Chapter 172
Immediately afterwards, the tremors intensified, gradually spreading to the entire lake, even causing the crescent moon in the sky to tremble.
"Boom... boom boom..."
A deafening roar continued, and huge waves tens of meters high surged in the center of the lake, seemingly capable of swallowing everything.
The platform beneath their feet swayed like duckweed on water, and several lords' troops lost their footing and fell off.
Of course, none of this has anything to do with Shen Xing.
He was sitting leisurely on the back of the Fried Chicken, observing his surroundings.
Meanwhile, in the center of the lake, the water level began to drop sharply.
It was as if an underground leak had appeared, and endless lake water was pouring into it.
In the blink of an eye, a huge vortex with a diameter of more than two kilometers was formed.
"Splash... splash..."
The vortex possessed immense gravitational pull, as if anyone who got too close would be swallowed up.
At this moment, the system notification rang again in the ears of all the top 100 lords.
[Attention all challengers, the Rain God Illusory Realm Challenge has officially begun!]
[The total time for this challenge is 60 minutes. You need to kill as many Rain God Avatar as possible and deal as much damage as possible within the time limit.]
[As the Rain God Avatar's total health continues to decrease, it will enter different stages at 70%/40%/10%, with the challenge gradually increasing in difficulty.]
[If the Rain God Avatar is not defeated within 60 minutes, the player will enter a berserk state, wiping out all challengers.]
[These are all the rules for this challenge.]
[The challenge now officially begins.]
When the prompt ends, a blue progress bar appears in front of all challengers.
[Rain God Avatar: 100%]
Immediately afterwards, pure water droplets suddenly rose from the huge whirlpool.
The water droplets were flawless and crystal clear, containing not a single impurity, as they splashed outwards.
"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!"
Hundreds and thousands of water droplets shot out in all directions, creating a series of whooshing sounds.
One of them even flew straight towards Shen Xing!
He sensed the powerful aura contained within it, and his expression turned slightly serious.
"Ready, defensive stance!"
At the lord's command, Hellscream, Gorehowl, Xiao Hei, and Da Hou all stepped forward.
The Big Demon and Black Arrow stood at the back of the group.
Leina, wielding a longsword, moved to the side to provide support.
"Pop! Pop pop pop pop!"
Each droplet of water landed on one of the platforms and then burst open.
In an instant, they transformed into humanoid creatures wielding swords, spears, shields, zithers, harps, and flutes, all exuding a powerful aura.
However, these humanoid creatures' bodies are made of water, are transparent, and have no facial features.
In front of Shen Xing was a figure holding a transparent umbrella.
[Rain God Avatar - Curtain]
[Level: 19]
[Potential: Boss ★]
[Attributes: Strength 842, Spirit 984, Agility 748, Constitution 892]
[Skills: Umbrella Spear, Umbrella Shield, Falling Rain Whirl, Thousand Wheel Dance, Bead Curtains Fill the Sky]
[Talent: Rain God's Body (can quickly repair injuries by absorbing Water Elemental)]
"It's actually a level 19 Boss creature, a peak junior high student, a terrifying existence on the verge of high school!"
Shen Xing was secretly startled, then quickly looked at the platform not far away.
There was also a lord there, leading his troops to surround another Rain God Avatar wielding a long spear.
[Rain God Avatar - Rain Cliff]
[Level: 19]
[Potential: Boss ★]
[Attributes: Strength 977, Spirit 852, Agility 931, Constitution 874]
[Skills: Spear Rain, Drizzling Rain Consecutive Spears Torrential Rain Pierce, Roaming Dragon, Startling Dragon Spear]
[Talent: Rain God's Body]
"So that's how it is. The Rain God Avatar; these water droplets are all Rain God Avatar."
Shen Xing nodded in realization. "That does fit the characteristics of this deity quite well."
"The Rain God, of course, is related to water."
"All the water in the world Rain God Avatar, and all contains the Rain God's will. Isn't this a kind of otherworldly freedom?"
As for why he was able to view the attributes of the Rain God Avatar despite only being at the Tier One, it's probably because this is the Rain God Illusory Realm.
The system granted these privileges to accommodate the lords.
"Whoosh..."
Before Shen Xing could think further, the Rain God Avatar holding an umbrella had already attacked them.
The umbrella spun gently, like a blooming white lotus, splashing water droplets everywhere.
Each water droplet contains immense destructive power.
"Xiao Hei, Gorehowl, charge straight in!"
"Hellscream! Da Hou! Leina, attack from the flank!"
"Big Demon, Black Arrow, Fried Chicken, go all out!"
Shen Xing quickly issued the order.
Upon hearing this, the eight Transcendent Rank experts instantly pounced on the Rain God Avatar like tigers released from their cages.
"Puff! Puff puff puff!"
Water droplets shot out, hitting Gorehowl and Xiao Hei, the two knights at the forefront, with their bodies instantly riddled with countless bloody holes. Anyone with trypophobia would probably jump in fright at the sight.
"Death... grants me eternal life..."
The voice beneath the Xiao Hei mask was deep. He raised his right hand and released a large amount of grayish-white energy, enveloping himself and Gorehowl.
The injuries on both of them healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Not only that, he raised his longsword, and the black crescent moon above his head spun around, unleashing a vast power that formed a shield on the surface of Xiao Hei.
Those water droplets, which contained destructive power, only caused ripples when they hit the shield.
Xiao Hei accelerated instantly, rushing towards the Rain God Avatar, his longsword slashing out in afterimages.
Gorehowl, wielding a burning greatsword, followed closely behind, flanking the Rain God Avatar from both sides.
Hellscream and Da Hou, along with Leina, stepped forward and surrounded the Rain God Avatar's clone.
Black Arrow, along with the Big Demon, continuously unleashed Frostbolt and Hellfire Fireball, damaging the Rain God Avatar.
Lord Shen was also riding on the back of Hippogryph, with crossbow bolts and Hellfire Fireball being fired in rapid succession.
Meanwhile, the other players have also begun their battles.
"Boss One Star? Strong enough, but not enough to faze me."
Lachlan, a confident smile on his face, waved his hand and said, "Go, finish it in 30 seconds."
As soon as he finished speaking, the ten Transcendent Rank experts simultaneously went into battle.
One of the men and one of the women even had red dragon scales appearing on their faces, and their aura erupted like a volcano.
It even reached the same level as the Rain God Avatar.
On the other side.
A woman in a red dress stood gracefully at the edge of the platform, the lake water beneath her feet tinged with dark red.
"Oh my god~ Level 19 Boss, looks so scary, looks like it has so much water."
"I wonder how long the water in its body will last us?"
She chuckled, then waved her hand and said, "Drain her dry."
As soon as the words fell, the ten handsome men and beautiful women shuddered and transformed into countless blood-red bats, attacking the Rain God Avatar.
On a platform about two or three kilometers away from Shen Xing, stood Xu Jiayi and the ten members she had brought with her.
She didn't rush into an attack, but instead chose to proceed cautiously and steadily.
After all, there are only three Transcendent Rank troops in her territory.
Besides the two Boss Three Stars archers, there was also that Xiao Xiao stone golem from before.
She had the stone golem stand in front, using its rock-solid body to withstand the torrential attacks of the Rain God Avatar.
The other archers huddled at the back, drawing their bows and beginning to fire.
One hundred platforms, one hundred lords—the challenge has officially begun.
The lords outside the region also engaged in heated discussions.
"They're fighting! They're fighting! This Rain God Avatar looks really strong."
"Yeah, now it's all about who can get the first kill and then go all out to take first place."
"Lachlan's momentum is really strong; it seems like taking down this Rain God Avatar shouldn't be a problem."
"I feel Asada Hitomi has a better chance. Her assassin squad is too monstrous; they turned Rain God Avatar into a human stump right from the start!"
The lords stared intently at the live stream, debating which player would secure the first kill.
