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

The giant frost wolf beneath Shen Tian's feet had fallen silent.

The enormous wolf head rolled to one side, and the blood spurting from its severed neck, under the influence of the extreme cold, froze into tiny ice beads before it even hit the ground, scattering everywhere with a crackling sound.

"plunder."

Shen Tian's voice was hoarse, and the crimson in his eyes had not yet faded.

[Ding! 1000 kill points consumed, successfully looting the blue talent: Frostburial Path!]

hum-

An extremely cold energy suddenly surged up from the soles of my feet, running up my spine straight to my head.

Shen Tian shuddered.

The blood, which had been burning hot from the continuous high-intensity bursts, instantly became calm, profound, and even carried a chilling aura of death under the baptism of this cold current.

[Talent Name: Frostburial Path - Blue]

[Talent Description: As you walk upon the earth, all things freeze in place. When you step onto the battlefield, death spreads like frost, and the chilling end is your only companion.]

[Talent Effect: Extreme affinity with Ice Element. A "Frost Burial Domain" will automatically form within a 50-meter radius around you, reducing enemy movement speed by 40% and applying a stack of "Frostbite" every second. Attacks have a 30% armor penetration bonus and a chance to trigger "Frost Blast": dealing 500% shatter damage to the target.]

Shen Tian looked down at his feet.

A thin layer of white frost was rapidly spreading outwards from his landing point.

The once muddy and blood-stained land now crackled and sputtered, instantly becoming as hard as iron and crystal clear.

"Speed, strength, perception, stealth, and now even crowd control and armor penetration are included."

Shen Tian gripped the black and gold battle sword in his hand.

On the blade, the originally purple arcs of electricity were now infused with wisps of white light.

The fury of lightning and the annihilation of frost coexist.

Among the distant herd of beasts, the remaining fourth-tier lords had not yet gone far.

But the moment the Frost Burial Path took shape, those behemoths that were charging forward all shuddered.

They were horrified to discover that their movements had slowed down.

The ground beneath my feet was covered with a layer of slippery and extremely cold ice, and every time I stepped on it, it was accompanied by a sharp pain deep in my bones.

"continue."

Shen Tian's figure swayed.

The movement no longer left behind simple afterimages, but dozens of ice statues formed from frost.

This makes him visually unpredictable.

Just as Shen Tian was preparing to completely wipe out the remaining few stray dogs.

A sudden change occurred.

The sky, which had been overcast and pouring rain, suddenly became eerily quiet for a second.

That silence was like death gripping the world by the throat.

Even the falling raindrops paused briefly in mid-air.

"Um?"

On the cliff face, Chi Xiao's smile froze instantly.

He gripped the hilt of the heavy sword on his back tightly, his pupils shrinking to the size of pinpoints.

"Shen Tian, ​​come back!"

Chi Xiao let out a thunderous roar.

But he was too late.

Boom!

The western clouds seemed to be torn apart by an invisible giant hand, and a dark golden beam of light pierced through the thick fog, carrying a destructive pressure as it slammed heavily into the center of the battlefield.

That's the Golden Dragon Falcon.

Peak of the fifth tier.

Its size is actually not large, with a wingspan of about thirty meters, but each feather is like a heavy sword made of pure gold, shining brightly in the dim sky.

But this is just the beginning.

The ground tremors became extremely strange; instead of swaying from side to side, they sounded like a heartbeat.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

With each jump, the pebbles on the ground would leap more than three meters high.

Followed by.

An abandoned office building in front of Shen Tian suddenly collapsed.

It wasn't collapsed by a collision, but rather pulverized from the inside by an extremely domineering force.

Amidst billowing smoke and dust.

A giant python head, entirely black and over five meters in diameter, slowly emerged.

Fifth-tier peak - Hell Black Scale Python.

Its pupils were a pure, dark purple, and as it flicked its tongue, a dark green venomous mist sizzled and corroded the surrounding air.

"There's one more."

Shen Tian's spider senses triggered a frantic warning.

He felt the shadow behind him was coming to life.

A dark shadow, less than two meters long, yet capable of distorting the air, slowly emerged a hundred meters behind Shen Tian.

That was a shadow demon.

Its limbs resemble those of an ape, it has a single horn on its head, and its entire body is enveloped in a thick, inky aura.

That was three heads at the peak of the fifth rank.

In other words, the three most terrifying overlords around Jiangcheng are all here.

Command.

All that could be heard from Qin Zhenshan's communicator was harsh electronic noise.

All electronic reconnaissance equipment malfunctioned at that moment.

"Force field disorder... spatial signals are being interfered with..."

The technician slumped into his chair, his face ashen.

"That's the Beast King."

Qin Zhenshan stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, gazing in the direction of Zone C3.

Even if they are dozens of kilometers apart.

He could still feel those three abyssal malices, which were completely devouring Jiangcheng's last hope.

"Red Sky..."

Qin Zhenshan gritted his teeth.

This is not a battle that second- or third-tier players can participate in.

The center of the battlefield.

The fleeing fourth-tier lords stopped in their tracks, trembling and prostrating themselves on the ground as if welcoming a king.

The three-headed beast king formed a triangle, surrounding Shen Tian and Chi Xiao, who had just landed.

A sense of oppression.

An unprecedented sense of oppression.

Shen Tian felt his bones creaking.

The frost formed on the Frost Burial Path is crumbling inch by inch under the pressure of the Golden Dragon Falcon's sharp metallic aura.

The air became incredibly thick.

With each breath, it felt like my lungs were swallowing red-hot razor blades.

"roar--!!!"

The Hellscale Python was the first to attack.

The millstone-sized head suddenly lunged forward, and two tangible mental shocks erupted from its dark purple pupils.

Shen Tian's brain buzzed.

Even with the support of his cultivation as a [Second-Rank Spiritual Master], he still felt his vision go black and blood seep from his eardrums under this brutal spiritual impact.

This is the fifth order.

This is a gap that can no longer be bridged by simply relying on talent to advance one or two minor realms.

This is a qualitative change.

[Ding! Fifth-tier beast detected, quality talent discovered!]

[Detected: Peak Tier 5 Golden Dragon Falcon, possessing the purple talent: Soaring Ten Thousand Miles.]

[Detected a Tier 5 Peak Hellfire Blackscale Python, possessing the purple talent: Calamity of the Underworld.]

[A fifth-tier peak Shadow Demon has been detected, possessing the purple talent: Eternal Night Forbidden Zone.]

[Ding! To plunder a purple talent, you need to break through to the third tier and kill the target. Cost: 10000 kill points!]

Shen Tian's pupils contracted.

These are still too early for Shen Tian at present.

Shen Tian couldn't help but stick out his tongue and lick his chapped lips.

His heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of his chest, not from fear, but from greed!

"Purple……"

He stared at the three enormous creatures that were slowly approaching, his voice so low that only he could hear it.

"One day, it will all be mine."

Boom!

The sky suddenly darkened.

The golden dragon falcon let out a cry that pierced through the clouds high in the sky.

That's a signal to attack.

Thousands of dark gold feathers rained down from the sky like a storm of pear blossom needles, each one locking onto Shen Tian.

Shen Tian gripped the black-gold battle blade tightly, and purple lightning and frost intertwined wildly on his body.

he knows.

I only have one chance.

You must activate [Phantom Assassin] to force an evasion.

But just as he was about to fight desperately...

Suddenly, a hand appeared on my shoulder.

That hand was long and strong, with a strange warmth about it.

It was like a stabilizing force, creating a vacuum around Shen Tian amidst the overwhelming pressure that could crush mountains.

All the mental shocks.

All the sharp gold feathers.

The moment they touched this area, they all vanished without a trace, like a clay ox sinking into the sea.

"Hey kid."

A somewhat lazy voice rang in Shen Tian's ears.

Shen Tian turned his head to the side.

Chi Xiao had appeared beside him without him even realizing it.

This "greedy wolf" of Jiangcheng was casually pulling a crumpled cigarette out of his pocket.

Snapped.

The lighter's flame remained motionless in the strong wind.

Chi Xiao took a deep breath, exhaled a string of green smoke, and looked at the three-headed beast king not far away with his bloodshot eyes, speaking calmly.

"You did a good job."

"To be able to kill a second-tier character like this, when I was your age, I was still chasing girls in school."

As Chi Xiao spoke, he released his hand from Shen Tian's shoulder.

Shen Tian felt the oppressive force that was about to crush him disappear instantly, and his body regained its mobility.

He looked at Chixiao.

This man.

He was leisurely smoking in front of a beast king with three heads that could destroy a city.

The three-headed beast king also stopped in his tracks.

They let out a low roar, and their violent aura revealed a tense feeling of being on high alert in front of Chixiao.
