Chapter 361: Chapter 319: Doomsday Cage!

The Desert Sword danced with a ripple that tore through space.

Ci Le reacted in an instant.

"Damn!"

He cursed loudly as an endless amount of Black Water behind him instantly coalesced into his form.

With a slash of the Desert Sword!

Ci Le’s entire body turned into Black Water, scattered mid-air.

The towering mountain of Black Water behind him was also cleaved in two, turning into a downpour.

All the raindrops vanished into thin air.

—That strike had just completely annihilated the Black Water.

They were Ci Le’s Power.

Looking around, it was evident that the dark sea beneath the Bronze Mountain Peak had significantly diminished.

"So it did hit, huh..."

Wu Xiaode mused thoughtfully.

This move had drained all of his Life Force, yet in the end, it still hadn’t killed his opponent.

—One only had to look at that boundless black sea to know.

The opponent was still alive!

Without hesitation, Wu Xiaode took out a peach and began eating it rapidly.

This peach was a good thing.

It had fallen from the sky the first time he faced off against the Destruction Council.

—It was obviously a gift from The Queen Mother of the West.

The Book of the Dead also displayed a line of ice crystal characters:

"You activated ’Demoted Immortal,’ consuming all your Life Force."

"You are consuming a millennium-old West Garden Peach, and your Life Force is being restored."

"Current Life Force: one thousand years."

Wu Xiaode paused for a moment.

Shen Feixue had eaten a five-hundred-year peach, which increased her Life Force by three hundred years.

This millennium peach had provided a full thousand years of Life Force!

Enough for him to continue the fight!

It seemed as if the Book of the Dead knew what Wu Xiaode was thinking, and another line of text appeared:

"With a lifespan of a thousand years, you can activate ’Doomsday’ nine more times."

Good!

He had nine chances left.

But how to use them...

Bad news.

That guy had been tricked by him once, and this time he might come at him with everything he had to kill him.

Without a second thought, Wu Xiaode immediately activated "Ordinary."

"’Ordinary’: With this ’Doomsday,’ you can designate a unique target that will become an ally with whom you cannot harm each other."

The next moment, a roar sounded in his ears:

"You still won’t die this time?"

The roaring Black Water turned into unceasing blades that densely filled the Void, continuously slicing back and forth.

In an instant, the Bronze Mountain Peak was shredded to pieces.

But in that instant, Wu Xiaode’s "Ordinary" took effect.

The endless black blades passed through his body without inflicting a single scratch on him.

"That move again! Good, let’s see if you’ll regret it when I completely destroy your world!"

Ci Le’s voice resonated through the sky.

Wu Xiaode’s expression shifted slightly.

"Bullshit!" he took a deep breath and shouted, "This world has heavenly Laws, guarded by countless Guardian Gods. If you dare to destroy the world, they will never let you off!"

The Black Sea stirred.

Ci Le burst out of the water and floated in mid-air, laughing maniacally:

"Hahaha, you are scared now, you’re finally scared!"

"Come on, remove the ’Doomsday’ from both of us, and I’ll just kill you, otherwise your world will definitely be doomed."

"I don’t believe it," Wu Xiaode shook his head vehemently, "Heavenly Laws can erase all existences, even your power cannot oppose it."

"Foolish native, today I will teach you to behave."

Ci Le said with malicious intent, "Heavenly Laws can only govern Divine spirits, like those True Gods in the heavens or those Evil Gods wandering amongst the common folks—I am not such a spirit, they can’t control me!"

"Evil God?"

Wu Xiaode showed a look of intrigue.

Ci Le thought this guy was an idiot for not even knowing this.

To flaunt his knowledge, intimidate the opponent, and to make him surrender—even more so—

In any case, Ci Le kept talking:

"Yes, those who are worshipped by the common folk, who receive incense and prayers, have temples and statues, have Believers, but are not recognized by Heaven—those are Evil Gods!"

Wu Xiaode pondered for a second.

Snap!

He suddenly snapped his fingers.

Hundreds of bronze hands materialized behind him, clashing "pang bang" against each other, fusing into a bronze statue of Ci Le.

"Look, does this resemble you?" Wu Xiaode asked.

Ci Le, not understanding, kept silent.

Wu Xiaode looked at him, then at the statue, and praised, "It does look like you, let’s proceed."

More dense bronze hands emerged from the Void, slamming into each other with "pipa la" sounds, assembling into a temple.

Temple, check. Statue, check.

What were missing were incense, prayer, and Believers.

Wu Xiaode thought for a moment, swiped the Holy Treasure Ring, and pulled out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter.

—He didn’t smoke himself; these were prepared when he last returned to the real world.

It was meant to be a gift for acquaintances he might meet.

Wu Xiaode lit a cigarette and stood in front of the bronze statue.

Smoke began to rise.

"Hold on, what are you doing?" Ci Le asked, his face darkening.

"Making an attempt," Wu Xiaode replied, not looking back.

It seemed a bit absurd.

But with the world at stake, he believed those in the heavens would be paying attention to what was happening here.

Bound by the heavenly Laws, they indeed could not intervene.

But—

What if he gave them a pretense?

What if he offered an opportunity that seemed ridiculous but was actually in accordance with the heavenly Laws?

After all—

He now had the incense!

Wu Xiaode clasped his hands together and silently prayed before Ci Le’s bronze statue:

"Great Ci Le, please strike at our world with all your might, and I will offer you chicken and burn paper money for you tonight."

Believer, prayer.

—Everything was in order now!

Ci Le also realized what was happening and was about to curse out loud when he suddenly looked up at the sky.

A voice of authority came from the depths of the sky:

"With temple, incense, Believer, prayer, and statue all present, and with an entire nation’s creatures eradicated, accepting the prayer and causing devastation for all living beings."

"Thus, it is determined to be an Evil God!"

Ci Le was dumbfounded.

Suddenly, a verdant book appeared in the sky.

Endless rays of Destruction Thunder Light surrounded it.

——This is the heavenly decree!

"Fuck!"

Ci Le cried out involuntarily, his entire being immediately fleeing into the Black Water.

The Black Water ceaselessly flowed, beginning to fully dissolve the power and skeletal frame on his body, eliciting constant wails of torment.

Wu Xiaode slowly raised his head to look at the sky.

"Hey," he cupped his hands to his mouth to form a megaphone and shouted loudly, "The Evil God has been born, so why don’t you strike him down?"

In the sky, that majestic voice sounded again:

"This being has given up all external powers, starting his transformation into a mortal body."

"Being mortal, he is not bound by the heavenly decree."

Wu Xiaode looked toward the Black Water.

All he saw was Ci Le within it, various strange powers and materialized objects erupting from him, only to be wiped away by the Black Water.

...How tragic.

In the sky, that book of cyan-green slowly rose, disappearing from Wu Xiaode’s view.

The majestic voice resounded once more:

"The heavenly decree cannot bind mortals, he will soon complete the transformation, and then he will destroy the world."

——That was a warning.

We have no other choice; if you can’t stop him, after suffering so much, he will certainly destroy this world.

Wu Xiaode took the hint.

Think fast.

Think, think, think.

Indeed, after using "Ordinary," Ci Le could no longer harm him, but if he were to destroy the whole world just like that——

Everything would be over.

But what power did he still have, that could stop him?

Wu Xiaode looked towards another Doomsday power.

"Demoted Immortal."

"Instantly transform a certain power into the most terrifying Law-Level power, duration one second."

What power did he have that could change this situation?

What would be the most powerful use of this "Doomsday"?

Currently, his most powerful asset was the Power of Demon God.

Four Demon Gods!

A flash of thought streaked through Wu Xiaode’s mind.

Opposite him, all the Black Water receded, revealing Ci Le’s form once again.

His aura had completely changed, his body was full of wounds, no longer possessed the mysterious and formidable power as before.

"I’m going to destroy this world, now, immediately, and you won’t be able to stop me anymore!"

Ci Le shouted loudly.

He indeed no longer cared about Wu Xiaode, lifting one hand high into the air.

All the Black Water converged into his hand, forming a sphere of darkness.

"Go! Destroy everything!"

Ci Le roared.

Wu Xiaode was almost ready to trigger "Demoted Immortal," to manifest his Demon God.

——But the Demon God is just a Demon God!

The power of this "Doomsday" is something the Demon God cannot withstand.

What to do?

A streak of spirit light flashed through Wu Xiaode’s mind.

Was the Power of Demon God really his strongest?

No.

His strongest power...

Was "Doomsday"!

If there was anything that could stop the other side, it would also be "Doomsday."

So, naturally, that’s what he should elevate.

In the sky, the dark sphere plunging towards the ground unleashed a sinister, piercing howl.

Like awakening from a dream, Wu Xiaode’s whole body shook, and he yelled resolutely:

"’Demoted Immortal’!"

On the Book of the Dead, lines of ice crystal letters suddenly appeared:

"You have activated ’Demoted Immortal’."

"It can instantly elevate a power to the most terrifying Law-Level."

"You have chosen your target of activation:"

"Your Doomsday: Ordinary King."

"This Doomsday has been elevated to the most terrifying Law-Level."

"’Ordinary King’ has transformed into an unheard-of Doomsday-Level power:"

"Doomsday Cage."

"——The power has been activated!"

On the wall, the icon showing two back-to-back angels appeared once again.

They seemed to sense something and gently smiled.

"He has quickly discovered the true use of this power."

One angel spoke.

"Indeed, he has really found it."

The other angel sighed.

On the ground.

The dark sphere struck mightily against the surface, creating a bottomless pit.

The whole world trembled.

Then——

Everything returned to calm.

"Impossible! I struck with all my Doomsday strength, the world should have been destroyed already!"

Ci Le cried out in disbelief.

Suddenly.

An extremely powerful force sucked both him and Wu Xiaode down.

The two fell to the ground.

It appeared that the ground had changed from before.

It was unimaginably tough.

Wu Xiaode struck it with his Desert Sword, yet only a faint mark was made.

At that moment, rows of glowing letters emerged in midair:

"Participants: 1 person."

"Host: 1 person."

"The search is about to begin."

"Please name at least one unsolved ’Doomsday Cage’ within five minutes."

"If no ’Doomsday Cage’ is named within the time limit, the search will immediately terminate, and the participant will be erased instantly!"

The participant will be erased?

Ci Le was taken aback, slowly looking towards Wu Xiaode.

Wu Xiaode shrugged and said, "Sorry, I’m the host, you see——"

The word "Host" slowly emerged above his head.

——And what about me?

Ci Le slowly raised his head, looking towards his own head.

Above his head were also several large characters:

"Participant."
