The teeth within the blood-red maw spun, and the hum of a chainsaw could faintly be heard.
This nightmarish maw was about to swallow Chen Luo whole.
Chen Luo flapped his wings and prepared to dodge, but a more potent contamination erupted from within his body. xxs壹贰
A new negative status also appeared on Chen Luo's system panel.
[Dark Demon's Gaze (Negative Status)]
[Effect]: The player is subjected to the malevolent gaze of the Dark Demon Lord. Every instant, a Will and Resistance check will be performed. Failure results in irreversible physical mutation. Success means enduring a certain amount of damage based on resistance.
[Description]: The gaze of a Void Lord. Whether it is a blessing or a curse to creatures of the material plane depends on the mood of these high beings.
[Special Notice]: You have drawn the particular attention of the Dark Demon Lord. The negative effects you suffer are amplified. SSS-grade purification skills can no longer remove this negative status.
In Chen Luo's perception, his flesh and blood seemed to come alive.
It was as if the mouthful of reverse blood he had spat out earlier had transformed into a strange eyeball, now manifesting as the bloody maw.
Every part of Chen Luo's flesh and blood seemed poised to undergo the same mutation in the next instant.
With the terrifying maw outside and his flesh and blood rioting within, Chen Luo was instantly plunged into a desperate situation.
"Master!!!" Long Niang cried out, about to turn her head to shield Chen Luo from the maw's attack.
But Chen Luo's steady voice reached her ears first:
"A mere gaze! Dark Demon! Who do you think you're looking down on?!"
"Domain! Break for me!!"
Golden radiance instantly surged from Chen Luo's sea of consciousness. The originally invisible domain power, due to the overwhelming influx, manifested as gold.
This golden domain power enveloped the two wings behind Chen Luo.
Two light wings, one black and one white, were encased in golden radiance, forming two cocoons of light.
As if nurturing something.
The illusory light wings, previously woven from numerous SSS-grade skills under Chen Luo's powerful control, underwent a complete qualitative change under the integration of domain power!
[Detected influx of domain power, resonance significantly increased. Affected by the "Beginner" title, mutation rate greatly enhanced.]
[Player-created skill complete! Skill naming in progress based on player's will...]
Boom!
A massive pair of white-gold wings broke free from the cocoons, unfurling wildly behind Chen Luo.
On each wing, within every white-gold feather, were inscribed profound and sacred patterns.
As the wings flapped, a silent radiance completely purged the mutations within Chen Luo's body.
[Congratulations to the player for creating the Racial Foundation-level skill "Feather of Heavenly Purity"!]
[Feather of Heavenly Purity]
[Category]: Skill (Racial Foundation-level)
[Effect]: Contains the ultimate power of purification and healing. The flapping of the wings is enough to illuminate the most profound darkness.
[Source]: Tens of thousands of SSS-grade light skills, integrated by player Chen Luo, guided by domain power, and witnessed by the system's might, transformed into a new power.
[Description]: This feather can purify the heavens!
The higher the grade of a skill, the simpler its effect description.
Especially for Racial Foundation-level skills, they are no longer powers completely influenced by the system's framework.
Their effectiveness is entirely dependent on the user.
At this moment, the Feather of Heavenly Purity resolved Chen Luo's internal crisis.
But he calmly raised his head, looking at the blood-red maw that was mere inches away, seemingly unconcerned by its threat.
The consciousness of the Dark Demon, attached to this mutated flesh and blood, seemed enraged by Chen Luo's gaze:
"Roar!!!"
The roar was filled with a furious intent. The bloody maw, lined with spiraling teeth, was about to bite Chen Luo in half!
But a dark light moved faster than it!
Hum!
In the afterglow of the distant explosion, a dark-gold wing, deeper than the night, sliced through the sky like a blade.
The blood-red maw, which had been unharmed by thousands of SSS-grade fire spears, was instantly erased as if it were a stain being wiped away.
The dark-gold wing slowly retracted, containing a power capable of eroding all things.
[Congratulations to the player for creating the Racial Foundation-level skill "Feather of Fallen Heaven"!]
[Feather of Fallen World]
[Category]: Skill (Racial Foundation-level)
[Effect]: Contains the ultimate power of curse and erosion. The flapping of the wings is enough to bring the deepest despair to the world.
[Source]: Tens of thousands of SSS-grade dark skills, integrated by player Chen Luo, guided by domain power, and witnessed by the system's might, transformed into a new power.
[Description]: This feather can bring ruin to the world!
The luster of domain power flowed slowly over the light and dark wings.
The integration of the Nine Laws, catalyzed by domain power, had finally borne fruit.
Even when facing an unknown enemy, Chen Luo was not without the means to fight back.
The blood-red eye in the sky, upon seeing the wings behind Chen Luo, flashed with a trace of greedy heat.
"Domain power... so it was this human who reached the domain."
"And they possess two Racial Foundation-level skills?"
"This anomaly is favored."
"So, is it the game, or the world's favor?"
During the operation of the Doomsday Game, those who were selected within the game world and gained player status would temporarily receive system assistance, making the enhancement and acquisition of power easier.
As for those favored children of destiny by the world, they were inherently more likely to break through bottlenecks and gain new powers.
The Dark Demon Lord could not immediately discern the reason for Chen Luo's anomaly, but this did not diminish its joy:
"As long as I eat him, it will all be mine..."
This joy caused the Dark Demon Lord to become somewhat distracted.
Chen Luo looked at the giant eye in the sky, which had suddenly ceased all movement. As the light and dark wings behind him slowly flapped, he casually patted the dragon horn at his side:
"Violet, help me protect the Great Flame below."
The dragon girl was also shocked by the change in Chen Luo's power.
Unlike the Dark Demon Lord, who saw the light and dark wings for the first time,
Long Niang had witnessed Chen Luo's previous Nine Laws and knew clearly that the pair of wings before was merely a flashy accumulation of multiple skills.
Chen Luo had not displayed this new power when fighting her before.
So, although it was hard to believe, Violet could only trust that Chen Luo had acquired this new skill in the short time since their battle.
"Even for a player, the speed of acquiring skills is too abnormal."
"And Racial Foundation-level, even I only have one."
Suppressing the astonishment in her eyes, Long Niang silently flapped her wings and flew downwards.
She could feel Chen Luo gathering an even more terrifying power.
After entrusting Violet with the rear guard,
Looking up at the blood-red giant eye in the sky, a wild smile gradually spread across Chen Luo's lips:
"So, is it alright then?"
"Let me see..."
"How strong I am now!"
