Chapter 351: Chapter 194: Crimson, Moon, God (Part 3)
Lu Cang looked down through the eyes of the Demons in the sky. He saw cracks spiderwebbing across the land, splitting open into deep chasms. His single strike had left a fissure that stretched for thousands upon thousands of miles!
But the force of that punch did not reach Sel City.
It was just that the surrounding mountains exploded and crumbled, and the rivers churned, their courses altered.
BOOM!
Date of Death: 10 days.
Fist shadows blasted out in all four directions!
The sky full of Nation Destruction Level, King Level, and Lord Level Demons was completely obliterated!
Lu Cang winced slightly.
He had spent time accumulating these Demons, after all.
The colossal figure in the sky grew stronger the more it fought!
Towards the end, with just a flash of purple light, it could obliterate a Submerged Land Level Demon in a single blow!
Date of Death: 2 days.
With a thought, Lu Cang acted!
Another three Submerged Land Level Demons charged at the figure!
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
Three punches were thrown, and the three Submerged Land Level Demons shattered with them—
The scattered wisps of their remains still drifted between heaven and earth, forming a faint purple mist!
’I wonder what kind of prodigy he was before his skin was taken?’
Lu Cang’s gaze darkened, shifting from a sidelong glance...
...to a direct stare.
Date of Death: 0.
PTHH—
In midair, the being that had just seemed all-powerful, slaughtering Submerged Land Level Demons left and right, suddenly clutched at its chest.
"What—"
Lu Cang watched him with his profound, dark gaze.
The man seemed to have a sudden realization! His gaze instantly shot toward the thick layers of fog over Sel City in the distance!
Within the sea of thick, three-colored fog...
...a pair of profound, dark eyes could be faintly seen.
"Wha..."
THUMP—
THUMP—
His heart constricted continuously. The skin he wore seemed to have turned into a poison, seeping into his body!
When a Skin Taker is incompatible with a skin or fails to nourish it properly...
...they will suffer rejection from it.
When this rejection between skin and body occurs, it normally wouldn’t be fatal. An even slightly experienced Skin Taker could easily suppress this backlash with careful adjustments.
But...
"Why?"
The man, his face contorted into a knot, couldn’t understand!
He was already a Level 7 Skin Taker, and he had long since adapted to this skin! Not only did he use its abilities, but he even deliberately mimicked the previous living habits of the skin’s original owner.
One could even say this skin had become his own body!
Rejection had never occurred before!
Even if rejection did occur, he was absolutely confident... he could suppress it! Because he was a Level 7 Skin Taker who had followed the tenets of skin-taking for a hundred years!
"Wh-! Wh-!... Why!"
"Why!"
A roar of indignant will echoed between heaven and earth!
SWISH!
The skin turned inside out!
Like a leather ball continuously contracting inward, it kept folding and shrinking!
In the end, it forcefully folded all the blood, flesh, and bone into a single tiny point.
THWAP—
And just like that, the skin that had seemed so peerlessly powerful floated down and fell to the ground.
Dead.
Lu Cang used the eyes and Perception of his seventy-six remaining Submerged Land Level Demons to look in every direction.
The attack Range of Submerged Land Level Demons was actually far greater than their Perception.
This was due to the characteristics of this type of Demon.
Their Talents were more geared toward creating an extremely terrifying disaster, one that would spread like a tide and affect the entire continent.
It seemed there was no one else.
’If this is all there is... then it’s manageable.’
Lu Cang arrived at the Church.
He touched a dead member of the clergy lying on the ground.
"He was a believer of this Church himself..."
"Was he an undercover agent?"
Lu Cang was generally aware that Churches might plant spies in each other’s ranks.
Planting one’s own undercover agents in another Church.
For example, the Life Church...
...had undercover agents within the Death Church.
And the Death Church had previously planted agents in the Dark Church.
He had gradually learned of these things after becoming the Sect Leader.
However...
Lu Cang cautiously touched the Divine Officer on the ground whose soul had been extracted.
He had a rough idea of how they had infiltrated.
In fact, not everyone needed to be an undercover agent.
As long as the upper echelons of the Church here were their agents, that would be enough.
After that, it would be simple to insert new members.
As for the garrison forces in other cities...
...it was the same method of Penetration, from the top down.
’But... to completely infiltrate an entire nation.’
’They really spared no expense.’
The world had become very quiet.
’I think I’ve killed them all.’
’Five Level 7 powerhouses...’
’That should have been more than enough.’
’But why do I still feel that something is strange?’
There were no enemies left.
Lu Cang raised his hand and collected the souls from all the corpses his Perception could reach.
It would be quite difficult for a soulless corpse to reanimate.
’After all, even if you want to come back to life, you need a soul to control the body, right?’
’Whatever.’
’Perhaps I should first figure out how to rescue Kumironi and the others?’
SWISH!
Sixteen Storage Bags appeared before Lu Cang.
Previously, his mind had been on high alert, constantly watching the purple-eyed youth in the sky, afraid the boy would attack the moment he let his guard down.
Then, after killing all the enemies, he had scanned for any other ambushes to eliminate potential threats.
So he hadn’t checked the Storage Bags right away.
It was time to take a look.
His Perception probed the Storage Bags and found more Storage Bags inside.
It was a nested set of Storage Bags.
Lu Cang’s Perception searched everywhere.
A few blood-colored pieces of equipment gradually materialized in his hand.
"Flawless Skinning Blade."
"Bone-Piercing Awl."
"Star Spirit Sunken Wood? Isn’t this the other half of the so-called ’Twin Woods,’ along with my Void Spirit Star Wood?"
"I can’t believe I actually found it here."
"No, wait. I’m supposed to be looking for clues."
’How did this turn into me taking stock of my loot?’
Lu Cang’s Perception immediately moved away from these pieces of equipment and treasures, continuing to search for meaningful items within the Storage Bag.
These old Level 7 codgers had too much stuff stashed away.
He couldn’t seem to finish going through it all in a short time.
’If someone else killed me and looted the Storage Bag on my body, they’d probably be stuck sorting through it for a long time too.’
While Lu Cang searched the Storage Bag...
...he also devoted some of his attention to re-examining Sel City.
The purple-eyed youth from before...
...had deliberately avoided Sel City with his attacks, as if he didn’t want to destroy something.
He looked up and around again.
The thick blood-mist hadn’t dissipated. The entire vast sky was still a heavy, sanguine red. Even the sun was the color of flayed, bloody flesh.
’Just now, I felt like I had forgotten something crucial...’
’Now that I think about it...’
’This celestial phenomenon? What’s going on with it?’
The celestial phenomenon.
The Moon.
Changes in celestial phenomena are influenced by the Moon...
The Moon, a Divine Spirit.
’Does a Level 7 Reincarnator have the Authority to change celestial phenomena?’
’No, even a Level 8 Reincarnator can’t do that.’
Only a god possesses such immense power.
Lu Cang’s heart suddenly lurched in shock!
His pupils contracted instantly!
At the same time, his Final Sense erupted with an unprecedentedly terrifying premonition!
He activated Death Exchange Technique, instantly swapping places with a corpse!
He followed up with Source·Shift·the Dipper, reappearing in another corner of the city!
Then, using Source Body·Gap Flash, he burst forward at maximum speed, teleporting three hundred kilometers into the sky in an instant!
But a laugh like the chiming of silver bells echoed between heaven and earth.
"Hee hee~"
"This is really the first time I’ve seen such power."
"You’re clearly just a little Level 4 guy."
"And yet you were able to kill my Level 7 fingers~"
"But the ten fingers are connected to the heart. Isn’t this equivalent to skinning and deboning your big sister?~"
A soft breeze whispered past his ear...
Lu Cang whipped his head around, but saw nothing!
But his Perception suddenly felt a jolt!
He discovered that the Submerged Land Level Demons under his control were beginning to shed their own skins. Their flesh and bones also began to dissolve, layer by layer!
It was like peeling an onion, stripping away layer after layer of its skin.
Even the mists began to peel away, revealing the softest, most vulnerable Core within.
A woman with a slender waist twisted her enchanting figure...
...as she walked through Sel City.
Lu Cang was far from her, but every one of her footsteps was perfectly clear.
"Originally, all I wanted was Kumironi."
"But I didn’t expect to meet such a promising child here."
"What a pleasant surprise."
The woman looked up at the sky, her gaze meeting Lu Cang’s from afar, through the heavy fog.
Date of Death: 104 years, 9 months, 22 days...
"Don’t worry, your big sister won’t kill you so easily..."
"You haven’t finished growing yet. If I kill you now, I won’t be able to get the best skin."
SWISH!
In an instant, Lu Cang saw her appear right in front of him, one hand cupping her flushed face.
She pointed a fingertip at him, and Lu Cang’s layers of Shields peeled away in an instant.
