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

After clearing away these insolent dogs blocking his way, Liu Nian continued his journey, traversing the tomb passage deep into the depths.

Any vampire invaders he encountered along the way were instantly sent flying by a single shot. In just a few minutes, he pierced through layers of passages and arrived at the underground space of the shattered Great Tomb.

A fierce battle raged in the open underground cemetery plaza.

In the center of the arena stands a colossal NPC covered in skeletons, the legendary BOSS guarding the Shattered Great Tomb – the level 500 Tomb Lord.

At this moment, the Tomb Lord's skeleton was mostly broken, with bone fragments scattered all over the ground. The protective runes around him were dim and flickering, and his health was almost depleted. He was about to die.

Hundreds of level 500 vampire players were ganging up on him, beating him like a punching bag, wave after wave, giving him no chance to breathe.

Although several undead player squads were still desperately defending and providing support, constantly casting necromancy to block the vampire offensive, their levels, output, and defense were all suppressed, and they had already been retreating steadily, facing the imminent threat of total annihilation.

The current situation is that we can't win a fight, and we can't run away either; it's utterly hopeless.

Just then, Liu Nian burst in.

The level 650 Undead Knight's level indicator stood out brightly in the chaotic battlefield.

"Boss! A high-level undead expert has arrived to provide support!" A necromancer exclaimed excitedly, his voice cracking.

"Level 650! We're saved!" The Death Knight next to him almost burst into tears.

"But... just one?" someone muttered under their breath, their tone full of doubt.

"Damn it, we called for ages and only one came! What good is that?" The other undead shadow priest was completely deflated, his bone knife hanging limply in his hand.

The undead players who were engaged in battle watched for a long time and then realized that only one reinforcement had arrived, causing their morale to plummet instantly.

The vampire players, however, were quite different, displaying expressions of extreme alarm – because they had already received word that the undead player who had broken in was wielding incredibly powerful weapons and had practically swept through the enemy ranks, killing over 60 of them in just a few minutes!

Liu Nian remained calm, his gaze sweeping over the figures engaged in the chaotic battle. Without any extra movements, he flashed forward and crashed directly into the densest part of the vampire player group with unstoppable force!

Boom! ! !

It was as if a mountain had crashed into the crowd. Damage numbers exceeding 100 billion popped up above the vampire players' heads. The vampires didn't even have time to scream before they were smashed into a cloud of blood mist.

Immediately afterward, he raised his hand and unleashed the Dragon Seal of Ten Thousand Frontiers, a roaring ice dragon carving a path of death through the vampire player ranks.

The surrounding vampire players wanted to retaliate, so they unleashed all sorts of skills on Liu Nian as if they were free.

However, all their damage, whether physical or magical, was reflected back by Liu Nian!

As for Liu Nian, not to mention his health bar, his incredibly thick shield didn't budge an inch!

The undead players surrounding the BOSS stared in disbelief as Liu Nian swiftly and decisively slaughtered hundreds of vampire players in the blink of an eye, unsure of how to react.

Some people had their mouths open and forgot to close them, some didn't even notice when their weapons fell to the ground, and some rubbed their eyes, wondering if they were dreaming.

That's...too powerful!

Who is this? Level 650... Is someone really that strong?

The crisis was easily averted! The Shadow Priest player who had previously complained that "only one came" was now dumbfounded, his mouth agape as if he could fit an egg in it.

No, he'd seen level 650 players before, but this was ridiculous! He'd believe it if you told him this was level 999!

"Holy crap... they killed them all?" a necromancer finally exclaimed, his voice filled with disbelief.

"Those were hundreds of level 500 vampires!" The death knight's voice trembled, becoming shrill and high-pitched. "He wiped them all out by himself in less than a minute?"

"What did I say? I said the boss is awesome!" The Shadow Priest puffed out his chest, looking like he knew it all along, as if he wasn't the one who had just been looking down on someone.

Liu Nian turned around, completely ignoring the undead players, and focused his gaze on the massive skeleton lord.

The BOSS here is clearly not the mindless monster found in the wild or in dungeons, but rather the leader of an NPC faction, possessing a high level of intelligence.

【LV500 Tomb Lord Zenos (Legendary BOSS)】

It is obvious that this is the lord of the Great Cemetery, not Amenhote.

Liu Nian's gaze swept quickly across the entire underground space—altars, rune pillars, scattered bones, undead NPC guards cowering in the corners, and undead players panting and recovering nearby… but there was no sign of Amenhote among them.

Liu Nian understood: this guy had mastered Caron's teachings and would never show his true face to outsiders.

He truly "learned from Caron's true teachings," possessing unparalleled skill in hiding his true nature.

Liu Nian cannot summon Kalon yet, lest he alert the enemy.

As soon as Kalon appeared, Amenhote would definitely recognize his aura.

So he stepped forward and walked toward the Lord of the Tomb.

The undead players around finally came to their senses and quickly surrounded him, thanking him profusely with the same enthusiasm as fans meeting a celebrity.

"Boss! You're amazing! If it weren't for you, we'd all be dead here today! You saved our lives, so just say the word if you ever need anything!"

"Hey bro, you're not from a nearby guild, are you? I've never seen you before. Which guild are you in? Are you still recruiting?"

"Hey bro, can we be friends? Just let me know if you ever need anything! I may not be a high level, but I can still run errands and do odd jobs!"

Liu Nian nodded in response, but his gaze passed over the Tomb Lord and landed on the row of mummy guards behind him.

The Tomb Lord lowered its head slightly. As an NPC lord, it possessed considerable intelligence and autonomy. It had already sensed something unusual from the combat power Liu Nian had just displayed—this was definitely not an ordinary level 650 adventurer!

"Unfamiliar undead knight, thank you for your help!" The Tomb Lord's voice was deep and hoarse. "What are you looking for?"

Liu Nian's next words made him and the surrounding players tense: "Have you ever thought about why so many vampire players suddenly came to attack you?"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding undead players exchanged bewildered glances.

"Isn't it a full-scale vampire invasion?" someone scratched their head.

"What does 'big boss' mean?" someone frowned.

"Could there be a traitor among us?" As soon as this guess came out, the people around subconsciously looked at each other.

"I've heard that some vampires can disguise themselves as us undead!" someone recalled something.

"Weren't those six cities infiltrated by vampires for decades? They were finally breached from within!" someone added.

"Do we have them here too?"

Liu Nian's words sparked a lot of speculation among them.

The Tomb Lord also turned around and looked at the guards behind him with a scrutinizing gaze.

After the previous battle, he was left with only six mummy guards and a group of tomb patrollers. The guards were wrapped in dark yellow bandages and wielding scimitars, while the patrollers carried crossbows.

They stood in neat rows, motionless like statues, except for the flickering will-o'-the-wisps in their eye sockets.

Liu Nian's gaze swept back and forth, and he quickly found a clue in one of the mummy guards.

Although it looks exactly like the other five—the same bandages, the same scimitar, the same color and brightness of the will-o'-the-wisp, even its stance is identical. At first glance, it looks like a complete copy-paste.

But Liu Nian noticed a detail: its wrist guard.

Although they were all ordinary bronze bracers with similar designs, a closer look revealed that the bracers of the other five guards were standard-issue, with smooth edges and uniform patterns, clearly mass-produced. But Liu Nian was all too familiar with the texture and rune patterns on his bracers.

The three pieces of the Twelve Gods Set—the Holy Armor Helmet, the Jackal Armguards, and the Serpent God's Bite—are in this art style. In particular, the design of the gem inlaid on the bracers is almost identical to the gems on those three pieces of equipment.
