Volume 5, Chapter 103 – The Truth Within Curse Power

——”Bai Lianyue, you truly deserve to die.”——

Astral slightly narrowed his eyes, and a chilling killing intent suddenly surged from his pupils.

Although he hadn’t had much direct contact with Bai Lianyue,

Astral harbored extreme hatred for this Chief of the First Celestial Augur Knights of Yao Xing.

After all, over these thousand years, she had caused no small amount of trouble for his House Solrog.

Therefore,

After rushing before Bai Lianyue, Astral coldly murmured, muttering sentence after sentence.

“Troublesome pest. A thousand years ago, seeing your powerful strength, I let you become a Celestial Augur Knight. Yet not only were you ungrateful, you repeatedly opposed Shenluo’s subjugation forces, protecting those alien race trash.”

“Protecting that trash was one thing, but you also hindered Isabelle from obtaining her primordium.”

“Your daughter’s worthless life, compared to the world’s future, what does it amount to? You thoughtless piece of garbage.”

“Even after death you won’t give me peace.”

“You actually became an evil god? For a thousand years you’ve been causing me trouble in Yao Xing!”

“You destroyed the Divine Kingdom’s stronghold.”

“Now you’ve even come to Earth to run wild? And killed Isabelle and Hume?!”

“You bastard, you really are my nemesis, aren’t you?!”

“If it weren’t for you, my long-cherished wish would have been realized long ago!! Instead of dragging on until now!”

Punch after punch, wave after wave of energy impacts—while unleashing his power, Astral also completely released the fury he’d held in his heart for years, venting it all on Bai Lianyue.

Facing Bai Lianyue’s attacks, Astral remained consistently disdainful.

Rеad oո ΚatRеаdіոɡСafе

After becoming Divine Graced Realm, Astral had obtained his own rule-based power.

All substances harmful to him would pass through his body, unable to cause him any damage. It wasn’t simple phasing, but rather being unable to be hit at all.

No matter how ferocious the Terran Malevolence’s attacks were, if they couldn’t hit him, they were ultimately meaningless.

The Terran Malevolence couldn’t hit him, while his attacks poured down on Bai Lianyue’s body like a violent storm.

He had to admit,

The Terran Malevolence certainly had thick health. Even after being bombarded by his series of attacks, even with her body torn apart, she continued to regenerate and restore herself, her regeneration speed not slowing at all.

“Heh, but what use is thick health? A living target ultimately has only one fate—annihilation.”

——”Yes, exactly like this. Eliminate all those who stand in your way, and only then can you achieve your long-cherished wish.”——

The strange voice echoed in Astral’s mind once again, causing him, who was continuously venting his power, to gradually show a maniacally excited expression.

“What?!! Is this your level?! How disappointing!!”

Amid his mocking laughter, Astral’s strike condensed with vast power hit Bai Lianyue’s abdomen again. The spreading force directly blasted Bai Lianyue in half. Miss Evil God’s remaining upper body fell with black smoke into the distant ruins.

However, as her body fell, Bai Lianyue’s previously hollow and vacant pupils gradually showed an unusual glimmer.

“Mm? Seems like… it’s almost digested.”

On the other side, Astral naturally didn’t notice Bai Lianyue’s subtle eye changes. Going all out, he was continuously accumulating power in his right fist, his six light rings blooming with dazzling purple-gold radiance.

Undoubtedly, he planned to shatter Bai Lianyue with one strike, completely ending this battle.

——”Yes, exactly like this. Eliminate all troublesome obstacles.”——

As Astral gathered power, the murmuring voice in his mind continued to ripple mysteriously.

However, just as Astral planted his legs in the void and kicked off forcefully toward Bai Lianyue, the mechanized strange whispers that occasionally echoed in his mind seemed to suddenly possess real consciousness at this moment, letting out a surprised exclamation.

——”Hmm? After searching so long… so it was… here?”——

???

Huh??

With these slightly bewildered words echoing in his mind, Astral was instantly stunned, confusion immediately overflowing from his purple-gold heterochromatic pupils. Although the whispers had continuously echoed in Astral’s mind before, due to some strange suggestions, Astral had never noticed anything wrong.

However, with that unexpected cry of surprise, Astral finally noticed the abnormality.

What the hell??

How is that voice echoing in my head?!

Where did it come from?!!

His brows furrowed tightly, and an ominous premonition immediately surged in Astral’s heart. However, he seemed to have no time to think about this problem now, because with the further release of his power, Astral had already killed his way to Bai Lianyue’s front.

Facing the evil god so close at hand, launching an attack to eliminate her was obviously the urgent matter. As for the strange voice that suddenly echoed in his mind, Astral could only think about it later.

——”Holy Martial Arts – Creation Reincarnation!”——

With his inner roar, Astral’s right fist, which had accumulated vast spiritual power, struck toward the elf girl’s head like a devastating force. Previously, it was precisely this move that had directly disabled most of Ulutiel’s combat power.

Facing such an attack, the elf girl raised her hand, trying to block Astral’s head-exploding strike.

Regarding this, Astral, as the True Ancestor of Solrog, couldn’t help but show a disdainful smile.

Heh,

Still don’t understand?

Facing my attacks, you can only dodge! Block? That’s completely useless!

Reaԁ oո КatRеаԁiոgСаfе

With such thoughts, Astral paid no attention to Bai Lianyue’s raised small hand, directly swinging his fist forward, trying to pass through Bai Lianyue’s hand and smash her head with one strike.

However, Astral’s wishful thinking.

This time, it fell through.

Because the next instant, his fist didn’t pass through Bai Lianyue’s hand as he expected, but was directly grasped by her five fingers?! Forcibly halted in mid-air.

??!!

“Wha, what?!!”

Astonishment appeared in Astral’s pupils.

Before he could figure out the situation, unprecedented severe pain rapidly transmitted from his right fist, causing this True Ancestor of Solrog to suddenly show an expression of agony. Guided by this severe pain, Astral gritted his teeth and forcefully withdrew his hand, retreating backward to create distance from Bai Lianyue.

Stabilizing his body and looking down at his right hand, a rare trace of terror overflowed from Astral’s eyes.

At this moment,

The part of his right hand that had previously contacted Bai Lianyue’s palm had already begun to corrode and collapse at a visible speed. Soon, his palm completely disappeared, and the collapse continued spreading along his right arm toward Astral’s body.

His pupils contracting, Astral decisively turned his left hand into a blade and without a word chopped off his entire right arm with a hand strike.

Looking at his right arm rapidly crumbling to nothing on the ground, Astral’s expression immediately became extremely grim.

What’s happening? Why can she touch me??

Biting his lip, while puzzled and thinking, Astral also cast a wary gaze forward, toward the figure who had torn off his arm.

However, after clearly seeing the other party, Astral’s pupils contracted once again.

“Tea, teacher?!!”

Rеaԁ οո ΚаtRеaⅾіոɡCαfе

Looking at the middle-aged man in ancient martial clothing who exuded a powerful aura and was walking toward him step by step, Astral instinctively retreated several steps.

Because now, appearing before him was none other than the teacher he had personally killed with his own hands.

Earth’s previous apostle of The Lord, Ruoli.

“No, impossible. How could you… Right, it is indeed impossible… You’re not my teacher.”

After brief panic, Astral’s gaze became resolute again.

“The Terran Malevolence’s ability?”

When the Trinity of Malevolence manifested in person, they all possessed the ability to distort others’ perceptions. Gaia Lobir’s true form would make people see what they feared most in their hearts.

Realizing this, Astral angrily clenched his fist.

“Distorting perception? Heh, hehe… I won’t fall for your tricks!”

Having one’s perception distorted was ultimately a manifestation of insufficient strength.

The current him was a Divine Graced Realm expert! Moreover, a Divine Graced Realm expert possessing the Heart of the World and vast amounts of resentful power.

Want to interfere with him by distorting perception?

Hmph, dream on!

Gritting his teeth, Astral’s pupils suddenly contracted as large amounts of spiritual power gathered in his eyes. Astral wanted to break through the evil god’s perceptual interference.

With the gathering of energy, the image of his teacher immediately began to distort and transform.

However, as Ruoli’s image completely shattered, Astral’s smile froze directly in place.

——”No, impossible?!! How… how could it be you?!!”——
