Chapter 301: The Battle of Life and Death Ends, the World in Turmoil
Just then, on the other side, Xiao Yun, who was fighting the Son of Death, suddenly felt an ominous premonition.
"It's happening again, that feeling."
Xiao Yun frowned slightly, feeling extremely agitated, yet he couldn't grasp the source of this premonition.
Just like last time when Miss Moon and Hua Wuye were in danger, but this time, there was no clue whatsoever, and it was completely unknown.
Xiao Yun felt as if his heart was being squeezed tightly, making it hard to breathe.
In a daze, Xiao Yun felt like a wild beast that had unknowingly stepped into a hunter's trap, wanting to struggle but unable to escape.
Even the Son of Death, who had risen to the legendary level, couldn't exert this much pressure on him.
"Strange, very strange. Even using the system's predictions yielded no results."
Xiao Yun's face was ashen. Since he transmigrated and obtained the Prediction System, he had rarely encountered this situation.
But every time they encounter one, it's a life-or-death crisis!
The unknown loomed over Xiao Yun like a dark cloud, leaving him momentarily at a loss.
call!
The power of death roared in, forcibly pulling him back to his senses.
"How can you get distracted while fighting me?"
The Son of Death chuckled, took a step forward, and pure death power spread out.
"This is—the time between the demise of all things!"
In an instant, Xiao Yun felt that the space-time he was in no longer existed, leaving only a black and gray expanse.
Time, space, fate—everything loses its meaning here, leaving only endless death.
But in the next second, everything suddenly changed.
"This is the path to the rebirth of all souls!"
Dark gray death energy began to surge, and a blurry, immature world appeared before our eyes.
The colors are so simple, yet they feel incredibly beautiful.
One by one, blurry figures appeared in that world. Family, friends—those who were familiar or strangers—smiled at Xiao Yun, reached out their hands, and invited him to embrace his new life.
"It's all an illusion!"
Xiao Yun gritted his teeth, focused his mind, and forced himself to calm down.
"it's useless."
The Son of Death said calmly, walking to his side and patting him on the shoulder like a friend: "Life will instinctively resist death, but—it will not resist rebirth."
His voice echoed endlessly in my mind.
Suddenly, some voices emerged, seemingly in response.
In an instant, Xiao Yun felt as if many residents had appeared in his mind; they were all himself, yet none of them were himself.
"what!"
Xiao Yun let out a low roar, and countless spiritual consciousnesses of the same origin instantly overwhelmed him, his mind almost turning into a complete mess.
And a change is beginning to occur in him.
Even if the descended being has no life force, it will begin to die under the drive of the power of death, and then be reborn!
Within the flames, limbs sprouted like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, and in a short time, the descendant transformed into a monster too terrifying to behold.
The portion that originally belonged to Xiao Yun became increasingly smaller and weaker.
The expectation in the eyes of the Son of Death grew stronger, as he looked at Xiao Yun's flickering soul flame as if he were looking at a ripe peach.
He hadn't actually reached his full potential, and forcibly elevating him to legendary status would have a significant impact on his future development.
But the moment he saw Xiao Yun, the moment he saw the "Eternal Burning Blood" on his body that represented "from life to death," the Son of Death had to consider—
"This may be my only chance to truly become whole and take control of my life and death!"
Therefore, even if forcibly increasing his strength would cause him to stagnate, and even if it would prevent him from reaching the peak of his mastery of the power of death, he did it without hesitation.
And clearly, he won his gamble!
Xiao Yun's soul fire is about to be extinguished, and his inextinguishable blood is within easy reach!
But just then, a voice that sounded like a dream rang out.
"A fleeting moment of light illuminates the entire universe, transforming this moment into eternity!"
The mithril clanged, and on the hilt, the inscription of a knight's sword burst forth with dazzling light.
The Light of Purification Descends!
For ten seconds, ignore all negative effects below the god level.
In an instant, all the negative effects on Xiao Yun disappeared, and his eyes became clear.
The Son of Death's expression darkened slightly, but his mood remained largely unchanged.
Even after briefly purifying the effects of the domain, Xiao Yun still couldn't resist his power.
"It's just a matter of prolonging its existence."
He said calmly, raising his hand and pressing it down on the mithril sword to prevent it from causing any more trouble.
The moment my fingertips touched the mithril sword, a sharp pain shot through me.
"A mere ordinary weapon, yet it managed to wound me!"
The Son of Death's eyes flashed, and without any hesitation, the power of his entire domain pressed down on the Mithril Sword.
"It's too late."
Xiao Yun chuckled lightly, flicking his finger towards the mithril sword: "Let's begin, let this world—witness your true brilliance!"
clank!
The mithril sword trembled slightly, its sword cry resounding throughout the heavens and earth, and the inscriptions engraved on the hilt lit up one by one.
A simple iron sword, a plain bronze dagger, a blood-red scimitar, a golden knight's sword —
Within the sword-shaped rune, immense power flowed like mercury, surging into the dark gold gem at the very center, which resembled a heart.
hum! ! !
The [Proof of Heroes] was activated, bursting forth with dazzling light, and the legendary will that transcended time pierced the Son of Death with pain.
A golden beam of light shot into the sky, accompanied by the clanging of swords, marking the start of the advancement ceremony for the Mithril Sword.
Even death cannot interfere with this legendary ritual.
"Damn it!"
The Son of Death let out a low growl, and his target quickly shifted to Xiao Yun.
Once Xiao Yun is killed, the Mithril Sword, no matter how powerful, is just a weapon that can be dealt with easily.
At this moment, the effect of [Light of Purification] on Xiao Yun was nearing its end.
The effects of the death field reappeared, and his mind and body began to twist.
But Xiao Yun remained completely calm, quietly taking out a rotten iron ring from his pocket and putting it on his head.
boom!
A blazing flame erupted from his body, dispelling the shadow of death.
Within the flames, countless figures emerged, and fervent chants resounded: "Hail! Hail the immortal ruler! The master of life and death! The supreme king of blood and fire!"
Amidst the chanting, crimson flames intertwined, forging a magnificent throne.
Xiao Yunduan sat on the throne, his crimson-gold eyes slowly lowered, coldly looking at the Son of Death who was blocked from the flames.
"Even with the help of equipment, the illusory realm of creation shouldn't be able to contend with the realm of legends."
The Son of Death flicked away the burning flames from his hand, squinted at Xiao Yun, a flash of surprise and confusion crossing his eyes: "When did you—advance to the sixth sequence?"
"Just now, when you were waiting for me to die..."
Xiao Yun said calmly, and an old savings book appeared in his hand.
[Ding! All points in your savings account have been withdrawn. We wish you a pleasant journey and welcome you to visit us again!]
With a crisp notification sound, the savings book in my hand slowly dimmed until it disappeared.
At the same time, a blue wind drifted from the void, swirling around the throne and making Xiao Yun's power even more solid.
"The power derived from transforming the illusory into the real is still somewhat different from the original body, but—it's enough."
Xiao Yun muttered to himself, slowly rising from the throne and walking toward the Son of Death.
[Harmony between Heaven and Man], [Eternal Burning Blood], [Star State] — all activated!
With each step he took, his aura grew stronger, until he stood beside the Son of Death, his aura becoming equal to his.
"The final blow, let's end this."
As Xiao Yun spoke, he beckoned, and the upgraded Mithril Sword pierced through the clouds, slowly falling into his hand under the brilliant sunlight.
The upgraded Mithril Sword is even more ancient and mysterious, with dark gold patterns spreading from the [Hero's Proof] to the entire sword body, appearing and disappearing in the sunlight.
Within that sword light, the Son of Death seemed to see countless heroes of the past, standing behind Xiao Yun as if they were invincible.
But the Son of Death laughed.
He raised his hand, and the power of death transformed into a grotesque longsword.
"As you wish, my friend!"
Before the words were even finished, the momentum between the two sides began to rise again.
The dead throughout the world froze in place, even the overlords of the dead knelt down in agony, the power of death raging out and surging into the bodies of the Children of Death like a tidal wave.
Above Xiao Yun's head, the [Crown of Bloodshed] trembled slightly, and the crude domain began to shatter under the suppression of death.
But in his hands, the mithril sword shone even brighter, tearing through the gray-black death and causing a sudden burst of light.
After obtaining the upgraded Mithril Sword, Xiao Yun understood the power it contained.
That was no ordinary A-grade power, but a forbidden power that transcended mortals and was enough to make the gods willing to cast a curse upon it!
At this moment, he was not holding a sword, but the life and death of the entire world.
Even if he is as insignificant as a firefly, even if it is wishful thinking for one person to save the world.
But when he stands here, holding this sword, and tries to follow his own path, even the gods cannot stop him!
"I'd give my life for this sword; victory is assured!"
Xiao Yun murmured softly and swung his sword down.
"Hahaha, regardless of victory or defeat, from this day forward, life and death are one!"
The Son of Death laughed loudly and clashed with the longsword in Xiao Yun's hand.
The two figures froze in mid-air, and the world seemed to freeze in that moment.
The next second, a crisp cracking sound echoed throughout the world.
boom!
In the clash of life and death, centered on the two individuals, the sky shattered like a mirror, revealing fine cracks resembling a spiderweb.
The earth trembled, the power of death surged and roared, and all the dead cried out to the sky in unison, as if it were the end of the world.
Everyone was shocked, but then everything returned to calm.
"What happened—"
Countless people were filled with doubt, only to be pleasantly surprised to find that the encroachment of death was slowly receding.
The dead stood frozen in place like puppets with their strings cut, and even the king-level and overlord-level dead were experiencing a continuous decline in their power.
On the defensive line of the New World Alliance, a handsome paladin gazed eastward, his eyes flashing: "Life and death—return to oneness—"
On the ancient city's defense line and at the Ideal State Research Institute, Gu Shen's main body and clone simultaneously turned their heads to look south, their eyes flashing with a sharp light.
"That's over there too."
