Chapter 1039 - 983: The Dead Return
At this moment, the Bone Staff was golden all over, as if cast from gold, exuding a holy aura, completely different from the demonic essence it had before.
Just then, the time of Disarm finally ended, and the Bone Staff automatically left his hand!
Previously, after the Bone Staff was confiscated by Huang Yi, it was also made invisible. Now, as it left Huang Yi’s palm, it finally appeared from the air, drawing a dazzling golden light, and returned to the hand of the Dark Priest.
"Sizzle~" At that moment, the Dark Priest’s palm suddenly made a sound similar to roasting meat and emitted a burst of white smoke!
He was burned by the holy aura!
The current Bone Staff is divine equipment, and not only can the Dark Priest not use it, but even touching it would cause him harm!
The Dark Priest’s palm trembled slightly, and he instinctively threw the Bone Staff far away.
He looked at his scalded palm in front of him, his face twisted immediately, and he cried out in pain and agony, "Damn it! What did you do to my Bone Staff?"
"Boom~" What responded to him was a Heavy Judgment from Huang Yi!
Even though nothing had appeared in the air, the Dark Priest was blasted away, sliding hundreds of meters before landing on the ground, leaving a long mark in the dirt, eventually coming to a halt.
At this time, Huang Yi still had the last few seconds of Absolute Invisibility, and he quickly rushed up to attack the Dark Priest frantically!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The Dark Priest continuously dodged, but he couldn’t escape Huang Yi’s fierce onslaught, and his body was knocked back time and again.
Huang Yi was already extremely powerful, on par with experts who had achieved "One Step to Heaven." And after the Dark Priest lost the Bone Staff, his strength was greatly reduced, and he was no longer a match for him!
Finally, Huang Yi’s Absolute Invisibility time ended, and he reappeared in the air.
Without stopping, he continued to chase after the Dark Priest, the Wrath of the Godslayer repeatedly slashing at the Dark Priest’s hunched body.
This time, the Dark Priest was once again knocked back onto the distant ground by Huang Yi, plowing a long trench. He spat out a mouthful of blood, squatted down, cast a venomous glance at Huang Yi, and suddenly smashed his fist into the ground below!
"Boom~" The ground immediately cracked open, with fissures spreading in all directions like a spider’s web, quickly covering the entire valley.
These fissures vaguely formed a mystic, gigantic formation diagram, with a black aura seeping from beneath each crack.
"Even without the Bone Staff, I can still kill you!" The Dark Priest glared at Huang Yi, a cruel smile curling at the corner of his mouth, as black blood surged from his body, pouring into the earth through his fist.
Meanwhile, his life aura was rapidly depleting with this continuous infusion! His Health Points were plummeting!
The Dark Priest seemed to be using his own life to complete this mysterious ritual!
Soon, he became extremely weak, his body swaying slightly, his gaze dim, trembling as he summoned, "Oh great Dead ones! I sacrifice my life and blood, beseech you to return once more! Let your figures veil the sky, let your shadows enshroud the earth!"
"Boom!" As his words fell, the ground shook and the mountains quaked!
Something beneath the earth seemed to be tremoring violently, and the soil beside each crack kept bulging upward, as if something was about to break through!
"Puff!" Suddenly, a giant pale skeleton hand burrowed out from the soil beneath a crack, bracing the ground, and pulled its body out from beneath the earth!
The entire valley was filled with such sights, with skeleton hands continuously breaking through the soil from each crack, crawling out skeletons.
These cracks had virtually become Hell’s Gates, connecting to the world of the Dead, allowing endless skeletons to emerge from the earth.
These skeletons were not the usual low-grade ones; their bones were as crystalline as emerald white jade, noble and elegant.
They were empty-handed, without weapons, but they exuded an overwhelming aura! It seemed they were renowned peerless experts in life, now summoned from endless years of rest underground by the Dark Priest.
The dense mass of skeletons began to sway and surround Huang Yi, the constant creaking sound of bones making one’s scalp tingle.
"Wings of Death!" Huang Yi immediately unfurled the burning Wings of the Demon God behind him, his body soaring into the sky, as his wings shot out burning Windfire Blades, attacking the valley below!
In an instant, the valley below transformed into a sea of fire, with flames even leaping up to the mountainsides, causing the rocks to crack open.
The swarm of skeletons was all ablaze, engulfed in the sea of fire.
Wings of Death is a powerful area-of-effect weapon, attacking thousands upon thousands of enemies with a single flap!
This skill consumes 300 Rage Value each time, but there were so many monsters below that after attacking them, Huang Yi instantly refilled his rage, allowing the flames of Wings of Death to continue burning, until the enemies were reduced to ashes.
However, these skeletons did not burn to death immediately; they easily withstood the fire’s damage. They steadily stepped into the air, continuing to encircle Huang Yi in the sky, as if nothing could stop them.
At this point, Huang Yi finally realized the level information of these skeletons! His heart went cold!
These dense skeletons are actually all high-level Heavenly Realm experts over level 250!
Generally speaking, a Heavenly Domain expert is already extremely rare, and those above level 250 are even more scarce, usually only seen in places like the Demon Clan or the Central Continent.
Last time in the ruins of Thornbush City, Huang Yi coincidentally encountered a high-level Heavenly Realm Pain Acolyte and only after a fierce battle did he manage to kill it.
And now, there unexpectedly appears an entire army of such high-level Heavenly Realm beings! At least tens of thousands of them!
Tens of thousands of high-level Heavenly Realm experts!
The aura they emit alone is enough to crush a person to death!
Although Huang Yi has the talent of Legal Protection, which limits him to receiving the highest damage up to 10 times per second, he still can’t withstand the damage from even 10 high-level Heavenly Realm experts!
These are not those clumsy and stupid small monsters in the Tower of Pantheons but incredibly powerful wild monsters, each with the strength of a BOSS!
"God of Slaughter, you will forever regret today’s offense!" At this moment, the voice of the Dark Priest came from the sea of fire below, filled with the pleasure of revenge, "This strike requires me to sacrifice a large amount of Essence of Life to unleash; I will be gravely injured for a long time because of it, but your fate is death!"
At this time, the nearest group of skeletons had almost reached in front of Huang Yi, about to engulf him.
"Do you think that with these high-level Heavenly Realm dead, you can kill me?" Huang Yi said calmly, standing motionless in the air without the slightest intention to dodge.
The next moment, he exhausted all his Rage Value to unleash a level 270 divine-level class skill—
"Cleanse the Royals!"
[Cleanse the Royals]: Can only be used when Rage is at full value. Consumes all Rage Value to make all enemies lower than your level unable to approach within 1000 meters. Enemies within this range will be bounced 1000 meters away, with indefinite duration.
At that moment, an irresistible energy surged outward from Huang Yi, impacting all directions!
Thousands of skeletons were instantly knocked away by this force, all retreating beyond a kilometer!
With Huang Yi as the center point, a radius of 1000 meters formed an ultra-strong repulsive energy field!
All enemies lower than Huang Yi’s level were repelled to the periphery of this energy field, unable to approach a step!
Those tens of thousands of high-level Heavenly Realm skeletons could only claw the air outside the kilometer range, as if an invisible wall of air blocked them.
With just one move, Huang Yi directly blocked thousands of powerful high-level Heavenly Realm experts!
Instant reversal!
This is Cleanse the Royals, the last skill of Huang Yi’s divine class [Eternal Tyrant]!
The term "Cleanse the Royals" has existed since ancient times, meaning to remove bad people around the king, perfectly reflecting the characteristics of the tyrant divine class.
At this moment, within a kilometer radius, it became completely clean.
In the high sky, only Huang Yi’s kingly figure remained, with the Wings of the Demonic God covering the sky, casting a massive shadow.
On the ground, only the solitary figure of the Dark Priest remained, hunched over, falling to the ground on one knee, staring blankly at Huang Yi.
"Swoosh!" Huang Yi once again raised the Wrath of the Godslayer, diving down from the high sky!
This time, his figure was filled with unwavering conviction, and the Wrath of the Godslayer traced a trajectory towards victory!
The Dark Priest was so weak he couldn’t stand up, and facing Huang Yi’s assault had no power to dodge!
"Boom boom boom!" The Dark Priest completely turned into a human sandbag, shrouded by the phantom in the Wrath of the Godslayer.
"Blood Escape!" The Dark Priest finally revealed a look of pure terror of death, struggling to spit out a mouthful of fresh blood!
With this mouthful of blood, his life aura suddenly became weaker, and his Health Points finally dropped below 30%!
This mouthful of blood quickly decomposed into tiny Blood Beads, which automatically formed a formation diagram in the air, firmly surrounding him, creating a faint Protective Barrier.
At the same time, a strong Power of Teleportation emerged from the blood formation, as if wanting to teleport him away!
"God of Slaughter, we will fight again next time. For today, I shall first Blood Escape!" The Dark Priest forced himself to say, his expression completely relaxed, as if believing that the blood escape formation would safely allow his teleportation.
Huang Yi, seeing the Dark Priest’s Health Points, simply stopped his attack, shook his head slightly: "You are seeking your own death!"
