Killing Heaven’s End

At some unknown time, a massive skeleton had appeared on the ice. It had 2 large horns, a terrifying head, a gigantic body, and a pair of bony wings that seemed larger than its body when extended. There was also a bony tail that was around 10 metres long behind it. Below its body were incredibly eerie and white claws… its body was made up completely of bones, and it gave off a shocking and monstrous aura.

This was evidently the gigantic skeleton dragon that only appeared in myths and legends!

And yet, this skeleton was moving, and there were 2 balls of black light in its eye sockets!

While Ling Chen was staring at this gigantic skeleton dragon in shock, an icy aura came from his left. Ling Chen quickly turned his head and saw a 10 metre-long, 1 metre-thick ice shard flying towards him. Through the ice shard he could see something completely blue breaking through the ice… an ice wolf!

Ling Chen did not try to evade, and in the next instant, the gigantic ice shard… passed through his body.

+134,680!

Boom!!

At that moment, the ice shard heading directly toward Ling Chen was shattered as a gigantic black figure shot out like a cannonball towards him. Before it even came close, the howling wind cut into his body, bringing about pain all over, while Xiao Hui, Cai’Er, and Xi Ling were sent flying, the sensation of death rapidly approaching Ling Chen.

If he had [Moment of Elegance], evading this sort of sudden attack would not have been too difficult. However, the black figure would attack Cai’Er and Xi Ling behind him if he evaded. As such, Ling Chen frowned as he instead rushed towards it.

A massive explosion sounded out as Ling Chen and the black ball-like thing collided. As a -150,000 red damage figure rose up, the black ball gave a low roar and was sent flying by the impact reflected by the Evil God’s Mask. At that moment, Ling Chen saw its full appearance… as well as the 8 spikes on its back.

At the same time, information about these 3 creatures were sent into Ling Chen’s mind from Xiao Hui.

…………………………………………..

Within the Ice Purgatory were 3 powerful Heaven’s End grade beasts!

To date, Ling Chen had fought with 2 Heaven’s End grade beings before, one of which was the Mountain Giant. When he had first fought the Mountain Giant, it was so suffocatingly strong that Ling Chen wasn’t even able to escape. In the end, because of Tian Tian’s death, he was able to miraculously turn the tide. The other was the Purple-Winged Cloud Leopard on the Godchild Peak. It had also forced Ling Chen into a state of hopelessness, and it was only killed because of Xi Ling.

Back then, Ling Chen didn’t have any strength to fight with Heaven’s End grade beings of the same level.

And now, there were 3 Heaven’s End grade monsters that were all higher level than him. What’s more, each of these 3 monsters were far more powerful than the Mountain Giant and the Purple-Winged Cloud Leopard!

The 3 Heaven’s End grade beast’s auras locked onto Ling Chen. When 3 powerful Heaven’s End grade beasts simultaneously locked aggro onto Ling Chen, he found it difficult to even breathe. Fight with these 3 Heavens’ End grade beasts? Ling Chen naturally wouldn’t do such a thing. If they were 3 Celestial grade beasts it was possible, but Heaven’s End grade… facing them directly was simply seeking death.

Ling Chen quickly thought and looked over to Cai’Er as he said in a low voice, “Cai’Er, hurry and make them sleep!”

Just as Ling Chen moved, the 3 beasts roared. Under the might from their roars, the entire Ice Purgatory began to shake. At this moment, a melodious song sounded. The voice was soft and gentle, and it felt as if it travelled through one’s ears into their heart and then into their soul, causing them to lapse into intoxication, revelling in the beauty of the song.

The 3 beasts stopped roaring, and they all paused in their attacks. Their bodies powerlessly lay on the ground and yawned before falling asleep.

[Song of Tranquility – Clear Dream In A Peaceful Night]!

Even powerful Heaven’s End grade beasts fell asleep under Cai’Er’s Song of Tranquility. Cai’Er did not stop singing, because once she stopped, it was possible that the beasts would immediately wake up and would not be affected by the Song of Tranquility anymore. Ling Chen took this opportunity and rushed to the Ice Purgatory’s exit. At the exit was a mass of grey, black, and blue light blocking the way.

[Ice Purgatory Barrier]: A special barrier created by the Underworld King from the Demon Skeleton Dragon, Eighth Fiend, and Ice Soul Undead Wolf’s source energies. Only when the Demon Skeleton Dragon, Eighth Fiend, and Ice Soul Undead Wolf have died will the barrier disappear.

When he saw the barrier’s description, Ling Chen could only turn around and look at the 3 sleeping beasts. Once they fell under the effects of the Song of Tranquility, as long as Cai’Er did not stop singing and he didn’t attack them, they would not wake up. However, once they woke up, they wouldn’t be affected by the Song of Tranquility anymore.

It was impossible for Ling Chen to face 3 Heaven’s End grade beasts, but if it was one at a time…

Ling Chen’s gaze fell on the Demon Skeleton Dragon, which was the lowest level. After staring at it for a few moments, he gently breathed in and rushed towards its body.

“Cai’Er, immediately hide in a corner and keep singing!”

“Xi Ling, keep a safe distance and attack whenever you have the opportunity!”

“Xiao Hui, protect them!”

“Leng’Er… err, give some words of support!”

“Snow Cherry, let’s go!!”

“Soul Sacrifice… War God’s Fury!”

“Ding… the Libra Orb’s effects have been activated, [Soul Sacrifice]’s cooldown time has been reset.”

“Ding… the Libra Orb’s effects have been activated, [War God’s Fury]’s cooldown time has been reset.”

After activating his 2 powerful buffs, Ling Chen’s maximum HP fell by 50% and his current HP was reduced to 1 HP. However, his Basic Attack Power skyrocketed to 58,310. In his strongest state, he launched 2 of the War God’s profession’s most powerful skills towards the Demon Skeleton Dragon: a [Extinguishing the Heavens and Destroying The Earth Tempest] with his right hand and an [Eight Direction Annihilation] with his left!

“Ding… the Libra Orb’s effects have been activated, [Extinguishing the Heavens and Destroying The Earth Tempest]’s cooldown time has been reset.”

“Ding… the Libra Orb’s effects have been activated, [Eight Direction Annihilation]’s cooldown time has been reset.”

BOOM!!!!!

-8,163,400, -1,959,216!

A massive explosion sounded out, causing the surrounding layer of ice to fracture as countless shards of ice were lifted into the air, turning into a rain of ice fragments. The Demon Skeleton Dragon’s body was blasted away and landed heavily on the ice, forming a large crater. This caused the Demon Skeleton Dragon to wake up, and the 3 seconds that the [Extinguishing the Heavens and Destroying The Earth Tempest] should have applied did not take effect. It stood up and roared with ear-piercing fury.

However, Ling Chen did not immediately attack again and instead stared at the 2 slowly fading damage figures.

Each of those skills had dealt more than 1 million damage!

And one of them had nearly dealt 10 million damage!!

Ling Chen continued to stare, feeling completely dumbfounded… after upgrading his War God’s profession and obtaining 2 pieces of Heaven’s End grade equipment, this was the first time he had gone all out in a fight. Moreover, he had used 2 of the most powerful skills of the War God’s profession, dealing so much damage that he almost gave himself a fright. He couldn’t believe his own eyes.

Although he was facing a high level Heaven’s End grade monster, he had dealt almost 10% of its HP in a single attack… this should be impossible!!

Ling Chen only came back to his senses when the Demon Skeleton Dragon roared and charged towards him as bone spikes fell towards him like rain. Ling Chen didn’t bother to look at the bone spikes falling towards him – he charged up with a [Moment of Elegance] and activated [Moon Shadow] as he fixed the Demon Skeleton Dragon in place, unleashing 2 Heaven Destroying Slashes on it. From a distance, Xi Ling mercilessly shot out a [Solar Laser] at the Demon Skeleton Dragon.

-816,240, -815,998, -1,085,400!

Under Ling Chen’s current state, even the Heaven Destroying Slashes, which were almost normal attacks to him, dealt nearly 1 million damage, which was close to how much Xi Ling’s Solar Laser had dealt. At the same time, the [War God’s Fury] not only increased his Physical Attack Power but also his Attack Speed as well. With the Chilling Star, Ling Chen’s Attack Speed was 120, which was doubled to 240 with the War God’s Fury, meaning that he could unleash 5 rounds of attacks in 2 seconds!

As Ling Chen rapidly attacked, the Chilling Star and Twilight Spear became 2 blurs, the Demon Skeleton Dragon’s HP rapidly fell under the repeated attacks from Ling Chen and Xi Ling. By the time Moon Shadow had ended, the Demon Skeleton Dragon’s HP had fallen to less than half. Ling Chen’s eyes flashed as he sent out another [Extinguishing the Heavens and Destroying The Earth Tempest] and [Eight Direction Annihilation].

-8,160,008, -1,963,500!

With Moon Shadow’s effects gone, the Demon Skeleton Dragon’s body once again flew away like a gigantic sandbag. With such massive damage and force, let alone a Heaven’s End grade beast, even a Mysterious God grade beast would be sent flying. Ling Chen did not stop, but instead he chased after it like a bolt of lightning. The instant it landed, Ling Chen aimed the Twilight Spear towards its back as a colourless light flashed.

-25,920,000!

Powerful Bosses all had powerful ultimate skills, and this was much more so for high grade Bosses. Those ultimate skills often only activated when their HP fell below a certain amount, and the lower their HP was, the more terrifying their ultimate attacks would be. This was something that Ling Chen was incredibly familiar with, especially when a Boss’ HP fell below 10%. The damage that their ultimate skills dealt would be able to destroy the heavens and annihilate the earth. However, Ling Chen no longer had to worry about Bosses becoming insanely powerful after falling into critical HP. No matter how powerful his target was, if their HP fell below 36%, they were as good as dead to him.

After being upgraded by the [Holy Spirit’s Pearl], [Soul Demise] dealt 36% of a target’s maximum HP instantly!

“Ding… you have successfully killed the LV66 Heaven’s End grade Boss [Demon Skeleton Dragon], Fame+66,000, SP+66,000.”

“Ding… congratulations, you have levelled up to LV58, HP+20, MP+20, Strength+5, Agility+1, Spirit+1.”

“Ding… your pet Xiao Hui has levelled up to LV58…”

“Ding… your pet Leng’Er has levelled up to LV58…”

“Ding… your pet Snow Cherry has levelled up to LV58…”

“Ding… your pet Xi Ling has levelled up to LV58…”

“Ding… your pet Cai’Er has levelled up to LV47…”

“Ding… your pet Cai’Er has levelled up to LV48…”

…………………

“Ding… your pet Cai’Er has levelled up to LV50…”

The system announcement in his ears signified the end of this battle. After watching the Demon Skeleton Dragon fall and not get back up, Ling Chen found that there was a large pile of equipment and items around it.

It was finished… it was finished? Just like that, he had killed a LV66 Heaven’s End grade beast?

Staring at the Demon Skeleton Dragon’s body, Ling Chen felt as if his world was tottering.
