Chapter 378: Chapter 199: Ripping the Corpse Demon Apart! The Calamity Star’s Defenses Are Shattered

「Within the town.」

Carrying Tie Kui’s head in one hand, Chen Xuan followed its directions as he headed into the distance.

Suddenly!

He sensed something and snapped his head up.

’Such intense malice!’

’It’s coming for me!’

’No, that’s not right!’

’Something is trying to escape!’

"Where do you think you’re going?"

Chen Xuan barked, his figure blurring as he shot off in pursuit, Tie Kui’s head still in hand.

Startled once more, the monk and the Daoist behind him scrambled to keep up.

’This Chen Xuan really is something else!’

’He can sense that imperceptible ripple?’

’From that ripple, they could deduce that the Drought Demon’s divine form had fully manifested. Having shed its mortal, corpse-like shell, its future was now boundless.’

BOOM!

At that very moment, the world trembled as a malevolent aura billowed forth.

The ground ahead exploded.

An endless torrent of chaotic, morbid energy erupted from beneath the ground. It surged toward the sky like a strange, inky black tide.

The brutal, malevolent aura reeked of rot and filth. It blotted out the sky, threatening to engulf the entire town.

"ROAR!!"

A hideous, towering Corpse Demon, a full five or six meters tall, burst from the depths of the earth. Its eyes glowed a ghastly green, like sinister ghost-fire.

It swung a massive hand, imbued with a bleak and sinister power, bringing it down hard on Chen Xuan.

It fell like a cold, heavy slab.

"Fuck off!"

Chen Xuan’s voice was ice-cold as he threw a punch. The Corpse Demon had barely emerged when his terrifying, blazing fist had already crashed into its face.

With a deafening BANG, its face exploded.

Its massive five-to-six-meter frame was sent flying violently backward.

Half its face was obliterated, revealing ghastly white bone, reeking ichor, viscous yellow fluid, and a network of crimson veins. It was an utterly disgusting sight.

Su Jianxue, Yan Jinghan, and the others behind him were all aghast.

’Wait, what the hell is this thing?’

’And you’re telling us this thing is part of a mission we can handle?’

’We thought it was just some simple Evil Cult acting up...’

’But how did something like *this* suddenly show up?’

’This damn thing could smash us into a pulp with a single swipe!’

"ROAR!!"

Despite having half its head shattered, the giant Corpse Demon seemed unfazed. It leaped up from the ground, roaring at the sky. Its single eye suddenly erupted with a ghastly green light as its hands formed a seal. It let out a low bellow:

"MOUNTAIN OF CORPSES, SEA OF BLOOD!!"

"SEAL!!"

RUMBLE!

The world before them instantly dissolved into a sinister, bizarre illusion, as if they had been plunged into a strange, apocalyptic landscape.

They were surrounded by mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Heaven and earth were shrouded in a grim, black darkness.

Within this endless darkness, all sorts of ancient corpses emerged. Some were massive, others scrawny; some were human, others of unknown origin...

Still others hid in the shadows, letting out an eerie cackle.

Pairs upon pairs of eyes glowed with red, demonic light, as if they could mesmerize and steal one’s very soul.

Suddenly, a colossal, hideous head materialized between heaven and earth. A terrifying, hoarse voice boomed out amidst roiling morbid energy, "Chen Xuan, do you know..."

"Fuck what you know!!"

Chen Xuan threw another punch. His aura exploded, and a torrent of endless flames surged forth.

The Great Sun’s Golden Crow shrieked, a Barbaric Elephant of Thunder stampeded, a Primeval Fire Dragon tore across the sky, a Primordial Giant Demon roared...

The terrifying power of the flames was blindingly brilliant, instantly shredding everything to pieces!

Obliterating all Demons and Monsters!!

BOOM!!!

The colossal, hideous head exploded again before it could even finish its sentence, dissolving into chaotic, morbid energy. Then, the dark world of corpses before them instantly ignited, transforming into a sea of fire.

AAAAH!

Countless vengeful souls and wrathful ghosts shrieked, their cries sharp and ear-piercing.

It was impossible to tell whether it was real or an illusion.

The darkness before them shattered like glass. With a BANG, it was utterly pulverized.

The giant Corpse Demon, which had just risen to its feet and formed the hand seal, cried out in agony once more. Its body was sent flying backward again, but this time the damage was far worse. Half of its body was nearly obliterated, and it crashed hard in the distance, multiple parts of it bursting into flame.

Terrifying flames now raged across the street, their power immense and unfathomable.

Chen Xuan seemed to have become a deity wreathed in flame!

Majestic, terrifying, and utterly unattainable...

Everyone behind him watched with awe-struck faces, a sense of aspiration blossoming within them.

The head of Tie Kui, still clutched in his hand, seemed to break down once more. What was left of its consciousness trembled with utter terror.

’That’s the Drought Ancestor!’

’The ancestor we nurtured for five hundred years, who absorbed five centuries of the earth’s essence!’

’And he was just brutally destroyed by Chen Xuan like this?’

’How is this possible?’

’How could this be possible!’

[An Inner Realm expert’s spirit has broken for the second time. Retribution points +30,000!]

A line of text appeared.

Amidst the raging flames, Chen Xuan’s gaze was cold and indifferent. His tall, burly figure continued to stride forward, like a War God emerging from the fire. The wind fanned the flames around him, sending out surging waves of heat.

"I don’t care what the hell just tried to escape! All that matters is this!"

"It showed me malice, so it has to die!"

"I don’t care where it runs. Even if it flees to the ends of the earth, it won’t escape!"

"And another thing. There seems to be a second life inside that body of yours. Tell it to get the hell out!"

"If it doesn’t, I’ll tear you to pieces while you’re still breathing!"

Chen Xuan’s voice was cold.

He no longer had any use for the head in his hand. With a clench of his fist... BANG! Tie Kui’s head exploded on the spot.

His headless corpse dropped to the ground.

[...Retribution points +40,000!]

"So, are you ready?"

He looked toward the giant Corpse Demon, which was covered in flames and desperately trying to beat them out.

His figure flashed, and fast as golden lightning, he shot toward the creature.
