God of Pets-Chapter 560: Paperman’s Fourth Awakening

Chen Guan had not planned to dodge; he knew his speed would never allow him to evade Mo Hongxue's attack.

Blood flames surged around him, and Chen Guan used his self-created Body Protection Divine Skill.

All his other abilities fell far short of Mo Hongxue's, but this Body Protection Divine Skill was different.

Within the Body Protection Divine Skill was a 60-level Blood Burst Divine Skill, combined with several Body Protection Secret Skills to produce a defensive capability beyond what a Fourth Awakened could break through.

A typical Five Awakened would find it difficult to harm him, and even a regular Six Awakened might have trouble.

If it were Mo Qianpo, Chen Guan definitely wouldn't dare to rely on the Body Protection Divine Skill to withstand his attack, but Mo Hongxue clearly specialized in speed, and those who excel in speed generally don't possess very strong destructive power, at least not as much as Mo Qianpo.

Of course, this was the only solution left; he couldn't dodge Mo Hongxue's attack, and failing to harden himself against it was not an option.

The My Secret Collection couldn't be used again in a short time; going head-to-head with Mo Hongxue, this was all he had.

Having too much Primordial Energy was also a drawback. Chen Guan had over ten billion in Primordial Energy capacity; My Secret required over ten billion Primordial Energy to activate.

Previously, at the million-level threshold, it would recover in just a few days.

But now it takes more than a hundred days to recover, meaning Chen Guan would be unable to use the Secret Technique during this time, which was incredibly trying for him.

Chen Guan even resolved to leave the Secret Realm immediately for the Divine Land once things here were resolved; without a trump card in hand, he felt uneasy in the Grotto Heaven.

Seeing Mo Hongxue rushing to Chen Guan, the dagger and Snake Sword in his hands were about to pierce Chen Guan's body, but he suddenly staggered. His toe tripped over something unknown, nearly causing him to fall.

Fortunately, Mo Hongxue had strong self-control and stabilized his frame, his Snake Sword and dagger still thrusting at Chen Guan.

However, due to that stumble, the power and speed of his sword and dagger noticeably diminished.

Even so, Mo Hongxue believed this force was still enough to kill Chen Guan, this Four Awakened Cultivator.

But he was puzzled; there appeared to be nothing there, yet he stumbled. Such an event had never occurred before.

But in the current situation, he didn't have time to examine it closely; he could only try to unleash his power and aim to kill Chen Guan.

Gao Weiqiang quietly retracted the foot he had stretched out, his gaze fixed on Mo Hongxue staggering as he charged at Chen Guan.

Mo Hongxue's Snake Sword stabbed into the blood flame surrounding Chen Guan, but it felt like it was met with a marsh-like cushioning force, and the sword's thrust diminished quickly.

Moreover, as the Snake Sword pierced, a faint force seemed to counter the Snake Sword, even showing signs of rebounding it.

The dagger encountered a similar situation; as it cut downwards, the rebounding force grew stronger.

Mo Hongxue was shocked, doubtful in his heart: "How could a Four Awakened Cultivator have such a strong Body Protection Divine Skill?"

But he still did not abandon his judgment; the sword and dagger continued to apply pressure, continually bearing down.

The Snake Sword's tip had already pressed against Chen Guan's chest, leaving a sword mark on the armor manifesting from the Lifebound Star Mask, and the armor on his neck was slashed by the dagger.

Mo Hongxue was indeed too strong, even pressing against the Body Protection Divine Skill, leaving wounds on Chen Guan.

The double enhancement from the Secret Technique of One didn't fully block his attack, but it was clear Mo Hongxue had a hard time advancing, inching forward rather than piercing through directly.

Watching the sword tip pierce the armor, break the skin, and near the heart, Chen Guan's eyes suddenly sharpened.

"To be a Savior, I must first be able to save myself, right? If I can't even save myself, how can I be a Savior?" As Chen Guan's thoughts churned, he eagerly sought to rescue himself.

Suddenly, a strange power arose from an unknown source and surged into the Body Protection Divine Skill.

The blood flames on Chen Guan's body instantly swelled, combined with the stored power, forcefully repelling Mo Hongxue away.

Mo Hongxue flew helplessly back; he couldn't believe it, being knocked out like that.

But the direction he flew was exactly where Bai Xiuyan was pursuing, giving Mo Hongxue no chance to adjust. Bai Xiuyan stabbed a sword into his back and through his head, piercing out from between his brows.

In the sudden turn of events, Mo Hongxue had no time to react and died under Bai Xiuyan's sword.

Even in death, Mo Hongxue couldn't believe Chen Guan's Body Protection Divine Skill could repel him.

In this battle, the Purple Sun Corps achieved a major victory, slaying over thirty thousand elite demons, most of whom were crushed by Chen Guan's palm, yet it was still a resounding victory.

Crucially, the Nine Demon City was left behind; Mo Qingtian and his forces retreated hurriedly, leaving many resources within Nine Demon City.

This included the wealth Mo Qingtian had amassed over the years; given his identity and status and the original stature of Nine Demon City, the resources here were unmatched by Celestial Yang City.

For an average person, gaining Nine Demon City's resources would mean instant financial freedom.

Even after entering the Great Cave Heaven, these resources would last quite a while.

Of course, for Chen Guan, these resources also represented an enormous number, but even with so many resources, they couldn't help him upgrade quickly or recover the Secret Collection's Primordial Energy swiftly.

The warehouse at Nine Demon City contained various minerals, Secret Treasures, Secret Cores, Secret Spirit Materials, all easily claimed by Chen Guan.

Before Chen Guan had a chance to inventory the spoils, he discovered the Paperman smoothly leveled up to 31, awakening its Lifebound Star.

Paperman (Secret God): Level 31

Primordial Energy: 364.

Growth Rate: 3.0.

Lifebound Talent: ???.

Secret Technique: ???.

Secret Skill: ???.

Secret Treasure: ???.

Secret Collection: Netherworld Emperor.

Lifebound Star: Netherworld Emperor Star.

As the Paperman awakened, the surroundings suddenly turned pitch black, black so deep that one couldn't see a hand in front of one's face.

This eerie phenomenon didn't occur solely within the Pengxuan Grotto Heaven; almost simultaneously, all the Blessed Lands, Grotto Heavens, Great Cave Heavens, and Secret Realms entered a moment of darkness.

All Secret Realms simultaneously plunged into absolute darkness, with all light resources completely ineffective, unable to illuminate anything. Only the Yellow Springs River in each Secret Realm emitted a ghostly glow, becoming the world's sole remaining glow.

The absolute darkness lasted only briefly before normality returned, leaving many perplexed about what had transpired.

With no twinkling starlight, no one knew it was the abnormal appearance of the Lifebound Star.

Once it became known that all Secret Realms simultaneously experienced this absolute darkness phenomenon, with only the Yellow Springs River showing a ghostly glow, many speculated about what this might mean.
