"However, the one who will challenge the Heavenly Tomb should be coming out soon, right?"
The Heavenly Tomb is one of the simplest forbidden zones in the lower realm.
In their previous lives, they challenged the Heavenly Tomb not because they were provoked by Lu Cang.
At the same time, they are also among the few elite teams to have completed the restricted area challenge.
"I shouldn't have affected them in this life, so they shouldn't encounter the hidden boss in the Heavenly Tomb."
There are many talented individuals, but those who perish within the forbidden zone account for more than 90% of the total.
-------------------------------------
[Heavenly Tomb]
A giant monster with black blood flowing all over its body floated up and down in the Heavenly Tomb. The boss's health had dropped to the last 2%.
[Sub-Void Demon]
[Level: 85]
[HP: 9.5 billion / 450 billion]
Less than half an hour after they entered the restricted area, they encountered the boss. The battle has now lasted for three hours, and just now, the Precision Angel Iros died.
Not far from Lily was a sophisticated mechanical head with vacant eyes and many scattered parts around it.
The Precision Angel Iros has died twice and has been completely removed from the Realm of Illusion.
It was primarily responsible for the team's treatment, and its death has caused everyone's condition to deteriorate rapidly.
The damage was too great to be repaired by taking medicine.
In mid-air, countless black rocks flew and spun around.
"Lily!"
Blade Flow's figure spun around at lightning speed! He cleaved through the boulder in front of him with incredible speed!
"Don't rush."
Buzz—
Lily spread her wings again, and as her wings lit up, colorful patterns spread out, covering all the rocks in mid-air.
"Azure Sky".
【Azure Sky (3-Star Magic): Uses gravity to bombard all marked targets, dealing 30x Spirit damage.】
boom!
In an instant, all the stones were covered with colorful light, and in the next instant, all the stones exploded!
Lily gracefully folded her wings.
"It's already resolved, Blade Style."
Blade Flow's body was already covered in cracks as it rushed towards the distant monster! But before it could take more than a few steps, another black blood arrow shot out from the monster, surrounding Blade Flow from all directions!
The cliff in front of the blade flow stretched out, forming a barrier on the ground! Black blood arrows struck the thick barrier!
Bang bang bang bang bang!
It emitted a sound like a cannonball exploding!
The barrier did not serve any purpose in stopping them and was quickly penetrated!
At the critical moment, Blade Flow twisted his body and dodged the attack of the black blood arrow from the gap with an uncanny posture!
"Black Blood Arrow, powerful penetration!"
Blade Flow reported the characteristics of this attack.
"Lily, cover me! I'm going to go in and hack away! If we don't take down the boss, we'll all die together!" Blade Ryu solemnly ordered the team!
“Okay~” Lily replied easily.
She spread her arms, and colorful light marked Blade Flow's body.
【Talent: Mark (S) - Can mark everything within a 100-kilometer radius. Can mark any target. The mark can trigger any skill that requires marking. The mark effect will not disappear after being triggered, but will persist.】
Blade Stream was marked by her, and colorful light surrounded Blade Stream.
The blade, with its flowing blade, was also imbued with colorful flames.
Buzz buzz buzz—
One after another, giant rocks appeared from the void. A blade flashed by, and a colorful stream of light ripped through the sky, instantly cleaving through countless pebbles on the road!
With a swift and deliberate step, he treads through the void, calmly sheathing his blade at his waist, chanting: "As if with color, as if without color."
The roar of lightning unleashed countless bolts of thunder, striking the boss in mid-air: "What the hell are you chanting! Unleash your power!"
"Whether there is thought or not." Renliu's pace has slowed down; he walks in the void instead of running.
"My mana is about to run out!" A buzzing roar, crackling with electricity, erupted!
"I can't hold on much longer either!" One after another, barriers of earth rose up, heavy earth protecting Wengwengweng and Lily. As for the distant Blade Stream, it was too far from the earth to care about it.
"Neither having thoughts nor not having thoughts."
"Fuck you, are you trying to give me a tongue twister?" Buzz Buzz was furious!
It's completely out of mana and can't use any skills! On the other side, Heavy Earth is also unable to condense enough body. It is the embodiment of the earth, but every time it blocks an attack, it loses a part of its body. If it is given enough time to rest, it can indeed assimilate enough earth again.
However, the current Heavy Earth can no longer gather much earth and is unable to effectively resist damage. In other words, its main body has been almost completely destroyed.
Furthermore, with the death of Iros, the entire team has lost its powerful recovery and supply capabilities, and the team is now at its last gasp.
The boss only had 2% health left, but that 2% became the most difficult hurdle!
Lily's damage isn't high; she's an area-of-effect mage who applies marks. Her output is the lowest, and she's good at handling boss mechanics, but when it comes to dealing damage, she only managed to reduce the boss's health by 10 billion after three hours. Asking her to finish off the remaining 9.5 billion health is simply wishful thinking!
Even more surprisingly, the boss's health is slowly recovering!
If we don't defeat the boss now, its condition will only get better and better.
Whoosh! Dozens of streams of blood from the boss transformed into blood arrows, spraying towards the blade stream!
At that moment, Renryu also drew his sword: "I will destroy them all by sending them to Nirvana without remainder."
With a single stroke of the sword, light and darkness are separated, the world dims, and only the light and shadow of the sword remain!
"Colorless and Thoughtless Slash".
Whoosh!
-10,259,541,642
With just one strike, it dealt billions of damage.
Almost simultaneously, Blade Flow's body was pierced by countless arrows of blood! The sword in his hand was also completely shattered with this strike.
Shattered in an instant!
puff!
After that slash, the world fell silent, and everything seemed to come to a standstill.
The boss stopped moving, and even the blood arrows flying into the distance in mid-air scattered and exploded.
【Colorless and Thoughtless Nirvana Slash (5-Star): After fully chanting the prelude, the sword is swung, dealing 9500 x Strength damage. If this slash does not kill the enemy, the enemy will recover full health equal to the damage dealt by this slash within 10 seconds. After this slash is used, the weapon is permanently shattered, and the skill user is in a weakened state for 48 hours.】
[Cooldown: 48 hours, Mana Cost: Full Mana]
This is the legendary skill with extremely severe side effects.
Blade Flow's body is crippled on one side, but it is slowly recovering and regrowth. If given enough time, it will soon be able to return to its peak condition, but right now, it is clear that it does not have that opportunity.
Boom!
Two loud explosions came from the edge of the cliff.
Renliu stood in mid-air, turning his head to look back at the edge of the cliff.
The buzzing electricity dissipated, and the health points displayed in the team were completely empty. The same was true for Heavy Earth, which had also lost all its health in that instant.
Only Lily stood on the edge of the cliff.
Lily, however, was in much better condition. Her health points had not decreased much, and her wings were spread out, covered with blood-red patterns.
Lily's name changed to red, and her pupils turned blood red.
Li stood in front of the treasure chest, a faint smile on her face, staring at Renliu with an amused expression.
"Tsk, you're still holding back."
"Of course! If I went all out, I would have been the one ambushed." Lily's tone was relaxed and cheerful; clearly, she was the ultimate winner in the restricted area.
Her mark is still on Renliu's body.
Such an enemy is virtually impossible to defend against. As long as they appear within her talent range, they will be marked without anyone noticing. She is in the dark while her enemies are in the light, killing them completely invisibly.
"So, are you going to get out of here by yourself, or do you want me to help you?"
They are currently in a restricted area, but Blade Flow and Buzz Buzz Buzz have never died. Even if Li killed them, they would only be resurrected at the resurrection point within the instance, and could immediately escape the instance after being resurrected.
Lily managed to kill them, but she couldn't completely eliminate them. However, she was more than capable of keeping the treasure chest all to herself.
"Ha, I don't need your help."
Blade Flow casually conjured a spare weapon.
Just as Renryu was about to commit suicide, Lily scoffed, "Tsk tsk~"
Did you see that?
Blade Flow: "What do you see?"
Lily: "The restrictions on the restricted area have been lifted, and we can see the world announcement now."
"Cang Qiong and his team cleared the Forbidden Zone of Light. Besides us, there is actually a second team that cleared the Forbidden Zone."
Blade Flow: "So what?"
"I see you're quite strong. How about we cooperate again? If we take down the Azure Sky, it'll be like taking the spoils of two forbidden zones. However, it's a bit difficult for me to fight an entire guild on my own. I think I need at least one more helper, a strong enough one."
Blade Flow: "Do you think I can still trust you?"
Li chuckled, "Don't put it so harshly. If you were the one who survived to the end, wouldn't you kill me and keep the treasure chest for yourself?"
"The reason you killed the boss was because if you hadn't, we would have all died together. You actually knew all along that even if you killed the boss, I would still do something, but you chose the better one out of the two bad endings, right?"
In the situation just now, if the boss hadn't been killed, everyone would have died, and it would have been a permanent death.
The worst-case scenario after defeating the boss is that you get killed once and the treasure chest is swallowed, but you still survive. The choice is obvious.
In fact, this situation of each side swallowing the spoils could be avoided by making a contract before the war. However, it was obvious that everyone had their own ulterior motives and everyone wanted to seize the spoils, so naturally no one made such a contract.
Lily chuckled, "This isn't a matter of trust at all. That's how the Illusionary Realm works—the winner takes all. Let's see who has the best skills after we conquer the Azure Sky."
"How about it? Cooperation? I can share some of the loot from the forbidden zone treasure chest with you."
"Didn't you just lose a knife? Here's a diamond-quality knife, don't you want it?"
"There's also a legendary potion that can cure weakness, which would be perfect for you, wouldn't it?"
Renliu remained silent for a moment.
He nodded: "It seems I have no choice. It's a pleasure to cooperate. I also want to meet that Cang Qiong. I wonder just how powerful the human race's prodigy really is."
