Chapter 944: Endless Death!
Now, Ling Zhan's skill levels should be the highest in the lower realm.
All of his skills have been directly upgraded to SS+ tier.
For other Professionals, their highest skill level is only SS tier.
This applies to talents as well.
Perhaps only after breaking through to level 200 and ascending to the upper realm will these skill levels change again.
Furthermore…
These are only the skill levels among all the major races.
Whether there are Demon Sovereigns in the Ten Thousand Demons Abyss whose skills surpass SS tier remains unknown.
After all, it's clear that the Ten Thousand Demons Abyss originates from the legendary upper realm.
All four forbidden lands come from specific domains or planes in the upper realm.
Given that, the creatures of the four forbidden lands must have their own unique powers.
The SS+ tier 'Suppression' not only severed the shared consciousness of many demon soldiers, but also caused severe disruption to some of their senses.
For example…
Sight, hearing, touch—under the influence of such a large-scale effect, every demon soldier was severely affected.
As everyone knows, perception is critical in battle. It lets you anticipate enemy attacks and respond appropriately.
If perception is suppressed, it's like being made blind—you can't 'see' how the enemy is attacking.
For the demon soldiers, this is fatal.
With their combat power drastically weakened, they were crushed by the ferocious counterattack from the Amethyst Legion and Demon-Slaying Legion, unable to resist at all.
At this moment—
Ling Zhan had already locked his sights on the group of demon emperors frantically fleeing.
Since he anticipated the battlefield would change the moment he used the Suppression skill, as the main commander, Ling Zhan naturally knew these demon emperors would immediately try to escape.
A good hunter never lets his prey escape.
And so…
Amid the flurry of magical flames in the sky, Ling Zhan, still fighting solo, used SS+ tier 'Wind Riding Technique' and 'Lightning Flash', streaking through the sky with inconceivable speed, heading straight for the fleeing demon emperors ahead.
This group of demon emperors were the ones responsible for linking the minds of all demon soldiers with their secret technique.
As they fled, glancing back to see the rapidly approaching figure, they were terrified and began to shout in panic.
"Use every skill to run!"
"Use all your trump cards!"
"Hurry! That demon is coming to kill us!"
One demon emperor who seemed to be the small leader screamed frantically at his companions.
Hm…
Compared to these hideous, monstrous demons, Ling Zhan, as a human, was much more pleasant to look at.
Yet this human male was a living nightmare for the demons.
But…
Just as the small leader finished speaking—
Whoosh!!
A battle spear suddenly pierced through the air, blowing apart the body of a nearby Blazing Flame Demon Emperor!
As a level 175 Blazing Flame Demon Emperor, he naturally had multiple lives that would continuously revive him.
But before he could fully revive—
Boom!!
An extremely hot fireball, shrouded in black flames, smashed right into his face!
Normally, the Blazing Flame Demon Emperor was immune to 90% of fire damage, but after being hit by this fireball, not only did he fail to defend against it, he screamed in agony!
The intense pain from the explosion and burning nearly caused him to lose consciousness!
"Damn it…"
"Why is this guy's fireball hurting me?!"
The Blazing Flame Demon Emperor was both shocked and terrified.
Normally, even SS-tier fire magic could barely hurt him thanks to his demonic body.
He'd slain countless mage Professionals who relied on fire spells, using his innate resistance.
Yet now, against this non-specialist's fireball, he was actually being burned!
"Wait…"
"No, something's wrong!"
"There's a problem with this flame!"
At the same time, the Blazing Flame Demon Emperor realized his HP had dropped to 3%. Even after using a demon immortality secret technique, he still couldn't fully revive!
Instead, a notification popped up on his status panel!
[Warning! Resurrection-type secret techniques, skills, talents, equipment effects, and items are all forbidden!]
[Status Source: Endless Death.]
Huh?!
Endless Death status?!
The Blazing Flame Demon Emperor was shocked and hurriedly checked his status bar.
He saw a small black flame icon!
When he checked it closely, the description for Endless Death appeared.
[Endless Death: While this status persists, healing effects on self are reduced by 90%; every second, you lose 3% of your maximum HP to burning; resurrection-type secret techniques, skills, talents, equipment effects, and items cannot be used.]
What?!
The Blazing Flame Demon Emperor's expression was filled with horror!
This…
What the hell!
No wonder when he used an emergency healing secret technique, which should've restored 100% HP, he only recovered 10%!
And even more terrifying…
The duration of the 'Endless Death' status wasn't shown!
What did that mean?
It meant this status could be permanent!
At this moment, the Blazing Flame Demon Emperor was utterly in despair!
He'd never imagined there was such an unreasonable debuff in the world!
Buzz!!
In the two seconds that his HP was still draining, the Blazing Flame Demon Emperor used a skill called 'Demonfire Purification'.
Trying to dispel the debuff with it!
But…
It didn't work!
The Endless Death status remained!
This status couldn't be cleansed!
My god!
"Ah!!!"
The Blazing Flame Demon Emperor let out a desperate and unwilling howl at the last moment!
No wonder the non-specialist ignored him after hitting him with a fireball.
Any target afflicted with Endless Death—who could possibly survive?!
In the shocked eyes of Krodas, Avina, and the others, this level 175 Blazing Flame Demon Emperor perished in despair and unwillingness.
Even with multiple lives to revive, they were all useless now.
For Krodas, Avina, and all the other commanders, this scene was utterly shocking!
They had never witnessed anything this outrageous before!
