"The Three Main Gods each have a corresponding Life Soul. In a state where they are holding the Life Soul, they will possess an undying and indestructible body. Therefore, you must separate them from the Life Soul to be able to kill them."
Wolong recalled, "At the time… it should indeed have been handled by Long Two, right? Master Xuan Lan and I personally handed over the three Life Souls to him."
Zhang Yue held his forehead, "Such an important thing, how could you give it to that careless and clumsy guy Long Two?"
"I thought the Three Main Gods were sealed and would never come out again. I also didn't expect the situation to develop like it has now…"
"We can't let it get the Fatal Lock," Zhang Yue said, "Otherwise this guy will become like some stubborn plaster that you can't get rid of."
Wolong said, "As the person connected to the Life Soul, the God of Wrath can sense the aura of the Fatal Lock and thus track its location. It's definitely looking for people from the Seven Nations to help find the Fatal Lock."
"Moreover, it's seeking out newly advanced professionals rather than strong veteran high-level professionals, which means the hiding place of the Fatal Lock likely has some kind of restriction…"
"Death Territory," Zhang Yue said, "High-level professionals can't enter the Death Territory of low-level worlds. Its Life Soul should be in the Death Territory of some world, and that world should not be far from me."
After a moment of silence, Wolong said, "Or maybe we should just deal with it before it finds the Life Soul."
"I've been waiting for it to make a move, but if it won't act, there's nothing I can do," Zhang Yue said helplessly.
"But the Life Souls of the Three Main Gods, if I reforge them using their souls, they should ultimately be usable as divine weapons under my control," In Zhang Yue's eyes, a trace of desire involuntarily surfaced.
Beside him, Wolong was momentarily stunned.
Using the souls of the Three Main Gods to sacrifice and unlock permission to use the Life Souls.
Back then, even Asura didn't dare to think like that.
"Master, I actually came to see you for something about the Gate of Immortality," Wolong changed the subject, "You should be arriving at World 22 soon, where you can enter the Gate of Immortality. The Resurrection God Stone inside is the only chance to bring back Long Two and Master Xuan Lan."
"Mm, I know," Zhang Yue said, "Previously in the Gate of Immortality in World 11 and also in the one in the Eastern Nation, I obtained one fragment each, only one fragment left to combine into a complete Resurrection God Stone."
Wolong said, "As long as we use the Resurrection God Stone to revive Long Two, we can learn from him the location of the Life Souls of the Three Main Gods and find the Fatal Lock before the God of Wrath does."
"Heroes think alike," Zhang Yue said, "I originally planned to revive Sister Lan first, but that Long Two guy got lucky."
At this moment, Wolong said, "Master, actually, you can revive both of them at the same time."
"Ever since the Death Territory opened, some worlds have undergone a qualitative transformation."
"Worlds like 11, 22, 33, those that have a Gate of Immortality, have had the Gate engulfed in the Death Territory. The difficulty increased, but the rewards for simultaneous clearance also rose. In the Gates of Immortality within the Death Territory, as long as you're strong enough, you can directly obtain a complete Resurrection God Stone, possibly more than one."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yue couldn't help but feel excited, "The benefits are that good? Then I'd better speed up getting through World 22."
"For the Fatal Lock—ptui! For Long Two, let's charge!"
Wolong: "Good luck, Master…"

The next morning at eight, Zhang Yue woke up, ate breakfast, reunited with Athena, and logged in simultaneously.
Last night, he had only cleared the Nightmare Abyss and hadn't had time to fight the World 20 boss before logging off.
So the first thing the two of them did after logging in was to activate the World Boss Challenge.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
White light fell, and Zhang Yue and Athena appeared simultaneously in a pitch-black abyss.
[Ding~ Welcome to the World Boss Challenge Zone. Please kill the World 20 Boss: Abyss Overlord · Oss!]
ROAR!
Accompanied by a deafening roar, a gigantic dragon shrouded in purple ghostly fire burst out from below the abyss, soaring into the sky.
At first glance, its aura was overwhelming.
Upon closer inspection… not as impressive as first thought.
"Just a 21-star little pet?"
Zhang Yue showed a hint of anticipation.
Of course, the anticipation wasn't from the 21-star boss in front of him.
It was because, after finishing this battle, Zhang Yue could enter World 21 and break through the level cap from 115 to 120.
And once a professional reaches level 120, they can undergo a fourth job advancement.
The fourth advancement not only means their skill grade hits the highest SSS level but for the Beast Tamer class, it also unlocks a fourth pet battle slot.
For Zhang Yue, who has the Void Stone, it even means unlocking a fifth pet slot. The Skeleton King left cold and lonely in the warehouse will make his comeback.
Most people would feel overwhelmed.
Because upgrading from SS to SSS level skills requires an enormous consumption of energy.
According to historical records, over 99.9% of professionals in the world, even upon reaching their fourth advancement, still only have A-level skills across the board.
As for Zhang Yue, if not for the level cap, all his skills would've already been 5S.
At this moment, above their heads, [Abyss Overlord · Oss] opened its bloody maw and attempted to attack Zhang Yue and Athena.
But before it could even open its mouth, it was swallowed up by a flurry of descending spells.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Heaven-shaking thunder!
Shattered Thunder!
Thunder · Dance of Lightning!
Voidless · Godslaying Curse!
-310 million!
-32 million! -32 million! -32 million…
-350 million!
-530 million! Critical hit!
With one set of high burst single-target combo skills, more than 1.5 billion total damage instantly emptied the Boss's full HP bar.
Beside him, Athena didn't even have time to act before the Boss's massive body came crashing down from the sky.
["Ding~ Congratulations on defeating the World Boss [Abyss Overlord · Oss], and clearing World 20 [Endless Abyss]!"]
At least, she's the newly crowned top professional of Bear Nation this year.
But when with Zhang Yue, Athena felt utterly useless.
Through the spatial gate, the two left the Boss Challenge Zone and headed straight for World 21.
As soon as they left, the Boss Challenge Zone immediately began resetting.
The defeated Abyss Overlord Oss was resurrected, awaiting the next wave of challengers.
Before long—
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Another beam of white light fell.
A professional team from the Eastern Nation appeared in the Boss Challenge Zone.
Led by Shadow Mage Higashino Shinjo.
As the group had just arrived in the area and hadn't even made a move, they saw a black cloud in mid-air engulf the World Boss Abyss Overlord Oss.
Moments later—
ROAR!
With a final wail, the black cloud dispersed, leaving only the corpse of the Abyss Overlord falling from the sky.
["Ding~ Congratulations on defeating the World Boss [Abyss Overlord · Oss], and clearing World 20 [Endless Abyss].."]
