Chapter 1113 - The Death God King Arrives

Han Wu once again opened his jaws and fired a Chaos Dragon Breath, formed from twenty-seven unique elements, at the incoming Chaos hand.

This time, they didn’t cancel each other out. The hand overpowered the breath, tore straight through it, and continued reaching for Han Wu at blistering speeds.

Even in his Defiant Dragon Emperor form, Han Wu couldn’t evade it. It caught him in a crushing grip. His multicolored jade scales groaned under the pressure.

He held on, trying to use the time the scales bought him to free himself, but the hand only squeezed tighter. The five Netherworld Substitutes on his body shattered one after another as Han Wu suffocated.

He even tried activating his trump cards, Minute Hand with Omniversal, but it didn’t work. Di Zangtian was standing outside Minute Hand’s effective range and could simply control the frozen hand remotely. There was no escape or way out.

“Kid, you’re nothing but a worm. It’s your fate to be crushed in my fist!” Di Zangtian spat viciously.

Killing Han Wu was his sole objective in this divine war. However, seeing as Han Wu was connected to the Great Dragon race, Di Zangtian would just have to expand his scope and kill every other participant in the divine war as well. That way, even if the Great Dragon race came knocking, there would be no way to prove for sure that Di Zangtian was involved. The whole thing would be untraceable.

With that in mind, Di Zangtian increased his output. The hand squeezed harder. Han Wu’s nine pairs of dragon eyes rolled back as he succumbed.

It didn’t matter that his Defiant Dragon Emperor form matched Di Zangtian’s Macrocosm rank. There was no way he could withstand an opponent with their strength temporarily doubled.

As Han Wu’s consciousness was starting to fade, a piercing voice exploded beside his ear. “Extinguish!”

The hand clamping Han Wu dissipated with a poof.

Han Wu could breathe again. The Death God King had used his Death Jurisdiction to fuel a particularly powerful Proclamation of Death that killed the hand.

“Death, you ruined everything!” Di Zangtian snarled. He had been so close to finishing Han Wu off when the Death God King ?arrived.

The Death God King shot Di Zangtian an icy glare. “I’ve warned you. Now, you can deal with the consequences.”

His Four Dharma Manifestations materialized behind him, amplifying his aura to a terrifying degree. Each Manifestation fused with its own Jurisdiction’s comprehension and transformed into its final form, a Terminal Turret.

The Manifestations’ powers blanketed the surrounding area, filling the space with the essence of Desolation, Decay, Void, and Erase. Even someone as powerful as Di Zangtian felt the crushing suppression. The Death God King, on the other hand, drew tremendous strength from this zone.

Han Wu watched in awe. He had also mastered Dharma Manifestation, with every one of his Jurisdictions except Gigantification able to manifest as an independent Manifestation in combat. The difference was that he hadn’t reached the Terminal Turret stage with all of them yet.

With the number of Jurisdictions I have, the pressure I could create when they’re all in Terminal Turret form would easily dwarf the Death God King’s, Han Wu thought, using his own Death Aspect to acclimate to the suffocating atmosphere of the lifeless zone. Thanks to that Aspect, he too received a slight boost.

Di Zangtian assessed the situation and cast Elemental Rejection around the paralyzed Sol, sealing him in a shell. He couldn’t risk a stray shockwave killing Sol. That would prematurely end the divine war and ruin everything.

With that done, Di Zangtian quickly drained the fourteen stolen elemental Jurisdictions. An even more massive surge of Chaos Energy formed, condensing into a towering giant of Chaos Energy in his exact likeness.

Di Zangtian merged into the giant and ran straight at the four Terminal Turrets suppressing him.

Seizing the moment, the Death God King locked on to Di Zangtian’s position and condensed his Death Jurisdiction to be many times stronger than before.

He then used the Proclamation of Death again. “Perish!”

Terrifying Death Energy slammed into Di Zangtian as if the distance between them was nonexistent. Di Zangtian endured it with his Chaos Energy. It didn’t matter that the Death Jurisdiction surpassed most elemental Jurisdictions. Until his Chaos Energy was fully depleted, it couldn’t touch him.

Proclamation of Death consumed enormous amounts of energy, and that supercharged blast completely exhausted the Death God King. It would be a while before he could fire another shot of similar magnitude.

“You can’t kill me. All that awaits you is death!” Di Zangtian screamed, ramming into the Desolation Terminal Turret. In just two blows, the Desolation Terminal Turret was on the verge of collapse.

The Death God King was preparing to engage Di Zangtian in close combat when Han Wu tossed him a pair of war scythes—the Reaper’s Scythes, obtained through Sacrifice after Han Wu killed the Reaper Mantis with Deathblow. They were bona fide Microcosm weapons.

There was a massive gap between the Microcosm Reaper’s Scythes and the Death God King’s Macrocosm power, but a weapon of matching attribute was far better than bare fists. The Death God King caught the Reaper’s Scythes and channeled his remaining Death Jurisdiction into them.

The scythes seemed to come alive, radiating pressure that spiked to peak Microcosm levels. His power was the perfect match for it.

Armed with the Reaper’s Scythes, the Death God King’s close-combat ability jumped by at least twenty percent. He launched himself at Di Zangtian. The scythes carved arcs of Death Energy through the air that slashed across the Chaos Energy giant and gouged numerous gashes in it.

Han Wu wasn’t standing idly by either, having summoned all of his Microcosms so they orbited him like ribbons that fed him energy. Twenty-seven elements converged on his eyes, dragon horns, and breath.

This was him quietly preparing his own form of Chaos Energy. After all, he had mastered it too, having obtained it from Sacrifice after killing Di Hong of the Chaos Clan.

Let’s see whose Chaos Energy is stronger: my twenty-seven elements from the Great Dragons, or Di Zangtian’s.

The gathered energy soon reached the limit of what Han Wu’s body could handle, and without hesitation, he unleashed a beam of Chaos Energy at Di Zangtian’s giant.

The horrifying force nearly shattered the space it traveled through as it blazed toward Di Zangtian. Di Zangtian noticed it too late to dodge, too preoccupied with his shock at Han Wu’s ability to wield the Chaos Clan’s signature technique.

Han Wu’s blast struck Di Zangtian’s Chaos Energy giant. The impact was explosive, with the clash devouring more than half of the giant. Di Zangtian could barely hold the remaining parts together.

The Death God King didn’t let the opening slip. He swung the Reaper’s Scythes down, infusing them with a standard Proclamation of Death.

“Die!”

Death Energy ravaged Di Zangtian’s body and ate away at his Life Energy. His flesh withered at a terrifying rate. At the brink of death, Di Zangtian could only grit his teeth and play another trump card.

A towering World Tree with multicolored leaves appeared behind him. Its immense Life Energy and various elemental energies surged into Di Zangtian, restoring him from his shriveled state and filling him with vigor.
