99: With the power of lightning, the four divine beasts make their appearance!

"Damn it, you think you're the only one who can fly?"

Wings of Gale unfurled, and Lin Yue left the ground, flying directly into mid-air to confront the Phoenix.

Forget about the few pieces of equipment that broke; special equipment was irreplaceable.

In the Land of the Final End, equipment durability cannot be repaired during combat, meaning even if Lin Yue wanted to fix them now, he would have to wait until he was out of combat.

Either die and resurrect, or defeat the Phoenix.

This caused his plan to grind the Phoenix down with True Damage in a war of attrition to be completely aborted.

Stacking health wasn't sustainable for now; he had to find a way to kill the Phoenix quickly.

"Adventurer, I admit I underestimated you, but you are still far from being able to kill me."

The Phoenix was naturally arrogant; seeing Lin Yue fly into mid-air to confront it, its eyes were filled with disdain.

"Is that so? Don't let me beat you until you're calling me daddy!"

Lin Yue moved through the air, his gaze incredibly sharp; he had truly developed a killing intent.

The gold legend growth-type staff, thunder punishment, emitted a dazzling light as elemental power gathered at its tip.

This time, what rose up wasn't fire, but crackling, sparking lightning.

Quickly replenishing his equipment, Lin Yue's robes fluttered without wind. He furrowed his brows and let out a thunderous shout.

"Come, lightning!"

Boom!

Suddenly, a loud explosion echoed in the sky!

Thunder rolled across the sky as dark clouds converged into one massive black cloud. Carrying lightning and sparks, it instantly struck one of the Phoenix's Clones.

A lightning-type chain Spell: Thunder Cloud Spell!

Crack!

A bolt of lightning as thick as a thumb crashed down. Before it could even react, the Phoenix Clone's wing was struck heavily.

-38888!

-38888!

In just the blink of an eye, a series of twelve lightning bolts fell, striking the Phoenix Clone until green smoke rose from its body.

A mournful cry rang out as it fell heavily from the air to the ground.

The damage was so high and the speed so fast that the Phoenix Clone couldn't react at all before being struck down to the ground, feathers and all.

Fire-type Spells had reduced damage against the Phoenix, but the Thunder Cloud Spell was a different story.

This was a pure lightning-type Spell, which could only be resisted by the Phoenix's base magic resistance.

But Lin Yue not only had 34,000 points of magic power now, he also had nearly 10,000 points of True Damage.

Therefore, a single Lightning Spell could deal up to 38,000 damage to the Phoenix.

Twelve lightning bolts tore through the air, dealing a total of over 450,000 damage.

This startled the Phoenix's true body. If it had been the true body that was hit, it wouldn't have been too bad.

But its condensed Clones couldn't handle it; a Clone's maximum health was only three million.

Due to the constraints of the rules, this was the maximum power it could currently wield.

Yet Lin Yue's single Thunder Cloud Spell had taken away one-sixth of the Clone's health.

How could the Phoenix's true body not be afraid!

For the first time since becoming a Divine Beast, it felt a trace of fear toward an Adventurer.

"You like making Clones, don't you? I'll show you Clones!"

Without giving the Phoenix time to react, lightning crackled and fell frantically from the sky like a blue-flame Gatling gun, raining down relentlessly.

Each lightning bolt carried destructive damage, making the Phoenix on the ground scream repeatedly.

No joke, Lin Yue had played with Lightning Magic for many years in his past life. If it weren't for stacking health, he wouldn't have used Chain Fireball for damage at all.

Because of the passive effect of Explosive Flame, Chain Fireball was more cost-effective for stacking health. So even though he had other chain Spells, Lin Yue rarely used them.

Rumble!

Beginner Spell Combo triggered!

staff thunder punishment passive triggered!

In just five seconds, over seventy lightning bolts rained down frantically.

Theoretically, the limit was sixty lightning bolts.

But with Lin Yue's Luck attribute now at five points, no matter how bad his Luck was, he still triggered the passive several times.

Under the roar of lightning power, the Phoenix Clone was soon blasted into a pile of charcoal, so unrecognizable that even its own mother wouldn't know it was a Phoenix.

"Adventurer, you have successfully enraged me!"

Seeing the miserable state of its Clone, the Phoenix finally couldn't take it anymore.

Did he really think a Divine Beast was made of clay?

Phoenix Dance of Nine Heavens!

The remaining three Phoenixes repeated the same trick.

According to its thoughts, although Lin Yue was strong, he wouldn't be able to withstand the repeated bombardment of three Phoenix Dance of Nine Heavens.

As long as all three hit, the Phoenix was confident it could insta-kill Lin Yue.

No one could survive under the attack of nearly ten thousand flame feathers.

This was the Phoenix's instinctive thought.

Looking at the cluster of Spells condensing in mid-air once more, Lin Yue didn't move this time.

He simply aimed his Thunder Cloud Spell at another Phoenix Clone.

It was true that Phoenix Dance of Nine Heavens dealt high damage, but Lin Yue's current damage wasn't low either. He could deal over 450,000 damage in a second, and his Life Steal alone could recover 150,000.

Plus his Vibrant Life passive effect.

Lin Yue decided that even if he had to tank the Phoenix's attacks, he would blast its Clones to death first.

Once the Clones were dead, the Phoenix wouldn't be able to condense them again for a while, allowing him to remain steadily invincible.

Thus, without dodging or evading, Lin Yue maximized his output, directing all the lightning toward another Phoenix Clone.

Rumble!

On one side was thunder, on the other was flame.

Both sides engaged in a magical clash with the determination to kill.

Suddenly, the entire Cavern shook violently.

Crash!

Over nine thousand flame feathers fell from the sky like a torrential rain.

Meanwhile, Lin Yue's Thunder Cloud Spell was like a machine gun, constantly firing and exploding!

For a full five seconds, until the casting time of Phoenix Dance of Nine Heavens passed, Lin Yue's figure was exposed in the air once again.

This time, he looked even more miserable. Not only was his body scorched by flames, but his face was also blackened by the rain of fire.

Predictably, several pieces of the equipment he had just put on were broken again.

Fortunately, none of the three special equipment pieces broke, though their durability was only around ten points, unable to withstand another Phoenix Dance of Nine Heavens attack.

Vibrant Life effect triggered.

Lin Yue, whose health had been reduced to only 400,000, recovered to 70% of his total health within a few seconds.

He had a bit over one million left.

Combined with the fact that Lin Yue killed a Phoenix Clone during the recovery period, his health was sucked back to full again.

It was exactly as Lin Yue had calculated.

The Phoenix's true body looked grim; in just these ten short seconds, its Clones had been broken by Lin Yue.

The key was that its confident fatal blow had still failed to insta-kill Lin Yue.

"You truly are the most powerful Adventurer I have ever seen."

By this point, the Phoenix was truly beaten into submission by Lin Yue.

But Lin Yue wasn't grateful; when the Phoenix was beating him earlier, it hadn't been this polite.

Just as Lin Yue intended to press his advantage and wipe out the Phoenix, which only had twenty million health left, in one go...

A sudden change occurred.

"You two are having quite a lively fight!"

"Haha, Phoenix, this is the first time I've seen you in such a miserable state."

"Tsk tsk, this generation's Person of Destiny is quite fierce!"

Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise—the remaining three Divine Beasts—suddenly appeared on the battlefield.
