Cheng Kun's mutilated body retreated rapidly, and the blood mist in mid-air suddenly turned pitch black, rushing towards Su Han. His voice was low and hoarse, "You are strong... but you were too careless."
The strange substance touched Su Han's body, but was instantly devoured.
"What?" Cheng Kun froze. Black substance spread through his flesh, gradually restoring his body. He stared at Su Han with a grim expression, his face serious for the first time, even showing some fear. "What exactly are you?"
Unlike the opponents Su Han and others had encountered before, Cheng Kun was a being who had one foot in the realm of acquired evil gods.
Although his soul in another world has not yet broken free from that world, treating it as an egg and thus truly being born in the void... he has already possessed a small portion of the essence of that kind of creature, and can even be called an acquired evil god.
Even though his physical condition hindered him, his perspective remained different from that of ordinary beings: "Is the ultimate light... a god?"
"Impossible. The gods in those worlds would directly fall into corruption when they were corrupted by my flesh and blood... What exactly are you?"
According to the inherited information he received, some extraordinary beings could forcibly resist the erosion of evil gods with their own consciousness... but this was only resisting with their own strength and will, and certainly not the immunity or even devouring that Su Han possessed.
"Guess," Su Han said calmly.
“That’s interesting,” Cheng Kun said after a brief silence, his eyes narrowing. “Your tone earlier… suggested that you were someone who could contend with a true evil god? But a true evil god only devours worlds from outside the world… such an existence must suppress its power before entering the world.”
"I can unleash the power at the limit of this world, but... what about you?"
"Killing you is enough." A blazing light erupted from Su Han's body, a light powerful enough to annihilate everything.
The colossal form of Tiga appeared instantly, and the light that shattered everything coalesced into an ultimate attack, falling from the sky.
“This power… damn it.” Cheng Kun roared, his body began to twist and contort, and fleshy buds on his face twisted and eventually extended into tentacles.
He struggled desperately against the light falling from the sky, but he couldn't stop it at all, and his body exploded again. The refracted light fell to the earth, destroying and obliterating distant mountains.
"What...what's going on?"
Zhang Cuishan's lips trembled as he stared blankly at the scene. The aftershocks had already destroyed mountains and cracked the earth. If that laser beam had fallen directly to the ground...
Zhang Cuishan could no longer imagine what a terrifying scene that must have been.
“A true immortal,” Song Yuanqiao forced himself to calm down, “So that’s how it is. My master is about to become an immortal… so he summoned his good friend from when he was the True Martial Emperor to protect him.”
Looking at the colossal, mountain-like Ultraman Tiga, Song Yuanqiao swallowed hard and managed to explain, "This... should be what they call the 'Law of Heaven and Earth,' right?"
Yu Lianzhou forced himself to calm down. He surveyed the scene, and after a long while, nodded, "As expected of the eldest brother... you truly understand Master the most."
Everything is explained now.
Then that strange being on the other side must be their master's enemy from the time of the True Martial Emperor. It's there to hinder their master's attainment of enlightenment.
Apart from a few members of the Seven Heroes of Wudang discussing the matter, all the other Wudang disciples, and even disciples from other sects, stood there dumbfounded.
Even in the new martial arts era, when had they ever seen such an earth-shattering scene?
"...It's over?" Saeko Busujima stared blankly at the scene before her. The confrontation between the two sides was of an extremely high level, leaving them no room to intervene.
Although she didn't understand what level of abilities both sides were using, she could deduce something just by watching their interaction.
The acquired evil god... feeds on the world. Cheng Kun was able to appear in this world only because he had never truly broken free from it.
"Is it over?" Su Han's voice was calm. Although he was quite far away from them, his voice still rang clearly in their ears. "No, the real battle is about to begin."
The void began to distort, and a sharp shriek rang out.
Su Han raised his palm, and Tiga Teng soared into the sky, radiating dazzling light. This radiance shone on everyone present, making them feel warm and comfortable.
Just as Su Han used the Dark Fruit to unleash his ability to create a misty space... this time, Su Han is using Tiga's light. This is to prevent them from being corrupted by the power of the evil god.
The next instant, many disciples of various sects saw the strange entity that stretched out its form in mid-air. They all felt a sharp pain in their brains, then let out a muffled groan and knelt down on the ground.
"What is this?" Song Que frowned, staring into the distance and scanning the Wudang Sect members kneeling on the ground around him, feeling very puzzled.
“It’s the corruption of an evil god.” Saeko Busujima’s voice was grave. “Fortunately… the liquor store also has similar methods to curb the corruption…”
"Otherwise, our first enemy would be these Wudang disciples."
Song Que paused, then scanned the disciples around him again, his expression turning solemn. He had come to a profound understanding of the terrifying nature of the evil god.
"Yes, that would really be troublesome," Huang Rong said with a wry smile.
It's not that she can't handle the enemy; their strength, combined with the Sword Immortal, is definitely enough... But if they really killed all the Wudang disciples, how would they explain it to Zhang Sanfeng?
A chilling roar echoed from afar, "You utterly destroyed my body, shattering my hope of becoming whole again. You deserve to die! You deserve to die!"
Cheng Kun went mad. His main purpose in coming to this world was to have his body devour Zhang Sanfeng, break free from the world of Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, and thus evolve his soul and body into a complete evil god.
And now, his body has crumbled... and his goal has crumbled with it.
"I will no longer consume this world; I want it to be utterly destroyed! Everyone must die."
Having broken free of his physical body, Cheng Kun revealed his true, unapproachable nature; he was now infinitely stronger than before. In Su Han's perception, he was now truly comparable to a half-saint.
Cheng Kun's tentacles suddenly slammed into the void, shattering it and releasing countless evil creatures.
"Now, it's time for us to make our move." The Drunken Sword Immortal surveyed the endless stream of evil creatures, his expression grave. He took a swig of wine, then suddenly threw his sword into the air, shouting, "Ten Thousand Swords Technique!"
In an instant, the sword multiplied into countless swords, and with a gentle flick of his finger, countless blades fell from the sky.
The massive horde of evil creatures charging towards Wudang Mountain was pinned to the ground by a shower of swords falling from the sky.
"Recite the incantation, only by reciting the incantation can we kill them completely." Huang Rong hurriedly told the Drunken Sword Immortal the incantation to sacrifice Su Han, and then rushed to the battlefield.
"This incantation... it's truly terrifying to think about." The Drunken Sword Immortal's expression was somewhat strange, but he didn't say anything more and flew into the sky on his sword.
