The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 952 - 376: Instant Kill_2

Niu Tiechui threw a fierce punch, shattering a large area of rock, careful not to slacken in the slightest.

Thus, several days later, they came upon a gigantic cavern with an entrance three thousand meters tall.

Ye Hanjun glanced upward and continued walking inside without pause.

Ye Liuying, Dongfang Xu, Renwo Kuang and the others also tread as if on level ground, without a hint of hesitation.

"Lord, although they are all at the Glorious Perfection level, in terms of combat power, King Niu’erwang and Niusanwang are obviously stronger than Niudawang,"

"Their subordinates are also exceptionally ruthless. There are at least five oxen who have reached Great Completion in Glorious Perfection."

Niu Tiechui rubbed his palms together, feeling a mix of apprehension and unease.

Ye Hanjun’s heart was as still as water, his Super Spirituality fully activated. The damp and dim cavern lit up in his eyes as if it were daytime.

"Which ox is entering the nest?"

"Oh, it’s Hammer, huh? Have you ended your vacation, boy?"

Two ox generals donned in metal armor, blades in hand, stood guard on either side.

With a mocking expression, they made faces at each other; they seemed to be very familiar with Niu Tiechui, birds of a feather.

"Scram!"

Niu Tiechui was enraged and swung his palm at them.

Niu Tiedao and Niu Tiepan were stunned for an instant, their thoughts freezing.

After snapping back to reality, they raised their blades in a reflexive block.

"You kid, what are you going crazy for?"

"I should be asking you, who are these humans? New tender skins caught specially for the Great King’s tribute?"

"If you don’t wish to die, kneel down!"

Niu Tiechui didn’t reply but signaled covertly with his eyes.

Clearly, the two guards weren’t very clever and had foul tempers to boot.

Losing their jesting demeanor, their pupils glinted with ferocity as they cursed,

"You bloody bastard, who do you think you are?"

"Calling us ’brothers’ when it suits you because you know how to play nice, do you really think you’re that important?"

"Avici Hell."

Ye Hanjun’s clothing transformed in an instant, blood turning into a long carpet that stretched out hundreds of meters beneath his feet, extending forward.

The Law-Figure-World of the Ten Directions Yama King Palace expanded, engulfing the two ox generals in the blink of an eye.

In the next moment, the void at the center point shattered, revealing a grander and darker hell.

It had no real color, yet held a weight that even space couldn’t bear. Within the web of cracks, a black hole pierced through the spines of both oxen. They lost the stability of their physical forms and, with nothing to cling onto, plummeted into the void.

"Ah..."

Two cries, faint as the buzz of mosquitoes or flies, completely vanished from earshot.

Niu Tiechui heard no thud of landing, but being so close brought a suffocating feeling that seemed to turn time itself into an eternity, lingering in his mind, forged into a shadow.

"Continue, no more talking, cut through everything on our path."

Ye Hanjun ordered.

"By the command of Shenyi!"

Niu Tiechui, who inwardly noted the honored name, nodded vehemently.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The Hung Ox Cave was fortified with barriers and checkpoints, yet they were not of human make and lacked precision in their construction.

Ye Hanjun bulldozed his way through, devouring the guards of Glorious Void Extraction into ’Avici Hell’.

For the foreseeable future, the needs of the Flesh Furnace and Soul Spring for prey were amply met.

Facing those of Small Achievement and Great Completion in Glorious skills, he no longer left Goose Immortal or Huazhu to practice.

He directly ordered Mo, and in the blink of an eye, all were blown into pieces.

"Great King, disaster has struck, we have been invaded!"

"Run for your lives! That’s a monster! A monster dressed in human skin! No ox lives in his presence!"

"Where is the Great King? Where is he? Save me! I’m barely over two thousand years old, I don’t want to die..."

The once-peaceful Hung Ox Cave—suddenly plunged into chaos, all order lost.

The piercing screams and frantic footsteps played like a macabre symphony, disturbingly beautiful to the ear.

"Shenyi... such an arrogant name..."

"Are you from the Black Demon Church? Couldn’t handle the rejection and gathered your forces to storm us?"

A chilling wind howled, and from the deepest darkness of the marshland, a creature slowly crawled forth.

Her body was rotting away, not a single piece of flesh intact.

The putrid stench hit one’s nose from afar.

Ye Hanjun’s piercing gaze instantly locked onto her.

The Festering Bovine Matron—the supreme leader of Hung Ox Cave!

He had never heard of such creatures, presumably a mutant species.

Seeing it with his own eyes confirmed his suspicion.

The half-ox, half-human Festering Bovine Matron exuded evil from every pore.

She seemed a blend of virus and bacteria, pus and blood oozing from her eyes, her protruding female organs secreting a filthy, grayish-white milk.

The most abhorrent part was her lower half, her secret garden so decayed it became sludge, with centipedes as thick as arms weaving in and out, and fist-sized fleas hopping around—despair, darkness, death, and agony... she was the epitome of all these.

"Wow!"

Mo, sensing a similar presence, had his solitary eye light up with spirit.

The Festering Bovine Matron seemed to sense something as well, and suddenly took a step back, reaching a hand into the muck and forcefully dragging something.

"Clatter clatter clatter!"

The sound of metal chains shaking came from one side of the cavern, followed by a thunderous roar that shook the earth, and then with a rumble, the rock wall collapsed, and a giant beast burst forth.

"It’s King Niu’erwang! The Earth-Shaking Berserk Ox!"

Niu Tiechui’s face spelled fear, and instinctively, he rolled to the side.

"Mo!"

Ye Hanjun didn’t step back an inch, watching the giant beast charge, his calmness unwavering.

"Yahoo!"

Mo, clutching its ankle, leapt up gleefully.

Its form grew abruptly, the ground behind it cracking, and thousands of energy tentacles, densely packed, suddenly filled the entire view.

"Boom!!"

The ultimate skill ’Touch of Mountain and Sea,’ came crashing down uniformly.
