As Shifeng inspected the page, his eyes glowed with excitement.
[Lightning Flash] The tattered page contains a secret offensive technique that has been passed down since ancient times. Only after collecting all of the pages will one be able to view its complete contents. There are a total of 13 pages. This is the third page.

In the Primordial Divine Ruin, the loot for Basic Combat Techniques was complete. Normally, only Advanced Combat Techniques and above would be in tattered pages.
However, even Advanced Combat Techniques and above had differences in strength.
Not only could combat techniques improve a player's combat standards, but they could also significantly increase a player's combat power, allowing them to challenge opponents of a higher level. Ordinary combat techniques couldn't allow Half-step Refinement Realm players to fight against Refinement Realm players, but ordinary Advanced Combat Techniques could.
This was why even Super Guilds and super-first-rate Guilds sought to compete in the Primordial Divine Ruin.
Generally, the strength of an Advanced Combat Technique depended on the number of tattered pages it contained. Ordinary Advanced Combat Techniques had six to eight pages, first-rate Advanced Combat Techniques had nine to twelve pages, and peak Advanced Combat Techniques had thirteen to fifteen pages.
Ordinary Advanced Combat Techniques could only allow Half-step Refinement Realm experts to contend with Refinement Realm experts. First-rate Advanced Combat Techniques could allow Refinement Realm experts to contend with Flowing Water Realm experts. As for peak Advanced Combat Techniques, they could even be effective against Void Realm experts.
Just how rare were Void Realm experts in the game?
If a peak Advanced Combat Technique could pose a threat to Void Realm experts, it was easy to imagine how valuable it was.
Without a doubt, Lightning Flash was a peak Advanced Combat Technique.
Shifeng had never imagined that he would be so lucky as to obtain a tattered page for a peak Advanced Combat Technique. Moreover, it was an attack-type Advanced Combat Technique. This was something that Ling Yi did not possess. If he could collect the complete Lightning Flash Secret Technique, it would be of great help to the Guild's experts. It would be even more effective than the Conqueror's Armor.
The Conqueror's Armor only gave players the strength to contend with Refinement Realm experts temporarily. At the end of the day, the Conqueror's Armor was only Level 50 equipment. Once players reached a certain level, the Conqueror's Armor would become obsolete.
Advanced Combat Techniques, on the other hand, were different. So long as players learned them, they would be useful regardless of their Level. Advanced Combat Techniques would also be of great help to players when they reached higher tiers.
A complete Advanced Combat Technique was different from a Secret Technique tablet. The combat techniques taught in a Secret Technique tablet might be more powerful, but there were too few people who could learn them. Hence, it was impossible to disseminate them. However, a complete Advanced Combat Technique was different. It could be stored in the Guild Warehouse for Guild members to view at any time.
Not to mention whether or not they could learn it, at least everyone would have a chance to learn it. Moreover, the effect of teaching was better than personally teaching.
In the past, the reason why the various superpowers' experts had a much easier time leveling up than first-rate Guilds and other Guilds wasn't just because of their superior weapons and equipment. Rather, it was because of the difference in Advanced Combat Techniques.
Thinking up to this point, Shifeng did not let the party rest. They immediately searched for the next Boss.
The Ancient Weather Book's duration was two hours, while its Cooldown was ten hours. He might be able to afford to wait for such a long Cooldown, but the same couldn't be said for Primordial City. Who knew if there was a limit to the number of players who could enter Primordial City from the fifth floor? It would be fine if there wasn't a limit, but if there was, then he'd lose his chance to enter Primordial City if he was late.
Hence, Shi Feng only had two hours. He had to seize every second.
Back on the Thunder Plain, Ling YI Society's members pounced on the Grand Lord ranked Thunder Elementals and Thunderbeast like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey. Unlike the other superpowers, they would return to their safe zones to rest.
This situation made the various superpowers jealous.
Without the threat of lightning strikes, Ling YI Society could slaughter these ready-made Grand Lords as they pleased. Not only would they earn a ton of EXP, but they would also obtain a large number of top-tier equipment. The Thunder Plain was a holy land for grinding and leveling up.
"How is this possible?" Wild Ocean, the Shield Warrior from King's Return, was speechless.
He had assumed that the Ling YI Society would be stuck on the third floor, but based on Ling Yi's momentum, it was likely that they would become the first team to reach the Primordial Divine Ruin's fourth floor.
"Uncle Broken, should we contact them now?" Praying Lotus whispered to Broken City, who stood beside her.
Even now, the highest the various superpowers had reached was the fourth floor. None of them had reached the fifth floor yet. This was all because the fourth floor's difficulty was simply too high. The third floor simply couldn't compare to the fourth floor.
With their current strength, the only way to clear the fourth floor and reach the fifth floor was to work together.
However, if they did, they would have fewer slots to reach the fifth floor.
"No, it's still a little early. It won't be too late to invite them after they hit a wall on the fourth floor," Broken City said, chuckling as he shook his head.
The fourth floor's difficulty wasn't child's play like the third floor's. Not only did players have to face all kinds of attacks, but they also had to face an extraordinary Guardian Boss. The Guardian Boss was a bona fide Level 58 Archaic Species. Even now, not a single superpower had been able to do anything to the Guardian Boss. Although they had made ample preparations this time, their chances of defeating the Guardian Boss were less than 30%, much less the Ling YI Society.
While the various superpowers were grinding on the third floor's Bosses, news that the Ling YI Society was close to reaching the Primordial Divine Ruin's fourth floor spread throughout the ruin, reaching the ears of the various superpowers. The various kingdoms' large Guilds and top adventurer teams, in particular, gained a new understanding of the Ling YI Society.
The Primordial Divine Ruin's fourth floor had always been the domain of superpowers. The fact that the Ling YI Society had reached the fourth floor proved that the Ling YI Society's top-tier experts were not much weaker than the various superpowers'. At the very least, the Ling YI Society was much stronger than first-rate Guilds and top adventurer teams.
However, in Ancient Rock City's meeting room, a deathly silence descended over the Primordial Divine Ruin's fourth floor.
Nobody could've imagined that, in less than a day, the Sky Burial Society, which had held a massive advantage over the Primordial Divine Ruin's players, had destroyed Ancient Rock City's defensive magic array, and had stolen the Sky Burial Society's entry slots to the Primordial Divine Ruin. Now, the Ling YI Society was on the verge of reaching the ruin's fourth floor.
As a result, the Sky Burial Society's situation had flipped 180 degrees.
"Zero Wing, you bastard! Now that you've destroyed Ancient Rock City's defensive magic array, you dare come to the Ore Empire to steal our Sky Burial Society's opportunities?! You really don't respect the Sky Burial Society at all! " Singular Burial frowned as he read the latest report on Ling Yi, an indescribable rage filling his face. The Sky Burial Society had thoroughly humiliated itself this time. If they did not think of a solution quickly, even if they managed to defend Ancient Rock City, their path forward would become much more difficult. Singular Burial then turned to Flame Blood, who sat beside him, and coldly said, "Flame Blood, didn't you say that Beast Emperor needs the souls of 400,000 elite players to display his true strength in the Starmoon Kingdom? Go and tell him now that I can fulfill his request. "
"Guild Leader, are you … giving up on the entire Starmoon Kingdom?" Flame Blood was stunned when he heard Singular Burial's words.
The strength Beast Emperor had mentioned was no joke. That was the Sky Burial Society's last and worst option.
"That's right. Since we can't obtain it, what's the point of keeping the Starmoon Kingdom?" Singular Burial nodded coldly, a hint of madness flashing in his eyes.
Although he did not want to admit it, he had no choice but to admit that Sky Burial Society had lost the struggle for the Starmoon Kingdom. Setting aside whether or not they could defend Ancient Rock City, even if they could, the funds needed to repair the city would be a huge problem. Not to mention, they had to spend a lot of money every day. With such a frightening expenditure, even with the support of a major corporation, the Sky Burial Society wouldn't be able to sustain the city for long.
If he wanted to continue the Sky Burial Society, he had no other choice.
"I understand. I'll contact Beast Emperor immediately."
