172: Chapter 172: Another Battle Against a Mythical Level, Unstoppable Power!

The sky was pitch black, and the surroundings were dim.

Cold winds blew through from time to time.

Throughout the entire Dungeon, there had always been such an extremely uncomfortable atmosphere.

The rugged, ever-changing, and complex terrain was another major characteristic.

Fortunately, Zhang Jian was unaffected, thanks to the traits of his equipment.

The wind walker mech piloted by Ye Tianchen was even more capable, treating the ground as if it were flat due to its agility and movement speed bonuses.

Since neither side was hindered by the environment, their progress was naturally much faster.

Although Zhang Jian's attack power hadn't increased for a while, with the bonuses from his super-high critical hit rate and critical hit damage, he was still one-shotting everything in this Dungeon.

The people in the mech watched and cheered, feeling completely satisfied.

Wei Baichuan, in particular, shed his usual composure and was visibly excited.

Any random mob in here had an attack power comparable to an Elite monster of his own Rank.

If one accounted for the Hells Power buff, they were even equivalent to the Boss-level monsters he usually encountered while grinding Dungeons.

Yet, monsters like these required at least five Level 58 Elite Professionals working together to challenge.

They were difficult monsters that took at least 10 minutes to defeat.

In Zhang Jian's hands, a single sword strike wiped out a large group.

Such attack power had already made Wei Baichuan feel inferior and cry out that it was monstrous.

But as they delved deeper into the Dungeon and encountered even stronger Leaders, Elites, and even excellence-grade Boss monsters, Zhang Jian could still one-shot them with a single strike.

Wei Baichuan couldn't sit still anymore.

"Isn't this a bit too much?"

He had seen it clearly just now using his Detection Skill.

That Level 65 wolf-type Boss possessed 150,000 base defense and 31 million base HP.

With the Hells Power buff, its defense skyrocketed to 900,000, and its HP reached a staggering 150 million.

Among its four innate skills, one was a passive that increased damage blocking effects.

Yet, such a terrifying existence, after Zhang Jian shouted "Sword Qi Slash," was reduced to a pile of debris under the swarming Sword Qi.

Four pieces of loot, shimmering with various colors, floated into the air and landed inside the wind walker's built-in storage.

Aside from Instructor Wang Weidong, who looked astonished and kept exclaiming in disbelief, the others remained calm, as if they found it perfectly normal.

This reaction made Wei Baichuan's entire body go numb.

Had the world really become this insane?

Could one-shotting a Hell-difficulty Boss while 35 levels lower no longer even excite people?

As the monsters they encountered grew stronger—legendary rank Bosses, epic-grade Bosses, and finally, a terrifying giant beast massive enough to block out the sky.

After various trait buffs, it was a mythical level Boss with 300 million HP and 5 million damage absorption.

It also had six attack skills, which it used repeatedly against the wind walker and Zhang Jian.

Every time it attacked, it dealt millions in damage.

Ye Tianchen looked grim as he constantly used the pre-prepared Materials to restore the wind walker's durability.

Yet Zhang Jian, bathed in Sword Qi, remained expressionless.

Seeing that the Boss had suppressed the wind walker, preventing the people inside from attacking, the Boss unleashed its various control skills on Zhang Jian as if they were free.

But after all sorts of powerful auras and mysterious lights fell upon him, only a portion of them actually affected Zhang Jian.

Once Ye Tianchen caught his breath and maneuvered the wind walker forward, Ye Xun timely released the few skills he had mastered.

Under the enhancement of the Heavenly Dao rewards, the priority of these skills had greatly increased.

Although there were still instances of failure, the success rate was a world of difference compared to before.

In just a few moments, Zhang Jian's body returned to normal.

With just a slight movement, damage in the tens of millions started popping up one after another.

As soon as the Boss's HP dropped a little, it immediately activated its Invincible Golden Body state.

Just when Wei Baichuan thought Zhang Jian would have to retreat and wait, he saw Zhang Jian continue to press forward.

Sword Qi raged, and several dark gray damage numbers appeared one after another.

It gave him quite a shock.

"What kind of move is this, that it can even deal damage during an invincibility state?"

Seeing that things weren't going well, the Boss changed tactics.

It broke out of its invincibility state, roared at the sky, and summoned countless monsters.

These monsters, countless times smaller than it, were all semi-transparent.

The wind walker piloted by Ye Tianchen could even pass right through their bodies.

But these seemingly harmless things kept unleashing attacks.

Every dark, ghostly beam was a type of true spiritual damage.

The wind walker only stayed for a few seconds, and its HP plummeted.

Terrified, Ye Tianchen hurriedly piloted it away from the battlefield.

Once they were clear, Zhang Jian was completely surrounded by these summoned creatures.

In the Domain formed by Sword Qi, several transparent shields were teetering on the edge of breaking, being struck with loud banging sounds.

The others watched from a distance, their hearts in their throats.

Yet Zhang Jian's expression remained normal; he was completely fearless.

Instead, he took the opportunity to use his long-unused area-of-effect skill, Sky Storm Slash.

Amidst the roaring lightning, giant Sword Qi descended from the sky.

Many people in the mech were seeing Zhang Jian use this skill for the first time.

Everyone looked shocked, their mouths agape; they were completely stunned.

With his current attack power, this skill unleashed terrifying damage beyond imagination.

Lightning Sword Qi and thundercloud chains resonated with each other, weaving back and forth through the pile of monsters.

There were over a hundred summoned creatures, each with 50 million HP.

They even had a 75% physical damage immunity effect.

Even so, they couldn't hold on for even a few seconds.

Under the crackling lightning, they turned into ash one after another.

The countless System notifications popping up made the onlookers exclaim in surprise.

"These were actually legendary rank Bosses; the experience is so high!"

"My god, doesn't this mean he killed 100 legendary rank Bosses all at once?"

"With so many Bosses killed, imagine how much good loot we'll get!"

The summoned creatures were all killed and dissipated into the world.

Naturally, another one of the Boss's means of attack had been countered.

Even though it still had a few trump cards and circled with Zhang Jian for a while, whether it was turning invisible in the darkness or splitting into phantoms to confuse Zhang Jian's vision, everything was countered by Zhang Jian one by one, failing to have any effect.

And when Zhang Jian's fearsome Sword Qi descended once more, this Boss finally reached the final moment of its life.

It fell down unwillingly.

Its body slammed into the ground, making a huge noise.

The impact shook the wind walker, making it unsteady.

But everyone's faces only showed excitement and anticipation.

This was the last one in the Abyss series of Dungeons.

It was also the one with the highest Rank and the strongest monsters.

Even Zhang Jian basically had to go all out to take it down.

Although it only took 14 minutes, it was the longest time spent on a Dungeon run recently.

And to be able to successfully clear such a Dungeon, could they achieve the legendary Limit-Rank difficulty?

By killing such a terrifying Boss, what Heaven-Defying treasures would they ultimately obtain?

The crowd was still guessing.

Wei Baichuan, as one of the recipients designated by Zhang Jian for the Experience Torrent in these last few minutes, looked at the System notifications floating before his eyes and his eyes nearly popped out of his head.
