NOVEL WEB Chapter 546_2
In addition to various techniques from the inheritance of the Underworld Emperor, Zi Liyuan began to crazily unleash one super-powerful single-target attack after another, all aimed at Kang Mazi.
As for Yongzheng, he was getting brutally beaten up by Liu Yiqing and Shen Yurou together.
On the other hand, the old witch with demon souls, the Three-Clawed Blood Dragon, and the five fierce Ghost Kings did not take action; instead, they surrounded the area, subtly blocking the escape routes for Kang Mazi and Yongzheng.
Having sealed a thousand kilometers of space and fought with five seventh-grade sanctum entities for a while, Mo Yi's spirit was already incredibly worn out.
Moreover, she still needed to control a large number of demon souls to hinder the progress of Zhu Wu and Li Fengwen.
Now, she needed to rest and focus on providing support.
Bone Spear, Poison Spear, Spear of Death, Forest of Bone, Disaster of Bone, Elemental Arrow, Death Shadow Arrow, Death Spear Rain, Necrotic Shadow Storm...
Zi Liyuan's soul controlled single-target and area-of-effect skills with an extremely limited impact radius, all targeting Kang Mazi alone.
The powerful attacks made Kang Mazi suffer immensely, with no choice but to put up various protective measures and forcibly endure them.
However, Zi Liyuan's attacks were so potent that often a single skill could break through one or two of his shield barriers.
Especially the strikes of Death Shadow Arrow and Elemental Arrow.
The lethality of the former could only be described as terrifying.
This skill, when it struck Kang Mazi, not only broke through two of his shields and one protective barrier but also tore open his king's domain on the surface, hitting his flesh.
If it weren't for the fact that its power had been greatly weakened and reduced through successive layers, he might have been killed in one shot by this tiny Death Shadow Arrow!
As for the Elemental Arrow, it made Kang Mazi's face look particularly grim.
Because this skill included various elements, and with the boost from the Death Domain, attaching the Power of Death, it directly evolved into the elemental power of each elemental series!
The addition of one type of domain power turned into at least five types of elemental domain powers, naturally resulting in a situation where some attributes countered others.
Thus, the Elemental Arrow easily tore through Kang Mazi's king's domain!
And it caused considerable damage to Kang Mazi.
The performance of the Elemental Arrow, of course, did not escape Zi Liyuan's notice.
This gave him a flash of insight.
When this skill was initially fused, its damage wasn't high, and the bonus from each level was not satisfying.
The only good news was that this thing was remarkably effective when breaking shields.
But unexpectedly, now that he had reached the seventh-grade sanctum and used the Death Domain to boost it, this skill gave him such a surprising delight.
"Indeed, the gap between the seventh-grade sanctum and the sixth-tier legendary is like heaven and earth."
The skill was still the same, and the skill level was still LV25. The only difference was that Zi Liyuan's own tier had been advanced.
So, such changes could only mean that he still needed to dig deeper into each controlled skill to unleash its potential.
And right now, Kang Mazi was severely injured, especially due to Zi Liyuan's relentless barrage, which left him in a fluster.
Only at this moment did he realize that he was fighting against a seventh-grade sanctum entity even more powerful than himself.
By this point, Kang Mazi knew that if he kept holding back, he would surely perish here today.
"Damn Death Lord! You're forcing my hand!"
Cursing silently, Kang Mazi glanced at the not-too-distant Yongzheng, who was in an even worse state, with a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.
In an instant, an extremely dense aura of scarlet blood appeared on Kang Mazi's body.
His originally pale complexion, under this thick scarlet aura, made him look as if he was soaked in a pool of blood, his whole body turning blood-stained.
"Yongzheng, at this point, I can only sacrifice you for my success, rest assured, the Great Qing dynasty will rise again in my hands!"
As Kang Mazi's heart echoed these words, the blood in his body began to boil.
In the next moment, Yongzheng, who was struggling to defend, suddenly felt his body going out of control.
The blood inside him inexplicably became boiling hot, and at the same time, a feeling of extreme weakness swept through his spirit and flesh.
Initially resisting the continuous corroding Power of Death from the Law Chain, while having to dodge attacks from Liu Yiqing and Shen Yurou.
Plus the injuries caused by the sneak attacks from Ying Xueji and Li Fengwen, Yongzheng was already at his wit's end.
As a result, it was as if a hole had been opened within his body, his own power directly spilling out from this opening and dissipating into nothingness.
This left him completely frozen!
At this moment, Kang Mazi looked like a boiled prawn, becoming extremely reddened.
Hundreds of years ago, Kang Mazi had obtained a cultivation technique pertaining to bloodline cultivation.
From that time on, he had been scheming to augment his bloodline.
This involved a secret technique that forcibly merged the power of his bloodline descendants into himself to elevate his strength!
This power stemmed from a bloodline curse; every direct descendant of Kang Mazi had been tampered with by him.
Originally, he planned to use this method when aiming to break through to the realm of a Great Emperor in the future.
Sacrificing his own bloodline descendants to ascend to the throne of the Great Qing dynasty as its Great Emperor.
Regrettably, the idea was sound, but those ancestors who performed unfathomable deeds harshly severed his path to ascend further within the Sea of Realms.
This is also why all the kings before him in the Wild Boar Skin dynasty had died.
You see, for a Sixth Tier legendary individual, living up to five hundred years was not a problem at all.
And the Wild Boar Skin dynasty had been established for just over five hundred years.
Thus, those kings had all died in battle during the great invasions by alien races of the Sea of Realms, one after another.
Behind the scenes, Kang Mazi's various schemes had taken effect.
He plotted against the ancestors above him and, at the same time, via the tether of blood, obtained some of their power, enhancing his own foundational potential.
This made him the de facto controller of the Wild Boar Skin dynasty.
As for later rulers like Yongzheng and Tongzhi, they were deliberately left by him.
The stronger his bloodline descendants were, the greater the benefits he would reap when using the bloodline secret technique later on.
Now, at a moment of life and death, Kang Mazi could no longer care about such matters.
As a Seventh Grade Sanctum like Yongzheng, all the power within him was stripped and merged into Kang Mazi through the bloodline.
This caused Kang Mazi's combat power to directly soar a level.
As for whether Yongzheng lived or died, that was no longer his concern.
To him, bloodline descendants were expendable; if they died, they died. If he managed to escape later, he could just establish the Great Qing dynasty anew and find powerful female lords to bear his offspring, easy as that.
Kang Mazi's strength surged monumentally in a blink of an eye.
With a wave of his hand, his King's Domain even expanded to a range of a hundred meters.
With the expansion of the King's Domain, although Zi Liyuan's various attacks could still tear through openings, they could no longer hit his flesh and blood.
"What an evil method, Kang Mazi, to think you use your bloodline descendants like guinea pigs!"
Having fused with a part of the Divinity of Death and obtained the legacy of the Ghost King, Zi Liyuan could spot issues with various methods at a glance.
Kang Mazi's current condition was completely about extracting the power from his bloodline descendants and augmenting it onto himself.
This kind of power stripping and merging allowed him to explosively increase his strength by a level in a short time.
However, if he doesn't refine this bloodline power quickly, his own bloodline will suffer a backlash.
At this time, Zi Liyuan was quite relieved that Tongzhi and Guangxu had already been slain while attacking Kang Mazi and Yongzheng.
He was even more relieved that the old demoness Cixi had no blood relation to Kang Mazi.
Otherwise, with Cixi also at a Seventh Grade Sanctum, and controlling a King's Domain, adding her strength to Kang Mazi would have allowed this scoundrel to surge at least to the Late Stage of Sanctums within a short time!
If that really happened, it would be a major trouble for him!
But now...
A bloody red gleam also flashed through the depths of Zi Liyuan's eyes.
You've activated your Bloodline Power, forcibly extracting power from your bloodline descendants to bolster yourself, so if I also activate my Bloodline Power to augment myself, that's not too excessive, is it?
