Chapter 225: Chapter 203: The Demon God Appears Again!

Wu Xiaode moved his body slightly.

The One-eyed Giant’s Name Skill had long since disappeared without a trace.

He could move now.

All the bigwigs who had come to feed had also left.

According to the records in the Book of the Dead, this "self-service banquet" had garnered him quite a bit of Soul Power and Willpower—

"Current Soul Power: 4.1 million;"

"Current Willpower: 950,000."

Even though the Book of the Dead had skimmed off seventy percent, he still had this much left.

Strangely, nobody had paid with Merit.

—It seemed that Merit was still the most valuable.

As Wu Xiaode thought, he gazed out over the plain.

The skeleton of the giant was enormous.

Standing in the desolate wasteland full of bones, it exuded an air of desolation and sorrow.

Originally, this was to be the One-eyed Giant’s end,

But—

The Book of the Dead suddenly opened.

A skeleton dog leapt down from the pages and let out an authoritative roar:

"Nobody move, I’ll pick the bones first."

On the ground around, all the skeleton demons crouching felt the intimidating presence of the bone dragon.

They cautiously retreated, leaving the giant’s bones at the spot.

The bone dog wagged its tail, dashed over, and began selecting some bones from the One-eyed Giant’s skeleton for itself.

Wu Xiaode stood silently not far away.

To be honest—

Back in the Holy City, that scholarly Demon God had blurted out that he could not kill any Demon God without stirring up some unknowable, terrifying beings.

Such a bold claim.

It had forgotten that he came from world number 1666 and did not belong to its world, number 5432.

The Black Dragon in his world was already dead.

—Nothing had happened.

Wu Xiaode was quietly pondering when suddenly a voice rang out beside his ear:

"Healing on the brink of death."

He turned his head and saw a vague figure casting some sort of Healing Skill on him.

It was a Heroic Spirit.

"Don’t cast Healing Skills on me." Wu Xiaode quickly said.

The Heroic Spirit paused, baffled.

"Back in the Death Demon Cave, I still don’t know what the situation is, I need to rely on this brink-of-death state," Wu Xiaode said.

Several Heroic Spirits appeared around him.

—Back in the Holy City, during his fight with Xu Shihu, he had entered a state close to death.

After returning to the Death Demon Cave, the reason he could continue to fight and move was actually because the Heroic Spirits descended upon him, controlling his body according to his will.

Otherwise, how could a person close to death have the energy to fight a giant?

The death of the One-eyed Giant might attract the attention of other Demon Gods, so just in case, he had to maintain this brink-of-death state, ready to summon "Bright Ghost" at any moment.

Whispers surrounded him.

"Being close to death... you could die at any moment, and the longer you stay in this state, the greater the likelihood becomes,"

one Heroic Spirit said.

Wu Xiaode sighed.

He knew this all too well, didn’t he?

But there was no alternative, those Demon Gods were too powerful.

Another Heroic Spirit landed in front of Wu Xiaode, speaking softly, "Life Extension."

A stroke of emerald light fell upon Wu Xiaode.

Immediately, a line of ice crystal text appeared on the Book of the Dead:

"You have received the support of the Life Extension Skill."

"Even in a brink-of-death state, your body will maintain a faint life force, temporarily staving off death."

Right after,

Countless vague figures quietly emerged from all directions.

Wu Xiaode, sensing this, nodded and said, "It seems we’ve reached the time to say goodbye."

His Demon Armor immediately emitted a series of dense clangs—

Scale Armor pieces colliding with each other, releasing all the residing spirits and Heroic Spirits within.

These Heroic Spirits stood densely packed, encircling Wu Xiaode in the center, motionless and silent.

Boom—

A magnificent column of light suddenly fell from the sky.

A line of ice crystal text silently emerged on the Book of the Dead:

"All spirits present participated in the battle to annihilate the One-eyed Giant."

"The passage to the Spirit Realm has now been opened."

"By virtue of their battle, all spirits will return to the Spirit Realm!"

Wu Xiaode bowed deeply and said:

"With our great vengeance exacted, I won’t keep you any longer."

All the spirits and Heroic Spirits nodded in response.

These spirits and Heroic Spirits transformed into dim and bright lights, spiraling into the column of light, soaring into the clouds, and quickly disappearing from sight.

In an instant.

The column of light also disappeared.

Everything was as if it had never happened.

At the same time, a line of line of ice crystal text appeared on the Book of the Dead:

"You laid a trap and killed the One-eyed Giant."

"This pioneering historical event is enough to shake countless worlds."

"You have earned the title: Giant Slayer."

"With the final blessings of numerous spirits and Heroic Spirits, the laws forming this title have merged into your Name Skill."

"Your Name Skill: ’Heavenly Ghost’ begins to evolve."

"This evolution will take three hours."

"Please wait."

Just then, the Demon Armor on Wu Xiaode’s body suddenly cracked, breaking into pieces of Scale Armor that fell to the ground.

But the next moment, the Slumbering True Sight Gem embedded in the armor fiercely flashed.

The pieces of Scale Armor on the ground swiftly returned to Wu Xiaode’s body, reconstructing into a brand-new set of Battle Armor.

This Battle Armor, more elegant and stylish than before, carried an indescribable sense of nobility when worn by Wu Xiaode.

The Book of the Dead quickly flipped open, showing a line of ice crystal text:

"The Demon Armor took you through time and space, thus suffering the backlash of three laws."

"Although by the power of the Slumbering True Sight Gem the armor was restored to its original state, it could no longer manifest as Demon Armor."
