    Chapter 185

    After briefly recording the properties of the adamantine armor inside his Sphere Space, Su Hao turned his attention back to the Life Bearer, Xiu.

    After using that mysterious life-draining ability on Su Hao, Xiu had clearly become much weaker.

    Taking advantage of the opportunity, Su Hao repeatedly manipulated his transformed black crystal from a distance. After several attempts...

    He finally managed to sever a sizeable piece of flesh from Xiu.

    Satisfied with his harvest, Su Hao was about to leave.

    Then his gaze shifted toward Still, Yue Yi, and Constant, Chang Xi.

    The two Seventh-Tier Mutants were still lying inside the Thunder Domain, their bodies twitching uncontrollably under the constant lightning strikes.

    Su Hao stopped.

    "To be fair..."

    "I should borrow a piece from everyone."

    Without hesitation, he sliced a chunk of flesh from the thickest part of each of their upper arms.

    He immediately wrapped the samples in black crystal for preservation.

    Only then did he slowly retreat.

    Looking toward everyone present, he smiled politely.

    "My apologies for the disturbance."

    "Thank you all for your generous cooperation."

    "Perhaps we'll meet again someday."

    Without waiting for anyone to respond...

    Su Hao immediately flew away.

    He stopped several kilometers from the battlefield, concealed himself, but didn't leave.

    Instead, he quietly observed.

    If the battle that followed threatened Huiyang City's civilians...

    He intended to return and eliminate everyone involved.

    Ending the conflict at its source was also an option.


    ---

    The moment Su Hao released control of the Thunder Domain...

    The very first person to recover...

    Was the Life Bearer, Xiu.

    He suddenly stood upright and roared furiously,

    "Constant!"

    "How dare you betray our agreement and attack me!"

    "Then..."

    "You shall all die!"


    ---

    The instant his voice fell—

    Everything within a five-hundred-meter radius transformed into dazzling adamantine.

    The entire battlefield became a brilliant silver world.


    ---

    Constant and Still had only just regained control of their bodies.

    The moment they looked down...

    Their expressions changed dramatically.

    Without hesitation...

    They turned and fled with everything they had.

    They understood better than anyone...

    What happened when the Life Bearer fought without holding back.

    Remaining inside his domain...

    Was equivalent to accepting death.


    ---

    In truth...

    Xiu was only seventy years old.

    Among the Zhu Hua Folk...

    He was merely middle-aged.

    The reason he appeared so ancient...

    Was because of one terrifying ability.

    Decay.

    Every time he used it...

    He burned away his own lifespan.

    In exchange...

    He stole the vitality of his enemies.

    It was an exchange he had never regretted.

    As long as his opponent died first...

    The price was worthwhile.


    ---

    Normally...

    No one would ever allow him to use Decay at full power.

    The instant his Adamantine Domain appeared...

    Any knowledgeable opponent would immediately flee beyond its range.

    But today...

    Everything had changed.

    Su Hao's Thunder Domain had immobilized every Seventh-Tier Mutant present.

    No one could escape.


    ---

    The victory that Constant and Still had spent years preparing...

    Had been stolen at the final moment.


    ---

    Now...

    The Life Bearer completely abandoned all restraint.

    He burned away nearly all of his remaining lifespan.

    Activating Decay with maximum power.


    ---

    Within the Adamantine Domain...

    Constant and Still rapidly withered.

    Their skin shrank.

    Their muscles wasted away.

    Their enormous Blood Energy offered almost no resistance.

    By the time they barely stumbled beyond the edge of the domain...

    They collapsed onto the ground.

    Still alive...

    But only barely.

    Both had become frail old men whose skin clung tightly to their bones.

    Even standing was impossible.


    ---

    Still looked toward Constant with bloodshot eyes.

    His voice trembled with despair.

    "You..."

    "Constant..."

    "You told me we had an eighty percent chance of success."

    "You lied..."

    "Why aren't you dead yet?"

    "Die first..."

    "I'll only be satisfied after watching you die!"


    ---

    Constant remained unusually calm.

    His voice was hoarse.

    "It's coming."


    ---

    Still glared at him hatefully.

    "You should die before me."


    ---

    Constant replied quietly,

    "My judgment wasn't wrong."

    "We truly had an eighty percent chance."

    "We simply encountered..."

    "The remaining twenty percent."

    "If death comes..."

    "So be it."

    "There's nothing more to say."


    ---

    Still no longer answered.

    He struggled desperately to stand...

    But his body refused to obey.


    ---

    Meanwhile...

    After unleashing Decay with everything he had...

    The Life Bearer's adamantine armor gradually faded.

    The brilliant silver crystal disappeared.

    In only moments...

    His powerful body became that of an extremely frail old man.

    His skin dried.

    His back bent.

    His remaining lifespan...

    Had almost reached its end.


    ---

    Having personally sent away the two rivals who had opposed him throughout his life...

    Xiu smiled with satisfaction.

    Gathering the last trace of strength within him...

    He looked toward his son.

    "...Ji..."

    "Go..."

    He could say no more.


    ---

    At that moment...

    The newly evolved Life Bearer, Ji...

    Stepped forward.


    ---

    A twisted smile spread across his face.

    His bloodshot eyes swept across the dying figures before him.

    The smile slowly transformed into madness.


    ---

    He had never imagined...

    That today would unfold like this.

    Not only had he successfully evolved into a Life Bearer...

    But every Seventh-Tier obstacle standing before him...

    Had fallen.

    He burst into wild laughter.

    "Hahaha!"

    "You self-righteous fools!"

    "So this is how you die!"

    "From today onward..."

    "I alone..."

    "Am the god of Huiyang City!"

    "Hahaha!"

    "Look carefully!"

    "Who is the final victor?"

    "Who?"

    "Did you see it?"

    "I'm the one favored by Heaven!"


    ---

    He slowly walked toward Xiu.

    Looking down at his father...

    His expression became filled with resentment.

    "Xiu..."

    "I'm tired of obeying you."

    "I hate you."

    "My hypocritical father."

    "You think..."

    "I should feel grateful because you gave me the chance to evolve?"

    "You don't understand."

    "I wanted that power..."

    "Because I wanted it."

    "Not because you decided to give it to me."

    "Do you know..."

    "How I spent those twenty years waiting?"


    ---

    A long adamantine spear condensed in Ji's hand.

    He roared furiously.

    "Xiu!"

    "I've wanted to kill you with my own hands!"


    ---

    However...

    Xiu merely smiled.

    Quietly listening to every accusation.

    The light gradually faded from his eyes.

    Until...

    It disappeared completely.


    ---

    Ji froze.

    His father had died before he could strike.

    The resentment filling his heart found nowhere to go.

    His expression twisted with rage.


    ---

    The Adamantine Domain expanded once more.

    Countless adamantine spikes erupted from beneath the earth.

    They instantly pierced Constant and Still...

    Ending their lives.


    ---

    Yet...

    Even after killing them...

    Ji still wasn't satisfied.

    He wanted the entire world...

    To witness the birth of its new ruler.

    The Adamantine Domain continued expanding.

    Everything in its path was destroyed.


    ---

    Just then—

    A calm voice sounded overhead.

    "That's enough."


    ---

    Ji immediately became alert.

    That voice...

    Sounded strangely familiar.


    ---

    Su Hao descended slowly from the sky.

    Without saying another word—

    He kicked Ji high into the air.

    Before Ji could stabilize himself...

    Su Hao caught up.

    Another kick sent him flying even higher.

    Meanwhile...

    Countless grains of black sand gathered around Ji's body.

    They rapidly wrapped around him, carrying him farther into the sky.


    ---

    Su Hao remained careful.

    He hadn't forgotten the terrifying Decay ability.

    He had no intention of fighting the new Life Bearer at close range.

    If Ji had also inherited that power...

    Getting within reach would be extremely dangerous.

    Long-range attacks...

    Were much safer.


    ---

    Thinking this...

    Su Hao slowly raised his right hand.

    Black crystal continuously extended outward.

    Gradually...

    It formed an enormous, thick black crystal cannon.

    Its muzzle...

    Pointed directly toward the sky.
