Chapter 271-2: The Final Boss of the Easter Egg Chapter, Overall and Personal Ratings (2)
This move by the Supreme Freedom Demon King not only wiped out Lin Xun’s Red Armor Army in an instant, but also cut Du Cheng’s forces by more than half.
[After absorbing the remaining Outer Demon army, the Supreme Freedom Demon King’s tentacles all withdrew back into its body. Dense blood mist spread around its enormous form, forming a gigantic armor covered in countless spikes.]
[The Supreme Freedom Demon King lowered its gaze toward the Shaking Light Palace. It saw no one there, no garrison, no defense at all. Letting out an excited roar, it began striding toward the Shaking Light Palace.]
[The ground quaked. The cloud bridge heaved and rippled. In just two or three steps, the enormous Supreme Freedom Demon King reached the front of the bridge!]
“Not good!”
The Shaking Light Palace had been defended by the Red Armor Army. Now that Lin Xun had canceled the summon, it no longer had any defensive power at all!
Without hesitation, he transformed into dragon form and flew straight toward the palace to block the final boss!
“Focus fire on the boss!” Li Xingyue ordered sharply.
All the remaining Outer Demons had been devoured by the Supreme Freedom Demon King, so none of the Star Lords had to keep guarding their own Celestial Palaces.
But Li Xingyue and Du Cheng were the farthest away. By the time their reinforcements arrived, the Supreme Freedom Demon King would likely have already smashed the Shaking Light Palace to rubble.The closest were Shangguan Yu and Wang Zong, stationed in the Radiant Sun Palace right beside it.
But the fastest to arrive was still Lin Xun!
[You beat your massive dragon wings, whipping up a howling gale. In a single powerful stroke, you reached the front of the Shaking Light Palace’s cloud bridge!]
[The Supreme Freedom Demon King swung its huge hand to grab you, but you surged upward with a powerful wingbeat, narrowly dodging the attack.]
[You opened your jaws, gathering a torrent of pitch-black dragon breath…]
[Dark green draconic aura coiled around you, pouring into your maw like countless rivers converging, fueling the scorching dragonfire.]
[An inferno of black flames rained down from the sky, engulfing the Supreme Freedom Demon King’s towering body completely…]
[When the dragonfire finally dissipated, the Supreme Freedom Demon King stood unscathed. But you noticed the blood-red armor encasing its body had grown slightly duller.]
[The Dark Dragon Breath had drained almost all your remaining life force. You are now suffering Extremely Severe Injuries.]
“Damn it, this boss has an armor gauge too!”
[Seeing you hovering high above where its ordinary attacks couldn’t reach, the Supreme Freedom Demon King simply ignored you and began striding across the bridge toward the palace.]
[With just two steps, it covered more than half the bridge. Three or four more strides would bring it into the Shaking Light Palace itself.]
At this moment, Shangguan Yu and Wang Zong also arrived.
But Wang Zong couldn’t keep up with the Demon King’s advance, and he didn’t have any long-range attacks.
Shangguan Yu summoned the Exquisite Vast Heaven Divine Sword again, pursuing the Supreme Freedom Demon King and striking it repeatedly, but his power alone could not break through the boss’s blood-red armor.
Lin Xun unleashed two more blasts of dragon breath, pushing the little dragonkin to the brink of death.
According to the game’s notifications, they had only managed to deplete a third of the boss’s ‘armor gauge.’
The Valkyrie arrived at the battlefield too, but even she was powerless to stop the Demon King’s advance. The colossal boss, protected by its blood-red armor, simply ignored all their attacks.
[The Supreme Freedom Demon King stepped off the cloud bridge and onto the grounds of the Shaking Light Palace, facing the undefended Celestial Palace.]
[The enormous palace roof barely reached the Demon King’s chest.]
[The Supreme Freedom Demon King threw back its head with a long howl, then stepped forward again, raising both massive fists to smash the palace.]
Lin Xun drew a deep breath.
The little dragonkin’s life force was spent. Even if he switched to a healer, there wouldn’t be time to recover.
At this point, he had no choice but to use his trump card!
[You possess the Shell of the Fire-Worshipping Palace Master of Iya Palace!]
[You form seals and chant incantations, raising the Ritual Exorcism Wand high overhead…]
[Just as the Supreme Freedom Demon King’s gigantic fists were about to crash into the palace, a colossal golden barrier suddenly erupted upward!]
[A hemispherical barrier enveloped the entire palace in protection. The entire shield blazed with dazzling golden light, and countless blood-red tadpole-script runes flickered across its surface.]
[The giant fists slammed down with an earth-shattering roar that made the ground quake uncontrollably!]
[You looked toward the palace, although the Absolute Barrier Seal of the Ten Directions had grown slightly dim, it had not shattered in a single blow. It still held firm, guarding the Shaking Light Palace!]
Yesterday, Lin Xun had worked from afternoon till late at night in the Easter Egg Chapter precisely to set up this large-scale barrier.
Unlike talisman barriers, large-scale barriers required a truly staggering quantity of materials.
From all the material items he had pulled from the ornate treasure chests earlier, setting up this one barrier had consumed seventy percent of them.
Yet that enormous resource cost was justified, compared to an ordinary talisman barrier, this barrier’s defensive power was over ten times stronger.
Only such a sturdy large-scale barrier could withstand the final boss’s full-force assault.
Originally, Lin Xun had thought that if he didn’t need the large barrier, he could reclaim the materials and save some money.
But in this situation, if he didn’t activate it right now, the Shaking Light Palace would be lost.
At this moment, the shikigami Snow Woman and Nurarihyon, along with Lu Caiyi and Yin Linlin, also arrived on the battlefield.
“What kind of overpowered defensive item is this…” Yin Linlin exclaimed in shock.
“With defense like that, it’s at least a legendary-grade defensive item!”
[The current situation had turned into the final boss relentlessly attacking the Absolute Barrier Seal of the Ten Directions, while all the Star Lord Apostles and their summoned creatures crowded behind the Supreme Freedom Demon King, unleashing a furious barrage of attacks.]
[The boss had only two options, either fully commit to breaking the barrier and destroying the Shaking Light Palace, or turn to face the Apostles head-on and force its way through their offense to attack the remaining Celestial Palaces.]
Lin Xun was most worried that the Supreme Freedom Demon King would pick the latter. If that happened, the Seven Star Lords likely wouldn’t be able to stop it.
Steeling himself, he issued a command to Nurarihyon.
