The moment Lu Chen saw the panel, a sense of disappointment welled up in his heart.
It wasn't a Boss.
He had gotten his hopes up for nothing.
However, the Shadow Nightmare Beast King was the highest-level creature Lu Chen had ever seen.
It was a full 14th tier.
After killing this thing, he would definitely get a lot of Life Energy, right?
The disappointment in Lu Chen's eyes did not escape the Shadow Nightmare Beast King's notice.
It immediately let out a deafening roar, its anger palpable.
It couldn't understand.
Why would the appearance of its noble Beast King cause such disappointment in this insignificant, worm-like creature before him?
Was he questioning its strength?
How utterly ridiculous!
Today,
it would let this low-tier ant personally experience the terrifying power of a 14th-tier expert!
The Shadow Nightmare Beast King's massive body suddenly sank, instantly merging into the surrounding shadows.
Immediately after, in the next second, it abruptly appeared in front of Lu Chen.
(C-level skill - Shadow Shuttle!)
...
The moment the Shadow Nightmare Beast King appeared, a gasp of surprise suddenly rang out in the sky.
"A 14th-tier Shadow Nightmare Beast King?!"
Yun Ting's face instantly changed dramatically. "How could there be a 14th-tier Shadow Nightmare Beast King hidden within the Seal Altar???"
Recalling the last time the Storm Wing Clan attacked the Seal Altar,
they only encountered ordinary ninth-tier Shadow Nightmare Beasts.
They never expected,
that such a terrifying Shadow Nightmare Beast King was also hidden among the Shadow Nightmare Beast horde!
If this Shadow Nightmare Beast King had appeared on the battlefield back then, the Storm Wing Clan would have likely suffered a devastating disaster.
Thinking of this, a chill couldn't help but rise in Yun Ting's heart.
However,
when he saw the once majestic Jack,
after taking a blow from the Shadow Nightmare Beast King, slowly sliding down the statue like a pile of mud,
a hint of despair flashed in his eyes.
"It's over... The Shadow Nightmare Beast King has appeared, this Human will probably not escape this calamity. When can we, the Storm Wing Clan, unseal the Altar and find a turning point!"
Prophet Feng Lie also shook his head helplessly.
Clearly, he no longer held any hope for Lu Chen.
7th tier against 14th tier, the gap was like a chasm.
Moreover,
fierce beasts after the 10th tier would experience a qualitative leap in strength. Although this Human had some ability,
his tier was too low.
Ultimately, he was too reckless.
This Seal Altar,
only experts above the tenth tier were qualified to challenge.
Just as the Storm Wing Clan in the sky sighed in unison,
the Shadow Nightmare Beast King's sharp claws, shimmering with a cold light,
suddenly tore through the air,
accompanied by a deafening roar,
fiercely pouncing towards Lu Chen!
Seeing the Shadow Nightmare Beast King instantly appear before him,
Lu Chen's eyes flashed with brilliant light.
"Instantaneous Movement? That's somewhat interesting!"
Before he finished speaking,
he took a step back with his right foot.
His body was as steady as a rock.
His entire body's muscles instantly tensed, like cast steel.
On his arms, rock patterns appeared, and Mountain Strength surged forth with a roar.
Accompanied by a low rumble,
an invisible shockwave surged outwards from him.
(B-level Talent - Mountain Strength!)
Just as the Shadow Nightmare Beast King's sharp claws, carrying destructive power,
fiercely grabbed towards him,
Lu Chen's arms suddenly vibrated.
He actually managed to firmly catch that terrifying claw, capable of tearing space, head-on!
Between the two, power collided, and the air seemed to be torn apart,
emitting a piercing shriek.
And Lu Chen, his body remained motionless,
his feet firmly rooted to the ground,
as if integrated with the entire mountain range.
The fierce light in the Shadow Nightmare Beast King's eyes suddenly froze, then turned into astonishment.
How was this possible?
How could this mere seventh-tier little thing have such astonishing power?
I am a 14th-tier overlord, aren't I?
Is this a joke?
However,
before the Shadow Nightmare Beast King could react,
a red light surged from Lu Chen's body,
Power Super-Enhancement instantly activated!
Immediately after,
the Shadow Nightmare Beast King felt an unprecedentedly terrifying immense force surge towards it.
It used all its strength, but couldn't resist in the slightest.
It was actually grabbed by its claws by this seventh-tier Human, lifted up, and swung around in the air.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
The wind howled.
Lu Chen's arms rotated, and the speed became faster and faster.
Finally, with a sudden throw,
"Go!"
"Roar!"
The Shadow Nightmare Beast King felt the world spin,
as if it had returned to its weak and helpless Juvenile stage .
Its heart was filled with powerlessness and despair...
"Boom!"
With a loud crash,
its massive body heavily struck the giant tentacle statue.
Then, like a giant boulder losing support,
just like Jack before it, it slowly slid down.
The Shadow Nightmare Beast King and Jack,
one large, one small, two bodies,
limply, in a comical posture, slowly slid down the statue.
The scene was unusually bizarre and slightly humorous.
In the sky,
the Storm Wing Clan's previous lamentations instantly vanished.
There was a complete silence.
Everyone had a dumbfounded expression.
The scene just now was too shocking,
making all the Winged People unable to recover for a moment.
The scene was like a roaring train crashing heavily into a light leaf.
As a result,
the train flipped over...
And if it had just flipped, that would be one thing.
But this leaf also grabbed the train and swung it around before throwing it.
Who the hell would believe this???
...
"Huh? Why did you come to keep me company too?"
Jack, who was sliding down the statue, looked up.
He found that the Shadow Nightmare Beast King, who had just sent him flying, was also stuck next to him.
He was instantly stunned.
However,
the Shadow Nightmare Beast King had no time to bother with Jack.
Its eyes were filled with terror.
After whimpering, it instantly disappeared into the shadows.
This Human was too terrifying.
It didn't want to fight anymore...
"Trying to escape?"
Lu Chen snorted coldly.
His Auditory Perception and Super-Enhanced Sense of Smell instantly erupted completely,
concentrating fully, like a cheetah hunting its prey.
In an instant,
a gray-white light flashed in Lu Chen's eyes.
Immediately after,
the Shadow Nightmare Beast King, which was fleeing hidden in the shadows, was instantly turned into a cage of gray-white stone,
revealing it completely.
"Creak, creak, creak!"
"Roar!"
The Shadow Nightmare Beast King roared in despair.
Watching its body gradually turn into gray-white stone,
its heart was filled with confusion.
Its tier was clearly higher than that Human's,
why was it still beaten like this?
This didn't make sense!
Under the Shadow Nightmare Beast King's despairing gaze,
Lu Chen gripped the Heart-Corroding Blade tightly in his right hand, holding it horizontally across his chest.
He stomped his right foot on the ground.
His body shot out like lightning.
Immediately after, a chilling black blade light cut through the air.
Blood splattered.
The Shadow Nightmare Beast King's massive head fell to the ground in response,
emitting a dull and resonant thud.
【Ding, you have killed the Shadow Nightmare Beast King (14th tier), gaining 24000 points of Life Energy.】
Accompanied by the heaven's oracle's prompt,
a surge of vast Life Energy poured out from the Shadow Nightmare Beast King's body,
and was then absorbed by Lu Chen.
【Level: 7 (12000/40000)】
Little dumpling's level also reached three.
【Level: 3 (16380/40000)】
"Guji guji~"
Little dumpling, who had absorbed a large amount of Life Energy, happily rolled around in the backpack.
