The leaders of the Four Great Clans were defeated by Zhang Yue.
At the same time, the armies of the Four Great Clans were intercepted outside the city of Sovereign City by Zhang Yue's summoned Divine Guard Army through the Command Token, unable to even enter the city.
Just after receiving the news, Ice Emperor, Moon Mark, and Seraph, who had rushed to the World 15's Sovereign City from a higher realm to investigate the situation, arrived.
On their way, they were still worried about whether Zhang Yue could defeat the four Emperor-tier BOSS leaders of the Four Great Clans this time.
As soon as they entered Sovereign City, they saw the scene of the Four Great Clan leaders being pressed to the ground and rubbed by Zhang Yue. Ice Emperor and the others were stunned.
"This kid... truly defies the heavens!"
"One-on-one against an Emperor-tier BOSS is already an unprecedented feat. In history, only the God Asura ever managed that. And now, this kid is simultaneously beating up four Emperor-tier BOSSES?"
"A Necromancer... Could it really be a Mythical-tier class? Zero's potential may have even surpassed our Dragon Nation's God Asura."
"Let's not talk about that now," Seraph said. "At such a critical moment, we must document this and later show the world the might of our Dragon Nation's strongest!"
With that, Seraph immediately activated a certain live-streaming platform and began recording the video.
["This is a rare sight! The great Seraph is actually streaming live?"]
["And it's a live broadcast of our Dragon Nation's newly crowned national top player, Zero, in a real-time battle! Zero versus four Emperor-tier BOSSES!"]
["No way! What platform? I need to check this out!"]
Within just ten seconds, the live stream was packed with viewers.
Seeing the leaders of the Four Great Clans—four Level 90 Emperor-tier BOSSES—fall before Zhang Yue, the entire live stream exploded.
["Whoa! Zero is awesome!"]
["Solo carry—six out of six!"]
["Battle God levels of strength! Oops, wrong set!"]
["Killing four Emperor-tier BOSSES... Once the cross-world channel opens, it's basically the end for that little country!"]
["Serves them right! They're the ones who let those BOSSES in, causing the Four Great Clan BOSSES to level up from God-tier to Emperor-tier to mess with our Zero. Wait and see, their faces are about to get slapped, and their pride is about to be crushed!"]
At the same time, the four BOSSES, facing Zhang Yue, who was now far stronger than them, exchanged glances.
"This kid... Did he secretly eat fertilizer? How did he grow so strong so quickly?"
At this moment, Demon King Enil said, "Fortunately, I suggested having a contingency plan back then. Otherwise, how could we kill him now?"
"Good point; I almost forgot!" Ghost King Mongya added, "We still have a trump card!"
With that, Ghost King Mongya said to Zhang Yue, "I admit, you are strong."
"But what will you do if we unleash the Heaven and Earth Infinite Array?"
Heaven and Earth Infinite Array?
Just as Zhang Yue was feeling puzzled, Demon King Enil suddenly made a swift leap, landing at a point roughly 100 meters east of the Spirit Continent dungeon entrance.
At the same time, Ghost King Mongya, Shadow King Jie, and God King Arafat each took their positions in the south, west, and north, respectively.
Immediately, flames ignited beneath all four of them.
Heaven!
Earth!
Infinite!
Array!
With a roar, the flames from the four locations connected, forming a flaming array that trapped Zhang Yue within.
At this moment, blazing flames also erupted on Zhang Yue's body.
"What's going on?"
Seraph, watching the scene below, exclaimed, "What skill is this? When did the leaders of the Four Great Clans gain a combo skill?"
"It doesn't look like a combo skill. It seems more like a pre-set array that they are now activating," Moon Mark analyzed.
Viewers watching through Ice Emperor's live stream also grew nervous.
["What kind of skill is this? Why does it look like Zero can't move?"]
["It's over! Our Zero is toast!"]
Indeed, Zhang Yue, now engulfed in flames, couldn't move.
What's worse, his HP bar above his head was draining at a rate of 1% per second.
The array's burning damage ignored shields, directly consuming Zhang Yue's HP bar.
Only now did Zhang Yue realize that the leaders of the Four Great Clans had set up an array outside in advance to deal with him.
At this moment, the King's voice sounded in his ear: "This is the very Heaven and Earth Infinite Array they used to attack me. I perished to this array back then."
Hearing this, Zhang Yue's heart sank.
Even the King couldn't escape this array. Didn't that mean he was doomed?
However, Zhang Yue wasn't the only one immobilized.
As the array's core, the four leaders of the Four Great Clans couldn't move either and were also suffering continuous burning damage.
But their damage was much lower, losing only 0.1% of their HP per second.
Even with just 50% HP remaining, they could last 500 seconds, far longer than Zhang Yue's 100 seconds.
The array also trapped the Armageddon Black Dragon and the others, and reinforcements from outside couldn't penetrate it. Ice Emperor and the others could only watch helplessly.
Zhang Yue learned from the system that the burning damage of the Heaven and Earth Infinite Array bypassed resurrection, dealing permanent death damage.
This meant that in 100 seconds, Zhang Yue would be erased.
In desperation, Zhang Yue asked the King, "Is there a way to break this array?"
"There is!" The King's answer was surprising.
"Submit the quest and revive me, and I will solve this for you."
Zhang Yue fell silent for three seconds.
"Wait a second..."
"Did you know about this array beforehand and deliberately not tell me?"
"Ahem..."
The King's voice suddenly became awkward.
"Wasn't I worried you wouldn't want to revive me?"
A thousand horses galloped across Zhang Yue's mind.
The King's concern was that Zhang Yue might complete the super-hidden quest and still refuse to submit it?
Zhang Yue couldn't figure out if he was the fool or if the King was.
Until the King said one sentence that Enilghtened Zhang Yue:"Otherwise, why didn't you revive me as soon as you emerged?"
Right!
Why hadn't Zhang Yue submitted the quest?
Though immobilized, Zhang Yue's basic physical movements were unaffected.
With his HP bar already at 70%, he immediately opened the quest interface and submitted the task.
The next moment—
[World Announcement] (Across the Otherworld):
[Ding~ Congratulations to the Dragon Nation player [Zero] for completing the Super Hidden Quest [Revive the King]]
In an instant, players from all nations were in an uproar.
["What the heck? Someone from the Dragon Nation completed a Super Hidden Quest? Oh, come on! This jealousy is unbearable!"]
["Damn it! Every time a Super Hidden Quest is completed, it massively boosts the nation's fortune. The Dragon Nation's position is going to rise again!"]
Meanwhile, Zhang Yue's ears were filled with the pleasant sound of the system notifications:
["Ding~ Congratulations on completing the Super Hidden Quest [Revive the King]. You have earned the following rewards..."]
