Golden Yuanbao and Little Silver Flower floated in the air.

Although their auras were somewhat chaotic due to continuous fierce battles, their eyes remained sharp, firmly locked onto the enemy in front of them.

Their opponent was in an even more tragic state.

Os Weng Ruifu had lost a good part of its body, one wing was completely shattered, and there was a huge, constantly oozing black hole in its abdomen.

But it could still move, attack, and defend in a proper manner, its vitality was extraordinary, even more tenacious than a cockroach.

It dug its remaining sharp claw firmly into the ground, and its crimson pupils burned with an unyielding, hateful flame.

Like the most loyal guard, it stood in front of Qing Fuyou, desperately spewing hellfire.

Meanwhile, Qing Fuyou was on all fours, crawling on the ground like a worm, its mother-of-pearl-like carapace dim, covered with fine cracks, and its aura was extremely weak.

Already severely injured, forcibly using the God Rank skill End Tide was a burden so heavy that even it could not bear it.

Only the slightly rising curve of its back told everyone that it was not dead.

Mingxi's pupils suddenly contracted!

She saw that Qing Fuyou's forelegs and hind legs, which should have been arthropod limbs, were twisting and stretching in a way that defied biological structure... vaguely... forming outlines similar to human arms and legs.

Although still covered with obvious carapace, the splayed five fingers and the shape of the joints were distinctly different from insect limbs.

There are many humanoid and semi-humanoid Transcendent creatures in the world; Little Silver Flower, Black Pearl, Emerald Green, Chiyu, and even Xueqing Ting all belong to this category, with more or less humanoid structures in their body parts.

But no matter how humanoid, the claws of any Transcendent creature are always in beast form!

There are no exceptions.

This is an iron law bestowed by the laws of the universe!

But this Qing Fuyou's hands and feet were clearly becoming humanoid!

A strong, unprecedented sense of crisis, originating from the depths of her soul, like ice water poured over her, made all the hairs on Mingxi's body stand on end!

Her sixth sense was frantically warning her—this Qing Fuyou had a problem, a big problem!

"It must be killed!"

At this moment, an unprecedented killing intent rose in Mingxi's heart.

This feeling was not as strong even when she faced the Butterfly Demon who once took her 'life'.

"Little Silver Flower, Sunbathing, Silent Chains."

"Golden Yuanbao, Eternal Night Purgatory!"

Both Golden Yuanbao and Little Silver Flower felt the urgent and tense emotions transmitted from their Beast Tamers, and without any hesitation, they mobilized the little energy remaining in their bodies at all costs.

Sunbathing.

Bloodline Link.

Silent Chains forcibly controlled time and soul!

Boiling characteristic.

Burning Will.

"Thunder!"

The forbidden chapter from the abyss unfolded.

Golden Yuanbao abandoned all defensive stances, hovering in mid-air, the lightning glow shimmering around it receding like a tide.

The ring-shaped shackles on its feet shattered like works of art.

In their place was an existence that devoured all 'light' and 'darkness'.

The last deadly silence before a storm.

An indescribable chill, centered on Golden Yuanbao, quietly spread, even suppressing the mysterious pressure emanating from Qing Fuyou.

"Thunder!"

A low, hoarse roar emanated from Golden Yuanbao's throat.

Abyss Roar, the destruction of its own rules.

Abyss Gaze, which the opponent was constantly enduring.

Abyssal Gaze... one skill after another, active or passive, was released by Golden Yuanbao.

The darkness around it spread like a living thing.

Energy was converging, rules were being parsed.

Light, color, and sound were constantly being stripped away and reorganized, as if a cosmic epoch was being born.

Finally, a drop of ink-black tear rolled from Golden Yuanbao's abyss-like swirling eyes.

"Plop!"

Born in reality.

Fallen into nothingness.

But it completely dripped down.

Eternal Night Purgatory, Descent!

"Buzz—!"

There [N O V E L I G H T] was no earth-shattering explosion, just an absolute stillness, as if time and space had been forcibly paused.

An absolute, all-consuming sphere of darkness instantly expanded, completely engulfing Qing Fuyou.

Eternal Night Purgatory, an absolute domain centered on the Eye of the Abyss.

Within the domain, light was completely absorbed, plunging into extreme darkness, with only Golden Yuanbao's eyes continuously shining like bloody sun and moon.

Eternal Night Purgatory is different from other skills; it relies on mechanism damage.

All targets covered by this skill will gain one layer of Eternal Night Immersion every half minute.

Each additional layer of immersion will weaken one of the target's abilities.

First layer, reduces movement speed and attack speed by about 2%.

Second layer, reduces healing effectiveness by 5%.

Third layer, takes attack damage based on 1% of the Purgatory Lord's energy value per second.

Fourth layer, one-quarter of the target's skills will be randomly sealed.

Fifth layer, all of the target's characteristics will be silenced.

Sixth layer, the target is bound by shadow and immobilized for 25 seconds.

Seventh layer, the target will be deeply bound to Eternal Night Purgatory and can no longer leave the skill range by any means, including teleportation and forced displacement.

Eighth layer, the target's soul begins to be refined, and its total energy value begins to continuously and permanently drain.

Ninth layer, the target is completely corrupted and permanently transformed into Golden Yuanbao's Demon-type subordinate.

When the Demon-type subordinate is born, Eternal Night Purgatory is automatically dispelled.

This skill is naturally not without a solution; targets have a chance to escape before being immersed to the seventh layer of Eternal Night.

But the difficulty of escape lies in the fact that Eternal Night Purgatory itself is a 'living' entity; it moves with the locked target's movement.

Unless it moves beyond Golden Yuanbao's mental control range, Eternal Night Purgatory will be forcibly recalled.

Additionally, the range of Eternal Night Purgatory will slowly expand over time, or rather, with the increasing number of Eternal Night Immersion layers.

Powerful shadow tentacles will periodically generate within the skill's range, randomly attacking enemies, causing damage and imprisonment.

This is the full extent of Eternal Night Purgatory's abilities!

No values, all mechanisms!

If Eternal Night Purgatory has any drawbacks, it's that its wind-up is relatively long, as it needs to fuse seven skills.

Another is that it can only attack a single target!

So Little Silver Flower trapped the troublesome, dying Os Weng Ruifu, while Golden Yuanbao attacked Qing Fuyou.

And facing the powerful engulfment of Eternal Night Purgatory, the extremely weak Qing Fuyou also felt a fatal threat.

Time slowly vanished like a dripping spring.

Time also rapidly flowed like a rushing river.

Eternal Night Immersion stacked layer upon layer.

Second layer.

Third layer... Fifth layer... "It's actually Eternal Night Purgatory?"

Although Ding Buxiu was coordinating and commanding the battle, a part of his mental energy was constantly paying attention to Mingxi in the arena.

Seeing Golden Yuanbao's skill, which clearly contained the aura of laws, he, with some knowledge, quickly identified the origin of this skill.

The fusion skill of the Seven Abyss Skills, from the abyss, buried in the abyss.

Eternal Night Purgatory!

A combination skill that theoretically exists, but in reality, only exists in theory.

Because normally, no Demon-type Transcendent creature can gather all seven complete Abyss Skills.

It's important to know that these skills cannot be condensed into Skill Stones, so there are no corresponding Skill Stones.

Therefore, one can only rely on one's own talent and opportunities.

He never expected that one day, he would personally witness this combination skill appear in the world.

"Wisdom, wisdom."

The Wisdom Box, shaped like a music box, squatted on his head and let out a low cry, its slender metal antenna bending into a curve to scratch his face.

Ding Buxiu raised an eyebrow, "Is that so? Then it's truly remarkable."

Mingxi's Thunder Demon Bird, which originally had no hope, had truly grown up.

It had an infinitely brilliant future!

Ding Buxiu could recognize Eternal Night Purgatory, and some knowledgeable Beast Tamers and powerful pets naturally also had a sense of it.

Among them, also included Qing Fuyou, trapped in Eternal Night Purgatory.

In fact, for some reason, it was even more familiar with Eternal Night Purgatory than Ding Buxiu, and knew better how terrifying a skill Eternal Night Purgatory was.

No time left.

It absolutely couldn't let the Eternal Night Immersion reach the seventh layer!

It laboriously raised its hands, which had already clearly formed, and quickly made a hand seal.

In its compound eyes, the Milky Way vortex seemed to stop spinning, leaving only endless depth and... an almost mocking calmness.

"Thunder, thunder."

Golden Yuanbao noticed its movement and immediately reported what it saw to Mingxi.

Mingxi frowned: "Hand seal?!"

This news shocked Mingxi to her core.

Hand seal?

Humanoid hands and feet?

Could it be that this Qing Fuyou... is actually human?!

"Holy crap!!!"

This thought made Mingxi's head buzz.

First, Qing Fuyou was indeed Xinglan Bei Yi's pet; she personally saw him summon it from his Pet Space.

Then, Qing Fuyou evolved into a God Rank during the battle, and could skillfully use various God Rank skills, as if it had been God Rank all along.

Next, Qing Fuyou's body began to become humanoid.

Finally, this thing actually started making hand seals!

If Mingxi's deduction was correct, then—

"Damn Descent Organization, they're getting more and more extravagant with their tricks!"

Humans, pets, indistinguishable!

"Buzz—!"

While Mingxi was brainstorming, a seemingly faint energy fluctuation rippled within Eternal Night Purgatory.

It gently spread out, centered on Qing Fuyou.

An incredible scene unfolded.

This fluctuation actually pushed aside the immersion of Eternal Night Purgatory, as if some entity had gently lifted the black veil covering the heavens and earth.

It was as if a tiny and fragile mayfly had given a negligible bump to a towering giant tree.

Yet, it mysteriously touched the laws of the universe, causing the crushing force of the giant tree to inexplicably lose most of its power!

If Ding Buxiu and his Wisdom Box could see it, they would try to tell Mingxi.

Qing Fuyou was using its racial skill—Mayfly Shakes Tree.

This skill, like Emerald Green's Rejuvenation Symbiosis, is a special life-saving skill that can only be used once in a lifetime.

Of course, Mingxi didn't actually need Ding Buxiu's reminder.

Because she had Guangguang.

With the situation escalating to this point, there was no need for this final match to adhere to rules, and Guangguang naturally took it as his duty to protect Mingxi's safety.

"It even used its life-saving skill?"

Mingxi frowned.

Like Rejuvenation Symbiosis, the cost of casting such a heaven-defying life-saving skill is extremely heavy.

The light from Qing Fuyou's body was almost completely extinguished, as if it would run out of oil and die at any moment.

But it was still making hand seals.

Golden Yuanbao stared intently.

The next second, the space in front of Qing Fuyou rippled like water.

A pure silver octagonal cage-shaped Pet Space completed its spiritual virtualization.

Golden Yuanbao's three titanium alloy eyes widened!

This Qing Fuyou actually summoned a Pet Space, and it was a ten-sided Pet Space!

Was it human, or a Transcendent creature?!

"Boom!"

After the Pet Space was spiritually virtualized, a fierce, ancient aura, filled with the most primitive violence, also descended.

A figure stepped out from the space.

"Thunder, thunder, thunder, thunder!!!"

This was the first time Mingxi had heard Golden Yuanbao call out so... chaotic, so incoherent.

Xiao Ye was truly panicked.

A strange Transcendent creature appeared in its line of sight.

It was nearly five meters tall.

Its form resembled a Dragon-type Transcendent creature covered in thick rock armor.

But unlike common Dragon-type Transcendent creatures, its body lines were rougher, more savage. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Its spine seemed like an ancient mountain range, its scales mottled, like rock plates that had endured millions of years of wind and frost erosion.

Dark red light faintly emanated from between the plates, like magma surging from deep within the earth's core.

Its head was larger than normal proportions, giving it the appearance of a big-headed doll.

Its muzzle was thick, and its fangs were like interlocking mountain rocks.

On its head grew a pair of huge, dark golden bone horns resembling a crown.

Its tail was like an alligator's, covered with rock spikes, and a gentle sway brought forth a low sound of wind and thunder.

This was yet another Transcendent creature completely unknown to Golden Yuanbao!

Moreover, the energy aura emanating from this pet was directly comparable to God Rank!

"...Damn, they're really playing nested dolls here!"

Although almost half of the arena was covered by Eternal Night Purgatory, Eternal Night Purgatory only affected a single target.

So even if this Dragon-type Transcendent was summoned by Qing Fuyou, it was not affected by Eternal Night Purgatory.

In other words, there was no need for Golden Yuanbao to describe it; it was already exposed to everyone's sight.

"Boom—!"

Almost at the same time, Eternal Night Purgatory was finally unveiled by Mayfly Shakes Tree.

Qing Fuyou still lay prostrate on the ground.

But its appearance had changed again, becoming even more human-like.

"Crack... crack..."

In this exceptionally stiff and extremely oppressive atmosphere, the carapace on Qing Fuyou's head suddenly let out a few crisp sounds!

The carapace peeled off like ceramic shards, revealing... a blurred, bloody human face.

Although there were no clear eyebrows or eyes, it was indeed a human face!

It raised that eerie face, looked towards the command platform where Mingxi was, and its blurred mouth seemed to open and close once, emitting a silent syllable before—

"...Ming...xi, you truly... are an interesting little fellow."

Mingxi frowned, staring at that blurred, almost photoshopped face.

"So, you wouldn't happen to be the particularly troublesome Holy Lord of the Descent Organization, would you?"

"Haha, it is I, the Holy Lord."

Starsea Cup, the Holy Lord revealed.

Who the hell would have thought that this Holy Lord would appear as a contestant's pet?
