Chapter 534: Chapter 422: The Unexpected Confrontation

The Qilin pursued for a while when suddenly the Birdman’s body burst apart.

"See you, dead dog."

Ulysses cried out flamboyantly and dissolved into the Void.

The visage of Qilin grew grim.

Several Dragons hurried over and anxiously said:

"Emperor, the treasure hidden in the statue has been stolen."

"I know," Qilin said.

"But we didn’t see the enemy."

"I know that as well."

Qilin pondered for a few moments, muttering to himself:

"...It must be an extremely sophisticated Concealing Skill. There is only one way now."

The Dragons seemed to recall something, shuddering collectively and exclaimed loudly:

"Please reconsider, Emperor."

"No need for more words," Qilin sneered, "I have endured till now to come forth, wishing to dominate the world, yet a human traitor meddles with my plans. If I do not avenge this, wouldn’t it be laughable to other demons?"

The Dragons, sensing the killing intent surging from him, involuntarily closed their mouths.

Qilin stood in place, forming Sealing with both hands, chanting under his breath. After more than ten moments, he merged the Dharma Seal and spat a mouthful of blood into the air, murmuring:

"With my divine blood, I offer it to thee, Unity, God-beating Whip, come forth!"

The Void trembled ceaselessly.

—As if something was about to break through the air.

...

Elsewhere.

Wu Xiaode found a secluded forest, and opened the Book of the Dead.

On a previously blank page of the book, a shimmering card had appeared.

Lines of ice crystal small characters emerged beside the card:

"Under the crushing force of the infinite calamities, many Laws perished along with the destruction of the Infinite World."

"Among them, after the destruction of some Laws, this object was formed:"

"Eternal Night Star."

"Special Card, the sorrow of all beings and things, surge of death, one of the graveyard deck of Laws."

"Description: Using it can skip the process of a certain event and arrive directly at its best outcome."

"Can be used once every seven days."

"Cannot be used against beings of calamity; otherwise, it will certainly be taken away by them."

"Message from the Death God:"

"I saw the broken vitality clinging to this card, so I left it for you."

"If you can gather the ’graveyard deck of Laws’ without them being taken by the beings of calamity, then we truly have a ray of hope."

Wu Xiaode unconsciously held his breath.

So that’s how it is!

After all the Laws were strangled by the beings of calamity, such a card was created.

He abruptly closed the Book of the Dead.

—Quick, keep it safe, don’t let anyone see!

No, wait!

He released even more Silent Demon Mist.

Amidst the thick fog, he frantically reopened the Book of the Dead, looking at the card.

—This card was so important that he was somewhat flustered.

No time to waste.

Who knows if Shen Xiujun possesses some time-related abilities, what if she follows here; wouldn’t that be a problem?

"The graveyard deck of Laws" is crucial; I must not let her know!

Then—

With a thought, Wu Xiaode softly said:

"Book of the Dead, use the Eternal Night Star right now to let it complete my Death God Trial."

"Yes," the Book of the Dead responded.

The next instant.

The card named "Eternal Night Star" burst forth with a strange glow.

The light fell upon Wu Xiaode, casting a long row of shadows behind him.

The shadows all stirred.

They resembled multiple Wu Xiaodes, each holding the Book of the Dead and leaping valiantly into the Void, entering an unknown realm.

—They went on behalf of Wu Xiaode to the Death God Trial!

In a moment.

All the shadows returned to their places.

The long row of shadows disappeared, leaving only the last one.

This shadow firmly settled beneath Wu Xiaode, becoming his only shadow.

Lines of ice crystal small characters subsequently emerged:

"Trial complete."

"Congratulations."

"In this trial, you achieved the highest rating, having passed all tests perfectly. Therefore, you receive the following rewards:"

"All your Soul Power is converted into Eternal Soul Power, with the amount: 510/510."

"You now have five chances to enhance Skill Levels."

"Which Death Skill would you like to enhance?"

Without hesitation, Wu Xiaode said, "Silent Demon Mist."

There was a pause.

In the Void, it seemed as if infinite Power of Death was flowing, all channeled into his body through the Book of the Dead as a medium.

"Ah, ah, ah, ah!"

The power continuously washed over his body, causing Wu Xiaode to burst out in an uncontrollable roar.

—Grant me new power.

At least enough to deceive Shen Xiujun!

He gasped deeply until the tumultuous fluctuations of Soul Power in his body gradually subsided.

Lines of ice crystal small characters subsequently emerged:

"The Demon Mist has been upgraded by 5 levels, acquiring the following attributes:"

"1. Netherworld Dark Veil (Dense);"

"The current concealment ability of the Demon Mist firmly ranks at this legendary level, having doubled compared to before;"

"It is said that somewhere in the Death World, the Netherworld Dark Veil envelops everything, and any being entering it will lose all sensory abilities;"

"2. Ethereal Lone Swan Shadow;"

"When you are in the Demon Mist, no force can restrict your actions. Even if someone hits you, they cannot receive any feedback nor detect your existence, and the damage you take is reduced by 90%."

"Note:"

"Your Demon Mist has reached a very high level. Your Demon Mist Skill: Shadow Followers has undergone a qualitative leap."

"Shadow Followers has been upgraded from ’sub-level’ to ’high-level’."

"Added effect:"

"You can now designate a target anytime, make them a Shadow Follower, and summon them to your presence, overcoming the barrier of space and time."

Done!

Not only has the Silent Demon Mist been upgraded, but the abilities of the Demon Mist Skill: Shadow Followers have also been greatly enhanced!

Wu Xiaode showed a look of delight.

However, the Book of the Dead automatically flipped to the "Wall of Wishes" page, and the voice of the Human Emperor came from the wall:

"Run."

"Hmm? Why?" Wu Xiaode couldn’t help but ask.

"The Qilin is after you, it has summoned a formidable treasure that you cannot handle!" urged the Human Emperor.

That harsh?

The Qilin is really stingy.

Wu Xiaode couldn’t help but complain inwardly.

—All I did was destroy its city, kill all its Evil Soldiers, and steal the pages and cards it was collecting, and it wants to fight me?

If there’s a treasure I can’t handle, then I better not fight.

"How can I get back?" Wu Xiaode hurriedly asked.

"Switch bodies, this world will directly reject you, and you will be kicked back to your original world," the Human Emperor explained.

Without hesitation, Wu Xiaode switched back to his own body.

Immediately, a force of rejection pulsed through the Void.

After feeling it carefully, Wu Xiaode felt as though he was about to be squeezed out of this world by this strange power.

Safe!

He had just breathed a sigh of relief in his heart when suddenly, a change occurred—

A long whip pierced through the Silent Demon Mist and wrapped around him seven or eight times, binding him on the spot.

Wu Xiaode found himself stripped of all power, as feeble as a mere mortal.

The Qilin emerged from the mist.

It held the handle of the whip and laughed loudly:

"Ha ha ha, your Concealing Skill is strong indeed, but it’s nothing compared to this Dharma Seal!"

Wu Xiaode was thinking of a plan when he suddenly felt the repulsive force reaching its peak.

The next instant—

With a "whoosh," he pierced through the Void and fell toward an unknown place.

"Thinking of running?"

The Qilin shouted angrily, grabbing the whip and following him.

The earth spun around.

The second hand ticked once.

Wu Xiaode’s feet landed on solid ground.

The off-road vehicle was still parked beside the road, its door left open.

Wu Xiaode looked down.

—He was still bound by the whip.

The Qilin was still holding the handle of the whip.

A man, a Qilin, and a whip, all had arrived alongside the desert road.

The Qilin looked around.

This guy escaped to another time-space, huh...

Why does he look different?

"God-beating Whip—" the Qilin hesitated.

"There’s no mistake, it’s him," a voice from the whip responded.

Relieved, a fierce and murderous smile slowly appeared on the Qilin’s face:

"Human traitor Li Chengfeng, don’t tell me you’ve changed your appearance; even if you’re burnt to ashes, you’ll die by my hand today."

"Who says?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"I say so—even the robber of demons wouldn’t be able to help you!" the Qilin thundered.

It started to prepare a powerful Magic.

Wu Xiaode couldn’t help but sigh and murmured softly:

"Xiujun, stop cleaning the house; someone is bullying me."

Whoosh—

A blur appeared in the air.

A beautiful young girl appeared before the Qilin and the whip.

She looked at the Qilin and then at the whip.

Suddenly the whip spoke:

"This is not my time-space, the dangers are numerous, it’s not wise to linger, I’m leaving."

The whip suddenly retracted from Wu Xiaode’s body and disappeared into the Void in an instant.

The Qilin was left on the spot.

The girl stared at the Qilin.

"Are you bullying Brother Wu?"

She asked timidly.

The Qilin was somewhat at a loss, but then felt it was just a human girl.

So it nodded.

"Really not even giving face to the robber of demons?"

The girl asked another question.

Her fair and beautiful face showed confusion and incomprehension, and she looked even somewhat scared.
