Upon hearing Martin's words, Aotian was slightly taken aback. Soon after, his brows furrowed as a sense of foreboding suddenly spread from deep within his heart. 0
 
"Boss, this is bad! There’s a strange energy in this Light Shield that is eroding our vitality!" Niu Geng said with a grim expression, as he seemed to sense that the situation was becoming tricky. 0
 
Aotian closed his eyes slightly, as if trying to feel something. After a moment, he opened his eyes, which were filled with intense fury. 0
 
He sensed that within this Light Barrier, there was a strange deathly aura that continuously eroded the life force of the beings within the Light Shield. Even Aotian, if he stayed in this Light Barrier for too long, would likely face dire consequences. 0
 
"Kekeke, Aotian, you guessed correctly. This Dark Pearl is indeed a one-time treasure, and the existence of this Light Barrier is also limited. However, the deathly aura within the Light Barrier is extremely domineering and pervades everywhere. Your vitality will eventually be completely consumed by this deathly aura," Martin sneered from outside the Light Barrier. 0
 
Aotian sighed slightly in his heart; he knew that Martin was not wrong. As long as he remained in this dark Light Barrier, he would be unable to resist the erosion of the deathly aura. 0
 
Although the Light Barrier had a limited duration, during that time, his vitality would likely be completely depleted. 0
 
"Boss, look!" Suddenly, Niu Geng said with a trembling voice, pointing his index finger at the ground beneath them. 0
 
Aotian looked in the direction Niu Geng was pointing and immediately his expression grew even darker. 0
 
He saw that the flowers and grass on the ground began to turn yellow, then black, losing all signs of life and completely wilting away. 0
 
Aotian understood that the vitality of the plants was far weaker than that of himself and Niu Geng. Therefore, it didn’t take long for them to become lifeless. 0
 
Although both he and Niu Geng had stronger vitality than the plants, if they stayed in this Light Shield for too long, their fate would be exactly the same as those flowers and grass. 0
 
"Martin, since you have dealt such a deadly blow, don’t blame me!" Aotian said in a deep voice. 0
 
Immediately, an overwhelming killing intent surged from Aotian's body like a tidal wave. The air within the Light Barrier emitted a piercing "whoosh" sound under the cover of this killing intent. 0
 
 
It was a mix of fear, inspiration, and submission... 0
 
Martin saw Aotian preparing to strike and immediately sneered, "Aotian, stop being delusional. You cannot escape from this Light Barrier!" 0
 
"Heavenly Slaughter Strike!" 0
 
Aotian did not respond but instead roared, his voice filled with overwhelming killing intent. 0
 
The murderous aura condensed and surged, as if the gods in the heavens would fall under Aotian's overwhelming desire to kill. 0
 
In an instant, the terrifying killing intent gathered in Aotian's hand, transforming into a Spear of Slaughter. 0
 
The spear tip glimmered coldly, as if it could pierce through space. At some point, Martin's expression grew dark, his eyes filled with dread as he looked at Aotian within the Light Barrier. 0
 
"Break!" A sudden roar erupted from Aotian's mouth. 0
 
Then, Aotian gripped the Spear of Slaughter tightly, pointing its tip directly at the pitch-black Light Barrier. 0
 
With a whoosh, the Spear of Slaughter shot out from Aotian's palm, its tip striking fiercely against the Light Barrier. 0
 
Boom! 0
 
A torrent of overwhelming killing intent surged violently from the spear and crashed heavily against the dark Light Barrier. 0
 
 
Then, under the tense gazes of Aotian and Niu Geng, the pitch-black Light Barrier suddenly trembled, yet no cracks appeared. 0
 
Seeing this scene, Aotian felt helpless. He understood that unless he could unleash the Heavenly Slaughter Strike to its peak realm, it would be difficult to break through this Light Barrier. 0
 
However, Aotian also knew that in order to unleash the Heavenly Slaughter Strike to its peak, he would have to fully manifest his killing intent. 0
 
But if he completely unleashed his killing intent, there was a high possibility that he would lose control of it and fall into madness. At that point, it would be a loss beyond recovery. 0
 
After all, during his battle with Wang Jie on the Dueling Platform, he had fallen into madness because he fully unleashed his killing intent. If it hadn't been for the intervention of Vice President Lin Chaoqun, he would have likely become a puppet that only knew how to kill. 0
 
Therefore, Aotian dared not fully unleash his killing intent now. After all, last time Lin Chaoqun had intervened, but this time there was no one to help him. 0
 
Yet, without unleashing the Heavenly Slaughter Strike to its peak, it would be extremely difficult to break through this Light Barrier. This left Aotian filled with unwillingness. 0
 
The pitch-black Light Shield trembled violently for a moment before settling down completely. It stood as the most solid existence in the world; even the Spear of Slaughter could do nothing against it. 0
 
Outside the Light Barrier, Martin felt his heart race when he sensed the Spear of Slaughter condensed by Aotian. Although he had great confidence in the Dark Pearl unique to his organization, Aotian's killing intent was truly overwhelming, causing even him to feel some fear. 0
 
However, when he saw the intact pitch-black Light Shield, his racing heart calmed down. With a smug expression, he said: 0
 
"Haha, Aotian, you don't need to struggle anymore; just obediently wait to be completely eroded by death energy!" 0
 
Aotian's expression kept changing. At this moment, he wanted to unleash the Heavenly Slaughter Strike to its peak and break this Light Shield but feared falling into madness and becoming a puppet that only knew how to kill. Thus, his emotions were extremely conflicted. 0
 
"First level Demonization!" 0
 
Just as Aotian wavered, Niu Geng suddenly roared. 0
 
 
Suddenly, an overwhelming aura surged from Niu Geng's body, and an Ancient Character slowly emerged at his forehead. His eyes turned blood red in an instant, and even the veins beneath his skin became pitch black. 0
 
Aotian was not surprised by this. He had seen Niu Geng use this move in the Ice Tower, a technique that could significantly boost Niu Geng's power. According to Aotian's estimation, even if Niu Geng had only activated the first level of Demonization, he would be able to handle Mo Gang with ease. 0
 
Niu Geng's gaze slowly shifted, finally locking onto Martin outside the Light Barrier. 0
 
Martin met Niu Geng's eyes, and a surge of brutal energy rose from deep within him, igniting an impulse to destroy everything. 0
 
In an instant, cold sweat broke out on Martin's forehead. He pushed off the ground with his foot and retreated rapidly, unable to bear looking into Niu Geng's eyes any longer, fear filling his gaze. 0
 
"Roar!" 0
 
Suddenly, Niu Geng let out a skyward howl, the sound causing the Light Barrier to tremble violently. At that moment, Niu Geng seemed to transform into another person, like a demon descending upon the world, instilling fear in all. 0
 
Without warning, Niu Geng raised his right fist, dark light shimmering on his knuckles, appearing quite dazzling. Then he swung his fist down hard towards the Light Barrier. 0
 
"Boom!" 0
 
Niu Geng's fist made intimate contact with the Light Barrier, causing it to shake violently. The spot where Niu Geng struck seemed to begin caving in slightly. 0
 
A frenzied crimson glinted in Niu Geng's eyes as he relentlessly pounded the same spot on the Light Barrier with his fists. 0
 
As time passed, a crack began to spread from where Niu Geng was striking. 0
 
Upon seeing that crack, Aotian's eyes sparkled with joy while Martin wore an expression of disbelief. As for Niu Geng, he appeared to have transformed into a machine devoid of any feelings, tirelessly continuing his assault. 0
 
Unbeknownst to him, cold sweat had begun to form on Niu Geng's forehead, and the lively spark in his eyes was replaced by dullness. 0
 
 
Clearly, the level of Demonization that Niu Geng used is remarkable, but it is not without limitations and side effects. 0
 
"Break!" 0
 
Suddenly, a roar like that of a beast erupted from Niu Geng's mouth. As Niu Geng's fist struck the Light Barrier, it immediately began to buckle under the pressure, cracks spreading across the entire Light Shield before it shattered completely. 0
 
At the moment the Light Shield broke, Niu Geng seemed utterly exhausted and collapsed to the ground. 0
 
Aotian was startled and rushed over to check on Niu Geng. Upon realizing that he was merely drained of energy, Aotian let out a heavy sigh of relief. 0
 
At the same time, as Niu Geng fainted from exhaustion, the Ancient Character on his forehead slowly dissipated, and the dark veins beneath his skin returned to their original state. 0
 
On the other side, Martin was already stunned. Clearly, Niu Geng breaking through that dark Light Barrier stirred up a storm in his heart. After all, Niu Geng had not stood out in the academy, yet he managed to break this Light Barrier—how could Martin not be shocked? 0
 
When Martin saw Aotian checking on Niu Geng, his first reaction was to run as far away as possible. 0
 
After all, at this moment, Martin was severely injured, and his trump card, the Dark Pearl, had been destroyed by Niu Geng. If he didn't run, would he just wait to die? He certainly did not naively believe that Aotian would let him go. 0
 
It seemed that Aotian sensed Martin's intention to escape. Instantly, he clenched his hand, and the Spear of Slaughter appeared ominously in Aotian's grasp. 0
 
"Martin, die!" 0
 
Aotian shouted fiercely and then lunged forward with the spear aimed at Martin's chest. 0
 
Before the Spear of Slaughter even got close, Martin felt an overwhelming force of slaughter enveloping him, leaving him no way to escape; he could only brace himself for impact. 0
 
"Damn it, Aotian! You forced my hand! Dark Blood Shockwave Seal!" 0
 
 
Martin's hand seals continuously changed, and his face quickly turned pale as a drop of essence blood was spat out from his mouth. 0
 
Suddenly, Martin's hand seals came to a halt. In an instant, a Heavenly Seal shot out from Martin's palms, and that drop of essence blood instantly merged into the Heavenly Seal. 0
 
Blood-colored runes emerged at the edges of the Heavenly Seal, and a momentum that seemed capable of shaking the heavens and earth surged forth from it. 0
 
Aotian's expression remained calm, showing no signs of disturbance at the appearance of the Heavenly Seal. He tightly gripped the Spear of Slaughter, with its tip directly pointed at the Heavenly Seal. 0
 
There was no earth-shattering roar, no prolonged stalemate, no twists and turns—only an unstoppable force. 0
 
The Heavenly Seal seemed as fragile as paper; the tip of the Spear of Slaughter instantly pierced through it and shot straight towards Martin. 0
 
The pierced Heavenly Seal dissipated into nothingness in an instant. 0
 
As he watched the Spear of Slaughter draw closer, despair enveloped Martin's face. He knew his time was up... 0
