No one could have imagined that in that short moment, the positions of hunter and prey would be completely reversed!

Not long ago, Oboro regarded everything as a pawn and was high and mighty, but now all that remains is a raging fire of anger and despair!

All hope, all future, vanished in that earth-shattering explosion. And the culprit behind it all was this lowly human being before us!

Its rage was so intense that it materialized into an invisible giant hand, which suddenly gripped Xu Hao.

"Ugh—!" Xu Hao felt an irresistible, terrifying force pressing down on him from all directions, as if the entire weight of the unknown dark palace was pressing down on him.

His bones groaned under the unbearable weight, his internal organs felt as if they were being crushed by a boulder, and he was pressed firmly against the cold stone slab, unable to move even a finger.

This force is not just physical oppression, but also carries an corrosive mental pressure, attempting to crush him at the level of his soul.

Longna's bloodshot giant eyes were fixed on Xu Hao on the ground, his anger almost bursting out and turning into tangible flames.

"You! Everything you are! Comes from us!"

Its roar carried a mental impact, exploding directly in Xu Hao's mind, each word like a red-hot branding iron.

With this roar, the invisible force began to focus on the equipment on Xu Hao's body.

First was the Dragon Slayer Blade he gripped tightly in his hand. This heavy sword, which had accompanied him through countless battles, suddenly lit up with ancient runes engraved on its blade, emitting a mournful cry. Then, starting from the tip, the dark golden blade seemed to be disintegrated by an invisible force, breaking into tiny specks of light that drifted into the air as if they had never existed.

Next came the Memory Set and Celestial Set covering him. The rings and bracelets that shimmered with a soft halo, and the Celestial Robe, Helmet, Bracelets, and Rings that exuded a sacred aura—these treasures, once priceless, had now become the targets of Long's rage.

"The power we bestowed upon you! And you use it to destroy us!!" Oboro's voice was filled with endless resentment.

An invisible force, like billions of fine needles, pierced every corner of the suit.

The gemstones on the Celestial Venerable Necklace first lost their luster, and then spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the entire chain before it shattered into countless sparkling dust particles.

The memory ring and bracelet followed suit, disintegrating and dissipating amidst a teeth-grinding sound of energy friction.

The Celestial Venerable Set offered slightly stronger resistance; the runes flowing on the Taoist robe attempted to resist this destructive power, emitting a faint white light.

But Oboro's will was resolute and violent; the white light flickered a few times like a candle in the wind before being completely crushed.

The Taoist robe turned to ashes, the helmet shattered, and the bracelet and ring followed suit, completely turning into nothingness particles, leaving only specks of fluorescence that slowly dissipated in the air as if mockingly.

"Ah—!" Xu Hao roared in pain, watching helplessly as his powerful equipment, on which he depended for survival, vanished one by one.

It wasn't just the pain of losing power, but the despair of watching a part of himself being ripped away and crushed alive. The destruction of each piece of equipment felt like a piece of flesh being ripped from his heart.

Oboro's roar continued: "I will shatter you! Shatter you into the most primordial particles! I will make you pay for everything you've done!!"

With all his equipment destroyed, the terrifying pressure acted directly on Xu Hao's body without any obstruction.

He could clearly feel his skin tearing, his muscle fibers snapping inch by inch, and his bones making tiny popping sounds under extreme pressure. Blood seeped from his pores, only to be instantly evaporated by that invisible force.

His consciousness swayed in excruciating pain, as if it were about to completely collapse at any moment. His entire body, and even his soul, were on the verge of disintegration, about to follow in the footsteps of those equipment and turn into nothingness particles.

The excruciating pain surged through Xu Hao's consciousness in waves. Every groan of his bones and every tear of his muscle fibers was clearly transmitted to his cerebral cortex, almost causing him to faint.

An invisible force, like a giant millstone, was slowly and steadily grinding him into mincemeat.

However, in this painful abyss on the verge of collapse, a strange thought stubbornly emerged.

He did it! He really did it!

With the body of an ordinary man, he fought against the remnant will of an ancient civilization and successfully detonated the world-destroying explosion.

The land of eternal rest vanished, countless cocoons of light shattered, and the foundation for the revival of the Fama civilization was completely severed.

Human civilization... is safe for now. Thinking of this, a complex emotion mixed with pain and relief welled up in his heart, almost making him laugh out loud amidst this extreme pain.

It was worth the price.

I, Master Xu, have saved the world!

But it hurts so much!

The instinct for survival, like an inextinguishable flame in the darkness, continues to burn tenaciously.

If one can live, who would willingly turn into dust?

Although Oboro was severely weakened, the energy and resentment it contained remained a Damocles' sword hanging over humanity's head.

As long as even a sliver of it remains, the threat is not entirely gone. But what can I do now?

The Dragon Slayer Blade turned into specks of light, the Celestial Venerable Set vanished into thin air, and the Memory Ring, Teleportation Ring, Detection Necklace... all the powerful equipment he relied on for survival were completely annihilated under Long's wrath, leaving not a trace.

He is now like a turtle stripped of its shell, helplessly enduring the crushing blows.

Just then, a faint but unusually strong sensation came from his equipment inventory.

There?

It seemed that something was stubbornly resisting Oboro's mental crushing force.

Xu Hao struggled to concentrate his almost scattered thoughts, "introspecting" towards the source of the feeling. In his conscious perception, or rather, in the projection of his already blurred "equipment bar" interface, all the slots were dim and empty, except for the slot representing the necklace, which still emitted a faint, stable, and even slightly warm light.

That's... a memory necklace?

His heart skipped a beat.

That one was dropped from a treasure chest on the seventh floor of the Bull Demon Temple.

A seemingly ordinary memory necklace!

Compared to the dazzling Celestial Set or the incredibly powerful Teleportation Ring, this necklace has always seemed so inconspicuous, with mediocre attributes. Its only special feature is its extremely rare, even unique, attribute – Luck +5!

In legendary games, luck usually only appears on weapons, used to increase the chance of hitting the maximum damage. There are also some skills that can be triggered by chance; the higher the luck value, the greater the chance of triggering them.

Jewelry is almost never seen to come with a luck attribute, let alone as high as 5 points!

He had always treated this necklace as a filler item, merely a component of the "Memory Set," and Xu Hao rarely paid much attention to its unique luck value.

But now, when the Dragon-Slaying Saber has been shattered and the Heavenly Venerable's robe has turned to ashes, this most inconspicuous necklace is still unharmed under Long's power that can disintegrate all things, without even a single crack appearing!

Why? Is it because of the special material? Or... luck?

"Lucky..." The word flashed through Xu Hao's chaotic mind like lightning.
