Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 459 First Appearance! A Transcendent Legacy!

The black shadow surrounding the 'Nameless King' began to fluctuate like never before.

Li Xia could even sense a hint of fear in the phantom with two horns.

"Roar!!"

A furious roar echoed through the tomb, and moonlight arrows continued to rain down on the 'Ancient King'.

Li Xia's eyes were calm as water, but this was more like the calm before a storm, as if a greater upheaval was brewing.

The nameless king's left eye was equally clear as water, and the two understood each other's meaning in the instant their eyes met.

Such tacit understanding is always present between masters.

"Buzz!"

The rain of moonlight arrows abruptly stopped, and the silence of the night transformed into a bolt of lightning that shot out from the chest of the 'Nameless King'.

The tomb, which had been chaotic and noisy, suddenly fell silent, with only the crackling sound of rubble falling from the walls.

The sudden silence startled even the Second Demon King, who had been suppressing his anger against the Nameless King.

The dark red eye looked ahead warily.

Suddenly, a surging wave of air exploded in the tomb like a storm, and the dispersing smoke and dust were instantly swept away by the airflow.

The time before my eyes suddenly became clear.

Li Xia stood with his legs slightly bent, holding the spear high with his left hand, the blade of the spear, which was originally gleaming, was now covered with a layer of ink-like black light.

Countless tiny black and red lightning bolts, accompanied by sharp cries, vanished around his body, while the emanating Conqueror's Haki distorted the surrounding air.

Visible, semi-transparent shockwaves continuously emanated from where he stood.

The 'Second Demon King' felt as if he had returned to a thousand years ago, to the 'Nameless King' who was clearly just the lowest slave, yet had gained the following of everyone and killed his way to him with a long sword.

ridiculous!

How could a king be nameless!

They're just using you. They just want you, this lowly slave, to risk your life and fight for them, to get rid of the evildoers for these cowardly little people who are afraid of death!
The nameless king remained silent. After everything he once cherished was destroyed at will by the demon king, he had only one goal in life.

Kill the Demon King!
Li Xia lowered her body even further.

This simple action made the Demon King tremble slightly.

The person before me seemed to overlap with the figure from a thousand years ago.

When all his methods were easily suppressed by that sword, when that man carried the expectations of the entire world on his shoulders, when he condensed those expectations into the blade of the sword, lowered his body and pointed it at himself.

"Spear Bone - Divine Evasion!"

Xiaotian's tongue lolled out as it panted heavily. It had just dragged the entire Moon Silver Wolf from the eighth floor directly to the entrance of the tomb in just a few minutes.

This is certainly because the seal on the tomb has been broken, the darkness that isolates the light will no longer be born, and the labyrinth will no longer change.

But being able to drag four people from the bottom floor to the outside in just a few minutes is definitely a burst of full speed.

"Phew—Third brother, you did a great job!"

Awoo, lying on the dragon egg, also panting heavily, said:

"It should be safe now!"

Aowu's consumption was also considerable. First, he used gravity to counteract the weight of the others, and then he had to constantly construct a gravitational field to help Xiaotian accelerate.

The mausoleum has winding paths, requiring complete concentration and all one's energy to construct them according to the different paths.

Moon Silver Wolf and the others were clearly still somewhat shaken, staring blankly at the thick, churning clouds overhead.

Although the mist that had been lingering over the entire mausoleum and Forbidden Forest had disappeared, the low-hanging dark clouds made the entire mausoleum appear even lower.

What puzzled them even more was that they had no idea what had happened; all they saw was a chilling sword light suddenly appearing from the floor.

Immediately afterwards, the entire tomb was smashed through, and the writer's 'strange little pets' all jumped up as if their tails were on fire, frantically leading them to run out as fast as they could.

"this."

Yuna looked at Aowu, who was huddled inside the dragon egg, and thought for a long time but couldn't find a suitable adjective. In the end, she could only creatively describe it based on its appearance:

"Mr. Egg Snake, is it really okay to just leave the writer alone in there like that? He's the Demon King!"

Egg. Egg-shaped snake?
Aowu paused for a moment, then flew into a rage, its dragon whiskers standing on end:
"Pah! Your whole family are egg snakes, call them Grandpa Dragon!"

The overwhelming dragon's might and domineering aura caused even Moon Silver Wolf and the others to tremble involuntarily.

After grumbling and fussing for a while, he finally said impatiently:
"You can't get involved in the battle below, and the space is too small for even us to interfere. Just relax."

That old bastard is no match for His Highness!

I've looked at the panel too. It's ruthless, definitely top-tier Tier 3. But the boss isn't someone to be trifled with either. After so many dungeons, he's already reached the pinnacle of Tier 3.

"Can----"

Aria wanted to say something more, after all, that was the Demon King, someone the ancient warriors had gone to great lengths to eventually seal away with the Nameless King in a tomb.

"boom"

A low hum quietly began, and everyone fell silent, searching for the source of the sound with suspicion and uncertainty.

The earth trembled slightly. Black Charcoal and Howling Sky turned around abruptly, their eyes warily fixed on the tomb behind them.

This action also alerted the others, who turned around and stared in disbelief at the swaying tomb.

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but the magnificent above-ground structures of the entire mausoleum seem to be expanding in size.

The roar grew louder and louder, and to their astonishment, a huge explosion came from the tomb.

The tomb first bulged outwards suddenly, then seemed to contract and collapsed inwards.

A blazing beam of light pierced through the entire tomb and shot into the sky, disappearing straight into the clouds.

"Rumble rumble rumble—"

Lightning crackled wildly within the clouds, its blinding brilliance surging and flashing within the dark clouds, appearing only faintly through the dense foliage.

With a strange and dangerous sense of mystery, the pillar of light continued, and the entire cloud layer churned around it.

A massive vortex of clouds formed, and this magnificent spectacle made everyone forget everything else, just staring blankly at the rolling dark clouds overhead.

"this----"

Alya opened her mouth hesitantly, but didn't know what words to use to describe what she had seen.

The beam of light slowly dimmed and disappeared, and the clouds, no longer attracting light, also stopped spinning and dispersed in all directions.

The brilliant sunlight shone directly through the gaps in the clouds, forming an incredibly dazzling golden pillar of light. Black Charcoal's ears twitched, and the magatama in its eyes immediately began to spin as it squinted towards the direction of the tomb.

A figure emerged from underground, bathed in a golden beam of light, which seemed to coat him with a dazzling golden edge.

Black Charcoal's eyes gradually widened, and the kitten's ears twitched incessantly. Xiaotian grinned, and its tail was already wagging like a propeller.

"Meow!"

The three little ones excitedly rushed straight towards Li Xia's direction.

Li Xia put away his spear, patted the heads of the three little ones one by one, and sat down on a rock that looked good to him while the Moon Silver Wolf stared in disbelief.

"You...you really killed the Demon King?"

Aliya rushed over, her eyes wide, staring intently at Li Xia, and said with a mixture of amazement and doubt:

"Or are you, like that 'Nameless King,' corrupted by the Demon King?"

"Pink-fuzzy dumpling, what are you saying? How could the boss be corrupted by such a lousy thing?"

Does he deserve it?"

"I don't care. If the Demon King really corrupts the whole world, then it's all over. Maybe it's just the beginning and you haven't felt it yet!"

At this moment, Aria was overwhelmed with a sense of responsibility. As a 'runaway imperial princess,' this was her duty!

After all, according to the laws of this world, the entire Tresia Empire belongs to her family.

"No, I need to get it tested!"

After saying that, under the unspeakable gazes of his companions, he took out all sorts of strange and unusual trinkets from his body and small bag.

Yuna and the others were even becoming somewhat numb to it. It was just a Holy Rank scroll, a Holy Rank magical artifact, a secret technique.
No, where did Aria get all these ridiculously expensive things that you can't even buy with money?

Ignoring the busy work around him, Li Xia would wave a small lamp in front of himself and recite prayers to himself, checking if he had any mutated Aliya.

They were chatting about underground matters with the three little ones in the chat channel.

"The Demon King covered the Nameless King's soul with his self-generated, reversed primordial demonic energy. The so-called occupation is to gradually adjust the frequency and fluctuation of one's own primordial demonic energy until it is consistent with the Nameless King's soul."

This completes the occupation and reversal of life. He must ensure the integrity of the nameless king's body, because if it is damaged, the soul will also change.

This caused an anomaly in the soul channel, which was extremely troublesome and problematic for the Demon King.

"No wonder. In other words, whoever fights the Nameless King and inflicts damage to a certain extent will have their demonic energy weakened, allowing the Nameless King to break free temporarily."

And this is a positive cycle: the more damage is done, the clearer the Nameless King becomes, and the greater the interference he can exert on the Demon King's actions.

Xiao Long rested his chin on his hand. After seeing the panel earlier, although he had a lot of confidence in his boss, he still had some doubts.

The nameless king is far too strong, yet he happens to be one of the three places that must be chosen. Could any other apostle really defeat such an opponent?

Moreover, they have a high probability of being immortal.
"Immortality is also a disguise of the Demon King. People at the time tried to completely destroy the Demon King, but they found that no matter what kind of wounds they left on the Nameless King, they would recover. In fact, the wounds were transferred to the original demonic energy."

Moreover, they dare not use large-scale power because the Demon King has a defunct ultimate ability: to absorb magic and convert it into magical power for his own use.

Let's just seal it away.

Li Xia covered his mouth and coughed heavily. He had used a skill that was not yet fully mature, namely the "Spear Bone Divine Evasion" that he had envisioned, which combined "Fist Bone" and "Divine Evasion".

Its power was astonishing, directly shattering the 'Nameless King', and the scattered fragments of his soul allowed Li Xia to glimpse a small part of his memories.

However, it also backfired, causing considerable internal damage, which will likely take one or two days to fully recover.

Now even breathing feels like being cut by a knife inside my body.

"The most important thing————"

Li Xia's voice suddenly turned serious, and the three little ones couldn't help but move closer together, as if they were plotting something loudly, huddled together head to head.

"I've discovered the reason for this global war!"

Generally speaking, the original world marked by multiple temples is peaceful. Only when a turning point in fate is reached will the mark be triggered, arousing the interest of the temples to compete for it.

Only when the world reaches a turning point in its destiny will the fate of the entire world be shaken and thrown into chaos.

The temple can easily replace the native inhabitants with its apostles through 'descent' to wage war for world domination.

But when the world is at peace, fate is uneventful and there is little output. Even the temples are not easy to replace the natives of the original world.

Because the power of the temple is too great, this act of linking the fate of the world and replacing the natives with apostles could cause a huge shock in the peaceful native world, and might even lead to the collapse of the entire world.

One or two, or a small number, would be fine, but the battle for supremacy involves hundreds of apostles. If they all descend, the world might truly crumble.

Unless this world has already been incorporated into the palace as a pasture, becoming an appendage of the palace.

"Ancient tombs represent the past of this world, royal palaces represent the present, and Ace University represents the future."

Li Xia said seriously:
"You must occupy two of them, that is, the past, the present, and the future, in order to completely occupy this world."

This should be a necessary condition for conquering the peaceful, original world!

The three little ones didn't dare to breathe loudly, listening attentively to Li Xia's story.

Knowing their boss's temper well, they knew that something really bad was about to happen!
Sure enough, Li Xia paused, summarized the above, and dropped a bombshell.

"So why did the Palace suddenly decide to take over this world?"

Li Xia recalled the scattered soul fragments after he shattered the body of the 'Nameless King,' the Demon King's unwilling roar, and the barely perceptible 'thank you.'

When those fragments of the soul come into contact with the body, abrupt flashbacks of fragments occur.

These are the most unforgettable memories for the nameless king and the demon king.

One of the memories even held Li Xia captive for several minutes before he finally snapped out of his daze in shock.

"I saw something in the fragments of the souls of the Second Demon King and the Nameless King."

Their power is all related to this thing.

Li Xia's voice grew increasingly serious, even carrying a hint of excitement.

"That is a ruin, a ruin that does not belong to this world."

That's a transcendent facility for inheritance!

Aowu and Heitan's eyes widened suddenly, and they looked up at Li Xia with a mixture of surprise and delight.

"If I'm not mistaken, this is the contingency plan that Transcendence set up, a legacy facility left for me!"
