Chapter 266-2: The Three Demon Overlords, Chapter Difficulty Soaring (2)

[The three colossal demon overlords are already approaching the cloud bridge. Countless demon creatures are surging with morale, flooding forward in waves toward the Breaking Army Star Lord…]

Du Cheng and Shangguan Yu, who were the farthest from the Seventh Celestial Palace, exchanged a glance and resolved to go support Lu Caiyi.

They were the strongest Apostles aside from Lin Xun. Since they were holding their own celestial palaces effortlessly, they ought to contribute their strength.

[The Literary Star Lord raised his bone staff. Five headless heavy cavalry rode in on skeletal warhorses, galloping swiftly toward the demon overlords. Wherever their hooves passed, a trail of ghostly blue flame hoofprints was left behind…]

[The Wealth Storage Star Lord parted his lips and spat out a small sword. It grew in the wind, in the blink of an eye transforming into a sky-piercing greatsword. The Star Lord extended a finger toward the demon overlords, and the giant sword, wrapped in terrifying sword energy, tore open the heavens as it shot forth…]

Before tackling the Easter Egg Chapter, the Apostles had all shared the general strength and skills of their Shells with each other.

Lin Xun knew that Du Cheng and Shangguan Yu were now using their most prized trump cards!

The five Headless Undead Knights had a limited summon duration. When the time expired, they effectively died. Reviving even one Headless Undead Knight required spending 1 point of soul strength and a large number of necromantic materials.

Yet Du Cheng wasn’t paying the steepest price, Shangguan Yu’s little sword was called the Exquisite Vast Heaven Divine Sword, an Epic+ grade offensive item with only three uses. Every activation cost him dearly…

[You open your jaws wide. In your throat, surging black Dark Dragonfire Breath gathers, aimed at the three demon overlords below…][The demon overlords have nearly reached the Breaking Army Star Lord. The Star Lord gave a crisp shout, clashed his fists together with a deep boom, and unleashed a wave of biting frost-force that swept across the land, instantly exterminating all nearby demon creatures!]

[You roared, and scorching Dark Dragonfire Breath poured downward!]

[The torrent of pitch-black dragonflame engulfed the three demon overlords, along with the surrounding demon monsters, swallowing them all…]

[Yet the overlords’ bodies glimmered with multicolored lights, golden metallic energy, violet thunderbolts, and crimson blazing flames, forming a defensive barrier of extraordinary resilience…]

[When the dragonfire finally dissipated, the surrounding demon creatures were almost entirely annihilated.]

[The protective barrier had dimmed somewhat, and the overlords’ bodies were marked with charred, rotting wounds burned by the poisonous dragonfire. But these were only minor injuries, nowhere near enough to cripple them.]

[Your sudden assault provoked furious roars from the three demon overlords. Ignoring the Breaking Army Star Lord at their feet, they charged straight toward you…]

[As time passed, you have suffered severely serious injuries!]

“I’ll draw the bosses away!”

[At that moment, the towering greatsword split the air, slashing toward one of the demon overlords, Desire-Bearing Bishamon.]

[The greatsword’s sword energy was razor-sharp. As it stabbed and hacked, the overlord Bishamon raised its wisdom parasol to block.]

[It was as if an invisible giant was wielding the sword, gradually luring the overlord Bishamon away from the Shaking Light Palace…]

[The five towering headless heavy cavalry galloped in as well. Taking advantage of the moment when the overlord Indra’s barrier had not yet regenerated, they thrust their massive lances, gouging deep, bone-revealing wounds into its legs…]

[The overlord Indra roared and gave chase after the five riders…]

[Before you now remained only the overlord wielding the glass lantern, Desire-Bearing Mahoraga!]

Lin Xun had no time to marvel at his teammates’ perfect support, he had to seize this chance while a boss was alone!

[You beat your wings and, ignoring the charging overlord Mahoraga, flew straight toward the Celestial Pivot Palace cloud bridge…]

[In the Domain of Extreme Frost, the sweeping snowstorm concealed your draconic form. As you landed on the bridge, you crushed a swath of demon creatures underfoot!]

[You possessed the Shell of the Knowledge-Seeking President of the Direct Vision Association!]

[You raised your hand. Two Stored Spell Treasure Rings shone with light!]

[An enormous spear of pure white characters tore the remaining dozens of demon monsters to shreds…]

[You looked at the overlord Mahoraga, striding rapidly toward you…]

[You opened a single pink eye!]

[Special skill Pleasure-Hazed Sight activated!]

[The enormous foot suddenly halted. The overlord Mahoraga’s massive body froze in place, rigid and unmoving…]

[You possessed the Shell of the Fire-Worshipping Heartless Ninja Master!]

[You opened a single pale eye…]

[Special skill Weak Point Insight activated!]

[Judgment successful!]

[Your next attack has a high probability of striking the overlord Mahoraga’s weak point, inflicting massive damage!]

[Holding your breath, you centered your focus. Your left hand gripped the sheath, your right hand tightened around the hilt.]

[At the hilt, the Dragon Jade radiated a dazzling green glow. A tremendous power was gathering within.]

[Centered on you, frigid winds and drifting snow began to converge.]

[In the Domain of Extreme Frost, countless flakes and ice crystals angled toward you, pouring their vast energy into the Dragon Sword Masamune…]

[Even the three towering ice tornadoes on the bridge could not resist the immense suction and began slowly drawing closer to you…]

[…]

[The overlord Mahoraga finally regained its senses. With a furious bellow, it charged even faster toward the front of the cloud bridge!]

[Its colossal foot slammed onto the bridge, making the entire span quake, the whole cloud bridge tottering on the verge of collapse…]

[At that moment, your silhouette vanished into the swirling snow…]

[An intensely frigid, blinding sword light burst forth, piercing through the frozen world and the binding blizzard, radiating above the celestial palace!]

[The clear and piercing sword light seemed intent on cleansing the filth of this demonic chaos, restoring the world to righteous clarity!]

[The overlord Mahoraga’s body froze. The blazing flames across it dimmed. A vivid red sword mark appeared at the center of its brow…]

[Then its colossal body crashed to the ground, breaking apart into countless tiny pieces of flesh!]

[You have defeated Desire-Bearing Mahoraga, but you did not gain any experience points!]

[All the Star Lords simultaneously raised their heads. The dazzling, frigid sword light flickered and vanished…]

[The Star Lords looked toward the Celestial Pivot Palace. On the cloud bridge, endless snowstorms raged, but within that swirling white, no trace of the swordsman could be seen!]

[Only a pitch-black giant dragon burst once more from the blizzard, unleashing an earth-shaking dragon roar…]

“Uh…Lin Xun, you had such an overpowered item, why didn’t you say so earlier?”

Shangguan Yu sounded a little envious. His Exquisite Vast Heaven Divine Sword was like a special summoned entity that could continuously attack enemies while it persisted, but it was nowhere near this strong.

An item with such terrifying power was undoubtedly far more precious than his Exquisite Vast Heaven Divine Sword.

Originally, he had felt reluctant to use his treasured item, but seeing Lin Xun also bring out his most prized tool immediately made him feel balanced inside.

“I wasn’t planning on using it. But since I was the one who suggested raising the difficulty, I should be the one to help you all clear it smoothly.”

Following the process of slaying Desire-Bearing Mahoraga, Lin Xun used his monster-luring tactics to also take down another demon overlord.

As for the last demon overlord, the Star Lords had already exterminated the lesser demon creatures.

Gathering under the Seven Stars, each Star Lord displayed their abilities, and together they slew the final demon overlord.

When Desire-Bearing Bishamon finally fell dead, the three waves of demon invasions for the day were at last repelled successfully.

The total battle time was less than an hour, yet it had been a hundred times more grueling than the three-hour struggle of the previous day!

Everyone let out a long breath, filled with the joy of having survived a calamity.

But that feeling lasted only a short moment, for they all realized one thing, repelling today’s demon invasion had required them to exhaust every means at their disposal, and even so it had been this difficult.

Tomorrow, there would be three more waves of demons. It wouldn’t be easier, it would only be harder!

So…what should they do tomorrow?

Lin Xun clapped his hands and stood up, drawing everyone’s gaze in the conference room.

“I have a plan that will let us clear tomorrow smoothly and secure the completion rewards…”

The moment he said this, the conference room fell utterly silent.

Lin Xun swept his eyes over everyone…

There were some, like Du Cheng, who wore a skeptical expression.

Some, like Li Xingyue, tilted their heads to listen, waiting for him to explain.

And others, like Lu Caiyi, whose eyes were unwavering, as if Lin Xun said it could be done, then it definitely could be done.

He smiled faintly and laid out his entire plan…

Everyone looked at one another. After careful consideration, they felt that although Lin Xun’s plan carried certain risks, it truly could increase their chances of clearing the challenge.

After thorough discussion, all present agreed to the plan.

Lin Xun took his leave of them, returned home, and began preparing the steps of his strategy…
