Chapter 572 Jiang Ruo Arrives to Save the Day, Demon Emperor's Power
Everyone was deeply shocked.
The sudden appearance of the Skull Throne, accompanied by gusts of chilling black wind and a dense aura of death, seemed to have directly pulled a realm of the dead into this real world.
When the 30-meter-tall Skeleton King slowly rose from his throne, everyone stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
The Skeleton King, composed of 70,000 skeletons, boasts astonishingly high values for every single attribute, and its total attributes reach an astonishing level.
It was already incredibly close to godhood, and with the enhancement of Jiang Chen's "Strong Weapon" skill, it broke through the limits and reached the godhood level, and not just any ordinary godhood. However, this was still far from enough.
They were facing the Demon Emperor, whose power was immeasurable even across the space-time tunnel.
Only those who are halfway to godhood can contend with it.
In many people's minds, the Skeleton King still seems weak and powerless.
But Jiang Chen remained unmoved.
He knew that the true value of the "Strong Soldier" skill was not just about breaking through to god-level attributes.
More importantly, it provides an additional 500% damage effect.
The Skeleton King's will merged with Jiang Chen's will, firmly locking onto the Demon Emperor's outstretched giant hand.
Two powerful skills are activated simultaneously.
"Godslayer: Unleashes damage equal to 10 times the user's Strength attribute, dealing damage to a single target or area of effect. Cooldown: 1 minute." "Elemental Riot: Unleashes elemental damage equal to 10 times the user's Spirit attribute, dealing damage to a single target or area of effect. Cooldown: 1 minute."
In his "Powerful Soldier" state, the Skeleton King's strength attribute reached an unprecedented level, comparable to most god-level powerhouses.
However, the boost to the "Strong Soldier" skill becomes limited after reaching the God level, and it is no longer a simple 200% boost.
Similarly, the true power of a skill cannot be measured solely by numerical values. After reaching the god-level, the strength and power of a skill depend more on factors such as the degree of mastery and integration with the skill.
The Skeleton King gathered all his power, preparing to clash with the Demon Emperor.
Sometimes, even a negligible increase of one-tenth in attributes can lead to a qualitative leap in attack power due to the special effects of skills. Jiang Chen is now pinning all his hopes on the "Godslayer" skill, which, combined with the 500% extra damage from the "Strong Soldier" skill, represents the maximum power that the Skeleton King can currently display.
Not only "Godslayer", but also "Elemental Riot" is highly anticipated.
A sharp sword light ripped through the sky, this sword light, which was over a thousand meters long, seemed to tear space apart.
A deafening crash echoed through the sky, as if a tattered piece of dark, empty space had been ripped apart.
Feng An watched in stunned silence. Even a powerful expert like him could never unleash such a terrifying sword strike.
The Skeleton King's sword strike had already surpassed the limits of his comprehension.
Jiang Chen's strength at this moment also exceeded Feng Anzai's imagination.
The sword light slashed fiercely at the Demon Emperor's outstretched giant hand, marking Jiang Chen's second direct confrontation with the Demon Emperor.
Last time in the Divine Dragon Ancient City, he barely managed to make the Demon Emperor retreat with the help of the Divine Dragon Ancient Tower.
But this time, the Demon Emperor was clearly prepared, and Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
He held the Law Crystal tightly in his hand, prepared to fight with all his might if this attack failed.
The sword light collided with the Demon Emperor's giant palm, producing a deafening roar that illuminated the sky as if it were daytime.
Then, the surrounding elements began to become incredibly chaotic, exploding wildly on the Demon Emperor's giant hand.
The two skills, one primarily focused on physical attacks and the other secondary on elemental damage, complement each other and unleash astonishing power.
The Demon Emperor's giant hand trembled violently a few times, and visible cracks appeared on it.
Jiang Chen was overjoyed, feeling that there was hope. But in that instant, the Demon Emperor's giant hand clenched tightly, and with a loud bang, all the attacks were crushed into dust.
After pausing for only a second, the Demon Emperor's giant hand reached out again towards the Soul Grinding Disc.
Although somewhat disappointed, Jiang Chen understood that this result was not unexpected.
The Skeleton King wielded his massive greatsword and charged towards the Demon Emperor's gigantic hand. His cloak billowed in the wind, transforming into a dazzling white light that slammed into the Demon Emperor's giant hand.
At the same time, the Skeleton King's entire body erupted with a dazzling silver light, interspersed with golden radiance, making it brilliant and eye-catching.
"Absolute Defense: Immune to 99% of all damage and all negative status effects for 1 minute. Cooldown: 10 minutes."
The Skeleton King unleashed its final skill—Absolute Defense.
This skill was even more powerful than the Knight's Ultimate Defense; Jiang Chen believed that the Skeleton King would be invincible for one minute. However, although the Skeleton King was about 20 meters tall, he still appeared somewhat insignificant before the Demon Emperor's enormous hand.
The Demon Emperor's giant hand gripped the Skeleton King, then squeezed it down hard!
boom!
The Skeleton King shattered into pieces under the Demon Emperor's giant hand. Jiang Chen was so shocked that he could hardly breathe, and the transmission of soul energy in his hand also stopped instantly.
"How is this possible!" he muttered to himself, his face filled with disbelief.
"Scared, huh? Haha!" Suddenly, Antares's voice rang in his mind, tinged with a hint of mockery.
Jiang Chen was taken aback. How could Antares be here? He was somewhat bewildered.
“Don’t be stunned. I’m just attaching a wisp of my will to her,” Antares explained.
As Antares's voice rang out, a dazzling figure appeared in Jiang Chen's sight. In the air, a giant fire phoenix spread its wings and soared high, upon which stood a woman in red, her beauty unparalleled and beyond compare.
Jiang Ruo held two swords, stood on a fiery phoenix, and exuded an aura of power and heroic spirit.
"Phoenix Dances in the Nine Heavens!" With Jiang Ruo's clear and sweet shout, the fire phoenix, with a deafening cry, crashed into the Demon Emperor's giant palm like a burning meteor.
The Demon Emperor's giant hand recoiled violently from the impact of the fire phoenix, its entire palm enveloped in scorching flames. The fire phoenix's power was so great that it could burn the Demon Emperor.
At this moment, Jiang Chen noticed that his older sister, Jiang Ruo, had actually advanced to the ranks of god-level powerhouses. Such a cultivation speed was simply astonishing; reaching the god level in just three years was unprecedented in the history of the human race.
Jiang Chen didn't know if anyone in the previous era could achieve godhood within three years, but in this era, Jiang Ruo was undoubtedly unique. Jiang Ruo crossed her twin swords, flames raging around her, and she danced gracefully amidst the flames—a breathtakingly beautiful sight. A single glance was enough to captivate anyone, leaving them utterly mesmerized.
All the seductive arts of succubi paled in comparison to Jiang Ruo's charm.
"Dragon Flame Burns the Heavens!" Jiang Ruo shouted again, and a hundred-meter-long fire dragon immediately rose in the air, like a roaring giant dragon, and crashed hard into the Demon Emperor's giant palm.
The Demon Emperor's giant hand shrank again under the impact of the fire dragon, but then returned to its original state, as if all the attacks were just tickles to it.
Although Jiang Ruo's two skills seemed flashy and powerful, their actual effects were not as shocking as the Skeleton King's attack.
The Skeleton King's two attacks displayed astonishing power, completely exceeding Jiang Chen's expectations.
However, the fact that his absolute defense was broken in that final strike also shocked Jiang Chen. Nevertheless, Jiang Chen did not back down.
A few seconds later, a cold wind swept through the sky again, and the enormous skull throne reappeared like a ghost. The Skeleton King slowly rose from the throne, his imposing aura undiminished.
Although the Demon Emperor successfully killed the Skeleton King, the Skeleton King was actually composed of skeletons that hadn't died. Instead, they were reborn in the summoning queue and fully restored to their original state. Jiang Chen used them to summon the Skeleton King again.
The Skeleton King reappeared, and the "Strong Army" skill was still active, with over twenty seconds remaining. Everything that had happened before, from the Skeleton King's destruction to his re-summoning, had actually only taken two or three seconds.
The resummoned Skeleton King had all its skills refreshed. It once again swung its longsword, preparing to attack.
"Slay the Gods!"
"Elemental Chaos!"
Two powerful skills were unleashed once more, heading straight for the Demon Emperor's giant hand.
This time, the Demon Emperor's giant hand didn't passively endure the attack; instead, it actively reached out to grasp the Skeleton King. The skill struck the Demon Emperor's giant hand, widening the cracks and making it seem as if it might shatter at any moment.
The light of the Godslayer and the elemental chaos inflicted some substantial damage on the Demon Emperor's giant hand, but the Demon Emperor's power remained immense. The giant hand gripped the Skeleton King tightly, then tightened its hold.
The Skeleton King's entire body shimmered with light, a silver-gold hue—the effect of his "Absolute Defense" skill. However, even such defense proved incredibly fragile against the Demon Emperor's colossal hand.
With another loud bang, the Skeleton King was crushed into pieces once again.
Jiang Chen didn't give up. Taking advantage of the opportunity, he decisively connected a link of soul power to Jiang Ruo. A large amount of soul power was injected into Jiang Ruo's body, providing her with powerful support.
Jiang Ruo did not resist; she readily accepted Jiang Chen's help. However, Antares's voice rang out again: "It's useless. Your skills are so insignificant in the face of the Demon King's power."
Jiang Chen asked, puzzled, "Why?"
Antares explained, "This is the power of the law. No matter how strong your attributes are, or how high your defense is, even if it were increased tenfold, you still cannot contend with the power of the Demon Emperor. In the face of his law power, no matter how strong your skeleton's defense is, it will collapse instantly."
Antares's words filled Jiang Chen with despair; his previous tactics had become completely ineffective against an opponent like the Demon Emperor.
"I refuse to believe it!" Jiang Chen gritted his teeth and summoned the skeletons again, causing the Skeleton King to appear for the third time. This time, he also summoned the Undead Lich, using its aura of immortality to give the skeletons another chance to regenerate.
He would try one more time; if that didn't work, he would have no choice but to use the Law Crystal.
