Chapter 495: Chapter 268: Three Great Heavenly Demon Leaders, Chapter Difficulty Soars_1
After Lin Xun used Dragon Breath to help Wang Zong clear the Heavenly Demon monsters on the Cloud Bridge, the situation temporarily stabilized.
He specifically glanced at the Seventh Immortals Palace and found that Lu Caiyi seemed to be teeming with spare capacity.
[You overlook the Seventh Immortals Palace, the Light Shaking Palace, and see Breaking Army Star Lord with metal boxing gloves. Every punch he throws causes a frosty burst of energy, splitting more than ten Heavenly Demons into pieces.]
[The Heavenly Demon army was blocked at the front of the Cloud Bridge, unable to advance. Breaking Army Star Lord seemed to sense something during his charge, smiled at you, and gestured that he needed no support.]
The layers of Lu Caiyi’s "Endless Power" probably have been maxed out. With the amplified strength of four to five times, she faced no significant pressure in resisting the Heavenly Demon Army.
As for Du Cheng, the Star Monarch Wenqu of the Fourth Immortal Palace, his undead army firmly blocked the entrance to the Cloud Bridge, leaving the Heavenly Demons unable to squeeze in.
As for Yin Linlin and Shangguan Yu, the former had the "Rhinoceros Earth Dragon" charging back and forth and also possessed healing skills, and the latter had a wide-range Sword Rain skill. Given the current situation, they didn’t need any assistance for the time being.
Lin Xun returned to the Cloud Bridge of the Heavenly Pivot Palace.
[Your Summoned Beast, Three-Headed Lion and Shikigami, Snow Woman, have moved back to the middle section of the Cloud Bridge.]
[The ’Fallen Three-Headed Lion’ holds up Heavenly Demons with its body up ahead, while ’Snow Woman’ casts demon arts to attack from behind.]
[The Heavenly Demons stepping onto the Cloud Bridge are all covered by the ’Extreme Cold Ice Field’, finding it difficult to move in the ice and snow and significantly slowing their speed.]
[Moreover, there are three huge harsh ice tornadoes in the snowfield. Many Heavenly Demons that get caught in this Ice Storm are turned into ice sculptures and they instantly shatter into piles of ice chips...]
Lin Xun pulled off the ’Thunder Dragon Staff Spear’ from the Snow Woman and gave her the ’Snow Ice Crystal Cane’ that amplifies ice magic.
After the Snow Woman was equipped with the Ice Magic Exclusive Cane, the results were apparent instantly.
Not only did it increase the slowing effect of the ’Extreme Cold Ice Field’ even more, but it also made the Ice Storm of the ’Ice Frost Fall’ even more devastating.
This way, the lineup of the Three-Headed Lion and the Snow Woman had become perfect. The speed of their retreat had significantly slowed down, and even if Lin Xun went out to support others once more, they could hold the Heavenly Pivot Palace.
Thanks to his occasional trips to support the other Apostles, the situation had temporarily stabilized, but the health bar of the Little Dragon in its dragon form was quickly decreasing.
Lin Xun could only go back to the Heavenly Pivot Palace and provide healing for himself...
"Lin Xun, I always feel like we’re missing something,"
Du Cheng, who had the Army of the Dead, was the most relaxed, but he took off his glasses and frowned at Lin Xun’s remark.
"What else could we be missing? These Heavenly Demons are enough trouble as it is. If we add more, won’t we be wiped out?" Wang Zong replied without lifting his head.
Lin Xun, however, jolted with realization upon Du Cheng’s reminder. He suddenly realized what they were missing.
"The Heavenly Demon Leader!"
During yesterday’s Heavenly Demon invasion, they had been killing the Heavenly Demons so quickly that they had to wait a long time for a BOSS-level Heavenly Demon Leader to appear.
This situation led everyone to subconsciously think that the Heavenly Demon Leader would appear only after defeating the main Demon army.
However, the previous battle record in Jinling was clear; if they defeated the Heavenly Demon Army too slowly, the Heavenly Demon Leader would appear as scheduled and would not wait for them.
Based on yesterday’s experience, the Heavenly Demon Leader would appear fifteen minutes after the main force of Heavenly Demons emerged.
Today, three waves of Heavenly Demons appeared at once, not distinguishing between the vanguard and the main force... which meant that the Heavenly Demon Leader would probably still appear at the fifteen-minute mark!
Lin Xun looked at the electric clock hanging on the wall.
He had initiated the Heavenly Demon invasion precisely at noon, and it was currently 12:14:55!
The faces of the people in the meeting room were showing a mix of seriousness, excitement, worry, and concern.
[A great roar echoed from the Demon Suppression Altar!]
[The roar reverberated through the dome of the sky, and three great shadows emerged from the rift...]
[The three massive monster giants were...]
[One was the Heavenly Demon of Greed—’Bishamon of Desire,’ holding a Wisdom Umbrella with a bold aura of metal around it!]
[The second was the Heavenly Demon of Warfare—’Indra of Desire,’ holding a Vajra with lightning swirling around it!]
[The third was the Heavenly Demon of Fury—’Mourning Build’s Desire,’ holding a Glass Lamp with undying flames on it!]
[The three colossal monsters roared up to the sky and walked towards the Seventh Immortal Palace, the Light Shaking Palace...]
[The earth trembled, the Cloud Bridge swayed, and the various Heavenly Demon Monsters were crying out in excitement. It seemed that the emergence of the Demon King predicted the fall of the Immortal Palace, and they would soon be able to invade the human world and devour human flesh...]
"Damn, weren’t seven mini-BOSSes supposed to appear, with each of us dealing with one, and then we’d move on to the next round of BOSSes... How did the mini-BOSSes become mega-BOSSes, and they’re also targeting one location. How are we supposed to fight?"
Wang Zong was dumbstruck. The leap in difficulty of the underworld game had truly scared him.
According to yesterday’s course, after wiping out a wave of Heavenly Demons, seven mini-BOSSes would appear, each attacking an Immortal Palace. Since the mini-BOSSes were not that strong, everyone could handle them one-on-one without any pressure.
But today, the underworld game directly changed the seven mini-BOSSes into one mega BOSS.
That was not the weirdest part. What was even more ridiculous was that the three rounds of BOSSes appeared together and would focus their attack on the Immortal Palace.
The three BOSSes chose the Seventh Immortal Palace, probably because the Underworld game defaulted that the Apostle residing in the Light Shaking Palace was the weakest...
