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

Kalon floated toward Amenhote, his pale bone staff held horizontally in front of him.

Amenheth took a step back, gripping the Eye of Horus scepter tightly, flames burning fiercely in the gem at the top of the scepter.

The outcome of this battle was completely predictable.

First, there's the level advantage; Kalon is a level 602 eternal boss, plus Liu Nian's attribute bonuses and the invincibility of friendly units within the Heavenly Punishment Domain, plus Liu Nian's presence to provide support.

Amenhote's actual level is still 199. It's unclear whether this is due to system limitations. Liu Nian speculates that it might be because he is going to become the leader of a force in the Netherworld. Before this major event ends, his level should not change. This is why he is hiding.

Kalon slowly raised his pale bone staff, and dark purple light exploded from the top of the staff, condensing into a rotating energy vortex in the sky above the underground space.

From within the vortex, countless undead creatures surged forth from the void—skeleton warriors, death knights, liches, ghosts, abominations, bone dragons—densely packed, overwhelming, their sheer number enough to make one's scalp crawl.

Although these undead were severely burned by the holy light within the Heavenly Punishment Domain, they also gained the characteristic of being immortal as allies within the domain. So, they roared in pain and charged towards Amenhote under Karon's command!

Amenhot was in a terrible state; not only was he scorched and smoking by the Holy Light, but even his summoned creatures were destroyed by the Holy Light the moment they appeared...

Only the twelve divine avatars could barely move within the Heavenly Punishment Domain, and Amenhote himself, relying on the power of the Eye of Horus, could barely resist the Holy Light.

As for the other undead players and tomb lords in the area, they had long since become lambs to the slaughter, and were casually and remotely killed by Liu Qing!

Liu Nian gathered up the dropped equipment and items, while Kalon had already transformed into the Grim Reaper, wielding a giant Death Scythe and unleashing a furious barrage of attacks on Amenhet!

"No...it's impossible..." Amencht's voice trembled. "I am the world boss...I am a demigod..."

"A demigod?" Charon severed Amenhote's body in one swift motion, his voice laced with sarcasm. "You never were! You were just a traitor who stole my scepter and my power! The real you is nothing more than a tiny, dried-up corpse buried in the desert!!"

Then, Kalon slashed down vertically with his scythe, splitting Kalon in two once again!

Amenhote, now divided into four pieces, is still alive!

"Kalon..." its voice was weak, "Release me...I can return the scepter to you...I can pledge my allegiance to you...I'll do anything..."

Kalon looked at him, the will-o'-the-wisp in his single eye as calm as still water.

"Traitors never deserve forgiveness!"

Caron unleashed a Death Finger, utterly shattering Amenhote and the life box hidden within his body!

The main channel of Naraku's Land was filled with jubilation:

[Passerby A: ??? What did I just see? ??? Amenhote was killed? ???]

[Passerby B: Wait, wait, wait, didn't Amenkht run away? How come he was killed again? Where was he killed?]

[Passerby C: He's gone to the Land of the Dead! Holy crap, Liu Nian single-handedly hunted down the world boss in the Land of the Dead?!]

[Passerby Ding: As expected of that man! I'm singing his praises to the heavens!]

[Passerby A: Holy crap! Liu Nian went to the Land of the Dead to hunt down the Pharaoh?! That's insane!]

[Passerby B: I was wondering why I hadn't seen anyone from the Divine Dragon Guild around lately; turns out they've been up to something big!]

[Passerby E: All members of the Divine Dragon Descendant have a permanent 15% experience boost and a 10% increase to all attributes! So envious! (drooling.jpg)]

[Passerby: Thank you so much, Liu Nian!!]

[Snakeman Player A: Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could the Pharaoh have been killed?]

[Snakeman Player B: I don't believe it! The Pharaoh is immortal!!]

[Snakeman Player C: It's fake! It's all fake! Liu Nian couldn't possibly be that strong!]

[Player B: This system announcement is fake? Are you guys idiots? Still being stubborn? Your master is dead, what are you still doing? Just wait to be dealt with!]

[Passerby Xin: By the way, does anyone know how Liu Nian got to the Land of the Dead? Doesn't that place require a pass to enter?]

[Passerby: Pass? Liu Nian needs a pass? He just punched through the dimensional barrier!]

[Passerby Gui: Can you stop exaggerating? Don't you even watch the world chat? There's a major event happening over there—the vampire invasion—the whole Southern Continent is in chaos. Liu Nian finding and killing the Pharaoh under those circumstances is indeed impressive, but it's not as outrageous as you guys are making it out to be, is it? And punching through a dimensional barrier...]

[Passerby C: Who cares if it's outrageous or not? Anyway, the Pharaoh is dead, the reward was given out, and I got it. Thanks, Liu Nian!]

[Passerby B: Thank you, Liu Nian!]

[Passerby C: Thank you, Liu Nian!]

In the channel, messages of gratitude and praise poured in like a waterfall.

Those undead and serpent players who had sided with the Pharaoh were now like ants on a hot plate...

Liu Nian turned off the channel and stopped watching, instead checking his rewards.

As Liu Nian played a decisive role in the battle against the Pharaoh and single-handedly killed the world boss, his reward was naturally the greatest in this major event!

Liu Nian checked it and was immediately overjoyed:

1. Three additional pet slots;

2. One Prismatic Skill Enhancement Stone;

3. Eternal-level pet: Dimensional Devourer Egg

4. Eternal Equipment: Lion God's Roar, Crocodile God's Knee (of the Twelve Gods)
