A boss that would definitely drop the Proof of Ascension?
This was definitely a bolt from the blue. Since the launch of the Heaven Domain version, only Cool Breeze Flying Snow had managed to ascend twice. However, the strength he displayed was enough to stun everyone. During the clash with Autumn Rain Time, the video of Ling Xue instantly killing the Holy Domain player, Celestial Fire, had been uploaded to the official forums. It had even spread to other countries, causing quite a commotion for a time. The difference between Heaven Domain players and Holy Domain players was like the difference between heaven and earth. Once a player ascended to the Heaven Domain, they would undergo a qualitative transformation.
Furthermore, players who obtained the Shrine Legacy could condense halos that greatly increased the Attributes of their allies. This was also a factor that could tip the scales of a large-scale Nation War. With so much information, who could remain indifferent to the Heavenly Domain's Ascension Proof?
I asked calmly, "When did this quest start?
When will it end? "
The Shadow Follower said, "The boss will arrive at Silver Spear City in two hours. However, this is a siege battle. The Barbaric Throne seems to be very confident and has already issued a Hero's Order, ordering the players of the India server to attack the boss. He doesn't seem worried at all that someone else will steal the Proof of Ascension..."
"Two hours?"
I thought for a moment and said, "Wind, gather the Yinyao Cavalry. Don't get close to Silver Spear City, just 5 kilometers away from the city. I will come online in about an hour and fly over to meet up with you. No matter what, we cannot let the Barbaric Throne ascend to Heavenly Domain. Otherwise, the China server will be in an absolutely passive position. After obtaining the Shrine of Gods' Inheritance, the Barbaric Throne will definitely lead his army south. The first to suffer will be Soul Battle Robes' Earth Tooth City, and the second will be our Heavenly Key City!"
Dark Shadow Drifting Wind chuckled. "Yeah. We've farmed the Silver Radiance Warhorses a few more times over the past few days. We now have over 80,000 Silver Radiance Cavalrymen, and Flurry of Spring and Autumn has also arranged for people to craft quite a few Blades of Destruction. I'm sure this army will pose a huge threat to Barbaric Throne.
"Yes, go!"
I hung up and found the girls around me staring at me with wide eyes.
"What happened?" Ling Xue asked with concern.
I told her about the Barbaric Throne and the Proof of Ascension. Ling Xue immediately smiled and said, "Very good. The Scholar's chance to ascend has come!"
I replied calmly, "It's hard to say. Our opponent is the Barbaric Throne, and this Proof of Ascension announcement was made by the system. Every player in the world knows about it. It's already difficult enough to steal something from the Barbaric Throne, not to mention that Dark Roar and Dark Adjudicators are also eyeing us. Also, Seven-star Lamp won't just stand by and watch. That means we have even more enemies. The Waning Moon In The Morning Breeze and Seven-star Lamp are definitely more desperate for the Proof of Ascension than we are.
They need an ascended player to turn the tide. "Bing Cha rubbed his hands and smiled." Don't worry, we already have Ling Xiao Xue, the Temple of Gods heir. Plus, isn't killing people and stealing treasures from an army your specialty, Scholar?
I heard that the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties did many such dirty things in the Eternal Moon era... "
I raised my eyebrows. "What are you talking about? I haven't been a thief for many years..."
Bing Cha covered his mouth and smiled. "Cut the crap and eat. We're going to do something big this afternoon!
We'll steal the Proof of Ascension and let Barbaric Throne, Seven-star Lamp, and The Waning Moon In The Morning Breeze cry! "
The girls giggled and picked up their chopsticks. Taste of Immortal's food was delicious, and it wasn't inferior to my Sweet Spring Dreams. In fact, it was even better. No wonder its business was so good that it became famous all over the country in just two short months.
… …
An hour later, after eating and drinking to his heart's content, he drove back to the studio. After drinking a glass of water, he rushed into his room and went online.
Whoosh!
I appeared in Heavenly Key City and summoned T-rex. At the same time, I pulled Ling Xue, Bing Cha, and the other girls over. Five minutes later, T-rex flew toward Silver Spear City and locked onto the Shadow Follower's position. They had reached the outskirts of Silver Spear City and were hiding in a dense forest.
In less than half an hour, T-rex had arrived above the Yinyao cavalry. As expected, a large group of silver-black horses stood in the forest. Their swords and armor were bright, and their flags were all over the sky. The cavalry all had their hands on their sword hilts and were ready to go. It seemed like they would immediately slaughter their way out and bathe Silver Spear City in blood the moment the Shadow Follower gave the order.
I used Eyes of Star to scan the area and noticed a domain fluctuation coming from the edge of the forest. Eyes of Star shone brightly and immediately found the target.
He saw a girl wearing armor riding on a warhorse, holding a longbow in her hand as she passed through the bushes. From time to time, she would stop and look around with her beautiful eyes. A pair of elven ears on the tip of a sword trembled slightly, as if she had discovered something strange.
Her entire body was in the void. That was Stealth. In the entire China server, there was only one heavy armor player who could do this. That's right, Snow Moon's Nangong Yuexi. She was known as the fastest and strongest scout leader.
Nangong Yuexi raised her head and looked at the sky. When she saw T-rex, she smiled and sent me a message, "Scholar, go take a look at Silver Spear City. I don't dare to get too close. Barbaric Throne is roaming outside the city with Qinghe and Wind Xuan. If they notice me, I won't be able to keep my life."
I nodded, "Okay, leave it to me."
As I said that, I landed on the ground and put down Bing Cha and Soundless Rain. Then, I took Ling Xue and flew back into the sky. Ling Xue didn't mind. She could leave T-rex and fly on her own at any time. As the only successor of the Shrine of Gods, she had the Legacy Aura and her survivability was unparalleled.
A trace of shadow flew across the ground. T-Rex rushed towards the Silver Spear City at an extremely fast speed. In less than half a minute, the Silver Spear City was surrounded by monsters. A large group of Undead Knights were attacking the Silver Spear City. These were the subordinates of the BOSS commander.
The Barbaric Throne relied on the strength of the Indian region's troops and horses to lead a large group of cavalry out of the city. They rushed back and forth to kill the monsters, brandishing their sharp swords as if there was no one there. This guy was indeed a talented general. Whether it was his military strength or his ability to command, he was second to none. Sure enough, the books were right, heroes were born in troubled times.
The setting of the Spirit of Grief Continent was chaos, and heroes were born everywhere. Holy Helm City's Dark Roar, Dark Adjudicator, India Region's Barbarian Roar, Korea Region's Full Moon Dance, and France Region's Brave Heart were all outstanding generals. The China region was even more talented. Seven-star Lamp, The Waning Moon In The Morning Breeze, Hellfire, Dragon Soul, and A Speck of Dust were all outstanding generals. Not to mention, there were also outstanding generals like Solitary Grave, Lin Shuang, and Very Cute. I was sure that this was one of the reasons why the China region was able to dominate half of the world.
I increased the altitude of T-rex and entered the clouds. I used Eyes of Star to observe the situation on the ground. Hmph hmph, Barbaric Throne was too arrogant. There were at least tens of millions of elite players gathered in Silver Spear City. No wonder they were so arrogant that they wanted to obtain the proof of ascension.
However, the ground clearly showed that there were many blue dots in all directions of Silver Spear City. I didn't know who they were, but it was obvious that these forces were all enemies to Barbaric Throne. Once the Boss appeared, these people would definitely be a thorn in Barbaric Throne's back.
In the party channel, Bing Cha asked, "Scholar, should we charge over and block the Boss's path?
If we stop the Boss halfway and kill it, then we won't have to fight head-on with Barbaric Throne. "
I thought for a moment before replying with a smile, "There's no need for that. Ice Tea, you should check the system notification. You'll see that the Heavenly Ascension Token can be picked up instantly, and it doesn't matter who the boss drops it. Anyone can pick it up, so there's no need to fight for it. We'll head over after the boss appears. It's a Divine Rank boss, so it'll take at least half an hour or so to kill it. The Silver Radiance Cavalry can sweep through any map in half an hour."
Bing Cha smiled. "Okay, then we will be the oriole behind us!"
… …
Right at that moment, I felt a chill behind me.
I instantly understood that I had been discovered!
I turned around and as expected, a giant green dragon charged out of the clouds. It was the Green Dragon Knight that I hadn't seen in a long time — Dark Adjudicator!
I grinned. "Nice to meet you!"
Dark Adjudicator was shocked. "Why are you here?"
"What about you?"
Everyone had a tacit understanding. Silver Spear City attracted a super Boss and also attracted the attention of the world. As the top guild in the United States, there was no reason for Dark World to give up such a good chance to obtain the proof of ascension. There were only seventeen spots, and one ascension meant one less. No expert could wait.
Dark Adjudicator's lips twitched and he said coldly, "This is India, not a place you should be. Scram back to Heavenly Key City!"
My gaze turned cold. "What, do you really think that you are the police of the world?
Whether or not I am here isn't something you can care about, right? "
Dark Adjudicator flashed the spear in his hand and laughed coldly. "Is that so?
Then I am going to care about it! "
I couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at?!" Dark Adjudicator hollered.
I said calmly, "You are Dark Roar's top general and also Dark World's signature fighter. I am thinking, if I kill you, what kind of expression would Dark Roar have?"
"You!"
Dark Adjudicator's eyes bulged and he shouted angrily, "There is no use in talking. Then come and try, you China brat!
You were lucky last time, I should have killed you during the bounty period! "
At that moment, a layer of coldness covered my eyes. Last time, this bastard had chased after me and Ling Xue, causing a huge obstacle for us. This time, I'm riding the Obsidian Dragon. Let's see what this brat can do to me!
I used the back of my North Dark Sword to pat T-rex's blade-like armor and laughed coldly. "Then I shall use you as a testing stone!"
