Chapter 405: Chapter 233: Immortal King?

BOOM~~!

With two muffled thuds, the humanoid Demon Fiend’s bisected body exploded into two clouds of black mist.

WHOOSH~

The black clouds of mist billowed, then converged and merged into a single mass.

As the mist dissipated, a perfectly unharmed humanoid Demon Fiend appeared before Gu Zheng, Zhao Danv, and the other Demon Suppression Guards.

’Self-healing?’

’Regeneration?’

"The Undead Race..." Zhao Danv’s eyes widened, and she murmured, "Gu... Gu King, it’s one of the Undead Race! An Undead Race Great Monarch!"

Great Monarch was a title of respect for intelligent Demon Fiend races of the fourth rank. They were also called Monarchs or, just as with humans, Kings.

The Undead Race was one of the strongest races among the Demon Fiends. They had four limbs and were primarily humanoid, but their ferocious, terrifying appearance, like that of a malevolent spirit, had also earned them the name "Ghost Demon Race."

This Demon Fiend’s greatest trait was its immortality. Of course, it wasn’t truly immortal, but it was incredibly difficult to kill for good.

Gu Zheng had severed one of its claws and split it in two with his halberd, but it had simply turned to mist, reformed, and instantly returned to its original state!

"Heh~~"

In the air, the fourth-rank Undead Race Great Monarch’s grayish-white pupils flashed with green light, its gaze locked firmly on Gu Zheng. "Human King’s Body, I’m afraid you just don’t have what it takes."

’Don’t have what it takes?’

SWISH!

Gu Zheng’s figure flickered and disappeared from his spot.

SCHING~!

The Heaven-piercing Halberd trailed a crimson glow—a manifestation of interwoven thunder and fire—as it slashed through the void, cutting into the Undead Race Great Monarch.

The Great Monarch’s figure flickered, and it too vanished.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH~

They moved with incredible speed, flickering in and out of sight.

The Undead Race Great Monarch circled Gu Zheng, and Gu Zheng pursued it in a counter-rotation.

TSSSK! TSSSK!

The crimson glow from the Heaven-piercing Halberd tore through space. The released light lingered in the air, gathering together.

In an instant, the light formed a net, trapping the Undead Race Great Monarch within.

The next moment, the net of light suddenly contracted, dicing the Undead Race Great Monarch into pieces.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM~

Muffled explosions once again echoed through the sky.

The black mist billowed and gathered, and the Undead Race Great Monarch reformed once again.

However, this time the recovery wasn’t as fast. Gu Zheng activated his Hurricane Domain, and as tornadoes swirled, they engulfed all the black mist and began to shred it from within.

Countless wind blades, infused with Sword Intent and comparable to high-grade Spiritual Soldiers, shot through the black mist that was the Undead Race Great Monarch, preventing it from re-forming.

Thwarted, the Undead Race Great Monarch let out a low roar and decisively unleashed streaks of green light mixed with a corrosive power that slammed into the Hurricane Domain.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The deafening booms created a continuous shockwave, sending ripples across the void.

The colliding green light expanded continuously, like a swarm of Flood Dragons forcibly drilling through the Hurricane Domain. The internal and external forces converged in an attempt to crush the Domain.

A single Hurricane Domain couldn’t hold it back!

"I told you, human King’s Body. You’re not good enough. You just aren’t!"

The Undead Race Great Monarch cackled incessantly.

TSSSK! TSSSK~!

Gu Zheng swung his Heaven-piercing Halberd, sending streaks of crimson glow into the Domain. They severed the green-light Flood Dragons, and as the Thunderfire Circles attached to them, the green light immediately dimmed.

But soon, all the green light gathered together, erupting with an even stronger green glow.

The Thunderfire Circles attached to it were immediately ground away inch by inch.

"WHOOSH! WHOOSH~"

The crimson, scorching Burning Fire Domain activated at that moment, merging with the Hurricane Domain to suppress the black mist and green light with the force of two Domains.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

Instantly, the black mist scattered into wisps, and the green light dimmed by more than half.

"You have two Domains?"

The Undead Race Great Monarch was greatly shocked, its voice turning cold and sinister. "Two Domains, and it’s still not enough!"

’Two isn’t enough?’

’Then how about three!’

BOOM! BOOM!

The Giant Wood Blade Realm descended from the sky above, merging with the Burning Fire and Hurricane Domains. The three Domains together besieged the black mist and green light, causing them to grow ever dimmer.

At the same time, Gu Zheng controlled the three Domains, carrying the Undead Race Great Monarch with them as he rocketed into the upper atmosphere.

"Three Domains?"

The Undead Race Great Monarch roared in shock and anger, "You actually have three Domains!"

GRAAAH~!

The black mist suddenly intensified, and a roar emanated from within. It was accompanied by pulses of red light that generated a terrifying, space-rending power. This power was suffused with immense Vitality, yet it was also sinister and cold, characteristic of a creature of darkness.

Gu Zheng’s three Domains pressed in from all sides, constantly colliding with it and grinding it down, but the effect was limited.

Spurred on by this power, the black mist continuously expanded, and the green light began to shine brightly again.

The corrosive power assaulted the Domains, and the violent impacts caused them to cancel each other out.

WHOOSH~!

Gu Zheng maintained control of his Domains and continued to ascend straight into the sky.

He ascended tens of thousands of feet into the sky, to a height where the stars seemed close enough to pluck from the heavens.

CRACKLE~

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The Silent Extinction Thunder Realm opened swiftly, merging with the Hurricane, Giant Wood, and Burning Fire Domains. Its fierce and domineering power stimulated the combined Domain Power, causing it to climb rapidly.

The destructive power of the Silent Extinction Thunder Realm seemed to be the perfect counter to the Undead Race Great Monarch. Streaks of Thunder Power erupted, instantly annihilating the black mist they touched.

The green light also dimmed in an instant, its glow vanishing.

"Impossible~!"

A sharp, hoarse cry echoed through the upper atmosphere. Fear finally crept into the Undead Race Great Monarch’s terrified shrieks.

"How can you have four Domains? How can you have the Power of Silent Extinction?!"

Its voice was frantic, terrified, and full of disbelief.

The next moment, the red light within the black mist pulsed violently, as if about to explode, but Gu Zheng paid it no mind.

The black mist intensified again, the green light shone brightly once more, and a dark Vitality erupted vigorously. He ignored it all.

The Hurricane, Giant Wood, and Burning Fire Domains formed a solid blockade around the Undead Race Great Monarch, sealing all its escape routes, while the Silent Extinction Thunder Realm was dedicated to its annihilation.

Streaks of lightning crisscrossed through the air, striking the black mist and turning it to nothingness.

The blooming green light was also annihilated. It would flare up, then be extinguished, flare up, then be extinguished.
