Chapter 150: Fighting Stone Giants!
Soon, Su Yu silently arrived not far from the five stone giants.
Power of the Brave!
Endless golden flames instantly ignited across Su Yu's body, resembling a god of war bathed in fire.
For Su Yu now, the active effect of Power of the Bravecould completely be used as a regular skill.
He had already accumulated more than ten refreshing marks, which was equivalent to being able to use the active effect of Power of the Brave more than a dozen times consecutively.
However, the cooldown time of the passive effect of Power of the Brave had not yet recovered, so Su Yu had to keep at least eight refreshing marks for any unexpected needs.
Soul-Severing Arrow!
With a thought from Su Yu, a Soul-Severing Arrowconsuming a thousand times mana instantly tore through the air.
With the blessing of Power of the Brave, Su Yu's mana directly soared to over ten million, allowing him to consecutively use Soul-Severing Arrow consuming a thousand times mana ten times.
Although compared to before, ten times was already a lot, in reality, it was still very few.
Therefore, every time he used Soul-Severing Arrowconsuming a thousand times mana, it was best to coordinate it with Eternal Night Stealth to maximize its effect.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
-80.05 million! (Critical Hit) -120 million! (Critical Hit)
-80.05 million! (Critical Hit) -120 million! (Critical Hit)
...
In an instant, the Earth Vein Stone Giant King's HP lost close to half.
"Eh, it can actually only deal three-quarters of the damage." Su Yu was somewhat surprised.
This was the first time he encountered a BOSS with final damage reduction after entering the Blood Trial, which just showed it was truly worthy of being an epic-tier BOSS.
Lightning Arrow!
The longbow in Su Yu's hand was drawn into a full moon, and a Lightning Arrow filled with destructive aura instantly tore through the air.
Bang!
-63.71 million! (Critical Hit)
Sizzle!
-63.71 million! (Critical Hit)
-61.80 million! (Critical Hit)
...
Electric arcs danced wildly, and the HP of all five stone giants instantly dropped by a chunk.
Roar ~ Roar ~
The five stone giants awakened from their slumber, their entire bodies radiating a terrifying aura.
Especially the Earth Vein Stone Giant; its entire body was shrouded in a khaki-colored light, and a heart-shuddering energy fluctuation seemed to be brewing within it.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The arrows in Su Yu's hands were continuous, all surging towards the Earth Vein Stone Giant.
"It's actually unable to deal damage to it. Has it entered Phase 2?" Su Yu looked at this scene in surprise.
He didn't expect the Earth Vein Stone Giant to trigger Phase 2 at 50% HP.
This was his first time fighting an epic-tier BOSS, and he was not clear about the mechanics of epic-tier BOSSes.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Although the Earth Vein Stone Giant stood in place without moving, the other four Guardian Stone Giants moved at the same time.
Skills radiating massive energy fluctuations came flooding towards Su Yu to cover the sky and earth.
The Thunder Wings behind Su Yu shook, bursting his movement speed to the extreme as he frantically dodged.
However, these skills were all large-scale area-of-effect skills; even though Su Yu's movement speed was extremely fast, he could not completely evade them.
Of course, his shield value currently reached as high as 400 to 500 million, so even if he was hit by these skills, it wouldn't cause any impact.
Blood Gods Eye!
A flash of crimson crossed the depths of Su Yu's eyes, and his target was that Wood Guardian Stone Giant.
Team fights can be lost, but the healer must die!
This Wood Guardian Stone Giant had just woken up and started healing the Earth Vein Stone Giant; who could tolerate this.
Originally, the Earth Vein Stone Giant's HP was only 50%, but after being healed by it, it had now soared to 55%. If dragged out a bit longer, it might even fully recover.
-1.858 billion! (Critical Hit)
A huge damage number floated above the Wood Guardian Stone Giant's head.
Its HP instantly dropped to only 20%; this triggered its Phase 2, and its HP was locked.
In reality, it should have only taken around 900 million damage.
After the Wood Guardian Stone Giant triggered Phase 2, a green domain instantly unfolded.
The next instant, the HP of all stone giants began to recover.
Soul-Severing Arrow!
The longbow in Su Yu's hand was drawn into a full moon, and a Soul-Severing Arrow consuming a hundred times mana tore through the air toward the Fire Guardian Stone Giant.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
A giant ice spear, a giant fireball, and a giant wind blade sped toward the Soul-Severing Arrow simultaneously from three different directions.
Boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Soul-Severing Arrow collided with the three skills, bursting forth with waves of roars as massive energy fluctuations scattered in all directions.
Puff ~
The power of the Soul-Severing Arrow far exceeded these three skills, easily piercing through them.
However, to pierce through these three skills, the might of the Soul-Severing Arrow was also slightly weakened.
Swish!
A giant flame shield appeared on the body of the Fire Guardian Stone Giant.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
-65.55 million! (Critical Hit)
-65.55 million! (Critical Hit)
...
This arrow directly shattered the flame shield on the Fire Guardian Stone Giant's body and caused its HP to drop by nearly thirty percent.
If it were an entirely unweakened Soul-Severing Arrow, it could have dealt at least another twenty percent more damage.
Hum!
Suddenly, the energy brewing within the Earth Vein Stone Giant surged out.
Su Yu only felt the gravity of the ground violently increase, pulling him down continuously.
Rumble!
Su Yu landed heavily on the ground, and he could feel his flexibility plummeting, with both his movement speed and attack speed receiving significant weakening.
Following that, waves of energy fluctuations centered around the Earth Vein Stone Giant surged toward Su Yuwave after wave, resembling ocean waves.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Each energy fluctuation could deal over five million damage to Su Yu.
"Minor issue!" Feeling the damage from the energy fluctuations, Su Yu felt much more at ease in his heart.
However, for safety's sake, he directly spent eight refreshing marks to refresh the passive effect of Power of the Brave.
This way, even if he encountered sudden high burst damage, he would be fearless, having at least a life-saving trump card to fall back on.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Su Yu simply stopped moving around and directly began attacking the nearby Fire Guardian Stone Giant.
As long as it wasn't a single-target attack skill, there was nothing to dodge.
Two seconds later, the Fire Guardian Stone Giant also entered Phase 2.
Its output capability directly surged by a tier, and even its AOE skills could deal over four million damage to Su Yu.
It was almost catching up to the Earth Vein Stone Giant's energy fluctuations.
"Next is your turn." Su Yu shifted his gaze to the Ice Guardian Stone Giant.
Right now, the Earth Vein Stone Giant, Wood Guardian Stone Giant, and Fire Guardian Stone Giant were all in Phase 2, in an invincible state.
Only the Ice Guardian Stone Giant and Wind Guardian Stone Giant could continue to attack.
Right now, a single Soul-Severing Arrow consuming a hundred times mana from Su Yu could wipe out about thirty percent of a Guardian Stone Giant's HP.
In less than three seconds, he could make a Guardian Stone Giant enter Phase 2.
Soon, all five stone giants entered Phase 2.
At this time, Su Yu could only passively endure the damage without being able to deal any damage to them.
He could only wait for the Earth Vein Stone Giant or Wood Guardian Stone Giant to end Phase 2.
The two of them entered Phase 2 first, so they would inevitably be the earliest to end Phase 2.
Chapter 151: Entering Phase Three!
Skill after skill surged toward Su Yu like a violent storm.
After the Fire Guardian Stone Giant, Ice Guardian Stone Giant, and Wind Protection Stone Giant entered Phase Two, not only did their output capability skyrocket, but even their skill casting speed became much faster.
Su Yu constantly adjusted his positioning, occasionally using Soul-Severing Arrow to shatter their single-target burst skills.
In addition, Su Yu was constantly observing the status of the Wood Guardian Stone Giant and the Earth Vein Stone Giant.
Under the continuous healing of the Wood Guardian Stone Giant, the Earth Vein Stone Giant's health had now recovered to over 70%.
Even the Wood Guardian Stone Giant's own health had recovered to over 50%.
Including the other three Guardian Stone Giants, their health was also constantly recovering.
Right now, Su Yu could not inflict damage on them and could only watch helplessly as their health continuously recovered.
Bang, bang, bang!
The frequency of the energy fluctuations erupted by the Earth Vein Stone Giant was getting higher and higher, and now Su Yu had to endure about three energy fluctuations per second.
Generally speaking, without life-saving skills, one simply couldn't withstand such terrifying sustained damage.
However, Su Yu's shield value was as high as several billion, so even if the frequency of the energy fluctuations increased by several tiers, he had nothing to fear.
After about a dozen seconds,
the health of the Earth Vein Stone Giant and the four Guardian Stone Giants was completely restored, and at the same time, the green domain summoned by the Wood Guardian Stone Giant also disappeared along with it.
Seeing this scene, a trace of joy flashed through Su Yu's eyes.
Swish!
He directly shot a tentative arrow toward the Wood Guardian Stone Giant.
Bang!
-3.45 million! (Critical Hit)
"The Wood Guardian Stone Giant's Phase Two has finally ended." A smile curled the corners of Su Yu's mouth.
He had waited far too long for this moment.
Eternal Night Stealth!
Su Yu's figure instantly disappeared on the spot.
The next instant, a Soul-Severing Arrow consuming a thousand times the mana value instantly emerged from the void, speeding toward the Wood Guardian Stone Giant.
The four Guardian Stone Giants simultaneously launched attacks toward the Soul-Severing Arrow, trying to stop this arrow.
Rip~
The Soul-Severing Arrow directly tore through all the skills blocking it. With the blessing of Eternal Night Stealth, the terror of the arrow's might far surpassed the previous Soul-Severing Arrow that consumed a hundred times the mana value.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Soul-Severing Arrow consuming a thousand times the mana value, combined with Eternal Night Stealth, instantly emptied the Wood Guardian Stone Giant's health.
In the blink of an eye, the Wood Guardian Stone Giant's body turned into a bloody light and dissipated, leaving behind a head-sized blood crystal in place.
Swish, swish, swish!
Su Yu's arrows were incessant in his hands, all surging toward the Fire Guardian Stone Giant.
The Fire Guardian Stone Giant was the second Guardian Stone Giant to enter Phase Two, and it would be the next one to die.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Wave after wave of energy fluctuations erupted by the Earth Vein Stone Giant frantically bombarded Su Yu's body.
Su Yu immediately felt the changes within them.
The damage caused by the energy fluctuations was even higher, about twenty-five percent higher than before.
This was perhaps related to the death of the Wood Guardian Stone Giant.
After a few seconds, the Fire Guardian Stone Giant's Phase Two ended.
Su Yu found that his basic attacks could inflict damage on it, so he directly shot a Soul-Severing Arrow that consumed a hundred times the mana value.
In less than three seconds, the Fire Guardian Stone Giant's health directly dropped to zero.
Su Yu harvested another head-sized Level 60 Legendary blood crystal.
At the same time, the damage of the energy fluctuations erupted by the Earth Vein Stone Giant increased once again.
The magnitude of the increase was about the same as when the Wood Guardian Stone Giant died last time.
Being familiar with the process, Su Yu quickly killed both the Ice Guardian Stone Giant and the Wind ProtectionStone Giant.
After this wave, he harvested a total of four Level 60 Legendary blood crystals, gaining massive rewards.
Of course, what he anticipated the most was still the Epic-grade BOSS first-kill reward and the Level 60 Epic blood crystal obtained after killing the Earth Vein Stone Giant.
After all four Guardian Stone Giants died, the damage of the energy fluctuations erupted by the Earth Vein Stone Giant increased by another tier.
At the very beginning, each energy fluctuation could only inflict about 5 million damage to Su Yu, but now it had reached around 10 million.
Fortunately, Su Yu's current shield value was a full several billion; otherwise, even the ten-second invincibility time from the passive effect of Power of the Brave would not be enough.
After a dozen seconds,
the earthy-yellow light on the Earth Vein Stone Giantfinally disappeared.
Swish!
Su Yu decisively shot a tentative arrow.
Bang!
-2.58 million! (Critical Hit)
"Good! Now it's your turn." A sharp gleam flashed through Su Yu's eyes.
This Earth Vein Stone Giant's invincibility time was too long, and he had already grown somewhat impatient from waiting.
Eternal Night Stealth!
Su Yu's figure instantly disappeared from the spot, and the long bow in his hand was drawn into a full moon. A Soul-Severing Arrow consuming a thousand times the mana value instantly tore through the air and left.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
-80.05 million! (Critical Hit) -120 million! (Critical Hit)
-80.05 million! (Critical Hit) -120 million! (Critical Hit)
...
In a split second, the Earth Vein Stone Giant's health dropped from full health to close to one-half.
Swish, swish, swish!
Su Yu's arrows were incessant in his hands, surging toward the Earth Vein Stone Giant like a violent storm.
Boom!
The Earth Vein Stone Giant fiercely smashed against the ground.
Countless stone cones emerged from underground, and at the same time, countless meteorites fell from the sky.
Caught in a pincer attack from front and back, Su Yualready had nowhere to escape!
Boom, boom, boom!
Terrifying damage numbers surfaced on Su Yu's body, and every strike could cause him to lose tens of millions of shield value.
Coupled with the energy fluctuations that had never stopped, the damage Su Yu received per second was even as high as 60 to 70 million.
However, Su Yu's inner heart remained completely calm. With the shield value he currently possessed, he could at least hold out for over a minute.
If the Earth Vein Stone Giant didn't have an invincibility skill, a minute would be enough to let it die several times over.
After about a dozen seconds,
Su Yu stopped the actions in his hands, looking with a solemn expression at the Earth Vein Stone Giant not far away.
At this moment, the Earth Vein Stone Giant's health happened to have only 20% remaining.
"Has this entered Phase Three?" Su Yu was thoughtful.
This was the first time he had seen a BOSS have a Phase Three, but this was not hard to understand.
After all, Legendary-grade BOSSes would enter Phase Two when they had 20% health remaining.
And since Epic-grade BOSSes entered Phase Two when they had 50% health remaining, it was very reasonable for it to enter Phase Three when it had 20% health remaining.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Energy fluctuations bombarded Su Yu's body one after another, but he didn't care in the least.
At this moment, all his attention was on the Earth Vein Stone Giant, and he eagerly wanted to know what kind of changes would happen to the Earth Vein Stone Giant in Phase Three.
Chapter 152: Killing the Earth Vein Stone Giant!
An ink-thick radiance gushed out from within the Earth Vein Stone Giant, like countless black snakes frantically spreading along its torso.
A set of pitch-black, menacing armor was taking shape on the Earth Vein Stone Giant at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Dark, mysterious patterns were engraved on the armor, breathing with alternating light and shadow like a living creature.
Roar!
The Earth Vein Stone Giant let out a heaven-shaking roar, and a huge ink-colored spear condensed in its hand.
[Writing up to this point, I hope readers remember our domain name: Taiwan Novel Network is super awesome, ẗ ẅ ḳ ä ṅ. ċ ö ṁ is super great]
Swish!
The Earth Vein Stone Giant threw it hard, and the ink-colored spear cut through the void instantly like a black lightning bolt.
Su Yu's Thunder Wings vibrated behind his back, soaring his movement speed to the extreme as he swept off to the side.
Swish! Swish!
The Earth Vein Stone Giant's movements in its hands never stopped, and ink-colored spears continuously attacked Su Yu.
Su Yu's gaze was calm, and he used limit positioning to dodge the ink-colored spears thrown by the Earth Vein Stone Giant.
Even though his shield was extremely thick, he absolutely could not underestimate any single attack.
In case this attack came with true damage and he capsized in the gutter at the end, that would be awkward.
Whoosh!
Seizing the opportunity, Su Yu resolutely fired a tentative arrow.
Bang!
-1.72 million! (Critical Hit)
The next instant, Su Yu found that his HP had also decreased by 860,000.
"Counter-injury?" A hint of solemnity flashed across Su Yu's eyes.
After entering the third phase, the Earth Vein Stone Giantnot only had its final damage reduction increased to 50%, but it also gained an additional 50% true counter-injury effect.
If it were just a normal counter-injury effect, it would be fine; he could tank it with his shield.
The true counter-injury effect could ignore shields and defenses, making it simply the nemesis of output-class classes.
After all, trading injuries for injuries gave output-class classes no advantage at all.
Under the blessing of the Power of the Brave, Su Yu had less than 10 million HP. Even if the Earth Vein Stone Giantonly had 20% of its HP left, that was still a full 500 million.
The difference between the two was at least fifty times.
"In that case, let's slowly grind it down with basic attacks." Su Yu shook his head helplessly.
Even if he used the Soul-Severing Arrow which consumed normal mana, a single arrow could deal over 20 million damage to the Earth Vein Stone Giant.
A counter-injury of 10 million could instantly clear his HP and trigger his life-saving trump card.
Su Yu did not want to waste his life-saving trump card.
After all, the passive effect of the Power of the Braverequired a full eight refresh marks to reset. Once used now, he wouldn't have high-tier life-saving trump cards in the short term.
This was something he could not accept.
If he used basic attacks, he could suck his HP back via his class talent.
After dealing damage to the Earth Vein Stone Giant, it would first trigger the healing effect, and then he would suffer the counter-injury.
This meant that as long as he kept using basic attacks, his HP could be stably maintained above 90%.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Arrows kept flying from Su Yu's hands. Under the blessing of the Power of the Brave, he could now fire a dozen arrows per second.
Every second, the Earth Vein Stone Giant would suffer over 20 million damage, close to 1% of its max HP.
Swish! Swish!
Ink-colored spears brushed past Su Yu's side.
Suddenly, an ink-colored spear burst apart violently, and shards of the spear bombarded Su Yu's shield.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
-550,000!
-570,000!
...
In a split second, this consumed tens of millions of shield value from Su Yu's shield.
"Fortunately it wasn't true damage, otherwise it would have been dangerous." A smile curled the corners of Su Yu's mouth.
Since the damage dealt by the ink-colored spears wasn't true damage, he could rest easy.
At this rhythm, the Earth Vein Stone Giant's death was merely a matter of time.
After the badge of the brave legend was upgraded to divine grade, the active effect of the Power of the Bravecould last for two minutes.
The remaining time was completely enough for Su Yu to kill the Earth Vein Stone Giant.
Soon, under Su Yu's frantic attacks, the Earth Vein Stone Giant's HP was finally completely emptied.
Rumble!
The Earth Vein Stone Giant's massive body could no longer bear it, crashing to the ground and stirring up a cloud of dust.
The next instant, the Earth Vein Stone Giant's body turned into a bloody light and dissipated, and a blood crystal two circles larger than a human head quietly emerged.
"This should be the most troublesome BOSS I've encountered recently." Su Yu felt a deep sense of emotion in his heart.
However, the one that dealt the most damage to him was still the Demon-Scale Giant Tiger; that was the most insidious BOSS he had ever encountered.
If he didn't have his life-saving trump card, he would have already capsized in the gutter.
This made Su Yu even more aware of the importance of life-saving trump cards, which could greatly increase his fault tolerance.
Following that, a familiar system prompt sounded in his ears.
[The Blue Star World Announcement is about to take place. Do you need to hide your nickname?]
"Do not hide!" Su Yu said in a deep voice.
Immediately, three consecutive world announcements rang in the ears of all players in Blue Star.
[Blue Star World Announcement: Congratulations to the Holy Dragon Empire player Yu Huang for becoming the first player to solo an Epic-grade BOSS. Special reward: Divine-grade all-class universal skill book * 1, gold coins * 3000, reputation * 1000.] X3
...
"What? Did I hear wrong? Big Boss Yu Huang soloed an Epic-grade BOSS?"
"Fucking awesome! Just how terrifying is Big Boss Yu Huang's strength right now?"
"I suspect that even if all players in the entire Blue Star Civilization added together, they wouldn't be Big Boss Yu Huang's match."
"That's normal. We probably can't even break Big Boss Yu Huang's defense; it's useless no matter how many people there are."
"Right now, Big Boss Yu Huang is only missing the first kills of Legendary and Divine-grade BOSSes. When do you guys think Big Boss Yu Huang can take down the first kill of a Divine-grade BOSS?"
"I think it should be impossible in the short term. After all, this is a Divine-grade BOSS; just hearing about it makes it sound like an existence terrifying to the extreme."
"Heh, does an Epic-grade BOSS not sound terrifying to the extreme? I fucking can't even beat a Bronze-grade BOSS."
"Yo, brother, did you go farm the hard difficulty Goblin Lair dungeon?"
"Anyway, the stronger Big Boss Yu Huang is, the higher the chance our Blue Star Civilization has of surviving. This is a good thing."
"..."
Countless Holy Dragon Empire players discussed animatedly; they were completely unable to understand Su Yu's strength anymore.
...
Meanwhile, deep in a canyon hundreds of kilometers away from Su Yu,
Longyuan, leading the core members of Longyuan Pavilion, was besieging a huge blood-red giant wolf.
"Everyone pay attention, the Blood Shadow Wolf King is about to enter the third phase. Remember, absolutely do not let any single Blood Shadow Wolf go," Longyuan said in a deep voice.
As his voice fell, the Blood Shadow Wolf King let out a howl towards the sky that tore through the clouds.
Its HP was locked at 20%, entering the third phase.
Seeing this, the crowd of Longyuan Pavilion immediately stopped the actions in their hands and began adjusting their positioning according to previous arrangements.
After entering the third phase, the Blood Shadow Wolf King was in an invincible state, but it would not launch active attacks; instead, it would continuously summon Blood Shadow Wolves.
Chapter 153: Undying True Body!
Hum!
With a spatial distortion, the first batch of Blood Shadow Wolves appeared in everyone's line of sight.
"That's not right! How did it turn into three hundred Blood Shadow Wolves!?" A look of disbelief flashed across Longyuan's eyes.
When he came last time, the Blood Shadow Wolf Kingcould only summon one hundred Blood Shadow Wolves per batch, so how did it become three hundred per batch this time?
This boost is simply too massive.
At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded and could only bite the bullet and begin attacking these Blood Shadow Wolves.
Roar~ Roar~ Roar~
The Blood Shadow Wolf King summoned Blood Shadow Wolves at a terrifyingly fast speed, able to summon ten times in a single second.
One Blood Shadow Wolf after another, their eyes glowing crimson, charged toward the members of Longyuan Pavilion.
The members of Longyuan Pavilion also held nothing back, hurling wave after wave of area-of-effect skills at the Blood Shadow Wolves as if they cost nothing.
If the Blood Shadow Wolves were not killed within three seconds, they would transform into potent nourishing supplements for the Blood Shadow Wolf King.
Not only could this restore the Blood Shadow Wolf King's HP, but it could also comprehensively enhance its attributes.
In just over thirty seconds, the Blood Shadow Wolf Kingsummoned a full one hundred thousand Blood Shadow Wolves.
Every single Blood Shadow Wolf was an authentic Level 60 Blood Beast summon, boasting a staggering twelve million HP.
Even with the members of Longyuan Pavilion attacking with all their might, there were still many that slipped through the net.
There were even more fish slipping through the net than when Longyuan came to challenge the Blood Shadow Wolf King last time.
"Damn it!" Longyuan watched this scene, his eyes turning red.
He had originally thought that this time he would definitely be able to successfully kill the Blood Shadow Wolf King, but he didn't expect to flip over in the third phase once again.
This Blood Shadow Wolf King was simply too crafty.
Longyuan never expected that the number of Blood Shadow Wolves summoned by the Blood Shadow Wolf King each time was actually related to the number of challengers.
This meant that wanting to kill the Blood Shadow Wolf King by simply stacking player numbers was useless; they could only rely on quality.
The number of people was best kept around three, and each person's strength had to be of the absolute top-tier kind.
Longyuan took a deep breath. This challenge against the Blood Shadow Wolf King was doomed to failure, and they could only retreat for now.
Otherwise, once the sixty-second time limit passed and the Blood Shadow Wolf King could launch attacks, no one would be able to withstand a single move from it.
With this thought settled, Longyuan hesitated no longer and shouted in a deep voice, "Stop fighting, everyone retreat!"
Hearing this, the members of Longyuan Pavilionimmediately began retreating in the direction they came from.
The Blood Shadow Wolf King would not leave its territory; as long as they exited this area, they would be safe.
Soon, the members of Longyuan Pavilion returned to the cave where they had initially gathered.
"You guys go explore other areas of the Misty Canyon first, collect blood crystals, and if you discover any traces of Yu Huang, notify me immediately."
"I'll figure out a way to deal with this Blood Shadow Wolf King," Longyuan said in a deep voice.
"Understood." Panshi, Lingshuang, and the others spoke in unison.
There were a total of eleven people in Longyuan Pavilionwho could currently enter the Inner Layer, among whom Longyuan generally traveled alone.
Panshi and Lingshuang each led a team.
Soon, Panshi and Lingshuang left with their respective teams, leaving only Longyuan alone in the cave.
"Sigh, it seems that my Longyuan Pavilion alone cannot swallow the secrets of the Misty Canyon; we can only cooperate with Xueli and Xing Xuan." Longyuan let out a long sigh.
Longyuan Pavilion, the Blood Demon Alliance, and Xingluo Pavilion were in an alliance relationship.
Although Xueli and Xing Xuan's strength wasn't as powerful as Jian Lingxiao and Ying Yang, they weren't much weaker either.
At the very least, they were figures of the Divine Child grade.
"However, there's no need to contact the two of them so quickly for now. Let's wait until my Longyuan Pavilionfinishes pioneering all the other areas of the Misty Canyon first."
"As for now—" A sharp glint flashed across Longyuan's eyes, "We can go settle accounts with Yu Huang."
Yu Huang had previously snatched their Longyuan Pavilion's blood crystals, and was currently still inside the Misty Canyon with high probability.
After all, there were still quite a few unpioneered areas in the Misty Canyon, so Yu Huang definitely wouldn't leave this place so easily.
Swish!
Thinking of this, Longyuan no longer lingered and began exploring other areas of the Misty Canyon while searching for Yu Huang's traces.
...
"A God-grade universal skill book for all classes?" A trace of joy flashed across Su Yu's eyes.
This was his first time acquiring a God-grade skill book, and although it wasn't exclusive to a God-grade class, it was still enough to drive countless people crazy.
Without any hesitation, Su Yu directly used that God-grade universal skill book for all classes in his backpack.
[Congratulations on acquiring the God-grade skill: Undying True Body!]
[Lv1 Undying True Body (God-grade): Active skill. After activating Undying True Body, you will enter an invincible state lasting for 10 seconds;
at the same time, all damage you receive during the invincible state's duration will be stored. Within 10 seconds after the invincible state ends, you can designate the reflected damage to one target or multiple targets.
Consumes 10,000 mana points, cooldown time is 8 hours.]
"To think it's another God-grade life-saving trump card." The joy in Su Yu's eyes was about to overflow.
Life-saving trump cards, and God-grade ones at that, no one would ever think they had too many.
It could be said that the more life-saving trump cards of this kind, the better.
At the same time, besides being a life-saving trump card, the Undying True Body skill was also an offensive skill.
All damage received during the duration of the invincible state could be stored and eventually reflected outward.
This was definitely a sharp weapon for challenging higher-level opponents, especially when facing opponents with high attack power and thin HP.
Accumulate ten seconds of damage, and then one wave of reflected damage would directly counter-kill them.
"Let's upgrade it to Level 11 first to check out the skill characteristics." Su Yu nodded slightly.
According to his previous experience, for any active skill, upgrading it by one more level had the highest cost-effectiveness.
Under normal circumstances, it could reduce some skill cooldown time compared to the previous level.
Every level upgrade for a God-grade skill consumed nine times the skill points of a Common Grade skill. Su Yu spent 495 skill points, directly upgrading Undying True Bodyfrom Level 1 to Level 11 in one go.
[Lv11 Undying True Body (God-grade): Active skill. After activating Undying True Body, you will enter an invincible state lasting for 11 seconds;
at the same time, all damage you receive during the invincible state's duration will be stored. Within 11 seconds after the invincible state ends, you can designate the reflected damage to one target or multiple targets.
Consumes 20,000 mana points, cooldown time is 7 hours and 40 minutes.]
[Lv10 Trait: When taking fatal damage, HP is forcibly retained at 1 point, and Undying True Body is actively triggered with no consumption and an independent cooldown of 10 days.]
"This is rather interesting. The Level 10 trait of Undying True Body turns out to be an independent cooldown." Su Yu nodded in satisfaction.
This meant he possessed an additional life-saving trump card. Although the cooldown was a bit long, it was still a God-grade life-saving trump card after all.
A God-grade life-saving trump card that could take effect even when facing top experts!
Chapter 154 Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor!
"I'm still missing nine Epic-tier Bosses, and I don't know if there are still that many Epic-tier Bosses in the Inner Layerof the Blood Trial," Su Yu thought to himself.
The first stage of the Shadow God Archer class advancement quest required him to kill 10 Epic-tier Bosses of level 50 or above.
The Earth Vein Stone Giant happened to meet the requirement, directly advancing his quest progress by ten percent.
Fortunately, this quest had no time limit, otherwise Su Yuwould have had a headache.
For him right now, the hardest part was finding 10 Epic-tier Bosses.
Once he completed this quest, he would be able to obtain the exclusive weapon for the Shadow God Archer.
This exclusive weapon possessed the potential to advance into Super God-tier equipment, and it was definitely a weapon that could accompany him for a lifetime.
"Continue!"
With a shake of the wings behind Su Yu's back, he flew forward, already eager to find the next Epic-tier Boss.
If he couldn't even complete the first stage of the Shadow God Archer class advancement quest in the Blood Trial,
then once he returned to the Initial Continent of the Blue Star Civilization, finding Epic-tier Bosses would probably be even more difficult.
At least out in the wild, there was a high probability that there were no Bosses of such high grade.
After all, monsters were actually an important resource, and the Initial Continent of the Blue Star Civilization might not necessarily have monster resources of such high grade.
Su Yu continued deeper along the canyon passage, and one Blood Beast after another turned into blood crystals under his Lightning Arrow.
This entire area belonged to unpioneered territory, and the density of Blood Beasts was extremely high, which also caused the number of blood crystals in Su Yu's backpack to skyrocket continuously.
The Blood Trial points he harvested from entering the Inner Layer this time had already exceeded 22 million.
Nearly half of them were provided by the five stone giants.
A level 60 Epic blood crystal could be exchanged for 576,000 Blood Trial points, which became 2.88 million after calculating the point coefficient bonus.
Coupled with four level 60 Legendary blood crystals, the value of just these five blood crystals already exceeded 10 million Blood Trial points.
At the current pace, Su Yu would soon gather 100 million Blood Trial points and complete the Blood God Trial IIquest.
Suddenly, a huge pillar of blood-red light soared into the sky from the depths of the canyon, dyeing half the sky red.
Immediately afterwards, a system notification sounded in Su Yu's ear.
[You have been marked by the Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor. You cannot actively leave the Inner Layer within one hour.]
"Huh? What happened?" Su Yu was somewhat surprised.
He had never met the Blood Shadow Wolf Emperorbefore; why was he suddenly marked by it?
And he couldn't leave the Inner Layer within one hour either.
"It's probably related to this pillar of blood-red light. I'll know once I go over and take a look." A flash of coldness crossed Su Yu's eyes.
This Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor actually dared to mark him; it seemed it didn't want to live anymore.
He just happened to not know where high-tier Bosses were; just by hearing its name, the Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor clearly wasn't of a low grade—at the very least, it was an Epic-tier Boss.
With a shake of the wings behind his back, Su Yu's movement speed soared to the extreme as he flew straight toward the pillar of blood-red light in the depths of the canyon.
...
"Marked by the Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor?" Listening to the system notification ringing in his ear, Longyuan's gaze turned solemn.
This so-called Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor was most likely the previous Blood Shadow Wolf King. Could it be that it triggered some kind of mechanism and advanced?
This was dangerous!
The Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor marking him was probably coming to exact revenge on him.
He couldn't even beat the Blood Shadow Wolf King before its advancement, let alone the Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor after its advancement.
Thinking of this, Longyuan immediately opened his friend panel, intending to ask Panshi and Lingshuang if they had been marked by the Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor.
As a result, the moment he opened the friend panel, messages from Panshi and Lingshuang had already been sent over.
Sure enough, without any exception, everyone in Longyuan Pavilion had been marked by the Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor, which made him even more certain of his guess.
The Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor was most likely coming to exact revenge on them.
Without hesitation, Longyuan directly arranged for everyone in Longyuan Pavilion to start retreating and leave the Misty Canyon.
As long as they endured this one hour, they could smoothly leave the Inner Layer.
A dozen minutes later.
On their way retreating outward, everyone in Longyuan Pavilion gathered together once again.
They had only separated for a short while, so the distance between each other wasn't very far.
"This beast sure holds a grudge. I didn't expect the first thing it did after advancing would be to mark us," Panshicursed and muttered.
"This Blood Trial is simply too bizarre. Such a strange thing as a Boss advancing can actually happen." Lingshuang's expression was solemn.
She only had one life-saving trump card, which she had used up the first time she dealt with the Blood Shadow Wolf King.
If she were chased down by the Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor, she would probably be the first one to be killed.
Fortunately, her trial protection was still there, so she wouldn't be directly eliminated.
"This Blood Trial definitely has a massive opportunity. We can't swallow it alone; we must join forces with other factions," Longyuan said in a deep voice.
Originally, he had planned to unite with the Blood Demon Alliance and Xingluo Pavilion to deal with the Blood Shadow Wolf King together, but now it seemed a bit strenuous.
Of course, if that really didn't work out, he could also unite with the Myriad Sword Sect and Sky Eagle Territory, or even more factions.
As long as there were sufficient benefits, there was nothing that could not be cooperated on.
Suddenly, far ahead of them, a streak of thunder light came galloping toward them at high speed.
Boom!
The thunder light seemed to have discovered them as well, stopping abruptly and hovering quietly in the void.
"Huh?" Longyuan looked at the figure in the extreme distance, his eyes lighting up.
"It's Yu Huang!"
"It's him, that's right!" Chilian and Tie Yue spoke one after another.
"Since we've run into him, let's just take care of him along the way." Longyuan's voice was icy.
According to his previous judgment, Yu Huang had already used up at least one life-saving trump card in the short term.
Generally speaking, it was already good for a Tier 2 professional to have one or two high-tier life-saving trump cards.
Chances were that Yu Huang didn't even have a single life-saving trump card on him right now.
Missing this opportunity, once Yu Huang's life-saving trump cards recovered, trying to kill him would be even more troublesome.
Strike while he's down!
Yu Huang was the biggest obstacle to him taking first place in the Blood Trial; as long as he could wipe out Yu Huang, first place in the Blood Trial would be within his grasp.
Swish!
Longyuan took the lead, charging toward Su Yu like lightning, and the others refused to show weakness, following closely behind.
"People from Longyuan Pavilion? The person leading is Longyuan?" A sharp gleam flashed through Su Yu's eyes.
As early as when he had just entered the Blood Trial, he had heard of Longyuan.
As the only person in the past few decades on the Tianlong Continent to reach first place on the hidden dragon ranking, Longyuan's strength and talent were beyond doubt.
If not for him, first place on the Blood Trial leaderboard this time would most likely be within Longyuan's grasp.
He knew that he would sooner or later fight a battle against Longyuan; after all, no one could possibly give up the reward for first place in the Blood Trial.
It was just that he hadn't expected this day to come so quickly.
"Kill!" Looking at the members of Longyuan Pavilionwhistling toward him, a hint of murderous intent flashed through Su Yu's eyes.
With a shake of the Thunder Wings behind his back, he streaked straight toward the members of Longyuan Pavilion.
Chapter 155: Charge! Brutal Kill!
Eternal Night Stealth!
Su Yu's figure instantly vanished into thin air, and his movement speed surged by another notch.
Just when Su Yu was less than three kilometers away from the members of Longyuan Pavilion,
he didn't hesitate to use a Refresh Mark, instantly resetting the active effect of Power of the Brave.
Power of the Brave!
Boom!
Endless golden flames instantly ignited across Su Yu's body, and his aura soared, making him look like a God of War bathing in fire.
Facing Longyuan, Su Yu did not dare to lower his guard.
Furthermore, aside from Longyuan, there were ten other core members of Longyuan Pavilion.
Since they were able to enter the Inner Layer, their individual strengths were naturally not weak.
"Using a buff skill right off the bat?" Longyuan's lips curled into a cold sneer.
Su Yu currently only had a level 12 stealth skill, which was completely useless under Longyuan's level 15 anti-stealth level.
Longyuan saw through the changes happening to Su Yu at a glance.
Swish!
The staff in Longyuan's hand flashed with light, and a dark glow erupted from all over his body. This was his buff skill, which could drastically increase his final damage boost.
His overall attributes had already reached the limit of his current life level, so ordinary buff skills were no longer useful to him.
Whoosh!
The longbow in Su Yu's hand was drawn into a full moon, and a Soul-Severing Arrow consuming a thousand times the mana value instantly tore through the void.
Under the enhancement of Eternal Night Stealth, the power of the Soul-Severing Arrow was several times stronger than usual.
"Such a fast arrow." A hint of solemnity appeared in Longyuan's eyes.
He could feel the terrifying energy fluctuations emanating from the arrow, and could only conclude that he had still underestimated Su Yu.
Although the aura Su Yu displayed wasn't strong, his means of attack were extremely terrifying.
No wonder he could wipe out Ying Yang and the numerous core members of Sky Eagle Territory.
The staff in Longyuan's hand flashed with light, and a dozen Shadow Orbs exuding powerful auras flew out.
Behind him, the members of Longyuan Pavilion also successively unleashed a series of powerful single-target skills toward the Soul-Severing Arrow.
Boom~ Boom~
Several skills collided, and countless energy fluctuations dispersed, blowing almost everything around them to smithereens.
Pfft~
The Soul-Severing Arrow directly pierced through all the skills blocking it.
Under the enhancement of Su Yu's class talent, all the damage he dealt was true damage.
This also meant that his energy level was extremely high, something ordinary skills simply could not resist.
Longyuan's pupils contracted slightly as he watched this scene.
He hadn't expected that even with so many of them striking simultaneously, they still couldn't stop the arrow shot by Su Yu, only managing to wear away most of its power.
Holding a massive shield, Panshi rushed straight out, blocking the flight path of the Soul-Severing Arrow.
Bang!
The Soul-Severing Arrow smashed into the shield, and the terrifying force directly blasted Panshi flying, instantly forcing out his life-saving trump card.
"What... What kind of damage is this?" Panshi's eyes were filled with disbelief.
You must know that most of the power of this arrow had already been worn away; how could it still deal such high damage?
Even the Divine Son Longyuan couldn't dish out such terrifying damage.
Swish!
The Thunder Wings behind Su Yu vibrated, and he glided off to the side.
The next instant, a Soul-Severing Arrow consuming a thousand times the mana value came at the members of Longyuan Pavilion from the side.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Arrows continuously flew from Su Yu's hands, enveloping the members of Longyuan Pavilion like an inescapable net.
The members of Longyuan Pavilion also went all out, hurling skill after skill toward Su Yu.
Both sides bombarded each other endlessly, with terrifying energy fluctuations everywhere. The trees, weeds, stones, and so on on the ground were almost all turned to dust.
Su Yu looked at the members of Longyuan Pavilion with a solemn expression. Without using Eternal Night Stealthand the Soul-Severing Arrow consuming a thousand times the mana value, it would be very difficult for his attacks to cause any damage to them.
Basically, his attacks would be worn away midway.
Of course, the members of Longyuan Pavilion similarly had no chance of harming him, and both sides fell into a stalemate.
"Direct charge! Brutal kill!" A sharp glint flashed through Su Yu's eyes.
They were currently attacking from a distance of one or two kilometers apart, so it was naturally easy to block.
But if he charged directly and attacked right in front of them, with the distance being short enough, there would be no chance for them to block at all.
Thinking of this, Su Yu no longer hesitated and directly activated his newly acquired divine-tier skill, Undying True Body!
A level 11 Undying True Body could allow him to enter an invincible state for 11 seconds.
Eternal Night Stealth!
Su Yu's figure instantly vanished. Although Su Yu was still clearly visible in Longyuan's eyes, Su Yu's purpose was never to turn invisible, but to increase his movement speed.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Braving the continuous attacks from the members of Longyuan Pavilion, Su Yu sprinted toward them.
"Has Yu Huang lost his mind? Does he think closing the distance will allow him to pose a threat to us?"
Longyuan watched this scene in some surprise, but the actions in his hands grew increasingly fierce.
He was well aware that the duration of an invincible state was not fixed.
If one suffered too much damage, the duration of the invincible state would also decrease.
For example, an invincible state that could normally last for 10 seconds might end at 7 seconds or even 5 seconds if too much damage was taken.
"An Archer wasting their own advantage just to play melee with us, what kind of thought process is this?" Panshilaughed.
"Hahaha, he probably thinks that if we are a bit closer, we won't be able to withstand his attacks." Tie Yue smiled all over his face.
"Wasting a good life-saving trump card just like that, it seems Yu Huang's practical combat experience is quite mediocre."
"We aren't that bunch of trash from Sky Eagle Territory; Yu Huang has really kicked an iron plate this time."
The members of Longyuan Pavilion discussed animatedly. In their view, Su Yu was simply courting death; apart from wasting his invincible skill, it had no meaning whatsoever.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Skill after skill slammed into Su Yu's body, yet it didn't cause him any impact at all.
All the attacks were absorbed by the invincible state on his body.
"There are still six seconds of invincibility remaining." Su Yucalculated silently in his heart.
Now, he was only three or four hundred meters away from the members of Longyuan Pavilion.
At this moment, he also realized one of his shortcomings—he lacked a displacement skill and could only rely on Wings of the Thunder Emperor for flight.
If he had a displacement skill, he could directly teleport behind the members of Longyuan Pavilion and deal them a fatal blow.
In the blink of an eye, Su Yu was less than two hundred meters away from the members of Longyuan Pavilion.
Desperate Counterattack!
A flash of icy coldness crossed Su Yu's eyes.
His health instantly dropped to only 20%, while his final damage boost rose to 150%.
Soul-Severing Arrow!
With a thought from Su Yu, a Soul-Severing Arrowconsuming a thousand times the mana value instantly tore through the void toward Longyuan.
Under the enhancement of Eternal Night Stealth and Desperate Counterattack, the power of the Soul-Severing Arrow reached an unprecedented level.
Chapter 156: Dark Storm!
Longyuan's pupils shrank; he could feel the terrifying oppressive force emanating from the Soul-Severing Arrow.
It seemed much stronger than the arrow from the very beginning.
This was definitely Yu Huang's ultimate burst skill!
Roar!
With a thought, Longyuan commanded two dark flood dragons to strangle towards the Soul-Severing Arrowfrom left and right.
This was his strongest single-target burst skill, of Divine Grade, with a cooldown time as high as five minutes.
Normally, it would only be used at critical moments.
The members of Longyuan Pavilion behind him simply had no time to react, and were still throwing various skills according to their previous momentum.
Boom!
The Soul-Severing Arrow collided with the two dark flood dragons, and a terrifying energy fluctuation began to dissipate.
The aftermath slammed into the members of Longyuan Pavilion, and the shields on many people were even directly shattered by the shockwave.
Rumble!
The two dark flood dragons and the Soul-Severing Arrowburst apart one after another.
Although the Soul-Severing Arrow was only a Common Grade skill, its level was extremely high. Under the blessing of true damage, even Divine Grade skills could not surpass it by a notch.
After Su Yu shot the Soul-Severing Arrow, he flitted away to the side.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the left side of the Longyuan Pavilion members.
Swish!
The longbow in Su Yu's hand was drawn into a full moon, and a Lightning Arrow consuming a thousandfold mana instantly pierced through the air and left.
In an instant, the Lightning Arrow hit an Archer standing on the far left of the team.
Bang!
This Archer's life-saving trump card was instantly triggered, leaving only one drop of health forcibly retained.
Crackle!
Arcs of electricity leaped wildly, beating out everyone's life-saving trump cards in the blink of an eye.
The Lightning Arrow was only a Common Grade skill. Although it had the blessing of true damage, it could still be blocked by low-tier life-saving trump cards.
Just like the moon guardian ring on Su Yu's body, after activating the Moon Mark, it could block the next instance of damage.
As a silver moon grade equipment, although it couldn't block the damage of Divine Grade skills, it was still fine to block Lightning Arrows blessed with true damage.
Blood Gods Eye!
A hint of blood flashed across the bottom of Su Yu's eyes, and Blood Gods Eye was activated instantly, targeting everyone in Longyuan Pavilion.
A huge damage number suddenly flashed above the heads of the Longyuan Pavilion members.
Immediately following, nine bolts of blood light descended from the sky, leaving only Longyuan and Panshi on the field.
Blood Gods Eye could only be blocked by high-tier life-saving trump cards. Originally, Lingshuang also had a high-tier life-saving trump card, but she had used it when challenging the Blood Shadow Wolf King earlier.
As an Epic Grade BOSS, the Blood Shadow Wolf King's damage could only be blocked by high-tier life-saving trump cards.
[Congratulations on killing a challenger with trial protection, you have obtained 500,000 Blood Trialpoints.]
[Congratulations on killing a challenger with trial protection, you have obtained 500,000 Blood Trialpoints.]
...
System prompt sounds rang in Su Yu's ears one after another, and instantly he reaped a full 4.5 million Blood Trial points.
Looking at this scene, Su Yu raised the corner of his mouth into a smile.
If he had known earlier, he would have just rushed in directly; why would he need to waste so much time with them?
"Longyuan, now only you are left." A sharp glint flashed in Su Yu's eyes as he directly ignored Panshi.
After all, Panshi was merely a tank with limited output methods. Once the duration of his invincible state ended, he could be dealt with effortlessly.
Watching this scene, Longyuan felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
He never expected that the battle situation would reverse in the blink of an eye.
Yu Huang, who had been tightly suppressed by them, actually erupted with such terrifying power, directly instantly killing nine core members.
Even his own life-saving trump card had been beaten out.
What was even more absurd was that his life-saving trump card was originally supposed to last for twenty seconds of invincibility, but now only twelve seconds remained.
This meant that Su Yu's damage just now far exceeded imagination, and the damage tier was extremely high.
Standing aside, Panshi's brain was somewhat dazed.
How could the teammates who were fighting side by side just now suddenly be completely gone?
He glanced at the remaining duration of his invincible state; only the last second was left.
Just a little bit more, and he would have been instantly killed directly, unable to be stopped even with a high-tier life-saving trump card.
"Very good, Yu Huang, you have completely angered me." Longyuan's gaze was icy cold.
Dark Storm!
Longyuan's whole body's mana surged, and a terrifying aura condensed in front of him.
This was his strongest offensive skill, which required continuous channeling and was very easy to be interrupted.
Generally, it would only be used when there was no interference in the surrounding environment.
However, since he had already entered an invincible state, naturally he didn't need to worry about being interrupted.
Swish, swish, swish!
The arrows in Su Yu's hands were continuous, speeding towards Longyuan like a violent storm.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Arrow after arrow shot onto Longyuan's body, yet could not cause any impact on him.
Su Yu could feel that the aura in front of Longyuan was getting stronger and stronger, but his inner heart had no ripples.
Undying True Body still had over four seconds of invincible state.
Coupled with the passive effect of Power of the Brave and the level 10 trait of Undying True Body, he still had a full 21 seconds of invincible time.
There was no need to worry too much at all.
Seeing that his attacks couldn't take effect on Longyuan, Su Yu directly launched an attack towards Panshi.
Bang!
With just a single arrow, Panshi, whose invincible state had just ended and who only had remaining low health, was killed by Su Yu.
[Congratulations on killing a challenger with trial protection, you have obtained 500,000 Blood Trialpoints.]
The moment Panshi was killed, Longyuan's staff moved.
In an instant, the gale howled, and a huge ink-black tornado ripped through the sky, carrying destructive dark energy and sweeping towards Su Yu.
The speed of the Dark Storm was extremely fast, slamming into Su Yu's body in the blink of an eye.
The violent dark energy was like countless sharp blades, cutting frantically on Su Yu's body.
The twin wings behind Su Yu shook, wanting to pull away the distance from the Dark Storm.
Unfortunately, his speed was far inferior to the Dark Storm.
The Dark Storm was like maggots clinging to bones, closely following behind Su Yu.
Su Yu found that his invincible time seemed to be ticking faster. The invincible state that could have lasted for three seconds was now estimated to only last for two seconds.
"It seems that the duration of the invincible state is not absolute either." Su Yu was thoughtful.
However, he could also understand this point, just like how high-tier skills could ignore low-tier life-saving trump cards.
After all, true invincibility could not possibly exist.
The invincible state was a bit like a high-value shield. Under the condition that the damage was not high, this high-value shield could not be broken, and naturally it was invincible.
But if the damage was too high and the shield dropped too fast, then shortening the duration was very normal.
Looking at Su Yu in the Dark Storm, Longyuan raised the corner of his mouth into a smile.
With his current mana, this Dark Storm could last for a maximum of thirty seconds.
Such a long time was completely enough to let Su Yu die several times over.
It could be said that as long as he used this move, among the same tier, no one could withstand it.
This was the absolute self-confidence he had built up over many years!
Chapter 157: Fighting the Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Realizing he couldn't shake off the attack of the dark storm, Su Yu simply hovered directly in the air and launched an attack straight at Longyuan.
Since as long as the damage dealt was high enough, the invincibility duration could be reduced faster, he would also accelerate the reduction of Longyuan's invincibility time.
Although he didn't have divine-grade attack skills, he had the blessing of true damage; as long as he could reduce Longyuan's invincibility time by even a little, it was a good thing.
Longyuan continued to channel the dark storm, and in this state, he was a living target.
But it didn't matter to him anyway; with the blessing of the invincibility state, he was completely fearless against ordinary damage.
Suddenly, Su Yu activated the Void skill of the void necklace, and under the blessing of the void state, his movement speed surged instantly.
Swish!
Behind Su Yu, Thunder Wings vibrated, and he flew past to the side. Taking advantage of a moment of inattention from Longyuan, he broke free from the range of the dark storm.
The next instant, the invincibility time of Undying True Body ended.
Without any hesitation, Su Yu directly triggered the counter-damage effect of Undying True Body, and a huge damage number floated above Longyuan's head.
Longyuan's pupils shrank abruptly. He clearly perceived that a terrifying, invisible attack was crushing toward him, with nowhere to escape.
Boom!
The invincibility state on Longyuan instantly ended.
He widened his eyes in utter disbelief as a beam of blood light descended from the sky.
Before leaving, Longyuan's peripheral vision swept into the distance.
A blood-colored giant wolf the size of a mountain appeared at the end of his vision, rushing toward this place at Extreme Speed.
Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor!
A smile curled the corner of Longyuan's mouth. Yu Huangwas dead for sure; he was just leaving a step ahead.
[Congratulations on killing a challenger with trial protection. You have obtained 500,000 Blood Trialpoints.]
[Congratulations on your trial level increasing. Your current trial level is 13, and the Blood Trial point coefficient is 6.]
"It's a pity that I can't return to the Middle Layer right now, otherwise I could complete the Blood God Trial II quest right now," Su Yu said somewhat helplessly.
The Blood Trial point coefficient rose from 5 to 6, plus the additionally obtained 5.5 million Blood Trial points just now.
At this time, Su Yu's Blood Trial points had reached more than 79 million.
Once he exchanged all the blood crystal in his backpack for Blood Trial points, he could immediately complete the Blood God Trial II quest.
It was just that he was currently marked by the Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor and temporarily unable to leave the Inner Layer.
Otherwise, he didn't want to stay in this Inner Layer even for a single second; he couldn't wait to return to the Middle Layer to exchange for Blood Trial points.
Rumble!
Suddenly, the earth trembled violently, and the gravel on the ground jumped frantically, as if some behemoth was crushing over from a distance.
Su Yu abruptly turned his head. A blood-colored giant wolf the size of a mountain appeared at the end of his vision, rushing toward him at Extreme Speed.
[Lv60 Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor (Legendary-GradeBOSS)]
[HP: 5 billion / 5 billion]
"So you were the one who marked me." A flash of sharp light crossed Su Yu's eyes.
Perhaps after killing this Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor, he could directly return to the Middle Layer.
Now that it delivered itself to his doorstep without him having to search for it, this was a good thing.
Furthermore, the Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor was a Legendary-Grade BOSS. After killing it, besides getting the first-kill reward for a Legendary-Grade BOSS, he might even get some unexpected surprises.
Just like when he triggered the Blood God Trial earlier.
Who knows, there might also be some special opportunities hidden on this Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor.
Blood Guardian, Blood Puppet, and Blood Shadow Wolf King all started with "Blood"; who knows, there might really be some special connection.
Su Yu hovered quietly in the void, waiting for the Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor to approach.
He had just finished fighting with the group from Longyuan Pavilion, so he could just take advantage of this gap to rest for a moment.
Before long, the Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor had already arrived at a location less than three kilometers away from Su Yu.
With a thought in Su Yu's mind, he directly used a Refresh Mark to refresh the active effect of Power of the Brave.
Power of the Brave!
Eternal Night Stealth!
Su Yu's figure vanished instantly in the air, and the long bow in his hand was pulled into a full moon.
Whoosh!
A Soul-Severing Arrow with a thousand-fold mana consumption instantly pierced through the air and left.
Roar!
The Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor opened its bloody maw, and a stream of blood-colored breath sprayed straight out.
Pfft ~
The Soul-Severing Arrow directly pierced through the blood-colored breath spewed by the Blood Shadow Wolf King, heading towards its head.
The Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor swung a paw, carrying the sound of tearing air.
Clang!
The Soul-Severing Arrow directly hit the paw of the Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor, producing the sound of metal clashing.
Although a portion of this arrow's might was worn away, it still dealt terrifying damage, directly wiping out nearly 15% of the Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor's HP.
Looking at this scene, a smile curled the corner of Su Yu's mouth; a Legendary-Grade BOSS was nothing much.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Arrows in Su Yu's hands were continuous, heading towards the Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor like a violent storm.
Among the Mana Arrows, six Soul-Severing Arrows consuming a hundred-fold mana were mixed in from time to time.
Without the coordination of Eternal Night Stealth, Su Yuwould almost never directly use Soul-Severing Arrows consuming a thousand-fold mana.
After all, his mana was also limited, and at most he could only continuously use Soul-Severing Arrows consuming a thousand-fold mana a dozen or so times.
Enduring Su Yu's fierce attacks, the Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor arrived by his side.
Roar!
It let out a heaven-shaking roar, and the sound wave turned into a tangible impact, shattering all the surrounding gravel into powder.
Under this blow, Su Yu discovered that besides the shield taking damage, more than one-fifth of his own HP was actually lost as well.
This sound wave attack unexpectedly mixed in a portion of true damage.
Su Yu couldn't help but look at the Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor with heightened respect; as expected of a Legendary-Grade BOSS, it actually had methods of true attack.
Although the damage wasn't considered high, it at least posed a certain threat to Su Yu.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Su Yu continuously adjusted his position in the air, frantically attacking the Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor.
The Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor was not to be outdone either, as skill after skill surged fiercely toward Su Yu.
Although Su Yu's movement speed was extremely fast, the Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor wasn't to be trifled with either; Su Yu could not dodge the vast majority of its AoE skills and could only passively endure them.
Fortunately, these damages were almost all normaldamage.
Even if a few skills occasionally mixed in true damage, they couldn't pose too big of a threat to Su Yu.
As long as he couldn't be killed in one hit, Su Yu could instantly restore his HP to full relying on his class talent's lifesteal.
Both sides fought fiercely, and soon, the Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor's HP dropped to 50%, triggering its second phase.
The Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor in the second phase emitted a dazzling blood light all over its body.
Under the blessing of the blood light, its combat power received an all-around enhancement.
Previously, the sound wave attack of the Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor could only wipe out about one-fifth of Su Yu's HP, but now it could wipe out nearly half of his HP.
This also forced Su Yu to become cautious; after all, if he could avoid using his life-saving trump cards, he should try not to use them.
Chapter 158: Skill Point Quantity Skyrocketing!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Enhanced by the blood light, the Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor became incomparably berserk, filling the sky with its crimson sharp claws.
Countless crimson sharp claws formed from energy slashed toward Su Yu from all directions.
Su Yu's heart remained completely calm; although these crimson sharp claws looked terrifying, they were actually just normal damage.
They fundamentally could not cause any effective damage to him.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Su Yu's arrows were non-stop, each Mana Arrow turning into a stream of light heading toward the Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor.
Under his frantic attacks, the Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor's health points were dropping at an extremely fast rate.
Finally, the skill cooldown for Eternal Night Stealthrecovered.
With a thought from Su Yu, his figure immediately disappeared into mid-air.
Whoosh!
A Soul-Severing Arrow consuming a thousand times the mana value suddenly emerged from the void, heading toward the Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor's health points abruptly dropped by a large chunk, leaving only the final 20% health points.
Roar!
An even more terrifying roar than before burst from the Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor's mouth, making people's eardrums ache from the vibration.
The blood light all over its body suddenly surged, turning into a thick crimson light barrier that completely enveloped it.
Bang!
Su Yu's arrow shot onto the crimson light barrier, yet it was unable to cause any damage to the Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor.
"It seems that BOSSes above epic grade all have three phases." Su Yu was deep in thought.
The epic grade BOSS 'Earth Vein Stone Giant' he had encountered before also had three phases; it entered the second phase at 50% health points, and the third phase at 20% health points.
Now it seemed Legendary-Grade BOSSes were the same.
Hum!
Suddenly, Su Yu noticed the space not far away distorting, and immediately after, one hundred Blood Shadow Giant Wolves appeared in his line of sight.
[lv60 Blood Shadow Giant Wolf (Common GradeSummoned Creature)]
[Health Points: 20 Million / 20 Million]
(Reminder: Please kill it within three seconds, otherwise the Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor will receive all-around strengthening.)
"This is a bit interesting; this is simply here to deliver skill points to me." A trace of joy flashed across Su Yu's eyes.
At the very moment he checked the Blood Shadow Giant Wolf's information, the Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor had already summoned a full three hundred Blood Shadow Giant Wolves.
Without any hesitation, Su Yu decisively fired a Lightning Arrow consuming ten times the mana value.
Under the blessing of the Power of the Brave, a Lightning Arrow consuming ten times the mana value could deal over twenty million damage, which was just enough to instantly kill the Blood Shadow Giant Wolf.
Bang!
Bzzzt!
Countless electric arcs leaped crazily, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of Blood Shadow Giant Wolves were instantly killed.
After the Lightning Arrow killed a target, it could refund 50% of the skill's cooldown time.
At the same time, for every target the electric arc killed, it could further reduce the skill's cooldown time by 0.25 seconds.
It could be said that under the current situation, the Lightning Arrow had almost no cooldown.
Thunder arrows headed toward the Blood Shadow Giant Wolves, countless electric arcs leaping, and miserable howling sounds were everywhere.
One second later.
Looking at the increasing number of Blood Shadow Giant Wolves, Su Yu gradually felt some pressure in his heart.
With his current monster-clearing efficiency, he could probably only kill a little over six hundred Blood Shadow Giant Wolves per second, which wasn't as fast as the Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor's summoning speed.
Continuing at this rhythm, he would definitely let a large number of monsters leak through.
By then, the Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor's strength would likely rise to an unimaginable degree.
He had to improve his monster-clearing efficiency.
Su Yu glanced at his number of skill points; adding the six hundred plus skill points gained from killing the Blood Shadow Giant Wolves just now, he now had exactly over two thousand.
While attacking the Blood Shadow Giant Wolves, he split off a thread of thought and began upgrading the level of the Lightning Arrow.
Costing a total of 2,420 skill points, the level of the Lightning Arrow smoothly rose from level 51 to level 61.
[lv61 Lightning Arrow (silver grade): Active skill, fires a Lightning Arrow, dealing 1900 + physical attack power * 420% lightning damage to the target, with a certain probability of producing a paralysis effect;
after the Lightning Arrow hits a target, it can jump between up to twenty-seven targets (a single target can suffer damage at most once), with subsequent damage decreasing by 3% each time;
consumes 350 mana points, cooldown time 4.5 seconds.]
[lv60 Trait: Lightning Arrow can fire two Lightning Arrows each time.]
"Not bad, not bad, this is secure now." A smile curled the corners of Su Yu's mouth.
After the Lightning Arrow was upgraded to level 61, besides the damage coefficient increasing, the electric arc's attack targets also increased to twenty-seven.
Coordinating with the Lightning Arrow's level 30 trait, after the electric arc killed a target, there was a 50% probability of additionally triggering an electric arc.
As long as his luck wasn't particularly bad, a single arrow could instantly kill at least fifty-plus Blood Shadow Giant Wolves.
Just this point alone could raise the number of Blood Shadow Giant Wolves Su Yu killed per second to over seven hundred.
Coupled with the Lightning Arrow's level 60 trait directly doubling the number of arrows, it could be said that killing over a thousand Blood Shadow Giant Wolves in a single second was still very relaxed.
Whoosh, whoosh!
The longbow in Su Yu's hand was drawn into a full moon; under his exquisite technique, two thunder arrows sped away at two different angles.
Bang! Bang!
Bzzzt!
Countless electric arcs leaped among the Blood Shadow Giant Wolves, and every time, nearly one hundred Blood Shadow Giant Wolves were killed.
With Su Yu's current attack speed, firing a dozen or so arrows per second had basically no pressure.
At most, it would consume a bit more physical stamina.
However, with his current comprehensive attributes, his physical stamina recovery speed was extremely fast, and supporting long-term high-intensity combat was not difficult.
One Blood Shadow Giant Wolf after another turned into corpses under the attacks of the Lightning Arrow.
The number of skill points on Su Yu's body, as well as the stack counts of the Life-Devouring Mark and Spirit-Devouring Mark, were skyrocketing at a terrifying speed.
"Awesome, how is this any different from picking up money?" The joy in Su Yu's eyes was almost overflowing.
To him, the Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor was practically no different from the God of Wealth.
According to the Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor's current summoning speed, one second was one thousand skill points, one minute was sixty thousand skill points, and ten minutes was six hundred thousand skill points.
Su Yu only hoped that the Blood Shadow Giant Wolf's third phase would last as long as possible.
About seven or eight seconds later.
Looking at the Life-Devouring Mark and Spirit-Devouring Mark that were about to overflow, Su Yu decisively began upgrading the levels of the Life-Devouring Body and Spirit-Devouring Body.
With a thought, he spent 3,870 skill points to upgrade the Life-Devouring Body from level 60 to level 70.
[lv70 Trait: When the stack count of the Life-Devouring Mark reaches 70,000 layers, every layer of the Life-Devouring Mark can additionally permanently increase one's own maximum health points by 8 points;
at the same time permanently increasing one's own final damage reduction by 10%.]
After finishing upgrading the Life-Devouring Body, Su Yustruck while the iron was hot, spending 3,815 skill points to upgrade the Spirit-Devouring Body from level 50 to level 60.
[lv60 Trait: When the stack count of the Spirit-Devouring Mark reaches 60,000 layers, every layer of the Spirit-Devouring Mark can additionally permanently increase one's own maximum mana points by 15 points;
at the same time permanently increasing one's own maximum mana points by 80%Possibility... wait, 80%.]
Chapter 159: God-tier Class Exclusive Skill Book!
"It seems I won't be able to upgrade both the Life-Devouring Body and the Spirit-Devouring Body at the same time much longer," Su Yu shook his head helplessly.
For these two skills, the Life-Devouring Body and the Spirit-Devouring Body, every 10 levels gained only allowed an additional stack of ten thousand marks.
Killing ten thousand monsters could at most yield ten thousand skill points.
As long as the skill points required to level these two skills up by ten levels exceeded five thousand, he wouldn't be able to upgrade both skills simultaneously.
Unless he could somehow obtain two skill points from killing a single monster at some point.
"I wonder if upgrading the Infinite Growth talent will increase the number of skill points obtained," Su Yu mused thoughtfully.
With just one Super-God Tier Talent Flower, the Infinite Growth talent could be upgraded to Level 2.
It was a pity that he hadn't found a channel to acquire the Super-God Tier Talent Flower yet, so he didn't know when he could upgrade the Infinite Growth talent.
While pondering, Su Yu attacked the Blood Shadow Giant Wolves.
With his current mob-clearing efficiency, basically the moment the Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor finished summoning, he would wipe out all the Blood Shadow Giant Wolves in the very next instant.
Right now, his mob-clearing efficiency far exceeded the Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor's summoning efficiency.
Soon, the Life-Devouring Mark and the Spirit-Devouring Mark reached the point of overflowing once again.
Without any hesitation, Su Yu decisively spent 4,470 skill points to upgrade the Life-Devouring Body from Level 70 to Level 80.
[Level 80 Trait: When the stacks of the Life-Devouring Mark reach 80,000, each layer of the Life-Devouring Markwill permanently increase own max health by an additional 9 points; at the same time, permanently increase own final damage reduction by 10%.]
After upgrading the Life-Devouring Body, Su Yu struck while the iron was hot and spent 4,515 skill points to upgrade the Spirit-Devouring Body from Level 60 to Level 70.
[Level 70 Trait: When the stacks of the Spirit-Devouring Mark reach 70,000, each layer of the Spirit-Devouring Mark will permanently increase own max mana by an additional 17 points; at the same time, permanently increase own max mana by 90%.]
"I'll leave the Spirit-Devouring Body like this for now and go all out on upgrading the Life-Devouring Body next. The extra skill points can be used to upgrade other skills later," Su Yu thought to himself.
Normally, as an epic-grade skill, the level cap of the Spirit-Devouring Body was 70.
Being able to upgrade the Spirit-Devouring Body to Level 70 already surpassed countless people.
The main function of the Spirit-Devouring Body was to increase max mana. Anyway, his current max mana was more or less enough, so temporarily not upgrading the Spirit-Devouring Body wouldn't have much of an impact.
Just like that, Su Yu cleared the Blood Shadow Giant Wolves while upgrading the level of his Life-Devouring Body.
Time ticked away bit by bit.
Suddenly, the blood-red light barrier on the Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor vanished, and it stopped summoning Blood Shadow Giant Wolves.
Eternal Night Stealth!
Su Yu's figure instantly vanished from where he stood.
Immediately following that, a Soul-Severing Arrowconsuming a thousand times the mana emerged from the void, hurtling towards the Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor.
Roar!
The Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor's eyes turned crimson. It hadn't expected that after summoning for a full minute—a staggering sixty thousand Blood Shadow Giant Wolves—every single one of them had been killed.
It hadn't gained even the slightest benefit; this was simply bullying a wolf too much!
Suddenly, it sensed a heart-palpitating aura coming from ahead.
Swish!
It lashed out with a claw directly, countless blood-red sharp claws materializing in an attempt to block the Soul-Severing Arrow shot by Su Yu.
Boom!
The blood-red claws were instantly torn apart, and the sharp arrow headed straight for it.
Bang!
The Soul-Severing Arrow sank straight into the Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor's body, and a huge damage number popped up.
Its health was left with less than 5%.
Blood Gods Eye!
A flash of blood color crossed Su Yu's eyes, and a terrifying invisible attack instantly struck the Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor.
Without giving it any chance to react at all, the Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor's health was instantly emptied.
Rumble!
The Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor's massive body instantly lost support, crashing heavily to the ground and smashing out a deep pit.
The next instant, the Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor's body dissolved into blood light and vanished, leaving behind a massive blood crystal and a blood-red token quietly materializing.
Looking at that blood-red token, Su Yu couldn't help but let his eyes light up. This Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor really did carry a special fortuitous encounter.
You had to know that Blood Beasts in the Blood Trial never dropped anything other than blood crystals.
Once something else dropped, it was definitely a special fortuitous encounter.
Su Yu had already experienced this previously with the Blood Guardian and the Blood God puppets.
Swish!
The blood crystal and blood-red token dropped by the Blood Shadow Wolf Emperor were instantly put away by the qiankun ring.
Just as Su Yu was planning to check the attributes of the blood-red token, a familiar system prompt rang in his ear.
[The Blue Star World Announcement is about to take place. Do you need to hide your nickname?]
"Do not hide!" Su Yu said in a deep voice.
Immediately, three consecutive world announcements rang in the ears of all players on Blue Star.
[Blue Star World Announcement: Congratulations to Holy Dragon Empire player Yu Huang for becoming the first player to solo a Legendary-Grade BOSS. Special rewards: God-tier Class Exclusive Skill Book * 1, Heavenly Artisan God Stone * 1, Gold Coins * 5,000, reputation * 2,000.] X3
...
"Holy crap, is there really no upper limit to Boss Yu Huang's strength?"
"Awesome! How long has it been, and Boss Yu Huang has actually soloed another Legendary-Grade BOSS."
"Are the surroundings of the main city that dangerous? There are even Legendary-Grade BOSSes."
"Who knows? Anyway, we and Boss Yu Huang are not playing the same game; he must be playing a cracked version."
"Boss Yu Huang only lacks the first-kill reward of a god-tier BOSS to achieve a grand slam."
"Terrifying to this extent. We are still messing around in the Novice Village, yet Boss Yu Huang can already solo a Legendary-Grade BOSS."
"I don't even dare to think about it. Boss Yu Huang has obtained so many god-tier resources just from BOSS first-kill rewards alone. How terrifying must his strength be right now?"
"Right now I just want to know which main city Boss Yu Huang went to. I want to go join Boss Yu Huang."
"I want to go join Boss Yu Huang too. With Boss Yu Huangholding down the fort, there is absolutely no possibility of failure in the upcoming Main City contention."
"I wonder what the specific content of the Main City contention is, and what penalties the losing side faces."
"Sigh, don't think too much about it. Everyone, let's work hard to level up and enter the main city first."
"..."
Countless Holy Dragon Empire players chattered and discussed amongst themselves. At this moment, they only had one thought: to go pledge allegiance to Su Yu. After all, it's easier to enjoy the shade under a big tree.
...
Blood Trial Inner Layer.
"A God-tier Class Exclusive Skill Book?" Su Yu couldn't help but let his eyes light up.
When he checked the Heavens Battlefield exchange shop last time, he had already seen the God-tier Class Exclusive Skill Book.
Back then he wanted to exchange for it, but the God-tier Class Exclusive Skill Book required 5,000 points of reputation to exchange, and he was still short by 600 points of reputation.
As it turned out, he never expected to directly obtain a God-tier Class Exclusive Skill Book now.
Chapter 160 Phantom Combo!
Exclusive skill books for God-tier classes can only be used by God-tier hidden classes.
After using it, there is a certain chance to obtain an exclusive skill belonging to one's own hidden class.
If one does not have any exclusive skills at all, using it for the first time will definitely grant an exclusive skill.
In other words, the cost-effectiveness of using a God-tier class exclusive skill book for the first time is the highest.
Su Yu did not hesitate at all; he directly opened his inventory and used this God-tier class exclusive skill book.
[Congratulations on obtaining the God-tier exclusive skill: Phantom Combo!]
[Lv1 Phantom Combo (God-tier): Active skill, strengthens the next basic attack, instantly deals 51 instances of damage to the target, each dealing 10% of physical attack power as damage; consumes 1,000 mana, cooldown 5 seconds.]
"This skill is a bit fierce." A sharp glint flashed through Su Yu's eyes.
Phantom Combo was the skill with the highest initial damage multiplier he had ever seen, capable of having a cumulative damage multiplier of up to 510% right at Level 1.
Coupled with its ultra-high damage frequency, it was definitely the bane of invincibility counts and single-hit damage-capping states.
More importantly, it could also trigger all attack special effects.
Combined with the extra damage from Wings of the Thunder Emperor, it could instantly deal tons of damage.
After activating Wings of the Thunder Emperor, all of Su Yu's attacks would additionally deal lightning damage equal to 295% of his physical attack power, with a certain chance to produce a paralysis effect.
This meant that after using Phantom Combo, Su Yu's next basic attack would possess a cumulative damage multiplier of up to 15,555%.
Furthermore, as Su Yu continuously leveled up the Phantom Combo and Wings of the Thunder Emperorskills, this cumulative damage multiplier would continue to skyrocket.
In the future, Su Yu could even learn more skills that could be triggered simply through attacks.
In this way, the effect unleashed by Phantom Combowould become even more terrifying.
"Let's upgrade Phantom Combo to Level 11 first and see the changes." Su Yu thought to himself.
With a thought, he directly spent 495 skill points to upgrade Phantom Combo from Level 1 to Level 11.
[Lv11 Phantom Combo (God-tier): Active skill, strengthens the next basic attack, instantly deals 61 instances of damage to the target, each dealing 11% of physical attack power as damage; consumes 1,500 mana, cooldown 4 seconds.]
[Lv10 Trait: This skill can store up to 10 charges.]
"Interesting. If it stores up all 10 charges, wouldn't I be able to deal over six hundred instances of damage within a single second?" Su Yu thought to himself.
With the Phantom Combo skill, if he were to encounter Ying Yang again, he would probably be able to instantly kill him in two or three arrows.
"How should I arrange the remaining nineteen thousand plus skill points?" Su Yu fell into deep thought.
He had just killed a full sixty thousand Blood Shadow Giant Wolves, harvesting sixty thousand skill points.
Among them, upgrading Life-Devouring Body and Spirit-Devouring Body alone cost 40,550 skill points.
Life-Devouring Body directly skyrocketed from Level 60 to Level 120, and the stacks of Life-Devouring Mark also accumulated to over one hundred and ten thousand layers.
Now, a single layer of Life-Devouring Mark could increase max HP by 87 points.
Life-Devouring Body alone provided Su Yu with an increase of over ten million max HP, as well as 110% final damage reduction.
Now his cumulative final damage reduction had reached 125%.
As long as the enemy's final damage amplification was not higher than 25%, they would be unable to deal any damage to him.
As for Spirit-Devouring Body, after upgrading it from Level 50 to Level 70, Su Yu did not continue upgrading it.
Now, with Spirit-Devouring Body fully stacked at Level 70, each layer of Spirit-Devouring Mark could increase max mana by 107 points.
In total, it provided Su Yu with over seven million max mana and a 420% max mana bonus.
"Let's upgrade both God-tier skills to Level 31 first." Su Yuquickly made a decision.
He silently calculated that upgrading Life-Devouring Bodyfrom Level 120 to Level 130 would require 7,470 skill points.
Compared to other skills, the cost-effectiveness of upgrading Life-Devouring Body was no longer that high.
Meanwhile, upgrading a God-tier skill from Level 11 to Level 31 only required 3,690 skill points, and its cost-effectiveness could be said to be very high.
With a thought, Su Yu directly raised Undying True Bodyfrom Level 11 to Level 31 in one go.
[Lv31 Undying True Body (God-tier): Active skill, after activating Undying True Body, you will enter an invincible state lasting 13 seconds; at the same time, all damage received during the invincible state will be stored, and within 13 seconds after the invincible state ends, you can designate damage reflection to one target or multiple targets. Consumes 40,000 mana, cooldown 7 hours.]
[Lv20 Trait: When receiving fatal damage, HP is forcibly retained at 1 point, and Undying True Body is actively activated, zero consumption, independent cooldown of 9 days.]
[Lv30 Trait: When receiving fatal damage, HP is forcibly retained at 1 point, and Undying True Body is actively activated, zero consumption, independent cooldown of 8 days.]
"This directly gives me two more God-tier life-saving trump cards." A smile curled up the corners of Su Yu's lips.
After Undying True Body was upgraded to Level 31, the duration of the invincible state increased to 13 seconds, and the skill's cooldown time was also shortened by 40 minutes.
More importantly, the newly added Level 20 and Level 30 traits both had independent cooldowns and did not interfere with each other.
With a thought, Su Yu directly set the trigger priority for his God-tier life-saving trump cards.
When he received fatal damage, the passive effect of Power of the Brave would be triggered first.
The passive effect of badge of the brave legend had a cooldown of only 8 hours, and it could also be refreshed using a Refresh Mark; it was the God-tier life-saving trump card with the highest cost-effectiveness on him.
If the passive effect of Power of the Brave was used up and he received fatal damage again, the Level 30 trait of Undying True Body would be triggered.
The Level 30 trait of Undying True Body had a cooldown of only 8 days, which was shorter than both the Level 20 and Level 10 traits; triggering it had even higher cost-effectiveness.
Following that would be the sequential triggering of the Level 20 and Level 10 traits of Undying True Body.
A total of four God-tier life-saving trump cards.
It could be said that Su Yu's survivability was now maxed out, and he almost didn't need to worry about his own safety issues.
After upgrading Undying True Body, Su Yu struck while the iron was hot and directly raised Phantom Combo from Level 11 to Level 31 as well.
[Lv31 Phantom Combo (God-tier): Active skill, strengthens the next basic attack, instantly deals 81 instances of damage to the target, each dealing 13% of physical attack power as damage; consumes 2,500 mana, cooldown 3 seconds.]
[Lv20 Trait: The number of damage instances dealt to the target is additionally increased by 10.]
[Lv30 Trait: The number of damage instances dealt to the target is additionally increased by 20.]
"Now I'm afraid I can kill Ying Yang in a single arrow." Su Yu felt immense emotion in his heart.
After Ying Yang entered the God of War State, he would at most suffer damage equal to 1% of his max HP each time.
After using Phantom Combo now, a single basic attack could deal 111 instances of damage, more than enough to instantly kill Ying Yang.
