As a seasoned gar, the transition of a BOSS into its second phase was all too familiar.
Watching the three mysterious assailants within the fog, their bodies swelled and twisted grotesquely, transforming into three lumps of hideous, fleshly monsters.
Li Muyang imdiately warned Xiao Yecao to be on guard.
“Be careful! They’re going to be even more terrifying now!”
The three monstrous forms within the fog were now massive, their bodies covered in ghastly pale arms of the dead, packed with contorted and ferocious faces of corpses, as if they were assembled from countless bodies.
A cold and eerie deathly aura surged within the fog.
The health bars above the heads of the three mysterious assailants changed from 【Mysterious Assailants】 to 【Ghost Fiend King】.
In Li Muyang’s field of vision, a system prompt suddenly appeared.
【Forbidden specter discovered–Ghost Fiend King, please exterminate it as soon as possible!】
With this system prompt, system entries about the terrifying nature of the Ghost Fiend King appeared before Li Muyang’s eyes.
【Ghost Fiend King: An extrely mysterious forbidden specter, said to be a collective of resentnt from the deceased. It briefly appeared in ancient tis, causing a horrific disaster, and even the Evil Lineage, a clan that enslaved evil spirits, feared it.】
It wasn’t just the system prompt.
The mont he saw those three monstrous lumps, Li Muyang instinctively felt a chill down his spine, his body hair standing on end as if so deep-seated fear in his bloodline was awakening.
That kind of instinctual fear, ingrained in his genes, was like how ordinary people feel when they see a slimy snake or touch a hairy spider… despite it being their first encounter, there was an inexplicable shudder.
Li Muyang imdiately understood.
The Ancient Evil Lineage must have fought against these terrifying forbidden specters.
And the Evil Lineage suffered heavy casualties, leaving a profound fear in their genes, which was passed down to later generations, including Jiang Xiaoyu.
Although Xiao Yecao was not from the Evil Lineage, she still realized the terror of these three monstrous forms.
She said hesitantly, “Elder Brother, how about we take this chance to escape?”
Now that she had finally freed herself from the soul-binding chains, Xiao Yecao’s instinct was to leave with Elder Brother.
She was afraid that if they continued to fight, her Elder Brother might encounter so misfortune.
However, the three monstrous lumps of flesh in the fog let out a piercing howl.
In the next second, they contracted and then expanded again.
With each contraction and expansion, a piercing wail emanated from within the monsters.
Accompanying the wails that spread out in all directions were nurous ghastly pale arms.
Li Muyang and Xiao Yecao were caught off guard and found themselves surrounded by countless pale arms of the dead.
From all directions, above and below, cold arms of the dead reached out from every inch of space.
These ghastly ghostly hands viciously grasped at Li Muyang and Xiao Yecao, and the mont they made contact, a chilling deathly aura invaded their bodies.
In Li Muyang’s field of vision, a deathly gray debuff appeared.
【Death Aura Invading…】
With the appearance of this debuff, his health bar rapidly depleted.
Li Muyang was startled and imdiately resisted.
However, the ghostly hands in the space were endless, and Li Muyang unleashed three sets of combo attacks in one breath, severing countless hands.
But his health bar continued to plumt.
His vision also quickly blurred.
At the brink of death, he saw in a daze countless wronged souls wailing on a desolate land, with brutal deities trampling over the bodies of the souls, roaring and cursing at sothing in the sky.
This scene…
【You died. Ga Over】
……
Li Muyang opened his eyes in the quiet room, staring at the defeat CG before him, silent for a long while.
In this battle’s defeat CG, he saw the world where the Ghost Fiend King resided just before his death.
Although it was sowhat different from the broken Netherworld he had visited ten thousand years later, that world of wailing souls and brutal deities was undoubtedly the sa broken Netherworld he had once visited with the Erald Blade Mantis!
But ten thousand years later, the Netherworld was in ruins, with only so powerful ghosts wandering around and the remains of deities scattered in the fog.
However, the Netherworld from ten thousand years ago was not yet completely ruined.
At least the land was filled with endless wronged souls, and those brutal deities had not yet perished.
“Could the essence of the dark catastrophe be an assault from the Netherworld on the human realm?”
“Did the immortals of the human realm ultimately prevail?”
Li Muyang furrowed his brow in speculation.
Although after the dark catastrophe, immortals disappeared from the human realm, and even the cultivation traditions were completely severed.
The cultivation sects of today were all re-established after the dark catastrophe.
But at least the creatures of the human realm were able to continue existing, and the cultivation world gradually rediscovered the ancient traditions.
However, ten thousand years later, the Netherworld was completely ruined, devoid of any life.
“…It’s a pity I can’t visit the Netherworld anymore.”
Li Muyang felt sowhat regretful.
When he had controlled the Erald Blade Mantis, he had wandered in the Netherworld for a long ti.
At that ti, he did not know the terror of the Netherworld, so he did not pay too much attention.
Now that he knew the origin of the dark catastrophe, which actually began in the Netherworld… Tsk tsk.
Li Muyang suddenly beca curious about this broken Netherworld.
Why did the Netherworld from ten thousand years ago suddenly launch an assault on the human realm?
That world was full of wronged souls and cruel deities, completely a world of the dead.
Could it be that the wronged souls of the Netherworld all ca from the human realm?
Hmm… The more he understood, the more he felt that there were many things involved.
Li Muyang paced around the quiet room for a long ti, organizing his thoughts.
Finally, he cald down and temporarily set aside these chaotic thoughts.
Right now, the most important thing for him was not the dark catastrophe of ten thousand years ago.
It was to rescue Xiao Yecao and obtain the ultimate reward!
With this in mind, Li Muyang took a deep breath and re-entered the ga.
……
Having had one successful experience, he found it much easier to deal with the three mysterious assailants.
After two hours of steady play, Li Muyang successfully cornered the three mysterious assailants.
When the health bars of the three mysterious assailants were reduced to one-third, they simultaneously mutated, their bodies swelling and turning into terrifying flesh monsters.
Xiao Yecao was uncertain.
“Elder Brother, how about we…”
“Don’t run!”
Li Muyang decisively interrupted her, saying, “Let’s take them down while they’re weak!”
The reason for their previous failure was that Xiao Yecao had the idea to retreat, which led to them being caught off guard and successfully ambushed by the three monstrous forms.
Seeing the three monsters transform, Li Muyang imdiately activated his skill, and countless pitch-black Scaly Soul Worms screeched as they surged like a tidal wave toward the monsters shrouded in the mist.
In this ga, there are no invincibility fras.
(TLN: Invincibility fra, a brief period of ti during which a character cannot take any damage in gas, i.e. when you perform Rolling/Dodging/Taking Damage.)
When the BOSS transitions and transforms, there is no invulnerability to rely on!
Li Muyang launched a direct assault, not giving the three monsters any chance to complete their transformation.
The dense swarm of black Scaly Soul Worms blanketed the sky and overwheld the three monsters in an instant.
Chunks of rotten flesh were torn apart by the Scaly Soul Worms, and the monsters let out furious howls.
Green ghostly flas burst from their bodies, quickly burning to death the Scaly Soul Worms that were climbing and biting them.
However, the next wave of attacks from Li Muyang and Xiao Yecao had already arrived.
The three monsters were imdiately in agony, with ghastly green blood splattering within the mist, and they quickly fell into a disadvantage, powerless to fight back.
