Chapter 1326: Chapter 534: Eternal Night Fortress – Peril Emerges

Zhang Beixing’s battle intent blazed in his eyes, yet his expression remained calm and unruffled.

The black‑robed figure before him was radiating a terrifying aura that chilled the Soul.

But to someone like him who had always placed absolute faith in his own Power, this was nothing more than another opponent that needed to be conquered.

“Interesting, you’re quite an unusual one.” Zhang Beixing raised his hand to point at the black‑robed man, a confident smile curling at his lips. “But before me, you too can only bow your head and submit.”

“Arrogant!” The black‑robed man’s face darkened, killing intent surging around him. “You think that with your Strength alone you can shake my position? How naive!”

“Heh, quite the big mouth.” Zhang Beixing snorted coldly as the Angel’s Wing on his back slowly unfurled, holy radiance spilling out to blanket the land. “Then let me see what you’re really capable of!”

“Beixing, be careful!” Alina’s delicate body trembled as she hurriedly called out, “I can sense an extremely vile Power on him, he won’t be easy to handle!”

“Rest easy. With me here, no one can harm him.” Richard gripped his longsword tight, his gaze blazing, fighting spirit surging. “Mere vermin—how could they ever contend with my Master?”

[Host, the opponent is no common foe. You need to heighten your vigilance.] The Persuasion System once more offered its counsel, its tone grave. [This may be one of the strongest enemies on your path of conquest.]

“It’s fine. An undefeated king has always walked a lonely road.” Zhang Beixing was utterly composed, baleful aura billowing around him. “This era is destined to become my possession!”

With that, he leapt into the air, the Demon God Staff in his hand blazing with a strange, sinister light.

The Power of the Soul Devourer erupted in an instant.

Vmm—

A horrifying energy fluctuation swept across all of heaven and earth.

The ground shuddered, mountains and rivers lost their color.

Yet the black‑robed man stood unmoving, as if stirred by no wind.

He swept out his right hand, and a pitch‑black barrier appeared out of thin air.

He actually took that earth‑shattering strike head‑on!

“Impossible…” Alina and Richard stared wide‑eyed, their faces going pale.

The dignified Power of the Soul Devourer couldn’t even touch him?

Just what kind of terrifying Strength was this?

Everyone’s hearts were quaking in shock; even Zhang Beixing’s expression shifted slightly.

“Now this is interesting.” The black‑robed man chuckled lightly, his tone unhurried. “No wonder even the Sea Demon bowed to you. You do have some real ability.”

“But unfortunately, this level is still far from enough.”

Before his voice even fell, he suddenly thrust out his right hand.

Five fingers like hooks, reaching straight for Zhang Beixing’s face.

His Speed was pushed to the extreme; in a blink, the strike was upon him!

At the critical moment, the Angel’s Wing snapped open.

A vast surge of Divine Power abruptly enveloped Zhang Beixing.

Bang!

Another deafening boom split heaven and earth.

The two Powers collided violently, kicking up towering waves.

Dust roiled up to the sky, blotting out the sun.

After a long moment, the dust finally settled and the battlefield was revealed once more.

Only to see Zhang Beixing and the black‑robed man each forced back a single step, blades drawn and tensions high.

Neither could overcome the other; they were locked in a dead stalemate.

“It seems we both underestimated each other.” The black‑robed man wore a half‑smile, his gaze playful. “Your Power is indeed not to be taken lightly.”

“The same goes for you.” Zhang Beixing said coldly, a trace of confidence tugging at the corner of his mouth. “But you really think this is all I’ve got?”

“Soul Devouring Secret Technique! Nine Heavens!”

With a thunderous roar, heaven and earth seemed to collapse.

A Power even more terrifying than before detonated in the void.

Boundless darkness surged forth as if to devour everything.

Even light itself had nowhere to flee.

“This… how is this possible…!”

The black‑robed man’s pupils shrank, his face abruptly changing.

He felt an unprecedented pressure bearing down on him, as if his very Soul would be ground to dust.

The Ninth Layer of the Soul-devouring Technique was actually this terrifying!

Countless violet‑black chains coiled around his limbs.

Like maggots on a bone, they sank into the marrow.

He could not move, powerless to resist.

“Stop… spare me…”

For the first time, weakness slipped into the black‑robed man’s voice.

Before absolute Strength, any amount of arrogance was nothing but illusion.

“Kneel.”

Zhang Beixing spat out the two words coldly, his gaze sharp as a blade.

As soon as the words left his mouth, the black‑robed man crashed heavily to his knees.

Dust flew up all around; he could no longer move an inch.

“You… just what are you…”

He lifted his head, his eyes filled with disbelief.

The mighty Lord of the Darknight had actually been defeated so utterly.

It was simply inconceivable, enough to drive one to despair.

“I am the king of this era.”

Zhang Beixing spoke lightly, his tone calm yet filled with majesty. “I will make the entire world bow its head in submission.”

“As for you…”

His lips curved slightly, his gaze unfathomable.

“If you’re willing to submit to me, you might just keep that little life of yours.”

“Otherwise, don’t blame me for being merciless.”

As the final word landed, his aura shifted abruptly.

Boundless killing intent instantly spread out.

It sent chills down the spine and set the heart pounding.

“I…”

The black‑robed man opened his mouth, but the words stuck in his throat.

He seemed to be making one last struggle.

Yet, in the very next second—

He finally let out a long sigh and lowered his proud head.

“I submit… I submit…”

“My king is mighty, unmatched under heaven… I, am willing to be your slave…”

The humiliating oath was squeezed out from between his teeth.

The once overbearing Lord of the Darknight had at last submitted beneath this man’s feet.

From this day forth, everything of his would lie in the other’s hands.

His life and death, all granted or taken at a word.

Thus, yet another formidable foe now crawled beneath the Vampire King’s throne.

The domain of the Dark Empire was expanding with unstoppable momentum.

“Our Master’s divine might is unrivaled beneath the heavens!”

Richard was the first to shout, his eyes brimming with hot tears.

“With you as our Commander, what is there for us to fear?”

“Beixing, you truly are the king in my heart.”
