Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

"Where's your backbone? Show some courage! Hahaha, you might just impress me!" the monster taunted.

Jiang Zongheng didn't respond, just kept knocking his head repeatedly.

"No, that's not it. Stay cool. Those with backbone are already dead."

"The opponent only wants to trample on his prey, revel in their despair, and not completely destroy them."

Begging in itself implies not giving up on survival. Absolute collapse means lacking even the will to live.

"Keep the will to survive but don't truly show anger... Make him want to continue tormenting me."

With this thought, after calmly analyzing the perverse delight in the other's heart... Jiang Zongheng staunchly believed in his viewpoint.

So... twelve hours after the torture began, the monster torturing him still had interest.

"Hahahaha, really to my taste, such poor acting, you can't even hide the dominance in your eyes, yet you hold no hatred towards me, despite being so humiliated by me, and still completely aware of what needs to be done right now."

"Under such torture, devoid of the ignorant notion that a gentleman can be killed but not humiliated, yet not really groveling."

"Boy, you are interesting! So interesting! Hahaha!"

Even at this moment, Jiang Zongheng showed no surprise.

"Although he has seen through my thoughts, he still hasn't killed me, which means... my thinking is correct."

Picked up by the burly, black-clothed monster, Jiang Zongheng's tall stature was lifted off the ground.

This monster was a good two meters and forty centimeters tall.

He held Jiang Zongheng by the neck with one hand, and said boastfully,

"It would be a pity for someone like you to die here. I've killed many people, observed many as well."

"Boy, do you have a name?"

Before Jiang Zongheng could respond, the monster continued on his own,

"From today onwards, you'll be known as 'Peerless Under Heaven.'"

Jiang Zongheng felt some reluctance inside; his own name was already a bit too melodramatic, and a name like that for the Advanced World... it would be quite inappropriate.

In all speculations about the name 'Peerless Under Heaven,' and even later when Peerless Under Heaven himself introduced it to others... they all thought it was a name he chose.

But in reality, only Peerless Under Heaven himself knew it was a name given to him.

The monster seemed to have some hopes:

"No matter what, you will survive, put in your utmost, abandon your bottom line, and calmly make a living. Someone like you may one day pursue the opportunity for divine enlightenment."

"Who are you... exactly?" Jiang Zongheng felt weak.

"Who I am is not important. You just need to remember who you are. From this day on, you shall be a person peerless under heaven, known as 'Peerless Under Heaven.'"

The monster disappeared.

It was at the moment the monster left that Jiang Zongheng suddenly understood the significance of what had been given to him, along with the reason for such a peculiar name.

All of this was because of a passive ability he had unknowingly mastered.

The name of this ability was also simple and domineering—

Peerless Under Heaven.

...

...

[Passive Skill, Peerless Under Heaven.]

[Triggers when receiving fatal damage, with a relatively long cooldown period.]

[During activation, triggers a resurrection effect, immune to all control states, unable to suffer from dizziness, slow, hypnosis, weakening, or domain effects.]

[During activation, all attributes are at their peak, and all stamina consumption for abilities is reduced by fifty percent.]

[This state lasts for three hundred and sixty seconds.]

The moment this ability was activated, Karlando tried to stop Peerless Under Heaven.

But he was too slow.

The activation of Peerless Under Heaven freed Peerless Under Heaven from "domainization."

Karlando was stunned.

Although he did not forcefully break open the game domain, and Peerless Under Heaven was still inside it, Peerless Under Heaven himself was no longer bound by the rules of the game world.

In other words—

Peerless Under Heaven was no longer a player, but an invader in the domain.

Once freed from domainization, Peerless Under Heaven's abilities were no longer restricted by the game domain.

All active skills could be used.

In the next three hundred and sixty seconds, every second would be exceedingly long for him.

Time Freeze Domain, activated.

The abilities of a Time Spirit involve just one skill, which is to manipulate time, controlling the flow of time within a specific range.

The more powerful the Time Spirit, the more precise they are in terms of range and the span of time.

A third-tier Time Spirit can achieve short periods of absolute stillness.

Thus, when Karlando attempted to intercept Peerless Under Heaven, Peerless Under Heaven had already reached behind Karlando.

His dagger gently slit Karlando's ritual robe at the back.

The pattern on the back, along with the cloth, was exposed to Peerless Under Heaven's sight.

The good news was, through this pattern, and the fact that the previous monsters did not have such patterns—

Peerless Under Heaven could be sure that the person before him was the one who opened the game domain.

What was once speculation now had solid evidence.

The bad news was—

he had been restrained.

However, Peerless Under Heaven's expression remained calm.

"As long as I don't touch him, it's fine."

At the same time.

Karlando also realized a problem.

In his field of vision, Peerless Under Heaven seemed to speed up suddenly, appearing behind him.

He could feel a dagger moving at an incredibly fast speed, slicing through the back of his own body.

"He's observing my pattern, but he didn't touch my body. I see, he's restrained by me."

In an instant, the two figures separated.
