Chapter 65 The Lord of the Underworld - Black Mist
Yu Taishan still held the firearm, but it was no longer aimed at Xia Chuan's head; instead, it was against the empty darkness.
He froze for a moment, his pupils suddenly contracting.
The world has changed.
The yellow sand that filled the sky disappeared.
Gray clouds overhead, yellow earth beneath our feet, and endless ravines in the distance.
Everything was erased in the blink of an eye, replaced by a pure black, boundless space.
It's not night; at least at night there are starlight, the sound of wind, and the lights of distant villages and towns.
There is nothing here. There is no up or down, no near or far, no air movement, and no tactile sensation of the ground.
More than twenty corpses stood in the void, unable to step on anything, yet they did not fall.
They were as if nailed to the center of this darkness, unable to move forward or backward.
Yu Taishan put away his gun and placed both hands on the hilts of the sword at his waist.
He squinted, glancing left and right, the veins on his forehead throbbing.
The more he looked into the darkness, the more panicked he became.
It's not that I can't see clearly, it's that I can't understand it at all.
The blackness was like a wall, like a stagnant pool, like the skin of some living thing, swallowing all the light without reflecting a single ray.
"What happened?"
Someone asked in a shrill voice, the sound echoing in the darkness without a reply.
"I can't sense that kid anymore!"
"This is... his innate divine power?"
Yu Taishan remained silent.
He gripped the knife handle tightly, his knuckles turning white.
The surrounding black mist began to surge, spreading slowly like ink in water, pressing in on them from all directions.
The mist had no temperature, no smell, but each wisp seemed to have eyes, staring at him, staring at every corpse.
On the other side, Xia Chuan stood in the very center of this darkness.
He didn't move, nor did he even deliberately look at the location of the corpses.
Very strange.
In this land of reincarnation, he does not need to use his eyes.
Each corpse's primordial spirit is like a dark red lamp, clearly visible in the darkness.
More than twenty lamps, some large, some small, some bright, some dim, were scattered around him. Some were trembling, some were struggling, and some were trying to run away.
The system panel automatically unfolded in his field of vision, and the pitch-black [Lord of the Underworld] talent slowly emitted an unusual radiance, like something that had been asleep for a long time finally opening its eyes.
[Detected to be in the Land of Reincarnation, meeting the awakening conditions for the Lord of the Underworld (Third Tier)]
[Talent is awakening...]
[Current Awakening Progress: Tier 1]
[Current Talent: Black Mist]
[Lord of the Underworld - Black Mist]:
You are the invisible mist hidden in the land of reincarnation.
Your skill's effective range has increased by 100%.
Xia Chuan looked at the words and a slow smile spread across his face.
it is as expected.
Compared to the original description of his talent, the current description is more in line with the rank of "Lord of the Underworld".
He had previously felt that the statement "You are the Lord of all spirits in the river of life and death" was somewhat exaggerated.
Because in a world where the sun and moon are in the same direction, there is no reincarnation.
When a person's primordial spirit dies, it simply dies; there is no such thing as a "river of life and death."
It wasn't until this moment, when he used [Sole Judgment of Reincarnation] for the first time and stepped into this land of reincarnation, that he truly felt it.
That instinct to control life and death, to manipulate yin and yang.
It's like a third hand that was originally part of his body, but it had been locked up before, and now the lock is open.
Within this black mist, the release of skills becomes entirely at will.
Xia Chuan stared intently at Taishan's neck.
【Soul Release】!
Originally, this slash could only be triggered through melee combat.
Under the unreasonable amplification of [Reincarnation's Arbitrary Judgment] and [Lord of the Underworld - Black Mist].
He actually launched the attack based solely on Xia Chuan's gaze.
An invisible line of cutting emerged from his gaze.
Finer than silk, faster than light, it wrapped around Yu Taishan's neck in the blink of an eye.
Yu Taishan instinctively sensed a deadly danger.
Without hesitation or thought, he suddenly raised his left arm and placed it in front of his neck.
next moment.
"ah--!!"
A scream echoed through the darkness.
Yu Taishan's entire left arm was neatly severed at the elbow joint, and black blood gushed out.
The severed arm tumbled several times in the air before being swallowed by the black mist.
All the corpses were immediately startled.
"What is that?!"
"Where? Where's that kid?!"
The corpses gathered back to back, unsheathing their magical artifacts and clutching their talismans in their hands, their turbid pupils swirling wildly in the darkness.
But I couldn't stop feeling panicked.
Yu Taishan is the strongest among them!
He is at the peak of the Middle Divine Power, just one step away from the Great Divine Power.
But just now, even the strongest of them didn't see where the attack came from.
Everyone was extremely nervous.
But then a soft "click" sound came from the depths of the black mist.
It looked like something had been broken.
Everyone turned their heads in horror.
In the gaps between the churning black mist, a headless body slowly fell to the ground.
His skin was bluish-gray, he wore a black robe, and black blood was still gushing from the severed neck.
"Hurry up!!" Yu Taishan exclaimed in a trembling voice.
No one responded. The head of the body was gone; it had rolled away somewhere, no one knew.
The hearts of all the Dharma corpses sank.
Cong Cong is a master of the Central Divine Skill. Although he is not as good as Yu Taishan, he ranks among the top five out of more than twenty people.
But he died without even letting out a scream.
Amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd!
The black fog surged again.
"Black Flash!"
A bolt of black lightning cleaved out of the mist, almost tearing the dark space apart.
Yu Taishan's eyes were bloodshot:
"Get out of the way!!!"
But how could they outrun lightning?
Under the incredulous gaze of Mount Tai.
The black lightning bolts crackled and exploded in the air.
Then, it slammed hard onto the head of another Nirvana Corpse!
Black blood splattered!
The sky was filled with a blood mist, like exploding fireworks!
It rained down completely on everyone's faces!
Feeling the black blood on his face, Yu Taishan trembled all over.
they.
It seems like we've kicked a hornet's nest!
On the other side...
Standing deep within the black mist, Xia Chuan felt better than ever before.
The cooldown for [Soul Release] has been refreshed.
In this land of reincarnation, every strike he made carried double the effect—
The skill effect is increased by an additional 100%.
The effect of all skills is increased by 20% after [Black Flash] is triggered, and it is also strengthened to 40% by [Reincarnation Domination].
When combined, all the skill effects are nearly three times stronger than before!
He raised his hand, spread his fingers, and then slowly clenched them.
The black mist condensed and swirled in his palm, like soldiers obeying orders.
Three times the [Soul Release].
Three times the amount of [Black Flash].
Three times the [Spirit Binding and General Summoning] power.
He suddenly had an idea.
On the other side, Yu Taishan clutched his severed arm, blood seeping from between his fingers and dripping into the void.
His eyes searched frantically in the darkness, trying to locate Xia Chuan.
The more I searched, the more alarmed I became.
The boy seemed to have melted into the black mist, into every corner of this space.
He could sense the fluctuations of magical power and the killing intent, but there was nothing on Xia Chuan's body.
as if.
He himself is this darkness.
"How could this be?!"
A hint of fear finally crept into Yu Taishan's voice.
Before the thought could even form, he was horrified to find those terrifying cutting lines appearing around him.
They were densely packed, layer upon layer, wrapping around him from all directions.
He turned his head sharply and looked around—
The entire void was filled with clipping lines.
Not one, not ten, but hundreds and thousands.
Those threads, finer than a hair, crisscrossed and wove into a huge net, enveloping all twenty-odd corpses within it.
Some are wrapped around the neck, some around the waist, and some around the wrists and ankles, like the final step a spider takes before capturing its prey.
Black mist surged, and Xia Chuan's figure appeared and disappeared within it.
His right fist was gathering power, black lightning condensing on the surface of his fist, growing thicker and brighter, like a black sun about to explode.
Yu Taishan's pupils shrank sharply: "It's that guy!"
Everyone quickly realized what was happening.
More than twenty medium-level supernatural beings unleashed their techniques.
All sorts of attacks rained down on Xia Chuan.
Various colors of light exploded in the black mist, illuminating a corner of this land of reincarnation.
Unfortunately, the attack was imminent.
The cutting lines are now fully formed.
Xia Chuan opened his arms, and black mist surged like a sea behind him.
His voice wasn't loud, yet it seemed to emanate simultaneously from every wisp of black mist—deep, resonant, and carrying an irresistible air of authority.
"Domain Expansion—"
"The Demon-Slaying Chef!"
