WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Under the automatic pursuit of the Deathlock, the Hellfire Demons within range were all pierced and killed.
Since Chen Zijin had already beaten them down to only 1 HP, as long as a Hellfire Demon was struck by the Deathlock, it was instantly slain.
At the same time, Zhang Yue activated Tier 2 Undead Summoning, calling out all the Death Servants stored in the Death Servant space.
At the current Tier 2 level, the maximum storage capacity of Death Servants had already reached 1000.
So far, Zhang Yue had already harvested enough Death Servants.
Within the space, 100 Tier 2 Death Servants with 110% blood purity, along with 900 ordinary Tier 2 Death Servants whose blood purity ranged between 100%–110%.
Having risen to Tier 2 in strength, all Death Servants had now mastered the [Execution] skill.
Only, those with blood purity less than 110% could only master Tier 1 Execution: dealing 300% attack damage to a single target.
But the full blood-purity Tier 2 Death Servants mastered Tier 2 Execution, which could deal 400% attack damage to a single enemy.
Under Zhang Yue's summoning, over a thousand Death Servants formed a massive army, launching an assault against the surrounding Hellfire Demons.
Facing the already crippled Hellfire Demons beaten down by Chen Zijin, the Death Servants practically killed them in one strike each.
During this time, every time a Hellfire Demon was killed, a new Death Servant was summoned at the corresponding spot.
Since the Death Servant count had already reached the maximum 1000, the newly summoned ones would automatically turn into fodder, provided for the existing Death Servants to devour, raising their blood purity.
Relatively speaking, although the strength of Tier 2 Death Servants had risen, at the same time, the difficulty of cultivation had also greatly increased.
The cultivation method remained the same: using high-purity Death Servants to devour low-purity ones, thereby increasing their own blood purity.
Previously, every time a Tier 1 Death Servant devoured another, it could gain a 0.1%–0.3% purity increase.
But now, each time a Tier 2 Death Servant devoured another of the same tier, the purity increase had dropped to the range of only 0.08%–0.1%.
Although the difficulty had risen sharply, from another angle, this also proved how precious the necromancer's exclusive specialty was.
After all, Tier 2 Death Servants were indeed much stronger than Tier 1.
With her Wrath Value maxed out, Chen Zijin's destructive power was practically world-ending.
Mainly, if it had been just the Wrath Source Stone, or just the God of Wrath set, it wouldn't have been this exaggerated.
But now, the two together meant that the Wrath Value boost effect Chen Zijin received was directly doubled.
This meant: at 500% Wrath Value, Chen Zijin could obtain a 1000% final all-attribute boost.
That's just absurd.
Of course, it couldn't be denied: Chen Zijin really did have a fiery temper.
Put on an ordinary person, they probably couldn't bring out such a powerful effect.
At most, maybe 200% Wrath Value, and that would be heaven-breaking.
But Chen Zijin's maximum had already broken past 500%+.
Besides, Chen Zijin's temper rose fast and faded fast.
In other words, when it was time to get angry, she got angry; when it was time to calm down, she calmed down.
She wouldn't keep clinging to something after the fact. As long as the battle was over, her anger could usually be soothed with just an egg tart + ice cream.
So, it's hard to say whether Chen Zijin's emotions were unstable, or actually very stable.
As facts proved: the God of Wrath set was indeed a perfect match for Chen Zijin.
Previously, when it was worn by the Apex Predator, Zhang Yue had inspected the stats, and the Wrath Value could at most reach 50%.
Besides the setting where Wrath Value increased all attributes, the growth of the God of Wrath set was also closely tied to Wrath Value.
The wearer could gain EXP for the set through attacks.
Once the EXP requirement was met, the set could star-upgrade.
And Wrath Value could provide extra EXP boosts.
Every 1% Wrath Value could be converted into an additional 1% EXP boost.
On Chen Zijin, with 500% Wrath Value, that meant every attack with the set granted her an extra 500% EXP.
Originally, each attack +5 EXP. Now, each attack +30 EXP.
This directly caused the God of Wrath set to upgrade at an astonishing speed.
From 12 stars when removed from the Apex Predator, until now, barely less than a single day later, it had already risen to 25 stars.
Like any equipment, the higher the star level, the harder later upgrades became.
At this rate, Chen Zijin's God of Wrath set quality would soon catch up to Zhang Yue's Transcendent set.
Following this trend, its future growth was simply unimaginable.
No matter how many Hellfire Demons there were, they could not withstand the devastation of a Mythic Shadow Dancer combined with the dual buffs of Wrath Source Stone + God of Wrath set.
Even without unleashing the forbidden spell skill, Thunder Wrath, Chen Zijin in just three minutes had crippled every single Hellfire Demon across the entire map.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yue's Death Servant army pressed forward without resistance, picking up the spoils, and slaughtering all the Hellfire Demons crippled by her.
["Ding~ Congratulations, you have completed the second-level challenge of the Tomb of the Empire instance. The third-level challenge will soon begin. Please prepare yourselves!"]
At the moment the system prompt rang out, Zhang Yue opened the Death Servant army status panel.
He saw that from the initial 100 Tier 2 full-blood-purity Death Servants, it had now increased to 158.
Even though the growth speed of Tier 2 Death Servants was low, they had just killed over 3000+ Hellfire Demons.
With Undead Summoning's 100% trigger rate, that meant 3000 new Death Servants had been summoned.
Using 3000+ Death Servants as fodder to raise 58 full-purity Tier 2 Death Servants, this was no easy task.
So next, the two of them immediately began the third round of the challenge.
Just like before, as the third-level challenge was about to begin, the surrounding environment began to change.
Looking around, the blazing flames on the ground all receded underground.
Right after, with a boom, a surge of icy air gushed out from beneath the earth.
The surrounding temperature dropped sharply.
The next moment, wisps of pale blue frost spread from underground to the surface, condensing into human knights holding ice spears.
["Ding~ The Tomb of the Empire's third-level challenge has begun. Please kill all monsters within 25 minutes to complete the challenge!"]
"Now the time limit's shortened!"
Following Chen Zijin's words, Zhang Yue observed the surrounding [Frost Knights] and said, "Not only that, the number of monsters has also increased."
Looking closely, one could see that among the Frost Knights refreshed on the field, most were ordinary level, but there also appeared quite a few lord-level Frost Iron Cavalry mounted on ice warhorses.
