327: The embodiment of a curse!

Curse energy of unimaginable magnitude, the essence of resentment accumulated over ten thousand years, fragments of authority over the Negative Laws of this realm... everything, following that torrent of energy, poured into the body of the Lord of Curses!

"Argh—!!!"

Even one as powerful as the Lord of Curses, at the moment of enduring such a massive infusion of power...

...could not help but let out a roar mixed with pain and extreme pleasure!

The black mist surrounding His body expanded wildly, churning and undergoing a qualitative change!

The color shifted from deep black, gradually taking on a layer of wicked, dark purple luster!

His terrifying Aura climbed steadily, as if there were no end!

Space wailed, shattered, and reorganized around His body!

The ground around the altar cracked inch by inch.

Even the altar itself began to disintegrate and melt!

The Evil Energy liquid flowing in the air churned as if boiling!

All the core Demonic Evils present stopped their chanting now, staring blankly at their Dominator.

They felt that terrifying pressure, as vast as the abyssal Universe and capable of freezing the Soul.

One by one, their faces showed unparalleled shock, as well as near-fanatical worship and excitement!

"It succeeded! The Lord has succeeded!"

"The Myriad Curses Corrosion Realm, the authority is bestowed! The Lord now wields the Source of Curses for this realm!"

"From now on, under the Lord's leadership, we shall sweep across this realm and trample all human ants under our feet!"

"That human is finished! No matter how strong he is, how can he contend with the Lord who wields the authority of an entire realm?!"

"The glory of the Abyss shall bloom in this realm! And we are all founding fathers who have inaugurated a new era!"

The Demonic Evils discussed fervently, their voices trembling with excitement.

The way they looked at the Lord of Curses was as if they were looking at a living deity!

As for the slaughter happening outside and that terrifying human who was approaching...

...at this moment, in their hearts, these were no longer things to be feared!

As long as the Lord was here, all enemies would be nothing more than clay chickens and pottery dogs!

The ritual was complete; the authority was in hand.

This world was already in their grasp!

At this moment, the atmosphere in the core altar area was heated and fanatical to the extreme!

Every Demonic Evil's heart was filled with infinite longing for the future.

As well as the impatience for the coming 'revenge' and 'conquest'!

And at the center of the power infusion, the Lord of Curses...

...felt the terrifying energy surging within His body, almost to the point of overflowing.

He felt that sense of absolute control, as if a single thought could change the mountains and rivers and make all living beings tremble.

He slowly clenched His fists, which were formed from black mist and the newly integrated dark purple curse energy.

In His crimson eyes, flashes of unprecedented cruelty, confidence, and ambition burst forth.

"Skeleton Monarch... you cowards, you useless trash!"

He roared silently in His heart, filled with contempt for the other Abyssal Overlords.

"Hesitating and fearful! You clearly should have used your foundations long ago, gathered authority, and crushed everything with absolute power!"

"But you insisted on playing with those ridiculous schemes, doing things like infiltration and temptation."

"And the result? One by one, you died and your paths ended, even dragging down the Abyss's prestigious name!"

"But I! The Lord of Curses! I have chosen the most correct, the most overbearing path!"

"I already wield the Source of Curses for this realm! My power is no longer what it once was!"

"From this day forth, the right to speak in the Gloomy Abyss shall be reshuffled!"

"Once I deal with that human insect outside and completely stabilize the passage to this realm..."

"I shall be the new Supreme Dominator of the Abyss!"

"Hahahahaha—!!!"

Amidst His internal wild laughter, the Lord of Curses' Aura erupted, reaching its peak!

"Boom—!!!"

He no longer suppressed His power; dark purple curse energy shot up from His body like a volcanic eruption!

It transformed into a massive pillar of energy over a hundred meters in diameter, boldly piercing through the blood-cloud vortex above the altar and stabbing straight into the firmament!

For a time, the entire Soul Burial Valley...

...no, the sky of the entire Northwest region was dyed with a layer of wicked dark purple!

Clouds rolled and thunder exploded.

Space let out the sound of overburdened cracking!

With the Lord of Curses as the center, a terrifying Curse Field covering hundreds of miles was suddenly formed!

Within the field, gravity was chaotic, Laws were distorted, and resentment transformed into literal black snowflakes falling from the sky.

Countless agonizingly distorted illusions appeared in the air, wailing!

It was as if this piece of heaven and earth had completely transformed into a kingdom of curses!

"Hiss—! What is that?!"

"Such... such terrifying power! I feel like my Soul is about to be frozen!"

"It's the Lord of Curses! His ritual is complete! His power... has already exceeded our scope of understanding!"

"Special Commissioner Chen... can Special Commissioner Chen handle this?!"

The Human Allied Forces, who were currently chasing after Chen Nian with all their might, all came to a halt.

They looked up at the dark purple energy pillar in the distance that connected heaven and earth.

They felt that terrifying Curse Field permeating the world, making their spiritual power sluggish and their Souls ache.

Their faces were written with unparalleled shock, horror, and deep worry!

Fairy Ling Shuang's pretty face turned pale, and the hand holding her sword trembled slightly.

Veins bulged on Sword Without Trace's forehead as he resisted the ubiquitous curse erosion with all his strength.

Old Daoist Zhang Mingyuan's beard quivered, and the compass in his hand cracked with a "snap."

Captain Wang Zhen gritted his teeth and roared into the communicator: "All units! Activate maximum level psionic shields! Steady your minds! Do not be eroded by the curse illusions!"

At this moment, Chen Nian also noticed the situation over there.

His Blood-Fiend Power receded slightly as he cast a calm gaze forward.

There, the dark purple energy pillar was like an evil god's pillar supporting the heavens.

Within the pillar, a figure shrouded in black mist was slowly rising into the air.

A terrifying Aura surged continuously from that figure like a tsunami.

The pressure caused the surrounding space to take on the appearance of shattered glass.

It was indeed the Lord of Curses, who had just completed the ritual and been bestowed with authority!

Chen Nian looked at that figure with its sky-shaking Aura and felt the terrifying energy fluctuations within the opponent's body.

Instead of solemnity, a hint of interest appeared on his face.

Chen Nian smiled contemptuously and whispered to himself:

"Oh? This is the power of the 'World-Ending Curse Seal'?"

"The energy level is indeed decent, and the concentration of resentment is high enough, but this appearance is a bit too flamboyant."

Almost at the instant Chen Nian's gaze fell upon Him...

...the Lord of Curses' massive eyes, crimson like blood moons, suddenly turned and locked onto him!

Their eyes met.

On one side was calm indifference, as if looking at a slightly special object.

On the other side was boiling malice, cruelty, and the absolute confidence of controlling everything.

The Lord of Curses, carrying the overwhelming dark purple energy and terrifying pressure...

...let out a grand and cold voice that directly penetrated space.

It clearly entered the minds of Chen Nian and all the human experts behind him:

"You are Chen Nian?"

"To be able to kill the Abyssal Devourer and the Incinerator in succession, heavily injure the Skeleton Monarch, break through all the way here, and slaughter the elites under my command..."

"You indeed have some skill; you can be called an anomaly among the humans of this realm."

"But it ends here!"

The Lord of Curses' voice suddenly rose, filled with an indisputable tone of sentencing:

"I already wield the curse authority of this realm and have been bestowed with the 'World-Ending Curse Seal'!"

"Now, I am the Incarnation of the Negative Laws of this realm!"

"No matter how strong your Physical Body is or how strange your techniques are, before my authority, they are all like rootless duckweed, unable to withstand a single blow!"

"Kneel! Offer up your Soul! Perhaps I can grant you a quick end!"

"Otherwise, I shall curse your Bloodline to be severed, your friends and relatives to die out, and your Soul to sink forever into the pain of ten thousand curses devouring your heart."

"You will find no way to live, and no way to die!"

The terrifying words of curse, accompanied by the pressure of authority...

...were like physical shackles, crushing toward Chen Nian's position!

It was as if He wanted to completely crush and intimidate him with words and Aura alone!

Facing this terrifying pressure and vicious curse carrying the power of a realm's authority...

...Chen Nian raised his head, looked at the aggressive Lord of Curses, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled into an undisguised, extremely contemptuous arc.

His voice was clear and flat, likewise spreading throughout the entire core area, even drowning out the roar of the energy pillar:

"Just because you've inhaled some old resentment, you really think you're something?"

"Authority? Dominator?"

Chen Nian only gave a cruel smile and said contemptuously:

"A frog in a well, ignorant of the heights of heaven."

"Today, I'll let you see—"

"—what true power is."
