Chapter 541: Chapter 427 Evernight City

Wu Xiaode stood his ground.

The turmoil descended from the Void, instantly becoming immensely majestic and enormous.

Billions of black branches forming the throne collapsed with a thunderous roar—

It wasn’t because Shen Xiujun had done something, but rather they had instinctively reacted on their own.

All the branches swept over, converging out of thin air into a dark conduit as thick as an arm, stabbing into Wu Xiaode’s chest with its sharp tip.

"Puff!"

Wu Xiaode spat out a mouthful of blood, suspended motionless in midair.

The sound of liquid flowing resonated from within the black conduit, as if something was being injected into Wu Xiaode’s body.

"Huh?"

Shen Xiujun was taken aback and blurted out, "This is impossible, how can you transform into one of us?"

Wu Xiaode clenched his teeth, enduring the intense pain, his consciousness becoming somewhat blurry.

Damn it.

I won’t transform into one of you.

This is—

It’s—

Memories re-emerged in his mind.

When he first awakened "Sighs of the Wall," when he had first gained "Silent Demon Mist," the wall had offered a warning:

"Death has an engulfing attribute, you can only enhance the power of your Death Skill by sacrificing other skills."

"Death has no end, the abilities of death also have no end."

Those two sentences had made a deep impression on him.

—Without an end to this power, how strong could it become?

The memory shifted.

Another scene emerged in Wu Xiaode’s mind.

It was in Qian Mingkui’s martial hall.

He had sacrificed the Slaughter Spear Skill, thus enhancing the Silent Demon Mist.

Yes!

That’s exactly the ability the Wall of Despairing Sighs had.

Sacrificing willpower and various other skills—

To fully enhance the Death Skill!

"Come on!"

Wu Xiaode roared, grabbing the black conduit at his chest:

"Whatever you are, give me all of your power!"

I will convert it into the Power of Death.

—The Power of Death that you’ve always been unable to counter!!!

Not far opposite him.

Shen Xiujun raised her hand slowly, lowered it again, raised her hand, then lowered it once more.

She had never encountered such a being before.

—Why would such a person exist in this world?

Could he really transform himself into an existence like a Demon Lord of Calamity?

If he became a Demon Lord...

Should I kill him, or welcome him?

Shen Xiujun bit her lip, suddenly making up her mind.

She lifted her hand and said in a low voice, "Regardless, I’m in human form now. If you turn into a Demon Lord of Calamity, you might threaten my safety."

"I’ll trap you first!"

Countless beams of light, like black threads, burst forth from her arm, thundering towards Wu Xiaode.

Almost at the same moment.

Wu Xiaode looked sharply towards the Void, as if he saw something unbelievable.

He opened his mouth wide, his eyes filled with shock, frozen in place for a moment.

Only when those countless black threads flew before him did he suddenly come to his senses.

"Activate."

He spoke in a low voice.

In the blink of an eye, Wu Xiaode disappeared from his spot.

All the black threads fell into the Void, not even touching his body.

Shen Xiujun was stunned.

With a flash, she dashed forward, reaching out to touch the conduit that had been embedded in Wu Xiaode’s chest.

Crack—

As soon as her hand touched the black conduit, the entire conduit instantly turned to ash.

Shen Xiujun’s face changed dramatically, she exclaimed;

"This is bad, this isn’t a conversion technique, he really withstood the Power of Infinite Tribulation."

For a mere mortal, it’s unknown by what means, but it was indeed breathtaking.

How did he do it?

What’s next? What to do?

Why can a creature achieve this step?

Shen Xiujun suddenly recalled something.

"That’s it... Those Heroic Spirits must have helped him with all their might..."

"Plus, he has some secret I don’t know about, so he withstood and absorbed the Power of Infinite Tribulation."

"This situation is serious."

Shen Xiujun’s expression became solemn, her hand lightly pressing into the Void.

Countless Destruction Runes condensed out of thin air into a massive wall of Law, which she pressed against with her hand.

"I, the Catastrophe Master of the First Calamity and Feeding Demon Master, hereby request a connection."

Shen Xiujun spoke.

Glimmers of light appeared on the wall of Law, as if some presence had responded to her call.

...

Time stood still at that very instant.

Shen Xiujun was still hesitating about whether to make a move when Wu Xiaode suddenly encountered an anomaly.

A massive wall, heavy and dark, loomed before his eyes.

—The Wall of Sighs that no living being could surpass!

Rows of ice crystal letters appeared on the wall:

"Devouring complete."

"Destruction and Death offer dual meanings of ’liberation,’ alike to a raft and its essence. Securing one would culminate in the aggregation of power, and now you possess both fish and bear’s paw."

"Through this sacrifice, the Wall of Sighs has wholly absorbed the Power of Infinite Tribulation from ’Destruction’."

"The formidable twin Laws begin to form an ’emergence.’

"—Death can devour everything, even Destruction."

All prompt runes flickered and vanished, replaced by a fresh series of ice crystal letters:

"Your Silent Demon Mist begins to ascend in an unheard-of manner."

"There is no limit to the ascent of your Death Skills; your Silent Demon Mist has reached an unknown realm, evolving into the Emergent Divine Skill of ancient times:

"Everday City."

"Divine Skill, a Death Skill unknown to all, the emerging shadow from the abyss, the residual entropy of chaos."

Wu Xiaode couldn’t help but be taken aback.

It was common knowledge that beings gain titles and monikers, but he had never imagined that skills could possess names too.

This was unheard of!

Eager, he looked down:

"Attention!"

"This skill, by the name of ’unknown to all,’ orders the Bone phone 2 max to forcibly shut down its camera."

"By the power of its name, this skill cannot be shared, promoted, or made known to others."

"Skill description:"

"Create a fragment of a parallel world."

"This fragment can, within the span of three days you inhabit, swap other existences based on a certain moment in time, making them into your substitute at that moment."

"You may reveal this parallel world fragment or conceal it (default is concealment)."

"When you conceal it, the title ’unknown to all’ instantly activates, and you will be hidden along with the fragment, undetectable by those outside of this parallel world."

"—Both Destruction and Death emerge to their extremes, snatching a glimpse of Everday City from endless chaos for your use."

Wu Xiaode’s thoughts raced like lightning.

However, before he could grasp the full utility of this ability, Shen Xiujun opposite him had already lifted her hand.

"No matter what, I am now in human form; once you turn into a Demon of Tribulation, you may threaten my safety,"

Shen Xiujun declared, "Better to trap you first!"

Countless streaks of light, like threads of black silk, burst from her arms and thundered towards Wu Xiaode.

There was no time left!

—"Abyssal Reflection," a Super High Level Death Skill evolved from the "Silent Demon Mist," surely could help him evade Shen Xiujun!

Wu Xiaode felt uneasy in his heart, but at that moment had no other recourse.

"Activate!"

He uttered in a low shout.

In an instant.

Shen Xiujun’s Magic had reached right in front of Wu Xiaode, looming over him.

Wu Xiaode stood rooted to the spot, unable to move.

Strands of dark light shone upon him, entwining—

All to no avail!

Shen Xiujun looked directly at Wu Xiaode.

But her gaze passed right through him as if she couldn’t see him at all.

Wu Xiaode paused for several breaths, then suddenly noticed faint flames like luminescent glass lighting up around him.

Amid this glow, it seemed he was parting ways with the world.

"Is this the hidden fragment of a parallel world..."

Wu Xiaode murmured to himself.

The fragment was too small, enveloping only him.

However—

It appeared that Shen Xiujun, the Feeding Demon Master, truly couldn’t see him.

He lifted his hand and waved at Shen Xiujun.

She paid him no heed.

That’s right.

The fragment was in a default state of concealment.

He was also hidden from view.

Before Wu Xiaode could celebrate, he saw Shen Xiujun raise her hand and, with an endless array of runes condensed into a wall, start communicating with something.

"Could she be contacting other Demons of Tribulation? No, I can’t just watch her find a way to deal with me."

A ripple of tension crossed Wu Xiaode’s heart.

He too stretched out his hand and lightly pressed it into the Void.

Everday City could take him back to any moment within the span of three days—

Then, on his command, seek a replacement.

Moment in time...

To which moment should he go?

An idea flared in Wu Xiaode’s mind as he abruptly shouted:

"Go—"

"Take me to that initial moment!"

Fierce luminescent flames burst forth from his body, soared into the Void, and vanished.
