Various spells, divine skills, and magic treasures poured down like a torrential rain! Colorful lights illuminated the entire void!

On top of the white-robed Taoist’s head, damage numbers began to emerge crazily.

The blood volume began to decline at a slow but steady pace.

Everything was going so smoothly.

million... 300 million... 290 million...

Watching the long blood bar shorten little by little, hope rose in everyone’s hearts!

We can do it!

Maybe we really can do it!

million... 270 million... 260 million...

However—

Just when the blood volume dropped to 240 million, the white-robed Taoist suddenly snorted coldly.

This was the first sound he made since the beginning of the battle.

The sound wasn’t loud, yet it exploded in everyone’s ears like thunder!

"Be careful! It’s the second stage!"

The full-time expert shouted in the team channel!

Everyone was already on high alert!

In typical games, the difficulty of a boss fight increases significantly when transitioning phases. But what will this Demon Lord’s "second phase" be like?

The figure of the white-robed Taoist suddenly disappeared!

In the next second—

An immense voice came from all directions!

The voice was ancient and majestic, yet devoid of any emotional change, strangely mechanical.

"Mayflies shake the tree, ignorant of its height and thickness!"

"Well frogs look at the sky, unaware of the universe’s mysteries!"

"Fireflies compete with the sun and moon!"

"Now witness the true essence—souls scattered!"

Everyone looked up, instantly stunned—

A white-robed Taoist, as huge as a planet, stood in the void behind them!

The visual shock from micro to macro made everyone feel a strong fear of giant objects!

The white-robed Taoist gently raised his hand—

Five towering pillars enveloped everyone!

They were his five fingers!

Space pressed in from all directions!

Xiao Jie’s heart tightened, not good! That move again!

So, this is the second phase skill?

Last time it was triggered prematurely for unknown reasons.

"Quickly! Everyone try to break it!" The full-time expert’s voice remained calm.

This battle was destined to fail. But even if it fails, we must accumulate more experience!

Everyone immediately displayed their divine skills—

Someone used tunneling light, attempting to fly out of the confined space!

Someone used space immortal technique, trying to tear the void apart to escape!

Someone tried to attack the giant fingers, attempting to blast open a breach!

Someone tried to use substitute spell, replacing the body to a distant place...

But it was all to no avail; in just a few seconds, the five fingers closed in, and the space pressed in from all directions!

The feeling was like the entire universe collapsing towards the center! No matter which direction you fly, you’re flying towards the center! No matter what spell you use, it’s like a mud cow entering the sea!

Poom poom poom poom poom poom poom—!!!

A series of explosions!

Forty-three Daluo Golden Immortals turned into a sky full of blood mist simultaneously!

Instant kill!

A flash of white light.

Xiao Jie crawled out from the Four Symbols Divine Cauldron.

He thought to himself, transforming into clothes, turning around to see—the others also crawled out of the cauldron one after another.

The hall became lively immediately.

"Damn it! This boss is too impossible, what kind of ghost skill is this?! My Star River Escape Light couldn’t fly out!"

"My Qiankun Great Shift doesn’t work either!" Another player complained, "Completely confined, can’t teleport at all!"

People complained eagerly; some were frustrated, some were depressed, some were swearing.

But the full-time expert appeared quite happy.

He stood by the cauldron, smiling, and clapped his hands:

"Don’t be discouraged, everyone! We defeated the first stage on our first attempt, this is a huge success! And from the looks of it, dropped 80 million after 320 million blood volume—this suggests this boss likely has a total of four stages!

Our first attempt already equates to having finished a quarter of the Demon Lord, how smooth is that."

Xiao Jie was speechless, this guy knows how to find silver linings. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"240 million enters phase transition, so the third stage should be 160 million? The fourth stage 80 million?" Someone asked.

"Close enough." The full-time expert nodded, "Following this pattern, each stage drops 80 million blood. We did pretty well in the first stage, which means as long as we coordinate well, the output is enough."

He looked at the time: "It’s only 9 o’clock in the morning. Let’s quickly recover, and try twice more before noon!"

Everyone responded.

Even though they just died once, everyone present as gaming experts knew clearly—defeating such a high-level boss won’t be easy without dying dozens to hundreds of times.

Already prepared for dying dozens to hundreds of times.

Died? Then try again.

Although the feeling of dying is somewhat uncomfortable, as long as you don’t really die, it’s all good.

Everyone has been through this; this was just a team wipe once, just getting started.
