"It's dead?"
"That was too close! For a moment, I thought we were going to get blasted to bits! "
"A Superior Mythic monster! I won't touch it again until I reach Tier 4! Its Strength is simply too frightening! It's not an existence that Tier 3 players like us can contend with! "
When everyone saw Todelya's body split in half, they collapsed to the ground and breathed out a sigh of relief. Words couldn't express the excitement and joy they felt after escaping death.
However, even more people were glad to be alive, and they laughed happily.
At this moment, Illusory Words and Unyielding Heart were also exhausted, and they no longer had the heart to pay attention to Todelya. They only wanted to sit down and rest.
However, before anyone could catch their breath, a sacred melody came from the sky, echoing throughout the valley. The melody was so beautiful that everyone present couldn't help but fall into a trance.
"As expected of the Ruined Mountain Range's First Kill. Even without Divine Blessing, it can still reach the level of a sacred melody." Shifeng, who was lying on the ground and looking at the sky, was slightly surprised. He never thought that the First Kill of a Regional Lord could reach such a level.
Originally, he had intended to use Divine Blessing to kill Todelya himself. However, the situation no longer allowed him to do so. Hence, he had no choice but to rely on Frobero to deal the final blow.
As the sacred melody echoed throughout the valley, the bodies of the surviving players lit up one after another. Even Shifeng, who had nearly reached Level 126, lit up twice as he leveled up from 78% of Level 125 to 4% of Level 127.
As for the others, they all leveled up by at least three times, with some even leveling up by four times. The bountiful EXP they received stupefied everyone present.
"A Superior Mythic Boss actually gives so much EXP?"
"The EXP gained is probably more than killing 30 Superior Mythic Bosses in the past. With this, we've saved at least half a month of grinding time."
"It's a pity for the others. If they hadn't died, they could've saved a lot of time."
Everyone sighed when they saw the abundant EXP Todelya provided. On the one hand, it saved them a lot of time. On the other hand, they also sighed at the fact that not only did they not receive any EXP, but they also lost a level. Even if Illusory Words and the other healers could revive them, they would still lose nearly half of their EXP.
Only the Shifeng was not surprised.
Putting aside the fact that after the major system upgrade, the Superior Legendary Regional Lords already gave a lot of EXP, and after the Holy Melody descended, the EXP reward would also be increased.
Not to mention, Todelya was already Level 128. Compared to the average Level 120 team, Todelya provided a lot of EXP.
Only, it would be nearly impossible to level up so quickly in the future. After all, the Ruined Mountain Range's Regional Lords weren't everywhere. Each region only had one Regional Lord, and the respawn time of the Ruined Mountain Range's Regional Lords was at least five natural days. Moreover, the Regional Lords weren't fixed.
Hence, even if some Tier 4 teams had information on Todelya, they wouldn't be able to use it. After all, another Superior Mythic monster would take over the area's Regional Lord once it respawned.
In a forbidden land like the Ruined Mountain Range, it was extremely difficult to encounter the same Regional Lord. Every Regional Lord was a new Boss, and it was impossible for players to target them. They could only rely on their strength or tools to defeat the Regional Lords head-on.
"Revive everyone you can. Lifeless, patrol the area and prevent other monsters from ambushing us," the Shifeng commanded as he got to his feet.
Although the surrounding monsters had fled due to Frobero's presence, and there shouldn't be any more monster attacks, Shi Feng still had to be careful just in case. After all, be it a forbidden land for life or for humans, even with a bodyguard like Frobero, Shi Feng could still lose his life if he wasn't careful.
"Leave it to me."
Lifeless Thorn nodded. He then led Cleansing Whistle and the others to stand guard around the Ruined Mountain Range.
As for Yan Ya, Illusory Words, and the other healers, they ran to revive the team members the Soul Devourer had killed.
Although these players had died due to their Concentration being sucked dry, their souls hadn't been damaged. Hence, they could still be revived. Only, they would remain in a Weakened state for several hours, and they wouldn't be able to participate in battle immediately.
While everyone busied themselves, the Shifeng slowly approached Todelya's corpse and waited for the loot to appear.
Neither Unyielding Soul nor Crimson Emperor's members had any interest in Todelya's loot.
This wasn't because they weren't interested in Todelya's loot. Rather, the team was led by the Shifeng. Moreover, the team had previously stated that all loot during the operation would belong to the Shifeng. This was also the basis for the cooperation between the three Guilds.
Moreover, Unyielding Soul and Crimson Emperor's peak experts were too embarrassed to watch the battle.
From the beginning of the battle to the end, they had only provided support. They hadn't been able to contribute much. In fact, if not for the Shifeng's desperate attack, they wouldn't have survived. Not to mention, they had leveled up to Level 4 and gained a 15-day lead over the outside world's peak experts.
With this harvest alone, their trip to the Ruined Mountain Range had not been a waste. Not to mention, they had also witnessed the true Ruined Mountain Range. They now knew just how dangerous the Ruined Mountain Range was. With this, their two Guilds would have a massive advantage when exploring the Ruined Mountain Range.
Hopefully, the loot won't be too shabby. Even one or two Tier 4 Skill and Spell Books or a Legacy Guidance Fragment would be enough, the Shifeng silently prayed as he looked at the gradually dispersing dark clouds in the sky.
Compared to the outside world, the Ruined Mountain Range was a barren land. It wasn't filled with treasures and could earn a fortune by killing a few random monsters.
On the contrary, whether it was a forbidden land for humans or a forbidden land for life, the bountiful resources the outside world could imagine did not exist.
The reason why players and NPCs said that a forbidden land for humans or a forbidden land for life was not because of material resources, but because of Legacies.
In God's Domain, Tier 3 Legacies were monopolized by the various kingdoms and empires. However, Tier 4 Legacies were extremely rare even in the various kingdoms and empires. Some were even extinct. However, a considerable number of Legacies at Tier 4 and above were preserved in forbidden lands for humans and forbidden lands for life. Hence, the Legacies in forbidden lands for humans and forbidden lands for life were far richer than in the outside world.
Meanwhile, after players reached Tier 4, they had three methods to improve themselves.
The first method was the simplest and most direct. It was to upgrade weapons and equipment. Even in the various kingdoms and empires, players could easily obtain these items.
The second method was far more difficult. It was practically impossible to find Tier 4 Skill and Spell Books in the various kingdoms and empires. After players reached Tier 4, aside from using their Free Legacy Points to learn Tier 4 Skills and Spells, they couldn't find Tier 4 Skill and Spell Books in the various kingdoms and empires. They could only be found in forbidden lands for humans and forbidden lands for life. Moreover, the drop-rate was extremely low.
Moreover, the drop-rate for Tier 4 Skill and Spell Books was Mythic rank at the very least.
Tier 4 Skills and Spells were crucial in determining a Tier 4 player's strength. Normally, in a battle between Tier 4 players, a single Tier 4 Skill or Spell was enough to determine the outcome of the battle. This was because Tier 4 Skills and Spells were far stronger than Tier 3 Skills and Spells. Some Tier 4 Skills and Spells could even instant-kill players of the same tier.
Hence, after reaching Tier 4, collecting Tier 4 Skill and Spell Books would become the key to improving one's strength. The improvement one could gain from collecting Tier 4 Skill and Spell Books was on par with obtaining a Fragmented Legendary item. While Fragmented Legendary items had a chance of dropping upon death, Skill and Spell Books had no chance of dropping.
The third method was also the most difficult. It was to obtain Tier 4 and above Legacy Guides.
After players reached Tier 4, their levels would no longer be the most important factor. After all, even after players reached Level 150 and reached the Tier 5 promotion standard, they still couldn't get promoted.
The promotion to Tier 5 was far more difficult than the promotion to Tier 4.
Reaching Tier 4 required players to search for Tier 4 Legacy Lands and find a way to learn Tier 4 Legacy Skills and Spells within a set time.
However, once players reached Tier 5, they would have nothing.
That's right. Players wouldn't have to complete any troublesome Promotion Quests or visit any troublesome places.
Reaching Tier 5 was very simple. All players needed to do was raise their Concentration to the Tier 5 standard. In addition, players needed to grasp the circulation of Mana and reconstruct their Mana Body. This would allow their Mana Body to undergo a qualitative transformation.
This was the so-called Saint Ascension!
Players would no longer be ordinary humans. They would reach the level of transcendence in terms of Life Rating.
This was also the reason why very few NPCs and players in God's Domain had managed to reach Tier 5. Every one of them was a giant among men.
Breaking through the limits of one's Mana Body while still at Tier 3 could already be considered the first step toward reconstructing one's Mana Body. Although this was only an insignificant step, it would be of great help to players who reconstructed their Mana Bodies after reaching Tier 4.
After all, going from 0 to 1 was the most difficult step. Meanwhile, Violet Cloud had already taken the first step on the path to reaching Tier 5.
Meanwhile, Legacy Guides could help players understand Mana and the operating principles of Mana. This was because the Legacy Guides recorded the ancient powerhouses' understanding of Mana and their usage of Mana. They even recorded some of their experiences and methods of constructing a Mana Body.
This was also why Shi Feng had chosen the Crimson-eyed Sword Saint's Legacy Guide without hesitation.
At Tier 3, it was already extremely difficult for players to construct a pre-set Mana Body. If players wished to get promoted to Tier 5, they would have to construct a Mana Body that was ten times stronger than their current one. The difficulty of doing so was unimaginable.
Hence, Legacy Guides were extremely important. Only by constantly learning and understanding could players create a Mana Body on par with Tier 5 creatures. Otherwise, they would remain stuck at Tier 4 for the rest of their lives.
Meanwhile, obtaining a Legacy Guide was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. The rarity of a Legacy Guide Fragment was no less than that of a Fragmented Legendary item. Generally, only Regional Lords and above in forbidden lands had a slightly higher drop-rate. Most of the time, they didn't even have a drop-rate.
This was also why very few independent players had reached Tier 5.
When facing Superior Mythic monsters of the same level or even lower level, a single Tier 4 expert would have no choice but to flee. Normally, they would have to team up with multiple Tier 4 players. Moreover, even if they succeeded in killing a Superior Mythic monster, they might not necessarily obtain a Legacy Guide Fragment.
And even if they did obtain a Legacy Guide Fragment, who would they split it among?
In addition, the various superpowers and large Guilds would compete madly over these Bosses. It was easy to imagine how difficult it would be for independent players to get promoted to Tier 5.
If one didn't have a sufficiently powerful backer, unless one was a peerless genius and a favored child of the heavens, it would be impossible to get promoted to Tier 5.
While Shifeng looked up at the sky with exhausted expressions and inwardly prayed, several dozen dazzling, golden items fell from the sky. The Mana within a radius of several hundred yards involuntarily gathered toward these items.
When Shifeng saw a strange stone sculpture among these items, his eyes glowed with excitement. He couldn't help but rub his eyes, thinking that his eyes were playing tricks on him.
"A stone sculpture of an ancient beast?! Did this monster devour an Ancient God's treasury?! "
