Abundant Martial Arts Virtue

The moment the health bar appeared, the "God" grew angry.

Its roar thundered through the clouds:

"Insignificant mortal,"

"It would take only a single word from me, a gesture, a flicker of thought to kill you,"

"The world's fate has been sealed, and like your imminent doom, it strides towards despair,"

"Meet your death—"

The tremendous murderous intent, as vast as the sea, descended from the sky, bearing down on Wu Xiaode.

Wu Xiaode felt his body sink and quickly assumed a defensive stance.

——The adversary was about to make a full-force move!

He didn't even blink, focusing intently on the sky above, bracing for the earth-shattering strike.

Time slowly ticked by.

A single breath.

Two breaths.

——Then something strange occurred.

The massive figure that had been moving through the sky suddenly vanished!

In the night wind,

A tiny shadow plummeted from the high heavens at breakneck speed.

Boom!!!

It crash-landed on the deck of the large ship, bursting its flesh like a ripe fruit.

——It was a human.

The man's health bar had plummeted by half.

Well, considering the height he fell from, not dying was already fortunate; losing half of the health bar was, perhaps, a fair compromise.

Wu Xiaode, originally full of fighting spirit, stared dumbfounded at the scene before him.

The second hand of the clock ticked forward one notch.

His mind raced, and he finally grasped what had happened.

The skill, "Love, Dreams, World Peace," forced the enemy to fight "as a human."

This meant—

The "God" in the sky had been forcibly turned into a human by him.

Unaccustomed to the human body, it couldn't control itself and thus had fallen.

Wu Xiaode looked at the stranger lying on the ground, his body fractured, blood spewing from his mouth, a thoughtful expression emerging in his eyes.

It seemed—

All his bones were broken, huh?

Poor guy…

Now that all his bones were broken, controlling his human body would become even more difficult.

While he pondered this, he saw the other's health bar drop further.

Oh—

This was due to the severe internal damage from the impact, causing continuous internal bleeding.

As a Divine—

If this continued, it would certainly die in this fair fight against a human.

There had never been such an event in history.

But in later times, when the "Pangu" world merged and stirred back to life, many mysterious lives struggled to adapt as humans.

Compared to those beings, this "God" was far too weak.

Seeing that the other party couldn't get up after a long time, Wu Xiaode took a couple of steps forward, clenched his fist, and encouraged the other in a low voice:

"Come on, you can do it, lose a little more blood! You're about to make history!"

The stranger took a deep breath.

He rapidly chanted some kind of spell.

Accompanied by the sound of the spell, the wounds on his body began to heal quickly.

However, would Wu Xiaode let him fully recover just like that?

Smack.

Wu Xiaode slapped him across the face.

The glow on the stranger's body disappeared instantly, leaving him dazed and motionless in place.

——Confused Fist technique!

While the man was dazed, Wu Xiaode drew his Butterfly Soul blade and whispered:

"If you're not accustomed to a human body, then you might as well die."

Thrust.

The blade pierced into the body of the other.

Suddenly, an unexpected change occurred—

From the wound where the blade had pierced, a wisp of ghostly blue light appeared.

Wu Xiaode raised his eyebrows at this sight.

——He was all too familiar with this light.

It was the glow of the Soul Body!

Could it be—

A possibility dawned on Wu Xiaode, and he immediately gripped the blade tightly, slicing forcefully across the man's back!

The light flared intensely!

——A cut several tens of centimeters long was opened across the stranger's back!

The next instant,

The man's health bar dropped to zero.

Yet from his back, densely packed, dark-glowing human shapes erupted from the open wound and soared into the sky.

Souls!

Thousands upon thousands of souls!

Free from the monster's shell, the souls whirled and danced in the night sky, lingering on.

Wu Xiaode gazed at this scene in astonishment.

So the souls offered in sacrifice had all been inside this monster's body?

What was going on?

"Be careful! It's not dead!"

The souls in the air cried out in unison.

Wu Xiaode immediately leaped backward, looking vigilantly at the body of the stranger.

He saw the health bar on the body fill up again, becoming full.

It was clearly empty!

Why could it recover to full health?

He noticed the body beginning to wriggle, seemingly undergoing some kind of transformation.

"This monster has a second transformation?"

Wu Xiaode exclaimed in shock.

After having used the power of "Rage" for so long, followed by a period of "Love, Dreams, World Peace" to fight against those mysterious lives, this was still the first time he had seen a creature that could fully restore its health after death and enter a second form.

——What exactly is it?

"Ughhhhhh!"

The male corpse let out a strange howl as its body swelled up, sprouting countless bodies made of blood and flesh.

All the blood and flesh bodies fused together, forming a massive blood-flesh creature covered with numerous human corpses.

"That's not right, my skill is of the Holy Level, you should definitely turn into a human, but why didn't you?"

Wu Xiaode murmured, puzzled.

A spark of spirit light suddenly flashed through his mind.

Could it be——

An idea surfaced in his mind, and then he immediately stopped thinking about it.

Usually, when most people are fighting and can't gain the upper hand, they would calm down and closely observe, looking for the enemy's weakness, and then find a way to break them one by one.

But Wu Xiaode's fighting consciousness was different from most people.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to find a unique way to survive in so many dangerous situations.

The moment the monster took shape, he didn't wait or continue to observe; instead, he immediately realized that the opponent might possess Holy Level power.

"Countless beings have been killed, their souls sacrificed to you, your sins must be extremely heavy,"

Wu Xiaode spoke quickly, "Very well, I'll appoint you as the 'Netherworld Envoy'."

"You probably need to report to the 'Netherworld', become its god, rather than belong to the world of the living."

As his voice faded.

Rows of ice crystal letters instantly appeared:

"You have activated 'Divine Enthronement'."

"This is a Holy Level skill, currently affecting the opponent."

"The opponent has just resisted the 'Love, Dreams, World Peace' limitation of 'human form', it can no longer resist your 'Divine Enthronement'."

"'Divine Enthronement' succeeded!"

Invisible forces gathered around, fluttering towards the giant blood-flesh monster.

The monster seemed to have sensed something too.

"No... I want you dead..."

It took a step forward, charging at Wu Xiaode.

However, its body faded more and more, as if being pulled by a force and stepping directly into another world.

In that world, numerous powerful Death Monsters stood on barren, desolate mountains, silently watching this scene.

The monster finally reached in front of Wu Xiaode.

But it was too late!

The Netherworld engulfed it, causing it to gradually vanish from the ship.

All was silent around.

Wu Xiaode took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

——That guy could actually resist the Law of "turning into a human".

What divine being could it possibly be?

Suddenly.

A voice arose from behind Wu Xiaode.

The Flag of Sand quietly appeared and spoke, "You have done far beyond my expectations, leave immediately now."

"That thing is a demon below the Holy Realm sequence, made from the sacrifice of countless souls."

"Demon?" Wu Xiaode said.

"Yes, a 'demon' is a type of Battle Armor, worn by mysterious lives—after the critical point, they have actually come, but because the 'Pangu' world is far too powerful, they walk the world in the guise of 'Gods' until they are fully prepared," the Flag of Sand said.

"Why didn't you say so earlier," Wu Xiaode complained.

"I couldn't say. Once said, they would know—but it's not important anymore, after all, you've already got—what we have always wanted," the Flag of Sand said.

Aware of something, Wu Xiaode abruptly looked up.

Countless souls were seen swirling in the sky, then suddenly diving towards him.

"Save us! Just like you saved Fei Fei!"

Hundreds of thousands of souls pleaded in unison.

Wu Xiaode, inspired, immediately opened the Book of the Dead and activated "Super Shadow Followers".

The souls, glowing with light, poured into the pages of the book like a flood.

All the souls gathered together, settling on the card where Fei Fei was.

They merged into one!

Rows of ice crystal letters appeared beside the card, explaining everything.

"Hurry, go back to the era when 'Pangu' is awakened," the Flag of Sand said.

Wu Xiaode hesitated, "But this era——"

"This era is already full of holes, utterly fallen, only in the era recreated by your 'Pangu' do we have a sliver of hope," the Flag of Sand said.

Wu Xiaode knew what the other party said was the truth and sighed.

"Let's go."

He grabbed the Flag of Sand and gave it a gentle wave.

In the next instant.

Endless sand emerged from behind him, accompanying him as he walked towards oblivion.

As he disappeared from this era, the sand also passed away into nothingness.

"Aaaaargh!"

A roar suddenly thundered through the skies.

Boom!

A huge and bizarre figure materialized from the Void, crashing down and capsizing the ship.

——That monster!

It had actually returned to the world of the living.

"Damn it, damn this thing! Let go of my Divine Position, or I'll kill you!"

The monster roared in frenzy.

On it, countless chains were entwined, each chain inscribed with the will of death.

The chains dragged it towards the death-filled Void.

But the monster didn't want to go to the Death World!

"Come out! Get out here!"

"——I don't want this Divine Position!"

The monster screamed hysterically.

However, even as the ship sank to the ocean floor, and even after using countless spells, it still couldn't find any trace of Wu Xiaode.
