Global Dungeon: I Can See the Status Bar

But that unparalleled sword strike had already been unleashed, its edge revealed!

The giant flying sword transformed into a white glow, with pure white Sword Qi rapidly extending from bottom to top, like the dawn piercing the heavens and earth.

”Sizzle!”

The sound of tearing echoed deep within the battlefield.

A massive black shield, entirely formed by the Power of Corruption, appeared along the trajectory of the Sword Qi.

Upon closer inspection, there was a white vertical line on the shield.

A moment later, the shield shattered, and a neat gap was torn through the curtain of darkness.

The piercing sunlight spilled onto the earth, casting a clear reflection of a sword mark on the World Barrier.

Beneath the sword mark was a small half of the True Demon Mother Insect’s head!

This sword, which combined the lifelong cultivation of two of the world’s peak strongmen, even fractured a gap in the world!

”Damn... it!”

A vague intention, accompanied by the True Demon Mother Insect’s painful roar, was released, but only Lu Wenwu understood it clearly.

”This world... damn it!!!”

”The one doomed is you!”

Responding to the True Demon Mother Insect was Lu Wenwu’s explosive shout, and a punch like the Demon Saber annihilating the world.

The Blood Evil Qi that surrounded the battlefield became the best source of nourishment to enhance the power of the Military Killing Fist, doubling the might of this fist technique that ordinarily shouldn’t be so powerful, as if guided by heavenly will!

The roar echoed, and the True Demon Mother Insect’s quickly growing head was again knocked off a small portion, causing its massive body to stagger once more.

”Thirty more seconds... I’ll send you to the Western Heavens myself!” Lu Wenwu punched like a machine, relentless and unceasing.

”Amitabha Buddha... Your Majesty, using the fist of slaughter against a world-annihilating demon, the effect is minimal...”

An old and weary voice sounded in Lu Wenwu’s ear.

He recognized the voice; it was the Void Buddha Venerable.

Before Lu Wenwu could respond, his voice sounded again.

”I know Your Majesty has long sought the method of Merit in vain, so now, let this old monk lend Your Majesty a hand!”

The Void Buddha Venerable’s voice suddenly became magnificent.

Every syllable of the Buddhist Six-Character Mantra was accompanied by rolling sound waves, so sacred and grand.

The towering Golden Buddha Venerable suddenly shattered into a sky full of golden light points, converging toward Lu Wenwu’s fists, rendering even the dragon scales, previously covered in black, back to gold.

In an instant, Lu Wenwu felt his comprehension of Merit Power expanding crazily, and the Merit phenomenon, no less than the Endless Sea of Blood in size, was reflected in the heavens, as if his whole being transformed into a resplendent golden figure.

All things related to Buddhist Technique scattered into the world, soothing the soul fragments scattered again by the exploding Blood Giant.

Only a pure comprehension related to Merit Power remained.

”The Immortal Slayer, it’s going to succeed...”

”Ami... to Fo.” (Amitabha Buddha.)

The voice of the Void Buddha Venerable faded away, and the countdown of the Skill Lu Wenwu had been watching finally reached its final zero.

Lu Wenwu’s face displayed an almost twisted grin, standing mid-air: ”Come! Come and duel with me!”

”You... die!”

The True Demon Mother Insect also roared.

”Ding!”

A faint, almost illusory sound rang in his ears, and an invisible contract will descended, linking both sides with golden chains.

But as Lu Wenwu looked carefully, there appeared to be nothing there.

Everything prior seemed completely illusory, leaving only the enraged True Demon Mother Insect.

The enormous black eyes reflected its own figure, filled with killing intent and brutality.

Only the golden glow emitted by the Glory Battle Pattern dispelled the darkness, proving that what had happened wasn’t a dream.

Glory—every ten minutes, you can attempt to initiate a Glory Duel with any living being you’re fighting. The target has at least a one percent probability of responding. Once accepted, they will not attack other beings until they have either killed you or been killed by you.

This skill, acquired long ago, finally revealed its brilliance today!

At the moment the True Demon Mother Insect accepted Lu Wenwu’s duel, all Split Creatures on the battlefield froze, severing their link with the mother!

The Split Creatures were indeed created by the True Demon Mother Insect, but once birthed, they became individual entities, rather than an extension of the True Demon Mother Insect’s body.

And what defines a duel?

One-on-one, that’s what qualifies as a duel!

Since the True Demon Mother Insect must kill Lu Wenwu before attacking others, yet the Split Creatures aren’t considered part of it.

Thus, after the contract power took effect, these Split Creatures lost command entirely.

They became living puppets, filled with the instincts of slaughter and battle.

Once given a slaughter command, they were the best and bravest warriors.

Yet once control was lost, they were entirely dumb, blood-flesh statues.

The situation, on the brink of collapse, stabilized miraculously just like that!

Facing Lu Wenwu’s wild punch, the True Demon Mother Insect showed no intention to dodge or avoid battle anymore, roaring forward like a moving mountain, incredibly fast.

The regrown pincers, still somewhat fragile, shone with a cold gleam like the sharpest War Saber, reflecting the sun’s golden light.

The dense black aura once again obscured the sun’s brilliance, with the piercing sound of tearing air splitting eardrums.

Shrouded in the thick Power of Corruption, the True Demon Mother Insect clashed with Lu Wenwu with all its might.

Incredibly, Lu Wenwu was defeated!

Although he managed to shatter one of the newly grown pincers, he himself was hurled down to the earth like a cannonball.

”Boom!”

Lu Wenwu forcibly stabilized himself in mid-air, raising clouds beneath his feet, and the Nether Yin Dragon Wings on his back flapped vigorously.

Their immense power generated airwaves and sonic booms directly!

”I recognize your purity!”

Lu Wenwu, surrounded by a bloody aura, gradually merged the vast Blood Sea of Malice into his body.

Simultaneously, his body surged in size, quickly exceeding a thousand meters, continuing to expand!

It halted at ten thousand zhang!

Lu Wenwu transformed into a Dragon Giant with blood-faced fangs, covered in dragon scales all over, his feet ferocious like dragon claws, and arms robust as Celestial Pillars, donned in terrifying Battle Armor formed by Blood Evil and Killing Intent.

Particularly on his shoulders, two dragon-head bone remnants had eye sockets flickering with scarlet Purgatory Dragon Flame, fiercely blazing.

This was not the legendary Great Divine Technique of Heaven and Earth, which only true Immortals can comprehend.

Lu Wenwu, as such today, used a common Divine Technique he learned while serving in the Underworld, simplified from Heaven and Earth’s Dharma Aspect.

Even the simplified version demands highly of a cultivator’s comprehension, physique, and cultivation technique.

A prodigy like Lu Wenwu had barely reached the standard for utilizing it.

Now, with Merit bestowed, operating in fury, indeed, he succeeded in one try!

”But now, I’m very angry!”

The Angry Dragon Dharma Aspect roared, and a punch, like a comet falling, fiercely smashed down.

The fist, sized much greater than before, remarkably sped faster than earlier!

The fist and air friction had already kindled blazing firelight!

With an angry fist smashing down, it landed on the True Demon Mother Insect’s body before it could react.

”Boom!”

Massive black, viscous liquid exploded from the struck area, the terrifying roar sunk the freezing ground that had been solidified for countless years along with it.

This punch, even pierced through the earth!

The True Demon Mother Insect’s body was penetrated by this horrifying punch, dented inward, buried deep into the frozen earth!

Without waiting for it to respond, Lu Wenwu strode forward, disregarding the bites from its mouthparts and cuts from its pincers, he grabbed its two stoutest feet, forcibly yanking them from the ground!

No! He didn’t just yank it out!

He directly swung its tail into the sky, then bent over, twisted his waist, gathered strength, and smashed it down onto the earth!

”Boom!”

The earth shattered!

Within hundreds of miles, the earth entirely fractured.

Countless Split Creatures, still stupefied, perished in the aftermath’s strike!
