’?!?!’
"What’s going on with this guy?"
Xue Tianao was perplexed,
However, he no longer had ti to contemplate the changes happening to Xiao’s body. With the completion of Xiao’s transformation, his power beca terrifying. The demonic spear also beca more robust under the embrace of the black light,
As the tumultuous black magic power gradually cald down, the demonic spear regained its stability. Countless barbs and blades erged on its body, making it even more ferocious and terrifying. At the tip of the spear, after a twist, the deep blue gem transford into a profound eye...
And the gaze of this eye was fixed directly on Xue Tianao, sending a chilling sensation down his spine.
’?!?’
’No, no, this is not good!!’
’This demonic spear... It has a soul?!’
Xue Tianao sensed sothing was amiss and swiftly increased his strength! The radiant golden energy surrounding the divine sword and divine axe continued to surge! It was evident that Xue Tianao desired to eliminate the unsettling and peculiar weapon without delay. Yet, no matter how hard he tried, his mighty assault failed to make any headway.
"Why... Why is this happening?!"
At that very mont, the deep blue eyes on the demonic spear narrowed, revealing a contemptuous gaze directed at Xue Tianao.
In the next mont, much to Xue Tianao’s disbelief, the potent golden energy encompassing the two divine artifacts gradually broke free from his control. It was forcefully stripped away and absorbed by the demonic spear, which grew even more rciless with the infusion of divine power.
"This spear... It’s absorbing my power?!"
Before Xue Tianao could recover from his shock, Xiao’s eyes contracted suddenly, and a deep blue light erupted from his pupils.
With a single sweep of the demonic spear, it shattered Xue Tianao’s attack. The black magic power, akin to an unbound beast from the abyss, bellowed and surged toward Xue Tianao, who wore an expression of disbelief.
"Boom!"
A surge of black light reverberated like thunder, instantly shattering Xue Tianao’s golden aura! The formidable energy ruthlessly struck his body, causing his recently healed wounds to reopen.
The intense impact created a whirlwind in his abdon, and a mixture of blood and stomach acid sprayed from his mouth. But in the next mont, under the assault of the black magic storm, it forcefully surged back into his stomach. Xue Tianao was forcefully propelled backward by the impact, landing in a sorry state on the distant ruins.
Simultaneously, the deep blue eyes on the demonic spear abruptly contracted.
Thick gray mist materialized without warning, enveloping the entire palace. It completely isolated the outside world and thwarted any attempt to detect what was happening inside, including potential support from the Royal Knights.
Clearly, it was ti to seal the gates and engage in battle.
Brandishing the black demonic spear, Xiao unleashed his power and advanced slowly toward Xue Tianao, step by step.
With each stride, an overwhelming pressure descended, weighing heavily on Xue Tianao’s shoulders. His countenance grew grimr, and even breathing beca arduous. His inner mind was in turmoil.
’No,’
’This can’t be happening,’
’I’ve already released the third Shackles! How can he still overpower ? And... suppress ...’
Slowly rising from the ruins, Xue Tianao was covered in wounds, blood trickling from his eyes. He fixed his gaze unwaveringly on the ’Soul Reaper’ drawing closer with each step. In that mont, the burgeoning confidence within Xue Tianao’s heart was instantly shattered...
Nevertheless,
He refused to accept that he was being suppressed, his eyes brimming with resentnt and hatred.
"What did you do?! What is that demonic spear?!"
Xue Tianao unwillingly voiced his question.
However,
Xue Tianao’s attempt to buy ti through dialogue and alleviate his physical strain was imdiately discerned by Xiao.
"You don’t need to know,"
Xiao replied with a slightly neutral voice. He realized that his opponent had no ans of counterattacking. In an instant, Xiao transford into a black streak, rushing directly toward Xue Tianao with the force of thunder. Without hesitation, he aid the demonic spear at the heart of the chosen one.
Xue Tianao was left shocked and enraged by the opponent’s decisiveness, sensing an unprecedented danger.
"Damn it!"
Xue Tianao cursed internally, hastily attempting to evade Xiao’s attack.
With divine power surging and propelled by a golden radiance, Xue Tianao leaped to the left in a desperate mont, narrowly avoiding the strike that descended like the Grim Reaper’s arrival.
However, his arm was unfortunate enough to be pierced by the demonic spear.
In an instant, blood splattered as the life force and divine power within Xue Tianao’s arm were instantly absorbed by the demonic spear.
His right arm rapidly withered, resembling a dried corpse. Intense pain assaulted Xue Tianao’s brain, distorting his once handso face.
"Ah... Ah... Ah...!"
After a furious roar, Xue Tianao made a split-second decision. To prevent his life force from being completely drained, he forcefully swung his Heavenly Sword with his right hand and severed his own left arm.
Gasping for breath, Xue Tianao hastily retreated, trying to create distance from Xiao and buy more ti to recover. But how could Xiao, an experienced warrior, not be aware of Xue Tianao’s intentions?
The Duke of Black Roses had no intention of giving Xue Tianao any respite. After retracting the demonic spear, it transford into a black streak once again and instantly appeared in front of Xue Tianao.
"Devour him, Puls,"
Xiao’s words resounded, and a deep and suppressed voice filled with thick killing intent and madness emanated from the demonic spear.
"Understood, Master!!!"
In the next mont, under Xue Tianao’s horrified gaze, the head of the demonic spear rapidly enlarged and abruptly split open, revealing a ferocious blood-stained mouth filled with sharp fangs. Xue Tianao experienced an unprecedented sense of horror and danger.
Staring at the gaping bloodthirsty mouth enlarging in his own eyes, Xue Tianao knew very well that if he was caught again, his life force would be instantly drained, turning him into a lifeless corpse.
’No,’
’How could I end up falling like this!’
"Don’t even think about looking at ! You’re beneath contempt!"
Confronted by the approaching demonic spear, Xue Tianao summoned all his power to create a protective shield while angrily shouting at Xiao. Each roar emitted a radiant golden divine power, causing the mountain peak where the palace stood to tremble.
In the blink of an eye,
The mountain crumbled, and two silver figures unexpectedly burst out from underground, catching Xiao off guard and reaching his side.
"Boom!"
With a thunderous sound, silver demonic power erupted, creating dazzling flas in the air. Simultaneously, the two figures launched a powerful energy attack against Xiao.
"Hmm?"
Overwheld by this sudden assault, Xiao was compelled to halt his attack and retreat.
As the smoke cleared,
Xiao narrowed his light blue eyes and glanced ahead in the direction of Xue Tianao.
At that mont,
Xue Tianao, panting heavily, slowly rose from the ground. However, beside this chosen one, two unfamiliar silver figures had mysteriously appeared.
The bodies of these figures exuded dense demonic energy, covered in dazzling silver armor adorned with intricate ancient golden runes.
Although their humanoid forms suggested otherwise, the ruby eyes beneath their armor revealed that these beings were not human but alchemical puppets animated by a magical furnace.
"Alchemical puppets, are they the guardians of the Skye Do Palace?"
"Hehe, it seems you are quite knowledgeable. But these are no ordinary alchemical puppets!"
Casting a glance at the silver puppets standing by his side as protectors, Xue Tianao couldn’t help but reveal a smirk.
Originally, the palace guardians consisted of two rare seventh-tier pinnacle alchemical puppets. While strong, they were clearly insufficient to handle top-tier experts.
However,
After obtaining special materials from the system’s store and modifying these two puppets, Xue Tianao had elevated their strength to the eighth tier!
If it weren’t for the fact that activating these puppets required a large number of Soul Gems and massive amounts of energy, Xue Tianao might have deployed them in battle from the beginning.
But now, in this situation, he had no reason to hesitate. Having unleashed his divine power and lacking confidence in defeating the Duke of Black Roses alone, he had no choice but to let these two guardian puppets join the attack!
"No matter what, we must eliminate this scoundrel!"
With a fierce smile, Xue Tianao’s divine power surged within him once again.
Countless golden lights converged around Xue Tianao, reforming into a sparkling golden arm at the site of his severed limb. And the divine axe, responding to Xue Tianao’s divine power, returned to the chosen one’s grasp.
Simultaneously,
The two puppets beside Xue Tianao emanated a powerful aura, clearly entering a battle-ready state. The terrifying demonic power radiating from the puppets, combined with the vast golden divine power emanating from Xue Tianao, generated a powerful energy storm relentlessly rushing toward Xiao, who stood not far away.
"But don’t bla for taking advantage of our nurical superiority!"
As soon as he said those words, Xue Tianao kicked his legs and transford into a golden streak, charging directly at Xiao! At the sa ti, the two alchemical puppets attacked Xiao from different directions!
However,
Faced with this grand encirclent, Xiao couldn’t help but smile cunningly:
"Taking advantage of the outnumber, huh?"
"HAHA"
’Who says the side with more people always has the advantage? It’s not necessarily true~’
