213: What if I let you run first? Die!

“Oh? Tell me,” Chen Beixuan said, raising an eyebrow, his interest piqued slightly.

“My proposal is… you release me, and I can give you any information you desire, for example… information about the past Chaos Mages, how about that?”

“Not good at all. You’d best come up with something more valuable.”

Chen Beixuan was completely unmoved, even regretting listening.

The Lord of Darkness was startled, then persistently asked, “Aren’t you curious about the secrets of the Chaos Mages? Don’t you want to know who killed the previous Chaos Mages?”

No matter how he tried to tempt him, Chen Beixuan remained unswayed.

“First, the former Chaos Mages have nothing to do with me. I don’t have that much time to find out who they are.”

“Second, no matter who killed the previous Chaos Mages, it has nothing to do with me. I only know that whoever provokes me, I’ll deal with them. It’s that simple.”

“Finally, I don’t think you have any valuable bargaining chips, so you might as well shut up and wait to die.”

With that, Chen Beixuan ignored him and waved his hand to cast a spell.

He refreshed the duration of Endless Tribulation Prison, waiting for the final moment to arrive.

The Lord of Darkness’s face alternated between green and pale, as he suppressed his frustration and asked, “What exactly will it take for you to let me go? Name your price!”

Hearing this, Chen Beixuan glanced at him and said indifferently, “Order the destruction of all Darkness Invasion magic arrays, and I’ll consider letting you go…”

“Impossible!”

Before he finished speaking, the Lord of Darkness flatly refused.

Their plan, which they had endured and plotted for 10 years, could not be stopped even if they died!

“Heh, then there’s nothing more to talk about…”

Chen Beixuan retracted his gaze, staring intently at the timer on the panel: 1 minute 30 seconds remaining…

Just then, the Lord of Darkness suddenly burst into maniacal laughter, his laughter sounding somewhat eerie.

After laughing for a while, he stared fixedly into Chen Beixuan’s eyes and said fiercely, “I know you want to kill me to become stronger, but I won’t let you. At worst, I’ll self-destruct, and you’ll get nothing!”

“Now, I’ll ask you one last time, are you going to let me go… or not?!”

His voice at the end was almost a hysterical scream, revealing his determination!

The countdown entered 60 seconds…

Chen Beixuan couldn’t help but narrow his eyes.

Based on the damage attribution, even if he self-destructed, the kill right would definitely be his.

But if it couldn’t trigger the Rule Feedback skill, it would be meaningless, a complete loss of two hours.

Letting him go was absolutely impossible; he could only take a gamble!

He quickly pulled out a melting stone and selected the skill under World-Destroying Heavenly Punishment.

Two Power of Destruction skills, all melted down!

Base damage increased from +600% to +1200%!

The Cold Blooded skill was melted!

Below 50% health, damage +50% increased to damage +100%!

The World-Destroying Heavenly Punishment’s final damage multiplier was: 14400%!

Having done all this, he slowly stood up and looked into the cage.

Countdown 10 seconds…

Watching the Lord of Darkness, who was enveloped in black aura and seemed ready to explode at any moment, he waved his hand to remove Endless Tribulation Prison and said in an unperturbed tone, “You… can go.”

The Lord of Darkness, who was about to self-destruct, suddenly froze, the violent aura around him subtly dissipating.

Although he didn’t know what Chen Beixuan was up to, that damned cage was indeed gone!

Run!

Almost instantly, the Lord of Darkness transformed into a black light and shot out!

Hundreds of meters per second, the sonic boom shook the heavens!

The ground rapidly receded in his vision, and in a breath, he had flown several thousand meters away!

Only then did he believe that he had truly escaped, and his heart was filled with overwhelming joy!

“…Heh heh… Hahahaha!”

“This fool who hasn’t even experienced sublimation actually dared to let me go. What a foolish Chaos Mage, foolish, hahahaha!”

Just as he was laughing maniacally.

On the other side,

Chen Beixuan, who had finished releasing spears on the ant spider and whose magic attack had greatly increased, stared at the aiming reticle in his view and mumbled, “…3…2…1!”

“Chaos - World-Ending Heavenly Punishment!!”

Rumble—

Crack!

A sky-shattering explosion echoed in the endless mist, and black and white lightning imbued with the aura of destruction pierced through!

It struck the maniacally laughing Lord of Darkness squarely, freezing his smile!

Boom boom boom boom boom!

Cold Blooded True Damage!

-73487865, -73487865, -73487865!

Decay -180 million!

Lucky Strike +6!

Boom boom boom boom boom!

-73487865, -73487865, -73487865, …

Without the Darkness God’s BUFF protection, the Lord of Darkness’s damage reduction dropped from 95% to 70%, and his physique instantly became fragile!

Ding!

Health lock triggered!

The Lord of Darkness, whose body was numb, swayed but managed to stay aloft, not falling.

“Cough cough… Heh heh heh…”

“Ultimately, I still won…”

He flew while sneering, not daring to slow down, fearing that Chen Beixuan would pursue him.

But little did he know that his death was already sealed…

As time passed.

A sense of unease gradually surfaced in his heart, and he nervously looked around.

His vision pierced through layers of mist, but he found nothing.

He could only subconsciously speed up his flight to alleviate the anxiety in his heart.

“Damn it! He won’t catch up, will he…?”

The Chaos Mage’s skills were diverse, and perhaps there was an invisible tracking ability that even he couldn’t detect.

Time passed second by second.

The inexplicable sense of crisis grew stronger, and he gritted his teeth, making a decision. He stopped and roared backward, “I know you’re nearby! If you dare come any closer, I’ll self-destruct, and you won’t get a single hair!”

Violent dark energy swirled around his body, and the temperature rose.

He put on a show of intending to perish together.

Just as he was in a tense standoff with the air, the sense of crisis reached its peak!

The next second!

“Pfft—”

The Lord of Darkness’s eyes widened suddenly, staring at the black blood in his palm, his face filled with disbelief!

“It’s actually… inside my body…”

Mid-sentence, he could no longer make a sound.

His body deflated like a punctured balloon, his life force rapidly draining.

The skill he had prepared to save his life didn’t even have time to be released, and his entire being fell powerlessly…

[Ding! You have over-leveled and killed the King-tier BOSS, Lord of Darkness - Soul One (Lv175), gaining 176,000 experience points!]

[Ding! Rule Feedback is active, randomly drawing…!]

[Ding! Congratulations, you have gained MP +10000, which has been fed back to reality!]

[Ding! Skill - Lexical Entry Assignment talent is active, gaining the Golden Skill, Flame Enhancement!]

A series of reward prompts popped up, interrupting Chen Beixuan’s train of thought for wishing.

He didn’t have time to check the specific rewards.

He quickly summoned the Myriad Realms Kun and had Xiao Lu pinpoint the location of the Lord of Darkness’s death drops.

With the Lord of Darkness dead, this command process was unimpeded.

A gleaming golden arrow pointed in one direction.

Riding the Myriad Realms Kun with sparks and lightning, he finally found the Lord of Darkness’s corpse in a barren ditch, along with the glittering golden drops beside it.

There was even a hint of red light!
