CHAPTER 739: CHAPTER 605: LITTLE WU VS EMPEROR BAI!

Ten suns hung high in the sky.

The azure sky gradually turned reddish-brown.

The earth gradually dried up.

The temperature was searing.

On the long street.

"Do you think you’re human just because you used human boxing?"

Emperor Bai shouted loudly.

"No, now let me show you the new power I’ve created by combining the Mysterious with boxing—"

"It doesn’t belong to you humans!"

Fist.

Swung.

But then, pale white phantoms burst forth from Emperor Bai’s fist, clustered together, swooping down the long street, and headed straight for Wu Xiaode.

Wu Xiaode’s expression changed, and he had to dart aside to evade.

However, there were too many of those white clusters.

They whistled towards him like numerous meteors, thick and fast.

Wu Xiaode turned sharply, tracing a "U" shape on the long street, trying to shake off these white shadows.

But the white shadows followed him around the bend and charged at him once again.

Wu Xiaode felt his heart sink.

-—These things can track?

Whoosh—

A white shadow struck him.

Wu Xiaode felt as if he had been punched, and his body flew sideways, crashing into a wall.

More white shadows came from all directions, all pummeling that wall.

Indiscriminate saturation attack!

The entire wall was directly demolished, bricks and stones scattered everywhere.

-—Any attack’s damage to the world and buildings had been suppressed, yet Emperor Bai’s move could still break through the wall.

If the Fire Tribulation had occurred in this town, it might have directly destroyed the bar, causing Wu Xiaode and the others to perish right then and there.

"See? This is the Mysterious Level boxing. You humans will never even grasp the slightest bit of it."

Emperor Bai said with a triumphant laugh.

A Light and Dark Black Dragon flew out from the rubble, landed in the middle of the street opposite Emperor Bai, and transformed into Wu Xiaode.

"I indeed haven’t seen such boxing before, quite intriguing."

Wu Xiaode applauded.

Intriguing?

Emperor Bai’s smile gradually faded away.

He glanced at Wu Xiaode’s health bar, only to see that indeed two blocks were gone.

-—Only two blocks.

According to the original estimate, those several hundred fist shadows could have killed him twice over and more.

At this moment.

Both of them looked up.

In the sky, flames appeared, floating unstably.

These flames wandered at will, turning into giant figures in the wind, slowly walking in the Void.

They seemed to possess thought and life, starting to pay attention to the movements on the ground.

A voice emerged in the minds of all beings:

"The Fire Giants are one of the embodiments of the Initial Tribulation."

"Any being caught in their gaze will be purified by the flames, without exception."

-—The Fire Tribulation is becoming increasingly dangerous!

Simultaneously, Wu Xiaode and Emperor Bai looked at each other.

Either take the opportunity to kill the opponent now!

Or hurry and find a place to take refuge!

Which to choose?

Emperor Bai didn’t move.

Wu Xiaode didn’t move either.

Emperor Bai exuded intense murderous intent, his eyes becoming increasingly dangerous as he spoke softly:

"I admit you’re more troublesome than the average human... but that’s about it."

He raised his left fist.

A white light gathered on his body, converging to his fist, and shot up into the sky, forming a giant fist shadow large enough to envelop the entire town.

"Human, the power of the Mysterious is beyond your imagination, die!"

Emperor Bai roared, and the enormous white fist shadow quickly swooped down.

A deeply muffled sound erupted.

The fist shadow struck the entire town, and dust spread out from the town like a shockwave, countless buildings beginning to collapse.

-—The huge white fist shadow didn’t disappear!

It sustained against the entire town with one fist shadow, but another fist shadow split off and shot up to the sky, repeatedly pounding down like driving stakes.

The ground shook incessantly, even growing more fierce.

This was the Mysterious Fist Skill created by Emperor Bai, combining human supreme arts and adding Mysterious Techniques:

Fist·Cloud Shadow!

A deep pit appeared in the middle of the street.

With the continual attacks of Cloud Shadow, the pit expanded, snaking out cracks in every direction.

Such boxing, however, was not directly suppressed by the world like Jiang Zhilan’s.

One could only say—

This punch was exquisitely peerless, keeping its power just at the edge of being suppressed!

Amidst the howling wind and dust.

Emperor Bai’s eyes narrowed slightly, his lips curled up, and he said maliciously:

"Dead."

Before he could finish speaking, a sudden change occurred!

An extremely strong force emerged out of nowhere, grabbed Emperor Bai, and dragged him into a nearby deep pit.

The moment Emperor Bai reacted, he only saw a buttocks.

Yes, buttocks.

Then he found his hand being grabbed, and the buttocks turned halfway and fell backward.

Emperor Bai fell backward along with those buttocks.

Thump.

He crashed at the bottom of the deep pit, his neck being tightly strangled by a pair of legs, one hand pulled out and forcefully held in place.

-—Mount crossbar!

This was using the strongest parts like both hands, the upper body, crotch, and legs to combat the body’s most vulnerable parts.

And now Emperor Bai’s arms had lost the most powerful angle to exert force.

Arms couldn’t twist over thighs, let alone necks!

Emperor Bai immediately became immobilized.

In the sky.

Another "Cloud Shadow" violently pounded down.

"Ah ah ah ah ah––"

Emperor Bai and Little Wu both erupted in a scream.

Both were hit by the punch at the same time, their health bars dropping together.

The difference was—

Little Wu’s health bar bounced back up quite a bit.

"Hahaha," Emperor Bai suddenly burst out laughing, "Is this your ultimate move?"

His body burst out with clusters of white light, rapidly coalescing into fist shadows.

Meanwhile—

"Click."

Wu Xiaode’s head split open, and he wriggled out of the crack, instantly dodging all the fist shadows.

-—He shed his original shell like a snake!

His shell remained in place, still in the position of the crossbar, but still retaining all his power, firmly controlling Emperor Bai’s body.

Wu Xiaode broke free and drew the Butterfly Soul Blade, slashing through the air!

Emperor Bai was completely immobilized and got continuously struck by the blade, with his health rapidly depleting.

"Ah——"

He suddenly erupted in a roar, his body shook, releasing bursts of bright white light.

This was pure and extremely powerful Mysterious Power!

Wu Xiaode’s body was instantly blasted away.

Emperor Bai tried to get up to utter some harsh words but found himself gripped by an even stronger force.

Immediately after.

His legs were twisted backwards over his back, and his body involuntarily faced downward, crashing into a humiliating heap.

—Jujutsu·Scorpion hold.

Wu Xiaode sat on his back, using this cruel wrestling move from classical styles to pin him to the ground immobilized.

His back split open.

Wu Xiaode emerged from his back, pulled out the Desert Sword, and stabbed it forcefully into Emperor Bai’s back!

Blood splattered!

Emperor Bai’s health dropped another notch!

"Impossible, how could you have such a high-level technique!"

Emperor Bai growled.

Even though his body was fixed in place and he couldn’t move, he was still not panicked, just somewhat angry.

—A mere human, to reduce him to such a disgrace.

He forcefully punched the ground.

Thud.

The recoil from the fist power caused both him and Wu Xiaode’s bodies to float in midair.

Seizing the moment, he quickly flipped towards his legs, regained his freedom, and kicked Wu Xiaode’s body away.

Both men repositioned themselves at the bottom of the pit for a standoff.

They looked at each other’s health bars and saw that both had only a third left.

There wasn’t much Soul Power left either.

Emperor Bai wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and calmly said:

"You have enough Soul Power for one more skill release."

"Same for you," Wu Xiaode said.

"I’ve already seen through your tricks, this time you’re definitely going to lose," Emperor Bai said.

"Oh?" Wu Xiaode said.

Emperor Bai explained, "Your ace in the hole is a counterattack skill that allows you to control the opponent forcefully as soon as you get hit, and you can break free at any time after the attack, right?"

Wu Xiaode looked towards the Void.

Rows of ice crystal characters appeared there, immobile:

"Olden Python."

"Unique style skill, the only Python Skill."

"Skill description: When you’re hit, you can forcefully seize the enemy, and during combat, complete a ’Molting’ anytime."

"Molting: Your original body retains all your power and fights against the enemy, while you molt and are freed from any control or damage inflicted on the original body."

"—’None of this concerns me, I’m a good person’."

Wu Xiaode limbered up, energetically assuming a boxing stance.

This Emperor Bai truly had a sharp eye.

But...

What does it matter if he has a sharp eye?

My skill can still evolve.

Wu Xiaode concentrated and readied himself to attack.

On the other side.

Emperor Bai said:

"You should be proud to have forced me to this state, after all, even many mysterious life forms are not privileged to see this power of mine."

The giant white fist shadow that had illuminated the area rapidly disintegrated, transforming into countless white shadows that fell into the pit.

Hundreds of white shadow orbs rapidly circled around Emperor Bai.

"Your skill needs to be hit to take effect—"

Emperor Bai proudly stated, "Here comes my final move, and it will keep hitting you until you die."

An overwhelming aura emitted from his body.

Wu Xiaode’s eyes twinkled as he silently said:

"Golden Dog, I authorize you to continue sacrificing skills."

"No problem, but it seems too late to acquire a new skill now," Golden Dog said.

Suddenly Emperor Bai was enveloped in a dazzling white light.

That majestic white light repelled everything around, making it impossible for any force to breach it and harm Emperor Bai.

The vast white light gradually formed into the figure of a monster.

Seizing the moment—

Wu Xiaode glanced up at the sky.

One by one, fire giants moved slowly in the sky, seemingly searching for something.

Since it’s too late for skill advancement—

"Extreme Good, Judgement."

He whispered.

Two angels emerged from the Book of the Dead, standing by in the Void behind him.

"Using us will consume your last Soul Power," the angel of Extreme Good warned.

Wu Xiaode’s spirit light flashed.

Yes.

Both Emperor Bai and himself were down to their last strike’s Soul Power.

Why not use the highest-level skill available?

He realized this and quickly spoke:

"Emperor Bai, you have slaughtered villages, committing heinous crimes, and for these sins, I bestow upon you Divine Enthronement."

"I now enthrone you as—"

"The Demon Purified by Fire!"

In an instant.

Rows of ice crystal characters appeared:

"You have initiated ’Divine Enthronement’."

"This is a ’Holy’ level skill, unique in the world, a skill never seen before."

"Description: Consumes the target’s or your Merit/Sin to enthrone them with a ’position’, leading them on a bright path to that ’position’."

"—Emperor Bai is enthroned as: ’The Demon Purified by Fire’!"

"The title has taken effect!"

Wu Xiaode’s Soul Power drained to zero, and he turned and ran.

Emperor Bai hesitated for a moment, then immediately set off in pursuit.

"Hahaha, you coward, afraid to fight to the end, you humans are all such cowards!"

He mockingly bellowed.

The next second.

Just as Emperor Bai was about to catch up and deliver a final blow to the terrified human—

He suddenly felt something watching him.

Emperor Bai slowly raised his head.

He saw the fire giants in the sky all squatting in mid-air, all lowering their heads together, looking down at him as if observing an ant.

A silence, hard to describe.

Stillness.

"No..."

Emperor Bai murmured.

—This was the gaze of the Fire Giant.

As said by the Initial Tribulation—

"Fire Giants are one of the manifestations of the Initial Tribulation."

"Being observed by them means being purified by fire, without exceptions."
