CHAPTER TEXT:
A storm of attacks engulfed Ye Zhongming. If it weren't for the sound of Wind and Thunder Twin Birth striking the mist flower bubbles, one could easily think that the King of Cloud Summit had already perished.
The golden equipment, All-Element Plunder Disk, unleashed attacks that drew attention.
Ye Zhongming had encountered opponents of equal rank before, such as a thief organization that snatched an entrance ticket, but they were top experts in the national district. However, in the eight-star level, these opponents were not particularly formidable. Facing a genuine master like Ye Zhongming felt like a vast gulf of difference.
But today, Ye Zhongming was up against elites. Several big shots, like Wen Yan, were on his level; even if they weren't as strong as him, they were not far behind.
Especially when someone like Wen Yan was willing to go all out, he could create a lot of trouble for Ye Zhongming.
Ye Zhongming was not clear on the cooldown time for the attack equipment like All-Element Plunder Disk, but he could imagine it being quite long, and it likely came at some cost. Even if it wasn't Purple Gear, it was still powerful equipment.
Faced with such an apparatus, other eight-star evolvers might have already been severely injured.
However, Ye Zhongming was also feeling the pressure.
His current defense was divided into several parts: the enhancement field, the black halo shield, the black earth armor, and his own defensive capabilities.
The enhancement field had the lowest defense because its main function was to apply beneficial effects to Ye Zhongming and inflict abnormal states on hostile targets. Its defensive capacity was mainly about neutralizing energy and slowing down attacks.
The black halo shield's main ability was to rebound attacks, which Ye Zhongming had upgraded to the highest level, with a rebound ratio of fifty percent.
Of course, this excluded dark element energy.
Next was the black earth armor of the Earth Spirit element, along with his own equipment that included armor.
With this multi-layered defense, Ye Zhongming dared to ignore many attacks.
However, the attacks from the All-Element Plunder Disk, particularly the second type of dark element attack, caused Ye Zhongming to suffer his most serious injury since the start of the battle, as the rebound effect of the black halo shield did not apply.
The dark element energy was insidious, and its effects on targets were manifold. When these black spheres landed on Ye Zhongming, each time they caused his body to quiver slightly as his insides were eroded. Even though most of the attack power had been blocked by his defenses, the remnants still inflicted damage on Ye Zhongming.
The number of attacks from the All-Element Plunder Disk was simply overwhelming.
Ye Zhongming attempted to take out the Staff of Nature, but he couldn’t tell if it was due to the mist flower or the All-Element Plunder Disk, but the equipment surprisingly wouldn’t activate.
After the dark element attacks came ice element attacks, countless ice spikes raining down and filling the entire mist flower bubbles.
Following that were wind element, fire element, and even light element attacks.
Each one had its characteristics and affected Ye Zhongming, but aside from the dark element, the black halo shield could rebound half of the damage. Coupled with the constantly refreshing black earth armor and even specially designed armor, these attacks did not inflict much harm on Ye Zhongming.
However, the sheer volume and concentration of the attacks caused blood to flow from the corner of Ye Zhongming's mouth after they ceased.
During this time, Ye Zhongming had not been idle. He shattered the mist flower bubbles, removing the barriers between him and Wen Yan.
Without any hesitation, as soon as the bubbles burst, he appeared near Wen Yan.
A dazzling blade radiance descended upon this big shot of the pavilion of quality.
What awaited Ye Zhongming was another attack.
The time taken from Ye Zhongming being trapped to his escape was about two minutes. During this lengthy period, Wen Yan had been preparing this ability.
