Chapter 449: Chapter 455: Doomsday Nether Flame

Found it!

Hang Yu discovered the anomaly in the Magma Lake.

In the Magma Lake, there were some scattered black reefs, and some reddish-brown objects.

If you observe closely, you’ll find that the reddish-brown objects move slowly; they aren’t reefs, but a gigantic monster, fully immersed in the magma.

"Bai, start controlling the field."

"Er Gou, assist in blocking any stragglers."

His two subordinates immediately followed orders. Bai activated the skill Illusion Dust to cover the surrounding area, preventing the nearby monsters in the canyon from noticing once the battle starts. Er Gou, on the other hand, stationed his clone at the canyon’s entrance, ready to pounce on any wandering monsters that might come their way.

Hang Yu had already used the Weapon Contract in advance.

He took out a level 15 light blue longbow.

This longbow was the strongest war bow found when looting Sand Spring City.

Its additional effects include armor-piercing, increased range, and attack power, perfect for the current situation.

A Celestial Assault Arrow was unleashed!

The arrow flew into the sky and transformed mid-air into a gigantic Light Arrow, crashing down onto the Magma Lake, causing magma to splash everywhere!

Accompanied by a roar.

A gigantic figure rose from the lake, revealed to be a monster resembling a giant snake. Its body was fifty to sixty meters long, so thick that ten people couldn’t wrap their arms around it, with a single horn on its head.

Single-Horned Red Flood Dragon.

Level 15 Silver Overlord!

No way to predict what might happen if you faced this creature in its domain.

Hang Yu didn’t enter the Magma Lake but stayed on the shore, constantly drawing his bow and shooting arrows, each arrow wrapped in powerful energy, relentlessly hitting this terrifying overlord-level monster.

-35!

-41!

-36!

Thankfully, he possesses third-tier Inheritance Skills as a Divine Archer.

The longbow is also the strongest currently available.

Each arrow Hang Yu shoots carries immense power, capable of inflicting damage on the opponent.

The Red Flood Dragon didn’t plan to leave the magma. It lifted half of its body high and a scorching magma ball wrapped in intense flames spewed into the air, exploding the next second and transforming into a lava fire rain covering hundreds of meters.

Every drop of fire rain that hits the ground.

Ultimately releases a patch of flames.

Yet, almost in an instant of contact, the shore where Hang Yu was standing became engulfed in a sea of flames, and the lava fire rain continued to pour incessantly, making it impossible to evade the inflicted damage.

-24!

-31!

-29!

Even for Hang Yu, facing such fire attribute attacks, his Life Energy began to rapidly decline. Anyone else, even several Great Lords, wouldn’t be able to hold out for long.

This level of monster is incredibly challenging to defeat in solo combat.

Hang Yu claimed he could withstand it; he didn’t activate status skills like Demon Blood Awakening but relied on his own Life Recovery and continuously used several mid-to-high level potions to balance the toll.

Meanwhile.

Activating Fury of the Mad Demon.

To convert the damage into Fury.

Saving this Fury, which can enhance attack power, for backup.

Occasionally, the Red Flood Dragon would unleash powerful attacks, requiring Hang Yu to preemptively anticipate these situations. Even if he needed to use flashing or phasing to evade, as long as he was careful, it wasn’t a major issue.

Thus.

With extremely long-range.

Hang Yu continued shooting one arrow after another from the shore.

The life energy of the Silver Overlord-level monster was over tens of thousands and its Life Recovery was quite significant, so the key to this battle is one word: grind! 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Grind it to death!

Hang Yu kept firing for nearly two hours.

Shooting until his hand went numb, his feet sore.

Nonetheless, the Single-Horned Red Flood Dragon’s life energy was less than one-fifth left, quickly falling into a weakened state, and even its offensive seemed to weaken; it looked to be done for.

Great!

Don’t be careless!

Push harder!

Hang Yu knew the Single-Horned Red Flood Dragon still had moves in reserve, so while on guard, he continued accumulating Fury. When its life energy dropped to around 5%.

The Red Flood Dragon let out a loud roar and started descending, fully transitioning into the Magma Lake. During this process, its body erupted with intense flames, activating a troublesome skill: "Baptism by Fire!"

Life energy below 5%.

It’s triggered this skill.

Its recovery ability will increase drastically, exceeding many times.

Without swiftly taking down the Red Flood Dragon, within minutes, its life energy will return to full status.

Over and over.

Impossible to kill!

Hang Yu decisively swapped out the bow and pulled out Abyssal Slaughterer.

This powerful level 15 bright blue weapon, shaped like a pitch-black two-handed greatsword, with a high base damage bonus of 90 points of physical damage, making it a terrifying weapon for violent output!

The Fury accumulated from the Fury of the Mad Demon was unleashed.

Abyssal Slaughterer became imbued with blood-lit magma-like Fury, immediately emitting a destructive aura!

After nearly two hours of combat.

Consuming seventy-nine potions.

In addition to his own significant Life Recovery power.

Hang Yu barely stabilized his life energy decline.

The amount of life force consumed over such a long time, and hence the converted Fury, was imaginable, and the Fury was already maxed out!

Light-Seeking Sword!

Hang Yu exploded in full force,

At the exact moment the Red Flood Dragon’s body was fully immersed into the Magma Lake.

He instantly became a beam of extreme light, sweeping across the Red Flood Dragon’s body.

-3021!

A gigantic blade ray tore through the void!

The Red Flood Dragon was split into two halves right in the middle.

Its life energy had just started rapidly recovering when, the next moment, it dropped to void, struggled a few times, and finally perished.

Its corpse floated out of the magma.

Several blue items burst from its body.

A large amount of blue Spiritual Qi, like a storm, instantly enveloped Hang Yu.

Spiritual Qi and Spiritual Qi Essence surged crazily!

Hang Yu single-handedly slew the level 15 Silver Overlord, gaining over twenty thousand Spiritual Qi, instantly breaking the boundary and leveling up to 15!

Successfully upgraded!

Even without relying on the Contract, he could use "Abyssal Slaughterer"; Hang Yu’s strength had made a qualitative leap.

The leap took him onto a black reef.

He quickly collected several floating light balls.

The Red Flood Dragon’s drop was average, although six blue items dropped, but all six items were materials, without direct blue equipment or blueprints.

Of course.

The materials dropped and collected from the Red Flood Dragon were bright blue materials.

According to what Hang Yu knew, these materials were the main ingredients for crafting the Flame Flood Dragon Set. The Flood Dragon’s Flesh collected from it was enough to cook rare food of bright blue quality, which after consumption could increase Constitution, Strength, and Life Energy!

The drop itself doesn’t matter!

What Hang Yu truly focused on was the Treasure Chest.

He quickly approached the Treasure Chest, and since the Imperial Box Opener was not present, he had to open the chest himself.

As soon as the chest was opened.

Two blue items and one purple item appeared from it.

[Artifact Refining Blueprint: Flame Flood Dragon Ring], Blue Upper Grade Quality, learning condition: Expert-level Refining Skill.

[Spiritual Professional Skill Stone: Light of Illusion], Blue Upper Grade Quality, Inheritance Skills of the King of Illusion.

[Doomsday Nether Flame Fragment], Purple Lower Grade Quality, part of the royal artifact "Doomsday Nether Flame!"

Although the Imperial Box Opener wasn’t present.

But this time, luck wasn’t bad either!

A blueprint for crafting the Flame Flood Dragon Set doesn’t need much elaboration on its value.

A fourth-tier Skill Stone, which happens to be one Bai can learn.

As for the last item.

This was Hang Yu’s real goal this trip!

Doomsday Nether Flame is a piece of purple equipment; finding even a fragment from this chest was significant, and, according to Hang Yu’s knowledge, there are about six such Treasure Chests in the labyrinth.

Only by collecting all seven fragments.

Can this purple equipment be synthesized!

The challenge is immense; if fragments aren’t collected in time, they’ll disappear in hand.

The value and rarity of purple equipment are tens if not hundreds of times greater than blue equipment. If Hang Yu manages to obtain just one piece of purple equipment, even without fourth-tier inheritance skills, he could compete with, or even defeat, any major figure in Desert Province other than Nazg!
