Chapter 1688 Breakthrough Progress!

The sword formation transformed into a bolt of lightning, fiercely shooting towards the nearest ghost.

Sensing the threat, the ghost let out a silent shriek and raised its scythe to try and block.

However, lightning is naturally able to suppress evil. The moment the sword formation and the scythe came into contact, a blinding burst of lightning exploded. The ghost was so powerful that it couldn't even scream before being purified by the lightning and turning into a wisp of green smoke that it vanished.

[Gained 5000 points!]

"It works!" Ye Chuyun's spirits lifted.

The commotion immediately alerted the other ghosts, who all turned their heads, their eerie green flames flickering violently in their eye sockets, and then they let out a piercing shriek as they pounced on Ye Chuyun.

"Annoying." Ye Chuyun snorted coldly, and activated the [Myriad Transformations Spirit Armor]. A layer of light golden light appeared around her, isolating her from the soul screams.

At the same time, he formed hand seals, and the sword formation split, with nine sword spirits each wrapped in lightning, weaving and crisscrossing through the black mist.

Chi Chi Chi!

Wherever the lightning struck, the ghosts were annihilated in less than a second.

In just a few breaths, more than a dozen ghosts were wiped out.

Ye Chuyun sheathed her sword and continued deeper into the area.

The further you go in, the more numerous and powerful the ghosts become. At first, they were only at the initial stage of the Heavenly Rank, but later even the intermediate stage of the Heavenly Rank began to appear.

They can cast curse spells, slowing Ye Chuyun's movements and causing her to continuously lose life force.

However, none of these pose a real threat to Ye Chuyun.

With the blessing of the Holy Spirit Body, he had extremely high resistance to various negative statuses. Combined with the violent clearing of the field by the Thunder Sword Formation, he swept through the enemy and quickly reached the deepest part of the canyon.

This is a huge natural cave, and in the center of the cave is a throne made of countless white bones.

A figure sat on the throne.

It was clad in rusty dark gold armor, beneath which lay a black skeleton, devoid of flesh and blood. Two purple soul flames burned in the eye sockets of its head, and it held a giant sword wreathed in black energy.

The moment Ye Chuyun stepped into the cave, it slowly raised its head, and the purple soul fire locked onto him.

[Abyss Lord: Skeleton Tyrant (Peak Heavenly Rank)]

[Mastering the laws of death and shadow, possessing the ability to summon undead legions and unleash death curses]

[Warning: Within the territory of the Skeleton Tyrant, the strength of all undead creatures is increased by 30%]

"Another peak Heaven-level expert." Ye Chuyun gripped the sword spirit in his hand tightly.

Unlike the first Abyss Lord, the Skeleton Tyrant is clearly more intelligent.

"Intruder, die!"

A deep voice came from the skeletal tyrant as it slowly stood up, its greatsword pointing at Ye Chuyun.

The next second, the cave floor shook, and skeletons burst from the ground, transforming into skeletal warriors wielding swords and blades, their eye sockets igniting with eerie green flames.

In a short time, a legion of over a hundred skeletons formed, completely surrounding Ye Chuyun.

"Compare quantities?" Ye Chuyun's lips curled into a cold smile.

With a thought, three of his clones outside immediately abandoned their original missions and rushed towards the Black Mist Canyon.

At the same time, Ye Chuyun made the first move.

Lightning and flames intertwined on the sword's soul, transforming into a red and blue beam of light that blasted towards the densest part of the skeleton army.

Boom!

The violent explosion pulverized dozens of skeletons, sending bone fragments flying everywhere.

But even more skeletons surged forward fearlessly.

The Skeleton Tyrant was not idle either; it raised its greatsword, the tip pointing at Ye Chuyun.

"Death and Decay!"

An invisible wave of death spread out, and wherever it passed, the moss on the ground withered rapidly, and the rocks weathered and crumbled.

Ye Chuyun felt her life force slowly draining away. Although the rate was not fast, it would be troublesome if it continued.

"The World of Darkness!"

Ye Chuyun used the same trick again, and absolute darkness descended, enveloping the Skeleton Tyrant and the dozens of its strongest skeletons.

But this time, the results were not as good as expected.

The purple soul fire in the skeletal tyrant's eye sockets remained bright in the darkness, as if it could lock onto Ye Chuyun's location through some kind of death perception.

"Death cannot be concealed by darkness." The skeletal tyrant's voice echoed in the darkness.

With a slash of its giant sword, a sword beam wreathed in black death energy tore through the darkness and struck Ye Chuyun directly.

Ye Chuyun dodged to the side, the sword light grazing past her shoulder, leaving a deep, bottomless ravine in the ground, the rocks at the edge of the ravine quickly weathering and crumbling.

"This is a bit troublesome," Ye Chuyun frowned.

Just then, three clones arrived, rushed into the cave, and fought with the skeleton army on the outside, relieving the pressure on the main body.

"In that case, let's face it head-on."

Ye Chuyun no longer held back, and the [Elemental Domination] was activated at full power. The power of the nine elements flowed around him and finally converged on the sword soul.

The nine sword souls merged into one, transforming into a giant, seven-colored sword ten meters long. Nine-colored light flowed across the sword's surface, radiating a terrifying pressure with over a hundred million units of combat power.

Ye Chuyun has recently come to understand many deadly moves.

This move temporarily merges the nine elemental laws, unleashing destructive power far exceeding that of a single attribute.

The skeletal tyrant sensed a deadly threat. Its purple soul flames flickered violently as it raised its greatsword to block, while a black shield composed of countless wailing souls appeared around it.

The seven-colored giant sword clashed with the black shield.

The next second, the black shield shattered like glass, and the seven-colored greatsword, undeterred, struck the skeletal tyrant's greatsword.

The skeletal tyrant's greatsword broke in two, the tip spinning as it flew off and embedded itself in the rock wall.

The seven-colored giant sword, still wielding considerable power, slammed heavily into the skeletal tyrant's breastplate.

Click!

The skeletal tyrant was sent flying by the immense force, crashing into the bone throne behind him and embedding itself deeply into the rock wall.

The purple soul fire in its eye sockets had dimmed considerably, and several of its sternum bones were broken.

"Death...death...will never end..."

The skeletal tyrant struggled to stand up, but Ye Chuyun wouldn't give it the chance.

"The Spear of Eternal Silence!"

The spear appeared out of thin air, piercing through the skull of the Skeleton Tyrant and extinguishing the two purple soul flames.

[The Abyss Lord has been successfully defeated!]

[Gained 500000 points!]

[Gained +1000 Abyss Exploration Score!]

[Proof of Abyss Lord Slaying Obtained!]

The corpse of the Skeleton Tyrant turned into specks of light and dissipated, leaving behind three [Death Lord Cores], a pile of point orbs, and a conquest certificate token.

At the same time, without the lord's blessing, the remaining skeleton army fell apart and turned back into a pile of bones.

Ye Chuyun was slightly out of breath. This battle was more difficult than the previous one, as the Death Law of the Skeleton Tyrant was quite troublesome.

But the rewards were equally plentiful.

"The second lord." Ye Chuyun put away the spoils of war. "The score has reached two thousand, and the points have exceeded one million."

He sensed the situation of his clones.

The clone also reaped considerable rewards, snatching three more treasure chests and over a dozen medium-sized energy crystals, bringing its total points to over 300,000.

Meanwhile, the clone exploring the second level entrance has also made breakthrough progress.
