Mana Crystals!
To other players, Mana Crystals were only valuable rare materials or energy sources, but to Shifeng, they were just as valuable as Seven Luminaries Crystals.
Mana Crystals were the materials needed to upgrade the Abyssal Blade. They could help the weapon evolve.
Previously, to upgrade the Abyssal Blade, Shifeng had secretly ordered A Melancholy Smile to purchase Mana Crystals. However, even now, he had failed to find a single one.
Now that the Void Bugs had dropped Mana Crystals, it was a pleasant surprise for Shifeng.
The Abyssal Blade had always been of great help to him. It was already comparable to a top-tier Epic Weapon. However, upgrading the Abyssal Blade required a large number of Fine-Gold and Dark-Gold Weapons. Moreover, the higher a weapon's rank was, the rarer it was. Normally, it was extremely difficult to obtain a Level 90 Fine-Gold Weapon. In fact, the various large Guilds only had a handful of Level 90 Fine-Gold Weapons, much less Level 90-plus Dark-Gold Weapons.
Due to these reasons, the Abyssal Blade had gradually become unsuitable for him.
However, Magic Weapons were not items that could be abandoned at will. Even if players stopped using the Magic Weapon, the curse within the Magic Weapon would remain. Not only would this curse grow stronger with the weapon, but it would also grow stronger with time. Even if players stopped using the Magic Weapon, they would suffer a Backlash in the future. Moreover, the Backlash would be even more intense, forcing players to upgrade their Magic Weapons. Hence, God's Domain's players were very afraid of Magic Weapons.
While Magic Weapons were of great help during the early stages of the game, as players reached higher levels, they would also become a burden.
Of course, if players could stabilize their Magic Weapons with them, the benefits would outweigh the disadvantages. Moreover, a fully grown Magic Weapon would be even stronger than an Epic Weapon. Only, doing so was extremely difficult. Otherwise, so many experts wouldn't have suffered a Backlash.
Following which, the Shifeng stored the Mana Crystals and continued to clear out the Void Bugs. As they did so, they made their way to the island's center.
The entire Void Island was like a medium-sized leveling map in the outside world. The closer they were to the center, the denser the Void Bugs were, and the faster they respawned. Even with Anna and Kite's help, the Shifeng had no choice but to proceed with caution. After all, Anna and Kite could tank the Void Bugs, but he could not.
Although clearing the Void Bugs was tedious, the EXP they gave was high. Moreover, Mana Crystals dropped from the Void Bugs from time to time, giving Shifeng plenty of motivation. They hunted the Void Bugs without rest.
In just one day, Shifeng's experience bar had reached 99% of Level 100. He only needed to kill one more Void Bug to reach Level 101. However, Shifeng did not do so. Instead, he summoned the Thunder Eagle and closed his experience bar, allowing the Thunder Eagle to enjoy the EXP alone.
Flying Mounts weren't like land Mounts. Land Mounts could level up as players leveled up, but Flying Mounts didn't. Instead, players needed EXP to level up. Hence, nurturing a Flying Mount was a very troublesome task. However, now was the perfect time to nurture one.
In God's Domain, Flying Mounts weren't just a means of transportation. They were also powerful helpers.
If players wanted to improve their strength, they needed to upgrade their levels, equipment, and Skills, but Flying Mounts only needed to level up. Moreover, once a Flying Mount reached a certain level, it would be much easier for Flying Mounts to evolve. Hence, in the past, many experts had given up on leveling up to provide their Flying Mounts with EXP.
The Thunder Eagle was an Intermediate Extraordinary Mount. It was born with the strength of a Great Lord, and as it leveled up, its Growth Attributes would improve as well. Currently, the Level 100 Thunder Eagle only had the combat power of an ordinary Tier 3 monster, but once it reached Level 110, it would have the combat power of an intermediate Tier 3 monster. Once it reached Level 120, it would have the combat power of an advanced Tier 3 monster.
Aside from crazily grinding monsters, Shi Feng would also log off to rest and relax his mental state. He would also guide the others in their training.
"Guild Leader, War Blood and Starlink haven't been peaceful recently. Although they haven't targeted us, I've heard that they've decided to help Thirteen Thrones capture a Medium Fortress in the Gravity Mountain Range," Hei Zi said. "Our Northern Fortress already has 900,000 players. It's not impossible for it to have a player population of nearly 2,000,000 in the future. However, if Starlink and War Blood succeed, I'm afraid our Northern Fortress will suffer. Should we send some people to cause trouble?"
Currently, the Northern Fortress was raking in Credits and Ancient Gold every day. If another Medium Fortress appeared in the Gravity Mountain Range, the impact would be significant.
"That won't be necessary. Although we have a grudge with War Blood and Starlink, we don't have a grudge with Thirteen Thrones," Shifeng said, shaking his head. "Moreover, capturing a Medium Fortress isn't that easy. Just focus on managing our own fortress. I'm still in the middle of my Tier 3 Promotion Quest, so I can't head out right now. Once you have enough Ancient Gold, try to purchase the Land next to the World Tower."
If he hadn't been able to summon a Tier 4 Hero, he wouldn't have been able to capture the Northern Fortress. Moreover, the Land next to the World Tower was far more important than a small fortress.
"Alright, then. I'll purchase the Land as long as I have enough Ancient Gold."
Hei Zi was slightly disappointed, but he still looked forward to purchasing the Land next to the World Tower. After all, Shifeng had told him about the Land's usefulness. If he could purchase all of the Land, Dragonheart City's various powers would most likely fear Ling Yi.
After completing his training, Shifeng quickly returned to God's Domain and ventured deeper into the island's heart.
With the Thunder Eagle's help, the team's DPS increased significantly, allowing Shifeng to kill Void Bugs much faster. After three short days, the team had traveled from the Void Island's outermost region to the island's inner region.
After three days of frenzied grinding, the Thunder Eagle had risen from Level 100 to Level 103. Although Flying Mounts didn't require as much EXP to level up, the Thunder Eagle's leveling speed still astonished Shifeng. Aside from the Thunder Eagle's level, Shifeng had also obtained a total of 73 Mana Crystals. The bountiful harvest had already surpassed the Mana Stones they had used to enter the island.
A translucent magic barrier enveloped the island's inner region. The inner region and the outer region were two completely different worlds. The inner region was covered in dense forests, while the outer region was a wilderness.
Inside the forest, Shifeng spotted many graveyards of varying sizes. Some were as large as palaces, while others were as small as dirt mounds.
A large number of Undead wandered around these graveyards.
[Forgotten Undead] (Undead, Lord) Level 101 HP 40,000,000/40,000,000
… HP 40,000,000 These Undead weren't much of a threat. Shifeng could kill them with his own strength, but these Undead came in groups of several dozen. Shifeng had no choice but to flee.
Moreover, aside from these wandering Undead, there were also Heroic Spirits of varying strength guarding the graveyards.
Heroic Spirits were like NPCs. They might not be as powerful as Heroes, but every one of them was a bona fide Level 100, Tier 3 player. Killing Tier 3 players would be no different from killing Common monsters, not to mention Tier 2 players.
Even Tier 3 players have a hard time surviving in this place. Shifeng frowned when he saw these Heroic Spirits.
If he had to fight these Level 100, Tier 3 Heroic Spirits one-on-one, he'd have no choice but to flee. In addition, there were also Lord ranked Undead wandering the island. Finding a Saint's Legacy would be a pipe dream for a Tier 2 player.
Fortunately, he had Anna and Kite as his Personal Guards. Otherwise, he'd only be able to watch from the sidelines.
The instant Shi Feng stepped through the magic barrier, Kate and Anna, as well as the Tier 3 Demon and Thunder Eagle, vanished. It was as if they had never been there in the first place.
"A magic barrier?!"
Shifeng was stunned when he saw the translucent barrier.
There were many types of magic barriers in God's Domain. Although summoning magic arrays were rare, they could still be found in ancient ruins.
However, one of them had appeared in the inner region of God's Domain.
Even a Level 100, Tier 2 expert wouldn't be a match for a Lord ranked Undead in a one-on-one. Even a Domain Realm expert would have to flee if several dozen Undead ganged up on them, not to mention Level 100, Tier 3 Heroic Spirits.
It's no wonder why so few Peak Players managed to complete their Promotion Quests after reaching Level 100 in the past. Shifeng could not help his rueful sigh as he observed the wandering Undead.
There was no way he could take advantage of the Undead's distribution. Level 100, Tier 2 players wouldn't stand a chance against them unless they had a group of Level 100, Tier 2 experts.
"That's right! If I can't do it alone, I'll have to team up! "
Thinking up to this point, Shifeng had a flash of inspiration. He then left the inner region and summoned Anna and Kite to grind Void Bugs. He planned to collect 100 Mana Crystals and evolve the Abyssal Blade.
Among the weapons he currently wielded, the Abyssal Blade had the most Attack Power. The Nine Dragons Slash's 16 blades were even more powerful than the Twilight Blade. If he could upgrade the Abyssal Blade to Tier 3, the Abyssal Blade's Attack Power would undergo a qualitative transformation. At that time, he'd have a chance of defeating a large number of Undead.
Following which, Shifeng spent more than a day grinding Void Bugs and finally collected 100 Mana Crystals.
The instant Shifeng collected 100 Mana Crystals, the sound of a system notification reached his ears.
System: 100 Mana Crystals have been discovered for the Abyssal Blade's evolution. Do you wish to evolve the Abyssal Blade?
Shifeng took out the Abyssal Blade, which he had kept in his bag for quite some time, and took a deep breath.
