11: Chapter 11: Battle Begins at the Demon King's Lair! The Lord Clashes Head-on with the Abyss Demon King, Obtaining an Exclusive Demon King Set.

The one-minute rest period ended.

Lin Chen reached out and pushed open the pitch-black gates of the Demon King's Lair.

Behind the gates, a cold wind howled, dark red magma flowed across the ground, and a massive bone throne stood in the center of the lair.

[System: Abyss Level 4 — Demon King's Lair entered.]

[System: Environmental debuff: Demon King's Curse, player attack power -20%, defense -15%.]

[System: Guardian monsters: Demon Flame Guards, Hell Spellcasters, strength increased by 500%.]

A scorching yet cold aura rushed toward them, and the players all shivered in unison.

"My attack power dropped by a full fifth! This curse is too ruthless!"

"Healer, buff me quickly! I feel like I can't even land a single hit on the monsters!"

Lin Chen's eyes turned cold.

He raised his hand and unleashed a golden Lord Aura.

[System: Lin Chen released Aura: Curse Breaker, the entire team is immune to all negative curses.]

The next second, the players' stats were instantly restored, and the debuff completely vanished.

"Brother Chen is the eternal god! He breaks curses just like that!"

"With the Lord here, no demons or monsters stand a chance!"

As the words fell, two massive figures suddenly rose from the magma pools on either side of the throne.

The Demon Flame Guards were wreathed in black fire, wielding massive lava hammers, and every step they took made the ground tremble.

The Hell Spellcasters floated in the air, their withered palms gathering black spell energy, their eyes sinister and terrifying.

[System: Demon Flame Guard (Elite), Level 16, HP 20,000.]

[System: Hell Spellcaster (Elite), Level 17, HP 18,000, Skill: Curse Kill.]

"Everyone, form up! Shield guards in front, mages focus fire on the Spellcasters!"

Lin Chen gripped the abyss battle axe and charged forward first.

The battle axe Cleaved into the chest of the foremost Demon Flame Guard, and the black fire was instantly suppressed by the golden power.

[System: Lin Chen caused Armor Penetration damage! Demon Flame Guard HP -68,000!]

One-hit kill!

The players were stunned, then immediately followed up with explosive damage.

Brute No. 1 swung his orange-grade Blood Demon Warblade, the blade light slicing several meters away.

[System: Player Brute No. 1 triggered orange gear passive! Area damage +200%!]

Iron Shield Little King held the front line, his purple-grade Purgatory Greaves glowing brilliantly as he forcefully withstood three massive hammer strikes.

"These greaves are so tanky! The gear Brother Chen gives is just tough!"

Monsters fell in droves, and EXP poured in crazily.

White lights of leveling up burst forth one after another.

[System: Player Lying Flat Player leveled up! Current level 10!]

[System: Player Ice Emperor leveled up! Current level 11!]

[System: Player Cannot Be Healed to Death leveled up! Current level 10!]

Lying Flat Player hugged his staff and jumped high.

"I'm finally level ten! I can wear new gear! Lord Big Shot is the GOAT!"

"I can even catch up to the main force while lying flat; this gaming experience is maxed out!"

The Hell Spellcasters suddenly raised their hands in unison, and dense black curse arrows shot toward the squishy units in the back row.

"Watch out for the spells!"

Lin Chen warned sharply.

Several players couldn't dodge in time, and their HP plummeted instantly.

Seeing this, Lin Chen backhanded a wave of Lord Pressure.

[System: Hell Spellcasters were intimidated, movement stalled for 3 seconds!]

The players seized the gap and counterattacked crazily.

Fireballs, ice arrows, and arrow rain covered the field instantly, and over a dozen Spellcasters turned to ash on the spot.

Blue and purple lights flickered on the ground in succession, and several pieces of gear rolled out.

[System: Loot — Demon Flame Belt (Purple gear), Spell Ring (Blue gear) x3.]

The players exploded with excitement.

"Another purple gear drop! Loot is endless when Brother Chen leads the team!"

"I wouldn't dare dream of this drop rate in other guilds!"

Lin Chen kicked the Demon Flame Belt to Iron Shield Little King.

"Max out your defense, keep tanking."

Iron Shield Little King nodded excitedly, immediately equipping the new gear.

The battle lasted for a full fifteen minutes.

Most of the mobs in the lair were cleared, and the ground was covered in gold coins and materials.

The players were still in top condition, their morale at an all-time high.

Suddenly!

The black bone carving on the throne suddenly opened its eyes!

The entire lair shook violently, the magma churned and boiled, and black-red demonic energy soared into the sky.

[System: Abyss Final BOSS — Abyss Demon King Baal has awakened!]

[System: BOSS Level 20, Mythical Grade, HP 5 million!]

[System: Warning: Abyss Demon King possesses a one-hit kill skill, please fight with caution!]

Rumble!

The bone throne shattered with a boom.

A giant Demon King, ten meters tall, slowly stood up, with twisted black horns on its head, bat wings spread behind it, and a Demon King's Halberd burning with hellfire in its hand.

A terrifying pressure washed over them.

The players' legs went weak, and they could barely stand.

"5 million HP? Mythical BOSS? How are we supposed to fight this?"

"This BOSS is way too tanky! I couldn't even scratch its HP in a year!"

Baal swung the Demon King's Halberd, and a beam of black halberd light swept out.

The three shield guards in the front row were killed instantly and sent back to the city without even a scream.

[System: Player Tough Tanker was killed by Baal!]

[System: Player Iron Shield Little King was killed by Baal!]

The few ran back from the resurrection point, their faces sour enough to drip water.

"I'm tired of running from the respawn point! If I die again, I'm just going to lie flat and wait for the clear!"

"One-shotting a fully geared shield guard, this BOSS isn't meant for humans to fight!"

Baal roared at the sky, the magma ground cracked with countless fissures, and Demon Flame mobs surged out crazily again.

"Mobs plus the BOSS, this is a recipe for a wipe!"

"Brother Chen, think of something! We can't hold on!"

Lin Chen's eyes turned cold.

"Everyone, clear the mobs, leave the BOSS to me."

As the words fell, Lin Chen activated dual forms immediately!

Lord Form + Abyss Form activated simultaneously!

Golden and black light intertwined, one black and one gold wing spread behind him, and his aura soared to the extreme.

[System: Lin Chen activated dual forms, all stats +120%, damage immunity +60%.]

He gripped the abyss battle axe, stomped his foot, and his figure instantly rushed in front of Baal.

The battle axe and halberd collided fiercely!

Clang—!!!

The loud noise made the entire lair buzz.

[System: Lin Chen blocked successfully! Rebound damage 120,000!]

Baal's massive body was knocked back three steps, and for the first time, fear appeared in its eyes.

"Mythical grade? Nothing special."

Lin Chen said calmly.

The players were stunned.

"Brother Chen is going head-to-head with a Mythical BOSS? This combat power is outrageous!"

"Who dares to say the Abyss Demon King is invincible? In front of Brother Chen, it's just a little brother!"

Lin Chen didn't give Baal any chance to catch its breath.

The battle axe Cleaved in a series!

Dawn Sword!

Abyss Roar!

Myriad Heavens Judgment!

The three ultimate skills exploded in succession, and golden and black light engulfed Baal's body.

[System: Critical Hit! -168,000!]

[System: Fatal Strike! -220,000!]

[System: Continuous Burning! Baal loses 20,000 HP per second!]

The 5 million HP dropped visibly to the naked eye.

The players cleared the mobs frantically, eyes fixed on the center of the battlefield.

"Brother Chen's solo damage is higher than our whole team combined!"

"Is this the true strength of a Lord? I love it!"

Baal was furious to the extreme, and a dazzling black-red halo lit up on its chest.

[System: Baal is charging ultimate skill — Demon King's World-Ending Slash, releases in 2 seconds!]

[System: Warning: This skill can one-shot all players on the field!]

The players' faces turned pale.

"It's over, it's over! We're going to be wiped out in one wave!"

"Who can block this move!"

Lin Chen's eyes narrowed sharply.

He poured all his Lord Power, Abyss Power, and Myriad Heavens Power into the battle axe.

A hundred-meter-tall phantom of the axe light condensed above his head, golden light breaking through the top of the lair.

"Ultimate · Myriad Heavens Judgment!"

The axe light smashed down with a boom!

The moment the Demon King's World-Ending Slash collided with the ultimate skill, the whole world seemed to freeze.

Rumble!!!

The black-red energy shattered completely!

The ultimate axe light smashed onto Baal's head, splitting it from crown to crotch, slicing it in two!

[System: Fatal Finish! Damage 888,000!]

[System: Abyss Demon King Baal has been killed by Lin Chen!]

[System: Server Announcement: Player Lin Chen has achieved the first kill of a Mythical BOSS, unlocking the Myriad Heavens Abyss achievement!]

[System: Lin Chen leveled up! Current level 15!]

[System: Territory level automatically increased to Level 3! All special buildings unlocked!]

Golden light burst forth!

A rain of gear, more dazzling than any before, fell from the sky!

Orange gear, red gear, Mythical-grade fragments, Demon King set, limited edition titles, massive amounts of gold coins...

It densely covered the entire Demon King's Lair!

The players exploded with excitement.

"Red gear! It's the legendary red gear!"

"Demon King set! A full set of Mythical-grade gear! Brother Chen is a god!"

"The first person on the server to kill a Mythical BOSS! Brother Chen is the number one Lord of the Myriad Heavens!"

"Godly gear everywhere! I've never seen so much gear in my life!"

Lin Chen waved his hand to collect all the items, and the system panel scrolled crazily.

[Demon King's Halberd (Red gear · Limited Edition): Attack power +8888, all stats +2000, critical hit +50%, skill: Demon King's Arrival.]

[Abyss Demon King Set (Mythical Grade): Five-piece set, full set activates Invincible Shield, immune to all control effects.]

[Myriad Heavens Abyss Overlord Title: All stats +30%, territory production +100%, damage to Abyss monsters +200%.]

[Demon King Core: Essential material for advancing to Ultimate Lord.]

[Gold coins x1 million, rare divine materials x999, skill books x10.]

Lin Chen held up the red-grade Demon King's Halberd and tossed it casually to Brute No. 1.

"From now on, main tank output is up to you."

Brute No. 1 caught the halberd, his legs went weak and he fell to his knees, crying out in excitement.

"Red... red gear! Limited edition red gear! Brother Chen, I'll kowtow to you!"

"From now on, whoever you tell me to chop, I'll chop! I'm willing to go through fire and water for you!"

Lin Chen then distributed parts of the Abyss Demon King set to the core players in the team.

Iron Shield Little King, Ice Emperor, Fireball Dharma King, and Cannot Be Healed to Death each received one, and their stats went through the roof.

[System: Entire team equipped with godly gear, overall combat power increased by 1000%!]

The other players' eyes turned red with envy, but not a single person was jealous.

"Brother Chen's gear distribution is always fair! Following him is never a loss!"

"Work hard on damage! Next time, I'll get godly gear too!"

In the deepest part of the lair, a golden light gate leading to the Main City of All Heavens slowly opened.

[System: Abyss dungeon fully cleared! You may return to the Main City of All Heavens to claim the ultimate reward!]

The players cheered and jumped for joy, their shouts almost blowing off the roof of the lair.

"Cleared! We cleared the Mythical dungeon!"

"First on the server! We are the number one guild on the server!"

Lin Chen stood before the golden light gate, the wind rustling his robes.

He looked down at his stat panel: level 15, combat power one million, red gear in hand, Mythical title equipped.

The powerhouses of the Main City of All Heavens would soon know his name.

Only by continuously growing stronger and sweeping away all powerful enemies could he gain a foothold in the Myriad Heavens.

Lin Chen said calmly: "Everyone, gather up, returning to the Main City of All Heavens."

The players lined up neatly, their momentum soaring to the sky.

"Received!"

"Follow Brother Chen, conquer the Myriad Heavens!"

"Main City of All Heavens, here we come!"

Lying Flat Player hopped and skipped at the back of the team, giggling at his level 10 panel.

"Clearing a Mythical dungeon, and I actually lay flat and won the whole time, this is too awesome!"

Brute No. 1 brandished the red-grade Demon King's Halberd, his eyes fanatical.

"Next target: Dominate the Main City of All Heavens! Whoever disagrees gets chopped!"

Lin Chen stepped into the golden light gate first.

Light enveloped his body, and the next moment, he would appear in the central Main City of All Heavens.

A new battlefield, new opponents, new glory, were waiting for him.

And he was destined to stand at the very top of the Myriad Heavens!
