"You!"
Seven-star Lamp's face turned ashen as he shouted, "I'll kill you!"
I smiled. "I won the quest!"
"Total Annihilation!"
Boundless energy surged above Ancient Sword Scarlet Heaven, and Fire Divine Dragons flew into the air!
"Ha?!
Is this … the additional effect of Scarlet Heaven Sword? "
I was pleasantly surprised. Bing Cha's Blue Sea Sword could randomly summon Blue Sea Dragons, Ling Xue's Blade of Snow Domain could summon Icicles, and my Earth Divine Weapon could summon Fire Divine Dragons to attack the enemy!
Seven-star Lamp had lost a lot of HP, but he let out a long roar at the critical moment and turned into a first-rate expert. Death Apparition was sent flying in the blink of an eye!
Total Annihilation only unleashed two slashes. The other three slashes landed on the General behind Seven Star Lamp — — Fei Peng. As a result, Fei Peng was unable to withstand the effects of the cyclone attack and died with a miserable cry!
That wasn't all. Three Fire Divine Dragons flew out of Scarlet Heaven Sword and devoured a group of people. It didn't last long, but dozens of people were one-shot. Their HP hit rock bottom, and they were one-shot in the truest sense of the word!
In the distance, Seven-Star Lamp didn't even have time to be happy before my skill flew out!
"Dragon Bind!"
A giant dragon flew out and enveloped Seven-star Lamp!
Seven-star Lamp's eyes flashed, and his longsword was covered in a black aura. He was waiting for me to get close because he still had a fatal skill — Curse of Darkness!
Thud thud thud!
The mages of Soul Battle Robes were attacking me, and every fireball was bone-chilling. If I didn't have Dragon Armor, Iron Wall, and other skills to defend, I would've been killed in an instant.
I didn't have time to think. Go, kill Seven-star Lamp, and victory would be mine!
Wild Charge!
Swhoosh!
I instantly appeared in front of Seven-star Lamp. His timing was precise, and he quickly used Curse of Fate and then raised the Chaos Heaven Piercing Blade!
Heavens, it's over!
I cursed under my breath. I hadn't expected a dark swordsman like Seven-star Lamp to have such a powerful domain. Even after being hit by Dragon Bind, he was still able to unleash such a powerful attack!
Left with no other choice, he forced his way in!
Scarlet Heaven Sword whizzed forward, Divine Dragon Slash!
Bang!
Dazzling sparks blossomed in the sky as the Scarlet Firmament Sword forcefully clashed with the Primal Chaos Sky Splitting Blade!
As a result, with a "ding" sound, the Primal Chaos Sky Splitting Blade's blade was cut into two, and the blade above it all collapsed into pieces. The system prompted that the Primal Chaos Sky Splitting Blade's durability had been completely destroyed. At this moment, its durability was zero, and the attack power provided to the user was also zero. This time, the Seven-star Lamp suffered a big loss.
"Bang!"
Without the blade, the Primal Chaos Heaven Splitting Blade was only left with an iron rod. It magnificently landed on my shoulder. It was obvious that it wouldn't be able to kill me instantly.
The Seven-star Lamp was shocked. "You … Motherf * cker, I is not a staff monk of the Shaolin Temple. Why did he give me an Eight Trigrams Staff …"
I chuckled. "Sorry about that, Seven-star Lamp!"
I swung my sword horizontally, and the Seven-star Lamp fell off his horse with a scream. The system notified me that the quest was complete!
Clearly, Seven-star Lamp had failed his quest, and he had lost a level.
Not only that, he had also dropped a pair of leg guards. I picked them up and saw that they were the Ice Bone Leg Guards. This was a piece of equipment that had been bound to a high-quality Immortal-grade item, but it had been forced out. This was the additional attack effect of the Holy Domain transformation. It wasn't hard to imagine that Holy Domain players were true killers. Not only could they kill people, they could also kill equipment!
… …
"That motherf * cker killed our gang leader! Brothers, let's avenge our gang leader!"
I didn't know who shouted it, but the players of Soul Battle Robes finally woke up and surged toward me with murderous intent!
"Bang!"
The beautiful Phantom Girl descended from the sky and sent a group of people flying with a single slash.
I quickly retreated and sent Melancholy a message at the same time: "Bring people over immediately!"
A few seconds later, the players of Snow Moon appeared in the forest. Melancholy waved a hand and said, "Go, kill everyone from Soul Battle Robes!"
I laughed, swung my sword and unleashed the skill, Flame Dance!
This was the special skill of the Scarlet Heaven Sword. After it was unleashed, balls of flames flew out and turned into fire dragons that fell into the crowd. They charged left and right as if they were invincible, and screams of pain filled the air!
That wasn't all. There were hundreds of Soul Battle Robes players here, and I had to take out some of them. Otherwise, Melancholy and the others wouldn't be able to kill them all.
I activated another special skill — Wrath of the Water God!
A tsunami immediately swept through the forest, and a group of players screamed in pain in the icy water. Their HP dropped by a large chunk, and they collapsed to the ground again in the blink of an eye.
Melancholy hurriedly said, "Alright, alright. Scholar, take a break and leave some for us. Otherwise, why did you call us over …"
I couldn't help but smile. Paralyzing Wind of Sorrow and his men charged forward and killed nearly a thousand Soul Battle Robes players in less than ten minutes. Not even a blade of grass was left behind!
Melancholy and his men went to clean up the battlefield. After I expressed my thanks, it was time for me to go to Longyu!
I took out the Longyu Ring, used it and flew to Snow Moon Domain in a flash!
Not far away, Bing Lan was staring at the sky below the peak of the mountain like a fairy. She looked at the life and death, joy and sorrow of the human world with a beautiful smile.
"I'm back."
I walked over and turned in the quest. Bing Lan smiled appreciatively. "Well done. Recently, some human experts have abandoned their humanity in pursuit of ultimate power and willingly threw themselves into the darkness. They must die, or the continent will never have peace again.
Come, this is your reward! "
Ding ~!
System Notice: You have completed the quest [Kill Seven-star Lamp]. Reward: Level + 3, 40000 gold, and the item [Helmet of Tranquility]!
… …
"Heh?
Another piece of equipment? This is great! Bing Lan is so kind! "
I opened my bag in pleasant surprise. As I expected, all the equipment Bing Lan gave me was Saint-rank. As expected of a powerful Main God NPC!
[Helmet of Tranquility] (Heaven-grade — Metal Armor)
Defense: 12400
Magic Resist: 8200
Strength: + 1200
Stamina: + 1140
Agility: + 1100
Intelligence: + 900
Passive: Increases user's hit rate by 20%
Passive: Increases user's Defense by 25%
Level Requirement: Holy Domain Level 50
Title Requirement: Endless Thunder
… …
"Hahaha, I've hit the jackpot!"
I was overjoyed. I was in dire need of Defense, and now I received this helmet. Bing Lan was like charcoal in snowy weather!
Serenity Helmet, a Holy Domain Level 50 Heaven Artifact. It actually added more than ten thousand Defense. Its stats were close to the Heavenly Forged set. Not only did it add more than ten thousand Defense, but it also added 25% overall Defense. If that was the case, then my overall Defense should be around three thousand. What a huge increase!
At Level 59, I earned some experience from killing Seven-star Lamp. I was just a little bit away from reaching Level 60.
I asked Bing Lan again, but she didn't give me any more quests. I continued to kill mobs in Longyu, clearing my red name first before returning to White Cloud City. I had someone to protect me in Longyu, so I didn't have to be afraid of anyone. The sense of security I felt wasn't small at all.
… …
Not long after, Seven-star Lamp sent me a message. "Good job, kid!
I won't let you escape so easily next time. Just you wait! "
I smiled and replied, "What makes you think you can do that?"
"Just the next time we meet, I'll be able to step into the Saint Domain!"
Seven-star Lamp's arrogance and confidence weren't small. It was this arrogance that allowed him and Soul Battle Robes to stand at the southwestern edge of the China server!
That was good. I wouldn't be lonely with a powerful opponent like Seven-star Lamp. At the very least, Seven-star Lamp wasn't a sinister person, and he used all his tricks openly. An opponent like him was countless times better than Wang Junjie.
Moreover, Snow Moon and Soul Battle Robes hadn't officially turned against each other yet. There were only occasional conflicts between them. It was impossible for the two guilds to live in peace. Harmony only existed in legends.
… …
Life in the game was sometimes dull and sometimes passionate. We worked at sunset and rested at sunrise.
More than half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
… …
Inside the King's City, I stood next to Armorsmith Ai Lan and asked her to embed some strengthened Blaze Gems into my weapon. When I took out the ancient sword Scarlet Heaven, Ai Lan's mouth fell open in shock. "Big bro, this … this is an ancient divine weapon?"
I nodded. "Yes. Can you embed 12 gems for me?"
"Okay!"
Ai Lan buried herself in her work. After a few clangs, the Scarlet Heaven Sword was embedded with Rank 12 Blaze Gems. Its Attack increased by another 2400. It was almost unprecedented.
Ai Lan returned the weapon to me. When I equipped the sword, Ai Lan said with a smile, "Big bro, you're so strong now …"
"Oh, is that so?" I laughed happily.
At the side, Ling Xue rolled her eyes at me. "What are you so proud of? Your level is so low, not even 100. I'm embarrassed to say anything …"
I chuckled and looked at the line above my head: Frivolous Scholar Snow Domain Cold Gale LV-99 (Holy Domain)
"I'm just one level away. I can accompany you guys to the Boneyard dungeon today!"
"Really?"
Ling Xue looked at the defensive equipment on my body and giggled, "Forget it. I think with your current stats, if you don't transform, you won't even be able to solo the first BOSS in the Boneyard."
I said, "Solo?
Duels are for boorish people. We always advocate teamwork. Xiao Xue, do you know what teamwork is?
team work！”
Ling Xue snappily smiled, "I've learned my lesson. May I ask this hero, where are we going to train tonight?"
"Boneyard?"
"Don't, you don't have experience there."
"Then where?
It wouldn't be Ancient Qin's Desolate Grave right? "
"I don't have experience there …" Ling Xue bit her lips and smiled. "Forget it, I'm already max level anyway. I don't get experience from killing monsters. Tonight, I'll accompany you to the Level 120 Dungeon Death Abyss."
"Really?
Great! "
… …
And so, at night, two warrior players excitedly went out to grind the Level 120 Death Abyss. The monsters inside ranged from Level 120 to Level 150, and they were all elites. The experience gained from killing them was definitely not low.
We walked beside a clear river and stepped on grass.
Ling Xue smiled and asked, "Shusheng, there are already so many Level 255 players in White Cloud City. Why isn't there a single person who has broken through to the Saint Realm?
I shook my head. "Who knows? Maybe there really are some really harsh conditions to enter the Holy Domain …"
"How annoying. I've already been max level for almost a week and I don't feel like breaking through at all!"
Ling Xue looked at the Blade of Snow Domain in her hand and said, "Could it be that this set of equipment has to stay at this level forever?
So boring … "
I smiled and opened the China server's Heavenly Ranking. As expected, there were already many players who had maxed out at Level 255 — —
Frivolous Scholar Level 99 (Holy Domain) Dragon Speaker
Breeze Catches the Moon Level 261 Ice Mage
Breeze Catches the Moon Level 255 Ice Swordsman
Solitary Grave Level 255 Dragon Knight
A Speck of Dust Level 255 Dragon Warrior
Shadow Follower Level 255 Swordsman
Zi Yun 'er Level 255 Holy Priest
8. Hellfire Lvl 255 Gale Warrior
Bing Zhiyi Level 254 Dragon Knight
June Snowfall Level 254 Sword Spirit Wizard
Magic Cube of Fate Level 254 Magic Archer
Fleeting Time Level 254 Dragon Knight
Little Butterfly Level 253 Star Moon Priest
14 、 Han Xin, Level 253 Feng Shui Master
Chrysanthemum Daohana Level 253 Soul Wizard
… …
In the entire China server, there were 6 Level 255 players and 1 Level 261 players. Ling Yue was a little embarrassed. Most people stopped leveling up after reaching Level 255, but Ling Yue had already broken through Level 261. She was really going to rush to Level 1000.
Bing Zhiyi was the first to reach Level 250. I had given her the Silver Snow Dragon egg a week ago, and if you saw a person flying around on a Silver Snow Dragon and waving at you with a smile, it had to be Bing Zhiyi. China's first Dragon Knight had finally arrived. If Brave Heart had come again, we would've sent an air force to meet the enemy.
There had been no news from Xue Yue Studio's Bing Cha for a long time. The last time he came online was a week ago, and his level hadn't increased at all. He was still Level 244, and who knew how long it would take for him to reach the Holy Domain.
Our inability to break through to Level 255 caused a lot of players to complain, but Eternal Moon Corporation was one step ahead of us. They released a new list of all seven top-tier dungeons —
[Ancient Sword Pool (5 players)]: Level 255, dropped the Zhurong set, Level 255 High-grade Immortal-grade, and has a low chance to drop all kinds of divine weapons. [Forest of Thousand Steles (5 players)]: Level 255, dropped the Famous General set, Level 255 High-grade Immortal-grade, and has a low chance to drop all kinds of divine weapons. [Nine Heavens Tower (5 players)]: Level 255, dropped the Black Tortoise set, Level 255 High-grade Immortal-grade, and has a low chance to drop all kinds of divine weapons. [Cyan Soul Cave (5 players)]: Level 255, dropped the Cyan Soul set, Level 255 High-grade Immortal-grade, and has a low chance to drop all kinds of divine weapons. [Azure Sea Pool (5 players)]: Level 255, dropped the Azure Sea set, Level 255 High-grade Immortal-grade, and has a low chance to drop all kinds of divine weapons. [Nuwa God Palace (5 players)]: Level 255, dropped the God Dance set, Level 255 High-grade Immortal-grade, and has a low chance to drop all kinds of divine weapons.
They were all Level 255 five-man dungeons, and they were all exclusive to the China server. They were incredibly difficult, and after half a month had passed, no one had cleared the first Ancient Sword Pool. Ling Yue had once invited a speck of dust, and then Xue Yue Studio's Ling Xue, Qin Yun, and Ling Yue herself, along with a Shadow Follower, had challenged the Ancient Sword Pool. However, they had lost three times!
This was something that had never happened before. The experts of Snow Moon and Clear Breeze City had teamed up and failed to clear the first of the seven dungeons. It was unbelievable.
Qin Yun, on the other hand, believed that the seven dungeons were prepared for Holy Domain players because they didn't need a level limit to enter them.
Ling Xue had urged me to go check out the Nuwa God Palace, but the moment I entered, there was a flash of white light and I was one-shot by something. Damn it!
… …
I was walking beside a small river with Ling Xue. Ling Xue was humming a song as she held the Snow Domain Blade behind her back. She looked at me with a gentle smile.
However, at this moment, Ling Yue sent a message. "Shusheng, get ready. At 12 o 'clock tonight, the American players stationed in Clear Breeze City will launch a sneak attack on our King's City. This news is very reliable.
"What?
The Americans are going to make the first move? "
I was stunned. Ling Xue also asked me suspiciously, "What should we do?"
"Nothing. I'll clear out the first floor of the Ancient Qin Barren Tomb and wait until I reach Level 100 before returning to the city. Didn't you guys prepare two pieces of top-tier Holy Domain equipment for me? With these two pieces of equipment, I should be able to be of some use!"
"Mn!"
