Chapter 6: We Are All Living with All Our Might
Under Lin Xuan's command, the Shikigami Giant Serpent took advantage of the momentary gap created by Mahoraga's frontal assault, suddenly darting out from an unexpected angle.
Its body, dozens of meters long, coiled flexibly, and its gaping maw, reeking of blood, fiercely bit into the relatively vulnerable waist and abdomen of the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger!
"Pfft!"
Teeth sank into flesh, blood splattering!
The Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger let out a painful roar, and a burst of wild evil energy erupted, attempting to shake off the sudden attacker.
However, the Giant Serpent immediately let go of its mouth and re-entered the shadows.
Mahoraga naturally wouldn't miss such an opportunity.
Waving its arm, the Demon-Slaying Sword and heavy fists and feet rained down like a storm, adding new wounds to the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger.
The Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger had to deal with Mahoraga, who grew stronger with each battle and whose attacks became increasingly difficult to counter head-on.
It also had to divide its attention to fight the Giant Serpent, who occasionally launched sneak attacks from the shadows, making it appear somewhat disheveled and roaring repeatedly.
"Roar—!!!"
The continuous injuries and restraints pushed the ferocious beast's rage to its peak.
The evil energy around its body surged skyward like a volcanic eruption, clearly preparing to unleash a devastating area-of-effect attack at all costs to finish off Mahoraga in one go.
However, just as it was charging up.
"Moo—!!!"
From the other side, a dull, thunderous Cow moo echoed from deep within the forest!
Immediately after, the ground trembled violently, as if thousands of soldiers and horses were galloping!
In the distance, rows of giant trees that required several people to encircle them were continuously breaking and collapsing, as if struck head-on by invisible battering rams, with dust soaring into the sky!
A colossal figure, black as an iron tower with curved giant horns on its head, smashed through all obstacles, charging straight towards the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger with a terrifying momentum as if to pierce through the earth!
Shikigami — Piercing Ox!
Facing this sudden impact from the 'third party,' the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger, already in pain and enraged with diminished judgment, flashed with intense ferocity in its vicious eyes.
In its opinion, this black ox, apart from its fierce charging momentum, did not seem as troublesome as the pale monster.
"Roar!"
It actually temporarily abandoned its charged ultimate move, and a giant claw, wreathed in the power of wind and thunder, struck fiercely towards the Piercing Ox that had charged before its eyes, with the might to shatter mountains!
Watching this scene, Lin Xuan couldn't help but show a pained expression.
This is probably going to hurt quite a bit.
The next second—
"Boom!!!!"
The Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's confidently launched giant claw, upon contact with the Piercing Ox's single horn, saw the wild evil power and Soul Power defense condensed on its claw silently melt away like ice and snow under the sun!
Immediately after, an extreme, pure immense force it had never experienced before, transmitted through its palm, instantly crushed its claw bones, and then slammed violently into its chest and abdomen!
"Crack-crackle!!"
A dense, bone-chilling sound of bones shattering rang out.
"Bang!!!"
The massive body of the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger was struck head-on as if by an extraterrestrial meteorite, flying backward off the ground like a kite with a broken string!
Blood mixed with fragments of internal organs spurted from its mouth, drawing a tragic arc in the air.
It crashed heavily onto the ground hundreds of meters away, then rolled more than a dozen times, collapsing countless shrubs and small trees, before barely coming to a stop.
Its chest was visibly caved in a large section, its aura instantly withered by more than half, leaving only painful wails and struggles.
However, the Piercing Ox, which caused all this, showed no sign of stopping, charging directly into the distant shadows and disappearing.
"Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger? I didn't know, I thought it was a speed bump."
"Can't stop it."
"We are all living with all our might."
"I'm trying so hard, how are you still alive?"
"I... I'll go..."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was completely dumbfounded.
"This, this black ox... is also so heaven-defying?! Are all your Shikigami so unreasonable?!"
"Heh, this is just the beginning?"
Lin Xuan chuckled softly. The Ten Shadows Technique can basically be categorized with the Limitless Cursed Technique as a type of cursed technique.
[Mechanism-based].
Among them, Mahoraga and Piercing Ox, for example, one can theoretically adapt to everything, while the other, although only capable of linear movement, its power can continuously increase with acceleration distance, theoretically without limit.
In other words, as long as Piercing Ox runs a few laps around Douluo Star, its final power could directly kill a god.
Purely two conceptual gods.
Mahoraga wouldn't care if its opponent was heavily wounded and collapsed. Its Dharma Wheel still rotated steadily, and it silently strode forward, preparing to deliver the final blow.
"Roar—!!!"
The heavily wounded, dying Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's blood-red eyes flashed with madness.
It struggled to raise its head, and the six attributes of evil, lightning, wind, space, time, and darkness were recklessly and frantically compressed and condensed!
Especially the violent lightning attribute power, which was stimulated to an unprecedented extreme.
It transformed into an extremely unstable, dark lightning ball emitting destructive aura in its mouth!
"Roar!!!"
Accompanied by an earth-shattering tiger roar, the dark lightning ball transformed into a beam of destruction, ignoring spatial distance, and instantly blasted onto the approaching Mahoraga!
"Sizzle—"
"Boom!!!"
The dark lightning completely engulfed Mahoraga's pale figure!
Mahoraga's body, which had adapted to cutting and wind attribute attacks, showed signs of collapse for the first time under this never-before-encountered lightning strike, which carried various attributes!
Large areas of its pale body vaporized and dissipated in the lightning, the rotation of its Dharma Wheel even stagnated, and its entire figure flickered, as if it would be completely annihilated at any moment!
Now is the time!
Lin Xuan, who had been waiting for the opportune moment in the distant shadows, had a surge of brilliance in his eyes!
He quickly formed hand seals again!
"Shikigami · Tu Tu — Hundred Rabbits Rush!"
"Swish, swish, swish—!"
The shadows beneath his feet opened like a portal to another dimension, and hundreds of thousands of fluffy, snow-white rabbits with ruby-like eyes poured out like a tide!
These rabbits were not large, but their speed was astonishing. Even more striking was that many of these Tu Tu had a bulging, square package tightly wrapped in waterproof oilcloth firmly strapped to their backs!
Those were simple explosives Lin Xuan had prepared in advance using his chemistry knowledge from his previous life.
As the saying goes, one part saltpeter, two parts sulfur, three parts charcoal, add some sugar, and you have a Tsar Bomba.
Without spirit tool technology, he could only rely on the power of science and technology.
Although the technique was crude, there was no shortage of quantity.
Hundreds of thousands of Tu Tu carrying explosive packs, like a white wave of death, surged towards the area where the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger and Mahoraga were located at an astonishing speed!
They were fearless, executing their sole command.
Advance! Advance! Advance by any means necessary!
At the same time, Lin Xuan took a deep breath, and the dark cursed markings belonging to Sukuna reappeared and spread across his face.
Below his eyes, a second pair of eyes slowly opened! Blood-red and chillingly sinister!
Martial Soul —Malevolent Shrine!
"Open!"
Cold words were uttered. Blood-red flames, hot enough to distort the air, spontaneously ignited around Lin Xuan's body without warning, as if cloaking him in a fiery battle robe.
He waved and twisted his hands, condensing a longbow made entirely of refined flames!
He held the bow in his left hand, and with a pull of his right hand in the empty air, an arrow, condensed entirely from extremely compressed crimson flames, was already nocked onto the fiery bowstring.
The arrowhead pointed directly at the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger, Mahoraga, and the surging tide of Tu Tu bombs!
"Whoosh—!"
The flame arrow left the string, transforming into a crimson stream of light that tore through the air.
It instantly crossed hundreds of meters, accurately striking the explosive pack on the back of the foremost Tu Tu.
Time, at this moment, seemed to stretch infinitely.
The light of the flame arrow, the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's struggling, blood-stained head, Mahoraga's rapidly shattering remnants in the annihilating lightning, and the dense, white tide of rabbits carrying death packages about to pounce... the next moment.
"Boom—!!!"
A terrifying, indescribable explosion erupted with a thunderous roar!
First, an extremely dazzling, brilliant white sphere of light that illuminated the dim forest for several miles around as if it were daytime.
Immediately after, the light sphere rapidly expanded, engulfing everything!
The deafening roar was like the collapse of the heavens, and the earth violently undulated, heaved, and then shattered like ocean waves!
A massive mushroom cloud, mixed with flames, dust, shattered rocks, severed limbs, and chaotic Soul Power turbulence, roared skyward, carrying a world-destroying shockwave, soaring into the clouds!
Even the high-altitude clouds were fiercely torn apart and dispersed!
The terrifying shockwave spread outwards in a ring, uprooting ancient trees or snapping them in half, pulverizing giant rocks, and carving deep ravines into the ground wherever it passed.
This corner of the Star Dou Great Forest seemed to have been struck head-on by an extraterrestrial meteorite, leaving a shocking scar of death.
In the distance, Lin Xuan emerged from the shadows again, the cursed markings and blood-red eyes on his face slowly fading.
He quietly watched the slowly rising mushroom cloud, a symbol of destruction, without speaking.
Within his spiritual sea, there was complete silence.
