795 -17: The Second Door_3

In the process, Tang Xian gradually discovered that his injuries had begun to heal.

Originally, the healing rate could not keep up with the rate of new injuries, but now the situation had reversed.

On one side, Tang, with his healing rate also improved, saw the exposed white bones finally covered by newly grown flesh.

The situation was changing little by little.

Even the Nether Phoenix had not expected Tang Xian to truly reverse the situation.

Tang Xian was certain that as the obsession of a cataclysmic-level creature continued to dissipate, the life-devouring speed of Netherworld Creek would weaken.

Thus, Tang Xian’s fighting style became more and more intense, more and more reckless!

It wasn’t until the Gold-Breaking Beast and Taowu finally realized that there were no allies around to support them that Tang Xian coldly turned around.

Without any words, at this moment, Tang Xian was actually unable to maintain his combat strength at the critical point because the life-devouring speed of Netherworld Creek could no longer suppress Tang Xian and Tang.

There was no longer any suspense in this battle.

Away from the sea, Tang Xian could not use the Sea God’s power, but this trident was indeed an indestructible divine weapon.

The Gold-Breaking Beast and Taowu ended up pierced by the crystalline structure like the enemies before them.

On the vast battlefield, only decayed filth remained, with the blue crystals shattered on the ground from the terrifying confrontation just moments ago.

The site had just witnessed a fierce battle, but the scene, despite being littered with ruins, carried a broken, poignant beauty.

Standing in front of Tang Xian once again, Tang, despite his injuries still not fully healed, at least looked to have walked back from death’s door.

Tang Xian’s breathing also began to slowly stabilize, and he coldly stared at the Nether Phoenix.

The Nether Phoenix felt somewhat panicked under his gaze, realizing that as a living being, if even the dead cataclysmic-level creatures could not kill Tang Xian, then it was even less likely to drive Tang Xian away on behalf of Lord Nether Phoenix.

However, Tang Xian eventually looked away and turned his attention to the Nether Phoenix, saying,

“What is the legacy of the Nether Phoenix?”

[You are merely prey, unworthy to know or possess my legacy.]

“Then how does one become worthy to possess it?”

Tang Xian did not feel disappointed, for although rational, his fighting spirit had not subsided.

The Nether Phoenix said,

[Facing merely a heap of decay, you have taken so long, how are you then worthy of my power?]

“So, does that mean we have to fight?” Tang Xian’s trident was aimed at the Nether Phoenix.

[Although you are foolish and arrogant, you are ultimately lucky, because next, you will experience the most glorious moment of your life, becoming the sacrifice for my resurrection!]

As the Nether Phoenix finished speaking, Tang Xian and Tang felt a terrifying storm approaching.

The Nether Phoenix, finally leaving its throne, soared into flight.

It was merely the obsession of an apocalypse-level creature, perhaps far less potent in real strength than the living Nether Phoenix.

But this obsession, after devouring countless lives in the Netherworld Creek for centuries, had gained strength far surpassing that of a cataclysmic-level creature.

With an attitude befitting one who reigns over the heavens and Netherworld, it looked at Tang Xian and Tang; as its wings flapped, the surrounding blue crystals began to grow wildly.

But these crystals did not touch Tang Xian and Tang; they completely encased them instead.

The moment the encirclement was complete, just like being hit by an Exhaustive Ray, Tang Xian and Tang suddenly felt that the process of their life force recovering stopped abruptly.

This was the first second; in the next second, the blue crystals suddenly became even more dazzling and blinding.

Under the blue light, the wounds on Tang Xian and Tang’s bodies once again began to deteriorate at an alarmingly fast pace.

If the life-devouring power brought by the dozens of cataclysmic-level undead obsessions earlier was like a streak of lightning ripping through the sky, then the life-devouring brought forth by the Nether Phoenix was like bolts of thunder annihilating all existence.

The life recovery capability of Tang Xian and Tang was utterly unable to keep pace with the life loss within the domain.

Before long, Tang cried out in agony due to the pain; his injuries were severe, and although his body was made whole again, those wounds had not fully healed.

Inside the Nether Phoenix’s domain, every injury began to magnify endlessly.

Tang Xian, too, was suffering greatly, yet in this process, as his injuries increased, so did his fighting capabilities.

“We can’t delay!”

Tang Xian knew that if they continued to lose life force at this rate, he and Tang would not last a few seconds before dying.

Wrapped in golden light, with speed and strength brought to their peak, Tang Xian leapt upward, from a vantage point above, thrusting his trident towards the Nether Phoenix.

His speed and strength grew stronger and stronger, but to the Nether Phoenix’s obsession, it was nothing noteworthy.

The Nether Phoenix’s obsession easily dodged, and without even having to make a move, the rapidly worsening injuries were enough to claim Tang Xian’s life within the next few minutes.

After the opponent dodged, Tang Xian’s offensive did not end but continued with attacks at an ever-increasing speed.

However, no matter how fast he was, he could not catch up to the Nether Phoenix’s obsession.

This sovereign of both the skies and the Netherworld was, after all, the fastest one following the God of Destruction and the ruler of the galaxy.

After all of Tang Xian’s attacks failed, the rapidly intensifying injuries finally exposed a weakness.

[Your abilities are insufficient for my legacy.

Even if you obtained all of my inheritance, you could not change anything.

Therefore, it would be better to sacrifice yourself to me, to let me return to the world.]
