"What's going on?"
"Don't tell me I'm trapped in a spatial crack?"
After Shifeng entered the silver spatial passage, he discovered that even after a long time had passed, the space around him remained dark. Due to the Divine Might within the passage, he could not move at all.
Normally, even if he used Space Teleportation, it would take him two or three seconds to reach his destination.
Yet, based on the time displayed by the system, three minutes had already passed. That was more than enough time to circle God's Domain a dozen times.
"That's …"
After another five minutes, Shifeng suddenly noticed a flash of light at the end of the passage. Through the light, he could faintly make out mountains, rivers, and beasts in the sky.
After a short moment, Shifeng stood atop a mountain.
System: You have discovered the Dark Canyon. During this time, you cannot use the system's communication functions or Return Scrolls.
System: Asura Mode Promotion Quest activated. Quest content: Collect the Seven Luminaries Source Stone and seal the Demon King Storas. Rewards unknown.
"Seal the Demon King?" Shifeng's mouth twitched when he heard the system's emotionless words.
Although he had known that the quest would be difficult, he had not expected it to be this difficult …
A Demon King was the equivalent of a Tier 5 Legendary monster. It could easily slaughter an entire city. It was not an existence that current players could contend with.
If the Asura Mode Promotion Quest was already so difficult, it was no wonder why Xia Lian had said that the God Mode Promotion Quest was suicidal. If he had chosen the God Mode Promotion Quest, he would've most likely died instantly. However, even now, he was no match for the Demon King.
He was only a Tier 1 Swordsman. Against a Tier 5 Demon King, even 1,000 of him would be child's play.
This was the case in God's Domain. The higher the tier, the greater the gap between players. Hence, the various large Guilds would do everything they could to nurture experts.
The further one progressed, the more important quality would be. Quantity would become secondary.
This was especially true when a Guild had a Tier 5 player. The benefits of having a Tier 5 player was far greater than having 100,000 Tier 2 players. Not only could a Tier 5 player defend a city, but they could also form teams to raid Tier 5 Mythic monsters.
Normally, to raid a Tier 5 monster, a Guild needed at least a 100-man team of Tier 3 players. Moreover, they needed to understand the monster's weaknesses and use tools or items to counter them. Otherwise, they would only suffer a team-wipe.
Now that he had to deal with a Tier 5 Demon King, he had no chance of winning.
Fortunately, the quest description mentioned collecting Seven Luminaries Source Stones. Shifeng could not help but breathe out a sigh of relief when he read the quest description again.
He knew a little about the Seven Luminaries Source Stone.
Origin Stones were far more precious than Seven Luminaries Crystals, and the energy stored within them was far purer. However, Origin Stones only contained energy of one element, unlike Seven Luminaries Crystals, which contained energy of every element. In terms of usage, Seven Luminaries Crystals had a wider variety of uses, while Seven Luminaries Source Stones had very limited uses. They could only be used under certain circumstances, such as special sealing magic arrays.
"Since the quest has been confirmed, all I need to do now is search for the Seven Luminaries Source Stone."
Shifeng looked down at the canyon below him. It was completely dark, but he could faintly hear roars and sounds of battle coming from the canyon. In the center of the canyon, there was a tall tower. This tower towered into the sky, and it was several times taller than the mountain below him.
A large number of flying monsters were circling around the tower.
[Nine-headed Vulture] (Demonic Beast, High Lord) Level 60 HP 30,000,000/30,000,000
A large number of Nine-headed Vultures hovered in the air, making it impossible to fly to the tower.
"Flying is out of the question. I'll just have to go down and take a look." Shifeng immediately activated Wind Rider and jumped down from the mountain peak.
The mountain path was very rugged, and many powerful Demonic Beasts lay in ambush. Shifeng inwardly breathed out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had not traveled down the mountain path. Otherwise, these Demonic Beasts would've ambushed him and killed him.
After Shifeng disappeared into the darkness of the canyon, he was greeted by a dark, silent scene.
It was different from what he had seen from the outside.
In the darkness, there was a courtyard, and the tower stood in the center of the courtyard. All kinds of high-level magical beasts could be seen walking around the courtyard, and some of them were even fighting over territory.
"Huh?"
As soon as Shifeng entered the massive, dark courtyard, he felt his entire body grow heavy. Wind Rider also disappeared. As he got closer to the ground, the gravitational force grew stronger.
Fortunately, Shifeng possessed the Ring of Gravity. He activated Gravity Liberation, dispelling the gravitational force and reducing his falling speed. Just like that, he landed safely on the stone floor without attracting the attention of the surrounding monsters.
System: You have discovered the Moonlight Courtyard.
"Moonlight Courtyard?" Shifeng could not help his surprise when he heard the system notification. "So, the rumored Moonlight Courtyard is here."
The Moonlight Courtyard was rumored to have been built by the Moon God. The Moon God loved to plant flowers. Similarly, the Moon God also researched alchemy and magic arrays. For example, the Moon Drip, which could remove all curses in the world, was a product of the Moon God's research.
Meanwhile, the Moonlight Courtyard was where the Moon God normally conducted his research.
"Sure enough, Xia Lian didn't lie to me. I can finally find Shenjing." Shifeng's eyes flashed with excitement as he read the system notification.
As the Moon God's research site, there should be plenty of items that the Moon God had once used. These items did not need to be particularly powerful. As long as they were items commonly used by the Moon God, they would be fine. In any case, he was only using these items to recover the Soul Orb. If they were truly treasures, he would not be willing to let the Soul Orb absorb them.
Following which, Shifeng quietly entered the courtyard.
There were plenty of monsters in the courtyard. The lowest-leveled monsters were Level 60 or above, and they were all Chieftain rank or above. To avoid attracting trouble, Shifeng activated Omniscient Eyes to resolve his vision problem while drinking an Invisibility Potion to avoid these monsters.
Currently, Shifeng would have no problems fighting Level 60 or above Lords in a one-on-one battle.
However, if he fought, the commotion would definitely attract the surrounding monsters' attention. After all, these were Demonic Beasts. In such a dark environment, these Demonic Beasts were much more sensitive than Shifeng. They would quickly gather in a group. At that time, only death awaited them.
After all, whether they turned and fled or fought, the outcome would be the same.
If they turned and fled, they would attract even more monsters. If they fought, they would not be able to defeat these monsters. As for Skills like Instantaneous Movement Scrolls and Space Movement, Shifeng had already tried using them. In addition, this place prohibited flying. If they got surrounded, death would be the only outcome. Hence, they needed to be careful.
After traveling for over two hours, Shifeng finally passed through the courtyard's outermost area and arrived in the area between the outer area and the inner area.
"This inner area sure is luxurious!" Shifeng stared at the inner area in the distance with longing eyes.
There was a herb garden in the inner area. Although the Divine Court had existed for a very long time, the herb garden was reinforced by magic arrays and divine runes. Hence, the herbs inside were completely unharmed.
The only unfortunate thing was that these herbs had become food for the Demonic Beasts here. Many of them had been eaten by the Demonic Beasts. Shi Feng even had the thought of cooking these Demonic Beasts.
It wouldn't have been a big deal if these were only ordinary herbs. Most importantly, these herbs were rare and super-rare. For example, the Flower of Life had an effect similar to the Water of Life. It could heal all injuries of NPCs. There was also the Exotic Grass, which could remove most curses. There was also the Rainbow Fruit, which was a top-tier material used to make wine …
Even in kingdoms and empires that were rich in herbs, these herbs were extremely difficult to obtain. As for planting them, they did not have any seeds.
Meanwhile, these incomparably precious herbs had actually become food for the Demonic Beasts. It was no wonder why these Demonic Beasts were so fat.
"Huh? A Moonlight Fruit!" Shifeng suddenly noticed a translucent fruit growing on a silvery-white tree that was over 30 meters tall. He could not help his shock.
Ordinary players and even expert players might not know anything about the Moonlight Fruit. However, during a superpower's auction in the past, everyone in God's Domain had remembered this fruit's name.
