147: The goddess of war Sekhmet!

Because the death energy within it was suppressed, the Thoth Statue no longer had time to release an Undead-type Spell, so it hesitated no longer and activated three pages of the nether book.

The next second.

Above the temple, countless deep gray arrows, wrapped in an aura of decay, rained down from the sky, shooting overwhelmingly toward the Undead Lion.

[Nether Arrows]

Simultaneously, a black downpour fell from above the temple, these black rains carrying a chilling aura.

Even low-Rank King Realm beings would turn into a puddle of corrosive water if a single drop touched them.

[Corrosion Rain]

Meanwhile, more than a dozen somewhat illusory nether tentacles, exceeding 30 meters in height, extended from the ground.

As soon as these tentacles appeared, they uniformly slapped toward the Undead Lion.

[Nether Touch]

All three Undead-type Spells were instant cast.

Facing the Thoth Statue's powerful offensive, Chen Mo erupted with astonishing speed, easily dodging all the Spells released by the nether book.

The revival of his Mythical Bloodline and the blessings of self-regulating titles like [Berserk Lion] pushed his speed to the extreme!

Almost simultaneously, he arrived before the Thoth Statue, unleashing a Nether Claw that heavily slapped the Thoth Statue's bird face, causing it to instantly compress and deform.

At the same time, a gray nether shockwave poured out from his mouth.

These Undead-type abilities were all powers Chen Mo Awakened after transforming into his Undead form.

The Thoth Statue wanted to evade but found that the Undead Lion before it was astonishingly fast.

Coupled with the suppression from the invisible immense force, its movements became sluggish, leaving it no time to dodge.

Boom!

The powerful force directly sent the Thoth Statue flying, slamming heavily into a stone pillar.

Moreover, the nether shockwave tore a large hole through the golden robe on its chest and its nether river soil body.

The Thoth Statue wanted to mobilize death energy to recover, but under the [Suppress Evil] Domain, the recovery speed was slow.

This made it extremely frustrated.

This was the first time it had encountered such a strange Spell!

It could actually suppress the death energy within its body to a certain extent!

Before God Thoth could recover, Chen Mo's attacks came one after another!

The Undead Lion reappeared before it, its Nether Claw striking without mercy!

Boom!

The Thoth Statue was knocked flying again, crashing heavily onto the temple floor.

"You—"

Boom!

The Thoth Statue tried to say something, but Chen Mo gave it no chance, slamming it away violently with an Undead Charge.

"Nether Scourge!"

Boom!

The Thoth Statue released a Spell from the nether book, but the great lion was extremely fast; after dodging, the Thoth Statue was mercilessly slammed away again.

This made the Thoth Statue feel immense rage.

It felt like a mere ball, being violently tormented by the Undead Lion before it, completely unable to fight back!

Chen Mo grew more excited the more he fought, thoroughly enjoying himself.

He had to admit, the Thoth Statue was far tankier than he had imagined!

Despite being classified as a "mage," it had endured so many of his attacks without dying!

Truly terrifying!

It truly deserved to be a golden statue molded by the blood of a god!

"Damn it! Why is this challenger so strong!"

The Thoth Statue was furiously indignant; this was the first time it had felt so aggrieved.

It felt like it couldn't exert any power.

"If this continues, I'll truly be toyed with to death by this Undead Lion."

The Thoth Statue thought internally and decided not to hold back anymore, intending to unleash all its power to defeat this hateful trial participant before it!

"You have angered me!" (Undead language)

Having said that, the Thoth Statue continued taking hits while raising the replica nether book in its hand.

It activated all the Spells on it.

In an instant, the death energy within the Pyramid surged, forming an incomparably terrifying pressure, as if the apocalypse had arrived!

Nether Giant Hand, Withered Dragon, Shadow Embrace, Netherworld Claw, Nether Eye, Bone Dragon Summon.

Countless powerful Undead-type skills poured out as if they cost nothing.

Every single one of these could easily destroy a small-scale city.

Yet, they were all released simultaneously, aiming for only one target!

Seeing this scene, the Sphinx outside also widened its eyes, feeling startled and shocked.

"Has the God Thoth Statue activated all the nether Spells?"

Even he had never seen the Thoth Statue unleash such a terrifying attack!

Over countless years, many challengers had passed the first six trials and initiated the seventh trial.

Facing these challengers, even when the Thoth Statue used the nether book, it would only release a maximum of three Undead-type Spells simultaneously.

When he undertook this trial back then, the Thoth Statue ultimately released three powerful Undead-type Spells.

It had thought that was the Thoth Statue's "final test."

Even so, it had been slightly overwhelmed at the time.

A grand scene like hundreds of Undead-type Spells being released simultaneously was something it dared not even imagine!

The Undead Lion's previous attacks must have completely enraged the Thoth Statue, causing it to fully release all its Undead-type Spells!

Facing the overwhelming Spell attacks, the Undead Lion's eyes remained calm as it continued its fearless charge toward the bird-headed, human-bodied statue.

"It's over."

Seeing the Undead Lion "submerged" by countless Undead-type Spells, the Thoth Statue muttered internally.

It felt a slight pang of guilt.

Did I go a bit too hard?

This Undead Lion won't be blasted into nothing but dust, unable to resurrect, will it?

Although the Trial Temple contained the rule that [Trial Participants Cannot Die], it had truly struck too fiercely this time!

This was the first trial participant to enjoy such "treatment."

However, the next second, the Thoth Statue's pupils dilated.

Because the hundreds of Undead-type Spells it had released had completely vanished without raising a single ripple, as if they had never existed!

And, of course, there was the Undead Lion that had once again charged right in front of it.

Chen Mo released a Nether Claw, slapping the Thoth Statue across the face again, shattering half its face while simultaneously slamming it heavily into a temple pillar.

The immense force caused the pillar to snap directly and collapse onto the ground.

"What kind of Spell is that!?"

God Thoth was stunned.

Subsequently, it felt its consciousness blurring.

It seemed it was about to fall into slumber again.

This challenger was excessively strong!

Before falling asleep, it wanted to know what ability eliminated its hundreds of Undead-type Spells.

"Stop War."

Chen Mo found the statue rather pitiful, so he kindly answered its question, then gave it another heavy claw strike.

Stop War is also a large-scale rule-based ability that can nullify all Spells within its range.

After his Transcendent Rank was no longer suppressed, the highest Spell Rank that [Stop War] could nullify was King Realm Peak Rank!

It must be said that Chen Mo's ability severely countered the Thoth Statue's abilities.

Once its greatest trump card, the nether book, became ineffective, the Thoth Statue completely lost the ability to resist.

What followed was a new round of torment.

Boom!

Finally, after another Undead Charge, the Thoth Statue completely shattered, and the will of the divine blood contained within it was forced back into slumber.

Furthermore, this time the slumber was estimated to be quite long.

Chen Mo might have even given it a trauma.

Just like before, the moment the Thoth Statue shattered, Chen Mo didn't hesitate at all, maximizing his King Realm Domain, intending to collect the nether river soil that molded this golden statue.

The nether river soil used to mold the Thoth Statue was of higher quality, which would allow him to better comprehend the Death Origin!

However, the gravitational pull of God Thoth's essence blood was also extremely strong, so Chen Mo only managed to gather less than 1/8 of the high-quality nether river soil this time.

"With this much nether river soil, I should be able to comprehend the Death Origin, right?"

"To be safe, I should collect a bit more!"

Chen Mo thought, while simultaneously beginning to look forward to the eighth trial.

The opponents in the eighth and ninth trials would likely be even more terrifyingly powerful!

His gaze turned toward the golden statue to the left of the Anubis Statue, which was over a hundred meters tall, had a lion's head and a human body, and bore a sun disk atop its head.

This was a Goddess of War.

This was Sekhmet, the Goddess of War and the sun god in ancient Egypt mythology; legend held that her breath gathered wind and sand to form the desert.

The golden statue before him was formed by mixing a few drops of her essence blood with nether river soil.

Its size was enormous; Chen Mo, nearly 20 meters long, looked like a small cat or dog in front of her.

Outside, watching the Undead Lion defeat God Thoth, the Sphinx was filled with emotion.

No one knew the difficulty of the Golden Pyramid trials better than it did.

One must know that although the Thoth Statue only contained a few drops of divine blood, its true combat power was nearly identical to that of God Thoth at the same Rank!

Since the Thoth Statue couldn't defeat the Undead Lion even when exerting its full power.

This meant that, at the same Rank, even God Thoth was no match for this Undead Lion!?

What exactly was the Origin of this Undead Lion?

The Sphinx recalled the appearance the Undead Lion had displayed when it first saw it.

It had flowing white mane on its neck and body, and its golden pupils were filled with a mysterious aura.

This seemed to be a Mythical Beast from the East—a Suanni.

The Sphinx had some understanding of the Mythical Beasts of the East.

It knew that those Eastern Divine Beasts were all outrageously strong and possessed various mysterious and unpredictable abilities, but none were as ridiculous as the Suanni before it!

Rumble.

Inside the Golden Pyramid, the trial continued.

Sekhmet, the lion-headed, human-bodied Goddess of War, awoke from her slumber, holding a Sun Spear in her hand.

This was also a replica, of course.

Chen Mo immediately received her information—

[Sekhmet Statue]

[Rank: King Realm Peak]

[Physique: 8423]

[Agility: 6027]

[Strength: 7324]

[Divine Soul: 1735]

[Abilities: Solar Storm, Sun Fist, Sun Spear, ...]

[Overall Combat Power: 190234~212941]

[A statue molded with nether river soil as the base and the essence blood of the goddess Sekhmet as the soul, possessing a portion of the goddess Sekhmet's power]

Compared to the previous Thoth Statue, this golden statue's attribute panel was simply exaggerated.

Its Physique and Strength were even greater than his!

Moreover, its Overall Combat Power was nearly identical to his own!

And just like the Thoth Statue, the Sekhmet Statue also possessed a will born from divine blood.

"You are very good!"

Seeing Chen Mo, the lion-beast statue spoke in the Undead language.

"Truly worthy of the Lion Clan."

"Compared to Anubis, I think you are more suited to participate in Sekhmet's trial."

Sekhmet is a goddess whose combat power is in no way inferior to Anubis, perhaps even stronger.

In ancient times, Anubis exchanged a few drops of essence blood with Sekhmet using some precious treasures, which is how this Sekhmet golden statue was created.

As a golden statue born from Sekhmet's blood, it naturally hoped the Undead Lion before it would go to its main body.

"Where are the Trial Grounds?"

Chen Mo asked.

"The Sand Sea World."

Sekhmet replied, her voice hoarse and rough.

"The Inner World? I will go if I have the chance."

Chen Mo nodded.

"Enough with the pleasantries, let's fight!"

"To celebrate your arrival here, I will display my full strength!"

Intense Battle Intent flowed from the golden statue's eyes.

She inherited the warlike nature of Sekhmet, the Goddess of War.

"Just as I wished."

Chen Mo said calmly.

The Suanni Battle Method he created was still incomplete, and he needed an opponent to continue training.

Whoosh!

As soon as his voice fell, the Sekhmet Statue forcefully swung the replica Sun Spear in her hand.

The Sun Spear erupted with dazzling light, wrapped in intense heat and fervor, speeding toward Chen Mo at an astonishing velocity.

Chen Mo captured the trajectory of the Sun Spear and dodged it at the critical moment, but the flames it carried still made him feel like his entire body was being burned.

This weapon had a significant offensive effect against Undead beings; it severely countered them!

After narrowly dodging the attack, Chen Mo quickly approached the lion Goddess Sekhmet Statue while simultaneously releasing the Evil-Suppressing Domain, then brought down his Nether Claw.

The Sekhmet Statue did not retreat or dodge; instead, she actively threw a punch.

Shockingly, the [Suppress Evil] Domain did not have much effect on her!

Boom!

The Nether Claw and Sun Fist struck their opponents simultaneously!

The immense force directly blasted Chen Mo thousands of meters away, collapsing a giant temple pillar.

However, due to the blessings of [Otaku Happy Lion] and [Taotie Lion], Chen Mo's Physique had reached an incomparably formidable level, not yielding much even compared to Calamity-Rank beings!

The bones throughout his body were incredibly hard.

This overwhelmingly powerful blow was merely a "surface wound" to him.

On the other side, Sekhmet also did not sustain much damage.

The divine blood granted her astonishing Physique and recovery ability.

"Not bad!"

Sekhmet praised him, her Battle Intent soaring in her eyes as she charged toward the Undead Lion again.

Simultaneously, the replica Sun Spear seemed to possess a life of its own, pulling itself out of the ground and once again transforming into a streak of light, flying toward Chen Mo.

Chen Mo swiftly dodged, appearing behind Sekhmet before she realized it.

He swung his claw, releasing a Nether Claw.

The Sekhmet Statue's reaction was also extremely fast; she threw a punch backhanded over her shoulder.

Chen Mo, however, accelerated abruptly, initiating an Undead Charge while dodging the Sun Flare Punch.

The Profound Truth of the [Suanni Battle Method] lies in speed and precision.

It pushes every ounce of physical strength and every bit of spiritual power to the absolute limit!

The Sekhmet Statue couldn't evade in time and was blasted away.

Several cracks appeared on her chest.

Yet, the Sekhmet Statue's eyes were sparkling, and she became even more excited.
