Chapter 423

They appeared to be led by the 【Palace of Gods】, but in truth, this was also their plan—one of the Sea God's schemes!

Unfortunately, everything was ruined by that human.

He had long wished to tear Luo Chenyu into a thousand pieces.

Hearing news of Luo Chenyu from the Water Dragon·You'er, he immediately became interested.

"Forbidden Divine Dragon bloodline?"

"Yes—not the bloodline of ordinary dragons, but the forbidden Divine Dragon aura from a higher world, an aura that makes my entire body tremble. Had I not been born with extraordinary talent and an uncanny sensitivity to souls, I might never have detected it!!"

Water Dragon·You'er spoke rapidly, his tone brimming with shock.

That aura truly filled it with deep, heartfelt fear.

The Divine Messenger slowly rose, a flicker of crimson passing through its emerald eyes. "Tell me—what happened?"

"My avatar was chosen to guard a new dungeon, and just as I encountered Luo Chenyu, he stood there—and I felt as if the entire sky were collapsing, as if my very soul were freezing solid. That… that was the pressure of a superior being!"

"Jie jie jie… fascinating!!"

The Divine Messenger suddenly burst into mad laughter, a reckless plan forming in its mind.

"You'er, there is a task for you."

"My lord, speak—speak… as long as it doesn't involve facing Luo Chenyu, anything!"

The Divine Messenger: "…"

Such a cowardly dragon—I've never seen the like.

Yet, Water Dragon·You'er's strength is still formidable, and the Sea God's Palace needs such combat power.

"Go on a journey…"

Inside the 【Sea God Labyrinth】 dungeon.

As the countdown ended, the hidden boss finally revealed its true form.

The Deepsea Fisherman clan.

A massive shark's head, a powerful body, and a fearsome iron hammer in hand.

It looked mighty and imposing.

"Luo Chenyu, die!!"

With the hidden boss's appearance, a low voice rang out, and waves of water spontaneously surged toward Luo Chenyu.

"Damn it, I've really become famous!"

Luo Chenyu was speechless—now, every dungeon he entered, every Gao Jie boss, knew his name and looked at him with hatred.

This feeling…

Come to think of it—it's kind of satisfying!

As he spoke, Luo Chenyu vanished from his spot, lightning erupting and stunning the hidden boss in place.

"You look familiar—I'll give you a quick death!"

Luo Chenyu recalled certain models from his past-life games; this boss bore at least sixty percent resemblance…

Remembering the past, he might as well hit harder.

He activated his burst skill again.

Demon Dragon Slash!!

Massive damage erupted, slashing more than half the hidden boss's HP with a single blow.

But as he saw the prompt message before him,

Luo Chenyu cried out: "Don't move! This boss has damage reflection—don't get caught off guard!"

Upon hearing this,

Dong Yiyue and the others froze their actions.

Damage reflection was indeed terrifying.

Especially for high-attack classes like them—who might get one-shotted by whom.

Luo Chenyu could ignore damage reflection entirely; even the half-god-level reflection couldn't harm him a single bit.

The reason…

He hadn't slain the previous beast deity was because it possessed innate "Reflection Armor," which he couldn't nullify.

Even half-gods like the Barbarian God couldn't nullify it.

That's why they chose to keep it sealed, waiting for the three deities of Blue Star to intervene.

"Strange—why do deep-sea monsters have so much damage reflection?"

Recalling the Eastern Sea beast tide and the previous monster grinding beyond Sakura Island,

Luo Chenyu's mind filled with doubts.

But…

Now wasn't the time to dig into the root cause—killing this hidden boss meant it was time to reap the rewards.

His combat technique activated involuntarily.

Damage surged to maximum.

In mere seconds, the mighty hidden boss of this special dungeon, aside from its opening skill, made no further moves—held control until death.

"Ding, you have slain the Level 150 Abyss Boss 【Mo Yun·Shark King】, gaining 21.5 million experience points (dada)!"

"Ding, your party has cleared the special dungeon 【Sea God Labyrinth】, reward calculation in progress!!"

The prompt appeared.

Causing Guan Yuzun and the others to sigh in silence.

"Finally understand what it's like to be carried—actually, this isn't so bad!!"

"Exactly, exactly! Before I always carried others, but now I can finally experience this feeling — now I get why so many people love freeloading wins."

"Bro Chenyu's badass! (voice crack)!"

"Stop sucking up, Old Guan, go loot the corpse!"

"Right, the hidden BOSS's drops — don't you dare ninja them, or I'll kill you!"

"Too bad that giant dragon blew itself up earlier, otherwise we definitely would've gotten good stuff — dragons, man, every single one of them is filthy rich!"

Guan Yuzun looked around left and right, then hesitated: "Um… better let Bro Chenyu loot the corpse, I've always had rotten luck!"

Luo Chenyu: "…"

Speaking of rotten luck, he had no confidence either.

When he used to party with Ye Xingtong, he didn't even dare loot corpses…

"Little Yue'er, you do it!"

Luo Chenyu smiled faintly, made a "after you" gesture, and said: "A pretty young lady's luck is never bad!"

Watching the hopeful gazes of five grown men.

Dong Yiyue hesitated a moment, then finally walked up to the hidden BOSS's corpse and extended her fair, flawless little hand…

"Wah!!"

Dong Yiyue suddenly shouted excitedly, "A skill book dropped! And it's a Tier 9 special skill book!"

Before anyone could react, she cried out again, "There's also a magic-type treasure, SS-rank!"

Luo Chenyu: "…"

Guan Yuzun: "…"

The two unlucky ones exchanged a glance, each seeing disbelief in the other's eyes.

This luck thing — is it really this outrageous?

Immediately after.

Guan Yuzun looked at the Dropped Items, and without any hesitation, split the Tier 9 special skill to Luo Chenyu.

"A tank skill book — Bro Chenyu's luck really is great!"

When Luo Chenyu saw the skill book, he immediately grinned and gave Dong Yiyue a thumbs-up.

"Little Yue'er is really reliable!"

【Heavy Armor · Shield-Battle Body】 (Tier 9 Special Skill): A Super Armor skill that greatly increases damage reduction, block, and tenacity. Every time it takes an attack, it must raise defense by a certain ratio. If damage taken exceeds 5% of its own max HP, the overflow damage is converted into an equal-value shield for 60 seconds. Cooldown: 60 minutes.

……

Have to say, Dong Yiyue's hand really is red-hot lucky.

Luo Chenyu didn't only have one Tier 9 tank skill book himself, but none of them had any Super Armor skill.
