The power fluctuations, having reached the absolute limit of the Purgatory level, erupted from Chen Luo like a bomb.
The three at the Purgatory level were violently pushed back several steps by the sudden burst of power, barely managing to stabilize themselves.
As for Xiaoyue, who had been stripped of her Legion Commander's power, she was directly suppressed by the terrifying power fluctuations and automatically retreated into her pet space.
The three who had barely stabilized themselves, without bothering to ponder Chen Luo's words, all looked up, their gazes filled with horror as they looked at Chen Luo in front of everyone.
Chen Luo, with his back to everyone, had faint flashes of pale blue lightning dancing within his black hair.
As powerful mana surged, lightning-like patterns flickered in and out of existence around Chen Luo's body.
Chen Luo simply stood there, and waves of pressure, almost tangible, squeezed the surrounding air away.
Gazing at the Black Knights' movements, Chen Luo's dark gold eyes held an unparalleled majesty.
He lightly grasped the air with his right hand, and a pitch-black bone staff appeared in his hand.
The moment Chen Luo grasped the Nether Ancient Staff, deathly energy, potent enough to instantly turn mortals into undead, continuously surged towards him.
And on Chen Luo's right index finger, a scarlet ring had inexplicably appeared.
Just looking at this ring, the three behind Chen Luo naturally felt a surge of violent emotions.
As for Chen Luo, the wearer, a violent scarlet aura rushed into his sea of consciousness.
Chen Luo's right hand suddenly clenched:
"Quiet!"
The lightning aura, formed from surging mana, instantly annihilated the deathly energy gushing from the staff.
This sinister, pitch-black staff, after being violently cleansed by terrifying mana, was completely imprinted with Chen Luo's aura, stained with his essence.
The sea of consciousness, originally as calm as a mirror, churned violently after the invasion of the violent scarlet aura.
Vast mental power, in just an instant, completely suppressed and annihilated this trace of violent energy.
The scarlet ring on Chen Luo's hand also became docile under his forceful suppression.
Enhanced by the two S-class equipment, the power aura outside Chen Luo's body surged once more!
He felt an unparalleled completeness, even faintly touching the boundary of the next tier.
Once he broke through that membrane, it would be an entirely different world!
[You have reached the Purgatory level limit of Tier 1]
*Hoo!*
The air, under the pressure, transformed into a gale that swept outwards.
Chen Luo's hair was slightly lifted by the wind. He felt the power he had reached at his current limit, gazing at the Black Knights who had now reached ninety.
The surging power aura around him, even from ten thousand meters away, subtly suppressed the nearly one hundred Black Knights.
"Not much power, but it's barely enough..."
He struck the black staff on the ground again, raised his left hand, and spoke with immense confidence:
"I do not agree with you dying for me. You only need to believe in me, follow behind me, and I will lead you to victory!"
"Go protect the soldiers outside the arena."
"The battle that follows will be fierce!"
Su Xiao, feeling the terrifying power Chen Luo was now exuding, felt as if she had regained the feeling from the first night of the apocalypse, watching Chen Luo slaughter millions of enemies from afar.
Even though she herself had reached the Purgatory level,
Boss, are you still invincible?
Su Xiao smiled and shook her head, pulling the still worried Hu Tao along, and said to Wei Dayong:
"Let's go. Trust Boss, we just need to listen to him!"
Wei Dayong, seeing Chen Luo unleash his full power for the first time, nodded with burning eyes upon hearing this.
The three figures flashed and ran towards the outside of the gray-white land.
...
On the gray-white land, a person and a tower stood ten thousand meters apart.
Originating from the nearly one hundred Black Knights outside the stark white giant tower, the gray-white land gradually turned pitch-black.
As the number of Knights increased, the power of the gathered Knight Order grew stronger, and the land turned black faster and faster.
It was only when Chen Luo's power fully erupted that the power of the Knight Order was suppressed.
At this moment, Chen Luo, truly at the Purgatory limit, faced these nearly one hundred Purgatory-level powerhouses in a completely crushing manner.
However, the three running towards the outside did not see that Chen Luo's eyes held no trace of ease.
*Thump...*
*Thump....*
*Thump.....!*
When the ninety-ninth Black Knight walked out from the stark white gate, within the gate, in the darkness that light could not penetrate,
A muffled sound, like a drumbeat, sounded again. An eerie warhorse with scarlet eyes suddenly poked its head out from the darkness.
*Buzz!*
The suppressed aura of the Knight Order seemed to receive a powerful guidance, subtly beginning to resist Chen Luo's crushing force.
*Thump!!!*
The hooves landed heavily, and the eerie warhorse, taller than the other Knights, fully emerged from the darkness.
A special figure stepped out from the darkness.
Not pitch-black armor, but scarlet armor covering its entire body.
Unlike the neat armor of the other Knights, this scarlet armor was covered in battle scars.
It was impossible to imagine how many bloody battles the owner of this armor had endured.
On the eerie warhorse, a scarlet Knight, a hundred meters tall, stepped out of the darkness.
The other ninety-nine Purgatory-level Knights, as if finding their backbone, the scattered deathly energy, under some will, suddenly condensed!
The Knight Order's power, originally suppressed by Chen Luo, now stood on equal footing with Chen Luo!
No, Chen Luo's power was even subtly falling into a disadvantage!
The Scarlet Knight rode to the front of the other Knights, and within its helmet, the scarlet soul flame flickered slightly:
"Human powerhouse, thank you for your foolishness, which has allowed our power to advance further!"
"The Mourning Knight Order will witness the demise of humanity in this era!"
*Boom!!!*
Black deathly energy continuously surged from these hundred Knights.
The gray-white land in the center of Donghai City was visibly dyed a dead black.
The power of the previous black pillar of light had allowed the high-ranking undead within the stark white giant tower to undergo a complete transformation.
The ordinary Death Knights, originally of the Calamity level, had all advanced to the Purgatory level Mourning Knights.
And the original ordinary Purgatory-level Mourning Knight Commander had one foot already at the threshold of the Abyss level.
The undead outside the stark white giant tower, whose strength had greatly increased before,
In the end, they were merely flawed products created by a portion of the leaked residual power!
The Mourning Knight Commander, gazing at the pair of unextinguished golden eyes in the distance, instantly drew the knight's sword at his waist!
[“Land of the Dead” has undergone an anomaly! Affected by death energy, it has advanced to the rare SSS-class “Land of Death”!]
[Land of Death (Rare SSS-class)]
[Effect]:
1. The first four effects are the same as “Land of the Dead,” but stronger.
2. Newly added fifth effect “Death Scourge”: Any living being that dies in this place, unless possessing a race-inherent skill, cannot be resurrected! The souls and flesh of the deceased will be completely absorbed by the Land of Death and transformed into new undead creatures.
The black “Land of Death” completely transformed the gray-white “Land of the Dead” within a few breaths.
On the pitch-black, dead land, the scarlet Mourning Knight Commander suddenly swung the sharp knight's longsword in his hand.
Violent mental fluctuations erupted from the scarlet soul fire:
"Mourning Knight Order!"
"Charge!!!"
