Clearance!!!

What's wrong?!

Luo Jun was startled and rushed forward to help Golden Edge Witch up. He then noticed that Black Spot and scales were also starting to appear on her neck!

The pollution is getting worse!

As she said, in this fifth layer where all enhancements were stripped away, her ability to resist pollution was also greatly weakened. If it weren't for this mask with anti-pollution function, she would have mutated completely long ago.

Clearly, after more than ninety days of fighting, the Golden Edge Witch could no longer hold on and was about to cross that final boundary.

"Hold on!"

Luo Jun carefully placed her down. Although this woman had a somewhat eccentric temper, without the experience she provided, he wouldn't have been able to find a way to deal with the Advanced Demon Statue so quickly... Besides, she had indeed tried to save him in Ningdong before, and although she hadn't succeeded, she was still a good person.

The only way to save her is to get through this ordeal as soon as possible. Once her stolen abilities are restored, she should be able to fight off the pollution more effectively!

Luo Jun leaped into the arena, watching the enormous golem gradually stretch its body.

This time, instead of taking advantage of the terrain at the edge of the arena, he rushed directly to the center and launched an attack before the golem could fully transform.

The golem had just stretched out its limbs and hadn't even gripped its giant axe when Luo Jun suddenly attacked its calf. It lost its balance and fell flat on its face, its Demon Horn deformed from the impact...

Luo Jun skillfully adjusted it onto his head and began to disassemble it with great effort.

After so many attempts, he was extremely familiar with the process of dismantling the Demon Horn, and there was no need to waste dice rolls.

With a few quick twists, the Demon Horn snapped off, and the golem stood up completely, swinging its axe in a sweeping attack.

After his agility exceeded 100 and he underwent two more levels of attribute enhancement, Luo Jun's movements were now extremely agile. Coupled with the muscle memory formed from countless battles over the past two days, dodging was now quite easy. While dodging the attacks of the Advanced Demon Statue, he widened his eyes and carefully observed the flow of energy on its body.

Nodes... Nodes... Understanding the location of nodes can help increase the success rate!

I saw it!

Luo Jun seized an opportunity.

"The Paralyze Golem!"

"Ding! Event Difficulty: 98 points; Final Points: 10 + 5 points; Event Failed!"

Despite the failed judgment, the event still had to be carried out. Luo Jun swung his Demon Horn at the golem, but he didn't use his full strength. He merely grazed the armor before immediately withdrawing it, thus dodging the golem's attack and looking for a second chance!

"The Paralyze Golem!"

"Ding! Event Difficulty: 98 points; Final Points: 52 + 5 points; Event Failed!"

Use the Demon Horn to poke the node again, then look for a third chance!

"The Paralyze Golem!"

"Ding! Event Difficulty: 99 points; Final Points: 93 + 5 points; Event Failed!"

He cursed inwardly, realizing he hadn't found the right angle this time, which increased the difficulty; otherwise, he would have succeeded!

That's right, this is Luo Jun's plan: to use the Mission System to gain a large number of attempts and then repeatedly challenge the Paralyze Golem! Thanks to the Beginner Point Correction, even with such a low probability event, Luo Jun's success rate for each challenge is 7% to 8%. As long as he has enough attempts, he will eventually succeed!

With fifteen chances, the probability of failing all of them should only be around 30%... If there are ten consecutive failures, Luo Jun will activate the Intermediate Point Correction to further increase the success rate. Taking all factors into account, the probability of failure will be reduced to below 20%!

If we also consider the level 7 luck, the failure rate will be even lower!

Luo Jun decided to take a gamble!

"Ding! Event Difficulty: 98 points; Final Points: 54 + 5 points; Event Failed!"

"Ding! Event Difficulty: 98 points; Final Points: 20 + 5 points; Event Failed!"

"Ding! Event Difficulty: 98 points; Final Points: 91 + 5 points; Event Failed!"

"Ding! Event Difficulty: 98 points; Final Points: 27 + 5 points; Event Failed!"

"Ding! Event Difficulty: 99 points; Final Points: 97 + 5 points; Event Success!"

It's done!

On his eighth attempt, Luo Jun finally succeeded!

Good!

With his confidence soaring, Luo Jun found the right angle, held the Demon Horn, and plunged it into the faintly visible node in his field of vision!

This time it wasn't a feint; they held nothing back and went all out!

Sizzle sizzle...

With a sickening metallic scraping sound, Luo Jun inserted the entire Demon Horn into the gap in the armor on the lower back of the golem, accurately hitting the flowing energy node!

The instant the node was broken, the energy flowing through the golem suddenly became disordered, its body began to tremble unnaturally, and a few seconds later, it fell backward, face up...

Luo Jun breathed a sigh of relief. Next, he just needed to break through the armor and destroy the core!

Reaching the top of the golem's head, Luo Jun noticed that the other Demon Horn had bent during the first fall. He quickly twisted it off and began working on the golem's chest.

The chest armor was particularly thick, making it very difficult to pry open even with the Demon Horn. Luo Jun tried for a long time to find a weak point, but could only deform the chest armor; he couldn't completely pry it open...

Just as he was preparing for a protracted battle, Luo Jun suddenly noticed that the chaotic energy within the golem was beginning to slowly dissipate...

Is paralysis not permanent? Can it be reversed?

Realizing this, Luo Jun broke out in a cold sweat. If he couldn't kill this golem quickly, all his previous efforts would be in vain!

It would be too difficult to take it down with just the Demon Horn... Luo Jun looked around, and finally his eyes fell on the giant axe that had fallen beside the golem.

He rushed over, trying to lift the enormous weapon, which was nearly four meters long, but found it extremely heavy.

Good heavens, this thing weighs at least a ton. Even if Luo Jun has dozens of times the strength of an ordinary person, he still wouldn't be able to use it.

But looking at those incredibly sharp axe blades and pickaxe tips, their power is definitely much stronger than the Demon Horn!

Without even thinking about swinging it, Luo Jun mustered all his strength, stood the Great Axe upright on the field, aimed the pointed end of the pickaxe at the golem's chest, and then chopped it down with all his might!

This weapon was far too large and heavy for Luo Jun. His posture was more like pushing than chopping. Luo Jun's main role was to hold the end of the axe handle in place so that the pickaxe tip would not miss its target when it struck!

"Destroy Core!"

"Ding! Event Difficulty 100, Final Points 84 + 15, Event Failed!"

Is 100 points really that difficult?

Surprised by the extreme difficulty of Destroy Core, Luo Jun was terrified, but the axe had already fallen, accompanied by a loud bang, and a dent was clearly visible in the golem's chest!

Again!

Seeing that the energy on the golem was slowly gathering again, Luo Jun raised his axe once more and chopped down fiercely!

"Ding! Event Difficulty 93, Final Points 9 + 15 points, Event Failed!"

This hint startled Luo Jun; the difficulty had actually decreased? But upon seeing the dent in the golem's chest, he immediately realized that although he couldn't break through the armor in one hit, each attack was effective, and the success rate would increase over time!

With five chances and one Intermediate Point Correction, Luo Jun estimated the speed of energy regeneration and decided to try armor penetration first, without using the dice.

With each swing of the axe and each powerful downward chop, the golem's thick chest armor was severely deformed and even cracked!

"That's about it!"

"Break Chest Armor!"

"Ding. Event Difficulty 55 points, Final Points 62 + 5 points, Event Success!"

Good!

Luo Jun changed the dice roll's outcome, lowering the difficulty and proceeding gradually, and he succeeded!

As the giant axe fell, the pickaxe tip finally pierced through the golem's breastplate and lodged itself in the golem's chest!

But it was still too shallow, not reaching the core. Luo Jun tried to stand the axe up again, only to find the pickaxe tip stuck in the breastplate.

He frowned, grabbed the end of the axe handle parallel to the ground, and, like pulling a millstone, pushed it around the golem half a circle. By rotating and leveraging the axe, he widened the wound on the golem's chest and finally managed to pull out the pickaxe tip.

Looking down, the gleaming energy core was almost exposed right in front of him.

I poked it a few times with the Demon Horn; it's very hard and difficult to break.

We still need an axe!

Seeing that his vital energy was being processed more and more smoothly, Luo Jun took a deep breath and once again raised his giant axe and brought it down!

"Shatter Core!"

"Ding! Event Difficulty: 72 points; Final Points: 44 + 5 points; Event Failed!"

The axe fell, slightly off-center, grazing the core and leaving a wound, but it failed to destroy it.

"Again!"

"Ding! Event Difficulty: 69 points; Final Points: 19 + 5 points; Event Failed!"

Clang! The core was sparked by the pickaxe tip and deformed slightly, but it was still not destroyed.

"Again!"

"Ding! Event Difficulty: 63 points; Final Points: 21 + 5 points; Event Failed!"

Seriously? Such bad luck?

The core was hit again, but it remained undamaged!

By this time, the golem's energy had been mostly restored, and its fingertips had begun to move slightly...

With only one chance left, Luo Jun raised his axe with all his might, used the Intermediate Modification, and silently prayed: Buddha, God Supreme Lord Lao, and the old man in my dream, please show your power and help me!

"Ding. Event Difficulty 59 points, Final Points 65 + 15 points, Event Success!"

It's done!!

Luo Jun pushed the giant axe over with all his might, and the pickaxe tip accurately struck the core, piercing straight in!

"Sizzle sizzle!"

The light of vital energy flickered wildly, and the golem, which had just shown signs of revival, trembled violently. After struggling for several seconds, it finally fell silent...

At this moment, Luo Jun, exhausted from the series of actions, sat on the ground, panting heavily. Suddenly, he felt a strange sensation in his palm. Looking down, he saw that the ground he was sitting on began to change, and two lines of large characters appeared.

"Fifth level trial successfully completed!"

"Congratulations! You have completed all the trials. You are a truly Outstanding Warrior and will receive Power of Excellence and the blessings of the Supreme God."

The moment those two lines of large characters appeared, Luo Jun felt the scene before him Blur, and a moment later, he was teleported to an unfamiliar, enclosed space.

The style here is very similar to the Trial Grounds on the upper floors. The surrounding walls are carved with exquisite murals, and in the very center of the room is a sacred and solemn altar, with an ancient statue standing in the center of the altar. In front of the statue is an exquisite box.

That's the Clearance Reward?

Luo Jun slowly walked up...
