Chapter 818

Luo Chenyu, however, smiled.

A shield?

And a lightning-type shield at that?

Isn't this just perfect fertilizer for the Daoist Zixu Divine Thunder?

Sure enough, the instant the lightning shield appeared, the Daoist Zixu Divine Thunder avatar suddenly accelerated and reached out to press directly onto the lightning shield.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle…

Lei Guang flickered for a moment.

The lightning shield was instantly absorbed by the Daoist Zixu Divine Thunder avatar.

The next instant, the Daoist Zixu Divine Thunder avatar raised its hand and erupted with a terrifying bolt of Lei Guang, drowning the dumbfounded Divine Punishment Envoy outright.

The damage wasn't actually that high.

But the humiliation was extreme.

Slapped across the face, crisp and ringing!

The true damage output isn't the Lv. 270 Daoist Zixu Divine Thunder avatar—its role is control and lockdown.

The real damage dealers are the Savage Charge True Body and Luo Chenyu himself.

Unrestricted charge!

Every charge can knock the Divine Punishment Envoy into a stiffened state, or proc a chance of stun.

If it were an ordinary BOSS, or even a deity, they'd very likely have been stunned to death by the Savage Charge True Body.

But alas…

The Divine Punishment Envoy's strength really was formidable.

It could only deal a little damage.

And yet…

Luo Chenyu's attacks were genuinely ferocious.

One must understand…

Savage Charge has the effect of boosting the damage of the next strike, and the Savage Charge True Body perfectly inherited this effect.

Every charge grants Luo Chenyu one stack of damage boost.

It can't stack, but the frequency has increased by quite a lot.

Luo Chenyu finally no longer had to hold back and hold his big moves in reserve—if he had a skill, he'd use it; after all, every moment carried a damage boost.

Ten-plus times the damage isn't something just anyone can tank.

"Impossible… why is your strength this great?"

The Divine Punishment Envoy, taking advantage of the stiffened window, voiced a question from the depths of its heart.

"Heh, this daddy is just this strong—none of your business!"

Luo Chenyu didn't want to explain; he just kept swinging the spiked club in his hand, bombarding it again and again.

The next instant.

The spiked club transformed into the Sky-Smashing Hammer.

Sky-Smash!

The single-target attack with the highest multiplier—alas, the Divine Punishment Envoy's Grade was simply too high, so the "instant-kill" effect couldn't trigger.

But that damage was enough to give it a real headache.

The Divine Punishment Envoy's HP slowly ticked down.

Several minutes passed.

Its HP was gradually whittled down to 60%!

Even with Luo Chenyu's fiercest output, it took this long—you can imagine just how absurd the Divine Punishment Envoy's stats were.

You can imagine just how difficult the Special Forbidden Trial was.

But…

Luo Chenyu did not regret triggering the Special Forbidden Trial!

The harder it is, the richer the reward.

"Locked in!"

When the Divine Punishment Envoy's HP hit 50%, Luo Chenyu saw that it hadn't triggered any special state at all and was still stunned in place.

He knew then that this battle, he had won.

Steady and methodical, and he could lock the Divine Punishment Envoy down to death.

If the damage output isn't enough…

Then make up for it with control.

The outcome was exactly as Luo Chenyu had predicted.

At nearly the twenty-minute mark, the Divine Punishment Envoy was finally killed outright by Luo Chenyu.

The process was very dull—just nonstop damage output, nonstop swinging of the spiked club.

The ultimate template for a stand-and-fight build.

But…

When the Divine Punishment Envoy died, Luo Chenyu was instead stunned.

That guy actually dropped an item for him.

But…

That item turned out to be something for a mage—he couldn't use it at all.

"So petty!"

Luo Chenyu curled his lip in disdain, speechless.

Finally…

A virtual panel appeared before his eyes once again.

The fourth round of trial — completed!

The fifth!

Followed in its wake.

【Special Forbidden Trial · Nine Heavens Palace】

Fifth Layer: Will

Trial Requirement: Endless divine sense indestructible, spiritual consciousness in order!

Time Limit: None!

Trial Reward: Initiate settlement!!

……

Luo Chenyu: "???"

What on earth does this mean?

He couldn't make heads or tails of this trial at all.

Moreover…

Is this the final level?

Isn't the Nine Heavens Palace supposed to have nine trials in total?

This left him a bit baffled.

But…

As the panel appeared, his figure had already vanished within the 【Abyss】.

When he reappeared, he was already in a familiar hazy space.

Luo Chenyu: "……"

Such a familiar feeling!!
