Mark was quite taken aback to see the list of attributes Yan Hai has mastered. He never met a man who could have so many attributes.

Of course, he himself is an exception. But he has the system. So, it can be understood that Mark has so many attributes.

What did Yan Hai have that he managed to awaken these many?

It was then his eyes captured that one word, ’Dragon’ bloodline on the details, and suddenly everything made sense for him. Before it wasn’t, now it was.

Then, he remembered that the former Emperor of the Tang Dynasty siding with the Supreme Pontiff, passed away, and the blame for his death fell upon his head instead.

”The power to absorb other people’s abilities?” The thought came to his head at once. He couldn’t help but comment, ”You practiced a cultivation technique that lets you absorb the powers of the ones you have defeated.”

Yan Hai wasn’t surprised by Mark’s comment. Instead, he let out a smile, ”And I’m looking forward to gaining your powers once I kill you, Lu Zhen.”

Mark didn’t take his words seriously and replied, ”It’s funny that I have a similar ability, although it only works on those with Tier-5 bloodline.”

”Tier-5 bloodline?” Yan Hai furrowed his brows.

Mark didn’t explain and simply shrugged his shoulders, ”It doesn’t matter. The Dragon Bloodline you had stolen is insignificant anyway.”

Yan Hai’s frown deepened further by Mark’s comment, but then he let out a smirk instead, ”If your Blizzard Pegasus Bloodline is better, then I’m happy to replace it with the current one.”

”Oh, do you think so?” Mark raised his eyebrow.

”Gravity Dome, activate.”

Mark didn’t waste in unleashing his most used skill, the Gravity Dome into the surroundings.

Yan Hai went down to his knees at once. Mark slowly walked forward in confidence.

Looking down at the kneeling suppressed enemy from a close distance, Mark coldly asked, ”Any last words?”

Suddenly, Yan Hai’s facial expression changed. The smirk returned to his face one more time as he stretched his arm.

”Ugh…”

Shrouded in a dark aura, Yan Hai’s hand pierced Mark’s stomach.

Mark spat out a mouthful of blood, taken aback in surprise, as corrupted energy invaded Mark’s insides through Yan Hai’s fingers.

The Gravity Dome skill was dispelled in an instant, and Mark staggered back a few steps with his hand on the wound. Yan Hai retrieved his hand, smeared by Mark’s blood, and got up; he observed his fingers for a second, ”Hmm… it looks like you have multiple bloodlines in your body. Interesting.”

”Ark, what’s going on?” Mark found out that his ether energy could not heal his wounds, and this corrupted energy that invaded his system also started spreading rapidly, trying to attack his organs. Most importantly, this strange power is also interfering him to take out weapons from the inventory. For a person who was confident about winning, the setback has really hurt his ego

Just like the system in the past, the artificial intelligence is also quick to analyze his body and give him the needed answer.

*Ding! The unknown energy has the properties of dampening your powers, master. Do you authorize me to take over your system for the solution?

”Yes, please… Ugh…”

As Mark felt what it felt to be suppressed of his powers, Yan Hai charged forward and gave a punch to his gut.

Mark’s physique withstood the pain due to Enhanced durability, but the raging corrupted energy inside his body attacked his lungs at once due to the vibration sent by the punch.

Coughing out another mouthful of blood, Mark asked as if he was desperate to know the answer more, ”It is impossible. What energy was that you injected into my body? I can’t use my abilities.”

Yan Hai answered with a confident face, ”It is the Doom energy, Lu Zhen. Your attributes don’t matter. Your bloodlines don’t matter. Not even your cultivation level doesn’t matter.”

The scene reversed with Mark struggling to breathe while Yan Hai placed his hand on Mark’s chest, continuing to brag, ”I went to great lengths to please Lord Doom to acquire this power. Only something like cosmic energy can resist this. A mortal human like you can never…”

Yan Hai’s words ended abruptly as golden divine energy gushed out of his body, forming a layer over his skin. His eyes also turned golden and started glowing as a smile appeared on his face, ”Thanks for the info, Yan Hai.” Yan Hai’s facial expression was frozen, ”Divine energy?”

”Activate, Anti-matter Blast.”

In an instant, large amounts of concentrated antimatter energy conjured above his palm in the form of a sphere, before it was launched at the enemy. Yan Hai couldn’t evade the attack, for it was too close. He was struck and blasted away in the air.

Mark then swiftly summoned the divine throne from the inventory, placing it on the ground and sitting on it, unleashing an ability of the throne.

*Ding! Your stats are increased by 2 points.

”Activate, Divine shield.”

”Ahhh!”

A piercing scream filled with pain emerged from Yan Hai’s mouth as the antimatter was about to explode inside. He tried using his Doom energy to suppress it.

Mark could also see Yan Hai transformed into a humanoid dragon covered by energy layers of lightning, fire, water, etc…

All of them acting together managed to suppress the antimatter energy, but not enough to destroy it. As a demigod, Yan Hai knew very well what might happen if he tried to destroy it with force. Moreover, he was also aware that he didn’t have much time. The best way for him is to kill his enemy as fast as possible and absorb his powers so that this foreign energy will become his asset instead.

”Lu Zhen…”

An enraged Yan Hai charged down at Mark, covered by a glowing golden barrier.

As Yan Hai’s strongest attack - a concentrated beam of doom energy struck the divine shield generated by the throne, couldn’t do any damage, Mark couldn’t help but let out an arrogant smirk, crossing his legs, ”Your Doom or whatever energy is something I didn’t expect to hurt me earlier but now that I’m prepared, there is nothing you can do right now to prevent your death.”

”Then, I will kill you before that happens,” Yan Hai lost his cool. His humanoid dragon form slowly evolved to a giant red dragon and opened its mouth. A sea of black flames powered up by tried to destroy the divine shield. While nothing happened to it, the ground beneath Mark, however, started to melt down.

Mark, whose ether energy reserves were steadily increasing, waited for atleast more than half a minute as the ground around him melted and magma rose to his feet.

Meanwhile, Yan Hai, who was on the brink of his death, not to mention in his beast form, only became more enraged and evolved even further, developing a third eye on his forehead that merged all the attributes he had to release a white beam of concentrated energy.

*Ding! An unknown energy is detected.

The artificial intelligence set him the notification as the divine shield started cracking with the assault of the white beam. Mark was however calm.

”Ark, check my ether reserves.” He responded with an order.

*Ding! At 52%.

”Good. Dismiss the divine shield.”

*Ding! Warning: Risk of Death significantly rises.

”Just do it.” Mark turned serious.

The cracking divine shield was dispelled at once, letting the white beam come at him.

It was just about to strike him but stopped right when it was about to strike the empty throne. The white beam bent itself, making a U-turn and went toward the dragon instead.

Mark, who teleported to the dragon’s behind, pushed forth his hand, unleashing another skill of his, ”Activate, Singularity.”

A tiny dot appeared on his palm, creating an enormous amount of suction force, bending the space in front of it, and swallowing up the dragon in a second.

Yan Hai didn’t even know what hit him before he found himself trapped in a dimension with everything pressing him on all sides. As he tried to protect himself in the black hole, the anti-matter energy broke its prison and released 30 exajoules of energy at once. Not even a speck of cell tissue belonging to Yan Hai remained in the end and to Mark’s ignorance, even Yan Hai’s soul was also exterminated.

However, it was so high that singularity was destroyed on its own, and the remnant energy leaked to the outside world, much of it formed like a beam of energy that made a hole in the walls and some of it affected Mark, injuring his hand in the process, too. Fortunately, it was only like second-degree burns.

*Ding! You completed one of the quests left by the system: Eliminate the New Threat. Cosmic Essence Absorption has been added to your skill list.

*Ding! Due to the complete destruction of the target, Primeval bloodline fails to extract the essence of Doom.

”Oh, I didn’t know this was interested in attributes too; maybe, it was because it was special, but anyway, what’s done is done. And now, only two quests are left to be finished before I leave this planet.

With the confirmation from the artificial intelligence, Mark dismissed the singularity and flew out of the volcano in peace.
