**Chapter 5309: Scythe of Death**
Thinking of this, Qin Chen felt a surge of joy in his heart, while the terrifying killing intent from the Mysterious Rusty Sword crazily swept out without restraint.
Boom!
Countless forces of the Dead Sea surged forth like an ocean, continuously pouring into the order domain unleashed by the God of Death. The cracking sounds of the domain grew louder as it began to shatter at an astonishing speed.
The God of Death’s expression changed drastically at this moment. He could not imagine that a being at the second layer of divine manifestation of all creation realm could break through his domain so instantaneously. It was simply unbelievable.
Before he could calm the panic in his heart, he felt waves of terrifying killing intent swiftly penetrating his order domain and seeping into his avatar. In just a moment, he felt sharp pains throughout his body, as if his avatar were about to shatter.
He was even more shocked because he immediately sensed that this killing intent was extremely similar to the killing intent contained in the depths of the Dead Sea; no, it wasn’t just similar; the two were practically identical.
“You… have mastered the killing intent of the Dead Sea? This is impossible!” the God of Death exclaimed in surprise and anger.
This revelation shocked him even more than Qin Chen, a mere being at the pinnacle of the second layer of transcendence, breaking his order domain.
The killing intent of the Dead Sea was something countless powerful beings from their abandoned land had tried to control. Yet, until now, the masters of many forbidden zones within the abandoned land had failed to truly master this killing intent, at most only enhancing their resistance to it.
Yet now, this being at the second layer of transcendence actually controlled the killing intent of the Dead Sea; it was simply a fantasy.
However, he could no longer afford to consider these thoughts, as the killing intent surging around him had become increasingly terrifying, completely enveloping him. The intensity of this killing intent grew ever stronger, and he even had a feeling that once it condensed to its peak, it might be able to tear apart his avatar in an instant.
What terrified him the most was that, accompanying this horrifying killing intent, were terrifying spatial restraints that were increasingly converging. If he did not react, he might not even be able to move in the end.
The God of Death dared not hesitate any longer. Raising his hand, a virtual, pitch-black scythe appeared in his grasp. The moment this scythe emerged, the surrounding void emitted a tearing sound like that of fabric.
This pitch-black scythe was the God of Death's innate treasure, the Scythe of Death. Although it was merely a projected phantom, its power was already terrifying enough to shatter a being at the pinnacle of the second layer of transcendence in an instant.
The moment the Scythe of Death appeared, it was fully summoned by the God of Death.
A series of ear-piercing sounds of glass grinding echoed around, as if, in the dead of winter, the howling cold wind swept across the desolate, icy ground. A black light, shrouded in cold mist, cut through the space between him and Qin Chen, enveloping Qin Chen entirely.
Boom!
The terrifying killing intent emanating from the Mysterious Rusty Sword before Qin Chen was relentlessly torn apart by this pitch-black light.
At the same time, Qin Chen heard a series of cracking sounds. He realized that the killing intent domain he had not yet fully formed was constantly shattering under the assault of the Scythe of Death.
Qin Chen knew in his heart that the killing intent domain he had formed was only utilizing the killing intent from the Dead Sea; he had not truly mastered the order domain himself. Currently, he had not even fully crossed into the second layer of transcendence, and facing a top-tier powerhouse at the third layer of transcendence, he was still a bit too weak.
At this critical moment, Qin Chen directly summoned the Hall of Ten Tribulations, which floated above his head. The Hall of Ten Tribulations emitted waves of black light, instantly enveloping Qin Chen. The Mysterious Rusty Sword was then frantically summoned by Qin Chen, and the seawater of the Dead Sea was refined by him, transforming into a vast river that slashed outward.
