I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

Boom!

The echoes of the thunderous explosion still reverberated in the air.

Shen Tian stood atop the crystal-clear ice sculpture.

Beneath his feet lay the shadow demon sealed by absolute zero, and before him stood the colossal python coiled like a mountain.

"Next."

Shen Tian's voice was very soft, but to the three beast kings, those three words were more jarring than the pronouncement of death.

The Hellscale Python's dark purple vertical pupils contracted rapidly.

What did it see?

The tiny human boy, wielding the exaggeratedly heavy black sword in one hand, had purple lightning on his body that, instead of fading, burned even more violently, like a newly lit fuse.

Fifth order?

No.

This sense of oppression was something it had never felt so apprehensive about, not even when facing Chi Xiao, who was half a step into the sixth rank.

That was pure murderous intent.

Without the slightest impurity, there was only a greedy killing intent to tear them to pieces and suck their marrow!

"hiss--!!!"

The Hellscale Python let out a mournful roar.

It was afraid.

As a peak fifth-tier beast king, it felt a chill from the depths of its soul for the first time in front of a human who had just broken through.

Can't escape.

The Qi mechanism has been completely locked.

Since we can't escape, let's fight to the death!

boom!

The Hellfire Blackscale Python's massive body suddenly contracted, then shot out wildly like a spring compressed to its limit.

It abandoned the long-range poison fog harassment.

It will concentrate all its power on this one strike.

In an instant.

Its tens of thousands of black scales stood up in unison, each scale burning with dark green demonic flames.

At this moment, it was no longer a snake.

It is not a battering ram forged from flesh and blood, but a train burning with hellfire!

"Want to fight to the death?"

A cruel smile curled at the corner of Shen Tian's lips.

What he fears least is head-on confrontation.

hum-

The heavy sword in his hand, [Heavenly Sin], seemed to sense its master's will and emitted an excited tremor.

Shen Tian did not take a single step back.

He took a deep breath, and the internal energy within him surged into the blade like a river bursting its banks.

[The Power of the Divine Elephant]!

[Innate Sword Body]!

Shen Tian gripped the knife with both hands and raised it high above his head.

In the void behind him, the phantom of an ancient divine elephant roared to the sky, and the elephant's long trunk transformed into a giant blade that reached the heavens and the earth.

Sword stance!

This is Shen Tian's power!

Sever all things, suppress hell!

"Get down on your knees!"

Shen Tian roared, and his heavy blade, imbued with the force of thunder, crashed down.

at the same time.

"Help! Save me!!!"

The Hellscale Python sent out a desperate cry for help.

It sensed it.

If this blow isn't stopped, it really will die!

In the distant ruins.

The Golden Dragon Falcon, which had just crawled out of the rubble, heard its companion's dying screams.

Ignoring the deep, bone-revealing knife wound on its chest, a resolute glint flashed in its eyes.

If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold!

If the black-scaled python dies, it won't survive either!

"Chirp—!!!"

The golden dragon falcon roared to the sky, and its golden feathers began to burn and fall off.

It sacrificed its own life essence feathers.

shhhhhh!

Three golden arrows of blood shot out from its mouth, transforming into three hundred-meter-long golden spears in the air. Their speed exceeded three times the speed of sound, aiming straight for Shen Tian's brow, throat, and heart.

This is its ultimate survival skill—the Dawnbreaker Spear!

Even the protective aura of a fifth-tier expert is as fragile as paper in front of these three spears of light.

at the same time.

The shadow demon sealed within the ice sculpture was also struggling frantically.

Click!Click!

The seemingly indestructible ice coffin had developed cracks.

An invisible spiritual shriek pierced through the ice and hurtled towards Shen Tian's sea of ​​consciousness.

The two beast kings fought desperately to save the day!

On Shen Tian's body, the menacing white bone armor suddenly shone with a dazzling cold light.

【Extreme Cold Bone Armor - Ice Bone Thorns】!

Defense increased by 500%!

clang!clang!clang!

Three crisp popping sounds.

The three golden spears, powerful enough to pierce mountains, slammed into Shen Tian's bone armor.

Sparks flew everywhere!

Shen Tian's body only swayed slightly.

The three spears of light left three white spots on the surface of the bone armor, and then... it crumbled inch by inch!

As for the Shadow Demon's mental attacks?

For Shen Tian, ​​who possesses third-grade spiritual power, dealing with them was not particularly difficult.

"What?!"

The light in Jin Guanglong Falcon's eyes dimmed instantly.

Is it blocked?

How could it withstand the deadly attacks of two beast kings and emerge completely unscathed?

That is, the pause at this very moment.

Shen Tian's knife fell.

Rumble—!!!

It was a collision like Mars hitting Earth.

The black heavy blade clashed violently with the serpent's head, which was burning with demonic flames.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

Followed by.

Click!

A cracking sound rang out.

The Hellscale Python's proud black scale defense, which even high-explosive missiles couldn't penetrate, was as fragile as glass in front of Shen Tian's strike.

First, the scales at the contact point shattered.

Then the bones collapsed.

Finally... it's a clean break!

*Pfft!*

The dark green blood fountain shot into the sky, spraying dozens of meters high, like a torrential rain of poison.

The enormous snake head tumbled and flew out, crashing heavily into the ruins a hundred meters away. Its eerie purple eyes still held the terror and disbelief of its dying moments.

The enormous snake's body convulsed and twisted wildly on the ground, smashing the surrounding building debris to pieces.

But that was just a nerve reflex.

A knife.

Fifth-tier peak beast king, Hell Black Scale Python.

Decapitation!

The entire room fell silent.

The only sound was the sizzling of the poisonous blood falling to the ground.

The warriors of the Po Jun Division in the distance stared wide-eyed, forgetting even to breathe.

The golden dragon falcon froze in mid-air, trembling all over.

The frozen shadow demon ceased its struggle, its eyes, visible above the ice, filled only with endless despair.

They're so strong it's unreasonable.

So strong it's despair-inducing!

Shen Tian stood amidst the rain of blood.

【Heavenly Sin】The heavy blade pointed diagonally at the ground. Not a single drop of poisonous blood stained its pitch-black blade, yet it still radiated a chilling light.

He slowly turned his head to look at the remaining two prey.

that moment.

Jin Guanglongjun felt that he was being targeted by an ancient ferocious beast.

"Ding!"

A crisp system notification sounded in Shen Tian's mind.

[Slayed a Tier 5 peak-level Hellfire Blackscale Python, gaining 7000 kill points.]

[Would you like to consume 10000 kill points to forcibly seize the purple talent: Calamity of the Underworld?]

A hint of fanaticism flashed in Shen Tian's eyes.

He came here specifically for the purple talent on the three-headed beast king!

"plunder!"

Shen Tian silently recited it in his heart without hesitation.

[Ding! 10000 kill points deducted!]

[Looting successful!]

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained the purple talent – ​​Calamity of the Underworld!]

boom!

A chilling energy instantly surged into Shen Tian's limbs and bones.

It was different from the fury of thunder, and different from the chill of extreme cold.

It was a deathly stillness that came from the deepest hell.

A dark green ghost fire faintly appeared deep within Shen Tian's left pupil.

The system panel popped up instantly.

【Talent Name: Calamity of the Underworld】

[Rank: Purple]

[Description: You have returned from hell, wielding the power of decay and curses. Rather than poison, it is more like an act of annihilation targeting the very essence of life. Everything you touch decays. You are like a Hades walking in the mortal realm; any living being that approaches you will inexplicably feel the despair of impending doom, as if their name has already been crossed out in the Book of Life and Death.]

【Nether Touch (Passive): You are immune to all poison attacks, and all your attacks (including physical and energy attacks) will inflict "Nether Poison." Wounds from those struck will become "Unhealable," and their life force will permanently drain at a rate of 1% per second. This effect ignores conventional antidotes until the target dies.】

[Feast of the Dead (Active): When you personally execute an enemy, you can forcibly detonate their remaining life energy and soul. Instantly restore 30% of your own health and refresh all skill cooldowns!]

[Life and Death Control: Against enemies with less than 10% health, you can ignore shields and forcefully activate "Instant Execution" to kill them instantly!]

The instant I saw the panel.

Shen Tian couldn't help but want to burst into laughter.

An unhealable wound!

Percentage-based health reduction!

Does kill refresh cooldown?

Doesn't that mean...?

As long as there are still enemies to kill, his [Void Walk], [Winter Funeral], [Thunderclap]... can be used indefinitely?

This is a perpetual motion machine!

The most inhumane one is the one that grants the power of life and death.

Why does it feel like I fought an ancient dragon?

Shen Tian took a deep breath, feeling the new power within his body.

He looked up at the golden dragon falcon in mid-air and the shadow demon that was trying to break free of the ice.

"You had a lot of fun just now, didn't you?"

Shen Tian raised his left hand, and a wisp of dark green ghostly poison fire ignited at his fingertips.

"Don't rush."

"Now it's your turn."

next second.

Shen Tian's figure vanished into thin air.

Walking in the void!

Refresh!

When they met again, he was already on the huge back of the Golden Dragon Falcon.
