The River Styx is all water.
Ye Bai stood before the River Styx, lost in thought.
An invisible barrier stood before him, blocking the waters of the River Styx and preventing any monsters from advancing an inch.
"This is...."
[So close yet so far]
The Eye of Insight provides the answer.
The power of this sword strike exceeded Ye Bai's expectations.
The second brother realized the meaning of "so close yet so far" while pushing the stone.
In other words, the second brother saved himself the trouble of pushing the stone by using the "Close at Hand, Far Away" ability.
But before the River Styx, Ye Bai saw [Close at Hand, Yet Far Apart] again.
There is only one possibility:
"This skill has two uses!"
Ye Bai's eyes lit up, and he wrote it down in his notebook again.
The learning priority for "So Close Yet So Far" is set to the maximum!
"It's not easy to cross the vast distance to the River Styx."
This short distance, which seems very close, may actually be infinitely far.
Otherwise, the pursuers from the River Styx would have caught up long ago!
"Since they're all Second Brother's sword techniques, maybe they'll have a synergistic effect?"
Ye Bai held the Heavenly King Sword and gently swung it forward.
"The water flow has stopped!"
The barrier formed by the seemingly insurmountable distance actually opened up a small section to allow Ye Bai to pass through!
brush--
Having successfully scanned his face, Ye Bai instantly traversed the vast distance between them and arrived before the River Styx.
The man following behind Ye Bai was not surprised and began to introduce him.
"This River Styx was originally pursued by the gods of the underworld and death."
But decades ago, all of Death's minions died. I suspect a new quasi-god of Death has been born, and may even have already succeeded in killing a god!
Ye Bai raised an eyebrow. "Really?"
Quasi-god, also known as the All-Powerful War God.
How come Ye Bai didn't know that there were such extraordinary figures among the human race?
"Death...could it be Ninth Master?"
Ye Bai made a note of this matter, intending to subtly probe and try to get some information out of Ninth Master when he had the chance.
The man instructed,
"Even if it's just Hades' subordinates, don't be careless!"
Especially the final boss guarding the gate, whose strength is terrifying, there are few beings in the entire underworld who can defeat him.
He has few rivals among his peers, and taking on three opponents at once is no problem for him!
"clear."
Ye Bai would not be careless if he was praised so highly by a man.
A terrifyingly powerful BOSS?
I'm going to fight the BOSS!
Ye Bai was confident he could defeat any opponent who wasn't a ninth-tier War God.
If all else fails, he can summon beings such as vampire princes and projections of sea gods from his private space.
More than 30 years later, the presence of living beings reappeared above the River Styx.
It's like a group of starving fat people being presented with an incredibly delicious cake; no one can resist such temptation.
The River Styx began to churn, and countless skeleton monsters, undead, and dark spirits struggled to crawl out, their mouths uttering incoherent roars as they charged toward Ye Bai.
For a moment, the scene looked somewhat terrifying from the sky.
Some monsters have different colors on their bodies, and notifications keep popping up.
The red skull will explode upon death.
The blue skull will trigger lightning upon its death.
The black skull will randomly change color and revive after death.
[...]
With a glance, Ye Bai saw no secrets about these monsters.
To be fair, the Eye of Insight is quite effective in dealing with such small situations.
Ye Bai thought it should be renamed "Eye of Abusing Vegetables".
Simply put,
Whether Ye Bai has the Eye of Abuse or not, the outcome is the same if he can win.
Ye Bai can't win, whether he has the Eye of the Mind or not, the result is the same.
Ah, yes, yes, yes.
Having decided to purify the River Styx, Ye Bai saw no need to hold back and went all out from the start.
"Heavenly Thunder!"
"A single spark can start a prairie fire!"
"......"
The waters of the River Styx were originally dark red.
As the number of dead skeletons increased, the color naturally turned white.
The monsters in the River Styx are indeed quite strong in terms of sheer power.
Any one of them, taken out individually, would be more than enough to be a boss of the same level.
Unfortunately, they encountered a demon. Compared to Ye Bai, a boss of the same level was not even an appetizer!
After a grueling 18 minutes and 26 seconds of fighting, Ye Bai finally managed to cut his way from one side of the River Styx to the other.
My eyes are so dry from all the chopping.
At the same time, Ye Bai's level also increased to level 299!
To reach level 300, you must solo a boss that is level 300 or higher!
This is also the toughest challenge Ye Bai faced in this battle against the Styx!
After Ye Bai finished purifying all the other monsters, it was time for the BOSS to make his appearance.
The last skeleton fell beneath Ye Bai's sword, leaving the white Styx River filled with remains, deathly still.
[Current number of Styx monsters remaining: 1]
"Finally, we've reached the boss!"
[Awooo—]
Ye Bai was somewhat excited, and the Eye of Insight was also somewhat excited, almost revealing its true form.
Level 300 means that Ye Bai has one foot in the door of the second awakening!
As for what conditions are needed for a second awakening, Ye Bai doesn't know for the time being.
but,
He felt it shouldn't be too troublesome.
I glanced at the time; it wasn't even 2 o'clock yet, and there were still more than 4 hours left.
Ye Bai had plenty of time.
After clearing this level, I should focus on the second awakening of the Eye of Insight, as this is definitely the highest priority.
If there was still time left, Ye Bai planned to go back to the fourteenth floor again.
Continuing to challenge Huo Tianwang's projection at the Slaughtering Obelisk is crucial for Ye Bai's battle tomorrow!
