The fourth passage marked the fourth stage.
Lin Moyu estimated the strength of the lightning he was about to face.
The mont he stepped into the passage, a bolt of lightning exploded silently before him.
His Bone Armor shattered instantly, offering no resistance.
A massive surge of lightning elent swept toward him, and a faint mbrane flickered across his skin.
Passive Skill: Damage Transfer!
80% of the lightning elental damage was nullified. The remaining 20% was reduced further by the Elental Resistance skill, then spread evenly across his undead army.
The damage each skeleton received was minimal.
Lin Moyu was confident that even a God-level powerhouse wouldn’t be able to handle this as well as he could.
“The damage really doubled. My guess was right.”
“Each increase builds by 10% over the last. It was 60% before… now it's 100%.”
Despite the doubled attack power, Lin Moyu still found it bearable.
Where he previously needed to rest every 2,000 ters, he now paused every 1,500. A slight drop in efficiency.
Lin Moyu looked up, and a strange expression appear don his face, “Why is there only one star?”
He had expected four. Instead, there was just one—larger, brighter.
Lin Moyu’s expression darkened, “Don’t tell the boss’s rank has increased, from ordinary to lord rank?”
A headache set in. He would have preferred four ordinary bosses over this.
After all, a level 80 lord rank boss was on par with a level 88 ordinary boss.
At that mont, Lin Moyu glanced back.
“It’s gone!” His expression darkened.
The path behind him had vanished. In its place was a blank void. There was no retreat.
He imdiately checked his items.
All teleportation items were disabled, except for the Abyssal Teleportation Stone.
This wasn’t a secret realm or dungeon, so advanced escape scrolls were already useless here.
At this point, even Random Teleportation Scrolls were unusable.
Lin Moyu finally understood why peak-level powerhouses had fallen here, and why this place had been marked as a high rank danger zone.
But a place where a peak-level powerhouse fall wasn’t necessarily simply a high rank danger zone.
At least, this place wasn’t. According to Lin Moyu’s estimation, the peak-level powerhouses who entered the Lightning Burial Canyon had two outcos.
They either turned back before completing the first three paths, or stepped into the fourth and never returned.
Once you entered the fourth passage, there was no turning back. The only option was to press forward to the end.
This wasn’t like the Divine Selection Secret Realm, where trials were asured and safety was assured.
The Lightning Canyon was incredibly dangerous, far beyond what anyone could have expected.
Lin Moyu had reached the point of no return. He could only continue onward.
Braving the relentless lightning, he pushed on.
Until the star fell from the sky.
And from within the crashing starlight, a massive Thunderlight Beast erupted forth, charging straight at him.
Lin Moyu didn’t even need Detection to identify it. This was a lord rank Thunderlight Beast.
Ordinary Thunderlight Beasts stood around five ters tall. This one, crouching, already exceeded ten.
Compared to it, ordinary Thunderlight Beasts were midgets.
And the Skeletal Berserk Warriors, barely two ters tall, looked like ants before a colossus.
The mont it appeared, the Thunderlight Beast lunged forward, as fast as lightning.
But Lin Moyu was ready.
Just as the star fell, he had already unleashed his undead army.
The Skeletal Berserk Warriors surged ahead, lightning exploding across their bony fras with every step.
In the read, the Lich Generals began casting Legion Heal.
Facing a lord rank Thunderlight Beast, Lin Moyu didn’t dare be careless.
He summoned all his Elental Liches, except for the Lightning Lich.
Glowing rings of light ford beneath his skeletons, boosting their speed and defense.
The Thunderlight Beast, in the anti, was hit with simultaneous status effects: frozen and poisoned.
Red, green, and white flares burst as Deterioration Curse, Poison Starburst, and Bone Prison descended on the Thunderlight Beast one after another.
Though Bone Prison couldn’t stop its self-destruction, it could interrupt its charge, and that was enough.
The Skeletal Berserk Warriors closed in, surrounding the creature.
At the sa ti, the Skeletal Great Mages and Skeletal Marksn pulled back through the lightning, widening the distance.
If the explosion was too powerful, it could disrupt his Comprehensive Link talent, instantly killing the Skeletal Berserk Warriors.
By keeping the Skeletal Great Mages and Skeletal Marksn out of range, he minimized the losses.
At this point, Lin Moyu no longer sought a flawless victory.
As long as he could win, Lin Moyu was prepared to pay the price.
He flicked his finger, activating Detection.
He already knew that it was a lord rank boss, but he still wanted to see the full picture.
[Thunderlight Great Beast (lord rank boss)]
[Level: 80
[Strength: 800,000]
[Agility: 800,000]
[Spirit: 600,000]
[Physique: 700,000]
[Skill: Lightning Absorption (passive), Thunderlight Blast]
[Trait: Lightning Elental Immunity, Grows Stronger by Absorbing Lightning, Enhanced Health, Enhanced Strength, Enhanced Speed]
Aside from its attributes, the rest was nearly identical to an ordinary Thunderlight Beast.
As a level 80 lord rank boss, the Thunderlight Great Beast possessed a total attributes of 2.9 million, compared to just 1.6 million for an ordinary Thunderlight Beast.
The 1.3 million gap spelled out a vast disparity in combat power.
Though the attributes weren't quite double, it was enough for the Thunderlight Great Beast to take on three or even more ordinary Thunderlight Beasts by itself.
After reviewing its attributes, Lin Moyu glanced at the Primordial Rune on the back of his hand.
He considered using the skill for a mont but ultimately decided against it.
It wasn’t the right ti yet. But if he kept pushing forward, he knew he’d have to use it eventually, and perhaps even rely on his other trump cards as well.
Against the overwhelming attack power of the lord rank Thunderlight Great Beast, the Skeletal Berserk Warriors appeared fragile. Each of its strikes sent scores of them flying.
Fortunately, there were enough Skeletal Berserk Warriors, and the Lich Generals' healing was rapid and relentless.
Every ti the skeletons were knocked back, they sprang to their feet and charged again, as if nothing had happened.
Over 10,000 Skeletal Berserk Warriors surrounded the Thunderlight Great Beast, smothering it under a relentless tide of bone. It had no chance to break free.
From a distance, the Skeletal Great Mages and Skeletal Marksn bombarded the boss nonstop, spells and arrows raining down without pause.
Lin Moyu observed silently, his gaze flickering, “The fifth stage should have two lord rank bosses.”
“The sixth, probably three.”
“The seventh… will there be a world rank Thunderlight Beast? Hopefully it’s level isn’t too high.”
Encircled by the undead army, the Thunderlight Great Beast was nearing death. Its massive body began to glow.
Killing it wasn’t the hard part. The real danger ca now.
Aside from the Skeletal Berserk Warriors, Lin Moyu had the rest of the undead forces retreat over a thousand ters.
But even then, he wasn’t sure it was far enough. He had no idea how wide the blast radius of the lord rank boss’s self-destruction might be.
A blinding burst of lightning exploded across the battlefield, forcing Lin Moyu to shut his eyes.
The Lightning Burial Canyon remained completely silent, even now.
No matter how fierce the battle, it played out like a silent film.
With his eyes closed, Lin Moyu couldn’t see anything.
But in his mind, feedback poured in from the Skeletal Berserk Warriors.
One after another, they were lted in the storm of lightning.
The Thunderlight Great Beast’s detonation had a blast radius of nearly 500 ters, considerably greater than that of ordinary Thunderlight Beasts.
Its power was in a league of its own.
The raging lightning, capable of instantly killing the Skeletal Berserk Warriors, rendered his Comprehensive Link talent completely useless.
The Undying Ring skill revived the Skeletal Berserk Warriors. But in less than 0.1 seconds, they were annihilated again.
In essence, Undying Ring had lost its effect.
The self-destruction wiped out over 3,000 Skeletal Berserk Warriors.
Lin Moyu let out a quiet sigh of relief.
Thankfully, he had ordered a retreat ahead of ti. Otherwise, the losses would have been far worse.
With the lord rank Thunderlight Great Beast finally defeated, Lin Moyu took a deep breath.
Regardless of anything, he now understood how its detonation worked.
In the next stage, he’d be ready.
Lin Moyu pressed forward, summoning new Skeletal Berserk Warriors along the way to replenish his forces.
Once he had a clear grasp of the situation, the following stages beca significantly easier.
The fifth and sixth stages played out exactly as he had predicted.
First ca two Thunderlight Great Beasts, then three.
He dispatched them all with little difficulty.
Half a day later, he stood before the entrance to the seventh stage.
Looking at the four paths ahead, Lin Moyu took a deep breath, “The next part will be a tough one.”
