Full health is the kill threshold, no matter if you're a god or a demon!

They didn't even manage to touch Liu Nian's clothes, leaving only a mess and dissipated death energy.

Immediately afterwards, a silvery, moonlit light emanated from Liu Nian's fists—[Vast Mind]!

He moved like lightning, rushing into the horde of the dead!

With a swing of his fists, he drew graceful yet deadly silver crescent-shaped arcs of light! Each punch was like a tangible cutting blade, sweeping across the fan-shaped area in front of him!

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

- 1658412!

- 1712335!

-1701998!

……

Wherever the silvery moonlight arc reached, the dead fell in droves like stalks of wheat being harvested by a scythe!

Whether it's skeletons or rotting corpses, they all appear incredibly fragile in the face of this horrific damage.

Liu Nian was like a tiger among sheep, his fists and feet crushing everything in his path!

These undead creatures looked numerous, a dark, swarming mass, but they were no match for Liu Nian!

In just a few breaths, the hundreds of undead that surged ashore were torn apart by him with the simplest and most brutal punches and kicks, leaving behind a mess of broken bones, mangled flesh, and fallen souls.

Just as Liu Nian finished clearing out the last few fish that had escaped and was preparing to call the Echo Crab into the water—

"Gurgle..."

From the depths of Yong'an Lake, a deep, distant sound of surging water could be heard.

Immediately afterwards, the surface of the deepest, darkest part of the lake began to rise violently!

The shadow of a colossal creature is rising from the lakebed at an astonishing speed, and the pressure of breaking through the water's surface makes the surrounding lake water churn as if boiling!

"Whoosh—!!"

The dark green lake water was as if it had been cleaved open by an invisible giant blade, and a huge shadow, carrying towering waves, rose fiercely from the surface!

Liu Nian stared intently, his pupils contracting slightly.

That was a giant skull whale, as big as a small hill!

Its skeleton has an eerie color that is a mixture of pale white and dark green, as if it has been soaked in lake water for a long time. Countless algae and parasitic undead creatures are attached to its skeleton.

Within the enormous, hollow eye sockets, two balls of cold, eerie blue soul fire burned.

What's even more eye-catching is the figure standing atop the giant skull of the skeletal whale.

He wore a tattered, jet-black robe with silver trim and held a pale bone staff that looked as if it were made from the spine of some giant sea monster.

His body was not a complete skeleton, but a half-rotten lich form, with skin clinging tightly to the bones, appearing bluish-gray, and exposing the stark white bones in some places.

His face was even more horrifying—half of it was a skull covered with withered skin, while the other half contained rotting muscle and a single, intact eye burning with ghostly blue soul fire!

【Lv.92 Lord of Eternal Dark Lake, Whale Rider, Kalon BOSS (Legendary)】

As soon as Kalon appeared, his single, dark blue eye locked onto Liu Nian on the shore, his gaze cold and unwavering.

Without uttering a word, he gently swung the pale bone staff in his hand.

"Splash—!"

Above the lake, around the skull whale, the dark green water suddenly spun and bulged violently!

Five giant water elements, each over five meters tall and composed entirely of viscous, dark green lake water, rose from the vortex!

They have no fixed shape, resembling giants of constantly churning sewage, exuding a strong chill of death and a corrosive aura.

The next moment, the five water elements simultaneously raised their "arms" and aimed them at Liu Nian on the shore!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh—!!!"

Countless dark green, sharp-edged water arrows shot out like a storm!

These water arrows are not ordinary water streams, but contain death energy and icy corrosive properties. When they streak through the air, they even leave behind trails of ice crystals and corrosive white smoke!

Its coverage area is extremely wide, almost completely blocking Liu Nian's escape route!

Liu Nian's eyes turned cold. Facing the overwhelming rain of water arrows, he not only did not dodge, but instead stepped forward into the rain of arrows!

"Pfft pfft pfft pfft..."

A flurry of hits rang out.

- 81912! - 90234! - 84567! ...

A series of damage numbers popped up above his head, but compared to his more than 30 million health points, it was like a drizzle!

"Tickling me?" Liu Nian sneered. Now that the other side's leader had shown himself, he would launch his killing move directly!

【The Curtain of Eternal Night】!

He made a fist with his left hand, and an invisible dark wave that seemed capable of swallowing all light suddenly spread out, instantly crossing the lake surface and enveloping Kalon above the skull whale's head!

however--

Just as the dark fluctuations were about to touch Kalon, a mocking glint flashed in the undead lord's single, eerie blue eye.

He didn't make any blocking or defensive stance, but simply paused slightly.

The enormous skeletal whale beneath him seemed to be in sync with his will, its massive, mountain-like body sinking down with extraordinary agility!

"Gurgle..."

Kalon, along with the skeleton whale beneath his feet, silently sank into the dark green lake, leaving only a slowly spreading ripple.

The [Eternal Night Curtain] released by Liu Nian seemed to hit an invisible, distorted barrier the moment it touched the lake surface, and was forcibly blocked and eliminated!

The skill lock failed, and the dark waves twisted and swirled unwillingly above the water's surface.

Karon's figure was completely submerged in the lake.

"Damn it!" Liu Nian couldn't help but curse under his breath, his brows furrowed. "Not again?!"

This wasn't the first time he'd encountered this situation!

The last time I tried to deal with the dwarves, this skill failed miserably, and I didn't expect it to be blocked again this time!

This skill that he thought was very strong always seems to fail him at crucial moments!

The lake returned to a brief period of calm.

After Karon sank to the bottom of the water, his aura seemed to blend into the entire Lake Eternal Darkness, making him difficult to detect.

He stayed underwater, neither showing himself nor continuing his attack.

"Playing hide-and-seek with me?" Liu Nian's anger flared. He ordered the Echo Crab beside him, "Echo! Sonic Cannon, blast that spot!"

"Gurgle!" The Echo Crab raised its huge pincers, aiming at the general area where Charon had sunk, and the sonic runes on its carapace lit up!

"Buzz—!!!"

A pale blue sonic cannonball, visible to the naked eye, whistled out and crashed into the lake!

"boom!!!"

Water splashes several meters high, and sound waves spread violently underwater, creating large areas of cavitation and turbulence.

However, there was no response from the depths of the lake.

Karon seemed to have vanished.

Liu Nian was even angrier. He opened his storage space and took out a high-explosive fire crystal bomb that he had previously seized from the dwarves for mining!

"You like to hide, huh? I'll treat you to a big meal!"

His arm muscles bulged as he hurled several fist-sized crimson crystals at the possible locations of Kalon!

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The Flame Crystal Bomb traced a parabola before falling into the water.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A series of muffled explosions came from underwater!

Huge bulges were blasted open on the dark green lake surface, and crimson flames flickered and expanded underwater, briefly turning large areas of the lake red and stirring up towering waves and scalding steam!

But... there was still no hit feedback! Kalon and the skeleton whale had vanished completely, as if they had evaporated.

Even after the eight seconds of the [Eternal Night Curtain] had completely passed, the waves rippled across the lake had not yet fully subsided.

"Splash..."

About 100 meters away from the original location, in another lake area, the water surface silently split open again.

The skeletal whaler, Charon, riding the enormous skeletal whale, leisurely and slowly resurfaced.

His single, deep blue eye calmly gazed at Liu Nian, who was somewhat exasperated, on the shore. His bone cane gently tapped the whalebone, as if to say: You fight your way, I'll dodge mine.

"Boss Gou!" Liu Nian couldn't stand it anymore!

He immediately launched a Heavenly Punishment Leap!
