Chapter 124: Lu Xueqi Takes Action
This left Black Impermanence extremely shocked. What was going on? How could such a drastic anomaly occur beneath the Dead Spirit Abyss?
After Black Impermanence’s soul-hooking chain was forced back by the numerous aberrant spirits, those spirits could not help but grow excited, a trace of exhilaration flashing in their eyes.
Previously, after this so-called underworld official appeared, these aberrant spirits had been filled with worry and fear.
But upon seeing that their attacks were actually able to repel the opponent—and even gain the upper hand—they were instantly overjoyed.
Immediately afterward, their eyes turned icy cold. Without prior agreement, they once again unleashed wave after wave of terrifying attacks, surging toward Black Impermanence.
At this moment, Black Impermanence was utterly horrified in his heart: How could this be? How could this be?
Yet as he faced the unending attacks from the many aberrant spirits, he knew this was no time to ponder such matters. He had to find a way to deal with them—otherwise, with his current strength, he likely would not be able to withstand the assaults of these mutated specters.
He hurriedly commanded, “System, enhance the Black Impermanence Experience Card’s strength. Raise it to the Supreme Purity Realm.”
As soon as his order fell, a sound rang out in his mind from the system:
“Ding. Temporarily raising the host’s strength to the Supreme Purity Realm requires 20,000 Shock Points. Does the host wish to pay?”
Black Impermanence glanced at the 40,000 Shock Points displayed on his system panel. Though he felt a slight pang of pain, he still issued the command without hesitation: “Agree.”
The instant he agreed, the aura around Black Impermanence swelled explosively. In the blink of an eye, it broke through the barrier of the Upper Purity Realm and reached the Supreme Purity Realm.
With this breakthrough, the aura surrounding his body became even more terrifying.
Facing the attacks surging toward him, there was no longer any fear in his eyes—only disdain.
Immediately afterward, the soul-hooking chains before him swung ceaselessly, transforming into countless afterimages that collided head-on with those attacks.
Booming thunderous sounds rang out unceasingly as those attacks were directly whipped apart by the afterimages.
Seeing this, Black Impermanence nodded in satisfaction. He then looked down at the aberrant spirits below, sneered coldly, and said, “Mere ants daring to resist—seeking death!”
Without any further hesitation, Black Impermanence once more urged the surging energy within his body.
In an instant, his soul-hooking chains shot out, writhing like spiritual serpents as they attacked Scarlet Flame King and the others.
Scarlet Flame King and the rest turned pale at the sight.
They had never expected the person before them to possess such terrifying strength.
Just moments ago, they had clearly forced him back, yet now he erupted with even more dreadful power.
They guessed that this underworld figure had not used his full strength earlier.
After exchanging glances, the six Aberrant Spirit Kings simultaneously let out shrill screeches.
In the blink of an eye, numerous weaker aberrant spirits seemed to receive an order and instantly swarmed toward the six Aberrant Spirit Kings.
Then, under Black Impermanence’s shocked gaze above, those surrounding aberrant spirits self-detonated in an instant, transforming into streams of pitch-black energy that poured into the mouths of the six Aberrant Spirit Kings.
As this energy surged in, their strength rapidly increased.
In merely a moment, their power directly rose by several levels, reaching the peak of the Upper Purity Realm.
Such strength was already extremely terrifying as they charged straight toward the incoming soul-hooking chains.
The other aberrant spirit generals who possessed Upper Purity Realm cultivation also showed no hesitation, erupting with terrifying might as waves of attacks rushed toward Black Impermanence.
Black Impermanence had not expected matters to develop in this direction.
He had only just finished raising his strength, yet these beings immediately followed by increasing theirs as well, leaving him utterly shocked.
Nevertheless, the gap of an entire major realm was still enormous. Thus, facing the six Aberrant Spirit Kings and more than twenty aberrant spirit generals this time, he still had some confidence.
His chains swung incessantly, carving streaks of chain marks across the sky as they continuously intercepted the attacks launched by the six Aberrant Spirit Kings and the many aberrant spirit generals.
Booming sounds echoed without end, and for a time, the two sides were locked in a stalemate.
Although this Black Impermanence was immensely powerful and naturally suppressed these aberrant spirits in terms of power level,
their sheer numbers meant that the might they truly unleashed actually exceeded his.
If not for that inherent suppression, Black Impermanence would have long since been defeated.
This made him extremely anxious. The experience card he was using had a time limit.
If he could not quickly deal with these aberrant spirits, then in the end, the one to be defeated would surely be him.
Moreover, his purpose in coming out this time had originally been merely to show off and intimidate everyone. But in this situation, how could he still intimidate anyone?
His current performance was far too wretched, utterly lacking any deterrent power.
Seeing this, Black Impermanence could not help but issue another command to the system: “System, continue enhancing my strength.”
As his words fell, another mechanical voice sounded in his mind:
“Ding! The host currently has 20,000 Shock Points remaining. If all are used to enhance strength, the host’s cultivation can be raised to the Second Level of the Supreme Purity Realm. Does the host wish to proceed?”
Black Impermanence immediately commanded, “Enhance.”
In an instant, 20,000 Shock Points vanished, and his strength surged once more, directly breaking through to the Second Level of the Supreme Purity Realm.
As his power skyrocketed, he immediately relaxed in the face of the surrounding attacks, fighting with ease and even occasionally seizing openings to casually kill one or two weaker aberrant spirits.
Seeing this, the six Aberrant Spirit Kings below grew anxious and hurriedly shouted, “Everyone, if you’re not acting now, what are you waiting for?”
This shout caused Black Impermanence to be slightly surprised. Could these aberrant spirits have reinforcements?
As he pondered this, a sudden sound of air being torn apart rang out behind him.
Black Impermanence was greatly startled and hastily turned around, only to see wave after wave of terrifying magical treasure attacks rushing toward him.
His expression changed drastically as he cried out, “What are you doing? Are you trying to help these aberrant spirits?”
But Qi Hao and the others had already resolved to eradicate this so-called Black Impermanence. They turned a deaf ear to his shouts and instead increased their spiritual energy output.
The might of their magical treasures grew even more formidable, transforming into streams of light that assaulted Black Impermanence.
Black Impermanence was shocked at heart, yet he did not feel overly afraid.
With his current overwhelmingly powerful strength, even with the combined attacks of righteous disciples and Demonic Sect members, he still had the means to respond.
His soul-hooking chain spun even faster, while streams of pitch-black energy instantly formed a protective barrier around him.
Qi Hao and the others’ attacks slammed thunderously against the chains, deafening explosions erupting throughout the void.
However, the gap in strength between the two sides was immense. Even with everyone joining in, they merely reached a stalemate.
Seeing this, Lu Xueqi knew it was time for her to act.
Her figure flickered like an illusion as she vanished from her original spot. When she reappeared, she was already behind Black Impermanence, and she suddenly extended a finger.
In an instant, a streak of golden lightning condensed into a thunder spear, stabbing straight toward Black Impermanence.
Sensing this supremely rigid and supremely yang lightning power, Black Impermanence’s expression changed drastically as he hurriedly used his soul-hooking chain to block it.
A thunderous boom rang out as the soul-hooking chain collided with the lightning spear. Golden light erupted as terrifying lightning power spread along the chain, sizzling violently as it blasted against it.
Seeing this, the other aberrant spirits and Qi Hao and the rest all lit up with excitement.
Taking advantage of the stalemate between the soul-hooking chain and the golden lightning, everyone unleashed wave after wave of terrifying attacks, smashing them against the barrier before Black Impermanence.
Cracking sounds rang out repeatedly. Under the combined assaults of the aberrant spirits and Qi Hao and the others, the barrier before Black Impermanence shattered instantly. Those dreadful attacks sent him flying, smashing him into the towering mountain wall in the distance.
Black Impermanence suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood, his aura weakening accordingly.
His figure then flashed as he reappeared in midair. With a gloomy expression, he questioned Lu Xueqi and the others:
“You actually dare to obstruct the underworld in handling its affairs. Aren’t you afraid of retaliation from my underworld?”
