In the forest outside Heavenly Key City, Snow Moon and the others surrounded Ling Xue.
"How do we teleport?" Bing Cha asked.
Ling Xue smiled but didn't say anything. Her beautiful eyes were suddenly covered in a layer of icy light. Then, the sky changed color and a pair of ice wings formed by powerful domain energy spread out behind Ling Xue.
Whoosh!
A pillar of light pierced through the clouds. Ling Xue smiled. "Walk in and you will naturally be able to climb the stairway to Heaven Realm."
"Oh?"
Bing Cha walked over doubtfully. When her entire body was enveloped by the light pillar, she suddenly cried out in surprise. Her entire body turned into countless golden splendors and flew into the sky along the light pillar. As expected, she had broken through the void!
"Let's go?"
Ling Xue pouted at the rest of us.
I raised my sword and walked over, bringing along Fragrance of Rice and Snow Grass. After coming into contact with the pillar of light, my entire body relaxed and I was pulled into the map of the Heaven Realm by the mysterious power.
Whoosh!
My eyes lit up and we appeared on a broken stairway to Heaven Realm. The sky in front of us was filled with clouds and celestial energy. Divine light rained down. In front of us, there were many palaces surrounded by celestial energy.
Ling Xue pointed. "There, those 17 palaces are the shrines. My Frost Shrine is on the far right, the blue one..."
Bing Cha was envious. "Xiao Xue, you already have a house..."
Ling Xue smiled. "So you should hurry up and get to Level 275 and try to get more Heaven Realm players in Xue Yue Studio. This is too important for us."
Chrysanthemum Daohana smiled. "Is Heaven Realm really that important?"
I nodded. "Yes. There's a limit to the number of players in Heaven Domain, and there are only seventeen of them. I'm guessing that if a guild has three to five Shrine Inheritors, they'll be able to sweep through the entire world. This is absolutely true. The usefulness of Heaven Domain players far exceeds our imagination."
"Let's go grind!"
"En!"
Ling Xue turned around and smiled: "Currently, only four maps have been opened in the Heaven Realm. Look, it's right behind us."
Everyone turned around in unison and gasped in surprise. Four maps were floating in the clouds. It was like a world in a fairyland. The map closest to them was a swamp area. It was our destination — the Devil Swamp!
Xue Jiancao's jaw dropped. "You're exaggerating. They're all floating in the sky. If you don't have a flying mount, you won't be able to go up at all!"
Ling Xue couldn't help but smile, "I can bring you up ~"
That's right. Now that Heaven's Domain's players had wings, they also had the ability to fly. It wouldn't even matter if a player was a Dragon Knight once they ascended to Heaven's Domain. As long as their Mount's Attributes weren't too low, they could still fight to the death with a Dragon Knight.
To save myself some trouble, I summoned T-rex.
Xiaoqing appeared in midair with a howl. The cruel T-rex paled in shock. It clearly hadn't seen the world before, and it was stunned by the scenery in the Heaven Realm.
"Come on, let's go to the swamp!"
I called out to the girls and put them on its back. T-rex kicked its hind legs and shot into the air. In the blink of an eye, we were in the sky above the Devil Swamp. Then, it put us down one by one.
Puchi!
My Eternal War Boots stepped on the muddy and grassy ground. It didn't feel good at all.
"Be careful, the monsters in the Heaven Realm are probably very fierce …"
I pulled out the Scarlet Heaven Sword and walked at the front. I didn't forget to warn the girls behind me. Chrysanthemum Daohana and Xue Jiancao were very careful. They formed a Cyclone Shield in unison.
"Big bro, look over there …"
Chrysanthemum Daohana pointed, and bubbles appeared in the water. It looked like something was swimming toward us!
"A shark?" Bing Cha blinked.
"Impossible, it ran aground a long time ago …"
I went up to meet it and used Divine Dragon Slash!
Boom!
Mud splashed everywhere, and a holy aura seeped into the grass. Suddenly, something that was swimming in the water jumped out of the water. It was a huge green snake. Moreover, this snake had a pair of small wings that were flapping in the air. It stared at us with its bean-sized eyes!
[Greedy Wind Snake] (Purgatory Rank Monster)
Level: 272
Attack: 740000 ~ 1020000
Defense: 1100000
HP: 7000000
Skills: [Venom Attack], [Sharp Howl], [Paralyzing Sting]
Introduction: An ancient creature with powerful venom and paralyzing abilities. It can also let out a sharp howl to deal damage to its enemies. After the War of the Gods, the Greedy Wind Snake was tamed by the devils and became a low-rank guardian of the Devil Swamp in the Heaven Realm …
We looked at each other for a moment.
"Purgatory … Purgatory Grade …" Ling Xue's mouth was agape as she said in shock, "The system has never mentioned anything about Purgatory Grade monsters before …"
I nodded. "It looks like a Purgatory Rank monster is stronger than a Warsong Rank monster. It's only second to a miniboss. We're rich! This monster's experience and drop rate must be extraordinary!"
Bing Cha looked excited. He patted his Xiezhi and said with a smile, "Then let's hurry up and kill it. I want to level up to 275, and I want a room with two bedrooms!"
I couldn't help but be speechless. At that moment, Dao Hana placed her jade flute to the side of her mouth. Her red lips opened slightly and a short melody resounded in the air. Following that, she cast a soul sealing technique that accurately struck the Greedy Wind Snake. That large snake desperately wriggled its tail, but it was powerless. Who told it to meet Xue Yue's strongest witch? The only road left for it was death.
Thud!
The Corrosive Arrow tore through the Wind Snake's scales and leaves. I pulled out my Scarlet Heaven Sword and used Shield Breaking Slash!
"Puchi!"
The Wind Snake screamed in pain as its flesh splattered everywhere!
“1733048！”
Hmph hmph, as expected of a skill that ignored Defense. Even a Purgatory Rank monster couldn't withstand a single hit from this skill!
I spun around and used Total Annihilation. The Wind Snake continued to scream in pain, but Ling Xue also flew over and slashed the Wind Snake's head with the God Dancing Sword wrapped in inheritance energy!
“2573746！”
Fuck!
I was dumbfounded. Ling Xue's attack power had already surpassed mine?
Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case. The Eternal Equipment Set had the Destruction effect, which was many times stronger than the S6. Right now, Ling Xue's DPS was firmly above mine. There could only be one reason for this, and that was the inheritance energy. After the Holy Domain's energy was upgraded to inheritance energy, its Attack and Damage must have increased a lot!
I couldn't take it anymore. My heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat. If I didn't ascend to the Heavenly Domain, the heavens wouldn't forgive me!
Bing Cha attacked together, and Snow Seeing Grass buffed me with Goddess's Oath. My Attack greatly increased, and I caught up to Ling Xue. The Wind Snake didn't have long to live. It fell to the ground in almost ten seconds.
"Crash!"
It dropped a small pile of gold and a pitch-black wristguard!
I picked it up and couldn't help but laugh —
Evil Spirit Wristguard: Level 265 High-grade Immortal-grade armor. Increases Defense by 25%.
… …
"I didn't expect this..." I was so happy that I couldn't close my mouth. I threw the Evil Spirit Wristguard into my bag and said, "A Level 265 Immortal-grade armor set with stats no worse than the S4. We're rich this time. If we collect a few sets and sell them in White Cloud City's auction house, we'll make a fortune..."
"It can't be that bad..." Ling Xue said exasperatedly. "According to the official information, the Devil Swamp does drop Evil Spirit Sets, but the drop rate is less than 1%. It won't be easy to collect a full set..."
I shook my head and smiled. "Of course not. I have 60 Luck, so I should have a 10% drop rate. If that's the case, how hard will it be to collect the Evil Spirit Set?"
Ling Xue smiled. "Alright then. Sister Bing Cha, let's take it easy. We'll let Scholar deal the final blow to all the mobs, and we'll just slack off."
"Yes, that's exactly what I wanted!" Bing Cha smiled.
And so we made an agreement. For the sake of RMB, everything could be sacrificed.
A full Evil Spirit Set could sell for at least 100,000 RMB. If we killed a few sets a day, we'd be rich. Xun Fangzai was hiding somewhere working hard, so I had to continue working hard. I had to do my best to suppress him in the game and obtain an overwhelming advantage in my personal bank account!
"Splash!"
At this time, another Greedy Wind Serpent jumped out of the water!
Chrysanthemum Daohana hurriedly said, "Everyone, be careful. My Rhythm Roundabout is still on cooldown. I might not be able to seal it!"
As expected, Xiangxiang's Soul Seal was dodged by the Purgatory Rank monster. The Greedy Wind Serpent shot toward me and spat venom at my head!
"Puchi!"
I felt a numbing sensation on my face. I was poisoned, and I was losing several thousand HP every second.
Not only that, the Greedy Wind Serpent became even more fearless and shouted at the top of its lungs —
Sharp Howl, reducing all surrounding targets' stats by 10% for 10 seconds!
Seeing the Greedy Wind Serpent howl like a resentful woman, I couldn't take it anymore. I raised my sword and used Total Annihilation, successfully interrupting the skill!
Ling Xue also used Total Annihilation. Under the chain of attacks, the Wind Serpent lost half of its HP. In reality, this monster had a hard life. When the Heavenly Realm map opened, the first guests it received were us. Scarlet Heaven Sword, Emperor Fall Sword, and Green Jade Song were all Heavenly Divine Weapons. Ling Xue's God's Dance was an Immemorial Divine Weapon. With four divine weapons attacking together, this Wind Serpent would have a hard time not dying.
At this time, the Wind Serpent's tail suddenly rose up. With a "clang", its shell opened, revealing a green stinger. It glowed with a green light. It was clearly something poisonous!
Before I could dodge, the Wind Serpent's stinger had already arrived!
Paralyzing Stinger!
"Pu!"
My body heated up, and my mind went blank. I was actually paralyzed!
I couldn't move, and could only stand there in a daze. After being paralyzed for a whole six seconds, I couldn't help but curse, "Fuck!"
Ling Xue blinked. "We know."
Me: "..."
I killed the Wind Serpent in two or three strikes. This time, it didn't drop any equipment, but it did drop a Level 4 strengthened Melting Snow Gem. I gave it to Snow Seeing Grass. I didn't know that a normal Purgatory Rank monster would drop a strengthened gem. It was too rare. This kind of gem could be sold for a pot of Pickled Cabbage Fish.
(Last time, 17 shrines were announced. Light Shrine repeated it. After correction, it was called Purgatory Shrine.)
