Those who reincarnate must die.

The giant serpent has been defeated, and on the other side, the phoenix's struggles are becoming increasingly futile. (Google search for more information)

Even the strongest regenerative ability cannot create something from nothing; it ultimately consumes energy. And Luo Wei's life-drawing process is precisely about absorbing that energy!

Poor phoenix, having roamed the underworld for thousands of years, had never seen such a bizarre ability. Its body gradually withered, its feathers began to fall out, and it could no longer even fly. It crashed to the ground and eventually died as its life slipped away.

"puff……"

Suddenly, a sacred gall bladder pierced through the phoenix's abdomen, and a pair of iron claws tore open the opening, from which Luo Wei emerged.

He still maintained his half-eagle form, and appeared to be taller and stronger than before.

Luo Wei's life absorption not only allows him to use his opponent's life energy to strengthen himself, but also allows him to temporarily gain a portion of his opponent's power.

The life energy of a Titan troll is so abundant that this is probably the most satisfying meal Rowe has ever had!

Having gained new power, Luo Wei turned his gaze to the special demons who were fighting the other heroes. He flapped his wings and flew away with boundless power. With the help of the Holy Gall he carried with him, demons died wherever he went. Even his teammates from the Third Altar could not see how he made his move!

"I feel that this absorption has brought about a qualitative change in my body!"

After defeating all the enemies, Luo Wei stopped, flapping his wings and gripping his talons tightly: "The power I gained this time should last a long time!"

"Congratulations, Boss!" The lucky Lanqi stepped forward. "Your strength has increased, and our altar can obtain more resources. At this rate, you'll eventually replace Zeus and become the leader of the Shen tribe!"

"What kind of talk is that?" A man with a mustache walked up from the other side. "If you ask me, Boss Luo is no less powerful than Zeus now!"

"Hahahaha..." Luo Wei was in high spirits, but he hadn't lost his basic self-awareness: "Zeus has been able to hold the top spot in the Shen Clan for many years, how could he be so easily surpassed? But after this mission, I'm going to give that Ning Yi a good talking-to. I heard that guy has been up to no good lately, investigating my movements in reality... Hmph, overestimating himself!"

"You've wronged Ning Yi..."

A voice that was both unfamiliar and familiar reached Luo Wei's ears.

The unfamiliarity lay in the fact that the voice wasn't from his teammate.

He recognized the voice; he did indeed know who it belonged to.

Luo Wei turned around in surprise and found a person standing on the huge corpse of the phoenix. It was none other than Zhang Lang!

"The person investigating you isn't him, it's me!"

"It's you?" Lowe's hooked beak trembled slightly. "I was thinking that if I had some spare time during this mission, I'd go catch up with you. I never expected you to deliver yourself to my doorstep!"

Zhang Lang checked the time: "There's less than an hour left before the mission ends, let's not waste any more time!"

"Wait!" Luo Wei suddenly raised his hand to stop them. "Before we start, let's agree beforehand that this is a one-on-one fight between the two of us. No one else will be involved, right?"

Zhang Lang nodded: "Today, let's just settle our personal grudges."

Although Zhang Lang believed that the bounty hunters at Altar No. 4 deserved to die, as a hero, he also knew what wiping out an entire altar meant for the Shen clan.

He only came here to kill Luo Wei. As for the others, he could let them live first and make amends for their past sins through their contributions.

"Didn't you hear me?" Luo Wei looked at his teammates around him: "Get out of here, the farther the better! The fight between me and this kid isn't going to be easy to control. Don't blame me if you get caught up in it and lose your lives."

The others at the fourth altar looked at each other, some obediently pushing back, while others were unwilling to accept it.

"Boss, what makes this kid so arrogant?" Lucky Lanqi scoffed. "If you ask me, we should just swarm him and take him down. You're really going to try and have a one-on-one duel with him?"

"You bastard!" Lowe roared, "Don't you have any dignity as a hero? We bounty hunters may stop at nothing for the reward, but when facing a respectable enemy, we must still stand tall!"

"But boss..." Lanqi took a step forward, still wanting to insist, but Luo Wei's attitude was very firm. With a flap of his black wings, a gust of wind swept in and blew her away.

"You guys take Lanqi and leave. Now it's my turn with him."

With that, Luo Wei turned around and looked up at Zhang Lang: "Sorry to keep you waiting."

Zhang Lang snorted coldly: "I'm not stingy with the time I give you to arrange your affairs after death."

"And what about you?" Luo Wei's eyes narrowed slightly. "Before you die, is there anything you want to say?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud bang was heard, and Zhang Lang's figure vanished!

The moment he disappeared, the huge phoenix corpse beneath his feet suddenly trembled violently, its feathers scattered, its body twisted, and it bent downwards from where Zhang Lang was standing, as if it had been nailed to the ground by an invisible nail!

As for the ground beneath the phoenix's feet, it also trembled astonishingly. The enormous energy caused the ground within a few thousand meters to be lifted up by half a foot!

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Upon seeing this, Luo Wei laughed wildly: "Fool, did you really think I would duel you? That was just an excuse to keep you standing still!"

The other reincarnators around them stopped retreating and surrounded them, laughing loudly. Lan Qi, who had just been shouting, was grinning from ear to ear: "Boss, how was my acting? This kid really thought we were arguing!"

"Well done!" Luo Wei raised his hand and patted Lan Qi's head, then turned to look at the phoenix corpse that was twisted beyond recognition.

"That attack just now was accelerated even further than the one that killed Orochi. It was the strongest Sky Strike I've ever unleashed. This kid is probably already minced meat. Even with the strongest regenerative abilities, he won't be able to recover!"

"What a pity. I really wanted to ask him, what does the Holy Gallbladder taste like when accelerated to its limit?"

Just then, the phoenix's corpse suddenly moved!

With an invisible slash, the huge, twisted corpse was split in two, and Zhang Lang slowly walked out from it, still holding the Holy Gallbladder that had just been smashed down in his hand!

This scene left everyone present speechless, and Luo Wei couldn't believe his eyes.

"This...how is this possible?"

Zhang Lang weighed the Sacred Gallbladder in his hand and looked at Luo Wei: "You just said you wanted to know what this thing tastes like? I can help you try it."

As he spoke, Zhang Lang brought the sacred gall to his lips, opened his mouth, and took a crunchy bite...

Just like eating a regular apple!
