Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 568-578: The Ten Evil Death Curses

After devouring the Yamata no Orochi, the Evil Spirit True Lord's strength far exceeded his own limit, and it seemed that in addition to his own authority, he also controlled the Yamata no Orochi's authority.

The combined power of the two divine forces allowed the Evil Spirit True Monarch to surpass his previous self in an instant, bridging the gap between him and Lin Beixuan in refining the Desolate Universe Divine Body.

"Is this still possible?"

Xing Liang watched as the Evil Spirit True Lord slowly swallowed the Eight-Headed Serpent, and a chill ran down his spine.

It should be noted that the appearance of the Evil Spirit Lord is no different from that of an ordinary person, and his actions are completely contrary to what a normal person would do.

Not only Xing Liang, but almost everyone was disgusted by the evil spirit's actions.

However, this seemed to mean nothing to the Evil Spirit Lord, whose growing power made him even more morbid and insane.

His body organs had long been alienated and transformed into countless divinely created organs.

Unlike Lin Beixuan, who refined his own unique divine organs, the Evil Spirit True Lord replaced his organs one by one, like replacing parts, with new ones.

Lin Beixuan's situation at this time was indeed not optimistic.

The poisonous mist released by Yamata no Orochi at the cost of all its divine power had broken through the layers of defense of his six phantoms.

"Hehehe..."

When the Evil Spirit Lord saw Lin Beixuan struggling to resist the poisonous fog, he couldn't help but sneer.

He stretched out his arm, his five fingers forming claws, and as his flesh writhed, it transformed into a ferocious snake head. The snake head spewed out thick poisonous mist, clearly intending to continue the poisonous mist attack of the Yamata no Orochi.

These poisonous mists, like maggots clinging to his bones, began to seep into Lin Beixuan's body. Even with his divine body, he felt waves of stinging pain, and purplish-black spots appeared on his skin. A paralyzing and decaying force attempted to erode the source of his divine power.

"The Yamata no Orochi's final divine poison is indeed formidable; even a divine body cannot resist its corrosive effects."

Unfortunately, the Book of Life and Death could not be used for defense. After the divine poison entered his body, Lin Beixuan could clearly feel that his power was being affected. Whenever he tried to circulate his divine power, his body would feel a stinging pain.

At the same time, if you look inside the incense temple in your body, you will find that dark brown mold is growing in his temple.

"Even temples can be corrupted?!"

Lin Beixuan took a deep breath, knowing that things couldn't continue like this.

He flipped through the Book of Life and Death, intending to use the fourth ability it granted him.

The energy of the Book of Life and Death poured out and was frantically absorbed by Lin Beixuan. A six-pointed star array unfolded from the foot of the incense temple, with each point representing one of the six paths.

The temple, which had been corroded and decayed by the poisonous fog, began to shed its mold at a visible speed, and the surging divine power transformed into flames that began to circulate around Lin Beixuan.

Outside, Lin Beixuan's eyes narrowed, and he no longer hesitated.

The six illusory figures behind him shone brightly and began to slowly merge towards his true form.

Starlight burst forth from the star patterns on his skin, a spring thunderclap boomed in the sky ahead of time, and six illusory figures representing different powers and the Great Dao merged into Lin Beixuan's body like rivers flowing into the sea.

With each illusory figure he merged into, Lin Beixuan's aura surged, his body rising higher and higher, the starlight surrounding him resembling a real cosmic sky draped over him.

In an instant, Lin Beixuan's aura broke through from Human Immortal to Great Mortal God, and even began to touch upon higher levels of pressure.

His divine form blotted out the sky, and Lin Beixuan's voice seemed to come from the heavens above, carrying endless majesty and indifference.

He reached out and gently grasped the surging poisonous fog.

In an instant, space froze, and the poisonous mist that was eroding everything was imprisoned in mid-air by an invisible force, unable to move.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Beixuan flipped his palm, and a huge mouth that devoured the surrounding area opened in the palm, bursting out with terrifying suction force.

Whoosh...

Under the immense suction force, the poisonous mist was frantically pulled and twisted into a purplish-black tornado, which was then completely sucked into Lin Beixuan's palm.

The smile on the face of the Evil Spirit True Lord froze. He could feel his divine power vibrating, and an unprecedented sense of oppression permeated the top of his head.

Looking at Lin Beixuan, whose entire body radiated starlight and seemed to have become the universe itself, he felt a fear that arose from his very life instincts.

The vast divine power swept across all directions, and even the Zigu Goddess and the Yunzhou Buddha Goddess, who were far away on the other side of Liangzhou, felt this terrifying pressure.

Zigu Goddess briefly escaped from Kangxing God's Wind God Fire Pearl, raised her head and looked in the direction from which the oppressive aura came, her expression becoming increasingly gloomy.

Having fought Lin Beixuan before, she could naturally sense a familiar power within that oppressive aura.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was deep in thought, and a hint of retreat was already creeping into his mind.

He tossed a string of Buddhist prayer beads into the air, creating a picture of ten thousand Buddhas paying homage to the Buddha.

Countless rays of Buddha light fell, and ten thousand Buddhas in the sky simultaneously struck out a palm towards the Star God.

Dou Xingshen grinned maliciously, gathering all the power of the stars into his right fist.

With the blessing of the sacrificial field, his attributes had already risen to an extremely terrifying level, and the Earth God had already been branded with the Douzi Seal, falling into a special state of disintegration.

In its disintegrated state, the defensive attributes of the Earth God have decreased by 20%.

Facing the giant palm of ten thousand Buddhas, Dou Xingshen suddenly threw a punch.

This punch caused the wind and clouds to change, and the surrounding pure and impure energy was instantly drained away.

"boom!!"

Divine power scattered, forcibly interrupting the battle between Zigu Goddess and Kangxing Goddess, who all looked towards the direction of the battle between Douxing Goddess and Dizang Goddess.

The Divine Fist of the Star Fighter struck repeatedly, and the Myriad Buddha Palm began to crumble under the force of the punches.

Seeing this, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva concealed himself and called out to Zigu Goddess, "This humble monk has done his best. Now it is up to you to handle the rest."

After saying this, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva planned to flee.

He helped Zigu Goddess for his own benefit, and now that he sees the battle situation is not good, of course he will not stay here to wait for death with Zigu Goddess.

However, just as he dodged the Star God's fist and was about to leave, a giant star hand suddenly flew from the sky and firmly trapped the Earth God.

"???"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva stared wide-eyed in disbelief, not understanding why he was trapped. Then he heard a majestic voice coming from high in the sky.

"Since you're here, then all of you may stay!"

Lin Beixuan's voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth. At this moment, he could easily cross half the distance of Liangzhou with just a wave of his hand and capture the Earth God.

His other hand reached out to grab the Evil Spirit Lord.

The Evil Spirit Lord roared, his confidence, which had surged after merging with the Eight-Headed Serpent, began to waver. He pushed his divine power to the limit, and fine gray-white scales appeared on the surface of his body.

His body grew larger and larger, transforming into an indescribable creature that was an enormous fusion of an octopus and a snake.

Some soldiers of the Northern Dark Army below were so badly affected by just one glance that they immediately picked up their swords and slit their throats. Others even raised their swords to attack their comrades, but fortunately, they were stopped by others.

Upon seeing this, the Fox Spirit immediately knew what was going on, so he shouted loudly, "Everyone, lower your heads, cover your ears, don't look, don't listen!"

Her voice was effective; those who were about to look up to see what was going on immediately lowered their heads and covered their ears with their hands.

Just as everyone covered their ears, the Evil Spirit Lord let out a startling roar.

His power was released without reservation at this moment, and countless negative states, such as morbidity, madness, and evil, spread everywhere.

Lin Beixuan glanced at the Beiming army below, took a step forward, and grabbed the deformed body of the Evil Spirit True Monarch. He slowly raised his other hand, forming a sword with his fingers, and slashed at the void.

Space then cracked open, and Lin Beixuan led the Evil Spirit True Monarch into the spatial rift.

At this moment, endless darkness enveloped the two of them, and spatial gales constantly blew against their bodies. If it were an ordinary mortal god, his body would have been scraped away by the gales, and the temple would have become unstable.

However, Lin Beixuan and the Evil Spirit True Lord were not affected in any way.

At the level of Great Mortal Gods, the gales caused by ordinary spatial tearing can no longer harm them.

The choice was in Lin Beixuan's hands. Endless calamity flames and tribulation lightning covered the sword, and the aura of life and death cycle flowed. Lin Beixuan slashed down at the body of the Evil Spirit True Monarch.

Behind the Evil Spirit True Lord, the phantom of the eight-headed serpent roared, and along with the violent divine power emanating from him, it surged wildly toward Lin Beixuan.

Two forces that had surpassed those of ordinary gods collided violently, shattering like pieces of porcelain in the dark spatial rift.

Through these cracks, one can see other places different from Liangzhou.

Within Luozhou, atop the city wall of Wangfeng, Shen Tingmiao was directing the people to repair the damaged city wall.

But at that moment, a huge gap appeared in the sky, and through the gap, two figures could be seen fighting inside.

Many people recognized one of the figures wearing a star-studded divine robe.

"Fu Jun!?"

Shen Tingmiao took a few steps forward, staring at the scene before her with a shocked expression.

Jingzhou.

Emperor Lixi, Yang Guang, stood on the roof of the palace, his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed as he looked at the spatial rift that had appeared above the imperial city.

These gaps were quite large, and from time to time, the aftershocks of the battle between Lin Beixuan and the Evil Spirit True Monarch would spill out.

"Even the Evil Spirit Lord and the Goddess Zigu together couldn't do anything to him?"

Yang Guang's eyes were cold, and a magnificent purple aura emanated from his body as a long, slender sword appeared in his hand.

With a slight movement of his feet, he was about to enter the battle through the spatial rift.

In his view, this was a great opportunity. Lin Beixuan and the Evil Spirit True Lord had been fighting for so long, and they must have suffered great damage. He could eliminate these two major threats in one fell swoop.

However, at that moment, Ah Xiang suddenly appeared behind Yang Guang and stopped him, saying, "Your Majesty, you mustn't!"

Along with him were the old eunuch who had previously appeared beside Yang Guang, as well as several immortals from the twelve departments of the past dynasties.

"Your Majesty!"

Several immortals bowed down, begging Yang Guang not to intervene.

The old eunuch, his voice trembling with tears, approached Yang Guang timidly: "Your Majesty is of inestimable worth, how can you allow yourself to be in such a dangerous situation?"

“Even if someone is to go, it should be us, the subjects, who go.”

"Now that the dynasty is in ruins and needs to be rebuilt, Your Majesty is the ruler of the future. You should keep your mind steady and not let the current situation sway you."

Yang Guang's tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed. He glanced at the people behind him and sighed softly.

"never mind!"

"Sending you there would only make you cannon fodder. The battle between two great gods is something you have no right to interfere with."

Hearing Yang Guang say this, the old eunuch secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, if Yang Guangzhen had sent these people into the spatial rift to participate in the battle between Lin Beixuan and the Evil Spirit True Monarch, they would probably have no chance of survival.

Looking at the scene in the sky, anyone would know that it was completely beyond the reach of these immortals. The aftershocks alone could probably kill them. Going in would be suicide, and that was no exaggeration.

Seeing that Yang Guang had given up on the idea, the old eunuch gave a wink to the people behind him. The people immediately understood and quietly withdrew from Yang Guang's sight.

"Alas, it seems the time is not yet ripe!" Yang Guang noticed the movement of the person behind him, closed his eyes slightly, and sighed softly.

Bingzhou.

The ground was covered with a blanket of snow, and a tall, slender figure walked through the mountains and forests.

Her eyebrows were covered in snowflakes, and her nose was slightly red from the cold wind. On her shoulder, a snow-white rabbit with eyes like sparkling rubies was crouching, its long ears standing upright and folded in opposite directions, looking quite adorable.

"Poetry Support!"

Suddenly, the rabbit raised its head and looked at several widening cracks in the sky, through which it saw two figures locked in battle.

Huang Shifu looked up at the sound and immediately spotted a familiar person among them.

"Looks like you need to speed up!" The rabbit seemed to read Huang Shifu's mind and grinned, showing its rabbit teeth.

Huang Shifu took a deep breath. Her clothes were thin, but she didn't feel cold at all in the heavy snow.

"That's right, we need to hurry."

Huang Shifu responded and quickened his pace, heading towards Liangzhou.

Her original destination was Luozhou, but she ended up in Qingzhou before hearing the news that the Lord of the Northern Underworld was fighting against the Evil Spirit True Lord and the Goddess Zigu in Liangzhou.

Upon learning of this, Huang Shifu immediately changed direction and headed towards Liangzhou via the nearest city, Bingzhou. She was now only a few counties away from Liangzhou.

……

"Bang!!"

Lin Beixuan raised his hand to block the attack of the Evil Spirit True Monarch. The divine power of both sides surged, and each collision caused terrifying spatial tides.

"I've already said, Orochi's methods are no longer effective against me."

Lin Beixuan's tone was icy. The black flames that emerged from the incense-burning temple burned away the poisonous mist, turning it into wisps of ashes.

The Evil Spirit Lord remained expressionless as his body split into several large, bizarre tentacles. Wherever the tentacles passed, malevolent energy polluted the surroundings like ink.

This energy transformed into countless needles that pierced into various acupoints on Lin Beixuan's body.

The needles, such as those from the Heavenly Gate and Divine Aperture, melted rapidly upon entering Lin Beixuan's body and began to spread within him.

"Is he studying my body?"

Lin Beixuan's expression was solemn: "We can't delay any longer, otherwise he will find the weakness of my divine body, which will be detrimental to me."

Lin Beixuan didn't intend to delay any longer. The incense temple within his body emitted a resounding sound, and the Desolate Universe Divine Body was operating at its limit.

The Evil Spirit True Lord saw through Lin Beixuan's intention. He repeatedly added divine power, and the divine power surrounding him became increasingly viscous. The seeping divine poison mist was like a layer of crystal covering his divine power.

As the divine power became increasingly viscous, the body of the Evil Spirit Lord became increasingly thin.

Gradually, the body of the Evil Spirit True Lord disappeared, and in its place, a viscous cage of divine power enveloped Lin Beixuan.

From the void came the morbid laughter of the Evil Spirit Lord.

"The Ten Evil Death Curses!"
