As Lu Ming executed a Sword Draw, he slew dozens of Millennium Tree Demons, each with all attributes enhanced tenfold at level 50.
At this moment, Li Wan-ning, who had been worried about Lu Ming's safety, was left with her mouth agape, her face full of shock.
Lu Ming was quite satisfied with the damage he inflicted. Not only did the skill's damage double compared to when it was at C-level, but more importantly, as he had anticipated, the spsh attack from Sword Draw could indeed benefit from Comprehensive Amplification and the skill's enhancement effects.
The spsh attack evolved from targeting a single enemy to affecting up to 70 targets!
What was once a single-target skill had now evolved into an area-of-effect skill!
Moreover, an additional effect was added: "Sword Draw now grants extra proficiency points for each kill, greatly enhancing the efficiency of gaining skill proficiency!"
Just now, with one Sword Draw, aside from the fixed 1 point of proficiency, Lu Ming killed 16 tree demons, gaining an extra 16 proficiency points!
This meant that from this Sword Draw alone, he gained a total of 17 proficiency points!
"If it were an ordinary person, even achieving a double kill with one Sword Draw would only yield a maximum of 3 proficiency points; but if I maximize the kills, I can gain up to 71 proficiency points with one Sword Draw!"
Thinking this way, considering that upgrading the Sword Draw skill to A-level requires 1 million proficiency points, a tenfold increase from the previous level, it seemed trivial!
As the Sword Draw skill leveled up, Lu Ming's Undead Legion also experienced a significant boost.
The increased attack power and skill enhancement effects from Sword Draw applied to all of Lu Ming's formations, making them stronger and thus enhancing the strength of the Undead Legion!
However, relying solely on the boosts from the Sword Draw skill was far from enough to deal with a Tier 2 ghost general.
Lu Ming knew, "To confidently take down Blood Moon Warrior Gu, I need to reach level 50!"
With all formations receiving a boost, the speed at which the Undead Legion killed monsters also increased.
Late at night, past eleven.
A map announcement echoed in his ears—
[Ding~ The total number of Millennium Tree Demons killed has reached 100,000. The tenth level of Medicine King Valley has been cleared!]
As the system notification ended, a rumbling sound filled the air.
Suddenly, the vast forest shook violently.
Lu Ming had a premonition: the ultimate boss guarding the Medicine King Valley map was about to spawn!
But truth be told, Lu Ming felt a tinge of worry.
"The ultimate boss of a map like Medicine King Valley won't be weak, at the very least a gold-tier, possibly even a gold-tier like the guardian boss of the Goblin Kingdom!"
Under normal circumstances, facing a level 50 gold-tier boss, Lu Ming wouldn't have to worry.
Because his current strength was more than enough to crush a boss of that level.
But on this map, monsters had additional attribute boosts.
A level 50 gold-tier boss appearing on the tenth level of Medicine King Valley, with tenfold attribute enhancement, would surpass a fully realized Tier 2 ghost general!
Even with Lu Ming's current capabilities, it was impossible to handle.
As Lu Ming hesitated, the tremors beneath his feet ceased.
Everything seemed to return to calm.
Yet, Lu Ming faintly sensed a dark aura of death emanating from deep within the forest!
Thus, Lu Ming dispatched several Undying Demon Emperors to investigate while he remained on standby.
After all, if a gold-tier boss with tenfold enhancement truly appeared, going there would be suicidal for Lu Ming.
"Let's see what's going on. If it's indeed a gold-tier boss with tenfold enhancement, I'll retreat to the ninth level, reach level 50, and then come back to kill it."
A gold-tier boss with tenfold enhancement would be about as strong as a fully realized Tier 2 ghost general.
Once Lu Ming reached level 50, he could use it as a test.
If he could kill this boss, it would mean he could also defeat a Tier 2 ghost general.
While Lu Ming was contempting this, through the Shared Vision of the Undying Demon Emperors, he didn't see any sign of the boss.
Instead, he discovered a massive abyssal rift deep within the forest!
According to Lu Ming's memory, this rift shouldn't exist.
"Could it be that the commotion from the map earlier caused this rift?"
Considering that the map fragments of the Imperial Seal were likely buried in Medicine King Valley, and Lu Ming had searched from the first to the tenth level without finding them, he specuted, "Could the fragments be in this rift?"
After all, it was crucial to the Imperial Seal of Great Xia.
Any chance, no matter how small, couldn't be missed.
Lu Ming decided to personally approach the rift.
The bottomless dark rift exuded an overwhelming dark aura, suffocating anyone who approached.
This aura felt familiar to Lu Ming and, as an Agent of the Gods, posed a significant threat to him!
Ghostly creatures were particurly sensitive to the aura of the divine.
Simirly, the divine were sensitive to the aura of ghostly creatures.
At this moment, Lu Ming deeply sensed, "This is... the aura of ghostly creatures!"
"This is the sealed pce of ghostly creatures!"
Moreover, Lu Ming could feel that the ghostly aura beneath the abyss was extremely dense!
Far surpassing any Tier 1 ghost beast or Tier 2 ghost general he had encountered before!
"What kind of ghostly creatures are lurking here?"
Shocked, as Lu Ming prepared to further explore the rift, he heard a rustling sound behind him.
Through the Shared Vision of the nearby Undying Demon Emperors, Lu Ming was astonished to see a colossal devouring python slithering from the forest behind him!
Turning around, Lu Ming saw the python, as thick as a train, its entire body a golden yellow, with eyes glowing a ghostly blue, and a tongue like a scarlet trident!
Above its head, a blood-red ID came into view—
[Golden Devouring Python] (Lv50 Physical Type · Gold-tier BOSS)!
Seeing this boss, Lu Ming's heart skipped a beat.
"It really is a gold-tier boss!"
Using Reconnaissance to check the Golden Devouring Python's stats, Lu Ming felt a chill down his spine.
As he suspected, the Golden Devouring Python had the tenfold enhancement buff of the tenth level of Medicine King Valley.
Over 600,000 attack power!
Over 400,000 armor and magic resistance!
Over 380,000 speed!
Over 30 million health points!
It completely rivaled a Tier 2 ghost general of the same level!
At this moment, the Golden Devouring Python locked onto Lu Ming and unched an attack.
Roar—
With a deafening roar, the Golden Devouring Python opened its massive maw, lunging at Lu Ming!
Boom!
In the nick of time, Lu Ming swiftly leaped aside, evading the boss's deadly attack.
With a thought, he commanded, "Attack."
From all directions, dozens of Undying Demon Emperors locked onto the Golden Devouring Python and unched their assault!
Soul Shatter!
Soul Ssh!
Swish, swish, swish, swish!
Against such a massive creature, the attacks of the Undying Demon Emperors easily hit their mark.
-23,652! -31,119!
-23,652! -31,119!
-23,652! -31,119!
...
Seeing the minuscule damage numbers popping up above the Golden Devouring Python's head, even Li Wan-ning in the rear couldn't help but widen her eyes.
"Such high defense! Even Nether brother's undead can't harm it!"
The Golden Devouring Python, with its tenfold enhancement, had incredibly high armor.
Even with Lu Ming's War Tread providing a 350,000 attack power boost and Prison of Earth's 50,000 armor reduction, the Undying Demon Emperors could barely break through its defenses!
It proved that:
"Before reaching level 50, I truly can't contend with enemies of the Tier 2 ghost general level!"
"It seems I must wait until I reach level 50, upgrade the three major talents to Lv6, and undergo a transformation!"
With this in mind, Lu Ming pnned to follow his original pn, retreat to the ninth level of Medicine King Valley, level up to 50, and then return to the tenth level to sy the Golden Devouring Python and further explore the secrets of the rift.
However, the Golden Devouring Python seemed unwilling to let go of the prey that had come to its doorstep.
