Chapter 278

The thousand-legged ghost centipede, though deeply reluctant, obediently encircled Long Zhiwang, exerting maximum control.

Luo Chenyu did not use 【Barbaric Charge】.

Instead, he activated 【Leap】, flashing to the spot beneath Long Zhiwang's reverse scale.

Black Dragon Battle Body!

Abyss Battle Body!

Carnage!

The strongest normal attack mode.

The spiked club shimmered like a phantom, sparks flying.

Unexpectedly… nothing happened.

Under Luo Chenyu's frenzied assault, Long Zhiwang had no chance to resist and was directly smashed to death.

When Luo Chenyu's level-up notification appeared, he finally exhaled in relief.

"Ding, you have slain the Level 150 Special Boss 【Long Zhiwang】, gaining 175 million experience points!"

"Ding, your level has increased by 1, current level LV. 58!"

"Ding, you have completely shattered Long Zhiwang's lair. Do you wish to consume three 【Long Zhiwang Treasure Barrier Tokens】 to synthesize a 【Long Zhiwang Treasure Barrier Token】 and open Long Zhiwang's Treasure?"

"々｀ Ding, you have completed the objective of 【Long Zhiwang Trial (VI)】, gaining +5 Long Zhiwang Treasure Barrier Tokens and +1 【Rage Mode】!"

"Ding, do you accept the final trial of 【Long Zhiwang Trial】?"

Luo Chenyu pondered for a moment but did not immediately choose to open Long Zhiwang's Treasure.

He also did not respond to the final trial of 【Long Zhiwang Trial】.

Instead, he collected Long Zhiwang's Dropped Items and fixed his gaze on the massive thousand-legged ghost centipede beside him!

The matter was not yet fully settled!

"Big bug, are you a contestant of 【Eternal Arena】?"

Luo Chenyu was actually a little afraid, though the thousand-legged ghost centipede before him was a summon and certainly not its true body.

But…

What if killing this avatar triggered punishment from 【Eternal Sacred Domain】? That would be tragic.

So…

He decided to test the waters first.

The thousand-legged ghost centipede's grotesque face twisted into a human-like sneer.

"Bear, are you scared?"

"Scared? Of course I'm scared—scared that your insect clan's spawn and offspring will be slaughtered one by one by me in mortal combat, leading to your entire insect race's extinction. That's a massive karmic debt."

"You, a mere iron-tier ant, dare to threaten us?"

At these words, Luo Chenyu's heart sank halfway.

This was truly a contestant of 【Eternal Arena】—for a moment, he hesitated.

To risk himself for a Tier 9 Dropped Item…

Was this…

Worth it?

As Luo Chenyu hesitated, the voice of the Dwarf King echoed in his ear.

"Kill it. It's just an avatar—no punishment will follow!"

Luo Chenyu smiled.

He immediately activated 【Barbaric Charge】, stunning the thousand-legged ghost centipede.

Then—

He unleashed a frenzy of attacks!

Health-lock, invincibility—useless against Tier 9 absolute damage.

The thousand-legged ghost centipede, dead!

"Ding, you have slain the Level 170 Special Boss 【Thousand-Legged Ghost Centipede (Summon)】, gaining 215 million experience points!"

"Ding, your level has increased by 1, current level LV. 59!"

"Ding, by slaying a summon, you have incurred the enmity of the 【Thousand-Legged Ghost Centipede】's true body—encounter means mortal strife!"

"Ding, by slaying a summon, you may randomly obtain only one Dropped Item from 【Thousand-Legged Ghost Centipede (Summon)】!"

"Ding, you have obtained (Qian Nuohao) 【Ghost Domain Secret Realm Teleport Token】 +1!"

…

After absorbing the Dragon Essence from Long Zhiwang, Luo Chenyu sat atop the skeleton and opened his inventory to check the Dropped Items.

The first item made him gasp.

【Eye of Long Zhiwang】

Quality: SSS Rank

Type: Special Items

Restriction: Level 50 (Third Transformation)

Effect: Upon use, activates the unique universal skill Eye of Long Zhiwang—this skill is not subject to skill slot limits.

…

What are you waiting for?

Use it immediately!

A skill with no slot limit—its value is beyond imagination, priceless and untradeable!

"Ding! You have obtained the unique universal skill 【Dragon Demon Eye】, current level LV. 1!"

But at this moment.

Luo Chenyu's eyes suddenly emitted a sliver of eerie Jin Guang, and before him, the world shifted into a gray, hazy space.

In the endless gray, a single eye suddenly opened.

Its appearance…

Was somewhat like his own eye?

The Jin Guang poured forth from this eye, instantly transforming into chains of gold that bound a black dragon, pulling it relentlessly inward.

A mournful roar of the great dragon echoed.

The black dragon could not resist the chains' binding and tugging, and finally vanished into the eye.

Immediately…

The eye slowly closed.

Luo Chenyu's vision likewise withdrew from the gray, hazy space.

【Prompt: Your unique ability 【Eye of Insight】 has consumed your skill 【Dragon Demon Eye】. Mutation successful. It has become a mutated skill, gaining additional effects!】

"Mutation of Eye of Insight?"

Murmuring, Luo Chenyu opened his skill panel and indeed found the new skill listed there.

【Eye of Insight】: Passive mutated skill. Can view all information of Tier 9 and below, with a chance to reveal hidden information. No cooldown. Cannot be detected by targets.

Additional effect: Primary Long Wei, active effect. Reduces all attributes of targets within a certain range by 20% (including Gao Jie attributes), and inflicts states such as "Confusion," "Flee," and "Terror," lasting 60 seconds, cooldown 300 seconds.

………………tool.
