Chapter 1522 - The Bitten Nethery
Chapter 1522: The Bitten Nethery
“Go ahead, hit me.”
Dark-green-haired Bu Fang floated in midair, supporting the earthy yellow turtle shell. The shield was so enormous that it seemed to contain a world inside, covering Nethery, the dead woman, and even the Heavengod’s treasure behind them.
It was fine for Bu Fang to save Nethery, but when the treasure was involved, he immediately attracted the attention of all and became their target, even though he did not intentionally cover it.
The power of the Perishing Pot was beyond everyone’s expectations. No one thought it could produce such terrible power. This might not seem like a big deal to a top-grade God King, but when such means came from a Demigod, it was terrifying!
Yu Qiu knew that very well. He had been a dominant figure within the relic for thousands of years, and no one except the Divine Emperor, Xuan Kong, and the mysterious existence who ranked top on the God King List could resist his sword more than once.
But now, he had actually suffered a defeat at the means of a Demigod. This was no longer just about the Heavengod’s treasure, but about his honor. He was the Sword God who ranked third on the God King List!
Bu Fang’s talent was truly amazing, as evidenced by comprehending three supreme Laws of the Universe. However, Yu Qiu could not accept it as a reason for a Demigod to stop him from getting the treasure and make him look bad!
The sword energy behind him surged!
Xuan Kong was roaring, too. He had a fleshly body that was infinitely close to the Heavengod’s body, and his physical strength was extremely fearsome. With it alone, he could shake a top-grade Blood Beast King. In short, his strength was incredibly terrifying.
Although his physical body was formidable, he was still far from reaching the supreme Heavengod Body realm, and it drove him crazy. He wanted to transcend his limits and become the man with the strongest fleshly body of all time, and anyone who stood in his way had to die!
At this moment, even if the existence ranked top on the God King List was here, he would not hesitate to throw his punch at him!
As for the two top-grade Blood Beast Kings, the Demon Mammoth and the Rainbow Butterfly, they did not think so much. Their only goal was to capture the Heavengod’s treasure and become the true top existences standing at the top of the food chain within the relic!
Rumble!
Yu Qiu’s sword was very scary. Countless sword lights turned into a huge torrent and poured down from the sky, looking like a falling galaxy. They ruthlessly smashed the turtle shell that covered Bu Fang, trying to shatter it completely. What was a turtle shell before his indestructible sword? His sword could even cut through stars!
Rumbling sounds rang out as the sword lights landed on the turtle shell. The surrounding God Kings all stopped in place, and every one of them wore a strange expression. To them, when a Demigod tried to fight the Sword God and the Fist Saint, he was just courting death.
The gatekeeper also sighed. A burst of force erupted from his hand, turned into a terrible attack, and smashed down toward Bu Fang in the turtle shell.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
Dreadful explosions broke out continuously, emitting light so bright that everyone was forced to look away. All the God Kings flew into the air.
In the distance, Luo Sanniang and Summer breathed deeply. There was even despair in Luo Sanniang’s eyes. She could imagine that Bu Fang’s situation at the moment must be absolutely hopeless. Summer felt helpless as well, and she could only sigh at his suicidal act.
Did he really think that he can act recklessly just because he had comprehended three supreme Laws of the Universe? He had not even broken through to become a God yet, so how could he be so arrogant?
BOOM!
Violent vibrations swept out in all directions. At this moment, the whole relic was shaking. The ground was constantly cracking, and many living beings were terrified. The power generated by the battle between high-grade God Kings was enough to shatter stars. If this was not the relic but other places, it would have been destroyed in a flash, even if it was the capital of the Xiayi Divine Dynasty.
As the smoke and dust gradually dispersed, Yu Qiu, hovering in midair with a sword in his hand, looked incredulous. Xuan Kong’s face was flushed, and his eyes were wide with disbelief. Meanwhile, many other God Kings, including the gatekeeper, were sucking in cold breaths with an odd feeling.
The terrible energy of the explosion finally disappeared, and the earthy yellow turtle shell reemerged in front of the crowd, perfectly intact. There was not even a crack on its surface. It was so tough that it left everyone speechless.
The defense of a Demigod was actually able to resist the attack from four top-grade God Kings! Was this what a top genius was capable of? Was it true that one could do whatever one wanted after comprehending three supreme Laws of the Universe?
“Impossible! How could it block the attack…” Shock surged in Yu Qiu’s eyes. He shook his head as if his mind had suffered a great impact. That turtle shell was f*cking hard! He could not believe it actually blocked his sword! The point was, it not only stopped his sword but also Xuan Kong’s fist and the attack from the two Blood Beast Kings! What the hell was that turtle shell?
“Ah…”
In the turtle shell, Bu Fang was floating in midair, half lying down. His eyelids were struggling to stay open because he was too tired. People just like to sleep when they get old. “You didn’t eat? Is this all the strength you have?” he said lightly.
His words enraged everyone at once. How could he be so arrogant?
Meanwhile, behind Bu Fang, something strange was happening to Nethery and the dead woman. He glanced over his shoulder at them in confusion.
The dead woman’s body began to emit a ghostly green glow, which spread out and slowly wrapped around Nethery’s body like threads and chains. Nethery’s eyes were blank. The next moment, as the dead woman’s eyes burst into the same light, she opened her mouth and sank her teeth into Nethery’s fair neck.
In dark-green-haired Bu Fang’s eyes, the dead woman’s teeth became long and sharp in an instant, scary to be looked upon.
Nethery froze for a moment, then she felt a stabbing pain coming from her neck.
As the dead woman leaned on Nethery’s shoulder with her face buried in the latter’s neck, a terrible aura spread out from her. It was incomparably strong and very unstable.
Suddenly, in the eyes of all, the dead woman’s body began to disintegrate. That incredibly strong body, which could resist Xuan Kong’s physical strength, began to slowly burst like bubbles. It was a horrible scene to look at. No one had expected such a scene to occur. What happened to the dead woman?
Ghostly green energy slowly flowed out of the dead woman’s broken body and penetrated Nethery’s body along the bite mark on her neck. Her aura began to soar at a frightening speed!
That surprised dark-green-haired Bu Fang. In his eyes, Nethery’s aura soared from the Demigod realm and soon broke through the shackles. “Is the inheritance of the Cursed Goddess so incredible?” he muttered.
The next moment, his hair reverted to black, and the turtle shell was gone. Hovering in midair, Bu Fang frowned as he stared at Nethery in the distance.
Her aura was fluctuating and getting more and more terrifying. It felt as if a second dead woman was awakening. Was this really an inheritance? Bu Fang was not quite sure. Looking at the slowly healing bite marks on her neck, he felt a pang of weirdness. What exactly did the dead woman do to her?
As Nethery’s aura continued to fluctuate, her black hair began to slowly change color, and in the end, it was completely ghostly green. Even then, ghostly green energy burst from her body. It was the curse power, a power that made Bu Fang’s heart beat faster!
In the distance, the faces of Yu Qiu, Xuan Kong, and the others changed dramatically.
“What a terrifying curse power! Has that Cursed Goddess awakened?”
Could the dead woman have been revived with the flesh of the girl? If she did come back to life, the treasure would have nothing to do with them!
“Stop her!”
“Kill her!”
Yu Qiu and Xuan Kong thundered at the same time. They exchanged a glance, and both saw the determination in each other’s eyes. The next moment, they sped forward. They had no Law of Space to travel through the void, but at their level, their speed was naturally not slow.
A sword was swept out, illuminating the world! A punch was thrown out, filling the skies with a rumbling sound! The two top existences on the God King List struck out in an instant!
Hovering in the distance, the gatekeeper and the others looked at each other. Soon, they seemed to think of something, and their eyes gleamed with determination. For a moment, battle cries filled the air as everyone rushed toward Nethery. They had to stop her from evolving.
‘Could it be that Nethery was really robbed of her body by the dead woman?’ The same thought also came to Bu Fang. It was quickly rejected by him, however, because her eyes were still clear. Though there was a flash of pain in them at times, the familiar feeling coming from her assured him that she was still Nethery.
‘In that case, I’ll stop these people one more time!’
Bu Fang let out a breath. Facing the experts swarming toward him, he took out the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife. Since they wanted to fight him, he would fight them to the end! Although he was a chef, he also had the heart of an expert!
In the distant sky, Lord Dog held the Heavengod’s bone in one paw and made no move, his eyes flashing. Across from him stood an expert shrouded in a hazy mist.
Tai Fei’s eyes were fixed on Nethery, who was wrapped in a ghostly green glow. ‘It’s a Cursed Goddess! An awakened Cursed Goddess! And her body is evolving toward the body of a Soul Overlord!’
His eyes burst into an intense black light, and his heart was filled with desire. As an expert of the Soul Demon clan, he needed a strong body. Only in this way could he reach a higher realm and had a chance to access the true mysteries of this universe!
At this moment, the temptation of Nethery’s body to him surpassed that of Bu Fang’s body! He was very eager to get her! However, he was not in a hurry to make a move. Soul Demons never lacked patience. He needed to wait for the right opportunity to take what he wanted in one fell swoop!
There were too many God Kings here. Alone, he was not strong enough to deal with them. He must wait for the other Soul Demons to arrive. When that time comes, this relic would be the beginning of the Soul Demon clan’s rise!
Bu Fang held the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife firmly, his aura soaring. With Black Turtle out of his body, he did not know if he could fend off these guys.
After all, he was only a Demigod. His base strength was too low, and he only relied on the three supreme Laws of the Universe to forcibly improve his fighting prowess. And he was fighting alone. However, he couldn’t retreat now. If worse came to worse, he would crush the last divine power liquid drop!
Bu Fang watched as the attacks came pouring toward him. Yu Qiu and Xuan Kong, who kept approaching, put great pressure on him.
“What are you without your turtle shell?!” Yu Qiu flew into a rage when he saw Bu Fang trying to stop them again. He slashed out his sword to cut Bu Fang, as well as Nethery, in half!
Xuan Kong did not want to be outdone. His blood and energy rumbled as he threw out a punch! The void was instantly shattered, and spatial turbulence poured out of it.
At the same time, various attacks from other God Kings rained down. Even the gatekeeper was bursting with monstrous killing intent at this moment. Yes, Bu Fang was a genius, but he had chosen to go against the majority. In that case, he deserved to be killed!
Everything seemed to become very quiet. Bu Fang took a deep breath and exhaled. His divine sense surged, then its true-form in his spirit sea opened its eyes, reached out a hand, and was about to crush the last divine power liquid drop.
However, just when it was about to crush the liquid drop, a hand wrapped in ghostly green light rested on Bu Fang’s shoulder.
“Let me handle this…”
