“The forbidden spell scroll?”

The Undead Lord, or rather the accumulated experience and knowledge of countless years from tens of thousands of Maldonis, with eyes as sharp as daggers, instantly recognized what it was.

“But that’s useless against me!”

The visible wounds on his body healed rapidly at a rate visible to the naked eye, completely restored within a dozen breaths.

The Undead Lord straightened his body, a cold smirk containing mockery gradually forming at the corners of his mouth. “No matter what power you unleash, when you step into this archipelago today, ultimately, you cannot escape the fate of death.”

“Your orderly fraction cannot save this place, demons will eventually dominate this world, because He chose us!”

Ji Chen remained expressionless, just staring indifferently at this evil humanoid monster.

“You talk too much.”

The Undead Lord grinned, suddenly exerting force with his feet, transforming into a ghostly black shadow. His massive fist carried the weight of ten thousand pounds of force, causing even the air to tremble with its impact, forming a negative pressure zone with great suction force.

The sky seemed to wail, and the seawater rose tens of meters into the air.

The Undead Lord, seeing a human without any intention to dodge, revealed a smirk of joy.

If the human utilized the teleportation ability from before to evade his attack, there wouldn’t be a good method of pursuit as long as he didn’t reveal his full strength.

But if he wanted to block this seemingly ordinary, yet terrifying punch with a human body, it would undoubtedly be an overestimation and seeking death!

This similar punch had once, tens of thousands of years ago during their soul exchange, annihilated hundreds of demon heroes who dared to rebel and seize the position of the Undead Lord.

Leaving no bones behind!

“Human, die!”

Watching Ji Chen getting closer, the Undead Lord roared lowly, as if he could already see this human being crushed into powder under his fist.

“Your power, is mine—”

However, before he finished speaking, a force carrying terrifying kinetic energy slammed heavily onto his head from the side. At the moment of contact, the bursting force, like a syringe, injected into his body in an instant, wreaking havoc like a mad bull inside him.

Surprised by the sudden and overwhelming agony that felt like it pierced his very being, the Undead Lord’s mind went blank for a split second. His previously straight fist also veered slightly off course, and with great momentum, it shot sideways with a swift whoosh, still carrying its full force, slamming into the sea and sending up a towering pillar of water tens of meters high.

Observing a few strands of hair gently descending before him, Ji Chen stayed composed. He lifted his hand, and the Demon Slayer, dislodged by the Undead Lord, swiftly returned to his grasp with a soft swish, emitting a subtle blue glow.

Among them contained endless surging energy, roaring seawater.

Boom—

The sea surface suddenly swelled into a large bulge, and the Undead Lord leaped out from it, heavily landing on the island. His head had a pit, deep enough to reveal bones, and his arm on the side showed a strange twisted angle, indicating that it had already been broken.

However, as if feeling no pain at all, the undead lord’s eyes sparkled with excitement as he looked at the Demon Slayer in Ji Chen’s hand. A strange flush appeared on his face.

“That’s the weapon and power that killed Balzarna? This aura, stronger and more magnificent than mine, must be the power of the gods!!”

The undead lord’s expression was excited, bordering on madness, which even caused Ji Chen to furrow his brow.

The power of the ocean belonged to the orderly fraction, just like the Storm Authority, it was poison to demons. Logically, even if a demon obtained the power of the ocean, they would be unable to use it.

He didn’t quite understand why the undead lord was so eager.

It appeared that the Undead Lord’s intentions weren’t solely focused on seizing the powers of the Orderly fraction, but there were deeper motives at play.

Before thoughts could be fully collected, another disturbance occurred.

The Undead Lord’s body suddenly became shrouded in an intensely thick mist, accompanied by an extremely malevolent energy emanating. The surrounding already contaminated land quickly took on a peculiar dusk-like gray hue.

The ghastly white bones rapidly aged and decayed like snow encountering scorching sun, with tiny black spots appearing and swiftly spreading into large patches of decay, rotting away and dissolving into foul-smelling water merging with the equally putrid soil.

Everything nearby, whether corpses, soil, deadwood, or stones, seemed to undergo centuries of decay and deterioration in mere moments, reaching a horrifying extreme.

Even the air was saturated with a potent decay, emitting a foul odor that made one feel as if their body was succumbing to decay, engulfed in gloom.

Ji Chen’s pupils suddenly contracted, promptly using the power of the sea to drive it away.

This… a power?

The Undead Lord’s previously injured body rebounded like rubber, and its twisted, broken arm was reconnected in a grotesque manner.

It twisted its neck, emitting a creaking sound, and upon seeing Ji Chen’s astonished expression, a sinister smile once again appeared on its face.

“Human, just because you possess divine power doesn’t mean I don’t. This is the Corrosion Authority, one of the forty-eight mid-tier authorities, which is no less potent than yours.”

Ji Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.

Mid-level deities wielded the mid-tier forty-eight powers, which were stronger than the one hundred and eight lesser powers held by lower deities.

The Corrosion Authority, among the mid-tier authorities, was neither high nor low, ranking thirtieth, governing decay and capable of causing rapid deterioration in substances in a short period..
