135: Chapter 135 Two Punches Slay the Emperor

The Su Family main hall.

Seated here, Patriarch Su, who occupied a high position and had seen countless prodigies, had spent his life witnessing the battles of innumerable heaven-defying monsters and top-tier powerhouses. He had long since cultivated a composed temperament, remaining unmoved even if Mount Tai were to collapse before him.

But the moment he saw that shocking three million damage!

This helmsman of the Su Family, who was usually as steady as a rock and never showed his emotions—except when it came to his doted-upon granddaughter—suddenly leaned forward!

The composed expression that had remained unchanged for ages shattered completely. His eyes widened, and his gaze surged with extreme shock and disbelief!

His gaze rapidly swept over the Fourth Level's ultimate rules introduced on the side of the holographic screen.

Talents disabled! Equipment completely useless! Items sealed! Skill power reduced by eighty percent!

These four rules locked down the combat power ceiling for every Contestant, nearly destroying everyone's foundation!

Under such rules, even the federation's top prodigies could barely protect themselves, let alone deal any decent damage.

Yet Lin Yan went against the current, throwing a single punch that dealt destructive damage capable of overturning common knowledge!

Patriarch Su's pupils contracted violently. He sighed in shock, his tone filled with extreme disbelief:

"What level of secret technique is this?!"

He instantly made the most precise assessment.

On a battlefield where talents, equipment, items, and damage skills were all nullified, the ability to transcend the arena's rules, ignore the Fourth Level's seals, and erupt with such terrifying lethality was definitely a top-tier, rarely seen, closely guarded secret technique that stood outside the system!

For a long while, Patriarch Su's eyes were extremely complex, with gravity, wariness, and shock intertwined. Only after a long time did he mutter to himself:

"Good kid..."

"No wonder, no wonder he is so overbearing and unruly, daring to bully my Lianwu so unscrupulously..."

The Fourth Level Golden Throne.

In the instant that the outside world was shocked, the heroes were speechless, and the various big shots were shaken to their cores.

Lin Yan stood in place, his expression indifferent and calm. Facing the massive three million damage he had just dealt with a single punch, there was not a ripple in his heart; he had already calculated and predicted this output result in advance.

The Fourth Level's domain-wide rule reduced skill damage by 80%. Among all his active skills, only the additional health damage from [Blood Burning Strike] and the damage from [Rend] would be weakened by this rule. But from the very beginning, his core purpose in releasing Blood Burning Strike was not to deal damage, but to precisely lower his own health and trigger the low-health passive [Tyrants Body].

With his health falling below 30%, [Tyrants Body] directly provided a 20% total attack power boost; stacking this with his trump card [Peak State], which brought its own 30% additional attack bonus, the combined total attack power increase reached 50%.

His original base physical attack of over 1.15 million skyrocketed to over 1.7 million after the dual boosts.

On top of that, the permanently stacked fifty layers of [Rage of the Barbarian King] provided a 50% total damage bonus. With just a purely physical punch, the damage was already approaching 2.6 million.

And the 30% fixed true damage attached to [Peak State], calculated based on the high physical attack of over 1.7 million, was not bound by the Fourth Level's skill reduction rules and took full effect.

The physical damage from his basic attack combined with the unmitigated true damage resulted in a total destructive output of over three million.

The entire set of boosts, damage calculations, and rule avoidance had been clearly calculated in his mind before he struck. The astonishing burst of power at this moment was merely the inevitable result of executing his plan.

That punch just now was merely a casual strike after stacking all his states.

It was not enough to move him, and certainly not enough to make him hold back.

He would not give the [Imperial Guard Emperor] seated on the throne any chance to recover, open its Imperial Domain, or release its ultimate skill.

Lin Yan took a step, and his figure flashed again.

It was still a simple, unadorned punch!

The second ordinary punch, carrying the terrifying stacks of [Physical-Magic Dual Cultivation], the true damage of [Peak State], the 50-layer damage bonus of [Rage of the Barbarian King], and the full extreme power of the [Tyrants Body] berserk buff, landed with a boom once again!

Boom—!!

An earth-shattering roar exploded, and the entire Fourth Level airspace nearly collapsed!

The [Imperial Guard Emperor]'s cracked golden armor shattered completely, and its vast, boundless imperial body convulsed and trembled violently. Under this extreme, stacked violent output, the eternal, undefeated throne-bound imperial body had absolutely no room to resist!

Five million terrifying HP! Under the first two simple heavy punches, it was instantly cleared to zero!

[Ultimate BOSS · Imperial Guard Emperor HP zeroed out!]

[Triggered exclusive passive — Cycle Imperial Body · Unity!]

Hum—!!

Ten thousand zhang of golden imperial light shot into the sky, shattering the collapsing golden brilliance!

The dying Imperial Guard Emperor's body suddenly surged with brilliant golden light, its stiffened body abruptly reviving. A more violent, more terrifying, and more overbearing imperial might swept across the entire Fourth Level world!

The system's cold, domain-wide broadcast resounded throughout the [Chaotic Battlefield]!

[Emperor has fallen for the first time, triggering the Supreme Rebirth Authority!]

[All attributes permanently increased by 35%!]

[Permanently gained 25% global damage reduction!]

[Permanently increased damage boost by 50%!]

[All four ultimate skill cooldowns reset to zero!]

[Imperial Guard Emperor has entered permanent Berserk form!]

The revived Emperor opened its eyes completely.

Its golden pupils were cold and violent, filled with the supreme imperial might of controlling life and death. It locked onto Lin Yan in front, and the entire throne domain boiled with murderous intent.

Everyone outside who saw this scene instantly felt their scalps go numb, and extreme fear and suffocation rose in their hearts.

Berserk form, attribute surge, damage reduction, all skills refreshed!

Everyone was convinced that the unsealed, berserk Emperor was about to start an unsolvable slaughter!

But in the center of the Fourth Level.

Lin Yan looked at the berserk Emperor, whose state had been fully enhanced after resurrection, his expression still as calm as water, without surprise or joy.

There was not a shred of wariness in his heart, only an incomparably clear judgment.

It was nothing more than changing from a two-punch kill to a three-punch kill.

The entire Third Floor was completely numb.

Shock was overdrawn, fear was overdrawn, and cognition was completely crushed and overdrawn.

From [Ye Guanqi]'s heaven-shaking move of suppressing the marshals with three pieces,

To [Karen Walker]'s peerless spirit of breaking into the level alone,

And then to Lin Yan's overwhelming domination—suppressing prodigies with one hand, instantly killing three marshals, three million damage in one punch, and slaying the emperor in two punches.

Everyone's mentality completely collapsed, rendered speechless, and utterly numb.

So much for the Third Floor's desperate situation! So much for the marshals being invincible! So much for the Fourth Level's seals! So much for the ultimate emperor!

In front of this blood-colored figure, they were all jokes, all just decorations that lasted a few punches.

The heroes stared blankly at the invincible figure on the Fourth Level, speechless for a long time.

In the end, they could only utter one sentence:

"Is this..."

"...even human?"

Just as the entire battlefield fell into dead silence, and everyone was still staring blankly up at that blood-colored figure—

After three punches.

[Ding—]

A cold, mechanical system prompt that resounded in every corner of the [Dungeon] exploded without warning.

[Ultimate BOSS · Imperial Guard Emperor has been killed, the [Dungeon] will end early.]

[Remaining points will be calculated and distributed at 100% within the countdown time.]

[All Contestants, please prepare for evacuation. [Dungeon] closing countdown: 10 minutes.]
