Li Cheng颐 recalled the piece of dead energy he had just torn from the Silent Angel. If he did this enough times, he should be able to weaken its strength.

'Fortunately, my physique is strong enough, and the dead energy I condense is strong and dense enough to tear and devour their dead energy.'

Whether it was the Balance Angel or the Silent Angel, their fundamental energy core was actually dead energy. So, if he couldn't beat them head-on, he could weaken their power source little by little, and he would win eventually!

Having figured this out, the cracks in Li Cheng颐's arm bones had almost healed.

He rested downstairs for a long time until his head didn't hurt so much before getting up again.

This time, he vibrated his wings, using both his hands and feet, and rushed back to the rooftop in a few steps.

'Here I come again!!'

Gentle Qi converged and exploded twice, unleashing Dragon Might, and dead energy burned rapidly throughout his body.

He held the sword hilt, the Wisdom Sword of the Holy Spirit Art attached to it, shining brightly, entangled with Affection Threads, aiming at the angel statue standing on the rooftop.

Chichi chichi!

Clusters of brilliance exploded in mid-air, emitting dazzling light.

"Secret Sword - Ying Long!"

The sword blade was instantly unsheathed.

Swish.

A barrier composed of pure white flames blocked him.

Immediately afterward, a two-winged flame dragon, with a gray-white body and purple-black eyes, suddenly rushed out of the flame barrier.

Roar!!

Ying Long was covered in dead energy flames, its figure flashed, and it charged into the entire rooftop.

Boom!!!

The terrifying explosion swept across the entire rooftop open space.

The Silent Angel, the surrounding ground, the iron wire mesh, everything, was covered and devoured by chaotic layers of power at this moment.

The sound of roaring flames and explosions continued to come from the rooftop.

High temperature and dead energy mixed together, like a vast swamp, completely engulfing the Silent Angel.

The Wisdom Sword combined with the Secret Sword as a weapon, driven by the explosion of Dragon Might and Brilliance Flash, and interfered with by Affection Threads and Bright Light.

This sword almost represented Li Cheng颐's current peak strength.

Back then, he destroyed the entire submarine that was picking up Chen Zonghan with one sword.

That was still an ordinary Secret Sword, but this time...

"Using the launch method of the Rising Sun Sword, unleash the Ying Long Secret Sword. Combined with the burning of dead energy flames..."

Li Cheng颐 floated in mid-air, watching the rooftop ravaged by dead energy with a deep gaze.

"I don't believe I can't eliminate the dead energy on you!"

He couldn't win in a head-on fight. But he didn't believe he would lose in terms of consumption and recovery.

The flames of the Ying Long Sword lasted for more than half a minute before subsiding.

When the fire disappeared, the rooftop was already scorched black, and many places had liquefied, revealing dark red magma.

The Silent Angel still stood in its original position, covered in a layer of faint gray dead energy, resisting the external burning.

On the surface, it seemed intact and without any problems.

Li Cheng颐 wasn't in a hurry either, and slowly landed on the edge of the rooftop.

New dead energy flames ignited on his body again.

The Wisdom Sword of the Holy Spirit Art floated and spun beside him, and soon the Wisdom Sword was also covered with a layer of gray dead energy flames.

Compared to the weapons of the Flowery Scale Robe, the compatibility between the Wisdom Sword and dead energy was significantly higher.

Wisdom Swords emerged around Li Cheng颐 one after another, then coated with a layer of gray dead energy flames.

"Go!"

He pointed his finger.

Suddenly, dozens of forearm-length Wisdom Swords, carrying gray trails, flew towards the Silent Angel.

Clang.

Clang.

Clang.

The densely packed Wisdom Swords constantly struck the surface of the angel, bringing out wisps of dead energy gray gas.

After cultivating the Holy Spirit Art at Sea Shark, he had broken through to the fourth level in a short period of time.

Li Cheng颐's power was synchronized, and the distance of the Wisdom Sword had also become much longer.

At this time, the distance of the Wisdom Sword had reached an astonishing thirty meters. The strength and speed were also much greater than before.

At this time, Li Cheng颐 was thirty meters away from the Silent Angel at its limit.

Neither of them moved.

The angel statue didn't trigger an attack alert because Li Cheng颐 was too far away.

Li Cheng颐 couldn't win in a pure fight.

The two of them were in a stalemate for a while.

Chichi chichi chichi!

The densely packed dead energy Wisdom Swords, connected in a line, constantly struck the Silent Angel.

Perhaps because the power was too weak, the Silent Angel was too lazy to pay attention, and didn't move, still returning to its original position and standing still.

Amidst the clanging sounds of the impacts, the dead energy taken away from the Silent Angel's body became more and more.

Strangely, its size gradually decreased as the dead energy decreased.

But because it was too far away, it didn't trigger an attack, so it still stood still in place.

Time passed bit by bit.

Soon, twenty-two minutes later...

Li Cheng颐 looked tired, watching the Silent Angel statue that had shrunk to about the same height as him.

He finally couldn't hold on any longer, paused the consumption, sat down cross-legged to rest, and waited for his mental power to recover.

'This guy is too difficult to deal with. Even with two Flower Words superimposed, I can only control it for a moment.

This is still because I cultivate the Seven Intents Holy Spirit Art, and the quality of my mental power is many times stronger than ordinary people.

If it were someone else, even if they had Flower Words, it would almost be useless.'

'Fortunately, the consumption of dead energy is a permanent loss, even if the dead corner is restored, it cannot restore the lost dead energy. I can use this method to consume it repeatedly.'

Thinking of this, Li Cheng颐 closed his eyes and entered a state of rest.

Several hours later, he stood up again, vibrated his wings and floated into the air, and once again launched dead energy Wisdom Swords towards the Silent Angel.

The gray sword shadows looked like a gray line from afar, constantly hitting the Silent Angel.

This time, the time lasted for more than twenty minutes, and Li Cheng颐 stopped again.

From his position, the height of the Silent Angel hadn't changed, but the wings behind it had changed.

The original four wings, at this time, one pair was slowly degenerating, turning into countless gray dead energy flames, and dissipating into the air.

At this time, the Silent Angel had completely become a two-winged angel like the Balance Angel.

'It should be about there.'

Li Cheng颐 landed wearily and rested again.

Two hours later, he stood up and walked straight towards the Silent Angel.

"You've become weaker," he said in a deep voice.

The Silent Angel's huge single eye narrowed wearily.

It couldn't refute it.

Bang.

Its legs plunged into the ground and entered a state of peace.

Li Cheng颐 glanced at the purple light on the back of his hand, which was still stable for the time being, without any flickering.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally..."

He felt the mental power in his mind flowing away quickly, and estimated that he could last for almost two minutes.

"Such a powerful opponent actually failed under my wisdom..."

He sighed, feeling emotional in his heart.

"I didn't expect that I have become so powerful..."

Confirming the victory, Li Cheng颐 stepped forward to take the ring, and then was about to leave.

Suddenly, his heart froze, and he thought of something.

"Are there any useless engraving balls here? If you don't want to be hacked to death by me, find them for me as quickly as possible."

Flower Word was activated.

Whoosh!

Immediately, the Silent Angel turned around and pounced towards the stone round basin on the rooftop.

Plop.

It jumped, light as a fish, and plunged into the round stone basin.

It was clearly a dirty stone basin filled with dirt, but when the Silent Angel jumped into it, it made the sound of a stone falling into water.

But at this time, Li Cheng颐 had no time to pay attention to these things.

A few seconds later.

With a plop.

The Silent Angel rushed out of the stone basin and landed lightly, landing in front of Li Cheng颐.

In its hand was a glass ball shining with a faint silver light.

The ball was only the size of an egg, and inside there were many gray particles, constantly rotating like a galaxy, forming a vortex disc.

The Silent Angel handed the ball over.

"This is the engraving ball?" Li Cheng颐 was overjoyed, he didn't expect that there would actually be a leftover useless engraving ball here.

He took it, held it in his hand, and was about to examine it carefully.

Suddenly, strange gurgling sounds began to emerge from the round stone basin not far away.

He looked over.

He saw that the round stone basin was filled with a whole basin of dark red blood at some point.

The blood seemed to be boiling, constantly emitting a large number of gray bubbles.

Looking at the bubbling blood, Li Cheng颐 suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart.

Immediately, he followed his heart, vibrated his wings and turned around, and frantically rushed away.

Chih.

In the blink of an eye, he flew away from the rooftop.

But at this time, the sky was gradually darkening.

The sky, which had never changed here, with no day or night, actually quickly became overcast, and the air pressure was low.

Crack.

A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky.

The sky became even darker, and the wind howled.

Li Cheng颐 put on the Whisper Ring and flew straight to the location of the Gate of Mystery.

Holding the engraving ball, he quickly looked back.

Crack.

Another bolt of lightning flashed, illuminating a large area of dark clouds in the distance.

In the moment when the sky was illuminated.

Li Cheng颐 clearly saw that behind the gaps in the countless dark clouds in the sky, a huge dark figure was slowly reaching out its hand towards here.

The figure covered the entire sky, with layers upon layers of countless wings spread out behind it, its face was pitch black, just a vortex.

Its outstretched palm was getting closer and closer, lower and lower, breaking through the dark clouds.

The palm alone almost completely covered the entire Death Angel Capital.

"Holy crap!!"

Li Cheng颐 looked at the gray giant hand that occupied all of his vision, and the shock in his heart was simply indescribable.

He used Shadow Blink continuously, frantically rushing towards the Gate of Mystery on the ground at full speed.

At this time, the inside of the Gate of Mystery had already begun to flash rapidly, and it seemed that the connection was somewhat unstable.

"Brother... run!! Quick!! That's the doomsday-level Death Angel King!! Hurry, hurry, hurry!!" Iselin's voice also rang out intermittently.

"Don't stop!! After it... gets close, it will solidify... everything in the target area!!"

Li Cheng颐's heart trembled, and the scales on his entire body were icy cold.

He held the Whisper Ring and sprinted, bursting out at twice the speed of sound, rushing towards the Gate of Mystery without looking back.

Swish!

At this moment, a transparent, distorted, huge wave, like a ball, large enough to cover hundreds of meters, fell from the sky.

The wave slammed straight towards Li Cheng颐 and the location of the Gate of Mystery. It seemed to want to stop him from leaving, but it was still a step too late.

Poof!

Li Cheng颐 crashed into the Gate of Mystery, and the Whisper Ring instantly dissolved, turning into ashes.

He also seemed to rush into a viscous, cold swamp.

He couldn't see anything, couldn't smell any scents, couldn't hear any sounds, the only thing useful was his sense of touch.

'Where is this?'

A sense of familiarity from the Shadow Dragon bloodline surged into his heart.

'The Black Sea??!'
