160: Chapter 160 I'm so kind

Arrow of the Moon's health was rapidly draining.

Her proud head was lowered in powerlessness for the first time. Those starry eyes that once looked down upon all living beings now only reflected a single figure.

That one and only free figure.

She didn't call for help; she just took out a blood vial and drank it.

She could buy one second, then another.

However, judging by the speed at which the BOSS's health bar was dropping, she would definitely fall before the BOSS did.

That glance was filled with too many complex emotions: unwillingness, astonishment, and a primal yearning for a miracle that even she hadn't noticed.

Chen You noticed that gaze.

Why are you looking at me?

Hoping I'll save you?

Big sister, what if my precious newbie protection period gets used up?

Who would bear that risk?

No, that's not right.

Chen You suddenly felt the kindness deep within his heart stirred.

Sigh, I'm just too soft-hearted.

If I put in a little more effort and make this BOSS die faster, wouldn't that save a few people from dying?

Doing one good deed a day brings boundless merit.

I am truly too kind.

Chen You was instantly moved by his own noble sentiments and made up his mind.

Previously, in order to maintain the crowd-control immunity status of Control Below, he had been meticulously calculating his spiritual energy consumption, limiting his output to an 'AFK mode'.

But now...

It was time to empty the clip!

He no longer hesitated and pulled out a pill from his storage space.

The pill was perfectly round, enveloped in divine light on its surface. As soon as it appeared, the surrounding air seemed to become livelier by a fraction.

immortal grade qi gathering pill!

Chen You casually tossed it into his mouth. The pill dissolved instantly upon contact, transforming into an indescribable, majestic warm current that surged through his limbs and bones.

Boom!

An invisible storm of spiritual energy exploded outward with Chen You at the center!

His entire body seemed to transform into a black hole, a human-shaped 'spirit-sucking machine' with 600% increased efficiency, crazily devouring the ambient spiritual energy of the Wind and Snow Divine Mountain.

Increasing the spiritual energy absorption speed didn't just boost cultivation efficiency; it also boosted mana recovery efficiency!

The spiritual power value, which was originally replenishing like a trickle, now surged back to full at an unreasonably fast rate, as if a floodgate had been opened, and it was still continuously soaring!

"Full firepower on."

Chen You murmured softly, his gaze becoming incredibly serious.

With a thought, the two yuhuang swords, which had been weaving back and forth, suddenly changed their attack pattern!

They were no longer simply shuttling back and forth and slashing; instead, they accelerated sharply, transforming into two extremely brilliant streams of golden light.

One on the left and one on the right, pressed tightly against the inner wall of the BOSS's massive head, they began to spin at a frantic, high speed!

Whir— Whir—!

A harsh sound, like metal grinding, echoed through the heavens!

That was no longer swordsmanship; it was more like a super angle grinder pressed against the Monarch's forehead!

Two golden halos formed inside the Shadow Monarch's pitch-black skull.

Wherever they passed, dark energy, twisted souls, and the solid body were all ground into the purest particles!

In an instant, the damage numbers went insane!

Before, they popped out in strings; now, the numbers had completely blurred into a golden waterfall!

[-12,765,992! (Weak Point Critical)]

[-12,912,344! (Weak Point Critical)]

[-13,011,228! (Weak Point Critical)]

...

The BOSS's health bar began to evaporate crazily at an unprecedented speed!

16%!

14%!

12%!

10%!

This scene caused the minds of all the imprisoned players to completely crash.

Titan Temple Faction.

Guild Leader Salos's arrogant and untamed face was now blank with shock.

What... what is this?

Am I playing the same game as him?

Shadow of Roman Faction.

Guild Leader Oro, the Oracle who had always been known for his strategy and composure, felt the scaled stripes on his jaw tremble slightly.

He wasn't shocked by the numbers, but terrified by the rule-breaking those numbers represented.

Is there any justice left in the world?

What is this attack frequency?

Is his mana bar infinite?

Is this... conservation of energy?!

Moon Gods Radiance Faction.

Arrow of the Moon, feeling her life rapidly slipping away, who had already prepared herself to meet death, now had her beautiful eyes wide open.

Only those two 'death halos' spinning frantically inside the Monarch's head remained in her pupils.

She even forgot about her impending doom.

Only one thought remained in her mind.

So... this is his true strength?

"Roar... You... deserve to die!"

The Shadow Monarch finally snapped awake from its targeted game and let out a roar of extreme agony.

It finally realized that some things do not cease to exist just because you choose to ignore them!

Burying your head in the sand is useless!

It tried to mobilize all its strength to extinguish the two 'fires' in its head, but it was too late.

8%!

5%!

3%!

The Shadow Monarch's thousand-meter-tall body began to tremble violently and disintegrate, the dark energy on its surface dissipating like steam.

The pitch-black chains that had imprisoned millions of players also began to emit 'crackling' sounds as they shattered, becoming unstable.

Victory was within sight!

The hearts of all players on the server were in their throats!

Will I survive?

Can I still get the world boss rewards?

This isn't a dream, right?

1%!

0%!

"Foolish Adventurer, a new Shadow... will eventually consume everything!"

With a deafening crash, the Shadow Monarch's head completely exploded, and its massive body turned into countless black light particles, dissipating into the snow and wind.

The golden announcement covering the entire Source Realm sounded immediately after.

[World Announcement: Congratulations to [immortal path pioneer · Chen You (LV20)] for completing the slaying of the world boss · Shadow Monarch! Damage Contribution Rate: 90.7%! Awarded the World First Kill Achievement!]

[World Announcement: [Shadow Monarch] has been vanquished, the Shadow Corrosion effect in the Wind and Snow Divine Mountain area has been cleared!]

On the Wind and Snow Plain, as the chains completely vanished, the millions of players who regained their freedom were stunned for a second before erupting into earth-shattering cheers!

"I'm still alive! We are the champions!"

"Big Shot Chen You is awesome!!!"

"90.7%? Did I read that right? He single-handedly dealt ninety percent of the damage?!"

"He's not single-handedly! If we round up, the Big Shot and I killed the world boss!"

"From now on, my surname is Chen, no one can stop me!"

Countless gazes filled with awe, fervor, and worship focused uniformly on the figure standing calmly in the center of the battlefield.

However, Chen You at this moment paid no attention to the external clamor.

His gaze was fixed tightly on the two items he had just obtained.

The first was a magnificent treasure chest wreathed in purple-gold light.

[Brave One's Treasure Chest (Shadow Monarch · First Reward)]

[Quality: Mythic]

[Description: The glory belonging to the victor. Only the brave one who inflicted the highest damage contribution on the world boss is qualified to open this unique gift.]

Chen You didn't rush to open it; his attention was drawn to the other piece of loot.

It was a crown made entirely of solidified shadow and shattered starlight.

It had no physical form, resembling an eternally spinning black vortex. Just looking at it made one feel as if their soul was about to be sucked in.

[Shadow Crown]

[Quality: ???]
