Hidden Map: Void Forbidden Zone.
A hundred-man team was slowly advancing into the depths of the forbidden zone.
“According to the strategies published by veteran Professionals who have entered the Void Forbidden Zone, the two main rulers here each have their own strengths.”
In the crowd, Ouyang Ling’er once again took on the role of a guide: “The Undead Sovereign, Heard, belongs to the summoning category. Its greatest strength lies in the undead army it can summon.”
“And the Abyss Sovereign, Baru, is in the support category. Its abyssal power envelops the entire Void Forbidden Zone, greatly enhancing the Undead Sovereign’s undead army.”
“So, the strategies of our predecessors always prioritized targeting the Abyss Sovereign. As long as Baru is alive, the undead army is difficult to contend with!”
Hearing Ouyang Ling’er’s analysis, Zhang Yue spoke up, “That’s wrong.”
“What’s wrong?”
“The direction is wrong.”
Zhang Yue explained, “The Abyss Sovereign’s enhancement only affects the undead army. Once the undead army is destroyed, the abyssal power becomes useless.”
“So, we should prioritize targeting the undead army.”
Throughout the years, those who attempted to kill the Abyss Sovereign first always fell to the ambushes of the undead army.
While capturing the leader first might seem more effective, in reality, targeting the Abyss Sovereign first is much harder than targeting the undead army!
Because the former requires dealing with both the Abyss Sovereign and the undead army simultaneously.
Whereas the latter only requires facing the undead army.
So their direction was wrong from the start!
At this moment, humanoid monsters with blue flames burning on their bodies could be seen everywhere in the Void Forbidden Zone.
These were the strongest undead army under the Undead Sovereign, Heard—level 45 Undead Warriors!
Several nearby Undead Warriors immediately noticed the intruders stepping into the forbidden zone.
They let out beast-like roars, wielding ghostfire warblades, and approached Zhang Yue and the others.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Several purple beams of light descended from the sky, merging into the bodies of those Undead Warriors.
The next moment, the blue flames surrounding the Undead Warriors evolved into purple ghostfire!
In an instant, the Undead Warriors transformed from common monsters into lord monsters!
“They’ve evolved with the Abyss Sovereign’s abyssal power, everyone be careful!”
Li Xiaoyao adjusted his glasses and rationally analyzed, “In the Void Forbidden Zone, all Undead Warriors enhanced by the abyssal power will evolve from common monsters to lord monsters. Are we really going to take the unconventional route and start by attacking the undead army?”
“Look at the results of those who took the conventional route over the past century.” Swift Assassin Tian Xin’er brandished two daggers, looked at Zhang Yue, and said, “I support Zhang Yue, let’s take the unconventional route!”
Ahead, three lord-level Undead Warriors were already charging over.
With 3500 attack power, 1800 defense, and 200,000 health.
Such stats were explosive for the current stage.
At this moment, Flame Knight Wu Haotian, holding a spear and shield, led eight other Tian Family knights in a charge, blocking the three Undead Warriors.
Despite the rear priests weakening the Undead Warriors’ attack power significantly, their ghostfire warblades still inflicted three to four thousand damage on Wu Haotian and the others!
At this moment, a dozen priests in the rear continuously healed, stabilizing the front-line knights’ health.
Archers and mages launched long-range attacks.
Boom, boom, boom!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Spells and arrows rained down on the Undead Warriors, causing damage of four to five thousand points!
For an average level 40 Professional, dealing damage that could break through the defense of a level 45 lord monster would be a miracle.
This showed the strength of this elite team from the Tian Family, specially trained with millions invested by the old master Tian Ying to assist Zhang Yue in this mission!
The hundred-man team focused their attacks, quickly slaying one of the Undead Warriors with overwhelming power!
At this moment, Zhang Yue raised the Death’s Eye, locked onto the remaining two Undead Warriors, and began casting spells.
Heavenly Fire Scorches the Plains!
Frozen World!
Thunderous Might!
Divine Fire Catastrophe!
One S-rank skill after another bombarded the Undead Warriors, causing damage as high as 15,000 points each!
Meanwhile, the Dark Skeleton King charged into the fray.
The massive body of the Twelve-Winged Apocalyptic Black Dragon swooped down from the sky, spewing scorching flames from its bloody maw, engulfing the Undead Warriors and dealing around 20,000 damage, rapidly depleting their health!
In front of Zhang Yue.
Even the strongest Professionals created by the Tian Family with vast resources were insignificant.
With the combined focus fire from his teammates, they smoothly finished off the remaining two Undead Warriors.
After being slain, the Undead Warriors reverted from lord level to common level.
Thus, Zhang Yue and his team’s battle rewards were calculated based on level 45 common monsters.
They continued deeper into the Void Forbidden Zone.
All the Undead Warriors they encountered along the way were level 45 lord monsters evolved by the abyssal power!
In other words: there were no common monsters in the Void Forbidden Zone; challengers would face thousands of lord monsters, plus two BOSS-level rulers!
“I finally understand why no one in the world has completed this mission in the past hundred years!”
During the hunt for Undead Warriors, Infinity Sword Saint couldn’t help but sigh, “This is absolutely an impossible task for humans!”
At the beginning, it was manageable, with two or three Undead Warriors being relatively easy to kill.
But later on, the number of attacking Undead Warriors gradually increased to seven or eight, even a dozen!
Facing the simultaneous assault of over a dozen level 45 lord monsters, even this top-tier team composed of the strongest new Professionals from Zhening and Tianjing struggled to hold their ground.
After slaughtering over a hundred Undead Warriors.
At this moment, the team had over ten casualties!
Of course, this result was already considered good.
According to records, over 70% of teams entering the Void Forbidden Zone for this mission were wiped out within ten minutes…
Only 1% of challengers ever caught a glimpse of the Abyss Sovereign.
Zhang Yue and his team, taking an unconventional approach, fought their way to the undead army’s stronghold first.
At this point, the team’s casualty rate was nearly 30%.
The remaining seventy members faced the hundreds of Undead Warriors gathered at the stronghold, feeling a bit intimidated.
“Damn! A hundred lord monsters, how do we fight that?” Liu Yao swallowed hard, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said, “Maybe we should go after the Abyss Sovereign first? Without its enhancement, a hundred lord monsters would turn into a hundred common monsters, much easier to deal with!”
“Then you’d have to face a hundred lord monsters plus a BOSS at the same time.” Lin Tian said, “The Abyss Sovereign’s summoning power can gather all the Undead Warriors in the Void Forbidden Zone; this is knowledge gained from the sacrifices of previous Professionals.”
“So the strategy of prioritizing the undead army is correct.”
What followed was a bitter battle.
Facing hundreds of lord-level Undead Warriors.
The seventy remaining Professionals launched their attacks!
At the same time, Zhang Yue revealed the trump card he had been holding onto.
He activated the Grim Reaper Set skill: Summon Grim Reaper, Tila!
Using the level 40 six-star BOSS Tila to draw aggro and tank damage.
The rest went all out in their attacks.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Hundreds of Undead Warriors simultaneously ignited with purple ghostfire, all evolving into lord monsters.
This formation was enough to scare off thousands of troops!
But Zhang Yue’s side was equally formidable.
Elite, rare, epic, legendary, mythic-grade Professionals, all present!
Each individual’s strength was on par with a lord-level monster!
In this evenly matched situation.
After a ten-minute bloody battle, the undead army was finally annihilated.
But Zhang Yue’s team was reduced to thirty members!
After the undead army was wiped out.
Crash!
With a tremor in the ground, a massive spatial rift materialized in the air.
From the rift, a chilling aura emanated, as if something was about to emerge!
Zhang Yue looked at the rift and sighed softly, “The ultimate BOSS is finally coming.”
