83: The spear of lightning! The end of the Pharaoh!

Dragon Nation National Destiny Operations Center.

The moment the explosion occurred, all screens connected to the dungeon world turned into a blinding static.

“Zzz... zzzzt...”

Piercing static noise echoed throughout the entire Command Center.

“What’s going on?!”

“Signal lost!”

“Quick! Fix it! I need to see what’s happening inside!”

Li Guodong was sweating profusely, shouting at the technical staff.

Lin Zhan’s face was also incredibly grim; he stared intently at the static screen, his fists clenched tightly.

In that instant, they clearly saw the terrifying explosion of the energy ball; its power was even more dreadful than a high-yield nuclear bomb!

Are Wang Yi and the others... still alive?

No one knew.

The entire Command Center fell into a deathly silence; everyone’s hearts were in their throats, waiting anxiously.

Time passed, minute by minute.

Every second felt as long as a century.

Finally.

“Signal restored!” a technician shouted excitedly.

The static screen flickered, and the image reappeared.

The image was still shaking violently, full of interference ripples, but the scene inside could barely be made out.

When they saw the scene on the screen, everyone gasped.

The originally magnificent and extremely luxurious main tomb chamber had completely vanished.

In its place was an enormous, bottomless pit.

The edges of the giant pit were still burning with black flames, emitting thick smoke, like an entrance to hell.

The interior of the entire Pyramid was almost completely hollowed out.

And in that hellish ruin, the Dragon Team members lay scattered on the ground, covered in dust, their lives unknown.

“Quick! Check their vital signs!” Lin Zhan commanded in a deep voice.

“Yes!”

Soon, the team members’ vital sign data appeared on the large screen.

Fortunately, all twenty names showed a green “Alive” status!

“Great! They’re all alive!”

“Thank heavens! Thank heavens!”

Cheers of relief erupted in the Command Center.

Li Guodong was so excited that he slumped into his chair, feeling as if all the strength had been drained from his body.

Those few minutes had almost given him a heart attack.

“Cough... cough cough...”

In the dungeon ruins.

Wang Yi was the first to struggle out of a pile of rubble.

He shook his dizzy head, spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, and felt as if all the bones in his body were about to fall apart.

The explosion just now was truly terrifying.

If he hadn't, at the last moment, pressed Wu Qiong beneath him and used his back to absorb most of the shockwave, they both would probably be dust in the universe by now.

“Wu Qiong, how are you?” He looked down at Wu Qiong, who was protected beneath him.

“Cough cough... Cap... Captain...” Wu Qiong also woke up. He looked at Wang Yi’s bloody back, where even white bones were visible, and his eyes instantly turned red. “I... I’m fine... your back...”

“I won’t die.” Wang Yi bared his teeth, trying to smile, but it pulled at the wound on the corner of his mouth, making him gasp in pain.

He struggled to stand up and looked around.

Chen Hu, Zhao Zihan, Li Bingyao... one by one, the team members woke up from their unconsciousness. Although all were injured, fortunately, there were no fatalities.

“Is everyone... alright?” Wang Yi asked hoarsely over the comms.

“I’m fine... still alive...”

“Damn it... I almost bit the dust...”

“That power... it’s too damn scary...”

The voices of the team members rose and fell, filled with lingering fear.

Just then.

Rumble—

A huge pile of ruins not far away suddenly shook.

A giant, mantis-like scythe arm stretched out from the rubble!

“What?!”

“That guy... isn't dead yet?!”

Seeing this scene, all the team members who had just breathed a sigh of relief felt their hearts sink to rock bottom once again!

It actually survived at the center of such a world-destroying explosion?!

Its vitality is too tenacious!

Under everyone's horrified gaze, the Monster Pharaoh King, whose head had been pierced by Wang Yi's scepter, struggled out of the ruins.

Its current state was utterly miserable.

A good portion of its massive body had been blown off, and one leg and one arm were missing.

Its body was covered in crisscrossing, huge wounds, and black-green blood flowed everywhere.

The large hole in its smooth head, made by the golden scepter, was still gurgling black blood outwards.

It was at the brink of death!

But it was still not dead!

“Roar...”

The Monster Pharaoh King raised its head. Although its smooth face had no features, everyone clearly felt a murderous intent, filled with venom and madness, lock onto them!

Dragging its broken body, it walked step by step towards Wang Yi, who was closest to it.

It wanted to kill this insignificant mortal who had pushed it to such a desperate situation!

“Captain! Be careful!”

“Run!”

The team members cried out in alarm.

Wang Yi, however, stood still.

He stared intently at the approaching monster, his eyes devoid of fear, only a cold murderous intent.

“Run?”

“Today, I'm going to kill you completely right here!”

Wang Yi's body had also reached its limit.

The lightning power within him was already exhausted, and the enchantment time of the holy light desert eagle had passed.

He was now just an ordinary person with a stronger physique.

However, he still had one last trump card!

He slowly raised his right hand.

Faint, almost invisible blue electric arcs began to gather again in his palm.

That was his last bit of power, squeezed out by draining his life essence!

“Its core must still be in that face! This is my only chance!”

“Just one strike! If I can hit its core again, it'll be dead!”

He looked at the Monster Pharaoh King, which had already reached him and raised its poisonous scythe high, and a terrifying glint burst forth in his eyes!

He ignored the scythe that was about to fall, instead concentrating all his attention and power on his right hand.

Under his control, the faint electric arcs continuously compressed and condensed.

Finally, they formed a two-meter long... Lightning Spear, composed of pure lightning energy!

This spear was dazzling pure white all over, exuding a terrifying aura that purified and destroyed everything!

This was the strongest single-target attack Wang Yi could currently master!

And it was his final strike, risking everything!

“Die!!!”

The moment the Monster Pharaoh King's scythe was about to cleave his skull.

Wang Yi moved.

The Lightning Spear in his hand, carrying all his anger and will, like a lightning bolt piercing through the night, fiercely stabbed into the Monster Pharaoh King's huge, smooth head!

Pfft—

This time, there was no obstruction.

The Lightning Spear easily pierced through the tough outer skin, deeply embedding itself into its brain!

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

The Monster Pharaoh King's movements froze.

Its raised scythe hung in mid-air, less than a centimeter from Wang Yi's head.

“Awooo...”

A mournful cry, filled with unwillingness and despair, emanated from its body.

Immediately after.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Countless cracks, centered around the Lightning Spear's point of entry, wildly spread across its smooth head!

Bang!!!

The blood-colored core crystal exploded with a roar!

The Monster Pharaoh King's massive, twisted body, as if its skeleton had been removed, quickly went limp and melted.

Finally, it completely transformed into a pool of foul-smelling, thick, inky-black liquid.

It was dead.

This terrifying final BOSS, which had pushed the Dragon Team and Wang Yi to the brink of despair, was finally completely defeated!

And Wang Yi, after throwing that last spear, finally couldn't hold on any longer. His vision went black, and he fell straight backward.

“Captain!”

Before his consciousness completely plunged into darkness, he seemed to hear the anxious cries of his teammates.
