Antimagic Mountain Range, Deep Valley:
As the Antimagic Mountain Range's core region, not only was the Mana here incredibly intense, but players with less than 300 Fire Resistance would also die instantly. Many of the monsters in the area were around Level 140 Great Lords.
Due to the environment, even an ordinary Lord ranked monster could exhibit combat power close to that of a Great Lord, while a Great Lord ranked monster could exhibit combat power as strong as a Grand Lord. Hence, not to mention players, even powerful Tier 4 NPCs wouldn't dare come to this place.
However, at this moment, a black figure was traversing through the valley filled with lava and flames. Following behind this figure were over a hundred Great Lord ranked Lava Colossuses.
These Lava Colossuses were over a dozen meters tall, and when over a hundred of them ran together, the entire valley shook and attracted more Lord ranked monsters.
[Lava Colossus] (Elemental Creature, Great Lord) Level 140 HP 1,950,000,000/1,950,000,000
"It seems I can only lure so many nearby." Shifeng glanced at the Lava Colossuses and Lord ranked Magma Golems behind him as he flew through the air. He then began to chant an incantation.
Even after spending over a dozen minutes luring the Lava Colossuses, he had only lured a little over a hundred of them. As for the Magma Golems, they remained at around 3,000.
It was obvious that the Main God System didn't want Tier 4 players to grind these low-intelligence Elemental Creatures as much as they wanted. As a result, these Elemental Creatures instinctively refused to leave their habitat.
As the Lava Colossuses drew closer, Shifeng activated Flame Domain.
Flame Domain was an AOE offensive Spell. Although it couldn't compare to large-scale destruction Spells, it was still extraordinarily powerful. With Shifeng's Mana Domain and Mana buffs, as well as the environment's buffs, Flame Domain's power rivaled that of a Tier 4 large-scale destruction Spell.
Even though these Elemental Creatures were born with high Elemental Resistance, in the face of absolute destructive power, they still lost over 16,000,000 HP every second. With every second that passed, the Elemental Creatures' HP would continue to increase.
In just seven seconds, all of the Magma Golems had been crippled. It was obvious that they had suffered heavy injuries. Only the Magma Colossuses fared slightly better. They had only lost over 100,000,000 HP.
"If only we had a Great Wizard here. A single Tier 4 Curse would be enough to take care of all the Lord ranked monsters. We only need to focus on these Great Lords." Shifeng could not help his frustration as he looked at the heavily injured Magma Golems.
After grinding for six consecutive days, he had cleared out all the monsters in the outer and inner regions of the Antimagic Mountain Range. Now, only the monsters in the core region were left. Most of them were Lords that didn't provide much EXP. At the same time, they were also the most time-consuming monsters.
Fortunately, he still had some AOE Skills, especially the Seven Luminaries Ring's Flame Domain. Otherwise, he would've died from exhaustion just dealing with these Lords.
After using Flame Domain, Shifeng followed up with Lightning Edge.
The current Lightning Edge was completely different from the one Shifeng had used in the past. When he swung his greatsword, a river of energy swept across the sky, covering an area of over 200 yards.
With this one move, the river of energy devoured the Magma Golems. The power of this move was already on par with a Tier 4 Skill.
After Shifeng's continuous upgrades, Lightning Edge had already reached the peak of Tier 3. The difference in power between Lightning Edge's Tier 1 and Tier 2 Skills was like heaven and earth.
Of course, the EXP cost was also astronomical.
This was also why Shifeng had only reached 53% of Level 138 after grinding for six consecutive days. Otherwise, he would've long since reached Level 140.
However, Shifeng did not particularly care about this.
After reaching Tier 4, levels were no longer important. Reaching Level 150 or even Level 200 would be a piece of cake. After all, the EXP gained at Tier 4 was much faster than at Tier 3.
To Tier 4 players, a Great Lord was no different from a Common monster. The only difference was that the Great Lord had slightly higher HP and would take a longer time to kill.
The main reason why Tier 4 players leveled up so slowly was because they needed EXP to upgrade their Skills and Spells.
Hence, it was common to see Tier 4 players in God's Domain who were only around Level 130, while many Tier 3 players were around Level 140.
After reaching Tier 4, players could no longer rely solely on Epic Weapons and Equipment to improve their combat power. Only Fragmented Legendary items could help them improve their combat power.
If players wanted to significantly increase their combat power at Tier 4, they needed Tier 4 Skills and Spells.
Hence, after reaching Tier 4, smart players would think of ways to obtain Tier 4 Skill and Spell Books. This was especially true for Tier 4 magical class players. A Tier 4 Skill and Spell Book was even more important than several top-tier Epic Weapons and Equipment.
Of course, not every Tier 4 player had the opportunity to obtain a super-rare Tier 4 Skill and Spell Book. After all, not every Tier 4 player had the opportunity to obtain a super-rare Tier 4 Skill and Spell Book or use a large amount of EXP to upgrade their Skills to Tier 4. Most Tier 4 players relied on their Legacy Points to learn Tier 4 Legacy Skills. As a result, most Tier 4 players had less than three or four Tier 4 Skills and Spells.
This was also why most Tier 4 independent experts were so high-leveled. In contrast, the Tier 4 experts of the various large Guilds were very low-leveled. Finding Tier 4 Skill and Spell Books required a lot of manpower. It wasn't something that a single person could find easily.
Meanwhile, Lightning Edge was a Tier 4 Sure-kill Skill that Shifeng had gone to great lengths to obtain from the Titan Library. Naturally, he couldn't let it go to waste. Previously, as he had only been at Tier 3, the EXP he earned from the Skill was very slow. Hence, he had set it aside all this time. Now that he had reached Tier 4, he naturally had to train it.
After all, players could only enter the Titan Library three times in their lifetime. In other words, players could, at most, pick three Skill and Spell Books from the library. Among them, there was a high chance that players would obtain a Tier 4 Skill or Spell. After all, Tier 5 and Tier 6 Skill and Spell Books weren't items that ordinary players could obtain.
Even now, Shi Feng wasn't very confident that he could obtain a Tier 5 Skill and Spell Book. After all, the higher one's tier was in the Titan Library, the stricter the trial would be.
Back then, he had only managed to reach the Titan Library's central area because he had the advantage of being a lower tier. If he had tried the Titan Library's central area when he was still at Tier 3, he might not have been able to clear the trial, not to mention now that he was at Tier 4.
Hence, aside from his Tier 4 Legacy Skills, he wouldn't be able to learn any other Tier 4 Skills within a short time. This was the same even in the ancient God's Domain. Tier 4 Skill and Spell Books weren't that easy to obtain.
Following which, Shifeng spent over 20 minutes clearing out the remaining monsters. His level rose from 53% to 66%, but he had also cleared out a significant number of Lava Colossi in the core area. Now, he wouldn't be able to respawn any time soon.
Of course, Shi Feng's harvest in the core area was much better than in the outside world. He had obtained over 500 fire-type Magic Crystals and over 4,000 Magic Crystals. He had even obtained plenty of Epic materials. Only, he had spent a lot of time picking up the loot.
Shifeng couldn't be bothered to tidy up the loot. After all, it would take him a lot of time to do so. In order to grind for EXP as quickly as possible, he decided to leave the loot until he returned to the Titan Library.
After all, he had collected over 350,000 Magic Crystals and 43,000 fire-type Magic Crystals.
Shi Feng had to admit that grinding in high-level maps after getting promoted to Tier 4 was truly satisfying. This was especially true in the ancient God's Domain. He could grind anywhere he wanted in the ancient God's Domain, and he didn't have to worry about anyone stealing his kills. He could also rake in tons of resources.
After clearing out nearly half of the Lava Colossi in the core area, Shifeng finally reached Level 139.
Not even the ancient God's Domain's Tier 3 experts dared to dream of reaching this level.
With so much EXP, I should be able to upgrade Lightning Edge to Tier 4. Shifeng glanced at his Skill Window and chose to upgrade Lightning Edge to Tier 4.
Immediately, Shifeng's level fell from Level 139 to Level 136, devouring three levels' worth of EXP.
What a glutton. Fortunately, I reached Level 139 first. Otherwise, I wouldn't have reached the average level of Tier 4 players, Shifeng smiled bitterly as he looked at his level.
If he hadn't reached Level 139, he would've most likely devoured four levels' worth of EXP and fallen below Level 135.
Correspondingly, however, Shi Feng had also reaped a bountiful harvest.
After upgrading Lightning Edge to Tier 4, it had finally blossomed and could display its true power and effects.
[Lightning Edge] (Action-type) Cast time: 0.2 seconds Deals 1,200% physical damage and 1,500% lightning damage in a cone-shaped area in front of the user for 7 seconds. Initial range: 500 yards Cooldown: 10 minutes Tier 4 Advanced Skill. (When Skill Completion Rate reaches 120%, the user can exhibit power at the peak of Tier 4.)
"Amazing! As expected of a super-rare Tier 4 Skill I obtained from the Titan Library! " When Shi Feng read Lightning Edge's detailed introduction, he was astonished. "Even under normal conditions, Lightning Edge can display power at the Tier 4 Upper-rank standard. If I reach a 120% Skill Completion Rate, I can execute an attack at the Tier 4 Peak standard. Including its AOE, it can practically rival a Tier 4 Curse."
For a Swordsman like himself, Skills and Spells normally targeted a single target. He rarely had AOE Skills and Spells. However, Lightning Edge made up for this shortcoming. Although the Skill's Cooldown was somewhat long, it was more than enough to deal heavy damage to Mythic monsters and Mythic Bosses.
Just as Shifeng was about to upgrade his Skill Completion Rate, the sound of a message notification reached his ears.
The sender was none other than Solitary Nine, who had already left the Legacy Land. The message was simple: everyone had already left the Legacy Land.
"They're all pretty fast." Shifeng smiled faintly when he read Solitary Nine's message. "Now that I've dealt with the Skill Completion Rate, it's time to head back."
After saying so, Shifeng activated the Seven Luminaries Ring's Space Movement and teleported back to Meteorite City.
In the ancient God's Domain, players did not have Return Scrolls, so they had to rely on themselves to travel. It was very inconvenient. If not for the fact that Shi Feng was a Tier 4 player and had an all-rounder ring like the Seven Luminaries Ring, he would've died trying to get to Meteorite City.
However, perhaps because of this, the ancient God's Domain's players did not surpass the modern God's Domain's players by too much in levels.
Less than 20 minutes later, Shi Feng stood before Meteorite City's entrance. As usual, Meteorite City was bustling with activity, with people coming and going.
