Chapter 482 A Powerful Self-Destruction Nearly Wiped Out the Entire Army
Jiang Chen did not use Soul Burning, knowing it would be ineffective.
Previous attempts have shown that these Thunder Beasts have no souls; they are more like puppets, born solely for battle.
Jiang Chen still had a plan in mind.
The next moment, the attacks surged like a tidal wave, engulfing the Thunder God Beast.
In particular, the Skeleton Berserker, driven by the power of "Strong Soldiers," is incomparably mighty.
With the combined boosts of the Lich General and "Strong Army", the power of 276 has reached an astonishing 124 million.
A berserk killing technique, based on raw power, amplified sixfold. A single axe strike is like an ordinary blow with over 800 million units of force.
The power of thunder raged across the Thunder God Beast, shattering its defenses and inevitably causing severe damage.
If it weren't for the fact that the Thunder God Beast possessed the life force of a world-class BOSS and had the characteristic of enhancing its life force, it would have already perished.
However, even so, it was difficult to withstand the continuous onslaught of more than 10,000 skeleton berserkers.
The attacks of the Skeleton Archmage and Skeleton Archer should not be underestimated, as their damage accumulates.
The Thunder God Beast was instantly severely injured.
Suddenly, the Thunder God Beast shone brightly, and Jiang Chen's heart skipped a beat. He immediately ordered the Skeleton Berserker to retreat.
He initially thought the Thunder God Beast was about to self-destruct, but then he realized something was wrong.
"The aura is unusual; it's not a self-destruction. It might be a new attack." The aura of the Thunder God Beast remained undisturbed.
Skill: Ten Directions Thunder!
In an instant, thunder roared from all four directions of the passage.
If this were happening outside, it would surely cause a sensation.
However, there was no sound in the Burial Thunder Canyon.
The thunder was there, but it seemed to have been buried, silent and still.
The silence only added to the eeriness.
At this moment, Jiang Chen's hair stood on end, and he felt a chill run down his spine.
He watched helplessly as lightning raged wildly throughout the entire passageway.
The entire undead army, including himself, was submerged by this sea of thunder.
The lightning flashed and disappeared in an instant.
It all happened in less than half a second.
Jiang Chen seemed to have one foot in the gates of the underworld. This skill nearly wiped out the entire undead army.
He himself nearly lost his life.
However, Jiang Chen knew he would not die because of this; with the protection of the immortal aura, the undead army would not perish either.
But right now, there is only one Thunder God Beast. Next, they will face two, or even three.
If two Thunder God Beasts were to take turns unleashing the Ten Directions Thunder, his life would be in great danger.
What made it even more difficult for him was that there was nowhere to hide from this skill.
The entire passage was covered by lightning, and anyone inside could not avoid its attacks.
"We must change our strategy!" Jiang Chen thought to himself.
Dozens of healing spells were cast on the undead legion almost simultaneously, and the undead legion, which was on the verge of collapse, gradually recovered under the healing.
Only five seconds after the "Strong Soldier" skill effect ended, the undead legion launched another fierce attack on the Thunder God Beast. Jiang Chen kept a close eye on it, fearing that it would unleash that terrifying Ten Directions Thunder again.
Fortunately, it never used this skill again until the Thunder God Beast was defeated.
The Thunder God Beast's aura began to become chaotic, and the lightning around its body surged wildly.
"They're about to self-destruct!" Jiang Chen quickly ordered the undead legion to retreat.
The skeleton berserker also retreated as far as possible.
At this moment, the undead legion, including Jiang Chen himself, was entangled in lightning and unable to retract, so they could only try to keep their distance.
Apart from the Skeleton Berserker, Jiang Chen led the rest of the undead legion to retreat to the entrance of the passage.
At this point, they were about 2000 meters away from the Thunder God Beast.
The reason why we had to rush over a thousand meters with the Thunder God Beast was precisely to ensure a safe distance when it self-destructed.
Jiang Chen wasn't sure if this distance was enough; he could only try.
As for those skeleton berserkers, they should retreat as far as possible; it was a last resort.
Lightning flashed again, and Jiang Chen instinctively closed his eyes tightly.
The light was too dazzling; looking directly at it would likely damage one's eyesight.
Even with his eyes closed, he could still feel the blinding light coming through his eyelids.
"The self-destruct range is 1500 meters."
"Its power is astonishing; even the aura of immortality cannot withstand it."
"The full-connection talent is also ineffective."
Through his senses, Jiang Chen witnessed the skeleton berserker gradually dissolving in the lightning.
Under the effect of the Undying Aura, the Skeleton Berserker can restore its health, but the instantaneous damage is too great, and the Full Link talent simply doesn't have time to take effect.
Jiang Chen sighed softly; this time the losses were even more severe than the last.
The massive blast radius nearly wiped out the entire Skeleton Berserker roster.
However, he was also glad that his decision was correct.
If things had gone the way they always have, he would probably have been in danger.
Looking at the empty passage after the self-destruction, Jiang Chen sighed softly and continued forward, braving the lightning.
At the same time, he began to summon new skeleton berserkers.
When Jiang Chen stepped into the eighth passage, his "Strong Soldier" skill had been restored.
This hurdle wasn't difficult for him. With the "Strong Soldier" skill, taking down the two Thunder God Beasts was no problem. Even if they unleashed the Ten Directions Thunder skill twice in a row, the undead army would remain unharmed thanks to the protection of the Undying Aura.
The only thing that troubled him was the self-destruction of the two Thunder God Beasts.
Jiang Chen was unaware whether the blast radius would expand if the two lightning beasts self-destructed simultaneously.
Based on past experience, as long as they are not too far apart, the blast radius should not change much.
For safety reasons, after the starlight fell, Jiang Chen pulled the Thunder God Beast and ran for nearly 2000 meters.
This gave him a safe distance of over 3000 meters.
As he predicted, the self-destruction blast radius of the two Thunder God Beasts expanded to 2000 meters.
If it's like the seventh level, there will probably be quite a bit of trouble.
Although it is only a hypothetical possibility, if the undead army were to suffer a severe blow, it would almost be completely wiped out.
If the worst happens, he will probably be stuck in this place forever.
The price of all this was the annihilation of the Skeleton Berserkers.
This wasn't the first time Jiang Chen had experienced such a loss, and he was already mentally prepared for it.
Despite the deep sorrow in my heart, there was nothing I could do.
Now that things have come to this, he has no way out but to keep moving forward.
The ninth passage, the final checkpoint, lies silently in front of us.
Jiang Chen sat cross-legged in front of the passage and closed his eyes to rest.
Previously, when facing the two Thunder God Beasts, the continuous Ten Directions Thunder skill almost put the Undying Aura into a cooldown state.
Now, he needs to wait 24 hours for the immortality aura to fully recover.
"I wonder if anyone has been able to get here in the past thousands of years."
Jiang Chen gazed intently at the six passages, a surge of emotion welling up within him.
He understood that he had to choose the first passage on the far left.
Those who made the right choice at every previous decision and every fork in the road, and ultimately arrived here, are undoubtedly extremely rare.
Moreover, this place is at a level of difficulty that is considered a restricted area.
Jiang Chen guessed that he might be the first human professional to arrive here in thousands of years.
During the waiting period, Jiang Chen began to think about how to pass the next level.
"The three lightning beasts should be level 82."
"Even with the boost from the advanced soldier skill, we could only barely defeat two."
"However, those three uses of the Ten Directions Thunder skill were enough to instantly kill me and the undead legion."
"It seems I must find a way to stop them from unleashing their Ten Directions Thunder, or at least stop one of them."
Jiang Chen knew that his limit was that he could withstand two consecutive attacks from the Ten Directions Thunder.
Therefore, he must find a way to instantly kill one of the Thunder God Beasts in order to have a chance of winning.
Jiang Chen took out the solidified essence of the Fire God, pondering whether he could use it to summon a Flame Lich for a pseudo-god-level self-destruct attack.
However, the risk is still very high. If they fail to kill the other side, they will be the ones who die.
After careful consideration, Jiang Chen finally put away the essence blood of the Fire God and took out the corpse of the God of Poison.
At this moment, the aura of the God of Poison spread, and the surrounding vegetation began to decay the instant it came into contact with it.
The body of the God of Poison is filled with deadly toxins.
Wherever it goes, life is lost, leaving only desolation.
Jiang Chen took out an exquisite jade bottle and began to extract essence blood from it.
Since the corpse of a god is present, the essence and blood are naturally inexhaustible.
He decided to try using the essence of the Poison God to summon a Poison Lich and use its self-destruction to fight against the Lightning Beast.
This is a battle of self-destruction against self-destruction; who will prevail depends on the strength of both sides.
This is also one of Jiang Chen's important trump cards.
To ensure everything went smoothly, Jiang Chen made two preparations. In addition to preparing the essence blood of the God of Poison, he also deliberately left 10 skeleton archers outside the passage.
At the same time, he also left 10 Lich Generals as support for these sharpshooters.
In this way, they would not have to endure the attack of that terrifying Ten Directions Thunder skill.
If the self-destruction of the Venomous Lich fails to stop the Thunder Beast from unleashing its Ten Directions Thunder skill, then these 10 Skeleton Archers and the Lich General might be their only chance of survival.
A day passed, and the Undying Aura was finally restored to its original state. Jiang Chen tightly gripped the essence blood of the God of Poison, while leaving behind ten thousand Skeleton Archers as a reserve force.
Then, he resolutely stepped into the ninth level to face the approaching Thunder Beast.
