161: Altar leading to the land of cherry blossoms

In an instant, Huang Chen made a decision.

He ordered his clone to engage in battle.

After all, the Nirvana Body also possessed 80% of his main body's attributes.

Letting the clone lead the charge to test the boss's attack power and skills was perfectly suitable.

The clone and Huang Chen were connected telepathically, and the clone immediately used Soul Severing Stab.

At the same time, a blue light shone on the Ghost Lord's hand, and a blue Death Scythe appeared.

Boom! The two instantly collided, and two blood-red damage numbers floated up from above their heads.

-6123212

-812123

The Underworld Ghost Lord was directly repelled dozens of meters by Huang Chen's clone.

The clone pressed the attack, a virtual mist concealment spear was wielded with great power, and under the effect of the Northern Darkness Aura, the two sides were evenly matched.

"Attack power is around 1 million. Defense is even worse than the Blazing Winged Fire Dragon. And it's a physical entity."

"Roar!"

The Ghost Lord let out a shrill howl, its voice echoing throughout the entire Ghost Gate Pass.

"Woo woo woo~"

As if responding to the Ghost Lord's summons, the Ghost Souls, who had originally been afraid to enter the fog-free zone, screamed as they left the black fog and charged into the battlefield.

"You guys wait for me outside!"

After Huang Chen confirmed the Ghost Lord's strength, his main body stepped directly into the Ghost Gate, then instantly appeared beside his clone.

"Five Thunders Orthodox Law!" x4

"Karma Fire Burns the City!" x4

As soon as he landed, the two skills were instantly cast, enveloping both himself and his clone.

Ghost Souls can stack infinitely. If he were accidentally hit by a Ghost Soul that had stacked thousands of times, even Huang Chen's main body would have its HP instantly cleared.

Although he had Guardian Domain, wouldn't he have to wait a few more minutes to attack the Ghost Lord if he were knocked out of the protective shield?

Moreover, if he were knocked out of the protective shield and simultaneously landed next to a stacked entity, he would be beyond saving.

The Ghost Souls that rushed into the area covered by Huang Chen's skills basically turned into white light without lasting even half a second.

Their stats were more than double the weakness of the Ghost Souls roaming outside.

Confirming his safety, the main body and the clone attacked simultaneously.

"Returning Wind Falling Goose!"

"Soul Severing Stab!"

The two of them attacked the Underworld Ghost Lord from the front and back.

Currently, Huang Chen's attack power far exceeded that of the Underworld Ghost Lord, so the skill interruption effect was excellent.

Every time the Ghost Lord raised its scythe, it was basically interrupted, making it look like a big idiot standing foolishly in place, allowing the opponent to deal damage.

Huang Chen's damage output was extremely efficient. In just one minute, the Ghost Lord's HP bar dropped by about 5%.

At this rate, Huang Chen could kill this Level 80 Diamond Boss in less than 20 minutes.

"Blood Battle in Eight Directions!"

"Yang Guan Three Stacks!"

"Five Thunders Orthodox Law!" x4

During the battle, the main body and the clone continuously used interruption skills to disrupt the Ghost Lord's attacks. The main body occasionally found time to cast Five Thunders Orthodox Law to keep the Ghost Souls from getting close.

The Ghost Lord's HP plummeted rapidly.

It kept letting out roars, and the Ghost Souls charged forward even more fiercely. Unfortunately, they were annihilated within a few steps of entering the lightning zone.

Four minutes later, when the Underworld Ghost Lord's HP dropped to about 80%, a blue light suddenly shone on its body.

This was its defensive skill, removing and granting immunity to negative status effects for 30 seconds.

"Roar!"

No longer restricted by injury animations, the Underworld Ghost Lord roared and swung its massive scythe toward Huang Chen's main body.

But Huang Chen remained completely unfazed, immediately activating Black and Yellow Body and Golden Bell Shield.

He had just tested the Ghost Lord's attack power. With his powerful attack and the HP regeneration effect of the Northern Darkness Aura, he had nothing to fear from this blow.

"Bang!"

The disproportionately large scythe striking Huang Chen's shoulder was like hitting a piece of hard granite.

The scythe shattered into dots of blue light, yet Huang Chen remained completely motionless.

This strike took away over 600,000 of Huang Chen's HP, but in just an instant, his HP bar was full again.

About twenty minutes after the great battle began, the Ghost Lord's HP finally hit zero, and it dissipated into endless black fog with a piercing shriek.

[Ding]

[You have killed the Level 85 Diamond Boss Underworld Ghost Lord]

[Congratulations on completing the First Kill of a Level 85 Diamond Boss. You receive 34 points of bone structure reward.]

[It has been detected that you completed all damage output to the boss alone. Reward doubled. bone structure +68]

Region Announcement:

[Congratulations to Refiner Huang Chen for solo slaying a Level 85 Diamond Boss. Rewarding 500,000 Gold Coins and 36,000 Fame Points.]

All Trial Takers in Area 49101 glanced up at the announcement indifferently, but no one had much of a reaction.

Everyone seemed to be used to Huang Chen killing bosses above his level and securing the First Kill for bosses of various grades.

After all, what was there that man couldn't do?

It was just that deep down, they couldn't help but feel envy, jealousy, and hatred toward the various rewards Huang Chen received.

Huang Chen picked up all the drops without even looking, ordered his clone to continue exploring deeper into the Ghost Gate, and then instantly teleported back to Tie Shengnan's side.

Seeing Huang Chen appear, Tie Shengnan and the others came forward to greet him.

"Husband... how did it go?"

"Just a Level 85 Diamond Boss... didn't drop anything good. Take it back and give it to Chun Yan."

Hearing this, Tie Shengnan sent Huang Chen a trade request.

[Three pieces of Level 85 Diamond Equipment, one Death Scythe Forging Manual for Level 70 Diamond Equipment, one Level 70 Water Element skill book "Ice Trace Without Shadow"...]

Tie Shengnan stared at the pieces of equipment, jaw agape in shock.

This is what you meant by "didn't drop anything good"?

Any one of these items, if thrown onto the market, would be something an entire clan couldn't afford.

Do you even hear yourself talking?

She suspected Huang Chen was humblebragging, but she had no proof.

"Should we head back now?"

Tie Shengnan speechlessy put away the spoils of war. Now that all 200,000 people were Level 50, and since there were too many spoils of war that weren't immediately useful, they all had to be taken back and stored.

Furthermore, these people needed to rush to Central City to farm Fame Points.

Time is money.

After realizing the enormous profits of owning shops, even someone single-mindedly dedicated to combat like Tie Shengnan couldn't help but be drawn into the pursuit of wealth.

"Wait a moment!"

Huang Chen stood at the entrance of the Ghost Gate Pass, viewing his clone's perspective in his mind.

During the battle just now, he sensed a fluctuation similar to a teleportation altar deep within the Ghost Gate Pass.

He decided to let the clone confirm it first.

After the clone flew for about 10 minutes, a teleportation altar, no smaller than a Satellite City, appeared before its eyes.

"I knew it!"

Huang Chen exclaimed excitedly in front of the Ghost Gate Pass.

In the Star Abyss, whenever a teleportation altar appears in a monster region, it signifies a huge opportunity.

Just like the altar in Novice Village, teleporting to the Land of Skeletons directly allowed him to obtain a city building token.

How rare is a city building token in the Star Abyss?

You can tell by looking at how many bosses he's done a First Kill on recently without seeing even a hint of a city building token.

After confirming the existence of the altar, the clone instantly teleported next to Huang Chen.

The clone's cooldown is six hours; he must take it with him so it doesn't dissipate.

With a thought, when the 200,000 people reappeared, they were already in front of the Jinling City Gate.

If all 200,000 people were to use the teleportation arrays, it would cost a lot of money.

After the map was opened up, Central City and all major cities were on the same map.

They were just relatively far apart.

However, Huang Chen's Divine-grade Teleportation Ring doesn't care about distance; it only checks if you have a spatial anchor point.

Therefore, after understanding Forbidden City's massive expenses, Huang Chen saved money wherever he could.

After all, no one's money grows on trees.

After the spoils of war were handed over, Huang Chen instantly teleported to the side of the altar inside the Ghost Gate Pass.

Altars in the Star Abyss always give a prompt before teleporting, so as soon as he arrived, he stepped directly onto the altar.

[Ding!]

[This is a Two-way teleportation altar. The teleportation location is Amaterasu Main City, Satellite City No. 9, inside the Level 70 Yellow Springs Ghost Domain's Ghost Gate Pass.]

[Teleportation cost: 10 Gold Coins. Start teleportation?]

Seeing the system prompt, Huang Chen smiled sincerely, a smile that was so gentle... Sakura Country...
