Chapter 318 Returning to the Eighth Sequence, the True Strength of a Legend Sweeps Away Everything
A tremendous life force exploded within his body, and Xiao Yun felt as if a fire was burning inside him.
A buzzing sound emanated from his body, like a giant whale awakening and devouring everything around it.
The lush forest withered instantly, and the living plants and animals cried out in despair, turning into withered remains.
Vitality mixed with magical power surged in like a tide, coursing through his body.
A feeling of fullness and tearing appeared simultaneously in his body and soul. Xiao Yun felt as if he was being stretched into fragments, and then flattened into a ball the next second.
The parched essence of the body revived, and the Dragon Heart throbbed like thunder once more in the chest.
On the soul, the grotesque cracks slowly closed, leaving only fine fissures.
This moment felt like it lasted a very long time, but in reality, it was only a fleeting instant.
When night completely enveloped the Sea of No Divide, all the changes had subsided.
Amidst the scorched remains scattered on the ground, Xiao Yun slowly opened his eyes, his long-dimmed pupils once again gleaming with a crimson-gold light.
"It wasn't for nothing that I went through all this trouble."
"7
Xiao Yun's lips slowly curled up.
The effect of the "Twin Blossoms of Life" was beyond imagination. It not only perfectly restored him to the eighth rank of dual professions, but also brought him only one step away from the seventh rank.
Above [Eternal Blood], the persistent shadow of death dissipated slightly, showing signs of improvement.
Even more surprisingly, the [Twin Blossoms of Life] also provides a new skill.
[Skill: The End of Twilight]
[Grade: A]
【Effect 1 - End of Life: Inflicts negative effects such as aging and weakness on all surrounding targets. If the power of death is added, it will inflict instant death on the souls of enemies who hear the bell.】
【Effect 2—The End of Twilight, the Beginning of Starry Night: Burn all your life force into the power of death, greatly increasing your combat power. The extent of the increase depends on the amount of life force burned.】
[Description: From dusk till dawn, life and death cycle endlessly, and life itself keeps rushing about in this world —]
"If two living beings could bloom side by side, together forming the evening bell and the morning drum, would anything else change?"
Xiao Yun couldn't help but think this way.
However, the current situation seemed to leave him no room to continue thinking.
"roar!!!"
A roar came from the sea, and a sea monster, larger than the small island beneath their feet, waved its tentacles, stirring up towering waves.
Its horizontal eyes were fixed on Xiao Yun, as if it were looking at a delicious piece of food.
"If you eat the flower, I'll eat you; the effect should be pretty good."
The hoarse voice echoed between heaven and earth, and the terrifying power of the overlord-level monster swept over, almost suffocating people.
"Damn it! We've attracted that sea monster!"
In the distance, Redmond's pupils dilated in shock. He shouted to Eric, "Eric, let's go first. Even if this kid has recovered a little, he can't contend with a tyrant-level siren."
As they spoke, Eric had already moved far away from the island.
"Hehehe, kid, you've asked for your own death."
Eric sneered, dark clouds rolled overhead, and lightning instantly blocked Xiao Yun's possible escape route.
"Hahaha, great! This is so easy!"
Redmond wiped the sweat from his brow, his old eyes gleaming with excitement: "We just need to wait here, and we'll get the bounty!"
"Yeah, we still need to be careful. At the very least, we should keep that kid's head, before the siren eats him up."
"Don't worry, forget about the boss. With my Thunderstorm Formation, we might be able to kill two birds with one stone and pocket the entire bounty and the siren!"
Redmond's wrinkles smoothed out, like blooming chrysanthemums.
Just as the two were looking forward to it, the siren Krato launched an attack.
Dozens of tentacles, thicker than masts, slammed down on the island, and the resulting waves nearly swallowed it whole.
Xiao Yun could even see the ferocious suckers on the tentacles, like gaping maws, each tentacle capable of tearing a King-level being to shreds.
Xiao Yun's lips slowly curled into a smile: "It's truly—a feeling I haven't had in a long time."
Death loomed over me, my heart pounded wildly, and the feeling of being alive had never been so real.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
A resounding sword cry soared into the sky, and the long-silver sword flew out of the system inventory and landed in Xiao Yun's hand.
"Twilight, dusk, the sound of life and death."
clang-
The ethereal chimes resounded throughout the heavens and earth, tearing open a corner of the dark, cloud-covered sky, and a ray of rosy light descended from the horizon.
It's as if a corner of the stage curtain has been lifted; as the curtain falls, new life begins to emerge.
Xiao Yun's aura rose steadily until it reached the peak of the seventh sequence before slowly stopping.
The siren's eyes flashed, and Redmond and Eric in the distance also turned grim.
The falling tentacles accelerated again, even whipping up giant waves like tornadoes, bringing even more terrifying deaths.
Thunder roared, and the two no longer held back, attacking Xiao Yun.
Even if I don't get the bounty, it's better than being purged.
Just then, a brilliant golden light suddenly appeared above Xiao Yun's head.
The S-rank title is like a dazzling sun, so bright it's blinding.
Looking at Xiao Yun standing in the radiance, Redmond, Eric, and the others felt a sense of worship for a moment.
Inside the Wind Boat, Jing Feiwan stared blankly at Xiao Yun, a fascinated smile playing on her lips: "This is—a true legend."
A look of disbelief flashed in the eyes of the siren, Krato.
This creature, which was just moments ago incredibly weak and could be easily crushed, now makes it feel threatened with death.
"As long as the green hills remain, there's always firewood to burn!"
Kratos began to consider retiring.
But before it could make a move, dozens of magical spears suddenly appeared, piercing through its weak points as if they had eyes, pinning it firmly to the seabed.
"roar--"
Kratu let out a painful roar and struggled violently, but a huge halberd pierced his head.
"It's been a while since I used this trick, but it still feels quite natural."
In mid-air, Xiao Yun smiled as he looked at Klatu and slowly raised the mithril sword.
"I cast so many baits and finally managed to catch you, how can I let you get away?"
As they spoke, a blazing white sword aura shot into the sky from the mithril sword.
Runes, resembling slash marks, flickered in the wounds pierced by the magic spear.
At that moment, Klaru felt death knocking at his door.
"Wait—wait! I'm willing to serve you as my master. With my help, you will be unstoppable in this sea!"
Klatul instantly slid to his knees, his octopus-like face displaying a fawning expression.
"Heh, just kidding. Even after you die, you can still serve me as your master."
Xiao Yun chuckled lightly, said no more, and slashed down with his sword.
Empty space!
With a crack, the body of a carat shattered like porcelain, drifting on the sea in pieces.
Then, in the Wind Boat, the gate to the Chamber of Eternal Slumber suddenly burst open, like a black hole, sucking in all of Kratu's remains.
Buzz—
The power of death surged, and soon, a huge shadow appeared behind Xiao Yun.
The enormous octopus was covered in rotting flesh and pus, and in some places it was connected by the power of death, making it look extremely eerie.
The siren Krato died here, and the deep-sea demon was reborn here.
"Owner."
Klatul bowed respectfully.
Xiao Yun nodded lightly, landed on its head, and urged it to approach the fleet where Redmond and Eric were.
"Should I die myself, or should I send you on your way?"
Upon hearing Xiao Yun's words, the two men's expressions instantly darkened.
A resolute glint flashed in Redmond's eyes, and he hissed, "Eric, after I die, all the bounty goes to my daughter. Take good care of her, or I'll haunt you even in death!"
As he spoke, he plunged the wedge in his hand into his chest.
Rumble!
The terrifying lightning instantly engulfed his aged body, and then, still not satisfied, surged towards the other ships, devouring all the professionals on board.
A crimson hue slowly spread through the dark clouds, and the falling lightning transformed into a ferocious pillar of blood, like tears from the sky.
"Haha, kid, come on the road with me!"
Redmond's crazed voice echoed through the air: "Even if you can still display the strength you showed before, it's useless. My Crimson Thunder Prison is for the truly legendary rank; anyone who doesn't possess it will die!"
Looking at the sky filled with crimson lightning, Xiao Yun suddenly realized: "Is it similar to drawing upon the power of nature to create a domain?"
The power of a domain is a mighty force that belongs only to the legendary rank; those below the legendary rank are indeed unable to withstand it.
"Then—wouldn't it be great if I were a legend?"
Xiao Yun smiled slightly, and all his magical power flowed into the ring in his hand.
The white-boned spider lily bloomed, and an extremely dense death power fell on Klatu at his feet.
"roar!!!"
Klatu let out a roar, and the rotting flesh slowly peeled away, turning into white bones that were completely inconsistent with the structure of an octopus.
At the same time, its momentum is also rising steadily.
Death energy spread from Klatu's body, and a dark gray domain quietly emerged.
Grotesque skeletal tentacles stretched out from the sea, pulling the crimson lightning into the soil of death.
The deafening roars of the ghosts scattered the dark clouds in the sky.
The crimson lightning prison vanished without a trace, leaving only Redmond's unwilling roar.
The gates of eternal sleep open, embracing all these restless souls.
The world suddenly became deathly silent.
On the tin boat, Eric, the only one remaining, was pale-faced.
Seeing Xiao Yun's slowly casting cold gaze, he couldn't help but laugh and cry.
Almost without hesitation, Eric knelt down, cut open his chest, and used his fingertips, dabbing blood, to draw the incomplete Blood Pact rune that Xiao Yun had drawn that day.
"Eric, the sinner, offers his eternal loyalty to our Lord."
He had heard some rumors about the Undead Clan and roughly guessed that Xiao Yun was the Source.
The transformation and corruption of the undead are incomplete, which is why he resisted death before.
But now, given the opportunity for a true rebirth, he naturally has no reason to resist.
Xiao Yun narrowed his eyes, a hint of hesitation flashing across his face.
"A living person is always more useful than a dead one, and we're going to other gathering places soon, where it's inconvenient for you and me to show up. We'll need a clever person to run errands."
Jing Feiwan piloted the Wind Boat to his side and gently reminded him.
Xiao Yun remained silent for a moment, then nodded, raised his hand, and completed the drawing of the runes for the Blood Pact of Fire.
The runes formed from blood ignited, transforming into a burning flame that entered Eric's soul.
In the burning flames, Eric seemed to see an incomparably majestic figure.
That was Xiao Yun, and the only master he would serve from now on.
At that moment, he felt no regret or remorse, only gratitude and joy at being given a new lease on life.
Eric leaned forward and said urgently, "My lord, those sons of bitches from Worry-Free Land are coming soon, we have to hurry."
