Fist of the Raging Overlord, one of the strongest martial arts. By slamming the opponent against the ground, each punch produced a terrifying shockwave with a range of 30 yards.
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut was striking the dragon’s abdomen from within. Not only would she inflict direct damage this way, but the ensuing shockwave from each strike also completely struck Deathwing.
[-12546671]
[-435665]
[-677899]
…
After five punches, the tremors stopped. The Fist of the Raging Overlord was extremely taxing on energy. Her Territory Rank was much lower than Li Yi’s. At present, she could only afford five hits, nothing more.
“She’s alive? How is this possible?”
“Inconceivable! Unthinkable! Preposterous!” The Mountain never stopped bellowing.
“Do you wish she were dead?” Bai Xiaoya admonished.
“No, not that, but why isn’t she?”
“Yeah, weird.”
“It’s incredible…”
Her team had been at it for more than a month. Every time she went in its abdomen, she was immediately burned to death, but not this time.
The party panel showed that her HP was still rising steadily and quickly approaching 90%.
No one was healing her, how did her HP rise?
“This is beyond belief!” The Mountain uttered in frustration.
Boom! Boom!
The land shook once more, it would seem that her Fist of the Raging Overlord’s cooldown period had ended and was ready for use.
“Roar—”
Deathwing was severely wounded, it took to the air with a bellow of rage and came smashing down, attempting to destroy the woman in its stomach.
Boom! Boom!
Her HP fell a little before it rose again. Her punches were endless, a shockwave of gold could be seen from the exterior.
“This is a great humiliation to the great ancient dragon, human, and you shall pay!”
The burning head of the dragon rose high and everything went pitch black.
“Shattered Void!”
The infinite blackness lasted quite some time and before slowly dissipating. Deathwing had exhausted its power and was seen panting on the ground.
Boom! Boom!
The tremors started again, and Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s HP did not show signs of dropping. When the cooldown was over, she resumed her onslaught.
Deathwing’s Shattered Void was extremely overwhelming. With the current players’ level and strength, it was impossible to resist the damage. Only players like Li Yi and The Mountain, who knew how to release Territory light barriers, could stand a chance at stalling their inevitable demise.
Even those two could not endure it, much less Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut. She had not been injured solely because of her location.
Within the dragon’s abdomen, it was fire and brimstone.
Unless the dragon committed suicide by casting Shattered Void on itself, or she would be untouchable.
“Inconceivable! Inconceivable! Inconceivable!” The Mountain uttered brusquely once more.
“Brother, why do you say so?” Milky Way Star queried.
“Without my help, how could Purple be this powerful? This simply cannot be!”
Milky Way Star stared back in silence.
One had to withstand more than 100,000 fire damage per second in the dragon’s stomach, but she seemed to be above that law, based off the fact that she had not taken damage and her HP was still progressively increasing.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Fist of the Raging Overlord continued, and Deathwing roared helplessly as it lay on the ground.
…
Shattered Frost City, Li Yi’s humble abode.
His hands were filled with vivid lights as he was infusing the Wrath of the Stars.
Having failed several times, the Wrath of the Stars had lost its Holy attribute…
Freya kneeled beside Li Yi’s foot, humming, and massaging his legs with her dainty fists, revealing a beatific smile.
Li Yi waited until the completion of the Merland affair and summoned Freya. Regrettably, the little mermaid had not earned any more special skills but stayed the same.
[Congratulations, you have successfully infused your equipment. It is now Holy +1!]
[Congratulations, you have successfully infused your equipment. It is now Holy +2!]
[Congratulations, you have successfully infused your equipment. It is now Holy +4!]
[Congratulations, you have successfully infused your equipment. It is now Holy +8!]
[Congratulations, you have successfully infused your equipment. It is now Holy +16!]
[You have failed to infuse your equipment with a new attribute. The Holy Crystal vanishes…]
[Your equipment has lost its Holy attribute…]
“Motherf*cking—”
Li Yi cussed and picked up his Commander’s Boots and started infusing.
Any equipment could be infused, but Li Yi’s wanted only the Wrath of the Stars to succeed. From what the damned Goddess said during her many appearances, Li Yi surmised that if the bow accumulated a certain amount of Holy attribute points, the seal would be broken once more.
Even for that, Li Yi still had to upgrade the bow. As for the infusion of other pieces of equipment, it was merely to pad his hand.
The cheery notification noise kept ringing, and after a while, the Commander’s Boots became Holy +32.
Such fickle success rates, why couldn’t this happen to the bow?
Li Yi put on his boots and selected the Commander’s Belt for another round of infusion.
[Congratulations, you have successfully infused your equipment. It is now Holy +1!]
[Congratulations, you have successfully infused your equipment. It is now Holy +2!]
[Congratulations, you have successfully infused your equipment. It is now Holy +4!]
[Congratulations, you have successfully infused your equipment. It is now Holy +8!]
…
It was a continuous success. In the end, the Belt became Holy +32.
“F*cking hell…”
Li Yi felt even more discouraged. What he wanted to fail was a success, and what he wanted successful was not.
The Holy Crystals proved insufficient. Li Yi paused and went to the Auction House and bought another 100. He then returned home to pick up where he left off.
After a long period of torture and countless failures, his bow finally achieved Holy +16.
Li Yi did not hesitate and went on to upgrade the Holy +32 Commander’s Belt.
[You have failed to infuse your equipment with a new attribute. The Holy Crystal vanishes…]
[Your equipment has lost its Holy attribute…]
Li Yi then chose to upgrade the Holy +32 Commander’s Boots, and he was baffled.
[Congratulations, you have successfully infused your equipment. It is now Holy +64!]
“…Can’t you just fail?”
He only wanted to pad his hand and make way for a successful infusion of his bow, but his ‘expendables’ took all the glory instead.
“F*ck it, it’s now or never.”
Either go big or go home!
Li Yi’s hands glittered with magnificent colors as he continued to upgrade his Commander’s Boots. With a flash of light, a pair of Holy +128 Divine Super Boots appeared.
[Congratulations, you have successfully infused your equipment. It is now Holy +128!]
Holy +128!
The current Commander’s Boots exhibited a colorful glow on its surface, subtly glittering. Its radiance could draw out a thread of stars. They certainly were head and shoulders above the rest…
“We have hit the limit…”
Li Yi put the boots back on and made up his mind. He could use up all his Holy Crystals, but these boots would not be upgraded anymore.
Even if he did not upgrade his bow successfully this time, the boots were adequate enough to appease Li Yi.
If the bow was upgraded to +128, that damned Goddess would be able to break the seal, right?
Li Yi pictured the wonderful outcome and rushed to upgrade his Orange-colored Bow.
[You have failed to infuse your equipment with a new attribute. The Holy Crystal vanishes…]
[Your equipment has lost its Holy attribute…]
…
While Li Yi was experiencing ups and downs, a colorful announcement sped across the World Channel.
[Player Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut has achieved the first kill of Deathwing!]

…
A series of system announcements flooded the screen, shocking all players of King of Pantheon.
“Unbelievable!”
“How could this be…”
“Damn! Deathwing died, what happened there?”
“No way… what happened?”
“The Fluttering Snow Alliance is the new black!”
“Who and what the heck is a purple water chestnut?”
There was a commotion of shock and rumination in the World Channel.
“That chick really did it, but isn’t the price paid too disproportionate for this?”
Li Yi was not surprised. He smirked and carried on with his work on infusion.
The party had been fighting Deathwing for more than a month. Ignoring the levels lost during the process, the cash needed to cover the incidentals had to be astronomical.
In his past life, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut had not been so stubborn, was she affected by him?
While Li Yi was in deep thought his bow had risen to Holy +16.
…
Inside the Deathwing Dungeon.
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut drifted out of the carcass. Out of nowhere, she sneezed.
She turned to face away from her team and wiped her nose furtively. Why had she sneezed for no reason? She wondered.
The dragon was dead, allowing the release of souls. Since their leader could not do anything to save her team, they could only do a corpse run.
“We have succeeded,” Bai Xiaoya celebrated in a private message to the leader.
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut beamed. “Yes! It wasn’t easy, but I should be able to beat him this time,” she replied, clenching her fists.
“We have paid such a huge price. If it still doesn’t work, then maybe we should kamikaze ourselves into tofu.” Bai Xiaoya grinned.
“Now let’s see what equipment an Ancient-level Boss drops. I am so, so looking forward to it!” She added.
…
“Achoo!”
During the infusion, Li Yi sneezed, and there was a cheery beep. The Wrath of the Stars turned +32 Holy.
“Who’s talking behind my back?” He rubbed his nose.
Ding!
His Friends Panel flashed. It was Sister Windcloud Nine.
