Chapter 360: Damage Multiplier, Combat Power Off the Charts!
After the transcendent set evolved to 14 stars, Zhang Yue opened the status panel to take a look.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Compared to before, the stats showed about a 30% improvement, which was quite decent.
The most significant improvement, however, came from the three set skills.
[Void Shield: Converts 80% of damage dealt into a shield. The shield value cannot exceed ten times the HP limit of the protector. While the shield exists, the protector's attack power increases by 50%, and damage boosts by 100%]
[Thunder's Might: Increases lightning skill damage by 400%, reduces all lightning skill cooldowns by 40%, and reduces skill costs by 40%]
[Enchantment: Enchants the weapon, consuming 1% of max HP per second, increasing damage by 400%, with an additional 100% armor penetration/penetration and a 50% critical rate boost]
Zhang Yue couldn't wait to test the power of his newly evolved 14-star epic transcendent set.
Coincidentally, right in front of him, a god-level boss, [Night Hunter], was brutally slaughtering Undying Guards.
"That's it! You're my target!"
Locking onto the target, Zhang Yue used a Blink ability, instantly closing the distance from several hundred meters away to within 50 yards—effective attack range.
With the Glory: War God's Physique and Enchantment continuously active, he swung his staff.
He began with the SS-grade rare skill Extinction Light, putting the Night Hunter into a vulnerability state upon hit, effectively increasing subsequent damage by 50%.
Following up immediately:
Skyfire Scorches the Land!
Frozen Wasteland!
Voidless: God-Slaying Curse!
Three single-target burst skills in quick succession, all hitting the fast-moving Night Hunter with precision.
5.363 million!
5.715 million!
5.555 million!
9.353 million!
The damage was simply insane.
One skill combo directly wiped out a quarter of the Night Hunter's HP.
Keep in mind, this was a level 90 god-level boss.
At this point, the heavily wounded Night Hunter let out a deep, angry roar and charged at Zhang Yue with killing intent.
Unfazed, Zhang Yue calmly stacked the first layer of Thunder Grip and continued to whittle down the Night Hunter using Heavenly Fire Tribulation, dodging the Night Hunter's impact.
Thunder Grip, being a lightning skill, benefited from the Thunder's Might effect: a 40% cooldown reduction. Originally a 6-second cooldown, it was reduced to 3.6 seconds.
Roughly four seconds later, the second layer of Thunder Grip was stacked.
He followed up with AOE skills Necromantic Storm and Hell's Judgment, engulfing the Night Hunter and a large group of nearby mobs simultaneously.
While the damage wasn't lethal to the Night Hunter, for the surrounding smaller monsters, it was akin to apocalyptic destruction.
Two AOE skills casually cleared out dozens of nearby mobs that Zhang Yue hadn't even intended to target.
At this moment, Thunder Grip had stacked to three layers: the next lightning skill would deal 600% increased damage.
Zhang Yue locked onto the severely injured Night Hunter.
"Fatal Strike!"
SS-grade lightning skill: Shattered Thunder!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Ten consecutive bolts of lightning descended with a devouring, annihilating force, striking the Night Hunter in an instant.
1.432 million!
1.432 million!
1.432 million!
.....
Ten consecutive hits, totaling 14.32 million damage, combined with another 11.408 million damage from a Voidless: God-Slaying Curse, instantly wiped out the remaining quarter of the Night Hunter's HP bar.
Previously, Zhang Yue needed thirty seconds to kill a god-level boss.
Now, only ten seconds.
This was the true combat power of a 14-star epic transcendent set.
Zhang Yue now even felt confident about taking on the four emperor-level bosses of the Four Great Clans.
Still, to be safe, he decided to wait and upgrade the transcendent set to 15 stars before acting.
The transcendent set's growth limit was 15 stars. With it currently at 14 stars, there was still room for improvement.
After all, 13-star and 14-star equipment dropped like candy in the Aura Continent.
By using these items to feed and upgrade the transcendent set to 15 stars, taking down the Four Great Clans' leaders would be effortless, giving them a huge surprise.
For now, Zhang Yue continued to focus on the Aura Continent dungeon.
He picked up a Source of Life dropped by the Night Hunter and stored it in his inventory.
He also looted three 14-star items and used Magic Touch Appraisal to identify them before refining them into gold-tier with energy.
By feeding these items to the corresponding transcendent equipment, a single 14-star gold-tier item provided 5% growth progress.
At this rate, upgrading the transcendent set to 15 stars in this high-drop dungeon would be a breeze.
Next, Zhang Yue's targets remained the god-level bosses among the beast hordes.
As more bosses were slain, the number of Sources of Life accumulated grew rapidly.

Meanwhile, outside the Aura Continent...
In Sovereign City, the King had sealed the entire city using the last remnants of his power, preventing the Four Great Clans from invading.
However, before his complete revival, his strength was ultimately limited.
As the Four Great Clans' leaders continuously attacked the seal, it was finally broken.
In the next moment, the Four Great Clans' leaders led their armies into Sovereign City.
They headed straight for the entrance to the Aura Continent dungeon.
"The entire city is empty. That brat must be hiding in here!"
"Charge in and kill him!"
Just as they were about to force their way in, they were stopped by a powerful barrier.
This exclusive dungeon for the super-divine hidden quest only allowed the quest executor to enter—no one else could step inside.
Not even emperor-level bosses, let alone immortal-level ones, had permission to enter.
At this moment, the King's voice descended from above:
"You've got some nerve, daring to trespass on my domain!"
Facing the King, the Four Great Clans' leaders remained unfazed.
"King, your era is long over," the Ghost King Mongya said to the sky.
"Do you still think it's a hundred years ago? Your lingering soul is nothing but an arrow at the end of its flight. Stop dreaming about revival."
"That mortal won't save you. He won't even save himself, let alone complete your revival plans."
"You're all going to die here in Sovereign City!"
The Shadow King Jie added, "If we can't get in, we'll just wait for him to come out!"
At this moment, the Demon King Enil seemed to have thought of something and signaled to the other three leaders.
The leaders exchanged a knowing glance and dispersed around the entrance to the Aura Continent...
