232: Chapter 232 The Remnant Soul's Frenzied Pursuit

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The three blood blades did not vanish silently as Su Changge had anticipated; instead, they slammed violently against the ten-thousand-year black ice cliff behind him with an extremely savage force.

The deafening roar caused the entire main tomb chamber to shake violently.

Dust and debris rained down from the tomb ceiling, and several sharp-edged stones struck Su Changge's back with heavy force.

A sharp pain surged through him, so powerful that it nearly caused him to stumble and fall to his knees. He gritted his teeth hard, forcing himself to swallow the muffled groan back into his stomach.

Even so, he remained standing in place, his posture not showing a hint of disarray.

He slowly raised his hand, brushing the dust from his robes with a casual, understated motion.

His posture and expression were as calm as if he were merely flicking away an autumn leaf, rather than having just walked the line between life and death.

Only he knew that his undergarment, thoroughly soaked in cold sweat, was clinging coldly to his skin. Every inch of his muscles was twitching slightly from extreme fear and tension.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning, searching for that one glimmer of hope.

With the attack failing, the blood-red Empress Phantom formed by the Remnant Soul of the Empress saw the blood mist around her body surge violently, its density instantly swallowing the entire magnificent main tomb chamber.

Everywhere he looked was a thick, viscous crimson.

A fishy, sweet, and decaying scent filled every corner of the air, causing a burning pain whenever he inhaled it into his lungs.

Sss! Sss! Sss!

Countless tentacles, entirely blood-red and covered in hideous barbs, tore out from the churning blood mist.

These tentacles seemed to possess a life of their own, twisting and dancing wildly in the air, their tips glinting with a ghostly green cold light as drops of viscous liquid fell.

As the liquid landed on the hard black ice rock floor, it immediately emitted a sizzling corrosive sound, rising in plumes of white smoke and leaving behind deep, terrifying pits.

Su Changge's gaze swept across his surroundings in an instant, his brain racing at an unprecedented speed.

His Divine Sense was suppressed, his speed was far inferior to his opponent's, and fighting head-on would be like throwing an egg against a rock.

In this desperate situation, a map he had once memorized suddenly became clear in his mind.

Blood Abyss Realm, Void Zone, Wall Zone, Burial Zone...

This place was the Void Zone, where gravity weakened and recovered unpredictably. And connecting to the Void Zone was none other than the Wall Region!

The Wall Region was rumored to be the burial ground of ancient gods and demons, and its core Law was "Gravity"!

One hundred times gravity!

The deeper one ventured, the more terrifying the gravity, capable of crushing mountains, became.

A crazy plan quickly formed in his mind.

As long as... as long as he could lure this god of slaughter to the Wall Region!

By utilizing that terrifying hundred-fold gravity to forcibly weaken its speed, he could win himself a glimmer of hope!

This plan was feasible!

A flash of brilliance flickered in Su Changge's eyes, and he immediately used his expressionless face to perfectly conceal the turmoil within his heart.

He slowly raised his hand, his slender fingers pointing toward the only path to survival—the exit of the tomb.

He deliberately kept his voice steady, his tone revealing the indifference and disdain unique to a superior.

"Lonely ghost, are you not ashamed to show off such tricks before this King?"

"Your methods are nothing more than this."

"This King has lost interest; if you have the guts, then come and pursue."

The moment his words fell, a trace of a System signal, so faint it was almost imperceptible, flashed across him.

The talent of Words Become Law was passively triggered!

Boom—!

Su Changge's calm voice was amplified a hundredfold, a thousandfold at this moment!

Every word contained the magnificent Divine Might of the Nine Heavens' divine thunder, shaking the entire tomb until it began to hum.

On the indestructible tomb walls, those ancient runes that had been silent for eons were triggered by this voice, lighting up one by one, blooming with brilliant golden light to contend with the towering blood mist!

The Empress Phantom had already been enraged by Su Changge's contemptuous attitude, and now, hearing this provocation filled with supreme majesty, her remaining reason was completely incinerated.

"Roar—!"

A roar, not human, filled with endless resentment and madness, erupted from the core of the blood mist.

It moved.

Its massive body transformed into a bolt of blood-red lightning, carrying those dancing blood-red tentacles as it charged madly toward Su Changge.

The earth trembled under its footsteps!

This was the moment Su Changge had been waiting for!

The moment he turned around, the calm and indifferent expression on his face instantly collapsed, replaced by extreme solemnity and determination.

He seized the brief gap when the Void Zone's gravity weakened, his legs unleashing explosive force, and he shot off like an arrow from a bow, rushing toward the tomb passage without hesitation.

His speed was pushed to a Peak he had never reached in his life.

One pursuing, one fleeing, the two figures instantly rushed out of the main tomb chamber, speeding outward along the deep tomb passage.

...

On the outskirts of the Northern Region, the Four Princes, who had already retreated here, were anxiously watching the depths of the tomb.

Just then, they saw a blurred figure flash out like lightning, followed closely by the terrifying blood mist that covered the sky and seemed ready to swallow everything.

It was the Remnant Soul of the Empress! It was breaking out!

A massive fear instantly gripped the hearts of the four.

They turned around almost instinctively, their internal Qi surging, ready to use escape techniques to flee this land of death.

However, an old but powerful hand, like an iron pincer, pressed down on Prince Jimie's shoulder.

It was the Old Priest.

He held that ancient sacrificial jade token, his already wrinkled face now so cold one could scrape frost off it.

"Stay!"

His voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable majesty.

"Our King is performing a supreme divine technique to lure that malevolent soul into a dead zone to be suppressed and killed. What are you all trying to do by deserting in the face of battle?"

The Four Princes stiffened, their faces turning deathly pale.

The Old Priest's gaze was like a knife, sweeping over them one by one.

"Wait here for our King's triumphant return! Anyone who dares to retreat even half a step will be treated as a traitor to the Blood Clan!"

"Traitors will have their entire clan implicated, with nine generations of ancestors executed and nine generations of descendants exterminated!"

The Old Priest spoke the last eight words almost one by one, each word carrying a thick aura of blood and slaughter.

The Four Princes were struck as if by lightning, their bodies turning cold.

The fate of a Blood Clan traitor was a torture countless times more miserable than Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

Prince Jimie gritted his teeth hard and was the first to turn around, looking in the direction where the blood shadow was chasing, his eyes reigniting with fanatical belief.

"The Priest is right! We were foolish! The King is setting a trap; we must believe in the King!"

"The King will definitely be able to suppress this Remnant Soul of the Empress completely!" Shadow Kill Prince also nodded heavily, gripping the dagger at his waist, his eyes becoming firm.

Succubus Prince shrank her neck in fear, no longer daring to have thoughts of escaping, and stood obediently back behind the Old Priest.

Seeing this, the Old Priest's cold, hard expression softened slightly.

He turned around and, facing the direction of the Wall Region where Su Changge had disappeared, knelt on both knees and prostrated himself.

He used all his strength, straining his hoarse throat, and shouted loudly:

"Our King's Divine Might! Suppressing the malevolent soul! Invincible under the heavens!"

The remaining Four Princes, seeing this, hurriedly knelt down as well, shouting with the same fanatical voices like a mountain-shaking tsunami.

Their voices gathered into a torrent, echoing across this dead Northern Region.

But Su Changge, who was at the center of the storm, knew nothing of this.

He only knew that he was reaching his limit.

The Empress Phantom behind him was unimaginably fast; it seemed completely unaffected by the gravity changes in the Void Zone, and the distance between it and him was shortening at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The fishy wind stirred up by those hideous blood-red tentacles was no longer just blowing his robes, but striking his back like countless heavy hammers.

Every impact of the wind pressure made his Qi and blood surge.

His heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was about to burst, his lungs were burning, but he dared not slack off in the slightest, and his speed increased by another thirty percent.

Ahead, at the end of his vision, a distorted curtain of light appeared.

Spatial Barrier!

The boundary zone between the Void Zone and the Wall Zone!

As long as he passed through, he would be saved!

Su Changge's eyes were bloodshot as he squeezed out the last bit of strength in his body, launching a final sprint toward that curtain of light.

The roar behind him was already close at hand, shaking his eardrums until they ached.

Ten zhang!

Five zhang!

Three zhang!

His hand could already touch the spatial ripples dissipating from the edge of the Spatial Barrier.

One more step, and he would be able to dive into the Wall Region!

However, at that very moment, an extreme cold and sharp pain came from his heart.

A blood-red tentacle had finally caught up to him.

The barbs, glinting with a ghostly green cold light, had pierced his outer robe and touched his inner garment.

Su Changge's eyes widened instantly.

It was over.
