Hearing Chen Luo's roar, Ulquiorra's mummified face couldn't help but darken.
Having devoured countless human brains, it had also acquired the corresponding knowledge of this world.
This human before it was refusing a toast and insisting on a beating.
The great Lich said no more, instead raising the staff in its hand towards the giant fist descending from the sky.
Yet, in the hands of the most evil great Lich, it wielded a pure white staff.
Facing the destructive fist falling from the sky, a hint of mockery flashed in the great Lich's eyes:
"A foolish provocation. I never intended to dodge. After all, you, the weak, know nothing of the power of the abyss!"
"Temporal Control! Tenfold!" The great Lich's body suddenly blurred, as if it had momentarily detached from the flow of time in this world!
Within the accelerated time, dark and sinister magical patterns suddenly appeared in the air before the great Lich.
These patterns, just by looking at them, exuded an aura of evil and defilement. If a normal person were present, merely gazing upon these patterns would plunge them into madness.
Dark energy continuously flowed from the great Lich's body, converging into the magical patterns, and a blasphemous, ominous power steadily ascended in the process!
"Forbidden! Ultimate Art! Sigh of the Underworld!"
As the dark energy continuously flowed, when it reached a certain critical point, the defiled patterns that had spread a thousand meters in the air abruptly began to spin!
A moment later, a colossal vortex, standing upright in mid-air, appeared before the great Lich!
Even with time accelerated, the giant fist from the sky was already perilously close.
But the great Lich showed no trace of worry in its eyes.
*Hum!*
Just as the giant fist was about to strike, a terrifying head, a thousand meters in size, suddenly emerged from the vortex!
Exaggerated horns grew on either side of the head, and its eyes were tightly shut, its appearance utterly resembling a demon king from myth and legend.
*Boom!!!*
The giant fist, like a falling meteor, fiercely slammed into the front of the demon king's head.
But to Chen Luo's shock, the attack, capable of pulverizing cities, failed to stir any ripple!
This head didn't even retreat an inch!
A divine light flashed in Chen Luo's eyes, and the disintegration of the Silver Fist accelerated drastically!
If brute force couldn't break through it, then what about a massive explosion?!!
Gazing at the violently trembling energy fluctuations on the giant fist, a hint of mockery flashed in the great Lich's dark eyes.
The next moment, facing the Silver Hand that was about to explode, the demon king's skull suddenly opened its mouth:
"ROAR!!!!!"
The violent roar caused the earth to tremble, but even more terrifying was the dark beam of light spat out from its massive maw!
The colossal beam, a thousand meters thick, annihilated the disintegrating Starfire Fist the instant it appeared.
The Starfire, capable of burning all energy, and the Disintegration Fist, capable of destroying a city.
Before the dark energy pillar spat out by the giant mouth, both quality and quantity were utterly suppressed.
But this was not all! xxs壹贰
The moment the Starfire Fist was annihilated, Chen Luo's overloaded mental sea calmed down as a result.
But at the same time, Chen Luo's sixth sense began to blare an alarm!
Death!
Death!!
Death!!!
Faced with the absolute premonition of death, Chen Luo didn't hesitate. Following his instincts, he flew to the side with all his might!!
As Chen Luo moved!
*Boom!!!*
The terrifying dark beam, the instant it finished engulfing the Starfire Giant Fist, shot straight towards Chen Luo!
The earth along its path, even without direct contact, merely brushed by the beam's aftershock, revealed huge, pitted channels.
Chen Luo's mind went blank. In the fleeting moment between life and death, the dark beam grazed Chen Luo's side and shot straight into the distance.
The beam lasted only a brief moment.
The dark vortex behind the demon king's skull slowly rotated, and this head, which hadn't even opened its eyes from beginning to end, thus plunged back into the dark vortex.
The vortex spun smaller and smaller, and after a moment, it completely disappeared from this world.
And where the giant head had been, a massive pitted channel, a hundred meters wide and tens of meters deep, appeared.
The edges of this channel were the color of black glaze, and the entire channel stretched to the horizon of the Land of Death.
As the instigator of all this, Ulquiorra slowly retracted the pure white staff it had raised and, with gentlemanly steps, slowly walked along the edge of the dark channel.
Its eyes gazed upon the immense sunken channel stretching to the horizon, and in its gaze, a trace of regret was revealed:
"What a pity. If not for the game system's barrier at the edge of Donghai City."
"The residual waves of the Pluto's Sigh projection should have been enough to traverse from Donghai City, through the entire Great Yan, all the way to your Tibetan Plateau before stopping."
Having said that, the great Lich turned its head, its dark eyes quietly fixed on the figure outside the edge of the pitted channel:
"So, has this strike made you recognize the gap between us, little bug?"
*Hoo... hoo....*
Outside the edge of the pitted channel, Chen Luo's chest heaved violently.
He had never experienced such close contact with death. In that moment, if he had been a few milliseconds slower, he would likely not have even a speck of dust left by now.
The inflated feeling brought by instantly killing the so-called half-step Abyss level had completely extinguished.
The gap was truly immense between truly stepping into the abyss!
Death! Death!
The thought flashed through Chen Luo's mind with absolute certainty.
Amidst his heavy gasps, Chen Luo's brain was somewhat frozen.
The great Lich's words, carried by the wind, reached Chen Luo's ears, and his consciousness gradually returned.
But along with the return of his consciousness came a piercing pain:
"Ah!!!"
With a scream, Chen Luo, lying on the ground, turned his head to look at the source of the pain...
It was on Chen Luo's right side. It was an arm from the elbow down, leaving only black bone.
During that momentary dodge, even though it was extremely timely, the right arm was still grazed by the aftershock of the black light.
A corrosive energy, as if possessing consciousness, was spreading from the arm, which had turned into black bone, upwards towards the elbow.
As the energy eroded, a pain that seemed to penetrate the soul made Chen Luo cry out in agony.
*Thump... thump... thump...*
With dull footsteps, the great Lich, clad in a magnificent robe, walked in front of Chen Luo.
It lowered its head, looking at the immensely pained Chen Luo, and a hint of pleasure actually appeared in its eyes:
"Hurts, doesn't it? Heh heh, the erosion of the Underworld's aura is more terrifying than being sliced into a thousand pieces for you living beings."
Chen Luo's pain brought the Lich genuine joy.
Facing an opponent who had completely lost the ability to resist, the great Lich didn't mind savoring his suffering a little longer:
"I said, I acknowledge your strength, human."
"Merciful as I am, I will give you one more chance!"
