After I came to own the Guardian Dragon Armor, the Cyan Dragon Shield, the Fire God Helmet and many more Sacred Armaments or better defensive equipment, my HP and defensive stats were tough enough to go toe-to-toe against an Ancient Immortal Rank boss. Moreover, Ancient Immortal Rank bosses ultimately weren’t Divine Rank bosses. As long as we could figure out their patterns, it was still very possible to end them without losing a single life. That was exactly what we did during the first twenty minutes we had fought against Bloodthirsty Emissary Zishui.

There were three Icy Cyclone Domains surrounding the battlefield. Every 7 seconds or so, Beiming Xue would fire Skypiercer to further narrow the space Zishui could run to while I made the runs. If Zishui tried to enter stealth during this time, I could immediately break it with a skill or two. Zishui would enter stealth once every 15 seconds and flush away any threat we accumulated before attacking a random target. Usually, one well-timed and well-placed Coiling Dragon Revolution was enough to draw him back to me, but that didn’t make the fight much easier.

For 20 minutes, we fought cautiously and conscientiously. Eventually, Zishui’s HP dropped to 50%.
