“Three Kowtows of the Corpse Deity!” When Shi Tianyou’s hoarse voice echoed out, the entire region had turned dark with buzzing noises covering the sky that made others feel fearful.

Mu Chen’s gaze had also turned grave with dense fear rising in his heart. He could feel the aura of death from this attack of Shi Tianyou.

If he couldn’t face it properly, he might die here.

“The Fiend Clans are truly unfathomably weird.” Mu Chen took a deep breath before both of his hands joined together and the massive purplish-golden lustre gathered on the Immortal Golden Body with ancient runes starting to appear.

Those divine runes had separated from the Immortal Golden Body’s body, acting like purplish-golden dragons that revolved around the Immortal Golden Body, emanating immortality.

All of the gazes that were sent towards the heavens and earth were directed to the altar. They were clear that the result of this confrontation would determine the entire battlefield.

Shi Tianyou’s white eyes sinisterly looked at Mu Chen before a brutal smile rose on his lips, then he knelt in the direction of Mu Chen.

“Three Kowtows of the Corpse Deity - First Kowtow, Ripping Life!” While Shi Tianyou was kneeling, the giant behind him had also lowered its head in the direction of Mu Chen.

In that instant when it lowered its head, an indescribable deathly aura shot out like a storm. In the path of the deathly aura, all life force was being overbearingly drained.

It was so much so that even the heavens and earth had turned dark-grey, it was no longer lively, but looked deadly.

Whether it was the experts from the Great Thousand World or the Fiend Clans, they started to retreat when they saw the spreading deathly aura with fear swelled in their eyes.

Some that fled late were affected by the deathly aura. They didn’t even have the time to scream before their bodies were instantly turned into skeletons.

Qing Shuang and Qing Ling swiftly retreated with horror in their eyes. They never expected that Shi Tianyou’s attack would be so terrifying. Such an attack could already be comparable to a genuine Peerless Divine Ability of the Great Thousand World!

When they looked at Mu Chen, their eyes flashed with a flicker of worry. They were already in such a state from the deathly aura, so they could only imagine how much pressure Mu Chen was bearing.

“Mu Chen, you must do it!” At this moment, they could only pray in their hearts.

As everyone retreated, the deathly aura had practically appeared before Mu Chen in an instant. Under the envelopment of the deathly aura, Mu Chen’s skin had swiftly turned ash-grey, his flesh was starting to dry up and the life force in his body was being rapidly exhausted.

No matter how he tried to protect himself with Spiritual Energy, he couldn’t resist the invasion of the deathly aura.

Mu Chen’s face turned grave. According to this speed, it would only take a few minutes before all of his life force was drained. Shi Tianyou’s attack was actually so overbearing!

At such a crucial moment, Mu Chen took a deep breath and lights flickered in his eyes as he roared into the sky. The Immortal Golden Body beneath his feet burst out with myriad foot wide purplish-golden lustre.

“Your Corpse Deity can rip life, but I have the protection of immortality!” Divine Immortal Runes started to whistle over and enveloped Mu Chen. Looking from afar, it had actually formed into a purplish-golden cocoon that protected Mu Chen from within.

‘Even if the world comes to an end, I am immortal! So how are you going to seize the life force of an immortal?’

Ash-grey deathly aura constantly swept at the purplish-golden cocoon, but the cocoon stood firmly like a boulder.

“He actually managed to block it!” When the Fiend Clans saw this scene, they exclaimed out. They clearly knew how powerful this move was. Any expert beneath Monarch being kowtowed by the Corpse Deity would have their life force instantly ripped and turned into a corpse.

Even only death would await them if they were the ones being kowtowed!

But Mu Chen actually resisted that kowtow, making them feel disbelief. When their faces changed, Shi Tianyou’s had also squinted his eyes, since this situation had also exceeded his expectations. He initially thought that one kowtow would be needed to end the battle.

But Mu Chen’s tenacity had exceeded his expectations!

“What a troublesome fellow, but you have to die today!” A cold light gathered in Shi Tianyou’s eyes and his body started to turn white with all the life force in his body pouring into the terrifying corpse aura.

“Second Kowtow, Soul Devour!” Shi Tianyou raised his head and gave another kowtow in Mu Chen’s direction.

The giant behind him had also kowtowed, and in the next instance, a few feet of greyish light burst out from the giant’s eyes that pierced through space and appeared before Mu Chen in the next instant.

Mu Chen was already prepared for it. The Divine Immortal Runes burst out before they combined and formed into a stout defense that stood before that grey beam.

Although that beam did not cause any commotion, Mu Chen could sense a much denser deathly aura from it. He didn’t doubt that if that beam came in contact with him, his life would be instantly claimed.

But this time, the Divine Immortal Runes had instantly crumbled when they touched the grey beam; his powerful defense couldn’t even last an instant!

Mu Chen’s silhouette burst in retreat with the endless Divine Immortal Runes forming as they flew towards the grey beam, trying to exhaust it as much as possible.

But facing Mu Chen’s obstruction, that grey beam wasn’t even exhausted the slightest bit!

“Soaring Flame Array!” The Spiritual Array that he had already prepared was instantly triggered and a colossal flaming giant appeared. But when its punch came in contact with that grey beam, it had immediately crumbled.

When the experts of the Great Thousand World saw how Mu Chen’s move couldn’t block that grey beam, all of their faces changed.

“Mu Chen!” Qing Shuang and Qing Ling couldn’t help clenching their fists with their faces turning pale.

Mu Chen’s silhouette steadily retreated, with the grey beam speeding up, causing his hair to stand on its end with a feeling of death enveloping his heart.

It’s no longer possible for him to retreat anymore!

Mu Chen’s gaze flickered, and in the next moment, he let out a holler, “Divine Pagoda!”

Divine lustre burst out from his eyes and a crystallised pagoda flew out.

Biting his tongue, a mouthful of blood essence flew out and sprayed onto the Divine Pagoda. After a few mouthfuls of blood, Mu Chen’s face turned pale. It was great exhaustion of his life force.

But at this moment, he couldn’t be bothered about that, since he could sense that the bizarre energy could instantly erase his consciousness. If he came in contact with it, his consciousness would be instantly erased. Although he wouldn’t be injured, he would only exist akin to a puppet.

On the other hand, the Divine Pagoda’s sealing ability could calm down his consciousness, so he could only rely on it at this moment!

When Mu Chen’s blood essence sprayed onto the Divine Pagoda, an endless radiance burst out and a divine fluctuation soared into the sky before the Divine Pagoda flew out and clashed with that grey beam.

In that instant of contact, a crisp sound rang out, but this time, the grey beam that couldn’t be obstructed was finally stopped, and after a brief clash, the grey beam shattered.

The Divine Pagoda looked as if it had suffered a heavy impact before it flew back into Mu Chen’s eyes. Blood started to drip down from the corner of his eyes, looking extremely terrifying.

“He received it...” The commander of the Flame Demon Clan gulped down a mouthful of saliva as he looked at Mu Chen with traces of fear in his eyes.

The Three Kowtows of the Corpse Deity, the First Kowtow, Ripping Life and the Second Kowtow, Soul Devouring. They’ve never heard anyone beneath the realm of Monarch surviving from those two kowtows.

But it had happened before their eyes!

Mu Chen slowly wiped the blood off the corner of his eyes. His face had never turned so grave. Through the life and death battles that he had experienced, he had never felt so close to death.

The Three Kowtows of the Corpse Deity was too terrifying and powerful!

“That can absolutely be comparable to the genuine Peerless Divine Abilities of the Great Thousand World!” Mu Chen took a deep breath. Although he also possessed the Three Pures, which was one of the 36 Peerless Divine Abilities, his clones were currently busy dealing with the Monarch’s corpse and couldn’t grant him any help at this moment.

Shi Tianyou’s pale face stared at Mu Chen with his face twitching before he spoke out in a hoarse voice, “Ever since I’ve cultivated the Corpse Deity Skill, there has never been anyone that managed to receive two kowtows from me!”

“There is now.” Mu Chen said as he spat a mouthful of blood from his mouth.

Taking a deep glance at Mu Chen, Shi Tianyou looked like a set of bones and his eyes had turned extremely unusual.

“So, to express my respect for you as an opponent, I will let you die by my third kowtow.” When Shi Tianyou’s cold voice rang out, the experts of the Great Thousand World trembled. Mu Chen had just barely been able to resist the two kowtows, and there’s even a more terrifying third kowtow?! How was Mu Chen going to receive it?!

If Mu Chen failed, wouldn’t that mean that no one here possessed the ability to stop Shi Tianyou from destroying the altar?

Because of this, Mo Xin and Xuan Luo had turned silent after witnessing the two kowtows.

However, Shi Tianyou did not pay attention to them. His gaze was only gathered on Mu Chen. After that, all the remnant flesh in his body melted and had dissolved into life force before pouring into the Corpse Deity behind him.

At this moment, Shi Tianyou looked exactly like a skeleton without any flesh. He cast a glance at Mu Chen from afar before he closed his eyes and lowered his head to perform another kowtow!

A deep voice echoed out in this region that made people feel their scalps turning numb, “Third Kowtow of the Corpse Deity, Total Annihilation!”
