Chapter 580: God Is Dead (2/10, extra chapter for 'Ruichi Tianxia')

"System Notice: Congratulations to player 【Yese Liming】 for awakening 【Spirit Root】!"

"System Notice: Congratulations to player 【Yese Liming】 for awakening the bizarre talent 【Static World】!"

Spirit Root?!

Having lost his reason, Fang Yue suddenly came back to his senses.

Wasn't that the legendary…

Fang Yue's heart jolted hard.

At the same time, a surge of intense emotion flared in his chest.

So I really do have a Spirit Root! So the feeling from before wasn't an illusion.

I am a person with a Spirit Root!

Lord Han… Lord Han, if only you were still alive!

Coming back to his senses, Fang Yue's killing intent grew even stronger!

【Spirit Root?!】

【The legend is actually true—there really is someone with a Spirit Root!】

【If that's the case…】

【Fang Yue, use my power to strengthen your bizarre power!】

【But if I strengthen it like this, I'll be overloading again…】

【Never mind that, Fang Yue, listen carefully. Facing a Rain-class, my power alone isn't enough. We need to truly join forces this time!】

The parchment's information flowed into his mind.

Fang Yue immediately understood!

"Amplify!"

Although he had already learned the method from the parchment.

Actually speaking those two words seemed to drain every last bit of Fang Yue's energy.

The lifespan originally being consumed by the dan poison immediately plummeted another large chunk, dropping into the danger zone!

One Ancient Script represents one measure of power.

Two Ancient Scripts represent even greater power!

The two Ancient Scripts 'Amplify,' as Fang Yue's voice fell, exploded with a boom.

The next instant, the violent bizarre power caused dense, almost viscous, massive black qi to overflow from Fang Yue's entire body!

Within the swirling black qi…

Sss—

A single black wing abruptly and violently unfurled from behind Fang Yue!

The massive single black wing, pitch-black all over, every black feather composed of black qi, radiated an ominous aura!

And under the blessing of the massive single black wing, his speed suddenly exploded to another level—fast to the extreme!

BOOM!!

"Static World!"

"System Notice: Player 【Yese Liming】 used 【Static World】, Comprehension decreased by 1 point."

At the same moment Fang Yue unleashed his bizarre ability.

The thunder in the dark clouds spread like slow-motion lightning filaments.

Within the heavy rain, the raindrops too were like time in slow motion, gradually ceasing to flow.

Only Bai Xiaoya in midair seemed to encounter tremendous resistance, but then…

【Still!】

"Still!"

Words became power!

Under the double shackles, Bai Xiaoya immediately fell into absolute stillness, just like the surrounding raindrops.

In this frozen time, the only one moving freely was the black shadow—shrouded entirely in black qi, condensing a long black blade, shooting skyward like an arrow released from its bowstring!

"How can I not move?! Earlier 'Burst' was the same, 'Still' is the same—what exactly did he use?!"

Normally speaking, as a Rain-class bizarre, only Rain-class methods could deal with her.

But now… aside from 【Static World】 merely hindering himself, all of Fang Yue's other Word Spirit abilities worked with a hundred percent effect!

It felt exactly like she was truly battling a Rain-class powerhouse!

Bai Xiaoya's heart churned with shock and fury.

She struggled desperately, clearly feeling that she could almost break free from the double shackles right in front of her!

But it was as if the other side also knew this was their only chance, their only shot, and rushed to her face at extreme speed.

PSSSH!!!

Without any pause.

All words became action!

The black long blade directly pierced through Bai Xiaoya's chest!

That wound was conspicuously exactly where Lord Han had left the wound before.

"Of all places, that wound?!"

Her pupils contracted, Bai Xiaoya let out a shrill scream, massive damage numbers popping up above her head.

The scene seemed to freeze at this moment.

And then… it flowed!

Raindrops came pouring down in a torrential downpour.

Thunder rumbled, the flow quickly completed, and the light dimmed.

The power of the frozen world vanished.

Everything resumed its flow.

But Bai Xiaoya's fatal wound had already been left behind.

【Hurry! I... I can't hold on anymore...】

No need to say more—Fang Yue drew his blade and slashed down again, and Bai Xiaoya's body was sent tumbling down by the single cut.

When she hit the ground, his heart immediately leaped with joy.

Because her only breach at this moment was the wound left by Lord Han.

And Fang Yue's power didn't seem to have reached that level—slashing anywhere else wouldn't leave a wound, nowhere near fatal!

But when Fang Yue also landed and precisely slashed the wound left by Lord Han again, her expression instantly changed.

Fang Yue grinned.

"You think I'm stupid? Can't read the damage numbers? Same slash—one does seven or eight digits of damage, the other does single digits. How do you think I should cut?"

"Fang Yue, wait! Listen to me..."

Squelch!!

Fang Yue's blade struck the wound directly, burst out over a hundred thousand damage, and cut off Bai Xiaoya's words.

Lord Han was dead, You Sisi's fate unknown, the parchment overdrawn on power, and he himself was about to suffer backlash. According to the parchment, his only chance of survival now was to kill Bai Xiaoya and push his realm one step further! Only then would he have a better chance of withstanding the backlash of the real world's 【Ghost-Object Transformation】.

And all of this was because of Bai Xiaoya!

She no longer had any right to be forgiven by anyone!

Under Night Rain, Fang Yue did not pause—slash after slash, each one more vicious than the last, all striking Bai Xiaoya's only wound.

When the final slash fell, Bai Xiaoya finally fell completely silent, her pleas stopping.

It's over... finally over...

Lord Han, I've avenged you!

Fang Yue clenched his fist, his heart a tangle of emotions.

【Going to sleep now...】

【Don't you die on me, Fang Yue. You absolutely have to withstand my backlash!】
