Inside a Guild town surrounded by mountainous walls, players bustled about the streets. Many of these players were architects, and they were frantically constructing various buildings.
Meanwhile, a middle-aged man in dark-gray armor and carrying a flame-shaped shield quietly watched these players from an open-air restaurant on the town's top floor.
At this moment, a young man suddenly ran over to the middle-aged man, an excited expression on his face.
"Uncle Yuan, something big has happened," the young man said excitedly. "We've just received news that Skyhawk, the commander of the Flower of Seven Sins, has been killed." The young man said excitedly as he looked at the seated middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man was none other than the Secret Pavilion's Yuan Tiexin. Yuan Tiexin had already reached Level 50, and the equipment he wore was the Landslide Set, a Level 50 Fine-Gold Set Equipment for Shield Warriors that only dropped from Level 50, 100-man Team Dungeons.
"Skyhawk has been killed?" Yuan Tiexin could not help his surprise as he turned to look at the young man. "How is that possible? Did someone organize a team of experts to ambush him? That shouldn't be the case, right?
That's one of the Flower of Seven Sins' commanders we're talking about. The organization definitely won't take this lying down. "
Skyhawk was one of only seven commanders in the Flower of Seven Sins. Even among the organization's members, he was one of the top experts in terms of combat power.
Yuan Tiexin found it truly hard to believe that such an expert could be killed. The only possibility was that someone had organized a large group of experts and used various powerful tools to prevent Skyhawk from escaping.
"N-no … I heard that Skyhawk and his two companions tried to ambush a player, but that player killed them instead," the young man stuttered as he explained, shaking his head.
"Skyhawk led a group of people to ambush a player, yet that player killed them instead? How is that possible?" Yuan Tiexin was even more shocked when he heard this.
Not only had Skyhawk and his three companions been killed, but they had also been killed by a player.
No matter how he looked at it, this sounded like a joke.
Skyhawk was an expert. Not to mention, he had companions with him. It was simply unrealistic for a player to kill all three of his companions.
"It's true. Here's a video of their battle," the young man hurriedly sent the video to Yuan Tiexin.
The video was rather far from the battle's location, so the details of the battle could not be seen clearly. However, the Mana Cutter in Skyhawk's hand was unmistakable. Yuan Tiexin was certain that it was Skyhawk himself.
"What a powerful skill!" Although Yuan Tiexin could not see the entire process of the battle clearly, he could also determine why Skyhawk and the rest lost. "Just who is this person?"
"We're already doing our best to investigate this matter. However, the information we can glean from the battle footage is too limited. The Flower of Seven Sins should have more detailed information. However, the levels of our spies in the organization are too low. They can't access this information. The Guild Leader wants us to find this expert as soon as possible. We cannot let the Flower of Seven Sins get ahead of us."
"I understand. I will do my best to investigate."
As Yuan Tiexin watched the battle video, he could not help his interest in the mysterious expert that had killed Skyhawk's trio. Nodding, he instructed his subordinates to conduct a thorough investigation.
At the same time, God's Domain's various superpowers issued orders to investigate the mysterious expert that had killed Skyhawk.
The Shifeng, on the other hand, were completely unaware of the World Summit's Epic Shrine.
Unlike the Dark-Gold and Fine-Gold Shrines, the Epic Shrine was devoid of players. Towering Shrines surrounded the Epic Shrine. There was no need to worry about players competing for the Epic Shrines.
"Shenjing is slightly less valuable than Epic items. The higher the Shrines are, the more difficult they become. The treasures they obtain will also be more valuable. We should only need to explore the lowest level." Shifeng glanced at the towering Epic Shrines on the mountain.
He then set to work.
There were a total of 21 Epic Shrines on the lowest level of the Epic Shrine. Without giving the matter too much thought, Shifeng made his way to the lowest Epic Shrine.
Arriving before the Epic Shrine's doors, Shifeng touched the doors.
System: Inferior Legendary Shrine Key detected. You are qualified to open the Epic Shrine's doors. Do you wish to spend 1,000 minutes to open them?
Without hesitation, Shifeng clicked "Agree."
Immediately, the Shrine's doors opened, and Shifeng entered.
The instant he entered the Shrine, he felt as if he had arrived in a different world.
He arrived at a rooftop suspended in the clouds. From time to time, he could see birds and beasts flying by. These birds and beasts were astonishingly powerful. Even the weakest among them was a Level 150 Great Lord, while the strongest were Level 180 Mythic monsters …
Any one of these Mythic monsters could easily claim Shifeng's life.
Numerous humanoid statues stood in the center of the rooftop. Beneath these statues was a dazzling item. From a distance, Shi Feng could tell that these items were extremely valuable.
As Shifeng approached the statues to inspect them, the sound of a system notification reached his ears once more.
System: You may choose one of the statues. So long as you meet the requirements, you may obtain the item beneath the statue. If you fail to meet the requirements within the specified time, you will be teleported out of the Shrine.
Sure enough, it won't let others take away the items so easily. Shifeng wasn't surprised by this.
Although every shrine on the World Summit was a reward, not all shrines could be opened. At the same time, there would be some tests, just like the last time he went to the shrine of the Lord of Destruction.
If he did not choose the appropriate difficulty based on his strength, he might end up empty-handed.
There were a total of 12 statues on the rooftop. Among them, four were damaged items, five were complete pieces of Epic Equipment, two were complete Epic Weapons, and one was complete Epic item.
According to the difficulty of obtaining items in God's Domain, Epic items were undoubtedly the most difficult to obtain. Among them, the damaged items were definitely the least valuable. Hence, it was easy to determine the difficulty of obtaining an Epic item.
However, this did not matter to Shifeng. After all, Shifeng was not interested in any tangible items. He only had one goal in mind, and that was Shenjing.
"Hopefully, it's Shenjing." Shifeng then approached one of the damaged statues and chose this one.
The instant he made his choice, the motionless statue suddenly shattered. Suddenly, a stalwart man in golden armor and wielding two swords appeared before Shifeng.
[Shrine Knight] (Primordial Human, Tier 4 Sword Emperor) Level 100 HP 20,000,000/20,000,000
The instant the Shrine Knight appeared, Shi Feng felt an unprecedented pressure weigh down on him. He could feel dense killing intent radiating from the Shrine Knight.
NPCs were different from monsters. When both sides were of the same tier, NPCs' combat techniques were far superior to monsters of the same level. Moreover, this Shrine Knight was a Primordial Human …
Primordial Humans were not like modern humans, who had long since gone extinct in God's Domain.
Unlike modern humans, these ancient humans had been blessed by God. Their Life Ratings were much higher than modern humans'. They were bona fide humanoid monsters. Take the legendary Dragonslayers for example. In reality, however, they weren't limited to modern humans, but ancient humans. After all, the difference in Life Ratings between modern humans and Dragons was simply too great. Even five NPCs of the same tier wouldn't be a match for a Tier 5 Dragon.
However, Primordial Humans were capable of fighting Dragons.
