Chapter 238: Abyssal Trench Conquest Success

Zhang Nu showed no mercy as Morton the Formless was obliterated. The sheer strength of the Death Stare attack was such that even a Level 6 monarch would find it challenging to withstand! Although Zhang Nu intended to end the battle swiftly, eliminating a mythic-class opponent posed a challenge. He did not receive a kill notification, and the surrounding space continued to shimmer with stars, indicating that the opponent was not killed.

Far from being dismayed or angry, Zhang Nu instead displayed an expression of keen interest. "Surviving an attack from me? Intriguing!"

Zhang Nu closed his Eye of Death. The attack had exerted too much force, and the Eye of Death needed some time to cool down. With his current strength, it would take approximately ten minutes to recover. The Azure Water Empress was astonished by Zhang Nu's formidable power. She had never witnessed such a brutal, ruthless, plain yet unstoppable attack. This individual claiming to be the Lord of the Darkness City truly had unfathomable strength!

Shui Lan reminded, "Don't let your guard down. Morton the Formless can resurrect. His soul is incredibly powerful. As long as the soul is not completely annihilated, even a tiny residual fragment can regenerate."

In the blink of an eye, the myriad stardust resulting from the monster's explosive demise, numbering in the billions, coalesced into a nebula. Slowly, it began to rotate and condense, eventually forming a fearsome humanoid creature standing six meters tall, adorned with three heads and nine arms, exuding a terrifying aura. Compared to the amalgamation of flesh and crystal in its earlier grotesque form, this new appearance was noticeably more coordinated.

The fluctuations in Shui Lan's soul intensified. "This is bad. Not only did Morton survive, but he also utilized the attack to reconstruct his body. Things have just become even more difficult!"

Morton's current form lacked any flesh and blood. From head to toe, it was composed entirely of crystalline material. Yet, its presence, far from diminishing compared to before, had become even more potent.

"You actually wielded a trace of the divine source!" Morton the Formless emitted an angry psychic will. Clearly, he was astounded by the power of the Eye of Death, unable to comprehend how mere mortals could command the essence of divinity.

"However," he continued, "with this power alone, you cannot defeat me in a single strike! You should be unable to muster another attack like this, right? Moreover, thanks to your attack, I have been deconstructed and reformed, reshaping my body. My current state is more than twice as powerful as before!"

Morton's crystalline body radiated brilliance, and a powerful psychic consciousness enveloped the entire space.Vissit novelbin(.)c.om for updates

[You are under attack by the Power of Flames. HP -0!]

[You are under attack by the Power of Frost. HP -0!]

[You are under attack by the Power of Earth. HP -0!]

[You are under attack by the Power of Gale. HP -0!]

[......]

Although the power of elemental forces was more formidable, Morton still could not break through Zhang Nu's defenses. Zhang Nu's "Super Magic Immunity" was not just for show. With the improvement of his strength, the immunity effect also increased. Unless Morton used an elemental attack beyond S-rank, it was impossible to pose any threat. Compared to himself, Shui Lan was more of a concern. The legendary empress was currently quite vulnerable. If she accidentally perished here, the loss would be too significant.

Morton finally realized that the power of elemental forces might be ineffective against this enemy, so he decided to launch a more powerful attack!

"Stellar Descent!"

Stars lit up in all directions. Streams of starlight transformed into meteors, carrying with them daemonic flames and the power of the four elements, heading towards Zhang Nu's location. Each attack was of no less intensity than an A-rank magic. With hundreds of such attacks, if they all hit Zhang Nu in a short period, it would be enough to pose a certain level of threat and damage to him.

Morton was well aware that Zhang Nu could not continuously activate the Death Stare. Therefore, he prepared to quickly eliminate him to prevent the opponent from activating the divine source again. However, at this moment, the twinkling starlight, like a gust of wind sweeping through candlelight, extinguished one after another. The vast and magnificent space filled with shimmering stars was engulfed and drowned in endless darkness.

"What's going on?" Morton felt his soul imprisoned in a pitch-black place. At the same time, a figure approached. The mental manifestation of the Demon King took on a humanoid form---a person in casual sportswear, with black short hair and a handsome face, appearing quite ordinary.

He looked at the imprisoned descendant of the Evil God. His two eyes were peculiar, one emitting the power of death in red, and the other blue and white, radiating psychic power. At this moment, the Eye of Dominator was at work, ensuring that Morton was mentally trapped within Zhang Nu's consciousness. As Zhang Nu approached, a blood-red mist emanated from his body.

Morton was completely stunned. "You absorbed three divine sources? That's impossible!"

Zhang Nu replied, "Nothing is impossible. Do you have any last words?"

Morton the Formless, who had experienced countless battles and participated in the conquest of numerous realms and dimensions throughout his life, was now facing an unprecedented sense of fear and despair. "You can't kill me, or my brothers and our patriarch will surely seek revenge on you."

Zhang Nu shook his head. "I thought the descendants of Evil Gods would say something different. Turns out, it's just the same old cliché. Well then!"

As he spoke, the Corrupted Blood coalesced on his fingertips. Eventually, it gently touched a point on Morton's soul. In the next moment, the soul was corroded, and simultaneously, flames ignited. Morton let out a piercing scream. However, the process of soul corrosion and incineration did not last long. Soon, the entire soul turned into nothingness.

At the same time, Zhang Nu received a notification:

[You've slain "Envoy Leader of Myriad Stars: Morton the Formless". Gold +35 million!]

Success! The removal of the domain was successful due to the death of the leader. All the monsters in the trench calmed down.

Zhang Nu did not receive the conquest reward, indicating that the number of kills in this area was not sufficient to be judged as conquered. He immediately seized the time to join forces with Han Kexin to clear the remaining monsters. The harvest from this round was astonishing. Just the small monsters and mini-bosses killed by Zhang Nu numbered nearly a thousand. The combined income from these monsters and Morton the Formless was approximately 260 million gold!

When occupying the entire Chaos Forest and opening the exclusive treasure chest, Zhang Nu received a total of only 100 million gold. This time, the loot from killing monsters alone exceeded twice the Chaos Forest treasure chest rewards, and the rewards for occupying the Abyssal Trench had not been distributed yet.

Time was running out! The Azure Water Federation would soon discover the abnormality in the trench. Zhang Nu began to worry that he would not have enough time to complete the conquest of the area. Fortunately, with Han Kexin's assistance, the two joined forces, spending a day exterminating all the Star Envoys. Although they missed some magical creatures, they fulfilled the occupation conditions.

[You've conquered the Abyssal Trench!]

[You gained "Gorgeous Stardust Diamond Chest" x1 !]

Zhang Nu was overjoyed. He had received the area occupation reward! This meant that the operation had concluded perfectly!

At this moment, Han Kexin reminded him, "Large groups of troops are approaching!"

Zhang Nu nodded, "We can't stay here. Let's return to Darkness City first!"

He was unsure whether the Empress's current status still held the same influence over the Azure Water Federation as it did in the past. After all, it had been six thousand years, and the internal forces within the federation might have undergone significant changes. Moreover, the Azure Water Empress was currently just a soul, and her strength might not be strong enough to control the situation. Without adequate preparation, revealing the Empress's existence prematurely might not be a good idea.

Therefore, Zhang Nu avoided contact with people from the Azure Water Federation. He immediately used an expensive teleportation stone to return to Darkness City with Shui Lan and Han Kexin."
