108: The ultimate arrow! A strike beyond time and space!

“I refuse to believe you can block everything!”

Lin Ye summoned his Phantom and Clone, then infused Hellfire into his Frost Moon Arrow.

Full power.

Full firepower.

Boom!

Within one second,

tens of thousands of arrows surged towards the Star Devouring Beast's ultimate armor, constructed entirely of metal.

Ding, ding, ding~

The moment the arrows struck, most of them were deflected by the Star Devouring Beast's automatic block.

Only a few managed to hit.

But then they were completely pulverized by the terrifying impact.

“Not enough.”

Lin Ye frowned slightly.

Physical attacks weren't enough, and elemental attacks weren't enough either.

The 'armor penetration' and 'piercing' attributes seemed fake, completely failing to produce their intended effect.

It just wouldn't break through its defense.

“Is a Saint-tier simply possessing the ability to exceed limits?”

Lin Ye recalled what the Queen had said earlier.

If

the Star Devouring Beast's Saint-tier ability was an absolute, transcendent defense, then perhaps nothing short of Myth-tier methods could break through it!

Physical, magical, and elemental attacks—none would work!

Armor penetration and piercing were ineffective against Saint-tiers!

Or rather, they were ineffective against Saint-tiers who mastered absolute defense.

Lin Ye abandoned his arrows and switched to Hellfire Sword slashes and burns.

This time,

it finally had an effect.

The Hellfire Sword, which wasn't automatically blocked, could carve a faint crack in the metal wall.

“Purely in terms of damage, the Hellfire Sword is at least twice as effective as a combination of physical and elemental attacks.”

“Furthermore, Hell Black Flame itself isn't an ordinary element; it's a special power, indeed qualified to break through defenses, but this efficiency…”

Lin Ye couldn't hold back his frustration.

Even with thousands of slashes per second, he only managed to chip off a bit of metal debris.

A few seconds later,

the Hellfire Sword had only cut in a few inches.

“Has the chance of automatic blocking decreased?”

Lin Ye confirmed it.

After the metal wall showed damage, the Hellfire Sword's hit rate increased significantly, nearing fifty percent.

Efficiency greatly improved.

He could cut in one inch per second.

But…

Lin Ye still hadn't heard any feedback from the metal wall.

It was as if

this thing was made of pure solid material, and he had no idea how thick it was.

Hiss!!

Lin Ye couldn't help but gasp.

“No wonder that Time-Space Sword Saint had to fight with his life to kill a non-Saint-tier Star Devouring Beast.”

“Its defense is too abnormal.”

“And the Star Sea is too special; there's simply no time.”

“If this were normal terrain, a normal map, and I had a few more minutes, at most ten minutes, I could definitely kill it!”

Thinking of this,

Lin Ye sighed inwardly.

Unfortunately,

he didn't have those few minutes now.

In fact…

he didn't even have one minute!

“Hmph!”

Lin Ye took a deep breath and directly pulled out the Time-Space Retracing Arrow.

A Myth-tier arrow.

With trans-dimensional striking capability.

“Ultimate Arrow!”

As Lin Ye activated the skill, Space-Time Power condensed in his hand.

Snap!

A thousand time-space crystals

were crushed simultaneously.

So many crystals would have been enough to upgrade the Star Tower.

Now, they were all consumed for a single skill, a single attack.

This was his one and only chance.

Because he only had this one Myth-tier arrow.

Lin Ye was truly staking everything now.

Target…

locked onto the Star Devouring Beast's core!

Time

ticked by, second by second.

Ten seconds of charging completed.

Lin Ye still didn't let go.

“After consuming so many time-space crystals, if there's another core defense layer once I reach the Star Devouring Beast's core, then forget it, it'll be a complete loss!”

Lin Ye certainly couldn't accept that outcome.

Ultimate Arrow.

For every 10 seconds of charging, it could increase the instant kill chance by 1%.

The limit could be increased to about 20%.

But Lin Ye didn't have 100 seconds, only 50 seconds.

That was about 15%.

This chance was still too low; it wasn't worth the gamble.

But his Phantom was still active, and his clone was also there.

Although probability is a mysterious thing, 15% + 15% doesn't necessarily equal 30%.

But as long as the quantity is sufficient, the probability will still increase significantly.

The only problem

was whether his own damage could reach the instant kill threshold.

Lin Ye was uneasy.

Truly uneasy.

Even though the Space-Time Power condensing in his hand was now radiating dazzling light, and even the surrounding space-time was subtly beginning to distort,

Lin Ye was still uneasy.

“In for a penny, in for a pound! All in!”

All time-space crystals, all un-synthesized time and space crystals, were put all in.

Hell Black Flame.

All of it infused.

Fifty seconds passed quickly.

Lin Ye also had to divert his attention to fend off the Star Devouring Beast's increasingly fierce impacts.

If he waited any longer,

his glove's durability might not be enough for resurrection.

“End this!”

Lin Ye's eyes were cold as he softly uttered three words, and the finger holding the Time-Space Retracing Arrow finally released.

Boom~!!

The moment the Retracing Arrow shot out, the surrounding space-time suddenly solidified.

Then,

the entire space seemed to be violently compressed like a spring.

In the next instant,

the Retracing Arrow pierced through this compressed space-time, and the entire spring, having been compressed to its limit, completely released.

It exploded outwards like a demolition.

There was no sound of impact.

The metal wall, which Lin Ye had been hacking at for a while, was now like cotton in front of the Retracing Arrow.

Before the arrow tip even arrived,

the explosive space-time alone directly squeezed out a void.

Then,

the Retracing Arrow, enveloped in Space-Time Power, passed through unimpeded, directly penetrating dozens of meters of metal wall, and after it flew past, it completely shredded all that metal.

Transposition.

Lin Ye followed the Retracing Arrow, moving forward.

Seeing the thickness of the metal wall now, he secretly thought it was outrageous.

This guy,

even if it just lay there motionless, it would probably take players a year to kill.

After breaking through the inner armor,

the Star Devouring Beast's interior was almost undefended.

In just an instant,

the Retracing Arrow broke through a distance of over a thousand meters, directly reaching the core.

Ding!

Layers of crystal-constructed core barriers appeared before the Retracing Arrow.

“As expected!”

Lin Ye knew this thing focused on defense; it wouldn't just defend the outside and ignore the core.

Now,

this final core, a shield over a hundred meters in diameter, was almost entirely constructed of time-space crystals.

If one were to count the number,

it would probably be more than hundreds of thousands.

The Retracing Arrow, carrying Space-Time Power, was now slightly slowed by the time-space crystal barrier.

But,

it was only a perceived slowdown due to the distorted and compressed space-time.

The moment the Retracing Arrow touched the time-space crystal barrier,

with a click,

the core shield shattered, revealing the Star Devouring Beast's brain core, like a star.

Pfft~

One arrow pierced through!

The health bar on the brain core instantly dropped by more than thirty percent.

- 70.252 million critical hit! Armor penetration! Piercing!

The next second,

all of the Star Devouring Beast's skill operations, countless Star Power, were about to surge from its body, directly rushing towards the brain core.

Star Devouring Beast.

If its body wasn't completely destroyed,

its brain core could continuously regenerate health.

Crucially,

it wasn't some percentage-based recovery, but rather an instant full recovery.

But this time,

even with instant recovery, it didn't have time.

After the first Retracing Arrow pierced through, it directly exploded.

The damage exploded again.

Instantly pushing its health below fifty percent.

Then,

the Retracing Arrow shot by the Phantom arrived.

Bang!

It directly plunged into the brain core and instantly exploded!

Boom, boom, boom!

Three Retracing Arrows exploded almost simultaneously.

Instant kill triggered.

The health bar instantly emptied.

Then,

annihilation occurred within the brain core's range, presenting a desolate area where even light struggled to escape.

[Ding~]
