The treasure chest on the ancient altar flickered. Although the orange-red glow was very faint, the sight of it made Zero Wing's members gulp involuntarily, their gazes glued to the treasure chest.
Currently, God's Domain's various large Guilds only had a few Epic items. Only large Guilds had slightly more, but even then, they only had a dozen or so. First-rate Guilds would be heaven-defying if they had 30.
Epic items were godly equipment in players' eyes.
Meanwhile, an Inferior Legendary Treasure Chest had a very high chance of dropping a Fragmented Legendary item.
Currently, the various large Guilds might not know the value of a Fragmented Legendary item, but Ling Yi's core upper echelons knew it very well. This was especially true for Ke Le, Fire Dance, Gentle Snow, and Zhao Yueru, who had already obtained Fragmented Legendary items.
A Fragmented Legendary item was enough to nurture a peak expert. It was precisely because of the Fragmented Legendary item that they could suppress peak experts. Otherwise, even if they worked together, they wouldn't be a match for a peak expert with the same Basic Attributes.
Without Fragmented Legendary items, Ling Yi wouldn't have any hope of contending with a superpower without at least three to five years of hard work.
An Inferior Legendary Treasure Chest? Shi Feng narrowed his eyes as he looked at the Treasure Chest on the altar, confusion filling his heart.
He had visited the Falling Star Secret Land dozens of times in the past, but he had never heard of this altar or treasure chest. Moreover, it was actually an Inferior Legendary Treasure Chest.
The only place an Inferior Legendary Treasure Chest had appeared was on the Fallen Ark. He had never heard of any treasure chest anywhere else. What was the Fallen Ark? The Fallen Ark was the ultimate weapon of the ancient God's War.
Yet, an Inferior Legendary Treasure Chest had appeared in the Falling Star Secret Land.
Could the Falling Star Secret Land be hiding some other secret? Shifeng could not help but fall into deep thought.
In the past, aside from the crusade against the Lord of Fire, there had been nothing special about the Falling Star Secret Land. After the crusade against the Lord of Fire, the secret land had become a land of death. Even monsters had disappeared.
Furthermore, the divine aura emanating from the altar was extraordinary. It was definitely an altar built by an ancient god, not a mortal.
"Guild Leader, should we take action now?" Shiuse Qiangwei could not help but ask Xiang Shifeng when he saw the Inferior Legendary Treasure Chest.
Although there were around 500 Level 72 and Level 73 Lord ranked Lava Hounds below the altar, these Lord ranked Lava Hounds were mere appetizers to Zero Wing's team. Killing them would be a piece of cake.
"Wait!" Shifeng stopped him.
Following which, Shifeng activated Omniscient Eyes and scanned the Lava Hounds. In God's Domain, one had to be extra careful when discovering a treasure that didn't match its quality. A single mistake could cost one's life.
If they really wanted a player's life, they would have to start all over again.
Of course, such situations usually occurred in high-level maps after Level 150. He had never heard of such situations happening in maps below Level 100.
But there was nothing wrong with being careful.
[Lava Hound (Eloch's Doppelganger)] (Elemental Creature, Lord) Level 72 HP 24,000,000/24,000,000
"A hidden title?" Shifeng quickly noticed something strange. When he used an ordinary Identification Skill on these Lava Hounds, he would only see ordinary Lava Hounds. However, when he used Omniscient Eyes, he noticed a hidden title. "Eloch's Doppelganger? Sure enough, it's a trap! "
"A trap?" Fire Dance asked curiously as she looked at Shifeng. "But I've already looked around. I didn't find any traps."
Before her team had arrived, she had scouted the altar and its surroundings. However, she hadn't discovered any magical or physical traps. She had already reached the Master rank in Disarming Traps. Although she might not be able to disarm Grandmaster Traps, she could easily discover them.
"This isn't an obvious trap," Shifeng said, chuckling. He then turned to Fire Dance and said, "Fire, lead an Assassin party and try to lure these Lava Hounds 100 yards away from the altar. Remember, do not kill a single Lava Hound."
At this moment, Shi Feng more or less understood why no one had mentioned this in the past.
Eloch was one of the Purgatory World's Four Monarchs. He was also known as the Lord of Death.
The Lord of Death was a bona fide Tier 5 Great Boss. During the World War in the past, the various large Guilds that had invaded the Purgatory World suffered a miserable defeat. During the war, 20 Tier 5 apex experts had tried to surround and kill Eloch. However, those 20 Tier 5 experts had actually blocked one of the Lord of Death's attacks.
If not for a Tier 6 God-ranked expert appearing at that time, everyone would've died!
However, even after killing the Lord of Death, the Guilds had paid the price of tens of thousands of experts. Among them, over a hundred Tier 5 apex experts had died. There was no need to count the number of Tier 4 experts that had died.
Since these Lava Hounds were Eloch's Doppelganger, it went without saying that this was Eloch's treasure trove. Treasure troves appeared randomly in God's Domain, and players only had one chance to obtain one.
If they killed Eloch's doppelganger, the main body would learn of it. At that time, even if Eloch did not come personally, he would send a doppelganger. Even if the doppelganger was a Tier 5 Great Boss, it was still not an existence that current players could afford to provoke.
Not only would everyone die, but Eloch would also move the treasure trove. Although such a thing was rare in God's Domain, Shifeng had heard of it before.
After receiving Shifeng's command, Fire Dance led an Assassin party to lure the Lava Hounds away from the altar. The instant the last Lava Hound was 100 yards away from the altar, the magic array protecting the altar shattered. Divine Might then flooded the area, making everyone's bodies feel heavy. Without hesitation, Shifeng activated Gale Domain and flew toward the altar, leaving behind afterimages.
The closer they got to the altar, the stronger the Divine Might became. Even Shifeng felt immense pressure from the Lava Hounds, making it difficult for him to move.
When they were less than 50 yards away from the altar, Shifeng didn't even have the strength to move forward.
"Open!"
Shifeng immediately activated Heavenly Dragon's Power, his Strength skyrocketing. He then approached the Inferior Legendary Treasure Chest on the altar.
As a Tier 5 World Boss, an existence that was only a step away from becoming a God, it wouldn't be difficult for Shi Feng to obtain their hidden treasures.
The Lava Hounds below the altar were both Eloch's Doppelganger and the source of power protecting the treasure trove.
As long as the Lava Hounds existed, the magic array protecting the treasure trove would stabilize the treasure trove in this space and seal the Divine Might. Once the Lava Hounds were gone, the magic array would unravel. Not only would the Divine Might no longer be suppressed, but even the space around the treasure trove would become unstable. It would only take 20 seconds for the treasure trove to return to its original space.
In other words, after luring away the Lava Hounds' Doppelganger, players would only have 30 seconds to retrieve the treasure trove.
However, even though Shifeng had activated Heavenly Dragon's Power, he still moved very slowly across the altar. It was as if a gigantic beast was desperately pulling him back.
"Blade Release, activate!"
Shifeng took a look at the time. He had less than 20 seconds left. Without hesitation, he activated Twofold Berserk.
After activating Twofold Berserk, Shifeng's Strength rivaled that of Mythic monsters of the same level. Although Shifeng's Strength increased slightly, he was still much slower than normal walking.
As the seconds ticked by, Shifeng inched closer to the Inferior Legendary Treasure Chest.
Twenty yards … Ten yards … Five yards …
However, time passed quickly. Fifteen seconds … Twelve seconds … Ten seconds …
The space around the altar began to shatter, and space began to return to its original position.
Just as the altar was about to disappear, Shifeng's hand finally came into contact with the treasure chest.
"Collect!" Shifeng hurriedly shouted.
Collecting the Inferior Legendary Treasure Chest required eight seconds of channeling. Seeing the channeling time, Shifeng grew nervous. The altar had already begun to disappear from the bottom, followed by the middle, and finally, the top of the altar.
