Chapter 1 The End

"It's over!"

"This Demon God Phantom is too strong!"

Everyone watched the Demon God Phantom swing its axe at Shi Feng again, their mouths gaping.

The Demon God Phantom's attack was like a large-scale area-of-effect spell, but without any casting time—completely instantaneous. And it could use it repeatedly…

Most importantly, this attack could severely injure even high-ranking war angels and Tier 4 heroes. How could players withstand it?

Even players with invincibility skills probably wouldn't be able to.

Ordinary players didn't know that there were no truly invincible skills in God's Domain. Only defensive magic skills could withstand certain attacks. If the attack power exceeded the defense limit, damage would still be taken.

The Demon God Phantom's power was at least at the Tier 5 level, possibly comparable to a Tier 5 dragon's attack. An attack comparable to a Tier 5 dragon could easily destroy the defensive magic array of an NPC city. The invincibility magic skills players currently possessed probably couldn't withstand such an attack.

General invincibility skills could only withstand Tier 4 magic skills, and were ineffective against Tier 5 magic skills. Otherwise, players with invincibility magic skills wouldn't be instantly killed by Tier 5 monsters.

The collapsing space within the temple frantically devoured Shi Feng, leaving him no way to avoid it.

Suddenly, golden divine runes appeared around Shi Feng, constantly swirling around him, giving off an indescribable sense of holiness.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the entire temple shook. The terrifying impact even reached outside the temple, clearly felt by everyone in the Hell Legion. The power was earth-shattering.

"It's over!"

"This trial is a trap. It's not something we players can challenge."

Everyone present shook their heads and sighed, watching the dust rise in the temple.

If the Demon God Phantom didn't have such a bugged attack, the high-ranking war angels and Tier 4 heroes might have succeeded. Unfortunately, the Demon God Phantom was too strong, far beyond what players could challenge.

Everyone on Zero Wing's side also had gloomy expressions.

Ordinary death was one thing, but death inside the temple meant having to delete their accounts and start over.

"No, there's a faint golden light coming from the temple!"

Just when everyone thought it was over, they saw a faint golden light shining in the dark temple, like a candle flame in the darkness.

"He blocked it?"

Hell狂啸 (Hell Kuang Xiao) stared intently at the temple as the dust gradually settled. Shi Feng was still standing in front of the treasure chest, looking somewhat disheveled, with his health bar depleted by more than half. He hadn't been instantly killed by the Demon God Phantom's attack.

"Is he even human?"

The members of the Hell Legion were dumbfounded.

To survive an attack comparable to a Tier 5 dragon's was inhuman.

A Tier 5 dragon's attack could destroy a city, but it had only taken away half of Shi Feng's health. His defense was unbelievably high.

"Insignificant adventurer, it seems your luck is truly good. You actually managed to break through at the last moment, successfully grasping the magic array of that damned ring." The Demon God Phantom narrowed its eyes at Shi Feng, and the entire temple's magic power turned cold. "However, your good luck ends here. That ring can only save you once. Do you have the ability to withstand my next axe?"

The Demon God Phantom raised its giant battle axe with both hands, closing its eyes slightly. The surrounding magic power went berserk, gathering towards the axe. The concentrated magic power formed a tangible force.

Black hole!

A super-small black hole formed directly at the center of the battle axe, attracting everything around it. The terrifying gravity shattered the surrounding space, turning it into nothingness…

"It wasn't using its full power before?" Shi Feng said with a wry smile, looking at the super-small black hole.

As the Demon God Phantom had said, he had finally broken through to become an Intermediate Magic Master at the crucial moment, successfully activating the Seven Luminaries Ring's magic array. But even with the magic array activated, he hadn't completely blocked the Demon God Phantom's attack.

The Seven Luminaries Ring's Absolute Domain needed a few minutes to be used again.

And even if he could use it now, it probably wouldn't be able to withstand that super-small black hole…

"Guild Leader, run while the Demon God Phantom is charging up! We'll have plenty of chances to get Legendary item fragments in the future!" 水色蔷薇 (Shui Se Qiang Wei) couldn't help but shout in the team chat.

The Demon God's previous attack had been terrifying. Just watching from the outside, she could feel the space within a radius of five or six hundred yards of the temple heating up. This power was far greater than the previous attack. If he was hit, he wouldn't even have ashes left.

"Six seconds left?"

Shi Feng heard 水色蔷薇 (Shui Se Qiang Wei)'s advice and glanced at the treasure chest's progress bar, feeling speechless.

The high-ranking war angels and Tier 4 heroes had already exchanged more than ten blows with the Demon God, and he had even deliberately delayed, doing nothing after being hit, but only fourteen seconds had passed…

The high-ranking war angels and Tier 4 heroes couldn't be relied on anymore.

"Escape? Do you think you can escape?" The Demon God Phantom looked at Shi Feng, as if it had guessed his thoughts, and sneered. "Daring to steal the treasure chest, you only have one fate: to be turned to ashes and disappear from God's Domain forever!"

As soon as the Demon God Phantom finished speaking, the surrounding space became increasingly solid due to the super-small black hole, as if made of steel. Not to mention using teleportation magic, even moving was extremely difficult.

"Thief! Disappear from God's Domain completely!"

The Demon God Phantom suddenly opened its eyes, revealing a strange red glow. Instantly, the battle axe in the Demon God Phantom's hand shattered completely, directly pushing the super-small black hole towards Shi Feng.

The power of the super-small black hole increased the gravity of the entire temple several times over, and everything in its path was reduced to nothingness.

At this point, it was impossible to even approach the super-small black hole, let alone resist it. Approaching it would instantly turn them into nothingness.

"You want to kill me? Not so easy!"

Shi Feng looked at the slowly approaching super-small black hole. Escape was impossible. He went crazy and took out the Crimson Dragon Flying Ship from his backpack, placing it in front of him. At the same time, he used the only Tier 4 defensive magic scroll in his backpack to fortify the Crimson Dragon Flying Ship.

The Crimson Dragon Flying Ship possessed a Tier 3 Advanced Defense. Generally, only Tier 4 Legendary power could damage the Crimson Dragon Flying Ship. Its defense wasn't much weaker than the walls of a large NPC city.

The giant Crimson Dragon Flying Ship was like a mountain, standing directly in front of Shi Feng. A layer of magic barrier appeared on the ship's hull.

"Block it for me!"

The super-small black hole slammed into the Crimson Dragon Flying Ship.

At the moment of contact, the Tier 4 defensive magic barrier on the Crimson Dragon Flying Ship dissipated, as if a candle had met a flame, instantly dissolving. The Crimson Dragon Flying Ship fared slightly better, but the rate of disintegration was still rapid. Its durability plummeted, dropping by hundreds at a time.

For the Crimson Dragon Flying Ship, which only had 5,000 durability points, it only lasted for about two or three seconds before its durability dropped to less than 2,000 points…

However, as the Crimson Dragon Flying Ship's durability decreased, the rate of decrease also slowed down.

From several hundred at the beginning, it gradually became two or three hundred, then over a hundred. Clearly, the power of the super-small black hole was constantly diminishing.

"It has to hold!"

Shi Feng looked at the Crimson Dragon Flying Ship, which had less than 500 durability points left, and felt extremely anxious.

If the Crimson Dragon Flying Ship couldn't withstand it, he would definitely be instantly killed by the super-small black hole with his current health.

Five hundred… three hundred… one hundred…

Just as Shi Feng felt it was over when the durability reached zero, the super-small black hole began to collapse and dissipate. Everything returned to calm.

As the super-small black hole dissipated, the Sub-Legendary treasure chest in the center of the temple finished its countdown and opened with a bang. Instantly, seven-colored rays of light illuminated the entire temple, forming a seven-colored pillar of light that could be seen from anywhere in the second layer of the Starlight Tomb.

"It's done!"

Shi Feng looked at the opened treasure chest, overjoyed. Without saying a word, he reached out and grabbed the items inside, putting everything directly into his Epic-grade backpack.

Although Shi Feng was fast, the treasure chest was large, and there were more than twenty items inside. Shi Feng had only taken a dozen when the Demon God Phantom in the distance completely flew into a rage.

"Thief, you won't leave here alive!" The Demon God Phantom roared.

As the Demon God Phantom shouted, the sound of shackles breaking could be heard all around it. The Demon God Phantom's tier instantly soared from Tier 4 to Tier 5. The power was so strong that even 地狱狂啸 (Hell Kuang Xiao) and the others outside the temple couldn't help but tremble, wanting to turn around and run for their lives.

"Not good! Everyone retreat!"

Shi Feng's expression changed drastically when he saw the enraged Demon God Phantom. He felt that this had exceeded what he knew and reminded everyone before using the Tier 3 Instantaneous Movement Scroll he had prepared in advance, disappearing from the temple.
