Undying Life

Chapter 550: An Even Mightier Divine Beast

Nangong Sheng utilized a grand array to draw in boundless energy from all directions, harnessing the power of heaven and earth to form a colossal hand that ascended to meet the descending green hand.

It seemed that the heavens themselves despised such an intruder. As Nangong Sheng raised his hand towards the sky, countless bolts of lightning transformed into electrical energy, infusing his enormous hand, which then surged towards the green hand with tremendous force.

The sheer power of the collision caused the space between the two gigantic hands to shatter into black holes, absorbing everything around them.

After a brief buildup, the two colossal hands clashed with an immense impact.

"Boom!"

The sound of the collision was so deafening that it momentarily deafened everyone present. The explosive noise echoed across the land, reverberating through at least a thousandth of the underworld's territory.

High above the Great Ze Ghost Domain, the space shattered, revealing a massive black hole. The surrounding mountains and valleys crumbled and collapsed, with countless mortals and weak ghosts perishing from the shockwave.

The clash of these two gigantic hands was unprecedented, wiping out billions of living and dead beings alike.

Drawing on the advantage of being in his home world, Nangong Sheng used the power of his grand array to drive the green hand back, ultimately shoving it out of the world.

"Spurt~!"

Nangong Sheng, however, was injured by the recoil, coughing up a mouthful of blood.

The green hand in the sky was also forced back out of this world, and the rift in the sky closed once more.

The sheer power on display left everyone in awe.

This was the might of a powerhouse from the Great Thousand World. The scene felt surreal, but the sight of the many weaker beings who had died from the powerful auras reminded everyone of the harsh reality—they were mere ants before such overwhelming power.

Nangong Sheng, an immortal, had been injured?

Wiping the blood from his mouth, Nangong Sheng stared silently at the spot where the green hand had disappeared.

At this moment, everyone noticed something astonishing—the fire Qilin had escaped.

Taking advantage of the fight between Nangong Sheng and the powerhouse from the Great Thousand World, the fire Qilin had fled. Only residual flames remained where it had once been.

The fire Qilin had escaped?

Everyone's eyes lit up at the thought. Then, their excitement quickly turned to disappointment. Many desired the Qilin as a mount or coveted the mysterious iron book it held, but what could they do? The fire Qilin was incredibly powerful and could easily take their lives. They had to temper their desires with caution.

Nangong Sheng, too, realized the fire Qilin had fled. Yet he didn't panic. After glaring at the sky for a while longer and wiping the blood from his mouth, he vanished, presumably in pursuit of the fire Qilin.

The mighty ones had departed, leaving behind a desolate world and unforgettable memories.

Some peerless experts, those above the Emperor Extreme Realm, dared to pursue the fire Qilin, driven by a slim hope. Others dared not chase it.

"That was terrifying!" Xianxian said, her face pale with fear.

Mr. Corpse, too, was filled with awe.

To think that even in this small thousand world, they had encountered another divine beast, the ninety-sixth ranked divine beast of the Great Thousand World. The reason for Mr. Corpse's remark "again" was due to having previously seen another divine beast—the "Ancestor Divine Beast" that Zhong Shan had given to Nian Youyou.

"Since it's Nangong Sheng and the fire Qilin, there's no point in staying. Farewell!" Zhong Shan said to Yan Chongzhi.

They had traveled together to face unknown dangers, but now that the immediate threat was gone, there was no need to stay together.

"Understood," Yan Chongzhi nodded.

However, the Old Wine Man suddenly seemed to go into a fit, his face displaying boundless terror and anxiety.

"Doomed, we're doomed..." The Old Wine Man shouted frantically.

His sudden panic drew everyone's attention.

"What's wrong, Senior?" Yan Chongzhi asked.

"Doomed, we're doomed!" The Old Wine Man closed his eyes as if trying to sense something.

"What's going on? Why are you acting crazy?" Xianxian shouted at him.

"Danger, immense danger, even worse than the fire Qilin. No, no, we need to get to the sky!" The Old Wine Man screamed in terror.

Although the others didn't understand what was happening, they followed the Old Wine Man and flew up into the sky.

All around, numerous strong individuals began to rise from the ground, seeking to escape this place of danger.

"What's happening?" Yan Chongzhi asked, worried.

"Nowhere to run, there's nowhere to run!" The Old Wine Man shouted in a frenzied panic.

Everyone looked at him, bewildered.

Zhong Shan and Yan Chongzhi kept their eyes on the Old Wine Man, trusting his instincts.

"It's below!" The Old Wine Man suddenly pointed at the mud below.

"There's another terrifying presence down there!" he said in horror.

"Boom!"

A deep, muffled sound echoed from the sky.

"Ouch!" Someone seemed to crash into something and tumbled down before regaining their balance.

"Nangong Sheng's formation?" Xianxian shouted.

Nangong Sheng's formation hadn't been removed, leaving an invisible barrier in the sky, blocking many people's escape routes.

Realizing the sky was not an option, people began to fly in all directions.

Zhong Shan, with Xianxian and Mr. Corpse, flew in one direction, while Yan Chongzhi and the Old Wine Man went in another, trying to leave the area quickly.

Suddenly, the Old Wine Man stopped.

"Senior, what's wrong?" Yan Chongzhi asked, surprised.

The Old Wine Man looked towards the direction Zhong Shan had gone.

"A glimmer of hope, a glimmer of hope?" The Old Wine Man's face first showed delight, then puzzlement.

"What glimmer of hope?" Yan Chongzhi asked.

"We have a chance; it's Zhong Shan. Let's catch up with him!" the Old Wine Man said excitedly.

He grabbed the confused Yan Chongzhi and hurriedly flew towards Zhong Shan.

"Zhong Shan, is there really danger?" Xianxian asked, doubtfully.

"If the Old Wine Man says there is, then it should be true. He didn't seem to be faking it. Let's move!" Zhong Shan decided.

The three sped away. As they did, they noticed something strange: many of the fleeing strong individuals had begun fighting each other. Even those dressed similarly were fighting.

Chaos had erupted among the fleeing crowd, driven by unknown forces.

"Senior Brother, wake up, what's wrong with you?" a person in the midst of battle shouted desperately.

"Unfilial disciple, are you trying to betray your master?" came a shout from another fight in the distance.

"Uncle Master, you can't kill me, you can't!"

Chaos reigned as many of those trying to escape began to fight each other under mysterious and bizarre circumstances. It was as if some unseen force was turning allies against one another.

Suddenly, a skeleton wielding a large sword charged towards Zhong Shan.

"Bang!"

The skeleton was sent flying by a zombie that appeared in front of Mr. Corpse.

The surroundings became increasingly disorienting, with everyone in a state of extreme tension and confusion. People were fighting their own kin, and no one could understand why. The situation was eerily inexplicable, which was far more terrifying than the tangible threat posed by the fire Qilin earlier. Now, the enemy was unseen, manipulating some to attack others. Who or what was behind this?

Tension and fear escalated. Why was this happening?

Zhong Shan, Mr. Corpse, and Xianxian remained on high alert. Suddenly, a fist-sized black shadow shot up from the mud towards Xianxian. Zhong Shan quickly pulled her aside, and the shadow missed, falling back into the mud.

"What was that?" Xianxian frowned.

Mr. Corpse's eyes narrowed as he looked around, seeming to understand something but not yet certain.

Just then, the Old Wine Man and Yan Chongzhi returned.

"Old Wine Man, why are you back?" Xianxian asked.

"The situation is dire. Let's stick together. More people mean more security!" the Old Wine Man urged, glancing nervously at Zhong Shan.

Zhong Shan nodded, not rejecting the offer. After all, the Old Wine Man had been helpful when the fire Qilin appeared.

Meanwhile, in the distance, the mud began to churn violently, rising and falling as if a monstrous creature was about to emerge.

Mud splattered in all directions, targeting the many powerful beings within the Great Ze Ghost Domain.

"Watch out! Avoid them!" Mr. Corpse suddenly shouted.

Everyone initially prepared to defend themselves, but at Mr. Corpse's warning, they quickly evaded the mud splatters. Mr. Corpse even withdrew the zombie he had summoned.

"This is bad, we're in big trouble this time!" Mr. Corpse said with a bitter expression.

"Do you know what's happening?" Zhong Shan asked.

Looking at the churning mud, Mr. Corpse said, "Your Majesty, do you remember the corpses we encountered before entering the Great Ze Ghost Domain?"

"Those corpses with holes in their heads, their brains extracted," Xianxian recalled.

"Yes, at first I thought it was the work of some powerful individual or a secret technique. Now I see I was completely wrong. It's a divine beast from the Great Thousand World. The 'Heavenly Descended Golden Sun' brought down two divine beasts: not only the fire Qilin but also this brain-eating beast," Mr. Corpse said, his face filled with concern.

"A divine beast? Brain-eating beast?" Zhong Shan's eyebrow rose.

"Yes, ranked ninety-fourth among the divine beasts of the Great Thousand World, the brain-eating beast," Mr. Corpse said anxiously.

"Ninety-fourth? That means it's even stronger than the fire Qilin?" Xianxian exclaimed.

"Indeed," Mr. Corpse nodded.

"Let's go!" Zhong Shan ordered without hesitation, commanding a swift retreat.
