I'm not just human!

The black sphere opens from the top and then quickly contracts.

Without a doubt, this extraordinary monarch who signed the contract with the Celestial Lord is preparing to flee.

Are you kidding me? Even Nerva and the Ancient Slaughter Machine were smashed to pieces by that pitch-black Star Silver Dragon. What else is there for Him to fight?

Using the "Moon Crystal Sphere" to draw upon the power of the stars, and then having the Star Spirit "White Hunt" devour the Moon Crystal Sphere to create the "Medusa Realm," is His strongest killing move, which has been used to kill countless opponents.

Now that Medusa's realm has lost its function, He is naturally preparing to escape.

As for Nerva? Of course, that's beyond our control.

"You little bastard, you..."

Suddenly, a furious, aged voice slowly rang out from afar.

What they saw was a nearly transparent soul, which looked remarkably like Nerva.

At the same time, Nerva's shattered body was also flying in that direction, rapidly coalescing.

"Long Taoyi, don't rush to escape. Hold him off and give me some time. I need to bring out that item!"

Nerva shouted and retreated rapidly. The black snake on his back slithered and opened a hole, as if to let him in.

Upon hearing this, the extraordinary monarch, now only a head, flashed his eyes, halted the trend of the black bandages solidifying into a body, and prepared to restore the Medusa Realm.

But just then, the jet-black silver dragon that was rushing toward Him suddenly turned one of its heads around and aimed it at Nerva in the distance.

Without the slightest delay, the dragon head opened its mouth and spewed out an invisible, transparent beam of light that rushed towards Nerva!

The moment that invisible, transparent beam of light appeared, countless sounds seemed to suddenly emerge in the surrounding air, as if people were having secret talks, crying, or roaring and accusing each other.

Not only that, but countless scenes of joy and sorrow in the mortal world also flashed within that transparent pillar of light.

Just one glance at the transparent beam of light, and the extraordinary monarch, now only a head, had a completely different expression, filled with astonishment and lingering fear.

"The Pillar of Mindstorm? He actually knows the Pillar of Mindstorm?"

As a transcendent monarch, although he was relatively young and might not recognize the secret technique used by Xia Fa, he certainly recognized the divine battle technique.

His experience fighting others since childhood had taught him that if he encountered an opponent who had mastered the [Pillar of Mind Storm], he must never allow his physical body to be shattered, no matter what!

Otherwise... once you become an angel, especially a ruler, your unparalleled life force will become a joke!

Sovereigns and extraordinary monarchs... originally, whether their soul or will was reduced to a sliver, or their physical body was reduced to mere bits of flesh, they could be restored to their original state.

However, if the physical body is shattered and the soul is forced to be exposed, and then the soul is hit by the [Pillar of Mind Storm], then the soul and the will within the soul will completely collapse due to the chaos!

The physical body will also be completely thrown into chaos, making it difficult to recover!

boom!!!

Finally, the pillar of mental storm struck Nerva, whose physical body was condensing, at the speed of light.

Because Xiafa's movements were so fast, from the moment the dragon's head turned to the moment the pillar of thought storm was unleashed, and the pillar of thought storm arrived in an instant, even Nerva, as the ruler, was completely unable to react in time.

Moreover, He was already in the process of re-forming His physical body.

He could only watch helplessly as the pillar of mental storm approached, his eyes wide with despair.

"No!!!!!!!"

An extremely bizarre and chilling scene unfolded.

As Nerva was struck by the Pillar of Thought Storm, his physical body, which was about to solidify, suddenly split apart, each piece transforming into a bizarre shape.

A lump of flesh transformed into a flesh-colored slime, bouncing and jumping in the air, as if it had become an independent entity and was no longer a part of Nerva.

The other lump of flesh simply transformed into a bald little dwarf, screaming and laughing, spreading its arms and flying around in the air.

As for other physical forms, they can transform into cows, fish, sea urchins... and even all sorts of monsters.

Not only these large chunks of flesh that were about to coalesce, but even in the black sphere, some small chunks of flesh that Nerva had deliberately hidden away had transformed into flesh-colored flies or mosquitoes, buzzing around everywhere.

This was clearly a backup plan He left behind, but because His soul was struck by the pillar of mental storm, even the hidden pieces of flesh in the distance were affected!

As for Nerva's soul itself, it was instantly stuffed with a large amount of extremely chaotic and useless knowledge and information.

Countless scenes of joy and sorrow in the mortal world flashed through His body like images. His transparent soul covered his head, as if he could not bear it at all and was in extreme pain.

boom! ! !

Suddenly, Nerva's soul seemed to finally collapse, shattering violently.

As for the will within His soul, it had already crumbled into nothingness the instant He was struck by the pillar of mental storm.

boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!

As Nerva's soul shattered, the grotesque monsters formed from his fragmented body also exploded.

A flash of light appeared on the shattered pieces of meat, which then turned completely into a deathly dark red.

The extraordinary monarch, now only a head, was utterly horrified upon seeing this.

Because He had seen similar situations before.

The fact that the body turned dark red meant that the ruler was indeed dead and there was no possibility of recovery!

At this moment, the extraordinary monarch was utterly terrified, regretting that he couldn't resist the temptation and had to get involved in this mess.

Fortunately, there's still a chance to escape.

In that instant, countless black snakes suddenly hissed and rushed towards Xia Fa, biting at his dark dragon body.

Moo-!

At the same time, another sound of a cow moo came from outside the circular wall below the black sphere.

The extraordinary monarch glanced one last time at the pitch-black silver dragon that Xia Fa had transformed into, as if trying to remember him, before his head began to fade and disappear.

But just then, a soft "pop" sound came from inside the black sphere.

Immediately following, the purplish-black "bubble" suddenly expanded outwards from the center of the jet-black star-silver dragon!

The bubble was almost the same size as the black sphere, clinging tightly to the inner wall of the black sphere, which was composed of a snake's body. Starlight flowed erratically on the surface of the bubble, and the void suddenly became active.

It is... the fundamental secret technique of the Gate of Stars...

Starry Sky Bubbles!

The head of the extraordinary monarch, which was about to disappear, was naturally also included in the star bubble.

He didn't understand what had happened, or rather, even if he did, he couldn't quite grasp it.

what's the situation?

Xia Fa... isn't he a signatory to the Silver Throne?

The original secret technique that only Tefal, the signatory of the Gate of Stars, possesses is equivalent to His signature "Star Bubble." Why does Shafa also have it?

"Wait, Your Excellency, you are the Emperor of Secrets..."

Before the extraordinary monarch, now only a head, could finish speaking, his head suddenly "popped" and was directly teleported to Xia Fa's front within the star bubble.

Or rather, in the middle of the three heads of that three-headed, six-winged, jet-black, silver dragon.

The pitch-black star silver dragon that Xia Fa had transformed into had already fully charged up its three heads. Each of its mouths contained a luminous sphere formed from the pillar of thought storm, the silver of star destruction, and the silver of divine punishment. Without the slightest hesitation, it suddenly spewed them out at the head!

beep--!

drop--!

boom--!

This extraordinary monarch, now reduced to nothing but a head, had his head first shattered by the Silver Starlight, then his soul was rendered immobile by the Silver of Divine Punishment, and finally, his body and soul were both engulfed by the pillar of the storm of thought.

A burst of intense light and a chaotic storm of information erupted instantly, illuminating almost the entire black sphere.

Xiafa instantly broke free from the "critical loss of control" state, leaving only the appearance of a three-headed, six-winged star silver dragon.

This is precisely the main reason why he was willing to get involved, pretending to be immobilized by the power of spatial confinement, and voluntarily being included in this black sphere.

Only by being inside this black sphere, which is equivalent to being within the "barrier" set up by the cow-shaped Protoss, will the secret of his near-loss of control not be exposed.

Xia Fa knew that those rulers and angels who had been following him were probably already watching from afar outside Sea Urchin Island.

Under these circumstances, he naturally could not give others a handle to use against him.

Both Tefalo and the Laughing Clown had told him that once the news of "critical loss of control" got out, whoever it was, regardless of their identity or background, would be immediately sent to the church's inquisition for heresy trial.

After calming himself down, Xia Fa watched as the black snakes around him began to shrink their bodies and the black sphere slowly melted away. He breathed a sigh of relief.

Nerva is dead, of course, and so is the extraordinary monarch who signed the contract with the Celestial Lord.

"I never imagined that my current strength, even when I'm on the verge of losing control, would already slightly surpass that of a transcendent monarch who doesn't have any powerful trump cards..."

Xia Fa murmured to himself, finally gaining a clearer understanding of his own strength.

Of course, the only ones I can defeat are extraordinary monarchs like Long Taoyi, who have only signed about nine secret contracts, have no divine battle techniques, are not on the verge of losing control, and do not possess any powerful secret treasures or sealed artifacts...

However, it makes sense. If it weren't for an extraordinary monarch like Longtao, how could he have been persuaded by Nerva to come and kill him?

"Huh? What's this...?"

Just then, Xia Fa raised an eyebrow, and the three mercury dragon heads looked at the distance not far ahead.

That was... the place where that extraordinary monarch, whose only remaining form was his head, was completely killed and annihilated.

And in that place... there was a piece of corroded, wriggling rusty iron the size of half an apple!

Perhaps because it had absorbed a significant amount of the Star Destruction Silver, Heavenly Punishment Silver, and Mindstorm Pillar attacks it had just unleashed, this piece of corrupted, writhing rusty iron was frighteningly bright, like an incandescent light bulb, containing an energy density that even Xia Fa found terrifying.

That's why Shaphat suddenly understood why Alexander needed the corrosive, creeping rusty iron so much.

Judging from this, this sacred metal, Corrupted Creeping Rust Iron... seems perfectly suited for gathering all sorts of energy.

In other words, whether it is a mobile armor or a mechanical body modification, it is very necessary to use corroded, wriggling rusted iron as the core of mechanical magic to gather energy, especially the most important supernatural power among the energy.

Xia Fa, of course, didn't stand on ceremony. He opened his mouth and sucked in the corrosive, wriggling rusty iron, about the size of half an apple, and then casually fused it into a part of his dragon body.

Without a doubt, this must be the piece of corrosive, wriggling rusty iron that Nerva obtained when he dissected the twelve colors of light at the whale watching festival, worth nearly twenty million gold pounds.

Unexpectedly, Nerva was so generous as to use it as payment to this extraordinary monarch in exchange for His help.

Of course, Xia Fa understood that it wouldn't be that expensive to hire a transcendent monarch; sometimes five million gold pounds could be negotiated.

This is the estimated total compensation.

In other words, the combined reward required by this extraordinary monarch, along with the several rulers who had previously been responsible for monitoring him, a dozen or so angels, and even the demigods, was this piece of corrupt, wriggling, rusty iron.
