Total Annihilation, the Deaths of Pride and Sloth, Talent Crystal (5,200)

"I originally thought that as the top-ranked player on both lists, and also suspected of possessing the 'Seven-Orificed Exquisite Heart' talent, you would have some surprises for me."

"As a result, this kind of Tier Three domain is just like paper to me."

He shook his head regretfully.

At that moment, Shen Xing's deep voice finally came from the darkness.

"It's alright, this is just an appetizer; the main course is yet to come."

"Hunting isn't fun if you kill your prey right away, right?"

Conrad's eyes lit up, and he was just about to pinpoint the direction from which the sound was coming.

At that moment, an unprecedented dark power erupted!

It was as if an entire world had descended in an instant, its intensity and scope increasing many times over.

The magma pillars erupting from his body were quickly suppressed and receded back into his body in the blink of an eye.

The other lords, too, seemed to be trapped in an endless abyss, their energy suppressed.

Even the space itself was completely sealed off, so crushing the crystal had no effect.

At that moment, the entire hall was plunged into absolute darkness.

"Trying to trap me? Impossible!"

"Break it!!"

Conrad let out bursts of Roar, attempting to continue his outburst.

However, the molten lava power within him was extinguished the moment it appeared.

As darkness gradually gathered, he felt his body become incredibly heavy, making even moving extremely difficult.

At that moment, the confident smile on his face vanished, replaced by an extremely solemn expression.

Before it could react, another terrifying dark force descended from the sky.

"Boom!!"

It was as if two mountains had descended simultaneously; all the lords' legs went weak on the spot, and they collapsed to the ground like dead dogs, unable to move.

"Tier Four... Overlord Rank creature, and with dual domains!"

"This is impossible! This is impossible!"

Conrad's expression finally changed, and unprecedented horror appeared in his eyes.

The other lords, upon hearing "Tier Four Overlord Rank," felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

It's important to know that within the Spiral Labyrinth, they can only manifest a maximum of Tier Three Expert Rank units to fight.

Now, Shen Xing has actually summoned Tier Four powerhouse, and Overlord Rank creature at that!

Even with prior preparations, they would still suffer heavy casualties against such a powerful opponent.

Moreover, they are now completely suppressed.

This is why Shen Xing dared to cause trouble.

As a peak Tier Three Overlord Rank dragon, Onyxia can directly advance one Tier after consuming the [Boiling Dragon Blood Potion].

Although it only lasted 60 seconds, it was enough to crush everyone present.

The reason they didn't use this trump card earlier was because these guys were prepared and had summoned their respective units.

Even Onyxia couldn't withstand the combined fire of so many people.

Even if they win in the end, they will suffer heavy casualties.

But things are different now.

They now hold the initiative, and they've caught the other off guard.

As for the dual domains Conrad mentioned, it's naturally because Onyxia's Overlord Domain and Leader Rank skills combined to create this qualitative change.

Everything was completely sealed off, even the Mist Crystal became utterly ineffective.

"Thank you for watching all night."

From the darkness came Shen Xing's icy voice. "Next, I'll send you all on your way."

Upon hearing this, the lords of the three great nations all paled in shock.

Before they could make any move, boundless dark power swept over them, like a giant hand gripping them tightly.

Then, the large hand began to slowly apply force.

They could feel their bodies being constantly squeezed, their blood vessels breaking inch by inch, their bones being crushed and mixed with flesh and blood.

A piercing pain spread through every corner of my body.

In the blink of an eye, several lords reached their physical limits and exploded on the spot!

"Bang! Bang bang bang!"

The sound of flesh exploding echoed in the darkness, and a thick stench of blood spread.

Hearing this chilling voice, the lords were filled with even greater fear, and at the same time, an endless sense of regret welled up in their hearts.

Damn it, I must have been bewitched. Instead of properly exploring the maze, I came here to deal with the lord of Heavenly Star Nation.

This is it, we're all doomed!

"Roar! Break through!"

Conrad roared Wrath, bracing himself on all fours as he struggled to get up.

And with his outburst, even more Magma Eruption, attempting to tear this dark space apart.

However.

A faint flapping sound came from the darkness.

"Boom!"

Conrad felt as if he had been hit by a planet; he collapsed like a dead dog, his pupils turning white, and he almost fainted on the spot.

On the other side, Lachlan and Asada Hitomi were also struggling frantically.

One of them unleashed a blue, ocean-like power, attempting to break free of the seal.

Two beams of white light shot out from one pupil as he struggled to raise his two daggers, attempting to slash through the Darkness Domain.

But under the overwhelming power, their struggles were futile.

They were quickly pinned down and held in place.

As time went by, more and more lords reached their physical limits.

"Bang! Bang bang bang!"

The darkness was silent, save for the echoing sounds of flesh exploding, which deepened the fear in the hearts of these lords.

"No! Shen Xing, don't kill me! I'll never fight you again!"

"Ah! Stop! I was wrong, please let me go!!"

"Damn Lachlan, Conrad, you two bastards, you've ruined us!"

"Petrel Nation is finished! All the geniuses are going to perish here! No!!!"

They cried out in agony and begged for mercy, but their voices could not be heard.

All I could do was desperately feel the approaching sense of death enveloping me, and the physical pain grew increasingly intense.

Chapter 239: Annihilation, The Death of Pride and Sloth, Talent Crystal (5200)

This hunting feast did not last long.

In just three breaths, 99% of these more than one hundred lords had been killed or wounded.

It should be noted that these are all top-tier, Transcendent, and Expert Rank lords from various countries, each with the potential to reach the Master Rank.

Normally, even the death of one person would make the news.

But now, they are dying here in droves.

It can be said that after this incident, the newly emerging lords of the three major powers will be severely weakened and suffer heavy losses.

Four breaths later.

There was little life left in the darkness; only a few people were still putting up a desperate fight.

"No! I am the heir of the Daoton Family, a genius with S-class talent!"

Lachlan let out a beast-like roar, "How could I die here? How could I die here?!"

"Whoosh--!"

As his resentment grew stronger, it was as if some ancient power was being activated.

A gigantic phantom of energy appeared behind him.

He has no facial features, and his body seems to be made of flowing water. He holds a trident and has a head of flowing blue hair.

Like a guardian of the ocean, it exudes a vast aura.

But just as this phantom appeared!

"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!"

Three dark metal spheres shot out from the darkness, instantly blasting into Lachlan and piercing his heart, brain, and chest.

Lachlan's body stiffened abruptly. "I... I actually... died..."

Before he finished speaking, his aura suddenly dissipated, and the blue phantom behind him also seemed to have disappeared from the spot because it had lost its energy source.

Lachlan did not die peacefully; his eyes remained wide open until the very end, as if he had died with his eyes still open.

Next up was the disheveled young man next to him.

He lay on the ground, his face filled with endless anguish.

"Ugh... Damn it, I knew it... I knew it..."

"This talent provides shortcuts, but every shortcut comes at a price, and isn't this price a bit too high...?"

"Damn it... I should have just stayed home and slept..."

Before he could finish speaking, a jet-black claw descended from the sky and tore him completely to shreds.

Now.

In this Darkness Domain, only Asada Hitomi and Conrad remain, barely managing to hold on.

Their physical bodies seemed to be extremely powerful, or perhaps they used some kind of survival skill, allowing them to briefly withstand Onyxia's dark power.

However, Lord Shen clearly wouldn't give them that chance.

"Go!"
