Chapter 554 Black Sky Gun Sea!
The sky returned to its tranquil blue, and Li Xueru stood quietly on the clouds, with the slowly rotating Divine Dragon Tower behind him, standing like a guardian deity.
"Demon Emperor, Jiang Yi..." he murmured to himself, his eyes flashing with a complex light.
"Both of them have displayed astonishing strength." He clenched his fists, feeling an unprecedented sense of urgency.
As a level 95 god-level powerhouse, Li Xueru has always been regarded as the representative of the pinnacle of the human race, unmatched by anyone.
Above him, only the mysterious and unpredictable Emperor Fan of the Dragon Clan Academy could rival him.
For a long time, he had enjoyed unparalleled glory and brilliance, almost forgetting the possibility of failure. However, everything today has completely overturned his understanding.
The Demon Emperor easily defeated him with just a phantom image and two seemingly baseless fingers, demonstrating his unfathomable strength.
Jiang Yi, that legendary figure, even before he was fully resurrected, was able to slay the Demon King's god-level avatar from a thousand miles away and completely shatter the Demon Emperor's phantom with just a Demon-Slaying Sword.
At this moment, Li Xueru deeply felt that he still had many shortcomings.
He knew that this was not just a difference in strength, but also a contest of mindset, wisdom, and will.
He needs to re-examine himself and continuously improve and hone his skills to meet the even more severe challenges ahead.
Both the Demon Emperor and Jiang Yi possess power that is beyond my reach.
Li Xueru's long-dormant fighting spirit was ignited at this moment. He clenched his fists, said nothing more, and silently made a vow in his heart.
He, Li Xueru, has never bowed his head in front of anyone.
Since there are shortcomings, we should do our best to catch up.
At this moment, his fighting spirit burned like a raging fire, as if he had returned to the passionate years of his youth.
He firmly believes that no obstacle in the world can stop him from moving forward.
...
Jiang Chen has just finished a dungeon challenge.
In less than three days, his level had soared to level 58.
Such a speed of advancement is simply unimaginable for ordinary professionals.
With enough cooldowns, he could level up almost every two days. However, unfortunately, the four high-level cooldown charms he possessed, which originally had 200 cooldowns, now had less than 30 left.
This was no longer enough to allow him to reach level 59.
"Once the cooldown of this cooldown charm is used up, I'll go back to my teacher to replenish my energy, and then come back to grind for two more days. That should be enough to reach level 60 smoothly."
"By then, I will be able to acquire some new skills."
"I'm really looking forward to seeing what the level 60 skills will be like."
With a glimmer of hope, Jiang Chen stepped into the dungeon once again.
His dungeon-running time remained consistent, once every half hour.
Although the process was somewhat tedious, Jiang Chen felt incredibly satisfied whenever he saw his experience points steadily increasing.
However, when he finished the dungeon again, a strong smell of blood suddenly filled his nostrils. The sky had darkened, and terrified screams rang in his ears.
A huge gun shadow suddenly fell from the sky and slammed down on him.
Jiang Chen's reaction was already considered quick, but the speed of the gun shadow was even faster. He didn't have time to react before he was directly smashed away.
The snow in front of the dungeon entrance was blasted away by the enormous impact, revealing the frozen ground beneath.
His skeletal armor shattered instantly, utterly unable to withstand the attack of this god-level power.
Meanwhile, in his summoned ranks, the undead legion was also wounded and fell to the ground.
"This is a god-level attack!"
"I sense the abyss's presence; the Demon King has arrived!"
Jiang Chen's mind raced, and he immediately recognized who was attacking him. He was still flying backward in the air when the second wave of attacks came down like a storm.
At this critical moment, a bright light shone around Jiang Chen, and the undead legion mobilized instantly, like an army ready to be deployed.
The Lich General's Legion Healing spells flashed across the battlefield, providing a continuous source of life to the undead legion.
The second gunshot struck Jiang Chen with perfect accuracy, but it was too fast for him to dodge.
The massive damage was instantly transferred to the undead legion, but thanks to the Lich General's timely healing, the undead legion barely survived this fierce attack.
The undead army then quickly dispersed to avoid being attacked by the enemy's group.
Immediately afterwards, the third gunshot struck down like lightning, even faster than the first two.
The three gunshots launched a series of attacks in less than half a second.
The speed of the opponent's attack shocked Jiang Chen.
If he hadn't reacted quickly, he probably would have died on the spot.
Compared to the Snow God of Tianshan he had encountered before, Jiang Chen was even more certain that the Demon King he was facing this time was far more powerful.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the scene at the dungeon entrance, where human corpses littered the ground, a scene of utter devastation.
A massive barrier enveloped the entire world, creating what appeared to be a pitch-black abyss.
Upon seeing the corpses of his compatriots, Jiang Chen's anger was instantly ignited, and his killing intent swept over him like a storm.
Finally, in the brief moment between the third gunshots, he saw the enemy's true face.
A colossal demon king, ten meters tall, stood there, its enormous wings spreading out to blot out the sky, with a diameter exceeding thirty meters.
It held in its hand a huge musket burning with abyssal fire, and it was this musket that fired those deadly spear shadows.
Jiang Chen recognized the other party's identity at a glance: the Black Sky Demon King, a renowned powerhouse among the many demon kings of the abyss.
However, he could also tell that what came this time was not the Black Demon King's true form, but one of its clones.
Although it was just a clone, its strength was between level 90 and 91, which was still a huge challenge for Jiang Chen.
However, he had no intention of backing down.
"It's just a clone, I can definitely fight it!" Jiang Chen thought to himself.
At this moment, the Black Demon King raised his musket again, the tip pointing directly at Jiang Chen.
Another spear shadow came whistling in, and Jiang Chen roared angrily, the primordial rune on the back of his right hand flashing with dazzling light.
The "Gathering Power" skill activated, instantly boosting his attributes to their maximum. Feeling the surging power within his body, Jiang Chen was shocked.
His attributes have once again broken through the limits.
The upper limit for each attribute is no longer fixed at 100 million points, but has jumped to an astonishing 150 million points.
Recalling Antares's words, he understood the reason behind it: the journey to the Divine Stone dungeon had greatly enhanced his soul, making it more refined.
Although the changes to the physical body are not significant, they are enough to allow the upper limit of attributes to be broken.
Flames leaped above his left hand—that was his skill, Soul Burn.
The power of this skill is determined not only by its level but also by Jiang Chen's mental strength attribute.
Now, with a Spirit attribute of 150 million, the power of this skill is several times greater than before.
The Black Demon King felt this sudden power and let out a shrill scream, his originally fierce attack momentum was also interrupted.
"This demon king will surely take your life today!" the Black Heaven Demon King roared, his enormous demonic body transforming into a dark whirlwind, hurtling towards him like a meteor.
A resolute glint flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes. With a thought, the "Strong Soldier" skill on the back of his left hand instantly activated.
With the enhancement of "Strong Soldiers", the power of Soul Burning soared again, increasing by 500% compared to the last time.
An even more intense spark bloomed on the Black Demon King's forehead, instantly engulfing him in a sea of fire.
The Black Demon King was surrounded by black mist and the flames of the abyss burned fiercely. He grinned as he tried to resist, but found that his soul was being enveloped by a layer of black mist, forming a protective layer.
However, while this protective layer blocked most of the attacks, it did not completely isolate the power of the soul-burning attack.
Because it is an avatar rather than the original body, its soul power is relatively weak, and its defense is insufficient to withstand such a powerful soul attack.
The excruciating pain swept through his body once more, interrupting the Black Demon King's sinister laughter. His originally fierce attacks became twisted and deformed due to the intense pain.
Even the mighty Demon King finds it difficult to bear the pain of the soul.
Jiang Chen seized this brief opening and unleashed his other skills without hesitation: the Curse of Aging and the Starburst of Poison, both of which poured down like a torrential rain.
At the same time, the elemental lich appeared beside him, and amidst lightning and thunder, the undead legion launched a fierce attack.
Among them, the most powerful skeleton berserker swung his giant axe, leaped up, and unleashed a powerful skill.
"Get out of my way! Black Sky Demon Spear!" Black Sky Demon King roared, swinging his enormous spear, which was burning with abyssal fire, once again in an attempt to block the onslaught of attacks.
The Black Sky Demon Spear roared and unleashed a violent power, with countless dark spear shadows flashing in the air as the Black Flame Spear was swung in its hand.
The dark world, which was originally shrouded by the abyss barrier, has become even more profound, as if even the light has been swallowed up.
Thousands of gunshots flashed across the dark night sky, as sharp as a meteor shower. The skeleton berserkers who had just charged forward were sent flying backward by this dense attack.
The elemental liches unleashed a continuous barrage of explosions, igniting faint sparks in the darkness.
Jiang Chen flipped his hand, and a red light flashed, revealing a Flame Lich engulfed in flames.
The raging flames and the black flames of the Dark Lord intertwined, reflecting a bizarre and fantastical world.
The Flame Lich charged toward the Dark Lord, its flames blazing, as if to engulf him in a sea of fire.
The Black Demon King sensed the blazing divine flames emanating from the Flame Lich, and instantly changed the direction of his spear shadows. The densely packed spear shadows converged into a wall, blocking the Flame Lich's path.
With a deafening roar, the Flame Lich exploded amidst the barrage of gunfire, unleashing a terrifying burst of flames that forced the Black Sky Demon King to retreat repeatedly.
Jiang Chen felt a slight pang of pain in his heart, as many of the skeleton warriors had also suffered severe injuries in the explosion.
The explosion was extremely powerful, exceeding the skeleton warriors' tolerance limits.
The All-Connect talent also became useless at this moment, making the loss irreparable.
However, Jiang Chen understood that this was precisely the helplessness and sacrifice in battle.
Although the Black Demon King was blasted away, it was not injured. It quickly regained its footing and attacked Jiang Chen again.
A flash of green light appeared in Jiang Chen's palm, and a highly poisonous lich appeared.
It was created from the essence and blood of the god of poison, and exuded a chilling aura of deadly venom. Sensing this poisonous power, the Black Demon King instantly changed his charging posture and retreated frantically.
At the same time, it roared repeatedly, its voice shaking the heavens and the earth.
"Black Sky Gun Sea!"
With its roar, the entire barrier was instantly filled with gun shadows, as if it had turned into a sea of guns.
The black fire spears relentlessly struck the undead legion, while simultaneously bombarding the poisonous lich.
Although the venomous lich was powerful, it only managed to charge a few hundred meters before being blasted apart by the dense barrage of gunfire.
Jiang Chen's gaze turned cold. He understood that the Black Sky Demon King had seen through his tactics.
