Chapter 723 - 691: Vajra Body
The Mutated Half-Beastman had a total of five talents, of which Huang Yi valued two the most.
One was "Kin Slayer": It allowed insight into the abilities of the Half-Beast Race, cutting in half any damage received from members of the Half-Beast Race; when attacking members of the Half-Beast Race, damage dealt doubled. Under Beast King Form, the effects of this talent were halved.
The other was "Immunity Evolution": Disease resistance +100, poison resistance +100, granting complete immunity to all diseases and poisons, while also enhancing one’s own disease and poison attacks by 20%. Under Beast King Form, the effects of this talent were halved.
A disease and poison resistance reaching up to 100 points! This figure had already surpassed the conventional maximum resistance value of 75 points, as well as the Half-Beast racial talents’ 95 points, granting complete and utter immunity to any disease and poison!
With this, that BOSS’s poison could no longer harm him!
Furthermore, Huang Yi’s defense and health points had also increased somewhat, but the downside was that his attack power had significantly decreased.
With a decrease in attack power, it should’ve been harder to kill the BOSS, but he had no intention of using regular attacks to defeat it.
Not only that, but he even took further actions to weaken his attack!
"Borrow Light! Convert life points!" He immediately transferred all of his Light-leeching Attribute from strength to life points!
In an instant, his attack dropped even more, but his life points shot up significantly!
"War Soul! Switch to Life Mystery!" He switched his War Soul Secret Technique from 30% attack to 30% life points!
With that, his life points broke through the 10,000-point Holy Domain threshold, which, in conventional terms, equaled to one million health points! This was as powerful as his best attack power!
After all this, he finally used the Mutated Half-Beastman racial skill—
"Vajra Body": Can only be used in Mutated Half-Beastman form, temporarily converts attack capabilities into survival abilities, reducing attack power, critical hit rate, and critical hit effect by 90%; increases health points, defense points, and dodge value by tenfold. Duration: 20 minutes. Cooldown time: 10 days.
This skill required him to be in the Mutated Half-Beastman state to use, and he had rarely used it before. But the life-saving ability of this skill was incomparable, sacrificing 90% of attack power for a tenfold increase in survival ability!
In the blink of an eye, his body grew a layer of golden keratin, his skin turning completely metallic and reflecting a tough shine, appearing impregnable, immune to blade and spear!
His health points, defense points, and dodge value increased by tenfold!
What kind of concept was this?
If one disregarded the weakened attack power, purely looking at the increase, even Miyamoto Musashi’s most famous potion—Protection of the God of Life—only increased life points by tenfold!
Now, Huang Yi suddenly became more resistant than a knight player. He had already had one million health points before, and now, after a tenfold increase, he had ten million HP!
This was the highest health points he had ever had in his history!
However, his attack ability had been greatly weakened, even more unable to defeat the BOSS!
It was as if there were two impregnable beings battling each other on the field, neither able to do anything to the other!
"Blood Slaughter!" Just at that moment, Huang Yi used the attached skill which had appeared after Godslayer’s Star advanced to the epic tier.
In the next minute, any health points he lost would be doubly lost on the BOSS’s side!
He completely gave up dodging, allowing the BOSS to attack him, and he even actively used a series of attached skills from his equipment to deduct his own health points!
"End of the World!" Huang Yi first used the attached skill of the legendary boots "Harbinger of Doomsday’s Footprints," which required him to spend ten percent of his health points to use!
In an instant, one million of his health points were deducted!
And the BOSS’s health plummeted by two million!
Before this, Huang Yi needed to land a critical hit with Heavy Judgment to inflict such massive damage, but now he achieved it effortlessly!
"Blood Strike!" Huang Yi expended 5% of his life points and used one of the attached skills from the Epic Bloody War Halberd.
At once, he lost half a million health points, and the BOSS’s health sharply dropped by one million!
"Flying Axe!" Without any pause, he spent another 5% of his life points and threw his Epic Bloody War Halberd flying out!
"Absolute Invisibility!"
"Body of Lightning and Thunder!"
...
Next, Huang Yi specifically used some exotic skills to deduct his own health points.
Exotic skills learned through equipment, skill books, and Talent Blood typically required consumption of life points for activation. Now, he was trying his best to burn through his life points, which would, in turn, lead to the BOSS losing double that amount of HP!
Now, the BOSS truly ran out of options, lacking extra life-saving skills to withstand Huang Yi’s Blood Slaughter. Its health continued to dwindle, edging closer to death!
Finally, after Huang Yi unleashed Shadow Dance at the cost of 3% of his health, the BOSS’s last bit of health was forcibly depleted!
In the blink of an eye, the BOSS’s nearly impervious burly body slowly fell backwards, crashing to the ground!
This almost unkillable boss at the current stage, has finally been slain by Huang Yi!
At this moment, countless journalists and audiences who were watching the leaderboard also witnessed the birth of a new world record!
The world was once again astounded!
A Level 162 player actually broke the world record for the 170th floor of the Tower of Pantheons!
This was an almost impossible mission!
Normal players, who could only tackle floors lower than 10 levels beneath themselves in the Tower of Pantheons, would need to be at least Level 180+ to have any hope of breaking this world record.
Even expert players, at most, could tackle the Tower of Pantheons floors of their same level, and they would need to reach the top-level Holy Domain Rank of at least Level 175 to have a shot at clearing this floor.
Nobody had ever imagined that a mere Level 162 player could set a world record for the 170th floor!
"[System Prompt]: Congratulations! You have cleared the 170th floor of the Tower of Pantheons solo mode in 87 minutes and 25 seconds, becoming the record creator for this floor. You will receive a generous reward!"
Finally, Huang Yi received the system prompt for clearing the floor!
He had set a brand-new world record for the 170th floor!
This was the sixth world record he had created, and another superb reward was about to be received.
In the void ahead, a glittering treasure box appeared, housing the extra rewards for setting the record.
He took a deep breath in anticipation and opened the treasure box!
The items inside the treasure box were similar to before, with a total of four items. The first three were an Experience Pill that enhanced experience points by 50%, an A-grade Energy Stone, and a Soul Crystal.
And the last item was the super reward!
It was a wooden token!
This green token was palm-sized, with two vigorous and powerful characters inscribed on it — Hero!
[Hero’s Command]: Lowers the difficulty of the Hero Trial by one level, and upon passing the trial, the level value increase goes from 15 levels to 20 levels.
Hero’s Trial! Huang Yi was mildly surprised, not expecting to receive such an item!
After reaching Level 100, players who had been bestowed a name could go to the Central Continent to undertake the Hero’s Trial.
But the Hero’s Trial was extremely difficult and also required a bit of luck. Since reaching Level 100, Huang Yi had been busy with other things and couldn’t spare the effort to go to the Central Continent for the Hero’s Trial, plus he wasn’t confident in passing the trial.
However, this Hero’s Command dispelled his concerns, as it could lower the difficulty of the trial! This significantly increased his chances of passing. And after passing the trial, he could directly gain 20 levels!
The Hero’s Trial would take an incredibly long time, at least a month, or even several, which would greatly delay his level grinding progress. Therefore, there was an additional reward for passing the trial—a direct 15-level increase to make up for the grinding delay caused by the trial.
This Hero’s Command would make the level increase even more pronounced, from 15 levels to 20 levels, effectively giving him 5 levels more out of thin air compared to others.
For example, another player at Level 150 who passed the trial would be Level 165 afterwards, while Huang Yi at Level 150 would reach Level 170!
Huang Yi carefully stored this Hero’s Command, knowing that it would come in handy when he went to the Central Continent.
He also put the rest of the items into his storage ring and immediately consumed the Experience Pill, gaining a 50% increase in experience points and breaking through to Level 163! His attributes improved once again!
He approached the Level 180 boss, laid his hand on it, and extracted its departing soul, absorbing it into his War Soul, replacing a soul spirit of over Level 170.
This Level 180 soul spirit offered an additional 1% in defense points, 1% in health points, and 1% in strength value over the previous Level 170 soul spirit. Although the increase was small, the accumulation of these increments was substantial.
"My strength has increased again; it’s time to try opening Man Tian’s storage ring!" Looking at his increased strength, Huang Yi muttered to himself, taking out Man Tian’s storage ring once more.
He had obtained this ring after killing the Celestial Realm expert sent by the Half-Beast Holy Land to assassinate him—Man Tian, but had previously lacked the strength to unlock it.
Now that his strength had increased, it was time to try again.
This time, a glow emerged from his hand, surged into the storage ring, and enveloped it tightly, creating a scene he had never seen before!
"[System Prompt]: Your strength has met the requirement to begin unsealing the ring. Estimated time for the seal to be removed is 20 hours. Current progress 1%..."
He had finally met the conditions!
A look of relief appeared on Huang Yi’s face; the treasure trove was finally going to be unlocked!
What kind of treasures could be hidden inside a Celestial Realm expert’s storage ring?
Huang Yi was filled with anticipation; in 10 hours, the seal would be completely removed.
After that, he stored the storage ring, teleported out, reset the secret realm, then teleported back in, and continued to slay monsters for level grinding.
