Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 579-589: Kang Su - Burning the Heavens and Boiling the Sea

The figure behind the door paused for a moment, the deep shadows like clouds hanging from the sky, enveloping the two worlds inside and outside the door.

"It's been... a long time!"

A faint voice came from behind the door, as if someone had once set foot on this land and returned after a long time.

Kang Xingshen's gaze remained fixed on the golden door, so he naturally heard the sound.

Despite not being a person of this world, he could speak fluent and proper Mandarin, indicating that he had been to the mortal world before and... devoured many people there.

Besides the differences in individual biological characteristics and strength, there is another major difference between Wu Chi and Jiong Hai.

Any creature devoured by Wu Chi will have everything it possesses taken from it.

In other words, Wu Chi can acquire the abilities and memories of his enemies by eating them.

This is somewhat similar to Lin Beixuan's interface, where you acquire the opponent's fate or abilities by constantly contacting and defeating them.

"Tread, step, step..."

Wu Chi's heavy footsteps grew closer and closer, and as he stepped across the threshold, a gust of wind immediately swept across the earth.

Immediately afterwards, the air in the mortal world began to fluctuate violently as if boiling water had been boiled, and a huge amount of foul air from the other world roared and collided with the air in the mortal world.

When the two meet, it's like oil being cooked over a raging fire, producing a loud sizzling sound.

Wu Chi was like the source of filth, constantly emanating a terrifying aura.

It has a humanoid face, but it is more like a monster. Its two ears are like wings, its body is full of muscles, and the bulging veins are like crisscrossing mountains.

Unlike others, he only had four fingers, but the finger bones were thick, and bony growths bulged high at the knuckles. There was also a bony growth on his chest, but this growth resembled a breastplate, covering his heart.

After Wu Chi stepped out the door, he turned his head and glanced in one direction.

Its gaze collided with that of the God of the Stars, and the divine power of both sides surged and crashed together like a tidal wave.

"Ha...the god of this world!?"

Wu Chi stared at Kang Xingshen, a cruel mockery flashing in his eyes.

"I didn't expect to see you again so soon."

The Lord of the Underworld once drove them all back and then closed the gates, preventing them from leaving for hundreds of years. They all remember this grudge.

Unlike ordinary skeletons, the Wu Chi possesses intelligence that does not belong to any living being. Last time they entered the mortal world, when they faced attacks from the mortal gods, their main enemy was the Great Mortal God.

The two sides clashed many times, and many of the great mortal gods belonging to the Twenty-Eight Mansions died at the hands of Wu Chi.

Wu Chi looked Kang Xingshen up and down, licking his lips with his scarlet tongue, and said sarcastically, "You give me a familiar feeling. Have we met before?"

Kang Xingshen's dragon eyes blazed with a fierce light, his teeth grinding together as he sensed the lingering aura of a celestial deity on the Wu Chi before him.

This means that the other party once devoured a great mortal god.

Suddenly, Wu Chi's pupils contracted, and he slapped his head.

He had just browsed through some memories in his mind and learned the identity of the god before him.

"I see, you used to be Fang Xingshen's friend."

Upon hearing the name Fang Xingshen, Kang Xingshen's divine power surged, and he rushed towards Wu Chi.

Fang Xingshen, one of the seven major mortal gods of the Azure Dragon in the East, once participated in the battle for the gate. In the end, he was killed and devoured by Wu Chi in front of him. He could not even be reborn through incense offerings. He truly disappeared from the world.

Wu Chi seemed oblivious to the anger on Kang Xingshen's face, and chuckled, "That rabbit was delicious, the finest delicacy."

Faced with the surging divine power, Wu Chi threw a punch, and terrifying extraterrestrial power echoed from his fist.

As the fist landed, the divine power from beyond the boundary came into contact with the divine power of the Kangxing God. The Kangxing God's divine power immediately dissipated, while Wu Chi, on the other hand, still had lingering power from beyond the boundary condensed in his fist.

The difference between the two is obvious.

"After fully digesting her, my strength will be among the top even among all the Wu Chi."

Wu Chi's lips curled up, and a hint of excitement appeared in his eyes.

The worldly gods are a great source of nourishment for them.

After devouring their opponent, the opponent's divine essence is transformed and absorbed by them, becoming the best nourishment for their growth and strengthening.

Seeing that it was Kang Xing Shen guarding the gate, how could Wu Chi not be happy?

It is now incredibly grateful that it chose this door.

In the world behind the gate, every Wuchi has the option to choose a gold-level gate.

A golden door has many accompanying bronze doors.

In other words, the remains found behind the opened bronze door in Changzhou at this time were basically those of its subordinates and subjects.

If the world behind the gate were divided into ranks, Wu Chi would be equivalent to a lord who owns a large territory.

Upon hearing Wu Chi's mockery, Kang Xingshen's expression became even more frenzied. The Wind and Fire Pearls spun between his dragon palms, stirring up gales and flames.

"Roar!!"

With a deafening roar, Kang Xingshen twisted his massive body and lunged at Wu Chi.

As the dragon's body gradually shrank, its divine power became more refined, transforming from a thousand-meter-long giant dragon into a more agile form several tens of meters in size.

The dragon claw tore through the sky, accompanied by a piercing whistle. The twin beads of wind and fire spun wildly, and the gale whipped up the flames, making it look like a giant fireball, roaring as it devoured Wu Chi's face.

However, Wu Chi merely tilted his head and twitched his feather-like ears, as if he were admiring the anger of the God of the Stars.

Its chest, covered in osteosarcoma like armor, suddenly thrust out, neither dodging nor avoiding, and crashed headlong into the fireball.

"Bah..."

The moment the flames collided with the bone armor, they exploded with a deafening roar, sending countless sparks flying outwards like a meteor shower, scorching and cracking the ground within a hundred meters.

Normally, even a fellow great god wouldn't dare to directly confront the full power unleashed by Kang Xingshen, but at this moment, it could only leave a few shallow scorch marks on Wu Chi's breastplate.

The osteosarcoma writhed slightly, slowly absorbing the flames attached to it.

His power seemed insufficient to cause much damage to Wu Chi in front of him.

"Your temper is even worse than that rabbit's."

Wu Chi raised his hand and patted his chest, the bone armor making a dull sound: "Her struggle before she died was much more interesting than yours."

These words were like the most vicious curse, piercing deep into Kang Xingshen's heart.

The Seven Mansions of the East have always been on good terms. Fang, the youngest of the Seven Mansions, is well taken care of by everyone.

At this moment, Wu Chi used this as a mockery. Kang Xing Shenlong's eyes turned bloodshot, and the Wind and Fire Twin Pearls suddenly swelled around him, releasing endless starlight.

Behind it appeared a phantom star map of the Twenty-Eight Mansions, seven of which suddenly shone brightly, resembling a blue dragon raising its head. Under the endless starlight, the Wind and Fire Pearls merged into one, transforming into a blazing white star that exuded an aura of heaven-scorching destruction.

"Kang Su - Burning Heaven!"

A continuous stream of divine power emanated from the body of the God of the Stars, and the domain of the Azure Dragon of the Kang constellation unfolded. Wind and fire stirred up the earth, the wind fueling the fire and the fire amplifying the wind's power. Before the stars had even set, the earth below had already begun to crack inch by inch, and the scorching heat waves made the foul air emanating from Wu Chi sizzle.

[Within the Kangxing Azure Dragon Sacrifice Ground, one will be harassed by the Wind God's Fire Pearl, which forcibly strips one of their health and speed every second. The Kangxing God receives support from those stripped of their health in the arena, while the enemy is continuously afflicted with a burn status, greatly reducing their recovery ability. Except for the Kangxing God, all life forms are afflicted with a special 'Kangxing' status, where their strength continuously increases and their spirit continuously decreases.]

Lin Beixuan, who was on his way to the battlefield, suddenly looked up at the blazing white star in the sky that seemed to burn the heavens and boil the seas.

"Is he planning to burn the entire city of Changzhou to ashes?!"

Fortunately, there are hardly any people left in Changzhou now; they are all vengeful spirits and evil ghosts who are unwilling to die in vain. Otherwise, it would be an enormous karmic consequence.

"What on earth happened over there? That Kang Xingshen would even resort to this move?" Lin Beixuan thought to himself, and suddenly increased his speed.

At the same time, Wu Chi finally put away his playful expression and stared at Kang Xingshen with a solemn look.

It could sense the destructive power contained within the star before it.

The divine power from beyond the realm within its body surged wildly, condensing behind it into a pitch-black domain. Within this domain, countless distorted faces appeared and disappeared, all of them being the powerful beings it had devoured during its conquests of various worlds.

"Burning divine essence?"

"Perfect timing! Centuries have passed, so let me see just how much you otherworldly deities have improved!"

Wu Chi spread his four fingers wide, and the ink-black field surged toward his four fingers like viscous tentacles.

At the same time, the bone tumor on its chest gradually disappeared, and all of it gathered in its hand, like a huge bone glove, which it fiercely grabbed at the blazing white star.

The pitch-black realm and the blazing white stars collided in mid-air, and the air between heaven and earth seemed to freeze for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, an energy far exceeding the previous impact swept outwards from the point of collision.

The mountains surrounding the Golden Gate collapsed in response. The flying debris that had been hovering around Wu Chi could not withstand such a powerful aftershock and all turned to ashes in the heat wave. Only a few with stronger vitality survived.

"puff……"

Kang Xing Shen spat out a mouthful of divine blood, and his dragon body was blasted backward, crashing into the broken mountain wall and carving a deep ravine.

Wu Chi stood there, half of his body destroyed, the wound festering, with flames constantly spitting out.

He glanced down at his badly injured side and frowned, saying, "I underestimated you!"

Beneath its festering wound, new flesh wriggles, trying to push away the rotten flesh and grow back.

But at these times, the flames inside the body would surge, turning into tiny fire dragons that would char the new flesh again, completely eliminating any possibility of it recovering.

Kang Xingshen stared in the direction of Wu Chi. He had used the Burning Star technique, which cost him his divine essence, to completely wipe out Wu Chi in one blow. However, he did not expect that it would only seriously injure half of Wu Chi's body.

"Hundreds of years have passed, why is it still the same? Have they become stronger, or have I become weaker?"

Kang Xingshen struggled to sit up, his eyes still filled with hatred, but now tinged with despair.

If all the Wu Chi behind the gate are like this, and they attack again this time, without the Lord of the Underworld and Chenlong, what will the mortal world use to resist these guys?

These enemies from other realms seem to be endless.

Instead of allowing the secular world to recover and regain its strength, the hundreds of years have allowed those things that were forced back to their original positions to accumulate power once again.

Wu Chi moved his left hand. Although his right side was no longer usable, his left hand did not affect his circulation of extraterrestrial divine power.

It slowly raised its head, about to walk towards the God of the Stars.

But as soon as it lifted its foot, its winged ears turned south, as if it had heard some noise.

Wu Chi grinned, revealing his menacing teeth: "I didn't expect you to have an accomplice."

Following its gaze, Kang Xing Shen saw Lin Bei Xuan appear at the edge of its field of vision.

He could cover a distance of tens of millions of meters in a single step, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Wu Chi.

Lin Beixuan frowned, his gaze falling on the still-standing golden gate.

Although the door was open, nothing came out from behind it.

Several surviving flying wrecks saw Lin Beixuan and flapped their wings, rushing towards him with a whooshing sound. However, before they could get within a hundred meters, they were shredded by an invisible force.

Lin Beixuan's gaze swept over Wu Chi's half-charred and decaying body, finally settling on its chest, where the bone tumor on the breastplate had originally been.

At this moment, due to the severe injury to the right side of his body, an irregular gap was exposed, and dark purple organs could be vaguely seen throbbing behind the gap.

"It's even uglier than I imagined," Lin Beixuan said calmly, as if he were commenting on an ordinary object.

Through that golden door, he had confirmed the identity of the thing before him: it was a being of a higher level than a corpse.

Then, he glanced at the faintly breathing Kang Xing Shen not far away: "Don't die so easily before I kill it. The agreement between us regarding our mounts is not over yet."

Kang Xingshen looked up at Lin Beixuan, opened his mouth as if to say something, but could not make a sound.

Wu Chi tilted his head, his nostrils twitching, as if trying to discern the aura emanating from Lin Beixuan.

Why do you possess the aura of the Lord of Sin?

"You are a person of this world, yet it seems you are not."

Wu Chi's eyes trembled, clearly indicating that it was very puzzled by Lin Beixuan.

But just as it was pondering, Lin Beixuan had already made his move.

There were no earth-shattering phenomena like those of the God of the Rising Sun; he simply stepped in and delivered a punch.

This punch, like parting the clouds to reveal the sun and seeing the boundless starry sea of ​​the universe, struck the bone armor on Wu Chi's chest.

Then, a crisp 'bang' was heard.

Wu Chi's pupils suddenly contracted, and his gaze fell to his chest, where he saw that the gaps had suddenly increased, densely packed and almost covering the entire surface of his nail.

"The armor plates were indeed quite brittle after being burned."

Lin Beixuan remained expressionless as countless fist shadows rained down on Wu Chi, like cannonballs crashing down, each punch accompanied by a powerful roar.

"Bang!!"

Wu Chi's half of body, which had been severely injured by Kang Xing Shen, exploded with a bang, his flesh and blood were obliterated, revealing a heart inside his chest.

[You have encountered a special target: Wu Chi - Fearless Corpse Demon.]

[Enemy Compendium unlocked; information on Wu Chi - Fearful Skeleton Demon successfully unlocked.]

[Note: You cannot obtain destiny or abilities from enemies within the domain, but in return, for each Wuchi you kill, you will receive a wisp of the mortal Dao's favor.]

[Note: You now possess a wisp of the mortal world's way of heaven's gaze.]
