Chapter 641: Top-tier Set: The Kunlun Set
Fire Beak, Ice Tail, Wind Wing, Thunder Claw.
A massive bird composed of the elements descended from the sky with the sound of wind and thunder.
Without any warning, it rushed towards the undead army at an astonishing speed, almost comparable to when the Headless Horseman used its Charge skill.
A pair of lightning claws grabbed two Headless Horsemen, the claws tightening around them as their armor made crunching sounds.
But it did not crush them as expected.
As long as the damage did not instantly kill the Headless Horsemen, all damage would be shared among the undead army, making it impossible to easily kill them.
The Headless Horsemen fought back from within the claws, their bone swords continuously stabbing towards the giant bird.
Lin Muyu cast a Probe spell.
This giant bird had clearly surpassed the instance's limit, with a soul perception level of around 84.
Such a BOSS would be difficult for any team to deal with.
However, Lin Muyu also realized that if he had not simultaneously opened all four pedestals and combined the four elemental paths into one, this BOSS would not have been so powerful.
[Kunlun Giant Eagle (World-class Leader)]
[Level: 82]
[Strength: 1,200,000]
[Agility: 1,600,000]
[Spirit: 1,200,000]
[Vitality: 1,400,000]
[Skill: Elemental Assault]
[Trait: Fire Elemental Immunity, Wind Elemental Immunity, Water Elemental Immunity, Lightning Elemental Immunity]
World-class Leader was the strongest title for a BOSS within an instance.
Only the BOSSes in large-scale instances would be called World-class Leaders.
Many people believed that World-class Leaders and World BOSSes were existences of the same level.
The only difference was that those in instances were called Leaders, while those in the wild were called BOSSes. Their attribute totals were almost identical.
However, those people had never truly faced a World BOSS before.
Not to mention single-handedly killing one.
They only had a superficial understanding.
In Lin Muyu's eyes, World BOSSes were definitely stronger than the Leaders in instances.
Even if they were the same level and had similar attributes.
World BOSSes possessed various defensive traits, like the Venomous Reptile whose very poison attribute was extremely troublesome.
In comparison, the Leaders in instances were much easier to deal with.
Lin Muyu had already killed countless World BOSSes and did not even consider the mere 82-level Kunlun Giant Eagle a threat.
However, since it was constantly in flight and incredibly fast, it was not easy to pursue.
Its four elemental immunities also greatly reduced the power of the Skeleton Archmage's Elemental Chaos.
Only the Soul Archer's Soul Piercing could deal some damage to it.
But if he wanted to kill it, it would take quite some time.
Lin Muyu did not want to waste time, so with a thought, he pointed his finger towards the sky, and the heavens instantly darkened.
Dark clouds gathered overhead, and a fierce wind swept through.
The exquisite Skeleton King's throne appeared in the air.
The divine-level Skeleton King, over 20 meters tall and composed of 100,000 skeletons, slowly rose from the throne.
The divine-level Skeleton King, with a peak level of 92 and the ability to reach level 93 when using skills, caused the very space to groan upon its appearance.
Faced with the divine-level Skeleton King, the Kunlun Giant Eagle, as the instance's Leader, appeared flustered and flew about in a panic.
The Skeleton King swung its massive sword, unleashing a chilling blade of light.
Skill: God Slayer!
With the Kunlun Giant Eagle as the sole target, God Slayer reached its maximum power.
The Kunlun Giant Eagle's cries abruptly ceased as its massive body exploded within the blade of light.
One strike, instant kill.
The Kunlun Giant Eagle did not even have a chance to use its skills before being instantly killed.
For Lin Muyu, killing it was merely a matter of time.
He could either play around with it for a while or finish it quickly.
Currently, Lin Muyu was in a hurry, so he had no time to play with it.

Four pieces of equipment, each with different elements and properties.
The weapon's attached skill was average, nothing too special if you only looked at this weapon alone.
However, if you considered these pieces of equipment together, it was an entirely different story.
The Kunlun Giant Eagle dropped the Kunlun Set, a set that, while each individual piece had average attributes, would become extremely powerful when the entire set was collected.
Among near-legendary equipment, the complete Kunlun Set was top-tier.
Barring true legendary equipment, the Kunlun Set could be considered the strongest.
There were very few sets that could compare to it.
The complete Kunlun Set consisted of six pieces: a weapon, armor, ring, necklace, earrings, and bracelet. Moreover, each piece had different elemental attributes.
For example, the weapon would have variations for different classes, like swords for knights, bows for archers, and staves for mages.
It would also have corresponding attributes, bonuses to specific elemental skills, and random additional skills. The armor also had different attributes, elemental bonuses, and suited different classes.
With such a wide variety of combinations, the possibilities were nearly endless.
If a fire mage managed to obtain a complete Kunlun Set with unified fire attributes - a fire staff, fire armor, fire ring, fire necklace, fire earrings, and fire bracelet - even if given a legendary piece of equipment, they might not exchange it. However, collecting a unified set like that was extremely difficult.
Even among the top professionals of the human race, not all god-level experts had managed to collect a complete set.
This time, Lin Muyu had collected four pieces with different attributes.
A fire weapon, wind armor, lightning ring, and water bracelet.
At the moment, it seemed a bit disorganized and unsystematic.
If it had been another team killing the Giant Eagle and only using one key to open a single path, they would have only obtained one piece of the Kunlun Set.
With the type and attributes being random, who knows how long it would take to collect a full set.
A god-level expert once said that a Kunlun Set with unified attributes was part of the "Lifetime Series."
That god-level expert was even willing to trade his legendary weapon for a complete, unified Kunlun Set, but unfortunately, he could never obtain one.
Lin Muyu thought that perhaps he could farm the instance a few more times.
With his speed and ability, obtaining four Kunlun pieces each time, if he farmed it enough times, he might have a chance to collect the entire Kunlun Set.
The human race was severely lacking in legendary equipment, with only a handful of pieces.
As far as Lin Muyu knew, Meng Anwen's Divine Summer Pagoda was legendary, but Bai Yiyuan's fist weapon and Yan Kuangsheng's blade were not legendary, but rather top-tier near-legendary equipment.
Ning Tairan's precious staff also did not seem to be legendary.
The reason for the human race's lack of legendary equipment involved many factors.
The most crucial one was that the human race lacked god-level blacksmiths capable of forging such equipment.
Although someone like Meng Anwen could create legendary accessories if given enough materials.
An idea occurred to Lin Muyu - to collect a complete Kunlun Set for his teachers, which would undoubtedly aid their combat strength.
The thought flashed by before being suppressed.
"This matter is not urgent for now."
Lin Muyu turned his gaze back towards the Kunlun Divine Palace overhead.
The moment the Kunlun Giant Eagle died, not only did he obtain equipment, but the formation blocking his path also disappeared.
The path beyond the formation was now fully revealed, and the divine palace atop the peak was clearly visible.
This meant he was qualified to enter the divine palace.
"The instance truly did have a fourth stage."
"This is the real Kunlun Divine Palace instance."
Lin Muyu ascended the mountain, heading towards the peak where the Kunlun Divine Palace stood.
The raging winds carried the sound of wind chimes to his ears once more.
This time, Lin Muyu was prepared, tightening his soul force to avoid being influenced by external forces.
The Nine-Colored Dragon Soul Crystal spun around his soul, also on high alert.
Guarding his mind, undisturbed by external influences.
