Fire Dragon Empire, Million Forest City:
Currently, over 50 million expert players had gathered in Million Forest City, the largest city in the southern region. Among them, even the weakest player was a Level 100-plus, Tier 3 player, while the number of Tier 4 experts had exceeded 10,000.
However, an indescribably solemn atmosphere enveloped Million Forest City, causing every player in the city to feel nervous.
Million Forest City was the southern region's greatest barrier. If the Outerworld's NPC army broke through the barrier, the NPC army would charge straight for Flame Dragon City.
Meanwhile, the upper echelons of God's Domain's various major powers had gathered atop Million Forest City's walls, their complexions ashen as they quietly watched the Outerworld's NPC army hiding in the distant forest.
"These Outerworld NPCs are insane. They actually mobilized over one-third of their forces just to capture Million Forest City. Are they planning to fight to the death?" Sixteenth Cloud, Shining Tiger's Second Vice Guild Leader and a Tier 5 player, could not help but frown as she watched the Outerworld's NPC army through a Magic Mirror.
Compared to God's Domain's players and NPCs, the Outerworld's NPCs had an overwhelming number of Tier 4 experts. Normally, the Outerworld's NPCs and players should've split their forces to attack various locations.
After all, God's Domain's players' greatest advantage was their fast resurrection speed. They could even resurrect in the cities and fortresses where the battle was taking place. If they could gather their experts and fight the Outerworld's NPC army, nothing could be better for them.
After all, it would be a massive waste of combat power to have the few experts they had to guard against the Outerworld's ambushes at all times.
"Maybe they don't think their chances of victory are high, so they're trying to gather their forces and fight to the death. After all, God's Domain's various kingdoms and empires are constantly sending reinforcements to the Fire Dragon Empire. The longer the battle drags on, the better it will be for us. It's not impossible that they don't want to drag this out," Unyielding Soul's Unyielding Heart, who was also a Tier 5 player, said, smiling.
During the Fire Dragon Empire's defensive and defensive battles, Unyielding Soul's players had indeed been at a disadvantage initially. However, as time passed, the armies of other kingdoms and empires continued to arrive, and the strength of Unyielding Soul's players continued to grow.
Over a hundred Tier 5 players had been born in the past month alone!
Shi Feng had to admit that the War of Worlds was incredibly helpful to players. This was especially true during the Fire Dragon Empire's war. Although the Outerworld NPC army scattered across the eastern continent had yet to fully assemble, the war in the Fire Dragon Empire had never stopped.
After continuously fighting the Outerworld's Tier 4 NPCs and Tier 4 experts and experiencing the feeling of being on the brink of death, these experts' control over Mana and understanding of Mana had improved significantly.
In the past, it was already difficult to find a Tier 4 expert to spar with, not to mention peak experts, apex experts, or even monstrous experts that were even stronger than that.
Compared to fighting Superior Mythic monsters and raiding the various Hell Mode Team Dungeons, Shi Feng's Mana techniques were far more effective.
In response, Unyielding Heart even hoped that this war would last a little longer.
"I hope I'm just overthinking things," Sixteenth Cloud said, nodding.
She loved to gamble with the main force of her army. After all, there were already 80 Tier 5 experts gathered in Million Forest City. Not to mention, there were also the 100 Flame Beast Puppets and eight Blue Thunder Flying Ships that Ling Yi had crafted. These were all bona fide Tier 5 combatants.
Moreover, these Tier 5 NPCs were not included. If the Tier 5 NPCs were included, Million Forest City would have close to 300 Tier 5 combatants.
As for the Tier 5 combatants on the other side, according to her investigations, there were only 400 Tier 5 combatants, including players. The difference wasn't particularly large. Even if they traded two Tier 5 combatants for one, they would still emerge victorious. After all, they could resurrect in the Shrine and join the battle immediately.
In reality, Sixteenth Cloud and Unyielding Heart weren't the only Tier 5 experts with such thoughts. The various major powers' Tier 5 experts were also very confident about this war.
As long as they won this war, the Outerworld's NPC army wouldn't be able to cause any trouble in the future.
Meanwhile, as the various major powers' experts arrived in Million Forest City one after another, and the number of players gathered in Million Forest City exceeded 70 million, a massive island suddenly appeared above the city, instantly causing an uproar among the city's players and NPCs.
"Crap! Ling Yi! That's Ling Yi's Sky Fortress! "
"Hasn't Ling Yi's Sky Fortress been guarding the Secret Covenant Tower all this time?"
"No! This isn't the Sky Fortress in the Secret Covenant Tower. I've seen that Sky Fortress before. That fortress has a two-layered defensive barrier, but this one has a three-layered defensive barrier. This should be a new Sky Fortress built by Zero Wing. "
"Amazing! As expected of God's Domain's number one Guild! With this, the Outerworld's NPCs and players are doomed! "
Everyone in God's Domain knew about the Sky Fortress. After all, it was thanks to the Sky Fortress that Ling Yi had established his position in God's Domain.
Now that there was a Sky Fortress defending Million Forest City, why wouldn't everyone be excited?
While Million Forest City's players were celebrating, over a dozen figures flew down from the Sky Fortress, causing the city's players to celebrate. Even the Tier 5 commanders and Tier 5 NPCs stationed in Million Forest City took the initiative to greet these figures.
"Crap! Gentle Snow, Shiuse Qiangwei, Fire Dance, Violet Cloud, Yan Tianxing, Yi Luofei, Silent Blade, Alluring Summer, Cold Shadow, Crimson Mask, Ji Luorong, Lifeless Thorn, Blue Frost, Zhao Yueru, White Feather, and Invincible Swallow! Ling Yi's 16 great experts are all here! "
"Ling Yi is amazing! Even a Tier 5 Demigod NPC is taking the initiative to greet them. What's going on?"
"I heard that Gentle Snow and Shiuse Qiangwei, the two Vice Guild Leaders, have been promoted to the Ten Saints by the War God's Temple. They're even among the top five of the Ten Saints. Rumor has it that the top five existences of the Ten Saints can rival Tier 6 existences, while the top three can rival Tier 6 Gods."
"Ling Yi really is a monster camp. I heard that three of the Five Great Super Guilds' old monsters only recently managed to squeeze into the Ten Saints, yet Ling Yi already has two of its members. Moreover, they're among the top five existences …"
"I wonder when I'll be promoted to the Ten Saints? If I can, I'll die without regrets, even if I end up at the bottom."
The appearance of Ling Yi's group instantly became the focus of every player in Million Forest City and even the entire Fire Dragon Empire. This was especially true for the newcomers who had only recently joined God's Domain. When they watched the live broadcast in Million Forest City, they couldn't help but be fascinated by Gentle Snow and Shiuse Qiangwei's group.
Every one of them dreamed of a day when they, too, could shine as brightly as Gentle Snow and Shiuse Qiangwei.
Even to the current superpowers, Tier 5 NPCs were still frightening existences. Even in an entire kingdom, one would rarely see a Tier 5 NPC.
Yet, even such Tier 5 NPCs had no choice but to greet them respectfully. This was simply unbelievable.
Only the various superpowers' experts understood what the Ten Saints represented. They were existences that stood at the apex of God's Domain.
Although Gentle Snow and Shiuse Qiangwei were Tier 5 players like the various superpowers' Tier 5 experts, the difference between their combat power was like heaven and earth. Killing Tier 5 experts of the same level would be child's play for them.
Meanwhile, Galaxy Past, the Star Alliance's Guild Leader, and Purple Eye, a Level 190, Tier 4 Great Wizard, stood among the sea of players preparing for war in Million Forest City. At this moment, both of them quietly watched Gentle Snow and Aqua Rose with complicated expressions on their faces.
Back when they were in the Starmoon Kingdom, they had both been rivals with equal strength. Now, both of them had successfully reached Tier 4 and were peak experts among Tier 4 players. It wasn't impossible for them to reach Tier 5 in the future.
Now, however, they were only a part of Million Forest City's crowd. On the other hand, Gentle Snow and Shiuse Qiangwei already stood at the apex of God's Domain and were looked up to by countless players. Even Tier 5 NPCs and the Five Great Super Guilds' Tier 5 monsters had no choice but to treat them with caution.
At this moment, aside from Galaxy Past and Purple Eye, Matt and Prosciutto, who were part of Mythology's team, also felt conflicted.
Back then, Fang Shihan had invited Matt to join Ling Yi. However, Matt had rejected the offer because he felt that he could improve faster in Mythology.
However, the reality was completely different.
Now, however, he was still stuck at Tier 4. On the other hand, White Feather, who had followed Fang Shihan in the past, had already reached Tier 5.
As for Prosciutto, he couldn't understand how Fang Shihan had improved so quickly.
In terms of talent, he was much more talented than Fang Shihan. Although he and Fang Shihan were both Tier 5 players, there was a huge gap between their Mana Bodies' Completion Rates back when they had been Tier 4 players. He had only gotten promoted to Tier 5 when his Mana Body had reached 118% Completion Rate, whereas Fang Shihan had only gotten promoted after her Mana Body had reached 120% Completion Rate.
According to Odin, Fang Shihan could already be considered a reserve member of the Ten Saints. After some time, it wouldn't be surprising if she could defeat one of the Ten Saints. Her strength was already close to that of a Demigod NPC. Meanwhile, Prosciutto's combat power was only at the peak of Tier 5.
While Prosciutto was in a daze, Ling Yi's group arrived at Million Forest City's entrance.
"You're finally here," Unyielding Heart said, smiling. When Unyielding Heart saw Ling Yi's group, he smiled and said, "With you here, the Outerworld's NPCs and experts will have even less of a chance of breaching Million Forest City's defenses."
Setting aside the fact that even the weakest of Ling Yi's Tier 5 experts was at the peak of Tier 5, just Gentle Snow and Shiuse Qiangwei's combat power was enough to rival 30 Tier 5 experts. With this, the gap between the Tier 5 combatants between the two sides was significantly narrowed.
"What's the situation on the other side?" Gentle Snow asked.
Upon hearing Gentle Snow's question, Shiuse Qiangwei and the others turned to look at Unyielding Heart.
During the past few days, they had been focused on raiding a primordial ruin at the Top of the World, so they didn't know much about the Fire Dragon Empire's war situation. After receiving the Secret Pavilion's message, they had immediately rushed over with the newly constructed Sky Fortress.
"I can't say that we're optimistic, but we definitely have a fighting chance," Unyielding Heart said as he took out a Crystal Record. Unyielding Heart took out a Recording Crystal and displayed the recorded information. "Based on our investigation, the Outerworld's NPC army should have over 100 million Tier 3 players, around 150,000 Tier 4 players, and over 200 Tier 5 players. The Outerworld's Tier 3 players should have nearly 200 million Tier 3 players, over 50,000 Tier 4 players, and over 100 Tier 5 players.
Upon hearing Unyielding Heart's report, the many Tier 4 experts present felt stifled.
Setting aside the sea of Tier 3 experts, the gap between Million Forest City and the Outerworld's Tier 4 experts was massive. Even now, Million Forest City only had around 15,000 Tier 4 experts, yet the Outerworld's Tier 4 experts had over 50,000.
If the city's defensive barrier was breached, even a small number of Tier 4 experts would have a chance of breaching Million Forest City's defenses. After all, the City Lord's Mansion's defenses weren't as strong as the city's defensive barrier.
Fortunately, the gap between the Tier 5 combatants and the city's barrier wasn't large. With the city's barrier, Million Forest City still had a fighting chance.
"It seems the Outerworld's people are really going all-out in this war," Shiuse Qiangwei said, astonished when he heard Unyielding Heart's report. He then turned to look at the distant forest.
With such a frightening combat power, destroying an empire would be child's play.
"Isn't that perfect? If we can get rid of this army, the rest will be much easier, "Fire Dance said, licking her lips as she unsheathed a Void Blade, her eyes brimming with fighting spirit.
Back in Blackwing City, Fire Dance's team had suffered a miserable defeat. However, during this period, her strength had undergone an earth-shattering transformation. She had even grasped the threshold to comprehending World Laws. Now, aside from her Legendary Weapon, she also wore two pieces of Legendary Equipment.
Now, she could even put up a fight against the highest-ranked Fallen Angel.
However, Ling Yi's team didn't comment on Fire Dance's statement.
After all, under the Shifeng's guidance, they had improved their weapons and equipment significantly. Even if they didn't have a Legendary Weapon, they had at least Legendary Equipment. Even the weakest piece of equipment they wore was Fragmented Legendary rank. In terms of equipment, they weren't any weaker than Tier 5 NPCs.
Among them, Gentle Snow, Shiuse Qiangwei, and Violet Cloud were the luckiest. They were fully geared in Fragmented Legendary Set Equipment. In terms of Basic Attributes, they weren't any weaker than actual Tier 6 players.
However, just as everyone was thinking about how to deal with the Outerworld's NPC army and players, the Outerworld army, which had been hiding in the forest all this time, suddenly moved.
Boom!
With a deafening boom, the originally clear sky of the forest was suddenly enveloped by dark clouds, turning day into night. Then, the entire sky directly split open. Two huge claws that were several hundred meters in size emerged from the shattered sky, slowly tearing the entire sky in half.
In the next moment, a gigantic monster, several dozen kilometers long, emerged from the endless void. This gigantic monster had over a hundred eyes and several hundred sharp claws. Its entire body also radiated an endless, turbid fog that corroded space itself. As a result, space itself began to disintegrate, unable to recover.
For a time, both the players in Million Forest City and the Outerworld army hiding in the forest were stupefied by this scene.
"So, this is the legendary World Eater?"
Hundred Ghosts's Old Candlelight, who stood in the forest, stared at the gigantic monster in disbelief, shock filling his heart.
Monsters like the World Eater were only recorded in legends. He had only come across a few records regarding the World Eater by chance.
The World Eater was born in the endless void and lived by devouring worlds. It was the end of all life. Among the many races in God's Domain, the Dragon race, which was considered the strongest, was not even worth mentioning before the World Eater.
Even a Tier 4 Infant World Eater could devour a Tier 5 Dragon.
Meanwhile, the World Eater before him was an adult Tier 5 Infant World Eater. Even a Tier 6 God would avoid it.
Qi Yuan, who had long since reached Tier 5, exclaimed excitedly as he looked at the gigantic monster in the sky, "Amazing! We're definitely going to win this time! "
[World Eater] (Chaos Beast, Sacred Domain) Level 210 HP 3,000,000,000/5,000,000,000
The various major powers' players watching from outside the battlefield were similarly excited.
As for Fire Dance and the others in Million Forest City, they wore grim expressions as they looked at the World Eater.
Although they did not know what the World Eater was, based on its HP of 3 trillion, they could tell how frightening it was.
After all, the average HP of a Level 200 Saint Domain monster was around 200 to 300 billion. Even the highest-ranked Fallen Angel only had 900 billion HP. Yet, the World Eater before them had more than three times that …
"Activate all defensive magic arrays! Prepare all Magic Energy Towers! Victory for the Fire Dragon Empire! "
Mechabod, the Level 200, Tier 5 Demigod-ranked commander stationed at the city gate, shouted as he raised his sword in the air when he saw the World Eater approaching.
Immediately, multiple magic barriers appeared around Million Forest City.
A total of four magic barriers formed, stabilizing the space-time within 5,000 miles of Million Forest City. In fact, Million Forest City was isolated from the outside world. Even the World Eater's frightening mental pressure couldn't reach the city.
"Miniature World, descend!"
Upon seeing this, Shiuse Qiangwei immediately used the Ring of Gospel the Shifeng had given her. This was also her team's greatest harvest from their trip to the Primordial Ruin. They had upgraded the Ring of Gospel to Legendary rank, allowing them to descend to a complete Miniature World. Its effects were completely different from the World Mirror's.
How much?
Of course, the Miniature World consumed 5,000 Mana Stones for 30 minutes. All enemies within a 50,000-yard radius would be suppressed by the Miniature World. Only Tier 4 players would be able to utilize any Mana. Even Tier 5 experts wouldn't be able to utilize any of the Mana and elemental Mana within the Miniature World. Moreover, enemies below Tier 6 would have their Basic Attributes suppressed by 30% and their physique reduced by 30%. Tier 6 players would also have their Basic Attributes and physique reduced by 15%.
For a time, the Outerworld army's Tier 3 players fell to the ground like dominoes, their movements becoming as slow as tortoises. It was practically impossible for them to put up a fight against the Outerworld army. Only the Tier 4 players managed to retain some of their combat power. However, even they couldn't fly.
Only, the World Eater in the sky wasn't affected by the Miniature World Mirror's suppression, only losing 10% of its Basic Attributes.
However, this outcome also allowed Million Forest City's members to breathe a sigh of relief. Now that they no longer had a sea of Tier 3 players and Tier 4 players to support them, they could focus on dealing with the Tier 5 players and the World Eater, as well as the thousands of Flying Ships and tens of thousands of Tier 4 Flying Mounts.
"Holy World's Brilliance, activate!"
The Outerworld's various superpowers had long since prepared for this. Immediately, they had over a thousand Tier 4 magical class players form a massive, threefold magic barrier to fend off the Miniature World's Brilliance.
Although the barrier didn't completely stop the Miniature World's Brilliance, it allowed the Outerworld's players to utilize their Mana. Only, their Basic Attributes and physique would be reduced to a certain extent.
For a time, hundreds of thousands of Tier 4 players and a sea of Tier 3 players launched a frenzied assault on Million Forest City.
As for the World Eater in the sky, it controlled several hundred of its claws to stab at Million Forest City's magic barrier, each claw containing the power to shatter space-time.
"Fire at full power! Stop those claws! "
Fire Dance couldn't help but issue orders to the Sky Fortress and all the Blue Thunder Flying Ships.
Immediately, one beam of light after another bombarded the World Eater's claws. At the same time, Million Forest City's Magic Elven Towers and Energy Towers bombarded the World Eater's claws.
Boom … Boom … Boom …
A series of attacks blasted the sky into nothingness. However, these attacks only managed to deflect a portion of the World Eater's claws. Over a hundred of the World Eater's claws still managed to pierce the magic barrier.
In the next moment, the World Eater's attack shattered the four magic barriers instantly. They couldn't stop the World Eater's attack at all.
"All hail the World Eater! Prepare to die, you natives! "
The Outerworld players couldn't help but laugh when they saw the magic barrier shatter with a single move.
Originally, they had thought that this would be a bitter battle. Now, however, it had become a one-sided battle. Even if they didn't assist in the siege, the Outerworld's NPCs and the World Eater alone could easily annihilate Million Forest City.
At this moment, Million Forest City's players felt their hearts turn to ash.
How were they supposed to fight such a terrifying monster?
"We have no choice. Aqua and I will keep that World Eater busy. Everyone else, think of a way to stop the people charging in," Gentle Snow said as she looked at the Outerworld players blocking the World Eater. Glancing at the several dozen Tier 5 NPCs blocking the World Eater, Gentle Snow commanded, "As long as we can defend the core magic array, God's Domain's experts and NPCs will arrive!"
Hearing Gentle Snow's command, the various major powers' upper echelons nodded in agreement. They then took action, bringing out their trump cards as they prepared to fight a war of attrition against the Outerworld army.
Although the World Eater was powerful, they still had a chance of victory.
God's Domain's experts hadn't arrived yet. The longer they delayed, the more advantageous it would be for them.
For a time, Gentle Snow, Shiuse Qiangwei, and Violet Cloud launched their attacks on the World Eater.
Raising her greatsword, Gentle Snow executed the Mana Technique, Space Rend.
Immediately, several dozen sword lights slashed at the World Eater's claws, deflecting them. Meanwhile, Shiuse Qiangwei waved his staff, summoning several hundred-meter-tall sea serpents. These sea serpents then bit at the World Eater's claws, preventing them from reaching Million Forest City.
"Are they monsters?"
The Outerworld experts gasped when they saw Gentle Snow and Shiuse Qiangwei going toe-to-toe with the World Eater.
Even the Outerworld's many Tier 5 experts were astonished by this scene.
Every one of the World Eater's claws carried power at the Tier 6 Peak standard. Even Tier 5 experts wielding Legendary Weapons could barely block a few of the World Eater's claws with their weapon Skills, yet Gentle Snow and Shiuse Qiangwei actually carried power at the Tier 6 Peak standard with their Mana Techniques and combat techniques.
For a time, Gentle Snow, Shiuse Qiangwei, and the World Eater had become the center of attention. Even Tier 5 experts dared not approach them, as the shockwaves from their battle could easily kill ordinary Tier 5 experts.
Meanwhile, aside from Gentle Snow and Shiuse Qiangwei, Tier 5 experts fought in the sky above Million Forest City. As for the Tier 4 experts, they only dared to fight on the ground, not daring to take to the skies. After all, if a Tier 4 player dared to do so, they'd be reduced to ashes and become cannon fodder along with the Tier 3 players on the ground.
Meanwhile, more than 700 Tier 5 combatants fought in the sky above Million Forest City.
Originally, Million Forest City's experts were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of Tier 5 combatants. However, at this moment, the Tier 5 combatants were evenly matched with the Outerworld's Tier 5 combatants. This situation depressed the Outerworld's Tier 5 experts.
"Damn it! How are these natives so strong? "Qi Yuan was rendered speechless as he stared at Ji Luorong.
Not only was Ji Luorong able to fight two Tier 5 NPCs simultaneously, but she could also pin him down. Her usage of Mana, in particular, was simply unbelievable.
Moreover, Ji Luorong wasn't the most eye-catching of these natives.
After all, he had met Violet Cloud once in Ling Yi's game. She was also the little beauty he had wanted to invite to join his guild. Now, however, she was practically a monster.
Despite being a Domain Realm expert, she was actually able to fight a dozen or so Tier 5 NPCs to a standstill. In addition, Elder Windshadow, who wielded a Legendary Weapon, had also joined the battle. Otherwise, one or two of the dozen or so Tier 5 NPCs would've already died.
As for Fire Dance and Fang Shihan, who were hiding in the shadows, they were practically Grim Reapers. When the two worked together, the Tier 5 NPCs couldn't last more than five moves. As for the Tier 5 players, they couldn't last more than two or three moves!
As time passed, God's Domain's Tier 5 experts actually began to gain the upper hand in the battle.
"Elder Windshadow, we've already lost over 20 Tier 5 experts. If this continues, I'm afraid that we'll be at a disadvantage," Jade Leaf, who was wielding a Tier 5 NPCs, said. Jade Leaf, who had repelled a Tier 5 NPC with her battle axe, glanced at the distant Tier 5 expert Fire Dance had killed. She then turned to Windshadow and said, "Zero Wing's Fire Dance and Cold Shadow are simply unstoppable."
Originally, they only had 170 or so Tier 5 experts on their side. Now, they had already lost over 10% of their forces. On the other hand, God's Domain's side had only lost a dozen or so Tier 5 experts. Moreover, these Tier 5 experts would quickly revive and resume the battle. Most likely, they had long since prepared replacement equipment for these Tier 5 experts, so their combat power wouldn't decrease by much.
If the battle continued, Windshadow's side would only suffer annihilation. At that time, Windshadow's side would have plenty of top-tier weapons and equipment.
Windshadow frowned as he watched the battle. Gentle Snow and Shiuse Qiangwei were already frightening enough. Now, Ling Yi had other monsters with her. The strength of a single Tier 5 expert from the Ling YI Society was most likely equivalent to all of God's Domain's Tier 5 experts.
Just as Windshadow was about to order everyone to retreat, a spatial tear suddenly appeared a short distance away from Million Forest City. A youth in light-blue robes with dark-purple runes on his face slowly walked out of the spatial tear, followed by the highest-ranking Fallen Archangel. This youth was none other than the Fallen Archangel Xiluwaer.
Upon the arrival of these two individuals, Million Forest City fell silent. Even the players in the sky couldn't help but stop what they were doing.
This was because this youth's presence was simply too intense.
He was like the sun in the middle of the night. Just by standing there, everyone present felt a stabbing pain in their souls. Even Tier 5 experts weren't spared from the pain.
"What a bunch of trash! To think that you still haven't dealt with these ants!" the youth said, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes as he glared at the Outerworld's Tier 5 commander-in-chief.
"My lord, these heaven-blessed individuals are much stronger than the information stated. Even the World Eater couldn't do anything to them …" the Outerworld's Tier 5 commander-in-chief, one of the Seventeen Stars of the Holy Grail, said as he looked at the youth.
"Them?" The youth glanced at Gentle Snow and Shiuse Qiangwei, who stood beside the World Eater. Slightly surprised, he said, "Realm Crossers? No wonder they can deal with the World Eater. However, they are still too weak! "
After saying so, the youth waved his hand and pointed.
Suddenly, everyone present felt as if time had stopped. Aside from the players at Tier 4 and above, who could still think, the Tier 3 players couldn't even think. For a time, the only thing left in their minds was a fivefold magic array formed before the youth's finger.
Tier 6 Curse, Death God's Hand.
While time had stopped, a massive claw appeared above Gentle Snow and Shiuse Qiangwei. This claw alone was the size of the World Eater, and it descended on the immobilized Gentle Snow and Shiuse Qiangwei.
"It's over …"
"How can there be such a powerful monster?"
At this moment, Sixteenth Cloud, Unyielding Heart, and the other Tier 5 experts in the distance despaired.
Not only had the World Eater stopped time, but he had also used a legendary Tier 6 Curse. With this attack, let alone Gentle Snow and Shiuse Qiangwei, even Million Forest City would most likely be destroyed.
However, just as the massive claw was about to descend, a sword light suddenly shot out of Million Forest City and struck the claw before it could reach Gentle Snow and Shiuse Qiangwei.
Boom!
Along with a loud explosion, the frozen space shattered instantly. At the same time, the space above Gentle Snow and Shiuse Qiangwei transformed into nothingness.
"He blocked it?"
"He actually managed to block it? Who did this? "
Everyone was momentarily stunned when they saw the empty space above them. They then turned to look in the direction the sword light had come from.
In the next moment, a man wearing a black cloak and wielding a golden longsword flew out of the Teleportation Hall.
Following the appearance of this man, everyone couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
"Tier 6 God-ranked?"
"He actually got promoted to Tier 6?"
Everyone was very familiar with this man. This man was none other than the Shifeng. However, the aura the Shifeng radiated was simply inconceivable. This was especially true for the experts who had visited God's Ruins. They could even sense the aura the Shifeng radiated. Only, the aura the Shifeng radiated right now was several hundred times stronger.
That's right!
It was Divine Might!
"Guild Leader, did you succeed?" Fang Shihan could not help but ask for confirmation when she saw the Shifeng flying over.
Although the Divine Might the Shifeng radiated already proved that the Shifeng was a Tier 6 God-ranked expert, Fang Shihan still could not help but ask for confirmation.
Tier 6!
This was the true apex of God's Domain, an existence that could rival Tier 6 Gods.
"I succeeded," the Shifeng said, nodding with a smile.
In reality, he wanted to say that not only had he successfully gotten promoted to Tier 6, but he had also forged a Superior Divine Body, which was much more powerful than an ordinary Divine Body. The difference between the two was akin to the difference between a Mythic monster and a Superior Mythic monster.
Upon hearing the Shifeng's confirmation, Ling Yi and the others were ecstatic.
Now that the Shifeng had become a Tier 6 God-ranked expert, the Outerworld NPCs and players would no longer be a problem. In the future, Ling Yi would also become the bona fide number one Guild in God's Domain.
The Outerworld players were dumbfounded by this development.
Currently, the various superpowers in God's Domain were already racking their brains trying to get their geniuses promoted to Tier 5. Reaching Tier 6 was simply unthinkable for them. After all, the various Guilds still had no information on how to get promoted to Tier 6. How were they supposed to get promoted to Tier 6?
By the time they got promoted to Tier 6, it would be too late. After all, the difference between Tier 6 and Tier 5 was simply too great. Not to mention, the difference in combat power between Tier 6 and Tier 5 was even greater than the difference between Tier 5 and Tier 4.
"So what if you've reached Tier 6? You're nothing but ants trapped in this world! Do you really think you're a match for me? "the Scholar said, looking at Xiang Shifeng with disdain. He then raised the golden staff in his hand and swung it down.
All of a sudden, the entire world fell silent.
Previously, Tier 4 players could still think, but at this moment, even Tier 5 experts felt their thinking speed slow down significantly. Compared to the time stop they had experienced before, this time was clearly much faster.
Following which, dark-purple chains with divine runes emerged from the world one after another. Even the World Eater shuddered involuntarily. It was obvious that the World Eater feared these chains.
Once these chains materialized, they wrapped around Xiang Shifeng from all directions.
Just the appearance of these dark-purple chains made the Tier 5 players present shudder. Even their soul instincts warned them not to come into contact with these chains. Otherwise, they'd die instantly.
So, these are the legendary Chains of Law? Shifeng was astonished when he saw the dark-purple chains approaching him.
According to the records of the Ancient Gods' Legacies, these Chains of Law possessed power surpassing the Tier 6 Peak standard. Even Tier 6 Gods would find it difficult to move once bound by these chains. If one did not possess power surpassing the Tier 6 Peak standard, they'd eventually die from being bound by these chains.
Seeing several hundred Chains of Law approaching him, Shifeng unsheathed Solomon's Sword from his waist and brandished both swords.
Sword's Orbit!
In the next moment, not only did Shifeng remain unaffected by the Time Stop space, but dazzling stars even appeared around him. These stars seemed capable of annihilating heaven and earth, and any approaching Chains of Law were repelled. None of the approaching Chains of Law could get close to Shifeng.
By the time all of the Law Chains had been repelled, the stars around Shi Feng began to shine brightly. Instantly, the frozen space shattered once more.
"How is this possible?!"
The Scholar stared incredulously at Shi Feng, who was completely unharmed. His originally calm gaze was now filled with confusion and shock.
Chains of Law!
Even a Tier 6 God would have a hard time against these Chains of Law. They'd have no choice but to flee. If they weren't careful, they'd get caught and lose their lives.
Yet, Shifeng had blocked all of these Chains of Law with a single Sword Technique!
Most inconceivably, his Time Stop technique had no effect on Shifeng.
"Is it strange?" Shi Feng smiled faintly at the Scholar's surprised expression. "Don't tell me you think that you are the only Ancient Gods in God's Domain who possess Superior Divine Bodies?"
A Superior Divine Body was the source of an Ancient God's strength. Only a Superior Divine Body could perfectly utilize World Power, allowing one's every action to contain World's Might.
Chains of Law was only one way to utilize World Power, allowing one to wield a portion of World Might.
If Shi Feng used World Might directly, blocking the Chains of Law would be child's play.
"You have … a Superior Divine Body!"
The Scholar was stunned when he heard Shifeng's words.
Even among Ancient Gods, it was very difficult to obtain a Superior Divine Body. In his opinion, Shifeng was nothing more than an ignorant ant, yet he actually possessed a Superior Divine Body. Even if he told other Ancient Gods about this, they most likely wouldn't believe him.
"Your madness ends here!"
After saying so, Shifeng took a step forward and appeared before the Scholar. It was as if he had been standing in front of the Scholar all this time. He then used World Breaker and Terminator Sword.
Sword light flashed like a torrent, perfectly combining the two skills.
This was an Advanced Silver Sword Skill that Shifeng had created after continuously improving Sword's Transmigration over the past month.
Sword Ripple!
A torrent of sword light streaked across the sky, and everything in front of everyone turned into nothingness. The Scholar also disappeared, leaving only the three Seven Treasures intact.
However, in the nothingness, one could faintly see a very faint soul shadow. It was the Scholar from before. However, at this moment, the Scholar's face no longer had any divine patterns. He looked like an ordinary youth.
"Damn it! It's like this again! You bunch of ignorant ants are always ruining my plans! " The Scholar's soul body looked at Shifeng, his eyes filled with hatred and anger. He couldn't help but laugh. "Don't be so smug. Even if you have a Superior Divine Body, you can't do anything to me. My soul is eternal and indestructible. You have only destroyed one of my bodies. I can quickly create another one like this. Sooner or later, I will make all of you ignorant ants disappear!"
After saying so, the Scholar's laughter grew louder and louder, his mood increasingly carefree.
Meanwhile, the Scholar's words caused everyone present to shudder involuntarily. If such a monster could resurrect infinitely, it would be a nightmare.
"That's right! Your soul is indeed eternal and indestructible. " Shifeng nodded at the Scholar's words. He then smiled and said, "Even a true Ancient God cannot destroy an Ancient God. However, although your soul is indestructible, it can be weakened infinitely. I believe it won't be easy for you to recover, right?"
After saying so, Shifeng collected the three Seven Treasures. He then took out all of the Seven Treasures.
Immediately, the Seven Treasures resonated with each other. Instantly, the damaged Seven Treasures recovered to their peak, revealing their original radiant appearances.
"You!"
The Scholar's expression changed drastically when he saw this. Immediately, he turned around and tried to hide in the void.
However, Shifeng did not give him the opportunity to do so. He immediately took out the Soul Orb.
"Devour!"
In the next moment, the Soul Orb began to devour the Scholar's soul. As a result, the Scholar's soul began to weaken.
This lasted for a full three to four minutes before the scholar completely disappeared. Even his soul was gone.
Meanwhile, a nine-colored Crystal of Souls had formed inside the Soul Orb.
System: Congratulations! You have completed the Mythic Quest "Ancient God's Awakening". Rewarding an Ancient God's Soul Crystal and World Rank increased by two levels.
"An Ancient God's Soul Crystal?"
Shifeng glanced at the nine-colored Crystal of Souls before swallowing it. He wanted to see what this Ancient God's Soul Crystal could do. At the same time, he wanted to prevent any accidents from happening to the Scholar.
The Soul Orb had only absorbed the Scholar's soul. Although the Scholar appeared to be dead, he would slowly recover as time passed. This was also one of the powerful aspects of Ancient Gods.
After Shifeng swallowed the Ancient God's Soul Crystal, Shifeng suddenly felt a stabbing pain and a burning sensation in his head. The refreshing sensation he had felt when he had absorbed the Scholar's soul was nowhere to be seen.
This feeling lasted for a few minutes before it gradually dissipated.
"This is … the Peak of Tier 6?" Shifeng felt a sense of clarity and realism when he looked at the world around him. "No, that's not right! Even if my Concentration has reached the Peak of Tier 6, there shouldn't be such a huge improvement. Could this be the mental strength grandmaster realm? "
At this moment, aside from the mental strength grandmaster realm, Shi Feng could not think of any other possibility.
After all, his brain's processing speed was at least ten times faster than before. Now, he could manipulate the Seven Luminaries Crystal's Mana as if it were cotton.
However, Shifeng did not pay too much attention to this. After all, he still needed to deal with the Outerworld army.
"Run!"
"Everyone, retreat immediately!"
Upon seeing Shifeng kill the Scholar, the Outerworld's NPCs and players began to flee frantically. Every one of them wanted to escape into the World Passage as quickly as possible. After all, they felt that only by returning to their own God's Domain would they feel truly safe.
However, Shifeng did not give these people the chance to escape. He immediately slaughtered the Outerworld army, easily annihilating an entire forest with a single swing of his sword. Not even dregs of the Outerworld army remained, much less escape.
Meanwhile, this battle shook the world of God's Domain. When the Outerworld's NPCs and players received news of this battle, they immediately fled to their own worlds, not daring to linger.
It was also because of this battle that Ling Yi became the undisputed number one Guild in God's Domain. Countless players in God's Domain wished to join Ling Yi, and Ling Yi's many Guild Cities nearly exploded from the influx of players.
However, Shifeng left the matter of recruiting newcomers to the Guild to Gentle Snow and the other Vice Guild Leaders. As for himself, after completing the Seven Luminaries Treasure Quest, he logged out of the game and planned to meet with Xia Wuyuan. After all, he had always been curious about Feng Qianyu. Now that he had fulfilled all of Xia Wuyuan's conditions, he should be able to learn more about Feng Qianyu's situation.
In particular, after devouring the Ancient God's Soul Crystal, he felt a sense of reality that he had never felt before, which filled him with many questions. Most likely, he could only obtain answers from Feng Qianyu.
Middle layer, Green God Courtyard:
The Green God Courtyard was the Green God Company's residence in the middle layer. At the same time, it was also the place where the middle layer's various matters were handled.
However, there weren't many people in the Green God Courtyard. Even after walking all the way to Xia Wuyuan's lounge, Shi Feng saw only a few dozen people. It was clear that not many Green God Company employees could visit the middle layer.
When Shifeng entered Xia Wuyuan's lounge, he saw Xia Wuyuan brewing tea in the tea room. A cup of tea had also been placed on the other side of the tea table. It was as if Xia Wuyuan had known that Shifeng would visit him.
"Have a seat."
Xia Wuyuan glanced at Shifeng and pointed at the seat across from him.
"You knew I would come looking for you?" Shifeng asked. "Of course.
I'm aware of your every move in God's Domain, "Xia Wuyuan said, taking a sip of tea. Xia Wuyuan took a sip of tea and smiled faintly. "I even know that you've long since broken through to become a three-star mind power master. I even know that your mind power level has already reached the entry level of a grandmaster."
"You knew about it?" Upon hearing Xia Wuyuan's words, Shifeng came to a realization. "It seems the Green God Company really did develop God's Domain."
"You're only half right," Xia Wuyuan said, shaking his head.
"What do you mean?" Shifeng asked.
"God's Domain wasn't developed by the Green God Company. It's only operated by the Green God Company," Xia Wuyuan explained.
"It wasn't developed by the Green God Company?" Shifeng was slightly surprised by Xia Wuyuan's words. He couldn't think of any other powerful corporation with such technological standards. "How is that possible?! Is there another corporation in this world with technology standards that surpass the Green God Company's?! "
"Didn't you want to meet Feng Qianyu?" Xia Wuyuan suddenly asked.
Shifeng couldn't understand why Xia Wuyuan would suddenly mention Feng Qianyu. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Can I meet him now?"
"Of course. You're already qualified."
Xia Wuyuan snapped his fingers. In the next moment, a holographic image appeared in the air. This holographic image was none other than Feng Qianyu. However, this Feng Qianyu looked as lively as a living person.
"Sure enough, your improvement speed is still the same as before. It's unbelievable." The holographic image of Feng Qianyu looked at Shifeng and smiled. "If Elder Xia hadn't sent me a message, I wouldn't have believed you could grow to this extent."
"Where are you right now?" Shifeng asked directly.
He had always been curious about Feng Qianyu's sudden disappearance. In fact, he had a feeling that Feng Qianyu had long since known that something would happen to the Scholar, which was why he had warned him. The Scholar's understanding of God's Domain was simply unbelievable.
Meanwhile, the Green God Company was also very strange. It didn't allow anyone to meet Feng Qianyu.
"Since you asked, I'm sure you've already guessed that I'm not in your world right now," Feng Qianyu said, smiling. "At the same time, I'm not in God's Domain either. Rather, I'm in a world above God's Domain. Or rather, I'm in the real God's Domain."
"Not in the real world? The real God's Domain? What do you mean? Has your soul been digitized? "Shifeng could not help his surprise.
Looking at Shifeng's confused expression, Feng Qianyu paused for a moment. He then smiled and said, "My soul hasn't been digitized. It's just that my mind is currently in a special three-dimensional world. The God's Domain you've been in is also a three-dimensional world. However, due to some special reasons, I snuck into a higher-level three-dimensional world. Or rather, it's the main three-dimensional world. The God's Domain you've been playing is only one of the countless sub-worlds of this main three-dimensional world."
"Three-dimensional world? The God's Domain I've been playing is only one of the many sub-worlds of the main three-dimensional world? "Shifeng felt as if his brain couldn't process this information.
Although the various phenomena in God's Domain proved that God's Domain was not a simple virtual world, he found it hard to believe that it was a real three-dimensional world.
Just what kind of technical standards did one need to achieve such a feat?
"What Qianyu said is true. The God's Domain you've been playing is indeed a three-dimensional world. Only, this three-dimensional world is very special, and only the mind can enter it," Xia Wuyuan said, smiling at Shi Feng's disbelief. "Now that you've become a mental strength grandmaster, you are qualified to know the Green God Company's greatest secret.
"I've told you before that the Green God Company's founder is a mental strength grandmaster. He is also the first person in our world to reach the mental strength grandmaster rank. He accidentally discovered an instrument left behind by a four-dimensional civilization for all three-dimensional civilizations. This instrument allows one's mind to enter a special three-dimensional world created by the four-dimensional civilization. That three-dimensional world is like a game world. One can see all kinds of data and continuously level up to become stronger.
"Originally, this wasn't a big deal. However, the four-dimensional civilization left all of its technology in that three-dimensional world. Anyone who could take control of the three-dimensional world would be able to obtain all of the four-dimensional civilization's technology.
"Because of this, every three-dimensional civilization that discovered a three-dimensional world wanted to fight over it. They wanted to obtain this four-dimensional civilization's technology. That way, not only could they obtain near-eternal life, but they could also rule over countless three-dimensional worlds and become the rulers of the three-dimensional world."
"A civilization from a four-dimensional world?" After listening to Xia Wuyuan's explanation, although the Shifeng couldn't believe it, it was indeed possible. After all, they were only three-dimensional creatures. They couldn't understand the power of a four-dimensional civilization, just like how two-dimensional creatures couldn't understand the power of a three-dimensional world.
"Our world is very fortunate to have produced a mental strength grandmaster. Moreover, we also discovered the instrument left behind by a four-dimensional civilization. Hence, our world is qualified to compete for the three-dimensional world. Many of the Green God Company's current miraculous achievements are actually obtained from that three-dimensional world.
"However, when we first entered the three-dimensional world, we were very weak. We were nothing in that world. This was because that instrument could only be used when one's mental strength had reached the grandmaster level. Moreover, only a maximum of 60 people could enter that three-dimensional world at a time. Moreover, these people had to be at the half-step grandmaster level in their mental strength. Hence, the people of our world were like small, insignificant Guilds in God's Domain.
"Fortunately, the people of our world continued to develop and improve. As more people reached the half-step grandmaster level, we finally obtained the right to control a three-dimensional sub-world in that three-dimensional world. This sub-world is the God's Domain you play in. Because it is a sub-world, the restrictions aren't as strict as those of the main world. One's mental strength must reach the grandmaster level. As long as one isn't an infant or child, one can freely enter the sub-world.
"In God's Domain's sub-worlds, improving one's mental strength has become much easier. They can continuously nurture experts with mental strength at the half-step grandmaster level. Meanwhile, you are very amazing. You actually managed to break through your limits and reach the mental strength grandmaster level."
Speaking up to this point, Xia Wuyuan looked at Shifeng with a hint of excitement.
Gaining another mental strength grandmaster was a huge boon to their world. After all, they could bring another 100 half-step mental strength grandmasters into the three-dimensional world, greatly increasing their world's strength.
"It's no wonder why the other God's Domain worlds are invading us. So, they're competing for the right to control a sub-world?" Realization dawned upon Shifeng.
God's Domain's sub-worlds were like cradles for nurturing newcomers. The difference between having a cradle and not having one was massive.
"It isn't easy to enter the main world of God's Domain. The more sub-worlds one obtains, the easier it will be for a Tier 6 half-step mental strength grandmaster to emerge. Take Rain for example. She was lucky to have snuck into the main world of God's Domain. As for the others, they weren't as lucky," Xia Wuyuan said, sighing. "It's a rare opportunity for Rain to enter the main world of God's Domain. If she logs out of the game, she won't have such an opportunity again. Hence, we immediately brought her body back to the core area. With the core area's power, she won't have to worry about her body's condition even if she spends a long time in the main world of God's Domain."
Shifeng understood this very well. A mental strength grandmaster could only bring a total of 60 people into the main world of God's Domain. Hence, it was only natural that they didn't want Feng Qianyu to return to the main world of God's Domain.
"However, things are fine now. With a mental strength grandmaster like you, our world will have a much easier time," Xia Wuyuan said, smiling. Smiling, Xia Wuyuan said, "Even if Qianyu returns, it won't be a problem. You have 60 slots now. When the time comes, those old fellows from the various Upper Zones will most likely try to buy your slots. Don't give them those slots so easily. Back then, those old fellows had snatched plenty of Yuantian City's Upper Zone's resources. This time, Yuantian City's Upper Zone will be relying on you to regain some face!"
"If you wish to deal with Fu Jiuzhong, you can use this opportunity to expel him from the Upper Zone. I doubt that old fellow from Haitian City's Upper Zone will dare to say anything about it."
Shifeng nodded in agreement. As for Fu Jiuzhong, he no longer cared about him. After all, a mental strength grandmaster was far more powerful than a three-star mental strength master. He could easily crush Fu Jiuzhong's mind.
Afterward, just as Xia Wuyuan said, the various Upper Zones' managers came to Yuantian City's Upper Zone one after another, all of them hoping to trade for a slot to enter the main world from Shifeng. As for Haitian City's Fu Jiuzhong, even though Shifeng didn't say anything, he was still imprisoned by Haitian City's Upper Zone.
However, Shifeng wasn't in a hurry to sell his slots. After all, now that he knew about the main world of God's Domain, he couldn't casually sell his precious slots for the sake of his future. This was especially true when there were so many people in God's Domain's sub world, Ling Yi. Hence, Shifeng only sold ten slots in exchange for a favor from each of the ten Upper Zones.
When the time came, Shifeng intended to create an Upper Zone of his own.
Upper Zones weren't naturally formed. Instead, they were created through the technology of a four-dimensional civilization. Only, they required a lot of resources. Meanwhile, the top-ranked Upper Zones could provide a lot of these resources. With these resources and some items obtained from the main world of God's Domain, Shifeng could create an Upper Zone.
By creating an Upper Zone that was completely under his control, he wouldn't have to abide by the rules of the other Upper Zones and could bring his own people into the Upper Zone.
Time passed quickly. Before he knew it, three months had passed since the Shifeng became a mental strength grandmaster.
During these three months, Shifeng had arranged for his family and many of Ling Yi's core members to live in Yuantian City's Upper Zone. Afterward, he had Ling Yi frantically recruit people and plunder resources in God's Domain's sub worlds. He even had Ling Yi prepare to invade other worlds and plunder their resources. As a result, Ling Yi had an unprecedented number of Tier 5 experts under her command.
In addition to the Upper Zone's resources and Ancient God's Legacies, Gentle Snow, Shiuse Qiangwei, Violet Cloud, Fire Dance, Cold Shadow, Yan Tianxing, Lifeless Thorn, Blue Frost, and the others had all reached Tier 6, their mental strength reaching the Half-step Grandmaster realm.
Yuantian City's Upper Zone, inside a large mansion in the core area:
Shifeng took a look at Gentle Snow and the others, who had entered the special lounge one after another. He then entered the main lounge and prepared to begin a new journey.
