Chapter 423: Chapter 377: Think Fast! (Extra update, vote for us!)

"Celebrate? It’s too early for that,"

Wu Xiaode said.

Everyone looked at him.

"What’s the matter? Aren’t they fighting each other?" Little Bone asked.

Wu Xiaode’s expression remained calm as he spoke softly, "The Destruction Council has been troubling me from the start, seeking to kill me and take ’The End’ from me. We’ve only just begun to settle this account."

The Book of the Dead opened to a blank page.

Looking at the blank page, Wu Xiaode said,

"Record: My ’The End’ has consumed about thirty or so other ’The Ends’. When will it be able to evolve completely?"

The words he spoke swiftly appeared on the Book of the Dead.

"Little Wu, what are you doing?" Audrey couldn’t help but ask.

"An idea to deal with the Destruction Council—while they’re still clashing with Caijing, I need to upgrade my Death Skill now," Wu Xiaode said.

"Which skill are you planning to upgrade? Do you need my advice?" asked Little Bone.

"No need, I’ve already made up my mind," Wu Xiaode replied.

As he willed it, the Book of the Dead flipped to the page labeled "Sighing Wall."

Wu Xiaode looked at "Sealing Hand" and "Shadow Followers" and made his choice without hesitation:

"The Death Law I gained from this trial, I will use it all to upgrade Shadow Followers."

Immediately, the Sighing Wall showed a line of ice crystal letters:

"Your Silent Demon Fog Skill: ’Shadow Followers’ has been raised to sub-level, with the following effects:"

"Shadow Followers (Intermediate)."

"Your power will be shared with your Shadow Followers, and every time you gain a Shadow Follower, you can choose one of their abilities to use (current follower limit: 3)."

"Additionally, the Silent Demon Fog’s concealment ability has also undergone a significant enhancement."

"—A hidden skill of a Death Lord Level."

The number of followers became 3!

Looking at this number, Wu Xiaode felt somewhat stifled.

He had originally planned to use this skill to send everyone to the Past Epoch to enhance their strength in preparation for the challenge of the Divine beings reaching Level 50 in two days.

—Now, forced by the situation, he had to waste one Shadow Follower position after another.

Damn Destruction Council.

Wu Xiaode closed his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them again, he was completely calm.

"Little Bone, accept this," he said.

"Ah? Okay," the bone dragon responded, as if understanding.

A line of ice crystal letters appeared soon after:

"Your third Shadow Follower has been confirmed as: Little Bone (Juvenile Bone Dragon)."

"You can select its skills to use at any time, and you can also bestow one of your skills upon it."

Wu Xiaode asked, "Little Bone, which of my skills do you want to use?"

"Of course, it’s ’Sealing Hand’! It now possesses Tao Power, which I’ve been envious of for a long time," said Little Bone excitedly.

"It’s yours. Also, I’d like to use your Frost Breath for searching," Wu Xiaode said.

"Choose something else—animal transformation can transform into any beast from All Worlds; Intermediate physical attack immunity to strengthen your defense; Frost Breath specifically to freeze the opponent—whatever you’re searching for, I can help you find it," Little Bone said.

"It’s okay, I’ll use it for now, then we can switch later."

Wu Xiaode looked at the Book of the Dead and said, "Activate Frost Breath search, copy and paste the sentence I just said."

An ice crystal search bar floated in front of him, automatically filled with the same question:

"My ’The End’ has consumed about thirty or so other ’The Ends’. When will it be able to evolve completely?"

"Enter," Wu Xiaode commanded.

The Frost Breath search bar disappeared, turning into an Ice Frost Wall, which displayed the answer:

"The Human Emperor’s Secret Realm is the world of the Holy Spirit of the Human Race. Compared to other worlds, time here almost stops."

"You must stay here for five days before ’The End’ can fully evolve."

Wu Xiaode looked at the answer for a while, his thoughts unclear, and he remained silent for a long time.

Meanwhile, Little Bone played with the Sealing Hand—

Around it, not bronze arms appeared, but rather bronze claws, just like its own dog paws.

Suddenly.

The sky split open again with a flaming portal.

Several red-robed men jumped out of the hole, each with injuries.

Caijing also looked somewhat ragged, with a large red stain on her chest.

"I really didn’t kill your Arian. It’s completely not worth it for you to fight me to the death!" she said through gritted teeth with hatred.

"If it wasn’t you, who else could it be? We’ve all seen the video!" a red-robed man said.

The group gathered a bright light again, seemingly ready to hurl it.

"Stop! Cease fire! If I really killed him, may I never achieve the complete arrival of the Quicksand Master; let all Laws bear witness!" Caijing shouted.

The red-robed men looked at each other.

She was a Church Divine Girl, someone who took faith and loyalty seriously. She had now sworn a poisonous oath in the name of the "Quicksand Master". If she lied, she would go against her own doctrine.

—Could it really not have been her?

Wu Xiaode on the ground snapped back to reality at that moment.

Accompanied by his intent, two lines of ice crystal letters suddenly jumped out from the Book of the Dead:

"You have chosen the ability from Little Bone: animal transformation."

"The transformation target is: Dark Blood Tiger (Beast of the Purgatory Realm)."

In an instant, Wu Xiaode’s body rapidly grew black patterns, resembling an upright humanoid black fierce tiger.

—This was Arian’s true form!

The fog dissipated.

Wu Xiaode suddenly appeared before everyone’s eyes.

"Lord Arian!"

All the men in red robes shouted in unison.

Caijing’s expression changed.

"Quick, kill her!" Wu Xiaode yelled loudly, "She stole the Human Emperor’s Taoist Book from my hands, kill her, and take back the Taoist Book!"

The Human Emperor’s Taoist Book?

In her possession!

The members of the Destruction Council glared at Caijing, their eyes bloodshot.

"World Skill—"

In a flash, they once more released a hazy space, bringing Caijing into it.

Both sides vanished.

"Will she die this time?" Little Bone asked.

"Don’t know, but no matter who dies, it’s all the same to us."

Having finished speaking, Wu Xiaode reverted back to his own appearance.

Fog rolled in.

Everything vanished once more.

Wu Xiaode had Rester carry him to an even more distant location where he crouched, awaiting the outcome in silence.

Caijing had also been fighting one battle after another.

How much strength did she have left now?

—If only she would retreat, the city would be saved.

Once she left, from then on, no one would be able to trace who killed Arian today, nor would anyone know who took away the true teachings of the Human Emperor.

And he himself must continue to stay in the Human Emperor’s Secret Realm until the ultimate evolution was complete.

So, this battle must not be lost.

Wu Xiaode moved his body but found that only his wrist could move.

Too low a level!

Otherwise, he would have joined the fight with those brothers from the Destruction Council just now.

Kill Caijing first, then the brothers.

Wu Xiaode’s thoughts flew as he continuously pondered the next course of action.

Ten or so breaths later.

A figure suddenly appeared in the sky.

Caijing.

Her body was covered with blood, and she held a string of heads in her hand, looking down at the world below with an expressionless face.

"I’ve killed all your people, Arian."

She tossed the heads casually, and they flew across the sky, crashing into the hard rocks and turning into a shattered mess of blood and flesh.

She suddenly roared out, "Come out, or I’ll kill everyone in this world!"

A twisted magic aura radiated from her hand.

— So strong!

Why could she be this powerful?

Wu Xiaode took a deep breath, looking at the two Demon Gods, Little Bone, and Olivia beside him.

"We must fight."

He said.

"Let’s fight then. With your Tao Power, we might not necessarily lose," Olivia said.

"That’s right, let’s give it a try," Little Bone said.

"Let’s fight," Rester also said.

Wu Xiaode’s gaze swept over the group.

Having gained the battle experience imparted by the Human Emperor, his perspective was no longer what it used to be; even though he couldn’t move now, he could see the situation clearly.

Whether it was Audrey, Little Bone, or the two Demon Gods.

None of them were a match for Caijing in the face of time magic.

If a battle really broke out, someone would surely die.

How infuriating...

Why was he so weak?

Must it come to this?

Wu Xiaode looked upward to the sky, only to see Caijing raising her hand high, the brilliance of the magic in her hand becoming even more dazzling.

Think fast.

Is there no other way?

No way at all?

Think fast!

Use all your strength to think!!!

Wu Xiaode gazed emptily at Caijing in the sky, when suddenly a thought emerged in his mind.
