Chapter 180: Ancient Corpse Transformation VS Hook Snake Transformation (2)

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The black snake wrapped around Fu Jiu’s body and firmly held the talisman in its hands.

As for Fu Jiu’s storage bag, it had already been snatched away by the black snake’s tail.

He saw that there was no hope of turning the situation around on his side.

Fu Jiu could only place his hopes on his Green Hair Corpse.

However, when he saw the Green Hair Corpse’s condition, Fu Jiu felt even more hopeless.

At this moment, the Green Hair Corpse was also controlled by the black snake under Hook Snake.

After losing Lu Yuan’s secret help, the vast disparity in power between Fu Jiu and Hook Snake was fully revealed at this moment.

Observing the scene, Lu Yuan began to contemplate whether he should intervene now.

However, after a moment of consideration, Lu Yuan felt it wasn’t yet time for him to make a move.

Although Fu Jiu appeared highly perilous at that moment, Lu Yuan believed that as a person with luck, Fu Jiu should possess more than just these limited means.

To burst forth in the face of despair was the quality a person with luck should possess.

As expected, just as Fu Jiu and his Green Hair Corpse were both under control, and Hook Snake held an overwhelming advantage, Fu Jiu’s body suddenly underwent a tremendous change.

The ghost face on his chest began to move up.

Eventually, it completely covered Fu Jiu’s face.

At this moment, Fu Jiu appeared completely devoid of any human resemblance.

Not only did the muscles on his body shrink further, but even his cheeks started to become thin, revealing his well-defined bones.

The flesh around his eye sockets sank in, and even the whites of his eyes faded away, eventually turning into pure black.

There was only a hint of blood in his pupils, which symbolized the existence of his eyes.

After these transformations occurred, an indescribable aura emanated from Fu Jiu’s body.

The sensation he produced was deeply unsettling.

There was a feeling of facing something rotten.

Hook Snake watched as Fu Jiu’s situation transformed step by step, and the smile on his face vanished completely.

He looked at Fu Jiu, who was not far away, and his forehead began to sweat.

Such a situation indicated the heaviness in his heart at that moment.

This person could integrate an ancient corpse to this extent.

Could it be that this ancient corpse wasn’t a random find for him?

Could there be a blood connection between them?

Fu Jiu didn’t offer any explanation to alleviate Hook Snake’s inner doubts.

Fu Jiu began steadily extending his arms.

The previously overpowering black snake that had tightly bound him seemed unable to continue restraining him now.

As the new black snake exerted force, its scales began to crumble and break apart.

It was akin to an inflated balloon being pushed to its limits.

Although the black snake was still wrapped around Fu Jiu, it was obvious that it could not maintain this state for a long time.

It was only a matter of time before Fu Jiu broke free from the black snake restraints.

Observing the situation, Hook Snake swiftly made a decision.

He had to find a way to deal with Fu Jiu, or rather, the ancient corpse before it completely broke free.

Meanwhile, Fu Jiu’s aura was also rising.

After activating the Ancient Corpse Transformation, his aura had already been elevated to the level of the fifth transformation of the Core Formation Stage.

While his cultivation level was decent, there was still a considerable disparity compared to Hook Snake, who had already reached the eighth transformation of the Core Formation Stage.

As the ancient corpse fully took control of Fu Jiu’s body, his aura began to surge once again.

The vital energy in his body steadily decreased, while the death aura grew increasingly abundant.

Lu Yuan, who was far away, also noticed this change.

He was unaware of the exact nature of the transformation occurring within Fu Jiu.

Nevertheless, he could keenly perceive the rise in Fu Jiu’s power.

Fu Jiu had reached a level where he posed a threat to his clone.

Realizing this, Lu Yuan began to change his strategy.

Previously, Hook Snake had the advantage over Fu Jiu, but it was now evident that Fu Jiu had started to gain the upper hand.

Moreover, if this situation continued to unfold, Lu Yuan had a sense that he would ultimately have to confront someone who had undergone a complete Ancient Corpse Transformation.

At that point, even Lu Yuan couldn’t predict how powerful Fu Jiu would become.

With these thoughts in mind, Lu Yuan activated his Mountain River Array Diagram.

The power of the Five Elements Array appeared under Hook Snake and Fu Jiu’s feet.

This array’s power was subtle and concealed, and neither Fu Jiu nor Hook Snake was focused on Lu Yuan, which resulted in neither of them detecting this development.

Following the array’s appearance, the death aura that had been converging toward Fu Jiu suddenly diminished by about half.

Approximately half of the death aura was absorbed into the ground.

Only Fu Jiu himself could perceive this change.

As he looked at Hook Snake in front of him, his eyes filled with surprise.

He wasn’t surprised that this change was caused by a third party.

He had assumed that Hook Snake had discovered his use of death aura to enhance his cultivation and had found a way to impede his absorption of the death aura.

Upon realizing this, Fu Jiu made a decision.

Boom!

The black snake entwined around his body instantly exploded.

They transformed into numerous black fragments and scattered in the air.

Almost in the instant of breaking free from the black snake, Fu Jiu charged toward Hook Snake.

However, this time his speed was several times faster than before.

His speed was so fast that it almost surpassed the realm of the Core Formation Stage.

However, Hook Snake was no ordinary person.

Upon seeing Fu Jiu fiercely approaching, Hook Snake became fierce as well.

“Do you think you’re the only one with a hidden trick?”

Hook Snake roared angrily, and then black snake scales began to appear between his brows.

Then, the black specks of light scattered in the air began to rapidly gather on Hook Snake’s left arm.

A completely new left arm materialized.

Compared to before, this arm displayed numerous cracked bloodlines.

Fu Jiu’s action of breaking free from the black snake inflicted considerable damage on Hook Snake’s left arm.

After the scales appeared on Hook Snake’s forehead, the huge black snake under him also began to collapse.

Ultimately, it transformed into specks of light that condensed onto Hook Snake’s right arm.

At this moment, Hook Snake appeared to have returned to his initial state.

However, at this moment, Hook Snake’s appearance had undergone significant changes.

His upper body clothing had disappeared at some point.

His bare upper body was covered in numerous black scales.

His arms were heavily wrapped in scales as well.

The biggest change was Hook Snake’s face.

The corners of his mouth were split open to an astonishing degree, almost reaching his ears.

His tongue also turned into a snake-like tongue.

It made him look even more like a snake.

Even the lower body of Hook Snake had been replaced by the lower body of a huge black snake.

The thick snake’s body dragged his body and floated in the air.

Fu Jiu had completed the Ancient Corpse Transformation, while Hook Snake had fully activated his Heavenly Devil, bringing his body closer to the Beast of Antiquity, Hook Snake.

In a short period of time, both parties had reached a level of power close to the pinnacle of the Core Formation Stage.

As Fu Jiu was about to approach Hook Snake, the lower body of Hook Snake suddenly swung its tail.

The tail’s tip had forked spikes, gleaming with the venomous light.

In response to Hook Snake’s attack, Fu Jiu unleashed a direct punch.

Boom!

After their attacks collided, a terrifying cyclone immediately formed.

Then, the two of them transformed into blurred figures and engaged in a continuous battle in the air.

Lu Yuan looked at the battle above them and was secretly surprised.

“D*mn, luckily I was cautious enough not to intervene right away,” Lu Yuan thought to himself.

If he had acted at that moment, he might have been besieged by these two people.

His clone could handle them one-on-one, but he wouldn’t stand a chance against them in a two-on-one situation.

Indeed, one should never underestimate the person with luck in this world.

The more dire the situation, the more the person with luck could unleash power beyond his limits.

Who would have thought that these two were just ordinary Core Formation Stage cultivators?

After the seed explosion, they now possessed terrifying combat capabilities, reaching the pinnacle of the Core Formation Stage.

However, although these two people were strong, there had to be a winner in the battle.

As the intensity of the battle increased, the eyes of the two gradually turned red.

Lu Yuan thought to himself, “Fight on, you two. Fight with all you might.”

“Once you’re finished fighting, it will be my turn to show up!”
