Chapter 310: Chapter 309: Super Evolution, Emperor-Level BOSS!
The Eleventh World, Gate of Eternity.
Zhang Yue had just stepped into the Gate of Eternity, entering a vast, endless ancient ruin.
In all directions, more than a dozen lord-level giant beasts appeared immediately, surging fiercely to besiege Zhang Yue.
These level-70 monsters, each possessing 3–4 million HP, were absolutely no challenge for Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue didn't even need to lift a finger.
He summoned the Hell Skeleton King, using taunt to gather all the lord-level giant beasts in one spot.
Then, the mythic-grade Thirty-Six Winged Armageddon Black Dragon, with an AOE damage output of 1.2–1.3 million, easily annihilated them all in an instant.
Afterward, Zhang Yue continued searching for the Gate of Death while hunting monsters along the way.
Under normal circumstances, there was no time limit for professionals to conquer the Gate of Eternity.
But Zhang Yue had to find the Gate, kill the ultimate boss within it, and obtain the Resurrection Godstone Fragment within 15 hours.
Otherwise, if the spatial rift disappeared, Zhang Yue would never be able to return to Dragon Nation. [T/N: Can't He Just login to whatever region in Eastern Nation and fly on his Dragon to Dragon Nation?]
Of course, 15 hours was more than enough for Zhang Yue.
To be exact, Zhang Yue only needed 15 minutes.
Having previously entered the Gate of Eternity and familiarized himself with its layout, combined with his strength, which would make girls from Eastern Nation call him "god-tier OP," his progress was so fast it could only be described as insane.
The monsters around him barely appeared before being obliterated.
Wave after wave emerged, only to vanish instantly.
And Zhang Yue hadn't even personally made a move.
Starting with one dragon, clearing the dungeon sideways.
Since the Gate of Eternity didn't allow live broadcasts, if the Dragon Nation audience or the people of Eastern Nation saw how Zhang Yue was slaughtering these lord-level monsters, they would likely be so shocked they'd question reality.
Before long, a gate refreshed.
Zhang Yue stepped inside—it was indeed a Gate of Death.
Immediately, he was surrounded by over a hundred lord-level monsters and two level-70, 10-star BOSSes.
For the sake of the two 10-star BOSSes, Zhang Yue reluctantly lifted his staff.
Then:
"Show time!"
———
Meanwhile, hundreds of white beams of light descended, bringing more than 300 elite professionals from Eastern Nation into the Gate of Eternity.
"Try to avoid dungeon monsters; our mission is to follow Zero into the Gate and help the ultimate boss take down Zero!"
"Everyone, keep your distance, stay hidden, and move out!"
Following the trail of monster corpses left by Zhang Yue, the 300-plus professionals began pursuing him.
However, before long, they encountered a group of attacking lord-level beasts.
But since they were the top new professionals from Eastern Nation, and their numbers were overwhelming, they quickly eliminated the beasts.
They resumed tracking Zhang Yue.
———
On the other side, Zhang Yue broke through the Gate of Death in less than ten seconds, shattering it instantly.
The Gate's collapse signified its breach.
In the next moment, Zhang Yue appeared at the shattered Gate of Death's location.
Just as he was about to search for the next Gate, he suddenly heard the sounds of fighting from behind.
Zhang Yue clearly realized something but didn't pay much attention.
He continued his search for the Gate of Death.
Because most monsters had been cleared by Zhang Yue, the Eastern Nation squad trailing behind faced significantly less danger.
They quickly caught up with Zhang Yue's pace, finding a concealed spot where hundreds of them lay in ambush.
For every Gate of Death Zhang Yue broke through, they followed and relocated.
"One minute to breach a Gate of Death? Is the Gate of Death's difficulty that low?"
Since it was their first time in the Gate of Eternity, they assumed the Gate of Deaths were simply easy to conquer, completely overlooking the fact that Zhang Yue's strength was absurdly overpowered.
What they didn't know was that Zhang Yue was intentionally slowing his progress to mislead them.
Otherwise, Zhang Yue could breach a Gate of Death in just ten seconds, far less than a minute.
The reason for his deliberate delay was to lull them into a false sense of security. If they were scared off, Zhang Yue wouldn't be able to use them for his plan.
Until Zhang Yue entered another Gate. This time, more than a minute passed—three minutes even—and he didn't emerge.
Outside, the Eastern Nation professionals speculated amongst themselves.
"This guy came out within a minute every time before. Why is he taking so long now?"
"Could it be the Gate of Life?"
"The Gate of Life contains the ultimate BOSS; it won't be easy to handle. This must be the Gate of Life. He must be inside battling the BOSS!"
"This idiot doesn't even know we're following him. Brothers, let's all rush in and catch him off guard. Together with the BOSS, we'll take down this Dragon Nation pig!"
In the next moment, hundreds of them charged into the Gate.
But upon entering, they found everything eerily quiet.
No ultimate BOSS, no sign of Zhang Yue.
Only a faint light curtain shimmered before them.
It was the Gate of Eternity's exit.
The exit's appearance confirmed that this was indeed the Gate of Life.
Still, Zhang Yue was nowhere to be seen, leaving everyone confused.
"Could he have already left?"
"But wasn't his goal to kill the ultimate BOSS guarding the Gate of Life and obtain the Resurrection Godstone Fragment? If the BOSS isn't dead, why would he leave?"
As they debated, a cold wind suddenly swept through.
The next second—
SWISH!
A shadow as fast as lightning darted through the crowd.
Following several screams, numerous Eastern Nation professionals collapsed in a straight line.
Before they could react, the shadow darted back and forth, slaying more and more of them.
Amid the chaotic cries, dozens fell in an instant.
In the Gate of Eternity, death was permanent. Revival scrolls didn't work here.
"What? What is that?"
"It's the Gate of Life BOSS! Everyone, be careful!"
After several more strikes, the Eastern Nation team of 300-plus was reduced to less than half.
Finally, they caught sight of their attacker: a humanoid creature radiating dark energy, its eyes glowing blood-red.
Above its head, the blood-red ID read:
[Dark Shadow · Pier (Lv.70, God-Level BOSS)]
Instantly, panic set in.
"Didn't they say the ultimate BOSS wouldn't attack unless provoked?"
"If Zero already left, why is this BOSS here?"
At that moment, a voice rang out: "I released it."
They turned to see Zhang Yue casually sitting on a nearby rock, staff on his shoulder, watching their panic with a relaxed smile.
With a light chuckle, he asked, "Surprised? Shocked?"
The people of Eastern Nation finally realized.
"This guy… knew we followed him in?"
However, by the time they realized it, it was already too late.
Among those still alive, Meikawa Kuchako hurriedly said to the Dark Shadow · Pier, "We are here to help you! You... if you kill us, without our help, you won't be able to kill that beast tamer either."
As a god-level BOSS with human-like thoughts and intelligence, the Dark Shadow · Pier naturally understood how to analyze benefits.
However, it only glanced at Zhang Yue and didn't take him seriously.
"A mere insignificant human, I, Pier, would need your help to kill him?"
"Killing him is as easy as crushing an ant, and that includes you all."
Dabang Tong said, "You have no idea of that guy's strength. You can't beat him!"
"Trust me, trust me!"
"Only with our help can you be his opponent! Otherwise, he will beat you to the point you lose all dignity, I'm not lying to you!"
Pier was indifferent.
After all, over the past hundred years, countless humans had entered the Gate of Eternity, and they all ended up dying at its hands.
No human could pose any threat to it.
Seeing Pier unwilling to ally with them, the people of Eastern Nation pointed to Zhang Yue and said to Pier, "Then, in that case, why don't you kill him first!"
Pier: "Why?"
Before the people of Eastern Nation could respond, Zhang Yue, who was standing aside, deliberately stirred the pot, "Maybe it's because they think I look more handsome than you? They're afraid you'll get jealous, implying that you're ugly."
Dabang Tong, utterly enraged, shouted a phrase he had learned from Chinese netizens: "You ni ma... can't you show some decency."
However, Pier, who was extremely proud of his appearance, fell into Zhang Yue's taunt. "I, Pier, the most handsome man in the world—how dare you insult my beauty. Die!"
After speaking, Pier decisively waved his hand, summoning the Shadow Army and ordered them to annihilate the remaining hundred-plus people from Eastern Nation.
Against a god-level BOSS, even the top-notch professionals of Eastern Nation had no power to resist.
Watching Pier slaughter hundreds of humans, Zhang Yue's gaze remained fixed on the Dark Shadow Pier.
It seemed as though he was waiting for something.
Before long, Pier's body began to radiate a golden light.
Seeing this, Zhang Yue smiled with satisfaction, "It didn't disappoint me!"
As his words fell, the map announcement rang out.
[Ding ~ Please note: The god-level BOSS [Dark Shadow · Pier] has activated its dark blood trait due to mass slaughter and has obtained super evolution. It is about to evolve into an emperor-level BOSS: Hell Shadow Emperor · Pier King]
