Chapter 1170: Soul-Extinguishing Divine Light
âFrom the looks of it, his strength suits you very well,â Zhou Wen said as he sized up Unkilling Dugu.
âYou canât really talk about suitability. Apart from that old fart, Iâm the only one from the Dugu family who can enter Shinra Temple. He has no other choice.â Unkilling Dugu sized up Zhou Wen and company and said, âThankfully, you arenât from my Dugu family. Otherwise, I wouldnât have had the chance to inherit Nameless Duguâs power.â
Clearly, Zhou Wen and company werenât affected by Shinra Temple, leaving Unkilling Dugu very surprised.
If a single person wasnât affected, it could be said to be a coincidence. However, it was odd that so many people and pets werenât affected.
However, this didnât matter. Unkilling Dugu had already obtained what he wanted. Even though Zhou Wen and company had entered, there was no way for them to stop him.
Unkilling Dugu looked at Zhou Wen and said, âI still have to thank you for saving my life and helping me obtain true strength. After I become the owner of Myriad Elephant Valley, I will definitely repay you.â
âSince that half of Nameless Dugu failed to become the master of the Dugu family and is still trapped here, do you think you can do what he didnât?â Zhou Wen said.
âHe canât, but I can,â said Unkilling Dugu confidently.
âIâm afraid I canât give you such a chance. I have to resolve the trouble I caused. I canât trouble others,â Zhou Wen said.
âYouâre making things difficult for me. No matter what, I owe you. I donât want to kill you,â said Unkilling Dugu with a sigh.
âYour debt to the Dugu family is greater for raising you. You donât seem to have any intention of letting them off. Iâm nothing,â Zhou Wen said.
âIndeed. Since youâve chosen this path, you have no choice but to continue.â Unkilling Dugu nodded slightly and looked at Zhou Wen. âItâs still not too late for you to back out now.â
Zhou Wen didnât say a word as he looked at Tsukuyomi and the antelope. Zhou Wen felt that the reason that the two of them had entered so eagerly wasnât just to destroy Unkilling Dugu.
Seeing Zhou Wen remain silent, Unkilling Dugu continued, âBoundless Mountain is about to corporealize. I donât have time to wait any longer. Since you arenât willing to back off, I can only send you on your way.â
As he spoke, the golden light over Unkilling Duguâs body turned into a blinding light. The golden light seemed to be able to pierce into a personâs soul, as though it was about to melt it.
The black-robed manâs expression changed drastically when he saw the golden light. He loudly warned Zhou Wen, âRetreat quickly... Thatâs the Soul-Washing Divine Light...â
âWhatâs the Soul-Washing Divine Light?â Zhou Wenâs body was bathed in the golden divine light, but he didnât sense anything special.
âOutsiders only know that Nameless Dugu is good at movement techniques, but very few people know that his strongest trait isnât his movement technique, but the Soul-Washing Divine Light. Those who are illuminated by the Soul-Washing Divine Light will have their memories wiped. No matter how strong your body is or how strong you are, if you donât have any memories, youâll be like a newborn baby. You will forget everything. Itâs useless even if you have a powerful body... Quickly retreat... Donât be illuminated by the Soul-Washing Divine Light again... You will completely lose your memories...â the black-robed man said anxiously when he saw that Zhou Wen still had no intention of moving.
Without waiting for Zhou Wen to say anything, Unkilling Dugu spoke. âThis isnât the Soul-Washing Divine Light. It should be called the Soul-Extinguishing Divine Light. Nameless Duguâs original powers combined with mine produces an effect that far exceeds the original Soul-Washing Divine Light. Now, not only can this divine light wash away memories, but it can also wipe out oneâs souls, turning oneâs body into a soulless, empty shell... However, Iâm indebted to you after all... Now, Iâll only erase your memories... If you donât leave... the next step wonât be as simple as erasing memories.â
Zhou Wen felt that he really couldnât recall certain things, but it wasnât his present memory.
Zhou Wen looked at Tsukuyomi again. She was the one who said that any path was fine. It was impossible for her to do nothing and leave the trouble to him, right?
However, Tsukuyomiâs eyes didnât look at Unkilling Dugu at all. She kept staring at the stone furnace.
The Ox-Head on the stone furnace had already turned into a dessicated corpse. It looked like it would turn to dust the moment the wind blew. It looked like everything had been passed down to Unkilling Dugu.
Tsukuyomi wasnât looking at the creature, but the stone furnace itself.
The stone furnace was ancient and the patterns on it were very crude. If it wasnât so big and in a mysterious place like Shinra Temple, Zhou Wen probably wouldnât have taken a second look at it.
However, Tsukuyomi seemed to be looking at it very carefully, as though she was observing the patterns inch by inch.
Seeing that Zhou Wen had no intention of retreating, Unkilling Dugu frowned and said, âIn that case, donât blame me. Let me use the strongest Soul-Extinguishing Divine Light to send you away.â
As Unkilling Dugu spoke, his eyes suffused a golden glow. The golden glow became brighter and brighter before finally turning into a blazing white color.
At the same time, his body gradually fused with the divine light. It was as though only the pair of eyes that resembled blazing lamps hung in the air as they stared intently at Zhou Wen and company.
âHe has already reached the Terror grade... Heâs stronger than my familyâs old hero back then. Perhaps itâs really as he said. That divine light might be able to wipe out souls. Quickly retreat,â the black-robed man said in horror.
However, just as the black-robed man finished speaking, he suddenly saw Tsukuyomi beside Zhou Wen move. She walked in the direction of the Soul-Extinguishing Divine Light that illuminated the hall like it was daytime and walked towards Unkilling Dugu.
Unkilling Dugu was slightly taken aback when he saw this. However, he was still very confident in his Soul-Extinguishing Divine Light. He gathered all his strength and stared at Tsukuyomi with his blazing white eyes.
Back then, Nameless Dugu had relied on the Soul-Washing Divine Light to take his place among the six heroes. He had never encountered anyone who could match him. Back then, Nameless Dugu was only at the Mythical stage.
Later on, when he was trapped in the Shinra Temple, his strength improved further over time. He had already advanced to the Terror grade. Now, with the addition of his powers, Unkilling Dugu refused to believe that this once invincible divine light couldnât kill the young woman.
The Terror-grade Soul-Extinguishing Divine Light completely bloomed, turning into two beams of divine light that shone on Tsukuyomi.
The black-robed man outside felt his heart turn cold. He originally wanted to use Zhou Wenâs strength to temporarily hold back Unkilling Dugu, but Zhou Wen had been too careless. The few of them had actually braved the attempt to withstand the Soul-Extinguishing Divine Light, but there was no doubt about the destined outcome.
However, in the next second, the black-robed manâs pupils suddenly constricted as his mouth gaped open as though he had been petrified.
Unkilling Duguâs Soul-Extinguishing Divine Light shone at Tsukuyomi. With a wave of Tsukuyomiâs hand, the Soul-Extinguishing Divine Light immediately vanished. As for Unkilling Dugu, his body was sent flying as he slammed into the stone furnace. His golden armor shattered.
Blood spewed out of Unkilling Duguâs mouth, but his face was filled with disbelief, finding what had happened utterly unbelievable.
