Death Evil Sword
Liliath was furious because the other person looked down on her, so she decided to show Aurora just how wrong he was.
Several Snake-tailed Beast, with a significant advantage in speed and agility, pounced out, while simultaneously spraying a mist of venom towards Aurora's location.
Aurora snorted coldly, took the greatsword from her back, swung it with one hand, and actually cut the three Snake-tailed Beasts, each more than ten meters long, in half at the waist.
Seeing this move, Liliath's lips curled into a slight smile. She had also determined her opponent's type; using such heavy weapons meant they were likely physically powerful, similar to Elsa. This type of opponent was usually weaker in terms of their soul, but since this opponent had comprehended sword intent, attacks like hypnosis shouldn't be effective. The most effective attack would undoubtedly be to pull them into Illusion World and overwhelm them with a swarm of Insect Tide.
However, Liliath didn't intend to use her Trump Card so quickly. Since ascending to demigodhood, she hadn't yet reached the limits of her abilities. Even when dealing with the Profound Darkness Black Python, she hadn't expended much effort. This was because the Profound Darkness Black Python was also a species with a powerful physical body, and its soul strength wasn't much different from that of an ordinary two-star demon beast. Aurora, on the other hand, had sword intent that perfectly compensated for her weakness in soul strength, making her ideal for Liliath to test her skills. If the opponent's soul wasn't strong enough, there would be no challenge; if the opponent's soul was too strong, Elsa would have to avoid it. But this time, her opponent Aurora, was just right.
After the Snake-tailed Beast was slain, Liliath remained calm and continued to control the other monsters to attack. She herself repeatedly used her Soul Deterrence to disrupt them.
Aurora was in a state of utter misery. Every time she was about to launch a counterattack, a wave of dizziness would wash over her. Although her sword intent was constantly trying to dispel the dizziness, there was always a delay of one or two seconds. It was that one or two seconds of delay that allowed the demonic beasts not only to escape her kill but also to leave wounds on her body.
Five or six minutes passed. Aurora was almost entirely suppressed by Liliath, whose timing for each use of Liliath Soul Deterrence was impeccable, leaving Aurora feeling powerless.
Suddenly, Aurora, who had been suppressed, twisted her sword, and the giant sword spontaneously disintegrated. The nearly two-meter-long sword, after disintegrating, transformed into a black sword nearly one meter long. A black, sword-shaped mark flashed across Aurora's forehead.
"Be careful. There's something strange about this sword; I didn't even notice it before." Only now did Sea Emperor notice that the sword in Aurora's hand seemed to be sealed by something. And its current state was a temporary release from the seal. In this state, Sea Emperor clearly sensed that Aurora had become more than ten times stronger. The sword was also constantly emanating an extremely dangerous aura.
Liliath, with her powerful soul, had a direct perception of the sword, as if a powerful, struggling soul was sealed within it. She knew she had to get serious, or she might be killed. Her pupils suddenly turned a deep purple-gold. In the next instant, she absorbed the opponent into her Illusion World.
After entering this state, Aurora was perfectly clear-headed; aside from a surge in her aura, she showed almost no abnormalities. After being pulled into the illusionary space by Liliath, Aurora looked around. "You think this illusion will be of any use to me?"
Liliath ignored Aurora's provocative words. In a flash, a dark swarm of insects appeared in the sky, crushing down on Aurora.
Seeing the sheer force of the Insect Tide, Aurora's expression changed. He had never encountered anything like it before, and even though he knew it was just an illusion, it still terrified him. He remembered just moments before saying the illusion was useless. Now, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and face it.
With a black longsword in hand, she swung it repeatedly, cleaving all the insect beasts in half at the waist wherever it passed. Seeing the effect of her attacks, Aurora's confidence soared.
Liliath frowned. The Insect Tide she had created consisted mostly of Five-Star Mid-rank God deities, with Combat Strength comparable to Mid-rank God. She hadn't expected them to be slaughtered so easily by Aurora.
"Since that's the case, I'll wear you down!" Liliath wasn't in a hurry at all, and began creating Mother Queen within the illusion. In just a few minutes, eight Mother Queen were created, and production quickly began.
Aurora's slaughter of the Insect Tide was accelerating, and black energy surged from the blade of her longsword, even staining Aurora entire body, giving her a somewhat sinister appearance.
Aurora seemed to become exceptionally excited as well, charging into the Insect Tide like a madwoman, constantly swinging her right arm and frantically slashing at the insect beasts.
Soon, the Insect Tide of millions of insectoid beasts was completely slaughtered by Aurora. He was covered in their bodily fluids and emitted a nauseating stench. Meanwhile, the eight Mother Queen in the illusion finally began to give birth, and large numbers of insectoid beasts surged towards Aurora.
Aurora charged madly into the swarm of insects, unleashing her slaughter mode once more. With a sweep of her longsword, all the insect beasts were torn to pieces.
"His condition seems a bit abnormal." Sea Emperor sensed something was amiss.
"Your eyes have gotten a little strange," Liliath noticed as well.
"If I'm not mistaken, he should be controlled by that sword." Sea Emperor finally realized the problem. The black energy emanating from the sword was strange, seemingly eroding Aurora's brain.
Within the illusion, Aurora's slaughtering speed increased, and her eyes gradually turned black, devoid of whites and irises.
"Lily, run! Run as far as you can!" Sea Emperor suddenly shouted.
"Escape?" Liliath was a little confused.
"Yes, that guy's consciousness has been completely devoured, and he has become a slave to the Death Evil Sword. All living beings within his sight will become sacrifices. With your strength, you have no way to suppress him, and even if you join forces with Gu Ding and the others, you may not be his match. You have enough points, so go directly to the area where Gu Ding is and meet up with him and Tagore. If possible, find other people to help you!" The Sea Emperor finally realized the origin of that sword.
Liliath did not doubt the Sea Emperor's judgment, immediately dispelled the illusion, and urged the Profound Darkness Black Python beneath her to flee quickly.
Released from the illusion by Liliath, Aurora was slightly taken aback, but after a brief pause, he immediately gave chase to the fleeing Liliath. However, all the other demonic beasts except for the Profound Darkness Black Python pounced on him. Those beasts only managed to hold Aurora back for a moment before being completely slaughtered.
Aurora's eyes, now completely black from being soaked in Beast Blood, were also stained black by an invisible energy. In Aurora hand, the black longsword continuously spewed forth black mist, enveloping Aurora in an ominous atmosphere.
After slaughtering all the monsters, Aurora looked up in the direction Liliath had just fled, and suddenly pushed off with her legs, chasing after her in that direction at full speed.
"Everyone is fine. Let's gather the points as soon as possible and then meet up with Gu Ding in the Dense Forest Area!" The Sea Emperor's voice quickly reached the ears of everyone in Gu Ding Team.
"Aren't we supposed to seize the treasures in our own area first?" Dokter asked, somewhat puzzled.
"The plan has been disrupted!" With no other option, the Sea Emperor had to reveal the truth. "Liliath is currently being hunted by the sword slaves of the Death Evil Sword. We must all gather together to have any chance of saving Liliath."
"The Death Evil Sword, what is that?" Elsa asked the question.
"It's the sword of a member of the Death Legion from the Abyssal Plane. The Death Legion is led by the Death Monarch of the Abyssal Plane, Third Level powerhouse surpassing even gods. Each member of his Death Legion is equipped with a Death Evil Sword, a sword capable of eroding the user's consciousness and transforming them into a sword slave completely obedient to his commands. Once a sword slave is born, a frenzied slaughter begins. Anyone seen by a sword slave will be attacked, without end." The Sea Emperor's explanation was very detailed.
"Among these sword slaves, the highest level of cultivation is even that of Peak-rank God. However, we are relatively lucky. The sword slaves we encountered this time only have the cultivation of Mid-rank God. But even so, they are not easy to deal with, because once someone becomes a sword slave, their personal Combat Strength will jump by an entire major level compared to their cultivation. Aurora's cultivation level in life was Three-Star Mid-rank God. After becoming a sword slave, her strength will gradually increase to a three-star High-rank God."
"This is a bit tricky..." Bigge frowned; he hadn't encountered such a difficult situation in a long time. A three-star High-rank God — the Gu Ding Pirate Crew really couldn't handle it.
"There's no time to think about the aftermath now," Gu Ding couldn't think of any other solutions. "You all head towards the Treasure Land in the forest. I'm almost there. I'll wait for you! Lily, be careful!"
Liliath nodded silently; she hadn't expected to encounter such a situation. However, her escape plan was clear. After leaping down from the Profound Darkness Black Python's head, she frantically rushed towards the dense forest. Simultaneously, she controlled the Profound Darkness Black Python, driving it in another direction. Not far away, Liliath controlled a massive White-striped Golden Eagle, leaping onto its back and speeding towards the forest.
The sword slave seemed to be of low intelligence as well. He chased after the Profound Darkness Black Python several hours before catching up and killing it. Then he turned back to his original position and chased after the White-striped Golden Eagle.
