Chapter 608, Taking Death God’s Strike Head-On

Translator: Silavin

 

Behind the Death God’s Scythe was a pair of arms composed of immensely large white bones.

 

The arms were draped with a layer of tattered greyish-red cloak.

 

Although only a pair of arms and a scythe emerged from the Summoning Array, one could still see that this summoned entity bore a striking resemblance to the legendary image of the Grim Reaper.

 

The so-called Death God was not some groundless rumour. It had truly existed in this world.

 

It was said that a hundred years ago, when a western nation was exploring new territories, they had triggered a Hidden Stage within a Dungeon Instance. Not only did they fail to clear it, but the Dungeon Instance mutated and merged with this world.

 

The Boss within the Dungeon Instance was a Level 100 Monster called ‘Death God’s Remains’.

 

Once this Monster emerged into the real world, the disaster it caused was far worse than what the Nine Hell Demons of Extremistis Country ever did.

 

The entire nation was almost completely slaughtered by this single Boss.

 

This led to the destruction of that nation, which vanished into the annals of history.

 

Later, this Boss continued wandering and, after destroying two small countries, arrived at Star Strip Country.

 

At that time, the Boss had kicked an iron plate.

 

Although Star Strip Country did not have a long history, they had some Families who had existed long before the founding of Star Strip Country.

 

These Families joined forces and successfully eliminated this Boss.

 

Thus, the crisis brought by this Boss was finally eradicated.

 

However, although this Boss died, it left behind many things.

 

For instance, it held the title of one of the most dangerous Wandering Bosses for many consecutive years. The disaster it caused also remained a regular fixture in the top ten recorded Monster disasters in history.

 

Moreover, investigations by relevant Players revealed that this Boss was merely the corpse of a Divine Being, not a true Divine Being.

 

If it had truly been reborn and wandered the world, there would likely be no existence capable of stopping it.

 

It was actually because of the appearance of ‘Death God’s Remains’ that this world was introduced to the concept of ‘Divinity’. It had caused some to speculate that Divine Power should be obtainable by those above the Fifth Profession Change.

 

In other words, Humans’ Levelling did not stop upon reaching Level 100 or 120.

 

Past Level 120, there was a much longer stairway.

 

Some named this the Path to the Divine. Crossing this path would grant them power comparable to Divine Beings.

 

However, whether anyone had ever thread this path remained unknown.

 

At the same time, the complete destruction and annihilation of ‘Death God’s Remains’ brought some changes to the World Principles.

 

Related Secret Realms, Monsters, and Dungeon Instances were conceived, and even some related Hidden Professions appeared.

 

For example, this Black Mage’s Profession. IT should be related to the Death God.

 

He could even summon the Death God to descend from another world and attack Lu Fan.

 

One could imagine that while the current Death God’s strength was far inferior to its True Form, its power should also not be inferior to the ‘Death God’s Remains’ that had once destroyed three nations.

 

With this partial body descent, the Black Mage should be able to battle existences above Level 110 without falling into a disadvantage.

 

Lu Fan could also sense the oppressive aura brought by this partial body. However, though it could force Lu Fan to retreat, one could only say that the Black Mage was still underestimating him too much.

 

After all, never mind a partial body, even if the true ‘Death God’s Remains’ were summoned, Lu Fan could still blast it to pieces!

 

To deal with Lu Fan, only if the Divine Being, Death God, personally arrived could he be taken down.

 

After the partial body descended, everyone present felt tremendous pressure.

 

Even a Boss like the Divine Lake Crocodile Ancestor became visibly agitated, unwilling to simultaneously fight Li Qingfeng, Yuan Jingang, and such a terrifying existence.

 

However, the Death God’s true target was Lu Fan.

 

It gripped its scythe, raised it, and swung it towards Lu Fan.

 

Without any flashy Skill Effects, the power of this strike was terrifyingly abnormal!

 

Wherever the scythe passed, it left only a trail of white light, splitting air and space in two, leaving one unable to breath.

 

Lu Fan watched the massive scythe about to split him in two, showing no intention of dodging whatsoever.

 

He smiled slightly, clenched his fist, and softly said. “Little Blade Armour Dragon King, let’s test just how sturdy you really are. You should be able to handle this, right?”

 

A thought transmitted through spiritual connection entered Lu Fan’s mind.

 

Lu Fan chuckled, raised his fist, and punched towards the oncoming scythe.

 

Such a scene stunned everyone present!

 

Everyone could sense the power of this strike was absolutely not something they could take head-on.

 

Yet Lu Fan was doing just fine. Never mind whether he could dodge it or not, he did not even bother dodging and directly used his fist to take it head-on! What did this mean!?

 

This was basically no different to watching an ordinary person directly punch an oncoming speeding train!

 

This was no different to seeking death!

 

The terrifying Death God’s Scythe would force even Yuan Jingang to retreat.

 

If Lu Fan, a Third Profession Player, took it, would there even be a corpse?

 

Everyone thought the exact same.

 

However, when the scythe truly collided with Lu Fan’s fist, a scene occurred that no one had anticipated.

 

*Clang…*

*Crack!*

 

Both sounds rang out almost simultaneously.

 

Lu Fan’s body remained completely motionless, as steady as Mount Tai.

 

Looking at the Death God’s Scythe in contrast, it actually shattered the instant it collided with Lu Fan’s fist!

 

The massive scythe became covered in cracks, breaking inch by inch.

 

This shattering continued upward, spreading from the Death God’s Scythe to the Death God’s arm bones!

 

The sound of cracking was incessant and thunderously loud.

 

Under the expression of everyone’s eyeballs nearly popping out, the massive partial body of the Death God crumbled and scattered away, transforming into palm-sized white bones. It soon turned into points of light during their fall and dissipated into the air.

 

In merely ten seconds, the Death God’s body completely collapsed. Following this collapse was the Black Mage’s Summoning Array.

 

With the summoned Monster dead, the Summoning Array naturally ceased to exist. As the Death God’s body completely shattered, the Summoning Array also exploded with a tremendous roar.

 

For a moment, the chaotic power from the Summoning Array continuously overflowed, like fireworks exploding in mid-air.

 

And within these fireworks, everyone fell completely silent.
