The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 1491: Jade Ant Queen’s Rebirth (4)

”Behind you,” a voice called out in panic. An assassin, wielding a slightly long dagger, turned and looked behind him at the warning of this voice. That was a mistake because the moment he turned, a sword came from his left, aimed at his neck.

Being an Immortal Lord, he managed to react quickly, moving his body up. However, it was futile because the moment he moved his body to save his neck, a spear rose from the ground and embedded itself deep into his heart, making him the second casualty that Klaus had registered.

His body fell limp but never got to land on the ground.

Just when it was a few meters off the ground, it vanished into thin air.

Klaus smiled, then turned himself intangible, causing a shadow to pass by him. It was the same mysterious person who kept attacking him with the poisoned dagger.

While he hadn’t figured out a way to keep him from being hurt by their dagger, Klaus knew that with the [Intangible Me] skill, he could at least evade some of the attacks, provided he managed to track when they took aim at him.

Looking at the 8 remaining assassins lunging at him, a grin appeared on his face, and he moved, turning into a blood mist.

In combat, there are many ways to empower one’s abilities. Some methods are costly and even deadly. At the top ten, three of them stood out.

The first is Immortal Rings Explosion.

It is one of the best ways to strengthen one’s abilities. Whenever an immortal ring is exploded, it floods the body with so much energy, allowing the warrior to unleash powerful attacks.

When used right, it can even aid a demigod in killing a god.

Looking sideways, Klaus could tell that was what Crux was doing. She is a Calamity Beast, so Immortal Rings come naturally to her. Exploding a few to raise her strength wasn’t much of a struggle.

However, she would pay for it when she ran out of immortal rings to explode.

The second way is soul-burning. This involves burning the soul, thereby directly absorbing Pure Soul Qi. This is dangerous because a small mistake can cost one their life.

Not many dare to do this.

The third, however, is common and also causes many powerhouses to become vegetables after a harrowing battle.

It is a method called Bloodline Burning. This involves burning one’s blood essence to strengthen oneself. It is ranked high on the list because its effect depends on how strong one’s bloodline is.

Klaus was now using this method, thanks to his overpowered bloodline.

Of course, when one burns their bloodline, it comes back to bite them, since refining blood essence is extremely hard.

In fact, most of the time, it is impossible to refine more blood essence, so many use this method at their own risk.

Klaus, however, is different. The reason why he is using it is rather simple: he has many wives.

Before the planet’s awakening, he awakened a new ability linked to the [Paragon Mark] called [Bloodline Points]. This ability allows him to turn Paragon Points into Bloodline Points. These points can then be used to increase the power of his bloodline.

In short, if he were to burn his blood essence to 0%, all he needed to do was convert Paragon Points to Bloodline Points to strengthen it, thereby restoring his blood essence to 100%.

Before the battle, he asked Icon how many Paragon Points he had, especially since those points are accumulated through sex and killing.

The more sex he had with his wives, the more he earned. Aside from that, his kills, their kills, and the kills of anyone having his blood running through their veins add to his points.

He had no idea what his friends and beast legion were up to or how much sex he had had, but when he checked the points, he was blown away.

---

[Paragon Points: 198,880,930,100]

---

The billions in Paragon Points told him he could do as he pleased, and he would never run out, not when 1 million Paragon Points is equivalent to 1 Bloodline Point now that he is a True Immortal.

So as he burned away his Primordial Vampire Monarch bloodline, he had no fear since it wouldn’t be the end of him.

In fact, as he evaded a dagger to the neck, his hand whipped back and landed a dirty slap on a green-haired assassin lady.

”That felt good,” he smiled and turned to blood mist, evading another attack from the mysterious person.

He reformed, and with a wave of his hand, 100 spears formed from the metal element appeared from the ground, and they all attacked one assassin.

She tried to evade; however, Klaus used the time law on her, causing her movement to slow down considerably.

She was skewered by all 100 spears, ending her life.

Seeing another one of their teammates die at Klaus’s hand, all caution was thrown into the wind. One assassin ignited their life force, causing their power to surge into the ranks of a demigod.

At once, Klaus felt a powerful force fall on his body.

’Damn, I need to kill him next before his power surges beyond the demigod stage.’

*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*

Before Klaus could make his move, four more assassins ignited their life force. At once, his body became so heavy that when the mysterious person attacked, he couldn’t evade.

.

.

.

Nine deadly attacks lacerated his neck, arms, and legs, instantly raising the toxin level in his body to a lethal level.

[Dantura Nightshade Toxin Lethality Level: 72%]

”Damn it,” Klaus’s bloodline burned fiercely, his strength rising. However, when the five assassins, now comparable to demigods, unleashed their combined attacks, he was instantly locked in place.

”Not today.”

His eyes flashed red, and from his soul, a wooden staff vibrated. On the outside, Klaus raised his hand, and the wooden staff appeared. With a deadly thrust, he embedded it into the ground.

”Staff of Gravity,” the ground trembled, causing many cracks to appear.

Klaus moved and formed a couple of complex hand seals, causing the staff to ignite in brilliant golden light.

”Absolute Zero Gravity.”

The five fake demigods coming at him froze midair, and then they came crashing down. Klaus had cancelled gravity, and, using the power of the wooden staff, he rewrote the laws around them, so they could all fight on level ground.

However, by doing this, he could not use the law of gravity or any other law in that case. But Klaus wasn’t worried, not when he had already prepared for the next best thing to mitigate the staff’s effect on him.

Watching the five fake demigods lunging at him again, his eyes flared dark for a moment, then he smiled weakly.

”I am still too weak.”

He lifted his sword, and for the first time after he awakened the Primordial Vampire Monarch’s bloodline, he activated his partially awakened domain, the same domain that was once wielded by the Paragon of War, Magnus.

”Domain of War and Carnage.”

The ground exploded, and lava poured out, followed by the ringing of chains brushing against one another. Flames ignited from the lava, and deep from the scorching maw of flames, a red eye flared, releasing a terrifying soul attack that swept across the entire Jade Nest.
