Seizing Destiny From Heavens Hands - Chapter 525: As Long as I Can Reach That Place…

“Trying to run?”

Shen Mo sneered.

An Zhou was indeed fast.

But compared to the Xibai Ju, he was like a snail.

Without hesitation, Shen Mo used his spiritual power to activate the Xibai Ju Manifestation.

He was different from other Manifestation Realm experts.

Normally, Manifestation Realm experts would only activate their manifestation twice in a single battle.

Any more, and it would harm their foundation.

Unless faced with a life-and-death situation, they would never activate their manifestation a third time lightly.

But Shen Mo was different.

His spiritual power was vast as the sea, his blood energy robust as a mountain—more than enough to support the consumption of manifestations.

Let alone three times, even four or five times, he could still manage.

“Xibai Ju Manifestation!”

“Heaven-Stepping Phantom Step!”

The moment the extraordinary Xibai Ju appeared, Shen Mo’s feet seemed to be swept up by a violent wind.

One moment he was in place.

The next, he appeared right behind An Zhou.

A sense of mortal danger suddenly struck An Zhou’s heart.

The shadow of death enveloped him.

Without thinking further, he flung out a large amount of curse powder from his bosom.

He didn’t hope to injure Shen Mo—just to slow him down.

He knew full well his own strength.

Though both were Lords of Authority, he specialized in long-range curse-killing, not direct combat.

Moreover, he’d expended a great deal of Malediction Power earlier to attempt a sacrificial curse-killing.

And he still failed to kill Shen Mo and had to stop.

The heavy consumption of malediction power and demonic energy left him with no other choice.

He could only run!

Now, he dumped out all the curse powder he’d prepared over the years in one go.

He had just one goal: delay Shen Mo and buy himself a chance to escape.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The curse powder exploded.

Various mists spread everywhere.

Shen Mo immediately felt his whole body grow heavy.

His head grew a little dizzy, his thoughts sluggish.

His spiritual power and blood energy circulated poorly.

His skin dried out, his muscles slackened and lost strength.

It was as if endless negative effects piled onto him.

All meant to slow him down, wear him out, kill him!

Seeing the curse powder take effect, An Zhou let out a strange laugh.

But he didn’t say anything more—instead, he picked up speed and fled.

As long as he could escape the battlefield and enter the depths of the sixth layer, he would survive!

“As long as I can reach that place, as long as…”

An Zhou stared ahead.

A demon palace was already faintly visible.

That was the Sixth Demon Palace, An Chen’s domain.

With his own life at stake, An Chen would surely not sit by and do nothing.

Whoosh!

The Undying River Manifestation appeared.

Invisible currents washed over Shen Mo’s body, sweeping away every negative effect.

Shen Mo’s speed soared to the limit.

In a flash, he appeared right behind An Zhou.

“It’s time to go.”

Shen Mo’s voice sounded like the voice of death.

An Zhou’s body froze.

In the next instant, the Ancient Sword of the Void appeared out of nowhere and pierced straight through An Zhou’s chest.

Icy white flames began burning from his chest.

In an instant, they swallowed An Zhou whole.

“I know your demon heart is not your only one, so I let the Nine Nether Ice Flame appear directly,” Shen Mo said calmly.

An Zhou reached out, wanting to say something.

Thı𝕤 𝙘hа̄p𝖙℮r 𝗂𝘴 p𝖔ѕƚ𝘦ɗ bყ 𝖪𝖎ƚɛ𝖓𝟬𝖛𝓮𝑙

But his head was already engulfed by the Nine Nether Ice Flame.

The last bit of Malediction Power he tried to use was devoured as well.

Within just a few breaths, An Zhou collapsed completely in the icy white flames.

His massive shark-like body and eight pairs of limbs melted away like ice and snow in a blazing fire, leaving not a trace.

Off in the distance, the two demon emperors who had been battered until only half their bodies remained looked at each other.

And ran for their lives!

They hadn’t known what Shen Mo’s true strength was before.

But now they did.

Even the dignified Fourth Grand Archdemon and Lord of Authority wasn’t his match.

What was the point in risking their lives?

Running was the only option!
