World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others

Looking at the newly emerged skill, Du Ge couldn't help but click his tongue. Damn it, could someone really derive such an outrageous skill by willingly facing death?

Why?

Why isn't friendship the second keyword?

If "No Fight, No Friendship" and "Together Through Thick and Thin" could be brought into reality, he could make the entire Qi Yuan Star his friend, achieve sainthood in the flesh in no time, and maybe even blast away the Pan-Universal Entertainment's spaceship hovering above.

...

"Brother Cheng, what's wrong?" Seeing Du Ge suddenly fall silent, Zhang Ziqing asked awkwardly, "Do you think we're dragging you down?"

"No, I just comprehended a new supernatural power," Du Ge looked at everyone and said, "In a moment, no matter what happens, don't speak or be alarmed. I'm going to test this new power."

"Supernatural power?"

A burst of wild laughter, "Too late."

A thunderous explosion came from the Demon Sealing Cave.

The stone door blew open.

All the seals pasted on the door were blasted away, and a surge of black, sinister, and icy air gushed out.

In an instant.

The black air covered the sky above Tianshi Mountain.

Then.

Five masses of black air burst out of the Demon Sealing Cave, transforming into human shapes as they exited.

There was an old man with white hair;

A female ghost in a red wedding dress with flowing black hair;

A general in armor, holding a sharp blade;

A child less than three feet tall;

And the most conspicuous, a black fox with a vertical eye on its forehead and seven tails swaying behind it, larger than its body...

"Not good."

Liu Guang's face changed drastically, and he formed a hand seal to activate the Demon Suppression Array.

But in the next second.

His body was heavily knocked away, spitting out a large mouthful of blood in mid-air.

The female ghost in the red wedding dress retracted her hand, and a voice that was neither male nor female sounded, "Idiot, since we have come out, how could we let you activate the array?"

"Little brother, did you really think we would wait for you to lift the seal?" The seven-tailed fox transformed into a black-clad girl of about sixteen or seventeen, the vertical eye on her forehead adding a touch of allure, "How can things always go as you wish?"

As she spoke.

The talisman array Du Ge had set up in advance spontaneously combusted, losing its effectiveness in an instant.

The escape of the fox demon and others brought a powerful deterrent, far stronger than when Du Ge had possessed someone.

So this is the true power of the Ghost King?

The faces of Zhang Ziqing and the others changed immediately.

"Don't harm Brother Cheng," Chen Ziyong said in a panic.

Du Ge glanced at them and activated "Together Through Thick and Thin."

The moment the skill was activated, thud! thud!

Everyone in front of the Demon Sealing Cave, including Zhang Ziqing, Luo Fan, Liu Guang, and Wu Huai, who were already prepared to die, all collapsed to the ground.

Not understanding what was happening, everyone was terrified, but at this moment, they only had the instinct to breathe, not even the strength to speak.

Not just them.

The disciples of the Tianshi Sect, who had rushed to the back mountain upon discovering the anomaly in the Demon Sealing Cave, also lost their strength and collapsed to the ground the moment Du Ge activated the skill.

Even Zhao Hongmei, who was dining alone in a hotel because she couldn't climb the mountain, had her strength drained, collapsing onto the dining table with a thud, causing the tourists in the hotel to scream in shock...

Gathering everyone's strength, the spiritual power within Du Ge surged in an instant, and his cultivation technique began to operate on its own.

Refining the spirit and returning to the void, refining the void and merging with the Dao.

Essence and energy combined.

In an instant, a crystal-clear inner elixir quietly formed in his dantian.

The moment the inner elixir formed.

With a thought, an identical yang spirit separated from his body, floating in the air, overlooking everyone below.

The primordial spirit left the body, a wonderful feeling as if he could step into the void at any moment, different from the initial body possession by Pan-Universal Entertainment, a feeling of having the world at his fingertips, his body brimming with power.

"An inner elixir?"

"The primordial spirit leaving the body?"

"How did he do it?"

"Wasn't his cultivation level just at the stage of refining the void and returning to the spirit?"

...

The Ghost Kings were shocked.

The vertical eye on the seven-tailed fox's forehead suddenly shot out a golden light, attacking Du Ge in the air, "His inner elixir has just formed, it's the most vulnerable time, everyone, join forces to eliminate him..."

The Ghost King in armor instantly grew larger, his body swelling dozens of times, and with a swing of his long knife, he slashed at Du Ge's primordial spirit with killing intent.

At the same time.

The bride in the red wedding dress had her long hair transform into countless venomous snakes, pouncing at Du Ge.

The small ghost, less than a meter tall, shook and transformed into nine babies over a foot long, sealing off all space around Du Ge, either spitting water, fire, or black gas...

As for the white-haired Ghost King, he merged into a mass of black air, which expanded and transformed into a giant skull in the sky, opening its mouth wide to swallow Du Ge, "Die."

...

Seeing the terrifying scene before them, Zhang Ziqing and the others, drained of power, widened their eyes in horror, not daring to breathe.

"You underestimate the inner elixir."

Du Ge's eyes gleamed with golden light, his Heavenly Eye seeing through all the attack routes. With a thought, he dodged all the attacks.

At the same time, he raised his hand.

Palm Thunder struck towards the seven-tailed fox.

Simultaneously.

His other hand drew a talisman in the air.

Golden light flickered.

The Heaven and Earth Net Talisman, which he couldn't draw before, instantly took shape.

With a push of his hand, the Heaven and Earth Net Talisman exploded like fireworks in the air, and a golden cage appeared between heaven and earth, enveloping everyone inside...

The seven-tailed fox and others were horrified.

The Ghost King general slashed at the cage with his knife.

Clang!

With a loud noise, his knife was bounced back, and his body shrank by at least one-tenth in an instant.

The nine baby ghosts, seeing the situation was bad, dispersed, trying to escape through the Heaven and Earth Net.

But the seemingly loose golden grid burst out with a golden light the moment they approached, bouncing all nine babies back.

The golden cage seemed to have a special restraint on ghostly beings, causing the nine baby ghosts to emit shrill screams.

"Is that all?" Du Ge glanced at them contemptuously, drawing another talisman with his hand. The Five Dragon Talisman formed, and five dragons of gold, black, white, blue, and red appeared out of thin air, roaring and charging at the Ghost Kings.

The Ghost Kings scrambled, using their supernatural powers to deal with the five-colored dragons.

Du Ge, addicted to drawing talismans, drew another talisman with a wave of his hand. The Scatter Beans into Soldiers Talisman scattered golden light, and three hundred ghost soldiers landed, joining the battle.

But the ghost soldiers' combat power was clearly inferior to the divine dragons. In the first encounter, they were beaten back into nothingness by the Ghost Kings.

On the ground, Liu Guang and Wu Huai watched Du Ge recklessly using talismans, anxious but powerless, as they were too drained to even speak.

"His power comes from others." The seven-tailed fox, the backbone of the group, slashed the black dragon with a sword, and with a flick of its tail, the hairs on its tail shot out, transforming into arrows aimed at the immobilized Liu Guang and others.

Du Ge flashed down, moving Liu Guang out of harm's way, and drew a Five Ghosts Transport Talisman, moving Zhang Ziqing and others.

But trapped by the Heaven and Earth Net, the five ghosts couldn't move them to a truly safe place.

Raising his hand, Du Ge struck out another Palm Thunder, ambushing the Ghost General entangled with the blue dragon, causing the Ghost General to tremble, the black air around him dissipating slightly, making him roar in anger.

Du Ge chuckled and asked, "Do you submit? Say you submit, and I'll let you go. We can fight side by side."

"Dream on," the seven-tailed fox snarled, "Don't think we didn't see it. After Liu Guang said he submitted, he obeyed your every word. Now, you take their power for yourself, we won't fall for your tricks..."

"You are already in my grasp. If you don't submit, I'll make you dissipate into nothingness," Du Ge said.

"Hmph," the red-dressed ghost bride snorted disdainfully, "If we were so easy to kill, why would Tianshi Mountain trap us in the Demon Sealing Cave?"

The Ghost General said, "When your Heaven and Earth Net's spiritual power runs out, we'll be free. By then, where will you go to catch us? Golden Elixir master or not, do you really think you're invincible?"

Du Ge was stunned, remembering that Daoist talismans, unlike the supernatural powers derived from keywords, had a consumption limit.

He frowned, looking at the dimming five-colored dragons, and said, "In that case, I'll just seal you back in the Demon Sealing Cave. I'll use the Upper Purity Great Cave Seal to suppress you. I don't believe you can escape. I intended to use your power to deal with other Heavenly Demons, but it seems I can handle them myself without needing you..."

At these words.

The Ghost Kings laughed. The ghost bride laughed, "Then go ahead and make an Upper Purity Seal!"

Liu Guang smiled bitterly, indeed too naive. The Upper Purity Seal and Tianshi Seal are great seals, requiring magical tools to engrave. Once engraved, they become magical tools. Even talisman paper can't bear it, how could it be drawn by hand?

Du Ge saw the odd expressions on their faces but didn't care, "Being my friend won't wrong you. Why be so stubborn?"

"Is that the fate of your friends?" The ghost bride pointed to the weakened Zhang Ziqing and others.

"After defeating you, I'll return their power," Du Ge said.

"Show us you can return one, and we'll believe you," the seven-tailed fox taunted.

"I'm not falling for that," Du Ge looked at the seven-tailed fox, and with a thought, struck another Palm Thunder at her. While she dodged, he quickly drew a Love Talisman and imprinted it on the seven-tailed fox.

Then, he threw another Love Talisman at Chen Ziyong.

The seven-tailed fox was stunned, "You used a Love Talisman on me and him?"

"Yes!" Du Ge smiled, drawing a Harmony Talisman.

The talisman light dissipated.

The seven-tailed fox's gaze towards Chen Ziyong suddenly softened.

Chen Ziyong's eyes also lit up with excitement, clearly seeing a new skill on his personal interface.

However, drained of power, he couldn't even lift his arm to open his personal interface.

But with strong enemies present, Du Ge couldn't possibly switch the "Together Through Thick and Thin" mode to return their power. These guys' spells were too strong, he feared losing the support of the inner elixir would get him torn to pieces instantly.

Noticing the seven-tailed fox's unusual gaze towards Chen Ziyong, Du Ge decided to take a gamble, shouting, "Fox demon, if you don't submit, I'll tear your lover to pieces."

As soon as he finished speaking.

The ghost bride's mocking voice followed, "You must be joking. Do you think a few sweet words and a little Love Talisman can pair them up?"

The seven-tailed fox also laughed, "Go ahead and kill him."

Du Ge hesitated for a moment, then drew a Five Thunder Talisman and struck it at Chen Ziyong.

Now.

The Palm Thunder from his yang spirit was too powerful, he feared it would kill Chen Ziyong.

But the power of the Five Thunder Talisman was fixed, and with Chen Ziyong's recovery ability, it wouldn't kill him.

The seven-tailed fox sneered as Du Ge struck Chen Ziyong with the Palm Thunder.

But in the next second.

Her smile froze.

Because.

She found herself involuntarily flashing over, shielding Chen Ziyong and taking the Five Thunder Talisman head-on.

The sudden scene shocked everyone.

The world fell silent.

At this moment.

The Ghost Kings even forgot to counter the weakening five-colored dragons, staring blankly at the fox demon who had shielded Chen Ziyong, all dumbfounded.
