    Chapter 184

    The Life Bearer, Xiu, let out a furious roar and struggled violently, attempting to break free from his restraints.

    But as he exerted his strength, his expression suddenly changed.

    Interwoven among the countless silk threads was a gleaming crystalline chain.

    His pupils contracted.

    "The Adamantine Chain of Destiny! Damn it!"

    This exceedingly rare natural adamantine crystal was the greatest nemesis of the Life Bearer.

    It was precisely because the Life Bearer's transformation mimicked the properties of natural adamantine that his armor possessed nearly indestructible hardness.

    However...

    Natural adamantine was just as indestructible.

    Even the Life Bearer himself couldn't break it.

    More importantly, his Flesh Shift ability couldn't assimilate natural adamantine into transformed adamantine.

    It was the perfect restraint.

    Once bound by the Adamantine Chain of Destiny, his feet left the ground.

    Unable to gain leverage...

    He was practically immobilized.

    Like a lamb waiting for slaughter.

    Only...

    This lamb possessed unbelievably tough defenses.

    Whether the executioners could actually kill him remained another matter.


    ---

    Clang! Clang!

    A shower of sparks erupted from Xiu's neck.

    His adamantine armor split open...

    Only to instantly regenerate.

    The attacker was Still, Yue Yi of the Speed Folk lineage.

    His attacks were so fast that ordinary eyes couldn't even perceive them.

    Yet despite striking Xiu's neck repeatedly...

    He achieved almost nothing.


    ---

    At that moment...

    Constant, Chang Xi slowly raised a hand from within his robe.

    His fingers spread...

    Then clenched.

    Immediately...

    Five Earth Lords hidden among the crowd leapt into the air and charged toward the Life Bearer.

    Their purpose was simple.

    Consume his Blood Energy.


    ---

    Chang Xi's plan had been nearly flawless.

    Originally...

    He would restrain the Life Bearer with his silk.

    All-Seeing would exploit the opening and pierce the adamantine armor.

    Still would launch countless high-speed attacks through the breach.

    Finally...

    The gathered Earth Lords would use Flesh Assimilation to continuously erode the armor until the Life Bearer's Blood Energy was exhausted.

    Victory would follow naturally.

    Unfortunately...

    All-Seeing had disappeared without a trace.

    That missing piece had made breaking the Life Bearer's defenses far more difficult.

    Fortunately...

    Five Earth Lords had appeared.

    Since they shared the same evolutionary lineage...

    Their transformed black crystal could directly offset the Life Bearer's transformed adamantine.

    As long as his Blood Energy continued to be consumed...

    Even the seemingly invincible Life Bearer would eventually die.

    Everything...

    Was proceeding according to plan.


    ---

    The Life Bearer...

    Seemed doomed.


    ---

    Just then...

    An unexpected figure stepped into the battlefield.

    Everyone's attention instinctively shifted toward him.

    Including Xiu himself.


    ---

    It wasn't because another Earth Lord had appeared.

    It was because...

    The armor he wore was simply too stunning.

    Its proportions were perfect.

    Its flowing lines were elegant.

    Intricate rune patterns shimmered faintly beneath the translucent black crystal.

    Compared to it...

    Even the Life Bearer's dazzling adamantine armor looked plain.

    Almost everyone shared the same thought.

    "That armor..."

    "It's unbelievably cool."

    They had never imagined armor like this could exist.


    ---

    The moment Su Hao entered the battlefield...

    Everything within a three-hundred-meter radius transformed into his own black crystal.

    The ground.

    The buildings.

    Everyone present.

    Even...

    Ji, the newly evolved Life Bearer.

    At that moment...

    Ji was still hesitating.

    Should he save his father...

    Or not?


    ---

    Within seconds...

    Hidden rune arrays spread beneath the transformed black crystal.


    ---

    Clang!

    A violent impact struck the back of Su Hao's neck.

    Sparks flew.

    "Hm?"

    "So fast."

    Only then did Su Hao realize...

    Still had already attacked him.


    ---

    Still was even more shocked.

    "His defenses are this strong?"

    "I couldn't even scratch him!"


    ---

    Meanwhile...

    Constant frowned deeply.

    His Thread Domain...

    Had been overwritten.

    Someone had forcibly seized control of the battlefield.

    Without hesitation...

    Countless razor-thin silk threads burst from his sleeves and surged toward Su Hao.

    No matter who the newcomer was...

    He had to die first.


    ---

    Su Hao smiled.

    "Thunder Domain."

    The completed rune formation activated instantly.


    ---

    Crackle!!

    Lightning erupted throughout the entire domain.

    Violent electric currents swept across the battlefield.

    Everyone's bodies stiffened simultaneously.

    Their muscles spasmed uncontrollably.

    Even Still—

    whose speed bordered on invisibility—

    lost control mid-dash and crashed toward the edge of the battlefield.

    Just before escaping the Thunder Domain...

    A towering wall of black crystal suddenly rose before him.

    His escape route was sealed.


    ---

    "Not good!"

    The expressions of every Seventh-Tier Mutant changed.


    ---

    Su Hao smiled politely.

    "My apologies, everyone."

    "I'm only here to borrow something."

    "I'll leave as soon as I get it."


    ---

    Just as the others began regaining control...


    ---

    Crackle!!

    Another wave of lightning descended.

    Once again...

    Everyone convulsed violently.

    All the Sixth-Tier Mutants collapsed to the ground.

    Constant's silk instantly lost its tension.

    Ji also fell heavily onto the ground.


    ---

    Maintaining one lightning strike every two seconds...

    Su Hao drew his long blade and calmly walked toward Xiu.


    ---

    The Life Bearer looked at him silently.

    His voice was hoarse from enduring the continuous paralysis.

    "...You..."

    "You're the one who captured All-Seeing."

    Su Hao nodded politely.

    "Yes."


    ---

    The instant he answered—

    A sharp pain shot through both his legs.

    Immediately afterward...

    A strange numbness spread upward at terrifying speed.

    Before he could fully react...

    It had already reached his knees.


    ---

    Without the slightest hesitation—

    Slash!

    Su Hao severed both of his own legs above the knees.

    At the same instant...

    A massive pillar of black crystal erupted from beneath him, blasting his body backward.

    Meanwhile...

    The Thunder Domain continued raining lightning upon everyone.


    ---

    When Su Hao landed...

    Fresh legs had already regenerated.

    He stared at the severed limbs lying on the ground.

    His expression grew solemn.

    "What... was that?"


    ---

    The black crystal covering the severed legs had completely disappeared.

    What remained...

    Were withered old limbs.

    Dry.

    Wrinkled.

    Covered in age spots.

    As though they belonged to someone on the verge of death.

    Whatever ability Xiu had used...

    Had drained an astonishing amount of vitality.


    ---

    Seeing Su Hao retreat...

    Everyone watching couldn't hide their disappointment.

    They had almost succeeded.


    ---

    "It seems..."

    "The lightning still isn't strong enough."

    Su Hao increased his Blood Energy output.

    Immediately...

    The Thunder Domain became even more violent.


    ---

    Crackle! Boom! Crackle!

    Lightning struck continuously.

    The entire battlefield became a sea of electricity.


    ---

    Keeping a safe distance...

    Su Hao stared at the Life Bearer.

    "Getting close to this old man is too dangerous."

    "I still don't understand that ability."

    "Long-range attacks will be safer."


    ---

    With a thought...

    The surrounding transformed black crystal rapidly reshaped itself.

    A gigantic pair of scissors emerged.

    Su Hao immediately engraved several runes upon them.

    Second-Level Sharpness.

    Second-Level Penetration.

    Second-Level Hardness.


    ---

    The enormous blades closed around Xiu's arm.

    Crack!

    The arm fell cleanly to the ground.

    A pillar of black crystal immediately knocked it toward Su Hao.

    He caught it effortlessly.


    ---

    After examining it carefully...

    Su Hao frowned.

    "Hm?"

    "It's entirely adamantine."

    "Where's the flesh?"

    "This old man..."

    "He's far more cautious than I expected."
