Chapter 108 The First Battle of the Fengdu Emperor, the Ghost General
The voice was gentle, yet it seemed to contain the weight of the entire world, echoing throughout the hall.
Every word was like a pebble thrown into a still lake, making the entire first team tense.
Xiao Qianyu's muscles tensed instantly, and she lowered the Red Lotus Goddess Spear slightly, assuming a stance ready to unleash [Flash Strike] at any moment.
Zhao Leiguang then stomped heavily on his newly acquired S-grade [Shoes of Senluo], his entire body rooted to the spot like a rock, ready to transform into a "dump truck" at any moment.
On the throne, the figure hidden behind the beaded curtain seemed completely unconcerned about their vigilance.
His gaze swept across the entire room, finally landing precisely on Lu Yan.
"That 'object' you're wearing is quite interesting."
The Emperor's voice carried a hint of amusement, "Keep a close watch on it, lest a thief steal its essence."
Lu Yan felt a chill run down his spine.
An artifact? He was referring to the [Disc of Nothingness]! Not only the old man, but even the Great Emperor of Fengdu recognized it at a glance?
Before he could think it through, the Emperor's voice rang out again, majestic and indifferent.
"Now that you have entered this place, you should abide by the rules here."
"Three trials. First, battle the ghost general; second, break through the illusion; third, challenge the emperor's shadow."
"If you succeed, all your desires will be fulfilled. If you fail, your souls will return to this place and become dust forever."
The moment the words fell, without warning, dark cracks appeared in the floor of the magnificent hall.
Thick, inky black energy surged out from the cracks, rapidly gathering and condensing on the open ground in front of everyone.
"roar!"
With a roar that seemed to come from the depths of hell, a giant ghost general, ten meters tall and tightly bound by black chains as thick as an arm, materialized.
It wielded a giant axe wider than a door panel, and two eerie blue soul flames burned in its empty eye sockets, locking onto Xiao Qianyu, who was closest to it.
The first test has begun!
"I'll go first!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Qianyu's cool voice rang out in the communication channel.
The next moment, her figure vanished into thin air.
[Flash Strike]!
A crimson afterimage flashed across the hall, and almost simultaneously, Xiao Qianyu appeared behind the Ghost General. The Crimson Lotus Goddess Spear in her hand, carrying a terrifying force capable of tearing apart Grade A alloy, pierced precisely into the Ghost General's back!
laugh--!
The spear tip pierced through the seemingly sturdy black armor without any resistance, emerging from the chest. At the wound, crimson karmic fire exploded, blasting a hole the size of a washbasin into the ghost general's chest.
However, a strange scene happened.
The ghost general seemed to feel no pain, and its movements did not even falter. It slowly turned around, and from the hideous hole in its chest, black mist swirled, and fleshy buds grew and healed at a visible speed.
In less than three seconds, the wound was completely healed.
"What?!" Zhao Leiguang's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"My turn!"
High in the sky, Lin Chuxue's voice carried a hint of stubborn defiance.
The crimson [Sparkling Phoenix Cry] feather robe shone brightly, and endless fire elements gathered in her palm to form a fiery phoenix with a wingspan of over a hundred meters.
"go!"
The fiery phoenix let out a clear cry, trailing a dazzling tail of flames, and crashed heavily into the ghost general.
The sizzling sound of the 【Unquenchable Karmic Fire】 was a terrifying skill that could ignore defense and deal true damage based on a percentage of maximum health!
But this time, it failed.
The ghost general's body was burned black in the flames, and even half of it melted away, but the surging black energy seemed to have endless vitality. No matter how the karmic fire burned it, it could reassemble and return to its original state in the next second.
"roar!"
The ghost general slammed his giant axe into the ground, and dozens of black wisps spread out from beneath his feet, transforming into ghost soldiers wielding broken weapons, roaring as they rushed towards the crowd.
"Physical, energy, and true damage—all are ineffective!" Su Yunqing's voice carried a hint of solemnity. "Its regenerative abilities are too strong!"
Undying!
Just as everyone was at a stalemate, Lu Yan remained standing still, motionless.
Deep within his pupils, the world-destroying black lotus, composed of billions of chains of divine laws, was spinning wildly.
In the "Black Lotus's" view, the entire world is deconstructed into the most primitive flow of information.
The seemingly invincible ghost general's core was not flesh and blood, but a crystal-clear, blood-red inscription of the law—[Immortality].
What's even more interesting are the summoned ghost soldiers.
Their bodies were also covered with faint traces of "undying".
[Trait: Immortality – When a demon soldier is destroyed, it will revive after 10 seconds and gain a 5% boost to all attributes. This effect can stack infinitely. When the demon general dies, all demon soldiers will be annihilated together.]
Infinite resurrection, and getting stronger the more you fight?
This is an unsolvable dead end!
But a strange smile appeared on Lu Yan's lips.
"A bug delivered right to our doorstep, might as well let it glitch."
His low mutterings were clearly audible on the tense battlefield.
"Everyone, ignore the big ones!" Lu Yan's voice calmly relayed to each teammate through the communication channel, "Focus fire on those little brats! Let the Gluttonous Belt steal the Undying attribute!"
The order was given, and everyone was stunned.
"Lu Yan, those little things will revive and become stronger!" Zhao Leiguang couldn't help but shout.
"I know."
"Do as I say!"
Xiao Qianyu was the first to react; she had an almost blind trust in Lu Yan.
Her figure flickered again. This time, her target was no longer the ghost general, but a ghost soldier charging at the forefront.
The Crimson Lotus Goddess Spear pierced through him instantly like a red lightning bolt.
The ghost soldier let out a mournful cry and vanished into black mist.
The moment it vanished, the ancient-style [Taotie] belt around Xiao Qianyu's waist suddenly lit up with a greedy, eerie light.
A system notification that only she could see popped up in her mind.
[Detectable keyword: Undying]
[Successfully devoured! You have temporarily gained the attribute: Immortality (60 seconds)! Within this time limit, you will be resurrected upon death and fully restored!]
Xiao Qianyu's eyes lit up instantly.
"I understand!"
"Holy crap! You can do that?!" Zhao Leiguang also realized what was happening and shouted excitedly. He immediately activated [Savage Charge] and, like a mad bull, charged headlong into the pile of ghost soldiers.
Lin Chuxue, Wen Yue, Shen Xinglin, and all the team members wearing the [Taotie] belt all understood Lu Yan's intention at this moment.
They ignored the enormous ghost general and, like tigers among sheep, began to slaughter the seemingly endless ghost soldiers with madness.
Ding!Ding!Ding!
[Successfully devoured! You have temporarily acquired the attribute: Undying!]
[Successfully devoured! ...]
In an instant, almost every member of the first squad was surrounded by the glowing light of the "Undying" attribute.
Zhao Leiguang didn't even try to dodge anymore; with his life force critically low, he went straight for the ghost general's giant axe.
The ghost general swung his giant axe down, creating a fierce wind that tore through the air, and struck Zhao Leiguang hard.
boom!
Zhao Leiguang was sent flying more than ten meters away by the blow, with a deep axe wound on his body that revealed the bone, and his health bar dropped to zero.
Normally, he would have turned into dust and returned to the real world.
But at this moment, he has fully recovered.
As long as the cycle continues, there will be no more defensive concerns, and all efforts can be focused on output!
"Hahahaha! That was awesome!" Zhao Leiguang laughed wildly and charged forward again. "Again!"
The tide of battle turned in an instant.
Before she finished speaking, Xiao Qianyu's figure had already transformed into an elusive red streak of light, flashing wildly across the ghost general's body.
