Chapter 201: The Great Serpent

“You’re courting death!”

Aura’s beautiful eyes narrowed, and she thrust her arm forward with lightning speed.

As her arm rose, a sharp thorn materialized out of thin air, piercing through the void towards Karl’s heart.

“Bang!”

The thorn ripped through the air, breaking the sound barrier, its speed so great that it left a white trail of vapor in its wake.

Sacred Technique ━ Nine Forms of Wood Slaughter!

Most of the sacred techniques of Mujiu Unreal City were related to plants and life, and their inheritance was relatively complete.

Their power,

was naturally not to be underestimated.

“Crackle!”

Lightning crackled around Karl as he dodged to the side.

First-Circle Spell ━ Thunder Wings!

Spells and sacred techniques each had their own intricacies, but in practical application, spells were generally superior to sacred techniques.

After all, spells could be cast instantly, while sacred techniques required the gathering of energy, and the preparation time alone was different.

“Whoosh!”

The thorn grazed past him, and as Karl was about to charge forward, his eyebrows suddenly shot up, and he formed hand seals with both hands.

Thousand Buddha Hands ━ Diamond Seal!

An ethereal Buddha materialized behind him, and invisible Battle Aura converged into a protective force field, enveloping him completely.

At the same time.

“Bang!”

The thorn that had just grazed past him suddenly exploded, countless hair-thin wooden thorns erupting from it and shooting towards him like a barrage of arrows.

The speed and power of the wooden thorns were considerable.

Moreover, they possessed a special force that specifically countered protective Battle Aura, piercing through it like fish swimming towards his body.

Karl had no doubt that if these things penetrated his body, even his tempered blood vessels wouldn’t be able to withstand them.

“Hmph!”

He grunted, and the Battle Aura enveloping him suddenly intensified.

Hundred Hand Realm!

“Crack!”

The incoming wooden thorns were instantly crushed by immense force, and Karl’s figure appeared beside Divine Envoy Aura.

Thousand Buddha Hands ━ Mountain-Shaking Seal!

His First Circle, Perfect Realm strength allowed him to unleash power with a casual hand seal that would make his opponent’s face change drastically.

“Bang!”

Layers upon layers of wooden shields shattered one after another.

Aura retreated rapidly, her eyes wide with astonishment.

“No wonder… No wonder Bowen was able to escape from the Crystal Evil Creature, it was because of you.”

If she knew that not only did they escape, but Karl had also casually dealt with the Crystal Person, she would be even more surprised.

After all, even in Mujiu Unreal City, only a handful of people could withstand three Crystal Evil Creatures head-on.

“Come again!”

Nine Forms of Wood Slaughter ━ Death Thorns!

Aura’s face was icy cold, her smooth and delicate skin turning into a rough, wooden texture, her facial expressions becoming stiff.

Her entire being,

seemed to have transformed into a tree, a tree covered in thorns, rejecting all contact.

“Bang!”

The two collided once more.

Karl’s fist slammed into Aura’s calf, the terrifying force directly shattering her leg.

Wood chips flew everywhere.

The next moment.

Vines proliferated, and the broken leg actually regenerated.

Aura’s eyes were cold as she charged forward, her long legs whipping up a storm of thorns that shot towards Karl relentlessly.

“Bang!”

“Bang, bang!”

The two figures intertwined in the air, their energies clashing endlessly.

Good!

This was the true battle between knights, completely different from the contactless exchange of spells with wizards.

Fist to flesh,

was the romance of knights!

Karl’s eyes lit up, his spirit unusually excited, hand seals and fist techniques flowing seamlessly.

To him, Aura’s physical body was relatively weak, and with a little effort, he could shatter it.

As for those thorns…

They weren’t enough to pierce through his Bronze Body at the Perfect Realm.

However,

The inheritance of Mujiu Unreal City was equally profound. As long as her head wasn’t crushed, her body could recover quickly.

It was as if she could regenerate infinitely.

But it definitely couldn’t be infinite. After a brief exchange, anxiety and unease appeared in Aura’s eyes.

Regenerating her body consumed Battle Aura.

The characteristic of Wood Attribute Battle Aura was its long duration, but it couldn’t withstand this rate of consumption.

***

“Boom!”

As she pressed her hands down, countless thorny vines sprouted from the void, instantly enveloping Karl.

“Die!”

Aura’s eyes widened, her Battle Aura surging wildly.

“Bang!”

The vines shattered.

“Not bad, Sacred Technique. Your strength is also impressive.” Karl, freed from the restraints, hovered in mid-air and looked at her, “Unfortunately,”

“You met me.”

If it were Bowen facing Aura, even if he went all out, he wouldn’t be able to hold on for long.

Thousand Buddha Hands!

Hundred Hand Realm!

Thunder Seal!

“Boom!”

The void was suddenly filled with electric light, the light spreading and transforming into bolts of lightning that surged towards Aura.

The next instant.

The void blazed with light.

A moment later, the deafening roar reached their ears.

“This strike should have the power of the Second Order.”

Karl withdrew his hand, looked at Aura, who had been reduced to wood chips scattered in the air, and shrugged indifferently, “This should be enough to kill you, right?”

If she could survive this, then the rank of the Sacred Technique she practiced must be higher than the Holy Demon Transformation.

But that was almost impossible.

One must know that even in the era when the gods had not yet fallen, the Holy Demon Transformation was a top-tier Sacred Technique.

It even pointed towards the Fourth Order!

On the other side.

Cloud Divine Envoy’s strength was originally inferior to Bowen’s, and having lost his fighting spirit in panic, he had already fallen below.

It seemed he was about to be completely captured.

Hmm?

Karl took a step forward, then abruptly stopped, his face filled with surprise as he turned to look at the floating wood chips.

A strange fluctuation appeared in the air.

She didn’t die even after this?

What kind of Sacred Technique did she practice?

Karl’s face turned serious. Just as he was about to form hand seals, a terrifying, vast, and ferocious aura suddenly surged into his Sea of Consciousness.

“Roar!”

The frenzied roar made him groan, his eyes glazed over, even his thoughts coming to a standstill.

This is…

Dragon’s Might!

The innate pressure of a higher-order being on a lower-order being, a suppression stemming from Bloodline Power.

The wood chips scattered in the void had somehow gathered together, but they didn’t form a human shape.

Instead, they formed a wooden dragon!

Or,

A venomous serpent!

The venomous serpent opened its massive jaws, letting out a silent roar towards Karl, then lunged forward, swallowing him whole.

Die!

‘The gods have fallen to the earth, divine fire has descended upon the world, the great serpent of destruction will eventually devour the shattered Red Moon!’

The venomous serpent raised its head, roaring towards the shattered Red Moon in the sky.

The next instant.

“Bang!”

A tentacle burst out from the serpent’s belly.

And this was only the beginning.

One tentacle after another pierced through the serpent’s belly, and then a terrifying squid forcibly ripped open its abdomen.

Over a hundred tentacles covered in bizarre eyeballs danced in the air, the Aura of Fear clashing with the Dragon’s Might.

“Boom!”

The two monsters collided, grappling and tumbling into the ruins below.

Thousand Buddha Hands ━ Thunder Seal!

Over a hundred slimy arms extended from the tentacles, each forming hand seals and blasting lightning towards the venomous serpent.

This strike,

Thick bolts of lightning completely enveloped the venomous serpent, blasting it a hundred meters away, obliterating everything within.

Source Essence +1

?

Karl was stunned.

Source Essence was basically related to deities. Even the Crystal Evil Creature seemed to worship some kind of crystal.

And the true gods had already fallen, even the Moon Goddess was no exception.

In other words…

This Divine Envoy Aura from Mujiu Unreal City, worshipped some kind of Evil God?

Was it just her personal belief,

Or was Mujiu Unreal City…

Problematic?
