Chapter 817 Heaven and Earth Piercing Fist

Right before everyone's eyes, the dog-headed lord's health was restored to full!
"How is this possible?!" Yingzhou's peak-level Chiyo exclaimed in surprise, "Could this be a Grandmaster-level Light Magic, Soul Purification and Rebirth?"

"It can instantly dispel all negative effects, instantly restore all health points, and there is no limit to how much it can be restored!"

"How long is the cooldown time for this thing?" the others asked. Chiyo, who specialized in light magic, knew the most about it.

Chiyo stepped forward and shouted to Luo Jun in the distance, "This light magic can only be used once a day."

"Only once..." Luo Jun snorted coldly, "Then I'll just fight again!"

With that, he accelerated and charged forward, launching another relentless attack on the dog-headed lord!
In the fierce battle, the dog-headed lord's health was quickly depleted again. Just when Luo Jun thought victory was in sight, another white light appeared, and the guy's health was instantly restored to full!
"Didn't you say it could only be used once a day?" Luo Jun was stunned when he was chopped away by the dog-headed lord's axe, and he tumbled in the air before finally coming to a stop.

"Could it be a refresh ability?" Luo Jun frowned. "Then let's try again!"

He activated his Leaping Moon Step and charged forward again, finally reducing the opponent's health bar once more. However, at the crucial moment, that strange white light shone again, and the lord was restored to full health!
"This is not scientific..." Luo Jun said angrily, "No... this is not magic! How can there be such a powerful magic without any cooldown time?"

However, the enemy didn't explain anything to him and charged at him again, brandishing their axes.

This trade-off tactics are also reducing Luo Jun's health. Although it may not seem like much compared to his massive total health, the high frequency of the battles allows the damage to accumulate. If his opponent can truly regenerate indefinitely, then the accumulated damage will eventually wear him down.

This is illogical; it shouldn't have this ability. Over 100 million HP, and it can be fully restored at any time without cooldown. With a lord like this in charge, the fiftieth floor is practically unconquerable... What's even more terrifying is that this guy is completely immune to magic. I couldn't even use magic-suppressing or silencing spells to limit him...

Wait a minute... Luo Jun, in the midst of the battle, suddenly noticed a problem.

Since the opponent is completely immune to magic, how could they possibly be healed by light magic? If they are immune to magic, they should be immune to both buffs and debuffs.

Does this mean that this guy is only immune to negative effects, but can absorb all positive effects?

With that in mind, Luo Jun decided to give it a try. He took advantage of a lull in the battle to cast a Swift Blessing on the lord!
This move could significantly increase movement and attack speed, but the magic wave was immediately deflected after it hit, and had no effect at all!

Luo Jun tried healing spells, divine power spells, and so on. Whether it was increasing health, attack, or armor, all the buff spells had no effect on this dog-headed lord.

No, it's complete magic immunity; neither buffs nor debuffs have any effect on it!
So what exactly is this recovery process?

It can only be some kind of mechanism outside of magic. What could it be?
While Luo Jun was locked in combat with the dog-headed lord, the others watched the battle with bated breath.

"Hey? Have you guys noticed something's off?" Mulan Shi suddenly said, "Those monsters that used to keep respawning seem to have stopped appearing!"

After she reminded them, the others also noticed.

"Indeed, they used to emerge from the sand every moment, even seemingly conjuring up out of thin air, but now they seem to be completely absent. The entire desert is empty, save for the two figures fighting..."

Just as everyone was wondering, the entrance behind them suddenly lit up. When they turned around, they saw a large group of mercenaries spawn. Leading them was the blond old man who had been meeting with Emberty earlier. His name was Zoron, the Grand Commander and Supreme Commander of the official conquest army.

"You've come up?" The Ice Queen greeted them.

Zoron nodded: "The monsters down below suddenly disappeared for some reason. Let's come up and check the situation."

Behind him followed several other deputy commanders besides Emberty. According to the Ice Queen's estimation, in the rules of the [Game], these individuals all possessed abilities close to, or even comparable to, Ascension.

"Is it the same below?" The Ice Queen frowned, looking at the dog-headed lord fighting Luo Jun in the distance, his health bar constantly bouncing.

"The lord has indeed appeared!" Zoron frowned. "Who is fighting it? They are incredibly strong!"

"Indeed, this is the first time we've ever seen such a reckless fighting style!" The others exclaimed in amazement. "How high is his resistance? He was hit by a lord-level monster and only lost a tiny bit of health?"

"The lord is even more amazing, how can his health recover so quickly?"

Just then, the Ice Queen suddenly noticed that a sandworm's head had suddenly emerged from somewhere in the desert. But before she could see it clearly, it suddenly turned into data and disappeared. Meanwhile, the white light on the dog-headed lord's body was constantly shining, and its health bar was recovering at an extremely high speed.

"So that's how it is!" The Ice Queen's eyes lit up, and she shouted to Luo Jun, "Night, the energy it regained was absorbed from the life force of other monsters!"

Absorb the monster's life force?

Luo Jun also noticed the barren desert, but he felt it wasn't that simple. If it were just about absorbing the monsters' life force, it should have no energy left to regenerate since it had already drained every last one of them…

Its recovery may be related to those monsters, but it's not simply absorption.

Whatever it may be, Luo Jun has already come up with a possible solution.

"Ice Queen! Do me a favor!"

While fighting, Luo Jun shouted, "Freeze this guy for me!"

"Freeze him?" The Ice Queen frowned. "He seems to be completely immune to magic. Even if I use my ice magic... it will be greatly weakened. Even if I can freeze him, I'm afraid..."

"If it can freeze them for three seconds, that's good!" Luo Jun shouted!

"Three seconds?" The Ice Queen nodded. "I'll try. When will it take?"

"Now!" With that, Luo Jun suddenly cast a spell, creating a muddy swamp on the ground.

Upon seeing this, the Ice Queen immediately understood and flew to the side of the swamp to gather her strength.

Seeing her arrive, Luo Jun risked taking an axe blow and kicked the lord monster away, sending it crashing into the center of the swamp and splashing up a large amount of mud and water. At the same time, the Ice Queen immediately used her power, not only freezing the swamp completely but also forming a thick ice cap above it!
"This guy is too strong. He can still move even while I'm frozen. He'll break out of the ice soon!"

As she spoke, the Ice Queen cast a spell, continuously increasing the thickness and hardness of the ice layer to prevent the lord from breaking through.

At the same time, Luo Jun suddenly flew into the air, reaching a height of several thousand meters, and finally touched the top floor.

"This is it..."

Each floor of the Tower of Babel, although appearing to be outdoors, is not truly a vast space; it still has boundaries. For example, Luo Jun has now arrived at the "ceiling" of this floor!
Of course, this is not a real floor slab, but rather the boundary of an enclosed space.

He turned his body upside down, curled up his legs, and braced himself against the spatial barrier, looking up at the ever-frozen and rising ice layer thousands of meters below.

boom!
Luo Jun suddenly exerted his strength, and the boundary of space beneath his feet rippled, as if it was about to be broken. His speed was also increased to the limit, and he smashed straight down!

This isn't even the top speed!

The instant he was launched, he retracted his legs at top speed and activated the Aerial Moon Step!

Second acceleration!
Then collect it, then step on it again!
Three accelerations! Four accelerations! Five accelerations!
To onlookers, it appeared as a fleeting burst of speed, but in reality, Luo Jun seemed to be climbing stairs, accelerating as he descended, increasing his speed to an unbelievable level, even distorting the space around him...

Finally, with his extreme acceleration, he arrived at the ever-rising ice layer!
At this moment, Luo Jun clenched his fists, activated his armor, and aimed directly downwards. He clearly saw that the dog-headed lord had finally broken through the ice, wielding his axe and exposed himself to his iron fists!
boom! ! !
With a tremendous explosion, Luo Jun's fists struck the lord's head directly, utilizing not only the high speed but also the penetrating force of a hammer, instantly transmitting power throughout the lord's entire body!
Extreme speed, armored hardness, and the hammer's penetrating power—the combination of these three elements made Luo Jun's attack far more powerful than his previous ones!
Upon being hit by this attack, the lord's health bar was instantly emptied!

As for the others, including the Ice Queen, they didn't even realize what had happened. They only saw the lord continuously breaking through the ice and rising upwards. The moment it broke through the ice, Luo Jun's figure disappeared from the sky, followed by a terrifying roar, and then the world went silent.

When everyone came to their senses and looked at Luo Jun again, they found him standing on the top of the still unthawed iceberg, holding a giant two-handed axe.

"That's... the lord's weapon?" Everyone stared wide-eyed at Luo Jun. "Could it be that he has already..."

Before he finished speaking, a beam of light rose from beneath Luo Jun's feet, flew into the distance, and finally merged into the palace in the center of the desert. Then, the palace, along with the entire ancient city, began to collapse, eventually turning into ruins.

Then, a black tombstone slowly rose from the ruins, with the number "fifty" engraved on it.

This is the tombstone of the 50th floor lord, and also the passage to the 51st floor!

The 50th floor has been conquered! Night, success!

After a brief silence, cheers erupted from the crowd.

However, Luo Jun ignored the jubilant crowd, put the equipment dropped by the lord into his backpack, and flew towards the tombstone.

According to intelligence, the tombstone of the 50th-floor lord not only leads to the next floor, but also serves as a passage back to the original world.

He couldn't wait to return to the main world, retrieve the petrified Embert... no, it should be Wu Kong, to force him to hand over the kiss of the Goddess of Life.

Thinking that his goal was about to be achieved, Luo Jun was in a great mood. But just as he was about to arrive, the huge tombstone suddenly flashed with light, and then a tall figure appeared.

Are they mercenaries?
That makes sense. Now that the lord of the 50th floor has been defeated, this tombstone has been incorporated into the "elevator" system. Anyone on any floor below can be teleported here as long as they have enough mana.

Luo Jun didn't pay much attention and continued flying forward. However, when the tall figure saw him, he suddenly smiled.

"murderous look?"

Luo Jun frowned; he sensed a strong killing intent emanating from the person opposite him.

Who is it aimed at?
Just as Luo Jun was wondering what was going on, the man suddenly pulled out a giant sword and swung it at him. A huge crescent-shaped sword beam roared out, seemingly about to engulf Luo Jun!
"So strong!"

Upon seeing the sword light, Luo Jun sensed that it was no ordinary sword. He frowned, raised his hand to block, and his armed shield successfully withstood the power of the sword light. However, his defensive range was too small, and the sword light was only cut in half by him before continuing to fly behind him!
"To actually block one of my swords, impressive!"

The tall man exclaimed in admiration.

Luo Jun frowned: "Who exactly are you?"

"Heh..." The man let out a mocking sneer: "Instead of worrying about me, you should worry about the guys behind you."

"Huh?" Luo Jun was startled and turned around to look. He found that the sword light that he had cut in two had actually hit the mercenary team. One half of it hit the official attacking army, and the other half hit the "cerebral thrombosis commando team"!
Several explorers from the main world were caught in the sword's edge and died on the spot. Among them was a tall, thin, dark figure who turned out to be Kubal from the Primal Continent!

A peak-level player, so easily...

Just as he was wondering what was going on, Luo Jun suddenly felt the killing intent surging up from behind him. He immediately turned around to block, and with a clang, his armed forearm blocked the tall man's giant sword.

"You still couldn't succeed with that?" the man sneered. "Looks like you guys have some real experts on your side..."

"We...over here?" Luo Jun could sense the astonishing power of the man's heavy sword. Judging from the aura rising from his body, it didn't seem like the power of this [game] world, but rather more like the ascension of a martial arts master!
There shouldn't be such a person in the main world. Could he be from another world? Martial arts faction... Could he be one of the Four Sounds and Three Perfections of the Martial World, or perhaps a master of the Six Paths Sect? But judging from his appearance, he's only around thirty years old. How could he have achieved immortality at such a young age?
Just as Luo Jun was analyzing, several more figures appeared on the tombstone behind the man.

These individuals, both men and women, each exuded an astonishing aura, clearly indicating they were all experts at the Ascension level. Even more unbelievable was that, compared to their Ascension level, they all appeared remarkably young.

The oldest among them was a man with a gloomy demeanor, wearing a cloak, who looked to be under forty. The youngest was a girl with chestnut hair and mixed-race features, who appeared to be about the same age as Luo Jun…

Wait a minute! Luo Jun frowned slightly. This girl... he felt like he'd seen her somewhere before.
