Chapter 572 - Death Proxy (Part 1)

The Space Demon God was sealed by Squirrel God for illegally constructing space secret realms. For those who only created three or five space secret realms, Squirrel God turned a blind eye. However, this guy had opened up over a hundred thousand space secret realms. If it continued, Stellar Moon World would have collapsed sooner or later.

Even though it no longer possessed the Space Dragon’s power at that time, Squirrel God still tried every means to seal it.

Unfortunately, Squirrel God was too weak, so the Space Demon God eventually broke the seal and left. And now, much of Squirrel God’s assets had been invested into the last sealing, leaving it powerless. Facing the Space Demon God’s renewed assault, it had no recourse.

Squirrel God stood on Lu Ran’s shoulder, hugging his neck, while Lu Ran floated within this alternate space, quietly watching the terrifying form of the Space Demon God manifest.

This was a tall creature with dark golden fur all over its body. It was a mole-type creature. It glared viciously at Squirrel God with its red eyes.

Squirrel God said seriously, “I advise you to know your limits and not make any mistakes again. Since you’re already out of prison, start anew. Your current actions constitute an assault on a Stellar Moon public official! Not only will the Four Supreme Divine Dragons not forgive you, but you also cannot seal me! I’m now working under Captain Lu!”

The Space Demon God spat, “What Four Supreme Divine Dragons? The Four Divine Dragons have long been dead. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have come to seal me yourself. If the Four Divine Dragons were still here, would you need to follow this little human kid?

“I know him. I paid attention to his fight with the Chaos Dragon God’s lackey before. He's just a guy living off the Six-Path Reincarnation God and the Flower God’s messenger!”

As a Superior Legendary, the Space Demon God had the confidence.

Lu Ran frowned and said, “Enough. If you want revenge on Squirrel God, go ahead, but don’t slander me. Blocking my travels is one thing, but take one more step, and this matter won’t be so easily resolved. I’ll give you two choices. One, leave now, or two, get sealed again for a few million years.

After Lu Ran finished speaking, the Space Demon God asked disdainfully, “Who do you think you are?”

As soon as its words fell, massive summoning arrays appeared on both sides of Lu Ran. The Superior Legendary Six-Path Flower slowly emerged, surrounded by a mist of fate.

On the other side, Baby Cloud, who had just become a Superior Legendary, appeared like the incarnation of the world’s elemental rules. It manifested in the form of a Nine-Tailed Cloud Cat with a terrifying aura, like the embodiment of a catastrophe.

It looked at Baby Cloud, unsure where this little thing came from. The Space Demon God’s eyes widened.

Huh? Two superior Legendaries?

“Now, who do you think I am?” Lu Ran looked at the Space Demon God.

“Just two Superior Legendaries. I said, even if the Four Divine Dragons came today, that squirrel must stay!”

The Space Demon God was still being reckless, its body growing twice as large again as it looked down contemptuously at Six-Path Flower and Baby Cloud.

Six-Path Flower showed no change in expression, but Baby Cloud was overjoyed. Just after breaking through, an enemy delivered itself to its doorstep. It was a pity that #18 wasn’t here to broadcast its magnificent posture to outsiders.

Boom!

The Space Demon God attacked. Its move was spatial collapse. The destructive power was more terrifying and impactful than spatial cracks or void turbulence. An intangible void palm also tried to slap amidst the collapsing space, aiming to smash the enemies.

“Mommy!” Squirrel God was startled.

Within the collapsing space, Lu Ran curled his lip, only feeling that Squirrel God was a burden. Without Squirrel God, he could have teleported directly into Limitless City. Limitless City could even manifest the Space Dragon, whose spatial attainments were naturally beyond the Space Demon God’s.

His teleportation authority was supreme, which allowed him to evade all spatial skills. However, to protect Squirrel God, Lu Ran had no choice but to confront the attack head-on. Instantly, Six-Path Flower created a Wood Asura, protecting Lu Ran and Squirrel God inside the Asura. It was equivalent to putting them in steel armor inside a collapsing building to avoid being hit by debris.

Then, Baby Cloud’s whole body emitted multicolored light. Like a bomb, it erupted with terrifying elemental fluctuations. It was like detonating a controlled bomb within the collapsing building, intending to blast all the falling structures into nothingness.

With Six-Path Flower and Baby Cloud cooperating, the collapsing space fragments were all shattered by Baby Cloud’s more powerful elemental bomb. The entire alternate space shook, filled with light pollution.

“Don’t celebrate too early!”

The Space Demon God had only used a basic attack. Being blocked didn’t faze it. It bared its teeth, intending to use an even more terrifying skill. As a Superior Legendary, the combat fluctuations, while not world-shattering like a Primary Divine’s battle, were still quite fearsome.

Inside the Wood Asura, Squirrel God hurriedly said, “Lu, Lu... is there a way to finish it instantly? Don’t engage in a big battle with it! It might cause world tremors, and beasts like the Evil God might break their seals early!”

After Squirrel God finished, it realised Lu Ran was no longer in the Asura’s cockpit but was standing on top of the Asura with Six-Path Flower.

“How dare you disturb my cultivation?” Six-Path Flower was annoyed, displeased with the Space Demon God.

The Space Demon God, who was about to attack again, stiffened, sweating as it was controlled by Six-Path Flower’s aura for an instant.

For a non-combat specialized Superior Legendary like Six-Path Flower, the aura fused from its Celestial Path and Tyrant might be the only thing that could suppress peers to some extent. In terms of spatial attainments, while not poor, it was certainly inferior to the Space Demon God.

Six-Path Flower’s control was key. Lu Ran lacked other things but had numbers. Baby Cloud seized this opportunity, its nine tails agitatedly rising. Each tail condensed light, sweeping out a nine-colored beam of light.

The light beam was condensed and compressed to the extreme, possessing extremely strong penetration power. In an instant, it pierced through the Space Demon God’s chest and head like a laser.

The next moment, the Space Demon God let out a painful cry. “

AHHHH!

”

The pierced parts cracked like fragments. However, the intense pain also allowed the Space Demon God to gradually regain control of its body under the pressure.

It turned its shattered head, still fierce. “I won’t let you off!”

Even facing two against one, the Space Demon God wasn’t afraid at all. Although it was tricked, it could also see that Lu Ran’s attacks were very restrained, afraid of damaging Stellar Moon World. However, the Space Demon God had no fear. If the Stellar Moon World was damaged, so be it. It could just go to other planets or survive in the void.

“Is that so?”

However, the next moment, the Space Demon God’s heartbeat suddenly accelerated, feeling a soul tremor. Lu Ran was suddenly holding a stone filled with death aura.

Empowered by the stone, two terrifying, otherworldly figures emerged on either side of the Space Demon God.

One radiated mystery and majesty, standing tall like a mountain. Its body was massive and muscular, every line of muscle brimming with endless strength. Its skin was a deep reddish-brown, like ancient rock weathered by time.

The other wore a black robe, like a wisp of shadow drawn from the night itself. Dark and unfathomable, it was slender and tall, like a pine swaying in a twisted space. The robe clung tightly, merging with the darkness, its true features concealed.

Both figures existed in spiritual form. The first stood bare-chested, resembling a dragonman beast. Its forehead was broad, and from the corners of its eyes, a pair of jagged dragon horns jutted backward like heavy shields. On its back, enormous black dragon wings unfurled, their membranes etched with fine soul-scales.

The black-robed figure, though its face was hidden by a heavy hood, betrayed itself through fingertips glowing with faint black light. At its cuffs, a few jet-black feathers slipped free, and from beneath the hood, the suggestion of a chilling smile curved at the corners of a crow-like beak. Its form was that of a crowman.

It was a dragonman and a crowman! If that were all, it wouldn’t be much. However, what shocked the Space Demon God was that these two Undead-like creatures both had soul auras of Superior Legendaries, no weaker than Six-Path Flower and the elemental sprite over there.

This was hard for the Space Demon God to understand. Six-Path Flower was one thing, as it was a powerhouse among plant species. Although it didn’t recognize that elemental sprite, considering the ancientness of elemental life, the appearance of one Superior Legendary was acceptable. However, since when were Superior Legendaries so common? Now there were two more that it didn’t recognize.

The next moment, these two eerie creatures actually dug into its body one after another, beginning to compete with its soul for ownership of this body, seemingly trying to possess it!

In this relatively intact state, facing one Undead Superior Legendary, the Space Demon God wouldn’t be successfully possessed, as body and soul had compatibility. But now it faced two Undead Superior Legendaries.

Moreover, these two Superior Legendaries seemed not to care about the damage to their souls from body incompatibility, showing a resolution to perish together with it. The Space Demon God was scared. It hadn’t been this afraid even facing Six-Path Flower and the elemental sprite.

“Just who are you?” The Space Demon God shouted in panic, realizing it had underestimated this human.

Lu Ran’s calm voice transmitted. “The Divine Dragons’ messenger, death proxy, and the second-generation God of the Other Shore. I gave you a chance. It’s a pity you didn’t cherish it.”

Clearly, Lu Ran had used the top-tier Legendary artifact bestowed by the Death Dragon’s authority, the Stone of the Other Shore. As for the two eerie creatures just now, they were both Lu Ran’s soul clones.

During the month Baby Cloud spent digesting the elemental god, Lu Ran wasn’t idle either. He was researching the exclusive soul evolutions for Sudden Death King and Dark Crow. Since Captain Doofus could become so strong through soul evolution, Sudden Death King and Dark Crow certainly could too.

Lu Ran had once acquired Sudden Death King’s physique and Dark Crow’s soul eye power through Super Beast Mimicry, which saved him a lot of effort when creating soul clones with dragon and crow characteristics.

Currently, although they couldn’t yet make Sudden Death King and Dark Crow evolve like Captain Doofus, they did have another use. It was becoming enhancement targets for the Stone of the Other Shore. Although they would die after a period, recreating a soul clone wasn’t too strenuous for Lu Ran.

“The Stone of the Other Shore consumes a lot of soul power. If not for my astonishing physique, I probably wouldn’t even be able to enhance one Superior Legendary. I need to find ways to continue improving my own soul power.”

After using the Stone of the Other Shore this time, Lu Ran analyzed the situation. The most useful attribute for him now was probably soul power intensity.

The Space Demon God went mad. Inside its body, two Undead Superior Legendaries were competing with its soul for control of the body. The Space Demon God’s physical body also unconsciously ran wild.

Moreover, it was bound by layers of Six-Path Flower’s vines and frozen by Baby Cloud’s freezing power, making it difficult to break free without autonomous consciousness. One Superior Legendary was fearsome, but facing four simultaneously left it stretched thin.
