[Description: An Evil Dragon resurrected from the Endless Abyss. It believes in an Abyssal Demon God that has fallen into the Abyss. It possesses terrifying personal power, and you cannot use the "Hero Enhancement" Talent to plunder the Abyssal Talents of creatures eroded by the Abyss.]

’Wait a minute.’

’The Abyss?’

’A Demon God?’

’Isn’t this thing supposed to be one of the Evil Gods’ Giant Dragon believers?’

Qin Feng’s gaze swept over Evil Dragon Jinli’s stat panel, and he instantly caught the anomaly hidden in the information.

He immediately issued a command to Arthas, who was far away in Ventecenia, ordering it to sneak closer and carefully observe Jinli’s condition, especially the energy fluctuations emanating from its body.

After confirmation, the energy fluctuations radiating from Evil Dragon Jinli were completely different from those emitted by the Evil God Believers.

The former’s energy was deeper and darker, as if it could devour all surrounding light.

The latter’s energy had a murkier quality, as if it had been disturbed by impurities.

Comparing the two,

the former was like thick, pure black ink, while the latter was like black ink diluted with water, having lost that extreme depth and darkness.

’A feeling?’

’Like they come from the same source?’

Before Qin Feng could think further, Evil Dragon Jinli discovered the Necromancer Champion that was secretly approaching it.

As an Abyssal Believer with eyes and ears all over the Lord World, Evil Dragon Jinli saw through the Necromancer Champion’s identity at a glance. It knew it was a clone puppet sent by Qin Feng and that the creature could share its field of view with him.

"Heh heh!"

"Tingfeng!"

"You’re watching me right now, aren’t you?"

Evil Dragon Jinli’s voice was tinged with mockery, yet held an unquestionable certainty:

"What a pity!"

"The summoning ritual has already begun!"

"Not even the heavens collapsing can stop us now!"

"Neither you, Tingfeng, nor those self-righteous Pseudo-Gods behind you can stop the great True God from awakening from the depths of the Abyss and returning to this world!"

As it spoke, Evil Dragon Jinli abruptly lowered its head. A deep roar rumbled in its throat as it suddenly spewed forth a thick stream of Dark Dragon Breath!

The torrent of inky-black energy descended like a collapsing abyssal waterfall, carrying a world-devouring chill. It instantly enveloped Arthas, who had no room to dodge.

Then, an eerie violet light of erosion surged within the Dragon Breath. The health bar above Arthas’s head depleted at a speed visible to the naked eye, dimming by nearly half in an instant.

’This damage...’

’It’s enough to one-shot a regular Extraordinary unit...’

’But for a being like Arthas, who has over a hundred thousand health, it’s nowhere near enough to kill it instantly...’

’Even...’

’Those Divine Chosen Soldiers, enhanced by Lord Players with Talents, skills, and treasures...’

’...couldn’t be instantly killed by this Evil Dragon’s Dark Dragon Breath. It would take at least ten seconds of continuous spray to kill a single enhanced Divine Chosen Soldier...’

After a moment of contemplation, the thoughtful look in Qin Feng’s eyes gradually faded, replaced by clarity.

He now had a thorough understanding of Evil Dragon Jinli’s combat advantages and where its weaknesses lay hidden.

He even had a clear answer in his mind for what strategies and methods would be needed to defeat this Evil Dragon.

First was the Talent, "Abyssal Erosion - Fixed Damage Reduction."

This Talent allowed its holder to mitigate a fixed 99% of all incoming damage. It was an enhanced, advanced version of the "Fixed Damage Reduction" Talent possessed by the Valkyrie.

More importantly, its Damage Reduction Effect belonged to an independent numerical calculation, meaning there were currently no targeted methods to counter or weaken it.

Against Evil Dragon Jinli, which possessed this Talent, conventional combat strategies were ineffective.

The only feasible method was to rely on the core logic of "brute force"—overwhelming it with extreme damage values. By using an absolute total damage output to break through the 99% damage reduction limit, one could ultimately kill the target with sheer, high-volume damage.

Second was the Talent, "Abyssal Erosion - Regeneration Power."

This Talent allowed its holder to restore 5% of their Maximum Life Value every second. This was a rare percentage-based healing effect, even more exaggerated than Qin Feng’s "Evil Aura." Its only drawback was that it was self-cast only and couldn’t provide group healing.

If paired with the previous "Abyssal Erosion - Fixed Damage Reduction,"

in the current environment where efficient healing methods were generally lacking, Evil Dragon Jinli’s survivability was simply monstrous, reaching a level that was "nearly invincible."

To counter this Talent, besides continuing with the "brute force" strategy of using numerical superiority and suppressing its healing efficiency with extremely high burst damage,

one could also directly counter its regeneration ability with targeted mechanics like "healing reduction" or "Forbidden Healing," thereby breaking its survival advantage.

Next was the "Abyssal Erosion: Strong Body" Talent.

The mechanics of this Talent were relatively straightforward: its core function was to simultaneously increase Evil Dragon Jinli’s Attribute Value and Ability Value.

However, there was a clear difference between the two. The Attribute Value was restricted by the rules of the Lord World and could only reach a maximum of 2,999 points, making this part of the boost quite limited in its actual effect.

The increase in Ability Value, on the other hand, was completely unrestricted by world stages or rule caps. It could be continuously stacked, resulting in a terrifyingly powerful boost to its combat strength.

Therefore,

even without the other monstrous Talents,

just based on this single Heaven-defying Talent, combined with Evil Dragon Jinli’s massive health pool of over fifty thousand, it would still take Qin Feng a significant amount of time to kill it.

Then there was the "Abyssal Erosion: Overlord Body" Talent.

This was a crowd control immunity ability with a simple but extremely intimidating mechanic.

Crucially, its immunity priority was maxed out, classifying it as a top-tier Divine Gift-type ability.

Neither Qin Feng’s Lord Skill, "Mjolnir," nor the various Control Skills cast by that Lust Female Player in the past could break through this Overlord Protection.

In other words, Evil Dragon Jinli would never be caught in an immobile "suppressed" state. All crowd control measures were completely ineffective against it.

To defeat it,

one had to adhere to the core principle of "brute force."

There was also the "Abyssal Erosion and Rebirth" Talent, a Resurrection Skill with the most monstrous, yet also the most straightforward, mechanic.

Qin Feng wasn’t yet sure if the Resurrection mastered by the Evil God Players behind Zhao Chuan was the same type of ability as the one Evil Dragon Jinli possessed.

But he knew very well that his own "Eye of the Hunter" Talent was the natural counter to Evil Dragon Jinli’s Power of Resurrection.

As long as Qin Feng could land the final, killing blow on Evil Dragon Jinli three consecutive times, its "Abyssal Erosion and Rebirth" Talent would be rendered completely useless and could no longer trigger its Resurrection Effect.

Therefore, compared to the other monstrous Talents mentioned earlier, this Resurrection Talent was actually the most ordinary one.

Finally,

"Master of the Abyss."

This was similar to Qin Feng’s "King of War" Talent.

Not only did Evil Dragon Jinli itself benefit from this Talent’s enhancement, but all the Abyss Soldiers around it would also receive a significant buff.

There wasn’t much to say about this ability’s mechanics.

The only way to defeat it was through the numerical superiority of "brute force."

Alternatively, one could use some curse-type Magic.

Lower the enemy’s attack and defense values.

This would counteract the enhancement effect of this Hero Talent.

But in essence, that was no different from "brute force."
