Meteor Fall Master in the 'Starry Abyss'

Chapter 229: 051. The Sword that Shatters the Sky

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Countless golden swords fell from the sky, piercing through Duke Gamos’s body like a cage. The swords, dragging chains behind them, penetrated the ground along with their hilts, nearly toppling the Duke’s massive form.

The spiritual power, under those golden swords of law, melted away like snow.

Gamos was slightly astonished.

Even with his formidable body, the wounds inflicted by those golden swords seemed to lose some connection to spiritual power — no, not just spiritual power, but it felt as if some primal sin entwined around him was being directly excised by the power.

"An Inquisitor of the olden times, you can actually communicate with Becaliria’s criminal covenant..."

Truly, astonishing.

Gamos roughly understood now; the woman before him had resolved to die and drag him to hell along with her.

So that’s it. If she really had Becaliria’s covenant, then she could indeed try to destroy him.

The power of an Inquisitor could easily inflict considerable damage on his vast frame, perhaps even pull him out of the spirit realm.

"Maybe if you had a bit more time, you could actually do it."

But for now, it would not suffice!

Gamos’s outstretched hand still gripped Alixia, squeezing fiercely and slamming her to the ground.

This was the moment.

Alixia’s spine hit the ground heavily, and thirty meters, for an old-era physique, was far from fatal. But the Duke’s aggressive squeeze had sent evil spiritual energy surging into her, filling her insides with ice, and her body quickly covered in frost.

Spiritual power erosion.

The shaman’s magic damage was simpler and cruder compared to a spirit medium. They only needed to strike someone with spiritual power to steal their body heat. On this basis, injecting spiritual power into their body would continuously lower their life force.

Humans were ultimately humans; once body temperature fell below 20 degrees, the hypothalamus could no longer regulate temperature, blood pressure would halt, organs would fail, and death would be inevitable. Even transcendents were not exempt, and the stronger their constitution and will, the more excruciating the death by freezing. Their consciousness would starkly perceive their life’s ebbing away, a pain lingering till they turned into a spiritual body, wandering the mortal realm till their soul dissipated.

She couldn’t move for a while, but Alixia didn’t hesitate. As the violent impact ended, she immediately shouted to the sky:

"Aozi!"

Without Alixia’s reminder, Li Aozi had already turned around, launching instantly, his arms’ pods blasting open with a burst of dazzling radiance.

This was his only chance. If he didn’t deliver a decisive blow now, he wouldn’t stand a chance against so many enemies alone.

[Gravity Contact] — Stack

The gravitational field expanded to its maximum.

[Severing Life] — Stack

The released tendrils instantly wrapped around two evil ghosts’ spiritual bodies, dragging them toward Li Aozi and draining them into soul essence in a frenzied devouring.

[Inscription Saint Swordmaster - War Spectre] — Stack

Dark purple resentful energy coiled around the long sword like a banner, the samurai behind him forming and completely enveloping Li Aozi’s body.

[Blood of Eternity] — Stack

Flesh rapidly regenerated, covering with armor, forming stable connectors.

[Mountain Armor] — Stack

The obsidian armor was re-covered with a rock layer, extending into a flat structure under high-speed movement.

[Spontaneous Combustion] — Stack

Roaring flames surged, white explosive sounds faintly echoing within the fiery blaze.

All the arcane energy he possessed converged here. The crystal tachi in his hand was completely consumed by swirling power, vanishing from sight.

’...What a pity.’

Accompanied by the mournful sigh from the Plain Slasher’s Soul, gravity flung Li Aozi’s body skyward in an instant, trailing a series of Mach rings, reaching the dome.

The system panel popped up a prompt, and Li Aozi, in a state of high-speed flight, glanced at it instinctively. Though he couldn’t speak, his pupils constricted immediately.

[Hmm? This skill can actually synthesize like this——]

Ping——

In the blink of an eye, a conspicuous red line cut through the red-black Ersha cloud.

In that brief moment, it seemed like a vast, starry blue sky, shining with the unknown morning stars, flickered into view.

Since birth, those who had never seen anything other than the red-black sky and the artificial sun fell into a daze.

Their eyes became misty as they stared at the distant skyline, the deep unknown space realm evoking a subconscious tearfulness in everyone.

"Is that... the starry sky?"

The Duke, trapped on the ground, his muscles quivering, shattered the chains with lightning. Just as he turned his head, a red beam pierced his forehead.

The Duke’s body froze in place, while the meteor tearing through the sky struck a distant mountain, smashing through the 600-meter-high peak and raising a fireball brighter than the artificial sun on the ground.

The thunderous explosion echoed across the land, the entire city of Sipeya shook violently. Torrential shockwaves swept the land, stirring a snowstorm sand tide tens of meters high within the city.

"This is... six-fold unity."

Li Aozi crashed through the mountain and plunged into the lake. The intense heat evaporated the water, causing a torrential downpour to form in the sky.

Struggling, he slowly climbed out of the crater on the ground, his body nearly reduced to ashes. [Blood of Eternity] activated, rapidly regenerating the remaining cells, reconnecting fractured bones. The immense pain nearly caused him to pass out.

From a distance, after enduring his attack, the Duke stood still in place. Even from several kilometers away, his towering figure was visible, gradually melting and disintegrating in the raging hot currents, dispersing like black butterflies into the sky and earth.

"Qiu Ran, your arcane energy is incredibly destructive..."

Li Aozi lay paralyzed on the ground, trembling all over.

Although he had anticipated that Qiu Ran’s arcane energy, when stacked, would be terrifyingly destructive, he had not imagined that six-fold unity could achieve this level of devastation.

Only then did he slowly lift his head, gazing up at the long-unhealed ’scar’ in the sky. From that Ersha wound, a deep, dark dome and the awe-inspiring Starry Abyss emerged.

[Your title "Catastrophe" effect triggered! This attack was a "Fatal Strike"! (Three times damage increase, weak point attack, high probability of instant death)]

[Death judgment in process...]

[Perpetual·Willful — Effect activated!]

[Perpetual Love Hunting — Effect activated!]

[Judgment successful, instant death effect applied.]

[Ersha Crazy Owl — Effect activated]

[Critical hit multiplier this time is 160%]

[After adjustment, this attack’s damage is: 64,798 points of true damage (instant death)]

[The Tyrant’s End, his crimes and history will be buried in the cerulean mountains, unworthy of mention.]

[Main Quest: "Roar of Freedom" has met preliminary settlement conditions]

The system’s prompts slowly refreshed at the edge of his vision. Apart from the message indicating the immense damage inflicted on the Duke, at the top of a series of data, the skill name for the sky-tearing strike was calmly displayed:

"Sword of Severing Firmament of Morphederia"
