"How is this possible?"


    "Am I going crazy??"


    "Is this an illusion??"


    ...


    Soon, one yer after another appeared at the outskirts of the boss gathering point. They shouted in disbelief, some unable to ept the scene before them.


    The yers behind them, hearing themotion, became increasingly curious. What did the forerunners see? They quickened their pace to move forward—


    Although the forerunners were surprised, at least they hadn''te under attack; the boss gathering point should be temporarily safe. The yers boldly charged ahead!


    However, the newly joined yers quickly fell silent. Among them were several leaders of various strategy groups at the peak legendary level.


    "Could it be that a powerful hunting team has emerged in Heavenly Curtain Canyon?"


    "No, even the strongest hunting team couldn''t achieve this level of destruction! Demigods? No way! Demigods aren''t this strong!"


    ...


    Gulp.


    Gulp.


    Countless yers swallowed hard. They gazed at the scene ahead, their worldview shaken to its core.


    What they saw were corpses… all of them were the bosses'' corpses!


    Each one, legendary high-tier or even legendary peak beings, had beenpletely annihted!


    Massive creatures resembling mountains, mechanical beings that looked like technologically advanced goris, and Phoenix engulfed in an unquenchable, strange me…


    The mountain-like monsters had been brutally torn to pieces. The mechanical goris were reduced to a pile of broken circuits. The birds had their innards ripped out, their life force extinguished…


    The many yers present stared in horror as they took in the sight! Many of these bosses were ones they had meticulously nned against, spending months or even years preparing their strategies to defeat them.


    There were others they had also researched but had only intended to avoid in Heavenly Curtain Canyon, hoping to prevent being wiped out by these bosses.


    Yet now, whether it was a boss they thought they could defeat or one they felt they should steer clear of, they were all dead! Wiped out! Each one had suffered a gruesome end, their remains unidentifiable!


    It was as if they had encountered an unbeatable enemy who effortlessly ughtered them!


    Moreover, it wasn''t just that the individual strength of the bosses was extraordinarily high; their numbers were also staggering. After the spatial fragments of Heavenly Curtain Canyon hadbined, dozens of bosses were captured all at once at this gathering point!


    Due to the nature of the spatial fragments, the bosses were certainly scattered across different areas of theplete Heavenly Curtain Canyon, so they must have arrived in sequence. However, at the same time, there were at least a dozen bosses present.


    This meant that…


    That unknown entity not only decimated legendary peak bosses but was also capable of taking on a dozen or more at once??


    In the Hall of Valor, yers who have been around for a long time generally have some familiarity with the titles held by each demigod. But no one could be this powerful! After all, these are bosses! yers can easily solo them without breaking a sweat, right? This is precisely why all the yers wore expressions of disbelief; the scene before them was entirely unreasonable.


    "Wait a minute."


    "Are we trapped in a cognitive bias?"


    "Maybe these bosses weren''t killed by yers at all."


    "Are we just witnessing a scripted event?"


    Someone spoke up.


    As soon as this was said, a chorus of agreement followed.


    "Yeah! We were mistaken."


    "Indeed, such scripted events are quitemon; it''s just that they seem rarely triggered in the Hall of Valor, which led us to overlook it."


    "So, does that mean we might still receive a quest?"


    ...


    People were discussing this, feeling as if they had cracked the case!


    "Exactly."


    "With so many bosses, how could they possibly have been killed by yers..."


    At that moment, one of the strategy group leaders spoke up.


    However, soon after, he noticed that everyone around him was looking at him strangely.


    "What do you mean?"


    The group leader was a bit confused. Weren''t you all just saying in unison that this was a scripted event? I merely added ament; what''s with those looks?


    In the next second, thestrategy group leader suddenly understood.


    At that moment, a violent spatial fluctuation erupted from the center of all the boss corpses.


    Countless reconnaissance skills had been cast in that instant. Through ayer of spatial obstruction, people began to faintly read the data of a yer.


    Demigod level! All attributes read as "???".


    As the spatial fluctuations became clearer,


    Swish!


    A boss that appeared to be a massive dark purple skeleton, reminiscent of a giant bat, was forcefully thrown out.


    "Wow!"


    The beast emitted a Wail of Anguish. Its gigantic body crashed to the ground, creating a deep pit and sending the remains of the surrounding bosses flying in all directions.


    Meanwhile, numerous yers maintained their reconnaissance skills. They immediately discovered that the life force of this legendary peak boss was already extremely weak.


    In the next instant, the spatial fluctuations flickered.


    The yer who had been detected suddenly appeared, wrapped in a dark-colored cloak. As he moved, faint purple energy swirled around him, forming shimmering specks of light that scattered in the air.


    In his hand, he wielded a massive sword, also covered in dark energy.


    Swish!


    In that instant, all the yers present understood why those earlier bosses had met such a gruesome end!


    The giant sword swung down, then shattered into countless smaller des, slicing through the inside of the boss. Soon, the energy core within the massive bat skeleton boss, which was glowing, waspletely shredded. As a result...


    This legendary peak boss instantly perished!


    Two colorful orbs of light exploded out and were effortlessly collected by the demigod yer.


    At that moment, everyone present waspletely stunned. Just a second ago, they had confidently asserted that it was impossible for any single yer to wipe out these bosses. Yet in the next moment, this mysterious demigod showcased what truly overwhelming power looked like!


    A solo kill… no, it was more like an absolute thrashing of a legendary peak boss, easily overpowering an entire bossstrategygroup. In the hands of this demigod, that formidable existence was as fragile as tissue paper!


    Moreover, the way the massive bat skeleton boss died was almost identical to that of the other bosses present.


    Any yer with a bit ofmon sense could deduce the truth: all the bosses had likely been annihted by this one demigod alone.


    In an instant, the yers'' expressions turned to shock. They looked at the figure shrouded in ck energy, their eyes filled with fear and respect!


    This level of strength was something that, even with the Hall of Valor''s ability to gather talent, yers had never encountered before. They felt…


    This demigod was destined to join the ranks of the many deities in the Hall of Valor, and even thebat power of ordinary deities could notpare to him.


    The yers felt as if they were witnessing the rise of an extraordinarily remarkable being, like the sun slowly ascending in the sky.


    "Is something the matter?"


    The demigod looked at the crowd of yers, seemingly raising an eyebrow, his tone casual.


    As for the yers, they instinctively took a step back. In an instant, many legendary peak and high-tier legendary yers, who held considerable status both in the outside world and in the Hall of Valor, found themselves bowing subserviently.


    "Nothing''s wrong."


    "Nothing at all."


    "You do what you need to do…"


    ...


    Who dared to say anything?


    Even though the demigod had ughtered so many bosses, surely acquiring terrifying drops, no one had the courage to utter another word. After all, he could just as easily dispose of them!


    They could only stand there like humble subjects, extremely tense, silently waiting until the figure of the demigod vanished.


    Once he was gone, the yers collectively sighed in relief, each gasping for breath.


    "The pressure was too much!"


    "That was terrifying! I feel like I''ve never felt this uneasy even in the presence of a deity."


    "Could it be that this is what they mean when they say cmities are approaching, and there will certainly be those who bear the brunt? This level of demigod power is a bit outrageous…"


    ...


    The yers continued to discuss among themselves.


    The scenes of today would likely be etched in their minds forever. A single yer had single-handedly ughtered dozens of bosses!


    ...


    Meanwhile, on one side of Heavenly Curtain Canyon, within a concealed formation, the demigod was absorbing the Fire of Ten Thousand Souls, exhaling several heavy breaths of foul air.


    "Finally back to life!" The demigod, known as Sterl, felt a significant relief from the throbbing headache that had gued him.


    Indeed, he had killed those bosses. However, while it appeared effortless on the surface, the reality was that the cost was not small.


    Faced with thebined assault of up to twenty bosses, Sterl had felt a hint of panic at that moment. Thus, he decisively activated Silent Domain, sealing the abilities of all the bosses, and then used Arcane Law to amplify his power to the fullest,unching Rain Curtain Sword.


    With the dual boost of tinum-level skills, Sterl easily swept through his enemies. The only issue was that he had nearly exhausted all the potions he carried, including Energy Surge Capsules and Glory Potions; he only had the ones he exchanged with Valor Contribution Points left.


    Moreover, he had fallen into a state of extreme exhaustion.


    As for the actual process of fighting the bosses, it was rather unremarkable; Sterl''s damage output was so high that the bosses were quickly in!


    The scene that the yers had witnessed earlier was due to one boss possessing the ability to merge into the shadow world. Sterl happened to have Shadow Stealth as well, allowing him to chase it into that realm and dispatch it with a single sword strike.


    Upon discovering the yers'' presence in the shadow world, Sterl quickly disguised himself as a demigod. Coupled with his earlier performance, he indeed managed to intimidate the group.


    Otherwise, if the yers had greedily attempted to fight for the bosses'' drops, Sterl would have had to waste more consumables.


    The key issue was that killing other yers wouldn''t yield any drops either, even in Heavenly Curtain Canyon!


    This area merely lifted the monitoring of the Hall of Valor, but yers of the same faction were still considered allies! There was no benefit in killing them.


    Fortunately, Sterl''s disyedbat power was so astonishing that, even if the yers might have thought that this demigod seemed somewhat weakened, no one dared to make a move.
