The First Boss-Class Monster

Poison Emperor (Golden Boss): Attack 8800, Defense 8200, HP 38200/50000, MP 92800/100000, Skill: None, with Poison Attribute attack, Description: Super Puppet jointly created by the Mechanism Gate and the Five Poisons Sect, possessing extremely high attack, defense, and HP, approaching perfection.

Looking at the Poison Emperor's information, the astronomical data left Zhuge Xiang dumbfounded. Golden Boss? This was the first time Zhuge Xiang had encountered such a so-called boss. Clearly, this boss-level monster was much stronger than any Elite Monster.

With its high health, defense, and attack power, the Poison Emperor's stats are enough to demoralize any Qi Refining Stage Cultivator. Its Purple-Black beams are no less powerful than Spell attacks from the Deity Transformation stage. Faced with the Poison Emperor's incomparably strong stats, Zhuge Xiang felt at a loss as to how to proceed.

Having switched to the Azure Nether Blade, a true Treasure Artifact, its attack power far surpasses that of Azure Nether Blade Poisonous Flood Dragon Spear. Moreover, the Azure Nether Blade's special effects have automatically activated at this moment.

Azure Nether Blade (One-Star Treasure Artifact): Requires Return to Simplicity Realm cultivation, Attack +1520, Special Effect: For each target killed, you can obtain a Vengeful Spirits. When the Vengeful Soul Count reaches 1000, it can be released all at once. Each Vengeful Spirits can deal 10 points of true damage to the target. Durability 200200, Weight 25.

The Poisonous Flood Dragon Spear's attack power is only 900 points, while the Azure Nether Blade's attack power reaches a full 1520 points. Moreover, as the Azure Nether Blade is drawn, the Vengeful Soul Count in the special effect keeps increasing. It seems that the enemy targets killed on this Battlefield, due to the effects of team battles or group battles, are also being attributed to Zhuge Xiang, much like gaining experience.

Seeing the effects of the Azure Nether Blade, Zhuge Xiang's heart stirred slightly. The enemy numbered over 50,000. Although annihilating them all was impossible, if he went all out and utilized the Azure Nether Blade's special effects a few times, it wouldn't be a problem.

"Don't make a move! Lead your disciples and kill the enemy Cultivator first, regardless of their cultivation level," Zhuge Xiang said to Lu Yuling, Jing Wuming, Zhang Kuang, and the others, after observing the effects of the Azure Nether Blade.

Zhuge Xiang's decision to temporarily abandon the fight against the Poison Emperor surprised Lu Yuling and the others. However, Lu Yuling and Zhang Kuang knew Zhuge Xiang well and understood that he was not one to speak without reason. The battle situation was changing rapidly, so they didn't ask any more questions, nodded, turned around, and rushed towards the Cultivator of the Alliance.

"All Asura Sect Disciples! Follow us and kill!" Zhuge Xiang shouted, switching from the Poisonous Flood Dragon Spear to the Azure Nether Blade.

"Kill!" Zhuge Xiang shouted, and the Asura Sect Disciples, who had Human Heart under the Poison Emperor's attack, were suddenly invigorated and shouted fiercely.

Under the leadership of its high-ranking Cultivator and with Zhuge Xiang's instructions, the Asura Sect began to deal with the enemy's Lower-Level Cultivators. The Phoenix Winged Black Tiger mobilized the killing intent of the Ancient Qin Battlefield to form an attack. Although it was not enough to harm the enemy's Warships and the Poison Emperor, it was an irresistible and terrifying attack for the enemy Cultivator.

"What are the Asura Sect doing?" The Asura Sect's target of attack has shifted to targeting Lower-Level Cultivators, leaving the Alliance members somewhat bewildered. Is it really enough to win the war by eliminating these Lower-Level Cultivators on their side?

On the Asura Sect's side, the three Hall Masters were also secretly surprised. Seeing the Poison Emperor appear and unleash his terrifying attack, the three Hall Masters were extremely anxious. They were also puzzled by Zhuge Xiang's decision.

However, trusting Zhuge Xiang, both Xiao Xiao and Luo Wuxue advocated waiting and seeing what Zhuge Xiang and his disciples were planning.

In the sky, the Asura Warship did its best to protect itself, occasionally launching a few Spell attacks that severely injured the Cultivator on the ground. As for Zhuge Xiang and his group, they led the Asura Sect Disciples in a full-scale attack, resulting in screams and the killing of many Alliance Cultivators.

"Hmph, do you want to compete in killing speed? Then let's see if you can kill faster, or if I, the Poison Emperor, can kill faster..." Seeing Zhuge Xiang's actions, Tian Lingshan's eyes were filled with intense killing intent. She coldly shouted, showing no intention of stopping Zhuge Xiang, and instead controlled the Poison Emperor to launch a frenzied slaughter against the Asura Sect Disciples...

At this point, the war had reached a fever pitch. Zhuge Xiang and his men were killing thousands of Alliance Cultivators with all their might. Meanwhile, the Alliance was also launching a counterattack, and with the addition of the Poison Emperor's attack, the Asura Sect Disciples suffered even greater casualties.

Within the Battlefield, the land, spanning hundreds of miles, was stained Scarlet with blood. A palpable aura of killing intent and death permeated the air. War was like a gigantic meat grinder, where the vast majority of Cultivator would be slaughtered.

In the midst of the battle, Zhuge Xiang diverted some of his attention to his Azure Nether Blade, and the Vengeful Soul Count within it increased rapidly.

One hundred... five hundred... eight hundred...

"Ding! The Vengeful Soul Count has reached the limit of 1,000! They can be released at any time." In the short time it takes to drink half Half a Tea Interval of tea, the Asura Sect had already killed 1,000 enemy Cultivator. On Battlefield of 100,000 people, killing 1,000 of the enemy did not take much time at all.

Call...

Just then, with Mechanical System Prompt, Zhuge Xiang's Phoenix Feather Wings flapped, and he raised the Azure Nether Blade high in his hand, flying towards the Poison Emperor. With a slash in mid-air, a blood-red Blade Qi appeared and slashed towards the Poison Emperor.

"What is he doing?" Zhuge Xiang suddenly turned around and launched an attack on the Poison Emperor, surprising the Asura Sect Disciple. Did he intend to shatter the Poison Emperor single-handedly?

"Haha, Zhuge Xiang, nothing more than that, so naive," the Alliance Cultivators scoffed at Zhuge Xiang's actions. Just now, Zhuge Xiang and his three companions had been attacking the Poison Emperor relentlessly for so long with little effect, and now he was attacking the Poison Emperor alone?

"Firefly's light, I don't have time for you right now. I'll deal with you after the Asura Sect members are all dead..." Above the Poison Emperor's head, Tian Lingshan glanced sideways at Zhuge Xiang's Blade Qi, not caring about it, and sneered inwardly.

Unlike the doubts in the eyes of others, Lu Yuling, Zhang Kuang, and those in the crowd who had known Zhuge Xiang for a long time, such as Niu Geng and Zi Xiang, had eyes full of anticipation. Because they understood Zhuge Xiang, they knew he wasn't the type to engage in empty rhetoric or do pointless work. But why was Zhuge Xiang doing this? What was the deeper meaning behind this strike? These people were filled with anticipation.

Squeak...

At that very moment, a Bronze Gate suddenly opened in the Void, and with it, a wisp of half-ethereal, Vengeful Spirits emerged from it, merging into the crimson Blade Qi like a swallow returning to its Bronze Gate.

As the first Vengeful Spirits appeared, followed by the second and the third, in an instant, hundreds and thousands of Vengeful Spirits, like a swarm of locusts crossing a river, swept across the sky. At this moment, the entire Ancient Qin Battlefield seemed to have become a place of the Ghost Realm.

"So many Vengeful Spirits? What's going on?" Looking at the countless Vengeful Spirits flying in the sky, at this moment, almost everyone on the Battlefield was drawn to this scene. Hundreds and thousands of Vengeful Spirits were flying around, and it was impossible to ignore them.

A thousand Vengeful Spirits appeared, like swallows returning to their nests, all rushing into the blood-red Blade Qi unleashed by Zhuge Xiang. After absorbing the previous Vengeful Spirits, the originally blood-red Blade Qi turned black, a black filled with the aura of death.

"Shatter!" Tian Lingshan also sensed the unusual nature of the black Blade Qi and dared not ignore it any longer. Controlling the Poison Emperor, she raised its massive tiger claw and slammed it towards the black Blade Qi. The blade on the Poison Emperor's tiger claw gleamed with a chilling light, and it was imbued with Silver Sea Black Gold, which had a restraining effect on these energy attributes.

The enormous tiger claws and the Blade Qi unleashed by Zhuge Xiang appeared minuscule in comparison; it was an asymmetrical confrontation.

Bang!

The black Blade Qi collided with the Poison Emperor's tiger claw, producing a loud bang. As expected of a blade infused with Silver Sea Black Gold, it easily tore apart Zhuge Xiang's black Blade Qi.

"Hmph, nothing special. I thought you could..." Seeing Zhuge Xiang's black Blade Qi easily torn apart by the Poison Emperor, Tian Lingshan shook her head with a smug look on her face. However, before she could finish speaking, her expression changed drastically.

The shattered black Blade Qi did not disappear; instead, it transformed into Vengeful Spirits and reappeared, rushing towards the Poison Emperor.

"Get lost!" Tian Lingshan was horrified as she watched the Vengeful Spirits rushing towards her. She controlled the Poison Emperor and shot out a beam of Purple-Black light. However, the formless and intangible Vengeful Spirits was not harmed and passed directly through the Poison Emperor's body.

One... two... one hundred... two hundred...

One by one, the Vengeful Spirits rushed through the Poison Emperor's body. If there were only a few, it wouldn't be noticeable, but a thousand of them, each Vengeful Spirits 10 points of true damage to the target, would amount to a terrifying 10,000 points of damage. After passing through the Poison Emperor, the Vengeful Spirits dissipated with the wind and vanished without a trace. At the same time, the Bronze Giant Gate in mid-air closed and disappeared.

What is true damage? It's damage that ignores defense and all effects; it's the most fundamental type of damage. Regardless of defense or any other situation, a thousand Vengeful Spirits will deal 10,000 points of damage. That will never change, not a bit more, not a bit less.

Kerala...

10,000 points of damage is not easy for even the Poison Emperor with his abundant health to withstand. A series of crisp cracking sounds rang out, and several deep cracks appeared on the Poison Emperor's body in an instant. His HP of 38,000 dropped directly to 28,000.

"Everyone! Again! I can extract the souls of all those you kill and use them for my own purposes! Kill another three thousand local Cultivator and I will be able to slay this Poison Emperor!" Upon seeing the Poison Emperor's information, his HP dropped by 10,000, realizing that his thoughts were correct, Zhuge Xiang shouted loudly, his voice echoing throughout the entire Ancient Qin Battlefield.

Zhuge Xiang's words plunged the entire Battlefield into a brief silence, followed by a thunderous response from the Asura Sect Disciple.

The scene of Zhuge Xiang's single strike, which unleashed One Thousand Wraiths and possessed terrifying destructive power, shocked everyone. Now, they understood Zhuge Xiang's meaning; those Vengeful Spirits were all opponents he had slain. (To be continued...)
