Chapter 042: The Two Extremes Life-Death Formation

The corpse king's corpse aura was extremely dense, staining the sky black. The countless thunder spears that Wang Bo radiated vanished silently after entering the black canopy.

It was as if a drop of water had merged into the ocean, without stirring the slightest ripple.

A grim smile appeared on the corpse king's handsome face. After swallowing the thunder spears, the black corpse aura swelled even more, instantly engulfing the entire valley.

Plants, the earth, and even the insects and animals living in the valley—the moment they were devoured by the black corpse aura—all withered and ceased to exist, transforming into nourishment that strengthened the black corpse aura.

Wang Bo flickered, retreating from the valley with White Impermanence, and stared at the corpse king in astonishment. This guy's strength exceeded his imagination, especially the black corpse aura, which was truly terrifying.

The corpse king, not one to let an advantage slip, was still furious from Wang Bo's earlier words and only wanted to teach him a lesson.

The black corpse aura continued to expand, as if it would not rest until it had devoured Wang Bo.

Wang Bo raised an eyebrow, instantly teleporting before the corpse king and actively entering the black corpse aura. However, a faint glow emanated around him.

A powerful magical force formed a barrier, protecting Wang Bo.

The black corpse aura crashed against Wang Bo's barrier, producing a screeching sound like fingernails scraping a blackboard, as if it would crush the barrier into dust.

But Wang Bo maintained a steady output of magical power, reinforcing the barrier to withstand the corpse aura's assault.

At the same time, he raised his right hand and pointed a finger.

Whoosh!

A brilliant golden ray shot from Wang Bo's fingertip, straight at the corpse king's brow. This golden light radiated a blazing, majestic aura, as if it were the bane of all dark and evil forces.

The corpse king's brow twitched, sensing danger, and he immediately turned his head to dodge the strike.

The golden ray grazed the corpse king's ear and flew past.

But the next second, the golden ray turned back and sped toward the back of the corpse king's head. Sensing this, the corpse king formed layers of barriers behind him.

These barriers, composed of black corpse aura, were like layers of sturdy fortresses.

The golden ray struck the black fortress, causing violent tremors, but was ultimately blocked.

A smug smile appeared on the corpse king's face. His right fingernails elongated and clawed at Wang Bo's chest.

Pfft!

The nails clashed against the barrier, sparking, but still failed to breach Wang Bo's protective barrier. The corpse king was not surprised, for without such skill, how could Wang Bo have captured White Impermanence?

But relying on just a single barrier to stop his attack was nothing short of a pipe dream.

The corpse king extended both hands, his fingertips wreathed in dense black corpse aura, and struck the barrier. With a forceful tear, accompanied by a sound like fabric ripping, Wang Bo's protective barrier was torn open.

A dull thud rang out.

Before the corpse king could react, he felt a powerful impact explode on his face, and he flew backward like an arrow loosed from a bowstring.

What happened?

Half of the corpse king's head was covered in cracks, his face filled with shock. He had no idea what had just occurred or why he had suddenly been sent flying.

How had this guy managed to hit him?

The corpse king slammed into the wall of a mountain peak, causing the entire peak to tremble. Huge boulders rolled down, and the whole valley shook as if in an apocalyptic scene.

Wang Bo approached the corpse king with a cold smile. What he had just used was not magic, but the Light Speed Fist, unleashed after raising his Cosmo to the Seventh Sense.

The power of the Light Speed Fist was beyond doubt. Without the protection of a divine barrier, a few punches would be enough to blow up the Earth.

The corpse king's body was, of course, tougher than the Earth and should be able to withstand the Light Speed Fist's power. But the corpse king before Wang Bo was merely a projection; one punch had nearly shattered his head.

The corpse king came to his senses. The vast black corpse aura rolled back into his body, and the cracks in his head healed at a visible rate, as if he had never been injured.

But by the time he healed himself, Wang Bo's fist was already coming again.

Lightning Light Speed Fist!

A bolt of lightning blossomed from the void. In an instant, the corpse king was struck by countless fists. Each punch could destroy a city and shake a continent.

But the corpse king endured them all.

The layers of fortresses formed by his black corpse aura blocked Wang Bo's fists.

But within a few breaths, the fortresses were shattered by Wang Bo, and his fists nearly blew the corpse king apart.

Enough!

The corpse king roared, dodging Wang Bo's attack, and said loudly, "We are not enemies. You have seen my strength. Let us stop here."

Wang Bo sneered, "When you had the upper hand, you didn't stop. Now that you're at a disadvantage, you ask for a truce. Aren't you being too shameless?"

The corpse king was furious. Of course, he hadn't wanted to stop when he was winning. But he hadn't expected Wang Bo to have mastered the Law of Extreme Speed.

This was just too unfair.

Even in his own world, among the immortals and buddhas of the Three Realms and Six Paths, only a few had mastered the Law of Extreme Speed and could freely enter the Extreme Speed Domain.

Any immortal or buddha who had mastered this law was not only astonishingly fast in combat but also incredibly skilled at escape, with few able to catch them.

Unless it was an expert who had comprehended the Law of Space.

Once Wang Bo entered the Extreme Speed Domain, the corpse king knew he was no match for Wang Bo. If his true body were here, he could put up a fight, but a mere projection was no match for Wang Bo, who had mastered the Law of Extreme Speed.

So the corpse king had to suppress his anger and said, "I admit I was wrong earlier, but don't forget, we are not true enemies. Our real enemy is the Yin Gods of the Underworld, not each other."

But just then, a massive formation suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Two colors, one of life and one of death, pervaded the surrounding void.

Both Wang Bo and the corpse king were trapped within the formation.

Wang Bo was enveloped by the color of death, while the corpse king was wrapped in the color of life.

In an instant, the corpse king was greatly alarmed. "The Two Extremes Life-Death Formation!"

At the same time, a man wearing a crown and a dragon robe suddenly appeared beside White Impermanence. After rescuing the imprisoned White Impermanence, he gazed at Wang Bo and the corpse king with full authority.

"Indeed, this is the very Two Extremes Life-Death Formation that once suppressed you deep in the Underworld, preventing you from ever rising again."
