Chapter 238

"You are dead!"

The skeleton man stared fixedly at Chen Ping in the picture; if eyes could kill, Chen Ping would have been hacked into ten thousand pieces long ago.

The undead army like a tide outside was not even as effective as corpses in hindering the Jiuzhou legion's advance.

The skeleton man couldn't understand the details of the Azure Dragon, Black Tortoise, and Bai Hu three guards in the Jiuzhou legion.

The images of the three holy beasts in the firmament were also something he had never seen before; even the gods he cooperated with expressed they couldn't understand.

Only knowing it was the power of star images, but not just simple star images.

This battle had been fought until now, and the skeleton man had lost the initiative from the beginning.

But having the courage to intervene in the Lord Trial, where else would the skeleton man have only such a little means?

He walked to the altar behind him, where only a weak flame remained in the fire basin.

The skeleton man closed his hands and reached into the fire basin.

The flame was held in his palm, and the pain erupting from the depths of his soul made the skeleton man scream.

The flame flickered, as if the god behind it was saying something.

But the skeleton man didn't listen at all, just insisting on holding the flame in front of him.

"I have no way out."

"If I can't pass this hurdle, everything will be over, even if... it is you... will... be implicated..."

The skeleton man could speak normally at first, but later the pain became more and more intense, and his teeth were directly bitten to pieces.

"Rather than... like this... might as well... give your... power... to me!!!"

The skeleton man's body began to melt, the skin full of runes dripping like wax, revealing the bones full of nerves inside.

The flame flickered more violently, and the death qi firmament outside also fluctuated violently.

Thunderous roars resounded throughout the entire North District continent, and terrifying pressure descended on the world, pressing so hard that even the Jiuzhou legion couldn't catch their breath.

The three holy beast phantoms in the sky flickered, almost directly dispersed.

At the critical moment, the three holy beasts stood in a three-talents position, letting out a roar in unison.

Starlight consolidated again, and the soldiers of the Black Tortoise, Azure Dragon, and Bai Hu three guards stabilized their trembling bodies.

The roaring gradually faded.

Visible to the naked eye, all the death qi was absorbed by the pitch-black mountain range, like the firmament overturning, what an apocalyptic scene!

Chen Ping withdrew his gaze from the sky and looked at the distant mountain range.

"It seems the mastermind behind the scenes is making a final counterattack."

Milan stood by Chen Ping's side, her expression serious.

"It's a god's aura, but I can't feel which one it is; the other party is very cautious, perhaps to avoid attracting the attention of the highest dimensional will."

"Hmm, He should have left,

Chen Ping let out a sigh of relief.

Even though a demigod is a terrifying opponent, if a demigod were to unleash their power, it would be useless even if the Kyushu Legion were twice as large.

But he just felt much more relaxed.

Because compared to a demigod, a god intervening personally is even more terrifying.

This means that the god is going all out, even if they will be watched by the Supreme Will and destroyed by the power of the supreme dimension.

But wiping Chen Ping and the others out like dust before dying would be more than enough...

Chen Ping still had one sentence in his heart that he hadn't spoken aloud.

One day, he would find this god and personally demand an explanation.

The undead legions were still fighting hard, but the advance of the Kyushu Legion was unstoppable.

The blood-evil of the Bai Hu Guard had become so thick it was almost overflowing, its baleful aura even more terrifying than the death qi of the undead.

The undead, who had never known what fear was, would still fall into uncontrollable trembling when facing the Bai Hu.

Led by the three guards, the Kyushu Legion killed their way to the front of the black mountain range.

Almost everyone had killed until they were numb.

The Divine Machine Battalion had already discarded all their large-scale ordnance, and their reserves of shells, crossbow bolts, and giant stones had long since been exhausted.

No craftsmen were brought for this operation, and there was no time for on-site production, so they simply dismantled and discarded them.

As for bows and arrows, every archer still had three quivers left, enough to handle at least one final battle.

By the time the Centaur Legion reached this point, they had long since exhausted their arrows, leaving only their scimitars.

The Centaurs had not been recruited for long enough, so they were the first to show signs of fatigue.

Chen Ping had the Centaurs return to the rear, where they faced fewer undead and could slowly recover.

0 Seeking flowers

During this time, Huang Qi continuously unleashed one high-level spell after another.

He knew there would be no place for him to perform in the coming final battle, so he might as well vent all his magic power in the process.

In one day, the Kyushu Legion slaughtered over one hundred thousand undead.

By the time they reached a distance where they could see the black mountain range, only the three guards remained in a complete state.

The Blood Spirit Zhu Que had also long since ceased firing and was resting in the rear with the Centaurs.

Lin Yifei felt as if his hands were hanging with thousand-pound iron weights, and he could barely lift them.

If the Divine Machine Battalion under his command hadn't been rotating in three teams, they would likely have collapsed by now.

Boom.

The Black Tortoise Guard set up their position at the foot of the black mountain range, forming a square formation to protect all the legions within it.

Li Xu and Chen Ya also let their respective legions take time to rest.

The undead outside were still dense and attacking tirelessly, but everyone was too lazy to pay attention to them at this point.

The giant shields of the Black Tortoise Guard formed a city wall, focusing only on defense, and every now and then, an explosive counterattack would send a pile of undead flying.

Chen Ping and Milan arrived in the sky in front of the legion, staring straight at the black mountain in the distance.

"Having reached this point, do you still not dare to show your face?"

Chen Ping said calmly.

On one of the peaks of the black mountain range, a massive amount of death qi was still concentrating downward like a funnel.

But after Chen Ping said this, the entire mountain range began to tremble.

Following this, the peak shattered and began to collapse from the top, with rolling dust and smoke covering the sky and sun as it rushed in all directions.

Amidst this, a figure rose into the air.

Part of his bones were exposed, and his entire body formed a very bizarre state.

His hands were held out flat, suspended in the sky in a cross shape.

His left hand held a blood-colored skull.

"Mortal, I made a mistake from the very beginning."

"I should have killed you at all costs from the start."

The skeleton man pointed his free hand at Chen Ping.

As soon as the words fell, a gray ray of light shot straight at Chen Ping—an instant-death spell, Finger of Death!

Milan suddenly stood in front of Chen Ping, golden light circling her body.

"I hereby take an oath: immune to all instant-death effects! Until this sinner who plagues the trial is eliminated!"

Spirit of the Oath!

A ring of light emerged from Milan's body and then covered the entire Kyushu Legion at an extremely fast speed.

After entering the range of the light ring, the gray ray immediately dimmed, the instant-death rule attached to it was directly stripped away, and it was finally blocked by Milan's shield.

However, the skeleton man remained unmoved, as if he had anticipated this scene long ago.

"Extraordinary strength; your status in the Soul Realm must be significant."

"Then how will you deal with this move?"

The blood-colored skull in the skeleton man's left hand lit up, and as he raised his right hand, all the undead here actually flew into the air!

Following this, countless undead were thrown at the Kyushu Legion like cannonballs, falling from all directions like a rainstorm!

Milan's pupils shrank.

"Black Tortoise!"

Below, Black Tortoise roared.

The Black Tortoise divine image fell directly into the Kyushu Legion, dissipated its own form to completely turn into starlight, and a bowl-shaped light shield completely wrapped them up.
