182: Chapter 182, Phase Two!

"Roar——!"

An abrupt battle suddenly erupted without any prelude.

Roaring, the boss King Kong Giant Ape upon the throne suddenly leaped forward, differing from its previous routine of throwing the axe first, pulling its body straight into the shape of a bent bow mid-air.

Atop the terrifying giant axe, blue-purple lightning carried a dazzling light.

"Are you the only one with a loud voice?!"

"Flower, come!"

The instant a source energy flower identical in style to the [flower of eternity] bloomed in Chu Hong's hand, it was violently crushed by the latter.

A surging momentum, akin to a thunderstorm erupting within a body, carried a rumbling, berserk source energy.

It instantly erupted from Chu Hong's body.

Before [Slaughter Overlord] activation: Ninth Stage of Qiyuan Realm!

After [Slaughter Overlord] activation: Energy Gathering Realm Stage Nine!

Facing the giant axe that was about to cleave down overhead, red light blossomed in Chu Hong's hand as the noble and ostentatiously luxurious gun skin of the [inheritor sv-98] looked like a divine artifact at this moment.

It lit up with a brilliant golden light never seen before.

"Click!"

The bullet was chambered within milliseconds.

"Ke miao!!!"

"Boom!"

It was no longer the dull gunshot with silencer sound effects from before.

The golden 7 bullets were like a golden laser shooting forth.

Previously, when Chu Hong was still at the Ninth Stage of Qiyuan Realm, using the same weapon and the same golden-quality ammunition to precisely hit the boss's eyes could only injure it, but could not blind it.

However...

The trajectory of this shot, however, was like a golden javelin.

It instantly pierced through the boss's chest, blasted open a fist-sized hole, and carried blood and minced meat as it pierced out from behind its back.

"Roar!!!"

The boss crashed down in agony, its giant axe cleaving a trench three to four meters deep a dozen meters away from Chu Hong.

If he were struck by this axe, let alone him, even Wang Suming holding a large shield would definitely not be able to withstand it.

However.

Seeing the boss's miserable state, joy filled Chu Hong's eyes, yet his hands did not delay for even a single second.

He only had 30 seconds!

The superpower [Gravity Field] activated.

A black hole was smashed in front of the boss King Kong Giant Ape. Seeing the latter immediately float up in weightlessness, three [golden apple]s instantly appeared in Chu Hong's hand.

These three alone directly consumed over seventy percent of his source energy!

The more source energy inputted, the stronger the lethality produced!

"Art is explosion! Click!"

Of the three [golden apple]s, one was smashed by Chu Hong toward the boss's head, while the target of the other two was its pair of legs floating weightlessly in mid-air.

"Rumble——!"

The terrifying explosive power was so strong that even Chu Hong hadn't expected it. Caught off guard, his body was pushed by this wave of air and almost crashed headfirst into the surrounding stone walls.

Fortunately, he was precisely blocked by the tail of the [Thunder Horned Dragon].

The boss's ferocious, sharp, and painful roar echoed in his ears, and Chu Hong turned his head to look.

A trace of wild joy instantly welled up in his eyes.

It broke!

One of the boss's legs was blown off by him!!!

A huge bloody left foot of the ape, along with a small section of the lower leg, was blown flying dozens of meters away from the boss at this moment.

Blood and minced meat splashed all over the ground.

The tentacles of [Ke Xiaoken] waved, handing two struggling mutated monkeys that rushed in from the passage right in front of Chu Hong.

The [biochemical suppression 93r] instantly appeared in Chu Hong's hand.

"Da da da! Da da da!"

Pulling the trigger, the [biochemical suppression 93r], blooming with a crimson color and seeming to have undergone a transformation at this moment, fired three consecutive shots each, directly hitting the two monkeys held by [Ke Xiaoken]'s tentacles.

Blasting their heads until they completely vanished.

Two balls of life energy instantly surged from the corpses into Chu Hong's body.

[Slaughter Overlord] effect duration extended by +10 seconds!

[precious gold watch] display cabinet effect! Activated!

The [golden apple]s that were still in cooldown recovery instantly had two more pieces appear in Chu Hong's hand.

"Roar!" The giant ape's huge pupils reflected a clear look of shock and fear the moment that apple appeared in Chu Hong's hand once again.

It simply could not imagine.

That the [golden apple], which was so tiny that pinching it in its hand was almost no different from a grain of sand, could actually still explode.

What was even more terrifying was... its powerful and proud body was actually unable to resist it!

The giant ape roared, and the giant axe in its hand instantly whistled and flew toward Chu Hong.

[Cliff Youngs Crimson Eye] display cabinet effect! Activated!

A trace of crimson shimmer instantly blossomed in the pupil of Chu Hong's right eye. Under the gaze of this eye and Chu Hong's perception, the speed of the whistling giant axe seemed to be abruptly slowed down.

Digitized trajectory calculations and targeted optimal evasion plans were instantly transmitted to Chu Hong's brain.

Instantly sidestep two meters to the right, duck your head!

In the boss's estimation, what should have been a guaranteed full-strength strike brushed past the top of Chu Hong's head at a distance of less than ten centimeters, accurately dodged by Chu Hong.

Meanwhile, the boss giant ape, whose lower leg was severely injured and broken and whose other leg was also bloody and mutilated, could only watch in terror and panic as two [golden apple]s, carrying a terrifying energy tide...

...flew toward its face.

It's over...

Chu Hong murmured inwardly as the massive explosion shook this underground area. Thick and terrifying [mutated crystal]s fell from overhead, plunging into the battlefield at this moment like towering pillars.

Smoke and dust filled the air.

However.

When he "saw" the perceptual image in the smoke transmitted to him by the [cobweb brain-computer interface] display cabinet effect, Chu Hong's pupils couldn't help but violently constrict.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust.

The huge figure that, according to his calculations, was least likely to stand up...

...was currently like a mountain, slowly crashing through the smoke and dust, revealing its terrifying and shocking body.

Behold.

The left lower leg that had been blown off by Chu Hong, the bloody and mutilated right leg, as well as the chest, arms, and face—

all the places heavily injured by Chu Hong's sudden and fierce bombardment earlier were unexpectedly replaced by a layer of [mutated crystal].

Even the originally maimed left foot had condensed into a prosthetic limb in the state of [mutated crystal].

Chu Hong sucked in a breath of cold air.

"Holy shit... There's a Phase Two?!"

Behind him, amidst the whistling of the giant axe, Chu Hong hurriedly performed a roll, dodging the attack while...

...raising his head.

He locked eyes with the boss King Kong Giant Ape, whose gaze was crimson, ferocious, and filled with a fierce, tyrannical brutality.

He sighed slightly in his heart.

Sure enough, even though he currently possessed the temporary strength of Energy Gathering Realm Stage Nine...

...along with various methods and "cheats".

This prehistoric behemoth before him was definitely not something that could be easily resolved...

But fortunately.

the situation on his side wasn't bad either.

Amidst the "hiss hiss hiss" sound of poisonous gas spraying, the quest item [Parino Biological Toxin Outbreak Device] finally started working.

A layer of armor made of [mutated crystal] seemed to have condensed on the body of the Phase Two boss giant ape.

It shook the giant axe in its hand, spraying two streams of white air from its nostrils.

Chu Hong remained silent.

Yet in one hand was the [biochemical suppression 93r]

and in the other was the [Saber - Source Blade].

One large and one small, their eyes met.

In the eyes of both was the absolute determination to kill the person before them!
