"You're Hei Yan?" Brut was stunned when he saw Shifeng.
Half-step Tier 5!
At this stage of the game, even the various superpowers only had a few Tier 4 players. A Half-step Tier 5 existence was simply unimaginable. Even the Outerworld's players and NPCs would struggle to deal with a Half-step Tier 5 existence.
"That's right, I am," Shifeng said, nodding.
"So, it's President Hei Yan. Everything that happened before was a misunderstanding. We have no intention of sealing off the Starlight Fortress," Brut said, smiling. "Since President Hei Yan isn't interested in working with us, the Blood Alliance won't insist. If there's nothing else, we'll take our leave."
After Brut finished speaking, he turned to lead his Blood Alliance members out of the Starlight Fortress. He had no intention of lingering in the fortress.
"A misunderstanding?" Shifeng laughed when he heard Brut's words. "Guild Leader Brut, you brought over a dozen Tier 4 NPCs to the Starlight Fortress to announce your intention to seal off the fortress, yet you're telling me this is a misunderstanding?"
"Since you're all here, you can all stay here!"
After saying so, Shifeng activated his Mana Domain. Instantly, liquid Mana spread out from his Mana Domain, enveloping a 4,000-yard radius around him.
After Shifeng activated his Mana Domain, Brut and the others' movements stiffened. They felt as if they had sunk into a swamp, and their bodies felt indescribably heavy. It was as if the world around them had frozen. Even the Level 160-plus Tier 4 NPCs present could barely resist the Mana Domain's suppression. They couldn't manipulate the ambient Mana at all.
When Fithalia and the others saw Shi Feng's sudden attack, they were similarly shocked.
They hadn't expected Shifeng to make a move without warning. The Blood Alliance had over a dozen Tier 4 NPCs. While they might not be a match for Shifeng in a one-on-one fight, if they worked together, they might even stand a chance against a Tier 5 existence.
"Not good! That's World Creation! "the leading Tier 4 NPC's expression turned indescribably grim as he looked at Shi Feng.
A Half-step Tier 5 expert was already frightening enough. Meanwhile, a Tier 4 player that had grasped World Creation could barely put up a fight against a Tier 5 player. Before such an expert, even a group of Tier 4 players would be useless.
The reason why Tier 4 classes were so powerful was that they could use their Mana to draw in the ambient Mana, greatly increasing the power of their Skills and Spells. However, under the effects of World Creation, Tier 4 classes would form their own independent world.
If he hadn't grasped World Creation as well, he wouldn't have been able to manipulate the ambient Mana. He would have had to rely on his own Mana to do battle.
World Creation was also a result of Shifeng's mastery of magic arrays reaching the Tier 5 standard after his Concentration had reached the Tier 5 standard. At the same time, his Mana Domain had also evolved into a small world. There was no need for a Shifeng to control his Mana Domain.
"Run!" Brutus hurriedly shouted.
"Do you think you can escape?" Shifeng unsheathed the Abyssal Blade and activated Darkness Bind.
After reaching Tier 4, Darkness Bind was much stronger than when it had been at Tier 3. In the next moment, pitch-black chains appeared out of thin air within a 500-yard radius, instantly sealing the movements of the Blood Alliance members. Even if they used Skills and Spells to remove the chains, their movements would still be greatly reduced.
The instant the Blood Alliance members' mobility was greatly reduced, Shifeng arrived before them and swung the Light of Two Worlds at them once more.
Tier 4 Legacy Skill, Formless Jian Ying!
Sword's Transmigration!
Thirteen sword lights flashed at the Blood Alliance members like stars. They were so fast that none of the Blood Alliance members could react to them. In the blink of an eye, the sword lights pierced through the hearts of Brutus and the others.
Among the Blood Alliance members present, only Brutus, who had broken through the 100% threshold of his Mana Body, reacted. Immediately, he used a Tier 4 Defensive Spell to block the sword lights. However, the Tier 4 Defensive Spell shattered as a result.
As for the Blood Alliance's other Tier 4 players, none of them were spared. Every one of them was struck by the sword lights. Even the Tier 4 Shield Warriors with high HP and Defense died on the spot.
Meanwhile, the Tier 4 NPCs fared relatively better. As their levels and equipment were far superior to players of the same level, they immediately activated their Tier 4 Defensive Spells and Skills, blocking all of the sword lights. However, these Tier 4 NPCs had also used one of their Lifesaving Skills and Spells. They wouldn't be able to use these Lifesaving Skills and Spells for a short time.
However, Shifeng clearly had no intention of giving the Blood Alliance members any time to catch their breaths. He activated Blade Domain and Sword's Transmigration once more.
Under Shifeng's control, the seven magic swords' power rivaled that of a Tier 5 player's attack. For a time, the dozen or so Tier 4 NPCs and Brutus had no choice but to work together to defend themselves. They had no choice but to use one Lifesaving Skill after another.
For a time, the sound of explosions and space shattering echoed throughout the Starlight Fortress.
In less than 30 seconds, Brut and the dozen or so Tier 4 NPCs of the Blood Alliance had turned to ash in midair. They were deader than dead.
"They died, just like that?"
"So, this is Hei Yan's strength?"
"Isn't this a little too strong?! Even a Tier 5 player can't compare to him!"
…
When the Starlight Fortress's members saw the Blood Alliance's annihilation, their jaws dropped. They couldn't accept this outcome for a long time.
If the dozen or so Tier 4 NPCs worked together with Brutus, who had already reached the Domain Realm, they might even be able to take down a Tier 5 Legendary monster or two. However, before Shifeng, these powerful Tier 4 NPCs were no different from children. They could only defend themselves. They couldn't even focus on attacking the Shifeng. They couldn't even heal the Tier 4 NPCs.
Even Fithalia, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, was flabbergasted, let alone the spectators.
She never thought that a Half-step Tier 5 player with World Creation could reach such a frightening level. With this, Shi Feng might even be able to put up a fight against a true Tier 5 player.
After killing the Blood Alliance's members, the Shifeng collected their loot without hesitation.
He had to admit that killing NPCs and players was no less rewarding than killing monsters of the same level. He had obtained more than 10 Epic Weapons and Equipment, all of which could be used until Level 150.
After collecting the loot, the Shifeng approached Fithalia and the others and sincerely thanked them, "I've troubled you with the Starlight Fortress during this time. If you hadn't maintained the fortress, it would've fallen into chaos by now."
Based on the Blood Alliance's actions, it was obvious that many powers on the western continent were eyeing the Starlight Fortress. The Divine Dragon alone wouldn't be enough to develop the Starlight Fortress. After all, those powers could easily suppress the Starlight Fortress's development by sealing off the map.
"President Hei Yan, you're too polite. However, Guild Leader Black, you've killed Brut and the others. You've also caused the Blood Alliance to lose over a dozen Tier 4 NPCs. I'm afraid the Blood Alliance won't let you off so easily," Fithalia said. "Divine Tribe has investigated the Blood Alliance thoroughly. Not only are there more than ten superpowers in the alliance, but there are also quite a few powerful NPC forces. Some of them even have Tier 5 experts. Hence, the Outerworld's forces are only barely able to suppress the Blood Alliance. They aren't able to defeat the Blood Alliance," Fithalia warned.
With the strength the Shifeng had displayed, they had no choice but to be wary of NPC forces. After all, NPC forces were no longer restricted by the system. As long as there were enough benefits, they could attack players at will.
If Tier 5 NPCs showed up, even if they couldn't do anything to the Starlight Fortress, they'd still be a nightmare for the fortress.
"Relax. Even if Tier 5 NPCs show up, they'll only return empty-handed," the Shifeng said, chuckling nonchalantly.
If this were before the trial, he indeed wouldn't have dared to oppose the Blood Alliance.
Now, however, he already had the strength to contend with Tier 5 NPCs. Not to mention, he also had the Silver Divine Dragon, an existence that could suppress ordinary Tier 5 NPCs of the same level.
"Return empty-handed?" Fithalia's eyes widened in shock when she heard the Shifeng's words. She was also curious about the Shifeng's confidence.
In the era before Gods, Tier 5 NPCs were already the apex existences in God's Domain. This was true even in the Outerworld. Every Tier 5 NPC could guarantee the safety of an entire region.
Fithalia found it hard to believe that the Shifeng could already contend with Tier 5 NPCs in such a short time. After all, Tier 5 NPCs were far stronger than Tier 5 players.
"May I know if you can gather these materials, Commander Fithalia?" Shifeng didn't bother explaining. Instead, he took out a list and handed it to Fithalia. "I'm willing to purchase these materials for double the Magic Crystal price."
Fithalia glanced at the materials on the list. Although these materials were all very valuable and rare, with Divine Tribe's foundations, collecting all of them shouldn't be a problem.
"Gathering these materials isn't difficult, but why are you spending so much money on them, President Hei Yan? With your Guild's foundations, you should be able to gather these materials as well. There's no need to double the price and pay in Magic Crystals," Fithalia said as she looked at Xiang Shifeng strangely.
Aside from the Magic Elven Stone, any superpower would have no trouble gathering all the materials on the list. If Shifeng returned to Ling Yi's Residence on the eastern continent, he'd likely be able to gather these materials in minutes. There was no need for him to waste money.
Not bothering to hide anything, Shifeng calmly said, "I don't have a choice. I urgently need these materials to connect the two continents. With the Starlight Fortress's stockpile, I won't be able to do so. Hence, I have no choice but to purchase them from your Guild."
Now that the Divine Dragon had become his companion, he could explore the continent at any time. With the Divine Dragon as his protection, he could do what he hadn't dared to do in the past.
"Connect the two continents?" Fithalia couldn't believe her ears when she heard Shifeng's words. "How is that possible?!"
The two continents were simply too far apart. This was also why the various superpowers had desperately fought over the various intercontinental teleportation arrays. Even so, there were still various restrictions on teleportation arrays. If someone could actually connect the two continents, it would be amazing!
In response to Fithalia's question, Shifeng simply smiled, not bothering to explain.
He definitely wouldn't have been able to accomplish such a feat in the past. However, with the Starlight Fortress's Summoning Tower and his status as a Grandmaster Magician, such an impossible feat wasn't so difficult.
