228: Chapter 228 The Sky Overlord's Mentality Collapses

Veraphil's massive dark Roc true form, under the blood-red sky of the [Infinite Beast Domain], was like a moving cloud of disaster.

Each flap of its wings stirred up space-tearing, dark green gales, sufficient to tear the Domain of any Tier 8 powerhouse into shreds.

Its sharp claws shimmered with a ghostly light; every time they reached out, it was accompanied by the piercing shriek of [Space-Rending Claws], as if it wanted to rip this ancient beast Domain apart as well.

It was strong.

As a Tier 9 World Lord BOSS that had ravaged the Blue Star for decades and was as famous as the West Sea Overlord, its strength was unquestionable.

[Thousand Wind Blades] transformed into death scythes dancing across the sky, sealing every possible angle of Lu Chen's evasion.

[Shackles of the Sky] emerged from the void like venomous snakes, attempting to bind Lu Chen's movements.

The shadow of the [Skyfall Strike] attack covered vast areas again and again.

It even utilized the powerful active effect of its [Myriad Wind Forms] talent, constantly transforming into various powerful forms.

The giant form's [Shockwave Stomp] shook the earth, while [Gravitational Pressure] made the air feel incredibly heavy.

The wind cyclone form's [Wind Erosion] aura was like a maggot on the bone, constantly weakening all resistances.

And the summoned [Eye of the Storm] pulled everything in, coordinating with the chain explosions of the [Disaster Wind Mark], pushing the danger of the battle to the extreme.

If Guild Master Xuanyuan Jing or Great Elder Long Bayun were here, even working together, they would likely have been in precarious situations or even met their end under this stormy, treacherous, and ever-changing offensive.

But its opponent was Lu Chen.

It was Lu Chen, who bore [Infinite Evolution], ruled the [Infinite Beast Domain], possessed [Nine Beasts into One] and numerous Forbidden Spells, and carried a Heaven-Defying rule-based item like the [resurrection ring]!

Facing Veraphil's storm-like attacks, Lu Chen's expression remained calm, and the Ancient Beast Domain was as stable as Mount Tai!

His nine main beast pets were connected to his life, and his immense vitality, like a vast ocean, shared all the damage.

The Azure Dragon's [All Things Rejuvenate] and Lu Chen's own [Life Divine Spring] complemented each other; his wounds often healed the instant they appeared.

The [Myriad Beast Divine Armor] significantly weakened and reflected the force of attacks that penetrated his defenses.

Veraphil's [Space-Rending Claws] could indeed tear space, but Lu Chen's [Divine Concealment] Forbidden Spell made him like a ghost, weaving between the real and the void.

[Teleportation] had no cooldown; with a mere thought, he could appear in any corner of the battlefield, and those deadly claw strikes often only tore apart the afterimages he left behind.

[Shackles of the Sky]?

Before they could even reach him, they were detected in advance by the [Eye of the Ringed Heavens]. Lu Chen would either dodge the range of the magic circle in advance or directly pierce and annihilate the chains along with the circle using [Holy Spear: Oath of the End]!

The destructive shadow of the [Skyfall Strike]?

Lu Chen was too lazy to dodge with full effort. Sometimes he would directly activate the [Celestial War Body], his body surging with divine light to hard-tank the aftermath of the strike, while his god-slaying spear thrust upward, leaving deep scratches on Veraphil's sharp claws and splashing a spray of dark green divine blood!

"Roar! Brat! Let's see how long you can withstand this Dominator's offensive!"

Unable to win after a long attack, Veraphil let out an angry shriek. The sound waves turned into a tangible shock, shaking the void of the beast Domain.

"Heh! The question is how long you can last!"

Lu Chen's figure appeared above its head, the god-slaying spear carrying the crimson glow of the [Killing Mark], simply and directly thrusting down!

Pfft!

The [World-Breaking] and [Holy Erosion] effects contained in the spear tip easily tore through Veraphil's protective disaster wind barrier and plunged deep into its back.

"I was just getting familiar with your attack patterns."

Lu Chen's voice was flat and waveless. He pulled out the spear, bringing out a trail of blood, and his figure disappeared again, dodging Veraphil's furious counter-swipe.

Veraphil was terrified.

All of its trump cards.

In front of this brat, they seemed to have lost their usual intimidation.

The opponent's speed, reaction, and perception of spatial fluctuations had reached an unfathomable level!

What made it even more incomprehensible was that there was one time it clearly seized an opportunity, using its special secret technique [Ten Thousand Feathers Piercing the Heart] to lock onto the opponent, turning their body into a sieve with thousands of feathers containing space-rending power.

It saw with its own eyes that the opponent's health bar had been emptied.

Yet the opponent could still fight in Peak condition.

"Impossible!"

Veraphil's pupils shrank to needle-points; this exceeded its category of understanding.

"How could you not die? How could the rules allow this?"

"Rules are meant to be broken!"

Lu Chen chuckled.

This sentence was like the last straw, crushing the invincible belief that Veraphil had accumulated for decades.

Can't kill it!

It simply couldn't be killed!

It couldn't overpower it with stats, skills hit but healed instantly, and even if it luckily "killed" it once, the opponent could still be full of vigor!

How was this supposed to be fought?

Fear!

For the first time, it coiled around the heart of this Sky Overlord.

It began to attack frantically regardless of the cost. [Death Storm] was activated early, and the entire beast Domain turned into a storm purgatory. It attacked crazily, attempting to tear this "monster" to shreds in the most violent posture.

Lu Chen finally stopped holding back as well.

Roar!

The dragon's roar shook the nine heavens!

[Power of Prairie Dragon Fire] was activated. Lu Chen's figure expanded rapidly. Amidst the brilliant golden light, a majestic and sacred Xia flame Dragon with flying scales and claws emerged!

The Dragon whipped its tail, shattering the sky full of wind blades.

The Dragon claws reached out, hard-tanking the space-rending strikes.

The dragon's breath sprayed, and the scorching dragon fire ignited and purified even the dark green disaster winds!

In the [Nine Beasts into One] state.

Lu Chen could completely abandon defense and attack with all his might.

The lightning of [Thunder Punishment World Destroyer] and the torrent of beast shadows from [Ten Thousand Beasts Celestial Stars] intertwined, carving out a pure land amidst the storm.

The holy spear glow of [Oath of the End] pierced through Veraphil's defenses again and again, leaving behind wounds that were difficult to heal.

Veraphil became more desperate the more it fought.

Its space-rending ability consumed a huge amount of energy, which would originally have been enough to support it for a long, high-intensity battle.

But in front of an opponent like Lu Chen, who was immortal and could constantly inflict effective damage on it, its mana and spirit were being consumed at an unprecedented speed.

One day passed...

Two days passed...

For the Sky Overlord, every minute and every second was torture.

The cracks on Veraphil's body grew more numerous, its wings were tattered, and its aura was like a flickering candle in the wind, rising and falling violently.

In its huge pupils, the coldness and indifference of the past had long been replaced by fear and collapse.

"How could this be? Is this reasonable?"

It let out a shrill cry, attempting to activate its space-rending ability to flee this beast Domain that filled it with despair.

But, it was too late.

The flame Dragon that Lu Chen had incarnated coiled in the sky, its dragon eyes looking down indifferently: "In my Domain, do you think you can come and go as you please?"

The space-rending travel that Veraphil launched with its last ounce of strength only stirred up ripples at the edge of the beast Domain, completely unable to break through or escape.

As long as Lu Chen didn't truly die once, the Domain could exist forever.

"It's over."

Seeing that the Sky Overlord no longer had the strength to support its space-rending ability, the Dragon that Lu Chen had become swooped down. Its dragon mouth opened wide, and it was no longer dragon breath, but the ultimate effect of the [Infinite Beast Domain] — [Ten Thousand Beasts Bow to the Firmament]!

Above the firmament, ten thousand Divine Beasts let out heaven-shaking roars!

The terrifying power gathered from the ancient primordial era turned into a torrent that destroyed everything. Along with the Dragon's swoop, it completely engulfed Veraphil!

"No!!!"

Veraphil let out its final shriek, full of unwillingness and fear. Its massive body disintegrated inch by inch under the trampling and tearing of the ten thousand beasts, and its dark green blood spilled like a rainstorm, only to be evaporated by the power of the beast Domain.

When everything calmed down.

Veraphil's tattered body fell from the sky like a meteorite, crashing heavily onto the ancient Gobi desert, splashing up a sky full of smoke and dust.

It was on the verge of death, its pupils dilated, and it didn't even have the strength to condense a wind cluster.

Lu Chen dispelled his dragon transformation, his figure slowly descending, standing in front of it, the god-slaying spear pointing obliquely at the ground, with the Overlord's dark green blood dripping from the tip.

Lu Chen looked down at this once arrogant Sky Overlord, his voice calm and waveless, yet carrying an awe-inspiring majesty:

"Speak!"

"You suddenly invaded the Eastern Border of Xia, what exactly was your purpose?"
