The Cursed God Statue chuckled, "Whether I can do as I please is not for you to judge. Die by my hand!"
"Go!"
The next moment.
Sword wings appeared on his back.
Long swords flew towards Lin Yu.
This was Lin Yu's skill, an advanced form of sword qi, capable of forming a pair of sword wings, each sword possessing a different sword intent.
Countless swords flew, leaving only endless sword intent in their wake.
Some swords contained sharpness, some contained fiery sword intent, and others contained dullness...
Swords rained down, directly targeting Lin Yu.
Seeing his own skill fly towards him, Lin Yu was furious.
"Sword Wings!" He unleashed the same skill.
"Let me show you what true Sword Wings are!"
"I intended to kill you instantly, but since you insist on seeking death, I'll play with you!"
Lin Yu was truly enraged.
His Saint's Word talent had just been upgraded to SSSSS grade, and he hadn't used it yet.
He decided to practice his Saint's Word talent.
A much larger pair of sword wings instantly grew on Lin Yu's back, and he chanted, augmenting them with judgment and healing.
He waved his hand, and the countless swords on his sword wings shot out.
Boom!
The sword rain from both sides collided fiercely, creating a barrage of skill lights that illuminated the entire underground as bright as day.
"Die!" Lin Yu roared.
Then, he was seen charging towards the Cursed God Statue, wielding a forty-meter long sword and clad in energy shields, weathering the sword rain.
The Cursed God Statue, seeing its sword wings gradually being pushed down, was furious.
"So you can also use Sword Wings. Fine, then I shall use my curse power to make you die invisibly!"
Saying that, it ignored the charging Lin Yu and sat down cross-legged.
"Boom!"
Strange streams of light flowed around its body.
Then, they formed into eerie powers.
Lin Yu recognized it as curse power.
Curse power had a wide range of applications. For instance, when Lin Fan shattered the statue, it triggered a soul-possession curse, leading to direct possession.
And now, it was using another type of curse.
If the soul-possession curse was a passive curse requiring trigger conditions, then the curse skill it was currently using did not need any trigger.
The Cursed God Statue chanted.
"Curse returns to the soul, all is one. What is life, is all vanity..."
"Curse of Vanity!"
The next moment, it opened its eyes.
A pair of eyes, shimmering with a dreamlike glow, stared directly at Lin Yu.
Seeing these eyes, Lin Yu's heart leaped, and he instinctively stopped.
At this moment, the Cursed Black Sky God smiled and chanted:
"Human before me, your life is a vain one. You are but a bubble, a mere illusion in people's hearts. You never existed, you are a phantom of memory!"
"Therefore, dust to dust, earth to earth, all returns to peace, returns to reality. You too, return to vanity!"
As the words fell, everything around them became transparent.
Lin Yu felt as if he were not a real being, as if he were living in someone's dream.
"Am I just a dream bubble? Am I just an illusion in people's hearts? I shouldn't exist?"
"I am illusory, I was always nothing..."
His emotions sank, and he began to negate himself. Under the effect of a mysterious power, a black mist enveloped his head.
This black mist slowly descended, intending to engulf him completely.
Once consumed, he would be irrecoverably lost, turning into a bubble, existing within vanity.
This method was wicked, a way to transform reality into vanity.
It was also extremely subtle, attacking the mind, making it difficult to detect.
The Cursed God Statue, seeing Lin Yu half-covered by the black mist, showed a triumphant smile.
"You brothers are both geniuses, capable of matching Divine Kings as High Gods. Throughout history, few have achieved this, yet you did, only to die by my hand."
"This is all fate, fate has already offered you to me!"
"You are the nourishment for my rebirth!"
"Hahahahahaha!!!!"
It laughed wildly, as if it could already see itself becoming the Divine Lord.
At that time, it would be on par with the Black Sky Realm.
The more it thought about it, the more excited it became, even trembling in the end.
Suddenly!
A strange sound reached its ears.
It stopped its manic laughter and turned its head.
It saw a figure smiling at it.
That person looked exactly like its current body, smiling brilliantly.
"You thought I was dead?" Lin Yu said with a smile.
He had almost been consumed just now, almost turned into vanity.
If he had become vanity, he would have turned into a bubble, easily killed by the other party.
Fortunately, the system prompt had sounded, allowing him to awaken.
However, he still broke out in a cold sweat.
Although he was smiling, the cold glint in his eyes could not be concealed.
"Impossible! The Curse of Vanity, even the Sword Ancestor of the past retreated from it. How could you resist?"
Back then, relying on the Curse of Vanity, with a single word, all living beings in a realm turned into vanity, and with a flick of his finger, he shattered the vanity bubble, and the beings were destroyed. How glorious that was.
Even the Sword Ancestor, known as the strongest below the Great Luo of all realms, had to retreat from his Curse of Vanity.
Yet, now his Curse of Vanity was broken by someone whose strength was far inferior to the Sword Ancestor.
How incredible was this?
Although his current strength was not at its peak, the opponent was not the Sword Ancestor either.
"The Curse of Vanity is indeed terrifying. I almost fell for your trick!" Lin Yu still felt a lingering fear. "However, it's also my fault for not using my full strength. This farce should end now."
The word 'farce' angered the Cursed God Statue.
It snorted coldly and chanted.
It wasn't skilled in only the Curse of Vanity; it had many other curses of the same caliber.
The next moment, black characters flew from its mouth, sweeping towards Lin Yu.
"This is the Textual Binding Curse, it will drag you into the two-dimensional world of text, never to be reborn!"
Lin Yu shouted, "Enough!"
He waved his hand, and golden light appeared around his body.
He said, "I have a word that can purify all impurities in the world! I also have a word that can make souls cast off resentment, people cast off hatred, and the heavens and earth be at peace!"
"I say, there should be no hatred in this world, nor resentment, nor chaotic methods that steal souls!"
"Purify, and let the human world return to peace!"
The Cursed God Statue looked at him as if he were an idiot.
Did he think his words had power?
How utterly ridiculous!
But very soon, its expression changed drastically.
Because after Lin Yu finished his last sentence, golden light filled with intense purifying power surged forward.
"How is this possible! You have mastered the power of purification!"
"Damn it, this is Divine King level purification power. How do you possess such power?"
"Not good, this is my nemesis, I must escape!"
Lin Yu opened his eyes and sneered, "Where do you think you're escaping to?"
The next moment.
The golden light descended, filling the visible range.
"Ah~"
The Cursed God Statue was enveloped by the golden light, screaming incessantly.
