Chapter 378: Chapter 379: Cripple a Leg

If the Void Creature had rationality and could communicate, it would definitely cry out and question Mu Can and the others as to why they launched such a ferocious attack on it the moment it escaped its confinement. It’s important to know that, during the years of being sealed, the Void Creature endured endless darkness and loneliness, suffering through boundless hunger and torment, without even the slightest sign that the wounds on its body were healing.

Just as it broke free, the painful blow that met it directly sent it into a frenzied state.

Pain!

Its entire body was filled with the sensation of burning flames; every part of its body was filled with the sensation of pain. The Void Creature had thought about breaking through the Void to escape, but the Array carved on the Altar had already sealed off its route of escape.

There were no paths in the heavens and no doors on the ground; it could only withstand their assault.

A creature in a desperate situation can always unleash strength beyond its normal level; a trapped beast still fights, not to mention a Void Level creature.

Although in the endless void, the Void Creature is nothing, but for the Mortal World, it is already a being at the very top of the pyramid. If a Void Creature were to descend upon the Mortal World now, it would truly be an extinction-level disaster.

Ao! Ao! Ao!

After enduring so many attacks and not even touching the edge of its opponent, the Void Creature went on a rampage.

Its four arms slowly merged together to form two even thicker arms. Its body began to shake rapidly, and the flames on its body eerily extinguished slowly, leaving only a few dark traces on its body telling of its recent ordeal, seemingly without any effect.

Who knows what Secret Technique it activated, but the injuries on the Void Creature’s body were healing quickly. Except for the continually hit wound on its leg that remained on its body, the rest of the injuries had completely healed.

The Void Creature that had recovered from its wounds lunged at the Spiritual Power Avatar Dongfeng Shuo had summoned. It was the creature in front of it, which it had mistaken for one of its own kind, that allowed others the opportunity to give it those heavy blows. But now, the Void Creature had long since realized something was wrong with the Spiritual Power Avatar and, upon discovering that it was merely a soulless avatar, the Void Creature lashed out instantly, its arms—now merged and twice as thick—slamming fiercely towards the starving Spiritual Power Avatar.

Even at such a distance, Mu Can could feel the momentum of that punch, as if the whole world was constantly shrinking, until all that remained was that fist.

Bang!

As expected, the fist smashed directly onto the face of the Spiritual Power Avatar, and with a ‘pfft’ sound, the head of the Spiritual Power Avatar instantly burst open, dissipating into patches of Spiritual Energy mixed in the air. In front of the Void Creature, which had temporarily restored its power using a Secret Technique, this avatar, which could also dominate its peers in the Mortal World, was just like this, killed.

“This powerful?” The discreet man looked at the Void Creature with a vigilant face and whispered.

A secret technique, instantly reversing the situation, the Void Creature that had been struggling under everyone’s hands, relied on this secret technique to break the game and took the initiative directly.

The strength of the Void Level creature is so formidable; a secret technique made everyone’s efforts in vain.

“He doesn’t know what secret technique he used, but his strength has already recovered by a large part. However, this kind of secret technique usually has a strong time limit. When the period of strength passes, and the moment of weakness comes, that will be when he is at his most vulnerable.” Despite the Spiritual Power Avatar being destroyed, Dongfeng Shuo had gleaned a lot from it. That’s how experts are; every little detail is enough to deduce a lot of things.

During that instant when the Void Creature made its move, Dongfeng Shuo keenly felt a slight change in the creature’s aura, like dropping a spot of ink into clear water, a discordant element appeared within the powerful aura and was then immediately suppressed. It was this that led Dongfeng Shuo to deduce that the Void Creature in front of him had used some kind of secret technique, and that the technique must be extremely damaging to it, only able to suppress its injuries for a short duration.

“That’s right, I don’t believe that being sealed for so long, he doesn’t have any issue.” The discreet man gritted his teeth, hope was just up ahead – either kill the Void Creature in front of them and get the tickets, or fail together. At this point, they had no option to choose, only to fight, to death.

“If anyone still holds back their strength at this time, then they might as well wait for defeat,” said the discreet man coldly, while glancing at Mu Can and Donghuang.

Donghuang snorted coldly, obviously very dissatisfied with the discreet man’s words.

Mu Can chuckled, not saying much, as he was indeed concealing his strength. With his current strength, along with the help from the Reincarnation Pearl and Wang Cai, it would not be difficult to face the Void Creature alone. However, Mu Can wasn’t willing to expose the Reincarnation Pearl.

Let’s not forget, if there are existences in this world that could overpower Mu Can and desire to snatch the Reincarnation Pearl, Mu Can has no way to protect his treasure.

At this moment, under Dongfeng Shuo’s control, the shattered Spiritual Power Avatar instantly condensed into a longsword, and fiercely stabbed into the injured leg of the Void Creature. The Void Creature turned its attention to the muscular man holding a shield vigilantly after one punch shattered the avatar. Because of this, the sword successfully struck, plunging deeply into the terrifying wound on the leg of the Void Creature.

Half of the longsword’s length became embedded in the creature’s leg, even piercing into the bone. The Void Giant Beast, in pain, reached out to pull the longsword from its leg, only to find that the moment its hand touched the sword, the longsword disintegrated again, including the portion inside its leg. But even though the longsword broke, it left traces of Spiritual Energy on the wound. Green blood instantly spurted out, doubling the size of the wound, gushing like a bubbling spring.

This was the most significant damage inflicted on the Void Creature since the beginning of the battle.

This wound was the result of the combined efforts of Mu Can’s Ice Dragon, Fire Dragon, the muscular man’s giant axe, Donghuang’s Light Ball, the discreet man’s Earth Spear, and Dongfeng Shuo’s Spiritual Power Avatar – the attacks from all five of them had successfully expanded the existing wound on the Void Creature, affecting its movements.

The Void Creature, indeed, lived up to its reputation.
