Chapter 1225 The black sun rises

"The bigger they are, the harder they fall," Liam grinned, giving a nod to Luna, asking her to stand down.

The One-eyed Behemoth made the first move, unleashing a torrent of nether energy towards them. Liam, with a wave of his hand, summoned a barrier of nether, effortlessly deflecting the attack. The barrier shimmered in the air, its dark energy absorbing and neutralizing the behemoth's assault.

Liam then countered as he started conjuring a massive prison of sorts. He called upon the Dao Seed of Nether Fortress, creating an immense structure of dark, swirling nether energy that enveloped the One-eyed Behemoth. The fortress-like prison was a masterpiece of nether constructs, its walls thick and impregnable, trapping the behemoth within its confines.

The creature roared and pounded against the walls of its prison, but the nether energy only absorbed the impacts, growing denser and more resilient with each strike. Liam watched calmly, his control over the nether energy evident in the precision and stability of the construct.

Taking advantage of the behemoth's confinement, he prepared his next move. He tapped into the dao seed of Nether Binding, summoning chains of condensed nether energy that snaked through the fortress, binding the behemoth's limbs and restricting its movements even further.

The behemoth's roars grew more desperate, but it was firmly caught in Liam's trap. The flow of the battle was in his favor so he was calmly experimenting with his dao seeds.

A powerful vortex of nether energy formed inside the fortress, swirling around the behemoth, creating a maelstrom that sapped its strength and disoriented it further.

Luna, observing from a safe distance, marveled at the display of power. She had always known her master was strong, but witnessing the sheer dominance of his nether abilities filled her with a sense of awe and pride.

Liam slowly took his time and tried the various concepts one after the other. The poor creature almost went through what he had gone through when he received the myriad dao illusions. Except that this time it was a punishment and not a gift.

As the behemoth lay on the scarred ground, panting and black blood seeping out of its mouth, Liam finally put an end to its misery as he choked the beast using spiny nether tendrils.

They wrapped around the behemoth with relentless precision, tightening their grip. The creature's struggles weakened as the life was systematically drained from it. Liam observed this with a detached focus.

The behemoth's massive form shuddered in its final moments, its eye dimming as the life faded from it. With one last surge of nether energy, Liam delivered the finishing blow, the behemoth gasped in relief as it closed its reddened eye.

[Ding! You have obtained Dao seed of Nether Flames]

[Ding! You have leveled up!]

[Ding! You have leveled up!]

[Ding! You have leveled up!]

...

...

Liam checked it and swiped it away when suddenly another notification chimed in, making him freeze in spot, his eyes almost popping out.

[Ding! Congratulations. You have reached level 999]

[Ding! You are the first to arrive at this milestone. You have received the title 'Pioneer of the Realm']

[Ding! You have been granted access to the Spire of Ascension Invitation Token]

He glanced at the token that materialized in his hand. It was a small, intricately designed object, pulsating with a powerful aura.

"This is the... Spire token?" Liam was gobsmacked. This meant that he had really reached level 999? He couldn't believe it. He had given himself a year to achieve this and he was already done?
