Chapter 164
White smoke surged skyward like a volcanic eruption, enveloping the entire sky in the blink of an eye.
Just as the Corpse Nest Child's sharp dragon claws were about to touch Fugaku, a black shadow flashed through the smoke.
The next second, a tail thick as a giant pillar suddenly swept out horizontally.
"Boom!"
The terrifying impact force directly blasted the Corpse Nest Child's massive body away, like a shell fresh out of the barrel.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The Corpse Nest Child's body pierced through five skyscrapers in succession, finally crashing heavily into the main steel frame of the last skyscraper.
"Cough." The Corpse Nest Child climbed up from the ruins, the eyes covering its torso staring dead ahead at the rolling thick smoke. "This power... what exactly is it..."
The smoke gradually dissipated, and the silhouette of a colossus gradually emerged.
It was a giant beast nearly two hundred meters tall; its size was so vast it obscured almost half the sky.
Sunlight was blocked by its body, casting the ground into shadow.
Just one of its thighs was thicker than the Corpse Nest Child's entire body.
"Roar!"
The Poison Woman let out a deafening roar; sound waves surged through the air, shattering surrounding glass.
"Th-that... what monster is that?" Yan Yan widened her eyes, her voice filled with shock.
Tu Shu clutched his chest and climbed up from the ruins with difficulty, a flash of horror crossing his eyes. "You've hidden quite deep, haven't you, bastard."
While everyone was stunned, the Corpse Nest Child froze for a few seconds, then suddenly burst into wild laughter:
"Hahaha! Heaven helps me indeed!! Such powerful vitality! Several times purer than the qi and blood of ten thousand people!"
A trace of crazy red light flashed in its eyes. "If I can absorb vitality of this level, my strength can increase by at least double! Perhaps even..." It licked its lips. "I might reach the realm of gods!"
The Corpse Nest Child waved its hand violently, and hundreds of blood-colored tentacles shot out from its body, like a giant blood net enveloping the Poison Woman. "You're mine!"
However, just as the tentacles were about to touch the Poison Woman, Fugaku's eyes suddenly rotated, the Mangekyou Sharingan pattern shifting rapidly.
"Susanoo!" Fugaku let out a low roar, fresh blood flowing from his eyes and sliding down his cheeks.
At this moment Fugaku went all out, no longer caring about the Sharingan's consumption; as long as the task could be completed, any injury could be healed in the Main God Space.
In an instant, a huge black energy skeleton rapidly formed around the Poison Woman. Energy surged like a tide, swiftly covering the Poison Woman's entire body.
Simultaneously, a ferocious Karasu-Tengu mask appeared out of thin air, precisely covering the Poison Woman's face.
"Boom!"
The moment Susanoo fully formed, a black mountain nearly two hundred meters tall stood erect in the city center.
The Corpse Nest Child's blood-colored tentacles crashed into Susanoo's energy shell, emitting a piercing "hiss" sound, only leaving shallow marks on the surface.
"An external incarnation actually has this kind of use." Seeing this, a trace of interest flashed in the Corpse Nest Child's eyes. He abruptly raised his right hand. "Blood Demon Opening Heaven!"
A sky-reaching energy erupted from the Corpse Nest Child's body; a blood-colored light pillar surged skyward, piercing the clouds.
Wherever it passed, buildings instantly turned to dust, and the air was torn open with a long crack.
"Not good!" Fugaku's face darkened, and he immediately controlled the Poison Woman to raise its thick arms, blocking horizontally before itself.
"Boom!"
The blood-colored light pillar slammed heavily onto the Poison Woman's arms; the terrifying impact force swept across the entire city like a tsunami.
And in the moment the light dissipated, the next second, Susanoo's giant right hand suddenly flipped, and the Ame-no-Nuboko, like a mountain born across the sky, smashed down toward the Corpse Nest Child's head.
"Hmph!" The Corpse Nest Child snorted coldly, its legs stomping hard; the ground instantly collapsed. Its body shot sideways like a shell out of the barrel.
"Divine Oracle!" The Mangekyou Sharingan in Fugaku's left eye rotated wildly; the scene of the opponent's dodge instantly entered Fugaku's mind.
The Ame-no-Nuboko's trajectory suddenly changed, as if it had long predicted the Corpse Nest Child's movement, smashing directly toward the spot where it would land.
"Blood Demon Armor!!" The Corpse Nest Child's pupils shrank.
In an instant, countless blood threads shot out from its body, and in the blink of an eye condensed into a layer of thick blood-colored armor on its body surface, covered with ferocious reverse barbs.
"Boom!"
The Ame-no-Nuboko smashed down heavily; the Corpse Nest Child's massive body, like a giant nail, was directly driven into the ground.
The ground instantly collapsed, forming a huge deep pit hundreds of meters in diameter.
The blood-colored armor shattered inch by inch under this terrifying impact; the Corpse Nest Child's flesh was torn open. "Such strong power." The Corpse Nest Child revealed a cold smile. "But to me, this bit of injury is just an itch!"
The next second, it leaped high; the wounds on its body healed completely at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The Corpse Nest Child grinned savagely. "Since you want to watch, I'll let you watch your fill!"
"Blood Demon Thousand Hands!"
In an instant, countless blood-colored energies gushed out from its body.
These energies condensed in mid-air into hundreds of giant blood-colored fists, each several stories tall, emitting a suffocatingly terrifying aura.
"Die for me!"
Over a hundred giant blood fists, like a violent storm, bombarded Fugaku from all directions. The air let out a piercing shriek under this terrifying power.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Continuous explosion sounds resounded through the clouds. Terrifying air waves swept out; buildings within several kilometers were turned to dust by this force.
Dust filled the sky; the entire city seemed to have fallen into an apocalyptic scene.
Yan Yan swallowed hard. "My god, if they keep fighting like this, this city will probably..."
In the distance, the evacuating army soldiers all stopped in their tracks, looking up toward the battlefield.
They saw the figures of those two colossi fighting fiercely in the city center; every collision triggered a minor earthquake.
"What exactly is that giant creature?" A young soldier widened his eyes, his voice full of disbelief.
"Don't worry about that!" Xiao Lin grabbed his shoulder and shouted sternly. "Evacuate immediately!"
Under this dense assault, more and more cracks appeared on the Poison Woman's massive body surface, and the bloodshot veins in Fugaku's eyes grew more numerous.
Suddenly, Fugaku's body trembled, and he abruptly raised his right hand to cover his left eye; it seemed the use of the divine oracle just now had overtaxed his ocular power, causing a momentary lag in his movements.
"An opening!" the Corpse Nest's Child sneered, its figure vanishing from among the countless blood fists.
The next moment, a suffocating pressure descended from above; Fugaku abruptly looked up, only to see the Corpse Nest's Child had appeared above the Poisonous Woman's head at some point.
"Blood Demon Shattering Heaven Fist!"
The Corpse Nest's Child's right arm swelled several times in an instant, blood-red energy condensing on the fist like a volcanic eruption, even the surrounding clouds were torn apart by this force.
Boom! The immense shockwave shook the entire Poisonous Woman, and the ground beneath her feet instantly cracked under this terrifying power.
The Susanoo energy shell on the Poisonous Woman's head shattered instantly, revealing the real body within.
"Just like that!" a flash of madness crossed the Corpse Nest's Child's eyes.
Its right arm muscles swelled again, hideous veins throbbing on the surface.
"The power of this body is truly surprising!" the Corpse Nest's Child let out a wild laugh, "One more punch, and I'll send you to the afterlife!"
However, just as it was about to unleash the fatal blow, Fugaku's lips suddenly curled into a strange arc, as if everything was within his expectations.
This subtle change in expression caused the Corpse Nest's Child's movement to hesitate involuntarily.
"Not good!" the Corpse Nest's Child's pupils contracted sharply, the eyes covering its torso all flashed with a trace of fear, and an unprecedented sense of crisis swept through its entire body in an instant.
At this moment, Susanoo's giant hand had already grabbed over like lightning.
The Corpse Nest's Child tried to retreat, but shockingly discovered its trajectory had long been locked, unable to escape no matter what.
"Damn it!" the Corpse Nest's Child let out a low roar, "Blood Demon Evasion Art!"
Before the voice fell, its body instantly turned into a mass of blood mist, attempting to escape thereby. However, Fugaku's right eye suddenly burst forth with a strange eerie light, the Mangekyou pattern in his eye spinning crazily: "God World!"
In an instant, time and space seemed to freeze. The spreading blood mist suddenly became sluggish, as if trapped in glue.
Even the surrounding air became viscous, and even the falling of dust became abnormally slow.
Fugaku's face turned pale, his forehead covered in cold sweat; obviously the consumption of this ability was immense, but he had no hesitation whatsoever.
"Boom!"
The Ame-no-Nuboko in Susanoo's hand instantly shot toward the blood mist in the air; the golden seal runes on the Ame-no-Nuboko's surface lit up instantly, flowing along the pillar like water.
"Screech!"
At this moment, the blood mist rapidly condensed under the power of the seal, and in the blink of an eye it had reformed into a solid body.
"Impossible! How could he be hit in this state!" the Corpse Nest's Child's voice filled with disbelief came from within the blood mist.
"Boom!"
The Ame-no-Nuboko directly pierced through the Corpse Nest's Child's chest. The immense shock force nailed its huge body heavily to the ground, kicking up dust all over the sky.
"Crack! Crack!"
The ground cracked inch by inch under this terrifying force, centered on the Corpse Nest's Child, cracks spreading in all directions. Broken stones flew, steel bars snapped, and the entire ground seemed about to collapse.
"Bastard," the Corpse Nest's Child growled, struggling desperately to break free, but the seal runes on the Ame-no-Nuboko blazed with light, and golden chains extended from the runes, tightly binding it.
Every time it tried to struggle, the chains tightened further. Golden runes flowed on the chains, firmly suppressing the blood qi within its body.
"Finally over," Fugaku panted, cold sweat continuously sliding down his forehead; the consumption of continuously using dojutsu made his face abnormally pale.
At this moment, an unexpected change occurred! "Blood Demon Qi Ninth Layer!" the Corpse Nest's Child suddenly roared: "Blood Demon Holy Body!"
The Corpse Nest's Child's body suddenly began to writhe violently, flesh and blood gathering toward the head like melting candles.
"What?!" Fugaku's pupils contracted sharply, a trace of shock flashing in his eyes.
The seal runes on the Ame-no-Nuboko burst forth with dazzling golden light, but could not stop this change at all.
In the blink of an eye, that huge body had shrunk to the size of a normal person.
At this time, the Corpse Nest's Child had a slender figure, covered entirely by a shell like blood-red crystal; the eyes originally covering its entire body had all disappeared, replaced by a pair of blood-red vertical pupils.
He suddenly waved his hand, chains exploding in the air, turning into specks of golden light and dissipating.
"You think a seal of this level can trap me?" the Corpse Nest's Child stuck out its scarlet tongue and licked the corner of its mouth, revealing a bone-chilling smile, "Truly too naive!"
Fugaku's face was unprecedentedly solemn. He could feel that the aura emanating from this seemingly petite figure before him was several times more terrifying than before.
The energy originally within that huge body was now all compressed into this small body, like a bomb that could explode at any moment.
But at this time, Fugaku's overuse of the Mangekyou Sharingan had caused his vision to begin blurring, blood continuously overflowing from the corners of his eyes.
He had now given his all, and Susanoo had begun to dissipate, but the opponent actually still had such a trump card.
"Give me your flesh and blood!" the Corpse Nest's Child laughed wildly, greedy light flashing in its blood-red vertical pupils.
At this critical moment, a burly figure suddenly appeared before the Corpse Nest's Child; it was Tu Shu.
"Looks like I still have to use this move!" a trace of resolve flashed in Tu Shu's eyes.
The Corpse Nest's Child suddenly turned around, only to see Tu Shu had already formed hand seals with both hands.
"Binding Dragon Lock!" Tu Shu let out a low roar, and majestic qi instantly turned into dozens of chains, coiling around the Corpse Nest's Child like silver snakes.
"With just this level of..." the Corpse Nest's Child sneered coldly, but its smile soon froze.
The power contained in these chains, even its proud Blood Demon Holy Body could not break free.
"Kid, this move is my trump card hidden at the bottom of the box." Tu Shu's voice suddenly became hoarse, "All my life's cultivation is finally handed over to you!"
Tu Shu's veins bulged on the surface of his body, muscles all over his body trembling violently. The internal force and blood qi within his body surged out recklessly, madly injected into this final strike.
"Hiss!"
Tu Shu's body rapidly withered; his originally knotted muscles seemed drained of moisture, his skin lost its luster, shriveled like dry tree bark, only his right arm swelled crazily under the injection of this force.
"One Slaughter Thousand Miles!"
Tu Shu's roar shook heaven and earth; his entire body turned into a bolt of blood lightning, heavily slamming into the Corpse Nest's Child.
The terrifying shockwave shot forward like a light pillar, sweeping along the direction of the punch; wherever it passed, everything was reduced to powder.
"Boom!"
Dazzling white light instantly devoured the entire battlefield; the violent energy wrapped around the Corpse Nest's Child's body, shooting straight toward outside the town.
Buildings on the city outskirts collapsed with a boom under the aftershocks, the ground cracking continuously, extending all the way to the suburbs, leaving only a straight, massive abyss reaching straight to the sky.
"This should be over, right?" Fugaku murmured to himself, the chakra in his body nearly exhausted, even maintaining the Sharingan becoming difficult. However, right at this moment, a hair-raising scene appeared before his eyes.
"Pfft!" A blood-red palm suddenly pierced out from Tu Shu's chest, Tu Shu's withered body shuddering violently, fresh blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
"What?!" Fugaku watched this scene in disbelief.
"The ninth layer of the Blood Demon Qi realm, as long as a thread of blood qi enters the body, one can be completely reborn." The Corpse Nest Child's voice transmitted from within Tu Shu's body, full of mockery, "Your attacks were indeed strong, unfortunately... still a bit lacking."
Tu Shu's body began to twist and deform, flesh and blood melting at a speed visible to the naked eye, absorbed by a bizarre power.
"Fugaku... quick... attack me!" Tu Shu's eyes widened, letting out a final scream, "Don't... let him succeed!"
Fugaku reacted instantly, controlling the Poison Woman to swing the Ame-no-Nuboko. However, it was already too late; the Corpse Nest Child's figure suddenly turned into a cloud of blood mist, bursting out from Tu Shu's shriveled corpse, directly drilling into the part of the Poison Woman that had lost Susanoo's protection.
"Not good!" Alarm bells rang in Fugaku's heart.
The next moment, beneath the Poison Woman's skin it seemed as if countless worms were wriggling; the originally smooth surface suddenly sprouted countless ferocious eyeballs, each eyeball spinning wildly.
A huge crack suddenly split open on that ferocious face, and the Corpse Nest Child's skull poked out from within.
The next second, before Fugaku could even react, vast blood qi suddenly blasted out from within the Poison Woman's body; Fugaku's body flew out like a kite with its string cut, spraying a large mouthful of fresh blood in midair, crashing heavily onto the ground.
"Hahaha! So much flesh, so much blood qi!" The Corpse Nest Child let out a wild laugh: "Now it's all mine, fuse completely with me!"
The words barely fell, a terrifying aura erupted from its body. Blood-colored energy spread to the surroundings like a tide, dyeing the entire sky a bizarre blood-red. The air was filled with a nauseating stench of blood, as if one were in a mountain of corpses and sea of blood.
Fugaku struggled to climb up; at this moment the air seemed to have turned into sticky blood, every breath feeling like a knife cutting his throat.
Despair spread in his heart; at this moment, he felt true powerlessness for the first time.
"Could it be... it ends just like this?" Fugaku's heart was full of bitterness; the dojutsu he prided himself on seemed to have lost its effect against an opponent of this level.
He even felt the summoning contract between him and the Poison Woman rapidly weakening; a blood qi covered it, that feeling like watching his own limb being slowly cut in half.
Right at this desperate moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly crossed Fugaku's mind.
"Summoning Contract" A glimmer of hope suddenly burst forth in his eyes.
According to the Main God's explanation, all summoning-type abilities approved by the Main God must transit through the Main God Space.
In other words, even if parasitized, as long as the summoning contract hasn't been unsealed, the Poison Woman is still bound by the Main God Space! "Perhaps there's still a chance!" A trace of determination flashed in Fugaku's eyes. He took a deep breath, his hands rapidly forming hand seals, chakra surging wildly in his body.
"Unseal!" Fugaku shouted low.
Right at this instant, the Corpse Nest Child's expression suddenly changed; he could feel a mysterious power attempting to summon the Poison Woman away.
"No! This is my body! My power! No one thinks to snatch it away!"
The eyes covering the Poison Woman's entire body spun wildly, blood-colored light flickering uncertainly; the Corpse Nest Child desperately tried to suppress this power, but this power seemed to come from the void, impossible to even touch.
"Since it's like this, let me see what is doing the summoning!"
The Corpse Nest Child accelerated fusion with the Poison Woman; at the moment before the Poison Woman was transmitted, the two completely fused together.
Bang! The next second, the Poison Woman's entire body turned into a cloud of white smoke and dissipated in the air.
