A God-tier Counter-damage Priest, I am the Master!

180: S-rank skill: Limitless Devouring— ”(Ding-dong)”!

”(Congratulations to player—[Brilliant] for defeating a monarch-level BOSS.)”

”(As the first player in the entire server to kill a monarch-level BOSS, the rewards are Level: +4, Luck: +5, and one S-Rank Skill Upgrade Scroll.)”

A series of system announcements rang out shockingly; even Bai Tian himself was immersed in this sudden, unexpected surprise.

Bai Tian, who was originally only Level 45, saw his level instantly soar to Level 53, leaving him only 7 levels away from advancing to the higher realm of the fourth transfer.

After leveling up 8 times in a row, he gained a total of 396 free attribute points. Bai Tian dumped them all into Intelligence in one go, resulting in a massive increase in his magic attack and maximum mana.

Flowers in Full Bloom was indeed an intimate and helpful assistant. Almost the instant Bai Tian unexpectedly killed the monarch-level Vengeful Demon, she snatched all three items dropped by the demon directly into her bag.

If she had been even a bit slower, the three precious items dropped by the monarch-level Vengeful Demon might have been snatched by Emil and Winter.

Having been a step too late, Emil and Winter let out heavy snorts of frustration.

”I’ll hold onto the things the BOSS dropped for you first. I’ll give them to you after the threat is cleared.”

Flowers in Full Bloom immediately sent Bai Tian a private team message.

In fact, with the level of trust between her and Bai Tian, even if Flowers in Full Bloom hadn’t said a word, Bai Tian would have been completely at ease.

With the help of this confidante, Bai Tian could focus his energy immediately on enhancing his combat strength.

The system had rewarded Bai Tian with an S-Rank Skill Upgrade Scroll, and he decisively pulled it out to use it.

— [S-Rank Skill Upgrade Scroll]!

(This is a special scroll created with the life’s blood of an ancient God-level Talisman Master. After use, it can upgrade any single skill to the S-Rank Divine level.)

Awesome!

Without even thinking, Bai Tian used the S-Rank scroll directly on the [Deprivation Devour] skill.

— ”(Ding-dong)”!

”(You have successfully used the [S-Rank Skill Upgrade Scroll]!)”

”(The skill you possess, [Deprivation Devour], has been upgraded to the S-Rank Divine level—[Limitless Devour].)”

— [S-Rank: Limitless Devour]!

(Spiritually lock onto any target within perception to perform a devouring instant-kill on units whose Intelligence is lower than yours or whose realm does not exceed yours by more than two major realms.)

(For targets killed by devouring, the death penalty is increased by 4 times, and 40 permanent attribute points will be randomly stripped and given to the caster.)

CD: 150 seconds.

Explosive! This is explosive!

After upgrading to S-Rank, the power of [Limitless Devour] had increased by countless levels, a world of difference compared to before.

At this moment, the Monarch-level Yuan Yao, which still maintained over 80% of its health, descended from the high heavens with a towering murderous aura, surrounded by a persistent blood mist like a winding river of blood.

The Monarch-level Yuan Yao, like a supreme demon from the Nine Netherworlds, glared sinisterly at Bai Tian, who had killed one of its kin.

”Vile creature! Let us fight again.”

Having already reached Level 22, the Nine Extremes Thunder Lion’s aura was several times stronger than before, and its status was instantly fully restored. Thunder around its body transformed into clouds of lightning that wouldn’t dissipate—a domineering display of sparks and flint.

As soon as it spoke, the Nine Extremes Thunder Lion let out a ”crack,” turning into a bolt of lightning. Leaving an afterimage behind, it had already flown into the sky to attack the Monarch-level Yuan Yao.

”This time, see if this Emperor doesn’t skin you alive.”

The Vajra Demon Ape, which had also reached Level 22, showed a massive change in its physique alone. Its body was covered in pitch-black demonic flames like swimming black dragons. Demonic energy pierced the sky as it, like the Nine Extremes Thunder Lion, struck at the Monarch-level Yuan Yao.

An immortal pet was an immortal pet; the state after leveling up 10 times in a row was simply an earth-shattering transformation.

This gave Bai Tian even more confidence, allowing him to focus his attention on the last monarch-level Vengeful Demon.

At that moment, Liao Fan, Frost Like Snow, and Ku Ye were blasted away by the force of the last monarch-level Vengeful Demon.

Liao Fan, being a squishy class, was slapped to death instantly, and his corpse plummeted down.

Ku Ye and Frost Like Snow were slightly tankier, but they both fell into a critical health state.

If not for the 20-fold buff from Bai Tian, none of the three would have been able to withstand a single blow from the monarch-level Vengeful Demon.

Worried that something might happen to Liao Fan, Bai Tian immediately cast the [Houtu Soul Summoning Art] on his corpse, attempting to resurrect him.

Before this, Bai Tian had tried to resurrect people who had recently died within the [Nether Heaven Great Realm].

But they had all failed. However, today perhaps it was because everyone had 5 extra resurrection opportunities within.

Thus, the [Houtu Soul Summoning Art] showed miraculous results, actually resurrecting Liao Fan in an instant with full status and exempt from all death penalties.

”Holy crap!”

”Thank goodness for you.”

Liao Fan secretly rejoiced and quickly activated Elemental Teleportation to leave the spot and hide far away.

But this monarch-level Vengeful Demon clearly didn’t want to let Liao Fan off so easily; it opened its mouth and spat out a bolt of blood-colored energy in pursuit.

Bai Tian, however, curled his lips: ”Let’s have you try my new skill.”

Bai Tian decisively cast the recently upgraded S-Rank skill, [Limitless Devour].

Behind Bai Tian, a massive energy figure modeled after himself, a Manifestation of Heaven and Earth, immediately formed.

When the giant energy figure opened its mouth, it was like a divine dragon sucking up water.

The skill description said that any existence with lower Intelligence or a realm not exceeding his by more than two major realms would be sucked in and killed by [Limitless Devour].

But whether it would succeed was still an unknown.

However, in the next moment, it indeed showed miraculous effects.

The previously invincible monarch-level Vengeful Demon suddenly screamed in terror. Its body and all the red blood mist around it were uncontrollably pulled into the air by an irresistible force.

Finally, everything was sucked entirely into the giant energy mouth of the Manifestation.

With a ”poof,” the moment it was sucked inside, the last eye on the chest of this monarch-level Vengeful Demon burst.

It worked!

Bai Tian was wild with joy, secretly marveling at how domineering an S-Rank Divine skill was!

Even a BOSS of this level could be sucked in and killed by him.

If Bai Tian reached Level 60 and the fourth transfer, wouldn’t he be able to insta-kill even a Monarch-level Yuan Yao with one move?

However, the surprises the S-Rank skill [Limitless Devour] brought to Bai Tian were far more than just this.

— ”Bang!”

The monarch-level Vengeful Demon, whose last eye on its chest had already burst, was still trapped within the giant energy mouth of the Manifestation.

The monarch-level Vengeful Demon, which had just recovered to full status, saw its body completely explode, turning into a cloud of blood mist that was sucked away until it vanished into thin air.

— ”(Ding-dong)”!

”(Congratulations to player—[Brilliant] from the Da Xia Server Region for defeating a monarch-level Vengeful Demon. Reward: 500,000 you tian points.)”

The ringing of this system announcement instantly shocked all online players in the [Nether Heaven Great Realm] to the core.
