404. Shocking Single Hit

　　“HAHA! You can never escape from me!”

　　Huang Long’s anger turned to laughter as his body changed into a beam of yellow light and dashed at Shi Mu with amazing speed.

　　The distance between them was no less than a hundred feet. At Huang Long’s current speed, it would not take more than two or three breaths to close that distance.

　　Shi Mu was presently still in midair after dodging Huang Long’s previous attacks. He was still seven or eight feet from the dark crack that was now the size of a bucket. As the gap shrunk, even if he swooped down at great speed, it would be too late. He would most likely crashed head-on if, the crack might have ended up tearing up more.

　　Just when Huang Long was sure that Shi Mu had no other place to run, the wings on Shi Mu’s back turned into red light and swooped down, appearing before the dark gap in the blink of an eye.

　　At this point, the crack was already the size of a bowl. It was impossible for one to break in.

　　Huang Long’s eyes were full of joy but the smile on his face suddenly became still when he saw Shi Mu unearth his scorched-black hand and punched through the crack to escape.

　　A cracking sound like the shattering of a mirror filled the air.

　　The gap at the edge of the space which was originally only the size of a bowl had cracked and widened. It continued to grow until it completely shattered, creating a crack several feet in diameter.

　　Shi Mu had exhausted almost every bit of energy after the blows he landed.

　　He gritted his teeth in a final attempt to use his last ounce of strength and break the gap.

　　As the gap widened, Huang Long quickly shifted back to his human form hoping to reduce its size.

　　“Crushing the void? How is it possible?!” Huang Long roared.

　　He immediately made some hand signs and a burst of yellow sand spewed out of his mouth, filling up the gap.

　　The yellow sand was extremely fast and before the space cracked, it flashed in and out.

　　…

　　When Shi Mu absorbed the blood left by the White Ape Demon King, he felt like he was somewhere far off in the galaxy…

　　There were not only high mountain ranges where one-third of the peak was a snowy mountain.

　　Somewhere in the mountains, several canyons cut down like a knife or an ax, forming a deep valley.

　　This was a quiet and unusual place. Not only were the birds and animals all rare species, but the vegetation was sparse too. From time to time, a white mist would burst from the unfathomably huge valley.

　　In the deep abyss of the valley, clouds lingered and a glimpse of the looming golden light flashed.

　　The white mist was exhausted and the light solidified. A figure of a behemoth gradually became clearer as time passed.

　　It was a giant python covered in golden scales, so huge that it occupied nearly all the bottom of the valley.

　　This giant python seemed to be more than two hundred feet long. Splitting from its neck were nine heads.

　　The nine heads had their eyes closed and breathed steadily, apparently asleep. From the nostrils blew pale blue smoke.

　　Suddenly, the eyelid of the largest head moved, as if it had sensed something unusual. Then the middle head stood staring and shot two golden rays with its eyes.

　　“Hey!”

　　A clear and loud roar could be heard in the valley as it resurfaced to the snow-capped mountains after a long time.

　　Once the middle head woke up, the other eight woke simultaneously.

　　The golden python’s huge body began to twist as its tail swayed from side to side. The emptiness of the sky suddenly swelled and the space fluctuated, like a mountain shouting to the surrounding cliffs.

　　“Boom!” A loud noise could be heard.

　　In the valley, there was a violent tremor and the surrounding rock wall slammed into a stormy boulder from roaring sound. The cliffs on both sides of the valley road had numerous cracks and huge pits as birds could be seen flying out in one direction.

　　At the same time, the nine-headed golden python leaped out from the bottom of the valley and circled in the air.

　　In an instant, its scales under the sunlight released thousands of golden lights that shot toward the surrounding land, dyeing the entire snow-capped mountains a golden yellow.

　　At the moment, it seemed that there was nothing but golden light in heaven and earth.

　　The shape of the nine-headed golden python became clearer.

　　The middle of the head was the largest, with four identical heads on each side, as if carved in a mold.

　　Closer examination would reveal that the leftmost of the skull looked slightly strange. The scales covering its surface were slightly but noticeably smaller than the scales on the other heads.

　　The nine-headed golden python seemed to be extremely angry as its huge tail slammed down forcefully, instantly cutting everything included the mountains in half.

　　The python circled over the mountains for a while but suddenly stopped.

　　Then one of the heads trembled fiercely as its whole body shone with golden light. The head shrugged down and its eyes went faint as if it was losing a soul.

　　…

　　It was on a certain planet not far from Shi Mu.

　　It seemed that more than 90% of the planet was a vast ocean, with land only making up a small part of it.

　　The seawater churned and rolled in waves a hundred feet high. One after another, there was no end to it.

　　From the dark clouds of the sky came through deafening clap of thunder and lightning.

　　The vast sea surface became more turbulent and the raging waves rolled more fiercely, forming numerous whirlpools.

　　The whirlpools quickly intertwined and finally formed a single giant vortex.

　　In the middle of the whirlpool, a wave of surf rose and a huge black eucalyptus flew out from the depths of the sea, splashing seawater against the horizon.

　　The black coffin rapidly spun in the air. As the huge waves gradually subsided, the black eucalyptus was steadily suspended in the air. The lid constantly shook as if it were boiling. The joints were filled with golden awns.

　　“Boom!” The coffin suddenly burst open and countless pieces covered half the sky.

　　As the golden light burst out of the debris, within it was a blond man with a hawk nose and wearing a golden robe.

　　When the man in the golden robe thought about it, he did not hesitate to go in that direction. In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared to the end of the sky.

　　…

　　The sky of the Necrotic World was always gloomy. Dark clouds raged in the air, occasionally revealing a gray sky.

　　Eight bloody moons hung in the air and sprinkled their moonlight.

　　Under the sky, the land was still dry on a rolling hill. The ground was scattered with white bones.

　　A gray altar was set up in the middle of the hills.

　　Above the altar burned a large green flame. On the open space around the altar were nearly a thousand dead creatures surrounding it.

　　There was a wave of water on the space above the altar and suddenly, ripples spread out.

　　The green flame on the altar trembled fiercely and seemed to have been blown out. The soul of the surrounding dead creatures flashed in the eyes, seemingly surprised to see the altar.

　　Space fluctuations had become more fierce until the void tore open, revealing a black space passage.

　　“Hey!” Two sounds came out of the channel.

　　The two figures were shrouded in a black ray and some flew out and landed on the altar. It was not other than Shi Mu and Liu Yan!

　　Shi Mu’s eyes scanned the surroundings. The sky was dark and the moon looked bloody. Although it was separated by black light, it clearly reflected the rich sense of the dead.

　　“This is the Dead Spirit World…” He said in disbelief.

　　Liu Yan looked at Shi Mu with a heavy expression across his face as if he had something to say.

　　At this moment, the spatial fluctuations in midair once again swelled violently. A rushing sky and yellow man flew out of it, exuding earth-shattering aura fluctuations. The surrounding black clouds were pushed far away, revealing a vacuum zone of several tens of miles in size.

　　With a flash of yellow light that turned into a giant blade of the size of a hundred feet, flying towards Shi Mu.

　　The sky was covered by the power of this sword and it had not fallen yet. The ground below was unable to withstand such tremor.

　　The altar collapsed and the green flame above was instantly blown out.

　　The dead creatures around the altar that were weak and small in size were crushed into bones by the horror of the giant blade. The ones that were slightly stronger could barely escape the collapse.

　　Shi Mu and Liu An were lucky to survive that but it was hard to say about the coming attack by the giant blade. The void around the was shrouded in the momentum of the giant blade and it was too late to escape it now. They could only find a way.

　　Shi Mu shouted as the red light of the body was released and condensed into a red scorpion. The fire in the hands of the law flashed and a red sword appeared, turning towards the yellow giant blade.

　　However, compared with the yellow giant blade, both the size and power were of a big difference.

　　At the same time, Shi Mu waved his hand and twenty or thirty high-level charms appeared in front of him, exuding amazing aura fluctuations.

　　When the light flashed, these high-level charms started spurring and turned into dozens of rays of light, which converged into a grand torrent of torrents, rushing toward the yellow giant blade. The momentum was no weaker than the Crimson Ape Energy Construct.

　　Liu Yan screamed as his body flashed and the Heavenly Demon emerged again.

　　He waved his hands again and the Heavenly Demon rose to the size of the house.

　　There was a slight sorrow in the eyes of Liu An and it turned into a decisive moment.

　　He began to mutter some words while spurting blood out of his mouth. As he muttered, the Heavenly Demon began to burn up, turning into a bloody flame.

　　The golden skull appeared in the bloody flame but the color of it turned into a blood-red color. The crack on the body had been restored at this moment as both of its eyes shot two blood-colored beams. It was filled with hate and anger.

　　The golden skull began to roar and screamed as a large blood-colored column of light spurted out of its mouth. There were countless runes in the blood flame. When it passed, the void undulated and flew toward the yellow blade.

　　Rumble!

　　The attack launched by Shi Mu and the giant blade collided and burst into a series of earth-shattering explosions!

　　The explosion violently swept away anything within a hundred miles. All the dead creatures within range were shredded and the dead creatures in the distance also feared. The other heavenly demons began to flee as if the end of catastrophe was near.

　　At the center of the explosion, the smoke was like a wave of the sky, spreading toward the surrounding area.
