Chapter 726 - 694 - A God-like Battle (Third Update)
However, this was largely due to luck, as he had landed that Nightmare with a mere 1% chance of occurring, otherwise, Emperor Gu Xing could have easily dodged it.
Those precious three seconds ticked away bit by bit, and Huang Yi’s overwhelming attack power inflicted massive damage on Emperor Gu Xing time and again. Yet the opponent’s Health Points were terrifyingly high, and even under Huang Yi’s frenzied assault, they remained immense.
Finally, those valuable three seconds passed!
"To think you actually injured me, what a surprise!" Emperor Gu Xing finally recovered, snorting coldly. He stretched out his hand and patted his chest, his towering body suddenly shook, and a ring of dazzling golden airflow burst forth, like a sun exploding violently!
The huge shockwave blasted Huang Yi far away!
Not only that, but the golden light also possessed tremendous damaging power, reducing Huang Yi’s Health Points to 87%!
Emperor Gu Xing stood in the void, his palm flickered, and a Magic Bottle appeared!
Within this Magic Bottle was a pale green liquid that at a glance suggested vibrant life, as if it was a bottle of the Water of Life. It reflected a sparkling light under the moonlight, capturing people’s attention.
Clearly, this was another potion. Miyamoto Musashi had really splurged to deal with Huang Yi, and now two different potions had appeared!
"That potion looks familiar, it’s the Protection of the God of Life!" some sharp-eyed reporters suddenly cried out, recognizing the potion in Emperor Gu Xing’s hand!
The Protection of the God of Life was Miyamoto Musashi’s first S-tier potion and the most famous one at that. This potion could increase Health Points by tenfold and had a small chance to provide immunity against a fatal hit from someone below one’s Level, meaning that in his fight against Huang Yi, there was a certain probability that he could exempt once from death!
At that moment, Emperor Gu Xing tilted his head back and gulped down the bottle of potion! Instantly, his life force became incredibly profound!
He was already a big boss with extremely high Health Points, but now they were increased tenfold, making the amount so high it was almost hopeless—it was practically an Immortal Body!
"God of Slaughter, your life is now mine!" declared Emperor Gu Xing as he smiled, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood. His complexion instantly became rosy as if blood could drip out at any moment!
His Health Points were rapidly decreasing, yet his aura was strengthening, becoming terrifying!
This was a skill that consumed Health Points to enhance attributes! It appeared Emperor Gu Xing drank the Potion of Protection of the God of Life specifically to use this skill. His vast Health Points were consumed to greatly enhance his strength.
"Swoosh!" Emperor Gu Xing extended his hand and lightly pointed at Huang Yi!
Immediately, a golden and a red light shot from his fingertips in a spiral trajectory, attacking Huang Yi!
Huang Yi flapped the Golden Holy Dragon Wings on his back, blinking in and out under the moonlight, trying to dodge. But Emperor Gu Xing’s attack had auto-targeting capabilities and relentlessly pursued him!
"Pfft!" Eventually, Huang Yi felt a sharp pain in his chest as the intersecting gold and red light struck him hard, plummeting his Health Points to 45%!
Once again, Emperor Gu Xing had surpassed him in strength!
"Colossal Beast Transformation!" Huang Yi decisively used his Rare Race’s Ultimate Move!
Instantly, his body began to wriggle and transform into an ancient Giant Beast, with a powerful pair of meat wings sprouting from his back, claws growing from his palms, and two ferocious fangs protruding from his mouth.
On his head grew eight sharp horns, lined up side by side, like a row of daggers, fierce and terrifying!
A thick Light Pillar shot up from the eight sharp horns, connecting to the vast starry sky.
Streams of starlight and moonlight poured down from the pillar, a grand and magnificent sight, visible even from tens of kilometers away!
At that moment, Miyamoto Musashi, observing from the top floor of the City Hall, smiled chillingly upon seeing the pillar of light: "Emperor Gu Xing is indeed formidable, even forcing out the God of Slaughter’s Ultimate Move!"
"It seems we won’t need to use that final measure after all!" The Vice Chairman, Heavenly Ghost Messenger, also gazed at the distant pillar of light, muttering hoarsely.
...
Bathed in the endless starlight and moonlight, Huang Yi’s All Attributes doubled!
Having fused with the Little Dragon and the Barbarian God, his strength had already become incredibly powerful. Now, with a doubling effect, his Attack Power alone had surpassed 40,000 Holy Domain points, equivalent to over 4 million Attack Power!
His Critical Hit Probability naturally broke through 85%, meaning that from now on, 8.5 out of every 10 attacks would be critical hits—a very high chance!
His Critical Hit Effect also increased to 700%, which after a critical hit, would multiply his Attack Power by seven!
The next moment, Huang Yi’s golden wings traced a golden line, and his doubled Movement Speed made his figure so fast it was barely visible!
Almost instantly, Huang Yi once again rushed in front of Emperor Gu Xing, with the Bloodstained War Halberd in his hand carrying an unprecedented force, smashing into Emperor Gu Xing’s body in a flash!
"Bang!" Emperor Gu Xing was sent flying without any suspense!
This time, Huang Yi landed a critical hit!
With his now over 4 million Attack Power, Heavy Judgment dealt triple the damage of his Attack Power, and with the Critical Hit effect multiplying the Attack by sevenfold, plus an additional 30% from a Critical Damage Rune!
His attack this time was far more powerful than any other since he entered The Second World!
Even though Emperor Gu Xing’s Defense Points had been enhanced several times, absorbing much of the damage, his Health Points still plummeted by over 30 million!
Such damage of 30 million was unheard of by players around the world! It was equivalent to 300,000 points of damage in the Holy Domain!
This was nothing short of a battle between gods, completely beyond the current understanding of the players!
Everyone could only look up, utterly incapable of intervening in such a cataclysmic conflict!
And with that critical hit, Huang Yi’s Health Points were fully restored!
After his Legendary Pants, Godslayer’s Star, were elevated to the Epic Tier, they gained a new attribute—restoring 30% of Health Points upon landing a critical hit, effective once every 10 seconds.
Moreover, he possessed the Life Drain Attribute; even a minute amount of life drain could convert 30 million damage into a substantial amount of Health Points!
Practically in a single move, Huang Yi reversed his earlier decline, returning to peak condition!
The two of them had knocked each other back several times already, casting aside all tactics to simply compete in raw power. While Emperor Gu Xing repeatedly exceeded Huang Yi, Huang Yi always found new ways to surpass him in return.
"You can still grow stronger? That is beyond my expectations!" Emperor Gu Xing finally stabilized his retreating form, catching his breath, and looked at Huang Yi in astonishment. Then, he produced another Magic Bottle in his hand!
Seeing this, Huang Yi and the worldwide audience were nearly on the verge of collapse!
Although Miyamoto Musashi was not directly involved in the battle, the potions he prepared for the level 195 Guardian shone brilliantly! If one potion didn’t work, he used a second, and if the second failed, he used a third—it seemed endless, almost like cheating!
The new potion wasn’t liquid but sparkled golden as if filled with countless tiny stars, emitting a strange luster, and gave off an indescribable sense of power.
Even Miyamoto Musashi had only one bottle of this potion, called "Double Attack and Defense Potion", which could double both Attack Power and Defense.
However, this powerful potion came with a significant limitation—it must be used to attack the opponent within ten seconds, or else it would become ineffective. If the enemy used any Invisibility or escape skills and avoided being hit for 10 seconds, the potion would be wasted.
But Emperor Gu Xing wasn’t worried at all, as neither he nor Huang Yi could use non-combat skills, rendering options like Invisibility and escape useless!
Emperor Gu Xing crushed the bottle, absorbing all the golden light spots into his body. He had already invoked the Protection of the God of Life, multiplying his Health Points tenfold, and now with the Double Attack and Defense Potion, his Attack Power and Defense were also doubled!
The next moment, Emperor Gu Xing casually pointed at Huang Yi.
A golden orb shot out from his fingertip like a meteor from the night sky, ruthlessly slamming into Huang Yi!
"Pfft!" The orb of light pierced straight through Huang Yi’s chest, leaving a line of blood in its wake!
Huang Yi was at full health, but in an instant, it was drained completely!
With his Attack Power doubled, Emperor Gu Xing’s casual blow was now lethal enough to instakill Huang Yi!
However, this time, Huang Yi didn’t die; he was left with a single Health Point. His Talent, "Death Penalty Exemption," had activated, sparing him from death and granting him a second chance at life!
The battle was as volatile as the wind, with Huang Yi being as invincible as a god one moment and reduced to no Health Points by Emperor Gu Xing the next!
Their strengths kept alternatingly rising! It was impossible to tell who would have the last laugh!
"Last Stand!" Huang Yi quickly deployed this skill, granting him immortality for ten seconds, with an addition of 15% Attack Power, 15% Critical Hit Rate, and 15% Critical Hit Effect!
His Combat Power soared once more, and what was more shocking was that his Critical Hit Rate jumped from 85% to the full value of 100%!
For those ten seconds, every attack from Huang Yi would be a critical hit!
He once again blinked in front of Emperor Gu Xing. His Bloodstained War Halberd almost became a Divine Artifact, accompanied by a fierce sound of slicing through air and sharp brilliance, it smashed down with a speed leaving no chance to dodge!
"Ding!" A sound of metal clashing rang out. Huang Yi’s critical hit did not yield a pronounced effect this time!
The increase in his Attack Power wasn’t significant enough, and with Emperor Gu Xing’s Defense Points doubled, he was nearly indestructible!
"How’s that? Can’t beat me now?" Emperor Gu Xing said with a light smile and casually pointed a finger at Huang Yi again!
Another blow, capable of instakilling Huang Yi, landed on him, but Huang Yi was undying for ten seconds, so the attack did not take effect.
But after those ten seconds, Huang Yi’s life would have no guarantee!
