Chapter 496: Killing Liuli, Ending the Assessment

"Are you Liuli? A proud and powerful member of the Tri-eyed Divine Race?"

"Indeed, you posed a great threat to me. However, times have changed, and I have become stronger! You are no match for me!"

Waldo completely ignored the monster leader, his gaze fixed intently on Liuli.

"No matter how noble a divine race you belong to, the moment you decided to come to the land of darkness and compete with me, your doom was sealed."

"I will crush you under my feet! Your pride and dignity will be trampled and ground into the mud by me!"

...

"Hahaha, trialist, that’s the biggest joke I’ve ever heard."

Liuli burst into laughter.

His eyes were full of contempt.

"To be honest, I’m surprised by your growth rate, but it ends here!"

"You’re a Level Five trialist? Let me tell you, a Level Five trialist will never be a match for a Level

Five divine being! Die!"

Liuli roared, and a blue longsword appeared in his hand.

The moment the sword was drawn, a long and ancient sword cry echoed between heaven and earth.

As if coming from ancient times.

With an ancient and vast aura, there seemed to be ancient mountains and giant beasts emerging in a blur.

This appeared to be the ultimate sword in this world!

Capable of cutting through time itself and even the sun, moon, and stars!

"This is one of the most precious heirlooms of my divine race, now used against you. Even in death, you can take pride in that!"

"Die!"

Liuli sneered with a twisted face, opening his third eye.

Terrifying energy rampaged wildly from it.

He seemed confident, certain that this sword could kill Waldo.

Waldo narrowed his eyes slightly.

The great danger he had sensed before might be related to the longsword in Liuli’s hand.

...

"Stop the world!"

Suddenly, everything became still.

The surging, violent energy came to a complete halt.

Liuli’s eyes bulged in disbelief as he saw the entire world come to a standstill.

He was unable to move, and his power was completely frozen.

However, his consciousness remained crystal clear.

He knew he had entered a very special realm.

Time itself had stopped flowing.

In his unbelievably frightened gaze,

Waldo smiled slightly.

Holding a long spear, wrapped in terrifying power, he struck in an instant.

Ptui!

The spear pierced through the body.

A powerful member of the Tri-eyed Divine Race was thus killed.

...

"Just like that!"

Waldo sneered disdainfully.

This Liuli had previously put immense pressure on him.

But once he advanced to a Level Five trialist, Liuli became nothing.

The feeling of having everything under control was truly wonderful.

At that moment, Waldo’s gaze suddenly turned cold.

The spear changed direction, sweeping through like a dragon emerging from its cave.

It was aimed at the monster leader, who had somehow slipped into the dark void!

It had hidden well, its body almost entering another dimension.

Under normal circumstances, Waldo guessed it would have been difficult to detect.

But at this moment, with time itself halted, space was naturally imprisoned.

The monster leader was forced to reveal its true form.

"Roar!"

A hint of terror appeared in the monster leader’s eyes.

Then, with a roar, it unleashed a powerful domain, booming outward.

It actually broke Waldo’s [Stop the World].

...

"Broken?"

Waldo was momentarily stunned.

Then, he understood.

The monster leader was, after all, a Level Six being.

Though its combat power was not as high as Liuli’s, that was because Liuli had a unique bloodline and possessed powerful artifacts.

At Level Six, one could employ domain abilities.

In their own domain, their combat power would significantly increase.

While the opponent would be somewhat weakened!

The monster leader had used its domain to break free from Waldo’s Stop the World.

"But it’s too late!"

With a cold laugh, seven or eight figures of Waldo appeared in the sky.

Like a towering god or demon, his presence was majestic.

Then, one by one, they struck out with their palms.

They rapidly enlarged, seemingly ready to break the heavens and the earth.

Amidst the piercing wails, one of the giant hands struck the monster leader, eliciting a miserable scream.

Then, another large hand caught it.

With a gentle squeeze, it turned into a lump of indistinct flesh and blood.

However, at this time, the monster leader was not yet dead.

After all, as a Level Six being, it possessed a body almost akin to an undying physique.

"Fire!"

Waldo sneered, igniting a purple flame, burning its flesh and blood to cinders.

...

In the sky, the energy surged unceasingly, but the dense clouds quietly dispersed at a certain moment.

The army of monsters was defeated and fled in disarray.

The wind stopped.

Everything was over.

...

"Hahaha, we won!"

"We won!"

"It’s wonderful! The monster leader is killed, and Liuli died at the hands of Lord Waldo. Lord Waldo is invincible, suppressing all enemies in the world! So powerful! Lord Waldo is too strong!"

"Wuu wuu wuu, I thought I was surely dead, I even despaired, but I didn’t expect it to end like this!"

"Lord Waldo’s power defies the heavens, long live Lord Waldo!"

Inside the ruined Black Iron Castle, the trialists shouted loudly.

Their voices rose and fell, deafening.

All the trialists were incredibly excited.

Even though many were seriously injured.

But that did not stop them from celebrating and cheering.

...

"It’s over!"

Waldo sighed, feeling happy too.

Overall, his journey through the land of darkness had not been smooth.

He had always been amidst battles and crises.

Had it not been for his rapid increase in strength, any problem at any point along the way would have spelled his doom!

This path was fraught with thorns. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

But fortunately, it was all over now.

Waldo was the trailblazing warrior, one who would slay gods and buddhas in his path, unstoppable and overwhelming in his advance!

The system’s voice also appeared at just the right moment.
