Dragon Tribulation of All Realms

Chapter 220 Soul Reaper

At the edge of this land stand three towers, each guarded by a guardian. Their existence maintains a seal located at the central palace, and unfortunately, the other two fragments of the Soul-Cutting Gem that Wu Chen possessed were placed within those guardian towers by the order of this annihilation realm.

'Boom—' Explosion.

One of the tower's guardians was reduced to dust by the spell of the sorcerer—he had to admit that under normal circumstances, he was no match for these warriors, who were undoubtedly among the highest ranks. If he had encountered them in Nirn, he would probably have only needed to take one arrow before he would have had to find a safe place to cast spells to recover.

It's a pity this is Earth.

And now, he possesses abundant divine power and is no longer bound by the disgusting divine resistance of the Ramaya bloodline. Therefore—

"That dragon must be plotting something." Wu Chen fused with the second Soul Gem and extracted a dark soul stone from the remnants of the Guardian. A powerful soul had already been successfully filled into it.

A suitable trophy.

Above Wu Chen's head, the crown of worm-like putrefaction trembled slightly—a kind of impatient hunger overflowed from it, and Wu Chen filled it with the black soul stone without hesitation.

He still remembered the superior spell attached to the crown—the magic called 'Soul Explosion,' which clearly had a special effect on souls. After all, the Worm King was the strongest necromancer, and his most effective targets were obviously creatures or inanimate objects in the same domain as him.

"It's waiting for me to go out."

Wu Chen pressed his crown, adjusting to the flow of divine energy within his soul. The exclusive magic he desired was gradually taking shape as he progressed, and perhaps it wouldn't be long before it took effect.

He moved forward, successfully taking the next step. As time and space shifted, he continued to express his inner thoughts and judgments.

He hadn't talked to himself in a long time.

He was serious and focused on every word he spoke, both in Nirn and in the Kingdom of Heaven. Because he knew what it meant to make a mistake that could lead to disaster.

However, now he has no choice but to say as much as possible in order to make his existence more in line with the mundane.

The backlash has already begun.

The backlash continued to build, tearing at his heart and head.

He heard countless faint whispers, most of them filled with despair and terror. They came from countless people facing death. Because death is so terrifying.

'Get out! Get out! You incomprehensible wretch!'

'I won't die...no, I still have so much to do, I won't die here!'

'Mom...I saw a huge, black spider...'

They whispered.

They chanted.

They come together as one, playing in unison.

They brought immense power to Wu Chen, but they also gradually permeated the limbs and bones of his soul.

"I am becoming someone else." Wu Chen stepped onto the second guardian tower. A massive army of undead guardians had already gathered there. The moment he appeared, spells and arrows rained down like a storm.

"So I must hurry; I cannot stay on this land for too long."

The countdown is still not working.

However, the total countdown timer is changing – the duration of over 300 seconds is rapidly decreasing to just over 300, and it may not be long before it drops to around 200.

Take a deep breath.

Wu Chen stretched out his hand, and a massive barrier of divine energy instantly blocked all the attacks. He moved forward, and a wish-like effect transported him directly behind the Guardian Army's defensive line. The next moment, another vast expanse of light and fire suddenly blazed forth.

Destruction is everywhere.

Holy light and flames tore the army apart and destroyed it into large shards of burning bones. Wu Chen then reached out and pulled a section of bones that appeared to belong to an animal from the fire, absorbing it and placing it in his palm.

He grasped it, brought it to his lips, and took a big bite. By mimicking the act of eating, the whispers in his ear dissipated considerably.

"not the right time yet."

Continuing forward, the form of the second guardian came into view. Like the first, its body was a dark flame in the shape of a human, encased in armor made of a material and shaped like dragon bones.

It gripped a dragonbone greatsword in its hand—and strode towards Wu Chen. Its steps were like a devastating storm, and in an instant, it was upon Wu Chen. The greatsword slashed down.

This sword strike can easily cleave through even mountains.

However, at this moment, Wu Chen did not even need to move an extra step to the outside.

He only needed to raise his hand, to channel the overflowing divine energy around him in a prayerful manner, and to envelop his raised hand.

Then--

'flutter--'

His hand grasped the greatsword.

The immense kinetic energy and the light energy contained within the blade vanished into nothingness when it struck the palm.

“Its strength is about 24,000 tons.” Wu Chen caught the sword and raised his other hand. “And now, this sword is mine.”

The small, jet-black orbs then coalesced, and three Destruction Orbs were generated in quick succession, striking the Guardian's chest and abdomen. The dragon-bone-shaped spirit armor remained intact despite the spell's bombardment. However, the Guardian's body was forcefully propelled backward.

Its weapon was thus removed from its hand.

As the giant sword made of dragon bones dissipated, it was filled with a large amount of Wu Chen's willpower.

Thus it was stripped away, transformed, and plundered. From a part of the guardian, it was transformed into something that the witch could control and manipulate.

A greatsword made of spirit dragon bone.

It can be applied to the upcoming battlefield.

The guardian, knocked back and disarmed, let out an angry battle cry. However, at this moment, it was of no use.

Wu Chen took a step forward.

His power is still increasing, and his level may already be approaching level one hundred. And this means—

“It only takes one step.”

With a 'whoosh,' the spirit-material dragon bone greatsword pierced through the spirit-material dragon bone protection. And in the next moment, intense light and fire burst forth from the tip of the sword.

"BOOM!!!!"

The Big Bang occurred.

The second tower guardian was reduced to disintegrating magical dust. Apart from a fully charged, jet-black soul stone, only the stripped-off spiritual dragon bone sword remained.

The battle thus came to an end.

The moment the battle ended, the radiance of the second guardian tower vanished. Countless tiny specks of light scattered in all directions, and the most dazzling one fell from Wu Chen's palm.

The third Soul-Cutting Gem is now complete.

Wu Chen's body and soul were thus restored to wholeness. He knew that he had reached level one hundred in the worldview of the Undead King. And something immense lowered its gaze upon him.

The threshold has been reached.

A slight sense of rejection appeared around my body.

With a simple push, one can easily return to the mortal world. An incomparably powerful dragon awaits on the other side.

But if they linger and refuse to leave...

‘Rumble—’

Above the dark sky, the receding lightning converged into a terrifying form. It was clad in black robes and wielded a giant scythe. Vast death surrounded it.

Those are the Reapers. The maintainers of the Soul Tomb, and the executioners.

It is eager to make a gain.
