Chapter 724 - 692: Loss of Non-Combat Skills
This time, he would not defeat the final BOSS, because his transformation into a Half-Beastman with the "Vajra Body" skill had a cooldown time of a whopping 10 days!
The skill Blood Slaughter required pairing with Vajra Body, a skill that greatly increased Health Points, to unleash its maximum effect. Nevertheless, even so, Huang Yi was not too keen on using this attack method unless, as with the recent Zombies, the enemy’s defense was simply too strong.
Because Huang Yi’s own Attack Power was already not inferior to that method, his Attack Power had broken through 10,000 Holy Domain Points, which was equivalent to 1 million points of Attack Power. After dealing a critical hit with Heavy Judgment, even if the enemy’s Defense Points blocked part of it, he could still inflict damage exceeding a million points.
More importantly, once he transformed into a Half-Beastman in battle, he could not change back! If the enemy had other tricks up their sleeve, then he would be unable to respond in the strongest Beast King form.
Gradually, the night passed, and a new day arrived!
Huang Yi yawned and took another look at Man Tian’s storage ring—the seal on the ring was already more than halfway removed. It was estimated that by tonight, it could be completely unsealed.
Huang Yi put away the storage ring and found a secluded spot to log off.
He enjoyed a good breakfast, took a comfortable bath, and lay on his bed for a restful sleep, replenishing his energy.
Not until he had finished dinner in the evening did he log back on.
At this time, the level 195 Guardian had returned!
This was Huang Yi’s last enemy!
And the strongest enemy!
Huang Yi first visited the forum to look at some of the latest news from the past 24 hours.
"God of Slaughter takes the lead in undergoing a Second Transformation during the critical moment of the national battle, gaining National Honor Points, currently leading all super-first-class masters across the world with 8 points!"
"God of Slaughter consecutively slays Northern Sea City’s level 165, 175, 185 Guardians, and seals the level 195 Guardian. The Martial Emperor’s ’Close the Door to Beat the Dog’ strategy has now become ’Inviting the Wolf into the House’, a dilemma hard to escape from."
"God of Slaughter powerfully breaks the Tower of Pantheons’ 170th-floor world record, analysts predict that no one can break this record within two months!"
"God of Slaughter’s progress is too rapid, leading to accusations of disrupting The Second World’s balance, multiple media outlets demand the Era of Corporation to impose restrictions to prevent God of Slaughter from reigning supreme over the world. Era of Corporation did not respond."
"Northern Sea City’s level 195 Guardian has successfully returned, God of Slaughter will face the strongest opponent in the battle of Northern Sea City. This pinnacle battle is set to be livestreamed by over 1000 media outlets worldwide, and the total viewership is expected to exceed 90%!"
"Only two days away from the annual festival, God of Slaughter’s support rate for the Best Individual Award breaks the 80% mark, far ahead of the competition. Whether God of Slaughter can survive in front of the level 195 Guardian has become the biggest suspense for the award."
...
The 24-hour hot post rankings were basically dominated by news about Huang Yi. His dominance was so overwhelming that it far eclipsed other players, even eliciting ill-intentioned comments. Some were calling for the Era of Corporation to intervene and restrict him!
However, the Era of Corporation would not do that. The Second World is a free world where anything is possible, and what it becomes depends on the players’ own actions.
After briefly looking through these messages, Huang Yi entered The Second World, ready for the last tough battle.
In Northern Sea City at that moment, countless reporters had already completed their preparations to broadcast live, just waiting for this key figure to make his appearance.
Upon logging in, Huang Yi appeared in a secluded garden within Northern Sea City that he had specifically chosen as his log-off point the day before.
The surroundings were quiet and peaceful, with not a soul in sight, only the bright moonlight shining down on him, casting a long shadow behind him.
Not far away was the garden wall, beyond which stood a residential building, and the second-floor window of the building cast a dim yellow light, projecting the silhouette of someone inside.
For a moment, Huang Yi seemed to have an illusion, his gaze filled with mist, as if reminiscent of some long-lost scenes.
After a while, he finally came back to his senses, his gaze sharp and spirited once more. He summoned Little Dragon, gearing up for this most arduous fight.
"Eeya eeya~" Little Dragon appeared to be sleeping, its mouth biting on its little wing, drooling as if treating its wing like a chicken wing, savoring it with relish.
Feeling Huang Yi’s summon, it sleepily opened its eyes. Those pure and beautiful eyes, like two stars under the moonlight, blinked and obediently looked at Huang Yi, letting go of its wing.
Seeing Little Dragon’s endearing gaze, Huang Yi couldn’t help but hold it tight and stroke its little head.
Though youthful, the Little Dragon was the strongest contract partner in the entire world, and the reputation of being one of the Three Great Top Dragon Clans was not without merit. Huang Yi’s immense strength owed a large part to the Little Dragon!
Without the Little Dragon’s super high speed enhancement, without its agile dodging, Huang Yi could not even dream of killing those Guardians, nor could he think of breaking the world records for the 160th and 170th levels of the Tower of Pantheons.
"Little Dragon, we have one last enemy; you need to be fully alert!" Huang Yi gazed into the innocent big eyes of the Little Dragon as he said with a gentle smile.
"Woof woof~" The Little Dragon obediently nodded its head, giving a naive bark, and patted its chest with its little wings as if to say that it was very strong and Huang Yi didn’t need to worry.
Flapping its wings, it performed the Holy Dragon Descent, its petite body suddenly growing until it reached a size suitable for Huang Yi to ride, before finally stopping.
Huang Yi immediately mounted the dragon, his Golden Holy Dragon Wings materializing behind him. In coordination with the Little Dragon’s wings, they quickly flew into the sky, speeding toward the distance.
Beneath the moonlit night, they overlooked the land below, hunting down players from the Martial Arts Guild to kill, like a pair of golden winged assassins, leaving rivers of blood wherever they went, undefeatable.
"You’ve finally come!" More than ten minutes later, a domineering voice came from a distance.
Huang Yi turned to look and saw a golden figure rapidly flying towards him in the far sky. The figure wore a golden dragon robe and a purple gold crown, his hands empty, but his presence was incomparably mighty, like the sovereign of the starry sky below.
This was Northern Sea City’s final Guardian, and the strongest one—Silver Moon Lone Star, also known as Emperor Gu Xing.
"Last time, you used your Sealing Skill to isolate me, but this time, you won’t have that chance," declared Emperor Gu Xing with his hands behind his back, finally arriving in front of Huang Yi, seemingly confident and unafraid of being sealed again by Huang Yi.
Emperor Gu Xing’s grand voice also spread throughout Northern Sea City, through every street and alley, clearly heard by everyone.
In an instant, countless reporters and some solo players hurried toward the direction of the voice, yearning to witness this much-anticipated battle.
At the top floor of Northern Sea City’s City Hall, Miyamoto Musashi and the two vice presidents, Starry Sky and Heavenly Ghost Messenger, stood by the window, gazing eagerly in the direction of the voice. Their gaze seemed to pierce through boundless distance to see the scene in the distance.
In a garden loft on the other side of the city, Zhitian Shi stood in front of a vermilion wooden window, looking in the direction where Emperor Gu Xing’s voice originated. Biting her lip, a shade of worry appeared in her beautiful eyes, and the night wind blew, messing up her hair.
Qin Shiyu and the organizations behind him; the Martial Emperor, Overlord, Sunset, Knight, and thousands of other criminals from Rose Prison; along with Solitary Refrigeration, Yun Sihai, Lin Yiqin, Dong Huang, as well as the top leaders of China’s top guilds whom Huang Yi had rescued, all received the news and logged off to join the forums, watching the live broadcast!
The vast Second World quickly became deserted as almost all players gathered in the forums, holding their breath in anticipation of the start of this worldwide battle!
...
Huang Yi rode on the Little Dragon, calmly staring down Emperor Gu Xing, who stood in the void in front of him. The night wind billowed his cloak backwards, creating a rustling sound under the bright moon.
At that moment, Emperor Gu Xing made his move, pointing at Huang Yi, a streak of golden radiance shot straight toward him!
Huang Yi quickly urged the Little Dragon to dodge, but the golden light possessed the ability to automatically track its target. No matter how Huang Yi tried to escape, it was useless; the light caught up to him and completely entered his body!
In an instant, Huang Yi and Emperor Gu Xing were bound by a golden light!
Huang Yi suddenly discovered that he had a new negative status called "Fight to the End"— both he and Emperor Gu Xing could no longer use any non-combat skills. This status would last for 24 hours!
For the next 24 hours, he wouldn’t be able to use his non-combat skills!
Even if he transformed into a Treasure-Sniffing Cat, he couldn’t use Nothingness!
Even if he transformed into his White Dragon Form, he couldn’t use the Dragon’s Might skill to escape from battle!
Even his Nefalem Skill—Dark Seal was unusable!
He could only face off against Emperor Gu Xing, testing their true combat strengths!
Similarly, Emperor Gu Xing couldn’t use non-combat skills for 24 hours. The status was bidirectional, affecting both enemies and allies at the same time.
Huang Yi’s expression turned grave; he hadn’t expected Emperor Gu Xing to cut off any retreat for both of them with his first move.
"God of Slaughter, I’ve prepared many methods to deal with you, so don’t even think of escaping. Accept your death gracefully! I’ll make sure you die comfortably," Emperor Gu Xing said from his lofty position, looking down at Huang Yi as if he were an emperor facing a commoner who had offended him.
Continuing with a slight smile, Emperor Gu Xing added, "The reason you are so strong is mostly because of your mount, using its speed advantage to challenge those beyond your level. I am very curious to see how much your strength will fall when you lose this mount!"
