Swhoosh!
I appeared at the temporary supply point of the Ancient Chaos Secret Land.
I looked around and saw that there were still a lot of players turning in their quests. I looked down and saw that my Cold Nine States was full of holes and had 11% durability left. My Dragon Suppressing Armor and Azure Dragon Shield had less than 40% durability, so I needed to repair them. If I didn't, I wouldn't be able to play anymore.
I spent a lot of gold to repair my equipment and replenish my potions. The dozens of stacks of Rank 13 Dragonheart Orchid potions that Lin Yixin had given me were sitting in the corner of my bag. These potions were too precious, and I couldn't bear to use them unless it was a life-threatening PvP or a boss.
… …
Ten or so minutes later, Beiming Xue came online as well. We flew to the rendezvous point and checked the details of the map. We had killed all 10 Monarch rank bosses in the ancient Chaos Secret Land, but only Endless Quiver and Flying Dragon Gauntlets had dropped. The rest of the bosses were Cambrian Divine Armaments at best. Everyone's luck could only be considered average.
Thud!
We landed lightly on the grass of the wasteland and wore the Divine Dragon Armor. Chaos Moon and Heaven's Rain watched us from a distance. "Finally, the corps commander is willing to come online …"
Chaos Moon shot me a dissatisfied look. "You're 10 minutes late. What do you want to say?"
I smiled awkwardly. "Something happened in real life, please forgive me!"
I looked into the distance. "Have you killed all the transport vehicles in this map?"
Heaven's Rain: "Yeah, we finished two hours ago. The next step is to pass through the Ancient Chaos Secret Land and head toward a certain ruin in the west of the secret land. However, there's a fortress guarded by the Purgatory Legion along the way, and we'll have to conquer it before we can pass through. This is also a large-scale quest, and it will officially start in 30 minutes!"
"Oh?
Let's hurry then … "
"Mn!"
… …
Once everyone was ready, we continued onward. I led 15k players, and Chaos Moon led a 10k player party with me.
We passed through the forest that was filled with a ghastly aura. The air ahead of us was covered in a bloody luster. Two godlike mountain ranges blocked our path. At the center of the two mountain ranges was a narrow pass that stretched for almost 5000 meters. A castle shrouded in a bloody mist was built on top of the pass. Above and below the castle were densely packed undead monsters. Their levels weren't low, so it was time to kill them!
I waved my hand and the ranking appeared in front of me. Yep, another huge change.
1. Breeze and Rain (India) Points: 730090
2. Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand (China) Points: 720930
3. Tear Stain (Korea) Points: 647280
4. Wind Fantasy (China), Credit: 621170
5. Vienna's Sorrow (USA) Credit: 572820
6. Candlelight Shadow (China) Points: 552200
7. God of War (India) Points: 542730
8 、 Luo River God of the Capital (China) Points: 540900
9 、 Lian Xin (China) Points: 498760
10 、 Legendary Brave (China) Points: 482170
… …
I was offline for almost 10 hours, but I still managed to stay in second place. I must've surpassed Breeze and Rain by quite a bit before I logged off. Yeah, that's a boost to morale. Let's keep fighting and return to first place in the Chaos Crusade leaderboard within an hour. We'll keep the MVP in China and one of the Twelve Divine Weapons or Seventy-Two Ghastly Weapons in China to strengthen ourselves!
At the end of the war, it was a battle of the number of Ancient Divine Skills, Divine Weapons, Seventy-Two Ghastly Weapons, and Ancient Divine Weapons!
If the China server had 5 to 9 Divine Weapons and 20 to 50 Ghastly Weapons, then the other players would have to think twice before attacking the Central. If we had absolute power, then there would be no need for us to fight anymore. All we needed to do was show our strength and make the surrounding servers submit to us. Conquering the enemy without a fight was the way to go!
Rustle rustle...
I stepped on the withered grass and saw a light blue curtain rising into the sky a dozen or so meters in front of me. No player could cross it, and on the other side was the drool-inducing fortress.
Ding ~!
System Notice: The Godslayer Fortress will officially open to all players in 17 minutes. All players, please be aware that you must conquer the Godslayer Fortress within 10 hours, or you will fail this patch quest. Also, there is a terrifying devil sleeping beneath the Godslayer Fortress. If the fortress is conquered, the devil will awaken and bring disaster to the land. All players, please be careful!
… …
It wasn't long before the sky was packed with players. Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls players weren't the only ones who had come. Many other guilds in the China server had arrived as well. However, China players only occupied about 30% of the 5000-meter long fortress. The rest were filled with players from the Northern Alliance, India, Japan, Chaotic 27, and more. This was a server-wide quest, and anyone who was above Level 200 was here. Those who were below Level 200 were basically not here to die.
In the air, our beautiful guild leader, He Yi, stood on the back of the Snow Crystal Dragon and ordered, "Lu Chen, Li Chengfeng, Gui Guzi, Xu Yang, I want all of you to organize your forces and attack the fortress together. Try not to get into conflict with the other guilds and become the first force to conquer the Godslayer Fortress!"
"Mn!"
The legion commanders on the ground nodded in agreement and swiftly retracted the area our players were in. It wasn't long before we were all in one spot and occupied a small area on the eastern side of the fortress. The Dragonlight Cavalry, Gui Guzi, Li Chengfeng, Chaos Moon and the rest of the Dragonlight Cavalrymen stood shoulder to shoulder at the frontline. Li Chengfeng patted the Cyan Crystal Dragon's head and said, "When the Cyan Crystal Dragon reaches Level 200, it can transform into armor just like the Ancient Divine Dragon. It won't be so clumsy anymore … Oh right, Lu Chen, what level is the Ancient Divine Dragon? Why is it so hard to level up?"
I shot him a glance. "Level 197. I heard that it can enter the Enlightened Realm at Level 200, but I don't know what the exact changes are. Let's wait and see. I'm guessing that it'll reach Level 200 by the time this Chaotic Expedition is over. This leveling speed is ridiculous."
Gui Guzi smiled. "Let's stop chatting. There's only one minute left before the Sky Curtain opens. Killing as many mobs as possible and accumulating as many points as possible is the right way to go. Look, the India server players are on our right, and the Cyan Beast guild of Cyan Earth City is approaching us. Are they testing us?"
Li Chengfeng's eyes turned cold. "Heh, Cyan Beast claims to have 100k Golden Cavalrymen, so I'm guessing that they're trying to test the might of the Golden Cavalry. I'm guessing that God of War is planning to use us as an example as well, isn't it?"
I said solemnly, "Little Xin, Beiming, order our Holy Mages and Dragonlight Archers to be on standby at all times. The moment Cyan Beast attacks us, we'll give them a taste of fire and ice!"
The girls giggled behind me. "Got it, big bro!"
… …
Swhoosh!
The Sky Curtain disappeared in the blink of an eye, and we didn't even need to launch an attack. The mobs below the stronghold were already roaring and charging the players. They had long heads, sinister-looking mouths, giant tongues, scales, and an iron-whip-like tail. This was the first time we had seen such undead mobs, and they were all of the same type. Thanks to Dark Pupils, I shared their stats in the guild channel.
[Spirit Devouring Demon] (Demon Level Monster)
Level: 300
Attack: 49000 ~ 57500
Defense: 70000
HP: 4400000
Skills: [Dark Thrust], [Strength of Arms], [Spirit Devouring Steal Life]
Introduction: A demonized undead warrior, the Spirit Devouring Demon is the masterpiece of a high-level undead magus. After being tempered by magic and death, the body of a normal human has undergone a mutation. They now possess incredibly tough scales, incredibly fast reflexes, powerful arms, the strength to break mountains, and the ability to steal HP from their targets. The Spirit Devouring Demons have always been kept in the depths of hell, and the moment they appear in the human world, it means that a true calamity has befallen us.
… …
"Fuck, these Level 300 mobs have about the same stats as a boss!" Gui Guzi complained.
Chaos Moon raised her sword. "How are we going to fight them?
Are we going to fight them head-on? "
I said solemnly, "Everyone, calm down and stay where you are. Bards, give the Dragonlight Cavalry full buffs. Priests, focus on healing. All frontline players, defend and counterattack. Don't underestimate these Spirit Devouring Demons. There are too many of them, and if you underestimate them, you'll be overwhelmed by them!"
Everyone nodded in unison.
The Spirit Devouring Demons were running on all fours on the ground like wild beasts. Their sinister mouths were wide open, and their blood-red eyes were filled with violence. Their arms were incredibly powerful, and bone blades were growing out of their arms. These were the Spirit Devouring Demons' attack style.
On the frontlines, many guild leaders issued orders to attack. Cavalry and infantry charged forward to meet the Spirit Devourer Demons head-on.
"It's over, these idiots!"
I gritted my teeth. "They didn't realize that these Spirit Devouring Demons' stats are at least 20% higher than the mobs in the Ancient Chaos Secret Land. They're on a completely different level!"
Du Thirteen raised his sword. "We brought this upon ourselves!" Li Chengfeng nodded.
"Frontline brothers and sisters, hold the line!"
Roughly 500 meters away from the castle, the Guilds that had charged out had already clashed with the Spirit Devourer Demon. However, the Spirit Devourer Demon's screams echoed throughout the battlefield. As soon as the Spirit Devourer Demon approached its target, it leaped into the air and spun its arms like a drill, transforming them into a pitch-black cone. This was none other than Dark Stab. When the Spirit Devourer Demon attacked, it dealt over -300,000 damage to Mounted players. What was even more frightening was the Spirit Devourer Lifesteal, which converted 30% of the damage it stole into HP.
Puchi!
The Spirit Devouring Demon abruptly leaped into the air and bit down on the neck of a magic knight, dealing over 370k damage. The Spirit Devouring Demon's sharp claws almost tore the magic knight's organs to shreds. The magic knight didn't even have time to let out a scream before he fell off his horse and died. One after another, the entire group of players fell to the ground like a field swept by a swarm of locusts. Not a single one of them was left alive. Even after killing tens of thousands of players, the Spirit Devouring Demon continued to charge forward. It looked like it wouldn't rest until all of these players were dead.
The Spirit Devouring Demons were getting closer and closer to us like a tidal wave.
I abruptly raised my sword and shouted, "Dream of Dependence, Dao Seeking with the Sword!
Frontline brothers, Holy Shield Defense! "
