In the video, the swordswoman who had walked out of the painting was slowly making her way toward Zhang Yue.
She wore a tight, flame-wreathed battle armor, held a long sword burning with scorching fire, her long hair drifting, her legs pale and slender.
Every step she took left a trail of fire on the ground.
Beneath her pure and stunning beauty was an overwhelming aura of power that made countless viewers drool uncontrollably.
In an instant, countless people were practically salivating.
["Holy crap! This girl… she's insanely hot! Completely my type!"]
["Your type? This is everyone's type! Anyone want to argue if I say she's the number one beauty in the world?"]
["My god! So what does this mean? Did the necromancer free her by clearing the divine tomb? And now she wants to repay his kindness with her body?"]
["Damn! That's too lucky! Why don't I ever get this? Clearing a dungeon and picking up a goddess-tier wife!"]
["First, you'd need his power. Did you not see what he just did? Soloing hundreds of king-class bosses. Could you even survive that?"]
["Opportunities are for the strong, not for freeloaders like us. You get me?"]
———
Meanwhile, at the Heavens Hall guild headquarters, Liyue and the others watched, confused.
"So what is this supposed to mean? Is the divine tomb challenge over now?"
"And what's with this girl? What is she trying to do?", Chen Zijin's eyes held clear worry.
She didn't know what was going to happen, but she had a bad feeling.
Her anxious gaze stayed locked on the screen.
Just as countless viewers in front of their screens were imagining what would happen next, wondering what kind of event this beauty walking out of the painting would trigger for the necromancer, the swordswoman finally walked up to Zhang Yue.
She looked at him calmly, saying nothing.
As she got closer, the viewers got an extremely close look at her.
Her face, her eyes, her brows, her lips.
Even her breathing felt like it was happening right in front of them, so vividly clear it was almost suffocating.
For a moment, even the comment feed stopped.
Everyone's attention was fixed entirely on the swordswoman.
Everyone was imagining what was about to happen.
Zhang Yue looked at her and asked after a moment, "You are… Xingtian?"
A peak-level being who surpassed the Lord Gods, Xingtian.
The moment Zhang Yue spoke that name, everyone froze.
They all knew Xingtian was the former peak-tier, Transcendent Lord God of the Divine Realm of World 57, and that after her fall she had been buried in the divine tomb.
But none of them had ever imagined that this swordswoman would be Xingtian herself.
["Xingtian is a woman?"]
["And not just a woman, but this ridiculously beautiful?"]
["Wasn't Xingtian already dead?"]
["So the necromancer broke the rules of the divine tomb and resurrected Xingtian?"]
["Two peak-tier Transcendent Lord Gods meeting, this is too beautiful to handle!"]
["Damn! This is insane! I'm losing it!"]
Countless people were bursting with excitement.
———
On the field, just after Zhang Yue finished speaking—
Splat!
The swordswoman suddenly struck, thrusting her flaming blade straight through Zhang Yue's chest.
Zhang Yue's heart trembled.
He slowly lowered his head, staring at the blade that had pierced through him.
At the same time, the viewers saw the same blade through Zhang Yue's point of view.
Everyone was stunned speechless.
For a moment, it felt like the entire world had fallen silent.
And in the instant the fiery blade pierced through him—
Crackle!
Countless sparks burst from the sword, swirling around Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue could feel his body being completely controlled. He couldn't move at all.
The terrifying power made him feel true fear.
He could only stand there as the sparks engulfed him in an instant.
Crackle! Crackle! Crackle! Crackle!
Hundreds of sparks, like hundreds of blades, pierced through his body repeatedly.
Meanwhile, a battle notification sounded by his ear.
["Ding~ You have been attacked by Peak-Tier Transcendent Lord God Xingtian. You lost 12532415280 HP. YOU HAVE DIED!"]
Even with his 50x-HP Void Shield, he was helpless.
It pierced straight through.
After upgrading to a 60-star transcendent set, Zhang Yue's total HP was only 500 billion.
The Void Shield's maximum 50x multiplier gave him 25 trillion HP at most.
But the damage dealt to him was 125 trillion.
Enough to pierce 50 layers instantly and hit his final life directly.
["Ding~ Warning: Because you are inside the special secret realm Divine Tomb, resurrection is forbidden. You have died and cannot revive."]
["Ding~ You have died and cannot revive."]
Zhang Yue looked up at the swordswoman in disbelief.
In this moment, he understood: she really was the peak-level Transcendent Lord God Xingtian.
But he couldn't believe she held such terrifying power.
She had killed him instantly.
He couldn't even fight back. He was completely overwhelmed.
Her expression was eerily calm, frighteningly so.
She was breathtakingly beautiful, yet terrifying, like a rose covered in thorns.
The next moment—
Thud!
Zhang Yue fell to his knees.
Sensing their master's life in danger, the Thirty-Six-Wing Armageddon Black Dragon, Apex Predator, Purgatory Skeleton King, Ice-Sealed Throne, and Cherry all burst out of the pet space, trying to save him.
But the moment they appeared, Xingtian struck.
Crackle! Crackle! Crackle! Crackle!
From her fiery sword burst countless sparks that swallowed all of Zhang Yue's pets instantly.
Five mythic pets died together with their master.
Right after, the livestream screen went black.
Displayed above was:
[Signal lost. Livestream disconnected.]
At that moment, tens of billions of viewers were left in utter shock…
