MMO: Pierce Heaven Til’ It Breaks

Genghis was the First Demon God, the oldest and most ancient of the demons. As long as it existed, other demons would live a long life. Its death would greatly weaken the demons.

During a fight with Genghis, there must be no movements such as jumping, flying or any actions that would cause one to leave the ground, this also applied to pets. As such, Li Yi did not summon Dolly to assist in combat.

Genghis would release a black noxious smog which would cover the entire hall once any feet were off the ground, reducing HP by at least 100,000 per second until the battle was over.

It was better to get hit than to leap away from the ground. This was the most basic rule for tackling Genghis.

Li Yi’s movement speed was fast enough, but he would still take damage from time to time. A shot from Genghis would cost between 30,000 to 50,000 HP, even his high HP would not last long.

Genghis was quite overpowered. It had sharp bone spurs which would always be equal to the number of its opponents. In other words, any player who entered the Demon God Hall would inevitably be attacked by it, be it main tanks or healers.

Li Yi fired as he ran, approaching Genghis with each shot while unleashing his Chrono Territory.

The golden barrier only spread out a meter and stopped.

This was the power of Genghis, which limited Territory Release.

“Bam! Bam! Bam!”

When Li Yi was about three meters away from Genghis, its humongous heart suddenly burst into three Resistant Shadow Beams and shoved him away.

While Genghis was only a gigantic heart, it had an unbelievable attack and was extremely resistant to long-range damage. However, it had the weakest melee defense in human history. As long as someone could approach it and attack it, it would lose HP very fast.

Unfortunately, Genghis had a special ability, which could cast beams regularly and forcefully push away all targets within its range.

Li Yi was hit by the Resistant Shadow Beam and the damage on his head showed [-232134].

Its Shadow Beam was a force to be reckoned with.

Just twenty seconds later, more than half of Li Yi’s HP was gone, but he still did not give up and continued to approach Genghis.

It was almost impossible to defeat Genghis using conventional strategies, hence Li Yi opted for an unusual one.

“Bam! Bam! Bam!”

Three Resistant Shadow Beams were fired, and he was pushed back once more, but the distance was significantly reduced. His standing position had weakened the force of the beams.

Li Yi drank a bottle of Sacred Potion and went on.

“Bam! Bam! Bam!”

“Bam! Bam! Bam!”

The black beams were firing constantly but he was not pushed back.

He ran along the edge of its attack range. Strong energy blew his hair up but failed to push him back.

“Bam! Bam! Bam!”

“Bam! Bam! Bam!”

Genghis constantly launched the Resistant Shadow Beams. Its mana was infinite. There was no need to worry about its consumption. As long as the player was in range, it would continue to fire.

Li Yi ran and fired as he calculated the intervals between the firing of each beam.

A bone spur shot out and depleted all of his HP.

Just as Li Yi was pierced by a bone spur and his HP vanished, he suddenly activated his Rocket Propellant and threw his body forward.

He was dead, the Rocket Propellant was merely pushing his lifeless body forward. He managed to time it perfectly and moved right after the beams were fired but before the next attack, flying forward at full speed.

His dead body and the interval between attacks were the keys!

Li Yi’s body slid smoothly over the big heart of Genghis. The black beams were ready to launch but failed because of his position at the center.

The first step, checked.

Li Yi was relieved.

Before he revived himself using his Sacramental Stone, a figure emerged from the entrance of the Demon God Hall. It held a claymore in one hand and limped toward Genghis.

It was Aragon, the former Emperor of the Continent!

When Li Yi came to the Demon God Castle, he deliberately went to talk to Aragon about the Third Demon God. He did this not because he could not find it, but to prompt Aragon to assist him.

Aragon had a deep fear of the Third Demon God due to the latter breaking his leg.

He did not dare to confront him.

When Li Yi killed the Third Demon God, Aragon would receive the news. Amidst shock and admiration, the flame for vengeance would ignite his heart. He would then take up arms and head to the Demon God Castle to assist the slayer of the Third Demon God.

He was only afraid of the Third Demon God. The other demons were nothing to him, including the Second Demon God and Genghis.

As Aragon dragged his claymore and ran toward Genghis, his body was wrapped in a red barrier. Countless 0s floated across the top of his head. Genghis’ attack was temporarily ineffective.

“This is it? The First Demon God? Heh, pathetic.”

Aragon pointed forward and a red barrier covered Genghis.

Countless swords appeared inside the barrier and Aragon disappeared.

Dozens of swords within said barrier went wild, and Genghis suffered rapid HP loss.

This was the unique Territory skill of a Blademaster, the ultimate sword technique: Tempest.

Augustus knew the skill, and so did his teacher — Aragon.

“Resurrection!”

Li Yi also chose to resurrect at this time.

The bone spurs shot twice then stopped.

The bone spurs’ area of effect was indiscriminate and uncontrollable. It would not only hit the players but also Genghis. As Li Yi was revived on Genghis’ body, the bone spurs inevitably stabbed it.

When the bone spurs hit twice, penetration would occur, and Genghis was no exception. It was unable to move.

Li Yi suffered the same fate and was paralyzed.

Now it all fell on Aragon to bring it down.

Only those who had completed the Luo Lan Empire’s Hall of Fame Quest were qualified to get Aragon to assist in combat. This also would only happen once. Regardless of the outcome, this was the first and last time he would provide assistance.

After the Tempest, Aragon swung his claymore and came down hard on Genghis.

“I thought you were dead. I didn’t expect that you’d be alive and well. Hahaha! Killing the Third Demon God, now that was something.”

“Hehe…”

“Bam! Bam!”

The spurs were released once more. Li Yi and Genghis were once again paralyzed due to the penetration, but this time he managed to summon the Panda Fighter before he stopped moving.

Without Aragon’s assistance, Li Yi would have had to rely on his pets or hire mercenaries to use this unusual method of winning.

The Panda Fighter practiced drunken fist. Though its ATK was not as good as Aragon, it was much stronger than the average player, inflicting 300,000 damage in one punch, while a Whirlwind Kick would inflict another three or five million. An outstanding move.

In terms of ATK, Pamela was higher than the Panda Fighter, but she had no healing skills. Unlike the Panda Warrior, its drunken fist had a healing effect. It would be much viable in a long fight as compared to Pamela.

Genghis was completely disabled. As long as the spurs were still firing, it would not be able to move. Li Yi was in the exact same state, but the difference was that he had helpers. Genghis could only take damage and do nothing. It could not even vent its anger through shouting due to its lack of a mouth.

When its HP was reduced to less than half, the giant heart suddenly beat fast. It might only have one heart, but its intelligence was absolutely not to be underestimated. The heart accelerated the recovery due to the presence of danger, which it detected, and began to summon demonic monsterlings.

“Roar—”

Thirty three-headed demons appeared from around the hall.

The three-headed demons, with a HP of 90 million, were good at body-slamming and had a whirlwind attack. They were tough to shake off.

They had not yet approached, and Genghis summoned something again. This time there was no group but a green dragon with a body length of more than 20 meters.

The Demon Dragon, Kolanian!

A dragonling hatched from an egg of the ancient dragon clan corrupted by the power of the demons would be full of dark powers if it were to survive the corruption.

During the Antediluvian War, the demons looted hundreds of thousands of dragon eggs for hatching purposes. They only succeeded in hatching one, the green-scaled Kolanian.

As soon as the Demon Dragon was on the scene, its exhaled darkness as an area attack.

[-777655]

Damage figures flew across Li Yi’s head. That one breath almost immediately killed him.

“Heaven help us, why is that thing here?”

Seeing the Demon Dragon, Li Yi felt a headache.

Li Yi avoided the minions in the Castle and directly challenged Genghis. It would save a lot of time, but it would be risky. In other words, there was a possibility that Genghis would summon bosses that had not been killed in other rooms when it was summoning monsterlings for assistance.

In theory, Genghis could summon any monster within the Castle except the Second Demon God.

In the Castle, in addition to the Second Demon God and Genghis, there was an extremely powerful boss called Kolanian.

The strength of Kolanian was equal to the Second Demon God, far surpassing the First Demon God!

“Ultimate sword technique: Ten Thousand Lightning Blade!”

The dragon was causing Li Yi a headache, but Aragon was not worried in the slightest. He released a second marvelous sword skill upon seeing a large number of three-headed demons and a dragon jumping into the fray.

An overwhelming and unending blade aura formed a shiny and sparkling trawl, completely enveloping the Demon God Hall in its wake.
