Chapter 163: Child of the Corpse Nest, Demigod

At this moment, a strange laughter suddenly echoed through the space.

"Hehehe!"

This sound seemed to come from all directions, yet also as if it rang directly in everyone's minds. Everyone looked around warily, trying to find the source of the sound.

"The Patriarch's prediction came true," that voice continued, "this Undead Skeleton Body is powerful, but its weakness is too obvious."

As soon as the words fell, the sealed Corpse King's body suddenly began to tremble violently. Golden runes started to flicker, emitting a piercing buzzing sound.

"Bad!" Tu Shu's face changed drastically, "Retreat quickly!"

Everyone had just retreated a few steps when that body suddenly burst apart. Chunks of flesh and bone fragments scattered in all directions like sharp blades, a foul stench instantly filling the entire space.

"It's time to shed this skin!"

Before the words fell, a ferocious human head flew out from the shattered body. That skull was pitch-black all over, its eyes flashing with an eerie red light. Its mouth gaped wide, revealing a mouthful of ghastly white teeth.

"Don't let it escape!" Fugaku instantly realized the danger and shouted. He swiftly drew several kunai from his ninja tool pouch and threw them at that rapidly moving head.

However, that head's speed was shockingly fast. It traced a bizarre arc in the air, easily dodging Fugaku's attack. The kunai went "ding ding dang dang" as they fell to the ground, while that head had already burrowed directly into the earth.

"Boom!"

With the head's disappearance, the entire underground space suddenly shook violently, as if a small earthquake had occurred. Cracks on the walls rapidly expanded, rubble continuously falling from overhead.

"Retreat fast! This place is collapsing!" Mu Xi shouted.

Just as everyone tried to escape, a hair-raising screech suddenly resounded through the entire space.

Everyone involuntarily covered their ears, feeling their heads splitting with pain.

The next second, the center of the Corpse Nest suddenly erupted with a piercing red light. Countless blood-colored threads, fine as hair, spread out from the center, covering the entire Corpse Nest at an astonishing speed.

These threads seemed alive, precisely locking onto every zombie inside the Corpse Nest.

"It it's absorbing!" Mu Xi's eyes widened, her voice full of disbelief.

Before the words fell, those zombies connected by the threads began to convulse violently.

Their bodies withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if drained of all essence. In the blink of an eye, the originally dense zombie horde turned into a floor of dry bones.

Meanwhile, the situation outside the Corpse Nest was even worse.

At this time, Xiao Lin was leading an army on guard at the periphery, when he suddenly felt violent tremors coming from the ground beneath his feet.

"What's going on?" Xiao Lin frowned and asked.

Just then, a tearing sound came. Xiao Lin abruptly looked up, only to see countless cracks suddenly split open on the ground, spreading rapidly like a spider web.

He saw countless red threads drilling out from those cracks. These threads gleamed with a nauseating luster under the sunlight.

"Damn it!" Xiao Lin's pupils shrank sharply, and he immediately ordered: "Everyone, full attack! Don't let those things touch you!"

However, in the blink of an eye, several soldiers were caught. Their bodies were instantly sucked dry, leaving only dried corpses falling to the ground.

"Damn it!" Xiao Lin gritted his teeth. He abruptly turned around and roared at the troops behind him: "Full retreat! Retreat immediately!"

At the same time, the Corpse Nest's volume was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye. The flesh and blood covering the surface peeled away at an astonishing speed, as if absorbed by some invisible force, leaving only the supporting concrete skeleton.

"Could it be?" Fugaku said in a low voice, a flash of horror in his eyes, "The Corpse King's true form is this Corpse Nest itself?"

"Hahaha!" An arrogant laughter echoed in the air, shaking eardrums painfully, "All creatures in this nest are my great tonic! Not a single one of you thinks of leaving here!"

As soon as his words fell, a suffocating oppressive feeling suddenly enveloped them. Fugaku's years of combat experience made him instantly aware of the approaching danger.

"Careful! Everyone fall back!" Fugaku sharply raised his voice.

Before the words fell, the ground suddenly shook violently. Before everyone could react, a huge boom suddenly exploded.

"Boom!"

The ground instantly cracked open, countless rubble flying in all directions like shells. A gigantic arm covered in scales suddenly thrust out from the crack, slamming heavily onto the ground. The entire ground shook, dust flying.

"Rumble!"

Accompanied by a teeth-aching tearing sound, the ground was forcibly torn open into a huge fissure. A colossus slowly rose from underground, its size so vast that even the entire district seemed somewhat cramped.

When the smoke and dust dispersed, everyone gasped in unison. The scene before them made them feel a suffocating fear.

"Th-this is what monster?" Fugaku was secretly shocked.

It was a gigantic monster dozens of meters tall. Its lower half resembled a giant infant, chubby limbs wriggling constantly, as if ready to crawl at any moment.

The upper half was an adult's torso, muscles knotted, the surface covered in ferocious flesh lumps and scales. Most hair-raising was that on its torso, countless tightly shut eyes were densely distributed.

"Let you witness the Corpse Nest's Child who absorbed the qi and blood of ten thousand people!" The monster let out a deafening roar, its voice full of mockery.

Tu Shu stared at this colossus, brows tightly locked. He could sense the terrifying aura emanating from this monster's body, that power far exceeding his expectations.

"This has already surpassed the Heavenly Grade category. The energy inside its body is fully several times mine." Tu Shu said in a deep voice.

"Good eyes!" A cruel smile appeared on the Corpse Nest Child's twisted face. Its gaze swept over everyone present, finally landing on the Wu Xing Squad.

"Deal with the small fry first!" The Corpse Nest Child grinned savagely.

The next second, the Corpse Nest Child's figure suddenly vanished from the spot.

"This speed!" Fugaku's pupils suddenly contracted. The pattern in his Sharingan spun rapidly. However, the Corpse Nest Child's speed was inconceivably fast, as if crossing space in an instant, leaving only afterimages.

"Bad!" Mu Xi's pupils violently contracted. He almost instinctively shouted, "Wu Xing Qi Jia!"

A layer of multicolored energy barrier instantly formed around the five. However, before they could catch their breath, a giant fist had already slammed down.

"Bang!"

The Wu Xing Qi Jia shattered instantly like fragile glass. The terrifying impact force directly blasted the five away like kites with cut strings.

"Cough cough." Mu Xi struggled to climb up, a trace of blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth. He looked at the Corpse Nest Child in disbelief, his heart full of shock. The Wu Xing Qi Jia combining all their internal power couldn't even block a single strike? The Corpse Nest Child laughed wildly, his voice full of mockery: "Just this much ability? Truly too disappointing!"

Right at this critical moment, Tu Shu suddenly stepped forward, blocking in front of the Wu Xing Squad. A flash of determination crossed his eyes. He shouted angrily: "Little Mu, you all step back. Let Uncle handle this!"

Mu Xi and the others hadn't even had time to react when Tu Shu started unbuttoning his shirt.

"Tu Shu showing this expression for the first time, he's going to get angry!" Yan Yan suddenly shouted excitedly, anticipation shining in her eyes, "Legend says Tu Shu is a man with twelve-pack abs. Open your eyes and watch well!"

However, when Tu Shu took off his shirt, everyone froze. What met their eyes was not the imagined perfect muscles, but a round beer belly.

"?" Mu Xi's eyes widened, face full of incredulity.

Yan Yan was stunned too. He scratched his head and said somewhat awkwardly, "Uh, maybe Tu Shu's diet hasn't been regular lately?"

Suddenly, Tu Shu's body began to tremble violently. His muscles rolled like boiling water, and beneath his seemingly loose skin, countless muscle fibers grew frantically.

"Devil Muscle Form, activate!" Tu Shu let out a low roar.

In an instant, Tu Shu's body swelled several times over, muscles bulging all over him like small hills.

Seeing this, Yan Yan jumped up excitedly. "See? I told you Tu Shu has twelve abs!"

The Son of the Corpse Nest saw this, a flicker of surprise in its eyes. "Oh? Getting interesting."

Tu Shu took a deep breath and shouted, "Ji Xing Wu Qin Xi Hu!"

Before his voice faded, his figure became a blur, pouncing toward the Son of the Corpse Nest like a tiger out of a cage, so fast that afterimages lingered in the air.

The Son of the Corpse Nest clearly hadn't expected Tu Shu to be so fast. Just as it was about to throw a punch, Tu Shu's figure had already flashed behind it. "Hah!"

Tu Shu roared in anger and slammed both palms forward. A powerful qi wave, solid as substance, boomed against the Son of the Corpse Nest's back. The tremendous impact shook the entire Space, and countless stones fell from the Ceiling.

"Boom!"

The Son of the Corpse Nest was knocked back several steps by this sudden attack. A flicker of Anger crossed its twisted face as it roared, "Blood Lotus Body Armor!"

A layer of blood-red energy instantly covered its entire body, forming a solid defense. The Son of the Corpse Nest spun around suddenly, its huge fist smashing toward Tu Shu like a meteor.

"Ape!"

A gleam flashed in Tu Shu's eyes. He lowered his body and narrowly Dodged the blow, then leaped up, using the Wall for leverage, leaping onto the Wall like an agile monkey.

Tu Shu's body moved quickly along the Wall, easily Dodging the Son of the Corpse Nest's attacks. Those originally deadly attacks struck the buildings.

Boom! Accompanied by a Deafening roar, High-rise Buildings collapsed one after another. Concrete blocks, rebar, and Glass shards Poured Down like an apocalyptic disaster.

The next moment, amidst the dust and smoke, Tu Shu suddenly descended from the sky. His hands formed the shape of deer antlers, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

"Deer!"

A powerful Shockwave burst from Tu Shu's hands, heavily striking the Son of the Corpse Nest's chest. That layer of blood-red armor actually developed fine cracks under this blow.

Fugaku saw this and immediately activated Susanoo. A huge energy skeleton quickly formed, holding Ame-no-Nuboko in its hand.

Fugaku seized the opportunity, controlling Susanoo to Swing Ame-no-Nuboko. The huge staff came howling, striking the Son of the Corpse Nest's flank directly.

Boom! The blood-red armor shattered instantly, but the powerful impact still made it stagger several steps. A flicker of pain crossed its hideous face, but it was soon replaced by endless Anger.

"Enough! Damnable Humanity!" The Son of the Corpse Nest was enraged by the continuous attacks. A flicker of ruthlessness crossed its eyes, and it immediately raised both hands above its head: "Blood Demon Opens Heaven!"

A terrifying energy burst from within the Son of the Corpse Nest, forming a huge blood-red Light Pillar. Wherever the Light Pillar passed, everything was Destroyed completely.

Tu Shu was caught off guard and was struck by this terrifying energy before he could react. He flew backward instantly, spitting a mouthful of blood in midair, and slammed heavily into the Wall.

Fugaku saw this, his Pupils contracting sharply. He immediately controlled Susanoo, placing Ame-no-Nuboko horizontally before him, trying to block this heaven-and-earth-destroying blow.

"Boom!"

The blood-red Light Pillar boomed heavily onto Ame-no-Nuboko. The tremendous impact made the entire Space tremble, and countless Cracks appeared on the Ground.

Fugaku Grit Teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, maintaining Susanoo's defense with all his might.

Just as Fugaku barely withstood this terrifying blow, the Son of the Corpse Nest suddenly vanished from the spot. The next moment, its huge figure appeared beside Fugaku, punching toward Susanoo's flank.

"Boom!"

Susanoo's energy shell was instantly blasted with a Crack, and Fugaku's body involuntarily tilted to the side, losing his balance.

The Son of the Corpse Nest saw this, let out a sinister laugh, and its body once again became a blur, preparing to pursue the advantage.

At this Critical Moment, Fugaku shouted in a low voice: "Divine Revelation!"

The Mangekyou Sharingan pattern in his left eye spun rapidly, a sharp pain came, and blood flowed like tears. However, a gleam of brilliance flashed in Fugaku's eyes, and countless images flashed through his mind like Lightning.

In an Instant, Fugaku immediately reacted, tilting Susanoo backward while raising Ame-no-Nuboko to block.

"Clang!"

The Son of the Corpse Nest's fist slammed heavily onto Ame-no-Nuboko. The powerful impact made the entire Susanoo tremble. However, Fugaku used the momentum to Retreat, dissipating most of the force.

Without waiting for the Son of the Corpse Nest to react, Fugaku had already foreseen its next move. He controlled Susanoo to charge forward suddenly, Ame-no-Nuboko thrusting out like Lightning, pointing directly at the Son of the Corpse Nest's chest.

The Son of the Corpse Nest clearly hadn't expected Fugaku to predict its movements so accurately. In haste, it could only turn its body. Ame-no-Nuboko Brushed Past its body, leaving a deep wound visible to the Bone on its flank.

A flicker of pain crossed its trunk full of eyes. However, it soon steadied itself and threw another punch.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The Son of the Corpse Nest's attacks came like a sudden storm.

However, under the effect of Divine Revelation, Fugaku could always foresee the attack trajectory in advance and intercept the attack in advance.

This eerie battle rhythm made the Son of the Corpse Nest increasingly annoyed.

Suddenly, after one attack, the Son of the Corpse Nest suddenly noticed the strange light flashing in Fugaku's left eye and instantly understood the key.

"I see," the Son of the Corpse Nest narrowed its eyes, its voice filled with coldness, "is it your eye's ability?"

Fugaku's heart sank, realizing his Secret had been discovered. Before he could react, the Son of the Corpse Nest had already laughed sinisterly and let out a low roar:

"Myriad Demon Pupils!"

In an Instant, countless blood-red rays shot out from those eyes, the world between heaven and earth completely turned blood-red, and they swept toward Fugaku,

Although Fugaku had foreseen the danger in advance, the attack's range was too wide and its speed too fast to completely avoid. He instinctively raised his arms to cover his eyes.

However, those blood-red rays seemed to ignore all defenses, directly piercing through Susanoo's energy Barrier and stabbing into Fugaku's eyes.

"Ah!"

The intense burning pain made Fugaku involuntarily groan, and he Subconsciously closed his eyes, but his vision remained blood-red.

Just as Fugaku was temporarily blinded, the Son of the Corpse Nest seized the opportunity, laughing sinisterly and letting out a low roar: "Xue Mo Sha Shen Quan!"

Its fist was instantly wrapped in blood-red energy, smashing toward Fugaku like a Meteor.

"Boom!"

The terrifying blow struck directly onto Susanoo's chest.

Fugaku felt an indescribable tremendous force hit him, his whole body as if struck by a locomotive, instantly losing control of his body.

"Bang!"

The massive Susanoo at this moment was like a shell fired from a cannon, directly piercing through the Corpse Nest's remaining walls, flying outward, smashing several high-rise buildings, and finally crashing heavily onto a skyscraper in the distance.

"Crack!"

Right at this moment, the Susanoo enveloping Fugaku finally could no longer hold on, completely collapsing, its energy shell turning into countless fragments that dissipated in the air.

And Fugaku's body traced a long parabola in midair, like a meteor directly piercing through the entire floor, only stopping at the center location in the end.

"Huff, huff..."

Fugaku lay in the ruins, his chest heaving violently. He could feel a bloody taste spreading in his mouth; several ribs were likely already broken.

But what made him feel even more fear was that the strike just now had actually shattered his Susanoo so easily.

The dust had not yet settled when the Corpse Nest's Son's ferocious laughter already rang out: "Hahaha! Is that all you've got? Then let me send you on your way!"

Its body suddenly leaned forward, charging at Fugaku like a beast released from a cage, every step making the ground tremble, countless rubble turning to powder beneath its feet.

"Blood Dragon Claw!"

The Corpse Nest's Son roared, its right hand instantly transforming, turning into a gigantic dragon claw. Blood-red energy flowed between the claws, emitting a heart-palpitating aura.

Fugaku fiercely wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, shouting in a low voice: "Summoning Technique!"

His palm heavily slapped onto the ground, a complex rune instantly expanding on the ground.

"Boom!"
