The natural system started off strong, but the navy finally reached its peak!

This situation is extremely tricky!

Nasujiro immediately became fully alert, his skeletal horse lowering its body slightly and its four hooves gripping the ground.

The first generation of Kitetsu was held horizontally in front of him, his senses fully extended, trying to capture any abnormal vibrations or energy fluctuations.

"call out!"

At this time.

A pale energy ball, the size of a fist, appeared without warning from his lower left side.

It shot out from the shadow of a seemingly empty rock and slammed into the belly of his skeletal horse at a tricky angle!

"boom!!!"

The energy ball did not explode immediately upon contact, but instead clung to it like a leech. Then, the extremely compressed vibrational force inside was released wildly!

"Ugh!" Nasujiro groaned as fine cracks appeared on the bone armor on the horse's belly!

(The part that transforms into horse skeleton form should not have internal organs, since mythical beasts inherently possess a multitude of unique characteristics.)

"Found you!!!"

Despite the pain, Nasujuro forcibly twisted his body, and with a shrill howl, the First Generation Kitetsu slashed back at the direction from which the energy ball was shot!

Unfortunately, it was still a step too late!

"Black Shock - Instant Prison!"

Gern's cold voice rang close to his ear!

As Nasujiro twisted and swung his sword, the air violently distorted at the moment of opening, and countless pale, vibrating particles instantly converged.

Gern's figure appeared suddenly as if stepping out of the void!

His right hand clenched tightly, Conqueror's Haki crackling with dark purple lightning, and without the slightest hesitation, he delivered an uppercut.

It slammed squarely into the chin of Nasujuro's upper body!

"boom!!!!!!"

A terrifying thud was accompanied by the faint sound of bones cracking!

Nasujiro's head snapped back, and the punch sent him (his horse) levitating into the air, causing him to lose his balance!

The initial advantage has once again been firmly grasped by Gern!

Fighter opportunities are fleeting!

Gern gave this immortal old monster no chance to adjust or retaliate.

His figure flashed again, returning to the spot where the black blade Bahuang had been stuck.

He didn't draw his sword, but instead slowly clasped his hands together in front of him, aiming at the target.

"Boom!!!"

Just as their palms came together...

Within the small frame, everything in sight—the air, the light, even the ground beneath one's feet and the sky—began to collapse wildly inward!

Countless pale, vibrating particles were forcibly drawn from all directions and from the void, converging here.

Between his palms, it compressed into an extremely unstable, basketball-sized, pale core that caused the entire island and even the surrounding seas to tremble!

The world is between your hands!

“Old man…” Gern looked through the frame of his palm at Nasujuro, who had just regained his footing, and a near-fanatical smile spread across his face.

"Let me let you experience it for yourself..."

With his palms clasped together, carrying the core of destruction, he slammed them against the air in front of him, as if pushing open a forbidden door, using all his strength!

What is...?

"Let's have a 'skyquake'!!!!"

The words were spoken, but not a sound!

Rather... within the palm of your hand, the world's... lament!

Starting from the direction in which Gern struck with his palms, the Creator God's brushstrokes violently tore apart the entire sky!

No, not just the sky!

Wherever the crack passes, space itself shatters like fragile glass!

It revealed the deep, chaotic, and destructive void of darkness that lay behind it!

The clouds in the sky were instantly evaporated and torn apart, the sunlight was distorted and dimmed, and the atmosphere was completely emptied, forming a terrifying vacuum!

The will of "collapse" and "reconstruction" devoured Nasujuro and everything behind him!

The speed was not fast in Nasujiro's eyes or in his perception, but he was locked on, which made him feel a tearing and collapse from the level of his soul!

"With Lord Im's 'blessing'... I will never be defeated!!"

Nasujuro let out a hysterical roar, relying on his almost abnormal self-healing ability, forcibly pouring all his power into the demon sword and unleashing a slash!

"May the Yellow Springs be reduced to ashes!!!"

The pitch-black demonic flames transformed into a death torrent that devoured everything, surging upwards!

next moment

Pale and black, tremors and death

It erupted with a deafening roar!

Chapter 571 Deathly Aura of the Underworld

"call out!!"

A figure transformed into a shooting star, soaring from the center of the explosion into the sky, instantly rising to a higher point in the heavens!

Vibrating particles surrounded Gern, and he suddenly crossed his arms in front of him, letting out a furious roar that resounded through the sky.

"Heavenly Tremor - Thousand Light Wheels!!!"

Buzz—Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

In an instant, hundreds of rapidly spinning pale energy spheres appeared out of thin air, centered on him!

A devastating meteor shower, trailing long, luminous tails, hurtled downwards towards the body shattered by the earlier clash.

Nasujuro, who was rapidly recovering thanks to the "Blessing of Immortality," unleashed a torrent of energy!

In the blink of an eye, a series of blasts completely engulfed the area!

Blinding white light, mixed with smoke and dust, flesh (regenerating again) and bone fragments (constantly regenerating), exploded wildly.

The earth was repeatedly plowed, and the island trembled violently!

"The Underworld..."

At that moment, a low, hoarse, cold shout came from the center of the devastating bombing!

Immediately afterwards, a blade of light that severed the boundary between life and death tore through the smoke and fire of the explosion, slashing upwards!

Wherever the blade flashed, everything was cleaved in two, leaving behind a clear, ominous trail in the vacuum!

"Thump!" Nasujuro's figure burst out from the smoke and dust!

His appearance was even more miserable and terrifying than before, with half of his body still frantically regenerating.

But within those empty eye sockets burned a dark yellow fire of the underworld, black flames forming beneath the bone hooves, treading upon the air.

Unleashing terrifying speed, its massive body merged with the gigantic First Generation Kitetsu in its hand, which had expanded several times its original size and was wreathed in dense Yellow Spring Death Qi.

It transformed into a death sentence descending from the sky, its blade pointing directly at Gern in the high heavens!

From top to bottom, with force!

"Good timing!!"

There was no fear in Gern's eyes as he suddenly stretched out his right hand toward the island below!

"Clang, buzz!!!"

The black sword Bahuang, stuck in the ground, let out an excited sword cry, broke free from the earth, transformed into a black lightning bolt, shot into the sky, and fell into Gern's palm!

Gern gripped the hilt of the Eight Desolations Blade tightly with both hands, allowing the Eight Desolations to absorb his domineering aura!

Dark purple lightning crackled around the black blade, merging violently with the pale shockwave emanating from it, creating a trembling roar!

Without flinching, he met the deadly strike descending from the sky head-on, unleashing a full-force slash from the bottom up with Bahuang!

"Heavenly Tremor - Reverse Roll!!!"

"Ugh!!!"

"drink!!!"

The two men simultaneously let out a low growl.

Darkness and paleness, death and tremors—two opposing forces clashed fiercely in mid-air.

The burst of energy completely tore apart all the surrounding clouds, and a huge crater was pressed into the sea below!

Just as this power reached its peak...

On Nasujuro's mangled body, there had previously been orange-red flames emanating from the Netherworld.

It erupted again!

This time it was even more intense, even more deathly silent, with countless souls wailing within!

At the same time, his hoarse voice rang in Gern's ears.

"The Yellow Springs... Funeral Procession."

As soon as he finished speaking, orange-red flames spread along the blade of the first generation of Onikiri, instantly entangling Gern's Eight Desolations and attempting to invade Gern's body!

An indescribable chill and deathly aura, seemingly capable of freezing the soul, eroding life, and dragging all things into the eternal silence of the "Yellow Springs."

It surged into Gern's body through the gap where the blade clashed with the domineering aura!

“Mythical Zoan species are just different…” As he sensed the “rule-based” erosion of his life essence and soul, Gern’s pupils suddenly contracted!

It momentarily faltered and crumbled in the face of this eerie "cold air of the underworld"!

That's the opening!

"Bang!!!!!"

Nasujuro suddenly pressed down on the First Generation Kitetsu!

Gern was hit head-on, and his entire body was slammed down from the sky at a terrifying speed several times the speed of sound onto the deserted island below!

"BOOM!!!!!"

The island trembled violently, and a huge crater with a diameter of over 100 meters suddenly formed at the impact point, its depth unfathomable!

There was no smoke, but rather at the very bottom of that deep pit...

An astonishing chill from the underworld is spreading wildly from the impact center!

The pit walls, rubble, and even the drifting dust were all being covered at a visible speed with a layer of deathly, orange-red frost!

The chilling air of the underworld is freezing, eroding, and devouring everything at the bottom of the pit, including Gern!

.......

Nasujuro hovered in mid-air, breathing heavily, staring at the scene.

"Being swallowed by the 'Yellow Springs' is an irreversible... true 'death'."

At the bottom of the deep pit, in the center of the spreading frost, Gern's figure was rapidly covered by orange-red ice, about to be completely extinguished in the next moment.

However, just as the chilling air of the underworld was about to completely freeze him into an ice sculpture at the last moment...

Beneath the ice, a faint, dark purple light, like an indomitable star, suddenly shone brightly!

Then, the faint light spread rapidly, and then came the second, the third...

"Crack..."
