Broad-Eyed Heaven was coiled with serpentine phantoms, his fists clenched. He slammed them onto the ground, sending invisible waves of force splashing outwards as he roared in fury:
"Stubborn fool! Fall into the eternal depths of Broad-Eyed Heaven's gaze!"
Grind, grind…
The serpentine phantoms swirled, and a single, vertically slitted, brownish-yellow eye appeared above Broad-Eyed Heaven's head. Its chilling gaze, devoid of emotion, fixed on Tang Zheng.
In that instant.
Tang Zheng's heart involuntarily pounded. A potent sense of crisis surged into his mind, a palpable aura of death.
It's an instant-death effect ability!
"Impure Impact Shield!"
Tang Zheng's eyes sharpened. He lowered his body, activating the Valkyrie's class skill.
A crimson-black shockwave, like flowing blood, radiated outwards from Tang Zheng, forming a barrier-like circle.
The ability the opponent unleashed was directly nullified!
The "Impure Impact Shield" was an integrated offense and defense skill, capable of nullifying any attack or effect. Its utility was extremely high, but unfortunately, it could only be used twice a day.
Tang Zheng generally kept it as one of his trump cards, just below his ultimate moves.
However, to counter "instant-death effects," he also possessed the "Death Guardian Armlet," a magic item that could provide resistance.
But still.
Tang Zheng could feel the intense danger. The skill unleashed by the serpentine eye above Broad-Eyed Heaven's head likely contained more than just an instant-death effect.
In "YGGDRASIL," countermeasures against instant death were a standard part of any player's loadout. As a boss derived from a World-Class Item, This type of skill, which clearly looked like a major attack, had a higher probability of possessing other effects!
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
High above, piercing roars suddenly echoed.
The Crimson Flood Dragon Serpent and the Azure Flood Dragon, both monsters at level 80, broke free from the entanglement of numerous Angels and charged headlong towards Broad-Eyed Heaven from the sky.
Two streaks of crimson and azure descended rapidly!
In the blink of an eye.
The two flood dragons, each with a single horn on its head and feathered wings, appeared on the left and right sides behind Broad-Eyed Heaven.
"Hiss~"
The serpentine magic item coiled around Broad-Eyed Heaven's shoulder twitched in its belly and opened its mouth again.
A small snake flew out, rapidly expanding in mid-air and transforming into a flood dragon with black scales.
In mere moments.
Broad-Eyed Heaven, clad in purple-gold scale armor and entwined with serpentine phantoms, now had three level 80 flood dragon monsters swirling behind him.
His massive, over five-meter-tall frame, coupled with his pair of glowing red eyes, made Broad-Eyed Heaven appear incredibly ferocious and terrifying!
He summoned another level 80 monster!
Tang Zheng's lips twitched slightly. His gaze forward remained calm; he wasn't overly surprised or panicked.
He had already made a prediction: once Broad-Eyed Heaven's HP dropped below 80%, he would summon a level 80 monster for every subsequent 20% HP decrease.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Sacred figures descended from the sky, one after another, hovering above Tang Zheng's head.
Of the more than 400 Angels summoned by the two "Final War (Good)" instances, only a dozen or so remained. The rest had all been destroyed.
The remaining Angels were naturally the highest level ones: two level 70 Angels, four level 60 Angels, and eight level 50 Angels.
"Serpent Swarm!"
Broad-Eyed Heaven raised both arms high, and a massive magic circle appeared before him.
The next moment.
"Hiss!"
"Hiss!"
Eight level 50 giant crimson pythons crawled out of the magic circle, opening their massive maws and hissing.
Tang Zheng's eyes narrowed: "This magic has also been enhanced."
In the beginning, this Magic Caster could only summon 4 giant pythons, then 6, and now it had increased to 8!
On the ground.
Tang Zheng and Broad-Eyed Heaven stood facing each other, numerous summoned creatures hovering before each of them, creating a stunning and powerful spectacle.
Hiss—Hiss—
Snap—Snap—
The hissing of retracting snake tongues and the beating of angel wings clashed in the air between the two sides!
"Three level 80 Demon Creatures, eight level 50 giant pythons, plus support-type summoning methods..."
Tang Zheng grinned, raising Pain of Ice Fang in his hand, his calm eyes holding a hint of composure.
Good thing I'm not a pure Warrior or Magic-type Player!
Just this level and quantity of Demon Creatures would require a hundred-level Player to expend quite a few skills to clear.
Not to mention, both Heavenly Kings have corresponding buffs specifically designed to counter Warriors or Magic-type Players!
"Facing three level 80 Demon Creatures is indeed troublesome, but as long as I eliminate you, the Summoner Heavenly King, before these angels are completely destroyed, it will be enough."
Tang Zheng's peripheral vision flickered towards another battlefield. Heroic Spirit Soul was already in a precarious disadvantage.
Fortunately.
Relying on the boost from Dragon Lord Form and the Dragon Lord's innate flight ability, he could barely keep Growth Heaven occupied.
A smile touched Tang Zheng's face as he waved his arm towards the ground. "I've gathered enough intel. It's time to end the battle over here."
The angels hovering overhead flew out simultaneously!
The signal for battle was ignited.
Boom—Boom!
Two level 70 angels faced the Crimson Flood Dragon Serpent and the Azure Flood Dragon respectively, while four level 60 angels simultaneously blocked the newly summoned Black Flood Dragon Serpent!
Eight level 50 angels went up against eight level 50 crimson giant pythons!
The moment the two sides made contact!
A fierce collision instantly echoed through the sky.
In terms of the strength of their summoned creatures, his side was clearly at a disadvantage. In fact, Tang Zheng could have used normal Summoning Magic to summon three more level 64 summoned creatures.
With their addition, those eight level 50 crimson giant pythons could be quickly eliminated, and the remaining angels could unite to fight the three flood dragon serpents.
But he didn't choose to do so.
Firstly, to conserve Mana.
Secondly, Tang Zheng had long noticed that the creatures summoned by Broad-Eyed Heaven, whether destroyed or not, produced some kind of effect.
Just in case.
Tang Zheng only needed the angels to hold off these creatures, allowing him to directly engage Broad-Eyed Heaven, the Summoner.
「Teleportation」
The space around Tang Zheng contracted, and he vanished from his spot, reappearing in Broad-Eyed Heaven's blind spot behind him:
"Magic Resistance Breakthrough: Chain Earth Dragon!"
Rock in the shape of a brown dragon broke through the air and violently impacted Broad-Eyed Heaven's back.
Bang!
Broad-Eyed Heaven (15%) stumbled forward. His red-glowing eyes turned back in fury, and a golden light emanated from his body.
"Hiss... Roar!"
The three flood dragon serpents and the eight crimson giant pythons simultaneously tried to return to Broad-Eyed Heaven's position, but were immediately blocked by all the angels.
"The damage from magic has been reduced. Is it that serpentine phantom wrapped around Broad-Eyed Heaven that increased its defense?"
Tang Zheng noticed the abnormal reduction in HP and continued to cast magic with an expressionless face:
"Magic Resistance Breakthrough: Chain Earth Dragon!"
Another attack!
Broad-Eyed Heaven was injured again. He seemed to realize that his summoned creatures could not return to the situation. While retreating to create distance, he also activated a skill:
"Serpent Fang Barrage!"
Twelve snake fangs, as thick as arms, condensed in mid-air and rapidly shot towards Tang Zheng.
「Teleportation」
Tang Zheng used Teleportation to dodge. After reappearing, he continued to use magic attacks:
"Magic Resistance Breakthrough: Chain Earth Dragon!"
Broad-Eyed Heaven, with only about 10% of his HP remaining, was gradually worn down by Tang Zheng's magic. Without the protection of his summoned creatures.
His HP dropped further!
Next.
Tang Zheng did not choose to engage in close combat or try to disarm the opponent. Instead, he continued to use magic to wear him down, ensuring that the opponent wouldn't unleash any major moves before death, guaranteeing safety.
As for Broad-Eyed Heaven's skill attacks.
He used 「Teleportation」 for those he could dodge, and 「Skeleton Wall」 for those he couldn't.
With continuous bombardment of earth-attribute magic!
Broad-Eyed Heaven's HP finally dropped to 0%, its furious expression fading as its glowing red eyes returned to normal.
"All obstacles be shattered."
Broad-Eyed Heaven's body trembled, the golden light on its form dissipating. Its face softened with compassion, and it clasped its hands together at its chest. The faint sound of a wooden fish striking echoed:
"Whatever is sought is but vanity. All that you do shall lead to Buddhahood!"
—Crack.
Broad-Eyed Heaven shattered like glass, cracks spreading across its body as it dissolved into golden light and vanished into the air. Along with it, the serpent Demon Creatures it had summoned also disappeared.
"We won!"
Tang Zheng took a deep breath and looked up towards another direction in the sky. "The last Heavenly King, Growth Heaven!"
[HP: 1125/1125 · MP: 312/918]
He glanced at his status panel.
His Mana had once again dropped below half.
"The cooldown is over. Ninjutsu: Shadow Clone Technique," Tang Zheng uttered a low command.
His shadow writhed.
A Shadow Clone emerged from the shadow, standing beside Tang Zheng.
Boom… Crack!
Heroic Spirit Soul and Growth Heaven crossed paths in the air. Their crimson red armor and Flame Sword collided, shedding numerous fragments.
Before they could even land, these armor fragments dissolved into foam in mid-air!
Whoosh—
Heroic Spirit Soul flapped its dragon wings, descending rapidly. Its membranous wings sliced through the air, emitting a piercing, ear-splitting sound.
The damaged armor covering its entire body, as it rubbed against the air, left an irregularly shaped hurricane channel in its wake!
Bang! Bang!
Heroic Spirit Soul flew back towards Tang Zheng at full speed, while Growth Heaven, wielding a giant sword burning with flames, pursued closely behind.
As Tang Zheng watched the two figures in the sky grow closer, he immediately issued a command to the remaining Angels to intercept.
Pairs of holy wings flapped as they charged into the sky, taking Heroic Spirit Soul's place and blocking Growth Heaven.
"Slash Greed!"
"Slash Anger!"
"Slash Ignorance!"
Golden slashes streaked across the sky. The Angels, whose remaining HP was already low, couldn't withstand the onslaught and turned into light particles, dissipating in mid-air!
Growth Heaven, clad in crimson and gold armor, with a fist-sized Eagle Aspect totem floating above its head, brandished its giant Flame Sword and looked down majestically at the three figures below.
Heroic Spirit Soul hovered in the air to Tang Zheng's left, while the Shadow Clone stood on the ground to his right.
"The current situation is one against three!"
Tang Zheng looked up at Growth Heaven in the sky, a flicker of fervor and excitement in his eyes.
With only the last Heavenly King remaining, defeating him would grant the World-Class Item [Two Worlds Mandala].
Swish~
Heroic Spirit Soul descended a certain distance first, letting its long, thick dragon tail hang down, nearing Tang Zheng's side.
"Enlarge!"
Tang Zheng raised his left arm and touched the dragon tail, activating the skill.
Heroic Spirit Soul's size suddenly expanded. Its already massive form, which was over 20 meters, doubled in size to over 40 meters.
"Enlarge" can be used on oneself or allies, doubling the user's size and increasing Physical Attack by 100.
The Shadow Clone brought its hands together at its chest and activated a skill at the same moment: "Ninjutsu: Immobile Binding Technique!"
Growth Heaven's charge was halted, its body instantly stiffening in place.
"Teleport!"
"Shadow Assault!"
Tang Zheng activated Teleport Magic, appearing out of nowhere in front of Growth Heaven.
Heroic Spirit Soul, using a skill from its [Flesh Armament], appeared beside Growth Heaven immediately after.
"Four Light Consecutive Slash · Shatter!"
Tang Zheng roared, [Pain of Ice Fang] blooming with a brilliant white light in the air. The slash struck Growth Heaven's hand, which held the Flame Sword.
The powerful attack landed.
Growth Heaven's hand involuntarily loosened its grip on the giant Flame Sword.
"Now!"
Tang Zheng's eyes lit up. He gripped the Pain of Ice Fang in both hands and quickly activated his Martial Arts:
"Ability Enhancement!"
"Ability Super-Enhancement!"
"Battle Aura Concentration!"
"Four Light Consecutive Slash: Break Through!"
At the same moment, the Heroic Spirit Soul raised its two dragon claws. Their sharp tips glinted in the air as it swung them down heavily.
BOOM!
The two attacks landed. Centered on the three of them, an astonishing wave of energy surged skyward. Growth Heaven (39%) was forcefully sent flying.
Tang Zheng controlled his Shadow Clone and the Heroic Spirit Soul, unleashing a full-power combined attack. In one go, they shaved off 19% of Growth Heaven's HP.
SWISH!
As the 3 seconds passed.
The fallen greatsword of flame reappeared in Growth Heaven's hand.
"Slash, slash, slash!"
Growth Heaven's face contorted in rage. A tiger's roar echoed above his head, adding a tiger aspect to the existing eagle aspect totem.
"Wrath Aspect: Karma Slash!"
He swung the greatsword of flame.
A massive slash, a fusion of golden and red hues, was unleashed, flying towards Tang Zheng's location.
"Ninjutsu: Immovable Adamantine Shield!"
The Shadow Clone activated a defensive Ninjutsu, forming a golden shield in front of Tang Zheng.
CRACKLE!
The golden shield collided with the slash. It held for only a moment before shattering on the spot.
Tang Zheng's eyes widened in shock. The Ninjutsu activated by the Shadow Clone had consumed 50 Mana, equivalent to a Tier 10 defensive magic, yet it hadn't blocked this attack.
"It's not pure physical damage!"
This thought flashed through Tang Zheng's mind. Seeing the slash flying towards him, he thought, "Silent Magic: Teleport!"
His figure vanished.
However...
The Heroic Spirit Soul, in its massive Dragon Lord Form, was right beside Tang Zheng. He could dodge, but the Heroic Spirit Soul could not.
BOOM!
The Heroic Spirit Soul's long neck was unnaturally raised. Its heavily damaged Flesh Armament on its chest suffered another critical blow. The massive figure plummeted from the sky, emitting a thunderous roar.
"Wrath Aspect: Greed!"
A flash of red light enveloped Growth Heaven's body. He transformed into a streak of light, leaving an afterimage at his original position, and rapidly charged towards Tang Zheng.
"Wrath Aspect: Anger!"
He raised the giant flame sword high and brought it down heavily on Tang Zheng from the air.
"Unfalling Fortress!" Tang Zheng countered with an upward slash.
The two weapons clashed. Instead of the usual loud clang of colliding weapons, it was as if an invisible force was nullifying Growth Heaven's attack.
Tang Zheng's pupils suddenly constricted. He realized that Growth Heaven's assault hadn't stopped:
"It's a combo!"
WHOOSH!
Growth Heaven raised the greatsword of flame in his hand, followed by a continuous barrage of ferocious slashes. Sword shadows filled the air, engulfing Tang Zheng.
"Mind's Eye!"
Tang Zheng's gaze sharpened, and he rapidly dodged amidst the relentless attacks.
