Chapter 569: Chapter 281: Light and Dark Origin Stone! (Four in One)_5
A group of Skeleton Warriors wielded gigantic axes and launched Whirlwind Slash. They rapidly spun, swinging their axes towards the Spirit Collective Body. The surrounding air instantly twisted, forming a cyclone as Whirlwind Slash swept across the battlefield, releasing a savage impact that tore through the surrounding space and forced the Spirit Collective Body to retreat and dodge.
Another batch of Skeleton Warriors charged forward, twin swords in hand, performing continuous sword dances. They weaved around the enemy like flashes of lightning, their sword shadows crisscrossing. Each swing unleashed fierce sword energy. The sword gleams from their dance, filled with destructive power, forced the Spirit Collective Body to constantly shift its form to evade. However, it still couldn’t completely avoid being wounded, and trails of black gas leaked from it.
Simultaneously, a group of Skeleton Berserkers stormed the battlefield, brandishing giant hammers and unleashing Heaven Shaking battle roars. They swung their hammers wildly at the Spirit Collective Body, each strike creating a powerful shockwave. The battle cries, filled with anger and ferocity, exerted an unbearable pressure on the Spirit Collective Body.
The Spirit Collective Body had to fend off axes, twin swords, and giant hammers, making its situation incredibly difficult. It continuously dodged the crushing blows of the giant hammers. However, the pressure was so immense that each time it could only barely block or evade the impact, leaving the Skeleton Berserkers to create patches of craters and shattered ground across the battlefield.
Meanwhile, a large group of Skeleton Assassins silently closed in. Using their shadow avatar skill, they moved swiftly around the enemy, making it difficult for the Spirit Collective Body to discern their true forms. With sharp daggers in hand, they waited for an opening as the Spirit Collective Body struggled to resist and dodge the other Skeleton Monsters’ attacks. Seizing their chance, they rapidly launched continuous Assassin’s Slash attacks, each strike incredibly swift and unpredictable. Countless daggers drew silvery lines of light as they cut through the air, carrying a lethal threat toward the Spirit Collective Body.
Despite the Spirit Collective Body’s advanced tactics and extensive combat experience, its limited attribute values meant it couldn’t completely dodge all attacks when facing a coordinated assault from so many different professions. Eventually, it was struck by the Skeleton Monsters’ attacks.
As Chen Mo’s summoned Skeleton Monsters unleashed a multitude of skills from various professions to besiege the Spirit Collective Body trapped in the formation, the central area became a scene of chaotic and intense battle. Various attacks intertwined, unleashing unparalleled power and speed that left the Spirit Collective Body struggling to cope. However, possessing a vast array of abilities had its advantages; despite the relentless assault, it still managed to cling to life. Its life-saving measures were also top-notch.
But it was a losing battle. Even though it frantically dodged and defended, desperately seeking weaknesses and trying to protect itself from fatal blows, it was merely a spent force. Its numerous abilities only delayed the inevitable. Against a Summoner, if the main body couldn’t be killed, then slaughtering his summons was futile. Even killing tens of billions of summoned creatures would be in vain!
However, Chen Mo hadn’t expected this entity to be so resilient. In the tiny central area of the formation, it had surprisingly managed to defend a small zone where it could move freely. This was largely thanks to its ability to counter shields and summoned creatures. Otherwise, it would have been overwhelmed by the Skeleton Monsters long ago, and it wouldn’t have been able to quickly eliminate most of the Skeleton Monsters that got close.
The center of the formation filled with the sounds of clashing swords, the crackling of burning flames, and the roar of colliding forces. The Skeleton Monsters used their respective skills and strengths to relentlessly entangle and suppress the Spirit Collective Body, determined to force it into a desperate situation.
This was one of the longest battles Chen Mo had fought since becoming the Dominator of the Undead. The timer had already reached 50 minutes. Chen Mo’s Skeleton Monsters had been assaulting the Spirit Collective Body for a full 10 minutes. Although their attacks had found their mark multiple times, they still couldn’t kill it.
This entity possessed formidable regenerative and damage reduction abilities. Here, damage reduction referred to the final damage reduction, calculated after true damage. Combined with its numerous defense skills, blocking techniques, dodge abilities, and recovery skills, its survivability was off the charts. Moreover, it had strong buffing abilities, and status effects hardly worked on it. Possessing so many abilities truly made it extraordinary. It could even create Avatars and summon creatures, though they were vastly inferior compared to Chen Mo’s. Its Avatars and summons were annihilated the moment they appeared. Seeing these methods were useless, it eventually stopped trying them and focused solely on self-preservation.
Facing an enemy that possessed countless life-saving and offensive measures, and was also resolved to defend its ground, was indeed exceptionally difficult. The crucial point was that this enemy seemed immune to status effects and range attack. In ancient times, even a renowned warrior capable of fighting ten thousand men would be doomed if surrounded by a circle of archers. Such was the power of range attack—its strength lay in rapid, dense, real-time assaults! Chen Mo had always used this advantage to instantly defeat his enemies. Now, facing an opponent impervious to Flying attacks and killable only in close combat, the fight became incredibly challenging; his close-combat Skeleton Monsters would approach, only to be wiped out in seconds.
Of course, Chen Mo hadn’t used his full strength yet. He merely wanted to gauge how powerful such a well-rounded opponent truly was. Having observed enough of the enemy’s capabilities, Chen Mo decided not to hold back any longer.
He quickly approached and activated a Life-And-Death Effect from his Life-And-Death Emblem, instantly locking the Spirit Collective Body of the failed geniuses with the Life-And-Death Chain. Now, it could only attack Chen Mo and no one else, which nullified its ability to quickly clear out nearby Skeleton Monsters.
As mentioned before, chain-type skills like the Life-And-Death Chain were not considered status effects, making them difficult to remove. The chain’s effect on both parties was akin to a cursed contract, not easily broken unless one possessed an ability to dispel curses. However, curse-dispelling abilities were unheard of below the Divine rank. Only in certain special dungeons could one find ways to dispel curses. Therefore, even for a collective entity of failed geniuses like this, breaking free from this chain was impossible.
With the Life-And-Death Chain binding it, the Spirit Collective Body of the failed geniuses could no longer withstand the torrent of attacks from the surrounding Skeleton Monsters and was quickly overwhelmed and killed.
Chen Mo felt a mix of emotions as he watched the Spirit Collective Body of failed geniuses, after a final violent struggle, dissipate into a cloud of black mist.
If I were to fail and die here, would my soul also be trapped, used as a trial for future generations, finding no peace even in death?
However, this encounter with such a unique enemy had been quite rewarding for Chen Mo. From the myriad of skills displayed by the Spirit Collective Body of failed geniuses, he had managed to copy an impressive invincible skill. Compared to other skills, invincible skills were indeed the most practical. Paired with the Invincible Lotus, he could achieve true invincibility for a considerable period.
Due to the change in how Divine Power rewards were given after the twenty-first floor, Chen Mo didn’t see any God this time. He was teleported out directly after The Heavenly Path’s Hint appeared.
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Congratulations on successfully completing the 30th trial of the Divine Training Tower. You have earned 10 points of Divine Power as a reward. You will be teleported out in 3 seconds. We look forward to your next challenge!]
This time, I managed to snag 55 points of Divine Power from these ten floors. The Harvest is far greater than before.
Chen Mo wasn’t concerned about extra rewards from the previous tenth floor since his Divine Power Harvest this time was tremendous. At least he had secured an extra reward for himself: an invincible skill.
