"What is this thing?!"
The closer Shifeng got to the floating, pitch-black energy bead, the heavier his body felt. His consciousness even began to blur. It was as if his body no longer belonged to him, and his control over it became sluggish.
He had never heard of such a thing happening before.
If it were just a suppression of Attributes, at most, players would feel a decrease in Strength or a sense of powerlessness. They definitely wouldn't experience such a fuzzy feeling.
Although his Basic Attributes hadn't decreased in the slightest, his combat power had decreased by at least 80%. Right now, even an ordinary Tier 2 expert could easily kill him.
"It's best if you don't get too close to this thing." When Shifeng was less than one yard away from the pitch-black energy bead, Seliora suddenly waved her hand. Immediately, Shifeng moved out of the energy bead's radiation range.
Only after Shifeng left the bead's radiation range did he regain control over his body. He stared at the energy bead in disbelief.
Too powerful!
If anyone could use such an ability, they would be practically invincible in a team battle. After all, the energy bead did not suppress a player's Basic Attributes. Instead, it greatly reduced a player's control over their body. No matter how high a player's Basic Attributes were, they wouldn't fare much better than other players within the bead's radiation range.
"This is not something you can come into contact with right now. If you touch that energy bead with your Tier 2 standards, you will die immediately. Even if you are a heaven-blessed individual, you will most likely need a long time to resurrect," Seliora explained as she looked at Shifeng's dazed expression.
"I'll die if I touch it? Moreover, I'll have a longer resurrection period?" Shifeng's curiosity about the pitch-black energy bead grew. "Lady Seliora, what is this thing?"
He had heard of plenty of items that could kill players upon contact. However, he had never heard of an item that could significantly prolong a player's resurrection period. There were, however, some Skills and NPCs that could prolong a player's resurrection period, such as the ability to absorb a player's Immortal Soul.
However, when Shi Feng used Omniscient Eyes to observe the energy bead, the only information he received was "Unknown."
"That's a Destruction Crystal formed from the power of destruction. Not only will it completely destroy matter, but it can also completely destroy souls. Even if an Immortal Soul touches a trace of it, it will take a considerable amount of time to recover." Looking at the pitch-black energy bead hovering in the air, Seliora softly explained, "Although I have yet to activate any of the Destruction Crystal's energy, the weak energy it emits is still too dangerous for you."
After saying that, Seliora began chanting an incantation, her hands writing divine runes.
Golden divine runes immediately enveloped the floating Destruction Crystal. Following which, Seliora waved her hand, and the Destruction Crystal landed before the Shifeng.
"This Destruction Crystal can be considered an unexpected gain. You can use it to save your life at a critical moment. However, you have to be careful when using it. If you're not careful, you might end up devouring yourself." "Alright, you can leave now. I've gained a lot from recasting the Disintegration Armor this time. I'm going to rest and tidy myself up. I don't wish to be disturbed by anyone. I might not be in White River City for some time."
Following which, Shifeng stored the Destruction Crystal, nodded, and left.
Although it seemed as if Seliora hadn't done much, as a Master Forger, Shifeng knew just how much work she had to do to reengrave the divine runes on the Disintegration Armor. Even a Grandmaster Forger like Seliora seemed exhausted.
After leaving Seliora's smithy, Shifeng curiously inspected the Destruction Crystal inside his bag.
[Destruction Crystal] (Consumable Item) Sealed by Seliora. When unsealed, release the power of destruction within a 1,000-yard radius.
"A 1,000-yard radius?" Shifeng's mouth twitched involuntarily when he saw the crystal's Attribute Panel.
The power of destruction filled a 1,000-yard radius. This AOE was even more powerful than a Tier 4 super-large-scale destruction Spell. However, unlike super-large-scale destruction Spells, super-large-scale destruction Magic Scrolls could be activated from very far away and would not affect players unless they enveloped themselves within the Magic Scrolls.
The Destruction Crystal, on the other hand, was a bomb that would explode immediately after its seal was unsealed. Even if players threw the Destruction Crystal, they'd be lucky if they could throw it 100 yards away. However, with a 1,000-yard radius, it would be difficult for players to avoid getting caught in the blast.
The power of destruction could deal damage to both the physical body and the soul. If players got killed by the Destruction Crystal, they'd suffer an even worse fate than if they had absorbed an Immortal Soul …
It was no wonder why Seliora had warned him to be careful when using the Destruction Crystal.
It seems that I can't use this item unless absolutely necessary. Shifeng's heart palpitated when he recalled the faint feeling of the Destruction Crystal he had felt before.
If he accidentally got himself caught in the blast, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, now that he had dealt with the matter of the Disintegration Armor, his Basic Attributes were no longer suppressed by the Disintegration Armor. Even if he ventured outside, he wouldn't have to worry about being targeted by Mutated Orcs. He could now begin his many plans.
Just as Shifeng was about to head to Ling Yi City to take a look, the sound of a system communication notification entered his ears. Shifeng glanced at the caller ID.
"Feng Qianyu?"
Shifeng could not help his curiosity when he saw that the caller ID was Feng Qianyu.
During this period, Feng Qianyu had been incredibly busy. After all, he had just obtained a portion of Thunder Island's control over the island. Now was the time for him to begin a large-scale construction and increase his strength. In addition, Nine Dragons Emperor's situation was not stable, and he needed to be on guard at all times. Hence, he couldn't handle the situation by himself. Yet, Feng Qianyu had suddenly contacted him.
Following which, Shifeng accepted the call.
"Ye Feng, I've just received a piece of news. You'd best be careful of the Sky Burial Society," Feng Qianyu said as he looked at Shi Feng. Looking at Shifeng, Feng Qianyu said with a grim expression, "Previously, due to our cooperation, Nine Dragons Emperor failed to gain anything on Thunder Island. Hence, he has secretly joined forces with Beast Emperor. According to my men's reports, Nine Dragons Emperor only has one request for Beast Emperor, and that is to destroy your Ling YI Society. Meanwhile, Beast Emperor has a close relationship with the Sky Burial Society. Now that your two Guilds are at war, Beast Emperor will definitely not let this opportunity slip by."
"Beast Emperor?" Shifeng could not help but frown when he heard Shi Feng's words.
Previously, he had been constantly fighting with the Sky Burial Society. Hence, he had set aside Beast Emperor, who had already activated the Black Dragon Empire's Evil God's Temple.
If Beast Emperor participated in this Guild war, the Ling YI Society would indeed be at a disadvantage. Unfortunately, he did not know where the Evil God's Temple was located. Beast Emperor was also elusive. Hence, he could only passively defend himself. "Oh, right.
You should also be careful of the Sky Burial Society's Lei Jingyang. Although Lei Jingyang is only a Workshop and not a Guild, his Thunder Legion has plenty of Refinement Realm experts. Moreover, they are extremely proficient in field battles. Previously, the super-first-rate Guild Crimson Emperor lost to Lei Jingyang over an ancient ruin. Even Cuttlefish, the commander of Crimson Emperor's trump card legion, died. It is best to avoid small-scale battles with them in the fields, "Feng Qianyu warned.
"Cuttlefish wasn't a match for Lei Jingyang?" Shifeng could not help his surprise.
Crimson Emperor was a super-first-rate Guild. Its strength was no weaker than the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion's. Meanwhile, Cuttlefish was the commander of Crimson Emperor's trump card legion. Although he was not a Domain Realm expert, he had plenty of combat experience. In addition, Cuttlefish was a Guardian Knight, also known as the Iron Wall Giant. He was a great expert ranked 77th on the God's Domain Experts List. Even a Domain Realm expert would have a hard time killing him. Moreover, Cuttlefish was constantly protected by the Guild's experts.
"In any case, you need to be careful." Feng Qianyu nodded. "If you don't have enough manpower on your side, I can have Blue Phoenix lead a group of experts over. Now that the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion's members have shown up, I believe the Sky Burial Society will restrain themselves."
"Thanks, but leave this matter to us. After all, your side isn't having it easy. I've heard that Nine Dragons Emperor has caused quite a bit of trouble for you," Shifeng rejected Shi Feng's offer, chuckling.
The Sky Burial Society was not to be trifled with, but he was no pushover, either.
"Alright, then." Feng Qianyu could not help but sigh. He felt that the Ling YI Society was a little too stubborn. Although Ling Yi was much stronger than before, the Sky Burial Society wasn't their only opponent now. Blackwater and Beast Emperor were also involved. If they were not careful, their Guild might crumble instantly.
Following which, Shifeng disconnected the call. He then contacted Shiuse Qiangwei and had Shiuse Qiangwei contact all of the Guild's internal members and the White Tiger Dojo's disciples to temporarily put down their work and gather in White River City's Residence.
