Necromancer: Ahem! I'm really not Lao Liu!

Whether it was out of survival instinct or because foxes truly have nine lives as legend says, just as the skeletal scythe whistled down, the six-tailed fox king instinctively unleashed one of its tails.

Then, a magical scene happened.

The sharp skeletal scythe severed the fox king's tail in two, and the six-tailed fox king, now a five-tailed fox king, narrowly escaped death.

This miraculous effect was like opening Pandora's box, opening up a unique path to survival for the remaining beast kings.

In an instant, the scene became strangely eerie.

Whenever the skeletal scythe falls, various bloody scenes of self-mutilation and sacrifice unfold, with the beast kings sacrificing parts of their own bodies to save their lives.

Zhang Dadan was completely dumbfounded. What was originally a fantastical battle scene had been transformed into a bizarre and terrifying Cthulhu-like experience.

Zhang Dadan couldn't help but sigh, "Indeed, no move in the world is absolutely invincible. If you use a move for too long, a way to counter it will naturally emerge."

The emergence of this sacrificial ritual undoubtedly gave these beast kings a chance to catch their breath.

With the Frog King's healing abilities, the Beastmasters, who thought they had found a solution, gradually lost patience amidst the endless siege of skeletons.

Sure enough, no matter how powerful the special skills are, there is always a way to counter them. Only the army of skeletons is the solution. Beasts are finite, but skeletons are infinite. As long as you fight to the death, victory is only a matter of time.

When there are an endless number of skeletons, victory is assured.

Finally, the last two remaining beast kings—the Frog King and the Fox King—could not hold back any longer and unleashed their ultimate skills one after another.

The Frog King suddenly exerted its power, emitting a strange cry. The surrounding water elements rapidly gathered, forming a surging blue tide that swept towards the skeleton army. This was the Frog King's ultimate skill, "Blue Tide Cry".

A mysterious moonlight emanated from the Fox King, and his figure instantly transformed into several phantoms, rushing towards the skeleton horde like a whirlwind. Wherever he went, the skeletons shattered. This was the Fox King's "Phantom Moon Pursuit".

The two beast kings unleashed their ultimate techniques in quick succession, which were incredibly powerful and instantly annihilated a large number of skeletons.

However, to the Frog King and Fox King's dismay, when the skeletal scythe descended, the situation did not unfold as they had anticipated. The previous sacrificial method did not work entirely this time, or rather, it exceeded their expectations.

The consequences were naturally extremely serious, with both beast kings falling one after another.

The reason for this was that they killed too many skeleton warriors at the same time, triggering "Bone Pursuit" not just once, but more than a dozen times. The beast kings used the same method as before to sacrifice themselves, only managing to mitigate the damage once, while the remaining bone scythes mercilessly took down the two beast kings.

Thus, this fierce battle finally came to an end.

All eight beast kings perished, leaving only the lone beast king on the battlefield.

From the start of the battle until now, this Beast King has been acting like a bystander, merely overseeing the fight between the eight kings. Although it has killed some skeletons, it has only dealt with the skeleton warriors that approached it with ease, as if it hadn't exerted any effort at all.

Now that the eight Beast Kings have fallen, this Beast King has finally stepped forward and begun to confront the skeleton army head-on.

Its intelligence was clearly not low. Even though it sped up the process of killing skeletons, it still appeared calm and composed, and every move it made was both elegant and domineering.

This allowed Zhang Dadan to truly witness that even though they were both at the ninth rank, the difference in strength between those of the same rank and quality was simply heaven and earth.

Zhang Dadan's skeleton warriors are currently at the lowest tier, Lord level. While they can't defeat epic-level monsters like the Tiger King, they can at least inflict some damage.

However, the skeleton warriors were utterly helpless against this beast king.

Surrounded by enemies, the skeleton warriors couldn't even get close to the Beast King before suffering heavy losses.

If the "Bone Chasing" skill hadn't been activated and caused some damage to the Beast King, this single Beast King could probably have completely wiped out Zhang Dadan's tens of millions of skeletons.

This is the terrifying aspect of legendary powerhouses! Even the lowest level, the ninth-tier legendary, in Zhang Dadan's view, is definitely no less powerful than an eighth-tier powerhouse.

Zhang Dadan carefully observed the several abilities used by the Beast King:

The Beast King moved as if it were teleporting; unless one looked closely, one could only perceive the afterimages it left behind. And after the afterimages, there were scattered bones on the ground, demonstrating its incredible speed and destructive power.

With each leap, he strikes like a whirlwind, soaring ten feet into the air and gathering "earth vein power" around his body. He lands on the ground like a meteorite, capable of delivering a small-scale kill.

With its mouth open, it seems to devour and absorb spirits; its fangs gleam with a dark golden luster. When it bites at its target, it creates a "devouring suction force" that can not only tear apart flesh but also devour the opponent's energy. This is the key attack that makes it "stronger the more it fights."

The Beast King's tail was covered with a layer of dark purple scales, which swung like a steel whip and had an electric shock effect.

The tail tip can even shoot out three "lightning chains", a scene that made Zhang Dadan think of the "Five-Strike Lightning Whip". The whole scene is both cool and powerful.

Zhang Dadan originally came to conquer this secret world, but now it looks like the Beast King is farming skeleton monsters, giving off a sense of reversal of the natural order.

Now that the eight kings are no longer there to share the burden, this legendary beast king has nowhere to retreat and cannot stand idly by while these skeleton warriors offend its dignity. Even if the skeleton warriors' attacks cannot break through its defenses, it will never tolerate such offense.

For reasons unknown, the Beast King remained steadfast on this path, like an insurmountable steel barrier, resolutely preventing the skeleton army from crossing the line and entering the hot spring area.

On several occasions, when the skeleton army attempted to force their way across this boundary...

Suddenly, the Beast King's aura changed, and his mane burst into flames, like a burning cloak.

Then, it opened its gaping maw, and a torrent of flames, tens of meters long, erupted like surging lava. Wherever the flames passed, the skeleton warriors were instantly engulfed by the intense heat, turning into ashes and leaving only a few black remnants.

Indeed, in order to hold the line, the Beast King did not hesitate to use this powerful technique that caused widespread damage, clearing away the skeletons that rushed forward.

Even knowing that using such a skill would injure itself and might even hasten its own death, it did not hesitate at all, and was willing to do anything!

Time slipped away quietly amidst the fierce battle, and a day passed in the blink of an eye.

Even a beast king as powerful as it was gradually showing signs of disarray under the seemingly endless onslaught of the skeleton army. Its once-smooth fur became disheveled, and it bore many wounds left by the "Skeleton Pursuit," which were dripping with blood.

Its aura became disordered, losing its previous composure and domineering presence. Each attack seemed somewhat powerless, but it still stubbornly held its ground, showing no intention of retreating.

Zhang Dadan watched quietly.

It is foreseeable that after nearly a month, the Beast King's demise is imminent!
