BOOM!
A bolt of lightning descended from the sky, striking directly at the Soul Emperor.
-524.58 million!
The damage number that popped up above the Soul Emperor's head shocked the entire scene!
Before anyone on the field could react.
Zhang Yue had already begun the battle.
Because to the Level 108 God-level BOSS Soul Emperor with over 1 billion HP, Zhang Yue's 50 million damage was not yet enough to pose a fatal threat.
Starting with thunderous force.
Shattered Thunder!
Thunder: Dance of Lightning!
Heavenless: God-Slaying Curse!
One after another, SS~SSS-level thunder-type skills bombarded the Soul Emperor violently.
Above his head, massive damage numbers ranging from 50 million to 80 million burst out.
Within a single second, the Soul Emperor's health was reduced by a third.
Even his special soul shield couldn't withstand Zhang Yue's damage.
It was the first time seeing a human even more abnormal than himself, and the Soul Emperor dared not underestimate the person before him.
He raised his skeletal staff and quickly began casting spells to counterattack.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Several consecutive SS-level powerful spells blasted straight at Zhang Yue.
But Zhang Yue stood still, unmoving, letting the Soul Emperor's powerful skills hit his body.
Just when the profession players of the Beacon Nation thought Zhang Yue was about to be insta-killed by a full skill combo from this God-level BOSS—
They were shocked to discover: the Soul Emperor's attacks, even when landing on Zhang Yue, didn't even break through Zhang Yue's shield.
"What?"
At this moment, even the Soul Emperor himself felt a bit incredulous.
He didn't expect that this human before him would be this powerful.
Unbeknownst to him, through the previous attacks, Zhang Yue had already accumulated a Void Shield equivalent to twelve times his max HP.
A total of over 30 million in shielding, how could the Soul Emperor's mere several hundred thousand damage possibly break through that?
To deal with such a minor God-level BOSS, even the slightest sidestep from Zhang Yue would be underestimating his own strength.
So he directly entered a stand-and-brawl mode.
Turning the aggro into damage output.
Heavenly Fire Engulfs the Plains!
Icy Heaven, Snowy Earth!
Light of Apocalypse!
Divine Fire Catastrophe!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
A series of single-target burst skills bombarded the Soul Emperor, rapidly draining his HP.
At 4.5 seconds, when the second cast of the SSS-level unique skill Thunder: Dance of Lightning descended—
A critical hit of 110 million instantly drained the last sliver of HP from above the Soul Emperor's head.
["Ding~ You have slain the Level 108 God-level BOSS [Soul Emperor], EXP +12 billion, Energy +1 trillion!"]
["Ding~ You gained extra combat earnings as a Tier 5 Soul Hunter (50%): EXP +6 billion, Energy +500 billion!"]
SWOOSH!
A beam of golden light rained down atop Zhang Yue's head.
["Ding~ Congratulations, you have leveled up. Current level: 103… Next level requires 30 billion EXP!"]
At the moment the Soul Emperor was insta-killed.
Singham felt like his brain had shriveled.
"What the f***… That was a God-level BOSS!"
"This guy… He solo-killed a God-level BOSS? And even insta-killed it?"
"Could this guy be some high-level big shot from level 200–300 who came to a low-level world to fish for noobs?"
"Fish your a**! Back then, sure, high-level players coming to low-level worlds to show off and bully noobs made sense—but this is the Death Territory! Advanced profession players from above the 19th world can't even enter! Meaning this guy's level can't possibly exceed 110!"
At the back, Garuda and more than a dozen other Bear Nation profession players also stared at Zhang Yue with disbelief.
At this moment, Singham looked at Zhang Yue and asked, "You… who the hell are you?"
As the words fell.
ROAR!
Along with a deafening, thunderous dragon roar.
A colossal black dragon, large enough to cover the sky and block out the sun, flew in from above.
BOOM!
An earth-shattering impact sounded as it landed directly behind Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue looked at Singham, speaking casually, "What do you think?"
ROAR!
Another roar followed, scaring Singham and the surrounding Beacon Nation players so badly they collapsed to the ground!
"He… he's Zero!"
"The newly crowned number one national server pro from Dragon Nation!"
"I knew that back silhouette looked familiar. This morning I saw a video on the international web of Dragon Nation's beastmaster instant-killing seven top 400-level players from the major countries—the protagonist had this exact back silhouette, it's him!"
"F***, why didn't you say so earlier?"
Upon realizing that Zhang Yue's identity was that of a hidden top dog who had crushed the top profession players of the seven major nations, Singham immediately ordered, "Retreat! Retreat now!"
Zhang Yue smiled lightly, "You're already here, what's the rush? Why not stay and play a while?"
Singham chuckled awkwardly, "No playing, my mom's calling me home for dinner!"
"Going home for dinner?", Zhang Yue said, "Then let me send you on your way."
With that, Zhang Yue gave the Armageddon Black Dragon a meaningful glance.
Having awaited this command for long, the Armageddon Black Dragon immediately spread its wings and soared upward.
ROAR!
A scorching dragon flame shot from its mouth, engulfing the crowd.
All who were consumed by the Armageddon Dragon Flame perished under an AOE damage of 10 million.
No one could escape the black dragon's grasp.
There was no need for Zhang Yue to even lift a finger.
Relying solely on the Armageddon Black Dragon's AOE damage, in the blink of an eye, all hundred-plus profession players from the Beacon Nation were wiped out.
BOOM!
The Armageddon Black Dragon returned to Zhang Yue's side.
Its towering and mighty presence inspired awe among the Bear Nation profession players present.
Zhang Yue approached the Soul Emperor's corpse and picked up all of its loot.
The value of a God-level BOSS was still quite good.
From the Soul Emperor, Zhang Yue obtained three 17-star pieces of equipment, top-tier at the current stage.
And also a number of high-level materials used for crafting gear and top potions.
Zhang Yue pocketed all the spoils of war.
Besides that, the greatest gain was that after killing the Soul Emperor, the hidden quest [Crusade Against the Soul Emperor] was also partially completed.
He could go back and submit the quest.
Just then, Garuda rushed over to cling to Zhang Yue's leg.
Other people's so-called "hugging a thigh" was just a figure of speech.
But for Garuda,it was literal.
He squatted next to Zhang Yue and directly hugged Zhang Yue's leg.
"Boss, let me hug your thigh for a moment!"
"I've grown this old and never seen a profession player as incredible as you!"
"And you even saved me. You're practically my second parent!"
"You flatter me…", Zhang Yue said, "Just like you said. May Dragon-Bear Nation friendship last forever."
Just as he finished speaking.
Outside the Soul Palace, a sudden rush of footsteps was heard.
The Bear Nation profession players on scene instantly drew their swords and entered high alert, their just-now relaxed minds immediately tensed again.
"Someone's coming!"
"Could it be Beacon's reinforcements?"
"Everyone on guard!"
Just as the crowd tensed up again, a short while later, sure enough, a large group of profession players poured into the Soul Palace.
Only, the ones arriving were not enemies, but Bear Nation reinforcements.
About two to three hundred Bear Nation profession players entered the Soul Palace and joined Garuda's group.
Leading them was a tall female warrior, clad in crimson lotus armor, with snow-white skin and long legs.
This person was none other than Saber: Athena!
Athena immediately spotted Garuda and hurried over to ask, "Brother, are you okay?"
