With a single strike, Qin Chen repelled the shadow of the God of Death, and his aura surged dramatically. That vast momentum seemed capable of tearing apart the heavens and the earth, and the surrounding void resonated with a roaring sound.
"You controlled the killing intent of the Dead Sea? How did you manage to do that?" The God of Death's shadow crashed heavily from behind, glaring at Qin Chen with a mixture of rage and astonishment, as if he had seen a stunningly beautiful woman in the nude.
The killing intent of the Dead Sea was one of the powers that these masters of forbidden zones had long sought to control. However, no master had been able to achieve this until now.
Yet this young man before him had actually mastered the killing intent of the Dead Sea, causing him to tremble with excitement. If he could capture this young man, he might uncover the method to control the killing intent of the Dead Sea. At that time, in the entire forsaken land, who among the masters of the forbidden zones could compete with him? They would all be within his grasp.
What shocked the God of Death the most was that through their earlier confrontation, he had clearly sensed that Qin Chen was not a third layer of transcendence, but merely a second transcendence, and even the power of all phenomena emanating from him wasn’t particularly strong.
To have a second transcendence at such a level command the killing intent of the Dead Sea—what kind of secret did he possess?
"Hmph, how I control the killing intent of the Dead Sea is none of your business," Qin Chen retorted coldly. While he entertained the thought of subduing the Underworld Flame Tomb General, he had no intention of negotiating with the God of Death.
As a master of a forbidden zone, a powerhouse like the God of Death would never talk terms with him. His sole objective was undoubtedly to capture him and extract all his secrets.
Therefore, as the God of Death felt a mix of anger and surprise, Qin Chen showed no hesitation and summoned the Mysterious Rusty Sword once more.
Killing Intent Tsunami! This time, Qin Chen directly activated the spatial law and thoroughly fused the killing intent from the Mysterious Rusty Sword with it. Countless spatial powers transformed into fissures in space, merging into the myriad sword lights that burst forth. Within this sword light, the killing intent from the Mysterious Rusty Sword and the terrifying killing aura contained within the waters of the Dead Sea were also fused.
The God of Death, who had witnessed the power of the Dead Sea's killing intent, did not dare to underestimate it. At the moment Qin Chen made his move, his scythe of the Lord of Death reformed in front of him. Simultaneously, an endless surge of dark death law power erupted from him, transforming into rippling whirlpools of death energy, combining with the scythe's dense black killing aura, and enveloping Qin Chen.
This time, the God of Death knew that capturing Qin Chen wouldn’t be easy. Thus, he ignited the essence of his avatar, and in an instant, countless wills of death descended, plunging the surrounding world into an endless nightmare of death. In this state of burning his essence, his avatar could only last as long as a single incense stick, but he believed that this was more than enough time to capture Qin Chen, a mere second transcendence, even if the latter possessed the killing intent of the Dead Sea.
Under the full force of the God of Death burning his essence, the might of the scythe exploded forth, surpassing its previous terrifying strength by more than double. The black death killing light rose in waves, and even the Underworld Flame Tomb General and others watching felt a chill run down their spines. He was ready; should the God of Death gain the upper hand, he would immediately strike at Qin Chen to ensure the God of Death could swiftly capture him.
Previously, the God of Death had sensed Qin Chen's strength, knowing that the latter's greatest asset was the killing intent of the Dead Sea. Thus, he decided to burn his essence, risking injury to shatter Qin Chen’s killing intent attack and then capture him directly.
