Chapter 1535 is enough.
"Smash!!!!!"
The sound of flesh and blood bursting was as loud as thunder!
The hydra's fangs pierced through Gorm's body in an instant, and the terrifying bite force chewed his body to pieces! Blood and bits of flesh exploded in the air, splattering into a cloud of scarlet mist!
At the same time, the purple malevolent venom was injected into his mangled body, and his seventh-level Soul Emperor body was instantly refined into the purest blood energy, which was completely absorbed by Muraki's demonic soul power.
Muraki remained expressionless.
It felt like crushing an ant; I didn't feel much at all.
Those indifferent eyes slowly turned to Shi Ting, Xuan Jin, and Wan Yan.
The meaning couldn't be clearer:
Your turn.
Shi Ting, Xuan Jin, and Wan Yan's expressions changed drastically.
The dozens of elite warriors from various races were terrified, and several Earth Clan warriors instinctively tried to turn and run away.
However, they froze in place as soon as they took a step.
The surrounding environment had completely changed at some point.
Xuan Jin looked around and realized that the once solid ground beneath her feet had now turned into a purplish-black swamp of poisonous gas. Thick, viscous poisonous mist churned on the ground, emitting a nauseating, sweet-smelling stench. A faint purple miasma filled the air, and each breath sent a burning pain through her lungs.
This is the domain ability of the Hydra Xiangliu, which has silently enveloped this area for several miles sometime in the past!
"Hiss—!"
The hydra behind Muraki let out sharp hisses, and its nine heads rose up at the same time, like nine purple lightning bolts, rushing towards the scattered warriors of the myriad races!
"what--!!!"
"Do not--!!!"
Screams rose and fell, but then abruptly ceased.
With each strike of the nine serpent heads, a warrior was instantly bitten, devoured, and refined. The elites of the orcs, elves, and earth races had no right to struggle against the hunt of this ancient beast.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of soldiers had all perished!
Seeing this, Lion Claw clenched his fist and finally unleashed his power.
"boom!!!"
Golden lightning exploded from his body, enveloping his powerful physique. The combat power of an eighth-level Soul Emperor surged forth as if it were tangible! His golden sideburns stood on end in the lightning, each hair wrapped with leaping arcs of electricity, and his eyes burned with a death-defying fighting spirit.
"Gentlemen, there's no escape now. Let's attack together!" Lion Thunder said in a deep voice.
Xuan Jin nodded solemnly, her body shimmering with azure light, and her soul power at the eighth level of the Soul Emperor realm also erupted.
Wan Yan gritted his teeth and unleashed the soul power of a sixth-level Soul Emperor. Earthy yellow light condensed into a thick armor around him!
......
Then......
They are dead.
The stubborn earthen armor was like paper before the hydra's fangs. One head snapped down, its fangs crushing the armor before swallowing him whole, leaving him no time to even scream...
Xuan Jin summoned a vast expanse of lush green vines from the ground, only to have them instantly corroded by the hydra's venomous mist. A serpent's head attacked from the side, its fangs piercing his chest. Xuan Jin's eyes widened in horror as he watched helplessly as his powerful, eighth-level Soul Emperor body rapidly dissolved under the corrosive influence of the venomous aura...
Lion Thunder's figure sped through the golden lightning, moving so fast that his trajectory was almost invisible.
His body was wrapped in violent lightning, which made a chilling shriek and friction sound in the air. His fist, which was powerful enough to tear space apart, was aimed straight at Muraki's face!
However, his punch didn't even have a chance to touch Muraki before a snake's head attacked from behind him.
"Pfft—!"
In an instant, fangs pierced through his lightning armor from behind, penetrating his spine and protruding from his chest!
Lion's pupils suddenly contracted to pinpoints. He looked down in disbelief at the blood-stained fangs protruding from his chest.
Golden lightning bolts leaped and struggled wildly on his body, but were quickly eroded and extinguished by the purple poisonous mist.
The venom from the fang took effect quickly. He opened his mouth slightly, as if trying to say something, but before he could utter the first sound, he lost consciousness...
The fierce battle lasted less than a few minutes.
Lion Thunder, Xuan Jin, Wan Yan, and Gom, four once-powerful patriarchs of the myriad races, had their Soul Emperor-level bodies, essence, blood, and remnant souls all dissolved and refined into a mass of scarlet blood-red soul power by the venomous swamp energy of the Hydra.
The soul power slowly rotated in the void, like a miniature blood-red vortex, and finally transformed into a stream of light, which was completely absorbed by Muraki and merged into his body.
The existence of these four Soul Emperor realm experts has now come to an end in the history of all races.
"Hehehehehehehehe..."
Behind Muraki, the nine heads of the Hydra, Xiangliu, emitted a piercing, chilling laugh. That laughter was filled with a suppressed pleasure and greed accumulated over millions of years.
"Finally, that'll be enough."
"Soon, I will be able to restore my peak strength from billions of years ago!"
Muraki remained silent.
He sat there quietly, cross-legged, letting the newly absorbed crimson soul power flow and merge within his body.
The Hydra's laughter gradually subsided.
It noticed Muraki's silence, and its nine snake heads leaned forward slightly, a hint of amusement flashing in its blood-red eyes:
"Muraki, you've worked hard these past few days, finding so many blood sacrifices for me. I will remember your contribution as I regain my strength."
Muraki said slowly, "You don't need to thank me, senior. Anyway, I was just using you."
Upon hearing this, the nine-headed serpent Xiang Liu's vertical pupils flickered.
"Oh?"
It remained silent for a long while, then gave a disdainful laugh, its eyes and tone revealing a hint of mockery and contempt: "Hehehe... You're saying you're using me?"
Muraki: "I know you've always wanted to truly possess my body and become its true master. That way, you can be reborn in the mortal realm and start cultivating again."
"Heh..." The hydra Xiangliu sneered: "That was just something I said in jest before. Did you really think I would care about your physical body?"
"Boy, you overestimate yourself. Do you think you can just find any body to hold an eleventh-tier ghost god-level undead? In your era, too much of the spiritual energy of the mortal realm has been taken away by the divine realm. The weak bodies of mortal beings are not even qualified to be vessels for us ancient ghost gods!"
Muraki slightly raised his head, his deep eyes beneath the mask looking at the massive Hydra undead body before him: "So, all this time you've actually been cultivating me as a suitable vessel, haven't you?"
"......Um?"
Xiang Liu's nine heads narrowed their eyes simultaneously and fell silent.
