Whoosh!
Cold wind blew as I appeared on the sixth floor. The temperature dropped so much that I sneezed. At the same time, I rejoiced that the boss of the fifth floor hadn't chased me out. Otherwise, that monster wouldn't be easy to deal with, and I would be in for a lot of pain.
In the air, my Fierce God Cloak fluttered. I looked at the ground and found that the map of the sixth floor was also covered in snow. It was just that the sky wasn't snowing, but it was even colder. A layer of frost appeared on my armor, causing me to shiver. My eyelashes and eyebrows were quickly covered in frost. They all said that the Saint Helmet Ruins were cold, but compared to this place, it was nothing. If not for my extraordinary physique, I might have frozen to death!
On the ground, there was a blood pool about a thousand meters apart. Each blood pool was guarded by ten to fifteen guards. There were bubbles in the blood pools, but I didn't know what they were.
… …
Seeming to see my confusion, Ao Dan smiled and said, "That is the Well of Redemption... something unique to the sixth floor of Purgatory!"
"Well of Redemption?" I was even more shocked.
Aodan nodded his head and explained, "Yes. After going through the first five floors of the Purgatory, the powerhouses who are still able to reach the sixth floor are all people who are willing to submit to the Purgatory Ruler. Those who have the ability to reach the sixth floor are all peak powerhouses. In order to turn these powerhouses into his puppets, Lin Na built these Wells of Redemption. Those who have been baptized in the Wells of Redemption will lose their past memories and obsessions, becoming Lin Na's dogs. Coldblade, Leiming, Blood Finger, Blood Skull, and Opello were all baptized in the Wells of Redemption."
"Then, what about Xinran?"
"Wind Singer Xinran and Sophie are exceptions. They refused this baptism, and Lin Na did not force them. He allowed them to maintain their complete Divine Spark. That way, they will be stronger."
I understood. "I see. Otherwise, Xinran wouldn't recognize me..."
Ao Dan smiled and said, "Let's go. The core of the sixth layer is the tunnel that leads to the immortal-level on the seventh layer. However, there's a god-level powerhouse guarding there. We'll have to see if we're lucky enough to get there. There's a Divine Power sealing barrier in the air, so we can't fly too far. Moreover, we can't hide our Divine Power.
"Yes."
The two of us landed on the ground and moved through the snow-covered forest, avoiding the Well of Redemption as much as possible. The monster guarding the Well of Redemption was a Level 230 God-tier monster. It wasn't hard to deal with, but it was a waste of time. I didn't plan to waste too much time here. It was almost 5 pm, so I had to go offline at around 8 pm to rest and replenish my energy. Otherwise, my body might collapse.
We didn't go far before a blood-red patch appeared on the map. It was heading straight for us!
"Be careful, someone is coming!"
I quickly grabbed Aodan's hand and we dove deep into the forest, burying ourselves in the snow. The moment we hid ourselves, a troop of about a hundred undead cavalrymen flew past us.
"Hunter!
There are also Hunters here … "I clenched my teeth. There were more than a hundred Hunters, and the leader was an Executioner of 10. If we fought them head-on, we might die. The Hunters weren't scary, but the Executioners were. They ignored 30% of my defense. It was too painful to fight, and we couldn't gain any advantage!
…
In the distance, another Hunter troop arrived and met up with the one in front of us.
"Sir, there's no one there either!" a Hunter shouted.
The Executioner held a long blade and smiled viciously. "Hmph, they can't run far. Those two despicable fellows actually caused such a huge ruckus in the Land of Destruction. Our fortress army in the Land of Destruction suffered a devastating blow. Lord Lin Na is furious and said that those two traitors must be killed in the Land of Redemption. Continue to search the northeast. We've sent a thousand Hunter troops to hunt them down. I don't believe they can escape!"
"Yes, sir, we definitely won't let them escape from the Land of Redemption!"
"That's good. Go!"
"Yes!"
… …
In the snow, I shivered and said, "We seem to have made a huge mess …"
Ao Dan squinted her beautiful eyes and smiled, "You dared to do it, but don't you dare to face the consequences?"
I gripped the hilt of the Xuanyuan Sword and smiled, "Why wouldn't I dare? However, the Hunter team in front of us has ten Executioners as their leader, so it won't be easy to kill them. We'll be insta-killed. This is a little troublesome, so we shouldn't take the risk. We can choose the weaker ones …"
"En, I think so too!"
"Let's go!"
I walked along the forest. The Fierce God Cloak behind me was blood red and it was indeed quite eye-catching. However, I had no choice. I didn't want to use the Disguise Master Ring. Both Carefree Chant and Spirit Language Ring added important stats, so I couldn't bear to give them up. Moreover, even if my disguise succeeded, Ao Dan wouldn't be able to disguise herself, so she couldn't hide her identity. I couldn't give up on Ao Dan. In the upcoming battle, I really needed her.
Not long after, another team appeared in front of us. This time, it was a bit weaker. It was a team of 57 Hunters and 3 Executioners. The Hunters' attacks couldn't deal any fatal damage to me, and the Executioners were a bit more troublesome. However, if I could kill 3 Executioners, it wouldn't be a problem.
"Keng!"
I raised my hand and pulled out the Xuanyuan Sword.
Ao Dan blinked, "Ready to attack?"
I nodded, "En, I'll restrict these Hunters. Then, I'll prioritize killing one of the Executioners. When that time comes, you can single target the Executioner that I'm attacking. We'll take them down one by one. After killing three Executioners, we'll enter the safe stage. Those Hunters' attack power isn't much of a threat to me."
"En, okay!"
… …
I raised the Xuanyuan Sword and dashed forward. From afar, I activated God Binding Art and bound an Executioner to the ground. This way, I only needed to face two of them. My sword danced wildly as I used Coiling Dragon Revolution. It suddenly pierced through the chest of the first Executioner and angered him even more. The moment I came into contact with him, I casually stepped on the Cloud Soaring Boots and activated Profound Armor, increasing my Defense by 300%. I was like an iron plate as I withstood the Hunters' Peerless Strike and the Executioner's attacks. Mn, 300% Defense was indeed safe!
Behind me, Ao Dan pulled back his bowstring and hit the Executioner. Almost every hit dealt nearly 3 million damage. This God Tier Boss's damage to his minions was too high. A full health Quasi-Boss Executioner was killed in less than half a minute.
After killing the first Executioner, the pressure on me was greatly reduced. In another minute, I killed the other two. The rest was much easier!
Rustle rustle rustle...
My Cloud Soaring Boots didn't touch the ground, but the whirlpools formed on the snowy ground. I flew close to the ground and used my advantage in speed to lead a group of Hunters behind me. At the same time, I used Ancient Seal, Ten Thousand Sword Absolute Step, and other AoE skills. In less than ten minutes, a total of 60 Quasi-Bosses fell to the ground and dropped a bunch of equipment and gems.
I cleaned up the battlefield. My luck wasn't bad. I obtained 2 Hundred Grade God Crystals and a dozen or so low-quality equipment. Then, I sighed. When I was on the fifth floor, I used a giant rock to destroy the fortress. Those Quasi-Boss Executioners were all crushed to death. Although I got experience, I didn't get that sea of monster experience. What a pity.
At the same time, I glanced at my experience bar. Damn, just how high is the requirement to reach Level 269? I killed 60 Ancient Immortal Rank Quasi-Bosses, but my experience bar was still stuck at 7%. Motherf * cker, so many Quasi-Bosses and I didn't even get 1% experience. What a scam!
When would I reach Level 275? The chance to kill tens of thousands of monsters in one shot wasn't something that came by every day...
… …
That being said, I was still a bit pleased. My current level was enough for me to look down on the entire world. Once I found Xinran and went out, I wouldn't have to work so hard while everyone else was busy leveling up. All I had to do was wait for the MVP of all sorts of large-scale events to level up. Wouldn't it be exhausting to reach Level 275 by killing mobs? I wasn't a mage, and I couldn't cast a whole bunch of killing spells with a wave of my hand.
In two hours, I swept through 14 parties and obtained 47 Stalker Cards. This was my biggest reward. 170% Attack and 200% max HP. This was definitely a God-tier card. I could sell them for at least 5000 RMB each. Who would be willing to use them outside of killing bosses and large-scale PvP battles? If it wasn't for the fact that it was too easy to get killed by bosses here, I wouldn't be willing to use them either.
After putting away the cards and spoils of war, I continued to advance with Aodan.
It wasn't long before the map in front of us became even more blood-colored. In the middle of a barren bone field, a giant blood-colored whirlpool appeared. Energy gushed out of the barrier, and my heart almost jumped out of my throat. The entrance to the seventh floor. Yes, the entrance to the final destination of the seventh floor of Purgatory was on the other side of the barrier. My little Xinran was there!
In an instant, I trembled all over.
"Be careful, someone's guarding the entrance …" Aodan suddenly warned me softly.
"No, I don't think so. I can't see anything on my map …"
"A true god can hide their own aura …"
"Whatever, I'm going!"
I left my original spot with a thud and charged straight toward the barrier. Xinran, big bro is here!
… …
Before I arrived, I suddenly felt an invisible aura envelop me. Based on my senses and experience after becoming a god, I could tell that this was the domain power of a god. It was something that couldn't be felt by a Monarch boss!
Clang!
I quickly unsheathed the Xuan-Yuan Sword and entered Heavenly River Transformation. I unleashed my domain power to resist the enemy.
"Brat, do you want to break through my defensive zone by force?"
A cold voice descended from the sky. Shortly after, the sound of a blade being drawn rang out. Then, a formless energy swept over and the blade slashed across my back. With a "peng", my entire body was shaken off my original trajectory!
“1418723！”
What a powerful Attack. I kicked the air, but it felt like I was hitting a steel wall. My ankle hurt like hell, and I was sent flying dozens of meters back. I finally managed to stabilize myself in the air.
PS: I recommend an online novel called "Peasant Workers Play Online Games". It's very well written, and the author's writing is very strong.
There was a mistake in the previous chapter. Players cannot surpass Level 255 before becoming gods, so everyone except Lu Chen has reached Level 255. Please forgive me ~
