Absolute Death Game-Chapter 459 - 48 Evil God

Sword Control Technique—Nine Heavens Thunder Fire Sword! With Xiao Buli’s loud shout, the Glowing Light Sword whizzed into the clouds, and in less than two seconds, it fell back down. This time, however, Glowing Light’s body was flashing with a bright white thunderous light. Xiao Buli pointed his hand, and the electric light on Glowing Light’s body struck like a bolt of lightning, cracking across the space between him and the cave entrance. Having already suffered from this move, the Serpent Demons were not foolish. Seeing the lightning slashing towards them, those who could dodge twisted their bodies and slithered aside. The ones too close within the inner circle were obliterated to nothingness.

No sooner had the lightning fallen than Xiao Buli immediately commanded the Lava Giant Python. As his pet, the Lava Giant Python shared a spiritual bond with Xiao Buli. Their movements were as synchronized as if they were one person. Almost chasing the tail of the lightning, the Lava Giant Python swiftly reached the edge of the large pit.

But this action provoked an unprecedented resistance from the horde of snakes. A sorrowful scream came from the Serpent Demons, a haunting cry like that of children being deprived of their beloved toys, piercing painfully through the eardrums.

Then, with speed they had never shown before, they gathered in the path of the advancing Lava Giant Python. Claws and poison Arrows rained down on the Lava Giant Python. Some crazed Serpent Demons even used their sharp claws to start climbing onto the python’s body.

However, regrettably for them, the Lava Giant Python had the Passive Skill of Lesser Dragon Blood, which neutralized most of the damage from poisons and acid. A poison arrow hitting it merely made a few health points drop – barely a tickle to a creature with tens of thousands of health points. The climbing Serpent Demons were disregarded by the Lava Giant Python. A mere twist of its body was enough to fling them to the ground. But those Serpent Demons, maddened, leapt right back up from the ground and re-entered the fray even more fiercely.

Xiao Buli stood atop the Lava Giant Python’s head, watching the struggling Serpent Demons below as if they were mere ants. A surge of excitement flashed in his mind; he knew this was the Python’s feelings. Their minds were in harmony. It seemed the Python was also extremely interested in whatever lay at the bottom of the pit.

The Lava Giant Python opened its gaping maw and let out an excited roar. Its movements quickened below him; clearly, whatever was at the bottom of the pit was something it greatly desired. Xiao Buli suddenly felt that the object could very possibly be the Demon Star mentioned in Jingci’s story. If he remembered correctly, Jingci had told him that within the Barbaric Wastelands there was an ancient country. Long ago, a Demon Star had fallen upon this ancient land, and ever since, monsters had roamed and Demon Beasts had wreaked havoc, leading to the extinction of the ancient civilization. If his bold guess was not wrong, then what lay at the bottom of this pit could very well be a piece of that very Demon Star.

At this thought, Xiao Buli’s heart throbbed with excitement. He still remembered how, with just a Demon Star Fragment, Jingci had transformed Maoqiu to the point he was unrecognizable – both in appearance and combat power had undergone a metamorphosis. If what he was approaching was the core of the Demon Star, wouldn’t the effect be frighteningly powerful? It was exactly suited for the fierce Lava Giant Python to enjoy. With this in mind, he leapt down from the python’s head and pointed towards the pit. Without hesitation, the Lava Giant Python charged in.

However, it was clear he wasn’t the only one coveting the Demon Star. Before he had arrived, these Serpent Demons seemingly had been accompanying the Demon Star for quite a while. Although he didn’t know if they had always behaved like this, it was imaginable that the Demon Star was very important to them.

The still-living Serpent Demons reacted with lightning speed, all rushing back frantically. Just moments ago, only those near the pit attempted to resist Xiao Buli, but now, many more returned to defend, causing the Lava Giant Python’s movements to seem somewhat sluggish.

However, Xiao Buli was no longer a novice. His methods of slaying enemies were far from weak. He pulled out an Obsidian Crystal Coffin from his bag and channeled True Qi into it. The pure white True Qi entered the coffin and immediately became visible within. As the Qi coursed through, the crystal coffin emitted an uneasy tremble. Eventually, the white glow faded, and the Obsidian Crystal Coffin turned even darker in Xiao Buli’s hands, as if it could absorb the surrounding light. Xiao Buli pushed forcefully, and the coffin landed on the ground, quivering. In the blink of an eye, it grew as large as an actual coffin, two to three meters high, emanating a chilling aura of death and looming over the edge of the large pit.

"Open," Xiao Buli bellowed.

With a clack, the coffin lid burst open. Black, fluffy mist gushed continuously from the Obsidian Crystal Coffin. The dark mist was thick yet faint to the point where one couldn’t make out what lay behind the elusive fog. Dark as if leading to hell, suddenly, a Corpse Evil with a body shrouded in darkness and claws as sharp as hooks emerged from within. Its shape was first blurry, then gradually solidified. Dark hair glistened on its body, and half its face appeared to be made of gnarled tree roots – stiff and terrifying. Where its eyes should be, there was only blackness, clearly devoid of any consciousness.

This dark Corpse Evil was a type of Zombie, a product of the Obsidian Crystal Coffin. Once activated by True Qi, every ten seconds it would produce a Zombie. The zombies, following the orders of the coffin’s master, were much more powerful than the Talisman Soldiers Xiao Buli had previously Summoned – not just by one or one and a half levels. Since refining the coffin, it was Xiao Buli’s first chance to use it, and though he was unsure of its true power, just the sight of it was cool enough.
