Chapter 413 He didn't have the courage to become Nathan's enemy
Shane's expression shifted.
Nathan, hunched over, suddenly lifted his head.
Despite being wounded multiple times, his psychic essence fracturing, and the zombies and ghosts released from the Death Coffin being destroyed, Nathan's gaze remained resolute.
A slight, bloody grin even played on his lips.
"It's called the Death Coffin," Nathan's voice echoed through the clashing domains.
"What?" Shane faltered, not catching Nathan's words clearly.
"I said," Nathan boomed, "it's called the Death Coffin! It's been with me for two hundred years. From the start, it knew I wasn't anything special, but it still followed me. Know why?"
Shane didn't answer.
He didn't know how to.
Fear gripped his heart.
He saw the mocking smile on Nathan's face!
"Because it only recognizes me!" Nathan roared.
His name was Nathan, and he had been pushing his limits within the Death Coffin since the Emerging Ability phase!
No one knew how many times he had died within the Coffin, nor how he had overcome each of its trials.
The Death Coffin had accompanied him for two hundred years.
Even during his years among the Druids, it still obeyed his commands.
The Death Coffin had witnessed his growth, and he had witnessed the Coffin transform in his hands, gradually breaking free from its seal as an ability weapon to become the powerful high-level psychic artifact it was today!
Moreover…
As Nathan's cold shout rang out, the lid of the Death Coffin creaked open, and a wave of deathly energy surged out!
"Impossible!" Shane's face paled, and he stumbled backward.
Even the speed of his Slaughter Chain faltered.
Then, a figure wreathed in deathly energy emerged from within the Death Coffin!
As the graceful figure slowly opened her pitch-black eyes, even the composed Lester couldn't help but gasp.
"Moon God?"
"When did you refine the Moon God into a zombie?!"
…
The most crucial words in "Death Coffin Corpse Control Techniques" were "Death Coffin."
When Nathan had reached the Competent Force level and refined Sky Corpses, he didn't need to exert himself.
The boundless Dead Sea on the fourth level of the Death Coffin could automatically refine Sky Corpses using the souls, flesh, and bones of the deceased in a formation.
The same went for the Zombie Emperor.
Such corpse refinement techniques were rare, whether among the Druids or in the Emerald Empire.
White, a Druid, was skilled in refining corpses and souls.
The formation Arnold had used to break through to the peak of the ninth level of Competent Force had also required the blood of a million living beings.
Even for Psychics, such techniques for refining corpses and souls were horrifying.
They had once been forbidden arts in the world.
However, as these taboo techniques gradually faded into obscurity, there were no longer any true forbidden arts.
It was because of Rising Star Arnold, who possessed the White Spirit Manipulation technique, that the Druids had placed such importance on him.
And now…
A Basic Mastery corpse puppeteer had appeared, commanding a Zombie Emperor.
Only then did the world remember why such techniques had been deemed forbidden!
Even Shane, a master of psychic arts, felt a chill run down his spine!
"Moon God?!"
As the Death Coffin opened, a figure gracefully emerged.
Wasn't it the Moon God?
Her figure was as graceful as ever.
Once clad in a white dress, the Moon God now wore a black, translucent gown.
Her hair was styled with two hairpins that shimmered with starlight, accentuating her elegance and nobility.
The long gown flowed down, covering her feet, and her hands, peeking out from her sleeves, revealed black fingernails, making her resemble a black lotus blooming in the mortal realm.
All exposed skin was deathly pale, etched with flower-like runes that added an air of mystery to her cold, pure beauty.
As the Moon God appeared…
"Crack, crack, crack!"
With her at the center, a Basic Mastery domain spread outward, forming layers of frost that swiftly encased the double domain where Shane and Nathan were battling.
The psychic constructs under Shane's control were frozen one by one!
The frost the Moon God had once wielded had been more offensive, colder than the ice sculptures she now created.
But now, as a Zombie Emperor, her ice sculptures exuded a chilling coldness, as if the deathly energy within the black ice would seep through skin, flesh, and bone, reaching even the soul.
[Moon God]
[Level: Early Zombie Emperor]
[Materials: Blood and bones of millions of beings, numerous materials, Danny's corpse, Druid corpses, large quantities of Druid totem powder, Pure Land without Roots, a large portion of the boundless Dead Sea…]
[Zombie Emperor Ghost Technique: Soul-Devouring Eternal Freeze]
[Freezes the enemy's physical body from the outside in, eroding their domain and psychic power until it reaches their soul. Transformed from the Moon God's Basic Mastery spell, Thousand Miles Ice Seal, into a zombie ghost technique.]
…
The true terror of the "Death Coffin Corpse Control Techniques" lay in the Death Coffin's ability to allow these zombies to inherit some of their former techniques, magic formulas, and even Basic Mastery techniques.
These were then transformed into different techniques and formulas due to the infusion of ghostly energy.
Sensing the aura emanating from the Moon God, Mike's expression was a mixture of emotions.
When Nathan had broken through, he had thought Nathan had caught up to him.
But now, not only could Nathan fight Shane for an entire day, but he had also somehow refined the former Moon God into a Zombie Emperor!
Beside him, Lester stared at the Moon God.
A flicker of killing intent crossed his eyes, but he let out a sigh and made no move.
Lester couldn't afford to act rashly.
He had initially wanted to use Nathan.
But with the appearance of the Moon God, he sensed the terror of Nathan's "Death Coffin Corpse Control Techniques" and the strangeness of that Coffin.
He knew that Nathan was a truly monstrous existence!
"No wonder, no wonder some in the Emerald Empire wished for the Blackwood family's swift demise, and the Heavenly Path wanted to eliminate the Blackwood prodigy as soon as possible. Perhaps I should have…" he murmured, glancing at Nathan, who seemed not to notice him.
At least for now, he didn't have the courage to become Nathan's enemy.
On the battlefield…
Neither Nathan nor the Moon God had any intention of wasting words on Shane!
With the Moon God's arrival, the battle against Shane resumed.
In an instant, within the formation Lester had erected, the Moon God's Soul-Devouring Eternal Freeze transformed the battlefield into a domain of ice.
Back in Azure Cloud Border Town, the Moon God had felt that Owen and Daoist Bill had countered her.
But now…
The Moon God no longer possessed her former consciousness.
As the ice domain spread, her face was as beautiful as a blooming white lotus.
Her psychic power might not surpass Shane's, but her ice domain could freeze all of his psychic constructs.
Even Shane's Slaughter Chain was now encased in black ice, its gears jammed.
"Damn it!" Shane cursed.
He had been pursuing Nathan, confident in his numerous and powerful psychic constructs.
But with the Moon God's arrival, the Slaughter Chain could no longer lock onto Nathan.
He now faced Nathan, who was simply and directly swinging the Death Coffin at him!
Zombies and Dead Souls crawled out of Nathan's domain, relentlessly trying to block his path.
The Moon God's Soul-Devouring Eternal Freeze and Nathan's Soul Scourge constantly eroded his body and soul.
With each passing moment, he could feel himself weakening…
