Chapter 356: Chapter 245: Freeze

Could it be that Zhou Yuan’s will had grown so strong that he could become immune to the Six Desires Muddying the World?

Or perhaps he possessed an extraordinary artifact that could counteract it...

The Duke of Pale Death momentarily lost focus and was immediately torn into over a dozen pieces by the crisscrossing claws of light.

The rumbling sound rose again as the Duke of Pale Death’s split body reformed, and in a panic, he summoned an Iron Seal wrapped in Mysterious Yellow Qi. The Iron Seal rapidly expanded in mid-air and, mountain-like, smashed towards Zhou Yuan.

The claws of light slashed down, producing a piercing screech as sparks flew everywhere.

This was the Divine Iron Mountain Seal that the Duke of Pale Death had obtained from Lingxu Dongtian, an indestructible Superior Magical Artifact that swiftly expanded and covered the sky, ruthlessly crashing down.

Boom!

Taiyin Tao Patterns appeared on Zhou Yuan’s fist, mysterious and immensely powerful, as he threw a punch at the gigantic Iron Seal. The heavens and the earth shook, rumbling intensely.

A hurricane spread out, and the Iron Seal emitted a strained cry of overburden before exploding with a loud bang, splintering into pieces large and small that scattered about, creating craters and forming countless metallic mini-mountains.

Under deliberate control, a fierce metallic storm swept towards the Duke of Pale Death, causing dozens of blood mists to burst from his body as if hit by a shotgun, almost tearing him apart.

"What a hassle, just can’t kill him," Zhou Yuan muttered. An ordinary Rank 7 would have died countless times by now, yet the Duke of Pale Death was still energetically alive, seemingly gravely injured but without any real threat to his life.

The Duke of Pale Death ignored the wounds on his body and swiftly chanted something. The light around him suddenly dimmed, and in mid-air, a blood-red cloud slowly condensed, thunder and lightning roaring, oppressively intense.

In the cloud, faces crowded, one grotesque, twisted ghost face after another emerged.

These ghost faces opened their mouths, spewing lightning, flames, ice, hurricanes, blood light, and black fog. Each move contained a terrifying lethal intent, immensely frightening as heaven and earth thundered, as if the apocalypse had arrived.

Zhou Yuan opened up his return to ruins, dissolving and devouring all attacks, turning the excess energy into black suns that burst out, a few soaring into the sky, scattering the blood-red clouds.

The Duke of Pale Death quickly dodged, avoiding the assault of the black suns. The tail of the devil swiftly cut through the space, attempting to escape.

The Six Desires Muddying the World did not affect Zhou Yuan, effectively banning his strongest capabilities, hence continuing to fight was not wise. Completing the final ritual of the Corpse Immortal Association was what mattered.

Not everyone, like Zhou Yuan, controlled several power systems to adapt randomly.

In normal fights, if Aoneng Power proved ineffective, it was almost akin to a death sentence, especially for an extraordinary person who specialized in the Aoneng system; they might not even have a chance to retaliate.

Had the Duke of Pale Death not possessed the transformation skill of the Pale Reaper, he would probably have been instantly killed by Zhou Yuan by now.

Just as the Duke of Pale Death plunged headlong into the void, a horrifying chill suddenly surged in his heart, forcibly stopping his motion, with his lower half not entering the void.

In that instant, the void abruptly closed, like a long-waiting gaping maw biting down, blood bursting forth, swallowing the upper half of the Duke of Pale Death.

The lower half of the Duke of Pale Death retreated explosively, rumbling loudly, rapidly outlining the form of his upper body, regenerating at an incredibly fast rate.

"What a pity."

Zhou Yuan clicked his tongue. That void had been eroded by his Taiyin Divine Power into ruins, nearly resolving the Duke of Pale Death; unexpectedly, this fellow’s perception of danger was so strong.

Once his body was reconstructed, the Duke of Pale Death was greatly alarmed. Even the void could be influenced; what kind of authority did Zhou Yuan really possess?

At that moment, a wave of Divine Power erupted from Zhou Yuan. Squeezing the scant remaining Taiyin Divine Power, he condensed several giant black tentacled shadows, smacking them towards the Duke of Pale Death.

The Duke of Pale Death’s forehead suddenly split open to reveal a third eye, filled with demonic pupils burning with hellfire, full of malice and contempt for everything in the world.

"Beelzebub, I am willing to give up one-third of my life!" the Duke of Pale Death roared inwardly.

"No, no..." a greedy voice delightedly rose, "That was the previous price. The current price is half of your life!"

"Go to hell!" Duke of Pale Death cursed inwardly.

"As you wish, Contractor. I have many, but you only have one life." Beelzebub laughed treacherously, "You will certainly die from this strike."

Duke of Pale Death clenched his teeth, "Change!"

The next second, the calamity essence from hell descended upon Duke of Pale Death, infinite hunger emerged from within his heart, along with an uncontrollable devouring desire, and an unprecedented thirst.

Always manipulating others’ desires, Duke of Pale Death now personally experienced this voracious hunger, nearly driving him mad.

Facing the divine power tentacles whipping towards him, Duke of Pale Death raised his hand to condense a demon sword, with the fire of Six Desires blazing fiercely, all power was exhausted in the endless desires.

In an instant, he chopped all of the divine power tentacles.

"Devil Contract? I thought the kings of hell had long perished," Zhou Yuan said.

Answering Zhou Yuan was a profound, overlapping laughter from the depths of hell, "As long as desires exist in people’s hearts, the Demon Kings will never be destroyed!"

"Meet your end!" Duke of Pale Death, boosted by the power of hell, advanced several ranks in strength and actively swung the Six Desires Demon Sword to attack.

"Freeze!"

Accompanied by Zhou Yuan’s voice, Duke of Pale Death’s body was suddenly fixed by a beam of golden light, motionless like a statue, with a glittering "Freeze" character floating above his head.

This was a new skill Zhou Yuan had acquired while unboxing earlier.

[Skill Name: Freeze Spell]

[Quality: Epic]

[Effect: Freezes the opponent in place, rendering them immobile. The greater the difference in rank with the target, the shorter the effect of the Freeze Spell.]

[Spiritual Cost: 2500 points]

[Note: A monkey remains a monkey after all. After freezing the Seven Fairies, Sun Wukong actually went to pick peaches!]

For a rank 7 extraordinary person like Duke of Pale Death, the duration of the Freeze Spell was only a few seconds, but that was enough.
