The pitch-black fist of death, the embodiment of the concept of demise, descended from the heavens, bestowing upon the world the most equitable end.
Rising from the earth, Chen Luo’s crimson aura was but a faint flicker.
The contrast between the two was akin to the radiant moon against a firefly.
No one doubted the outcome of their collision. A man who had always presented himself as a mage attempting to meet an apocalyptic, meteor-like attack with his bare body was a laughable absurdity.
The cackling Lich stared intently at that minuscule firefly.
It wished to witness this man, in his despair, pulverized into dust by the descending fist!
At the vertical speed of their approach, in the instant before impact,
Time seemed to freeze!
Within his golden eyes lay a frigid calmness, like a frozen lake.
But at this moment, facing this world-shattering blow,
The frozen lake shattered!
Beneath Chen Luo’s seemingly serene heart,
A battle intent akin to a volcanic eruption surged forth!
His golden irises turned crimson, his fists raised, and he ferociously met the descending giant fist with a thunderous strike!!
At the moment of impact, the immense force compressed the air into rings of pure white shockwaves that exploded outwards.
But the Great Lich, observing the battle, had its eyes nearly bulge out of its sockets!
“No!! Impossible!!! You’re just a mage! How can you possibly withstand a Grand Forbidden Spell with your body?!”
His fists, encased in mithril gauntlets, pressed firmly against the descending hand of death.
Under the terrifying clash of powers, the giant fist actually stopped!
And Chen Luo appeared to be completely unharmed!
“An illusion! An illusion!! It’s all fake!! Die, damn you!!!”
Pitch-black blood seeped from the Great Lich’s eye sockets. Its mental energy, pushed to its limit, controlled the Underworld King’s left hand to press down fiercely.
Feeling the ever-deepening pressure from the giant fist, Chen Luo’s battle intent surged:
“Is this your full power?”
Within his crimson eyes, light flashed continuously. His silver fists were suddenly retracted to his sides:
“You want to kill me! This level of power is not enough to qualify!!!”
“Qi and Blood Martial Arts! Qi and Blood Transformation – Divine Fist! Hundred Strikes!!!”
From within his silver fists, crimson qi and blood radiance overflowed.
Chen Luo’s arms, at this moment, pulsed with the power of qi and blood.
In an instant!
A thousand punches!!
“Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora!!!”
Amidst his roaring shouts, hundreds of arms seemed to sprout from beneath Chen Luo’s shoulders.
These arms transformed into countless afterimages, ferociously striking the descending giant fist.
The pressure the Great Lich had conjured with its mental energy was actually pushed back by Chen Luo’s counterattack!
“Aaaaah!!!! Die!!!”
“I offer my eyes as sacrifice! Underworld King!! Bestow death upon this damned human!!!”
*Boom!!*
With a shattering sound, the Great Lich’s dark, sinister eyes exploded.
Accompanied by the Lich’s curse-laden words, the giant fist was suddenly illuminated by streaks of grayish-white flames.
Within these flames, countless burning souls wailed, cursing all living beings!
Any being that touched these grayish-white flames would be dragged into them, suffering eternal torment!
The flames erupted instantly, engulfing Chen Luo, who was striking with his fists, before he could even dodge.
His qi and blood, and the power of his mind, were constantly eroded by the grayish-white flames.
But Chen Luo seemed oblivious, continuing to ferociously strike the giant fist in the sky!
[You have received the Blasphemous Curse from the Great Lich!]
Feeling the dual burning sensation on his body and soul, despite the pain, Chen Luo’s fists struck faster and faster!!
Amidst the terrifying roar, the giant fist began to tremble.
The Great Lich, sensing the battlefield’s movements with its mental energy, could not comprehend the situation:
“My curse clearly took effect! Why are you still alive?!”
Its mental energy scanned towards Chen Luo’s direction. Even without sight, those with powerful mental energy had many ways to perceive all things.
Upon hearing the Great Lich’s exclamation, a golden dragon silhouette flashed through Chen Luo’s eyes:
“Cursing me? You insignificant worm!!”
The moment the Great Lich’s probing mental energy touched Chen Luo, the curse’s power truly began to inflict damage.
“Roar!!!”
A majestic dragon’s roar echoed within the Great Lich’s soul.
In a daze, the sightless Great Lich seemed to see a true dragon of profound darkness cast a fleeting glance at it from an unknown place.
*Pfft!!*
From its already shattered eye sockets, a large amount of black, foul blood spurted out.
Its immensely powerful mental energy, operating far beyond its limits, seemed to have suffered a heavy blow and weakened.
And the grayish-white flames enveloping the giant fist vanished in an instant.

True Dragon’s Majesty: All curse-type skills, when attempting to harm you, have a very high probability of suffering a true dragon’s backlash!
Suffering the true dragon’s backlash, the Great Lich’s aura suddenly weakened.
Chen Luo, who was furiously striking the giant fist, his eyes suddenly brightened:
“The opportune moment!”
He retracted his right fist, and terrifying qi and blood power surged from his entire body. The immense power caused the mithril gauntlet to faintly emit a bright glow!
Crimson radiance flared on Chen Luo’s fist.
As his momentum reached its peak,
“Break!!!”
Chen Luo’s right fist transformed into a meteor, streaking back towards the heavens!!!
*Boom!!!*
Great sound becomes silence!
The air was instantly displaced, and sound seemed to vanish.
But Chen Luo’s crimson fist directly impacted the colossal fist of death!
The Great Lich, having managed to suppress its turbulent mental sea, extended its senses again and perceived the state of the battlefield.
*Crack…*
A crisp sound…
Cracks rapidly spread across the silver gauntlet. In an instant, the gauntlet, compressed and condensed from countless hands of silver, dissolved into scattered starlight.
An unbelievable sense of surprise welled up in the Great Lich’s heart.
But it rejoiced too soon!
As the gauntlet completely shattered, amidst the pale blue starlight, a crimson fist flashed with incomparably dazzling crimson light.
Chen Luo’s battle intent surged to its absolute peak!
“This battle!”
*Crack!!!*
A crimson crack, originating from the point of impact of Chen Luo’s fist, began to spread rapidly across the giant fist of death.
Crimson qi and blood light erupted from the fissures!
“Ends with this!!!”
With a roar, Chen Luo transformed into a meteor streaking back towards the heavens, piercing through the colossal fist that spanned ten thousand meters.
The pierced giant fist, accompanied by the exploding qi and blood light, disintegrated into countless fragments.
Before the malevolent aura on these fragments could spread, they were completely vaporized by the most potent and yang qi and blood power.
The Great Lich, sensing the rapidly approaching danger and the complete collapse of its ultimate technique, could not help but exclaim:
“Don’t come any closer!!!”
“Fixed Time! Hundredfold!”
Its mental energy in its mental sea was completely emptied, replaced by an unprecedented acceleration of time.
The Great Lich, with all its might, only sought to distance itself from Chen Luo.
But! The meteor streaking back towards the heavens was even faster!
“Hundredfold?! Too slow!!!”
“Die!!!”
*Pfft!*
The crimson silhouette instantly pierced through the barrier of time, passing directly through the Great Lich’s body!
The Great Lich lowered its head. In the center of its body, clad in a tattered robe, a massive hole had been created.
And at the edges of the hole, a potent and yang qi and blood power was continuously melting this monster!
Its aura steadily declined, and eternal death was imminent.
Yet, the undead being could not accept this fate.
Its eyeless sockets, weeping black blood, glared fiercely at Chen Luo, who stood in the sky. A venomous, resentful voice emanated from its mouth:
“I curse you! I curse your race!!”
“You think defeating me is the end? No! The end is for you humans!! We will not allow any new races to join!”
“Whether as slaves or as playthings, your fate has long been sealed!!!”
“Hahaha!! I will wait for you!! In that eternal silence!! I await your arrival!!!”
“I will watch you! Watch you writhe and struggle!! Your pathetic, helpless state!!!”
*Boom!*
Chen Luo’s crimson fist completely shattered the head of the still-ranting monster. Chen Luo calmly watched the thoroughly deceased monster:
“Stop adding drama, just accept your fate.”
“Truth lies only beneath the fist. Either I beat you to death, or you beat me to death. I accept this game.”
In the glow of qi and blood, the Great Lich’s body turned to ash…
Above the sky, the black aura that enveloped the entire East Sea City slowly dissipated, and the invisible system barrier also vanished.
