Chapter 404: Slaying the God Shadow

Four people joined forces to attack, and the Death Heavenly Dao God Shadow suffered terribly.

Why? Of course because Shen Qing, the Martial Emperor, and Shen Wendao teamed up and caught him off guard.

Especially Shen Qing, who also stole a lot of his death power.

However, God Shadow couldn't figure out where Shen Qing and the others came from, or why the Defiers of Heaven suddenly gained three such powerful people.

This isn't his fault—the Heavenly Dao's intelligence network isn't weak; it's just that Shen Qing and the others arrived too recently.

But he had no time to think further, as the next wave of attack had already reached his face.

Only see the Martial Emperor's Slaughter Domain surging; as the battle progressed, the domain's might grew increasingly strong.

The Martial Emperor took a major step forward on his new path, though it hadn't been battle-tested yet, with many details needing refinement—yet this battle, with the Death Heavenly Dao being strong enough, was sufficient for him to perfect his new path.

Only see the color of the Blood Sea gradually deepening from its initial deep red, slowly turning blackish—correctly, the power of destruction was being thoroughly integrated into the Slaughter Domain.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Shen Wendao was in a similar state, wildly enhancing himself in actual combat, thoroughly integrating the power of extinction into his Dharma Golden Body.

God Shadow watched as the two grew stronger, and from another direction, like a ghost, Shen Qing would occasionally emerge from the netherworld angle to stab him—this too caused him to nearly collapse, and he roared.

"You three freaks—where did you come from?!"

Shen Wendao raised his hand, his eyes icy cold; the power of extinction mixed with primordial energy surged wildly in his golden body's hand: "I want you dead!"

Only see in the darkness, hundreds of palm prints wrapped in extinction power burst forth, violently blasting toward God Shadow, the surrounding space stained blackish by extinction power.

God Shadow let out a cold snort, his power surging, about to escape—yet at that very moment, the Martial Emperor's calm voice rang out across the battlefield.

"Lock!"

The power of destruction surged in; the black Blood Sea began to roar, as hundreds of black chains shot out from the Blood Sea, tightly locking God Shadow.

In the next instant, Shen Wendao's hundreds of palm prints slammed onto God Shadow's body.

Boom boom boom!

Destructive power and primordial energy exploded consecutively on God Shadow's body.

The death power on God Shadow's body flickered with a faint red hue.

"Do you think this is enough to defeat me..."

But the next moment, God Shadow's voice cut off abruptly—only see the smoke and dust settle, Shen Qing's Dragon-Slaying Blade already deeply plunged into God Shadow's body.

This move alone startled even the Death Heavenly Dao, let alone Ling with his Heavenly Eye—he couldn't help but speak.

"When?"

Indeed, Shen Qing had just hidden himself within one of Shen Wendao's blasted palm prints.

Shen Wendao's extinction power was originally shared by Shen Qing, so their extinction powers are highly compatible; plus, with the newly obtained Chaos-tier inscription "Heaven-Shrouding Dust," Shen Qing could perfectly hide within Shen Wendao's palm prints.

The degree of perfect hiding even startled Ling.

Shen Qing's lips curled slightly as his other hand began frenziedly devouring the Death Heavenly Dao power on God Shadow: "Now can you be defeated?"

"Still far too early!"

God Shadow roared, three black-shadow swords thrusting toward Shen Qing—at this moment, the Martial Emperor pointed a finger at Shen Qing, a dragging chain wrapping around Shen Qing's waist and yanking him backward rapidly; God Shadow's three black-shadow swords struck nothing but air.

Because the death power was again devoured by Shen Qing, God Shadow's aura dropped once more, and Shen Wendao noticed this, gathering extinction power and primordial energy again in his hand.

He blasted out even more palm prints than before, covering the sky and earth as they surged toward God Shadow, chains shooting out from the black Blood Sea.

The Death Heavenly Dao's voice turned cold; death power condensed into terrifying blades, slashing consecutively at the chains, blocking them all, then he lifted his gaze toward the frenzied palm prints filling the sky.

Simultaneously, he condensed palm prints to clash with Shen Wendao's palm prints.

He gave a cold smile, his gaze locking onto a palm print with something unusual about it.

"Do you think the same trick will still work?"

But as that palm print exploded, only extinction power and primordial energy remained—nothing else.

Shen Qing's figure appeared behind God Shadow, a blade slashing out, tearing another huge wound in God Shadow's body.

God Shadow condensed three black-shadow swords again, but they struck nothing but air once more—Shen Qing had already been pulled to safety by the Martial Emperor's chains.

Shen Qing's gaze locked onto God Shadow; the light on God Shadow's body flickered erratically.

His state was now far worse than before—having been slashed three times by Shen Qing and having taken hundreds of palm prints from Shen Wendao head-on.

Shen Qing's voice echoed in the hearts of the Martial Emperor and Shen Wendao.

"Martial Emperor, Ancestor, help me create some disturbance—the bigger, the better!"

The Martial Emperor and Shen Wendao exchanged a glance, both understanding what Shen Qing intended: he would use Chaos power to wear down God Shadow.

But Shen Qing didn't want others to know he had the ability to erode their souls, so he needed the Martial Emperor and Shen Wendao to cover for him.

In the Martial Emperor's pupils, blood-red flames ignited as he single-handedly slapped toward the Blood Sea.

"Bone Wave Sea!"

Only see the black Blood Sea trembling, the scene shifting, the Blood Sea emitting eerie creaking sounds, white shadows drifting beneath its surface.

In the next instant, countless white shadows surged out from the Blood Sea—looking closely, they were all skeletons: human, evil spirits, and ferocious beasts.

Dense masses of skeletons crawled all over God Shadow's body.

On Shen Wendao's side, the momentum was equally immense, radiant golden light flashing atop the great axe.

"Nine Heavens Collapse!"

Shen Wendao swung the great axe at extreme speed in midair, nine axes appearing—only see nine heaven-shrouding axe shadows in the dim sky chopping toward God Shadow.

The Martial Emperor let out a low roar.

"Ten Thousand Spirits Burial!"

Only see the countless skeletons begin to explode, even detonating the Blood Sea itself, while at this moment Shen Wendao's heaven-shrouding axe印 also landed, adding fuel to this explosion.

In this instant, the entire Boundless Realm fell silent, a terrifying shockwave from the skeleton explosion sweeping outward to engulf the entire Boundless Realm.

Even some weak Heavenly Dao and Defiers of Heaven were blown apart by the explosion's might, detonating repeatedly.

And now, at the very center of the explosion, God Shadow's physical body had already been torn apart by the violent assault into fragments, his soul being drawn by a mysterious force.

At this moment, a force steadied the fluctuations at the explosion's center, a thread of causality appeared, and began weaving Shen Qing's silhouette.

The gaze of the Divine Shadow Spirit fell upon Shen Qing, his voice somewhat gloomy.

"What, do you really think you can kill me completely?"

"I will return soon."

Shen Qing's voice was calm: "You wretched clans are quite confident, even giving yourselves such a pleasant name for the Heavenly Dao."

The Divine Shadow's eyes darkened: "Where did you learn this name from?"

"But if you dare utter this name, you have already been sentenced to death! We will hunt you relentlessly until death!"

Shen Qing laughed: "Hunting me until death? How frightening."

"But what if I don't let you send the message back?"

Only then did Shen Qing raise his hand, life force surging forth, directly entwining toward the Divine Shadow's spirit.

The Divine Shadow sneered: "Life force? Are you trying to heal my wounds?"

Yet as the life force's entwining completed, Shen Qing also gradually shed the disguise of life force, and an indescribable aura erupted.

Order and chaos, existence and nothingness, constantly erupting with contradiction.

This is the power of chaos.

Only now did Shen Qing truly observe the power of chaos closely: it flows, yet has no direction; it condenses, yet has no form; it expands, yet has no boundary.

The Divine Shadow's complexion finally changed, for his corporeal form began to vanish, yet without the slightest sensation of pain.

This is not destruction, nor erasure, but a return to the primordial state of chaos.

In chaos, death and life are one, and pain naturally does not exist.

"What power is this? How could it be possible?"

Suddenly, he recalled something, his expression and voice turning terrified: "Is it you? You've returned?"

"But how could this be? You should all be dead, so why are you still alive?"

"Impossible! Impossible..."
