In the otherworld, adventurers can achieve flight through certain special means.
For example: by relying on flying-type pets like the Armageddon Black Dragon, or through temporary flying-type items.
But all of these flight methods rely on external power. And according to the system settings, when adventurers use external power to fly, they cannot launch attacks while in the air.
Reasonable rules exist for a reason.
This setting was made to prevent ranged attackers from using their flight advantage to keep distance from melee professions on the ground and "kite" them endlessly.
Because of that, even though Zhang Yue had long possessed the ability to ride the Armageddon Black Dragon and fly through the skies, every time he wanted to attack, he had to dismount and fight from the ground.
But now, the Angel Wings had completely fused with Zhang Yue.
Flying with the Angel Wings was not restricted by the rule that forbade attacking while airborne.
At this moment, waring a 47-Star Flowing Gold-class Transcendent Set glowing with golden light, golden dragons flowing along his body, and three pairs of radiant golden wings on his back, the figure Zhang Yue presented in everyone's eyes was indescribably grand and awe-inspiring, like a divine being beyond reach, a creator god standing above all.
📍 Golden MC
Even Chen Zijin, looking up at him, couldn't help but feel a deep and irresistible admiration rise within her heart.
She thought: 'He's just too handsome!'
This aura, even Ghost Swordsman Elfa and Frost King Kwon Jihyun would feel ashamed before it.
Zhang Yue soared high above using his Angel Wings, overlooking the Demon Emperor, Yu, on the ground.
A fierce fighting spirit surged within his body.
At the same time, the Demon Emperor, too, was preparing for a blood-soaked battle against Zhang Yue.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Planting his long sword into the ground, the Demon Emperor infused it with a massive surge of magic power.
The next instant, high above, within Zhang Yue's surrounding domain, eight light curtains suddenly materialized one after another.
Immediately afterward, countless golden sword shadows shot out from within those curtains, forming a massive storm that encircled Zhang Yue from all directions.
The Demon Emperor had clearly gone all-out, intending to finish Zhang Yue in a single strike.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The powerful storm howled around Zhang Yue with the might to swallow the heavens and destroy the earth, as if ready to consume him at any moment.
At that moment, both sky and land trembled.
Even the countless viewers across nations in the live-stream felt their chests tighten and their breath grow shallow, an inescapable sense of suffocation gripping them.
In the midst of the storm, where daylight could barely penetrate, Zhang Yue remained calm and composed.
Then a voice sounded in his ear, Ouyang Linger's, ["You can't dodge this attack, and even the Angel Wings can't block all of the damage."]
["But I've calculated based on the Demon Emperor's output and your Void Shield value. You can withstand up to 50 hits. As long as you keep total hits under 50, you'll survive this assault."]
["Don't worry, your survival chance is over 90%! Don't be afraid!"]
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Yue responded calmly, ["Who told you I was afraid?"]
No sooner had his words fallen—
SHHH! SHHH! SHHH! SHHH!
Under the Demon Emperor's command, uncountable sword shadows from every direction pierced toward Zhang Yue.
The sky dimmed, the earth darkened.
In the eyes of all watching from the outside world, there was only a boundless storm devouring everything in its path.
Even divine radiance dimmed at that instant.
Everyone watching was tense beyond words.
["What an insane attack!"]
["This skill from the Demon Emperor, it's like triggering a Tier 6 Beast Tide! Way too terrifying!"]
["Zero… can he really withstand that strike?"]
The audience was filled with worry, while the Demon Emperor stood full of confidence.
In his eyes, this all-out strike was enough to instantly kill Zhang Yue.
Ten full seconds passed.
All the sword shadows completed their assault and slowly faded away.
When the last one vanished, a massive cloud of smoke shrouded the entire sky.
For a moment, the entire world fell silent.
Whether on the battlefield or watching the stream, everyone's attention fixed on that smoke.
Time passed, still no movement from within.
On the ground, the Demon Emperor pulled his sword free from the earth, not even bothering to look up.
Shing!
He planted the blade lightly and said with disdain,
"Pathetic."
It was as if he had already declared Zhang Yue dead.
The battle was over.
The Demon Emperor held his sword, turning away, about to leave in arrogance–
But then, high above, the smoke scattered.
And there, within a cluster of dark-golden wings shielding him, Zhang Yue.
With a single whoosh, his Angel Wings unfurled wide once again, appearing before everyone's eyes, completely unharmed.
His HP bar above his head was still full, even more, several layers of Void Shield shimmered faintly around him.
The Demon Emperor froze, then turned his head upward.
When his eyes caught sight of the unscathed Zhang Yue, a flicker of disbelief crossed his gaze.
"What?"
Floating in the air, Zhang Yue looked down calmly and said,
"You still underestimate your opponent, just like a hundred years ago."
"Times have changed. Only you remain still."
The Demon Emperor knew full well that the Angel Wings could boost the bearer's defense by a hundredfold.
But he had believed, even with Zhang Yue's stats increased that much, it was impossible for him to withstand his full-force attack.
He had still underestimated his opponent.
Within the frontal protection range of the Angel Wings, most of the sword shadows' attacks had been completely blocked.
Only a few from behind had landed.
But as Ouyang Linger's calculations predicted, the numbers were nearly identical. Under the Void Shield's protection, the remaining strikes weren't nearly enough to deal fatal damage.
Zhang Yue didn't say another word.
He launched his counterattack directly.
Third Technique, Arcane Secret Art: Thunder Summoning!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Under the power of the forbidden spell Thunder Summoning, with no cooldown or casting delay buffs, Zhang Yue unleashed several lightning-based skills in a single second, all targeting the Demon Emperor.
The Demon Emperor raised his left hand, summoning a magic shield to block.
But in the next instant, Zhang Yue's Fatal Lock activated automatically.
Shing! Shing! Shing! Shing!
Chains wreathed in lightning shot forward at blinding speed toward the Demon Emperor.
After all, this was a super boss. One foot already stepping into the Emperor Tier.
The Demon Emperor's consciousness and strength far surpassed the Three Main Gods, exceeding the limits of human understanding of otherworldly bosses.
Even Zhang Yue's ferocious assault could not so easily suppress him.
With swift, precise swings of his sword, the Demon Emperor deflected every strike from the Fatal Lock.
Crash!
The sword struck the ground, a surge of blinding swordlight erupted upward, sweeping violently toward Zhang Yue.
But under the precise pursuit of the Fatal Lock, those swordlights never even got the chance to approach, each one shattered midair.
