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

Mokade tossed Matt to her like trash.

For him, Matt's value was like bait, used to lure out Liu Nian, the fish.

If you catch it, then Matt is of little value.

But for Liu Nian, the nature of the matter was completely different!

Originally, he didn't have much personal grudge against the five transcendents. Although they had been suppressing all potential transcendents, it wasn't targeting Liu Nian personally, but everyone...

But now that the Emperor of Light has intervened to protect Matt, the two sides are truly enemies!

Although Liu Nian knew that Emperor Wuguang might not care much about Matt's life, the fact was that he had protected Matt, the guy who had betrayed the entire Blue Star!

Although Matt didn't know what was going on, he knew he wasn't dead!

Moreover, it seems that the other party is not afraid of Liu Nian!

"Hahaha!" Matt laughed wildly in his heart, having narrowly escaped death!

Life's ups and downs happen so fast, it's so exciting! He was holding back tears.

"Liu Nian! Did you see that?! I'm not meant to die! You think you can kill me? You think you can do whatever you want just because you have a little power? Bah! I'm the chosen one! I always manage to escape danger! You can't kill me! You'll never kill me!"

Liu Nian's attention was entirely focused on Mo Kaide.

"The Emperor of No Light!"

He finally spoke, his voice very calm.

Since we can't avoid it, there's no need to be afraid!

If it really comes to that, then let's just do it!

"Oh? That's quite a surprise, you actually recognized me..."

Mokade tilted his head, a hint of amusement flashing in his dark red eyes.

The demons following behind Mokade all looked surprised, especially the female demon who had captured Matt, whose expression showed a hint of astonishment.

Liu Nian said, "I believe you have also realized that this body is not my original form."

"You mean it's pointless for me to kill you?" Mokade said.

As he spoke, he suddenly let out a low, sneer.

"interesting."

He raised his right hand and gently tapped out with his index finger.

A thin, gray thread, as fine as a hair, shot out from his fingertip, incredibly fast, leaving Liu Nian no time to react—

The thin thread pierced his chest in an instant.

Liu Nian felt his heart suddenly stop, the scene before his eyes instantly turned black and white, and then—shattered.

[System notification: You have died. The Soul Resurrection scroll has been triggered, and you have been resurrected.]

"call!"

Liu Nian gasped for breath and looked down at his chest.

There were no marks on the Executioner's breastplate, but he was truly dead from that attack.

None of my immunity effects were triggered!

What about immunity and one-hit kill? What about resistance? What about health points...?

All of them are ineffective!

Is this the opponent's strength?

Mokade's expression remained unchanged, as if Liu Nian's life or death was entirely within his expectations.

The next second, his figure disappeared from the spot.

Liu Nian's pupils suddenly contracted.

Before he could even react, a sharp pain shot through his chest—

Mokade's hand plunged into his chest.

The dark golden hand tore through the Divine Punisher's breastplate as easily as tearing a piece of paper, its five fingers precisely grasping his heart before yanking it out.

The still-beating heart floated above Mokade's palm, radiating a rich golden light.

"Such surging vitality!" Mokade looked down at the heart, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his dark red eyes. "Just as I predicted!"

He opened his mouth and swallowed his heart whole.

A golden light flashed in his throat and then disappeared.

[System notification: Your maximum health has been permanently reduced by 10 billion.]

Liu Nian looked down at the hole in his chest. The holy light was rapidly healing the wound, but the feeling of being hollowed out wouldn't subside.

He attempted to activate his skill.

Unstoppable – Gray.

Dragon Seals Ten Thousand Borders – Gray.

Sleepless nights – gray.

All gray.

"Don't waste your energy." Morcade's voice came from ahead, as calm as stating the weather. "In my Annihilation Domain, I said: You cannot unleash a single skill!"

He looked at Liu Nian, his dark red eyes showing no murderous intent, only a calmness as if he were scrutinizing prey.

"You've indeed grown very quickly. To have reached such strength in less than a year—your potential far surpasses that of that angel! Therefore, I've made an exception and attacked you directly! Because I'm different from those rule-abiding guys; I won't allow any player to pose a real threat to me!"

Liu Nian did not speak.

He gritted his teeth, staring at Mokaide, his mind racing.

All skills are locked... but the Breaker can still use them!

The problem is, the other party won't give him the chance to use it!

Although he can forcibly activate the Breaker, the Breaker will be interrupted once the opponent kills him!

Moreover... Liu Nian had a bad feeling.

Why isn't this guy killing me? Could it be... that he wants to devour my life points bit by bit and take them for himself?

"Although you're just a clone, you still have a close connection to the original!" Mokaide said calmly. "So, do you believe that, based on that alone, I can drain your life force, leaving you to spend the rest of your life hiding on that wrecked ship? Hmm?"

Liu Nian's expression gradually turned serious.

If that's the case, then things are indeed a bit difficult.

After all, he can't upgrade if he can't get off the ship!

Just then, a piercing scream suddenly came from mid-air.

"Aaaaaahh ...

Liu Nian and Mo Kaide both instinctively looked toward the source of the sound.

It's Matt!

His entire body was enveloped in dark red flames, and he was burning intensely!

But the flames didn't ignite from the outside; they surged from inside his body, as if something exploded within him, burning him to ashes from the inside out.

"No—! What's going on—! Help—!!!"

Matt screamed pitifully and struggled frantically!

But the flames were impossible to extinguish; instead, they burned even more fiercely, and his body shrank, carbonized, and disintegrated at a visible speed.

This power is the Death-Giving Demonic Aura that can completely kill a player!

The female demon was gripping him, her face filled with hatred!

Liu Nian and Mo Kaide were both stunned.

What's going on?

"I told you, I'm going to kill you, not even Jesus can stop you!!"

Mokade frowned and instantly appeared in front of the female demon, grabbing her by the neck with one hand.

"Interesting," his voice held a hint of genuine curiosity for the first time, "that someone like this is hiding right under my nose... Let me see who you are."

His other hand gripped the top of her head, and dark energy surged from his palm, forcefully breaking through her disguise.

Golden hair, delicate face, azure eyes—it was a human!

Liu Nian's pupils suddenly contracted.

Lily Morgan!!

That arrogant little girl who was deceived by Matt before!

How did she end up here? And why has she become a level 500 demon?

Mokade's fingers tightened slightly, and Lily's face began to turn pale, but she did not struggle.

Her gaze passed over Mokaide's shoulder and landed on Liu Nian, her lips slightly parted.

Although she didn't make a sound, Liu Nian understood what she was about to say—

"Run!"

Liu Nian activated the Boundary Breaker without hesitation.

Its form became illusory.

Mokade's expression changed instantly.

He released Lily and reached for Liu Nian: "Trying to run?!"

But Lily gripped Morcaid's arm tightly with both hands, and the death-slaying demonic energy ignited in her hands once more!

Dark red flames wrapped around his wrists like chains.

"You—!" For the first time, Mokade showed genuine anger.

"The virtue of the nobility lies in sacrifice!"

Lily declared resolutely, "I will reclaim the dignity and pride I've lost!"

Mokade looked down at Lily, a hint of surprise flashing in his dark red eyes, which then turned into a sneer.

"You Earthlings are really interesting."

A sudden burst of extinguishing light shone from his body, reflecting the flames of the Death-Giving Demonic Energy back directly onto Lily!

A searing pain, burning her very soul, washed over her. All Lily could see were flames. She knew she was going to die here today.

"From now on... I owe you nothing." she thought.

Mo Kaide turned his head and saw that Liu Nian's figure had completely disappeared.

His dark red eyes were as cold as frost as he stared at the closing spatial rift.

Turning back, he saw only a clump of burning ashes in his hand, slowly drifting away with the wind and merging into the world.
