Chapter 2977: Chapter 1394: Unsealing the Death God
Chen Mobai, Spiritual Venerable, and Qian Xing stood in a triangular formation amidst the cosmic starry sky.
As Qian Xing performed the seal formula, the Star-Drawing Sword that pierced the Heavenly Calculation Bead began to hum, attempting to break free.
With every tremor of the Star-Drawing Sword, a crack appeared on the Heavenly Calculation Bead, and soon cracks spread across the entire bead, shattering into precisely one hundred and eight pieces.
Each fragment resembled a star, interconnected by chains of starlight. Following the program Qian Xing set before his death in the previous life, it continued to function as a sealing mechanism, trying to reassemble and suppress the dark cloak at the core.
The Death God Incarnation was evidently aware of the sudden loosening of what was once an unbreakable seal. Though unaware of the reason, it did not let the opportunity slip.
A terrifying surge of Death Qi erupted, and the Star-Drawing Sword that had pierced the cloak seemed to be gripped by countless ghostly claws, slowly being pulled out.
The fragments of the Heavenly Calculation Bead trembled violently, and the chains of starlight could no longer hold, suddenly exploding.
A black beam of death light spread irresistibly, as if an abyssal mouth opened, devouring towards the cosmic starry sky, refining the void into spiritual energy to replenish the origin lost during years of being sealed.
In an instant, the void began to collapse.
It was as if a black hole had appeared out of thin air, swallowing even the light completely.
Meanwhile, the Star-Drawing Sword that pierced the Death God’s cloak was completely pulled out.
A roar echoed through heaven and earth, and black mist surged from the cloak like a tide, rapidly swelling into a vague humanoid form.
This was the formidable enemy who once nearly brought about the extinction of the Immortal Gate—the Death God Incarnation!
It was entwined with the Great Dao of Death, causing the Heavenly Calculation Bead fragments that attempted to recombine to dim, while the blade of the Star-Drawing Sword, held by death ghost claws, showed signs of decay.
"I have finally emerged, and I will bring that planet to its inevitable deathly silence..."
Before the Death God’s cold words could finish, a hand suddenly emerged from the void, ignoring his expanding Great Dao of Death, and pressed down on the hilt of the Star-Drawing Sword, then gave a heavy push.
In an instant, this Sixth Rank sword erupted with brilliant Saintly Virtue Pure Light, burning all ghostly claws into nothingness, and even pierced the dark cloak once more.
The Death God let out a tragic scream.
"Friend, you seem not to grasp the situation clearly!"
Chen Mobai’s words sounded, and the Saintly Virtue Pure Light, like a rising sun, broke through the materialized Great Dao of Death in this section of the cosmic starry sky.
"It’s you. You have achieved Cultivating Void!"
The Death God Incarnation looked at Chen Mobai, who had broken through his Great Dao, and was shocked.
When he was sealed, Chen Mobai was merely a Nascent Soul Cultivator.
Although within the seal he couldn’t sense the passage of time, upon emerging and merging again with the Great Dao of Death, the Death God realized he’d been sealed for less than two hundred years.
In such a short span, even the most gifted of the Underworld Race on Ming Wang Star would likely be only at Rank-5.
To advance directly from Nascent Soul to Cultivating Void.
This talent seemed exaggerated.
Moreover...
The Death God Incarnation sensed the Saintly Virtue Pure Light that easily penetrated his Great Dao of Death, causing an intense shock within.
[Innate Great Dao!]
As one who has reached Cultivating Void, the Death God Incarnation understood the value of the Innate Great Dao in Cultivating Void.
After thousands of years of bitter cultivation, he had barely reached the threshold of the Innate Life and Death Great Dao.
Yet this youngster before him surpassed his nearly millennia-long efforts in less than two hundred years.
How unjust is the heavens!
For the first time, the always indifferent Death God Incarnation felt a surge of jealousy within, as two scarlet flames burned beneath the cloak like eyes, fixed on Chen Mobai.
"Friend, today we have unsealed you for a matter where we’d like your assistance," Chen Mobai spoke calmly.
Beside him, Spiritual Venerable’s pupils glinted with profound Immortal Light, eager to see if the Death God could be a bit more stubborn.
Qian Xing, however, was forming seals with his hands, a bit distressed as he retrieved the Sixth Rank Heavenly Calculation Bead’s fragments from the Great Dao of Death. After the Death God’s power impact, these fragments were somewhat tainted and damaged, uncertain if they could be restored to Sixth Rank.
"What is it?"
The Death God knew that this incarnation’s power was far inferior to his true body, merely manifesting through the cloak magical artifact. Against ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivators, he could still fight, but against the Innate Saintly Virtue Great Dao, his chances were slim, so he decided to first listen to what Chen Mobai wanted.
"After my wife sealed you, she used Sword Intent Perception to sense your Great Dao fluctuations to search for your true body. I want to know how she is now."
Chen Mobai’s expression was solemn, eyes burning with Saintly Virtue Radiance, as the Void Sky Orbit Vision firmly locked onto the Death God Incarnation before him.
"I cannot contact my true body at the moment, but I can trace the soul link to locate him. If you wish to know, you could let me go back."
The Death God Incarnation offered.
"In that case, I must trouble you to lead the way, then."
As Chen Mobai spoke, he never released the void hand gripping the Star-Drawing Sword.
Though the Death God’s seal had been lifted, as long as the sword remained within his incarnation, Chen Mobai could suppress him at any time, and even annihilate him with Saintly Virtue Pure Light.
"That might be inappropriate. Friend, if you truly wish for your wife to be alive, it would be best to let me return to meet my true body alone. While I cherish my Demonic Thought tied to the cloak, I would not risk my true body for its sake."
