Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

After all, this path is too difficult. Is he asking every generation to selflessly sacrifice everything for their compatriots, like moths to a flame? Can this truly be realized, or is it just a beautiful wish?

Perhaps the only one who firmly believes in ultimate victory is Cang Kai.

"Tap, tap, tap."

He walked confidently towards Xi Ya.

At this moment, Xi Ya was as petrified as a rock, not raising her sword even when Cang Kai stood before her.

"Do it," Cang Kai smiled, "You are a friend who fights alongside us. You fight for me; how could I let you die?"

"I..."

Xi Ya lowered her gaze, her expression changing dramatically, the veins on her hands holding the long sword bulging and even making a cracking sound.

She knew that once she thrust this sword, all the pride she had nurtured since childhood as part of the royal family would shatter completely.

But do I really have the right to choose? Must I really bury what was shaping up to be an extraordinary life here on this obscure, inferior planet?

Xi Ya’s grip tightened more and more, until the hilt began to deform, and the tip of the sword trembled!

"Thud."

A sharp blade pierced through Cang Kai’s chest.

Xi Ya looked up in shock, as the blood-covered Zoltan emerged from the space behind her, the slender dueling sword like a black poisonous snake, accurately striking Cang Kai’s heart.

"Zoltan, you..."

"Now is not the time for softness! Survive, do everything you can to stay alive!"

Zoltan spoke quickly in a low voice, then turned to the divine envoy and shouted, "I want to exchange my points for the [Lites Flower]!"

This sudden change surprised even the divine envoy. It was certain that there was no one else beside it, suggesting Zoltan had used some special means to overhear its conversation with Xi Ya.

This isn’t surprising; after all, he is a shadow. How else could he protect his master without knowing their status at all times?

It glanced down at the blood constantly flowing from Cang Kai’s chest, saying, "The hunting points will be settled only after death."

Zoltan shouted, "The destructive energy in my sword has already shattered his life force; you can sense it!"

"At this level, his complete death is only a matter of time unless an upper-level being reconstructs his body!"

The divine envoy looked at Zoltan with an amused smile, not troubling him further, and flicked its finger, sending a golden petal floating towards him.

"Although somewhat against the rules, consider it an advance reward for you."

Zoltan grabbed it and, with a touch of mana, crushed it into juice, hastily feeding it to the dazed Xi Ya who was staring at Cang Kai.

Then he reached out with his thought, scanning Xi Ya’s body back and forth, until the magnificent life energy erupted within her, constantly transforming her body, releasing a long sigh of relief.

"Xi Ya, Xi Ya..."

Zoltan held Xi Ya’s hand, as if wanting to say something more, but found that his body was gradually fading.

This meant Cang Kai was completely dead, and he had earned enough points to complete the task and needed to leave.

Some trials allow trial takers to linger for a while after passing, but the hunting ritual offers no such opportunity to continue interfering.

"Survive, only by surviving can you..."

Just a few words left his mouth before Zoltan’s figure vanished completely.

Xi Ya’s pupils gradually focused, her facial muscles twitching, and all the muscles in her body began to tremble with exertion.

"I suggest you conserve your strength."

At this moment, the cold voice of the lizard god envoy rang out: "The effect of the Lites Worm is strong, but not strong enough to give you a chance to challenge a heroic spirit."

"I don’t mind your killing intent towards me, but such a futile challenge will impact the subsequent hunt. If it affects the spectacle of the ceremony, I will have a headache."

"Especially..."

The lizard god envoy looked at Cang Kai’s body: "Especially when the main course has already been wasted."

It sighed lightly: "I don’t know if this thin hero rescuing beauty act can satisfy the gods."

"Clang!"

A sharp hum exploded in the space, as the body of the rebel army traitor not far away was shredded by sword qi, while Xi Ya sheathed her sword, her gaze having unknowingly turned cold.

She said nothing, the blood crystal power surged, and she disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye.

"That’s more like it," the lizard god envoy showed a hint of a smile, "I hope this final hunt is a bit more exciting..."

Because the previous wrath of the god had killed a large number of prey on an entire floating gunboat and nearly all of the low-tier prey, and Cang Kai had slain two king tiers, leading to a severe shortage of hunting points.

The three Awakened, even if they killed all the prey, would not have enough points to clear them all.

In other words, this hunting ground is bound to usher in a spectacular internecine struggle.

Of course, the drama of fellow beings killing each other had actually already started long ago...

The divine envoy looked at the now-quiet cave, where only scattered rubble and a few lonely corpses remained.

It walked to Cang Kai’s body, suddenly raising its foot and stepping directly on his head!

"What I hate most about humans is your self-righteous virtues and beliefs!"

"Even the weakest slaves treat me as just a powerful beast."

"What qualifies you, this weakling, to stand on high?"

"Do you really think that by sacrificing and overestimating yourselves, you are a more emotionally advanced species?"
