Chapter 626: Divide the Winners and Losers

Three minutes.

Only three minutes left!

The battle in the sky was becoming increasingly intense.

「 Stop! Idiot, if we keep fighting like this, wouldn’t that brat be the one taking advantage of the situation? 」 the Nightmare King roared.

「 Let’s survive first, then think of a way to deal with him — — - regardless of how you look at it, he’s nothing but a newly born World-class lifeform, he’s no match for us. 」 the other Nightmare King said.

Time jumped forward by a bit.

— — -only two minutes left!

The two of them charged towards each other at once.

The sound of battle resounded in the sky.

At the same time.

Liu Ping ended his meditation and stood several hundred miles away, seriously observing the Nightmare King’s battle.

"One minute left." God reminded him.

"Hm, I’ll take this chance to observe its battle." Liu Ping replied.

"That’s right, in the main timeline, the real Nightmare King is still waiting to eat you." Mother Earth commented.

"Did you escape into a parallel timeline?" Master Pao asked.

"That’s right." God, Mother Earth, and Liu Ping answered at once.

"... You really are something." Master Pao commented.

" Everyone, I can sense the presence of death." The Goddess of Death suddenly spoke up.

The Divinities instantly went silent.

Liu Ping looked up at the sky, only to see that the two Nightmare Kings were still fighting without a clear victor.

Their bodies were covered in wounds and bleeding profusely, both of them were on their last breaths.

「 Alright, I don’t even have the strength to fight anymore — — - let’s not fight anymore, let’s see who survives. 」

The Nightmare King angrily declared.

The other Nightmare King also stopped.

A short moment later.

One of the Nightmare Kings abruptly howled in pain.

Its entire body rapidly expanded and exploded in the air, turning into clouds of blood mist.

Liu Ping put his hand on the hilt of the Blade at his waist and spoke: "It’s time."

As soon as he said that, he vanished.

In the sky.

The only remaining Nightmare King was resting.

「 Brat, accept the duel — — 」

Just as it was about to send out an invitation for another battle, it saw that the void around it was rapidly changing, turning into a lifeless desert.

This was another world!

「 Ambush? Damn it ... what a good timing ... 」

The Nightmare King gasped for breath.

Liu Ping suddenly appeared behind it, both hands wielding the Blade — — -

In that instant.

The tiredness on Nightmare King’s face suddenly disappeared.

Its spirit changed and it no longer looked dejected. Its eyes were full of hatred as it gritted its teeth and said,

「I’ve been waiting for you for a long time, die!」

The Four Great Laws formed numerous runes in the void, limiting the battle between the two of them so that it wouldn’t cause too much damage to the world.

It turned out that it still had the strength to launch such a powerful attack!

Endless dark hands surged out from its back and grabbed Liu Ping in an instant, lifting him high into the air.

「Hahaha, we were actually faking it in the end. You didn’t see it, did you? No matter if it died or I died, we both left some strength behind.」

Nightmare King laughed maniacally.

It tore with all its might.

Liu Ping’s body was torn apart.

Blood splattered everywhere.

A vermicelli doll fell from the corpse.

The Nightmare King heaved a sigh of relief and reached out to catch the doll.

「I finally got it back.」

It rejoiced.

Although this battle was dangerous, in the end, he was still one step ahead and achieved victory in one fell swoop.

The surrounding desert gradually receded.

Everything faded away.

The Nightmare King returned to the sky.

But as soon as it did, the scenery in the sky and on the ground began to blur.

— — -an Inauspicious fate!

"Damn it, when exactly will this damned Apocalypse end?"

The Nightmare King was carefully preparing for the battle.

Everything disappeared.

A new scenery appeared.

It found itself standing in the middle of the Nightmare Manor, the sky was filled with dragons.

「Sir, please save us!」The Manor Master hurriedly ran over and loudly begged.

「Speak, what’s the current situation?」 Nightmare King asked in a low voice.

「All the dragons have arrived, they want to destroy the manor!」 the Manor Master replied.

「Is there a dragon called ’Ash’?」Nightmare King asked.

「There isn’t」 the Manor Master replied.

「There isn’t ... then that’s good」Nightmare King sighed in relief.

It looked up at the dragons hovering in the sky and muses, 「Although my situation isn’t particularly good, there shouldn’t be any issues with this battle. Prepare enough fruits for me to replenish—— 」

Clang — – sha — –

A cold gleam of Blade phantom flashed and left a lingering crack in the void of space on Nightmare King’s neck.

Nightmare King’s voice abruptly stopped for a split second.

If one were to slow down time at this moment, they would be able to see its head flying off from its neck, slowly floating in the air, tumbling, and flying away — — -

At the same time, countless long black hands emerged from its body, some of them quickly forming all sorts of hand seals.

「 Ahahaha, I’ve never seen someone like you before, but unfortunately for you, I have countless spells at my disposal. 」

Nightmare King’s head laughed wildly in the air and continued: 「 Take a look, a newbie like you wouldn’t know how many defensive measures I’ve hidden away — — 」

Another large cluster of hands emerged from its body, scattering a large number of treasures into the air.

「 You’re done for! 」

Even more black hands appeared and attacked Manor Lord’s body.

The Manor Lord wielded his Blade and continuously unleashed Blade phantoms to block the black hands. At the same time, his appearance continuously changed until he turned into another person.

Liu Ping.

"Slash!"

He roared and swung his saber at the impenetrable black hand. The saber was infused with all of his power, so much so that he became one with the saber. The saber went straight through the Nightmare King’s body.

The Blade phantom faded.

Liu Ping reappeared and ran a few steps forward to slow down his momentum.

Nightmare King’s headless body stood still not too far behind him.

Liu Ping turned around.

Only to see the countless hands behind Nightmare King forming hand seals, but not a single spell took effect.

The scattered treasures had already fallen to the ground, giving off a resounding noise.

— — -And also didn’t trigger any effect.

A line of blood flowed down from the headless body’s neck, through its chest and abdomen, splitting its entire body from the middle.

Rip — —

Its body was completely separated from the middle, leaving behind a straight line of blood where it had been.

The battle was over.

Wielding his Blade, Liu Ping walked up to Nightmare King’s head and silently observed it.

The Nightmare King’s head revealed a thoughtful expression and said, 「Everything just now was fake?」

"That doll was real," Liu Ping replied.

「 So it was the only one that was real? 」 Nightmare King asked.

"Yes." Liu Ping replied.

While they were talking, the dragon in the sky disappeared.

The manor disappeared.

The two of them stood on top of a patch of yellow sand.

The world was empty, barren without anything else.

From the looks of it, from the moment Liu Ping was ambushed and killed, including the appearance of the [Ominous Fate], everything was an illusion.

「 Chopping off my head wasn’t enough to kill me. I clearly used countless spells and treasures to remedy the situation, but why didn’t any of them work? 」 Nightmare King asked again.

"It’s because I wanted to kill you." Liu Ping replied.

「 So that’s why ... this is your world’s elemental attribute ... I’ve never heard of such an elemental attribute. Normally, everyone would choose to use all sorts of strange powers, the more unknown they are, the more popular they are ... no one has ever chosen to ban all powers 」 Nightmare King was confused.

"Because I’ve always had a dream, to let you experience what it feels like to be in front of all living beings." Liu Ping replied.

「 I’ll never be a mortal, I’m the King of nightmares! 」 Nightmare King glared at him.

Liu Ping smiled, crouched down, and looked at him: "See, you died no different from all living beings, so can you feel the pain and despair of a mortal?"

「 That’s because you deceived me! You even stole my treasures — — - you despicable and cunning bastard! 」 Nightmare King angrily roared.

"I’m too weak, it’s not easy to survive, I hope you can understand." Liu Ping sincerely replied.

Nightmare King spoke in a low voice:

「 I want to declare ... that I’ll never be the trash you described me to be ... 」

He stopped moving.

Liu Ping continued to stand still.

A few moments later.

Lines of burning words quickly appeared in his mind:

[... Prelude]

[You’ve propped up your world]

[— — Activated world elemental attribute: Absolute Prohibition!]

[All of your illusions and spells, as well as all of Nightmare King’s spells and treasures, have been completely prohibited from being used]

[You must fight it out with your own hands]

[You’ve killed it]

[The battle is over]

All the text retracted.

Even more burning text appeared in front of Liu Ping’s eyes: [’Joy of Slaughter’ activated!]

[Nine Serenities Secret Technique activated!]

[Power of Apocalypse activated!]

[Your battle against the other party has ended. Due to this victory, you will reclaim your wealth that was deducted and obtain everything of the other party!]

[The detailed calculations are as follows:]
