Chapter 675: Chapter 448: Great Void Finger Achieved, The Lord of Death is Born! _2
Xu Yang stowed away his Golden Light Spell and the Jiao-slaying Sword, stimulated the “Heavenly and Earthly Phenomenon,” and with the “Great Hammer” in hand, systematically smashed the assaulting undead creatures to ash.
The “Great Hammer” he wielded had transformed into a top-tier Daoist artifact and was nourished day and night by Xu Yang’s heavenly power and the rules of Immortal Daoist, giving rise to some embryonic forms of the rules of Immortal Daoist within it. It could potentially ascend to be an immortal artifact at any moment.
The approaching undead creatures that were killed transformed into a large amount of merit points.
This delighted Xu Yang. With a single thought, he spent a whopping 50 million merit points on the “Heavenly and Earthly Phenomenon,”
This superior Immortal Art experienced an instantaneous qualitative leap.
Xu Yang’s body size increased from ten to a hundred feet, and his aura surged dramatically. The Great Hammer in his hand grew in tandem, each strike it made smashing an undead knight, a lower-rank true deity, into pieces.
He looked closely and found that all the undead creatures summoned by the necromancer had already been slaughtered. He then looked up towards the figure atop the skeletal dragon and laughed, “My friend, could you summon more undead creatures? I was just beginning to enjoy this, and now there’s no one left. What a downer.”
“Human!”
Aboard the skeletal dragon.
Under his black robe, the necromancer’s eyes flickered with an eerie glow. His raspy voice echoed, “Eastern human…you are quite audacious to come to the Death Plains.”
An abundance of death rules burst forth from him.
With a wave of the magical staff in his hand, the skeletal dragon beneath his feet flapped its wings and charged towards Xu Yang.
This skeletal dragon was incredibly powerful, stronger than the undead knight, a lower-rank true deity.

Xu Yang, with the Great Hammer in hand, shouted, “Bring it on,” and battled it fiercely for a full ten minutes before the dragon was smashed into pieces. He looked up at the necromancer, suspended in the air, and, with a thought, pointed his finger like a sword, and made a slight flick…
Ding!
A multicoloured sword aura erupted from the tip of his finger and split the necromancer in half instantly.
The divine essence dropped.
The system notification sounded——
“Ding!”
“Congratulations, Host. For your successful subduction of the necromancer, you’ve received a reward: one million merit points.”
Xu Yang: “……”
He was startled for a moment, glanced at his own finger, then at the divine essence on the ground, and grinned sheepishly, “Damn…I got carried away. How did the Five Elements Emperor’s Slash become so fierce? It even killed this guy.”
Yes.
What Xu Yang had just used was the Five Elements Emperor’s Slash.
He had already upgraded the metallic and wooden great Dao to the level of Immortal Daoist.
While fighting fiercely just now, he multitasked and tried to practice it a bit and unexpectedly managed to perfect the Five Elements Emperor’s Slash effortlessly. He wanted to test its power but accidentally killed the necromancer on the way.
Luckily, this Death Plains didn’t lack for the undead.
Otherwise, Xu Yang would have regretted…
After all, a necromancer was like a BOSS that could summon minions. If he had kept it alive, it could have provided him with endless merits.
Stabilising his state of mind.
Xu Yang sustained the “Heavenly and Earthly Phenomenon.” Standing hundreds of feet tall, he emanated a terrifying aura. He held a hammer almost as big as his body, and with a loud laugh, he charged into the army of the undead.
“My little darlings!”
“Daoist Master is here!”
He was like a tiger among sheep.
Every time Xu Yang’s Great Hammer fell, a large swath of undead would be swept away.
Even the aura radiating from him was sufficient to reduce many of the weaker undead to ashes.
In his mind, the system notifications were ringing non-stop.
Xu Yang had just spent 50 million merit points and was left with just over 40 million. But in a mere 20 minutes, his merit points had broken through the 80 million mark again. With a single thought, he spent another 50 million merit points on enhancing the Five Elements Emperor’s Slash.
“Audacious!”
“Impudent!”
“Foolish mortal, you dare to act wildly on my Death Plains!”
At this moment, two middle-rank true deities appeared, advancing and retreating, trying to kill Xu Yang.
They were both undead from the Death Plains who had, after eons of cultivation, condensed their divine essence and became true deities. Though they matched Golden Immortals in terms of realms, their combat ability was generally on par with those in the later stages of the Heavenly Immortal Realm due to the western cultivation system.
The more formidable ones could only rival an ordinary Golden Immortal.
The power of these two mid-ranked true deities was comparable to the peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm.
With a flick of Xu Yang’s finger, the Five Elements Emperor’s Slash was unleashed, and a mid-ranked true deity was annihilated instantly.
He pointed a finger into the empty length of space, and the Great Void Finger transformed into a giant finger illusion, and exploded another true deity!
Despite Xu Yang’s cultivation level only being in the early stages of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, his combat prowess was not at all inferior to the latter stages. More significantly, after he exerted the “Heavenly and Earthly Phenomenon” spanning a hundred feet, its power vastly escalated, to easily hold its own against the peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm.
Under such circumstances, the Great Void Finger displayed by Xu Yang can unleash the power of a Golden Immortal, let alone the high-quality Immortal Art of the Five Elements Emperor’s Slash!
“This Death Plains, it truly is my blessing!”
Waving his hand to put away the divine essence, Xu Yang burst into laughter. He unleashed a variety of divine powers and Immortal Arts, continuing the slaughter of that endless army of undead. Whether they were divine beings or true deities, none could stand a chance against Xu Yang!
There was even a mid-ranked True Deity who was comparable to an ordinary Golden Immortal.
This adversary was formidable and had cultivated three true deity bodies. He battled with Xu Yang for eighteen minutes, and the combat aftermath alone eradicated the undead, providing Xu Yang with sixty million merits… In the end, he was vanquished by Xu Yang’s Five Elements Emperor’s Slash!
And now, the accumulated merits of Xu Yang have exceeded 300 million!
“Great Void Finger!”
“Three Heads, Six Arms!”
Xu Yang spent 100 million merits to upgrade the Great Void Finger and Three Heads, Six Arms!
Just like the Five Elements Emperor’s Slash and Heavenly and Earthly Phenomenon, Three Heads, Six Arms is a high-quality Immortal Art, and 50 million merits couldn’t even reach the primary level of perfection. But the Great Void Finger was different…it was an Immortal Art rewarded by the system. Before entering the Western Hell, Xu Yang had already cultivated it to “primary level.”
Now, investing 50 million more merits resulted in swift enhancement of this Immortal Art.
In Xu Yang’s heart, a sense of enlightenment rose, and around him, an esoteric aura began to shine. He invested another 100 million merit points, finally upgrading the Great Void Finger to the “advanced level!”
As the Great Void Finger reached completion, the rules of Immortal Daoist within his body increased rapidly, yielding 5000 rules in just a few minutes!
When condensing 5000 Immortal Daoist rules, he reached the middle stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm!
Xu Yang’s aura surged exponentially, his mind flickering with ideas.
“Upgrading one medium-quality Immortal Art consumed nearly 200 million of my merits… I also have nine high-quality Immortal Arts, if I were to cultivate all of them to completion, wouldn’t it cost billions of merits?”
“It looks like I need to keep earning merit points!”
As he unleashed the Great Void Finger, it slayed 80,000 of the undead army in one blow. As he was just about to continue his onslaught, an inexplicable sense of danger suddenly rose in his heart, making him retreat 500 miles away from the undead army.
The next moment.
Hmm hmm hmm hmm!!!
The land quaked.
Or to say, the entire Death Plains began to tremble violently!
From underneath the Death Plains, a strong aura surged towards the sky!
The countless undead army, sensing this aura, kneeled one after another, including those at divine and true deity levels without exception.
“What is this?”
Xu Yang’s heart raced, murmuring, “Could it be a High-ranking True Deity?”
The force was marginally colossal, making his heart palpitate.
With his current strength, he might be able to fight a mid-ranked true deity but facing a High-ranking True Deity… there were more likely to be dangers rather than advantages.
As for those high-ranking true deities who became so by refining their divine essence, they could possibly fight head-on. But those who became high-ranking true deities on their own, Xu Yang… didn’t have the slightest confidence!
Sensing the aura becoming stronger as if it was about to “be born” at any moment, the first thought that entered Xu Yang’s mind was to run!
He turned around, wanting to rush to the stone forest to whisk away his wives…
But it was too late!
Swish swish swish swish!
A total of nine divine lights fell down, blocking in front of Xu Yang.
Feeling the power of those nine divine lights, Xu Yang gulped unconsciously!
God damn it!
Nine high-ranking true deities?
However…
The aura of these nine High-ranking True Deities was not even one-tenth or one-hundredth of that of the one who had yet to “be born”!
