ROAR! ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!
Amidst waves of deafening roars, from all directions, countless animals, after consuming vast amounts of Energy, evolved into gigantic monsters.
Instantly, dust filled the air.
They surged toward Zhang Yue like a tidal wave, with a momentum as if to swallow the heavens and destroy the earth.
Judging from the scale, this could definitely be classified as a first-level beast tide.
Starting the very first round of the challenge with a first-level beast tide.
It seems that this super god-level hidden quest with an 8888 difficulty coefficient is indeed no joke.
Under Zhang Yue's command using the Army Command Token, thousands of lv90 Undead Divine Guards, clad in silver armor and wings on their backs like angels, appeared around him.
The next moment, they raised their spears and charged at the approaching monsters.
Although their levels were the same, the Undead Divine Guards had a significant advantage over the surrounding lv90 ordinary wild monsters.
This innate superiority was evident because, long ago, this Divine Guard Corps under the king's command was tasked with overseeing the five major races.
As the elite royal guard of the king, the combat prowess of the Divine Guard Corps was astonishingly formidable.
They charged into the monster horde like a knife slicing through butter.
With their spears swinging, they struck down the monsters around them.
In the blink of an eye, the monsters at the forefront were all wiped out.
However, among those monsters were not just ordinary creatures but also numerous elite monsters and bosses.
While ordinary creatures were no match for the Undead Divine Guards, the elite monsters and bosses were powerful enough to overpower them.
Dozens of lv90 elite monsters and bosses ranging from 12 to 14 stars unleashed devastating attacks, tearing through the Divine Guard Corps.
On the battlefield, one after another, the Undead Divine Guards were devoured by the gigantic beasts and fell lifeless to the ground.
Yet, what was once a troublesome characteristic for Zhang Yue now became a saving grace for the Undead Divine Guards.
That was their resurrection ability.
Every time an Undead Divine Guard was killed, there was a 90% chance they would resurrect in place 10 seconds later.
With this trait, the fallen Undead Divine Guards kept resurrecting and rejoining the battle.
Of course, Zhang Yue didn't expect this Divine Guard Corps to complete the mission on their own.
After exhausting the surrounding beast tide with the Divine Guard Corps, under Zhang Yue's command, a Thirty-Six Winged Armageddon Black Dragon soared through the air.
It opened its massive jaws and unleashed scorching dragon flames, incinerating every monster in its path.
With 150-200 million AOE damage, the dragon flames ravaged the monsters' health bars.
Ordinary monsters with 5 million HP were obliterated after three rounds of attacks.
Only the elite monsters and bosses could withstand a bit longer.
They, however, became the prey of the Phantom Predator.
Sneaky ambushes were the Phantom Predator's specialty.
The elite monsters and bosses severely injured by the Armageddon Black Dragon were mercilessly finished off by the Phantom Predator.
Even though the Phantom Predator's solo harvest capability was limited, it didn't matter.
It had 15 clones!
The greatest strength of an assassin lies in its attack speed and single-target burst damage.
The Phantom Predator itself dealt 500 million damage per second, and each clone added 100 million damage per second.
This meant that the Phantom Predator and its clone army could deal over 2 billion DPS.
Even a 14-star boss with 1 billion HP wouldn't survive more than 5 seconds against the Phantom Predator.
And this was just its legendary-tier power.
Once the Phantom Predator evolved to mythical-tier in the future and unlocked its exclusive traits, its burst damage would reach unimaginable levels.
Under the relentless onslaught of the Phantom Predator, one boss after another fell.
While Zhang Yue orchestrated the pets and the Divine Guard Corps, he hadn't done anything himself. Yet, he constantly heard combat notifications in his ears.
[Ding~ You have killed lv90 Elite Monster [Tiger King], EXP +10 million, Energy +18 billion]
[Ding~ You have killed lv90 13-Star Boss [Tyrannosaurus Emperor], EXP +230 million, Energy +150 billion]
[Ding~ You have killed lv90 Elite Monster [Wild Gorilla]...]
In the later stages, beast tamers were practically the emperors of Otherworld.
A well-developed beast tamer was forever the most advantageous class.
Moreover, the benefits Zhang Yue received weren't just limited to what his pets provided.
He soon realized: perhaps because of his possession of the Army Command Token, all monsters slain by the Divine Guard Corps also credited their loot and EXP to him.
Initially, Zhang Yue was worried that the Undead Divine Guards might dilute his combat rewards.
Now, that concern was resolved.
Zhang Yue directly ordered the Undead Divine Guards to attack freely, commanding them to kill any monster in sight.
Under the slaughter of the Divine Guard Corps, the Armageddon Black Dragon, and the Phantom Predator, endless loot spilled from the corpses of the monsters.
In no time, the surrounding area was littered with drops.
It was no exaggeration to say that there wasn't even a spot left to step on.
At this moment, the Skeleton King finally had its role to play.
Zhang Yue assigned the Skeleton King to loot the battlefield.
When Zhang Yue opened the quest interface, he noticed something strange: despite so many monsters being killed, the mission progress hadn't moved at all.
The quest required collecting 100 Sources of Life.
Could it be that the Sources of Life weren't dropped by these monsters?
Just as Zhang Yue pondered this, a sudden commotion erupted ahead.
BOOM!
With a deafening explosion, dozens of Undead Divine Guards were blasted away in an instant.
As they landed, they were all instantly killed.
To simultaneously wipe out dozens of lv90 Undead Divine Guards—such devastating power was no ordinary monster's doing.
Looking ahead, Zhang Yue saw a creature resembling a ladybug at the center of the explosion—a Bomb Beetle.
SS-tier scouting revealed its details: [lv90 God-Level Boss]
Sure enough, a big boss had appeared.
A God-Level Boss was beyond what the Divine Guard Corps or the Armageddon Black Dragon could handle.
At this moment, Zhang Yue had to take action himself.
He grabbed his staff and advanced toward the Bomb Beetle.
Sensing Zhang Yue's hostility, the Bomb Beetle let out a bizarre "quack-quack" cry and launched a dozen bombs toward him.
With a quick Shadow Step, Zhang Yue dodged out of the bombing zone.
The next moment, the bombs exploded simultaneously, leaving the Skeleton King, who was unfortunately scavenging in the blast zone, charred and crispy.
Zhang Yue teleported into effective attack range, locked onto the Bomb Beetle, and rapidly began casting.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
A series of SS-tier single-target burst skills struck the Bomb Beetle.
However, despite its silly appearance, the God-Level Boss displayed sharp instincts.
Using the fog created by the explosions, it neutralized all of Zhang Yue's attacks.
When the smoke cleared, the Bomb Beetle had vanished.
Zhang Yue chuckled. "Child's play."
Knowing the Bomb Beetle was behind him, Zhang Yue remained calm.
Just as he turned, countless bombs flew toward him.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Dozens of bombs exploded around Zhang Yue, engulfing him in dense smoke.
The Bomb Beetle cackled eerily, as if certain its prey had been killed.
Yet, when the smoke cleared, Zhang Yue stood unharmed amidst the carnage.
"Your little tricks end here."
Raising his Transcendent Staff, Zhang Yue unleashed skill after skill, precisely predicting the Bomb Beetle's movements and striking it directly.
Utilizing shields generated by each 200 million+ damage skill, Zhang Yue quickly replenished his Void Shield, which the Bomb Beetle had just depleted.
Against the God-Level Bomb Beetle, there was no need for flashy maneuvers—just pure brute force.
In less than half a minute, Zhang Yue obliterated the Bomb Beetle.
[Ding~ You have killed lv90 God-Level Boss [Bomb Beetle], EXP +500 million, Energy +400 billion]
CRASH!
A heap of dazzling loot tumbled from the Bomb Beetle's corpse.
Among the spoils was a radiant silver seed.
