Some of them had the combination of a lion and an eagle head—the body and tail of a lion, with a pair of massive wings growing from their backs…
Bai Qiu’s gaze sharpened.
Their information immediately appeared before him, causing him to frown slightly.
They were all Lord-tier?

And so on…
Those with slightly higher stats had fewer skills, while those with lower stats possessed more abilities.
Among them, combinations formed from lions, serpents, and eagles alone numbered over a dozen variations…
When they appeared, they didn’t immediately charge toward the Safe Zone.
Instead, they lined up in rows outside the special Void Passage, as if waiting for something.
Then—
As the passage trembled violently, a massive chimera composed of four different creatures slowly stepped out.
Like a king patrolling its domain, it looked down upon the entire land.
At the front of its body were three enormous heads:
- On the left, a pitch-black goat head, radiating a gloomy aura of death
- In the center, a ferocious lion head—its roar alone shook the heavens and echoed for miles
- On the right, a golden eagle head, with a beak over two and a half meters long; when slightly opened, its mouth revealed rows of densely packed, needle-like teeth
Its body was also a fusion:
- The torso of a lion
- The hooved legs of a goat
- The wings of an eagle
Its coloration shifted from black at the base, to brown-yellow, and finally to gold toward the top.
Its tail was a long king cobra, entirely blue-purple in color.
On its flattened head, several eerie eyes moved erratically within its sockets…
It had fangs nearly half a meter long.
As it flicked its tongue, a drop of venom fell to the ground—instantly releasing white smoke as it corroded a small pit into the surface.
Its height exceeded 30 meters, and its length was more than three times that—largely due to the massive serpent tail.
Pseudo Chimera Abomination — Level 30 (King-tier)
- Strength: C++
- Magic: C++
- Endurance: C++
- Agility: C
Skills:
- Passive — Dark Erosion Aura:
The hell-goat head and hooves emit a dark field. All creatures within a 100-meter radius suffer a 5%–25% reduction to all attributes. This aura can penetrate Sanctuary barriers. - King Beast’s Roar:
The lion head unleashes a devastating roar. Targets within a 500-meter frontal cone take sonic damage and are stunned for 0.1–5 seconds. Can penetrate Sanctuary barriers. - Golden Radiance Cannon:
The giant eagle charges energy in its beak and fires a beam. Power increases with charge time, up to C++ level. Deals +100% damage to Sanctuary barriers. - Bone-Eroding Venom:
The king cobra’s venom corrodes all armor and weapons of C+ quality and below. Targets hit enter a lethal poison state—non-Transcendent beings cannot resist it.
…and more.
Bai Qiu’s eyes narrowed as he took in all the information.
He immediately realized—this was a monster extremely close to the Transcendent level.
“Damn this rigged system…” he cursed inwardly, as he pulled out the Purgatory Darkflame Spear and hurled it!
Very quickly, he stacked the spear’s passive to maximum.
However, he didn’t recklessly use his Noble Phantasm.
Instead, he drew the string of Fallen Dragon’s Bow, working together with Zhang Shiyao to rapidly eliminate the chimera’s subordinate monsters.
As for how he knew this Pseudo Chimera was unique—
Through livestreams in other cross-zone channels, he had seen the monsters in other zones: a massive emerald serpent, with only one attribute reaching C++, barely stepping into King-tier.
Meanwhile, when the players of Zone 2233 saw this Pseudo Chimera, they immediately erupted into furious complaints, cursing the system for being unfair.
Even without seeing its stats or skills, its appearance alone made it clear—it far surpassed the Hydra-like serpent in other zones.
Through his ocular ability, Bai Qiu discerned the truth:
This Pseudo Chimera was likely a fusion of four King-tier beasts, which explained why three of its attributes reached C++.
As for its relatively low Agility— it was probably due to flaws inherent in its fused nature, making its mobility noticeably inferior compared to its other attributes.
No matter how you looked at it, the Pseudo Chimera Abomination completely outclassed the Hydra that appeared in other zones—both in attributes and mechanics.
This made Bai Qiu abandon the idea of going all-out from the start.
Although it was a fusion of four King-tier creatures, it must have a core that suppressed rejection between its parts.
As long as that core was destroyed, the creature would lose both its energy source and its ability to stabilize itself—certain death.
His Noble Phantasm could undoubtedly lock onto that weak point, but before using it, he needed to test things first.
……
While Bai Qiu and Zhang Shiyao were rapidly clearing the Lord-tier chimeras, the Pseudo Chimera finally reacted.
The giant eagle head opened its long beak, condensing a mass of metal-element energy in its throat—then instantly fired!
“What?!” Zhang Shiyao exclaimed in shock.
Both her Mithril arrows and Bai Qiu’s enhanced arrows were instantly annihilated by the golden beam.
It didn’t stop there—the beam shot across a full kilometer and slammed into the Sanctuary barrier, causing it to tremble violently!
Her shock was understandable.
The power of that Golden Radiance Cannon was already close to her Noble Phantasm!
It took her three hours to condense a single arrow—yet this thing matched it with a beam charged in just one second…
But Bai Qiu wasn’t particularly surprised.
After all, the eagle was clearly the primary damage dealer—its cannon at full charge was likely no weaker than his own Noble Phantasm.
He continued firing arrows, probing its capabilities.
Sure enough, the eagle couldn’t fire continuously.
After entering a brief lull, the lion head took control.
It opened its jaws and roared.
A nearly tangible shockwave burst from its throat.
Even players a thousand meters away were struck by the sound, their ears ringing painfully!
Naturally, Bai Qiu’s arrows were intercepted midair and detonated by the shockwave.
………
Two consecutive setbacks only strengthened Bai Qiu’s judgment—he absolutely couldn’t use his Noble Phantasm recklessly.
If he had unleashed it earlier and been hit by that smooth combo, its power would’ve been greatly reduced.
Even if it struck the weak point, it might only heavily injure the creature at best.
“Clear its minions. Leave the rest to me,” Bai Qiu said calmly.
Hearing this, Zhang Shiyao instantly steadied herself.
There was only one reason—
His tone was completely indifferent, as if he were talking about something trivial.
From his attitude, it was clear he didn’t consider this monster a real threat.
Others, however, didn’t see it that way.
Seeing that Bai Qiu hadn’t instantly killed it like before, unease began to spread.
“This is bad! What if even Boss Bai Qiu can’t handle it? What do we do?!”
“Focus on your job! Don’t shake morale!” someone shouted angrily.
By now, most players had developed stronger mental resilience.
Only a few fell into despair—most still had complete faith in Bai Qiu.
…………
Bai Qiu continued drawing the string of Fallen Dragon’s Bow, firing enhanced arrows one after another.
After thirty seconds of testing, he had fully grasped the chimera’s abilities and physical data.
The Golden Radiance Cannon was its most powerful charge-based attack, followed by the King Beast’s Roar.
As for its physical defense—it wasn’t particularly strong.
When his arrows exploded on its body, they didn’t just blast away the lion head’s mane—its flesh was torn open as well, blood spilling everywhere.
This was the weakness of chimeras.
Formed from multiple creatures, they excelled in both area damage and single-target output, but their defense was lacking, and their recovery from injuries was slow.
Creatures like this were likely designed with one purpose—to overwhelm and crush Sanctuary defenses as quickly as possible.
All of its mana was being used by the eagle head for offense, while its raw physical strength came purely from the lion’s body.
In terms of sheer physical power, it was roughly on par with Bai Qiu—if he had no armor or mana defenses.
But with his mana defenses and the Skyward Battle Armor, if not for its overwhelming offensive capabilities, Bai Qiu could have stood his ground and worn it down in a direct clash!
Moreover, both its Golden Radiance Cannon and King Beast’s Roar had a cooldown of about thirty seconds.
After baiting out all of its skills, Zhang Shiyao had also just finished clearing its minions.
………….
The death of its subordinates clearly enraged the Pseudo Chimera.
With a furious roar, it charged toward the Safe Zone—straight at Zhang Shiyao!
“Shiyao, fall back! A-Yuan, protect everyone!” Bai Qiu shouted.
Zhang Shiyao reacted instantly, retracting her bow and retreating in one swift motion, flipping backward to land beside A-Yuan.
A-Yuan also condensed a layer of water around its body.
What it needed to block wasn’t Bai Qiu’s magic itself—but the shockwave pressure generated when he used his Noble Phantasm.
After all, according to the Wave announcement, even if Bai Qiu used Noble Phantasm on allies, it wouldn’t deal direct damage—but the resulting force could still send people flying dozens of meters.
………….
[Gather all life and will—break the spine of the heavens. The killing intent that hangs above shall bloom at this very moment!]
[Noble Phantasm— Spear of Converging Mana Thrust]
As Bai Qiu chanted, golden mana poured out of his body, surging skyward.
The overwhelming energy gathered into the Purgatory Darkflame Spear, whose release rings had already been activated!
A powerful wind howled in from all directions, circling around him.
Guinelia’s rabbit ears were flattened tightly against her head by the gusts.
Curious, she stood up on A-Yuan’s head, peeking out just enough to secretly watch Bai Qiu unleash his Noble Phantasm!
She wasn’t the only one—many of the Supporters watched with rapt attention.
…………..
BOOM!
With the chant complete, all the energy was poured into the spear.
Bai Qiu stepped forward—
In an instant, he became a streak of light, charging straight at the Pseudo Chimera!
Even a creature as brutal as the chimera could instinctively sense the terrifying power of this attack.
It abruptly spread its wings and forcefully halted its charge.
The gloomy goat head let out a wail as it rapidly withered, while the eagle head erupted with metallic energy, opening its beak to begin charging another cannon—
Too late.
By the time it started charging, Bai Qiu was already less than a hundred meters away.
Once his Noble Phantasm’s effective movement range reached 200 meters, a distance of 100 meters could be crossed in just 0.1 seconds.
And so—
Before it could complete its charge, Bai Qiu’s spear pierced straight through its chest.
The hidden core within its body was instantly destroyed.
