It will be shocking for anyone's ears.
Someone only entered the Ghost Tower for two hours, and by successively acquiring 4 Ghost Stones, instantly upgraded the Transcendent Set from 16 stars to 20-star quality.
Starting from 15 stars and now reaching 20 stars, the equipment prefix finally evolved from [Legendary] to [Mythical].
This also means that the improvement effect gained this time by the Transcendent Set far exceeds any previous one.
Besides the basic attributes of the equipment being greatly enhanced, unlocking the seventh set skill slot, and all currently held six skill effects being strengthened.
Each set skill has evolved a new trait—
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
— [Void Shield]: Converts 100% of dealt damage into a shield; the shield value cannot exceed 12 times the health cap of the Protector. The shield can be applied to self or up to ten teammates, and while the shield exists, increases the Protector's attack power by 100% and damage by 1000%.
• Special effect: Other targets protected by the Void Shield also gain shield absorption, converting 50% of their dealt damage into shields.
— [Thunder Power]: Increases lightning skill damage by 1500%, and reduces all lightning skills' cooldowns by 50% and resource cost by 50%.
• Special effect: All non-lightning skills of the skill holder gain an additional 30% lightning damage bonus (based on 30% of total lightning skill damage bonus).
— [Enchantment]: Enchants the weapon, consuming 1% max HP per second, increases damage by 1500%, and additionally grants 500% armor penetration/pierce and 400% crit rate.
• Special effect: Enemies hit by the enchanted weapon have their healing effects reduced by 50%.
— [Abyss Breath]: Each 1% HP is converted into 12% damage and 10% damage reduction. The higher the HP, the higher the bonus. At full HP, +1200% damage and 1000% damage reduction.
• Special effect: At full HP, additionally gain 600% magic penetration and 600% armor resistance/penetration resistance.
— [Thunder Electric Shield]: Each time a lightning skill is used, grants up to ten nearby teammates 10 stacks of Electric Shield. When teammates attack or receive damage, one layer is automatically consumed. Each shield layer provides 1500% damage boost when attacking, and 1200% damage reduction when taking damage, stackable up to 100 layers.
• Special effect: Each Electric Shield on teammates additionally grants 10% damage boost and 8% damage reduction, stackable up to 100 layers.
— [Water Shield]: Active skill. Applies a Water Shield to self, pet, or teammate. When the Water Shield bearer is attacked, reduces the attacker's 1200% damage boost, 600% armor penetration/pierce, and 300% crit rate. While the shield exists, consumes 5580 mana per second, and consumption increases by 50% per additional protected target.
• Special effect: While Water Shield exists, when the bearer is attacked, 50% of the damage is reflected to the attacker.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
This round of improvement can be described as a complete sublimation.
And the 4-star continuous upgrade of the Transcendent Set has caused Zhang Yue's current strength to undergo a qualitative change.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
At this moment, Zhang Yue had already advanced to the fifth floor of the Ghost Tower.
The number of Soul Devourers around had already started forming a Level 3 beast tide.
Their strength was already 50% higher compared to normal level 110 monsters.
Countless Soul Devourers surrounded the area.
Staring at Zhang Yue, eyeing him greedily.
They delusionally wanted to devour Zhang Yue.
Unaware that Zhang Yue, who had tasted the sweetness of getting four Ghost Stones from the previous four floors, was already eager to devour them instead.
"Come, the fifth Ghost Stone!"
With that said, Zhang Yue launched into slaughter...
The activity caused by the opening of the Ghost Tower was already known throughout the entire world.
However, most people only knew that the Ghost Tower of the World 19 had been opened, but did not know which nation's person had opened the Ghost Tower.
Except for the Seven Great Nations.
Cold nation, Eastern Nation, Beacon Nation, Oil Nation, Batan, Okaman, and Sun Nation.
They knew it was Zhang Yue who entered the Ghost Tower.
And in response, the professionals of the Seven Great Nations had already launched targeted actions.
Within the Seven Great Nations, countless high-level professionals at levels 300–400 had deliberately rushed back from the higher worlds, gathering within the World 19, launching a massive slaughter of Soul Devourers.
High-level killing of low-level monsters yields no returns.
But their goal wasn't for monster loot, but for their plan.
———
In the Cold nation, capital city Han City.
Inside a central skyscraper office.
Kwon Ji-Hyun, the Frost Mage King and the strongest of Cold nation, was staring at the live projection playing on the wall.
Displayed on screen was a large group of high-level professionals at levels 300–400, slaughtering level 106–110 Soul Devourers in the World 19.
At this moment, Celebrity Junshin, who was also quietly watching the projection, said doubtfully, "Is this plan really feasible?"
"Inoue Amano did remind me," Kwon Ji-Hyun stared calmly at the screen and said solemnly, "Didn't you notice? In the World 19, all the Soul Devourers that are killed, their corpses all turn to ashes shortly afterward."
"Yes," Celebrity Junshin replied, "I know, it's different from the corpse refresh mode of other world monsters."
Kwon Ji-Hyun asked, "Then do you know where those ashes end up?"
Celebrity Junshin suddenly seemed to realize something, enlightened, "Could it be... the Ghost Tower?"
"Exactly," said Kwon Ji-Hyun, "All killed Soul Devourers turn into resentment, concentrating into the Ghost Tower, and after a period of sedimentation, they are reshaped inside the Ghost Tower."
"And during the period the Ghost Tower is open, this resentment can directly enter the Ghost Tower, skipping the sedimentation process."
"So all we need to do is massively hunt Soul Devourers in the World 19, sending endless resentment into the Ghost Tower, strengthening the monsters inside, and through their hands, easily eliminate Zero."
"So that's how it is," Celebrity Junshin suddenly understood, but then thought again and became uneasy, "But that Necromancer from Dragon nation is so strong. Can those same-level small monsters in the World 19 really kill him?"
Kwon Ji-Hyun took a sip of the coffee in his hand and said unhurriedly, "Indeed, his strength is very powerful."
"But no matter how strong, can he alone withstand a beast tide?"
"Beast... beast tide!", Hearing those words, even Celebrity Junshin couldn't help but feel fear. Evidently, he had previously experienced the sweep of a beast tide, and knew how terrifying they were.
Kwon Ji-Hyun continued calmly, "Even if he can withstand a level one, level two, or even level three beast tide—"
"Then what about level four beast tide, or level five beast tide?"
