There is no final boss of literature, and the fact that people on /lit/ think otherwise shows how narrow and simplistic their view of literature is, as well as their profound indifference to actual literature.

Actually the concept of a literature final boss isn't that narrow minded. I'm not gonna elaborate because I know you're smart and you get what i'm saying.

That's incorrect. The actual reason why you won't elaborate is because you're a pseud and there is no meaning behind the words you say. Your words are just as empty as your head.

It is narrow minded. There is no “end” and there is no “final boss.” It’s that simple.

Beyond the semantics everyone else's arguing about, it sounds like you're looking for some incredibly challenging & dense work. The basic answer is Finnegan's Wake. But I think D'Arriga's untranslated Horcynus Orca and Schmidt's Bottom's Dream work too. Bottom's Dream is available in Englosh and, if you ask me, undoubtedly the most difficult book to read ever written.
