39: Chapter 39 God-Slaying Guardian General, the Abyss Overlord's Wrath

The Abyssal Divine Guard's hundred-meter-tall body stepped onto the scorched earth, each stride causing spiderweb-like cracks to splinter across the ground.

Its crimson pupils locked onto Lin Chen as it raised a Blood-Colored Divine Blade, its edge wreathed in world-destroying demonic energy.

The players huddled behind the walls of the sub-base, their faces pale with terror.

"A Level 90 God-level monster! If that blade falls, our entire server will be wiped back to zero!"

"I'm already exhausted from running back after respawning; we really can't hold out against this wave!"

Lin Chen's gaze turned cold.

The demonic flame platinum battle armor tightened automatically as golden light and black flames intertwined around his body.

[Ding! The abyss bane title has been activated. Damage against God-level Abyssal units is increased by an additional 50%.]

[Ding! Myriad Heavens Commander skills are fully active. All attributes of the army under your command have surged by 100%.]

Isabella's six wings fully unfurled, her golden holy light transforming into a canopy that shielded the entire Abyssal sub-base at its center.

[Ding! The Saintess of Light has released a God-level skill: Eternal Holy Shield.]

[Effect: Grants immunity to three God-level attacks and locks the entire team's HP above 90%.]

The Netherworld Bone Dragon roared toward the sky, its wings whipping up fierce winds as icy Dragon Breath condensed frantically within its throat.

The fifty thousand heavy cavalry of the Golden Knights formed a wedge formation, spears leveled diagonally as the sound of their armor clashing echoed in perfect unison.

The Abyssal Divine Guard laughed maniacally and swung its divine blade down violently.

"Puny human, shatter for me!"

A blood-colored blade light spanned a thousand meters; everywhere it passed, space distorted and the air was instantly incinerated.

Lin Chen slammed his foot against the ground and shot into the sky.

With the blade of dawn gripped firmly in hand, the blade's body absorbed the three powers of holy light, dragonic majesty, and lordly might, erupting with a blinding seven-colored radiance.

"Break!"

A horizontal slash!

The seven-colored blade light collided with the blood-colored divine radiance.

BOOM—!!!

The shockwave swept across a ten-thousand-meter radius, flinging up meters of scorched earth while the distant bone towers were instantly reduced to ash.

[Ding! The Lord has shattered a God-level skill head-on, dealing 380,000 points of True Damage to the Abyssal Divine Guard.]

The Abyssal Divine Guard's massive body jolted violently as a shallow blade mark appeared on its chest.

It looked down at the wound, astonishment appearing in its crimson pupils for the first time.

"You actually managed to wound me? Impossible! You are but a lowly human Lord!"

Lin Chen hovered in mid-air, his robes fluttering despite the lack of wind.

As his voice fell, he accelerated again, his figure turning into a streak of light as he lunged straight for the Divine Guardian's face.

The blade of dawn struck three times in rapid succession, every blow hitting the exact same wound.

Squelch!

Black divine blood sprayed out as the Abyssal Divine Guard let out a roar of agony.

"Ah—! I will tear you to shreds!"

The Divine Guardian clenched its fist, and demonic energy exploded from its body.

[Ding! The Abyssal Divine Guard has activated the skill: Demon God Domain.]

[Effect: All enemies within range have their attributes reduced by 70% and are continuously inflicted with Stiff status.]

The black domain instantly enveloped the battlefield. The players felt their bodies grow heavy and their movements became incredibly sluggish.

"A domain skill! This monster's mechanics are way too disgusting!"

"I can't move! Healer, save us!"

Isabella tapped her scepter lightly, and eternal holy light poured down.

[Ding! Holy Light Purification has taken effect, successfully dispelling the Demon God Domain.]

The players regained their mobility instantly, gasping for breath one after another.

Seeing this, Lin Chen seized the opening and leaped onto the Divine Guardian's shoulder.

He stomped his right foot down hard, crushing the Divine Guardian's shoulder armor to pieces.

Concentrating all his strength into his left hand, he smashed a fist into the vital point of the Divine Guardian's neck.

Bang!

A loud thud rang out as the Abyssal Divine Guard's head snapped to the side, its health bar taking a massive hit.

[Ding! The Lord has struck a weak point, dealing 5x Critical Damage!]

[Abyssal Divine Guard's Remaining HP: 62%]

Enraged, the Divine Guardian raised a hand to swat at its own shoulder, intending to crush Lin Chen to death.

Lin Chen leaped away, easily dodging the giant palm.

The palm slammed into the ground, creating a crater a hundred meters wide.

The Netherworld Bone Dragon seized the opportunity, spewing out its icy Dragon Breath.

The extreme cold froze the Divine Guardian's legs, rendering it unable to move.

The Golden Knights took the chance to charge, their spears stabbing deep into the wounds on the Divine Guardian's legs.

"Brothers, deal damage! Don't hold the Big Shot back!"

"Mages, focus fire! Dump all your skills on its head!"

A mass of damage numbers popped up as the Abyssal Divine Guard's health continued to slide.

However, the recovery power of a God-level monster was terrifying; its wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"This BOSS is too tanky! We've been fighting for so long and the health bar has barely moved!"

Lin Chen landed on top of the holy light tower, his eyes fixed on the Abyssal Divine Guard's chest.

A blood-colored divine core was pulsing there—it was the source of its power.

He knew that only by shattering that divine core could he completely slay this monster.

"Isabella, use Saintess's Judgment to strike its divine core!"

"Understood, Lord!"

Isabella gripped the Holy Light Scepter with both hands, frantically channeling all her power into it.

The golden light condensed into a thousand-meter-long holy spear, its tip pointed directly at the Divine Guardian's chest.

[Ding! The Saintess of Light is charging a God-level Ultimate Move: Saintess's Judgment - God-Slaying Form.]

Sensing a fatal threat, the Abyssal Divine Guard began to struggle frantically.

The ice on its legs shattered as it raised its divine blade, intending to smash the holy spear.

Lin Chen would not give it any such chance.

He activated all his equipment passives, his combat power instantly soaring to its limit.

[Ding! The demonic flame platinum battle armor's special effect has been activated. Attack Speed +200%.]

[Ding! The blade of dawn's special effect has been activated. Execution probability has increased to 100%!]

Lin Chen turned into a streak of seven-colored lightning, diving straight down from the holy light tower.

He held the blade of dawn high above his head as the Myriad Heavens Demon-Severing Slash erupted with full force.

"Shatter!"

The holy spear and the golden blade light struck the Abyssal Divine Guard's divine core simultaneously.

Crack—!

The crisp sound of shattering echoed across the battlefield.

The blood-colored divine core instantly splintered, and black divine blood erupted like a fountain.

The Abyssal Divine Guard's movements came to a dead stop, its massive body freezing in place.

A second later, it crashed to the ground, causing the earth to tremble violently.

[Ding! The Lord has successfully killed a Level 90 Lower God-level unit: Abyssal Divine Guard.]

[Gained Experience: 100 million points!]

[Obtained Divine Grade Chest x3, abyssal overlords wrath x1, Divine Core Shards x99.]

[Lord Level Up! Level 41! Level 42! Level 43!]

Three golden pillars of light shot into the clouds. Lin Chen had leveled up three times in a row, his combat power directly breaking through 30 million!

[Lord: Lin Chen]

[Level: 43]

[Territory: Dawn Territory (Purple-Gold Grade)]

[Abyssal Sub-Base: Purple-Gold Grade]

[Combat Power: 31.68 million]

[Special Item: abyssal overlords wrath (Can trigger an abyssal sovereign projection battle)]

A terrifying pressure washed over the area. This power did not come from an enemy, but from Lin Chen's own surging strength.

The remaining abyssal monsters nearby trembled in fear, kneeling and begging for mercy, lacking even the courage to flee.

The players instantly went wild.

"A God-level monster was instakilled? Big Shot, you really are an immortal descended to earth!"

"30 million combat power! All the Lords in the server combined wouldn't even be enough for the Big Shot to beat with one hand!"

Lin Chen landed and casually opened the three Divine Grade Chests.

Golden light shot into the sky as three pieces of God-level equipment, two God-level skill books, and one Myriad Heavens Teleportation Token dropped to the ground.

[God-level · Dawn War-Armor]

[Level: 50]

[Quality: Lower God-level]

[Effect: All Attributes +300%, immunity to all control effects, and 50% damage reflection.]

[God-level · Myriad Heavens Slash]

[Skill Type: Active]

[Effect: Deals ten million points of True Damage to a single target. Guaranteed hit, guaranteed Defense Break, and guaranteed critical hit.]

Lin Chen immediately equipped the God-level · Dawn War-Armor, instantly replacing his previous platinum armor.

Clad in divine armor and wielding his divine blade, Lin Chen's aura surged once more, making him look like a God of War from the myriad heavens.

He tossed the remaining God-level skill book to Isabella.

"You use it."

Isabella bowed as she received it, and the skill book instantly transformed into light, merging into her body.

[Ding! The Saintess of Light has learned the God-level skill: Holy Light Demon Annihilation.]

[Combat power increased to 8 million!]

The players' eyes turned red with envy as they looked at the God-level equipment shards scattered on the ground.

"God-level equipment! This is the first time in my life I've seen it!"

"Lord Big Shot is the GOAT! Following the Big Shot, God-level equipment isn't just a dream!"

Lin Chen picked up the abyssal overlords wrath. Demonic energy swirled atop the item, which continuously emitted angry roars.

[Ding! The Abyssal Sovereign has sensed the death of the Divine Guardian. A projection will descend in ten minutes!]

[Projection Level: Level 95 Mid God-level]

[Warning: Its strength far exceeds that of the Abyssal Divine Guard. It is recommended that the Lord evacuate immediately!]

The server-wide announcement rang out three times in a row, causing the entire Myriad Heavens Lord game to reach a boiling point.

Every player was discussing the news of Lin Chen soloing a God-level monster and his upcoming battle against the Abyssal Sovereign's projection.

The guild leaders of all the major guilds fell into a collective state of depression, lacking even the strength to be jealous.

"While others are still fighting Gold BOSSes, Big Shot Lin Chen has already slain a God and is about to fight a Sovereign!"

"Is this the gap between the ceiling and ordinary people? I'm just going to kneel in submission!"

Although the players were afraid, not a single one suggested retreating.

They gripped the high-quality equipment they had just looted and stood guard on the walls with determined gazes.

"If the Big Shot isn't afraid, what is there for us to fear!"

"Even if we die, we'll block a blade for the Big Shot!"

Lin Chen felt a stir in his heart as he looked at the players and troops under his command.

He opened the territory warehouse and distributed all the surplus Purple-Gold and Platinum equipment.

"One piece for everyone. Max out your gear and prepare to face the Sovereign's projection!"

A massive amount of equipment fell, leaving the players moved to tears.

"The Big Shot is so generous! This wave literally gave everyone god-tier gear!"

"Let's do this! Today, we're going to fight the Abyssal Sovereign to the bitter end!"

Isabella flew to Lin Chen's side, her expression solemn.

"Lord, the Sovereign's projection is extremely powerful. We need to be fully prepared."

Lin Chen nodded and tapped his finger, activating all the defense towers in the Abyssal sub-base.

[Ding! holy light towers, Demon Bane Towers, and Myriad Heavens Cannons are all activated, entering the highest combat state!]

He gripped the blade of dawn, light flowing across his God-level war-armor.

The entire battlefield was silent; everyone was waiting for the ultimate battle in ten minutes.

Lin Chen gazed at the horizon where demonic energy was churning, his eyes as sharp as a blade.

To gain a firm foothold in the Myriad Heavens, one had to face the strongest enemies head-on.

So what if it was the Abyssal Sovereign?

If it dared to invade my Dawn Territory, I would slay it just the same!

Ten minutes passed in a flash.

In the sky, the demonic energy reached a boiling point as a thousand-foot-tall shadow slowly condensed into form.

The shadow wore a crown and held a demonic halberd, its eyes like two crimson suns.

A terrifying aura swept across heaven and earth, dozens of times stronger than the Abyssal Divine Guard!

The projection of the Abyssal Sovereign had descended!

The shadow looked down, locking its gaze on Lin Chen, and let out a world-shaking roar.

"Human! You killed my subordinate and destroyed my outpost. Today, I will extinguish your soul!"

Lin Chen said calmly,

"If you want to kill me, you'll have to ask the blade in my hand first."

As his voice fell, Lin Chen was the first to charge out from the walls, his God-level power erupting in full.
