"Not good, is that … is that the Xuanyuan Sword?" God of War exclaimed in shock. He hurriedly turned his horse around and said, "Let's go, we can't stay here any longer …"
God of War turned tail and ran, but Breeze and Rain caught up to him and unleashed Soul Capture + Flurry combo. Is he trying to one-shot me and steal the scroll?!
I backed away quickly, took out the Xuanyuan Slash scroll and used it right away. The fourth player to ascend to the Heavenly River Realm didn't get a reward, but it didn't matter!
The buttons for [Sky River Transformation] and [Xuanyuan Slash] appeared in my skill window. I activated them and my body was filled with immense power. A pair of blood-red wings appeared on my back and I activated my domain. Everything around me seemed to be under my control. Every blade of grass swayed and every leaf danced. This was the power of a god, a power that allowed me to see through everything in the world. Even the sneak attack of that Cyan Earth City assassin was within my grasp.
I opened my palm and growled, "Get lost!"
"Bang!"
Domain power exploded, and the assassin rolled out of my range like he had just been hit. Then, I leaped into the air and zigzagged toward Breeze and Rain, God of War, and Breeze and God of War were right next to each other. The distance between us was just right!
God of War shuddered. "Damn it!"
Realizing that he was in trouble, he hurriedly activated his invincibility skill, but it didn't seem like it was going to help him.
"Come, Xuanyuan Slash!"
I suddenly activated my ancient godly skill, Chill of the Nine Prefectures. It danced in the air and pierced forward. Instantly, it shone brightly and Chill of the Nine Prefectures rapidly expanded, forming a golden blade that pierced through the heavens and earth. It was the Xuan-Yuan Sword. It was 40 meters long and 4 or 5 meters wide. It dragged a deep trench in the ground as it slashed forward!
Kacha!
Xuanyuan Slash's light penetrated his invincibility shield, and God of War shuddered. The strongest player of the India server stopped running because he had lost the last bit of his HP.
“1709277！”
Breeze and Rain abruptly turned his head around and tumbled to the ground. Xuanyuan Slash's light barely grazed the tip of his nose, and he would've been sent flying with God of War. Forget an SSS rank scroll, he didn't even have a chance to get an S rank scroll. Naturally, his chances of ascending to the Heavenly River Realm were even slimmer. Unless he was the MVP of a major tournament like the WEL, he wouldn't stand a chance.
"Go, retreat!"
Breeze and Rain shouted, and a wind dragon rose from the ground and fled with about 40 Cyan Earth City players. My timing was perfect, and almost 80 eighth-promotion players were killed by Xuanyuan Slash. It was an SSS Rank Ancient Divine Skill, and it was more than enough to show them some respect.
…
He Yi, Lin Yixin and everyone else stared at the corpses on the ground in shock. A while later, Lin Yixin walked up to me and stared at me in shock. "Little Cheat, is that … Xuanyuan Slash, an SSS Rank ancient divine skill?"
I nodded with a smile. "Yeah, it's been almost 6 hours since the boss dropped this scroll. What do you think? It's amazing, isn't it?"
Lin Yixin nodded. "It is. That idiot God of War was one-shot by Xuanyuan Slash. He probably didn't expect this outcome, did he?"
I laughed. "Yeah, that's a tragedy!"
He Yi walked up to me and asked, "Lu Chen, you've ascended to the Heavenly River Realm, right? You'll be teleported out in 10 minutes, right?"
"Yeah. Fighting Spirits and Chaos Moon will both ascend to the Heavenly River Realm in 7 minutes. You guys know that, right?"
"Yeah!"
"Work hard!"
I thought for a moment before beckoning the girls over. "Eve, Yiyi, come closer. Let's talk."
"Oh?" The girls walked closer to me.
I pulled them into my arms and whispered into their ears, "You'll see Jishui River about half an hour to the south. It's a map that belongs to the China server, and it belongs to the China players. There's also an SSS Rank ancient divine skill and 4 SS Rank ancient divine skills. It's up to you guys to find them. The … SSS Rank ancient divine skill is near (1 7266,67881), and the SS Rank ancient divine skills are near (1 4267,60882), (10282,642 77), (12837,590 28), and (3 9747,70988). There are also a couple of S Rank ancient divine skills …"
I secretly told the girls the coordinates I had calculated using the Luo River Map. Having foresight might be able to help them. After all, it would take a lot of effort to find them on their own.
… …
The girls stared at me with their mouths agape. I smiled and said, "The SSS Rank boss is incredibly difficult, and you guys don't have the Resurrection Art, so I don't recommend trying it. It'll be a waste if we get wiped. Anyway, you two, go get the SS Rank scrolls. Remember, help Sister Mingyue and Lu Buyi get the scrolls first, and then go fight the SS Rank boss. Remember, I was forced to use a scroll to kill God of War just now, so you guys should gather as many China players as you can before you act."
He Yi nodded. "Mn, we will. You've been online for too long, so you should go and rest."
"Alright, you guys have to take care of yourselves. The fans still like to read:!"
"Mn mn!"
… …
A powerful magic whirlpool swirled in the air and dragged me out of the ruins of the Gods. At the same time, I canceled the Milky Way Transformation. The Milky Way Transformation cost 10 Divine Energy Points per minute, which meant that I could only use it for 20 minutes at max Divine Energy Points. It looked like Great Earth Transformation, Divine General Skill, and Ancient Divine Skill would be the mainstream for a very long time to come. The Milky Way Transformation was limited to lightning-fast duels between peak experts, and no one could afford to use it for a long time.
Swhoosh!
I appeared in Dark Moon City at the teleport point I had set.
I opened my friend list and saw that Chaos Moon, High Fighting Spirits, and Li Chengfeng were online. I sent him a message — "Chengfeng, are you grinding?"
"Mn!"
Li Chengfeng turned on the communicator and said, "Haha, I saw the news about you in the ruins of the Gods. Congratulations on getting the SSS Rank Ancient Divine Skill, Xuanyuan Slash. The next time we meet, no one will leave without getting drunk …"
"No problem. You've just reached Level 190, and there's still a long way to go before you reach Level 210. Have you thought about how to level up?
How about I take you to grind the S1-S4 bosses tomorrow? I'll let you kill all the bosses and reach Level 210 in one day. After that, you can enter the Sky Vortex and search for the Ancient Divine Skill! "
"It's fine …"
"Why?"
Li Chengfeng chuckled. "It's a blessing if you get it, but it's your fate if you don't. Not to mention, you're the only person who's managed to get an SSS Rank Ancient Godly Skill so far, so you must've used some special method to do it. I heard that Cyan Earth City and Elephant City sent 30 + players to try and kill the guardian boss of the Ancient Godly Skill, but they all died. So, I'm waiting. Once I reach Level 210, I'll lead two 100-man parties of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls to hunt the SSS Rank Ancient Godly Skill!"
I nodded with a smile. "You're right. I died more than 30 times to kill that boss, and I'm sure anyone else would've died even more. We can't rush this, so I told Eve and Lin Yixin to focus on SS Rank scrolls instead of SSS Rank ones. Fans like SSS Rank scrolls better than SSS Rank scrolls."
Li Chengfeng nodded. "As you say. However, I heard that God of War lost his only chance to ascend to the Heavenly River Realm after you killed him with Xuanyuan Slash, hahaha."
"Holy shit, I didn't know you did …"
"Hahaha, this is awesome! I'm definitely going to drink to my heart's content when I return to the southern headquarters!"
"Mn, no problem. How's Tang Long going?"
"We're almost done collecting evidence and interrogating him. All that's left is a public trial, and that's it. There are almost 20 other VR departments and related departments that have been implicated in this incident, including one director and two vice directors. Hehe, Tang Long has drawn the attention of a couple of greedy people, and you're the fuse. You've done a great deed!"
"An anti-corruption hero, huh …"
"You?
Hehe, an anti-corruption heroine … "
"Dammit, sleep early!"
"Mn, you too. I'm going to go grind for a bit and then go to bed!"
"Okay!"
… …
I checked the time. I had been in the God's Ruins for 14 hours since I entered the game. It was past 11 pm now, and my stomach was growling.
I logged out of the game and went to the living room. There was a note on the table. He Yi had written it beautifully: There's your favorite pickled fish in the fridge. The rice is in the pot. Just microwave the fish for five minutes.
I smiled. Mn, it's been a long time since I've felt this way. It feels good to have He Yi by my side. Fans like to read:
I heated up the food and sat in the living room of the workshop. After eating, I washed up.
Then, I pushed open the door to Beiming Xue's room and called out softly, "Beiming?"
Unfortunately, there was no response from the pitch black room. I suddenly remembered that Beiming Xue had returned to school. Disappointed and disappointed, I turned around and pushed open the door to He Yi's room.
He Yi was lying in a simple but not generous room. She was currently in the middle of a game, her helmet glowing with light. She was lying flat on her back, dressed in casual white clothes. Her long hair cascaded down to the side of her pillow like water, and her breasts were like upside-down bowls. Her perfect curves were absolutely mesmerizing, and she seemed to be killing monsters. Her body trembled slightly.
I walked closer and sat on the edge of the bed. Holding He Yi's hand, I leaned close to the edge of her helmet and said, "Eve, do your best. You must get at least an SS Rank Ancient Divine Skill. Do your best!"
He Yi couldn't speak because she was in the game, but I could feel her hand squeezing mine gently. It was a response.
I couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions when I looked at her. It was only when I sat on the edge of the bed that I truly felt my longing for her. Maybe it was just as Murong Mingyue said. I didn't even know how attached I was to He Yi. My love for Lin Yixin was like fire, but my love for He Yi was like green tea, cool and fragrant.
I lowered my head and kissed He Yi's neck softly. Then, I said with a smile, "Then I'm going to sleep!"
He Yi squeezed my hand again.
I got up. Fuck, I couldn't stop my hand from sliding across He Yi's chest. The amazing elasticity was too tempting, and she wasn't wearing any underwear...
I returned to my room with a flushed face and fell asleep immediately. I hugged my blanket.
I felt like a primary school student who had peeked at a female teacher's collar.
