Summoners: One Golden Term per Level

Moments later.

”Boom!”

A fist imbued with terrifying power heavily compressed the void, emitting sounds of unbearable pressure, and in the pupil of the Celestial Corpse’s eyeless eyes, it continually magnified.

It seemed to occupy the entire world before it.

With just this punch, the Celestial Corpse knew that this punch had reached his level.

How many days has it been... Impossible!

Limitless power instantly slammed into his body, and in a fleeting moment, even the Celestial Corpse couldn’t react, his body crushed by the infinite force flowing through.

The entire body left streams of afterimages in the air, successive Abyssal Breaths incessantly shattered, crashing down with a ’boom’ onto the ground.

Countless waves of soil surged into dirt dragons sweeping outward, shaking the surroundings.

The dust settled.

A massive crater, stretching over ten thousand meters, appeared on the ground, with spider-web-like cracks continuously spreading around the crater.

”To think you could take my punch and not die? As expected of Tier Nine!”

The Celestial Dao Demon Venerable’s figure began to recover; he had just combined all the incoming running power with ’Overlord Charge’ and ’Holy Knight Heaven Tipping’ to form ’Overturning Buzhou’.”

Along with the augmentations of ’Demon Venerable’ and ’Vast Heaven Overlord Body Embryo’.

And the ’Heaven-Slaying Fist’; this punch combined with all those would surely obliterate any ordinary Tier Eight immediately.

”Mirror Image Space!”

In the next moment.

Silver light flickered, shrouding the surroundings, and simultaneously, the Jiuli Army appeared within the Land of Jiuli.

”Form the Jiuli Array!”

The Celestial Dao Demon Venerable shouted loudly, and the surrounding space rose up once more, as the Celestial Corpse in the crater leaped up fiercely, swallowing and breathing countless Abyssal Breaths to begin healing its body.

Black gases rendered the void, transforming on its body into a sinister armor, with claws piercing through everything extended forth.

”Though not yet at the Second Transformation, even if you wield such terrifying power, how long can you sustain it for?”

”Besides, this is my territory!”

The Celestial Corpse let out a low growl, and the surrounding Abyssal Breaths continued to be consumed and discharged, instantly restoring the slight loss of energy from just a moment ago.

And in the next moment.

Countless silver lights exploded wildly upon its body, splitting open the newly healed wounds again with numerous purulent blood splatters.

”A mutated Eye Demon?”

The pain-stricken Celestial Corpse swept its gaze around, finding the source of the attack.

Only to see hidden Eye Demons lurking in the void, causing the earlier explosive damage on its body.

”Still concerned about this?”

The Celestial Dao Demon Venerable activated the ’Demon Venerable’ state, instantly closing in on the Celestial Corpse, which reacted by swiftly retreating a step.

Simultaneously striking with a punch, boundless black gases surged forth, transforming into a sky-encompassing dark curtain, then into a giant mouth lunging to bite at the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable.

”Descent of the Holy Father!”

The Celestial Dao Demon Venerable instantly activated the ’Jesus’ Palm’ skill, a lofty, merciful apparition appearing behind—a radiant light shining upon the world—vast power enveloping this Abyss.

”Heaven-Slaying Fist!”

The Heaven-Slaying Fist descended like endless rainfall, its might seemingly set to pierce through every world.

The void shattered in succession—the black curtain’s giant mouth sent by the Celestial Corpse disintegrated in its overpowering force.

The aftershocks expanded layer by layer, stirring countless void ripples within this ’Jiuli Space’.

”How is this guy so terrifying!”

The Celestial Corpse could only retreat incessantly, even wanting to distance itself from the dual-space lock, yet an immense power blocked even its attempts to move.

All it could do was punch back, the center of their clashing punches continually fragmenting the void—as if two beams of light in perpetual collision.

Only endless ripples continually shattered within, reappearing, and shattering again...

’Boom boom boom boom boom boom——!’

The sound of collisions ceaselessly echoed, because the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable, in its ’Overlord Body’ state, refused to retreat at all.

Suddenly, the Celestial Corpse retreated fiercely, its speed enough to cover ten thousand meters in an instant.

But under these two forces, it felt like being stuck in a quagmire, managing only to instant teleport a few thousand meters.

Yet it could not be concerned with breaking through this limitation now—a clear shock emerged on its cracked, ossified face.

”I can’t even wound you!”

The Celestial Corpse’s voice was laced with confusion, for this opponent did not leave any strength for defense, attacking crazily instead.

Yet its power was continually resisted by an extraordinarily resilient force.

And occasionally, it would be countered by an even mightier force.

”Is there someone bearing the damage for you?”

Having ascended to Tier Nine, it had seen techniques like damage substitution, and even substitute death techniques many times.

But the issue was, after withstanding so many punches, the substitute was still bearing it.

What exactly exists here?

Because it is Tier Nine.

The Celestial Dao Demon Venerable responded not in the least, slightly furrowing his brows.

Apart from the initial ’Overturning Buzhou,’ even its Heaven-Slaying Fist could not deliver extremely effective strikes upon this wretch.

The greatest damage was still caused by the [Flying Dragon Cloud-Seeking Hand].

This is Tier Nine...

In the abyssal depths of the Celestial Corpse’s pitch-black pupils, countless black ripples surged—a newly fractured armor manifested once more in an instant.

”Indeed a remarkable power, but if you think this can kill me, you think too much.”

The Celestial Corpse stomped upon the void, an eerie, cold, horrifying aura emerging, ”And your petty insects here—do you really think they can trap me!”

Endless black light surged forth, shooting into the presence of the Jiuli Army, previously formed from Tier Eight Flame Demons.

He could sense those several Tier Eights nearby supplying this wretch with power.

First, slaughter all these creatures.

Then a part of its power would be undermined.

”Divine Love!”

The Celestial Dao Demon Venerable let out a cold hum, the Holy Light illuminating, enveloping the Jiuli Army within.

In an instant.

The black gas penetrating the Jiuli Army transformed into Holy Light, permeating throughout their bodies.

In that instant.

The Celestial Corpse had already appeared before the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable, its terrifying power trembling across the heavens, crashing down on the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable’s head like Mount Tai.

Just then, it had forced a defense from the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable, its primary target always being the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable.

He knew only by killing the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable could the issue be completely resolved.

”Fixed!”

Next moment.

A tender voice cried out within the void, boundless Power of the Void instantaneously formed into blocks of transparent crystals, stacking tightly, assembling into a giant maze, enveloping the Celestial Corpse within.

Enchanting, dazzling.

”Damn it!”

The Celestial Corpse’s fist pounded the Void Maze, the entire maze shattering in an instant.

But the Void Maze had already served its purpose—just when the Celestial Corpse was stalled.

A sliver of mockery surfaced on the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable’s face, murmuring, ”Cross Binding!”

The Celestial Dao Demon Venerable’s hand burst forth with immense light, transforming the Holy Light into a massive cross, limitless power instantly cloaked around the Celestial Corpse.

Like ’Jesus’ Suffering,’ it forcibly bound the Celestial Corpse to the cross, its hands fixed to either side by chains formed from the Holy Light.

And so were its feet likewise fixed.
