Chapter 147: War Goddess Saehemit!

Because the death energy inside its body was suppressed, the Tot God Statue could no longer release the necrotic spell in time, so it did not hesitate and activated three pages of the Book of the Dead.

The next second.

Above the temple, countless deep‑gray arrows imbued with a rotting aura rained down from the sky, showering the Necrotic Giant Lion.

【Necrotic Arrow】

At the same time, a black downpour fell from the temple's sky, the black rain carrying a chilling aura.

Even a low‑rank King‑realm being, stained by a single drop, would become a puddle of corrupt water.

【Corrosive Rain】

On the ground, a dozen or so necrotic tentacles, each over 30 meters tall and somewhat illusory, sprouted.

Once these tentacles appeared, they swiped en masse toward the Necrotic Giant Lion.

【Necrotic Touch】

All three necrotic spells were instant‑cast.

Facing the Tot God Statue's powerful assault, Chen Mo burst into astonishing speed, effortlessly evading every spell released by the Book of the Dead.

The revival of his mythic bloodline and the boost from self‑disciplinary titles such as 【Raging Lion】 pushed his speed to the limit! Almost simultaneously, he reached the Tot God Statue, swung his Necrotic Claw, slamming it hard onto the statue's bird‑like face, causing it to compress and deform instantly.

At the same time, a gray necrotic shockwave poured out of his mouth.

These necrotic abilities are powers Chen Mo awakened after transforming into a necrotic form.

The Tot God Statue tried to dodge, only to find the Necrotic Giant Lion before it moving at astonishing speed.

Coupled with the suppression of an unseen colossal force, its movements became sluggish, leaving no time to evade.

Boom! The overwhelming force hurled the Tot God Statue, slamming it heavily against a stone pillar.

The necrotic shockwave further tore a huge hole through its golden robe and the nether body at its chest.

The Tot God Statue attempted to mobilize death energy for recovery, but under the 【Demon-Subduing】 field, the restoration was rather slow.

This made it extremely frustrated.

It was also its first time encountering such a strange spell!

It could, to some extent, suppress the death energy within it!

Before the Tot God could recover, Chen Mo's attacks came one after another!

The Necrotic Giant Lion reappeared before it, its Necrotic Claw striking mercilessly! Boom! The Tot God Statue was flung again, crashing hard onto the temple floor.

"You"

Boom! The Tot God Statue tried to say something, but Chen Mo gave it no chance; a necrotic charge blasted it far away.

"Necrotic Whip!"

Boom! The Tot God Statue unleashed a spell from the Book of the Dead, but the giant lion was so fast that after dodging, it was mercilessly flung again.

This made the Tot God Statue feel extreme anger.

Now it felt like a rubber ball, being wildly battered by the Necrotic Giant Lion before it, with no chance to retaliate!

Chen Mo grew more excited with each strike, thoroughly enjoying himself.

I have to admit, the Tot God Statue is far fleshier than he imagined!

Although labeled a "Mage," it withstood his attacks repeatedly without dying!

Terrifying indeed! No wonder it's a golden statue forged from divine blood!

"Damn! Why is this challenger so strong!"

The Tot God Statue was seething with anger; it was its first time feeling so stifled.

It felt powerless.

"If this keeps going, I'll truly be played to death by this Necrotic Giant Lion."

The Tot God Statue thought this, and decided to hold nothing back, to unleash all its power and defeat the hateful trial‑participant before it! "You have angered me!" (in necrotic tongue) it said, then kept taking blows while brandishing the counterfeit Book of the Dead.

It activated every spell on it.

In an instant, death energy surged within the pyramid, creating a terrifying pressure as if the apocalypse had arrived! Necrotic Giant Hand, Withered Giant Dragon, Shadow Embrace, Nether Claw, Necrotic Eye, Bone Dragon Summon—countless powerful necrotic skills poured out as if free.

Each of these could easily destroy a small city.

Now they were released together, targeting only one! Witnessing this, the outside Sphinx widened its eyes, feeling both startled and shocked.

"Has the Tot God Statue activated all necrotic spells?"

Even he had never seen the Tot God Statue unleash such a terrifying attack!

For countless ages, many challengers have passed the first six trials and entered the seventh.

When facing these challengers, even the Tot God Statue, despite using the Book of the Dead, could at most release three necrotic spells simultaneously.

When he first attempted this trial, the Tot God Statue ultimately released three powerful necrotic spells.

It thought this was the Tot God Statue's "final test."

Even so, it was already struggling to fend them off then.

A scene with hundreds of necrotic spells released at once was beyond its imagination! The earlier assault by the Necrotic Giant Lion must have fully enraged the Tot God Statue, prompting it to unleash all necrotic spells!

Facing the overwhelming spell barrage, the Necrotic Giant Lion's gaze remained calm, fearlessly charging at the bird‑beast humanoid statue.

"It's over."

Seeing the Necrotic Giant Lion drowned in countless necrotic spells, the Tot God Statue thought to itself,

It felt a slight pang of guilt.

Did it perhaps overdo it?

This Necrotic Giant Lion won't be smashed to nothing, unable to revive, right? Although the Trial Temple enforces the 【Trial Participants Cannot Die】 rule, this time its strike was truly ruthless!

This is still the first trial‑participant to receive such a "treatment."

But the next second, the Tot God Statue's pupils dilated.

Because the hundreds of Undead Arts he released all dissipated, without causing a ripple, as if they had never existed! Of course, there was also the Undead Giant Lion that had charged right up to its face again.

Chen Mo unleashed Undead Claw, another slap striking the Tot God statue's face, shattering half its face while also slamming it hard against the temple's pillar.

The immense force snapped this pillar cleanly in two, and it toppled to the ground.

"What kind of art is this!!"

Tot God stared in shock.

Afterwards he felt his consciousness blur.

He felt as if he were about to fall asleep again.

This challenger is absurdly strong! Before drifting off, he wanted to know what ability could erase his hundreds of Undead Arts.

"Cease War."

Chen Mo found the statue rather pitiful, so he kindly answered its question, then gave it another heavy claw strike.

Cease War is likewise a wide‑area rule‑type ability that can nullify all arts within its range.

Once the Transcendent Level is no longer suppressed, the highest level of art that Cease War can nullify becomes King's Peak Level!

It must be said, Chen Mo's abilities are extremely effective against the Tot God statue's abilities.

After its trump card, the Book of the Dead, failed, the Tot God statue completely lost its ability to resist.

Next came a new round of ravaging.

Boom! Finally, after another Undead Charge, the Tot God statue shattered completely, and the divine spirit blood will sealed within was once again driven into a state of slumber.

Moreover, this slumber is estimated to last a bit longer.

Chen Mo might even directly strike it with a shadow.

Just as before, at the moment the Tot God statue shattered, Chen Mo hesitated not at all, filling his King's Domain to the brim, hoping to gather the Underworld River Soil that had been used to shape this golden statue.

The Underworld River Soil used to shape the Tot God statue is of higher quality, allowing him to better comprehend the source of death!

However, the pull of the Tot God's divine blood is also extremely strong; this time Chen Mo harvested less than one‑eighth of the high‑quality Underworld River Soil. "With this much Underworld River Soil, I should be able to grasp the source of death, right?"

"Just to be safe, I should gather a bit more!"

Chen Mo thought, and at the same time he began to look forward to the eighth level's trial.

The opponents in the eighth and ninth level trials will be terrifyingly stronger!

His gaze turned to the golden statue standing to the left of the Anubis statue—over a hundred meters tall, with a lion's head and human body, a solar disc atop its head.

This is a female war goddess.

In ancient Egyptian myth, the sun god and war goddess Sekhmet—legend says her breath gathered wind and sand to form the desert.

The golden statue before us was forged from a few drops of her divine blood mixed with Underworld River Soil.

Its size is immense; Chen Mo, who is nearly twenty meters long, appears before it like a kitten or puppy.

Outside, watching the Undead Giant Lion defeat the Tot God, the Sphinx felt a myriad of emotions.

No one knows better than it how difficult the Golden Pyramid trial is.

Bear in mind that although the Tot God statue is merely mixed with a few drops of divine blood, its true combat power is hardly different from that of a Tot God of the same rank!

Since the Tot God statue, despite giving its all, could not defeat the Undead Giant Lion,

this means that, even at the same rank, a Tot God would not be a match for this Undead Giant Lion!?

What on earth is the origin of this Undead Giant Lion? The Sphinx recalled its appearance when it first laid eyes on the beast.

Its neck and body bore flowing white manes, and its golden pupils were filled with a mysterious aura.

This seems to be a mythical beast from the East—the Suānní.

As for Eastern mythical beasts, the Sphinx still has some knowledge of them.

He understands that those Eastern divine beasts are each absurdly strong, possessing various mysterious and unfathomable abilities, yet none are as absurd as this Suānní before him!

Rumble... Inside the Golden Pyramid, the trial continues.

The lion‑bodied war goddess Sekhmet awoke from her slumber, a solar spear clenched in her hand.

Of course, this is also an imitation.

Chen Mo also received its information at once—

【Statue of Sekhmet】

【Level: King's Peak】

【Physique: 8423】

【Agility: 6027】

【Strength: 7324】

【Soul: 1735】

【Abilities: Solar Storm, Solar Fist, Solar Spear,.】

【Overall Combat Power: 190234~212941】

【Forged with Underworld Soil as its base and the divine blood of Sekhmet as its soul, the statue possesses part of the goddess Sekhmet's power】

Compared to the previous Tot God statue, this golden statue's attribute panel is simply extravagant.

Its physique and strength even surpass his own! Its overall combat power is virtually on par with his!

And just like the Tot God statue, the Sekhmet statue also possesses a will born of divine blood.

"You're not bad!"

Upon seeing Chen Mo, this lion‑beast statue spoke in the Undead Tongue.

"As expected of the lion lineage."

"Compared to Anubis, I think you're better suited to undergo Sekhmet's trial."

Sekhmet is a deity whose martial prowess is not inferior to Anubis's—in fact, she may even be stronger.

In ancient times, Anubis exchanged some precious treasures with Sekhmet for a few drops of her blood, thereby crafting this golden statue of Sekhmet.

As a golden statue born from Sekhmet's blood, it naturally hopes that the undead giant lion before it will go to its true body.

"Where is the trial ground?"

Chen Mo asked.

"The Sand Sea World."

Sekhmet replied, her voice hoarse and rough.

"The Inner World? If I get the chance, I'll go."

Chen Mo nodded.

"Alright, no more talk, let's fight!"

"To celebrate your arrival here, I will unleash all my power!"

The golden statue's eyes flashed with fierce fighting spirit.

She inherited the warlike nature of the war god Sekhmet.

"Just to my liking."

Chen Mo said calmly.

His self-created Suanni battle technique is still imperfect, so he needs an opponent to continue honing it.

Whoosh! As soon as his words fell, the Sekhmet statue forcefully swung the imitation Sun Spear in its hand.

The Sun Spear burst with blinding light, wrapped in scorching heat, and shot toward Chen Mo at astonishing speed.

Chen Mo caught the spear's trajectory and dodged by a hair's breadth, but the flames it carried still made him feel as if his whole body were being burned.

This weapon has a striking effect against undead creatures, being highly effective against them!

After narrowly dodging, Chen Mo simultaneously released the Ward-off Evil Domain and swiftly approached the Lion Goddess Sekhmet statue, then swung the Death Spirit Claw.

The Sekhmet statue did not retreat or dodge, but instead threw a punch.

The Ward-off Evil Domain had hardly any effect on it! Boom! The Death Spirit Claw and Sun Punch struck the opponent simultaneously! The immense force blasted Chen Mo thousands of meters away, smashing a temple giant pillar.

However, thanks to the blessings of the Fat Otaku Happy Lion and the Gluttonous Lion, Chen Mo's physique had reached an incredibly formidable level, not much inferior to heavenly-disaster-level beings!

His entire skeleton was extraordinarily hard.

Such a mighty blow was merely a superficial injury to him.

On the other side, Sekhmet likewise suffered little harm.

The divine spirit blood endowed her with an astonishing physique and regenerative ability.

"Not bad!"

Sekhmet praised in a sentence, her eyes blazing with fighting spirit, and charged again at the undead giant lion.

At the same time, the imitation Sun Spear seemed to have a life of its own, pulling itself from the ground and once again turning into a stream of light that shot toward Chen Mo.

Chen Mo swiftly dodged, unaware that he had already appeared behind Sekhmet.

He swung his claw, releasing the Death Spirit Claw.

The Sekhmet statue reacted extremely quickly, backhanding a punch while turning away.

Chen Mo, however, suddenly accelerated, dodging the Sun Flame Rush Punch while launching the Death Spirit Charge.

The essence of the Suanni battle technique is speed and precision.

He exerted every ounce of his strength and spiritual power to the utmost! The Sekhmet statue couldn't dodge in time and was blasted away.

Several cracks appeared on her chest.

Yet the Sekhmet statue's eyes sparkled, and it became even more excited.
