Beast Taming Patrol

Chapter 1588: Chapter 444: The Final Battle (2) (Countdown to Finale: 6)

"Don’t even think about succeeding!"

The Death King, closest to the Life King, shouted vehemently, and countless grotesque arms suddenly emerged from the indescribable fog mass.

Each of these terrifying arms was studded with numerous bone spurs, exuding a dreadful aura of death, enough to annihilate everything it touched even with just a trace escaping.

These arms quickly enveloped the space where Tata was, like a vast net rapidly descending upon Tata. If hit by these arms, Tata would undoubtedly suffer severe injuries in an instant.

However, Tata seemed completely unaware of this terrifying crisis, as their eyes remained fixated on the direction of the Life King, not sparing the Death King a glance.

Because they knew, the other teammates would shield them from this strike.

"Are you not taking me seriously enough?"

Gugui’s mask flickered slightly, and a massive black claw looming behind swiftly solidified, each Claw Blade extremely sharp, seemingly capable of tearing through the void effortlessly.

The giant claw reached toward the Death King, appearing exceedingly slow, yet, with spatial distortion, it instantly arrived in front of the countless arms extended by the Death King.

In the netherworld behind Gugui, countless hell inhabitants cloaked in black robes murmured strangely, as mysterious runes fell upon the giant claw, empowering it.

Nine Nether Pavilion’s Secret Technique, "Soul Herding Technique – Billion Souls Return!"

Over the millennia on Blue Star, the native inhabitants in Gugui’s netherworld, under its careful nurture, were no longer of the previous thousand-scale magnitude.

Not only had their numbers grown exponentially, but each hell inhabitant also possessed formidable spirituality, as the netherworld gradually transformed into a true world, bringing them closer to becoming true living beings.

At the moment Gugui ascended to myth, the netherworld, driven by Gugui, also broke through earthly shackles, transforming into a complete world!

Worlds also vary in size.

Compared to worlds like Blue Star and God Martial, Gugui’s netherworld was far different in scale.

Yet in essence, there was no longer much difference!

And the hell inhabitants, at the moment the netherworld became a complete world, transformed with the netherworld, thereby truly becoming living beings.

This was the ultimate goal pursued by the Nine Nether Pavilion throughout its existence: transforming souls into spirits!

The strong within the Nine Nether Pavilion established their path using the underworld river as a foundation.

Their greatest pursuit was to establish a world of souls using the underworld river, thereby creating an order of life and death, transcending beyond the cycle of reincarnation.

Unfortunately, they had already headed toward decline before reaching that level.

And now, Gugui had achieved halfway!

Though it hadn’t comprehended the order of life and death, it already established a world of souls, completing the process of transforming souls into spirits.

And the transformation of souls into spirits resulted in an unprecedented surge in all secret techniques within the "Soul Herding Technique"!

This Billion Souls Return is one of the most challenging secret techniques within the Soul Herding Technique.

The difficulty of casting it is akin to ascending to heaven, primarily because it truly requires a billion souls to perform!

If not for Gugui’s souls having the ability to reproduce under its protection for a millennium, possessing such a quantity would have been impossible!

And the secret technique performed at such immense energy cost naturally possesses mysterious and unfathomable power.

Billion Souls Return can channel the power of a billion souls, attaching it to Gugui’s path in a special way.

With their empowerment, Gugui’s principles instantly took a significant step forward, its power surging to the peak!

The empowered giant claw expanded violently with the wind, instantaneously splitting into billions under the path of the nether, each shadow seemingly carrying a piece of the netherworld, fiercely slashing at the terrifying arms extended by the Death King, as if ready to shatter the world with one strike!

The Death King let out a muffled groan; countless arms were severed under this earth-shattering hit.

Its aura declined rapidly, the ink-like putrid blood splattering across the world, with everything it touched shrouded under the power of death.

Gugui’s sudden outburst caught the Death King, with its severed arms, off guard, inflicting wounds to its core.

Bearing the intense pain, the Death King suddenly raised its head and looked toward Gugui in terror.

Splitting into billions, this is...

"The power of the King?!"

In the Death King’s eyes, the power Gugui just exhibited seemed remarkably similar to the means of the Time Master.

Gugui didn’t answer, and with a swift movement, it was already in front of the Death King.

The black robe fluttered in the void, silently enveloping a dark blue ghostly fire, with runes flickering on the faceless mask, and the massive claw faintly appearing behind in the void concealed a murderous intent.

Behind it, the netherworld surged, seemingly ready to descend at any moment.

At that moment, it seemed more like the sovereign of death than the wretched Death King before it.

Gugui’s other claw slowly extended, encompassing everything surrounding the Death King in an instant with an irresistible, unavoidable terror.

Under the empowerment of endless runes, this strike seemed capable of annihilating the world, shattering the sky and earth.

In the Death King’s severely injured state, if it faced this strike head-on, it would undoubtedly fall on the spot!

"Your path is truly weak."

"I’ve secured first place in the team competition!"

"Damn it!" In the face of a life-and-death crisis, the Death King’s scarlet eyes erupted with extreme killing intent.
