335: Final Judgment

Although Chu Tian had seemed to be slacking off before, at this moment, he displayed a completely different demeanor.

At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the time of the first auction.

Full of vigor, yet absolutely unwilling to retreat a single step.

Facing the Earth Vein Giant, whose size difference was immeasurable, he silently thought:

"I can't let you run wild here; this is Uncle Hai's life's work."

However, the first character didn't last long, beginning to dissipate after a mere seven or eight seconds.

Just as the Earth Vein Giant's right arm was about to regain movement, Chu Tian once again unsealed another seal.

A more surging golden light burst forth than before, reinforcing the previous golden seal and re-locking the Earth Vein Giant's right arm.

And this time, the new seal only began to gradually dissipate after more than ten seconds.

However, that was still one-third short of thirty seconds!

Chu Tian gritted his teeth, knowing that Gu Qinghan was at a very crucial stage right now.

After Gu Qinghan activated the custom skill function, the Shangjing Military had also tried to create various skills.

But ordinary custom skills were pitifully weak, some even inferior to regular skills.

Finally, they summarized a rule: the greater the pressure faced, the stronger the skill that emerged.

There seemed to be no necessary connection between them, but in dangerous battles, the speed and progress of custom skill comprehension were faster than in normal times.

"I'll help you hold on for ten more seconds, no, this time it should last over twenty seconds..."

Chu Tian made up his mind in a brief half-second, reaching out to tear off the third chain.

After tearing off this chain, his body would suffer greater damage, but the power he gained would also be stronger!

"Get out of the way!"

Just then, Gu Qinghan's voice suddenly came from behind him.

Chu Tian's hand trembled, almost tearing off the third chain.

Immediately after, he saw the black clouds above the Earth Vein Giant's head solidify again.

A black waterfall of similar scale to before poured down, but its position was different.

This time, the Death Qi waterfall targeted the giant hammer.

The Death Qi, slowly pouring down like a watermark, made layers of rock brittle, and these rocks then flaked off as the Earth Vein Giant moved.

Finally, Chu Tian's seal completely broke, and the mountain peak hammer descended towards the ground like a world-ending hammer.

However, the main target of this Death Qi waterfall was this weapon.

After two uses, this black waterfall had completely transformed into Gu Qinghan's skill.

Gu Qinghan thought for a moment and gave the skill a domineering name:

Judgment of the End.

This was the power of Death Qi, one of the six elemental forces.

Under the impact of the Death Qi waterfall, all living beings would meet their end, as if it were a judgment from the Grim Reaper.

As it swung, the outermost layer of rock on the mountain peak hammer had already begun to shatter.

The Scarlet Witch suddenly put down Chu Tian and flew towards the giant hammer.

She certainly wasn't going to her death, but had received Gu Qinghan's command:

Go and provide some obstruction to that giant hammerhead.

The Scarlet Witch looked at the rapidly descending giant hammer in front of her, then suddenly raised her hands, making an upward pushing motion.

Immediately after, a blood-colored protective shield appeared above her hands.

The moment the shield formed, the giant hammer was already about to smash into this defense.

The Scarlet Witch immediately flew a little further away, to avoid being caught in the collision.

Crack... When the mountain peak hammer collided with the Blood Guardian, a faint sound of something breaking was heard.

The protective shield formed by the Blood Guardian instantly became covered in cracks, like glass hit by a sledgehammer.

But that cracking sound wasn't just one, but two simultaneous sounds.

A not-so-small piece of rock was directly flung away by this collision, spinning off in an empty direction.

This was like flipping a switch, causing the entire mountain peak hammer to enter a state of disintegration.

Cracks appeared, and rocks, large and small, fell one after another.

Of course, the mountain peak hammer didn't completely shatter, but the broken parts occupied a significant volume.

Moreover, with this collision, the Earth Vein Giant also seemed to have developed a problem.

A smile appeared on Gu Qinghan's face; this Judgment of the End did not encompass the Earth Vein Giant's main body.

He specifically aimed at the opponent's right half, allowing the dense, liquid-like Death Qi to flow along the weapon towards the giant's shoulder.

At this moment, his plan had succeeded.

The giant hammer, carrying shattered rocks, landed on the ground in a twisted, bizarre posture.

Several shockwaves and cracks appeared, but they seemed extremely perfunctory and hasty.

For no other reason than that most of the Earth Vein Giant's full-power strike was defused by Gu Qinghan.

There was even a crooked energy stream drilling from underground towards the military's side, which was directly intercepted by the Bear King released by Gu Qinghan.

"Gu Qinghan, stop spacing out! While it's weak, use that skill again!"

Chu Tian's voice suddenly rang out, causing Gu Qinghan's mouth to twitch involuntarily.

He looked at the other party speechlessly, as if he were looking at an idiot.

Powerful skills generally have very long cooldowns, or come with very strict restrictions or side effects.

And the skill Gu Qinghan created this time still didn't require mana, but it had a special restriction similar to Whale Swallowing Sea Burial.

That is, there must have been combat in the surrounding area within a short period of time for the spell to be cast.

The Death Qi in the sky didn't appear out of thin air; Gu Qinghan gathered it from the surroundings using his skill.

It was precisely because of this that Gu Qinghan was able to release it twice in a short period.

However, now, although Gu Qinghan could no longer use Judgment of the End, he could let his ranged minions start attacking directly.

After all, the dense Death Qi had completely covered the Earth Vein Giant's feet, even suppressing the speed at which its combat power increased.

Death Qi was originally effective against living beings; rocks and soil shouldn't be affected.

But the most awkward point about the Earth Vein Giant was its ability to transform rocks and soil into parts of its own body.

Moreover, this guy could even connect with the earth, creating pulse-like channels to provide itself with energy.

One could only say that if Gu Qinghan's methods hadn't happened to counter it today, Chu Tian might have had to continue unsealing who knows how many seals.

Soon, the Earth Vein Giant's broken right arm also fell to the ground amidst rounds of bombardment.

It could have recovered its injuries through the earth, but the extremely disgusting properties of Death Qi prevented it from regenerating its severed arm.

Even if the arm that wanted to regrow was made of rock, it couldn't.

The Earth Vein Giant let out an angry roar, and its earthy yellow helmet emitted a dense yellow light, condensing into round boulders that it threw towards Gu Qinghan.

But the speed at which these boulders appeared couldn't keep up with the speed at which they were shattered, posing no threat whatsoever.

Having no other choice, the Earth Vein Giant could only start moving its feet, trying to grab Gu Qinghan.

But its legs had long been saturated with Death Qi for who knows how long, and as soon as it moved, it immediately fell to the ground.

Even so, Gu Qinghan still took over two hours to clear out this behemoth's vitality.

In the previous battle, he had already leveled up to 44, and this time he directly gained another level.

However, his current method of acquiring skills was very special; apart from increased mana and combat power, there were no other benefits.

On the contrary, Gu Qinghan preferred a sentence that echoed in his mind.

It was the Guardian's voice; he had notified Gu Qinghan in the Necropolis:

"The power of death has been collected almost completely. You can return here at any time to enter the Netherworld for training."
