As the words fell, the Netherworld Emissary opened its enormous mouth.
Inside that blood-basin maw was a tongue like a Blood River, while its sharp fangs were piles of stark white bones. With one shriek, it was as though ten thousand yin souls had opened their mouths together.
"Rumble!"
In an instant, great sound became soundless. Terrifying Divine Radiance shook Lu Yang's Sea of Consciousness violently, and streaks of Golden Light immediately shielded his Divine Sense.
Stubborn Gold Lord!
This Innate Divine Ability was a standard life-preserving art. Under its protection, even axes and halberds could fall upon one's body without causing the slightest harm; it could even safeguard the Sea of Consciousness!
However, the Netherworld Emissary was clearly far stronger than Lu Yang. After all, Sky Soaring had molded it, and it began as a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Great True Person.
The Golden Light formed by Stubborn Gold Lord shattered with a crash amid the Netherworld Emissary's shriek. Terrifying sound waves rumbled through Lu Yang's Sea of Consciousness, only stopping after his Sea of Consciousness, soul, and memories had all been churned into a tangled mess.
Yet in the very next second—
"Hmm?"
A flash of Golden Light appeared. Before the Netherworld Emissary could react, a Sword Light rose from the shattered Sea of Consciousness and slashed toward it!
"You're not dead?"
The Netherworld Emissary blocked the Sword Light with a stunned expression, only to discover that its Dharma Body was disintegrating inch by inch beneath that Sword Light, like ice and snow melting away!
Weapon Master!
Naturally, Lu Yang would not hand Calamity Waves over to an avatar, so what he used now was the portion of Weapon Master's mysteries that represented "change."
Change meant transformation.
When things reached their extreme, change was born!
