Following the Flame Demon King's death, the rampaging fire-type mana in the mountain range calmed down.
"It's finally dead." Shifeng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the Black Dragon's doppelganger dissipating.
If not for the Abyssal Blade's ability to transform into a Black Dragon, he wouldn't have stood a chance against the Flame Demon King. After all, no matter how weak the Flame Demon King was, it was still a Mythic monster. Not only was the Flame Demon King's Strength superior to his, but it also had far more HP. Even if the Flame Demon King only had 10% of its HP remaining, it could still kill him.
Although Shi Feng had sacrificed 10 points to all his Basic Attributes, when he looked at the small mountain of treasures the Flame Demon King had left behind after its death, none of that mattered.
As a World Boss, the Flame Demon King was still a Mythic World Boss. Even though it had been weakened due to a quest, its loot was still bountiful.
Moreover, the Flame Demon King's bountiful loot wasn't the only reason he wanted to kill it. Most importantly, he wanted the Guild Promotion Order. Only the First Kill of the Flame Demon King was guaranteed to drop the Promotion Order. If he killed the Flame Demon King afterward, there was only a small chance that the Promotion Order would drop.
Currently, the Ling YI Society was a 3-star Guild. It held a considerable advantage over other Guilds. However, as the various large Guilds progressed faster in raiding 100-man Hell Mode Team Dungeons, it was only a matter of time before the Guild became a 3-star Guild.
A superpower and a 3-star Guild like the Ling YI Society were two completely different concepts.
Both the Guild Employment Center and the Guild Training Room were important. The larger a Guild was, the more advantageous it would be. Take the Ling Yi Society for example. It had only become the number one Guild in the Starmoon Kingdom after much difficulty. Even if it developed rapidly and became as powerful as a first-rate Guild, it was still significantly weaker than a first-rate Guild. Not to mention, the various superpowers' influence covered multiple kingdoms and empires. Some even covered over a dozen kingdoms and empires.
One could just imagine how frightening these superpowers would be once they became 3-star Guilds.
The Ling YI Society, on the other hand, could not reflect this. After all, the foundations it had accumulated during the early stages of the game were on a completely different level. The Ling YI Society had started from scratch. Even if it had the upper hand, it was still far from matching the foundations a first-rate Guild had accumulated during the early stages of the game, much less the various superpowers.
However, this couldn't be helped. This was the effect of a snowball effect. Otherwise, the various major powers wouldn't have invested so much in God's Domain as soon as it launched. While it might not be obvious during the early stages of God's Domain, it would only become more obvious as the game progressed. Catching up to God's Domain wouldn't be easy.
As long as a superpower became a 3-star Guild, not only would it nurture a large number of elite players, but it would also receive a significant boost to its financial strength.
If the Ling YI Society, which dominated a kingdom, wanted to develop faster than these three-star superpowers, there was only one way.
Promotion to a 4-star Guild!
Unlike 3-star Guilds, 4-star Guilds didn't have an advantage over 3-star Guilds in terms of size. Instead, 4-star Guilds were more meticulous. They didn't have any additional special buildings. They only had access to the Adventurer's Association, officially becoming a large Guild recognized by the Adventurer's Association. At that time, the Adventurer's Association would issue large-scale quests directly to the Guild. These quests ranged from easy quests to difficult quests. There were even kingdom-level quests.
These quests offered bountiful rewards. Moreover, they could also raise players' ranks in the Adventurer's Association.
The most important aspect of becoming a 4-star Guild was that every Adventurer's Association on the continent of God's Domain had a temporary Guild Rest Area. These temporary Rest Areas might not be very large, but they had one benefit: they could receive requests from NPC towns and cities. Guild members would no longer be limited to the towns and cities with Guild Residences.
All Guild members would be able to travel to various locations on the continent of God's Domain to complete quests. They would no longer have to compete for quests, which would result in a lack of leveling resources. The only downside of this Rest Area was that the Adventurer's Association would take a portion of the profits from these quests.
Even so, the Rest Area would still bring more wealth to the Guild. At the same time, it could also increase the Guild's Popularity on the continent of God's Domain, killing two birds with one stone.
This was the unique characteristic of 4-star Guilds. They would no longer have to limit their development to a single location.
Of course, the result of this was obvious. Guilds would no longer have to compete with each other in one location. Their opponents would also increase, and the competition would become increasingly intense.
However, as long as they became a 4-star Guild first, they would have a significant advantage. Hence, Shi Feng had taken the risk to kill the Flame Demon King.
Following which, Shifeng began to organize the Flame Demon King's loot.
Just as Shifeng had guessed, a 4-star Guild Promotion Order was among the loot. As long as a 3-star Guild obtained 200,000 Guild Popularity, it could become a 4-star Guild.
The loot sure is bountiful. As expected of a World Boss. Shifeng was inwardly astonished when he counted the loot.
A total of over 100 items had dropped, and over half of them were rare materials. Among these materials, one of them was the extremely rare Seven Luminaries Crystal. Although there were only three Seven Luminaries Crystals, which equated to 10 units, they were far more valuable than the other materials. Normally, one wouldn't be able to find one.
In addition, all of the weapons and equipment dropped were Level 70-plus Fine-Gold rank. Among them, there were four pieces of the Level 70 Fine-Gold Set Equipment, the Thunderfire Sin, a complete set of the Level 70 Fine-Gold Set Equipment, the Scorching Wind Set Equipment, and one piece of the Epic Equipment, the Scorching Hand.
Although the Flame Demon King's loot seemed ordinary, Shifeng's eyes glowed when he saw the loot.
The Sin of Thunderfire Set Equipment was a top-tier set equipment for magical classes. Only Level 70-plus Mythic ranked Field Monsters would drop it. The Sin of Thunderfire Set Equipment had a total of six pieces. Even superpowers would have to expend a lot of effort to collect all six pieces of the set.
The Scorching Wind Set was the same. However, it was a set equipment for plate armor classes. Not only was its Fire Resistance superior to Dark Corrosion, but its six-piece set effect was also heaven-defying. When activated, players could transform into a War God of Fire, possessing a Life Rating that rivaled that of an Archaic Species.
When players transformed into an Archaic Species, their Life Rating might not be as high as when they transformed into a Black Dragon. However, when it came to controlling the Life Rating of an Archaic Species, it was much easier for players to transform into an Archaic Species. It was easy to imagine how powerful players would be. Only, the Life Rating of the Flame Demon King's avatar was.
Even so, the Flame Demon King's avatar was still very powerful.
The Sin of Thunderfire Set's six-piece set equipment was the same. When activated, players could transform into a Thunderfire Envoy.
Due to this two-piece set effect, the Sin of Thunderfire Envoy was publicly acknowledged as the strongest set equipment available at Level 70. Even Level 70 Dark-Gold Set Equipment could not compare.
Shi Feng had never thought that he would be able to collect the Scorching Wind Set Equipment and four pieces of the Sin of Thunderfire Envoy. He only needed two more pieces to complete the set.
If he could equip his Guild members with these two pieces, he'd be overjoyed.
As for the Scorching Hands, the Epic cloth armor gloves were excellent as well. Not only did they increase players' Fire Resistance significantly, but they also increased players' Spell Completion Rates by 2% and allowed them to summon a Lord ranked Fire Envoy of the same level. To magical class players who weren't skilled in melee combat, these gloves were excellent.
After sorting through the Flame Demon King's loot, Shifeng retrieved the Philosopher's Hand from his bag and inspected it. Suppressing his inner calm, he clicked to inspect the gloves' Attributes.
