As the forbidden art "Deprivation" was successfully unleashed, Jiang Ping An's immortal root began to wither, its starlight dimming as the Blood Sea Domain he had released shattered in an instant.
The golden figure looked down on Jiang Ping An from above. He had lost his innate power to reverse time. This was the final strike.
Drawing upon all its energy, it activated the Battle Spirit Image and swung the Annihilation Fist. Terrifying power churned the laws of heaven and earth, as though it could destroy all things, and smashed toward Jiang Ping An.
Jiang Ping An closed his eyes in despair.

The golden runes on the bones flashed as the powers of the Life Law and Death Law bloomed.

The golden figure suddenly exploded in a bizarre manner.

"You can copy all my abilities! But did you know that I had already inscribed Life Exchange Talismans and Substitute Death Talismans onto my own bones?"

Shen Feng had mastered the laws of life and death and created three great life runes: the Substitute Death Talisman, the Life Exchange Talisman, and the Shared Fate Talisman.
Long ago, Jiang Ping An had carved the Substitute Death Talisman and Life Exchange Talisman into his bones.
The Life Exchange Talisman could exchange death with one's killer. Its effect was utterly monstrous.
