Chapter 460: Chapter 460: Seizing the Body

Song Jian rushed forward, finally experiencing just how strong Neiyem was.

“Even though he hasn’t reached the first rank in terms of combat power, it probably isn’t far off,” Song Jian thought to himself.

Sword Silk

Flash Thunder Strike

Sweeping Sword Style

Spiritual Sword Control Technique

Even without wielding the Golden Demonslaying Sword, Song Jian’s offensive power significantly surpassed the other players. When he merged with the Golden Demonslaying Sword, his other attributes weren’t as remarkable – however, when it came to attack damage, he could fully contend with a Level 30

Lord level Boss.

Each attack greatly disrupted the protective force around Neiyem’s body. Like ripples in water, its frequency and amplitude were increasing.

Under Song Jian’s continuous assault, Neiyem’s protective force finally produced a sound suggestive of shattering under the strain.

“Crack-”

Countless transparent crystal shards splashed around Neiyem. His defense significantly weakened momentarily, allowing Song Jian to inflict over five hundred points of damage with only a standard attack.

Once Neiyem’s defenses were broken, his vitality points plummeted drastically. However, due to high-end healing potions, Song Jian managed to maintain his vitality points around a thousand marks.

“When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes back at you!” Neiyem, perhaps foreseeing his own downfall, suddenly emitted a ring of dark aura that repelled Song Jian. His blood-red eyes emerged from his cloak and stared at Song Jian as he spoke in a low voice.

“Abyssal Land, heh, I’ll visit someday,” Song Jian stabilized himself and lightly laughed while looking at Neiyem.

Neiyem had less than 30% of his vitality points left. In under ten minutes, Song Jian could vanquish him. His gaze at Neiyem also grew strange, as though he was looking at a bundle of equipment.

The final bosses of dungeons like this often dropped high-quality items. Song

Jian estimated that at least one golden-tier equipment piece could be obtained

this time.

Maybe because Song Jian’s gaze had enraged Neiyem, Neiyem roared loudly and his black aura surged out like a tidal wave, transforming the surrounding tens of meters into an area engulfed in swirling thick black mist.

Heart-wrenching screams emanated from the black mist, causing the entire cave to faintly tremble, with pebbles starting to fall from above.

In the center of this black mist, a black spatial rift slightly wider than a finger suddenly appeared. It was as if an eerie eye had suddenly opened within the black mist.

At that moment, Neiyem’s roar became even more frantic.

Song Jian cautiously looked up, staring at the rolling black mist at a distance.

He did not want to be caught off guard by any unexpected big moves from Neiyem, so he unconsciously prepared the starting move of Sacred Parry.

At this moment, all the black mist suddenly surged towards the barely alive Begs, just like a tide. The black mist swarmed into Begs through its facial features. Begs, who was on the brink of death and had nearly had its soul extracted, had no capacity to resist and could only passively accept it.

Its massive body slowly began to float. The black mist entered Begs like a multitude of snakes through its eyes, mouth, and ears. Begs’s body was constantly trembling, seeming to be in extreme pain, but it could not even utter a single groan.

Song Jian stood aghast, preparing to step toward and attack. However, a system message blocked his attempt, saying “Unable to lock onto attack target”, this left him with no choice but to stand by and watch.

Quickly, all the black mist from Neiyem’s transformation entered Begs’s body. The once golden and shining Emperor Scorpion had now transformed into a pitch-black hue. Even its broken scorpion tail had regrown. However, the new tail was flashing with a black metallic luster, distinctly different from the rest of Begs’s body.

Boom!

The Emperor Scorpion’s eyes abruptly snapped open. Their original azure blue color had shifted to a blood-red, as a surge of hot black flame ascended around its body.

“The Abyss is watching you!” Begs said slowly, his tone and rhythm exactly like Neiyem’s.

At that point, Song Jian noticed a spatial rift, about as long as a finger, appearing not far from Begs. The rift was unfathomably deep and pitch black, continuously emitting black mist.

These black mists were as if they possessed a consciousness. As they emerged from the spatial rift, they furiously surged towards the surrounding cavern walls. In no time, the originally golden glowing cave was covered in black and began to emit a black glow.

“It’s recreating its environment!” Song Jian suddenly had this realization.

“Only in the abyss can you truly understand its greatness!” Begs waved its two giant pincers around as if embracing something, there was an intoxicated expression on its face.

In an abyssal environment, except for abyss creatures, all attributes would forcibly be reduced by more than 30%. This was the abyss’s suppression of other creatures and could not be mitigated.

“If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t need to resort to taking over this waste!” Begs, with blood-red eyes fixed on Song Jian, had an angry countenance.

If looks could kill, the fire in Neiyem’s eyes would have long burned Song Jian to ashes. Neiyem, who was originally just a soul body, could have greatly increased its strength by seizing a stronger physique. Maybe it could even break through the first rank of combat power.

However, it reluctantly had to take over Begs’s body on the brink of death. In Neiyem’s eyes, the level 30 Lord level Begs was merely a good mount and pet. But now, it could only occupy a pet’s body, completely destroying its future potential, taking away all hope of returning to the Abyss for competition. “You blocked my path of advancement, I’ll let you know the consequence of becoming an enemy of the Abyss!” After briefly adjusting to Begs’s physique, Neiyem launched a fierce attack on Song Jian.

in its perspective, Song Jian, who had had all his attributes reduced by 30%, was no longer its match. Even with only 30% vitality left, it could still suppress its opponent.

But after engaging in combat, Neiyem discovered to its horror that Song Jian’s strength had unexpectedly increased, not decreased. Initially, it had a slight advantage, but now it was being completely overwhelmed.

“This can’t be, can’t be; what happened!!” Neiyem roared with a panic-stricken face, looking completely lost.

Boom!

Song Jian smiled faintly, a surge of black flame ascended around his body as well. This flame held a higher temperature than the flame on Neiyem’s body and looked even more profound.
