Even with a single drop of blood, I will still be invincible!

"boom--!"

A crisp cracking sound rang out as the final layer of the Saint Annihilation level sealing magic array shattered.

call out!

Completely freed from its restraints, the [Eternal Night Deathly Silence Demon Orb] instantly transformed into a black streak of light, shooting towards Su Mubai.

[Hint: You have obtained the Saint-level special item "Eternal Night Deathly Silence Demon Orb"].

Su Mubai raised his hand and caught it steadily, his pupils flashing with golden light, and immediately began the appraisal.

[Saint-level Appraisal Technique]!

hum~

The jet-black surface of the [Eternal Night Deathly Silence Demon Pearl] shimmered with nine-colored light, and the next moment, the system notification sounded in Su Mubai's ear that the identification had been successful.

[Notification: You have successfully identified a Saint-level special item. Your Saint-level identification skill proficiency has increased by 1%.]

"A direct increase of 1%? It seems that the Appraisal skill isn't too difficult to upgrade."

Su Mubai raised an eyebrow. One hundred Saint-level items would be difficult for others, but he only needed to get one hundred Myth-level items for free.

Since the appraisal skill acquired catastrophic characteristics, for Su Mubai, a 0.01% appraisal success rate is no different from a 100% success rate.

That's why he doesn't need to temporarily forgo a promotion just to avoid failing the assessment.

Just as Su Mubai was about to check the specific attributes of the [Eternal Night Deathly Silence Demon Orb], Bing Shuang's urgent voice suddenly rang in his mind.

"Master, this old dog has used some kind of trick, and it feels like we can't hold on much longer!"

Upon hearing this, Su Mubai decisively put the [Eternal Night Deathly Silence Demon Orb] into his spatial ring, and then checked the cooldown time of [Instant Teleport].

"Can you hold out for 30 seconds?"

"no problem!"

"Let him in in 30 seconds, then you can leave immediately without waiting for me."

Plans often go awry. Normally, with Feng Yiyuan's multiple magic arrays, Frost and Moonlight should be able to hold off Baines for twenty to thirty minutes.

But that's only if Baines doesn't push himself too hard!

Now that Christine is dead and the Holy Empire's treasury is left unguarded, Baines is clearly in a desperate situation.

However, Su Mubai's [Instant Teleportation] still has 30 seconds left before it cools down.

This also means that Frost and his team couldn't even hold out for ten minutes.

This shows just how angry Baines was at that moment.

Upon learning that Frost, Moonlight, and the other two could hold out for another thirty seconds, Su Mubai's eyes darted around.

Since we're already here, what's the difference between getting the [Eternal Night Deathly Silence Demon Orb] and getting nothing at all?

With that thought, he immediately disappeared from the room.

[Dead Zone Leap]!

To Su Mubai's disappointment, the Holy Empire clearly took the defense of the treasury seriously.

Each room is surrounded by a powerful barrier and magic circle, making it impossible to enter easily.

The reason why the room containing the [Eternal Night Deathly Silence Demon Orb] is not there is entirely because it contains a twelve-layered sealing formation, so there is no need to go through the trouble.

Although the [Netherflame Hellfire] can cause great damage to barriers, giving Su Mubai the ability to break them.

But there was clearly not enough time.

"Are we just going to leave like this?"

Su Mubai frowned; this wasn't like him.

Immediately afterwards, a glint of light flashed deep in his eyes.

Since there's no way to gain more, let the Holy Empire suffer with me!

hum~

In an instant, pale blue wind elements swirled around Su Mubai's legs, and his speed increased several times over.

[Note: You have used "Shadow of Windfury," increasing your attack speed by 500% and movement speed by 500% for 30 seconds.]

Immediately afterwards, Su Mubai moved rapidly throughout the entire treasure vault.

Every time he passed a room where treasures were stored, he would leave behind a corpse in the appropriate place—a corpse from the Kingdom of Coria.

These corpses, without exception, were all among the most powerful figures in the Kingdom of Coria, each of whom was an eighth-tier legendary being in life!

Soon, Su Mubai placed the 20 corpses in appropriate locations.

At the same time, the cooldown of [Instant Teleport] also ended.

However, Su Mubai did not rush to leave, but instead informed Bing Shuang and Yue Ye.

"Alright, let him in."

……

Outside the tower, Baines, anxious and desperate, unleashed his full power. Feng Yiyuan's multiple magic arrays were already riddled with cracks and were on the verge of completely shattering.

His fierce gaze swept over the frost blocking his way, and he was about to strike.

The next moment, the frost suddenly shrank in size, seemingly giving up its blocking.

Seeing this, Baines was puzzled, but the crisis at the treasure vault didn't allow him to think too much.

Compared to dealing with the three men and one dragon at hand, the treasure vault is clearly more important.

boom! ! !

A terrifying aura surged into the sky, and the already overburdened multi-layered magic array finally completed its mission.

"Once I've dealt with Bai Ye, I'll have some fun with you all!"

Baines snorted coldly and vanished from his spot in an instant, already inside the tower.

Moonlit Night, Extinction, and Dark Sun showed no sign of lingering and followed Su Mubai's instructions perfectly, instantly appearing on Frost's back.

With a flap of its wings, Frost transformed into a streak of light and vanished into the horizon.

In his eyes, his master was an immortal being. How could Baines, a mere Saint Annihilation-level human professional, possibly pose a threat to his master?

I and Yueye are too low-level, and staying behind would only be a hindrance and serve no purpose.

Their departure went unnoticed by the locals in the capital.

Because by this time, the natural disasters and catastrophes had completely spread throughout the capital.

Since the strong were not in the city, the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled were powerless to stop the expansion of the Scourge Skeletons.

In just ten minutes, the number of Scourge skeletons in the city exceeded one hundred thousand!

What's even more terrifying is that this number is still rising rapidly!

The sounds of roaring, screaming, exclamations, and weeping filled the air. This city, which should have been the strongest in the Holy Temple Empire, was now a scene of devastation.

All of this stemmed from the initial deaths of the Royal Guard members.

They were naturally the only remaining force in the Holy Capital, and the Cataclysmic Skeletons born from their corpses were almost all Skeleton Kings!

What can the rest of the capital city do to resist?

The flames of war were not only burning in the wilderness and surrounding cities of the Holy Empire, but even the imperial capital was not spared.

……

"Bai Ye, hand over the [Eternal Night Deathly Silence Demon Pearl]! Otherwise, I..."

Baines appeared in the center of the treasure vault and immediately reached out to grab Su Mubai.

But Su Mubai, who was prepared for this, would not let him have his way.

Before informing Bing Shuang and the others, Su Mubai had already summoned the [Wheel of Time].

The moment Baines appeared, he vanished into the treasure vault with a thought.

【Teleport】!

Of course, before leaving, Su Mubai did not forget to open the gift he left behind.

Swish-!

Baines's afterimage vanished from the spot, his palm piercing through the place where Su Mubai had been standing, and his expression changed drastically.

Besides being shocked that Su Mubai could ignore the barriers and magic arrays of the Holy Light Paradise headquarters, the biggest shock came from the energy fluctuations coming from all around.

"You little beast, what have you done?!"
