791 -16: This Legacy is Hard to Obtain
Things were troublesome.
Tang Xian now knew why that battle was called the Twilight of the Gods— even the gods were pushed to dusk, with the majority of the beast races suffering heavy casualties.
If we talk about the level of destruction that the mechanical race brought to the mining world in those days, it wasn’t much less than what occurred in the Human World.
Many mythical creatures, Tang Xian had already ceased to see.
But things were different in the Land of the Dead, aside from the few that he had killed himself in the Sin Snatching Territory, Tang Xian still saw many terrifying beings.
The Xuan Bird only felt a wave of weakness as the blue flames that surged on its body rapidly dimmed.
It wasn’t just the Xuan Bird; Tang was the same.
The Tang that usually covered Tang Xian’s body like armor suddenly released this state, and he looked forward puzzled, as if his power had been taken away.
When Tang Xian saw this, he immediately knew what was happening.
“Zang Lin.
I didn’t expect such a rare species to be present here.”
Zang Lin, a member of the Hundred Beasts Zang Lin, emitted an aura that could return all beast races to their weakest state.
However, the undead around them showed no signs of weakness, and Tang Xian was certain that this kind of territory had no effect on the deceased.
Death— truly a useful buff.
Tang Xian said,
“I’ll go deal with that Zang Lin; you guys find a way to protect yourselves for now.”
As soon as the words fell, Tang Xian didn’t delay any further.
With Lei Xiao’s Streaming Light Refining Shadow fully activated, his whole body turned into lightning, while his arm shone with the luster of some alloy.
At the same time, black fog descended, and the originally light-blue space suddenly became pitch-black.
This time, Tang Xian didn’t use poison; they were all dead already, and chemical warfare probably wouldn’t be very effective.
Tang Xian’s charge, however, was futile because an enemy with a speed matching his, with arms even more hardened and sharp, stopped in front of him.
“[You think you can defeat me with my own skills?]”
The Gold-Breaking Beast appeared in front of Tang Xian, who retreated slightly, confused.
Looking into those blue eyes full of obsession, he suddenly understood; these dead guys saw the world differently.
They were not blinded by Eclipses.
“I’m really envious of you dead guys; the treatment is different.
I’m starting to want to die once.”
“[I’ll grant your wish!]”
The Taowu’s body lunged forward.
The closer to death, the stronger the combat power of Taowu, and being already dead, it was equivalent to always being at full combat power.
Whether it was strength or speed, they were different from what Tang Xian witnessed in the Sin Snatching Territory.
Tang Xian did not dare to be careless and pushed the speed to the limit under the effect of Streaming Light Refining Shadow.
It was at this moment that Qing Jiuye transformed into a bewitching fox, but its once fiery red fur had turned purplish-red, adding an aura of wickedness.
With a breath of foxfire, Tang Xian finally felt the terrifying heat.
With a mere thought, the trident, as if sensing a call, appeared out of thin air, positioned between him and the onslaught of the myriad beasts.
“It’s useful indeed, but you’d better hold up!”
The trident’s resilience was almost comparable to the Soul Crystal of an end-times creature, whether it was the Gold-Breaking Beast’s slashing, Taowu’s tearing, or the foxfire, Tang Xian swiftly blocked them all with the trident.
Yet the terrifying impact of each attack was pushing him further away from Zang Lin.
Countless web-like threads fell like fine rain.
These threads no longer appeared as sticky as the ones in the Sin Snatching Territory but instead became extremely sharp, as if even the slightest touch would lacerate the body.
Tang Xian felt his range of movement shrinking.
Not just the threads, but also two grey rays shot forth.
Gorgon’s petrifying gaze made Tang Xian wonder if the trident, a weapon of Sea God’s legacy, could really be petrified.
He didn’t dodge but used the trident to block it head-on.
The trident remained completely unharmed.
“Useful!” Tang Xian felt somewhat relieved internally.
This petrifying gaze was very powerful; once it hit, while it didn’t declare death directly like the Eye of the Mirror, it was virtually no different from death.
But the speed of the rays wasn’t fast.
Under Streaming Light Refining Shadow, in the battlefield at the depths of the abyss, there were very few creatures that could keep up with Tang Xian’s speed.
Even the slashing of the Gold-Breaking Beast, with its secret of breaking gold and shattering iron, couldn’t leave any mark on the trident.
However, merely being grazed by the web of the Sin Bone Spider, he found more and more wounds on his body.
This was what Tang Xian found to be the most terrifying. 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝙗.𝒄𝒐𝒎
Both he and Tang were thoroughly indestructible monsters.
Under the deep sea, even a strike from the Sea God could be healed within a few seconds.
But now, those wounds were healing at an incredibly slow pace.
This time, Tang Xian truly felt the horror of this Nether Ravine.
There existed a terrifying life-draining capacity here; he hadn’t felt it at first, but it was evident after sustaining injury—
The wounds didn’t heal instantly; his proudest trait was being suppressed.
This was not the same as the removal of a life recovery mechanism by the Orderlies; this was a kind of cancellation.
This still wasn’t the deepest part; if he approached the Nether Phoenix, would there arise a situation where even if he did nothing, took no injury, and didn’t fight, his life force would continuously decrease?
If ordinary creatures came here, they probably wouldn’t last long before being completely drained, right?
Thinking this, Tang Xian couldn’t help but look back at Tang and the Xuan Bird; the Xuan Bird was, after all, a Nether Beast, immune to this domain.
But with Tang’s life recovery abilities being suppressed, he clearly seemed to be struggling.
Perhaps in another two or three minutes, Tang would die from the least likely cause — life force being devoured.
