With a thought from Jiang Chen, the 40 skeleton soldiers vanished instantly, as if merging into the void. Immediately afterwards, a tall and imposing Skeleton King appeared on the Skeleton Throne.
The Skeleton King exuded a chilling aura, and its appearance shook the entire instance. Jiang Chen's vision once more conjured the world of death and undead, as if he were standing on its very edge.
The Skeleton King slowly rose from his throne, his blood-red cloak of bones fluttering in the wind, adding to the eeriness of this terrifying world. The surrounding monsters seemed to sense an unprecedented pressure, letting out uneasy roars.
The Skeleton King's gaze locked onto the Sky Mountain Warhawk in mid-air. It suddenly swung its massive bone sword. A dazzling sword light ripped through the sky like a falling meteor, instantly engulfing the Sky Mountain Warhawk. The Sky Mountain Warhawk didn't even have time to utter a cry before it vanished into nothingness within the sword light.
"Killed a level 66 Tianshan Warhawk, experience +13200000"
A system notification sounded, and Jiang Chen gained a whopping 1320 million experience points. He understood that the Heavenly Mountain Divine Palace dungeon was known as a holy land for leveling up primarily because of its abundant experience points.
As the first monster fell, a giant hourglass emerged from the depths of the dungeon. This hourglass was similar to the one in the lower-level dungeon, but its flow was significantly faster. Jiang Chen knew he needed to clear this dungeon within the next eight hours to qualify for the higher-level dungeons.
For other teams, these eight hours might be a huge challenge, but for Jiang Chen, the time limit seemed more than enough. He believed that with the Skeleton King's formidable strength and his own tactical arrangements, he could easily handle the challenges ahead.
The Skeleton King swung his sword again, and the Heavenly Mountain War Bear and the Heavenly Mountain War Python fell one after another. Three sword strikes, and three boss-level monsters were easily slain. Jiang Chen knew that this wasn't because the monsters in the Heavenly Mountain Divine Palace were too weak, but because the Skeleton King's strength was simply too great.
He rode the Skeleton King deeper into the dungeon. Like the initial dungeon, the mid-level dungeon's terrain was also a continuous mountain range. Covered in snow, a silver-white landscape, it was impossible to distinguish between the dungeon's interior and exterior, or the main peak of the Tianshan Mountains.
Jiang Chen stood in mid-air, looking down at the clouds and mist below. The clouds and mist swirled, obscuring the foot of the mountain. A strange feeling welled up in his heart, as if the mountain in this instance was more mysterious and more spiritual than the real Tianshan Mountain.
The mountain peaks were also shrouded in clouds and mist, their tips hidden and difficult to see. This Heavenly Mountain was divided into three sections: the initial, intermediate, and advanced sections, which seemed to slice the entire mountain into different spaces. Jiang Chen was currently in the intermediate section, halfway up the mountain, experiencing the peculiar feeling of the dungeon being integrated with the main peak. He stepped into this area without hesitation, instantly causing a riot among the surrounding monsters.
A massive horde of monsters roared and charged forward, but were firmly held back by Jiang Chen's undead army. The Skeleton King stood at the forefront, each swing of its sword accompanied by the fall of a boss-level monster. So far, the Skeleton King hadn't even used any skills; its basic attacks alone were enough to sweep away these monsters.
Other teams often had to proceed with extreme caution when facing these boss-level monsters, managing to take only a few at a time. But Jiang Chen was different; he seemed to treat this area as his hunting ground, attracting a large number of monsters.
"Let's try out the skills!" Jiang Chen thought to himself and gave the order to the Skeleton King.
Skill: Godslayer!
This is a skill that can target both single targets and areas. When the Skeleton King activates the Godslayer skill, countless sword energies burst forth from its sword tip, instantly covering a large area. The snow on the mountain peaks was swept up by the sword energies and then cleaved away.
After the sword strike, a large area in front of the Skeleton King was cleared, and all the monsters within a radius of four or five hundred meters were wiped out. Jiang Chen's experience points increased rapidly; at least a hundred boss-level monsters had been eliminated with this one sword strike.
"The power is really impressive!" Jiang Chen was pleasantly surprised and very satisfied with the Skeleton King's performance.
The group continued forward, and soon a large number of monsters charged in from all directions. Jiang Chen looked at these monsters and gave another order.
Skill: Elemental Chaos!
The Skeleton King locked onto a kilometer-long area ahead, its will firmly binding all monsters within that range. The ensuing scene was breathtaking: the elements within that area began to riot, storms, fire, frost, and other elemental forces intertwining to create a devastating catastrophe. The crimson cloak behind him suddenly glowed, releasing an eerie light, and in an instant, the elements within the locked area began their frenzied rampage. Amidst a deafening roar, a massive mushroom cloud rose into the sky, engulfing the entire area.
Under the impact of this elemental chaos, the snow was instantly evaporated, revealing the dark ground below. The power of the explosion was astonishing, yet the Tianshan Mountains were exceptionally resilient, only forming a small crater less than ten meters wide and two meters deep at the center of the blast.
Jiang Chen was astonished by the sheer hardness of the Tianshan mountain range; its solidity far exceeded his expectations. From the moment he entered the dungeon, he had sensed the extraordinary nature of this mountain range, and now he was even more convinced of it.
The Skeleton King's Elemental Rage skill not only demonstrated astonishing destructive power but also brought Jiang Chen a wealth of experience. Since entering the dungeon, his experience points have increased by 1.5%, and the dungeon is only halfway through.
After testing the Skeleton King's two skills, Jiang Chen was very satisfied with the undead general's performance. He found himself seemingly becoming a complete spectator, no longer needing to personally join the battle.
The Skeleton King displayed unparalleled combat prowess, excelling in both one-on-one duels and group battles. His ability to unleash skills once per minute made him a ruthless killing machine on the battlefield. Most of the undead legion could only watch from the sidelines as the Skeleton King displayed his prowess.
Led by the Skeleton King, the team swept through the dungeons with unstoppable momentum, leaving no monster in their way. For other players, dungeons filled with boss-level monsters were a tremendous challenge, requiring them to proceed with extreme caution. But for the Skeleton King, it was all a piece of cake.
Finally, a majestic fortress came into view. Atop the fortress, a colossal creature coiled, radiating a powerful aura. Jiang Chen knew they had reached the end of the dungeon.
He glanced at the hourglass at the dungeon entrance; less than a fifth of the time had passed since he entered. They had not only efficiently cleared the monsters within the dungeon, but also had ample time to challenge the final boss. There were still 5 minutes left until the half-hour period ended.
This time, the dungeon run was even faster than the initial stage, and the efficiency was astonishing. Experience points had already soared to 3.9%, and Jiang Chen estimated that after defeating the boss, this number would easily surpass 4%. This leveling speed was simply breathtaking.
Each run of a dungeon grants a 4% experience gain. At this rate, he only needs 25 runs to level up, which won't even take a day. This is much easier than when he leveled up from 59 to 60.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but mutter to himself, "As expected of one of the fastest leveling dungeons, the experience is indeed plentiful."
If other teams were to run this dungeon, each person would only gain approximately 0.2% experience. This means they would need to run it 500 times to level up. If relying solely on this dungeon for leveling, even running it once a day, it would still take nearly two years.
However, this was not a problem for Jiang Chen at all. With the powerful assistance of the Skeleton King, his leveling speed was naturally astonishingly fast.
He looked up at the top of the fortress, where a gigantic monster lay prostrate—the boss of this dungeon. It resembled a majestic lion, its height exceeding ten meters even when crouching. The boss's aura was incredibly powerful; each breath stirred up swirling blizzards.
Jiang Chen could sense the power of this BOSS. As a level 65 dungeon BOSS, its attributes were probably on par with those of a lord-level BOSS of the same level. For a typical 24-person team, dealing with such a BOSS would undoubtedly be a huge challenge.
But before the Skeleton King, this boss seemed utterly vulnerable. The Skeleton King had already taken to the air, charging directly towards the boss. He didn't even bother using a detection spell to check the boss's details.
The Skeleton King gave the boss no chance to awaken. His longsword suddenly glowed, and he unleashed a single-target skill: Godslayer!
A massive sword aura, a thousand meters long, shot out from the Skeleton King's hand, directly striking the fortress where the BOSS was located. Wherever the sword aura passed, the fortress and the BOSS were reduced to fragments.
"Defeat the Tianshan Lion King, experience +9000000000"
Title Obtained: Lonely God of War
"Obtain the Lion King Greatsword"
"Obtain the Lion King Armor"
As the system notification sounded, Jiang Chen's gains were substantial. He not only received a large amount of experience points, but also acquired valuable titles and equipment.
