Chapter 546 – Slaying the Serpent! In the Name of Bones, Bestow Death

“Roar!”

From the depths of the white-misted World Secret Realm, an ear-splitting Dragon Roar pierced through the heavens.

A massive Frost Dragon Overlord stirred frost-white mist, directly striking the even larger serpent in the distance that resembled a demon god incarnate.

However, when this soul-freezing frost-white mist fell upon the colossal serpent’s body, it could only form a faint white frost that quickly dissipated.

“Hmm?”

The Fallen God Attendant, Great Serpent, showed slight surprise.

It didn’t care about the Opportunity Treasure Land in the distance, as divine attendants didn’t need to strengthen their Divine Souls. However, the Legendary Realm creatures guarding the Treasure Land made its mouth water.

Unexpectedly,

“Instead of fleeing before this Great Serpent, these mere Heaven-Earth Realm beings dare to take the initiative to attack?”

Its dual pupils, resembling the blazing sun and icy moon, coldly looked down.

The next moment, a black Domain spread out.

This wasn’t a Domain – Great Serpent didn’t possess nor need a Domain, as it had the Divine Domain bestowed by the Serpent God.

Heavy Water Divine Domain!

Unlike tangible yet formless Domains, the Serpent Attendant’s Divine Domain directly interfered with and altered the real environment, more like a mobile territory that could manifest at will.

The Heavy Water Divine Domain spread across a radius of tens of thousands of meters, with black water droplets floating up like rain.

These droplets, though tiny, were immensely heavy, like mountains one after another, containing vast and terrifying power.

“The Serpent Attendant’s true form possesses the Heavy Water Divine Domain. These heavy water droplets are extremely dense, each capable of unleashing impact force no less than a full-power strike from a Peak Heaven-Earth Realm expert when they strike. And around us, there are hundreds upon thousands of these heavy water droplets, which will continuously regenerate within the Serpent Attendant’s Divine Domain!”

Bone Four adjusted its non-existent glasses frame and spoke calmly.

The Fallen God Attendant Great Serpent was among the top-tier existences even among world-class powerhouses. Meanwhile, information about it was abundant. Within the Taixuan Alliance alone, no fewer than ten Lords had engaged in direct combat with its true form.

The number of Lords or their generals who had fought against Great Serpent’s avatars numbered well over a thousand.

“Additionally, another major advantage of Great Serpent’s true form is its enormous body. The energy it contains, even compared to Soul Realm experts of the same level, could be hundreds of times greater.”

Even within their Tianyuan City, General Dolai, renowned for containing whale-like energy in its small body, probably couldn’t match the energy reserves of this Great Serpent.

After all, Great Serpent’s true form was a being transformed through power bestowed – or rather, remade – by the Fallen God ‘Serpent God’.

This Great Serpent was never a normal Soul Realm existence.

The raindrops hung suspended, then began to fall in showers.

Each drop fell like a crashing meteor.

Simultaneously, terrifying gravity descended, causing the surrounding space to warp slightly.

Everyone felt their bodies grow heavy, with the weaker Cold Frost and Kibi barely able to stand straight.

This was the might of Great Serpent’s true form.

Even though information about Attendant Great Serpent was nearly public knowledge, with larger forces well aware of this terrifying existence’s killing techniques and combat methods, the vast majority of Legendary Realm experts weren’t qualified to face this being directly.

Legendary Realm experts without sufficiently powerful combat strength couldn’t withstand even a single blow from Great Serpent.

And under such meteor-like rain attacks, numbers held little significance.

“Begin!”Bone Two, Bone Three, and Bone Four struck simultaneously.

Having stepped into the Epic realm for quite some time, their Undead Territory had expanded to a massive scale through continuous management.

At this moment, the pale plain stretched out boundlessly, forcibly carving out an unaffected territory within this ‘Heavy Water Divine Domain’.

The spatial distance of the black droplets was stretched, and the overwhelming gravitational pressure was gradually diminished.

In the next instant,

Azure Frost and Cold Frost clapped their hands together, and rumbling ice crystals erupted from the ground, constructing two pure white fortresses atop the pale plain.

They stood atop the fortresses as snow and ice howled around them.

One after another, massive ice walls over ten meters thick rapidly rose from all sides.

“Crack!” “Crack!”

“Boom!”

The ice walls fractured and shattered under the black raindrops, quickly turning to complete debris.

“This is not an opponent on the same level at all!”

“But being able to block one move is already impressive, right?”

A Legendary Realm expert in the distance couldn’t help but glance back before quickly vanishing into the mist, fearing that if these beings perished, the Great Serpent would target them next.

The terror of the Fallen God’s Attendant, worshipped by countless monster tribes, was indeed evident!

The speed at which the ice walls rose and formed was far surpassed by the pace at which the raindrops lifted and crashed down.

If it were only Azure Frost and Cold Frost, they could at most hold out for a few seconds before being crushed by the overwhelming heavy water.

“Is this the might of a world-class powerhouse?”

Well, they weren’t particularly surprised.

They weren’t like those Legendary Realm experts who only had theoretical intelligence and ended up overestimating themselves or underestimating their foes after a clash. They frequently faced the might of this level of powerhouses and had long been mentally prepared, even if the moves differed.

And here, it wasn’t just the two of them.

“Sorry to keep you waiting.”

Sario let out a roar, his massive wings stirring a rolling storm. Within the storm lay frost, within the frost lay decay, and from decay sprouted more frost—an endless cycle of frost and demise.

Bolstered by the vast snow and ice of the Heaven-Earth Realm, this frost-decay momentum grew increasingly immense, rolling forward relentlessly. It not only froze vast quantities of raindrops but also continued unabated, covering the Serpent Attendant.

This time, it was frost-decay imbued with conceptual power!

White frost spread continuously over the massive serpent’s body while gradually causing the entire form to decay.

This was conceptual damage—something the Great Serpent’s true form, which had yet to master laws, absolutely could not negate.

However,

“Roar!”

The Great Serpent roared. Even as frost covered its body and decay had begun, it still possessed surging power.

Its energy, vitality, and physical form were all overwhelmingly powerful!

This was straightforward, numerical superiority.

Even though the conceptual power had indeed injured the Great Serpent, achieving significant results in a short time was difficult.

The enormous serpent’s mouth gaped open like a black hole, seemingly harboring a terrifying world within.

A violent suction force enveloped the surrounding heaven and earth.

Shattered trees and broken rocks continuously lifted into the air, swallowed into the black hole-like maw.

This was another major killing move of the Serpent Attendant.

Devour Serpent Blackhole!

It had a record of devouring and annihilating world-class powerhouses!

Once a world-class powerhouse was swallowed, survival wasn’t guaranteed, let alone for the nine Tianyuan Generals present, who were still far from that level.

They must not be swallowed!

They had long prepared their tactics.Bone Two seemed unable to resist, its entire body swept up by the violent wind currents and lifted into the air along with countless shattered vegetation and soil, heading toward the black hole.

The next moment,

“Crack! Crack! Crack!”

Countless broken bones also rose into the air, but instead of being swallowed by the black hole, they continuously reassembled mid-flight.

A pale and massive skeletal arm;

A towering bone body encased in heavy bone armor;

A pale and enormous skeletal skull;

A Corpse Giant, larger than the Great Serpent itself, now stood firmly on the ground, blocking the Great Serpent’s gaping maw.

Ghost Commander Baili and Soul Loss launched mental assaults at the Great Serpent.

The Blood Fiend Kibi circled to the side, his sword piercing through scales as crimson blood continuously flowed in.

Bone Three moved behind the Great Serpent, thrusting a bone spear deep into its body.

Bone Four sharpened its own bones and stabbed them into the massive serpentine form.

Withered Grey Bone!

This was an extremely sharp technique imbued with the concept of withering desolation!

The Great Serpent’s tough scales indeed couldn’t withstand it, and grey patches began spreading across its body in concentric circles.

“But this creature is truly too massive, in every aspect.”

Bone Four looked upward.

Their Withered Grey Bone strikes would normally leave even Soul Realm experts half-crippled upon contact. Yet the Great Serpent’s true form possessed incredible endurance, absurdly tanky!

However,

The Great Serpent’s true form only excelled in endurance.

This terrifying powerhouse that made countless territories tremble, this world-class expert, was now being suppressed through the exquisite coordination of Sario’s nine companions.

Even though several of these nine Heaven-Earth Realm experts had Domains exceeding ten thousand meters, they remained in the Heaven-Earth Realm.

While it, the noble divine attendant, existed as a companion to the great deity.

“Roar!”

The Great Serpent’s rage manifested repeatedly, yet it remained tightly surrounded, accumulating more wounds by the moment.

Still, Sario and the others dared not let their guard down.

They held a slight advantage, but this relied entirely on flawless coordination. Their raw power paled in comparison to the Great Serpent’s – any lapse in teamwork would instantly turn their advantage into dire disadvantage, threatening their very lives!

They possessed sufficient tacit understanding and shared mental synchronization through their psychic network, making coordination failures unlikely under normal circumstances.

But here, now, in this turbulent World Secret Realm, prolonging the battle inevitably invited unexpected developments.

The Great Serpent understood this well.

It continued resisting while waiting.

It wasn’t fighting alone – reinforcements were coming.

From the churning white mist, another figure gradually emerged.

A living being.

One resembling the surrounding creatures in both appearance and aura.

“Reinforcements for these dead bones, tch.”

The Great Serpent’s gaze darkened.

But with only one newcomer, it wasn’t overly concerned.

The figure in the mist grew clearer.

One skeleton, one sword, one cloak.

A perfect Domain enveloped heaven and earth, a Holy Mountain Projection manifesting to crush and shatter the divine realm like rotten wood.

This undead was abnormal!

The Serpent Attendant had previously endured dozens of attacks, confident it retained sufficient combat strength to refine these living beings instantly given the opportunity.

But now, it sensed danger – mortal danger.

How could anyone in the Soul Realm pose a lethal threat to it?

The Great Serpent refused to believe it, yet still heeded its primal intuition.It let out a furious roar, its entire body suddenly swelling to twice its original size. A snakeskin large enough to blot out the heavens abruptly shed from its form. In the next instant, the now-diminished Great Serpent had already transformed into a streak of light, fleeing toward the distant white mist.

Bone Two and the eight others were blocked by this sky-obscuring snakeskin. By the time they tore through this serpentine illusion, the Great Serpent had already escaped into the distance.

They couldn’t catch up, nor did they have any intention of pursuing.

After all, the big brother had already arrived.

Deadbone watched the rapidly retreating figure, slowly raising Death Lament. A profound and mysterious mark, seemingly symbolizing the death of heaven and earth, appeared on his forehead. Black patterns spread continuously along his arm bones, climbing up the Sword of Death.

In the distance, on the massive fleeing form, equally mysterious black patterns appeared in Deadbone’s vision.

The black patterns extended outward like flower petals;

They were as breathtakingly beautiful as petals;

This was beauty symbolizing death, where each line represented a possibility of death.

Deadbone didn’t pursue, only gently swung his sword down.

Sss—!

The fleeing Serpent Attendant suddenly felt its premonition of death skyrocket to its peak.

No, this wasn’t a premonition—it was dying!

It was already dead!

It… it was already dead?

In the last moment before its Divine Soul vanished, the Serpent Attendant suddenly remembered, recalled this black-armored skeleton that felt so familiar to it!

That skeleton who had created a Domain at the Elite Realm, who had slain its descended Incarnation against all odds!

In just over a year, it had already acquired power surpassing the World Realm?

Could it be that this was a… a… a legendary…

Its eyes widened wide, its body and Divine Soul completely annihilated.

“This is the concept of death—directly bestowing death upon a target from the conceptual level, from the fundamental source.”

Deadbone murmured.

This was his first experiment using this on a high-Realm enemy.

“My death concept has entered the second Realm. I can directly lock onto a target from a distance and perform conceptual-level interference. Even instant death is possible.”

“However, this move can only be used on weaker targets.”

The Great Serpent’s true form was a weaker target to him.

Against enemies of the same level, of course he couldn’t simply bestow death directly. But through multiple battles, he could lock onto their death possibilities. The Desolate Kingbone, Emperor’s Sword, and Tide of Death—these various killing techniques provided more death possibilities.

He pondered this, not sheathing his sword.

“This sword strike only destroyed the Great Serpent’s body, spirit, life, and Divine Soul. But it’s not enough.”

The Soul Realm possessed resurrection capabilities. As long as one severed a fragment of their Divine Soul in advance and set up contingency measures, they could resurrect after death.

Of course, resurrection required time and resources. Dying once was a significant loss for anyone.

Among these, the Fallen God Attendants’ resurrection speed was faster than other World Realm powerists.

“Before, I didn’t have the power to prevent such formidable enemies from resurrecting. But now…”

Deadbone focused his attention.

Where the Great Serpent had perished, where death had occurred, there was a faint, intermittent line of concepts stretching all the way to an unknowable place.

This was the inevitable conceptual connection between the Great Serpent’s true form and its resurrection contingency.

The conceptual thread was gradually fading, breaking.

As time passed, this connection concept would eventually disappear completely.

Deadbone stood silently on the wasteland, concentrating for over ten seconds.

Suddenly,”I’ve caught you.”

His gaze traversed mountains and rivers along the threads of conceptual Karma, crossing layer upon layer of Great Domains, realm after realm.

Through blurred vision, Deadbone glimpsed a fragmented Divine Soul bursting forth, in the process of being restored, with Flesh beginning to take form.

Sever!

The pure concept of Death spread along the Karmic connection.

Upon the ancient and bloodstained Altar, the Serpent Attendant’s consciousness was reawakened, fragments of memory flooding in.

“Just now, that undead must have been transmitting… transmitting…”

Their blurred consciousness gradually cleared.

The Great Serpent was about to speak.

Hum—

Black Death descended.

The valley located in the Hidden Place returned to tranquility in the blink of an eye.

A silence like death.
