Chapter 164 The End
Chapter 164 The End
As the heart entered his stomach, Ash suddenly felt a fishy smell rushing to his head, making him want to vomit.
But he still suppressed it with his great will, activated the Heavenly Punishment, and combined with [Seven Sins: Gluttony], he quickly purified and digested the core of this corrupted land.
The whole world was shaking. The originally blood-red sky began to fade, and the bone ridge and flesh mountain began to degrade.
Kalu was horrified. It didn't expect that Ash's digestive ability was so terrifying that he could actually digest the core of the Corrupted Land. This was a powerful core containing the power of Khorne. Even the Chosen One would need a certain amount of time to purify it.
Without hesitation, Kalu rushed towards Ash, cut him open and took out the core in time!
Ash activated [Teleport] without hesitation. The Land of Corruption was just like the Death Arena in the past, difficult to enter but easy to leave.
The next second, Ash disappeared, and the next second, Yuan Haonan and other demigods disappeared.
After using [Gather] to summon Yuan Haonan and other demigods, Ash stood on the Jingguan and looked at Karu in the corrupted land.
Then he raised his fist with his middle finger sticking out, and anyone could sense the insult in it.
Naturally, Kalu was furious and rushed out of the corrupted land, ready to tear Ash to pieces.
The sky was dyed black, the moonlight was shining, and one sword light after another came at the speed of light, piercing the rushing Kalu into a hedgehog.
It was Ye Lin who had hidden again. Seeing that Kalu actually rushed out of the corrupted land, she naturally had to take action.
Upon seeing this, Yaxiu, Yuan Haonan and other demigods surrounded Karu again and wanted to kill him.
Naturally, they did not dare to confront Kalu head-on in the corrupted land, but outside, although Kalu was also very strong, he was not so strong that they could not deal with him.
After a round of siege, Kalu was directly defeated, but no one showed a happy expression, because this thing was just a clone.
The corrupted land had not yet dissipated, and Kalu, who had gathered again, stared at Ash in the crowd with resentful eyes. Without saying a word, he dispersed again.
It knew that this place of corruption was gone.
Ye Lin stood in the corrupted land, with circles of silver light spreading periodically with her as the center.
The blood color faded away from the sky and earth at a faster speed.
Khorne, who was fighting with Chongming, also knew that one of his corrupt places had been eradicated, and he roared even more violently, swinging the heavy axe and sword in his hands even more violently.
Chongming's expression also changed. Knowing that Yaxu had succeeded, she withdrew from the corrupt land of Nanman without hesitation.
Khorne also chased him out, and Chongming also erupted with even more terrifying power outside. He whipped his legs and made a cold sound:
"Get back here, Yu!"
Boom! Khorne was smashed back into the corrupted land of the southern barbarians.
In the main material world, these true gods will be greatly weakened, and only places like the corrupted land, the holy city and other fragments of the kingdom of God can accommodate their full power.
“Roar!” Khorne let out a violent roar, making people feel that he was not like a god but a wild beast. However, this was also his normal state, otherwise he would not have been called the violent beast.
He rushed out again to fight with Chongming, but was beaten back by Chongming again and again, until this corrupt land reached the limit of its ability to support his descent.
Khorne was forced to teleport back to his kingdom of God, and Chongming had no intention of taking this opportunity to break the corrupt land of the Nanman, because she had tried this before and it didn't work at all.
Kalu can still summon Khorne again, it's just a matter of how much it will cost.
But there is definitely a limit to the price it can pay.
Chongming stood in mid-air, his phoenix eyes staring indifferently at the corrupt land of the Southern Barbarians.
Now that the Northern Di have been eliminated, the overall strength of the Chonglong Empire has surpassed the remaining three corrupt places, and the offensive and defensive situations have changed.
Just because you didn’t succeed last time doesn’t mean you won’t be able to do it this time.
The people of the Heavy Dragon Empire also evacuated in an orderly manner from the two corrupt lands of Dongyi and Xirong because the Chosen One of Khorne had arrived.
In the corrupt land of Beidi, Ash sat on the city wall with his eyes half closed. He was a little overwhelmed.
This core may not have much energy, but it is like eating konjac, low in calories and very filling.
After a while, Ash let out a breath, finally digesting it all.
The level didn't increase much, it only reached level ninety-three, but there were still some big gains.
A sea of blood spread out under Ash's feet, and the blood-red color became brighter and brighter.
The unique skill [Shura] has been strengthened, and it absorbs the divinity in the core.
He could feel that [Ashura] had a new ability that could suppress the strength of the enemies in the sea of blood, but it had not yet been fully formed.
Ash looked at the barren land. It was the corrupt land of the former Northern Di people, but it had been purified.
The core only serves as an anchor point, with high quality and small quantity. The real big deal is the land of corruption itself. Unfortunately, that is Ye Lin’s spoils of war. After all, she is the main force in this battle.
Otherwise, if he devoured it, not only would the level be raised by one or two levels, but the new ability of [Shura] could also be perfected.
But one or two more cores can also be perfect.
Asher looked in other directions. The Bloodthirsty Spirit, Kalu, was a rare strategic talent chosen by God Khorne, otherwise he would not have developed one corrupted land into four.
Therefore, it should be impossible to launch another surprise attack. Kalu must have a countermeasure. If they launch another surprise attack, it is very likely that they will fall into a trap.
However, even if a surprise attack fails, a forced attack should be possible.
This is what Ash thought, and so did Chongming.
In just one day, the demigods on Ash's side had dispersed to the outskirts of the remaining three corrupted places. They were there to provide cover for the real main force.
In the corrupted land of the Southern Barbarians, Ash stood outside, while inside, Kalu was suspended in the air, watching him silently.
It could sense that the Lord was already getting restless, and couldn't wait to come down and chop this man to death, making his blood into a holy spring that would gush out forever.
But the more this happened, the more it dared not let the Lord come, because it knew that this person was just a bait.
Once His Majesty descends, the other two corrupted places will inevitably be attacked.
But one Ash can make Khorne endure for the time being, but adding another bait will not make much difference.
A one-armed old man silently appeared beside Ash.
"Hello, Senior Brother Jiansan." Yaxiu greeted him.
"I am old, but my brain is still young. I don't remember having a fellow apprentice like you," said the old man.
"I collected it across time and space." Ash shrugged.
The old man looked at the corrupted land of the southern barbarians and said, "Then you have a good chance. Go ahead."
"Okay." Ash nodded.
The next second, the two men's sword intent soared into the sky, connecting heaven and earth, as if two peerless divine swords were unsheathed here.
One is extremely pure, with a sword covering heaven and earth; the other is extremely sharp, unique.
They seem different, but they come from the same source.
The inner world of the corrupt land of the Southern Barbarians is angry, and it is roaring, wanting to kill these two people.
Even Kalu cannot go against such a domineering will. After all, Khorne is the real ruler.
He came again and killed the one-armed old man.
When He fights, He always kills the strong first.
The one-armed old man also drew his sword and charged forward. Although he was somewhat unhappy about being used as a sword by Chongming, compared to the revenge for his master's death, this unhappiness could be put aside for the time being.
The two fought outside the corrupted land. The one-armed old man was not stupid enough to fight a true God in His kingdom, even if that kingdom was broken.
Khorne didn't care about the loss of home advantage. He only cared about the fighting and the gushing of blood.
After seducing Khorne, Ash also left the battlefield. Now, his strength is still far behind Khorne.
But he wanted to run away, but someone was not happy about it.
At Kalu's signal, a southern barbarian captain of 100,000 men chased out and killed Ash.
As Ash looked at the Nanman leader of 100,000 men running out, his fleeing steps also stopped.
He had studied the strength of these captains of a hundred thousand men, and found that they were about the same as the lizardman favored by Khorne, that is, pseudo-demigods.
The dessert was delivered to his door, so there was no reason for him not to eat it.
However, as soon as his [Fire Eyes] were activated, Ash immediately turned around and retreated strategically.
Damn it, Kalu actually hid himself in the body of that captain of 100,000 men.
Without using the [Four Intents], he does have the ability to defeat ordinary demigods, but ordinary demigods do not include core demigods like Kalu.
Kalu chased for a while and then stopped. It was too far away from the corrupted land and it would be bad if it couldn't get back in time.
And it also had to be on guard against this being Ash's plan, because apart from Jian San and him, it didn't see any other demigods here.
Ash stopped and looked at the 100,000-man Nanman leader who ran back. He narrowed his eyes and clicked his lips.
In fact, he did have the idea of luring the snake out of its hole, but unfortunately Kalu was too cunning and was not fooled.
Standing in the distance, Ash watched the battle between Sword Three and Khorne.
Then he shook his head slightly. Jian San's strength was still a little lacking, and he was obviously suppressed by Khorne.
Even though he was suppressed by the world, Khorne's combat power was still incredibly high, and was estimated to be as strong as the top ten demigods.
"So in order to kill him, I must at least reach the same level as Empress Chongming."
Ash put his fingers under his chin and thought.
On the other side, in the corrupted land of Xirong, Chongming arrived. Without any extra moves, Chongming rushed in directly.
Kalu arrived instantly and entangled Chongming with the demigods of Xirong.
In the opposite direction, Chonglou and Chongyuan, who received the signal, led the demigods of the empire into the corrupt land of Dongyi.
Blood-red light beams descended one after another, and strange but hideous figures walked out from them one after another.
These are the rulers of other corrupted lands, and Kalu called them to help.
One of them is an acquaintance of Ash, Xavier of Bloody Battle.
The war broke out in an instant and ended within tens of seconds.
After all, there are too many demigods on Chonglong's side, and they have clear goals, just grab the core and run away.
On the other side, Ash looked at the glowing jade cicada in his hand and knew that Dongyi's operation was successful.
【Red Thread】
A red line appeared from the fingertips, and a tall figure was teleported over. It was Chongming.
"Successful?" Chongming asked.
"It worked." Ash nodded.
"That's good." Chongming looked at Khorne and then rushed over.
She had to beat Khorne back quickly, otherwise by the time she got there, at least all the creatures in the land would have died.
"Leave it to me." Chongming rushed to the battlefield and said to Jian San.
Jian San gave her a complicated look, but still retreated reluctantly.
Chongming and Khorne fought again.
Finally, with a roar, Khorne reluctantly returned to his own kingdom.
This made Ash sigh with regret. How come being a god is less free than not being a god?
Just when Ash thought the dust had settled, a pillar of blood-red light descended upon the corrupted land of the Southern Barbarians.
A ferocious figure wearing full body armor descended and started killing the surrounding barbarian soldiers.
Skarbrand was once the most famous dreaddaemon under Khorne, but after being instigated by Tzeentch, he challenged Khorne.
The result was undoubtedly a failure, and its soul was wiped out by Khorne, turning it into a divine evil, a monster that always fought on instinct.
Repeated defeats have completely angered the evil god Khorne.
He sent down this treasure to bring slaughter upon the world in order to wash away this increasingly intense humiliation.
"Hold it and wait for me to come." Chongming said this and disappeared.
It's time to [tie the red thread].
"Hey, this is a bit embarrassing."
Ash looked at Kalu who was eyeing him eagerly and Skarbrand who was gradually being led out of the corrupt land of the southern barbarians.
He was once one of the top three terrifying demigods in the world, and he was the chosen one of Khorne. All his power was connected to Khorne. In other words, even without a soul, he could still use his power through instinct, depending on whether Khorne was willing or not.
It is obvious that Khorne is quite happy now.
This also means that its strength will not drop too much, at most it will drop from the top three to the top ten, which is the same level as Khorne who was just suppressed by the world.
Ash glanced at the corrupted land and found that demigods of the same level as the Lord of the Southern Barbarians were not there, and Kalu who stayed here seemed to be just a clone.
After thinking about it for a while, Ash knew what they were doing. They were going to hold Chongming back.
Their strength is indeed not as good as Chongming's, but that may not be the case for the others. If Chongming dares to leave, they will rush out of the corrupt land and make the western border of the Chonglong Empire uninhabited for thousands of miles.
This is also the drawback of this plan. The excessive concentration of strength has caused some of the defenses to be extremely empty, allowing Carew to seize this weakness.
By the time the other demigods get back, this place will probably have been turned into a sea of blood and corpses by Skarbrand.
Fortunately, there is a solution.
Ash threw out a puppet, and when it landed, it immediately turned into a woman who looked like Chongming.
This is the life-saving item given to him by Chongming. It was originally used to resist possible attacks from Khorne, but it is just right to use it here now.
This life-saving item is designed to counter the full force attack of Khorne's true body without being suppressed in the corrupted land.
It is also feasible to lower the level a few levels and use it to hold back Skarbrand, which is why Chongming let Ash hold him back before he disappeared.
It was obvious that she wanted Ash to use the life-saving item she gave him.
Ash had no intention of being reluctant and used it immediately.
After the puppet transformed into the Empress of Chongming, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes. Without hesitation, she stood in front of Skarbrand and fought with him.
This battle was earth-shattering.
The shock wave generated by the collision between the two tore apart the clouds in the sky and created cracks on the earth.
But the puppet was not the empress herself after all. Without any backup energy support, it only fought for a while before being chopped into pieces by Skarbrand's axe.
Jian San took action again. The ones who had a grudge against his master were only the imperial family of the empire, and it had nothing to do with the common people below. He couldn't just ignore the deaths of these lives.
But his move made a certain evil god feel murderous again.
He came, and came into the body of Skarbrand.
After all, this person was once His chosen one, so it was only natural for His consciousness to descend.
"Skarbrand" has improved again. Just now it could fight on equal terms with Jian San, but now it is suppressing Jian San.
Ash looked at this scene and knew that he had no choice but to take action.
If we delay any further, Jian San will die.
After all, he was the teacher's true disciple. It would be a pity for him to die here.
"Brother, take the sword." Yaxiu raised his hand and threw a long sword that looked like gold but not gold, and like jade but not jade, shot towards Jian San.
Jian San was a little confused as to why Ash was handing over the sword, but he knew that in this situation, Ash would not do anything aimless.
Jian San stepped back and raised his sword to catch the flying sword thrown by Ash.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the two swords touched, the other sword merged into his sword.
Zhu Xian Sword, the sharpest sword in the world!
This thought came to Jian San's mind, and he immediately understood what it meant.
Restraining his surprise, Jian San once again joined the battle with Skarbrand, and this time he was on equal terms with him.
This time, every time he swung his sword, he left a noticeable wound on Skarbrand's body.
Ash looked at this scene and felt relieved.
【Tong Tian Si Yi】All four swords must be used to create the effect of "death" of heaven and earth, so exposing a single sword is nothing, and that's why he lent the Zhu Xian Sword to Jian San.
Moreover, the cost of making the Zhu Xian Sword is the lowest. You only need to consume some sword energy and sword intent in daily life. It doesn’t matter if it is consumed once. At most you can just replenish it more often.
However, the Zhu Xian Sword is not a real sword after all, and it has durability. Yaxiu is also paying close attention to the battle situation. If Jian San fails to perform well, he will summon Ye Lin over.
This involves the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. This is not the time to be afraid that your woman might get hurt.
Fortunately, it was not necessary in the end, as Chongming arrived.
A crack was torn in space, and Chongming appeared on the battlefield.
After taking a quick look at the battle situation, a hint of surprise appeared in Chongming's eyes, but now was obviously not the time to ask more questions.
With a step in the air, she joined the battle and teamed up with Jian San to suppress Skarbrand.
The battle lasted for three days and three nights.
The blood column appeared and Skarbrand was recalled. Its body was so precious that even Khorne was reluctant to waste it.
This made Ash's face fall, as he had wanted to take the opportunity to purify it and eat it himself.
A few days later, Chongming used the same method to eradicate the corrupt areas of Xirong. This time, Kalu seemed to have given up and did not encounter any decent resistance along the way.
It seems that they are preparing to concentrate their forces to defend the land of the Southern Barbarians.
Chongming tried again to eradicate the last corrupted land, Nanman, but unfortunately failed.
Khorne is always an obstacle that cannot be avoided, and it is a big obstacle.
Fight again, and fail again.
Chongming also fully realized that it would be impossible to eradicate the corrupt land of Nanman in a short period of time under the current conditions, because the corrupt areas within his country would provide support.
If we want to eradicate it in one fell swoop, we may have to work together with other countries, but it is not easy to contact each other since we are so far apart.
The only solution now is to slowly consume the corrupted land of the Southern Barbarians so that it can no longer support the coming of Khorne.
