After its evolution to Epic tier, the Godslayer’s Star had significantly improved attributes. A new attribute had been added—after landing a critical hit, it restored 30% Health Points, which could only trigger once every 10 seconds. This feature gave Huang Yi another method to restore health.

Now, he had four major methods to restore health.

The first method was attack with bloodsucking ability; the advantage of this was its consistent effect—as long as there was an attack, it siphoned Health Points; the disadvantage was that the volume of bloodsucking was relatively small.

The second method was the attached skill Bloodthirsty Slaughter of the Godslayer’s Star, using rage value to restore Health Points. The advantage was the flexibility of the restored Health Points, and if all 100% of the rage was consumed, it could restore 100% of Health Points. The downside was that the cooldown time was too long—it could only be used once every three minutes.

The third method was to kill the enemy with Heavy Judgment, restoring 20% of Health Points. This skill was more suited for scenarios with many enemies and was not meant for one-on-one battles; unless the enemy was killed, this method of health restoration couldn’t be used.

The fourth method was the newly added critical hit health restoration ability from the Godslayer’s Star which allowed for 30% Health Points restoration with a successful critical hit, a considerably large amount. The blemish was that it could only be effective once every 10 seconds.

This Epic Tier Godslayer’s Star had also added a new offensive skill—Blood Slaughter. This skill was about sacrificing Health Points, a double-edged sword approach. For example, within one minute, if Huang Yi lost 100,000 Health Points, the enemy would lose 200,000 Health Points.

With this piece of Epic Equipment, Huang Yi’s strength had increased again. If now he were to fight that Level 185 Guardian, it wouldn’t be as difficult as before.

Of course, if he encountered a Level 195 Guardian, his strength would still be insufficient.

The key to this national battle was the Level 195 Guardian; as long as he could defeat the opponent, then everything would be full of hope, but if he couldn’t, then all would be lost!

Although he seemed virtually invincible now, so much so that even a super-first master couldn’t defeat him, far surpassing any other player in the present world, if he died once, he would fall hard from the pinnacle to the abyss. Last time, Miyamoto Musashi expended life energy to cast a Samsara Curse on him. Should he die, he would revert to a Level 1 newbie!

He was now Level 162, but after reincarnation, it would take a full 162 days to return to his current level. Nearly half a year’s time, by when other players would have advanced to who knows what extent, and it would be extremely difficult for him to catch up again!

One could say that his current position was incredibly unstable, and the difference between ascension to godhood and downfall was but a hair’s breadth.

With such formidable strength, Huang Yi decided to once again attempt to break the world record at the 170th floor of the Tower of Pantheons!

Last time, he had reached his limit at the second boss. Now that he had undergone a Second Transformation and obtained another piece of Epic Equipment, he had enough capital to take up the challenge.

He immediately rode the Little Dragon toward the direction of the Teleportation Circle, swiftly vanishing into the deep night sky.

Once he arrived at the vast Teleport Plaza in Northern Sea City, Huang Yi glanced around. The place was nearly deserted, with only seven or eight people around. As soon as they saw him arrive, they quickly teleported into the Tower of Pantheons, for fear of being killed by him.

Huang Yi didn’t pay any attention to those people and immediately teleported to the 170th floor of the Tower of Pantheons!

This level was unthinkable to current players. At present, there were only a meager 50,000 players in the whole world who were over Level 150, and they were all regular players, not a single Rare Class Holder among them. Yet Huang Yi was not only the highest-leveled player but also the only one who had surpassed Level 150 with a Rare Class, giving him a dual advantage.

The most important thing was that Huang Yi had the Little Dragon.

The Little Dragon was one of the Three Great Top Dragon Clans, a mount pet that shouldn’t have appeared at the current stage, a product that broke the balance!

Without the Little Dragon, Huang Yi’s strength would have been cut by at least half, with mobility being a big issue; he wouldn’t have lasted until today in Northern Sea City and would have been killed by the guardians long ago.

After teleporting to the Tower of Pantheons, Huang Yi didn’t rush with the time and just rode the Little Dragon over, treating it as a level grinding session.

"Judgment!"

"Scorched Earth!"

"Storm of Thunder Clouds!"

Huang Yi unleashed three super-large area Attack powers, including countless lesser monsters within their scope.

The Little Dragon also opened its mouth and spewed out a Sacred Flame, covering a large area below and adding even more momentum to Huang Yi’s Attack, burning those little monsters who screamed chaotically.

In the presence of the Golden Holy Dragon, they were no different from ants.

Soon, these little monsters collapsed one after another, turning into Experience Points for Huang Yi. A few pieces of equipment burst from the ground, but they were mostly Blue Gear and Purple Gear, none of which piqued Huang Yi’s interest to pick up, as he continued riding the Little Dragon and rolling over to the front.

...

In the empty skies above Northern Sea City, only some reporters were drifting around. They were all searching for Huang Yi, but their speed was simply no match for Huang Yi and the Little Dragon; they were all left behind.

Just then, one reporter opened the leaderboard and instantly noticed that there was activity on the 170th floor of the Tower of Pantheons—Huang Yi’s progress record had started!

His spirits instantly revived, and he hurriedly reported, "Dear viewers, this is the Singapore National Television! Our station has discovered the whereabouts of the God of Slaughter first, and we are now bringing you an exclusive report. The God of Slaughter, after defeating a Level 185 guardian and acquiring brand new Epic Equipment, is likely to have proceeded to the 170th floor of the Tower of Pantheons to set another world record. The current leaderboard shows that he has killed the first three bosses, taking 45 minutes, and is still progressing... Our station will continue to report!"

Soon, the news of Huang Yi’s brave ascension to the 170th floor of the Tower of Pantheons spread to every corner of the world, and reporters from various media outlets were also the first to be informed, closely monitoring the activities on the leaderboard.

"Dear viewers, just now, the God of Slaughter has killed the fourth boss! He is only one boss away from setting a record! Once he kills the last boss, he will set a new record on the 170th floor of the Tower of Pantheons and will also achieve another feat—that is, setting the next record while the previous record has not been broken by anyone. No one has yet been able to break his world record for the 160th floor, and now he has rapidly set the world record for the 170th floor. From this, we can see just how far the strength of the God of Slaughter is ahead of the current world’s players..."

Countless people were watching the leaderboard, observing Huang Yi’s slaughter progress and the decreasing Health Points of the last boss. The leaderboard showed that this last boss’s Health Points were nearly depleted, almost dead, and a new world record was about to be born!

...

In the middle of the 170th floor of the Tower of Pantheons, Huang Yi was engaged in a bloody struggle with the last boss.

This boss was a Zombie, towering at Level 180! Bosses in these secret realms were not like NPCs outside that take injuries; as their Health Points decreased, not only did their strength not drop, but they also used their skills more frequently. The counterattack before death was extremely fierce, and one needed to be careful not to get killed.

"Corpse King’s Body!" Just when the boss was down to 2% Health Points, it let out a wild roar towards the sky and slammed its rotting palm against its chest!

Suddenly, a layer of metallic cuticle grew on its body, like wearing a suit of metal Armor, making it nearly an impenetrable being.

This skill also had a healing effect, causing its Health Points to recover bit by bit. If this continued, it would eventually fully recover its Health Points.

In addition, it emitted waves of stinky poison gas, causing all enemies around it to suffer continual damage!

Huang Yi’s super strong Attack Power was instantly rendered ineffective; even the Heavy Judgment could not break the opponent’s Defense, and the hits on the boss created only tiny sparks as if striking against a copper wall and iron bastion.

He could only inflict some damage on the opponent with Dark Attribute Attacks and Holy Elements Attacks. But this damage was too insignificant to keep up with the life-saving skill’s Health Points recovery speed of the opponent.

If things continued like this, Huang Yi would be completely unable to kill this boss. Instead, he might be killed by the boss!

And dying in the secret realm would trigger the Samsara Curse, causing him to reincarnate upon death!

Right at that moment, Huang Yi suddenly morphed into a Half-Beastman with golden skin!

During his fifth Evolution, he had used Barbarian’s blood for a deep Evolution, evolving once more on the foundation of the original Half-Beastman to become a previously unseen Mutated Half-Beastman.

He was going to use a special method to deal with this boss!
