Chapter 640: The Utter Difficulty, Unleashing a Divine‑Level Set

Fire mouth, ice tail, wind wing, thunder claw.

A massive bird made of elements, accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder, descended from the sky.

Without any warning, it rushed straight toward the Undead Legion.

Its speed was so fast it was almost comparable to a headless Knight using its charge skill.

A pair of thunder claws, crackling with lightning, each seized a headless Knight.

The massive claws clenched, and the armor on the headless Knight clanged.

It was not crushed as it had expected.

Unless the damage reaches an instant‑kill level against the headless Knight, all damage is shared by the Undead Legion, making it far from easy to kill a headless Knight.

The headless Knight fought back within the claws, its bone sword repeatedly thrusting at the giant bird.

Jiang Chen launched a Detection Technique.

The giant bird clearly exceeded the Instance limit; through soul sensing, it should be around level 84.

For any team, a boss like this is hard to handle.

However, Jiang Chen also knows that if he hadn't simultaneously activated the four platforms, merging the four elemental channels into one, this boss wouldn't be this powerful.

"Tian Shan Giant Eagle (World-Class Leader)"

"Level: 82"

"Strength: 1,200,000"

"Agility: 1,600,000"

"Spirit: 1,200,000"

"Constitution: 1,400,000"

"Skill: Elemental Strong Attack"

"Traits: Fire Element Immunity, Wind Element Immunity, Water Element Immunity, Electric Element Immunity"

World-Class Leader is already the strongest title within an Instance.

Only BOSSes in Large‑scale Dungeons are called World-Class Leaders.

Many people think World-Class Leaders and World BOSSes are of the same tier.

It's just that inside an Instance they're called leaders, while in the wild they're called BOSS.

Their total attributes are almost identical.

That's because those people have never dealt with a World BOSS at all.

Let alone having solo‑killed a World BOSS.

Just a vague understanding.

In Jiang Chen's eyes, World BOSSes are definitely stronger than those leaders inside Instances.

Even if they are the same level, even if their attributes are similar.

World BOSSes have all kinds of protective traits, such as the venomous Jiao; even just their poison attribute alone is a huge hassle.

By contrast, leaders inside Instances are much easier to deal with.

Jiang Chen has lost count of how many World BOSSes he's slain, and he never really paid attention to the mere level‑82 Tian Shan Giant Eagle.

But because it stays in flight and moves extremely fast, pursuit is difficult.

The four‑element immunity greatly reduces the Skeleton Great Mage's Elemental Riot power.

Only the Skeleton Divine Archer's soul shot can inflict any damage on it.

But to eliminate it requires considerable time.

Jiang Chen didn't want to waste time; with a sudden thought, he pointed his finger at a spot in the air, and the sky instantly darkened.

Dark clouds pressed overhead, and a chilling wind surged.

An exquisite Skeleton Throne materialized in the air.

The Divine‑level Ku Lou Wang, over 20 meters tall, slowly rose from the throne.

The Divine‑level Ku Lou Wang, formed from 100,000 skeletons, possesses peak attribute power of a level‑92.

When using skills, its burst power can reach level‑93.

The appearance of the Divine‑level Ku Lou Wang made the space creak.

The Tian Shan Giant Eagle, as an Instance leader, flailed about in panic.

The Ku Lou Wang swung its massive sword, cutting a razor‑sharp blade of light.

Skill: Slash God!

Targeting only the Tian Shan Giant Eagle, the Slash God strike unleashed its maximum power.

The Tian Shan Giant Eagle's cry abruptly stopped, its massive body exploding in the blade of light.

One slash instant‑killed it.

The Tian Shan Giant Eagle couldn't even unleash its skill before being instantly slain.

For Jiang Chen, killing it is just a matter of time.

It depends on whether he wants to linger or is in a hurry.

Now Jiang Chen is pressed for time and has no patience to toy with it.

"Kill Tian Shan Giant Eagle."

"Obtained Tian Shan's Flaming Giant"

"Obtained Tian Shan's Storm Battle Armor"

"Obtained Tian Shan's Lightning Ring"

"Obtained Tian Shan's Ice Bracelet"

"Tianshan Flame Giant (one piece of the Tianshan Set): Quasi‑Mythic‑grade Equipment, All Attributes +70000, Berserker Skill Amplify +140%, Flame skill extra increase 50%. Attached Skill: Flame Sky."

"Flame Sky: When attacking there is a chance to trigger this skill, dealing Fire Element damage to enemies within a hundred‑meter radius."

"Tianshan Storm Battle Armor (one piece of the Tianshan Set): Quasi‑Mythic‑grade Equipment, All Attributes +40000, all damage reduced 15%, Wind Element immunity increased 40%."

"Tianshan Thunder Ring (one piece of the Tianshan Set): Quasi‑Mythic‑grade Equipment, All Attributes +20000, adds Electric Element attack to all attacks, with a chance to cause paralysis."

"Tianshan Ice Bracelet (one piece of the Tianshan Set): Quasi‑Mythic‑grade Equipment, All Attributes +20000, immune to freezing status."

Four pieces of equipment, each with different elements and different traits.

The skill attached to the weapon is average, merely standard.

Looking at this weapon alone, it's nothing special.

But if these pieces are considered together, it's completely different.

The Tianshan Giant Eagle drops the Tianshan Set; although each piece's attributes are average, collecting the full set makes one a bird‑gun and cannon.

A complete Tianshan Set, among Quasi‑Mythic‑grade Equipment, belongs to the top tier.

Without access to Mythic‑level Equipment, the Tianshan Set can be called the strongest.

Very few can compare with it.

A complete Tianshan Set has six pieces: Weapon, Battle Armor, Ring, Necklace, Earrings, Bracelet.

Moreover, the six pieces have different attributes.

For example, the weapon must match each profession's type, such as a Knight's sword, an Archer's bow, a Mage's staff, etc.

It also needs corresponding attributes, amplification for the relevant elemental skills, and compatible random skills.

Battle Armor also has different attributes, different elemental bonuses, to suit different professions.

Thus, the variety of combinations is almost endless.

If a Fire Mage obtains a complete Tianshan Set, with uniform attributes.

Fire staff, fire Battle Armor, Ring, Necklace, Earrings, Bracelet – the full set.

Then even giving him a Mythic‑level piece would likely not tempt a trade.

But collecting a full set like this is truly too difficult.

Among the top echelons of Human Professionals, even a Divine‑level Strongman may not be able to collect a full set.

Jiang Chen this time collected four pieces, each with different attributes.

Fire Element weapon, Wind Element Battle Armor, Electric Element Ring, Water Element Bracelet.

Now it seems rather chaotic and unsystematic.

It's still him; if another team were to kill, using only one key to open the middle passage, the final dropped Tianshan equipment would be only one piece.

With uncertain types and attributes, who knows when a full set could be gathered.

A Divine‑level Strongman once said that a same‑attribute Tianshan Set belongs to the "within one's lifetime" series.

At that time that Divine‑level Strongman was willing to trade his Mythic‑level Weapon for a same‑attribute Tianshan Set, but unfortunately could not obtain one.

Jiang Chen thought he might run a few more clears.

With his speed and ability, four Tianshan pieces per run, as long as he farms enough times, perhaps he could gather the full Tianshan Set.

The Human Race lacks Mythic‑level Equipment, only a few pieces exist.

According to him, Li Xueru's Shenlong Tower is Mythic‑level; Hong Jishi's gauntlets and Ao Hongchen's blade are not Mythic‑level Equipment, but top‑grade quasi‑legendary Dao‑level.

Lin Zhenzi's precious staff in hand also does not seem to be Mythic‑level.

Why Mythic‑level Equipment is so scarce involves many, many issues.

The biggest reason is the Human Race lacks Divine‑level blacksmiths, unable to forge.

But Li Xueru, if he has enough materials, can craft Mythic‑level jewelry.

Jiang Chen had an idea: to assemble a full Tianshan Set for his teachers, which would surely boost their combat power.

The thought flashed, then was quickly suppressed.

"This matter is not urgent for now."

Jiang Chen again cast his gaze toward the Tianshan Divine Palace above.

At the moment the Tianshan Giant Eagle died, not only was the equipment obtained, but the formation blocking his advance also vanished.

The road behind the formation was fully revealed; the palace a thousand meters up was clearly in sight.

This indicates he is qualified to enter the palace.

"The instance indeed has a fourth segment."

"This is the true Tianshan God Palace Dungeon."

Jiang Chen ascended the mountain, heading toward the summit's Tianshan Divine Palace.

A gale blew, and the wind chime rang again at his ears.

This time Jiang Chen was prepared; his soul power tightened, unaffected by external influences.

The Nine‑colored Dragon Soul Crystal continuously spiraled around his soul, also bearing vigilance.

He kept his mind steadfast, undisturbed by external matters.
