Chapter 390: Chapter 346: Times Have Changed, Sir!

A figure engulfed in black smoke landed heavily on the ground.

Almost at the same moment—

The ground sank, and bubbling magma gushed forth.

The figure smashed through the thin layer of magma on the surface and crashed deep into the ground below.

There was a moment of silence.

"Aaaaaaahhhhhhh—"

The bloated figure screamed as it shot up into the sky once again.

Two voices echoed from the sky:

"To the death!"

Magic clashed again—

Boom!!!

Wu Xiaode watched the panda’s performance from the side, muttering in confusion,

"They’re both Lord Level beings, so why fear the magma?"

He crouched down to look closely at the flowing magma.

These were no ordinary magma, but instead, it was filled with deep red-colored peculiar fish swimming around, each with incredibly sharp teeth and a ferocious appearance.

A line of ice crystal characters appeared in the void:

"Chewers of Bone from Molten Magma Hell."

"Primitive Death Race."

"Able to consume any living body, purifying it to nothing."

Purified to nothing.

That is to be gone.

Wu Xiaode looked up at the sky to see several chunks missing from the panda’s buttocks.

The same was true in the front.

...That was a bit pitiful.

Was it really not afraid of misfortune?

Why did it have to oppose the Bright Ghost?

Thump.

A dull sound.

Lord Dong Ga crashed into the ground, bounced a bit, and was tightly clamped by a Cannibal Flower that refused to let go.

"Hahahaha, why would you give me a chance to breathe!"

The panda lay in the flower’s stamen, suddenly bursting into loud laughter:

"You think this bit of bad luck can kill me? No, now is the time for me to take your life, Bright Ghost!"

It spat out something toward the outside—

A mass enveloped entirely by a dark mist suddenly appeared in the void.

Invisible waves emanated from the vague thing, spreading throughout the surrounding void.

In an instant, a line of characters appeared on the Book of the Dead:

"Current time, space, beings, and all things are in an unchangeable state of soul suppression."

Wu Xiaode was somewhat surprised.

Indeed, everything around him had stabilized and was no longer wildly changing.

The panda kicked its foot and shattered the Cannibal Flower into pieces.

It rolled on the ground a few times, stood up, and said viciously,

"From now on, only the world’s setting may change at random, and no one else will interfere with my hunt!"

"That’s really incredible," Wu Xiaode looked at the mass shrouded in darkness and sighed, "there’s actually a treasure that can stabilize the world—what is it?"

"Don’t you dare lay a finger on it!"

The panda shouted and charged towards Wu Xiaode.

On the Book of the Dead, Audrey immediately whispered, "I can intervene at any time."

"It’s better you don’t show yourself, otherwise if the four Death Lords come together, the situation would be a hundred times more perilous," Wu Xiaode said quickly.

Audrey hesitated, "Then you—"

Wu Xiaode looked calm, assumed a boxing stance on the spot, and quietly said,

"I’ve been the Bright Ghost for quite some time now. My understanding of luck and misfortune is deeper than yours—this is a difference of 18 points of luck, so it won’t be as simple as it thinks."

Audrey said, "Are you suggesting that the changing world settings—"

"Exactly, I’m familiar with that," Wu Xiaode replied.

No sooner had he spoken.

Lord Dong Ga had already pounced in front of him.

"Die!"

It drew a long stick and fiercely smashed it down on Wu Xiaode’s head!

Almost at the same moment, a prompt rune appeared before Wu Xiaode’s eyes:

"World setting has been changed."

"Current world setting: The lighter the attack, the heavier the damage it causes."

Wu Xiaode lightly threw a punch.

His seemingly feeble fist met the fierce stick shadow tearing through the void—

Clang!

The fist was fine.

The stick whistled through the air, vanishing into the clouds.

The panda clapped its hands together and shouted, "Black and White Soul Snatching Skill!"

A line of ice crystal characters immediately appeared in the void:

"World setting changed to: Only boxing is effective."

The boiling Soul Power on the panda’s hands vanished entirely.

Wu Xiaode launched a punch, and before it hit the panda—

In a fraction of a second, several lines of ice crystal characters quickly flashed by:

"World setting added: Boxing attack strength increased by a hundredfold;"

"World setting added: Boxing attacks will hit their target directly;"

"World setting added: Being hit by a boxing attack will result in loss of bladder and bowel control."

Boom!!!

The panda was punched directly into the rocks below, with only one black leg sticking out.

It was only then that the world setting finally changed:

"Current boxing cannot harm anyone."

"Only long stick weapons can cause a hundredfold attack damage!"

The invisible waves caused by the change in world laws dispersed.

The drooping black leg of the panda suddenly perked up.

It felt it!

Splash—

The panda broke free from the shattered rocks, leaped high into the air, and couldn’t help but touch its butt before pulling out another long stick, laughing triumphantly as it shouted:

"Alright, alright, it’s finally my turn!"

"Damnable Bright Ghost, die—"

The long stick, carrying a piercing howl, viciously smashed down towards Wu Xiaode’s forehead.

In that instant, frenzied, invisible fluctuations once again emerged in the Void.

A dense array of ice crystal letters refreshed:

"World settings have been randomly changed!"

"World setting added: The power of boxing attacks multiplied by one hundred;"

"World setting added: Boxing attacks will hit directly;"

"World setting added: Weapons of the stick type can only inflict minor damage;"

"World setting added: The defensive strength of Bright Ghosts of the Death Race increased by ten million times;"

"World setting added: The power of boxing attacks multiplied by a thousand;"

"World setting added: The damage from sword weapons increased by a thousand times;"

"From now on, targets hit by fists and swords will have their debuff effects doubled."

The stick was already before Wu Xiaode’s face!

Wu Xiaode didn’t block at all, allowing the long stick to strike his forehead with a "clang" sound, but he thrust his Desert Sword forward—

The Desert Sword immediately pierced through the panda’s chest.

Wu Xiaode’s other hand clenched into a fist, fiercely aiming for the panda’s face.

It hit!

A row of Ice Frost letters leapt from the panda’s deformed face:

"Fists and swords have struck the target, deepening the Curse of Misfortune on it."

"Current Curse of Misfortune level updated to: 18."

points of Curse of Misfortune.

Plus the 9 points of luck on Wu Xiaode.

—The gap in fortune between the two widened to 27 points!

This was a terrifying number without precedent, even Wu Xiaode himself felt his heart pounding at the sight.

"Ah—"

The panda let out a dreadful scream, flying sideways, knocking everything in its path away.

Gasping for air, it stood up, swung its arms, and bellowed in frustration:

"Impossible!"

"Even if you’ve added 3 points of luck to yourself, and cursed me with 3 points of misfortune, it should be over by now—you can’t possibly keep all the world’s luck on your side forever, not even the strongest Bright Ghost can do that!"

Wu Xiaode looked at it as if it were delirious and couldn’t help but feel a silent pity for it in his heart.

—Big brother, I am three Bright Ghosts in one.

The panda’s eyes were bloodshot, it gritted its teeth, and after standing in fierce silence for a while, it suddenly sensed the invisible fluctuations in the Void.

The world settings had changed again!

"Starting now, all previous settings are nullified; the stronger being will receive a power boost one hundred times greater!"

The panda sensed for a moment and finally let out a long sigh of relief.

"The time for vengeance has come."

First, it completely emptied its bladder, and then it pulled out a long stick, charging at Wu Xiaode like a berserk tiger.

"Ahhhhh, I’m going to kill the second Bright Ghost today!"

The long stick swung down with all its might.

Wu Xiaode didn’t move.

But the stick retracted.

The panda feinted with the stick and, dragging its bulky body, rolled over and over, landing dozens of meters away.

Doubtfully, it sensed the changes in the surrounding Laws.

However, all around, there was silence.

The world setting remained unchanged, still granting "a hundredfold power boost to the stronger being."

It really hadn’t changed!

"Hahaha, in the face of strength, luck ultimately has its limits, hope you remember this in your next life!"

The panda mobilized all its Soul Power, causing the Void also to continually shift and transform.

It moved, thundering towards Wu Xiaode, leapt high, and, holding the long stick aloft, unleashed its ultimate Stick Skill—

The moment of decision was at hand!

In the blink of an eye, as the Void stirred, a new world setting scrolled across the Book of the Dead:

"World setting changes have entered an explosive state, with the following specific changes:"

"Beings with dark circles under their eyes will experience ten thousand times more pain when struck;"

"Stick Skill damage rebounds upon oneself;"

"Boxing damage increased by ten million times;"

"Attacking from mid-air is seen as a provocation to the Death God;"

"Existences unable to stop defecating and urinating will be regarded as targets needing to pay a price;"

"Those who carry both black and white aspects fit the requirements for sacrifice;"

"Those who wish to take lives in the Death God Demon Palace will soon have their lives taken by the power of the palace;"

"All conditions fulfilled, the seal of the past is opened."

"—The Death God Demon Palace opens the Sacrifice Ceremony!"

By then, the panda had already sensed the intense invisible fluctuations in the Void.

But it was too late!

Its stick had already landed on Wu Xiaode’s raised fist.

Eye to eye.

"Damn it... are you a Bright Ghost or a monster..."

The panda’s eyes reddened, as if it were immensely wronged.

For the first time in a fight, Wu Xiaode felt a sincere sympathy.

This guy, fighting on, happened to meet some harsh condition, and now it was about to sacrifice itself.

What a rarity!

But what to say?

There were no words to comfort it.

This panda was single-minded in killing a Bright Ghost, coveting the Ghost Queen’s treasure—

Because it had the experience of killing a Bright Ghost before.

But it didn’t know, this time it faced three Bright Ghosts!

Wu Xiaode’s mouth twitched slightly, still unable to find comforting words, and could only whisper:

"The times have changed, Lord."

His fist struck the panda’s face.

A distorted afterimage shot into the sky, unleashing a hysterical scream in mid-air.
