Chapter 1701: Chapter 208: The Kind-Hearted Grim Reaper (Grand Finale)
Under Ah Dai’s control, the Grim Reaper Scythe transformed into paths of dark green divine marks, constantly battling against the waves of Hades. No matter how enormous the opponent’s impact was, Ah Dai’s body, like a lone leaf boat in turbulent seas, was never consumed by the mad waves.
While using the Seventh Move of the Hades Sword Technique, "Nether Waves," Hades fully integrated his divine power and consciousness into the Sword of Hades to reach the realm of Unity of Heaven and Man. Therefore, he did not know what happened or whether Ah Dai could resist his attack; he simply unleashed his Hades power fully. In his mind, he had already pushed his magic power to the limit; even if he couldn’t kill Ah Dai, he should at least inflict some wounds on him.
The power of the Nether Waves gradually waned, and darkness returned to the Netherworld. Hades’ consciousness separated from the Sword of Hades. As he flapped his newly reborn wings, channeling his divine power to search for Ah Dai’s location, he was shocked to discover that Ah Dai had vanished, disappearing into thin air without a trace. Even the slightest aura from Ah Dai could not be sensed. Vincent frowned, finding it incredible, because although his Nether Waves were strong, they couldn’t kill Ah Dai eight hundred years ago, let alone now that his cultivation level had advanced further. How could he die so easily?
A flicker of red light in his eyes, Hades suddenly detected a faint aura, one rich with divine energy, though slightly different from the Power of Death on Ah Dai. But this was the only clue. With a light wave of his wings, he appeared at the source of the aura, a blue gemstone. The diamond-shaped gemstone bore a golden symbol, and with Hades’ discernment, he recognized it as a high-level divine artifact. Abruptly, Hades Vincent felt a chill of fear as his instincts took over. Almost without hesitation, he retreated swiftly. Just as he moved back, a crescent-shaped wave of immense energy burst from the blue diamond-shaped gemstone, slicing toward Hades. Although subconsciously aware it was a ruse, he had not enough time to react. Helpless, he used his divine power to wield the Sword of Hades, forming a solid barrier before him.
In the deafening explosion, one was unguarded, and the other acted with intent. In a contest of equal power, the outcome was swift. The barrier Hades created with the Sword of Hades shattered under Ah Dai’s Grim Reaper Scythe’s furious assault. The Brahman Devil Armor on him saved his life once more. While the Sword of Hades absorbed most of Ah Dai’s attack, the Brahman Devil Armor, infused with Hades’ magic power, neutralized the scythe’s sharpness, but at the cost of a gash extending from his chest plate to his waist. Hades reacted swiftly, knowing Ah Dai wouldn’t give him time to restore the armor. Without hesitation, as the scythe’s assault on the Brahman Devil Armor eased, he surged the Evil Aura on the Sword of Hades to an unprecedented strength and shouted, "Hades Absolute End—Hundred—Cycles—." It was the Eighth Move of the Hades Sword Technique—Nether Reincarnation. Countless blue arcs spun like whirlwinds around Hades’ body. If Ah Dai’s cultivation hadn’t nearly reached that of him and the Divine King, the mere illusion of reincarnation conjured by the Sword of Hades’ Evil Aura would have shattered his spirit and captured his soul. But the current Ah Dai was different; his spirit was as steadfast as a rock, immune to any spiritual attack. However, the immense power of Nether Reincarnation was still enough to deal a heavy blow to him. After all, the eighth move of the Nether Nine Techniques was twice as powerful as the seventh. In the battle eight hundred years ago, Hades broke through Ah Dai’s defense with this move, severely wounding him, and Ah Dai had to burn his divine sense to cut off Hades’ right arm. Despite his surprise at Ah Dai’s attack, successfully executing Nether Reincarnation brought a cold smile to Vincent’s lips. Even Ah Dai, who wielded the Sword of Hades for years, did not know its secret. Due to its immense power, the sequence of the nine techniques couldn’t be altered beyond the fifth move, Nether Prison. Each succeeding move exponentially increased in power, requiring an immense Evil Power. Nether Prison prepared for Nether Thousand Slash, and so on, such that even the creator of the Sword of Hades, Hades, couldn’t defy this order. Otherwise, starting with the last three moves of the Nine Techniques, without giving Ah Dai a moment to breathe, would have ended him under this most evil sword long ago.
As Hades swung the Sword of Hades, creating phantoms, Ah Dai’s body suddenly erupted with a layer of black light, fleeting as it was. No change occurred in Ah Dai himself. Facing the powerful arcs of Nether Reincarnation, Ah Dai, somewhat panic-stricken, waved the Grim Reaper Scythe, forming layers of dark green defenses before him. Yet, the overwhelming evil force of the hundred spectral blue lights of Nether Reincarnation proved too mighty. No matter how vigorous the divine power of the Grim Reaper Scythe, it couldn’t withstand the evil wave. The dark green barriers shattered into fragments, and even the Grim Reaper Scythe broke bit by bit. Under the massive energy assault, Ah Dai’s body was torn apart, completely devoured by the Evil Power of the Sword of Hades.
