Legendary Person: I brought my skills back to reality!

At the same time, its ugly, sparse "feathers" suddenly burst open, standing upright like countless poisoned steel needles.

It frantically flapped its pair of tattered wings, which were disproportionate to its size. Each flap was no longer a simple flight or adjustment of posture, but rather a forceful tearing, compression, and shaping of chaotic energy into thin, cicada-wing-like energy blades with edges shimmering with a ghastly green light.

These blades were not physical objects, yet they possessed a sharpness that could cut through the soul. Like a sudden rainstorm, they shot towards the spot where Xu Hao stood without any order, yet with incredible density, leaving behind distorted streaks of light in the air and emitting sharp "whoosh" sounds as they pierced through the air.

This storm-like attack was more like a venting and restraint of its extreme anxiety; the real killing move was brewing in its mouth!

Suddenly, it opened its keratinized, vulture-like hooked beak, and a blinding flash of electricity appeared deep in its throat. A strong smell of ozone filled the air, and countless tiny arcs of electricity jumped and exploded around its beak, making crackling sounds.

That spark of lightning expanded and converged at a speed visible to the naked eye, greedily absorbing the surrounding energy, and even its own violent aura was pulled back.

The light grew brighter and brighter, gradually turning from the initial silvery-white arcs of electricity into an ominous deep purple, eventually condensing into a massive energy sphere with a diameter of over one meter, its surface covered with wildly leaping purple electric snakes, and its core faintly radiating destructive high temperatures.

The energy sphere trembled unstablely, emanating a chilling pressure, like a miniature star about to explode.

The next instant, with Thursday's neck suddenly stretching forward, this ball of lightning energy, which contained almost all of its current modifiable power, burst forth with an aura of destruction and a deafening roar, like a purple meteor, tearing through the air and hurtling straight toward the tiny yet deadly figure at the top of the altar—Xu Hao.

Just as that purple lightning energy ball, imbued with Thursday's rage and destructive will, was tearing through the air like a death star and was about to completely engulf the altar and Xu Hao on it—a muffled, resolute sound of bones grinding together rang out!

The berserk skeleton, which had been locked in a fierce battle with Thursday and was already riddled with wounds and cracks in its skeleton, suddenly abandoned all defensive postures. Its massive body took a step to the side with an astonishing speed that did not match its clumsy appearance, like the most solid shield, and stood firmly between the purple energy ball and Xu Hao, blocking that straight path of death!

"boom--!!!"

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a blazing purple light that instantly swallowed all light and sound, sending chills down one's spine!

The berserk skeleton's bones, harder than steel, were as fragile as ice and snow under the sun before this extremely concentrated energy sphere. From the point of contact, its sternum, ribs, spine... everything was instantly decomposed and vaporized, leaving not even a trace of ash.

Purple lightning raged wildly, completely engulfing and annihilating its massive body. The energy sphere itself also lost stability upon impact, the violent energy collapsing inward and annihilating each other, ultimately turning into nothingness along with the berserk skeleton, leaving only a brief, chaotic spatial ripple and a pungent smell of ozone.

In the final instant before the berserk skeleton was completely wiped out, a pure and unadulterated thought, as if transcending the boundary between life and death, was directly imprinted into the depths of Xu Hao's soul—that thought was simple and resolute: "Live on...to win!"

Excruciating pain! It felt like a piece of his heart had been ripped out! Xu Hao's eyes instantly turned red, and an indescribable grief and anger almost overwhelmed his reason.

That berserk skeleton, carrying the last vestige of the Celestial Venerable's will and power left in the world, was instantly decomposed, vaporized, and completely annihilated in front of that destructive purple lightning energy ball, along with its skeleton as hard as steel. Not even the tiniest speck of dust remained, as if it had never existed.

A sharp, excruciating pain, as if his soul were being torn apart, suddenly gripped Xu Hao's heart, causing his vision to go black and making him almost unable to stand.

It wasn't a physical injury, but the excruciating pain of a deeper connection being forcibly severed. In a flash, the gentle, ethereal image of the Celestial Venerable uncontrollably flashed through his mind—those eyes that seemed to see through everything yet carried a faint smile, those calm words, "Follow me," and the figure of the Celestial Venerable, sitting cross-legged with an air of otherworldly grace, from their first meeting at Bai Ri Men.

All impressions of the Celestial Venerable, whether from the game's settings or the brief but profound exchange just now, are now like shattered glass, overlapping with the nothingness of the dissipating skull before them, leaving an indelible mark of sorrow and anger.

From then on, the last perceptible trace of the legendary three heroes in this world of Marfa vanished along with the complete demise of this berserk skeleton, disappearing into nothingness and utterly annihilated in the long river of history.

Xu Hao's sadness lasted only a moment. The words "Live on, win!" were like ice water poured over his head, jolting him back to reality.

The skeleton's complete annihilation saved this life at the last minute!

We cannot waste it! Absolutely not!

Almost at the same time, the teleportation ring that he had been holding tightly in his hand and which was slightly warm suddenly shone brightly with the light of its runes, indicating that it was fully charged!

Xu Hao didn't even have time to process the weight of that sacrifice. Driven by his survival instinct and the rage of revenge, his remaining spiritual and mental power surged wildly into the ring!

A barely perceptible spatial fluctuation rippled outwards from him, a flash of silvery-white light disappearing in an instant. The cold, sticky altar beneath his feet vanished instantly, and he was pulled by an invisible force, appearing in mid-air dozens of meters away before staggering and landing on the cold stone slab, nearly falling over.

He abruptly looked up, his gaze sweeping across the temporarily empty area left by the annihilation of energy, landing on the astonished Qiao Xi and his surviving comrades in the distance. With all his might, he roared hoarsely, "Everyone, be careful!!!"

Before the words had even faded, his right hand had already pressed the button on the cold, hard remote control that he had been clutching tightly in his palm without hesitation. A subtle yet clear "click" sounded, like the tolling of a death knell.

The faint "click" sound was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, but the next moment, it stirred up not ripples, but towering waves!

Almost at the same moment, a blindingly bright white light burst forth, far surpassing any magical radiance!

That wasn't the color of flames, but rather more like the destructive light released when pure energy breaks free from its constraints and returns to its original form.
