Chapter 260

Above the treasure chest was a rune seal as well!

【Tread the Void】!

Without hesitation, Luo Chenyu activated the 【Tread the Void】 skill and walked over.

He peeled back the black seal and opened the treasure chest.

Inside was the torso of the Dwarf King, a large hole torn through his chest—his heart had vanished!

Luo Chenyu picked up the Dwarf King's torso and walked back.

He took the heart from the 【Steel Shield True Form】 and pressed it into the hole.

"Human youth… you… you put it in backward…"

The Dwarf King's voice came, flat with disbelief.

Luo Chenyu scratched his head, embarrassed, and muttered apologetically: "Sorry! Sorry!"

Then…

Luo Chenyu yanked the heart out again, flipped it around, and shoved it back in.

The Dwarf King: "…"

Good grief, only because he was a divine body could he survive such treatment—he'd be dead long ago otherwise!

"Elder, where are your other parts?"

As long as I'm not embarrassed, no one else will be!

Luo Chenyu asked first, shifting the focus away.

The Dwarf King did not answer Luo Chenyu's question, but focused entirely on repairing his body.

Suddenly, the torso erupted in a brilliant crimson-gold light; countless energies converged, wrapping the crimson heart.

Thud!

Thud!

The heart throbbed like a massive drum, its thunderous beats reviving the dried blood within the body, turning it into a surging river…

Long moments passed!

"Human youth, thank you!"

The Dwarf King's voice came, jolting Luo Chenyu from his shock.

"No need to thank me—we're allies, it's what I should do!"

"Hehe… so you're also in the 【Eternal Arena】…"

At these words, Luo Chenyu froze.

How did the Dwarf King know about this?

Was the word "ally" really that powerful?

Or was it…

Something else?

For a moment, he was utterly baffled!

"It seems you're not very familiar with this. Once I'm resurrected, I'll tell you everything I know!"

"Alright!"

Luo Chenyu nodded and asked again: "Elder, where are your other parts?"

The Dwarf King: "…"

What do you mean by "parts"?

Making me sound like a mechanical golem.

"To the north lies a Dark Forest…"

"Understood! I'll set out at once!"

Luo Chenyu nodded, picked up the Dwarf King's torso, and strode off.

As he walked…

He opened his backpack space and checked the Red Dragon Boss's drops.

Not much—only one item.

【Absolute Damage Essence】

Quality: SSS

Type: Special Items

Effect: After use, each attack deals absolute damage equal to 10% of your Strength.

Limit: This type of item can only be used once, permanently!

…

Luo Chenyu was overjoyed.

He hadn't expected such a devastating essence—one that added absolute damage.

His Strength was now over 20,000; each attack now dealt 2,000 absolute damage.

It seemed small.

But it was enough to bypass life-lock, invincibility shields, and other survival skills!

At least it would kill most who clung to their last sliver of health…

For him, it was useless.

Just from the 【Absolute Damage Essence】, his journey into the Dragon Abyss was already worth it!

………………

"The second phase mission still has 8 targets left — looks like it'll be done soon."

At this moment.

More than two hours had passed since Luo Chenyu arrived at the Sky Ridge Archipelago, which meant there were still over ten hours before leaving the Demonic Dragon Abyss.

The mission progress was absolutely lightning fast.

Before his eyes, the environment had completely changed.

The scene of lava everywhere had vanished, replaced by a boundless tangle of trees.

All manner of bizarrely shaped monstrous trees stood in every direction.

A roar rang out.

Luo Chenyu's eyes immediately lit up.

A demonic dragon had appeared again!

Honestly, the number of monsters in the Demonic Dragon Abyss really wasn't much — at least not in the lava lands.

All the way down.

His shield value kept stacking, and now it had once again broken through the Tier 2 mark of five hundred million.

When fighting monsters, he was ferociously powerful!

Before him, three dark-green terrestrial dragons were attacking each other, each one looking completely different.

It seemed…

The crossbred elements were rather plentiful.

Moreover, not far from the three terrestrial dragons, a group of similar terrestrial dragons was prowling about.

"Heh heh — finally I can farm properly. Wonder if these terrestrial dragons count as second-phase mission targets!"

As he muttered.

Luo Chenyu's figure shot forward at top speed.

Upon entering the 150-meter range, he directly activated 【Savage Charge】.

Boom!!

Terrifying damage popped up, and following up with the 【Hegemon of Heaven】 skill, the terrifying damage instantly killed the three terrestrial dragons.

"Ding, you have slain the Lv. 90 special elite monster 【Demonic · Green Dragon Descendant · Unicorn Dragon】, gaining 223,000 experience points!"

……

"Ding, you have slain the Lv. 90 special elite monster 【Demonic · Green Dragon Descendant · Spiked Dragon】, gaining 223,000 experience points!"

……

"This… not bad!"

Luo Chenyu was briefly stunned, then nodded, a smile spreading across his face.
