Chapter 540

The virtual interface appeared before Luo Chenyu.

It left him speechless.

Nothing else.

It was only because of the trial content for the second stage.

【"Indestructible Shield" Second Stage Trial】（Can be activated manually）

Trial Content (2): Endure over 100 billion damage within the time limit; shield damage is calculated at 10%.

Time limit: 30 minutes

Trial reward: All defense skills' effectiveness increased by 50%, damage reduction +100%, unlock third trial content.

Failure penalty: All defense skills' effectiveness reduced by 50%, damage reduction -200%, trial failed!

Hidden info: Master, just go for it.

………

【Indestructible Shield】is a defensive skill; having a trial based on damage absorption is understandable.

But…

This requirement is way too insane!!

100 billion damage absorption means he must endure nearly 200 times his own HP within just thirty minutes—and stay alive.

Most importantly…

Only 10% of the damage is calculated against the shield.

If relying solely on the shield, he'd need to absorb 1003 billion damage.

So the question arises!

In the current situation, it's truly hard to find a monster capable of dealing 100 billion damage in thirty minutes.

Perhaps a combined assault by many Tier 10 Indestructible Wooden Puppets might reach it.

But…

The time remaining for the Indestructible Wooden Puppet Array trial is less than twenty minutes.

Not enough time.

"Only wait and see what the next trial offers…"

Luo Chenyu sighed helplessly, closed the virtual interface, and walked toward the exit of the Indestructible Wooden Puppet Array.

It took two minutes.

Finally, he stepped out of the Indestructible Wooden Puppet Array.

Yet…

What awaited him was not a trial completion notification.

But a notification: the final guardian boss of the Indestructible Wooden Puppet Array had appeared.

Creak—creak—creak…

The sound of mechanical assembly rang out; cylindrical logs shot from all directions like lasers, locking together.

The speed was terrifying.

In an instant, they formed a massive Indestructible Wooden Puppet.

The boss appeared!!

Insight Eye!

【Endtime·Indestructible Wooden Puppet】

Quality: Tier 10 Puppet King

Level: LV. 220

Attributes: N/A

Skills: N/A

Special: Ignores 50% of target's defense efficiency (including skills, damage reduction caps, shield values, etc.) and deals additional Wood-element damage.

Hidden: Strengths: high defense, powerful regeneration; Weaknesses: slow movement, low attack speed; Soul attacks deal 5x damage.

……

Luo Chenyu thought for a moment, then ultimately abandoned activating the second stage of the 【Indestructible Shield】trial.

The Tier 10 Puppet King looked extremely bulky.

From its attributes and skills, it was clearly a defense-focused boss.

Though it had a "Special" trait, it was still nearly impossible to deal that much damage in a short time.

Then…

Let's go!!

Luo Chenyu stored away his other corrupted puppets, leaving only the Black Skull with pseudo-god power.

Only it could be useful in this situation.

Even a semi-god peak corrupted puppet's stats couldn't compare to the Tier 10 Puppet King.

In fact.

Wood-element puppets fear Fire-element damage, but among dragons, no one possessed a pure Fire dragon—even Long Yan wasn't a true Fire dragon.

Barbaric Charge!!

His body vanished like a bolt of lightning; terrifying lightning power erupted.

Fivefold Daoist Zixu Divine Thunder exploded once more!

Lightning descended from the sky, paralyzing the Tier 10 Puppet King and dealing substantial damage.

Most importantly,

Paralysis triggered first, making 【Rampage Charge】 more stable.

Luo Chenyu smiled.

Leap!!

Demon·Aurora Pillar!!

Burst skill—now is the time to use it!

A black-and-white light pillar descended, stripping the dim sky of its original hue.

Boom!!

Auroras enveloped, unleashing terrifying damage.

The skill damage from the evolved 【Demon·Fate·Aurora Pillar】 had clearly increased significantly, and its control had become stable.

With a single strike,

the Tier 10 Puppet King's health dropped by over 20%.

Such terrifying burst damage was simply unbelievable.

This was a full-tier Tier 10!!

And one known for defense, at that!!

"Attack!!"

As Luo Chenyu commanded the pseudo-divine demonic puppet to attack, he himself unleashed furious assaults.

Speaking of which,

he still felt a flicker of relief for having reserved ten minutes as a buffer.

Otherwise, if the final boss appeared and time ran short, it would have been a tragedy.

Now…

all he needed to do was maximize his output.

Nothing else mattered.

Black Dragon Battle Form!

Wild·Furious Slaughter!

Yet… aside from the high attack speed, virtually no other effects remained.

The Tier 10 Puppet King's absolute damage reduction was absurdly high.

It completely nullified his absolute damage, and even reduced other damage.

But…

attack speed was enough.
