Chapter 469

Just to deal a little more damage, to hold on a little longer.

Time slipped away, second by second.

The battle still raged on.

In the distance.

That withered figure, watching Luo Chenyu's fight, showed a look of gratification in its dark eyes.

Until later, a madness rose in those dark eyes.

Its expression grew utterly wild.

"Hahaha… go on, kill Him!"

"So long as you kill Him, whether it's the Lost Lands or the Continent of Gods and Demons, you'll be the strongest prodigy there is — bar none!"

"No — even within the Eternal Ten Thousand Worlds, you could stand among the very strongest of its prodigies!"

"Become the strongest being, break free of the Eternal Ten Thousand Worlds' shackles entirely, and everyone can be saved — everyone will look up to you!"

"Hahaha…"

Just as the withered figure laughed wildly.

Chains of light pierced through the energy vortex's portal in the sky.

Falling straight onto the withered figure.

Strange grey flames actually ignited on His body, corroding His flesh without cease.

"Come on! How many years now? Keep going!!"

The withered figure felt the devastating power on its body and laughed even more wildly. "Rules, laws — everything is illusion. Only true strength is real strength. You can't touch me!"

Violent aura surged.

Yet it was confined within a narrow range, unable to escape even a fraction.

"Once I break free of this cage, I'll slaughter every last one of you ghost-things — kill them all!!"

The terrifying, frenzied voice echoed endlessly.

………………

Boom!!

Luo Chenyu once again took that enormous fist head-on, his shield value dropping by hundreds of millions.

And his HP had already been wiped clean by the extra damage — true damage, absolute damage — and even the absolute defense of 【Defense Stance】 had triggered.

The blood pool attached to 【Life Goddess's Shelter】 triggered for the first time.

His HP bar bounced up and down like piano keys being played.

There was no choice…

The mood had been built up to such a pitch.

For this mission, he'd thrown everything he had into it.

If he didn't finish it, he wouldn't stop!

The final minute!

The most critical minute!

"Heh… done!"

Luo Chenyu actually smiled now, because that final minute had been his steadiest minute of all!

【Life Goddess's Shelter — True Form】 activated!

One minute of invincibility!

His ultimate life-saving trump card.

True invincibility!

No damage could touch him in the slightest.

Ignoring the black skeleton's attacks, Luo Chenyu's lips curved slightly upward as he unleashed a frenzy of damage.

Using 【Berserk Stance】 to push his HP as low as possible.

Any boost to his damage output, however small, was welcome.

When his HP recovered past 50%, Luo Chenyu finally couldn't hold back any longer — he activated 【Desolate · Mad Slaughter】!

His HP plummeted to freezing point!

Invincibility — that's just how willful it was!

The Sky-Smashing Hammer swung wildly.

All manner of damage numbers popped up without pause.

His HP had no room to rise at all — only the frantic attack speed kept going.

And…

A 1000% damage bonus!

After a frenzied assault of over forty seconds, Luo Chenyu saw the black skeleton still at 91% HP — and finally, several key skills had finished their cooldowns.

Black Dragon Battle Body!

Brutal Charge!

Vault!

"Come on — the final strike!!"

【Sky Smash】 ready!

The final strike — also the strongest strike.

Sky Smash!

The "Martial Soul True Body" appeared once more, terrifying power coalescing, space trembling, everything trembling!

The Super Divine Artifact slammed into the black skeleton's sternum.

Crack!

Crackle…

Damage in the tens of billions surfaced, crack after crack spreading across the black skeleton's chest.

But…

Luo Chenyu had failed!!

No instant-kill triggered — now he could only hope that after a successful class change, his strength would rise enough to face the black skeleton again!

The terrifying strike triggered a life-steal effect.

His HP refilled to full once more.

But…

A glint of resolve flashed in Luo Chenyu's eyes.

"No, it isn't completely over yet!"

There was still one final eruption left!!

Time Reversal!

The target — himself!

The mysterious treasure 【Heart of Spacetime】 — its rule of time could return him to his state before the eruption, resetting the cooldowns of all skills except the Mutated Skill.

"Once more!!"

Now, he had no room left to choose.

Without risking it all, he'd never know where his limit lay!

Black Dragon Battle Body!

Leap!

Sky-Shattering Strike!!

The strike landed — still on the same crack from before!

Boom!!

The great hammer slammed down, and the crack shattered in an instant!

Wild energy surged!

Luo Chenyu paid no heed to anything else — in his sight there was only one number.

Critical Hit, Divine Power Damage -325.7 trillion (Instant Kill)!

Before he could even react.
