Seven Deadly Sins System

The black mist engulfed every inch of Chu Wuyao's figure, while some of the mist spread on the floor around her.

The floor of the black palace, which had not been affected even by the fight between Chu Wuyao and Mu Huanzhi, actually showed some changes for the first time.

Although the palace was built using countless precious materials and was reinforced by many magic formations carefully carved by many Great Magicians, the moment the black mist landed on its floor, it instantly melted.

Moreover, the black mist didn't stop there but continued unabated, melting the whole floor and even the red land below.

The mist continued "drilling" downwards as if it wanted to reach the center of this world.

Mu Huanzhi watched this happen with an indifferent expression and didn't actually pay much attention to this.

Instead, his eyes landed on where Chu Wuyao stood, waiting to see her final fate.

In fact, he believed that Chu Wuyao would have no way to deal with the mist and would surely perish.

After all, as the creator of the Headless Giant, he knew very well how strong the previous attack was.

Even if Mu Huanzhi were to use his full strength, he would not be completely sure to block it.

Mu Huanzhi was waiting for an answer and shortly after, his guess proved to be correct.

The cracks on the Holy Angel's body became more and more obvious, while it quickly became even more illusory.

In just a split second, the Holy Angel had completely disappeared from this world, as if it was erased by an invisible hand.

When he saw this, Mu Huanzhi understood that it had run out of power.

This made him even more sure about his previous guess.

With a calm expression, he used his thoughts to control the Headless Giant below.

Following his orders, the eyes of the Headless Giant flashed with a light, while it opened its mouth wide and sucked.

The black mist on the floor and in the hall seemed to have received a command, as it flew on its own and rushed into the Headless Giant's mouth.

In the blink of an eye, all the black mist had been swallowed by the Headless Giant, leaving behind no traces of its existence.

Mu Huanzhi ignored this, instead lowering his head to look at Chu Wuyao's condition.

However, he wasn't surprised to find that there was nothing there and Chu Wuyao was nowhere to be seen.

Out of cautiousness, he extended his perception, but he couldn't sense any other aura inside the hall.

Moreover, even the Brand he had made using his Authority had disappeared.

"Hmph! A mere native dares to block my way."

"It doesn't matter how strong you are. Without knowing the means of cultivators, how are you supposed to deal with me?", Mu Huanzhi let out a cold snort and spoke in contempt.

Then, he controlled the Headless Giant to take a few steps forward, wanting to exit the hall and rush to help his subordinates deal with the enemies outside.

After all, he could feel that his subordinates were dying outside and his Brands were slowly disappearing.

Mu Huanzhi didn't seem to notice that a tiny red fire had unknowingly appeared at the place where Chu Wuyao originally stood.

Although this fire should have been an inanimate object, the moment someone looked at it, they would immediately think that it was alive, seemingly a living creature.

This red fire fluctuated, following the rhythm of a human heart beating, while it quickly got bigger and bigger.

In the blink of an eye, the fire had turned from the size of a small dot to the size of a football, and then, it continued expanding.

With the size of the fire increasing and its fluctuations becoming more and more obvious, it didn't take long for Mu Huanzhi to finally notice it.

Still sitting on the left shoulder of the Headless Giant, he turned around and looked at the fire that burnt just a few meters away.

The moment he saw this fire, Mu Huanzhi's expression changed, as his intuition warned him that something bad was about to happen.

He seemingly wanted to control the giant to run and leave this place, but before he could do so, changes started occurring in the red fire.

The fire seemed to have a will of its own, as it moved and expanded, taking the form of a humanoid creature.

The creature was of ordinary height and had long hair, and it was quite slim.

Of course, since it was made out of fire, it was impossible for its appearance to be seen.

However, the next moment, the features of this humanoid creature became more and more obvious, while various facial characteristics started appearing on its face.

In the blink of an eye, the fire had transformed from a normal fire to a beautiful woman with long blonde hair and blue eyes.

As Chu Wuyao appeared, she faintly glanced at the system prompt that flashed in her field of vision.

----

[Technique: Phoenix Warrior Technique]

[Skill: Phoenix's Immortality]

[Phoenix's Immortality: After your death, you'll turn into a fire. As a fire, your consciousness will become blurry and you'll forget your true identity. If you are able to awaken your memories and understand who you are, you'll have a chance to resurrect.]

[After your resurrection, your strength will be significantly enhanced for a short period of time.]

----

Chu Wuyao only took a brief glance at the system prompt, and then, with a thought of her mind, a long blue sword appeared in her right hand.

Before Mu Huanzhi could react, the figure of Chu Wuyao disappeared, before teleporting right above the skull on the neck of the Headless Giant.

The hand that held the sword moved and she swung the blue sword forward, causing the space around its trajectory to crack like a mirror.

However, just when these space cracks were about to expand, a thin layer of ice formed around their edges and stopped their expansion.

The blue sword in Chu Wuyao's hand pierced through the air and without giving any time for Mu Huanzhi to react, it fell on the small skull that was embedded on the neck of the Headless Giant.

"Boom!"

The sword landed on the small skull, and there was no impact nor was there any counterattack.

Instead, the sword penetrated the skull easily and caused it to shatter, as if it was a piece of porcelain.

"Crash!"

The moment the skull shattered, the formation that the Demon Cult had set up started trembling, while the whole world seemed to be about to break.

Whether it was the people inside this black palace, the people on the battlefield outside, or the people in the seemingly endless land, they all seemed to feel something.

Instinctively, they raised their head and looked at the sky.

Then, they were all shocked to find that the sky was "falling".

While the members of the Holy Church were confused, the members of the Demon Cult were horrified.

They understood what this phenomenon meant.

The core of the formation had been broken!

****

When the formation started trembling, in another place inside the formation, two figures were flying in the air and fighting fiercely.

One of these figures was a young man who wore a long golden robe, while the other was an old man whose face was covered in wrinkles and his eyes were red, filled with murderous intent.

"Boom!"

The space around them shattered as the two collided before they each took a step back.

Pausing, the Holy Pope raised his head and looked at the sky that was "falling", and a smile appeared on his young face.

"My friend, it seems that I'm the winner this time.", he said and turned to look at the Demon Pope, wanting to see his horrified expression.

However, unlike what the Holy Pope expected, the Demon Pope showed no abnormal reaction and was instead very calm.

Seeing this, the Holy Pope's expression couldn't help but change, realizing that there might be something wrong.

The Demon Pope seemed to notice this change in his expression, as he looked at the Holy Pope and smiled.

"Hahaha, did you notice? But it's too late! It's too late!", he laughed maniacally and started waving his hands, causing many complicated runes to appear beside him.

"Not good!", the Holy Pope thought and he wanted to step forward and stop him, but it was already too late.

The many complicated runes moved and they gathered in the air, working together to form a strange, indescribable symbol.

This symbol squirmed continuously and took many different forms, but no matter what that form was, it was of a natural disaster.

One second it had the shape of a hurricane, while the next one it had the shape of an earthquake.

When he saw this symbol, the Holy Pope seemed to understand what the Demon Pope was planning.

"You're crazy! You want to destroy this world!", he couldn't help but say, but his words received no answer from the Demon Pope.

Instead, holding the symbol with one hand, he pressed it down.
