Cursed Immortality

Chapter 1228: When Mighty Meets Mightier! (4)

With how the Undead Skyfall gathered the massive divine power contained within the droplet of the Godly Faith Nectar, he clearly intended to end everything instantly.

“O’ Hellspawn, kneel beneath eternity and repent!”

The abyssal eye upon his skull suddenly widened to its full extent.

‘BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!’

A colossal black divine formation instantly manifested behind him, covering the entire heavens. Countless black chains erupted from within it, like living serpents, while endless, distorted scriptures echoed through space.

The terrifying divine spell locked onto Jacob completely, and space froze, and time slowed. Even the surrounding laws began to collapse beneath the overwhelming divine authority that shouldn’t have appeared in the Legendary Plains.

At that moment, the Undead Skyfall was absolutely confident, for no matter what Jacob’s origin was, he still remained beneath the realm of divinity, and between elemental laws and divine authority, there existed an insurmountable chasm!

The black chains instantly descended toward Jacob from every direction, yet just as they were about to bind him, a hint of killing intent filled with ridicule flickered in Jacob’s eyes before he vanished!

It was just like before, with a trace of spatial movement, but this time there seemed to be something even more profound behind his disappearance, as he simply ceased to exist.

The Undead Skyfall’s black eye instantly contracted as he clearly felt it better than anyone because of the rank of his power.

“What?!”

Just as his voice sounded with disbelief and rage, he wanted to retract all the divine power back, but it was impossible even for someone like him, not to mention in his current state.

The next moment…

‘BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!’

The divine spell completely missed and struck the distant edge of the Death Grave-Sealing Dome instead.

The heavens shattered, and entire layers of the barrier exploded apart. Even the undead armies below were annihilated by the aftermath.

At the same time, the black radiance surrounding the Undead Skyfall rapidly dimmed, for the divine power within the Godly Faith Nectar had been exhausted, which means his time came to an end as well!

The two black horns began cracking apart, and the abyssal eye upon his skull trembled violently. Even the countless overlapping voices began to fade.

Then from somewhere within the collapsing darkness, Jacob’s cold voice echoed calmly, “So, this is the extent of a snared God? I have to admit, I’m very…disappointed!”

The Undead Skyfall’s expression instantly changed because, for the first time since being imprisoned here, he felt a faint sense of foreboding from none other than a mortal ant; he wanted to turn into a slave!

He even wanted to forcefully remain attached to the Undead Lich King’s body, but unfortunately for him, not only was there no Godly Faith Nectar on the Staff of Sky Downfall, but his prison wouldn’t allow him to exert power anymore.

Moreover, with what he just did, he’ll soon fall into a deep slumber unless he wants the prison to eat away at his power even more, making his damnable enemy succeed in its purpose!

But for some reason, Jacob’s presence here feels even more threatening than the Undead Skyfall Prison!

The Undead Skyfall’s expression darkened further and further as the divine radiance around him rapidly collapsed. The abyssal eye upon his skull trembled violently while the black flames within his sockets became unstable.

The Undead Skyfall suddenly raised his head toward the shattered heavens as if sensing something beyond this prison. Then, before the remaining divine power vanished completely, his countless overlapping voices thundered across the entire Death Grave-Sealing Dome.

“Protect… Hollow… Undead!”

The command reverberated through every undead soul as those words fell; the remaining undead armies instantly erupted into chaos.

The Corpse Wyvern Lord’s expression changed drastically as he no longer cared about Elia or the battlefield below. Without hesitation, he released a shrill roar and fled toward the northern horizon with countless undead legions following behind him like a black tidal wave.

Even the berserk Axe Bone Tyrant abandoned everything and charged away in another direction while roaring violently like a beast escaping catastrophe.

At the same time, the divine aura surrounding the transformed Undead Lich King completely collapsed, and cracks suddenly spread across his obsidian armor.

The next moment, across his bones, dark mist leaked endlessly from those fractures like his very existence was crumbling apart.

The black horns shattered into fragments, the abyssal eye upon his skull closed unwillingly before disintegrating into ash, and finally, the terrifying pressure that once suffocated heaven and earth vanished completely.

Thereafter, the Undead Lich King staggered weakly in midair. The purple-black flames within his sockets reignited faintly as he finally regained control over his body after escaping the Slumber Hex, but now his aura had fallen to an incomparably miserable level.

He looked even weaker than an ordinary Fable Legendary as his skeletal body trembled uncontrollably, and terror filled his hollow eyes.

Because he had witnessed everything, his patron God, the absolute faith he worshipped for endless years, had personally descended, yet still failed to suppress a mere mortal.

“No…” the Undead Lich King muttered shakily, “Impossible… impossible…”

Right at this moment, a figure suddenly and silently appeared before him.

Jacob, in his dark windbreaker, appeared quietly amidst the collapsing death storms. The pale, ghostly flames beneath his hood burned calmly and emotionlessly like a true god of death standing before a broken soul.

The Undead Lich King instinctively recoiled in horror as if facing something even more terrifying than the Undead Skyfall himself.

“H-how…?” His voice trembled uncontrollably as if he refused to believe the mortal in front of him had escaped the divine spell of a God.

Jacob looked at him indifferently.

In truth, Jacob understood very clearly that he hadn’t truly overcome the divine spell, at least not head-on, unless he comprehended Arcane Law; the gap between elemental laws and divine authority remained far too vast.

So, the moment the divine spell had locked onto him, he immediately retreated into Infinite Space. Even a Lesser Faith God seemingly couldn’t completely interfere with his access to the Universal Godly Artifact, and by the time the divine spell exhausted itself, everything was already over.

Jacob’s cold voice sounded quietly, “Does it even matter?”

The Undead Lich King could relate to those words, and the weak flames in his eyes trembled violently as he wanted to flee, survive more than anything else at that moment, but his body no longer obeyed him.

After all, harboring a God’s descent inside a mortal vessel had exacted an unimaginably horrific price, especially after forcefully exhausting every trace of divine power.

At that moment, Jacob slowly raised one hand.

“Well, since you’re merely a pawn, and already broken…there’s no need for you to remain here!”

The Undead Lich King’s eyes widened instantly.

The next moment, Jacob waved his sleeve casually, and the Undead Lich King, who once commanded the entire armies of the Undead Skyfall Canyons for countless years, and raised the entire Legendary Plains into a breeding ground for Undead, vanished without even leaving behind ashes, completely erased!
