In the dark, silent mountains, within a massive temple rising from a cave in the valley.
As a black radiance flashed from the altar at the center of the temple, a figure stepped out of the glow. It was none other than the Beast Emperor, covered head to toe in bandages—the very man Shi Feng had just killed.
Other than his somewhat weakened aura, the Beast Emperor's level had not dropped at all. He was still a Tier 4 Level 132 player.
"Black Flame! You think an Abyss Soul Curse can cripple me? Dream on!" Recalling how Shi Feng had instantly killed him, the Beast Emperor sneered. "I received the Evil God's blessing and obtained the forbidden technique, Undying Body. Killing me won't be that easy! Just wait. I've already mostly mastered the evolution of Tier 5 Holy Shaping Monsters. Once I gather enough materials, I'll soon make your Zero Wing experience the terror of death!"
The Tier 4 forbidden technique Undying Body allowed him to revive once within a day without paying any death penalty, instantly resurrecting inside the Evil God Temple. He could even instantly kill himself, something he could do even while restrained.
This move was also a trump card he had prepared in case he was captured by NPCs. After all, if an NPC caught him—especially the War God Temple—he would truly be finished.
It was precisely because he possessed this forbidden technique that he dared to move about openly instead of living hidden in the shadows, unafraid of those NPCs seeking to capture him.
"Unfortunately, Lu Xingluo is beyond saving. If I had his help, Tier 5 Holy Shaping Monsters would appear much faster." The Beast Emperor secretly lamented. "Now I can only rely on myself again."
It would be very difficult for Shi Feng
