Bottomless Abyss, Broken Cave:
The gravity here is already very close to where the Infant Black Dragons appeared last time. If I continue digging, those Infant Black Dragons will most likely sense my life aura. After killing one of the Outer Path Guardians, Shi Feng shifted his gaze to the bottomless abyss beyond the stone wall.
After nine days of hard work, he had finally reached the place where he would encounter the Infant Black Dragons for the first time.
Although the Infant Black Dragons were only Tier 3 Great Lords, they were an apex race among the Dragon race. It was practically impossible for a single Tier 3 player to go up against one, not to mention three Infant Black Dragons.
Currently, the best way to complete his Tier 4 Promotion Quest was to kill the Outer Path Guardians and steadily raise his Legacy Power to 85% before activating his Tier 4 Legacy.
However, as he continued to dig into the stone walls, the number of Outer Path Guardians he encountered decreased. Just now, he had spent nearly an hour digging into the stone walls before he finally encountered an Outer Path Guardian.
He could foresee that if he tried to use the Outer Path Guardian again, the three Infant Black Dragons in the abyss would most likely notice him and attack him together.
Sure enough, the Main God System won't allow players to complete their Promotion Quests so easily. In the end, I still have to obtain one of the Legacy Fragments? Shifeng could not help but sigh as he looked at his Legacy Value.
With his current standards, as long as he activated his Berserk Skill, he should be able to kill the three Outer Path Guardians quickly. However, he was still short of three Outer Path Guardians to reach the minimum requirement of 85% Completion Rate. Moreover, his chances of finding three Outer Path Guardians within his limited Berserk Skill's duration were extremely low.
After all, he had spent nearly an hour digging into the stone walls before he encountered a single Outer Path Guardian. Even if the Infant Black Dragons discovered him, he would, at most, dig out one Outer Path Guardian. No matter how he looked at it, it was impossible for him to fight the remaining two Outer Path Guardians while digging into the stone walls.
His only option was to obtain one of the Legacy Fragments below.
Legacy Fragments contained varying amounts of Legacy Power. The smallest might only contain a little over ten points, while the largest could contain as much as thirty to forty points. With his current Legacy Value, he only needed one Legacy Fragment to reach the 85% threshold and activate his own Tier 4 Legacy.
In God's Domain, although activating a Tier 4 Legacy at the lowest standard would affect a player's chances of completing their Promotion Quest, it wasn't absolute.
This was because Legacy Power could only activate one's Tier 4 Legacy. The more Legacy Power one possessed, the more Legacies one could activate. However, the amount of Tier 4 Legacies one could obtain depended on oneself. If one obtained nothing from Legacy Power, they would fail their Tier 4 Promotion Quest.
In the past, too many Tier 3 experts had failed to complete their Tier 4 Promotion Quests precisely because they failed to obtain anything from their Tier 4 Legacies. It wasn't because they failed to collect the minimum required Legacy Power that prevented them from completing their Promotion Quests.
This was also the reason why the more powerful a Legacy was, the harder it was to change one's class.
The more powerful a Legacy was, the more difficult it would be to learn it. For example, the Legacies of the Giant race and the Elven race were even more difficult to understand. Hence, the difficulty of the Class Promotion Quest was also much higher. Meanwhile, when players obtained powerful weapons and equipment, they could only obtain more Legacy Power and unlock more Legacies for players to learn.
In reality, an 85% Legacy activation rate was more than enough. One didn't have to reach 100% to complete their Tier 4 Promotion Quests.
However, obtaining the Legacy Fragments below wasn't an easy task, either. After all, he had to face three Infant Black Dragons. With his Berserk Skill's limited duration, there was a limit to what he could do. This was especially true when it came to obtaining Legacy Fragments.
If a player who didn't know anything about Legacy Fragments stood in his place right now, this point alone would've most likely killed them.
After all, obtaining a Legacy Fragment didn't guarantee one's Legacy Power. One still needed a considerable amount of time to absorb the Legacy Power within. If one moved too far away from a Legacy Fragment or stopped absorbing the Legacy Power, the Legacy Fragment would automatically dissipate. Meanwhile, absorbing Legacy Power from a Legacy Fragment would take anywhere from ten to twenty minutes. Normally, one would need to be in a relatively safe environment to absorb the Legacy Power.
Obviously, that wasn't an option right now. The only thing he could do was forcefully absorb the Legacy Power. However, his Berserk Skill couldn't last that long.
No, that's not right. There's still a chance. If I can last a certain amount of time in my normal state, I might be able to obtain a Legacy Power. After giving the matter some thought, Shifeng decided to take the risk. After all, he was no longer the same person he had been when he first entered the Abyss.
He had grasped a simplified version of Holy Devour. Although the simplified version wasn't as powerful as the true Holy Devour, its concentrated power was far superior to Lightshadow's. He might even be able to contend with the Infant Black Dragons.
Following which, Shifeng took a deep breath and retrieved the Ring of Gospel from his bag. He then activated Miniature World and Ring of Brilliance, not intending to hold anything back.
Now that he had reached this stage of his Promotion Quest, he had to face the three Infant Black Dragons no matter what. Naturally, there was no need for him to hold back.
After activating Miniature World and Ring of Brilliance, the ambient Mana increased slightly. Meanwhile, Shifeng's Basic Attributes increased by 5%. Although the effects weren't as good as when he used them in the outside world, every bit of improvement was still worth it.
After dealing with the Ring of Gospel, Shifeng jumped into the bottomless abyss.
Immediately, Shifeng plummeted into the abyss like a meteor. The intense wind pressure even affected Shifeng's movements.
After a few short seconds, a Dragon's roar reached his ears. As expected, the three Infant Black Dragons flew out of the abyss and charged at Xiang Shifeng.
Just as one of the Infant Black Dragons appeared before Shifeng, the Dragon swiped its gigantic claw at Xiang Shifeng. The Dragon's claw was so powerful that it wasn't affected by Miniature World in the slightest. The Dragon's claw even tore a hole in space as it flew towards Xiang Shifeng.
"This attack will determine whether I succeed or not!"
Shifeng had long since prepared himself for the incoming Dragon's claw. He then raised the Abyssal Blade to meet the attack.
In the next moment, the Abyssal Blade, which burned with crimson flames, struck the Dragon's claw.
Boom!
The sound of metal clashing echoed throughout the entire abyss. Sparks flew everywhere, illuminating the sky. In the next moment, the Dragon's claw was knocked off its original attack trajectory and landed on the cliff face, chipping away a large chunk of the cliff face. On the other hand, Shifeng remained unscathed. Only, the impact of the collision had accelerated his descent.
Good! There's a chance! Shifeng was ecstatic when he saw the Infant Black Dragons being pushed back slightly.
Previously, he had been most worried that he wouldn't be able to block one of the Infant Black Dragons' attacks. After all, he hadn't activated Heavenly Dragon's Power yet. Even if he had the Divine Dragon's Sigh to suppress the Infant Black Dragons, he wouldn't be able to block one of the attacks.
Fortunately, the simplified version of Holy Devour was already powerful enough. Now that he could contend with the Infant Black Dragons in his normal state, what he needed to do next would be much easier.
Following which, Shifeng blocked the three Infant Black Dragons' attacks as he plummeted to the abyss.
Seeing that they were about to reach the Legacy Fragment, Shifeng activated Gale Domain and used Wind Rider to fly towards the fragment.
"Break!"
When Shifeng saw the Legacy Fragment on the cliff face, he activated Power of Darkness, doubling all of his Basic Attributes. He then swung his greatsword at the cliff face.
Holy Devour!
Suddenly, a raging inferno burned a hole with a 30-yard radius into the cliff face. At the same time, a broken stone statue that was as tall as a grown man fell into the hole, radiating a faint glow and frightening Divine Might.
System: Legacy Fragment detected. Do you wish to absorb the fragment's Legacy Power?
"Absorb!" Shifeng said without hesitation.
As soon as Shifeng finished speaking, five-colored divine runes appeared on the broken stone statue and flowed into Shifeng's body.
"Crap! Just how much Legacy Power is there?! "Shifeng was stunned when he saw the channeling bar.
The channeling time was 33 minutes. This was longer than any channeling time he knew of. It was even longer than the total channeling time of all of his Berserk Skills.
However, the channeling process had already begun. If he gave up halfway, all of his efforts would go to waste.
Meanwhile, the three Infant Black Dragons seemed to have noticed Shifeng's weakness as well, and they promptly used Dragon Breath on him.
"Damn it!"
Shifeng's expression darkened when he saw the three Dragon Breaths sealing off the entire cave. He then instinctively activated the Seven Luminaries Ring and activated Absolute Defense, blocking the three Dragon Breaths.
After the three Dragon Breaths ended, the space in the cavern expanded significantly, giving Shi Feng plenty of room to move and dodge the incoming attacks.
Time passed quickly as Shifeng desperately defended himself against the three Infant Black Dragons' attacks.
Ten minutes … Fifteen minutes … Twenty minutes …
By the 30th minute, Shifeng's final Berserk Skill, Disintegration Power, had finally dissipated. Meanwhile, the cliff face where the Legacy Fragment had been located had been reduced to the size of half a football field.
Without the support of a Berserk Skill, Shifeng could only rely on a simplified version of Holy Devour to block the three Infant Black Dragons' attacks.
Although the simplified version of Holy Devour didn't consume as much Concentration as the true version of Holy Devour, it could still be used too many times.
Previously, after his Berserk Skill ended, he hadn't used it immediately. Instead, he had waited for some time in his normal state before activating his Berserk Skill.
Even so, facing the three Infant Black Dragons' frenzied attacks, he had used up his final Berserk Skill by the 30th minute. Now, he could only rely on his normal state to tank the attacks.
"Human, you're dead! Since you dare set foot in the Dark Dragon's forbidden land, don't even think about leaving alive! You don't have much Concentration or Stamina left to persevere, but we Dragons can keep fighting! "
The leading Infant Black Dragon suddenly spoke in an ancient language when it saw Shifeng's pale complexion. Although Shi Feng couldn't understand the language, his brain understood the meaning behind it.
As soon as the leading Infant Black Dragon finished speaking, the other two Infant Black Dragons began to accelerate their attacks, not giving Shifeng any time to catch his breath.
One second … Two seconds … Three seconds …
As time passed, the three Infant Black Dragons' attacks grew faster. Shifeng had no choice but to use all sorts of Lifesaving Skills.
Darkness Domain!
Thunder God's Descent!
Divine Steps!
Void Shield!
As Shifeng used one Skill after another, the number of trump cards he had decreased. At the same time, his complexion grew paler. The stabbing pain in his head made Shifeng feel as if his body was no longer his own.
"Is this it?"
Shifeng could feel his Concentration surpassing his limits. At this moment, he was losing control of his body. He couldn't even use the simplified version of Holy Devour anymore. He could only rely on his movement technique to dodge the Infant Black Dragons' attacks. Meanwhile, Void Shield's duration was almost over. Once Void Shield's duration ended, the three Infant Black Dragons would kill him.
Just as Void Shield's duration was about to end, the sound of a system notification entered Shifeng's ears.
