Chapter 289: Six Supreme Extremes, the Rise of the Beasts (Requesting Monthly Tickets)

Teleported into the Baojundadian, the approaching night instantly swallowed the view in darkness.

Suddenly, the roars of countless beasts shattered the dark, and vision snapped clear.

Before him appeared a colossal beast, its entire body sheathed in dark scales, its body spanning heaven and earth, its spine winding like a mountain range, bristling with dense crystallized bone spines.

The beast abruptly turned its head toward him; an oppressive force slammed into him, and Hei Chao Xie Sui's heart clenched.

At that moment, the scaled beast slowly opened its mouth, tilting its head upward and unleashing a deafening roar that tore a crack across the sky, splitting the clouds.

In the beast's molten-gold eyes, his reflection was mirrored as it slowly descended upon him.

Just as he was about to be swallowed by the beast, the scene abruptly switched.

Beneath his feet became a churning, furious sea; a creature resembling a colossal whale rapidly enlarged from beneath the waves. When its spined back breached the surface, it unleashed ten-thousand-zhang waves, its gaping maw forming a spiraling vortex of space that swallowed the surrounding seas and over a hundred islands whole.

Boom!

The beast plunged back into the sea, and his vision was obscured by endless crashing waves.

The scene switched again; this time, a crimson landscape of volcanoes appeared before him.

A dragon composed of flame and bones awoke from the magma.

Only then did he realize this was no volcano—it was merely part of the beast's colossal body; each vertebra was an erupting volcano, molten lava flowing between its wing bones.

When it unfurled its fractured bone wings, fire rained from the heavens, turning the clouds over ten thousand li red…

One beast after another flashed before his eyes.

When all visions suddenly shattered, he saw a claw blotting out the sun, tearing open the sky; even a single scale on its claw-tip dwarfed every beast he had seen before. When the vast, sky-obscuring vertical pupil lowered to gaze upon him, it seemed as if a star was falling toward the earth.

A voice echoed in his mind:

"The insignificant shall become dust; only the colossal may touch the heavens. This is the Path of Gigantification—and the Path of the Tyrant."

The entrance scene faded; Hei Chao Xie Sui found himself standing on a bronze-cast square.

Around the square stood dozens of colossal beast statues, each radiating suffocating pressure.

To the east, a black-armored giant serpent coiled, its body wrapped around a broken Shi Zhu; each scale was as thick as a shield, oozing black venom mist from its seams, its cold eyes gleaming like gems, each vertebra rising like a mountain ridge.

To the west stood a gargoyle statue, its skin black as refined steel, gleaming metallically in the dim light; its muscular body was riddled with grotesque, scar-like fissures, through which dark red energy veins pulsed.

To the south loomed a colossal skeleton, wreathed in ink-black ghostly fire; its hollow eye sockets swirled with soul-flame, its jaw slightly agape, as if ready to spew a fire capable of burning souls.

To the north stood a terrifying, bipedal roaring bear; its paw slamming the ground gave the statue a sense of motion, every hair on its body forged into sharp spikes, its open maw revealing a spiraling vortex of storm.

These four were the four most popular choices among Beast Stream players.

Black-armored Serpent, Gargoyle, Ink-Flame, Roar.

All other statues represented different Painful Painful Minghun forms.

Glancing around, Hei Chao Xie Sui's gaze fixed on the totemic Shi Zhu before him, its surface engraved with monstrous forms of various Painful Painful Minghun.

Stepping before the totemic Shi Zhu, he reached out and touched it; instantly, a functional interface surfaced in his mind.

【Tyrant Path】:

Description: After abandoning the Star Vein Path, the Star Vein will restructure, unlocking a single Painful Painful Minghun growth path (after restructuring, the Star Vein can no longer accommodate other Painful Painful Minghun traits).

Note: The Tyrant growth path may be switched back to the Star Vein path at any time, returning all Shou Shou Jili and Evolution Points (minus 1% of total Shou Shou Jili).

Before activating the Tyrant Path, choose your Beast Form (Beast Form may be changed at any time by consuming Shou Shou Jili).

Below the description was the available Painful Painful Minghun library.

Hei Chao Xie Sui scanned the monstrous forms of various Painful Painful Minghun; his gaze finally settled on the Black-armored Serpent Painful Painful Minghun—one of the three initial Phantom Gods.

The Black-armored Serpent's vertical pupil in the icon suddenly contracted, reflecting his image.

In an instant, a stench of blood and venom struck his face; the venomous breath from its flickering tongue nearly burned his skin. The thick serpent body detached from the icon and expanded before his eyes, coiling toward him.

Selection complete; the boundary between reality and the interface's phantom vanished with a crash.

He immediately felt his bones twisting and warping, emitting a series of "crack-crack" sounds; black scales surfaced on his skin, followed by his spine elongating joint by joint, the caudal vertebrae bursting through flesh to grow a scaled, bony tail.

When the final scale formed on his neck, he involuntarily let out a hiss:

"Sss~"

"Sss what the hell!" Hei Chao Xie Sui decisively suppressed the urge to continue hissing, driven by instinct.

His new Black-armored Serpent body stretched out.

He felt the poison glands swelling on both sides of his mouth, the muscle fibers within his jaws tightening like steel cables, ready to snap out venomous fangs and spray poison.

At that moment, new information surfaced in his mind.

【Tyrant Body Selected. Choose Your Tyrant Path】:

Titan Path: The Apex of Force:

One claw shatters mountains, one foot cracks the earth; where my body walks, all becomes ruin.

Those who choose this path: flesh becomes a blazing furnace, bones cast like star-iron, muscles surging like molten lava; every inch of the body carries the violence to crush all things. Where power points, there the punishment of heaven follows.

Hei Chao Xie Sui's consciousness focused on the Titan Path; instantly, the phantom image of the Divine Tiger on the Gigantification battlefield appeared in his mind.

He saw the dying Divine Tiger phantom roaring to the heavens amid blood mist, every muscle on its body radiating a terrifying, awe-inspiring aesthetic of violence.

Its spine, a golden pillar piercing heaven and earth, bent but did not break under player elemental bombardment.

The ripples from its claws tearing through the battlefield shattered entire waves of Hei Chao Xie Sui.

Even the residual shockwave from its tail-swing as it neared death carried the crushing force of a mountain descending.

After watching the demonstration, Hei Chao Xie Sui sighed inwardly.

In the Gigantification battlefield campaigns, the Divine Tiger was unquestionably the strongest single combatant among the four factions; none of the Three Cataclysms had a unit capable of standing against the Divine Tiger for even a moment.

Unfortunately, the Divine Tiger faced three legions unafraid of death.

No matter how strong an individual's power, if it cannot sweep away victory like a flood, exhaustion is defeat.

He had participated in this battle in full; when reviewing the battle with the Divine King, the Divine King mentioned a viewpoint he had read in the library.

It stated that individual might, when confronting a flood of massed troops, is always fighting a losing energy ledger.

The Divine Tiger slashed with one claw, seemingly shattering mountains and splitting the earth, effortlessly annihilating countless evil spirits—but in truth, it was smashing tiles with gold.

The energy consumed far exceeded that required for the Black Tide to generate its troop types.

Adding the Black Tide's death backlash trait, this strike was a guaranteed loss.

You could compare the Divine Tiger to a human, and the Black Tide to ants capable of explosive breeding.

One stomp from the Divine Tiger can crush dozens of ants—seemingly violent—but the stamina expended could breed hundreds of new ants; the harder you strike, the greater your loss.

Yet stomping is already the most basic attack method of powerful lifeforms; no lower-cost combat method exists.

Here, the Divine King mentioned another viewpoint.

He stated that one's self-recovery ability must keep pace with one's strength; otherwise, an individual's power is like a boss displaying its health bar, ultimately worn down by factions with explosive breeding capabilities.

Applied to warfare, both the Black Tide and the Insect Tide follow a path of profiting from "energy accounting."

They rely on overwhelming numbers to exhaust enemies, never expending excessive energy to generate a single powerful unit—seeking maximum combat results at minimal cost.

The Gaze of Approaching Night swept toward other growth paths.

Golem Path · Ultimate Mastery of Defense:

Impervious to all arts, unharmed by a thousand blades; standing on the battlefield, one becomes an invincible city.

This path pursues ultimate physical defense, transforming flesh and blood into an indestructible barrier—your skin gradually transforms into crystal steel, your bones inscribed with the Ultimate Mastery of Defense from the Great Enlargement Rule; when fully perfected, even if heaven and earth collapse, you remain unmoved.

The Gaze of Approaching Night touched the demo content beneath the Golem Path, and before his eyes instantly appeared a moving mountain of steel.

It resembled a mammoth-like beast, its entire body covered in crystallized armor, each step triggering earthquakes and collapsing mountains.

Countless elemental torrents slammed against it, leaving not even the faintest scratch.

Facing fierce encirclement, the giant beast raised its trunk and roared—a myriad of defensive runes surfaced across its body, encompassing a thousand-meter radius.

At that moment, countless figures surrounding the beast formed a grand array in the sky, summoning a colossal fireball plummeting like a meteor—but the beast absorbed the terrifying impact directly on its back, its four legs shattering the continent yet remaining utterly unmoved.

The demo footage vividly demonstrated the formidable prowess of a body that has reached the state of imperviousness to all arts.

After watching the demo, the Gaze of Approaching Night suddenly thought:

Perhaps the Divine Tiger never developed the Golem Path's "Great Enlargement Rule"—its offensive power was astonishing, yet its defense was nowhere near comparable.

Had it possessed the Golem Path's defensive enhancement, the Divine Tiger would have held out far longer.

Thus, possessing a Rule and knowing how to use it are entirely different things.

Like many Primordial Monsters, though inherently possessing Rule power, many still rely solely on instinct-driven physical combat.

His gaze shifted to the subsequent Tyrant Path.

Mirage Path · Ultimate Mastery of Speed:

Afterimages fade not, true form has already arrived; all beings remain unaware, slaughter is already done.

The ultimate path of speed—movement like a phantom, strike like thunder; those who reach its peak may stroll calmly through elemental torrents, wielding life and death in an instant.

This demo scene unfolded across a vast battlefield.

Tens of millions of black-armored barbarian beasts advanced as a steel flood, clad in heavy armor, their formation capable of crushing any defense.

Suddenly, a silver lightning bolt pierced the army formation.

Time seemed to freeze in that second.

The silver light carved crisscrossing paths through the Black Tide army, instantly forming a vast silver net.

The black-armored barbarians froze rigidly in place.

The next instant, tens of millions of bodies simultaneously erupted into towering blood columns; their heavy armor shattered like paper, the barbarian warriors never even had time to scream before being utterly annihilated.

When the silver lightning halted, it was revealed to be a massive, slender silver wolf.

It elegantly flicked its tail, its silver fur untouched by a single drop of blood, while behind it, the barbarian army collapsed like dominoes.

But the Gaze of Approaching Night felt that the monster system better suited the earlier power and defense paths, with low compatibility for speed.

Yet exceptions existed.

The monster form of the Painful Painful Minghun was highly compatible with the Ultimate Mastery of Speed.

His gaze turned to the fourth path.

Glutton Path · Ultimate Mastery of Life:

A single drop of blood regenerates, shattered body fights again, devours all eight directions, immortal and unkillable.

This path pursues ultimate regenerative power—flesh and blood become an endless life furnace, every drop of blood a seed of rebirth; even if reduced to dust and bone, one rises anew from destruction—the larger the body, the faster the recovery, until achieving an eternal, immortal form.

This demo scene unfolded on a blood-soaked battlefield, where a nine-headed giant serpent battled countless other towering beasts.

It demonstrated immense life-healing ability.

During battle, severed heads sprouted frenzied flesh buds, instantly regrowing new serpent heads.

Even if reduced to nothing but bone by other beasts, its blood and bones greedily sucked in energy from earth and air, regenerating flesh and muscle in moments.

The final frame froze: the attacking beasts collapsed from exhaustion, while the nine-headed serpent still stood tall on the battlefield, roaring to the heavens.

Spirit Lord Path · Ultimate Mastery of Divinity:

One thought, myriad phenomena; divine might like a hell; commanding heaven with soul, shattering the dome with thought.

This path pursues ultimate spiritual power—flesh and spirit resonate, becoming a mobile source of celestial calamity.

Those who choose this path inscribe the "Ultimate Mastery of Divinity" Zhou Yin across every inch of their body; with each breath they stir elemental tides, with each roar they summon elemental divine punishment; when perfected, merely gazing can disassemble all things, and mental fluctuations can rewrite reality.

Entering the demo scene, the Gaze of Approaching Night saw a translucent crystal dragon-turtle.

Its shell swirled with hundreds of millions of dense runes, each scale reflecting different elemental radiance; when it raised its head and roared, ambient elemental energy boiled and surged—Lei Ting split from clear skies, magma erupted from fissures, blizzards and flames raged simultaneously.

When countless races assembled into an army and charged forward, the dragon-turtle merely opened its eyes slightly—every enemy floated midair like puppets, their flesh and bones disassembled and reassembled by invisible force, exploding into dense clouds of blood mist like fireworks.

Chaos Path · Ultimate Mastery of Domination:

Power breaks all arts, thought commands heavenly might, immortal and unkillable, flawless and invulnerable.

This path pursues absolute perfect balance—strength, defense, speed, recovery, and spirit all reach Zhi Hua Jing; though no single attribute is supreme, none are lacking; those who choose this path unlock full-stat growth, crushing all foes with the most tyrannical posture.

The final path's demonstration screen showed a monster constantly twisting and changing.

At times resembling a divine tiger, its muscles bulged like a Titan when charging; when attacked, scales sprouted instantly like a golem; during a surprise attack, heavy shadows swirled like a mirage; when injured, flesh and blood writhed like a Taotie; when releasing an elemental torrent, its momentum resembled a Spirit Venerable.

When all path demonstrations ended, Hei Ye Jiang Zhi understood the growth core of the Tyrant path.

Compared to the thousand changes of the Star Vein combination, the Monster Flow playstyle specializes in physical forging.

As for which is stronger, there is no doubt the Star Vein system is superior.

Leaving aside the infinitely expandable skill options, the mutual buffs of its traits far surpass the Monster Flow by a head.

Many Painful Painful Minghun traits calculate effects via multiplication.

It is easy to assemble overpowered combinations, granting players power amplification beyond imagination.

For example, the output multiplier buff of the Force Savage Axe plus the armor-piercing buff of Shattered plus the critical hit multiplier buff plus the battle will multiplier buff... The characteristic of this combination is multiplying the base stats four times, not by four.

The Monster Flow's strength is the exact opposite, following the base stat amplification route.

Regrettably, it cannot receive buffs from other Painful Painful Minghun; if it could combine buffs like the Star Vein, the high base stats would bring incomparably exaggerated numerical effects.

But the Monster Flow is not without merits; compared to the numerous and messy growth paths of the Star Vein system.

The Monster Flow has only six growth specialization routes.

What puzzled him was the specific amplification multiplier of these six Monster Flow routes.

When in doubt, ask the Guide; he turned his head to the Guide and voiced his confusion:

"Guide brother, the Monster Flow's all-attribute amplification effect is gaining 1% of all attributes for every 1% increase in body size; do the different growth paths of the Tyrant path gain additional buffs on top of this?"

The Guide's water sphere opened its eyes at this moment:

【Correct, every Tyrant path represents an additional buff, refining the utilization efficiency of flesh and blood into one specific path. Suppose you choose the Titan path; for every 1% increase in body size, other attributes still gain a 1% increase, but your Strength attribute growth becomes 2%. The Monster Flow is a path that grows stronger via attribute values; there are no true weaknesses in attribute values.】

Hearing the Guide's answer, he immediately understood the significance of the upcoming event.

The essence of this event is to let players explore which Tyrant path best matches different Painful Painful Minghun monster forms, thereby allowing players to find the strongest Monster path.

For example, the Black Armored Snake form he currently chose obviously does not match the "Spirit Venerable path" which grants extra buffs to the Spirit attribute.

And Mo Yan's Bone Fire monster form obviously does not suit the Titan route focused on extra Strength buffs, nor the Mirage path focused on Speed buffs.

But which one is stronger specifically must be tested personally to know the answer.

As time passed, Hei Ye Jiang Zhi began switching between different monster forms, trying to feel the effects under different Tyrant path enhancements.

Five hours after the update went live, he published a detailed Monster Flow playstyle interpretation guide.

Afterwards, he chose to remain inside the Baojundadian building to conduct more detailed testing and adjustments.

Later, he also tested the Tyrant Dharma Image function, discovering the Dharma Image system was simply a bottomless pit for Shou Shou Jili.

Activating it cost 1 million Shou Shou Jili; its subsequent growth paths were more complex than the Monster Flow's six Tyrant paths, and the Shou Shou Jili required would rise step-by-step with the Dharma Image's growth; at this stage, even top players of the Divine Hall Guild could not afford such a playstyle.

Therefore, the "Tyrant Dharma Image" can be classified as a future playstyle.

After a simple test, he abandoned deep research and focused more energy on the detailed evaluation of the Monster Flow's six Tyrant paths.

Time flew rapidly during the testing, until the event start prompt rang in his mind:

【Challenger Prompt (All Channels): The Tyrant Battlefield event officially begins; players may enter the scene via the Baojundadian to participate.】

Event playstyle introduction: For this event, all players' levels are set to 100; all functions outside the Monster Flow system cannot be used; participate in duels via matchmaking; killing a matched opponent counts as successful promotion, gaining one-tenth of the opponent's points (initially 10 points); failing 5 times counts as elimination (eliminated players retain points and can participate in event rankings).

Note: The Tyrant Dharma Image function does not participate in this event.

With the event starting, he decisively clicked the originally dim "Tyrant Battlefield" function in the interface.

Immediately, the event interface popped up in his mind; the center of the interface was "Enter Matchmaking," the left side was the leaderboard list (currently no players on the list), and below was his selected Painful Painful Minghun form and Tyrant path.

The current Painful Painful Minghun library has 85 Painful Painful Minghun; each Painful Painful Minghun has six Tyrant paths, meaning every player has 510 selectable monster forms to compete with.

After pondering for a few seconds, a smile appeared on Hei Ye Jiang Zhi's face.

He thought of a fun fighting method that might have miraculous effects.

After initializing the monster form, he began reassembling it.

The initial Painful Painful Minghun selected was the Qi-Eating form.

Immediately, the body began to twist, finally transforming into a form resembling a salamander.

Regarding the Tyrant path selection, he decisively chose the "Taotie path," the Ultimate of Life most suited to Qi-Eating.

Which Painful Painful Minghun form is stronger in the Monster Flow playstyle; he, a Star Vein faction player, truly could not test that out in a short time.

But during testing, he found a Monster Flow combination requiring the least combat skill.

Qi-Eating plus the Taotie path.

Qi-Eating, which already possesses powerful recovery abilities, combined with the flesh and blood self-healing ability brought by the Ultimate of Life, is an unkillable cockroach; it can completely win by wearing down the opponent's life force.

The chat with the God King gave him many inspirations.

Especially the viewpoint of the "Energy Account"; when both sides have similar strength, the side capable of a longer war of attrition will likely win.

Qi-Eating, this Painful Painful Minghun that has occupied the number one spot on the leaderboard since the server opened, might also be a T0 tier choice for the Monster Flow system.

After completing the selection, with the body switched to the Qi-Eating form, he used his consciousness to tap "Enter Matchmaking."

The next second, his vision was shrouded in darkness.

After a brief sensation of weightlessness, his vision cleared again.

He found himself standing in an open canyon area; cold mountain winds carrying the scent of blood swept over his body.

The level 100 Qi-Eating form's body length was already close to eighty meters.

From a bird's-eye view, the towering trees in the canyon were like toy models, and the surging lava rivers were as thin as threads.

Directly ahead, a green-scaled giant lizard over a hundred meters long raised its head to look at him; its thick tail was slapping the ground again and again, raising rolling clouds of dust.

【Challenger Prompt (Event): Matchmaking complete, combat begins; death of one side counts as defeat; combat time: 1 hour (when combat time ends, the side with the highest HP percentage wins; if HP percentages are equal, the side with the highest damage dealt wins).】

After the prompt, the player who chose the Tear Painful Painful Minghun form launched the first attack; its thick hind legs suddenly pushed off the ground, shaking the earth.

His massive body shot forward like a cannonball, his barbed tail sweeping out to strike him hard across the flank.

Boom!

The dull thud of flesh and blood exploding echoed through the canyon.

A horrifying wound tore open the belly of the "Night Approaches" body; dark green viscous fluid mixed with chunks of flesh and blood sprayed outward.

Yet before the giant lizard could press its advantage, he decisively inhaled.

Instantly, energy particles filtered by the Painful Painful Minghun's traits within the canyon gathered like swallows returning to their nest, forming a white airflow that poured into his mouth, entering his body and transforming into vigorous vitality that surged through his limbs and bones.

He felt the wound location itch unbearably.

In a single breath, the bursting wound had already healed as if it were new.

Seeing this, the player who had torn his Painful Painful Minghun to transform into a green giant lizard was stunned, then spoke in human speech:

"Damn, can you play like this?"

But his offensive did not stop; he lunged and bit again, sharp teeth embedding in his back as he frantically shook his head.

"Buddy, sorry about this, Death Roll!"

The player transformed into the green giant lizard suddenly began to spin his body.

Using the force generated by the spin, he instantly tore a large chunk of flesh and blood from the other's back.

But the ferocious recovery ability brought by the Air-Eating plus Devouring path activated once more.

Flesh buds and tendrils sprouted from the torn wound, swelling at a speed visible to the naked eye; in the blink of an eye, it had recovered as if new, and after shaking his body, he shed a layer of white skin.

At this moment, the heart of "Night Approaches" was also incredibly bitter.

The recovery intensity was exactly as he had expected; it was indeed top-tier.

But it really hurt!

To win this battle, he launched a counterattack at this moment, opening his mouth full of sharp teeth to viciously lunge at the player in the torn Painful Painful Minghun form.

But the base attributes of the Air-Eating Painful Painful Minghun were low; whether in strength or defense, he was no match for this torn giant lizard.

The opponent must have chosen the Strength path; a direct confrontation was completely hopeless.

The battle descended into the most primitive stage of savage combat.

Every tear and bite from the giant lizard player tore large chunks of flesh from his body, causing pain so intense he wanted to cry.

Fortunately, every bite and claw strike he landed left wounds on the opponent.

As time passed, the battle situation gradually tilted.

His wounds could heal quickly, while the giant lizard player's injuries kept accumulating.

Looking at the blood-soaked giant lizard player, "Night Approaches" could not help but advise:

"Buddy, surrender; you can't win."

"No way, die!" The exhausted giant lizard player had no intention of giving up.

"Night Approaches" felt helpless in his heart and could only continue to attack.

When only five minutes remained, a tail swipe knocked down the stamina-exhausted giant lizard player.

This time, the giant lizard player had no strength left to stand up, and his life value hit zero at that very moment.

【Challenger Notification: Congratulations on winning this match battle; you have received Event Points +10.】

Feeling his whole body ache, "Night Approaches" sat down heavily on the ground, thinking he had probably chosen the wrong monster form.

Playing the Air-Eating plus Devouring monster form tortured the opponent while also torturing oneself.

After the sensation of weightlessness passed, "Night Approaches" returned to the bronze plaza where giant beast statues stood.

For the second round, he did not intend to start another.

He was not good at the Liu De Wan Fa of monsters to begin with, and the gap between him and those specializing in the monster Liu De Wan Fa was significant.

Next, he decided to use live streaming to find out which of the Gedaliu Sect's monsters was the strongest.

Half an hour later, "Night Approaches" returned to the Colorful Mist Coast.

Lying comfortably on the beach, he held a cup of fruit wine made by a Spirit Chef player in his left hand and a skewer of delicious silver-tail grilled fish in his right.

In his field of vision, besides the stars dotting the night sky, there were four scaled-down live streaming rooms.

After the event started, the number of players on the beach clearly decreased; basically, everyone had gone to participate in the event.

While enjoying the food, he was also recording the characteristics of different monster Liu De Wan Fa.

During this period, the live streaming screens opened by "Night Approaches" kept switching.

After hours of observation, he had formed a preliminary ranking in his heart regarding the strength of different monster Liu De Wan Fa.

The Liu De Wan Fa ranked first in his heart used the Critical Strike Painful Painful Minghun; the monster form was a saber-toothed tiger resembling a bipedal stance, covered in pale golden scales, with muscle lines as distinct as forged steel, standing on the earth like a giant blade drawn from its sheath.

The characteristic of the monster Liu De Wan Fa is extremely high base stats; with the support of the Critical Strike trait and the secondary enhancement of the Titan path, the killing power is astonishing.

Among the top 30 on the leaderboard, 6 players chose the Critical Strike plus Titan path.

Ranked second is the Accumulation plus Golem path; while defense is maxed out, once enough power is accumulated, the final blow is basically a one-hit violent instant kill.

Both defense and damage output are astonishing; it can basically be concluded that this will be one of the mainstream choices for the monster Liu De Wan Fa in the future.

Ranked third is the Roar plus Spirit Venerable path; the characteristic of this combination is that it possesses both the terrifying physique for close-quarters combat and control plus mental damage, making it a good choice for players who like mixed damage.

Furthermore, he discovered that there are counter relationships between different monsters, and there is no absolute strongest.

For example, the Air-Eating plus Devouring path he used previously had very high strength; several players were using this combination on live streams, and basically anyone who encountered it would curse and say "disgusting."

Yet it was perfectly countered by the Wither Painful Painful Minghun plus Spirit Venerable path.

The effect of the Wither trait is to continuously stack Wither damage.

In the late game, the healing speed of Air-Eating could not keep up with the continuous damage value of Wither; the final result was taking a beating and still losing.

Or the Critical Strike plus Titan path; if it encounters the Heavy Hammer Painful Painful Minghun plus Golem, it is completely countered.

The relatively weak constitution of Critical Strike, once entering the stun state applied by the Heavy Hammer trait, is easily killed.

Ranked third are Roar + Spirit Venerable, or Ink Flame + Spirit Venerable; when facing a Painful Painful Minghun + Golem combo, they basically only get beaten, dealing damage like scraping.

Although Painful Painful Minghun's damage isn't high, it can still easily wear down spell-type monsters.

The only one with no shortcomings for now is the Gang Qi + Chaos path, taking the full-buff route.

It can go fifty-fifty with anyone; only the Critical + Titan path combo can provide some counter.

Other powerful combos are still constantly emerging.

For example, the Ink Flame + Golem tank-monster, the Frost Breath + Spirit Venerable semi-control combo... among them, the Ke Bing Xue Lao Yin (Mummy Form) + Golem combo truly opened his eyes.

While having high defense, as long as it deals wounds to the opponent in combat, it can activate continuous blood drain.

As one side weakens and the other grows, it fights harder the longer the battle.

Which monster-stream combo can ultimately reach the top, forum players are also arguing endlessly.

This event can be considered as handing monster-stream players an encyclopedia-style reference answer.

How to choose, one can completely pick from the leaderboard and the monster streams hotly discussed on the forum.

It can be foreseen that the monster stream is about to rise in this version.

Many "old monster" players who have already switched to the Star Vein playstyle are about to return to their beloved Tyrant path.

The large number of recruitment posts flooding the forum is proof.

This group of veteran players returning to their old trade, starting to instill in the newbies on the forum a truth that has been dormant and vanished for a long time:

Big is strong, heavy is reason, flesh and blood is truth!
