Chapter 308 - 179: Slay All the Powerful (Part 2)
Chapter 308: Chapter 179: Slay All the Powerful (Part 2)
Every being that could be turned into a Reincarnation Corpse here...
...had been quite formidable in life.
At the very least, they were beings who had comprehended a Root Source and grasped Extreme Intent.
But unfortunately...
It wasn’t enough.
Submerged Land Level Undead clashed head-on with Extreme Intent Warriors.
They were suppressed on all fronts, completely and utterly crushed.
Meanwhile, seven or eight Nation Destruction Level Demons swarmed a single Root Mage, circling relentlessly!
They called down Thunder, spread Soul Fire, or just gave chase at extreme speeds to engage in close-quarters combat!
If the power gap was immense, numbers truly wouldn’t provide an advantage.
But if... the power levels were already evenly matched, or even superior, and you also had superior numbers...
Then it became an exceptionally brutal slaughter.
In just five short minutes...
...these corpses that had emerged from the coffins were almost all wiped out by Lu Cang.
Only the last three were left, desperately holding on.
SWISH!
A swift black shadow flashed past in an instant!
The afterimage of the blade carved an incredibly deep gash into the earth.
The Reincarnation Sword Saint’s body was now sliced in half.
He now held his sword with only his left hand.
It stood in the center of the battlefield with a look of grim resolve, sword still raised, facing the Submerged Land Level Speed Ghost.
"Trying to act like some kind of cornered protagonist, are we?"
Lu Cang looked down upon the Reincarnation Sword Saint.
Just then, a third Submerged Land Level Demon joined the battlefield.
This Submerged Land Level Demon was covered in gleaming, dark, sturdy Armor. Just looking at it conveyed a sense of immense, indestructible fortitude.
It wielded a serrated Great Sword.
It strode slowly toward the Reincarnation Sword Saint.
By its second step, it was already upon the Sword Saint, its blade descending upon his head!
CLANG!
The Sword Saint raised his sword, parrying with all his might!
But at that moment, the Speed Ghost struck!
BOOM!
The force of the blade erupted violently to the side!
From the sky, however, another soul-shaking roar thundered down!
And in that very instant...
Lu Cang was suddenly struck by an extremely dangerous premonition. It flared up in an instant, and he hastily took a step back!
SWISH!
In that split second, countless sword auras materialized!
BOOM!
The entire landscape was carved with innumerable chasms. The Tier Six Nation Destruction Level and King Level Undead were actually torn to pieces by this single strike!
Slash·Cosmic Sword Aura
PFFT!
In a flash, it slashed through the three Submerged Land Level Demons surrounding him.
In that moment, Lu Cang felt it.
All three of his Submerged Land Level Demons had been severely wounded!
BANG!
The barrier before him shattered into thousands of fine sword auras.
Then they slowly dissipated.
Lu Cang had already retreated behind the Restriction.
’I didn’t plan on taking that hit head-on.’
’That was really dangerous. His counterattack was aimed directly at me.’
’If I hadn’t dodged...’
’...I wonder if I would have been seriously injured, or even killed.’
’The premonition of danger was incredibly strong.’
’Judging by the damage my three Submerged Land Level Demons took, I definitely would have been severely wounded if that had hit me.’
CLANK!
And right after that strike...
...in the very next instant, it was sliced to bits by Lu Cang’s Swift-Killing Speed Ghost.
On the other side of the battlefield...
...the heavens and earth rumbled. The Mage with silver twin-tails had finally finished gathering her Root Magic!
Tier Five Root Magic·All Elements
The Mage raised her Magic Staff!
SWISH!
Throughout the entire area, all Elements rose into the sky at her command!
Root Magic is conceived differently by each user.
The user’s individual philosophy determines the spell’s ultimate strength.
In Lu Cang’s eyes...
...he suddenly realized that all these Elements had become one.
’All Elements?’
BOOM!
The sky full of Elements ascended with incredible speed!
In an instant, they filled the entire dome beneath the Restriction.
This Mage specialized in multi-elemental Fusion Magic.
Fusion Magic is a required course for Level 5 Mages.
All the Elements converged high above her head!
"Seventh Forbidden Magic—Element."
"Elemental Initiation."
She swung her Magic Staff!
In an instant, the Elements at the apex of the sky descended upon the earth, shrouding and covering her!
Immediately after, a pillar of rainbow-colored light pushed outward in all directions!
BOOM—
Everything that came into contact with this pillar of light was disintegrated into its most basic Elements!
The pillar of light continued to expand!
It only came to a complete stop after spreading across a three-hundred-kilometer range.
The brilliant elemental light dissipated.
All that remained was an enormous, cylindrical crater in the earth...
And what had also vanished...
...was the Mage with the silver twin-tails...
Lu Cang assessed his losses.
Five of his Tier Six Nation Destruction Level Demons were dead.
’But I had my Submerged Land Level Demons retreat before I saw she was about to use her Root Magic.’
’So not a single Submerged Land Level Demon was lost.’
’That spell has way too long of a wind-up. And after casting it... she self-destructed along with the magic?’
’The Seventh Forbidden Magic?’
’Could it be one of the very first Forbidden Magics?’
One last Warrior remained on the field. Lu Cang thought for a moment, then sent eight Submerged Land Level Demons to hunt him down at once.
Two short seconds later...
...a frenzied aura erupted from that direction.
His Submerged Land Level Demons were hacked hundreds of times and took heavy damage.
But after this outburst, he was finished off by a descending pillar of light that followed close behind.
After killing them all, he figured he had killed over two hundred, almost three hundred in total.
Lu Cang slowly descended to the ground...
’Still a bit dangerous. Every single one of them had a final trump card they could unleash.’
’If I had gone up there to fight them face-to-face...’
Lu Cang thought that if he had fought that Reincarnation Corpse Sword Saint in close combat, it would have been quite troublesome.
’And he even launched a final counterattack right before death.’
’The slightest carelessness, and I would have fallen for it.’
"Hmm... I wonder if Lu Luwei is as strong as that Sword Saint?"
"I wonder if she could even break the defense of a Submerged Land Level Demon..."
The biggest problem with fighting Lu Luwei was that it was a hassle.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t actually win.
Lu Cang landed and walked over to the Reincarnation Sword Saint’s corpse.
The corpse was actually covered in all sorts of special Restrictions.
A Restriction preventing it from leaving this area.
A Restriction preventing it from being taken away.
A Restriction preventing it from being controlled.
’There really are a lot of them...’
These Reincarnation Corpses had no souls, which was why they couldn’t be turned into his Undead.
Lu Cang directly broke all the Restrictions on its body and stored the corpse in his Storage Space.
’This kind of thing always gives me the feeling it’s going to play dead and then jump up for a second round.’
’I don’t want to hear any nonsense about Reincarnation this or that...’
’...and then have it suddenly leap to its feet and hit me with an ultimate attack from behind.’
Lu Cang had no desire to take that attack head-on.
Lu Cang flew swiftly, while his other Undead continuously brought him corpses from all over.
The six people who had been watching from the sidelines huddled together.
Watching Lu Cang go around scavenging, some of them couldn’t help but gulp.
’So many corpses of powerful experts.’
’Just how much good stuff is he going to find?’
