100: Chapter 100: The Ultimate Continued Layer

The stack count was steadily maintained, and the duration kept refreshing.

In just two seconds, the barrier fully formed, the Verdict Protection took effect, and the BOSS entered a state of 10-second damage reduction and single-hit damage cap protection.

Immediately after the skill finished casting, its body fell into a brief stiffness.

Lin Yan seized this few seconds of output vacuum, attacking with full force, crazily stacking the count while the BOSS was unable to move.

But the stiffness was fleeting; the Void Verdict Envoy recovered its mobility instantly, its figure suddenly retreating to create distance, its extreme movement speed instantly taking it out of Lin Yan's attack range.

The next second, a crisis arrived.

Lin Yan's axe swung into empty air; he had completely lost his attack target in front of him.

[ Physical-Magic Dual Cultivation: Remaining duration 0.8 seconds... 0.5 seconds... ]

The stack count was about to break. Once it hit zero, the high stack count of over four thousand accumulated previously would all go to waste!

It cannot break!

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Yan crushed the Teleportation Scroll in his hand with his fingertips.

A white light instantly enveloped his body, ignoring spatial distance, and he teleported directly behind the Void Verdict Envoy!

The next axe strike landed precisely.

[ Attack hit! Physical-Magic Dual Cultivation duration refreshed, stack count + 1! ]

A thrilling stack continuation; it was a close call.

The Void Verdict Envoy turned around and raised its hand, charging up again. Large-scale Void Lightning gathered above his head; the Void Heavenly Punishment was about to descend, a 15-meter area-of-effect imprisonment damage that was impossible to dodge.

The triple purple lightning poured down with a roar, covering all of Lin Yan's movement space.

Once hit by the lightning, the four-second Void Imprisonment would lock his movement, and the subsequent follow-up skills would definitely kill him instantly.

At the critical moment, Lin Yan directly activated the Triple Immunity Talisman to resist this area-of-effect control.

The lightning fell, and he took the full damage, but the imprisonment effect was completely negated, and he could still move freely.

Taking advantage of the BOSS finishing the Heavenly Punishment and falling into a longer period of total body stiffness, Lin Yan moved forward again to output crazily.

But the Void Verdict Envoy had extremely strong combat instincts. After the stiffness ended, it immediately retreated at high speed, always maintaining a safe attack distance from Lin Yan. No matter how Lin Yan maneuvered, he could never touch the opponent even slightly.

Seeing the Physical-Magic Dual Cultivation countdown hitting bottom again and his attacks constantly missing, Lin Yan's eyes turned cold, and he directly took out the Magic-Sealing Chain given by the girl.

The pale golden chain flew out instantly, tightly wrapping around the Void Verdict Envoy's body.

[ Magic-Sealing Chain effective! Imprisoning Level 35 Ultimate BOSS, imprisonment duration 3 seconds! ]

As the ceiling-level Ultimate BOSS of the Dungeon, the imprisonment duration was significantly reduced, but three seconds was completely enough.

The Void Verdict Envoy, bound by the chains, could not move; its skills could not be charged, its body could not shift, and it completely became a living target.

Lin Yan seized this three-second golden output window, slashing crazily with his battle axe without pause, and the stack count skyrocketed once again, directly breaking through 4300 stacks.

[ Physical-Magic Dual Cultivation: 4360 stacks, Spell Attack Power + 218,000 ]

[ Magic to Physical Conversion effective, additional Physical Attack Power: 250,700 points ]

The additional physical attack power broke through 250,000, and the efficiency of grinding down the HP significantly increased.

Back and forth, the tug-of-war battle lasted for a long time.

Throughout the process, Lin Yan precisely gauged the BOSS's skill wind-up and recovery animations, outputting only during the stiffness periods, and spending the rest of the time fully kiting and evading.

If the stack count was about to break, he would teleport to its face or use the Magic-Sealing Chain to lock it down and continue attacking; when encountering fatal stabs, area-of-effect lightning, or other kill moves, he would immediately activate the Ethereal Scroll to avoid locked-on damage, or activate the Invincibility Scroll to tank the full burst.

Every single item Wen Xiaoyou gave him was used to its limit, without a shred of waste.

In the corner of the battlefield, Wen Xiaoyou stood quietly in the Safe Zone; the monster's skills did not target her at all.

Wen Xiaoyou clenched her little fists in front of her chest, whispering cheers continuously, watching Lin Yan calmly deal with the powerful monster, her eyes full of trust and admiration.

Time passed slowly, and the Void Verdict Envoy's massive 5 million HP was steadily ground down bit by bit.

4 million, 3 million, 2 million, 1 million...

Finally, the BOSS's HP hit zero completely.

But at the very moment the HP was cleared, the entire floor of the octagonal arena exploded with a roar!

[ Samsara Boundary Rebirth triggered! ]

A pitch-black void shockwave swept across the entire arena, and a huge repulsive force instantly blasted Lin Yan back violently.

A permanent Void Weakness debuff landed on him, permanently reducing all damage by 30%, which could not be removed for the entire battle.

At the same time, the Void Verdict Envoy entered a five-second invincible reconstruction state, its broken body rapidly recovering.

Five seconds later, it resurrected at full health, black light blazing around its body, and all attributes permanently increased by 30%!

Attack power, defense, and movement speed soared across the board, and the combat difficulty directly doubled.

The resurrected Verdict Envoy's offensive became increasingly violent, its spear thrusts were faster, its skill chains were tighter, and the output stiffness window left for Lin Yan became shorter and shorter.

Lin Yan's pressure increased sharply; he immediately drank all his top-tier health potions to replenish his HP and stabilize his state.

Even though his own damage was weakened by 30% by the debuff, his Physical-Magic Dual Cultivation stack count kept rising.

The more bitter the battle, the higher the attack frequency, and the faster the stacks accumulated.

4500 stacks, 4800 stacks, 5000 stacks!

Finally, the Physical-Magic Dual Cultivation stack count broke through the 5000-stack mark!

[ Physical-Magic Dual Cultivation: 5220 stacks, increased Spell Attack Power: 261,000 ]

[ Magic to Physical Conversion passive effective, converted Physical Attack Power: 300,150 points ]

The 300,000 additional physical attack power forcibly offset the permanent damage reduction debuff, and his output did not decrease much.

Lin Yan's eyes were firm, no longer impatient.

It was still the exact same kiting strategy: outputting during skill stiffness, and using items to save his life and maintain the stack count.

The heaven-defying secret treasures gifted by the girl became his entire foundation for contending with the over-spec Ultimate BOSS.

There was no crushing instant kill, only extreme operational kiting and patient HP grinding.

I don't know how much time passed, but the Void Verdict Envoy's HP hit bottom completely for the second time.

This time, it did not have a second Samsara Rebirth.

The power of the Samsara Source had been exhausted, its hollow eyes extinguished completely, the void armor around its body shattered into pieces, and its massive body collapsed with a roar, completely dissolving into the void black mist.

[ Dungeon System notification: Killed special Ultimate BOSS, obtained additional reward — Free Attribute Points + 30. ]

[ hextech system notification: Killed special Ultimate BOSS, permanently increased Prism-tier hextech refresh probability + 1% ]

[ Current Prism-tier hextech refresh probability: 3% → 4% ]

---

[ The eighteenth round of Samsara monsters has been completely suppressed! ]

[ Hidden Trial: Samsara Demon Slaughter Arena, successfully cleared! ]

[ Exclusive clear rewards are being calculated and distributed! ]

---

The scarlet formation patterns in the arena slowly extinguished; all void rifts and void restrictions dissipated completely, and the violent combat aura returned to absolute calm.

Lin Yan sheathed his axe and stood, breathing slightly; all the items on his body had been exhausted, marking the end of this thrilling ultimate deathmatch.

What he found strange was that after killing these 18 rounds of monsters, nothing had dropped, not even materials.

Wen Xiaoyou immediately trotted over and threw herself at him, looking up with her fair, tender face, her eyes shining brightly as she looked at him: "You won! You really are too strong!"

Lin Yan looked down at the girl, whose face was full of pure happiness, and understood in his heart.

This desperate clear, which seemed to be a victory won by his operation and talent, was actually, from beginning to end, entirely dependent on Wen Xiaoyou's unreasonable heaven-sent treasures, which allowed him to turn the tables in a desperate situation.

Suddenly, the entire Samsara Demon Slaughter Arena began to vibrate violently once again.
