A Sorcerer’s Journey

Chapter 1225: Chapter 1226: One-Armed Mummy

The sinister and hoarse laughter reverberated within the Silk Underworld Palace.

Empty eye sockets gazed from hollow eyes, and a gaunt body was faintly wrapped in torn bandages, as disgusting insects, with skeleton patterns wailing grievously on their backs, crawled back and forth. The One-Armed Mummy continuously swung an axe with its single arm, slashing into the air and creating shattered black fissures, dragging its body bit by bit toward the Demon Feather Phoenix.

The atmosphere of ominousness and fear spread, the mummy’s bandages scraping against the Ripple Mirror Screen emitted a sharp, piercing noise, like someone desperately rubbing two pieces of rotten wood together.

"Kill me, come on kill me, hmm hmm hmm hmm..."

As this fearsome mummy appeared, the Demon Feather Phoenix seemed frozen, its flat face seeping sweat, struggling to move but finding itself unable, even the few stray black feathers drifting around its body lightly fell.

Pop...

A Terror Magic Eye suddenly opened on the flat face of the Demon Feather Phoenix.

"Why won’t you come kill me?"

Black smoke puffed from the mummy’s mouth, sinister and hoarse, yet simultaneously mournful, the air seemed to solidify at this moment, black blood slowly flowed down from the Terror Magic Eye that opened on the Demon Feather Phoenix’s flat face.

Then, this Terror Magic Eye violently shook, appearing to want to break free from the Demon Feather Phoenix, causing the surrounding tissue and flesh to convulse, as if countless tiny insects were crawling and freezing below.

Gulp...

The Demon Feather Phoenix swallowed hard, yet still couldn’t move an inch.

Sweat on its flat face and the blood from the Terror Magic Eye both flowed down together.

From this situation, it was evident that the Demon Feather Phoenix had fallen into a deep fear illusion, prompting the nearby Ancient Heart to silently wait, surrounded by creatures bound by chaotic Temporal Fault rules, aimless and shifting like an amoeba, changing shapes endlessly.

It’s uncertain how these illusory beings view creatures of the Material World.

Do they perceive the Material World creatures as they see themselves, with different evolutionary rules between the civilizations of different Material Worlds?

Small worlds are shallow Material Worlds, while large worlds, even in the Civilization World, constitute the deepest Material Worlds, entering such entails almost certain death for illusory life forms?

Tear...

Finally, this constantly writhing eyeball suddenly broke free from the flat face of the Demon Feather Phoenix, tearing off a small chunk of flesh along with it, which was sucked into the pupil of the Thunder Demon Eye.

Now, a large piece of the Demon Feather Phoenix’s originally flat face was forcibly torn away, with dark blood oozing out, looking sinisterly brutal, extremely pitiful, yet with "Pop," "Pop," "Pop," three sounds, magic eyes opened on left arm, chest, and right shoulder, blood slowly flowing down, eyeballs shaking continuously as if desperate to break free from the body, struggling wildly.

"It worked, he’s completely trapped in your world of fear!"

The Ancient Heart’s jubilant will echoed.

"Heh heh, he’s being swallowed by endless fear, such marvelous blood, wanting to devour our blood? Let fear devour you first."

Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop...

More and more Terror Magic Eyes opened on the Demon Feather Phoenix, constantly writhing and ripping away surrounding flesh, being drawn into the pupil of the Thunder Demon Eye, patches here and there, even the flesh patches carrying copious amounts of demonic qi entwined feathers, enduring unimaginable torment in ceaseless pain and fear, as if being sliced by a thousand knives.

"Kill me, kill me now..."

The One-Armed Mummy rasped and shrieked, slowly crawling with its axe through spatial fissures, reaching the Demon Feather Phoenix trapped in boundless fear illusion, the axe mingled with abundant bloodstains and shattered flesh on the pieces of rotten wood, descending unhurriedly.

This time the target of attack was not space, but the Demon Feather Phoenix enveloped in a fear illusion!

...

"Succeeded!?"

Despite nearing its Nether Transformation limit, the Nether Spider King did not stir Green’s joy as the Three-Colored Light Eyes beneath the Face of Truth bore witness even as Green prepared to counterattack.

Compared to the threat of the Nether Spider King, Green with the comprehensive insight of the Face of Truth, though disadvantaged in the self-sealing technique state, could always attempt to resolve it through explosive means. However, the Nameless Ancient Demon, as the Wizards’ nemesis who had vanquished the Ancient Wizard, now evolved into the horror civilization of the void with its unique and powerful abilities.

Currently in the Dimensional Esophagus, the Nameless Ancient Demon’s strongest Abyssal Summoning ability couldn’t be unleashed, and its true form was likewise suppressed by the Silk Underworld Palace, unable to function, only exhibiting Demonization so far. According to Green’s conjecture, irrespective of other Abyssal Demons’ capabilities, this Abyssal Demon must possess unique parasitic slumber ability!

The Nether Spider King’s Nether Transformation duration isn’t particularly long, amplification purely explosive, being amidst the Silk Underworld Palace at this moment, its aftermath must be considerably less than Green’s Self-sealing Technique.

"Hiss!"

Suddenly, whether the Nether Spider King was waiting for this moment or not, at the peak of its Nether Transformation, concurrent with the Demon Feather Phoenix’s crucial moment, Green’s divided mind state, after a hissing sound, exhibited some entirely new changes.

On its back, the pattern abruptly formed a massive dark red magic array, emanating unsettling blood-churning hues.

Correspondingly, centered on Green, magic arrays emerged on the Silk Underworld Palace’s floor and ceiling, over a hundred meters each, as if the pattern formed crawling spiders, densely packed, creating a super confinement array mutually.

In an indistinct manner, a gigantic patterned spider web phantom appeared out of thin air, with Green trapped at its center, firmly bound.

"Huh!?"

Utterly unexpected to Green, body movements constrained by unknown energy waves within the Silk Underworld Palace, as the Nether Spider King’s poisonous fang made its final piercing air assault, the amber ring at the chest flashed, seemingly forming a dim yellow mirror screen in front.

"Puff," the poisonous fang spinning fast within the amber ring, surprisingly distorted and deformed the amber ring mirror screen, constantly advancing towards Green’s main body.

Having nurtured within Green for over three thousand years, supported by world tree resin, the amber ring now seemed unable to withstand!

Crackling!

Opening its mouth, light and darkness entwined, Green’s Annihilation Electric Arc shattered the dark red pattern array above the Silk Underworld Palace. Unlike any previous attack within the Silk Underworld Palace that was decomposed by a massive energy source, at this moment, Green’s Annihilation Electric Arc effortlessly pierced a hole.

"Puff," rancid sticky wilderness dropped, along with numerous organs of Venom Spider transformed by Metamorphosis Technique.

"Is this Silk Underworld Palace nearing its limit?"

In astonishment, Green sees these metamorphosed limbs and remarks in disbelief: "The Metamorphosis Technique just now ignored the suppression stance by the Silk Underworld Palace!"
