Absolute Death Game-Chapter 462 - 48 Evil God

Sword Control Technique—Nine Heavens Thunder Fire Sword! As Xiao Buli shouted, the Glowing Light Sword whizzed into the clouds, and in less than two seconds, it fell back down. This time, however, the body of the Glowing Light gleamed with the bright white light of lightning. Xiao Buli pointed his finger, and the electric light on the Glowing Light's body streaked through the space between him and the cave like a bolt of lightning. The serpent demons, having suffered a major loss from this attack just a moment before, were no fools. Seeing the lightning cleave towards them, those who could dodge twisted their bodies immediately, swimming to the side. Those in the inner circle who couldn't dodge were blasted into nothingness.

No sooner had the lightning fallen than Xiao Buli immediately ordered the giant python. Since it was his pet, the giant python was in complete accord with Xiao Buli, moving as if they were one and the same, highly responsive, nearly chasing the tail of the lightning bolt—the python reached the edge of the large pit in an instant.

This action provoked an unprecedented resistance from the snake horde. The serpent demons let out a pitiful scream, a piercing sound like that of a child whose beloved toy had been snatched away, assaulting the eardrums.

Subsequently, with a speed they had never shown before, the serpent demons closed in on the path ahead of the giant python. Claws and venomous arrows fell like rain upon the python, and some of the crazed serpent demons even scaled the python using their sharp claws.

But unfortunately for them, the Lava Giant Python had the passive skill of Lesser Dragon Blood. Damage from poison and acid was greatly reduced, with only a few drops of health being lost with each strike from a poison arrow—a mere tickle to a creature with tens of thousands of health points like the Lava Giant Python. As for the climbing serpent demons, the python paid them no heed. With a twist of its body, the force generated between its scales was enough to shake them off to the ground. But like mad, once they hit the ground, they immediately leapt back up and rejoined the fray with even more ferocity.

Standing atop the python's head, Xiao Buli looked down at the struggling serpent demons below as if he were watching ants. A sense of excitement flashed through his mind, a feeling he knew to be that of the python. As they were now in perfect harmony, it seemed the python was also extremely interested in the item within the pit.

The giant python opened its massive mouth and let out an excited roar, increasing the speed of its movements beneath him. Clearly, there was something within the pit the python desperately wanted. For some reason, Xiao Buli suddenly felt that this item might just be the fallen Demon Star from the story Jingci once told him. If he remembered correctly, Jingci had mentioned that within the Barbaric Wastelands there was a Barbarian Ancient Country where, a long time ago, a Demon Star had fallen and since then, monsters roamed and Demon Beasts rampaged—causing the civilization of the ancient country to vanish. If his bold guess was correct, then what was inside this large pit could very well be a fragment of that original Demon Star.

At this thought, Xiao Buli's heart throbbed with excitement. He remembered that Jingci had transformed Maoqiu into an unrecognizable being using just a Demon Star Fragment. Not only in appearance but also in fighting power, Maoqiu had undergone a qualitative mutation. If what he was about to encounter was the main body of the Demon Star, wouldn't the effect be terrifying? It would indeed be the perfect treat for his ferocious pet, the Lava Giant Python. With this in mind, he leaped down from atop the python's head and pointed towards the pit, prompting the giant python to plunge into it without hesitation.

However, it was apparent that Xiao Buli was not the only one coveting the Demon Star. Before he had appeared, these serpent demons had seemingly been in the company of the Demon Star for a considerable time. Although it was unclear if they had always behaved this way, it was evident that the Demon Star was extremely important to them.

Those remaining serpent demons that were still alive now moved with incredible speed, resembling lightning as they all madly rushed back. Previously, it had only been the serpent demons around the edge of the pit that tried to resist Xiao Buli, but now even more came to defend, making the giant python seem somewhat sluggish in its movements.

But by this time, Xiao Buli was no longer a novice. His means of slaying enemies were far from weak. He took out the Obsidian Crystal Coffin from his pack, channeling True Qi into it. Once his pure white True Qi was injected, it became clearly visible inside the coffin. As the True Qi circulated, the crystal coffin emitted a restless vibration. Finally, the white light dissipated and the crystal coffin in Xiao Buli's hands turned even darker, as if able to absorb the surrounding light. With a strong push from Xiao Buli, the crystal coffin landed on the ground, and with a shudder, it grew as large as an actual coffin in the blink of an eye—about two to three meters tall, emanating a chilling aura of death and standing ominously at the edge of the large pit.

"Open," Xiao Buli bellowed.

With a sudden snap, the lid of the coffin burst open, and from within the crystal coffin, clumps of black, cotton-like mist poured out continuously. The black mist, dense yet faint, made it impossible to discern exactly what lay behind the fleeting fog—an abyss so dark it seemed to lead to hell. Then, from that darkness, a Corpse Evil with a body of pitch black and razor-sharp claws like hooks emerged. Its figure was initially blurred but then solidified, its hair shining with a dark glow. One side of its face appeared composed of gnarled roots, both wooden and sinister, while the position of its eyes held black pupils, clearly devoid of any consciousness of their own.

This black Corpse Evil was one of the types of zombies and a byproduct of the Obsidian Crystal Coffin. Once activated with True Qi, the Obsidian Crystal Coffin would produce a zombie every ten seconds. The zombies were at the command of the owner of the crystal coffin, their combat ability far surpassing the Talisman Soldiers that Xiao Buli had previously summoned—not by just one or two grades. Though this was the first opportunity for Xiao Buli to use the crystal coffin since its creation, he was unsure of its precise power, but just the appearance alone was undeniably cool.
