Apocalypse I Have One More Keyword Than Others
Chapter 294 - - 292 Yang God Out of Body_1
—————✧✧✧✧—————
Looking at the new skill that had just emerged, Duge couldn't help but smack his lips. Damn, could really such an outrageous skill be born from someone rushing to their death?
Why?
Why wasn't friendship the second keyword?
With "Ease by Punching" and "Unity in Adversity," if he took those skills into reality, he would make the whole Qiyuan Star his friend. In minutes he could become a flesh-and-blood saint, maybe even blast away the spaceship from Pan-Universe Entertainment above his head.
...
"Brother Cheng, what's wrong?" Seeing Duge, who had suddenly fallen silent, Zhang Ziqing asked sheepishly, "Do you think we're dragging you down?"
"No, I've realized a new Divine Skill." Duge looked at everyone and said, "Later, no matter what happens, don't speak or get overly shocked. I want to test the new Divine Skill."
"Divine Skill?"
A burst of wild laughter, "Too late."
As soon as the voice fell.
The Demon Sealing Cave exploded with a loud bang.
The stone door shattered.
All the seals on the door were blasted away, and a surge of black qi --- sinister and cold --- gushed out.
In an instant.
The black qi covered the sky above Heavenly Master Mountain.
Then.
Five clusters of black qi had already smashed out of the Demon Sealing Cave, and the moment they left the cave, they transformed into human shapes.
There was an old man with white hair;
A female ghost in a bright red wedding dress with her black hair billowing;
A general clad in armor, wielding a sharp blade;
A child not even three feet tall;
The most conspicuous was a black fox in the middle of the ghosts. It had a third eye on its forehead and seven tails swinging behind it, larger than its own body...
"Not good."
Liu Guang's complexion changed drastically, and he began forming hand seals to activate the Demon-Suppressing Array.
But the next second.
He was violently knocked away, spewing a large mouthful of fresh blood in the air.
The female ghost in the red wedding dress withdrew her hand, and a voice that was both male and female spoke up: "Idiot, did you really think we would allow you to activate the array once we got out?"
"Little brother, did you really think we'd wait for you to lift the seal?" The Seven-tailed Fox shifted shape into a black-clothed girl who looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, adding a touch of seductiveness to her with the vertical eye on her forehead, "Do you think everything will go as you wish in this world?"
As she spoke.
The talisman array Duge had set up earlier spontaneously combusted, losing its function in an instant.
With the release of the Fox Demon and others, they brought a powerful deterrent. This force was much stronger than when Duge had snatched a body for himself.
So this was the true strength of the Ghost King?
The faces of Zhang Ziqing and the others changed on the spot.
"Don't hurt Brother Cheng," Chen Ziyong said hastily.
Duge glanced at them and activated the cohesion of "Unity in Adversity."
The moment the skill activated, thump! thump!
Zhang Ziqing, Luo Fan, Liu Guang, Wu Huai, and everyone else who had been prepared to die in front of the Demon Sealing Cave all collapsed to the ground.
Not understanding what had happened, the crowd was greatly alarmed, but at that moment, they were left with only the instinct to breathe; they didn't even have the strength to speak.
But it wasn't just them.
Noticing the anomaly at the Demon Sealing Cave, all the disciples of the Heavenly Master Sect rushed towards the back mountain, but in the moment that Duge activated his skill, more than three hundred people lost their strength in an instant and collapsed to the ground.
In the hotel dining alone, inconvenient to climb the mountain, Zhao Hongmei also had her strength drained. She slumped onto the table with a thump, causing a stir among the guests in the hotel...
As Duge consolidated everyone's strength within him, the spiritual power in his body surged, and his cultivation technique operated on its own.
The refinement of spirit returned to the void, Void Refinement integrated with the Dao.
Essence merged with energy.
In an instant, within his Dantian, a sparkling, translucent inner core quietly formed.
The moment the inner core was formed.
Duge had a thought, and a Yang God that looked exactly like him emerged from his body and floated in the air, looking down at everyone below.
With the Primordial Spirit emerging, he floated with a wondrous sensation, as if he could step into the void at any time. It was different from the initial body snatching in Pan-Universe Entertainment; it felt as though he had the whole world in his hands, filled with power.
"An inner core?"
"The Primordial Spirit has emerged?"
"How did he do it?"
"Wasn't his cultivation level just at Void Refinement?"
...
The Ghost Kings were utterly shocked.
The Seven-tailed Fox's third eye suddenly emitted a beam of golden light, attacking Duge in the air: "His inner core has just formed, and it's in its most vulnerable state. Let's join forces to eliminate him..."
The armored Ghost King's figure instantly swelled, growing dozens of times larger as he raised his long sword. Swinging it with murderous intent, he slashed towards Duge's Primordial Spirit.
At the same time.
The bride in the red wedding dress's hair flew about, transformed into countless venomous snakes, lunging to bite Duge.
The little ghost, not even a meter tall, flickered and turned into nine babies about a foot in length, blocking all the space around Duge. They either sprayed water, spat fire or exhaled black qi...
As for the white-haired Ghost King, he soared into the air, turning into a mass of black qi. The qi swelled and became a giant skull in the sky, opening its jaws wide to swallow Duge: "Die."
...
Zhang Ziqing and the others, drained of their strength, watched the dreadful scene before them, their eyes wide in terror, not daring to let out a single breath.
"You underestimate the inner core too much."
Duge's eyes shone with golden light, and with Heavenly Vision, he saw through all the attack patterns. With just a thought, he dodged all the attacks.
Meanwhile, with a raise of his hand,
a Lightning of Palm shot out, striking towards the Seven-tailed Fox.
At the same time,
his other hand drew a talisman in the void.
Golden light flickered.
The Heavenly Net Talisman, previously impossible to form, materialized in an instant.
He pushed his hand upwards, and the Heavenly Net Talisman exploded like fireworks in mid-air, and soon after, a cage glittering with golden light appeared, enveloping everyone within…
The Seven-tailed Fox and the others were greatly shocked.
The Ghost King waved his blade, trying to slice the cage.
Clang!
A loud noise echoed as his great blade was repelled, and in an instant, his figure shrank by at least one-tenth.
Seeing the situation turn dire, the Nine Child Ghost scattered, attempting to escape through the Heavenly Net.
But the seemingly loose golden mesh, at the moment of their approach, suddenly burst into a sphere of golden light, repelling all the nine infants.
The golden cage seemed to have a special restraint on ghostly beings, causing the Nine Child Ghost to emit a piercing scream.
“Is that all?” Duge glanced at them contemptuously, and with another drawing of his hand, the Five Dragons Talisman was formed. Gold, black, white, azure, and red dragons appeared out of nowhere, rushing through the wind and lightning towards the Ghost Kings.
The Ghost Kings were in disarray, each using their Divine Skills to counter the Five-Colored Divine Dragon.
Duge drew talismans addictively, and with a wave of his hand, he summoned the Bean Soldiers Talisman which burst into golden light, and three hundred Underworld Soldiers landed, joining the battlefield as well.
However, the combat power of the Underworld Soldiers was clearly inferior to that of the divine dragons. As soon as they faced the enemy, they were scattered by the Ghost Kings and returned to the void.
Liu Guang and Wu Huai watched Duge recklessly use talismans, feeling anxious yet powerless; drained of energy, they couldn’t even muster the strength to speak.
“His magical power comes from others.” The Seven-tailed Fox, being the backbone, slashed open a black dragon with his sword, shook its tail, and from its fur, hair-like arrows shot out, aiming for Liu Guang and the others who couldn’t move.
Duge flashed down, moving Liu Guang away from danger, then drew a Five Ghosts Transport Talisman to carry away Zhang Ziqing and the rest.
But trapped by the Heavenly Net, the Five Ghosts couldn’t truly transport them to a safe place.
He raised his hand once more and shot out a Lightning of Palm, ambushing the Ghost General who was entangled with the Azure Dragon. The Ghost General trembled as the impact caused some of the black aura wrapped around him to dissipate, provoking him into a furious roar.
Duge smiled and asked, “Convinced?” he said. “Submit to me and I’ll let you go; we can fight side by side.”
“Dream on,” the Seven-tailed Fox retorted angrily, “Don’t think we didn’t see Liu Guang submitting to you after offering a single ‘yes’ and becoming obedient. Now, you’re extracting their power for your own use; we won’t fall for your malicious schemes…”
“You are already in my grasp. Submit, or I will beat you until your souls scatter,” Duge declared.
“Hmph.” The red-dressed ghost bride scoffed disdainfully, “If we were that easy to kill, why would the Heavenly Master Sect need to trap us in the Demon Sealing Cave?”
The Ghost General said, “When the spiritual power of your Heavenly Net is exhausted, it will be our chance to break free. After that, fleeing to the ends of the earth, where will you capture us? Even if you are a Golden Core True Man, do you really think you’re invincible?”
Duge was momentarily stunned, then remembered that the talismans of the Taoist school, unlike the Divine Skills advanced through keywords, had a level of consumption.
He frowned, noticing that the Five-Colored Divine Dragon had already begun to dim, and said, “In that case, I will just seal you back in the Demon Sealing Cave. I will use the Supreme Pure Cave Seal to suppress you, and I don’t believe you can escape again. I thought of borrowing your strength to deal with other Heavenly Demons, but now it seems I can handle them myself. I no longer need your help…”
Upon hearing this,
the Ghost Kings were amused. The ghost bride mocked, “Then why don’t you make a Supreme Pure Seal and try it out!”
Liu Guang couldn’t help but reveal a wry smile, admitting he was indeed too naive. The Supreme Pure Seal and the Heavenly Master’s Seal were both grand seals, and as seals, they needed to be engraved with the aid of a Magic Artifact. Once completed, they became the Magic Artifact itself; even talisman paper couldn’t withstand it, let alone the idea of drawing one by hand.
Duge also sensed something was off from their expressions, but he didn’t care, “Being my friend, I wouldn’t let you suffer; why persist in your delusion?”
“Is that the fate of being your friend?” the bride of the Ghost King pointed to the dispirited Zhang Ziqing and the others.
“Once I’m done with you, I’ll naturally return their power,” Duge said.
“Show us by returning it to one of them, and then we’ll believe you,” the Seven-tailed Fox taunted.
“I won’t fall for your trick,” Duge glanced at the Seven-tailed Fox, and a thought struck him; another Lightning of Palm tore down from above. While she dodged, he quickly drew a Marriage Talisman and imprinted it onto the Seven-tailed Fox’s body.
Then, he flung another Marriage Talisman onto Chen Ziyong.
The Seven-tailed Fox was stunned, “You used a Marriage Talisman on me and him?”
“Yeah!” Duge smiled and drew out a Harmony Talisman.
The light from the talisman dissipated.
The Seven-tailed Fox’s gaze towards Chen Ziyong suddenly softened.
Chen Ziyong’s eyes also lit up excitedly in an instant. He looked in the direction where the personal panel was, clearly noticing a new skill had appeared there.
However, with his strength drained, he couldn’t even lift his arm to open his personal panel.
But with powerful enemies before him, it was impossible for Duge to switch to a mode of mutual support at this moment and return their strength. These adversaries’ spells were too strong, and he feared that without the support of the inner alchemy, they would rip him to shreds in an instant.
Noticing that the Seven-tailed Fox’s gaze towards Chen Ziyong was off, Duge decided to take a gamble. He proclaimed, “Fox Demon, if you don’t submit, I’ll tear your lover to pieces.”
No sooner had he spoken.
Then the red-dressed bride’s voice followed with scorn, “You’re kidding me. Don’t tell me you think that with a few sweet words from this little guy and a small Marriage Talisman, you can make the Seven-tailed Fox pair up with him?”
The Seven-tailed Fox laughed as well, “Go ahead and kill him then.”
Duge hesitated for a moment, then his hand drew a Five Thunder Talisman and dropped it onto Chen Ziyong.
At the moment.
The Lightning of Palm conjured by the Yang God was too powerful; he was afraid it would kill Chen Ziyong outright.
But the power of the Five Thunder Talisman was fixed, and with Chen Ziyong’s recuperative ability, he wasn’t likely to be killed by a single bolt of lightning.
The Seven-tailed Fox watched as Duge truly struck Chen Ziyong with the Lightning of Palm, a cold smile crossing its lips.
But the next second.
Its smile froze on its face.
Because.
It found itself involuntarily flashing forward, shielding Chen Ziyong from above and taking the full force of that Five Thunder Talisman with its body.
The sudden turn of events shocked everyone present.
There was silence between heaven and earth.
In that moment.
Several Ghost Kings even forgot to resist the gradually weakening Five-Colored Divine Dragon, staring at the Fox Demon who had moved to intercept the Five Thunder Talisman of its own accord, each one of them dumbstruck.
