Compared to fighting the Titan Ape Void Spirit Guardian, the Undead Nightmare Ethereal Guard's defense was even stronger.
Benefiting from its extremely high magic defense, Li Xiang's magic skills and mixed damage couldn't deal too much damage.
However, this only allowed the Undead Nightmare Ethereal Guard to live a little longer. Compared to the Titan Ape Void Spirit Guardian, it survived for over ten more seconds before falling to Li Xiang.
Ding! You have killed the Platinum BOSS 'Undead Nightmare Ethereal Guard' at a higher level, gaining 568324449 experience points.
Turning it into his Undead subordinate, Li Xiang continued forward.
These Undead who became his subordinates through a Divine-grade ability would not defect because of the outbreak of the Descent War.
Because they were already dead, he had re-granted them new life. Their alignment had changed, and they were in the same alignment as their Master, Li Xiang, and would always follow Li Xiang.
Continue forward.
With two Void Spirit Guardians, the Guardians encountered later were much easier to deal with.
As soon as they saw a Void Spirit Guardian, the Undead Titan Ape Void Spirit Guardian went up and delivered a beating, while the Undead Nightmare Ethereal Guard continuously cast skills from the back. Li Xiang didn't even need to do much to easily resolve the single Void Spirit leader.

Ding! Congratulations on leveling up. Current level: Level 97.
Ding! Level-up reward: Free attribute points +100.
Li Xiang leveled up to Level 97.
There were only the final 3 levels left until Level 100.
According to the extremely high experience points given by these Void Spirit Guardians, he could level up by killing a few more.
Soon, he encountered another Titan Ape Void Spirit Guardian.
Killed.
Golden light fell.
Ding! You have killed the Platinum BOSS 'Titan Ape Void Spirit Guardian' at a higher level, gaining 527816510 experience points.
Ding! Congratulations on leveling up. Current level: Level 98.
Ding! Level-up reward: Free attribute points +100.
Li Xiang's level reached Level 98, only 2 levels away from the maximum Level 100.
His Void Spirit Guardians also increased to 4.
Two melee Titan Ape Void Spirit Guardians, and two ranged magic damage Undead Nightmare Ethereal Guards.
The four Void Spirit Guardians protected Li Xiang like the Four Vajra Kings.
And several hours had passed.
The sky began to darken.
Li Xiang tried to log out of the game, but found that this place was a special environment, and once he exited the game, he would not be able to enter again.
"What a screwed-up setting..."
However, it was fortunate that Li Xiang was using a game pod which came with nutrients, so staying offline for a few days was completely fine, just a bit tiring.
At night, protected by the four Void Spirit Guardians, Li Xiang leaned against a large tree and took a short nap.
...
Opening his eyes, it was already late at night in the game.
The mountain range was extremely dark and deep; nothing could be seen.
The four Void Spirit Guardians vigilantly watched their surroundings.
Even they had opponents within this Dragon Vein.
Void Spirit Guardians are the Guardians of the Dragon Vein.
Conversely, there were existences that wanted to destroy the Dragon Vein.
Those existences were the main targets the Void Spirit Guardians dealt with.
Night Demon!
They belonged to the Demon Seed, but were different from Demons and the Demon Clan. They were a special independent race that resided in some parts of the Dragon Vein, battling wits and courage with the Void Spirit Guardians, absorbing the Dragon Vein's dragon energy.
No longer sleeping, Li Xiang led the four Void Spirit Guardians to continue forward and explore.
...
Half an hour later.
An Undead Nightmare Ethereal Guard directly launched an attack towards a distant bush.
The bush instantly turned into ashes, and a black shadow floated out from it.
"Master, it's a Night Demon!"
Li Xiang immediately checked its attributes.
【LV100. Night Demon】
Quality: Platinum BOSS
HP: 46479130
Physical Attack: 392307~392482
Magic Attack: 448902~449078
Physical Defense: 223200
Magic Defense: 287428
【Evaluation: Born in the Dragon Vein Land of the Dragon Flame Empire, coveting the power of the Dragon Vein, and fleeing everywhere under the pursuit of the Void Spirit Guardians.】
After seeing the Night Demon's attributes, Li Xiang was stunned.
This guy's terrifying attributes were even stronger than the Void Spirit Guardians. Just looking at the attributes, it could completely crush the Void Spirit Guardians.
However...
Is there only one of them?!
The four Void Spirit Guardians immediately all attacked.
Although the Night Demon's attributes were strong, there was only one. Facing the attacks of the four Void Spirit Guardians, it couldn't fight at all and directly fled.
How could Li Xiang let it go? He immediately chased after it.
But there was a reason the Night Demon was called by this name.
At night, its speed was extremely fast, completely blending into the night, making it impossible to detect.
Only these Void Spirit Guardians, who battled wits and courage with the Night Demon, could detect it and continuously chased after it.
After chasing for most of the night, the Night Demon finally stopped.
It wasn't because it couldn't run anymore, but because dawn broke.
As sunlight shone on its body, its figure directly disappeared.
Li Xiang walked to the place where it disappeared and confirmed that it had vanished, leaving no trace behind.
The Undead Void Spirit Guardian explained, "The Night Demon is born at night and disappears when dawn breaks."
Disappears when dawn breaks...
What a magical Monster...
No longer pursuing the Night Demon, Li Xiang and the four Guardians began a new day of searching.
It was already the second day.
Unable to get information from the outside world here, each day dragged on was very disadvantageous for himself.
There were still many people waiting for him.
...
Half a day passed.
Still, there was no trace of the Evil Dragon. Another Undead Void Spirit Guardian was added, reaching five in total.
...
A day passed.
It was night again.
Li Xiang became a bit anxious.
The second day was about to pass.
Still no sign of the Evil Dragon...
That night, Li Xiang did not rest again, but continuously explored with the five Void Spirit Guardians.
The entire Dragon Vein area was extremely vast. With this method of exploration, it might not be fully explored even in a few months!
Late at night, the Night Demon appeared again.
This time, there were five Undead Void Spirit Guardians, three of which were Undead Nightmare Ethereal Guards. Together, they restrained the Night Demon.
Li Xiang prepared to kill it.
The Night Demon suddenly spoke, "Human Clan kid... you came here to find the Demon Dragon, right?"
Li Xiang looked at it, "You know where the Demon Dragon is?"
"Of course I know... I am born of the night. At night, I know everything here."
"Take me there, and I won't kill you."
"No... you have to kill me to find it."
Li Xiang watched it in silence.
It suddenly became excited, "We Night Demon race were born here, and we can only survive by absorbing the pure power of the Dragon Vein.
But... that Demon Dragon's recent consumption is getting larger and larger, and its demonized aura is eroding the Dragon Vein. Among us Night Demons, there have already been clansmen who withered and died because they lacked pure Dragon Vein power."
If you kill me, you can obtain the Night Demon's ability, and you will be able to sense the presence of that Demon Dragon."
Li Xiang hesitated, "You have sensing ability, can't you just take me there?"
The Night Demon denied, "The Demon Dragon is an existence comparable to a Demigod... The power of a God is not something creatures below the Gods like us can glimpse."
I cannot take you there, because once I have the thought of approaching it, I will be crushed by its power.
Kill me... let me become a part of your power..."
"Why me? If I remember correctly, that Night Demon yesterday was also you, right?"
"Yes... I've been observing you for the past two days. You are the most hopeful being to kill that Demon Dragon in the past hundred years."
"I'm not even a Title Holder."
"But on your hands is the blood of Title Holders... We Night Demons are extremely sensitive to aura. Your aura is extremely powerful; ordinary Title Holders are not your match."
"Alright, I will kill you, and I will kill it."
"Thank you."
Li Xiang made his move.
Ding! You have killed the Platinum BOSS 'Night Demon' at a higher level, gaining 487328210 experience points.
Ding! Congratulations on leveling up. Current level: Level 99.
Ding! Level-up reward: Free attribute points +100.
【Ding! You have obtained the special ability 'Night Spirit Medium'.】
