Kill the legend again, time for judgment! (5400)

"Everyone, retreat!" Cao Xing quickly gave the order.

At this moment, the barrier only had a little over a thousand points of durability left and was about to be completely destroyed.

However, all the combatants in the territory retreated without hesitation.

Just as they were retreating.

"Boom!!!"

A towering column of blood-red flames surged from the blood pool, shooting straight up several meters into the air!

It was like a nuclear bomb detonating on the spot, the terrifying momentum making everyone's brain buzz.

Legendary-level energy fluctuations radiated from within it!

Because Braum was relatively slow and was at the very front when the explosion occurred, he didn't have time to retreat.

He was instantly engulfed by the blood flames, and the terrifying impact sent the big guy flying backward.

A massive damage number appeared above his head.

[-21,627,754!]

Twenty million! If it were anyone else, they would likely have been forced into a resurrection by this single blow.

Everyone looked at the inside of the barrier with grave expressions.

"Cough, cough, cough—"

Accompanied by a weak coughing sound.

Inside the blood-red barrier ahead, a figure wearing a gray robe gradually emerged.

His posture was hunched, and his steps were somewhat unsteady.

As he slowly walked out, the face hidden under the shadow of his hood gradually became clear.

A pale, haggard face appeared.

"Little ones, your reactions are quite fast—"

Cao Xing instantly realized that this was a Legendary camping near the barrier!

However, this guy's state seemed a bit off.

The aura on his body was extremely chaotic, like a flickering candle in the wind, which could be extinguished at any moment.

The Ice Crystal King in the sky said while fighting the enemy, "I wondered who it was. So it's the guy who tried to sneak attack the Eternal Frost Main City last time and ended up being split in half by my sword."

"You're injured like this and you still dare to come out? Aren't you afraid of being cut down by me?"

Yes, this person was another Elder of the Watchers, Bloodfire!

"Cough, cough—"

A series of hoarse coughs came; he seemed to have not yet recovered from his previous serious injuries.

Elder Bloodfire ignored the Ice Crystal King in the sky and looked at Cao Xing.

"Cough, cough—it's fortunate that the Leader, just in case, had me camp inside the barrier."

"Now it seems this decision was extremely wise."

"However, what I didn't expect was that this accident would be caused by you, an Otherworld Lord."

His tone carried a hint of surprise and lamentation.

"Last time, Elder Dark Crow's assassination attempt failed."

"This time, I will finish you off with my own hands."

After speaking, he raised his right hand, and a terrifying blood-red flame gradually condensed.

The moment the flame appeared, the surrounding air felt slightly distorted.

As the flames rose, it was as if the chill of the entire main city was dispelled, and the temperature suddenly rose by more than a dozen degrees.

Besides extreme heat, it also contained a kind of strange energy that made people feel their blood boiling.

A sense of crisis emerged in Cao Xing's heart.

If this blow landed, his side might suffer some damage!

He must interrupt this skill, or simply finish off this Legendary in one go!

He quickly glanced at this guy's Health Points.

[Health Points: 95.32 million / 284 million]

Seeing this, a smile instantly appeared on the corner of Cao Xing's mouth.

"Damn it, I thought you were so tough!"

"You dare to wander out with so little health? Are you really in such a hurry to die?"

The moment he finished speaking, Cao Xing raised his staff and directly used the Forbidden Spell—Frost Crystal Prison · Ice Burial!

"Hum!!!"

Pieces of dark blue meteorite fragments instantly appeared, each radiating extreme cold, as if summoned from the distant Frost Abyss!

These fragments, carrying boundless might, slammed directly toward this low-health Legendary!

Bloodfire seemed to sense something and wanted to interrupt the action in his hand and flee.

But it was already too late.

As the meteorite fragments surrounded him, the terrifying cold radiated, making his body increasingly stiff.

In the blink of an eye, this Legendary powerhouse was completely sealed inside that massive dark blue meteorite!

Seeing this, almost without Cao Xing needing to say anything, everyone else launched fierce attacks!

"Roar!!!"

An ancient roar sounded, and the defense of this Watchers Legendary instantly dropped by 30%.

Then, Andrew, transformed into a Behemoth, pounced over, and with a few consecutive swipes, reduced the opponent's armor by another 60%.

Elder Bloodfire's defense had been reduced to the minimum!

Everyone else launched attacks like a torrential storm!

"Hum!"

A red shadow instantly flashed by, like a blood-stained sunset; it was Valkyrie Malenina.

She used her burst skill—Lotus · Sword Dance!

And not just once, but three times in a row!

Including the others, they all unleashed their strongest output!

[-568,367!]

[-783,215!]

[-669,234!]

[-658,923!]

[-1,496,266!]

[-884,255!]

Terrifying damage numbers appeared above Bloodfire's head.

The control time lasted for two seconds, and dense cracks had already appeared on the massive meteorite.

He quickly glanced at the Health Points.

[Health Points: 31.05 million / 284 million]

Cao Xing frowned slightly.

"Did this burst only take off 60 million of this guy's health?"

After thinking about it, this was normal.

Previously in the territory, one burst could only deal about 90 million.

That was because they had the help of many arrow towers and siege equipment, as well as the 50% critical hit rate bonus from the [Land of Glory] title.

Now that it was just their core combatants here, the damage was naturally greatly reduced.

Meanwhile, the control time of [Frost Crystal Prison] had completely ended!

The meteorite was also about to collapse.

At the last moment, Cao Xing detonated all the energy contained within the meteorite on the spot!

"Boom!"

[-5,352,593!]

After the violent explosion, another huge damage number appeared.

Elder Bloodfire was blasted flying backward, tumbling several times in the air before barely stabilizing his figure.

"Cough, cough, cough—"

He coughed a few times, his voice carrying a bit of weakness and anger.

Raising his head, his gaze fixed tightly on Cao Xing.

"Kid—you really have some tricks; I almost fell into your hands."

"However—I won't give you another chance!"

He slowly stood up, the blood-red flames around him rising again, and a terrifying sense of oppression surged forth!

Seeing this, Cao Xing's heart sank slightly; he felt a bit of regret that the previous burst hadn't killed him instantly.

But he quickly adjusted his mindset, a flash of determination in his eyes.

"Forget it, time to use the second trump card!"

"Even if it costs a few Divine Power Shards, as long as I can finish this guy off, it's a huge profit!"

After all, this guy is a Legendary powerhouse; if killed, there's a high probability of dropping a Legendary Heart of Strength!

After making the decision, a strange Lizardman statue appeared out of thin air in Cao Xing's hand.

Elder Bloodfire looked at the statue, and a sense of crisis instinctively appeared in his heart.

Even the Watchers Leader, who was fighting in the sky, sensed the power of this eerie statue.

He quickly locked onto Cao Xing, then looked at the Lizardman Chieftain who was fighting him, seemingly realizing something.

He warned as fast as he could, "Bloodfire, get away from there!"

However, his warning was a step too late!

Cao Xing took out two Divine Power Shards from his backpack.

During this time, the Lizardman statue had recovered 12 points of divine power; adding these two, it reached 32 points.

Then, he unhesitatingly used the skill with the fastest burst and largest range—Sky-Rending Claw.

"Hum—" A giant lizard appeared with an aura of savagery.

Its body size reached thousands of meters, more than ten times that of the Lizardman Chieftain, and its pair of ghostly green eyes seemed capable of devouring everything!

It raised that giant sharp claw and violently swung it forward!

"Swish!"

A terrifying claw shadow seemed to tear through space!

Starting from the palace, it extended all the way to the snowy ground seven or eight kilometers outside the city walls!

All buildings, trees, and the hundred-meter-tall city walls along the way were instantly torn apart, as fragile as paper.

Elder Bloodfire didn't even have time to react before he felt a terrifying force sweep over him.

He stared blankly down, looking at the three bloodstains gradually appearing on his body.

Each bloodstain seemed capable of tearing his body into two pieces!

"How is this possible? How could you have…"

His voice trembled, his eyes full of disbelief!

Before he could finish his words, the injuries on his body had completely erupted!

"Pfft!!!"

A pillar of blood gushed out from his body, staining the surrounding air red.

Above his head, a terrifying damage number appeared.

[-135,982,342]

Elder Bloodfire's Health Points dropped to zero, and his body slumped down powerlessly, no longer showing any signs of life.

At this moment, the entire scene fell into silence!

Even those Demigod-level and Legendary beings fighting in the air couldn't help but slow down their rhythm of attack.

The death of a Legendary powerhouse was far more shocking than the death of those eight heroes just now.

Moreover, the one who caused all this was an Otherworld Lord!

[Successfully killed Watchers: Elder Bloodfire Lv115, Legendary creature, gained experience points: 0]

[Combat personnel gained experience points: 7,590,000]

Cao Xing let out a long sigh of relief, then put the statue into his backpack, a look of excitement appearing in his eyes.

Because he had already seen that pitch-black crystal that dropped from Elder Bloodfire after he died!

Sarah, with lightning speed, put this crystal into her backpack.

Another Heart of Legend obtained; Cao Xing was in a great mood!

Regardless of whether this surprise attack succeeds or not, he has already made a huge profit!

"Bloodfire—" The Watchers leader's voice trembled slightly.

"You were one of the first people to follow me."

"I remember, back then I was only Tier 5, while you were already a Master. We came together because of the same ideals."

"I once promised to let all humans in this world be well-fed, and to use your flames to make them feel warmth."

"But none of these were realized before you left me."

A look of sorrow gradually appeared on his face.

Looking down at Cao Xing, his eyes were filled with hatred!

In the next moment, he said coldly: "Let me send you on your way with the life of this Otherworld Lord!"

As he finished speaking, the Watchers leader instantly disappeared from where he stood.

Cao Xing felt a sense of crisis once again!

Before he could react, he suddenly felt the world before him change.

The surrounding scene gradually twisted and changed, replaced by a strange space.

He only felt a blur before his eyes, and then he found himself in an ancient and magnificent palace.

The palace dome towered into the clouds, and the surrounding walls were carved with complex runes and totems.

Directly in front, a huge throne stood majestically, with a towering figure clad in golden armor sitting upon it.

His face was covered by a helmet, revealing only eyes as deep as the starry sky.

Like a supreme emperor looking down upon all living beings!

Below the throne, countless figures knelt on the ground, pious and humble.

They were dressed in various attires, some in armor, some in robes, but without exception, they all lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at the existence on the throne.

And Cao Xing had become one of these countless kneeling figures.

All the equipment on him had disappeared, replaced by simple cloth clothes.

What surprised him even more was that the magic power in his body seemed to be completely sealed, and he couldn't perceive even a trace of it.

He tried to struggle, but found that his body was bound by an invisible force, unable to move even a single finger!

The emperor on the throne spoke: "Human rebellion, Cao Xing, do you know your crime?"

Cao Xing looked confused.

"What the hell? Is this judging me?"

And outside, those subjects were like they had been frozen, standing still without any reaction.

Facing the emperor's question, Cao Xing said nothing.

The other party waved his hand, as if making some kind of declaration, and said directly: "Execute."

At the same time, an existence clad in armor and holding a large blade quickly approached him.

A low and majestic voice came to his ears.

"Immediately, behead the human rebel, Cao Xing!"

The large blade was held high, about to fall onto his neck!

At this moment, Cao Xing had realized something.

Everything before him was a method of a Demigod-level existence!

The Watchers leader had attacked him again.

I have to say, the methods of a Demigod-level existence are truly terrifying.

Except for the golden inscription he just obtained.

The attack he was launching now didn't even have a warning.

It affected Cao Xing without him knowing, as if he had entered another world.

At the same time, a deadly sense of crisis struck.

This was the closest Cao Xing had ever been to death in his life!

After all, this was an attack from a Demigod-level!

And at this moment, deep in Cao Xing's consciousness, a dark blue crystal stood in that vast white space.

This dark blue crystal seemed to be stimulated by something, and a phantom of a dark blue dragon faintly appeared within it.

The giant dragon suddenly opened its eyes, a pair of deep pupils seemingly piercing through the past, present, and future!

"Roar—" A silent roar resounded, striking directly at the soul!

At the same time.

Cao Xing's bizarre visions quickly faded away, and he was standing back on the battlefield of Weilen Main City!

The magic power in his body surged again, and his body regained the ability to move.

"? I can move?"

"Was that just now—the Dragon of Fate, Oruen?"

At this moment, seeing Cao Xing regain movement, the Watchers leader seemed a bit surprised.

"To think you could break free from my 'Time of Judgment', you have some skills."

"However, the outcome remains the same."

As he finished speaking, a vast power descended suddenly, as if the heavens and earth paused for it.

At this moment, Cao Xing felt that sense of powerlessness again.

The surrounding time and space seemed to have solidified, and everyone's movements stopped.

Including the Legendary fighting in the air, and the worried subjects below, all were as if a pause button had been pressed.

However, unlike last time, he had regained the ability to move.

Although the pressure was still suffocating, he could at least react.

In the split second of life and death, Cao Xing quickly thought of a response plan in his mind.

"Damn it! The Demigod-level attack is too ridiculous; it can actually affect time."

"This should be a small-scale time stop; even Legendary powerhouses cannot resist it."

"But because I am protected by the Dragon of Fate, Oruen, I am immune to this effect."

"But now, everyone is frozen, and I have to find a way to deal with this blow myself!"

In a flash, Cao Xing made a decision.

That was to release Isabelle from the necromancers bag to block this blow for him.

As a Legendary Saint Light Sage, she might not die if she withstands this blow.

Even if she really falls, he could use the [King's Altar] to resurrect her later.

Just as he was preparing to take action.

The locked space underwent some changes again.

In the sky, the figure of the Lizardman Chieftain suddenly flashed, blocking between Cao Xing and the Watchers leader.

"Little friend Cao Xing is my ally. If you want to kill him, have you asked me?"

As he finished speaking, an ancient aura erupted from the Lizardman Chieftain again.

Its size, in a short time, soared from its original kilometer length to over ten thousand meters!

A trace of kingly might emerged.

It even faintly reached the level of that giant lizard when Cao Xing released [Wrath of the Ancient Lizard Emperor]!

"Whoosh—" The old Chieftain suddenly opened his giant mouth and spat a pillar of destruction light towards the sky!

It was like dropping a bomb in the frozen space.

Wherever the light pillar spread, everyone regained movement.

They stared blankly at the Lizardman Chieftain who had suddenly grown more than ten times larger, completely unaware of what had happened.

And the Watchers leader was also forced out of his hidden state by this light pillar.

With a solemn expression, he glanced at the Lizardman Chieftain, "Is this… the power of the Ancient Lizard Emperor?"

"It indeed possesses infinite power."

"No wonder in the ancient times, the Lizard Emperor could be ranked as one of the Four Emperors alongside the Human Emperor."

The Lizardman Chieftain said: "It seems you also know some things about the ancient times."

"But times have changed; the former emperors and true gods have all disappeared."

"You want to recreate the glory of the human race from the ancient times, but the rules will not allow it, so your end is destined to fail."

The Watchers leader snorted coldly: "That may not be so."

"The balance of the world has already tilted, and next, it will usher in a moment of complete imbalance."

"At that time, the human race will rise again!"

The Lizardman Chieftain shook his head, seemingly not wanting to continue the conversation on this topic, and directly took the Watchers leader and rushed into the sky again!

Cao Xing did not hear their conversation; he only knew that he was safe for the moment.

The power of a Demigod is truly too strange and unpredictable, making it impossible to guard against.

Coming back to his senses, he realized his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

"Damn, the old Chieftain is really capable!"

"Those Legendary, even as powerful as the old King, have no ability to resist when facing a Demigod."

At this moment, Cao Xing couldn't help but feel relieved.

Fortunately, before the operation began, he went to find such a powerful helper.

Otherwise, he would have been in big trouble this time!

At the same time, his gaze remained on the blood pool in front of him, and a hint of ruthlessness appeared in his eyes!

"Damn it! Continue attacking the barrier, destroy the blood pool for me!"

Upon hearing this, a large number of attacks descended like a storm, slamming into the barrier!

From the appearance of Elder Bloodfire to being killed by Cao Xing, and then the Watchers leader attacking Cao Xing.

It had only been less than 15 seconds in total.

In a short time, the durability of this barrier had recovered to thirty million.

But with the attack power of Cao Xing and his group, this amount of durability wouldn't last long at all.

Under the frantic concentrated fire of everyone, the barrier's durability began to drop at a terrifying speed.

Thirty million—twenty million—ten million…
