Although the ancient secret land was only a secret land, it was several times larger than a large-scale map in the outside world. It was like a miniature world.
Even though Shifeng and the others were Tier 3 players, they still had to travel for over half a day before arriving at a majestic city in the middle of a canyon.
Layer after layer of magic arrays enveloped the entire city. Shi Feng could faintly see various Magic Towers and buildings several hundred meters tall standing behind the magic barriers. There were even floating buildings that couldn't be found in kingdoms or empires. The city was far more prosperous than any kingdom's capital or empire's imperial capital.
Even though this was his first time seeing the majestic Primordial City, Shi Feng could not help but be shocked.
Despite standing over a thousand yards away from the ancient city, they could still feel a frightening pressure weighing down on them, making their bodies feel indescribably heavy. If a Tier 2 player tried to approach the ancient city, they wouldn't even be able to get close to it.
"Be careful of the statues inside the city walls. Although they are protected by magic arrays, it's best not to look at them. If you stare at them for too long, you'll easily fall into a Weakened state," Crimson Star warned. "If you fall into a Weakened state, you'll need four or five days to recover from it. At that time, you won't even have enough time to return to the city, let alone raid the trial."
"It can weaken one's Spirit?"
Shifeng couldn't help but look at the statues wrapped in magic arrays. Immediately, he felt a frightening mental pressure invade his mind, and an ancient figure appeared in his mind, making it difficult for him to look at it directly.
Shifeng's heart palpitated when he sensed the mental pressure. However, he was still able to resist it with his mind.
"A Tier 4 God's Will?" Shifeng was slightly surprised when he sensed the mental pressure coming from the statues. "It's no wonder so many Tier 4 experts joined Violet Sword after obtaining the ancient secret land in the past."
In God's Domain, Ancient Gods had long since disappeared. Even Demigods were hard to find. However, in some dangerous places in God's Domain, Ancient Gods had left behind their Inheritance Lands. And in those Inheritance Lands, Ancient Gods had left behind God's Will.
On the surface, these Divine Wills gave off a powerful mental pressure, preventing others from casually approaching or even looking at them. However, there was a huge benefit to these Divine Wills.
That was to temper the spirit!
In God's Domain, players' Stamina and Concentration were both Hidden Attributes. There was no clear way to improve the Concentration Attribute. Normally, players could only improve the Concentration Attribute when they were promoted.
Originally, not many players cared about Concentration. However, as more and more players learned combat techniques, especially peak experts, the importance of Concentration became clear to everyone.
Not only could players use more combat techniques with a stronger Concentration, but they would also consume less Concentration when using the same combat technique.
Most importantly, if one's mind wasn't strong enough, they wouldn't be able to learn and use those powerful battle skills.
Unfortunately, there was no way to improve a player's Concentration in God's Domain. Players could only obediently increase their brain activity or increase their tier.
However, as more and more experts began to come into contact with ancient lands and Divine Will, they discovered a shocking fact. Divine Will could be used to increase a player's maximum Concentration. Although the effects were very weak, they could accumulate over time and accumulate to a certain extent.
Only, Divine Will wasn't easy to find. Moreover, Divine Will couldn't provide an unlimited boost to a player's Concentration. Depending on the strength of the Divine Will, the upper limit of a player's Concentration would vary. If a player's Concentration was very high, some Divine Will might even be useless to them.
The stone statues in the Antiquity City contained Divine Will, and they could temper a player's Concentration to the Tier 4 standard. Hence, they were known as Tier 4 Divine Will.
Meanwhile, if a player's Concentration reached Tier 4, it would be of significant help to them during their Tier 4 Promotion Quest.
This was because a strong Concentration could better control a player's body, Strength, Mana, and other aspects, allowing a player to display even more of their potential. It was like a college student doing elementary school homework.
However, due to the magic array enveloping the statues, the Willpower they transmitted to Shi Feng was severely weakened. While it might be somewhat effective against ordinary Tier 3 players, it was practically useless against peak Tier 3 experts. At most, it would only exhaust their Concentration.
"President Hei Yan, the entrance to the trial land is up ahead," Crimson Moon said as she pointed at a gigantic door before her. "As we are challenging the Hero Trial, we only have one chance. If we all die inside, we won't be able to enter the Trial. However, as long as there are still people inside, even if they die, they can still enter the Trial after reviving. Only, the revival time here is very long, taking up to one full day. Please be careful." "That's right.
If this were a normal trial, it wouldn't be a big deal. However, the Hero Trial only had one chance. If players died continuously inside the trial, the alchemy array would only last for seven days at most. Hence, one of the keys to raiding the Hero Trial was to control players' deaths. Otherwise, they'd have to waste an entire day's time.
This was also why they had tried their best to avoid the Region Chiefs.
"I understand," the Shifeng said, nodding.
Seeing that the Shifeng had understood her intentions, Crimson Star did not say anything else. After all, at the Shifeng's standard, they only needed to be reminded to understand many things. Moreover, they'd have a thorough understanding of many things.
Following which, Crimson Star, Wildfighter, and the others approached a Teleportation Gate that was over a dozen meters tall. They then took out a pitch-black crystal from their bags and began chanting an incantation at the Teleportation Gate.
As the dozen or so players chanted the incantation together, the divine runes on the Teleportation Gate gradually lit up. The Mana around the Teleportation Gate also began to surge toward the gate.
While Crimson Star and the others were activating the Hero Trial, Sandstorm and the others were quietly observing the situation from a crater located 500 yards away from Zero Wing.
"The Hero Trial?!" The female Tier 3 Guardian Knight exclaimed in surprise when she saw the Teleportation Gate's divine runes. "Violet Sword and the others are actually planning to raid the Hero Trial? They only have one chance to clear the Hero Trial. Have they lost their minds?"
She had personally experienced the City of Antiquity's trial. Of course, she knew about the Hero Trial. However, the Elite Trial was simply inhumane. If not for the many Advanced Battle Arrays they possessed, they most likely wouldn't have survived until they reached the Final Trial's Boss.
As for the even more difficult Hero Trial, they didn't even dare think about it.
"The Hero Trial?" Sandstorm smiled when he saw Crimson Star and the others operating the Teleportation Gate. "Good! This is great! Although I don't know what Violet Sword and Zero Wing's members are thinking, to actually dare to challenge the Hero Trial, this is a great opportunity for us. Originally, I was worried about Crimson Star and Wildfighter's group, but the Teleportation Gate's activation cannot be interrupted midway. Otherwise, the trial will become invalid. This is the perfect opportunity for us to take action. "
"However, that Hei Yan won't be easy to deal with," the female Tier 3 Guardian Knight said worriedly. Glancing at the Shifeng standing beside the Teleportation Gate, she said, "If we take him on head-on, I'm afraid we won't be able to come out on top."
"Relax. The vice commander has already prepared a trump card for this operation," Sandstorm said, smiling. He then took out one sparkling gem after another from his bag and said, "This is a Tier 3 Magic Devouring Gem. If we embed it on a Level 100 Dark-Gold Weapon, we'll sacrifice the weapon and the Magic Devouring Gem to gain Tier 4 combat power for a short time. The vice commander obtained this gem from the Demon God's Palace and gave me five as a precaution. As long as each of the five team leaders has one, we'll have five Tier 4 combatants. Including the Advanced Battle Array's Defense and HP, we'll only need three people to pin down that Hei Yan. The remaining two can lead the rest of the team and slaughter Violet Sword and Ling Yi's other members, ruining their plans!"
"Why didn't you take out such a treasure earlier?" Crimson Star's eyes glowed when she saw the Magic Devouring Gem.
The vice commander had given them the task of finding a way to foil Violet Sword's plans. At the same time, they had to kill the Shifeng if they could. Although they couldn't kill the Shifeng right now, they could use the Magic Devouring Gem to foil Violet Sword's plans. After all, players had to wait a full day before they could resurrect in the ancient secret land. If they could unlock the Teleportation Gate for Crimson Star and the others, they could even ruin Violet Sword's plans to raid the Hero Trial.
"Alright, one for each of you," Sandstorm said as he distributed the Magic Devouring Gem. Sandstorm then distributed the Tier 3 Magic Devouring Gemstones to the other four team leaders. He then sneered at the distant Shi Feng and said, "It's about time we teach Black Flame just how foolish it is to provoke Mythology!"
