Trembling At A High Altitude

The others followed Li Bai as they charged forward.

Li Teng still hung back at the end.

After all, no one would accuse him of not pulling his weight.

As Li Bai approached within ten meters of the Ten-Turned Ghost King's throne, the Ghost King suddenly stood up.

Li Bai didn't rush to attack it, waiting instead for it to shed its battle armor and begin condensing the first Nether Ice Spear. Only then did he shout out, signaling everyone to attack with him.

It took the Ghost King merely a dozen seconds to condense the Nether Ice Spear.

Once the Nether Ice Spear was in hand, the Ghost King immediately launched a sweeping attack. Following Li Bai's warning, everyone else moved out of range, leaving only Li Bai to entangle with the Ghost King.

The Ghost King's attack speed was extremely fast, and its movement speed was also very swift, leaving Li Bai with almost no ability to resist, constantly jumping and dodging.

Several minutes later, the Ghost King stopped and hurled the Nether Ice Spear in its hand at Li Bai.

Li Bai dodged in time with a teleportation skill and then called the others to swarm up, taking advantage of the Ghost King's moment of condensing the second Nether Ice Spear. They took turns unleashing their skills, going all out in their offensive.

After the Ghost King's second Nether Ice Spear was condensed, Bald Qiang stepped in to spar with it, relieving Li Bai.

Li Teng's wrist vibrated slightly.

"Detection of known encryption algorithm."

"Decryption successful!"

"Life Resource Points acquired: 5,469 points."

"..."

"That's the Ghost King for you! Starting off with over five thousand points! Looks like I'm going to make a killing!"

These Life Resources were, to Li Teng, his very life.

And not just any life, but life at the peak of youth.

This was his main reason for coming here.

...

Under Li Bai's guidance, the first revolution took virtually no effort and they exhausted the Ghost King over time.

The Ghost King turned into a solid, egg-shaped mist sphere.

It exploded, dropping plenty of good loot, and everyone managed to grab a good share, ecstatic with joy.

"Decryption successful!"

"Life Resource Points acquired: 117,451 points."

"..."

"Soul Power Skill acquired: Netherworld Cold Ice LV25."

"Netherworld Cold Ice Skill has reached the Transformative Realm."

"Condensing Ghost Treasure: Nether Ice Spear LV1."

"..."

"Condensing Ghost Treasure: Nether Ice Spear LV3."

The Ghost King's Magical Treasure was called Ghost Treasure by the Death God APP, which humans couldn't use without corresponding Cultivation Techniques. This Ghost Treasure, condensed from Soul Power, had the same power as a Magical Treasure but wasn't a Magical Treasure in the true sense.

Second Revolution of the Ghost King: Hellfire Bomb.

After the Ghost King's Hellfire skill reached the Transformative Realm, it could condense Hellfire Bombs from Soul Power. The bombs were like grenades, exploding on impact and covering a radius of four to five meters.

The tactics for the Second Revolution were similar to the first, but the difficulty had at least doubled.

While sparring with it, both Li Bai and Bald Qiang were hit by the explosions a couple of times. Fortunately, their defenses allowed them to withstand the blasts.

Li Teng reaped a great amount of Life Resources and the ability to condense Hellfire Bombs LV3.

Third Turn of the Ghost King: Ghost Fire Dragon Transformation.

Once the Ghost King's Ghost Fire skill reached the Transformative Realm, it could use Soul Power to turn Ghost Fire into a Fire Dragon. With one move, a dozen-meter-long Fire Dragon was created, burning continuously for over ten seconds along its path before exploding, causing secondary damage.

The difficulty increased once more.

Li Bai had informed everyone of this boss phase's weakness in advance, and after a tough fight, the Ghost King transformed back into a mist egg.

Li Teng harvested a large amount of Life Resources and the level 3 Ghost Flame Dragon Transformation skill.

Fourth Turn of the Ghost King: Netherworld Electric Array.

After the Ghost King's lightning skill reached the Transformative Realm, it could use Soul Power to condense the lightning into walls or arrays. Those enveloped would be paralyzed within these electric barriers, then take continuous damage.

The difficulty level rose once again.

Li Bai still knew the weakness of this phase, and after another tough fight, the Ghost King turned back into a mist egg.

Li Teng harvested a large amount of Life Resources and the level 3 Netherworld Electric Array skill.

Fifth Turn of the Ghost King: Summon Ghost General.

The difficulty of the fifth turn significantly surpassed that of the fourth.

Once the Ghost King's summoning skill reached the Transformative Realm, it could summon Ghost Generals. With each level increase, an additional Ghost General could be summoned.

These Ghost Generals were the Warrior-type Evil Ghost Bosses and Ranged Evil Ghost Bosses from before.

First, the Ghost King summoned one Warrior-type Evil Ghost and one Ranged Evil Ghost before disappearing from the central hall.

This was essentially the same as the previous boss fight.

After defeating them, the Ghost King would briefly appear and summon two Warrior-type Evil Ghosts and two Ranged Evil Ghosts.

Then, three Warrior-type Evil Ghosts and three Ranged Evil Ghosts.

Until five Warrior-type Evil Ghosts and five Ranged Evil Ghosts.

After defeating them all, the Ghost King would reappear, but it wouldn't fight again and would directly turn into a mist egg.

There were no weaknesses to exploit in this stage.

Li Bai forcibly broke through this stage, sacrificing over a dozen Magical Treasures.

One could tell it caused him great distress.

Li Teng then harvested a large amount of Life Resources and acquired the level 10 Summon Ghost General skill!

This meant he could now summon ten Ghost Generals at any given time!

Sixth Turn of the Ghost King: Enhanced Nether Ice Spear.

The sixth turn was somewhat similar to the first, but now the Ghost King's Nether Ice Spear Magical Treasure had reached level 10.

Additionally, the Ghost King had added a self-healing skill in this stage.

The Ghost King's healing skill had reached the Transformative Realm, manifesting a Healing Orb in the air, moving with it, and continuously healing.

The difficulty was at least several times higher than the first turn.

Naturally, the battle lasted much longer than the first turn did.

Li Bai's tactic was for the others to hold off the Ghost King while he and Bald Qiang worked quickly to shatter the Healing Orb, preventing the Ghost King from being healed too much.

Then, while the Ghost King was conjuring the Nether Ice Spear and the Healing Orb, they would focus fire and output full damage.

By the end of this phase, Li Teng had also covertly acquired the level 10 Nether Ice Spear and level 3 Healing Orb abilities.

The seventh turn was similar to the second, but with the Hellfire Bomb Magical Treasure upgraded to level 10, the Healing Orb Magical Treasure to level 7, and the addition of Invisibility Teleportation after reaching the Transformative Realm.

While invisible, the Ghost King could still continue to receive the Healing Orb's effects, but Li Bai and the others couldn't attack it, only the Healing Orb.

The Ghost King would only emerge from invisibility when launching an attack.

The difficulty doubled once again.

Li Bai's face turned somewhat pale as he sacrificed over a dozen Magical Treasures, finally clearing this turn with Bald Qiang's assistance.

At the end of this stage, Li Teng had also learned all the corresponding skills of the Ghost King.

The Eighth Revolution involved a level 10 electric wall, level 10 Healing Orb, level 10 Invisibility Teleportation, and the addition of the Bloodsucking Trap skill after the Bloodsucking Technique had reached the Transformative Realm.

The Ghost King could randomly create several Bloodsucking Traps on the ground or in midair. Passing nearby would cause one to be trapped and take continuous damage, while the Ghost King would regenerate HP in a certain ratio.

The difficulty of this stage could only be described as sadistic.
