Now there was an army of Undead snakes, equally comparable to, if not greater than, Ray's own summons.

Of course, Ray's armies had a terrifying attribute: they couldn't be killed as long as his Mutation Energy remained; they would regenerate from any attack.

This was a key advantage that would likely work in his favour.

With that, the two armies clashed without hesitation or delay.

The sky was instantly plunged into chaos, one side enveloped by an eerie darkness, the other covered by a green mist.

Kikyo casually extended her paws, a smirk on her face as her whiskers tingled. An invisible force spread from her outstretched palm, instantly knocking out twenty large snakes, which fell to the ground with lifeless eyes.

"You may be fast and agile, but we cats are simply better, Nya!"

Instantly breaking and erasing their life from existence.

"I am the top predator in the wild, while my ancestors live in cages. We live by ruling the humans who rule the world. We are the true rulers of the world, nya!"

Kikyo's expression turned smug as she nodded, arms folded.

But right before her eyes, she froze. The lifeless bodies of the fallen snakes turned into mist and floated back into the sky, coming completely alive once again.

Their eyes gleamed with amusement as they hissed, staring directly at Kikyo.

"What the hell is going on, Nya?!" Kikyo was stunned and shocked, her paws retracting and her pupil dilated in shock.

Ray watched the scene with a scowl. "Even a celestial being was injured when we used soul manipulation—though she had my help. That should have been enough to erase their existence, but now…"

His pupils darted toward the snake, and he immediately noticed something that raised his brows.

"It became slightly dazed, and its power decreased a little."

Ray snickered as he charged forward, the entire surroundings changing in the blink of an eye as countless attacks fell from the sky, accurately landing on the snake while he casually punched.

Creak!

A thin crack appeared in the snake's armour as Ray applied more power, but unfortunately, that was all he could do.

The Immortal Snake's eyes followed Ray with utter rage as it opened its jaws and hurled a mouthful of poison toward him.

Ray quickly backed away with wide eyes. "This poison is terrifying."

Suddenly, he paused, his voice cut short as he looked at his hand, which had already turned completely green. The poison was spreading rapidly throughout his body, showing no sign of stopping.

Ray could feel it—every nook and cranny of his hand, and every part of his being, was being destroyed at an alarming rate even his Physique which had already reached the Celestial Level couldn't stop this.

Before he could react, Ray's entire muscular body had turned green, and his muscles were deteriorating by the second.

"Self Heal," Ray shouted repeatedly. "Transfer pain."

His Mutation Energy worked frantically to heal him, but the rate of destruction in his body was faster than the rate at which he could recover.

Ray's hand trembled, and his back shuddered. No matter what he tried, there seemed to be no way to stop the poison, and it had already spread throughout his entire body.

With the poison rapidly destroying all his organs without mercy, Ray felt like he was dying every second, powerless to stop it.

"Is this a Poison Law skill?" Ray had already formed some ideas about what he was facing.

Everything in this world is dictated by the laws of physics—whether it's the power of gravity or the way things are. This is because of the fundamental laws of the universe, and if someone could bend these laws, they would truly be invincible.

The laws of poison might be similar to skills like Lord of the Sky or Sword Grandmaster, but different at the same time, something even more terrifying.

Hiss!

The snake shot forward, lunging at Ray with its jaws wide open as if it intended to swallow him whole.

Ray frowned as he stared at the approaching snake.

"Oh, well."

These words escaped Ray's lips, and the snake immediately froze in mid-air. Its jaws snapped shut, and terror filled its vertical pupils as it decisively turned and fled.

It slithered across the sky, desperate to put as much distance as possible between itself and Ray.

"You can run, but you can't hide," Ray said, his gaze fixed on the snake's retreating form.

He extended his hand, and a curved saber appeared in his grip.

The weapon radiated a terrifying presence that made Ray's heart race. Its long, dark blade was curved, with subtle markings etched into its surface, and its razor-sharp edge felt as though it could slice through the very fabric of reality itself.

The handle, wrapped in weathered black leather, provided a firm grasp as Ray held it.

This felt like a weapon born to be wielded by Ray and Ray only.

"What a terrifying weapon," Ray muttered as he glanced at the saber. He gripped it with both hands, raising it toward the sky, aiming at the fleeing Immortal Snake.

With one decisive stroke, he slashed downward.

A crescent-shaped arc of saber shot through the sky, growing larger with each passing second. But what was even more terrifying was how reality itself tore apart, leaving a pitch-black void in its wake.

"This… this is something my Space Mastery skill could do…" Ray mumbled, his expression stunned.

The difference was that Ray's skill allowed him to manipulate space through understanding, and even then, it was extremely limited. But this slash forcefully tore through the very fabric of reality itself.

The saber in Ray's hand rapidly began to disintegrate, turning into dust that floated into the air as he watched with disappointment.

"I will get a much better weapon in the future," he consoled himself while trying to suppress the poison. He also cast a cold glance at the snake in the distance.

"It's impossible for you to dodge this."
