278: The 15th wave of all-powerful

Chen Du opened his eyes, looking at the familiar blue crystal beside him, confirming that he had once again arrived in the Crystal Space.

Every time he came here, it meant a "death," and during this Sifang Cave mission, he hadn't entered it once.

Coming in again today, he felt a strange sense of nostalgia.

Chen Du placed his hand on the blue crystal, sighing in his heart.

However, there was no time for sentimentality now; in 30 seconds, the 11th wave of monsters, Eight Direction Shaking Ape, would attack.

Although there were 30 of them, Chen Du's Life Strength and Martial Skill now overwhelmingly surpassed them, so dealing with them was naturally no problem.

One sword, one kill, he slaughtered them all, ending the battle in less than 30 seconds.

Then came the 12th wave... 13th wave... 14th wave... Finally, after killing four waves, a total of 120 monsters, today's protagonist arrived.

The 15th wave monster: Heavenly Book (LV16), quantity 1, omnipotent.

The Heavenly Book, just like its name, was a book, about 40 centimeters long, 20 centimeters wide, and 5 centimeters thick.

Don't ask Chen Du how he knew; if you ask, it's because my eyes are rulers!

The appearance of this wave of monsters was different from all living beings Chen Du had ever seen; Chen Du didn't even know how to categorize it.

Because the opponent was just a book, like those thick textbooks from the Liberal Arts class when he was in high school.

The Heavenly Book's Life Strength was not high, only Level 16, and its Martial Skill and Mental Energy were unknown.

Chen Du was also very surprised when he first saw this Boss, but he didn't care.

His plan at the time was to directly activate Promotion and take down the Boss!

Because, except for this 15th wave node, he wouldn't be able to use Promotion to fight Bosses later.

The reason is simple: Promotion has a limit.

According to the current progress, by the time he clears the 19th wave, his Life Strength Rank will probably be around Level 19, and the Promotion limit will be 19.9, making it meaningless whether he activates it or not.

The next major reward node is clearing the 25th wave, and by the same logic, his Life Strength Rank will be around Level 25 at that time.

However, the limit of Promotion after Sky Soaring Warrior is Level 24.9.

So the 15th wave was the Unique wave where he had a chance to exploit a loophole.

Unfortunately, he encountered this kind of Boss.

When Chen Du fought it, he finally understood why its description included the four words "omnipotent."

Because every page of this book possessed an ability!

If you activated Promotion, it would open page 805, which read "Purification," clearing all your Buff states.

War Stomp's Mental Energy immobilization would also be nullified by the "Magic Immunity" on its page 58.

Even using Hand of God's exchange to suddenly appear for a sneak attack, the opponent could instantly flip to page 170 and activate "Instant Movement" to evade.

Through multiple battles, Chen Du concluded that this Heavenly Book had no weaknesses.

But it was not unbeatable.

This Heavenly Book was a completely passive Boss; if you didn't attack it, it wouldn't actively attack you, just floating there, doing nothing.

But if you attacked it, your attacks would be neutralized by its various means.

After many trials, Chen Du found the Unique solution.

Great strength creates miracles!

This kind of opponent could only be defeated by brute force, by overwhelming it with raw power; although the opponent could cope with various abilities, its power was also limited, and if Chen Du exceeded that power, the opponent would naturally be unable to respond.

This time, upon seeing the opponent for the first time, Chen Du, who already had a plan, swung his sword.

After sensing the killing intent, the Heavenly Book immediately flipped to page 1803, "Spirit Communication," summoning a pink pig wearing sunglasses and holding a spiked club.

This little pig was as tall as Chen Du, and because they had fought before, Chen Du knew that the pink pig's strength was below his, but the opponent had the Heavenly Book's assistance!

After completing the summon, the Heavenly Book flipped again, finally stopping at page 2008, "Enhancement"!

Immediately, the pink pig's muscles bulged, and its height increased by 20 centimeters.

But Chen Du was not afraid, because at this moment, his strength was still superior to the pink pig's!

Perhaps because the Heavenly Book was too omnipotent, its Life Strength as a Boss was not high, and the pink pig's Life Strength was also Level 16, just like the Heavenly Book.

After being granted Enhancement, it had Level 17 Life Strength, and its Martial Skill was approximately Entrance to the Microscopic 1%, far from Chen Du's Entrance to the Microscopic 12%.

He didn't know how many Mystic Treasures it had; Chen Du was sure the opponent had them but couldn't use their abilities.

Although the pink pig was two Ranks higher than Chen Du, Chen Du's number of Seven Secret Treasures was still too advantageous, and the pig was still steadily retreating.

After knocking down the pink pig, Chen Du attacked the Heavenly Book again, knowing that this wasn't over; last time, he had fallen here.

The Heavenly Book retreated wildly and flipped pages again, this time opening two pages!

Page 92, "Healing," and Page 93, "Replication"!

The pink pig on the Surface, which had just been knocked down by Chen Du, seemed to believe in something, instantly standing up fully healed, and two more appeared on its left and right, making a total of three.

Chen Du looked at the three pink pigs in front of him with a calm expression; last time, he had been exhausted and killed by these three pink pigs.

Having fought his way up from the 11th wave, he wasn't at full stamina to begin with, and during the fight, he had to face three enhanced pink pigs, though they fought to a stalemate.

But the opponent had assistance!

During the fight, the Heavenly Book would flip to page 3001, "Spring Water," giving the pink pigs almost infinite stamina, and he was eventually worn down and killed.

However, Chen Du also found the correct method because of this; the only thing he lacked was strength.

Now, compared to when he challenged the Heavenly Book before, whether it was his Life Strength Rank, Martial Skill, or the number of Mystic Treasures, he was stronger, although none of them were qualitative changes.

But the superposition of the three was still very terrifying.

Chen Du now activated his Mystic Treasure; this time, he used the ability of the Third Mystic Treasure, Hand of Atim.

Each Mystic Treasure ability would be strengthened with the increase in the number of Secret Treasures; the Fifth Secret Treasure Promotion consumed less and lasted longer after the Awakening of the Sixth and Seventh Secret Treasures.

However, the upper Rank limit had not changed for now.

The biggest feature of Hand of Atim was that it could become a freely changing main body weapon.

But it could only serve as an extension of the hand; previous enhancements were in terms of distance, but this time it was different: after the Seventh Secret Treasure, Hand of Atim could grow a hand from the back!

Chen Du essentially had a third hand!

And because it was a main body weapon, this hand could also unleash Crescent Sky Rush!

Having had multiple combat experiences, Chen Du was very familiar with the attack patterns of these pink pigs and quickly defeated them without much danger.

Just when Chen Du thought he was about to defeat the Heavenly Book, he didn't expect the opponent to still have a trump card; sensing the threat, the Heavenly Book furiously flipped through pages, directly to the last page.

Page 5000, "Falling Down"!

The moment this page was opened, a street instantly flew out of the book and rushed towards Chen Du, attempting to destroy him directly with a physical attack.

Chen Du could feel the power of this street; it seemed to be more than just a simple physical attack.

His keen combat intuition made Chen Du realize that the Heavenly Book seemed unable to use other abilities at this moment; after evading with Hand of God, he split the Heavenly Book in half with a single sword.

However, this thing was a bit evil; Chen Du wasn't sure if this counted as killing the opponent, just as he was about to go for the finishing blow.

The prompt in his mind gave him a definitive answer.

[Congratulations, Host, defense waves: 15/15 (completed), obtained "Crystal Clone"]
