I looked up and saw a bright moon in the sky. The moonlight in Purgatory was so gentle, but it was so cold that I felt like I was about to turn into ice.
Oh, what was that?
I suddenly squinted my eyes. The moon had hidden behind the clouds. No, it wasn't the clouds, it was … it was an abnormally tall cliff. Yes, it was the cliff. This fortress was built in the middle of a mountain range, and that cliff was at least ten thousand meters tall. It was like a fang that stood high in the sky. It was so tall that it was difficult for us to see it from the ground ….
I reached out and measured the angle. My heart started to race.
… …
"Hey, what are you doing?" Aodan looked at me in surprise.
I lifted the corner of my mouth and smiled.
"Your smile is so evil!" Aodan pointed at me.
I let out a sigh before saying, "Aodan, let's play Divine Soldiers Descend from the Heavens and completely destroy this undead fortress. Then, we'll take advantage of the chaos to charge into the dimensional crack and leave this damned place!"
"Oh, how do we play Divine Army from Heaven?" Aodan asked.
I reached out to grab her hand and said, "Just come with me!"
"Pa!"
There was a divine power fluctuation in the forest. I brought Ao Dan with me as we charged into the sky. Success or failure depended on this moment.
We flew higher and higher. Gradually, it was too cold and a thick layer of frost formed on my armor. Aodan's long eyelashes froze. She blinked and looked at me. She asked, "How high are we going to fly? They definitely can't sense our divine power from here. It's so high..."
I pointed at the sky. "Look over there!"
"Ah?!"
Aodan looked up and saw a cliff that looked like a beast's fang. Although it looked small, when we got closer, we discovered that it was shockingly huge.
"Pa!"
I lightly landed on the top of the frozen cliff and knelt down on one knee. I raised my hand and pulled out the Xuanyuan Sword. I slashed at the ground. "Keng!" Sparks flew everywhere as the Xuanyuan Sword slashed out a ten centimeter deep mark. What a solid ground. Yup, the ores here were definitely the same as the God Metal from the heavens. Unfortunately, I didn't learn the Mining Skill. Otherwise, I would have been able to make a fortune here.
Ao Dan shivered in the wind and looked at me. "What do you want?
Do we come here, jump down, and rush into the fortress to our deaths?
This doesn't seem like a divine soldier descending from the heavens, right? "
I couldn't help but laugh. "No, what's the point of just the two of us jumping down? We're going to take everyone down with us!"
"What?
With a big guy … "Ao Dan's mouth fell open.
I nodded and pointed at the fang-like cliff and said, "We'll cut off the top of the cliff and use our strength to move the big guy 500 meters forward. This way … we'll be able to land in the fort and crush those bastards in there!"
Ao Dan immediately became happy. He stomped his feet and said with a smile, "Good, good, but … this cliff is so thick. Even if we have divine power, we can't cut it. These stones are all dead caltrops, a special ore of the Purgatory. They are very hard, and even divine weapons can't pierce through them, let alone us …"
I raised the Xuan Yuan Sword in my hand and said, "We still have to try. If we don't destroy this fort, we won't be able to enter the teleportation portal."
"Hmm, let's give it a try!"
… …
My Cloud Riding Boots stepped on the ground and I suddenly left the spot. I floated in the air and circled around the fangs seven or eight times. Finally, I found a good place to attack. It was about a thousand meters below the top of the cliff. The rock here was only about a hundred meters in radius and was pretty much the shape of a goose's neck. Moreover, when I reached out to touch the rock, I could see that there were obvious cracks. There were even some Frost Moss and Snow Silver Flowers growing in the cracks. After the plants drilled through, the rock became even more fragile. In reality, if I pushed a little harder, it would completely break. Lin Na was too careless to build the fort in such a place!
"Shua!"
My battle robe fluttered in the wind as I retreated a dozen steps. I said solemnly, "Ao Dan, go to the top of the cliff and push it to the north. I'll do some work here and try to completely break this cliff!"
Ao Dan nodded. "Yes, I'm going!"
A figure flew straight up. I couldn't help but rejoice. Saving Ao Dan here was a wise decision. If it wasn't for Ao Dan's help, I definitely wouldn't have been able to complete this big deal alone.
I shouted and my divine power surged. I activated Milky Way Transformation. A pair of bloody wings pierced through the Fierce God Cloak and appeared behind me. I was going to break this fangs in my strongest state!
Burning Blade Slash!
"Peng peng peng …"
Three flaming sword lights collided with the cracks. The entire fangs couldn't help but tremble a little. However, they still weren't enough to break it.
Three sword marks were left on the huge rock. Those were the marks of my [Burning Blade Slash]. Even though the dead fangs were solid, the weapon I used was the Xuanyuan Sword, the existence known as the number one divine weapon. With this degree of sharpness, any kind of solid defense would be useless!
I gathered my energy and tilted my sword to the right. A golden sword light shot out with a "Shua", forming a sword energy that was hundreds of meters long. It was the SSS Rank ancient skill [Xuanyuan Slash]!
"Whether or not I can break it depends on you. [Xuanyuan Slash]!"
I chanted in my heart and suddenly flipped my wrist. [Xuanyuan Slash] was already flying out!
I couldn't let this stalemate drag on for too long. Otherwise, the executioners on the ground would definitely make a move. Then my plan would be ruined.
"Peng!"
After a piercing sound, it almost split the fault in half. The deep sword mark was so deep that the bottom could not be seen. And in the air, Ao Dan suddenly collided with it with his divine power. Energy ripples surged, and the fang stone finally creaked and turned. In the next moment, the huge stone suddenly broke and directly fell to the ground!
"Now! Ao Dan, move the stone 500 meters forward!" I shouted.
Ao Dan's delicate body crashed into the stone. However, the stone was just too big. Her body felt like a mayfly trying to shake a tree. She couldn't do much. It looked like Ao Dan wouldn't be able to do it. She was an archer after all. This kind of physical work could only be done by close-range warriors like me!
Clang!
I sheathed my sword and flew straight down. After I caught up to the boulder, I threw a heavy punch towards the north. Under the Heavenly River Transformation, my strength was immense, but the boulder only trembled and moved a few dozen meters. This wasn't something I wanted to see. I was still far from being able to do it!
… …
He suddenly took a few steps back and fell down along with the boulder. At the same time, he gathered his Qi and an image of a flaming purple dragon appeared on his fist. He activated the purple dragon howl with his bare hands and used his strongest killing move to shake the boulder. 500 meters, come out!
"Boom, boom!"
The giant dragon rammed into the boulder indiscriminately, and the boulder was finally pushed away. I quickly retracted the energy of the Purple Dragon Howl, and just as I had calculated, I was 500 meters away from the boulder!
I got closer and closer to the ground. In the blink of an eye, I was less than three hundred meters away from the ground. I suddenly stopped falling and grabbed Ao Dan, who was also falling, with one hand. "Alright, we don't need to go down together!"
I looked into the distance, and I could even see the shocked gazes of the undead creatures on the ground. The executioners raised their swords and looked up at the sky. "What … what is that thing? What's falling?"
A group of Corpse Eaters screamed in pain. They seemed to have sensed the impending danger!
… …
The next moment, the scene I had been waiting for happened!
Boom boom boom!
The huge rock crashed into the ground. Its speed and weight were no different from that of a meteor, and a huge shockwave swept across the land. Countless executioners and Corpse Eaters screamed in pain inside the fortress, and the assembly point they had built with so much effort was reduced to dust in no time. Moreover, the fangs started to burn and explode after they hit the ground. It was as if there was gunpowder buried inside!
"What's going on? Why are they exploding?" I widened my eyes.
Ao Dan nodded. "The core of the dead prism is filled with energy. It's only natural that it would explode under such a powerful impact …"
I was stunned. At the same time, my level skyrocketed while the executioners screamed in pain. It turned out that all the experience was on me, and the speed at which it rose was shocking.
Level 260!
Level 261!
Level 262!
… …
Level 267!
In the blink of an eye, I had reached Level 269. This leveling speed was insane!
I was stunned when I saw my level. I had gone from Level 259 to Level 269 in the blink of an eye. The game developers said that it would take one to two years to reach that level, but I had done it in an instant?!
Speechless, I brought up the Level Ranking of Sky City and refreshed it. I was way ahead of everyone else.

… …
Everyone's leveling speed had skyrocketed during the event, and after a couple of days of grinding and raiding cities and grinding in the wilderness, the top players' levels were pretty close to each other. I was the only exception, and the gap between my level and everyone else's was too big!
A private message from Stranger of Three Lifetimes appeared on the forums: "Fuck, what the hell were you doing? You leveled up to 269 all of a sudden? Are you trying to shock the world?"
Speechless, I replied, "I was in the middle of a life-and-death battle. Keep grinding, Momo. I'm going back to work …"
… …
But Aodan suddenly grabbed my battle robes and said, "Hurry up, the Purgatory Tear is opening now …"
"Where's the guardian?" I asked.
"I don't know. Maybe it's inside the fortress …"
As expected, a wild roar resounded from inside the fortress, and a ferocious beast burst into the sky under the moonlight. Aodan and I jumped straight into the abyss behind the fortress. Very good, we didn't need to kill a boss on this floor. From afar, it looked like a Divine Rank boss, not a Quasi God. It would be best if we didn't kill it, because I didn't want to die here...
Swhoosh!
Plane energy surged in front of us, and my body was suddenly pulled to the sixth floor, the Land of Redemption!
PS: I recommend an online novel called "Peasant Workers Play Online Games". It's very well written, and the author is very good at writing.
