Chapter 138: The Heavens and Earth as Burial Offerings

A tri-colored radiance swept across the sky, eclipsing the sun. As the light swirled, the bodies of the Jing brothers froze in place, only to crumble into ash and scatter into the vast sea of sand. In an instant, the entire firmament erupted into chaos. A wave of madness surged forth as the swirling sands roared, as if the countless vengeful spirits had taken physical form to launch a final, desperate assault against Gui Rulai.

Seeing this, the three women’s eyes filled with hot tears. They each spat out a mouthful of vital essence, directing it toward the ancient divine flower suspended in mid-air. As the three streams of light merged into the bloom, a brief silence fell, followed by a sudden, brilliant explosion of dazzling, transcendent radiance.

BOOM!

The sheer pressure of the brilliance slammed everyone toward the ground, and even the wailing of the vengeful spirits was momentarily stifled.

The Snake Woman and Gui Rulai exchanged a glance, shock flickering in their eyes. They had never imagined that three A-rank death row inmates could possess such formidable power!

Yet, what truly stunned them was that the three-colored divine flower fused together, birthing an even purer, crystalline light. But instead of turning toward the abyssal hell of spirits, it surged toward Mu You, whose life force was fading into nothingness.

"Brother Mu You!"
"Live!"
"I won't let you die!"

The divine flower vanished directly into Mu You’s right chest. A moment later, infinite divine light erupted in every direction. Mu You’s body began to mend, bit by bit. Flickers of fire emerged, gradually intensifying as they were joined by the crackling power of thunder, growing ever more ferocious.

"Boss!"
"Little Brother Mu You!"

The others stared in disbelief as Mu You’s hollow eyes regained their clarity. His left eye returned to its signature blood-ink hue, while his right eye had transformed into a deep, celestial azure.

Two pillars of heaven-piercing light shot from the reborn Mu You’s eyes, merging into the dome of the sky. The countless vengeful spirits scattered in fear. Mu You locked his gaze onto the Imperial Artifacts—the Snake Woman and Gui Rulai—as the Flame Phoenix Heaven-Severing Slash began to coalesce once more in his left hand.

"The same trick? Do you truly believe it will work on me again?"

Seeing Mu You’s greatest attack, now bolstered by three divine incantations—a strike fully equal to a complete offensive divine incantation—Gui Rulai still wore a look of utter disdain.

"True, one technique is not enough..."

The reborn Mu You’s voice was slightly hoarse, but his eyes were deeper than ever before. A brilliant azure light began to gather in his right hand.

A wing of azure thunder unfurled from Mu You’s right shoulder, and azure flame patterns began to spread from his right eye, perfectly complementing the slash-mark seal on his left.

"What if we add another?"

Thunder gathered, condensing into the shape of a halberd. It flickered in and out of existence, shifting between light and shadow, yet the destructive aura it emitted was no less potent than the Flame Phoenix Heaven-Severing Slash.

"You think you’re so impressive, but the question is, can you actually pull it off?" The Snake Woman sneered. Even with the boost of three divine incantations, how much energy could an A-rank inmate have left after a resurrection? To attempt a dual-incantation strike was pure delusion!

"I cannot do it alone, but... what about six of us?"

As Mu You spoke, he raised the Thunder-Striking Halberd high above his head. At the same time, the ethereal figures of Jing Fei, Jing Dule, An Ruohuan, An Ruxiang, and Xuan Yao gradually appeared within his silhouette. They were one with Mu You, all six pairs of hands gripping the weapon together. It was their indomitable will, lingering within the divine incantations. In that moment, the thunder turned a deep, obsidian black, and Mu You’s right eye deepened in color.

"Flame Phoenix Heaven-Severing Slash! Thunder Dragon Halberd of the Heavens!"

Blood-ink and obsidian-black radiance instantly claimed the entire universe. Two beams of destructive light surged toward the Snake Woman and Gui Rulai with equal intensity. The once arrogant and invincible pair now wore expressions of sheer terror. Even for an S-rank death row inmate, two such divine incantations would require a full-force effort. For Imperial Artifacts, even those ranked above S-class, attempting to forcibly intercept such power before fully recovering their strength was an exercise in futility.

"Jing Dule, go in peace. The Boss has nothing else to give you, so... let this entire world serve as your funeral pyre."
