Chapter 161: Strange Movement in the Wilderness! All Factions Appear!

"This time, I have really gotten careless and failed. I didn't think that a trip to Dragon City would cost me so much." Jiang Cheng stepped out of the coffin; a touch of resentment and hatred flashed across his face, and even his handsome face looked a little distorted.

The equipment he carried on him were all very precious, not to mention the Death Substitute Puppet, which could bring a dead person back to life.

One of those precious items was a high-quality imitation of a card of rule, which was extremely valuable. It was enough to make all factions jealous!

But Link had now taken all of his equipment—including the Black Dragon Gang's research results. It was impossible for Jiang Cheng's heart not to be filled with resentment!

"Fine then, I shall let you take care of it first. In the future, I'll make you vomit out everything that you took from me with interest."

A few crows in the distance cawed continuously, causing the environment to be noisy and eerie.

Jiang Cheng's arm shook, and strands of dark energy immediately gathered. They then extended out like a palm, bringing out a whistling sound of the wind!

The crows couldn't escape at all and were enveloped by the huge black palm, forcibly being pulled to Jiang Cheng.

The corner of Jiang Cheng's mouth tugged. The giant palm closed into a fist, directly squeezing the three crows into a cloud of blood!

Jiang Cheng also didn't waste the cloud of blood.

Under Jiang Cheng's guidance, the blood mist condensed into bloodstains and gradually formed a somewhat distorted pattern on the ground. It seemed to be a magic circle that exuded a disturbing atmosphere.

Having lost all his equipment, Jiang Cheng could only personally draw the spell formation that allowed him to contact his organization.

When the spell formation's final stroke was drawn, mobilizing the magic power injected into it, a projection-like image appeared above the scarlet spell formation.

A somewhat blurry human figure could be vaguely seen. The figure seemed to be female.

"Oh, it's Jiang Cheng. You completed the task assigned by the organization so quickly? How's the result? Is there any need to continue investing in the Black Dragon Gang?"

Jiang Cheng's eyes twitched fiercely. His expression was strange, and his heart was full of bitterness. Did I complete the task? The obvious fact is that I suffered a double loss. Not only did I not bring back the results of the Black Dragon Gang's research, I even lost all my belongings.

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Cheng still said, "I failed. A powerful person appeared in Dragon City. He had the aura of at least three gods on his body; he snatched away the Black Dragon Gang's research data and even killed me once."

After listening to Jiang Cheng's words, the woman in the projection was obviously quite shocked. She was dazed for a few seconds before speaking again. "Even you were killed? It's really surprising. It seems that this person is really not simple. Let me ask the boss to see what his arrangement for this matter is."

The female figure temporarily left after this, obviously going to ask the boss for instructions. As for Jiang Cheng, he waited there silently.

After a while, the voice came out again. "The boss asks you to come back and put off the matters in Dragon City first. He will pay attention to this interesting person. There are other things in the organization that the boss requires you to do."

"En." Jiang Cheng nodded and waved his hand, shutting off the communication spell formation.

He then turned his head and looked in the direction of Dragon City. His lips moved slightly, and he uttered a sentence filled with coldness. "See you next time then, Link. I hope I don't need to wait for too long."

A few days passed quickly.

Unfallen City.

Shops lined the streets, and the [Doomsday Online] players were chatting with each other. It was a scene of prosperity.

"Old Wang Blacksmith's opening bargain sale—it's all top-quality equipment and selling at a 20% discount! Don't miss it when you pass by."

"Want to buy potions? They are good medicines that are necessary when going out of the city to kill monsters and level up. One bottle of potion will ensure that your waist won't become sore, your legs won't feel painful, and whatever you eat will taste delicious..."

"Are there any Priests? We are finding Priests for a teammate, and girls are preferred. We will go out of the city to hunt monsters together!"

The noisy sounds continued.

Standing on the city wall, Xue Linglong and the others—who looked down at this scene—all showed a smile on their faces.

"Human beings are truly easily satisfied creatures," said Luo Haoyue coldly with obscure eyes.

Zhao Yongkang, who was beside her, nodded. "That's true. Even though the world has turned cruel, as long as there is still a glimmer of hope, everyone is willing to live with a smile and show the cruel heavens that they are still living to their lives to the fullest."

The current Unfallen City had preliminarily formed the special industrial chains unique to the apocalyptic world.

Some players who possessed the power of the natural elements could accelerate the maturity of food, and they were continuously producing food.

Lifestyle profession players were responsible for making and repairing equipment. They were also responsible for selling various potions.

Some combat profession players were responsible for clearing out the monsters near the city and obtaining some special materials.

Even in the cruel apocalypse, these tens of thousands of people still looked vibrant with life.

But the reason they were able to achieve this was naturally inseparable from the city's protection and powerful strength.

Luo Xinghe, Xue Linglong, and the others all looked at Link in unison, with a touch of worship and reverence flashing across their faces.

It was this man who had overcome all obstacles and killed many powerful monsters. This led to the creation of this city, where humans could survive safely!

Link looked at the lively city and was in a good mood. But he knew very well that he had to be prepared for greater threats if he wanted to maintain the current situation.

According to the memories of his previous life, the Undead calamity struck on the tenth day of the apocalypse, and the siege war started. Only a few cities were able to be promoted into human home cities, continuing to stand tall in this world.

And this was only the beginning. Two months later, just as the human race was gradually adapting to the current environment, new spatial cracks appeared!

Dense waves of Zergs descended and swept through the world!

The Zerg army broke into many cities that survived the Undead calamity, and humans became food for the Zergs and the Petri dishes for their larvae...

Link constantly had to improve his strength. In the apocalypse, only the strong could survive eternally!

Link turned his head and asked, "How's the situation in the wilderness outside the city?"

Yang Xuerou knew what Link was asking, and she immediately replied. "In the past few days, many forces from different factions have gathered in the Forest of Darkness, seemingly waiting for something. Most of these factions have a home city that has successfully survived the siege and are very powerful. There are even Stage Five [Doomsday Online] players among them."

Link nodded slightly; he knew what those people were waiting for.

The key to the Epochal Ruins was in his hand. The forces from the various factions couldn't enter the ruins, so they were naturally waiting for him.

"It seems that there really are a lot of factions with a profound heritage and resources. Get ready; we will enter the wilderness tomorrow," said Link in a deep voice. He didn't plan to wait any longer; he would start closing the net tomorrow.

Whether it was the Epochal Ruins or the secrets held by those factions, his goal was to obtain all of them.

"So fast? But Link, you just wiped out the Black Dragon Gang not long ago. You haven't even stayed in the city for five days, yet you plan to leave again? Why don't we prepare for a few more days? Those factions aren't so easy to deal with," Yang Xuerou advised as worry flashed in her eyes.

Link shook his head; he had made up his mind.

With his current combat power and the various powerful pieces of equipment, Link wasn't worried about the Stage Five Star-rank enemies. He only needed to consider the dangers that came from the Epochal Ruins themselves.

But in any case, the sooner the Epochal Ruins was opened, the better. It was both a danger and an opportunity—it could help Link expand his advantages!

Chapter 162: Epochal Ruins! Three Large Organizations!

Seeing Link's firm eyes, Yang Xuerou could only nod her head in the end and stopped advising him. Perhaps, it is exactly this persistence and fearlessness that created this young man in front of me.

"I understand. By the way, these past few days, Lu Da led some researchers and made some practical props based on the research data you brought back. Remember to bring these props tomorrow when leaving."

Yang Xuerou clapped her hands while talking, and two subordinates carried a large box up the city wall.

"The progress is pretty good." Link smiled.

In Unfallen City, there was a special research institute called the Research Department, which mainly engaged in the research and development of equipment and some special items. The Research Department's creation was also a result of Link's doing.

Although many electrical appliances had lost their function due to changes in the world's nomological rules when the apocalypse descended, it didn't mean that mankind's study and development of science and technology were in vain.

At this stage, the Research Department was researching how to combine the still usable human technologies with magic.

"What good stuff is there?" Luo Xinghe looked at the box expectantly.

Xue Linglong, Qiao Ruowei, and the others also cast their gazes over.

The box was soon opened. There were a few weapons inside, as well as a wristband-like bracelet and things that looked like grenades.

At a glance, Link could tell that all these items were aberrated weapons. However, they had all been purified and wouldn't cause terrifying pollution to humans. Relatively speaking, these weapons' power was reduced due to being purified, but the burden on their users would also be much smaller.

Link casually picked up a pitch-black spear and saw that it was covered with mysterious lines that looked like dragon scales. This weapon had a domineering appearance, and the spear's sharp tip was spat out from the dragon's mouth!

Under the sun's sunshine, a black light circled the spear. Its appearance truly wasn't bad, and it was Gold-grade at least. Just nice—it was suitable for Xue Linglong's usage after he blessed it.

Two long blades and a bow were also inside, and all of them exuded awe-inspiring auras!

"These weapons' materials were all taken from aberrated monsters. They are more powerful than ordinary weapons." As she said this, Yang Xuerou took out the wristband-like bracelets in the box and distributed them to everyone.

A picture of a sword breaking through the sky was engraved on the bracelets, looking domineering and awe-inspiring. The overall design also carried a bit of the cyberpunk style.

"This is for communication; a spell formation is engraved within it. It can also be used to check the time. Most of the communication methods are invalid now. With this, your operations will be more convenient."

As Yang Xuerou injected magic power into the bracelet, a light screen appeared above the top of the bracelet, displaying the current time and everyone's name on it.

As long as the user controlled it with their mind, they could contact the other bracelets' owners.

"This thing is indeed not bad." Zhao Yongkang couldn't help but praise the bracelets.

"Sister Yang, are these grenades? Hasn't most of the technology-type weapons become unusable?" Luo Xinghe asked.

Yang Xuerou took out a grenade and spoke with a smile. "These grenades are made of special materials, and spell formations are also engraved inside. As one-time consumables, they store a large amount of energy inside. Although they aren't as powerful as a Forbidden Curse, they can also cause damage to Stage Four powerhouses."

As she spoke, she activated a grenade and threw it out of the city!

They heard a loud explosion, which was followed by flying sand and rocks. A terrifying, deep pit also appeared on the ground, and electric currents were flashing around it—which were quite powerful too.

"This one can paralyze and shock the enemy. In addition, there are smoke bombs and incendiary bombs. But since they are made of special materials, the number of grenades made isn't high. If it's to equip the five of you, each person can get ten of such grenades."

Everyone nodded when they heard this, and they exclaimed with praise.

If this thing was suddenly used in a battle, it could definitely surprise the enemy. No matter how poor the result was, it could still disrupt the opponent and create opportunities for them!

Link also said that they weren't bad.

Although these pieces of equipment weren't of much use to Link, they were very suitable for Xue Linglong and the others.

With these items—coupled with Xue Linglong and the others' extremely outstanding combat power among Stage Four players—they would also be able to pose a threat to Stage Five Star-rank powerhouses!

This would undoubtedly make Link more confident in dealing with the dangers that might exist in the Epochal Ruins.

At the same time, Bright Sun City.

A towering city wall stood here. This was also a human home city that had won the siege war, and the light of Order shrouded it.

In the magnificent and wide City Master's Hall.

A group of Temple of Light Elders gathered together and respectfully stood in the hall.

Ou Mingcheng, the Temple of Light's Lord, sat high on the City Master's throne. His facial features were cold and hard, seeming as if they were carved using a knife or axe. He looked very majestic, giving people a feeling of majesty.

A middle-aged Elder said in a deep voice, "Lord, by now, many forces are gathered in the wilderness to the south of Unfallen City. It's said that there are relics from the previous era in the Forest of Darkness's depths. All of these factions want to get a share of it."

"And after we checked the ancient books handed down, there are also sporadic records in this regard. The news should be true."

"Oh," Ou Mingcheng responded insipidly, and a meaningful smile flashed across his majestic eyes. "Which factions are involved?"

"Powerhouses from Quicksand City, Huge Deer City, Sword Weapon City, Colored Glaze Fortress, and other cities are involved. However, these cities should've only been instigated and rushed over upon hearing the news. The ones who spread the news to complicate the situation should be the factions behind these cities."

"According to the information obtained by the spies, it can be preliminarily determined that there are three large organizations—Martial God Hall, Ancient Martial Alliance, and Evil Sect."

Upon hearing these large organizations' names, Ou Mingcheng's eyes flashed obscurely, and he slowly said, "It's really lively."

The Temple of Light was also a faction with a rich heritage and long history. It had many ancient books and secrets. Before the apocalypse descended, they had already expected and prepared for it.

After the apocalyptic world descended, the Temple of Light actively built intelligence channels and sent several elite teams to explore the surrounding areas.

Ou Mingcheng was no stranger to these three factions.

Martial God Hall was an organization that believed in Chinese gods, and it was said that ancient Qi Refiners were even among them.

Ancient Martial Alliance was an organization co-founded by a group of ancient martial art inheritors. Among them were many powerhouses, most of whom excelled in melee combat.

Compared with the other two large organizations, Evil Sect appeared to be more strange and heterogeneous. Most of its members used various kinds of evil methods—very unpredictable and hard to defend against. It was akin to a demonic organization.

These three factions could all be called giants on the land of the Chinese!

After the apocalypse descended, they were like fish in the water because most of their members had awakened hidden professions. They quickly adapted to the new world, and not a single one of them was easy to get along with!

Some of them even controlled more than one human home city secretly!

These powerful factions had all taken part in the event this time. Although they didn't appear openly, a terrifying storm was still brewing!

The Elder spoke again. "Lord, should we also go to the Forest of Darkness and contend for the Epochal Ruins?"

Chapter 163: Whirlpool! Heading to the Wilderness!

Ou Mingcheng, the Temple of Light's Lord, lowered his head slightly as if he were thinking about something. His knuckles tapped on the throne's armrest, making a slightly dull sound.

He didn't answer immediately, and he frowned in consideration.

The Elders were mostly of the mature and prudent type, so they didn't rush him. Instead, they quietly waited.

After all, this matter was no trivial matter. The powerhouses from several cities would be taking part in the 'contest,' and the various factions would be plotting moves from behind the scene.

This might be an opportunity, or it could be a terrible whirlpool of death!

Whether the Temple of Light would take the initiative to be involved in this whirlpool had to be carefully considered.

The Temple of Light's Holy Son, Ou Chen, was full of eagerness, apparently making some calculations of his own. In his opinion, since the ruins appeared in the Forest of Darkness—which was in the wilderness to the south of Unfallen City—he could take the chance to drop by and visit Link.

Ou Chen had constantly been thinking about making Link join the Temple of Light!

Moreover, he had undergone the baptism of light three times now. The aura exuding from his body was extremely vast—even his skin was glowing with a faint golden radiance. He had also become a Stage Five Star-rank existence!

Having reached this stage, he was also considered a top powerhouse, even in the Temple of Light!

Hehe, with my current strength, I should be able to bring Brother Link to the Temple of Light already, right? Ou Chen thought this silently, and he smiled uncontrollably, even rubbing his hands with excitement.

Both Wu Hao and Tian Mingyuan—who were standing beside Ou Chen— frowned slightly, sensing something amiss in their hearts.

Holy Son's laughter is... a little vulgar.

Something's not right. There's something wrong with the Holy Son...

The two of them were thinking about this in their hearts when they saw Ou Chen stepping out of the queue.

After paying a salute to the Lord, Ou Chen solemnly said, "Lord, I think we should participate in this contest for the relics!"

"Oh." Ou Mingcheng raised his head, gave Ou Chen a meaningful look, and motioned him to continue talking.

"First of all, Elder Tian, Elder Wu, and I have explored Dragon City before, and we are familiar with the Forest of Darkness."

"Secondly, we have made friends with Link, the City Master of Unfallen City. We can form an alliance with Unfallen City to advance and retreat together. Since the descent of the apocalypse, the world we live in has become extremely dangerous. Only by continuously improving our strength can we continue to stand tall in such a world."

"Therefore, I think that we shouldn't miss this opportunity to explore the ruins!"

As they listened to Ou Chen's sonorous words, many Elders in the hall nodded silently.

The Holy Son had finally grown up and saw things from the bigger picture now!

Some Elders agreed. "The Holy Son insight is indeed good. I think the same way too; this opportunity shouldn't be missed!"

At the side, Wu Hao and Tian Mingyuan shook their heads slightly as they looked at the energetic Ou Chen.

The Holy Son is most likely thinking about going out to play again. The two of them thought this silently, and black lines appeared on their foreheads.

Ou Mingcheng seemed to be persuaded and nodded slightly. He was also supportive of exploring the Epochal Ruins.

Moreover, Ou Mingcheng had an unexplainable feeling about the ruins in the Forest of Darkness. He felt as if the ruins should belong to the Temple of Light in the first place...

In actual fact, this feeling was not groundless. In Link's previous life, the ruins did indeed belong to the Temple of Light. However, this opportunity was now snatched away by Link, which was why Ou Mingcheng had this vague feeling in his heart.

Seeing how Ou Chen and the Elders all thought the same way, Ou Mingcheng naturally wouldn't refuse. "Okay, the Temple of Light will also send a team to the Forest of Darkness this time."

The Temple of Light's Elders had no objection, and they bowed their heads, silently carrying out the rituals belonging to the Temple of Light.

"May the Light be eternal; may the Gods protect us!"

The next day, early morning.

Unfallen City.

The morning sunlight shone down from the clouds, bright and warm, and everyone in the city had also started a new and busy day.

In the City Master's Hall, Link distributed the blessed aberrated weapons to Xue Linglong and the others.

As for Qiao Ruowei, she received Jiang Cheng's scalpel.

After being blessed by Link, this scalpel had reached Epic-grade, not a single bit inferior to the aberrated weapons. It was quite extraordinary.

Everyone replaced their old equipment with the new ones, and all of them could sense that their combat power had once again increased by quite a bit!

Link said to Yang Xuerou, "After I leave, I will leave it to you to deal with the matters in Unfallen City. If you have any urgent matters, contact me with the bracelet."

Yang Xuerou nodded, affection and the unwillingness to separate flashing faintly in her eyes. Although she had thousands of words to say in her heart, the only sentence that came from her mouth was: "Okay. You must pay attention to your own safety."

"En." Link nodded slightly.

Everything had been arranged properly. Link didn't procrastinate and immediately waved his hand as he shouted in a low voice. "Move out!"

"Yes, Lord!" Xue Linglong and the others responded one after another, their faces full of determination.

For this trip to the Forest of Darkness, Link only brought Xue Linglong, Luo Xingyao, Luo Haoyue, and Zhao Yongkang along.

The rest, including the guardian beast—Blood Shadow—and Star Moon, all stayed behind to guard Unfallen City. After all, Unfallen City was Link's foundation, and the City of the Undead—which was inside Unfallen City—was of utmost importance.

Moreover, the remaining Stage Four powerhouses—such as Qiao Ruowei and Luo Xinghe—were also responsible for bringing some fighters that were worthy of grooming into the dungeon to increase their level and combat experience.

In the apocalypse, personal strength was certainly important. However, the combat power of the forces under his command also couldn't be ignored.

As for Xue Linglong, Luo Xingyao, and Zhao Yongkang, they had all reached Stage Four, Level 10. They were only one step away from reaching Stage Five Star-rank.

In this current period, there were also many Stage Five powerhouses in the Forest of Darkness. Thus, Link decided to bring them and let them feel the domains of Stage Five Star-rank powerhouses as much as possible. This was so that they could accumulate insights and experience, thereby completing their own domain construction as soon as possible.

Link led the three of them out of Unfallen City and traveled into the wilderness.

Originally, Link could just teleport all four of them there. He had the [Ring of Teleportation] in his hand, and the Epochal Ruins' space node was also recorded in it.

But the ruins in the Forest of Darkness were currently being watched by many forces. Rashly teleporting inside would only alert these forces, making Link's group their common target. Not that they could pose a threat to Link, but there wasn't a need to make his group a common enemy.

Therefore, Link planned to travel to the Forest of Darkness on foot and also find out the details of those forces along the way.

But not long after they left Unfallen City, a group of five people suddenly appeared in their sights.

All five of these people exuded fierce auras. They had quite high strength, and they were Stage Four powerhouses at least.

Prior to the siege war, Stage Four [Doomsday Online] players were still the top powerhouses among humans, and their numbers were extremely low.

With the siege war's end and the passage of time, more and more people had advanced to Stage Four. A small number of Stage Five Star-rank powerhouses had even appeared in large factions.

"Eh? These people's auras are quite extraordinary; they are all Stage Four powerhouses!"

"I didn't expect to run into Stage Four powerhouses here. It seems that your team is from the nearby Unfallen City, right?"

Chapter 164: Conflict! Dominant Overpowering!

Link and company all did not speak. They were thinking about which city this group of chance visitors had come from, and the five people across them had posed the question first.

They'd met on a narrow path, and the background of these people were unknown. Thus, Xue Linglong, Luo Xingyao, and the others all inwardly grew vigilant.

All their gazes were directed toward Link, wanting to know their City Master's intentions.

Link remained with an aloof countenance, and he said calmly, "Mm, we're from Unfallen City."

"That's it; you must've received the news too. There is a historical ruin in the Forest of Darkness, which is south of the wilderness. It is said that the ruin came from the previous era."

At this point, the brow of the man who spoke arched as he looked smilingly at Link. He could tell that this young man was this team's leader. "You people should be heading to the historical ruin as well. Why don't we group up? I'm Chen Lingfeng, and we have five Stage Four powerhouses on our side. Together with all of you, our strength will be significantly boosted."

"Whether it's for self-preservation or vying for the chance to enter the historical ruin, our chances will become much greater."

From the five-man group, a skinny man added, "Yes, join us! We guarantee that you'll have a good life!"

His sight continuously lingered on the few ladies—Xue Linglong, Luo Xingyao, and Luo Haoyue—and his gaze was heated.

Gorgeous [Doomsday Online] players weren't seen often. Not to mention that the few ladies were all Stage Four powerhouses, which was even rarer. It caused a desire to conquer them to rise in one's heart involuntarily.

The skinny man's Adam's apple moved as he swallowed a mouthful of saliva. His mouth became slightly dry.

Xue Linglong and Luo Xingyao both furrowed their slender brows.

Luo Haoyue even wore a hostile look. If it weren't because Link had given her a look, she probably would've struck right away.

Despite this, Luo Haoyue still scorned them coldly. "Have a good life just with the capabilities of you few?"

This taunt caused the countenances of the five people across them to change slightly.

Link smiled; he felt that making use of this team to understand the Forest of Darkness's current situation would be good too. "We can group up, but there can only be one voice in the team."

Chen Lingfeng—who headed the five-man team—frowned upon hearing Link's words. Never mind that the woman is eccentric, but this youth before me is clearly reversing the roles of the host and the guest. He wants to vie for the command of the entire team.

His gaze turned cold, and he said in a hostile tone, "Friend, you might have gotten it wrong. It's not that I'm not begging you to join us, but that you must do so."

The skinny man also spoke with a cold laugh. "We are people of Quicksand City, and we are on friendly terms with a Stage Five Star-rank powerhouse, Jiang Wencheng. Allowing you people to party up with us is doing you a favor; don't be ungrateful!"

A sparkling glow flashed through Link's eyes as he found this situation increasingly interesting.

Since these people were on friendly terms with a Star-rank powerhouse, it was very suspicious that they had come here instead of riding on that Jiang Wencheng's coattails.

Could it be that the situation in the Forest of Darkness has become chaotic? The various factions' powerhouses are fighting one another, which is why they came here to capture able-bodied men?

Link casually waved his hand, and indifference was written all over his face. "Noisy."

Chen Lingfeng and his four companions sensed the contempt and disdain in Link's attitude. A flood of anger rose in their chests.

They had mentioned a Star-rank powerhouse, Jiang Wencheng, but this Unfallen City team before them still refused to yield obediently.

To Chen Lingfeng and company, they felt that this team truly didn't know what was good and what was bad for them. They were virtually tempting fate!

A sturdy man, armed with a huge axe, in the team immediately shouted, "Rascal, do you know who you are speaking to?"

"It seems like you want to do this the hard way!"

"You people must leave with us today! This is the order of a Stage Five powerhouse. If Unfallen City dares to defy this order, just wait for your city to be massacred!"

The look on Chen Lingfeng's face was no longer peaceful. He finally ripped off his hypocritical mask and revealed his hidden fangs.

Up till now, they were still ordering the people about with arrogant airs, completely unaware of the terrifying existence that they had offended!

Massacre the city?

Once this sentence was said, the atmosphere instantly stagnated.

The gazes that Zhao Yongkang, Xue Linglong, and the others directed at Chen Lingfeng and his party even carried some pity...

"Is that so." Link tugged at the corner of his lips, bringing out an icy smile.

Xue Linglong and company took the hint as cold glows rose in their eyes.

With a clasp of their palms, the weapons stored in their individual backpacks appeared in their hands. Sharp auras emerged at once.

A hint of contemplation appeared at the corners of her mouth as Luo Haoyue—who had been held back for a long time—no longer retained her restrained aura. Then, frightening momentum immediately erupted.

It was sinister and terrifying—even the skies turned dark because of it.

"Apologies, my Lord Envoy isn't in a good mood, so please go to hell, everyone..."

A sweet voice sounded, but the words it carried didn't have the slightest warmth. Instead, it directly set off chills in the hearts of Chen Lingfeng and company!

"The aura of a Stage Five powerhouse!"

"You're actually a Stage Five powerhouse! How can this be?"

The faces of Chen Lingfeng and his party instantly paled, and the hair on their back stood on end. A chill even infiltrated their bodies at once, freezing their soul!

Stage Five powerhouse—they were the top combat forces at this present stage. They were very rare, even amongst the various major factions.

How could they expect to actually encounter one here?!

Chen Lingfeng and the others had dumbstruck expressions. Their hearts were filled with surprise and terror, and their minds were rather stunned!

They hadn't been mentally prepared for this present situation—which had instantly changed—at all!

It was like a sheep—which one originally thought to be weak and easy to bully—suddenly becoming an ancient dragon. It was horrifying!

"Split up and escape!" Chen Lingfeng abruptly returned to his senses, let out a yell, and fled into the distance. He totally didn't dare to remain in the same spot.

Seriously, the five of them—all Stage Four powerhouses—would be too few before a Stage Five Star-rank powerhouse!

Moreover, there were still several other Stage Four powerhouses. If they were to fight, that would absolutely just be courting death!

The remaining four people also knew themselves well. Without a second word, they all chose to escape.

The attributes of Stage Four [Doomsday Online] players weren't low. In the present life-and-death crisis, the few people even stimulated the potential in their bodies, wishing to grow an extra leg. They had covered close to 100 meters in the blink of an eye.

"Can you escape?" Luo Haoyue's slender finger slightly lifted as if she were beckoning them. Streams of spider silk and dense spiderwebs swiftly extended out from beneath her feet and covered the ground.

The ground—which was originally overgrown with weeds—instantly seemed to be covered by a massive net. An aura that made one restless spread with it.

The speed at which the spiderweb extended was actually even faster than the speed at which Chen Lingfeng and the other Stage Four powerhouses were running!

"This is a domain!"

"It's the domain of a Stage Five Star-rank powerhouse!"

Chen Lingfeng and company had been around, so they knew that they were being dragged into a domain. They revealed looks of fear and let out shouts!

Their escaping speeds slowed down at once. They even found it difficult to stride forward; it seemed as if streams of invisible spider silk had tightly wound around their bodies, restricting their movements!

Chapter 165: Boundary Breaking Talisman! Undercurrent!

Chen Lingfeng and company exhausted everything they had; some released skills, wanting to isolate the domain's effects. Others—with weapons in hand—ruthlessly hacked at the dense spider silk on the ground, wanting to destroy the domain.

However, they were wide-eyed the next moment; their bodies were stiff because the crisis was much more than these things...

Indescribable, dreamlike murmurs indistinctly sounded by their ears! It sounded as if someone was sleep-talking and chanting beside them.

A strange force struck as though it sought to drag them into infinite dreams.

Before their eyes, distorted spider shadows also appeared; it was unknown whether it was their imagination or reality.

"No, don't come here!" Chen Lingfeng's eyes turned bloodshot. The streaks of blood stood out, making him seem fearful and restless.

This was his first time encountering such a strange situation. He could only swing the longsword in his hand constantly, driving away the spider shadows that aroused his infinite fear.

The sound of wind breaking was ceaseless. The radiance of every skill bloomed, but the spider shadow before him wasn't affected in the slightest; it still closed in at every step.

And in Link and the others' field of vision, it looked as if Chen Lingfeng had gone mad—he was striking at the air.

A pitch-black spider shadow—which crawled out from Luo Haoyue's shadow—had soundlessly moved behind him.

The eight slender and sharp chelicerae were like eight blades. They quietly folded in, leaving behind pitch-black afterimages in the air.

The next moment, crimson blood and body parts splattered; there was only a pile of broken limbs and minced flesh on the ground!

The remaining four people's states were nearly the same as that of Chen Lingfeng—everyone was struggling on the edge of death.

Luo Haoyue had already transformed into the God of Evil's heir. Such powers of madness and aberration were something Chen Lingfeng and company couldn't resist. After all, this was the first time they encountered it.

Presently, even Xue Linglong and the others—who weren't the attack's targets—had turned several hints paler. They were slightly affected by the ravings and pollution.

Zhao Yongkang was even frowning. Such a profane and strange aura had evoked unpleasant memories in him.

"Leave one alive," Link ordered coolly.

Luo Haoyue chuckled. "As you wish."

Soon, the spider shadows that crawled out of her shadow returned to it. But after devouring four humans' flesh and blood, their bodies had indistinctly grown bigger.

The last spider shadow even brought a man—who was solidly tied up with spider silk—to the front of Link and company.

"Speak, what exactly did that Jiang Wencheng get you people to do?" asked Link.

However, that remaining survivor looked full of terror. He constantly shouted, and there was absolutely no way of communicating.

Link felt a little helpless. This was the only con of Luo Haoyue's ability; it caused one to fall into madness and fear too easily...

He summoned six-winged Angel Yuna and got Yuna to dispel the effects of mental pollution for this captive first.

Waves of holy light bloomed. Under Yuna's [Holy Light Purification, the captured Wang Hao finally broke free from the frightening imagination and illusion.

"Confess your motives; otherwise, you will experience something even more frightening than what you encountered earlier," Luo Haoyue warned calmly.

Wang Hao was about to wet his pants! Everything he had encountered earlier had left him in utter despair. He was still trembling all over right now; he didn't want to experience such things again.

At this very moment, he simply felt regret in his heart, unparalleled regret...

If they had known that a Stage Five powerhouse was in this team, they absolutely wouldn't have dared to be so impudent and arrogant. However, the universe had millions of different types of medicines—all types except for regret medicine!

Before long, Wang Hao had spilled everything he knew.

It turned out that, since the various forces didn't have the key to open the historical ruin, the various forces had to wait for the person carrying the key to appear after they had gathered at the Forest of Darkness.

But subsequently, the people of Evil Sect brought out a [Boundary Breaking Talisman].

It was said that this [Boundary Breaking Talisman] could break open the protective ward outside of the historical ruin and that one could enter the ruin without the key.

However, a powerhouse above the Star-rank was needed to launch this [Boundary Breaking Talisman].

If a Star-rank powerhouse wished to launch it, they would need to gather the strength of many people. These people would have the strength in their bodies drained instantly, falling into a long period of weakness.

In the situation where the wolves were waiting, there naturally weren't any Star-rank powerhouse willing to sacrifice their strength and let their bodies turn weak.

Hence, after a discussion between the various forces' top powerhouses, they decided to use an array formation recorded in the ancient books.

They would use a large number of Stage Four and Stage Three powerhouses as the array's base to gather power and use it to launch the [Boundary Breaking Talisman]. This would fulfill their aim.

But this array carried a massive risk; it could be said that the people used as the base would very likely face death.

Stage Four and Stage Three powerhouses were also the various cities' backbone. The various forces didn't wish to lose too much of their combat capabilities. Hence, they dispatched people to search everywhere.

Wang Hao's party of five had been following the instructions of Ancient Martial Alliance's Star-rank powerhouse, Jiang Wen Cheng. They were to come to Unfallen City and search for [Doomsday Online] players—this was why they met Link and company.

After learning the whole story, Zhao Yongkang and the others' countenances all turned grimmer.

None of those big forces were good, but this was the natural state of the apocalyptic world. Bloodiness and brutality were normal.

Link—who had lived two lifetimes as a human—didn't have much to feel emotional about. He merely searched for information regarding the Ancient Martial Alliance and Evil Sect in his mind.

Previously, Unfallen City had also sent people to gather intelligence in the wilderness. However, the main objective was still to consolidate the people exiled in the wilderness.

Among the information sent back, they only knew that the people of Quicksand City, Huge Deer City, and Sword Weapon City had set their sights on the Epochal Ruins.

Unexpectedly, there were also Ancient Martial Alliance, Evil Sect, and other forces involved.

According to the memories of Link's previous life, Ancient Martial Alliance and Evil Sect could be considered the Chinese land's top forces.

In the early stages of the apocalypse, these two forces rose swiftly and abruptly; they even controlled more than one human home city. Their knowledge and resources were deep-rooted. So much so that even the Temple of Light from the same period was inferior when compared to them.

However, the Undead Scourge wasn't all there was to the apocalypse. As crises arrived again and again, many human home cities that originally stood tall were destroyed.

Finally, they were left with only a few cities and the five major cities that could be called the super home cities.

The Temple of Light, with ample reserve strength, occupied one of them.

People from the Ancient Martial Alliance and Evil Sect? No wonder they are so confident, wanting to enter the historical ruin forcefully. It's becoming more and more interesting, Link thought inwardly, and he led everyone to continue heading toward the Forest of Darkness.

As for the Stage Five powerhouse called Jiang Wencheng, Link also had an impression of him. However, it wasn't because of this person's future accomplishments.

In reality, although Jiang Wencheng had a glorious moment now since he was an illustrious Stage Five powerhouse, his potential was lacking. He was completely unable to contest with the heroes of the later generations.

So much so that his radiance was completely concealed in the era where the stars were bright and heroes came to the forefront, becoming utterly dull.

The reason why Link had an impression of him was that the one who killed this person in the future was a person strong enough to rank among the top 100 powerhouses in the human alliance!

It was unknown whether he could encounter this person this time, so Link slightly anticipated this...

Chapter 166: Forest of Darkness! Reunion!

In the depths of the wilderness, the Forest of Darkness.

Under the corrosion of an unknown force, all the trees in this area took on a charred state, and the leaves were withered.

Shriveled branches grew upward in a distorted manner. It seemed like many ghost claws had popped out, looking twisted and desolate.

Grimace-like patterns had even appeared on the tree trunks, making this place even more eerie and frightening!

This place should've been a paradise for monsters and the forbidden zone for humans.

But during this period of time, the Forest of Darkness—where even the refugees exiled to the wilderness didn't dare to step into—had gathered a large number of [Doomsday Online] players.

The monsters occupying this area were also wiped out by the players. In place of them were staggered tents and erected campsites, astonishingly turning the area into a gathering ground for humans.

However, there were significant gaps between all of these campsites—the distinction between groups was clearly made.

One could tell that it wasn't that harmonious between these [Doomsday Online] players. Instead, they were on guard, belonging to different factions, respectively.

In the Forest of Darkness's center was also a massive pit.

Mysterious lines and images had been drawn at the bottom of the pit using special materials.

Above it, lying this way and that way, were people that had been tied up or fallen into a coma.

Outside the pit, two figures proudly stood with their hands behind their backs, apathetically watching as the unconscious [Doomsday Online] players were thrown into the pit by their subordinates.

Both these figures radiated an aura that was entirely different from others.

The aura couldn't be considered majestic or mysterious, but it was outstanding in any case. They were clearly the best among the [Doomsday Online] players—Stage Five Star-rank powerhouses that many people looked up to.

Ancient Martial Alliance's Jiang Wencheng was one of them. His face was handsome and mature, and he was about 30 years of age. He was dressed in a blue robe that had quite an ancient style. This piece of clothing was high-level defensive equipment.

The other person was a powerhouse sent by the Evil Sect. He was also the one who suggested using the [Boundary Breaking Talisman] to break open the Epochal Ruins' barrier, Zhu Changfeng.

This Star-rank powerhouse's appearance wasn't exceptional; it was even somewhat ordinary.

Zhu Changfeng was dressed in black. He was armed with a staff that was twisted out using dead wood, and a bell was even hanging from it. Like the ancient witches, he carried a mysterious and gloomy disposition.

Thud! Thud!

Among the stifled noises, several more people were pushed into the pit.

Jiang Wencheng put on a contemplative smile, and his handsome face appeared to be a little clouded. "So many people want to take their share of the loot, but they're merely seeking their own doom. Why didn't they consider whether this is a place they can have a hand in?"

The majority of the people inside the pit were [Doomsday Online] players that had rushed here upon hearing the news. They wanted to follow behind the various major factions and obtain some gains.

Unexpectedly, they were used as the array's foundation, and their lives were now in peril.

In reality, the present Forest of Darkness had already been divided into three camps.

Other than the people from the three sects—Martial God Hall, Ancient Martial Alliance, and Evil Sect—everyone else had been made unconscious and thrown into the large pit.

Even some lone wolves with exceptional combat ability could not escape.

Jiang Wencheng looked toward Zhu Changfeng, and a hint of impatience indistinctly flashed through his eyes. "Isn't it enough now that we already have such a strong 'array foundation?' How much longer do we need before we can open this historical ruin?"

Zhu Changfeng of Evil Sect pursed his lips and smiled. "A watched pot never boils. This historical ruin isn't simple; otherwise, it wouldn't have tempted the factions behind you and me. If we want to break it open forcefully, we naturally need immense energy."

"Or..." Zhu Changfeng paused for a moment, his gaze darting toward the few lackeys following behind Jiang Wencheng. "If Brother Jiang is willing to give up some subordinates, we will be able to speed up the process."

Jiang Wencheng's face instantly turned cold, and he no longer responded.

Three major forces were gathered here. Although they had entered an alliance on the surface, maintaining restraint and peace, they each had their respective schemes in their heart.

Once the historical ruin was opened, the so-called allies would instantly become enemies!

Who would be willing to lose their strength at such a time?

Moreover, Jiang Wencheng also knew that, while the three factions seemed to be well-matched in strength—each had a Stage Five powerhouse presiding over them—this was merely their strength on the surface.

If one were to say that Evil Sect and Martial God Hall had no contingency plans, he would never believe it...

Zhu Changfeng's brows furrowed, and he asked, "Where's Brother He?"

Jiang Wencheng shot a look in the direction of the campsite and sneered. "Probably staying at the campsite. He Lunhai is a member of Martial God Hall; he naturally cherishes his reputation, so he isn't willing to wallow in the mire with us. He's afraid of dirtying his hands."

Zhu Changfeng smiled and said, "He's just pretending to be noble."

One had to know that nobody had objected back when the few factions held a discussion, wanting to use a large number of players as the array's foundation to break open the Epochal Ruins' barrier.

He Lunhai pretending to know nothing right now was merely deceiving himself and others.

Right then, a buzz sounded.

Jiang Wencheng pulled out a jade token from his bosom and placed it by his ear. This was clearly a communication device within Ancient Martial Alliance.

"Someone is coming this way? All right... I got it." Jiang Wencheng smilingly put the jade token away. He then said to Zhu Changfeng, "Someone is coming. It is said that there are quite a number of Stage Four powerhouses and also a Stage Five existence. Shall we go welcome them?"

"Stage Five powerhouse? With them, that should be just about enough." Zhu Changfeng nodded, a hint of heat flashing across his eyes.

Half an hour ago, in the wilderness.

Link and company were currently advancing to the Forest of Darkness when noisy footsteps suddenly sounded behind them.

Evidently, a group of fairly high-level [Doomsday Online] players was also heading in the direction of the Forest of Darkness.

With the lesson they learned after encountering Quicksand City's team earlier, Xue Linglong and the others all stopped and gripped their weapons tightly, prepared to fight at any time.

But as the two groups drew near, a surprised shout abruptly sounded by everyone's ears.

"Brother Link's party is in front! Brother Link, it seems like you and my Temple of Light are really fated!"

Hearing this voice, Link didn't have to turn back to know who was here—it was the Temple of Light's Holy Son, Ou Chen.

Ou Chen appeared to be very happy that they could run into Link's party on the road. However, Tian Mingyuan and Wu Hao—who followed behind Ou Chen—felt the corners of their eyes twitch.

How is this being fated? Previously, Ou Chen specially made a trip to Unfallen City with us. After learning that Link and the others had set off, we then tried to catch up as quickly as possible.

"Brother Link, I'm already a Stage Five Star-rank powerhouse now! Let's form an alliance again. With a strong alliance, we will certainly be able to make this trip worthwhile!" Ou Chen rattled away.

But Link's gaze directly bypassed him as he nodded toward Tian Mingyuan and Wu Hao, who were behind him. "Elder Tian, Elder Wu."

Tian Mingyuan and Wu Hao also smiled; they thought very highly of Link to begin with.

The few people struck up a conversation, leaving Ou Chen hanging.

Ou Chen's expression instantly turned stiff. He—who had advanced to Stage Five and became a Star-rank powerhouse—still didn't have much influence...

Wu Hao said, "Little Brother Link should be heading to the Forest of Darkness too. Why don't we go together? We'll be able to watch out for one another."

Link didn't reject and nodded his head. "Okay."

Chapter 167: Arriving At The Peripheral! Wolves in Sheep's Clothing!

The Temple of Light had sent people that Link knew; he didn't mind traveling with them.

Of course, it was impossible to share the Epochal Ruins. That was all Link had. But as both parties were friends, Link didn't mind protecting them. After all, it wasn't too peaceful in the Forest of Darkness.

Seeing that Link had yet to break through Stage Five and wasn't the top powerhouse at the current moment, Tian Mingyuan and Wu Hao also had the intention of taking care of him. However, they didn't despise Link because of that.

It was important to know that this young man had killed a Stage Four powerhouse when he was Stage Three.

Based on the fact that he was able to defeat someone higher leveled than him, Link definitely couldn't be underestimated. He definitely had a hidden card up his sleeve.

Both parties traveled together. With Ou Chen the chatterbox around, the atmosphere was very cordial.

Link also learned a lot of information about the Evil Sect, Ancient Martial Alliance, and Martial God Hall.

These three powerful factions had sent Star-rank powerhouses with at least 20 to 30 Stage Four powerhouses under them.

The team sent by the Temple of Light wasn't weak either. Two of them were Star-rank powerhouses, and five of them were Stage Four powerhouses.

Other than Ou Chen, Wu Hao had also advanced to Star-rank. Tian Mingyuan was also Stage Four, Level 9, so his combat prowess was powerful.

Link and the others also shared the news about Quicksand City with Ou Chen.

After finding out that the three powerful factions were capturing Stage Three and Stage Four [Doomsday Online] players in order to open the ruins, the people from the Temple of Light revealed shocked expressions.

"What? The three factions are actually plotting to do this? They are disregarding other people's lives for the sake of the ruins? This cannot be tolerated! It's no wonder we didn't receive any news for the past two days. Our Temple of Light scout must've fallen into their hands!"

"Brother Link, we cannot do nothing. We must not allow them to behave in this manner!" Ou Chen was filled with righteous indignation and appeared furious.

Link only nodded; he didn't say anything.

Although the big factions mostly sheltered and supported evil, Link understood the nature of the Temple of Light's Holy Son.

The Temple of Light's Holy Son wasn't pretending. His sense of justice was just stronger.

Even in the cruel apocalypse, Ou Chen was one of the few people with a heart of justice.

Wu Hao's expression changed. He wasn't as rash as Ou Chen, so he immediately frowned and said, "Holy Son, don't be impulsive. When the situation is like this, we must be vigilant."

Tian Mingyuan nodded and continued, "That's right. The three big factions have each sent a Stage Five powerhouse. If they act against us together, the consequences will be dire."

Both Elders had begun to think about it carefully, and they even had thoughts of retreating. After all, it was a tough fight to go against the three big factions with their current manpower.

They had come for the ruins. If they didn't get anything in the end and got themselves into trouble instead...

Both of them pondered over it, but they were unable to dissuade the Holy Son—who insisted on going to the Forest of Darkness.

Tian Mingyuan and Wu Hao could only give up and agree to go to the Forest of Darkness.

The reason behind this decision was mainly the fact that Link was with them. Due to this, their team wasn't considered weak.

The three big factions each had their thinking, and they were all working toward the same goal. Hence, they might still have a chance against them.

Moreover, there was no turning back. This opportunity to explore the ruins was hard to come by; there was no reason for the Temple of Light to miss it.

All of them were the few top powerhouses among the humans at this stage, and their physical qualities were extraordinary. They soon approached the mountain range where the Forest of Darkness was located.

Link—who had always been keenly observant—immediately realized that someone was watching them in the dark.

"There's a scout in the forest on the left," stated Link coldly.

Hearing that, Xue Linglong and the others grew vigilant.

The people from the Temple of Light also turned toward the left side in unison, prepared to fight.

And the scout—whom Jiang Wencheng had planted in the forest—had already reported Link and the others' location to him.

Seeing that he was discovered, he stopped hiding and walked out of the forest calmly. "Everyone, please don't be nervous. I don't mean any harm; I'm here to welcome you."

On the left side of the forest, a young man raised his hands up as he spoke, indicating that he meant no harm.

However, Link and the others clearly didn't trust him so easily, and they looked at him coldly.

Wu Hao questioned solemnly, "Who sent you here?"

That young man seemed extremely confident as he calmly said, "I'm from the Ancient Martial Alliance. I'm under the command of Star-rank powerhouse Jiang Wencheng. The reason why I'm here is to welcome everyone and to share the ruins within the Forest of Darkness."

Share the ruins? Ou Chen almost laughed. It is impossible for these people to be so kind.

Just as the young man spoke, the sound of wind gushing could be heard from within the forest. Several powerful auras were quickly approaching them.

"Someone is here!" Tian Mingyuan said solemnly, holding his staff tightly.

Wu Hao's expression became even more solemn as he held his saber, guarding the area beside Ou Chen.

Link remained calm and only looked in the direction of the approaching auras; his gaze was deep.

Soon, more than a few shadows appeared in front of them.

The leaders were Ancient Martial Alliance's Jiang Wencheng and Evil Sect's Zhu Changfeng.

The imposing Stage Five Star-rank auras emanated from the two of them without reservation!

It made the few Stage Four powerhouses from the Temple of Light's team feel palpitations and fear.

One should know that the difference between a Stage Four and a Stage Five was vast!

All Stage Five powerhouses had built their own domains and had a preliminary grasp of a nomological power. They had begun the climb to the stage of sanctification, and their auras were powerful enough to suppress an ordinary Stage Four powerhouse!

The foolish thing was that Ou Chen and Wu Hao had also taken a step forward and released their own auras, offsetting the other party's suppression.

Jiang Wencheng smiled to ease the somewhat gloomy atmosphere. "Haha. Everyone, please don't be on your guard. We are all here for the ruins, and we have no intention of hogging the ruins. We should all work together and share this ruin."

Zhu Changfeng nodded slowly and continued, "That's right. It's still a bit difficult to enter the ruins now, so we should focus on opening the ruins. You all might as well come with us to take a look near the ruins."

Both Jiang Wencheng and Zhu Changfeng appeared kind, looking as though they were going to share the ruins. However, the people from the Temple of Light were wary.

Wu Hao and Tian Mingyuan looked at each other, with signs of relief in their eyes. If they hadn't met Link and the others on the way, they would've been kept in the dark.

These two were clearly wolves in sheep's clothing!

Chapter 168: The Plot Was Exposed! Trick!

"Everyone, please." Jiang Wencheng smiled as he moved out of the way; he even made a welcoming gesture for them to enter.

With his handsome face, Jiang Wencheng indeed looked courteous.

If ordinary [Doomsday Online] players were treated in this manner by Star-rank powerhouses, they would definitely feel flattered and form a good impression of them.

But Link and the others—who had long known these people's true nature—sniggered in their hearts.

For a time, the Temple of Light's people and Link—along with his people—didn't move, making the atmosphere slightly awkward.

Several [Doomsday Online] players—who were following behind Jiang Wencheng—frowned upon seeing the others be so unappreciative. Their expressions were cold.

Jiang Wencheng—who felt like he was being embarrassed—sensed a flash of anger in his heart. However, his expression didn't change. He only smiled and slowly withdrew his hand.

At this moment, Link suddenly took a step forward. He looked at Wu Hao and Tian Mingyuan, and slightly amused, said, "Since it's hard to refuse such kindness, let's go."

These deep-rooted organizations that had many secrets were one of Link's targets. He wanted to see what they were up to.

After all, even a Stage Six monster—which was transformed from a Semi-Sage's spiritual imprint—was suppressed by Link. There weren't many who could threaten him.

Thus, Link appeared very calm and confident at this moment.

Wu Hao and Tian Mingyuan also nodded, and their expressions eased.

They hadn't even seen the ruins, so it would be unwise to break out into a conflict with each other directly.

Even if they were going to do anything, they had to understand the situation at the Forest of Darkness first before deciding what to do.

The people from the Temple of Light followed behind Link and the others and walked into the forest.

Seeing that the original stalemate was instantly dissolved by Link's words, Jiang Wencheng and Zhu Changfeng couldn't help but look at Link again, feeling slightly surprised.

This team should've been led by the two Stage Five powerhouses, but this young man seemed to carry a lot of weight among them.

But after sensing that Link was only Stage Four from his aura, the two immediately put their doubts behind them.

A mere Stage Four [Doomsday Online] player wasn't sufficient to pose a threat to them.

Even though this person's identity was somewhat special, the two didn't care at all. So what if he had killed a Stage Six monster? During such times, strength was the most important thing. Moreover, their background wasn't to be underestimated.

What Jiang Wencheng and Zhu Changfeng didn't expect was the real reason why Link carried a lot of weight among his team. It wasn't because of his special identity; rather, Link had won the respect of the Temple of Light's people with his strength during their previous cooperation.

Under the lead of Jiang Wencheng and the others, Link and the rest soon entered a camp.

Link and the others didn't see the [Doomsday Online] players that laid in all directions in the pit—which had mysterious lines and images drawn on it—at the bottom.

Jiang Wencheng and the others weren't fools. They naturally wouldn't expose it to outsiders so quickly.

And not far from the camp was an ancient stone monument, with many obscure and mysterious runes carved on it.

A vicissitudinous and grand aura rippled out from the stone monument, making it seem like a tombstone that had existed since before eternity.

In the center of the stone monument was a black hole—it seemed like something had to be put there to actually open the ruins.

Link looked at the boundary marker; his expression was indifferent, and he remained calm. The [Key of Relic]—which could open the ruins—was in his personal backpack at this moment.

A young man beside Jiang Wencheng pointed at the stone monument and said, "Everyone, this is the ruins' boundary monument. However, we cannot enter the ruins because we don't have the key."

This young man was also a member of Ancient Martial Alliance. His name was Zhao Qinghe; his rank was Stage Four, Level 7, and he was rather powerful.

After those words fell, Zhao Qinghe scanned Link and the others, smiled, and said, "But this is only temporary... As long as everyone is willing to cooperate, I believe that we will soon be able to open the entrance and divide the ruins."

"Oh, cooperate? What do you need us to do?" Tian Mingyuan narrowed his eyes and spoke slowly.

Zhu Changfeng—who was beside Zhao Qinghe—said, "A few of you should be aware that, if one wishes to open the ruins without the [Key of Relic, one can only forcefully break through the boundary guarding the ruins."

"We have an item named [Boundary Breaking Talisman, which can forcibly break open the ruins' boundary. But the conditions for using this item are somewhat harsh; it requires a lot of strength to activate it."

As he spoke, Zhu Changfeng took out a silver talisman.

This talisman was clearly not low-grade, and it was exceedingly extraordinary. The surface was glowing, and mysterious symbols appeared in the air when it was taken out!

"How about we inject power into this talisman together and open the ruins?" Zhu Changfeng said with a smile.

At the same time, Jiang Wencheng signaled a few subordinates to bring over a few crystals to hand over to Link and the others.

"Everyone just needs to inject their power into the crystals. When we have enough power, we will be able to activate the [Boundary Breaking Talisman]. I guarantee upon the Ancient Martial Alliance's credibility that we will let everyone enter the ruins together."

Link couldn't bear it anymore. These two big factions' acts were truly a bit clumsy.

Moreover, after entering the camp, Link had been somewhat informed of these factions' strength.

In addition to the Stage Five powerhouses in front of them, he could sense several surging auras in the camp. Star-rank powerhouses were apparently hiding within.

But just a few Star-rank powerhouses weren't enough to threaten Link. Hence, he immediately decided that he would stop pretending and would show his cards.

Looking at the white crystal-like crystals in his hands, Link laughed, amused. He waved his hands, and the crystals instantly became a ball of powder.

Link casually scattered the white powder into the air, which then fell from the sky.

This scene was clearly out of Jiang Wencheng and Zhu Changfeng's expectations. They never expected Link to do something like that, and their eyes twitched vigorously.

"What are you doing? It's not easy to forge such crystals that can hold power!" After a brief moment of shock, Zhu Changfeng's face sank. He coldly glared at Link, who had crushed the crystals.

Jiang Wencheng's expression changed as well. He was already burning inside, and he finally exploded at this moment. He sneered. "Friend, are you looking down on our Ancient Martial Alliance?!"

Swords were instantly drawn, and the atmosphere was tense.

Jiang Wencheng's robe fluttered without the presence of wind. The terrifying pressure emitted by a Stage Five Star-rank powerhouse rushing toward Link like a vast river.

Seeing this, Tian Mingyuan and the others stopped pretending and threw away the crystals in their hands.

Holy Son Ou Chen even stepped forward and stood in front of Link with his Stage Five aura to fight against Jiang Wencheng! "You people are up to no good! You are probably waiting for us to inject our power into the crystals and attack us while we're weak!"

Chapter 169: Soul Summoning Bell! Counter!

Hearing Ou Chen's words, Jiang Wencheng and Zhu Changfeng's eyes flickered, but they didn't rush to refute him.

In their opinion, Link and the others—who had entered the camp—were already fish on the chopping board. They had no choice but to be slaughtered by them.

They no longer needed to make up a story, and they had no need to refute anything.

Jiang Wencheng scrutinized Ou Chen, looking at him up and down, and said with a smile, "Yes, it seems like you knew of our plan."

"Let me think about it; when did we slip up?" Jiang Wencheng muttered to himself, turning his head to ask a subordinate. "Are all the teams I sent back?"

The young man named Zhao Qinghe thought for a while and then shook his head. He said respectfully, "The vast majority of the teams have returned. Only one team from Quicksand City hasn't returned. They were sent to Unfallen City."

Jiang Wencheng's eyes glinted. "Oh, my team was intercepted by you then? No wonder."

Jiang Wencheng took a step forward and stared at Ou Chen. "How dare you intercept and kill the people from Ancient Martial Alliance? You are bold!"

With those cold words, Jiang Wencheng's warm smile had long since disappeared. What was left was heart-palpitating killing intent!

Jiang Wencheng's gaze was piercing as he scanned Link and the others. His eyes were full of unconcealed coldness as if the people in front of him were already corpses.

Wu Hao stood beside Ou Chen, and a sword suddenly appeared in his hand.

The blade's cold light gleamed in the sun; it was obviously a powerful piece of equipment!

Wu Hao didn't say anything and merely remained silent. His pair of tiger eyes narrowed slightly, and the muscles under his clothes tensed. He was like a wild beast that was about to attack at any time!

Both sides had dropped all pretenses, and he was ready to fight!

In fact, whether it was Ou Chen or Wu Hao, as Stage Five star-rank powerhouses, both had already stood out in front of everyone. They wanted to protect everyone with their own strength.

The auras of Stage Five Star-rank powerhouses swirled, bringing up the dust on the ground!

Two Stage Five powerhouses were a force that couldn't be underestimated! But Jiang Wencheng and Zhu Changfeng still looked confident and unafraid. It was as though they were sure they would defeat Ou Chen and the others.

Jiang Wencheng sneered and said, "Two Star-rank powerhouses? Not bad, it seems that you have some power. However, no matter how powerful you are, you're still in trouble today! Do you think we only prepared a few stones to store magic power?"

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Changfeng was already laughing evilly. His laughter was full of mockery.

The people from the Temple of Light shuddered, and their expressions instantly became tense.

Even Wu Hao and Ou Chen—both Stage Five powerhouses—had serious expressions on their faces.

What other plot does the other party have?

This question flashed in their minds, but the staff in Zhu Changfeng's hand had already abruptly hit the ground before they could get an answer.

The bell hanging on the staff rang suddenly!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The ringing sound was faint and strange. It seemed to come from the sky, but it also seemed to ring in everyone's ears!

Suddenly, strange circular ripples rippled from the bell and swept toward Ou Chen and the others!

Tian Mingyuan and the other powerhouses from the Temple of Light suddenly turned pale!

As the bell rang, something in their minds seemed to be suddenly aroused!

Not only did their heads hurt like needles were sticking into them, but even their consciousness was gradually dissipating. They felt as if they were about to lose control of their bodies!

As the Temple of Light's Stage Five powerhouses, Wu Hao and Ou Chen had higher resistance than Tian Mingyuan and the others. However, they also were having a hard time.

"There's something wrong with the ringing! Seal your hearing!" Wu Hao roared and smacked his ears with his hands. With a sliver of power, he shattered his eardrums!

By doing this, he completely isolated himself from that strange ringing's influence.

Wu Hao then jumped out like a ferocious beast. The ground shattered under his feet, and cracks spread out like a spider web.

The saber tore through the air, causing a sonic boom!

"Glorious Slash!" Wu Hao roared, apparently having activated his skill!

A dazzling glow shot out from the longsword in his hand. It became more and more astonishing as if it were going to shear the mountain and cut the Hengjiang river!

And his target was Zhu Changfeng from the Evil Sect!

Faced with this fierce offense, both Zhu Changfeng and Jiang Wencheng's faces flashed with surprise. However, they quickly regained their composure.

Zhu Changfeng didn't even move at all. He just looked at Wu Hao in amusement—who was hurtling toward him!

Zhu Changfeng's wrist shook fiercely, and the ringing sound became more rapid, sounding like the howling of a thousand ghosts!

Wu Hao's figure suddenly stopped in the air. A bloody mist gushed out of his mouth, and his body heavily fell to the ground as if he had been hit hard!

Zhu Changfeng looked at Wu Hao—who was lying in front of him—with a cruel smile on his face, appearing like a cat toying with a mouse. "You're so cruel and decisive. You shattered your eardrums just to avoid the ringing. It's a pity that this ringing is not just a sound wave but also a mental shock. Shattering your eardrums will not help!"

In fact, while heading deeper into the Forest of Darkness, Zhu Changfeng had already been exerting his control on Link and the others.

The ringing sound caused by movement wasn't noticeable at all, but it was carefully planned by him!

Every ring of the bell was like an imprint that hid in people's minds. For the time being, they stayed hidden but laid in wait quietly, waiting for the moment when the killing intent appeared!

The moment Wu Hao threw himself out, he realized that the bell still rang in his mind. He was unable to stop it. However, he could only do his best to use his skills to kill Zhu Changfeng.

But as Wu Hao approached the sound source, his skills were interrupted, and he even suffered backlash!

All of this happened in an instant.

Everyone's hearts sank; a wave of cold surged into their chests, and they felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave!

"Elder Wu!" The Temple of Light's Holy Son—Ou Chen's eyes suddenly turned red. Although he sometimes hated the Elders' control, he had feelings for them.

Upon seeing Elder Wu vomiting blood and falling to the ground, Ou Chen felt as if he had taken a fierce stab to the heart at this moment!

"Enjoy the despair, everyone. Rest assured, we will not kill you. Your lives are precious; you still have to open the entrance to the ruins!" Jiang Wencheng sneered.

But he and Zhu Changfeng were soon unable to continue laughing. Instead, they stood there dumbfounded. This was because the scene before them was beyond their expectations.

They saw Link calmly walking toward them as if he were completely unaffected by the ringing!

Moreover, the glamorous woman behind Link was calm as well!

In an instant, the [King's Sword] appeared in Link's hands!

Chapter 170: Ringing Immunity! Monster!

The surface of the icy longsword pulsated with a cold light, and indescribable dominance and majesty rippled from Link's body!

Link no longer hid; the aura emitting from him still hadn't reached Stage Five, but everything seemed to be different from just a few seconds ago!

His white robe fluttered, giving off an otherworldly appearance. His slender body stood proudly like a long spear directly pointing at the space toward the sky; he looked as though he wanted to compete with heaven itself!

This was the viciousness and aloofness of the Asura Summoner, which resulted from wandering the wilderness alone in his previous life!

This terrifying aura was condensed by killing countless monsters and enemies!

Viciousness, murderous intent, majesty, aloofness, and arrogance—all kinds of aura had fused into one, condensing into an aura that uniquely belonged to Link!

Link walked forward slowly, but this single action brought Zhu Changfeng and Jiang Wencheng a great sense of oppression and danger!

At this moment, the hair on their backs stood up as if a terrifying beast was staring at them! They were like deer encountering a tiger—the fish or shrimp encountering the dragon!

But even they themselves didn't know why they would feel this way about a Stage Four [Doomsday Online] player!

Zhu Changfeng's face was full of shock. The cruel smile on his face hadn't completely receded. And now, this smile was frozen on his face, looking quite comical...

Jiang Wencheng stared at Link, stunned. His eyes widened slightly as if he were looking at a monster.

The several Stage Four powerhouses—who followed behind them—even felt a sense of suffocation. Link's aura instilled a sense of fear in them, causing their hearts to shrink fiercely!

What the heck! Why isn't this kid and that glamorous woman playing their cards according to common sense?!

This wasn't the first time they had seen Zhu Changfeng use this mental shock attack, but it was the first time that someone wasn't affected at all!

"What the hell is going on? Why aren't they affected?" Jiang Wencheng glanced at Zhu Changfeng, eager to get an explanation.

However, Zhu Changfeng was also full of question marks at this time! He really wanted to reply: You are asking me? Damn it, I myself want to know the reason too!

This made no sense!

He had clearly planted spiritual imprints on these people on the way here, and the arrangement he had just activated was [Soul Summoning Bell, which even Stage Five Star-rank powerhouses couldn't resist!

But upon seeing this pair of man and woman acting so indifferent, how could they not be surprised?

What's more, not only was Zhu Changfeng astonished, but he was also at a slight loss of what to do now!

The sight before them was just too weird!

At this moment, everyone from the Temple of Light was also a little confused and stunned. Of course, there were three weaker members who had lost consciousness and fainted on the ground. They didn't even see the scene of Link walking out.

Only a few people like Tian Mingyuan and Ou Chen—who were still clenching their teeth and persevering—managed to witness all of this!

A huge boulder seemed to be thrown down into the lake of their hearts, setting off a huge tsunami!

Tian Mingyuan felt that his thinking couldn't catch up with the facts. What's happening? Link wasn't affected? Could it be that this is his trump card?!

Ou Chen—who thought that his strength had surpassed Link and that he finally had a chance to protect Link and the others—felt even more complicated emotions in his heart.

Link's back view was reflected in his eyes; it was extremely solid and tall like an unattainable mountain, looking more and more unfathomable!

But even though they were shocked, Jiang Wencheng and the others didn't stop. Instead, they quickly recovered.

"Although I don't know what means they used to stay awake, just the two of them... aren't enough to escape from my palm..." In order to save his dignity, Zhu Changfeng said this quickly, but he didn't seem to have very much confidence.

Zhu Changfeng's arms shook again, and the bell hanging from the staff shook more violently.

A gray mist even appeared on the surface of the bell. This made it look as though thumb-sized human faces seemed to be emerging from the mist, wailing tragically...

The ringing was like a scream, eerie and sharp!

Even Ou Chen couldn't hold on any longer. His eyes went dark, and he fell to the ground, only barely managing to stay conscious.

But Link and Luo Haoyue still looked calm as ever.

Mental shock attacks were indeed hard to guard against and hard to avoid, especially Zhu Changfeng's method of using bell ringing as a means to imprint people and then detonating them instantly.

But for the two of them... Link had the [Fearless] passive, allowing him to resist most mental attacks.

The other, Luo Haoyue, was the God of Evil's heir. Thus, her mental resistance was far beyond that of ordinary players. Her own existence was enough to make people crazy, so she didn't fear a mere mental shock at all!

Upon seeing the two of them remain unmoved, Zhu Changfeng's face became even uglier!

[Soul Summoning Bell] was his most practiced skill; each time he used this skill, it always worked. But now, Link's reaction caused him to receive 10,000 points of critical damage! Even his face seemed to hurt a bit as if he were slapped several times on both sides.

However, Link obviously didn't intend to let Zhu Changfeng ring the bell any longer. Sharp sword energy rippled out from the [King's Sword] in his hand!

Fierce sword intent rose to the sky and broke apart the clouds in the sky!

The [Spring and Autumn Sword Technique] was launched!

Rays of sword light engulfed the surging sword energy and slapped toward Zhu Changfeng like a tide!

The sword light and sword energy hadn't arrived yet, but Zhu Changfeng had already felt a sharpness that pierced his skin!

His heart instantly shuddered. This young man is obviously only Stage Four, but this attack's intensity is almost comparable to, or even surpassing, a Stage Five Star-rank powerhouse!

Zhu Changfeng couldn't care about continuing to cast [Soul Summoning Bell]. He quickly drew out a talisman from his sleeve.

The talisman ignited in the wind and burst into bright golden light!

In an instant, a huge golden barrier was formed, protecting Zhu Changfeng within it!

Boom!

A huge explosion sounded!

The huge barrier blocked this fierce attack, but it also collapsed and dissipated under the sword light.

The talisman that Zhu Changfeng took out turned into ashes, and he couldn't help feeling a little heart pain.

It should be noted that this talisman was an item made by a high-level Craftsman in Evil Sect. It should be able to resist attacks for up to one minute, but its entire energy reserve was depleted after blocking one attack from Link.

This kind of protective talisman was quite rare. Even he—an Elder of Evil Sect—also didn't have many!

"Damn it!" Zhu Changfeng gritted his teeth and said, "Sect Master Jiang, what are you waiting for? Let's kill this person together!"

Ancient Martial Alliance's highest leader was called Alliance Master. Most of the sect's members called themselves disciples, and for people like Jiang Wencheng—a Star-rank powerhouse with a certain status—they were called Sect Masters.

Jiang Wencheng originally planned to let this weird kid consume Zhu Changfeng's energy as much as possible. After all, they were only in a superficial alliance. They actually had their own thoughts and plans.

But since Zhu Changfeng had already called out to him, he wouldn't be able to justify his actions if he still didn't help out.

The next moment, Jiang Wencheng's figure flew out like an eagle falcon, and he slapped at Link's face with his palm!

The air was directly compressed and exploded by this palm, causing a vacuum to form. There was even an awe-inspiring aura in the whistling wind!

Before the apocalypse, as the heir of ancient martial arts, Jiang Wencheng practiced the Swimming Eight Trigram Palm. His awakened profession in the apocalypse was also related to this.

With this palm, it was like a mountain was pressing down on Link, and the sense of this palm's power was overwhelming!

If this palm landed, even the heads of Stage Four, Level 10 powerhouses would explode like rotten watermelons!

Chapter 171: The Hanged Man! Child of Heaven Kneels!

Jiang Wencheng struck fiercely, and the subordinates—who followed him—all showed excited smiles.

In their opinion, although this kid in front of them was quite weird, he was only a Stage Four player after all. Even if he was stronger than them, there should still be a limit to his strength, and he definitely wouldn't be able to resist a Star-rank powerhouse's attack!

Link's hair was sent flying when the palm wind hit, but there wasn't the slightest hint of panic on his face. His eyes were still as plain as water, without the slightest ripple.

Facing those unusually calm eyes, Jiang Wencheng felt an inexplicable chill...

Could it be that this person still has a trump card left? His thoughts flashed past, but Jiang Wencheng added a bit more strength to his palm instead, intent on killing Link with this attack!

Only amusement was left in Link's heart at this moment.

The other party didn't even use his domain, which was truly being overconfident when in front of him. Link wasn't an ordinary Stage Four powerhouse.

I really am being underestimated? Link instantly triggered [Pseudo?Hanged Man]'s skill.

[Hanged Man?Upright] activated!

Link could use a medium (the target's hair, blood, etc.) to complete the ritual. After that, he could transfer the damage he suffered to the target!

As for the medium... Link had already obtained it, which was Jiang Wencheng's hair!

Knowing that Jiang Wencheng and the others were going to harm them, Link had naturally prepared himself.

On the way, Zhu Changfeng took the opportunity to influence Link and the others. At the same time, Link also obtained a strand of hair from Zhu Changfeng and Jiang Wencheng without leaving a trace.

Of course, Link didn't bother to collect mediums of their subordinates.

Stage Four players—who could be crushed to death at will—weren't worth his attention. Only Stage Five Star-rank powerhouses could be worthy of entering Link's eyes.

A sonic boom sounded, but Link didn't move at all. In Zhu Changfeng and the others' eyes, it seemed like Link had become dumb from shock.

But the sight of an exploding head—which they had anticipated—didn't appear. Instead, it was the aggressive Jiang Wencheng whose face instantly turned red. It then turned into a crimson-purple!

As if someone had hit him hard on the top of his head, Jiang Wencheng's flowing black hair exploded. His eyes suddenly turned black, and his figure plummeted onto the ground!

After all, Jiang Wencheng was an heir of ancient martial arts. Fighting had become muscle memory to him, so his body instinctively started to transfer the attack's energy away.

Boom!

The ground under his feet was directly crushed by him, and he ended up kneeling on the ground. He smashed onto the ground heavily, almost falling down entirely!

The power of this palm really wasn't little, but it was a pity that Jiang Wencheng shot himself in the foot!

Jiang Wencheng spat out blood and saw gold stars in front of him!

Lucky for him, he was already quite powerful, and he had been on alert at all times to guard against Link's possible counter-attack. Therefore, he was able to resist in time, transferring the attack's energy away as best he could.

If not, his palm attack might've pressed his own head into his chest!

Even so, Jiang Wencheng was still heavily injured. His brain was like a paste; Jiang Wencheng felt like he was about to fall unconscious!

And the other people watching the battle were even more bewildered—all of them were stunned!

They didn't even see Link make a move; they only saw Jiang Wencheng strike with his palm, and then...

Then, Jiang Wencheng himself kneeled!

Zhu Changfeng and the others almost cursed. This really is too weird, isn't it?

What the hell?!

It's fine if he attacked as he wished, but why did he kneel down? Did he suddenly realize that they are family or something?

The crucial point was—this kid is so young! It's impossible for him to have a child as old as Jiang Wencheng!

Zhu Changfeng even had a faint suspicion that Jiang Wencheng communicated with this kid beforehand. They are just acting in front of me now, right?

But at this moment, Jiang Wencheng's mouthful of blood and chaotic breath couldn't be faked.

Everyone could only accept the facts in front of them.

At this instant, their eyes—which were looking at Link—changed.

If it could be said that they were surprised Link could resist the mental shock just now, then it could now be said that they were faintly fearful of Link!

After all, his method of attack was really incredible!

Standing behind Link, Luo Haoyue had a thoughtful look as she spoke with emotion. "Lord Envoy, this is the so-called 'defeating others without fighting,' right?"

After being transformed into the God of Evil's heir, Luo Haoyue had lost many memories.

In order for her to integrate into human society as soon as possible—or to prevent her from causing harm to the people in Unfallen City at least—Link asked her to read more books.

Right now, it could be regarded as Luo Haoyue applying what she had learned.

Upon hearing Luo Haoyue's words, Zhu Changfeng and the others felt more and more complicated emotions...

What the hell? Is the phrase 'defeating people without fighting' referring to a situation like this?

As for Jiang Wencheng—who was kneeling on the ground and barely maintaining his sanity—his heart almost stopped functioning upon hearing this. He also almost spewed out a big mouthful of blood again!

Link ignored Zhu Changfeng and his group's crazily changing faces, and he just stepped on Jiang Wencheng's chest.

Jiang Wencheng—who was already on his knees—was directly pushed onto the ground under his feet. He could no longer restrain the blood surging inside his body and spewed out a large mouthful of blood. He then directly passed out and entered a coma.

Link didn't continue to act against Jiang Wencheng, who had completely lost his combat effectiveness. It wasn't that he took pity on Jiang Wencheng, but rather, Link still had use for him.

Jiang Wencheng could now be considered a bargaining chip in his hand.

Link slowly raised the sword's tip and pointed it at Zhu Changfeng.

Zhu Changfeng instantly trembled, almost throwing out the staff in his hand.

He was still preparing a magic technique just now, intending to unexpectedly throw it out when Jiang Wencheng and Link were fighting.

But who would have thought that the battle would end so soon; his spellcasting immediately stopped...

Looking at the indifferent young man, Zhu Changfeng felt a little fearful in his heart. After all, the opponent's ability was really weird. Even after this battle, he didn't obtain any useful information.

He was really afraid that the kid would also give him that weird defeat without actually fighting.

Zhu Changfeng's throat squirmed, and he swallowed with difficulty. However, he still pretended to be calm and said, "You must not be arrogant, young man! You have already attracted public anger, and the three major forces definitely will not let you off!"

"Really?" Link smiled indifferently and said, "Stop pretending; you have already urgently contacted the other Stage Five powerhouses in the camp, right?"

Zhu Changfeng's complexion suddenly stiffened.

Indeed, after discovering that the young man in front of him might pose a huge threat, he had reached inside his shirt and smashed the communication talisman in his pocket.

Evil Sect's hidden powerhouses would come soon.

In fact, Zhu Changfeng believed that, other than Evil Sect, the Star-rank powerhouses of Ancient Martial Alliance and Martial God Hall would be unable to sit still as well!

And this was the result that Link wanted.

The three major forces' members here were one of his goals in the first place!

Zhu Changfeng said, "That's right! The three major forces' elites are gathered here. Just talking about Stage Five powerhouses, there are at least five or six of them here. You guys definitely won't be able to escape!"

"If you are smart enough, you'd better be obedient and let yourself be caught so that you won't need to suffer later!"

At this time, a series of powerful auras suddenly rose up from the camp!

Those Stage Five powerhouses—who were originally hidden or previously hadn't paid attention to the situation here—all moved!

Chapter 172: Suppress the Enemy in the Flip of a Hand! Blood Eyes!

Sensing the majestic auras rushing toward this spot rapidly, the confidence in Zhu Changfeng's heart suddenly increased by quite a bit.

His expression quickly turned calm again, with wisps of obscure light blooming from his staff. It should be the young man in front of me that should worry about his own safety now!

What Zhu Changfeng had to do was not let this person escape. Once the other powerhouses arrived, they would encircle and kill him!

Link was well aware of what Zhu Changfeng was thinking and just smiled. Exerting strength with his foot, he stepped on Jiang Wencheng's chest again.

Pu!

A dull voice sounded, and sand and debris splattered!

Jiang Wencheng's body had been embedded into the ground, and even a low-stage [Doomsday Online] player might not be able to dig him out...

"Watch over this person properly," Link said lightly to Luo Haoyue.

The longsword in his hand was then swung again, and the biting sword light once again tore through space, making a sharp explosive sound!

Zhu Changfeng's staff also suddenly waved. The trash talk just now was to bid time to channel this skill.

In an instant, gray streamers burst out from the bell, and a gloomy aura swept through the place immediately!

The domain—which uniquely belonged to Zhu Changfeng—also spread quickly!

Amidst the bell's howl-like ringing, the gray mist quickly spread through the area, obscuring everyone's sight as it rendered this place into a ghost-like domain!

[Ghost Mist] was the name Zhu Changfeng gave to his domain.

Those caught in his domain would be affected by the gray mist. Not only would their vision be blocked, but the ghost mist would also constantly attack them.

This kind of attack didn't only affect the body but also the spirit. If his enemies stayed in the ghost mist for a long time, they would completely lose their sanity. All of their flesh and blood would also become fertilizer for nourishing the ghost mist!

Zhu Changfeng and Jiang Wencheng's subordinates all felt a chill in their hearts, and the feeling of danger on their backs made all their hair stand up!

They instinctively feared the mist!

The gray streamers converged in the mist, forming clusters of aggregates. These were three evil ghost skulls, each measuring nearly two meters in length!

The huge evil ghost skulls were composed of dense thumb-sized human faces. What's more, each face was different, and they were all wailing in pain!

After all, Zhu Changfeng was a Stage Five powerhouse from the Evil Sect. He was a child of heaven-like character that countless players needed to look up to. When he went all out, his power couldn't be underestimated!

Just at this moment.

The three evil ghost skulls and the ghost mist domain had appeared only for a short moment, and the sword light that Link had created also arrived!

Chi Chi!

The sword light struck one of the skulls, cutting through it like a hot knife cutting butter. After that, the slashed skull instantly started to emit black smoke non-stop!

Two skulls were torn apart by the sword light in quick succession, and the surging gray mist then consumed the sword light's remaining energy.

The last evil spirit's skull didn't even attack Link but pounced on Wu Hao—who was lying on the ground—instead.

Compared to Link, Wu Hao was obviously an easier target!

And this was where Zhu Changfeng's shrewdness lied; he wasn't a reckless man.

The [Ring of Teleportation] on Link's finger faintly flashed with silver light, and his figure suddenly disappeared in place.

When he reappeared, Link had already appeared in front of Wu Hao. The skull of the evil spirit that pounced here was then shattered by a casual swing of the sword.

But at this moment, Link was also deeply trapped within Zhu Changfeng's domain. He was surrounded by a thick gray mist that couldn't be dispersed, and he could no longer see Zhu Changfeng's figure.

Only the sharp ringing in his ears reminded Link that the other party was still there.

But even the bell's ringing was extremely subtle, sounding as if it came from all directions. This made it impossible for a person to find the bell's exact location by listening to the sound.

Link had also felt the domain's influence acting on him. The gray mist was constantly invading his body in small portions.

His hands and feet gradually became cold and numb, and it was foreseeable that he would fall into a dilemma where he would be at the mercy of others if he couldn't break out of the domain quickly.

Link had Zhu Changfeng's hair in his hand, but he didn't activate the Hanged Man card's skills immediately. Although the Hanged Man card's abilities were unbelievably powerful, continuously using them within a short time would consume more and more energy from him, especially when it came to the gray mist's continuous damage.

Even with Link's mental strength—which far surpassed that of those in the same stage—he would also be overwhelmed if he endured it for a long period of time.

But he was obviously not someone who could be easily restrained by just one domain.

Link had already killed a lot of opponents that possessed domains.

Link took out a demon eyeball covered with dark-red bloodshot eyes from his individual backpack.

It was the aberrated item that he obtained from Jiang Cheng and blessed—[Tainted Demon Eye].

The [Tainted Blood Pupil] skill was activated in an instant!

Suddenly, a cold wind seemed to be blowing from behind the necks of Evil Sect's and Ancient Martial Alliance's members.

This was a powerful AoE skill, and even Zhu Changfeng—who was hiding in the ghost mist—also felt this wind.

And this was far from over; they also felt a sense of being peeped at!

It was as if some kind of extremely terrifying and evil thing was watching them, making them become uncontrollably nervous. Their hearts had risen to their throats!

Even faint blasphemous murmurs started to sound in their ears, arousing the most primitive fear in their hearts!

But when they abruptly turned their heads back, they couldn't find the peeper at all. They could only see a huge scarlet eyeball at the corner of their eyes...

No matter how they turned their heads, that huge and evil eyeball was always in a position that could be glimpsed from the corner of their eyes.

There wasn't the slightest difference in distance, and there were no other changes at all...

A terrified scream suddenly sounded, and a Stage Four player with low mental strength even peed on the spot!

This was the first time that this group of Evil Sect and Ancient Martial Alliance members had encountered such a strange scene.

The pollution and madness contained in the aberrated equipment were difficult for them to resist, and some of the players' eyes even started to lose focus as they murmured along with the sound in their ears.

Squirming bulges appeared on their bodies as if something was about to break out from their skin!

Even Zhu Changfeng—who was proficient in mental attacks—was also trapped in fear at this moment, and his body was forcefully stiffened!

Thus, his domain's effects instantly weakened, and the gray mist became thinner and thinner...

Link passed through the thin mist indifferently and walked up to Zhu Changfeng.

But before he could make a move, Zhu Changfeng—who had finally recovered from his stiffness—turned his head toward Link. He had an exceedingly horrified expression as if he had seen something extremely terrifying!

Shuddering, Zhu Changfeng discarded his staff, tightly covered his face with his hands, and actually dropped to the ground!

Defeating the enemy without fighting x2.

"..." Link didn't expect that the aberrated equipment, [Tainted Demon Eye, would be so effective.

Obviously, this result was probably because these people had just encountered this kind of attack for the first time. The effects of the first experience were often more profound.

Even a Stage Five Mage like Zhu Changfeng couldn't resist the corrosion of fear and madness!

Chapter 173: Carried to a Win? Powerhouses Come Forth Together!

Link wasn't civil either; he landed a kick on Zhu Changfeng's body.

Zhu Changfeng had a Mage profession after all. His mental strength was considerably higher than that of Fighter players, so he would probably break out of that state in a while.

This Evil Sect elder was like a sandbag; he flew several meters away with a kick from Link...

Zhu Changfeng's body was still a good deal weaker than that of Jiang Wencheng; otherwise, he wouldn't have prepared those protective talismans.

Link's attributes were higher to begin with. As the kick landed, Zhu Changfeng let out a piteous shriek and directly blacked out, becoming completely unconscious.

This battle was very... brief. So much so that Zhu Changfeng didn't even hang on till the multiple dominant auras' arrival.

Up till now, Link had yet to go all out. Even Yuna and God Devourer Ant hadn't been summoned to fight. It could be said that Link was merely warming up before exploring the historical ruin.

A Star-rank powerhouse of the Evil Sect, an existence that countless people looked up to... When put before Link, they weren't even qualified to have Link strike with his best!

It was just like how Zhu Changfeng, Jiang Wencheng, and the others brought Link to the campsite and then orderly presented their heads.

It was difficult to estimate how great the psychological trauma that these two Star-rank powerhouses had suffered.

Of course, Link didn't really kill them.

It wasn't because he was being merciful; having lived two lifetimes as a human, Link was never soft-hearted. He simply still had some use for them.

After that, Link sat on a wooden stool, silently waiting for the three major factions' powerhouses to arrive.

Luo Haoyue easily took care of the remaining group of Evil Sect and Ancient Martial Alliance Stage Four players, not requiring Link to act.

Those with weak willpower and had aberrated due to their inability to resist the pollution were dragged into the abyss-like shadows by the distorted spider shadows. Whereas the remaining people were wrapped into balls using the firm spider silk, only leaving their heads exposed. They were then neatly piled up.

Presently, Ou Chen, the Temple of Light members, Xue Linglong, and the others had gradually broken away from the mental impact's influence and sobered up.

Among them, as his capabilities had reached Stage Five Star-rank, Ou Chen had recovered the fastest. He had more or less spectated the entire battle.

Right now, Ou Chen was looking at those captives—who had been piled together neatly. The corner of his lips couldn't stop twitching...

Good lad! Even a chatterbox like him was actually speechless now... This was truly because the impact that Link gave him was too great!

Originally, Ou Chen had thought that he and his company were doomed. Even if he were to expose all of his trump cards, they would have to go through a painful fight before he could barely cover the minority as they escape.d

But when Link came forward, everything before his eyes changed instantly... So much so that Ou Chen was still in disbelief; he just found it absurd!

Those were Stage Five Star-rank powerhouses, children of heaven that had started the climb to the stage of sanctification!

Ou Chen had never heard of a Stage Four powerhouse being able to defeat two Stage Five powerhouses. He had then witnessed Link completely thrashing Star-rank powerhouses today...

And he just needed to lie on the ground...

These people were easily suppressed by Link, and they had almost no way of fighting back. It could be said that this experience had refreshed Ou Chen's values and outlook!

Link is ultimately still the older brother! He is virtually... brutal!

After regaining consciousness, the others were also at a loss about what to do about the scene before them. Of course, they mainly felt confused and puzzled by the pile of well-arranged captives.

Our side had been set up; how did we just win all of a sudden?

Xue Linglong and the others were slightly better. Their psychological endurance had been steeled by Link and had become very strong. It could be said that almost everyone was cool in the face of danger.

Upon seeing the sight before them, they quietly moved to stand behind Link, awaiting their City Master's orders.

Meanwhile, a considerable number of Temple of Light members lacked this calm.

Everyone stared at one another. There were Priest players—who used healing spells for the masses; then, they quickly questioned one another about what had happened.

"Why have all these people been bundled into balls?"

"I don't know!"

"Did His Highness save us?"

"His Highness is indeed powerful after advancing to Stage Five! He is truly reputed to be the man who is qualified to attain sanctification in my Temple of Light!"

The Temple of Light members speculated as they directed their gazes toward Ou Chen in undesigned agreement.

Ou Chen was currently watching the pile of captives with mixed feelings, and that somewhat desolate, 'did-not-manage-to-help' back view appeared to be tall and lonely in the eyes of the Temple of Light's people.

"The Holy Son is so powerful; is he feeling sad for the enemies? It is indeed the woe of those people to be born in the same generation as the Holy Son!" said a Temple of Light member.

Somebody retorted, "No, the Holy Son is feeling lonely—the loneliness of being too high up!"

Ou Chen: "..."

He really could not stand to listen on; his entire face was clouded... The situation before us clearly has absolutely nothing to do with me, alright!?

Ou Chen had thought that Link and the others would come forward to explain things. In the end, Link totally couldn't be bothered to do so. Xue Linglong and the rest were even watching with great interest.

Ou Chen couldn't help but roar, "It's not me, it's Brother Link. He easily suppressed two Stage Five powerhouses, and I was still lying on the ground at that point!"

The Temple of Light crowd was dazed for a moment, and then everyone broke out into laughter.

Someone even gave Ou Chen a meaningful glance. "We understand! The Holy Son is refusing to take credit; he's really too humble!"

"How could a Stage Four powerhouse suppress a Star-rank powerhouse? Two of them at that! Holy Son, you are too humble!"

The Temple of Light's people clearly didn't believe Ou Chen's words.

Ou Chen felt that the size of his psychological trauma was probably about the same as that of those captives.

"Holy Son, the corner of your lips are twitching really violently. Were you injured in the fight earlier?" someone asked concernedly.

"Holy Son, your face is really grim, but you appear to be even more dignified now!"

Ou Chen was almost unable to contain himself; he was about to fly into a rage then and there!

Meanwhile, the two elders—Tian Mingyuan and Wu Hao—were extremely sober. They knew what their Holy Son was capable of.

The scene before them certainly wasn't something the Holy Son could achieve. Hence, they directed their grateful gazes at Link.

"Many thanks, Little Brother Link. This is the second time my Temple of Light has received your kindness; we will certainly remember this great kindness in our hearts!" Wu Hao said with emotion.

Link only nodded slightly. "It's nothing."

Both Tian Mingyuan and Wu Hao's faces were slightly hot.

They originally wanted to protect Link, but Link carried them into victory in the end... They were also even more sure that Link absolutely wasn't an ordinary person.

The Temple of Light must stay on friendly terms with such a powerhouse and build a deep friendship!

At the same time, streams of vigorous auras rippled outward at the area!

Those Star-rank powerhouses at the campsite—who hadn't shown themselves previously—arrived as a group!

Strong pressure instantly swept through the area; the frightening suppression felt as if tempestuous tides were pushing toward them!

The crowd of Temple of Light Stage Four powerhouses was pale as a strong sense of suffocation surged into their hearts!

Chapter 174: The Holy Son Takes the Blame! Shock!

Four figures broke through the air and arrived at the area. Their suppression was like the sea; waves of air blasts burst out, sweeping in all directions—the impetus was extraordinary!

Powerhouses that had reached Stage Five could be termed 'non-human' to a certain extent.

With the help of various means and skills, these people possessed extremely terrifying destructibility—they could destroy one small town alone!

Four figures, four Star-rank, child of heaven-like powerhouses... Including Jiang Wencheng and Zhu Changfeng, the three major factions had each sent two top powerhouses to vie for the historical ruin—one in the light and one in the dark.

They had made ample preparations. However, these four superior existences—which countless low-level [Doomsday Online] players could only look up to—were dumbstruck altogether.

There was no other reason; it was truly because the scene before their eyes was too unexpected!

How did the two Stage Five powerhouses on our side just get defeated?

They have even been bundled into balls and tossed aside?

The countenances of two men turned grim at once—they were the hidden powerhouses of Ancient Martial Alliance and Evil Sect.

As Stage Five powerhouses of major factions, they regarded themselves as humanity's top talents. They were extremely arrogant, even a little conceited.

The scene before their eyes was no different from harshly slapping their faces several times—it was practically a terrible humiliation!

The countenances of another pair—male and female—were also exceptionally ghastly.

Actually, they had not spent much time rushing here. Although the campsite was large, rushing over was just a matter of a few minutes.

But within those few minutes, Jiang Wencheng and Zhu Changfeng had undergone changes in appearance; it was truly surprising.

The three major factions had formed an alliance, and they were bound together for good or ill. These latecomers' acts were undoubtedly provoking all of them!

"How bold! Are you taking advantage that there's nobody here for my Ancient Martial Alliance?" A middle-aged powerhouse was the first to yell, his icy eyes glaring fixedly at Ou Chen.

If gazes could kill, Ou Chen probably would've been sliced into eight pieces by him!

Ou Chen: "..."

This person was clearly also a capable one among the Stage Five existences. He was a powerhouse that was at least above Stage Five, Level 6. The suppression was so strong that even Ou Chen felt a little uncomfortable.

Most importantly, who have I provoked? Everything before their eyes is the work of Link, all right? I laid on the ground throughout the entire course of things, yet I can incur so much hate? Who else but me!?

Ou Chen wasn't a pushover. Anger surged in his chest, and he harshly glared back at that middle-aged man from Ancient Martial Alliance.

"Hmph, you're very arrogant huh! I've seen your information; the Temple of Light's Holy Son is it? Do you think the Temple of Light can make an enemy of us three factions? Do you have the capital?" Evil Sect's hidden powerhouse—Han Yingjie—coldly uttered this as he stepped forward, his robes dancing wildly.

Ou Chen faltered. They have actually identified me! It seems like these large factions' intelligence organizations are pretty strong too, but this really wasn't my doing!

But even if Ou Chen were to flatly deny it now, these four powerhouses—all from major factions—wouldn't believe him.

After all, there were only two Stage Five powerhouses opposite them. Among them, Wu Hao was gravely injured. Wu Hao's face was deathly pale, and he even needed Tian Mingyuan to support him.

Only Ou Chen looked fine right now. If it wasn't his doing, who else could it be?

Ou Chen was absolutely unable to get rid of this blame.

"Cut the crap and take these people down! They'll be just nice to act as our stepping stones to enter the historical ruin! If you provoke us, you have to have the awareness of paying with your lives!"

Martial God Hall's He Lunhai was dressed in white with a longsword in hand. His presence was outstanding, but the words he uttered were extremely ruthless; he clearly wasn't an easy opponent.

The lady beside him, Wu Ping, also brought out a longsword from her individual backpack. Cold light swirled in her eyes!

"All right, let me—Wang Hao—learn from the brilliant moves of the Temple of Light's Holy Son!"

The middle-aged man from Ancient Martial Alliance struck first. He threw out a punch, and a sharp sonic boom exploded as if it sought to tear apart everyone's ear membranes!

While the fist wind ravaged, a tiger phantom even pounced forward abruptly!

The tiger was in charge of killing; this massive tiger phantom seemed to come from seas of blood and mountains of corpses. Its ferocity was monstrous as it went biting toward Ou Chen with a foul wind!

"F*ck!" Ou Chen was taken aback. Since he was also a Stage Five powerhouse, he could sense how frightening this attack from the other party was. Thus, he hurriedly struck as well.

As Ou Chen swung his staff, streaks of golden light gathered.

Multiple golden flares gathered and burst out, slamming toward the massive tiger like meteors!

Air blasts swept across, and explosions wreaked havoc!

The massive tiger actually tore out all of the flares, and they gradually turned into nothing!

"Humph!" Wang Hao sneered, clearly rather displeased that he hadn't managed to kill with one strike. His figure swiftly darted forward, about to come close and launch a close-combat attack at Ou Chen.

The corners of Ou Chen's eyes instantly twitched hard!

Seriously, although Ou Chen wasn't weak and had the trump card given by the Lord, he was a Mage after all. His body was weak. If he was pulled close to a Fighter, it only meant death for him!

Moreover, the other party was a powerhouse from Ancient Martial Alliance. These people cultivated ancient martial arts and were far more powerful than the usual Fighter profession players.

Multiple golden balls shot out from Ou Chen's staff as he quickly retreated, wanting to seek help from Link.

Meanwhile, the few Temple of Light members—who were watching the fight at the side—were still cheering for him.

"The Holy Son is invincible; defeat is the consequence when you challenge my temple's Holy Son!"

"Yes, two Stage Five powerhouses have already fallen! Even if four more come, they will meet the same end!"

"My Holy Son dominates the current generation; all of you are merely clay chickens and pottery dogs!"

Under the drive of these words, Wang Hao's attacks became increasingly ferocious. Like a beast in human form, he brought tremendous pressure to Ou Chen.

"Damn it!" Ou Chen cursed inwardly, and his countenance was as grim as the bottom of a pot. He wished he could strangle those fellows to death right now.

Finally, after Wang Hao turned to dodge an energy ball attack, he was about to arrive at Ou Chen's front!

Wu Hao—who was skilled in close combat—was severely wounded right now, so he was completely unable to act in time.

Ou Chen's scalp went numb for a moment. Without a body shield, it was really difficult for him to employ all of his strength. When it came to close combat, he would only get thrashed all the more.

At that moment, how could Ou Chen still care about the Holy Son's dignity and bearing? He quickly shouted, "Brother Link! Save me!"

"Die!" Wang Hao roared as a punch was delivered. Fist wind blew in all directions, the air was blasted open, and fist shadows—which filled the sky—appeared!

Link shot a glance at Ou Chen. He didn't say anything, only swinging out a strike!

[Spring and Autumn Sword Technique]!

In an instant, a sword ray abruptly leaped out—it was extremely brilliant!

The overwhelming sword energy that engulfed the area was even more startling!

This strike of elegance and talent suppressed the fist shadows in the sky like a passing beauty! So much so that the universe became dull and colorless beneath this strike!

Boom!

A loud boom reverberated in the air!

The fist shadows and sword glow collided, causing billowing smoke and dust to arise. The afterwinds that surged in all directions were like a typhoon, lifting and sending all the surrounding tents and trees flying!

Everyone was no longer able to get a clear look at the fight.

"Hm?!"

For a moment, the Temple of Light members and the three Stage Five Star-rank powerhouses spectating the battle were all shocked!

"That earlier strike was really released by a Stage Four powerhouse?" Han Yingjie gasped with narrowed eyes.

The few Temple of Light members stared at one another, speechless. They were slightly enlightened and perplexed.

"Could it be that the Holy Son wasn't being humble earlier? Was all of this Link's doing!?"

"It was Link who defeated the two Stage Five powerhouses?!"

Chapter 175: Xing Yi Horse Form! Battle!

The terrifying momentum that burst out from Link's casual strike shocked everyone and made them go wild!

The group of Temple of Light Stage Four powerhouses was presently stunned, and they were rather puzzled.

The major factions' few Stage Five Star-rank powerhouses were also in disbelief regarding everything that happened before their eyes.

A Stage Four [Doomsday Online] player was actually able to contend with a top Star-rank powerhouse at the present stage! This could be said to have startled them so much that all of their eyeballs popped out.

And this matter—which was unheard of—had truly happened before their eyes. Hence, how could everyone not be shocked?

Han Yingjie, He Lunhai, and Wu Ping eyed each other as their countenances constantly changed.

After faltering for a moment, they suddenly realized something!

Could it be that we had already targeted the wrong person earlier?

Could it be that the initiator of all of this isn't the Temple of Light's Holy Son, but that young man?

A sharp glint flashed through He Lunhai's eyes as he asked Han Yingjie, "Does your Evil Sect have information regarding this person?"

Han Yingjie shook his head. Though it was true that Evil Sect's intelligence organization was powerful, he really didn't have information on this person.

According to reason, such a strange powerhouse shouldn't have appeared in this area.

After some thought, Han Yingjie voiced out a conjecture. "Could he be from Unfallen City? The city isn't far from here, but they aren't under any of the major factions' command."

"Interesting. This makes them newly risen powerhouses." He Lunhai nodded, and the corners of his lips curled up into an icy smile.

Since they aren't under any of the major factions' command, this means that he has no background. A powerhouse with no background, yet he still has such capabilities. There are definitely many secrets or powerful equipment on him. An innocent man gets into trouble because of his wealth. He Lunhai became even more interested in that Link.

Han Yingjie also thought of this point; his eyes shifted, and he no longer said anything else.

Just as their conversation ended, in the center of the battle—where smoke and dust billowed—a man howled. Afterwinds swept in all directions, surging in the void as they forcefully dispelled the smoke and dust.

A figure appeared in everyone's eyes. It was Ancient Martial Alliance's Wang Hao, who had delivered the overwhelming fist shadows earlier. He was presently rather battered. The ravaging sword energy had ripped out many cuts out of Wang Hao's clothes, but he had become even more berserk!

Wang Hao's beard and hair stood on end as his vigor erupted like an insane lion's. He increasingly appeared to have an alarming presence!

Berserk vigor seemed to be burning, raising hot waves that pushed toward all four directions. Everyone could feel the anger in Wang Hao's chest, which seemingly sought to burn everything down!

Wang Hao could've killed Ou Chen earlier, but he was obstructed by a streak of sword glow!

Most importantly, the person that acted was a Stage Four [Doomsday Online] player!

Being obstructed by the strike of a person whose level was far beneath his own was virtually a stinging insult to the arrogant Wang Hao!

A mere Stage Four ought to be in awe of him. Why did Link dare strike at him?

Wang Hao could no longer care about Ou Chen now. He looked toward Link instead—the rage in his eyes was like flowing lava. "Rascal, you are seeking doom!"

Link totally couldn't be bothered to respond to him. He just coolly scanned the four Stage Five powerhouses—who had come forward—and spoke with a smile. "Are all the Stage Fives here? Let's not miss anyone out."

Sensing the disdain and indifference in Link's gaze, Wang Hao and the others all felt a sense of discomfort and rage emerge.

Not miss anyone out? Is he complaining that the four of us—all Stage Five powerhouses—still aren't enough? This fellow's appetite is bigger than the sky!

"Conceited!" He Lunhai's gaze became increasingly somber as he spoke coldly.

Ou Chen made use of the interval when Link blocked the strike for him to distance himself from Wang Hao. He then moved to hide behind Link.

As he watched Link's figure in front of him, Ou Chen no longer felt flustered even though he was facing four Stage Five powerhouses. Instead, he felt an immense sense of security, and he couldn't help letting out a long breath.

I am safe! It's still Brother Link who is reliable at the critical moment! Wouldn't it be a great loss if such a powerhouse wasn't kidnapped and brought into the Temple of Light?! Ou Chen thought inwardly; the joy of escaping an ordeal was written all over his face.

The Temple of Light crowd at the side—who was initially extremely reverent of their Holy Son—was at a loss for words now.

It seemed like everything that happened before had indeed been Link's doing—this person was the true ruthless person!

Disregarding what everyone was thinking in their hearts, Link suddenly stood up. His white robes fluttered like snow. With the [King's Sword] in hand, his presence was extraordinary! He was like an ancient sword immortal who crossed the long river of time to come and was overlooking all his enemies!

The powerhouses of the major factions in this area were all present. It would be just nice for him to take them down one by one.

The information that those major factions had wasn't little. They also owned a lot of good stuff, so these people would probably give Link considerable gains.

Upon seeing Link stand up, Wang Hao no longer restrained the killing intent in his chest. With a roar, his figure leaped forward once again. With both fists swinging, the air instantly broke apart, releasing explosive sounds!

Wang Hao had been practicing Xing Yi Quan[1] even before the apocalypse. After the apocalypse arrived, he had awakened a Diamond-grade hidden profession, [Master of Xing Yi].

There was a saying that went: 'Tai Chi takes ten years of practice, while Xing Yi allows one to kill within a year!'

XIng Yi Quan was an extremely tyrannical combat art to begin with!

After the apocalypse arrived, everyone was able to raise their levels and elevate their respective attributes. This had truly demonstrated this ancient martial art's might all the more!

After Wang Hao entered Stage Five, his combat abilities became extremely frightening. He could rank at the top amongst those of the same level!

Presently, he struck with rage; Xing Yi Quan's horse form was launched. His leg muscles were taut like steel as if they contained immense strength—even the ground cracked at every inch beneath his steps!

Both of Wang Hao's fists even went straight for Link's skull. The heavy punches were like galloping horses' hooves as the fist winds broke the void—the might was fearsome!

Ou Chen's heart instantly dropped for a moment. Ou Chen sensed the immense pressure surging toward him, and he quickly reminded, "Link, don't let him come close! The majority of the powerhouses from Ancient Martial Alliance practice ancient martial arts; their fists and legs possess might comparable to skills!"

"Too late! Die!" Wang Hao let out a cold laugh. He was no longer far from Link, and his fists swung down brutally!

The air rang. In the emptiness, searing fist winds gathered and even condensed into a ferocious battle steed. The battle steed raised its hooves and stepped down harshly!

Some distance away, Han Yingjie, He Lunhai, and the other Stage Five powerhouses' pupils contracted!

Wang Hao had evidently brought out his real skill. The might of this strike was frightening; even they—Stage Five powerhouses—might not necessarily be certain that they could receive it!

"That fellow's doomed!" Han Yingjie said decisively, his tone extremely steadfast.

Link took a glance at the horse phantom, yet his expression remained indifferent.

The next moment, a black shadow abruptly leaped forward. Long, jet-black limbs reached out and collided with the large hooves.

A roar sounded, and the void exploded. It seemed as if the space was about to be torn apart by this fearsome collision!

That utterly ferocious horse phantom actually crumbled before the dark shadow!

Everyone was wide-eyed, and the present Wang Hao wore a look full of incredulity and surprise!

His fists then crashed into the black shadow's long limbs!

Wang Hao—who was a Stage Five powerhouse—actually sensed a great force that he absolutely couldn't withstand and was instantly sent flying!

[1] Xing Yi Quan is classified as an internal style of Chinese martial arts. Its name translates approximately to Form-Intention Fist

Chapter 176: The Might of God Devourer Ant! Qi and Blood Pill!

Boom!

With a loud boom, the Star-rank powerhouse from Ancient Martial Alliance—Wang Hao—heavily slammed into the ground like a cannonball, creating a huge crater in the ground!

The group of Stage Four Temple of Light members was shocked, their mouths slightly ajar!

One should understand that Wang Hao was a Star-rank powerhouse who excelled in physical combat. His punches contained thousands of catties of force, and they were enough to blast away ordinary Stage Four players. Yet, he was sent flying just like this?

Even Wu Hao, a Temple of Light Elder, couldn't help but gulp! His current injuries aside, he would never be able to send a Stage Five powerhouse flying in one blow, even if he was at his peak!

This was simply a crushing battle!

Wu Hao and Tian Mingyuan looked at each other; they were both surprised and shocked!

He Lunhai and the others—who were a distance away—became silent as well!

The face of Han Yingjie—who said that Link was doomed earlier—also changed.

This slap in the face came too quickly!

Old Wang was a disgrace!

"That black shadow is definitely not human! It has such terrifying strength!" He Lunhai narrowed his eyes and spoke in a deep voice.

They weren't weaklings. After a brief moment of shock, they began to focus on the main point.

That black shadow—which was able to send a person flying in one blow—was obviously terrifyingly strong. Such creatures that were skilled at close combat were the nightmare of most Mages!

Upon hearing He Lunhai's reminder, Han Yingjie and Wu Ping also stared at the black shadow that suddenly appeared, only to see a giant insect as tall as a human amidst the smoke and dust. This insect looked like an ant densely covered with faint blue lines. The lines were extremely mysterious as if filled with the purest truth between heaven and earth!

The most crucial thing was that an extremely barbaric and fierce aura surrounded this giant ant!

As if it had come from primitive times, this ant's chelicerae were powerful enough to tear apart heaven and earth!

This ant was Link's summoned creature—God Devourer Ant!

Previously, it hadn't been summoned. When it appeared at this moment, it revealed its terrifying battle power!

God Devourer Ants were a prehistoric species known for their strength. At the peak of their power, they could even tear apart heaven and earth and devour the gods!

Thus, it wasn't a difficult task for God Devourer Ant to send a Stage Five [Doomsday Online] player flying!

At this moment, God Devourer Ant turned around slightly and let out an intimate, buzzing sound toward Link.

Such a fierce giant ant was so meek and respectful to Link. The scene made Han Yingjie and the others' gazes change again.

Link stroked God Devourer Ant's head, glanced at Han Yingjie and the others—who were slightly further away—and said with a smile, "Go. Don't let any of them go; keep them alive."

God Devourer Ant nodded its head humanely. It then turned around with its pitch-black eyes—which were so cold that there seemed to be a collision between frosty stars!

Han Yingjie, Wu Ping, and the others' hearts went cold, and they felt inexplicable horror!

"This kid is so odd. His sword skills are extraordinary, but he doesn't seem to be of a Fighter profession. Yet, he can also command such a terrifying ferocious beast. Where is he from?" said Han Yingjie, surprised.

At the same time, an angry, wild roar suddenly sounded. It exploded in everyone's ears like a beast's roar!

"Damn it! I, Wang Hao, will kill you today!" A figure leaped out of the huge crater; it was Wang Hao. However, he looked extremely wretched. He no longer had the Grandmaster aura he had when he appeared earlier.

His black hair was disheveled, and there was fresh blood on the corner of his mouth. One of his arms drooped down weakly—it should've been broken by God Devourer Ant during the earlier collision.

With a roar, Wang Hao quickly took out a pill from his personal backpack and swallowed it.

His faint aura began to recover in a way that was visible to the naked eye. It even improved!

Wang Hao's blood boiled as if it was ignited. A wave of heat steamed out of his body; his body was like an oven, and his hot breath stung the crowd's eyes!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The blood in Wang Hao's body seemed to have transformed into a raging river, emitting bursts of explosion sounds! Even his previously broken arm was recovering—the broken bone and torn flesh were healing!

"That pill can enhance his strength!" Wu Hao said solemnly.

Wang Hao sneered. He stretched his healed arm, but a trace of regret flashed past his eyes.

The pill he had just taken was the [Qi and Blood Pill] researched by Ancient Martial Alliance based on ancient books. It could significantly increase one's strength and help one heal from their injuries! However, all this was only temporary. If one couldn't kill their opponent within ten minutes, their state would quickly deteriorate.

Even with a Priest healing them, the state of weakness would last longer than normal!

The pills' raw ingredients were rare mutated plants and materials obtained from monsters. They were worth a lot of money.

Wang Hao really didn't expect that a battle with a Stage Four opponent would force him to waste a hard-earned [Qi and Blood Pill].

After taking the pill, there was still a period of weakness. He didn't dare to trust He Lunhai and the others fully.

These people were united by their interests, and they might take advantage of his weakness to attack him. But now that Jiang Wencheng had been captured, he could only give it a shot.

Only after he saved Jiang Wencheng could Ancient Martial Alliance's team be strong enough to deter He Lunhai and the others, to stop them from making a move.

With that thought, Wang Hao made a fist with one hand and waved it behind his back.

This was a sign to He Lunhai and the others to take action together instead of just watching.

The kid in front is really weird. Wang Hao wasn't as reckless as he appeared to be, and he naturally wouldn't lose his cool.

Han Yingjie, He Lunhai, and Wu Ping saw Wang Hao's signal and looked at each other, holding their weapons tightly.

"Kill!" Wang Hao roared and leaped out like a big swallow zooming across the sky. This was [Xing Yi?Swallow Form].

As his body appeared in mid-air, his aura changed again. A loud sound could be heard coming from his sinews and bones. His spine bulged like a huge dragon, and his fists were shrouded with extremely terrifying power!

An indistinct dragon roar sounded, mixed with the sound of the howling wind. It was [Xing Yi?Dragon Form].

After executing two forms in succession, the superimposed power became even more terrifying. A giant swallow shadow and giant dragon shadow emerged in the void and charged toward Link!

The domain—which uniquely belonged to Wang Hao—unfurled at this moment!

Fist wind blew in all directions as if this place had become the center of a storm. The fist wind was like blades, tearing through the air as it emitted the sharp sound of wind breaking.

The giant swallow and dragon shadow in the domain appeared more formidable and awe-inspiring!

The few Stage Four Temple of Light members turned several shades paler. They sharply retreated outward to avoid the raging fist wind!

Link's expression remained calm, and God Devourer Ant—who was in front of him—suddenly moved!

God Devourer Ant leaped out abruptly, its chelicerae colliding with the Dragon-Swallow shadow!

Boom! Boom!

The space around them shook!

Even the Dragon-Swallow shadow couldn't resist the God Devourer Ant's might!

Horror flashed through Wang Hao's eyes. His fist move changed again—Tiger Form, Horse Form, Bear Form... One after another!

At the same time, he roared, "What are you waiting for?"

Chapter 177: Siege! Battle of the Greatest!

The roars never ceased. The giant bear growled, the tiger roared, and the dragon waved its claws. But under God Devourer Ant's relentless bombardment, their attacks were shattered!

Even Wang Hao—who had activated his domain and was full-on attacking using his Xing Yi Quan—couldn't hold on for too long. He shouted out for people to help hold off the attacks.

Although Han Yingjie, He Lunhai, and Wu Ping were happy to see Wang Hao being worn down by the enemy, they didn't want the weird young man in front of them to defeat them one by one.

As a result, Han Yingjie and the other two's eyes flashed when Wang Hao roared, and they moved instantly!

Han Yingjie was the Evil Sect's top powerhouse. In an instant, the domain that was his expanded.

A chill swept through the place abruptly. The temperature dropped sharply, and the winds howled in the forest!

All the Stage Four Temple of Light powerhouses felt a tingle on their scalps as if they had entered an area where darkness reigned.

Even the three major factions' members that had rushed over felt strange. They had goosebumps all over them.

At the same time, Han Yingjie's figure completely disappeared from everyone's sight.

"What kind of domain is this? It can freeze people's energy and blood, paralyze perception, and allow him to hide himself? It's not ordinary!" said Tian Mingyuan in a low voice, his expression solemn and wary.

He Lunhai and Wu Ping of Martial God Hall also activated their domains quickly. Both of them came from the same powerful sect, but their domains were completely different.

He Lunhai's sharp sword energy surged, plowing the ground under his feet into deep gullies! The surging sword energy slowly lifted up his body; his clothes fluttered, and his expression was indifferent like a supreme sword, overlooking everyone!

Coupled with He Lunhai's monk-like demeanor, this visual was excellent. It made Ou Chen, Xue Linglong, and the others feel an unspeakable sense of oppression!

Sword energy vortices quickly appeared all around him. Just by looking, it was possible to perceive their unparalleled sharpness; it was as if they could shatter anything!

As He Lunhai's figure swept out, he swung the longsword in his hand. But instead of slashing God Devourer Ant in order to help Wang Hao, the sword aura headed straight for Link!

He obviously intended to take down the leader first!

Along with the sword aura, the sword energy vortices—which were swirling in his domain—also swept toward Link!

He Lunhai sneered at Link and shouted in a deep voice, "Boy, isn't your sword skill very good? Today, I will teach you what swordplay actually is! Before you reach Stage Five—before you have your own sword energy domain, sword skills are just skills, not Dao!"

"You can't reach my level; you never will! Only those trash will be defeated by you!" He Lunhai's words were full of arrogance. As a Stage Five Star-rank powerhouse, he did have the right to be prideful. But this was as good as stepping on Jiang Wencheng and the others while raising himself.

In an instant, even Wang Hao's expression soured...

Wu Ping's weapon was also a sword, but dark clouds appeared in the originally clear and sunny sky as her domain expanded.

Soon, droplets of rain fell from above!

The rain wasn't heavy, but the drizzle left fine holes in the ground!

Some Stage Four [Doomsday Online] players didn't manage to avoid her domain and had wounds suddenly appear on their bodies, spurting scarlet blood!

"This is no ordinary rain; every drop of rain is sharp and possesses terrifying power. Avoid it!" Wu Hao said grimly.

Such a domain was equivalent to an Area of Effect skill!

Although the people from the Temple of Light weren't the attack's main targets, they would still be affected. Generally, Stage Four powerhouses would find it hard to withstand such an attack.

"Damn it!" Wu Hao yelled. I can't just sit back and watch this happen.

Despite his injuries, he expanded his own domain to counter the effects of the opponent's domain.

Circles of golden ripples suddenly spread from Wu Hao's feet, isolating him from the influence of Wu Ping and the others' domains. However, Wu Hao's face—which was originally already a little pale—became paler. Blood was even flowing out from the corner of his mouth!

"Old Wu!" Tian Mingyuan shouted. He frowned, turned his head, and quickly commanded the several Stage Four players. "Use the combined attack formation to help reduce Elder Wu's burden!"

"Yes!" The group of Stage Four Temple of Light powerhouses responded quickly, and golden halos soon radiated from them.

These halos were filled with light and warmth, and they were of the same origin as Wu Hao's power—they helped Wu Hao consolidate his domain.

But Wu Ping didn't even look at them; her goal was Link.

"Go!" With a yell, Wu Ping waved the longsword in her hand, and the fine rain condensed into small snakes made of rainwater. Then, they all headed toward Link!

The sword aura, the sword energy vortices, the little snakes made of rain, and the missing Han Yingjie made Ou Chen feel suffocated and a strong sense of impending crisis!

A Stage Five Star-rank powerhouse wouldn't draw attention to themselves if they did nothing. But once they made a move, it was bound to be impactful and terrifyingly powerful!

Ou Chen looked at Link's back, his heart filled with hope and despair. Can the man in front of me really defeat these people?

Ou Chen also expanded his domain swiftly, and the staff in his hand glowed as bright energy pulsed!

However, Link—who was facing several Stage Five powerhouses—was still calm and even somewhat indifferent. He waved his hand. "Haoyue, you can make your move."

With those words, Luo Haoyue—who had long been unable to hold back—suddenly smiled. It was an extremely cold smile, but it contained palpitating killing intent. "As you will it."

The next moment, the shadow under Luo Haoyue's feet suddenly began to twist. A profane and strange aura filled the ground, and the ground was soon covered with layers of dense spider silk!

Link didn't stay idle. The sword energy surged around his body, and the [Holy Spirit Necklace] glowed faintly.

"Holy Sword of the Light!" While Link's low voice fell, the [King's Sword] in his hand rotated as it rose. The sword's bearing was fierce and majestic, and the bright light it emitted enveloped the world!

At the same time, the vast power of light in the void moved with the [King's Sword]. In an instant, a huge sword—tens of feet long—condensed and appeared!

This holy sword—which seemed to have descended from the sky—was majestic and vast. It was like a divine punishment that had come from ancient times to drive away evil spirits!

,000% Intelligence attribute light damage!

Link's own powerful attributes gave this sword even more terrifying power! It was in no way inferior, even when compared with the skills of the Stage Six powerhouse, Haoyue!

At this moment, the pupils of Wu Ping, He Lunhai, and the others all shrank slightly, and they had shocked expressions!

They simply couldn't believe that a Stage Four powerhouse could explode with such power!

Suddenly, the Holy Sword slashed down, and there was a roar between heaven and earth!

The sword aura and sword energy vortex that He Lunhai created, together with Wu Ping's rain snakes, shattered one after the other!

The aftershocks of the battle sent even Stage Four powerhouses such as Xue Linglong flying. The ground was broken into pieces, and the trees were turned into dust!

At this moment, a sneer suddenly came from behind Link!

Chapter 178: Suppress the Greatest! Captivity!

"No matter how many tricks you have, you still have to die!" His words were full of killing intent; each word was like an ice ball, emitting a creepy coldness!

At the same time, an illusory figure suddenly appeared from behind Link! It was Han Yingjie, who had previously disappeared before everyone's eyes!

At this moment, he was like a ghost that sought revenge—his body was in a semi-illusory state.

The moment his figure appeared, one of his arms—as well as the dagger in his hand—became solid and flickered with skill light as it ruthlessly pierced toward Link's undershirt!

The pupils of Ou Chen—who was just slightly relieved earlier—suddenly shrunk slightly, and his face was full of surprise!

"No!" He roared, ready to make his move, but it was too late!

A faint green light lit up and reflected in everyone's eyes!

This was the full power of a Stage Five powerhouse. Whether or not one was prepared for the attack, eve/n a same-rank physically strong Fighter would find it difficult to resist!

This was a one-hit kill! It was unavoidable and unstoppable!

It now seemed that Wu Ping and He Lunhai were shielding Han Yingjie, creating this perfect opportunity!

Stage Five Star-rank powerhouses had already preliminarily mastered their domains and begun the climb to the stage of sanctification. But they weren't saints, and they weren't without weaknesses. Not to mention that they didn't have the ability to be reborn from a drop of blood!

Once some vital points of the body were torn into pieces, one would quickly lose their life!

What's more, Han Yingjie had cast apparent skills; it was still unknown how powerful their effects were!

This poisonous snake—which had been lying dormant on the sidelines—had finally revealed its deadly fangs!

Ou Chen knew that it would be difficult for them to escape the encirclement and this place if the others killed Link. It was even possible that they would be buried here today!

Ou Chen, Wu Hao, and the others' faces turned pale all of a sudden!

Pu chi!

Amidst the sound of wind being cut through, the dagger pierced through Link's body. It twisted viciously, but there wasn't even a single spurt of blood!

The grim smile on Han Yingjie's face instantly froze, and a hint of dismay and horror flashed through his eyes! This isn't the feeling of piercing through flesh and blood. I didn't feel the warm blood gushing out! Is this figure in front of me fake, or is it some kind of illusion?

As Han Yingjie was in doubt, the figure in front of him—which the dagger had pierced—slowly turned his head and revealed a smile that sent chills down his spine!

"It's fake!" Han Yingjie frowned as an alarm sounded in his heart.

He couldn't care less about the Link in front of him. He quickly vanished, seemingly disappearing in front of the crowd again!

At this moment, Wu Ping, He Lunhai, and the others—who were all a distance away—were stunned. How could it be fake? The other party had clearly counteracted both our attacks!

Wu Hao, Tian Mingyuan, and the others from the Temple of Light froze in place. Fake? Link did not die?!

The scene before them was beyond their expectations, leaving them baffled.

Ou Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He felt as if the day were a roller coaster, and his heart was barely holding out.

But before Han Yingjie completely turned into nothingness, a bunch of spider silk wrapped around his arm.

"It's too late to want to leave," stated Luo Haoyue coldly, her face cruel and ice cold.

Turbulent and obscure power entered Han Yingjie along the spider silk. This power eroded and polluted Han Yingjie's spirit.

A dreamlike whisper sounded in Han Yingjie's ears. His eyes glazed over, and his expression was full of horror.

Ou Chen's skills had also arrived. Golden light shone from his staff and turned into a phantom lasso, which looped itself over Han Yingjie! It seemed to be some kind of imprisonment skill!

Under their combined efforts, Han Yingjie's non-corporeal state began to waver. It was finally completely broken, and Han Yingjie once again became corporeal!

One distorted spider shadow after another rushed toward him!

Crack!

A sound like tearing silk was heard!

Han Yingjie's arms and thighs were torn off, and blood splattered everywhere!

The severe pain cleared his vision, and Han Yingjie seemed to wake up from a nightmare. He suddenly reacted and regretfully said, "He switched himself earlier!"

Han Yingjie was referring to Link. Han Yingjie had originally planned to take advantage and attack Link when Link was making his move on Wu Ping and the others.

Unexpectedly, Link was a step ahead of him and had left a reflection that couldn't be differentiated from his true self in his place.

Otherwise, Han Yingjie wouldn't have returned to his real body abruptly, let alone end up in his current situation!

At this time, the pierced 'Link' slowly dissipated and turned into nothingness.

"Don't kill him." An indifferent voice was heard, and a figure walked out from one side—it was Link.

His white robe was spotless, and he still looked handsome and dashing. The four top human powerhouses couldn't even touch the corners of his clothes.

The pierced 'Link' was just a reflection from the [Mirror of Reflection].

Han Yingjie had thought he was doing a good job of staying hidden, having minimized all traces of his existence. However, Link had been long prepared. After the [Holy Sword of the Light] fell, he used the [Ring of Teleportation] to leave the place, leaving only a reflection.

"Yes." Luo Haoyue nodded slightly.

The few distorted spider shadows were no longer biting Han Yingjie. They instead spewed out strands of spider silk, which bound him and temporarily sealed the bloody wound.

As long as it wasn't a fatal injury, a Stage Five powerhouse was very tenacious. Even the loss of limbs wouldn't affect their survival.

On the other side, a roar sounded!

In the end, Wang Hao was unable to hold off the God Devourer Ant. After being attacked successively, he was beaten into the ground and covered with blood. His robe seemed to have become one made of blood.

God Devourer Ant picked up the half-dead Wang Hao from the pit and threw him beside Han Yingjie.

In just a few minutes, out of the four Star-rank reinforcements that had come in, two more were captured!

When He Lunhai and Wu Ping saw this, they shuddered, and their scalps turned numb! Are all these people monsters? We are already the strongest of our current Stage and are powerful enough to destroy the city. Ordinary [Doomsday Online] players can only gaze upon our backs! However, four Stage Five powerhouses have now been captured and thrown onto the ground unceremoniously!

Are Stage Five powerhouses that weak?

Where is our dignity?

He Lunhai was barely able to maintain his cold and arrogant manner. He gulped, and his face turned pale.

He looked at Link and Luo Haoyue, and fear rose in his eyes...

Not only is this Stage Four player weird and scary, but the woman behind him—who manipulated the spider shadows—is also terrifying.

Stage Five Star-rank!

Previously, the woman had hidden her aura, so they didn't notice it. Only when she activated her domain did they realize that she was also a top powerhouse...

He Lunhai and Wu Ping looked at each other; both saw the intent to retreat in each other's eyes.

Although the drops were good, their lives were more important. Only by saving their own lives could they have the opportunity to continue growing stronger.

"Run." He Lunhai growled, his figure quickly receding.

Chapter 179: The Real Monster! Kind Heart!

Wu Ping's face was also pale. After slashing her sword in the direction of Link and the others, her figure quickly retreated! What the hell! If we stay here, both of us will die! That young man is simply a monster!

They had never heard of any Stage Four player that was so strong before!

A Stage Four existence defeating a Stage Five powerhouse with such ease... If this piece of news was spread out, it would be enough to cause a sensation in the entire world!

If it could be said that Stage Five players were looked up to by countless people, then this opponent was even more of a monster than the Stage Five powerhouses!

Even the Temple of Light was of no significance! This opponent almost suppressed their three major factions with just his strength alone!

Who wouldn't be afraid and horrified?

Even Wu Ping and He Lunhai regretted it in their hearts! If they had known that fighting for the ruins would cause them to encounter such an existence, they never would've come!

Not only did they not obtain any benefits, but they even got into trouble...

As their thoughts flashed, Wu Ping and He Lunhai tried their best to flee.

But even though they were fast, Link—who had the [Ring of Teleportation]—was even faster than them.

[Instant Teleport] activate!

The sword light that Wu Ping slashed out smashed into the empty space, causing sand and pebbles to splash around; it also tore a gully in the ground. However, this didn't even have the slightest effect of delaying the enemy.

Link's figure appeared in front of them instantly, not giving them the slightest chance to escape!

Wu Ping and He Lunhai both stopped, dazedly staring at the young man in white not far away.

A series of twisted spider shadows also gathered quickly. These shadows opened their big bloody mouths and sharply screamed at the duo!

God Devourer Ant and Luo Haoyue were also blocking them from the sides!

The aura of pollution and aberration continued to erode Wu Ping and He Lunhai's spirits, making their faces turn even uglier.

Damn it; we can't escape! The two of them secretly cursed in their hearts.

He Lunhai's air of arrogance weakened, and his eyes twitched slightly. He didn't wish to follow in the footsteps of Wang Hao and others.

Taking a deep breath, He Lunhai said in a deep voice, "Sir, we are from Martial God Hall. You are powerful, but Martial God Hall isn't a weak force either. There isn't a need to chase us to death, right? As long as you let the two of us leave today, we promise not to pursue this matter and cause you trouble."

The implications were very simple.

If Link insisted on killing them all, Link might get into serious trouble since Martial God Hall wasn't an ordinary faction.

After all, other Martial God Hall members had been watching the battle just now. They might already have sent back information about what happened here.

Link just smiled indifferently and asked, "You are threatening me?"

Before the words fell, God Devourer Ant turned into an afterimage and flew out. In an instant, its slender chelicerae punched out like a fist!

The air burst, and the air waves rolled!

He Lunhai swung his sword to resist, but even Wang Hao of Ancient Martial Alliance couldn't resist God Devourer Ant's attacks. Thus, he was even more unable to do so.

In an instant, the longsword flew out of his hand. The terrifying force directly exploded his entire arm, sending his flesh and blood flying everywhere!

He Lunhai let out a painful wail, and droplets of cold sweat—each the size of a bean—kept oozing out from his forehead!

Wu Ping's eyes flickered, and she suddenly said, "Sir, you have risen to power rapidly and have extraordinary combat power. You are a real child of heaven; I am willing to serve under your command..."

When facing a situation where she didn't have much of a choice, this Stage Five Martial God Hall powerhouse instantly exposed her nature of being a traitor, wanting to switch to Link's side.

However, Link didn't have much interest and just waved his hand, too lazy to waste words with them.

He Lunhai and Wu Ping truly panicked when they saw how Link was unmoved by both their threats and submission!

But before the two of them acted, Luo Haoyue's domain instantly strengthened, and the sharp, profane whispers sounded in He Lunhai and Wu Ping's ears.

They instantly went into a trance; their spirits were affected by the pollution, and the dense twisted spider shadows around them spewed out a large amount of spider silk, wrapping toward them.

Soon, both of them were tied into balls and thrown beside Wang Hao and the others.

Four Stage Five powerhouses, plus the previous two... As many as six Stage Five Star-rank powerhouses had become Link's prisoners.

At this moment, the entire place was dead silent.

Quiet and scary!

Whether it was the Temple of Light's people or the three major factions' members here, they all looked at Link and the others dazedly, their heads a little confused!

Upon seeing that even the Stage Five powerhouses couldn't escape, most of the three major factions' members here didn't have the guts to run. They just felt that everything in front of them was really surreal...

Then, these people soon followed in Jiang Wencheng and the others' footsteps, becoming Link's prisoners.

As for Ou Chen and the others from the Temple of Light, their expressions were a bit dull and stunned. Six Stage Five powerhouses; such a powerful force was totally defeated by Link just like this? Are Stage Five powerhouses so vulnerable now?

Xue Linglong, Luo Xingyao, and Zhao Yongkang seemed much more indifferent.

When looking at the shocked eyes of everyone around him, Zhao Yongkang even had an inexplicable sense of superiority in his heart. He couldn't help but roll his eyes—these people really have no experience! What's there to be shocked about?

"All of you saw that just now, right? Everyone's domain is different from person to person. Even if they grasp the nomological power of the same element, they will have different characteristics. You guys must have an elementary grasp of the nomological powers as soon as possible."

At this moment, Link directly used the battle just now to explain the knowledge of domains to Xue Linglong and the others, laying the foundation for them to reach Stage Five as soon as possible.

"..." Ou Chen and the others were completely speechless. Those are six Stage Five powerhouses, not Chinese cabbages. Why does it seem like they are of no importance in their eyes?

Finally, Ou Chen found a chance to say, "Brother Link, you guys are way too powerful!"

"En, is there a problem?" Link turned his head backward and glanced at this Holy Son.

Ou Chen instantly shuddered. He smiled brightly and said, "No, there's no problem. Brother Link, why don't you join the Temple of Light? I will ask the Temple Master to let you be the Vice-Temple Master."

Wu Hao and Tian Mingyuan were all taken aback when they heard this. Vice-Temple Master—this is a position that is only below one person and above all others in the Temple of Light! Yet, Ou Chen has promised it to someone else just like this? This Holy Son really is a prodigal!

But the two of them soon accepted it. Thinking about it, with the strength that Link displayed, he might not care much about the position of Vice-Temple Master in the Temple of Light.

Link laughed and joked, "It's not impossible. What are the benefits?"

Ou Chen instantly became enthusiastic and immediately introduced the Temple of Light's prospects. The temperament of being the Holy Son and a powerhouse instantly vanished, and Ou Chen totally looked like a scammer.

"The Temple of Light will definitely become one of the top factions in the future, and it will always stand on the front line to protect mankind! Brother Link, you won't be making a mistake joining us..."

Wu Hao and Tian Mingyuan heard the joking intent in Link's words, so they didn't bother to pay attention to their Holy Son.

Wu Hao looked at the prisoners on the ground and asked, "Little Brother Link, what do you plan to do with these people?"

Hearing this, Link said, "Oh, I will let them return to their respective factions."

Ou Chen and the others frowned; question marks were all over their faces! Could this fierce person be so kind? Who would believe it!?

Chapter 180: Kidnap! Boundary Breaking Talisman!

Link ignored Ou Chen, Wu Hao, and the others' weird looks and asked Zhao Yongkang and company to confiscate the equipment of those taken captive.

The grades of their weapons weren't bad. After all, they were elite teams from the three major factions, so they were much more well-to-do than ordinary people. Most of them had one or two pieces of Gold-grade equipment.

Jiang Wencheng, Zhu Changfeng, and the other Stage Five Star-level powerhouses had more high-quality equipment on them. They also definitely had some rather rare potions, pills, and other combat supplements. For example, the pill that Wang Hao used in the battle against God Devourer Ant just now.

These people were the top powerhouses of humankind at this current period, leaders of the major factions. They had all received a lot of resources and grooming from their respective factions.

Although Link and the others might not have a use for these items, they could be used to arm the people in Unfallen City.

Weapons, armor, and such items were the easiest to be confiscated. These people were already prisoners, so they could just directly take the spoils from them. However, the pieces of equipment and items placed in the personal backpacks weren't easy to obtain unless the prisoners were killed and the items dropped.

But after Luo Haoyue's twisted spider shadows appeared and cruelly shredded two Stage Four prisoners to bits and dragged them into the shadows, these prisoners all became obedient and took out the contents in their personal backpacks.

After all, no matter how rare the equipment and items were, they weren't as important as their own lives.

Jiang Wencheng, He Lunhai, and the other Stage Five powerhouses were seriously injured and unconscious. After being awakened, they also took out the items in their personal backpacks. Among these items were the [Qi and Blood Pill] used by Wang Hao and the protective talisman used by Zhu Changfeng.

These things were relatively rare and could be regarded as the various factions' special products.

Seeing Zhao Yongkang and others tidying up the war spoils, Jiang Wencheng, Zhu Changfeng, and the other four Stage Five powerhouses all secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

The other party forcibly collected the spoils, signifying that they didn't need to worry about their lives for the time being. After all, these things would drop from their personal backpacks if they were killed. If Link really wanted their lives, there wasn't a need to force the prisoners to take out the items themselves.

Since Link didn't kill them, it either meant that he feared the revenge of the factions behind them or that they still had value.

Jiang Wencheng and the others were all smart people. Upon thinking of this, their eyes flickered. It's good as long as there is still room for discussion! It's better than losing our lives!

Link glanced at the confiscated items, smiled, and said nothing.

Among these items, one more crucial item was missing—the [Boundary Breaking Talisman].

These people were still being dishonest.

Perceiving Link's gaze, Jiang Wencheng thought for a while and said, "Sir, if I didn't guess wrong, you should be Unfallen City's City Master. We have offended you this time, but as long as you allow us to leave safely, Ancient Martial Alliance will definitely give you a satisfactory reward."

The City Master of Unfallen City—this was Jiang Wencheng's own speculation. After all, the team he sent out to Unfallen City had gone missing.

These people in front of him were definitely related to Unfallen City, and their status was definitely not low.

In fact, he guessed right.

Link didn't deny anything; it wasn't necessary to hide his identity. After all, these things could be easily found out if someone really checked. As for Jiang Wencheng's remuneration, it was his goal in the first place.

"Okay, I can let you guys go. However, my Unfallen City is preparing to be promoted to a second-level home city, and there's still a lot of materials missing. Each of you just needs to provide 100 fourth-grade soul crystal cores or rare ores of equivalent value."

"A hundred fourth-grade soul crystal cores?!" Jiang Wencheng's eyes opened wide, his eyes almost popping out. He also drew in a breath of cold air at the same time.

Zhu Changfeng and the others' faces also changed! This kid is really asking for too much! Does he really think that fourth-grade soul crystal cores are Chinese cabbages and that they exist in huge quantities?

It should be known that the value of fourth-grade soul crystal cores wasn't low, and it was the top material for building spell formations and equipment.

This kind of rare material could only be obtained from the drops of dead Stage Four monsters, and the probability of it dropping was so low that it could make a person cry. Even the major factions didn't have many of these cores in their reserve.

After all, at this stage, there really weren't many people who could kill Stage Four monsters.

Ou Chen, Wu Hao, and the others all laughed. Good fellow! It's no wonder that Link didn't take their lives, so this was what he was after!

There were quite a number of members from the three major factions captured here. If Link counted by headcount and one person required 100 fourth-grade soul crystal cores to be released, the major forces wouldn't be able to afford it, even if they sold everything they had!

Link raised his sword-like eyebrows slightly and glanced at Jiang Wencheng and the others obliquely. "Why, is there a problem?"

Pressure—created from killing intent and fierceness—instantly enveloped Jiang Wencheng and company.

Momentarily, these Stage Five powerhouses all felt a little frightened as if they had seen seas of blood and mountains of corpses appear in front of them!

How many people and monsters did this kid kill in order to have such an aura? This aura can even shock us, and we are all one Stage higher than him! This person is a mass killer!

Luo Haoyue—who was at the side—also turned to look at them. The corners of her mouth rose, revealing a cold smile.

Jiang Wencheng and the others' scalps all went numb. They dared not provoke these two mass killers and shook their heads quickly.

"No problem, but City Master Link, fourth-grade soul crystal cores are hard to obtain. You should know that Ancient Martial Alliance doesn't have a lot of reserves for this item. We are really unable to provide you with so many!" Wang Hao said in a low and hoarse voice.

"En, then one Stage Five member requires 100 fourth-grade soul crystal cores to be redeemed, and Stage Four members need 30 each. The deadline is one month. If no one comes to redeem you guys, then you guys shall just stay here," Link said flatly.

"This..." Jiang Wencheng and the others still wanted to bargain. This price is still too high; this is akin to skinning us clean!

Each faction had sent a dozen or so people here, consisting of two Stage Five powerhouses and several Stage Four powerhouses. Totaling up, each faction would need to pay 500 or 600 fourth-grade soul crystal cores!

This was simply an astronomical number!

This was kidnapping and extortion!

Link practically wanted to empty their reserves, break apart their bones, and suck out their marrows!

Jiang Wencheng, He Lunhai, and the others were all bleeding in their hearts...

The most important thing was that they weren't sure if their factions would pay such a high price to redeem them. Even if they were redeemed, they would definitely be punished severely.

But upon seeing Link's cold eyes, they still closed their mouths; it was just that their faces were a little green. If they continue to bargain, they might directly die here and now.

"Since there are no objections, please contact your respective factions later. As for now, I want to have a good chat with the people from Evil Sect." Link looked at Zhu Changfeng and Han Yingjie, a touch of teasing in his eyes.

Zhu Changfeng smiled forcefully and said, "Hehe, we have no objection to your proposal. I will contact the Elder in Evil Sect and send over the things as soon as possible."

"Yes, we will raise the crystal cores right away." Han Yingjie also nodded repeatedly.

"Don't pretend; you guys know what I want to say," Link said coldly.

Zhu Changfeng and Han Yingjie didn't continue to act dumb and stopped smiling. "City Lord Link, you want to ask about the [Boundary Breaking Talisman, right?"

Chapter 181: Spell Formation! Secret History!

Link kept quiet; his dark eyes were like two deep ancient wells, just watching Zhu Changfeng and Han Yingjie quietly.

When Ou Chen, Wu Hao, and the others heard 'Boundary Breaking Talisman,' these three words, they all cast their eyes over.

Being able to break the ruin's spell barriers forcefully... This talisman was undoubtedly a treasure!

There were more than one such ruins on Blue Star. Such ruins were either the legendary gods' places of inheritance or the remains of an unknown era. They were like treasures waiting to be opened.

And the [Boundary Breaking Talisman] was a key to open these treasures; it was something that all major factions would desire to have!

Momentarily, everyone's eyes gathered like a spotlight on Zhu Changfeng and the other Evil Sect members.

Han Yingjie's eyes were obscure, and he said in a deep voice, "The [Boundary Breaking Talisman] is used to open the ruin. Without the Boundary [Breaking Talisman, you guys can't enter this ruin either, City Master Link. A lot of energy is required to activate the [Boundary Breaking Talisman, and it's difficult for even a Stage Six Bright Moon-rank powerhouse to sustain the consumption.

"Only by using the formation we laid out will you be able to use the [Breaking Talisman] to open the ruin. And right now, only our Evil Sect has knowledge of the activation method. Moreover, there are still unknown risks in the ruin. Since both of us have common interests, how about we cooperate together?"

When his words just landed, Zhu Changfeng instantly said, "That's exactly the case. Without the method to activate the formation, you won't be able to use it even if you kill us and obtain the [Boundary Breaking Talisman] from our drops."

"City Master Link, the opportunity is right in front of you. Cooperate, and both of our parties will benefit. Divided, both sides will make a loss. I think you won't refuse to cooperate, right? As for the energy needed to open the ruins... City Master Link, you probably don't lack the base for the spell formation."

Zhu Changfeng paused and glanced at the Martial God Hall and Ancient Martial Alliance prisoners, smiling meaningfully.

As long as a part of these prisoners were thrown into the spell formation they had previously drawn, there would be enough energy to activate the [Boundary Breaking Talisman].

Wang Hao, He Lunhai, and the others naturally knew what Zhu Changfeng meant. Their expressions changed instantly, and they glared at Zhu Changfeng.

"Zhu Changfeng, what do you mean by this?"

"We established a covenant previously. Do you want to openly abolish the covenant and become an enemy of the factions behind us?"

"You are making two big enemies for Evil Sect by doing this! Can you bear the consequences? Zhu Changfeng, you have to think about this carefully!"

The prisoners kept shouting, but Zhu Changfeng was at ease and even laughed. "Haha, covenant? Stop joking! That thing is a joke in the first place; who will care about it? As for making enemies, wait until you guys survive this predicament first before talking about it!"

After ridiculing Wang Hao and the others, Zhu Changfeng looked at Link again and asked, "How about it? Have you decided, City Master Link? Of course, if City Master Link is unwilling to share the ruin with us, we are also willing to activate the spell formation and hand over the [Boundary Breaking Talisman to you so that you can open the ruin. This is as long as you promise to let us go."

Ou Chen curled his lips and asked, "You guys are so kind?"

"How can you know if you don't try?" Han Yingjie grinned.

If it were someone else other than Link, the person might have agreed. After all, the method of using the [Boundary Breaking Talisman] was in the Evil Sect's hands.

But Link was different. The real key to the ruin was quietly lying in his personal backpack at this moment.

He could open the ruin by himself, so he naturally wasn't concerned with the method that the Evil Sect talked about.

His mind flickering, Link still decided to gather some information first and see how many secrets these big factions had. Thus, he solemnly said, "Tell me about your understanding of this ruin."

"En?" Zhu Changfeng and the others were slightly taken aback when they heard this. This topic has changed too quickly, right? Link hasn't told us if he wanted to cooperate or not!

But they were currently all prisoners now, so they could only hold these complaints in their stomachs.

"Hurry up and talk. If not, my blade won't be polite with you guys." Zhao Yongkang drew out a long dark blade and spoke with a cold voice, the blade shining with a cold light.

His life was in the hands of others now. Thus, Zhu Changfeng didn't dare to procrastinate; he quickly said, "The location of this ruin was discovered by a high-level member of Evil Sect in an ancient scroll that was passed down from long ago. According to Evil Sect's ancient records, Blue Star was supposed to be an extremely powerful planet, but it suffered huge, world destruction-level catastrophes more than once."

"It's like reincarnation, happening again and again. Every time a civilization develops to prosperity, it will usher in destruction. The relics are the traces and seeds left by these civilizations annihilated in the dust of history. As for what actually exists in the ruin, we don't know either. However, it may be related to some legendary ancient civilizations. For example, the perished Atlantis, Babylon, and so on."

Upon hearing this, Link glanced at Jiang Wencheng, He Lunhai, and the others.

He Lunhai said solemnly, "We only know so much too. Only when we go inside can we know what's actually in the ruin. In addition, the descent of the apocalypse and the opening of space cracks signifies that the planet under our feet is recovering!"

"Recovering?" Zhao Yongkang repeated, chewing the meaning of the sentence.

"Yes, it's recovering!" He Lunhai affirmed, "We, who lived in reinforced concrete cities in the past—would we have ever thought that we would gain extraordinary abilities? We are witnessing myths and creating myths. What's more, Martial God Hall believes that the celestials in the legends are powerful [Doomsday Online] players too!"

Link smiled and commented, "This is an interesting speculation."

Tian Mingyuan saw that Link seemed to be very interested in the classics and secrets handed down, so he said, "City Master Link, in fact, there are some classics handed down in the Temple of Light as well. If you are interested, you can go to the Temple of Light and take a look. I believe the Temple Master will be very welcome."

Ou Chen's eyes lit up suddenly; he then smiled and said, "That's right! Brother Link, if you come to Bright Sun City, we will definitely treat you with hospitality!"

Saying so, Ou Chen even gave Tian Mingyuan a meaningful look. The older generation is indeed more experienced!

It didn't occur to Ou Chen to use the handed-down classics to tempt Link to join them.

Tian Mingyuan didn't understand the expression in Ou Chen's eyes; he only felt that the Holy Son might be thinking of some bad idea again.

"Well, it looks like I will indeed need to trouble you guys." Link nodded.

"City Master Link, what about the matter regarding the spell formation and cooperation?" Zhu Changfeng asked again.

A gleam of light flashed in Link's eyes. The people from Evil Sect mentioned the spell formation multiple times, which made him feel that this matter wasn't that simple. "You seem to be very concerned about that spell formation? Old Zhao, go and destroy that spell formation!"

"Yes, Lord." Zhao Yongkang nodded and turned to leave.

At this moment, a sharp shout suddenly sounded. "No!"

A hideous look flashed across Zhu Changfeng's face. After noticing that everyone was gazing at him, he immediately put away his emotions and said, "If you destroy the formation, none of us will be able to gain anything. Why do such a thing?"

"What if I don't need the spell formation at all?" Link sneered.

The atmosphere here instantly turned solemn!

Chapter 182: Countermeasure! Peak Stage Five!

"Don't need the spell formation..." Zhu Changfeng's eyes narrowed. "Could it be that City Master Link holds other means of opening the historical ruin?"

Jiang Wencheng, Wang Hao, Ou Chen, and the others directed their gazes toward Link. Their eyes flashed, each with their own guesses in their hearts.

Could it be that the key to the historical ruin is in this City Master Link's hands?

Link didn't care about those gazes at all; he only stared at Zhu Changfeng. "Whether or not I can open the historical ruin has nothing to do with you people. However, I'm afraid that spell formation isn't that simple, is it?"

As his voice fell, Zhu Changfeng and Han Yingjie's countenances constantly changed as if their weakness had been caught.

"City Master Link, if you don't destroy the spell formation, there will still be room for negotiation between us... If you insist on doing so, I'm afraid you will regret it by then!" Han Yingjie's expression was clouded as he threatened Link—fierce in manner but faint in heart.

Link's eyebrows arched slightly. These two people... don't have the slightest awareness of being captives.

He couldn't be bothered to say anything more. Instead, he headed out of the campsite with Zhao Yongkang and the others. The spell formation that Evil Sect arrayed should be in the Forest of Darkness. It shouldn't be too far.

Seeing Link turn around, Han Yingjie and Zhu Changfeng met eyes. Their expressions turned sinister, and frightening killing intent burst out from them.

Han Yingjie's limbs were bound by large amounts of spider silk, so he was unable to break free. He opened his mouth, and a streak of icy force condensed into a sharp blade and shot out, slicing toward Link's head.

The sound of air being broken came striking.

Link didn't even turn back; he merely shook his sleeve lightly. The [Spring and Autumn Sword Technique] was instantly launched!

Streaks of swift and fierce sword energy instantly emerged from the void and surrounded Link!

Having used [Spring and Autumn Sword Technique] many times, Link's grasp of swordplay had already reached a height difficult for an ordinary person to reach.

The surging sword energy was no longer bound to the sword; it moved in accordance with Link's intentions instead.

In an instant, the icy blade that came shooting was crushed by the sword energy! The tempestuous sword energy then kept going and directly blew up Han Yingjie's entire head!

Han Yingjie dared spit at Link; wasn't this using an unconventional method to seek his doom?

Fresh blood mixed with brains splattered in all directions; a good amount stained Zhu Changfeng's face as well. The blood was still warm, and the strong metallic scent rushed into his nose...

Zhu Changfeng was rather stunned presently.

There was indeed a problem with that spell formation! In reality, Han Yingjie and himself weren't the powerhouses that Evil Sect dispatched. There was also one powerhouse at Stage Five, Level 10, about to break through to Stage Six.

That spell formation seemed to be used for opening the historical, but it was actually resources prepared for that powerhouse's breakthrough to Stage Six.

Earlier, they were actually intentionally steering things. This was to make Link notice the problems with the spell formation and spur the Evil Sect's powerhouse hiding there into striking.

In the end, Han Yingjie was too into the show and didn't grasp his limits well. His blood was spilled then and there...

This made Zhu Changfeng's current feelings a little complicated...

Zhu Changfeng glanced at Link's back view and thought inwardly, In any case, the plan... should've succeeded! Elder Zheng, who is about to break through to Stage Six, should—no, he certainly will be able to kill this fellow and seize the historical ruin!

Zhu Changfeng shot a look at Jiang Wencheng and the few others who were captured and couldn't help revealing a strange smile. The first to laugh might not be the final winners. My Evil Sect will be the ones who truly get the last laugh!

As he was in thought, his face suddenly suffered a kick.

Ou Chen lifted his foot, gave Zhu Changfeng a side glance, and said with slight disdain, "This fellow is smiling so foolishly. It cannot be that he has suffered an emotional shock, right?"

Wu Hao and Tian Mingyuan silently looked away, pretending that they hadn't seen that.

In the center of the Forest of Darkness.

Beside the pit sketched with an array formation and mysterious incantations, a figure sat cross-legged in the distorted forest.

He was Evil Sect's Zheng Jinshang, a top powerhouse about to break through to Stage Six. Dressed in wide gray robes, he seemed to be one with the forest.

The aura all around him had been completely restrained by him. At first glance, it was difficult to notice Zheng Jinshang's existence.

All of a sudden, he opened his eyes, seeming to have sensed something as a hint of vigilance flashed across his face. "Someone is here; it's an unfamiliar aura! Has Zhu Changfeng and company met with a mishap?"

Previously, Zhu Changfeng secretly crushed the communication talisman and attracted Han Yingjie and the others.

Zheng Jinshang was aware of this too, but he was Evil Sect's hidden countermeasure. Thus, he didn't go forth to support them. Now that he was suddenly sensing an unfamiliar aura come close, he couldn't help the sprouting of some unpleasant associations in his heart.

Zheng Jinshang did not rush to strike; instead, he restrained his aura even more, becoming like a section of inconspicuous deadwood.

At the same, the footsteps of Link—who was approaching the spell formation—paused.

His mental strength had the [Talisman of Eternal Sleep] and his title's blessings. Hence, it far exceeded that of players at the same level; his senses were also more acute and powerful.

Moments before, he vaguely sensed that someone was watching them, and a few hints of alertness rose in his heart.

"Interesting." A speck of contemplation flashed through Link's eyes; his footsteps didn't stop as he continued to move forward.

Earlier, he had felt that Zhu Changfeng and Han Yingjie were being too intentional. So he knew that there had to be a significant problem with that spell formation.

It now seemed that the Evil Sect had indeed left a countermeasure here...

It wasn't just Link. Luo Haoyue—who had come along—also sensed it, and her gaze became colder.

Link gave her a look, signaling Luo Haoyue not to act rashly and alert the enemy.

Very soon, the party arrived beside the pit.

It was all [Doomsday Online] players inside the pit. They covered the area, lying in all directions. However, their chests were still rising and falling; they were fine for now.

This spell formation wouldn't only extract the magic within their bodies; vitality was also a part of it. This was also the reason why Zhu Changfeng and company hadn't killed them.

Zhao Yongkang jumped into the pit, about to awaken those players.

Right then, an inexplicable force swept across the area, and a sudden change struck!

The soil beneath Zhao Yongkang's feet swiftly turned into a mire. Palms covered in mud reached out from the mire and went for his ankles!

"This is... a domain!" Zhao Yongkang frowned and shouted. He was, after all, someone who had seen many great spectacles with Link. He instantly realized something was amiss, and he wasn't very flustered.

Zhao Yongkang instantly swung the longsword in his hands and slashed at those mud palms that came grabbing at him.

The jet-black sword ray flashed through, and the palms were broken, turning back into mud.

Lines of dense spider silk also came shooting at this point; they fastened around Zhao Yongkang's arms and brought him out of that mire.

Beside the pit was an area of ground covered in spider silk. Luo Haoyue had clearly launched her own domain as well and didn't allow the area to be affected by the enemy's domain.

A slightly hoarse voice sounded from the forest. "A Stage Five Star-rank powerhouse, and the rest are all Stage Fours. Your capabilities aren't too bad, but you aren't a match for me yet! What exactly happened at the campsite? Which faction do you people belong to? If you do not confess, all of you shall die here!"

As the words fell, a vast aura instantly shot to the skies. Ill winds surged, making one fearful!

That was the aura of a peak Stage Five existence—only a step away from a Stage Six Bright Moon-rank powerhouse!

Chapter 183: Summoner! Black-haired Ancient Corpse!

"The aura of a peak Stage Five existence! This spell formation was probably prepared by Evil Sect for his advancement to Stage Six!" Xue Linglong's pretty face was frosty as she shouted coldly.

She didn't respond to Zheng Jinshang's question and only made her own guess about the spell formation. The aberrated long spear was gripped in her hand, showing her valiant and heroic bearing.

Luo Xingyao brought out her longbow, and brilliant starlight gathered toward her jade-white palms, about to condense into arrows.

In contrast, Link and Luo Haoyue still appeared peaceful, even a little indifferent. A peak Stage Five [Doomsday Online] player was perhaps an unmatchable existence that others needed to look up to, but these two people really didn't take him to heart.

Xue Linglong and company actually weren't too nervous as well. After all, they had personally witnessed the destruction of a Sage's spiritual imprint. The enemy before their eyes could merely be considered a small fry—no, medium when compared to the blood shadow...

Seeing that Link and company maintained composed looks without the slightest fluster, Zheng Jinshang started frowning instead as he muttered inwardly. Are these fellows being emboldened by the support they have? However, the pressing matter is to confirm the situation on Zhu Changfeng's side; I will first capture one person and clarify things.

After Zheng Jinshang leaped out from the forest, he pushed his palm out without hesitation and released his skill. His gray robes flapped as streaks of gray light gathered in the empty air. Finally, they condensed into a large gray hand that came grabbing at Link!

This large hand broke through the air to come striking, bringing gusts of ill wind; indistinct wailing was even accompanying it.

The means that the majority of Evil Sect's powerhouses possessed tended to be dark, stressing on eeriness and sinisterness.

Xue Linglong and the others also acted.

The long, jet-black spear thrust out, and streaks of frosty powers spread with it. This long spear was quite compatible with Xue Linglong's profession. It could boost the might of her skills.

A huge dragon condensed from frost appeared in the air abruptly; it went ripping into the large gray hand with its teeth bared!

"Seven Stars Broken Moon!" With a delicate from Luo Xingyao, the Big Dipper illusion vaguely emerged before her. Endless starlight scattered down—mysterious and vast!

In the next instant, those waves of starlight condensed into arrows and shot out!

Zhao Yongkang also swung his longsword, and a pitch-black sword ray immediately charged into the skies!

A roar exploded in the area at once!

In the distance, Ou Chen and company—who were at the campsite—all sensed something and turned to look in the direction where Link and party had headed to.

"A battle has occurred on that side! It's the aura of a peak Stage Five existence; there is indeed something wrong with Evil Sect's spell formation!"

The countenances of Ou Chen, Wu Hao, and more turned cold instantly. Yet, Zhu Changfeng wore a gloating look when he saw their misfortune. He had waited until this happened at long last! It was his turn to stand with his head high!

When Elder Zheng strikes, he will certainly be able to reverse the situation!

"Hmph! That's right, my Evil Sect's Elder Zheng has already reached Stage Five, Level 10. With a breakthrough, he will be a Stage Six Bright Moon-rank powerhouse! It is totally impossible for that Link to be his match; my Evil Sect is the final winner!"

"Noisy!" Ou Chen had a hostile look and delivered another kick to Zhu Changfeng's face, directly giving a strong blow so that Zhu Changfeng couldn't speak anymore.

"Shall we go support Brother Link?" Wu Hao suggested with a frown.

Tian Mingyuan revealed a pondering expression and said slowly, "Is there a need to? Why do I feel that even a peak Stage Five existence wouldn't be Little Brother Link's match?"

It was truly because Link's earlier suppression of six Stage Five powerhouses had given them a great shock, so he subconsciously developed such a judgment.

In usual times, encountering a peak Stage Five existence would've long had them acting as if a formidable enemy was upon them.

"We should still go take a look. Brother Link's capabilities might be strong, but we mustn't let down our guard in all things!" Wu Hao boomed.

Ou Chen also nodded. "Then, I'll lead people to go support Brother Link. These captives cannot be left unguarded as well. Elder Wu, Elder Tian, both of you can stay behind with Brother Link's God Devourer Ant to watch the captives."

Both Elder Wu and Elder Tian nodded.

Ou Chen took several Stage Four Temple of Light powerhouses and rushed in the direction where the battle commotion was coming from.

At the same time.

In the center of the Forest of Darkness.

After the large gray palm that Zheng Jinshang condensed was bombarded by Xue Linglong and the others' skills, it merely turned a few hints duller; its might remained terrifying!

There was ultimately a huge chasm between Stage Four players and Stage Five players!

"Overconfident!" Zheng Jinshang's expression was full of provocation. Mere Stage Four players striking at me? Virtually comedic!

However, he soon couldn't laugh anymore!

With a turn of Link's palm, the [King's Sword instantly] appeared in his hand!

Link's entire demeanor became sharp the moment he gripped the longsword. A streak of sword intent surged into the sky and tore the clouds in the sky!

It was as if a ferocious beast in the abyss had abruptly opened its eyes; it also seemed as though a massive dozing dragon had suddenly swung its claws!

Chaos struck the universe!

A piercing sword ray—shrouding the tide-like sword energy—gushed out tempestuously!

That huge gray palm lasted less than a second in front of the sword ray before it cracked at every inch and turned into nothingness.

F*ck! The corners of Zheng Jinshang's eyes twitched uncontrollably. His entire person was rooted to the same spot! This is a Stage Four [Doomsday Online] player? A Stage Four [Doomsday Online] player can blow up my attack with a casual strike? How is this possible? Have I sensed wrongly!?

Zheng Jinshang hurriedly sensed Link again, but the aura radiating from Link's body truly hadn't entered Stage Five. Link was undoubtedly at Stage Four!

This made Zheng Jinshang even more shocked, so much so that a few hints of chill even rose in his heart.

He really didn't expect for a slap in the face to come so quickly!

This rascal isn't simple! Zheng Jinshang shed all of the underestimations and became serious. He didn't hesitate as he swiftly chanted the incantation and released his skill! "There are four directions in the heavens; there are four poles on earth; the Nether Lands are disorderly; the Rasho path[1]opens..."

Zheng Jinshang tossed a talisman, and it burned upon meeting the wind. Along with the incantation that Zheng Jinshang chanted, waves of chilly energy in the air constantly gathered toward the talisman.

Soon, the talisman was no more.

The waves of energy condensed into an ancient bronze door that stood in the mire.

This door was extremely real and appeared to be icy yet antique. It was covered in mottled verdigris and runes...

Creak!

A sound rang. A shaggy black palm emerged from within the door and slowly opened a gap in it!

Gusts of ill wind surged out from the door as if the netherworld was behind it!

Just the chilly winds that gushed out from the door were enough to make the low-level [Doomsday Online] players stiff—they completely lost their mobility.

The door that slowly opened even set off palpitations in Xue Linglong and company's hearts. It was as if a certain great terror hid behind the door!

Multiple breaths later, the door opened. However, Zhao Yongkang and the rest felt as if they had waited for an endless period that seemed like a lifetime.

An ancient corpse covered in black hair appeared in everyone's sights!

The ancient corpse's face had decayed. The spots where its eyeballs should've been were two pitch-black holes, looking as if they sought to devour everyone's souls!

Its mouth opened, and yellow fangs turned out, constantly dripping with foul saliva.

A hidden profession among Summoners... Is his special trait the ability to summon these nether creatures? Link wondered in his heart. His wrist danced once more, and a streak of sword energy immediately shot out!

[1] Rashōmon was subsequently used to refer to the border gates between the mortal world and hell

Chapter 184: Suppression! Invincible Against All Stage Six and Below!

Zheng Jinshang panted heavily, his aura seeming slightly weaker. This summoning was evidently rather draining. Even he—who had reached peak Stage Five—found it taxing. However, all of this was worth it.

This ancient nether corpse was extremely tyrannical; it was akin to a Stage Six Bright Moon-rank monster, enough to kill off this group of people and stabilize the situation for him!

A hint of savageness flashed across Zheng Jinshang's face. When he returned to his senses, he saw a stream of brilliant sword glow tear through the air and slash right toward the ancient corpse.

"Haha, laughable!" He couldn't help breaking into a hideous grin. These fellows before me are truly overconfident!

"This ancient nether corpse is an extremely powerful creature to begin with. Its body is nurtured with Yin energy, and its strength is enough to rival a Stage Six existence. The attack of a Stage Four being won't even be able to break through its defense at all!"

Amidst the sneer, the sword ray that Link swung out struck the ancient corpse, and a muffled thud instantly sounded. It sounded like a wooden club beating on bedding.

The figure of the hideous ancient corpse covered in black hair took several steps back before it stopped.

The sword glow had left a light mark on its body; rotting flesh turned out, with purplish-black blood trickling from it. This injury wasn't considered a severe one. But just this one wound had already caused Zheng Jinshang's gaze to change. The heart in his chest even dropped for a moment; he was rather shocked!

One had to know that the ancient nether corpse's defense was something that even he—a peak Stage Five existence—found difficult to break through!

A Stage Four player was actually able to leave a wound on the ancient corpse... Zheng Jinshang almost thought that he was seeing an illusion! How could he not feel surprised in his heart?

Link's eyes narrowed slightly, and he stared at the ancient corpse—which had black Yin energy lingering around it.

His earlier strike originally ought to cause a more severe injury, but the majority of its force had been stripped away. It was just like landing a punch on cotton; the force that the ancient corpse ultimately bore was much less.

Is it the black Yin energy that is helping the ancient corpse strip the strength? Link already had some guesses in his heart.

But no matter how good the ancient corpse was at stripping power, if Link were to strike with his all... With his powerful attribute screen, it would be enough to blow the other party up!

Wounded by a strike, the damage might not be great, but it was extremely insulting. It further incited the ancient corpse's ferociousness!

Deep inside its black hollow eye sockets, there seemed to be crimson glows lighting up!

Roar!

The ancient corpse's snarl shook the forest. White air blasts burst out; the killing intent was at full strength!

The snarls even carried the effect of mental impact; it caused Xue Linglong and the others' faces to turn pale and their gazes to turn blank.

Right then, the black-haired ancient corpse turned into a black shadow. Enveloping an extremely nauseating foul wind, it pounced directly toward Link!

Link had no intention of fighting with this monster; there really was no need to.

The [Holy Spirit Necklace] on his neck bloomed with radiance, and the [Holy Sword of the Light] skill was instantly launched!

The [King's Sword] danced, drawing out a quick and fierce sword arc. Streaks of light power gathered, and a splendid glow bloomed; in an instant, white light enveloped the world!

In the emptiness, pure holy light seemed to be scattering down. A huge golden sword—which was several feet long—suddenly appeared. Its might was vast, and a sacred aura shook the place as if it were a primordial divine punishment seeking to quell all evil and bewilderment!

The holy aura caused the ancient corpse's body—which came pouncing—to tremble. It paused as if it had encountered its natural enemy; it was fearful!

The pupils of Zheng Jinshang—who was slightly in the distance contracted greatly; shock and horror were written all over his face.

It wasn't just this holy sword's might that was terrifying; most importantly, his ancient nether corpse was inherently countered by this holy light's attributes!

Zheng Jinshang's heart pounded; a chill had already surged from his tailbone to the top of his skull!

Link took all of the ancient corpse and Zheng Jinshang's reactions in as the [King's Sword] rampantly landed!

Sword fall!

The massive holy sword similarly slashed down with the same thundering power!

The blinding white light reflected in everyone's eyes. The might of this strike caused the universe to turn dull!

Light damage that was 1,000% of Link's intelligence attribute... This was undoubtedly a frightening skill to the ancient nether corpse!

Facing the falling holy sword, the fierce light in the ancient corpse's eye sockets trembled unceasingly. It was extremely restless, like a convict awaiting their final judgment!

Roar!

The black-haired ancient corpse let out another snarl, but there was clearly insufficient power. It sounded a little flustered, and it was an empty show of strength.

The black mist around the ancient corpse surged madly, instantly turning into a huge shield that stood before him.

Rumble!

Explosions sounded without ceasing!

The massive shield formed by the black mist actually cracked at every inch!

The golden holy sword was like a hot knife slicing through butter—the huge black shield swiftly collapsed. The sword was totally difficult to resist!

The black-haired ancient corpse was about to retreat quickly, but the holy sword had already landed on his body; he could only let out a piteous shriek!

Rotting flesh was constantly crushed by the holy sword's sword energy. Before purplish-black corpse blood could flow, it had already evaporated and turned into nothingness.

"No!" As the summoner, Zheng Jinshang also let out an agonizing wail.

For the sake of convenient manipulation, a portion of his consciousness had adhered to the ancient corpse. Presently, this portion of consciousness was swiftly being worn away as if it were being dismembered!

Boom!

Amidst the stifled noise, a black shadow fell to the ground hard! It was the black-haired ancient corpse. Presently, it was long scarred and battered like a torn gunny sack. There were still holy flame wounds around its body; it was constantly being burned.

Its previous ferocity had long vanished.

Zheng Jinshang couldn't care for the piercing pain in his head. He hurriedly dashed toward the ancient corpse, wanting to employ his skills to do some salvaging or allow the ancient corpse to return to the Nether Lands and be nurtured with Yin energy.

But by the time he arrived, only remains of the ancient corpse were left on the ground—it couldn't be manipulated anymore!

Zheng Jinshang's eyes were full of resentment; he gritted his teeth so hard that they rattled.

This was a powerful ancient corpse that he had spent innumerable resources to cultivate, and it was the core of his combat ability. Now, everything was ruined!

Zheng Jinshang's eyes were red, fixed on Link like a wild beast on the verge of despair. "Return me my ancient corpse! It's absolutely irreconcilable between us!"

Link's countenance remained indifferent as he only said one word, "Noisy."

Zheng Jinshang's expression stiffened, and the rage in his heart flared! He didn't catch the slightest joy from defeating the ancient corpse and humiliation toward him in Link's words; there was only undisguised disregard!

It was as if Link had always thought nothing of him; he didn't have the slightest sense of presence!

This virtually triggered Zheng Jinshang such that he almost went mad. It made him even more miserable and indignant than having insults hurled at him!

"Kill! Kill... Kill you!" Zheng Jinshang roared lowly. He pulled out talismans from his bosom and tossed them toward the spell formation.

Xue Linglong and the others were instantly on the alert. He wants to activate the spell formation forcefully!

Originally, this spell formation had been prepared for Zheng Jinshang's breakthrough to Stage Six.

By using large numbers of high-level players as the formation's foundation, not only could it allow Zheng Jinshang to break through the bottleneck, but he could even possess a tyrannical corpse army!

Right now, the number of [Doomsday Online] players inside the formation was still insufficient, but Zheng Jinshang could no longer care for that much. He desperately wanted to take off the head of that man in white!

Obscure chanting sounded; the talismans that Zheng Jinshang tossed turned into blood-red runes and blended into the spell formation. A strange aura then rippled outward!

"We cannot let him activate the spell formation!" Zhao Yongkang's brows were tightly knitted; his eyes were filled with apprehension!

Chapter 185: Warm Up is over! Opening of the Ruins!

Anyone could see that chaos would break out if Zheng Jinshang successfully activated the formation!

It was likely that he wanted to break through to Stage Six Bright Moon-rank forcibly!

Xue Linglong, Luo Xingyao, and Zhao Yongkang all attacked Zheng Jinshang without hesitation. Brilliant skill light continued to bloom, and several attacks blasted toward him!

But the three of them weren't Link, after all. Due to the huge difference in their levels, their attacks were all blocked by a blood-colored film of light that suddenly appeared in front of Zheng Jinshang.

Zheng Jinshang waved talismans and chanted incantations non-stop within the film of light, and the formation runes gradually lit up with blood-red light!

Link's expression remained indifferent. He didn't give Zheng Jinshang the opportunity to activate the formation or the chance to struggle.

The next moment, silver light glowed from the [Ring of Teleportation] in Link's hand.

[Instant Teleport] was activated; his figure disappeared from where it was. When he appeared again, he wasn't far from Zheng Jinshang.

The two of them looked at each other, separated by the blood-colored film of light. Zheng Jinshang's expression instantly became fearful.

He obviously didn't expect Link to be able to cross the domain barrier and appear in front of him in the blink of an eye! He was completely caught off-guard!

Zheng Jinshang only felt frightened; his scalp was numb as if he were struck by lightning!

The [King's Sword] appeared once again, and the sharp blade cut a golden arc in the air!

[Spring and Autumn Sword Technique] activated!

Harsh sword energy surged. A stream of sword glow resembling a long river of sword energy rushed toward Zheng Jinshang.

Cracks instantly began to appear on the blood-colored film of light, which was originally solid as gold. The cracks were like a spider web as they continued to expand!

Zheng Jinshang also quickly responded by throwing out different talismans. These talismans were the same protective talismans that Zhu Changfeng had used earlier. Each one was equivalent to a protective skill and was quite precious.

At this moment, Zheng Jinshang threw them out as if they weren't worth anything. Four talismans spontaneously combusted one after another; the energy intertwined and turned into four giant shields in front of him, layer after layer!

But at this moment, the [King's Sword]'s aura suddenly changed, swirling out a death aura! Black power of death converged on the blade; it was the power of silence that all beings feared!

[Death Judgment]!

The sky darkened in a matter of moments, and a vast and great figure seemed to have emerged behind Link!

The figure—dressed in a broad black robe with a huge hood to hide its face—held a great silver scythe, shining with a palpitating cold light!

The moment it appeared, heaven and earth shook as if in fear.

This figure seemed to be the end of all things—eternal silence!

The great silver scythe swung out with the [King's Sword] as a dense death aura filled the place.

Zheng Jinshang—who was hiding behind the barrier—didn't feel the slightest sense of security. Instead, he felt suffocated. His body was cold; it was as though he had fallen into an ice cave.

He felt the aura of death. It was very different from the aura he felt from the light power when Link killed the ancient nether corpse.

How is this possible? Zheng Jinshang's heart shook wildly, and his face twisted in disbelief! What kind of a terrifying existence have I provoked that caused the power of two opposing attributes to appear?

Something like this was unheard of! It should be known that a player would have to be extremely lucky in order to awaken a special attribute. This kid in front of him was a monster!

Zheng Jinshang didn't have the slightest thought of resistance. His previous resentment and anger were totally extinguished as if a pot of cold water was poured over his head!

At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind: Run! I want to escape from here!

But as soon as Zheng Jinshang moved, the deathly sword broke and crumbled the defensive barriers in front of him.

The palpitating sword light targeted him like the God of Death's gaze!

Crack!

It sounded like silk being ripped apart!

The sword energy pierced through Zheng Jinshang's head, and his body was in a disastrous state. It flew backward into the distance like a broken sack.

The death energy remaining in his body took away every bit of vitality forcefully.

In just a few breaths, Zheng Jinshang's corpse became withered and decayed as if he had been dead for several years!

Reaping life and bringing about eternal silence—this was [Death Judgement]!

The shadow behind Link disappeared, and peace was restored to the place once again.

This sword didn't trigger the instant death effect, but as a summoner with the [Exorcist] hidden profession, Zheng Jinshang wasn't known for his physical strength.

Link's strong attributes—coupled with the skill effects—were enough for a one-hit kill on such a physically weak profession!

Link put away the [King's Sword] and turned his head to look in the direction of the camp, where the entrance to the ruin was!

After the warm-up, it was time to enter the ruin!

Link was planning to break through to Stage Five as soon as possible and build his own domain. Hence, he hoped that this ruin—which was coveted by the major factions—wouldn't let him down.

As Link was lost in his thoughts, several figures suddenly scurried out of the forest. It was Ou Chen and a few Temple of Light players.

They looked at the aftermath of the battle, slightly stunned.

"Didn't they say there was a terrifying powerhouse at the peak of Stage Five? Where is everyone?"

"Has he been killed?!"

Zhao Yongkang pondered for a moment before nodding. "That's right; our City Master has killed him!"

He was slightly taken aback. The sword containing the dense death aura was terrifyingly powerful.

At that moment, Link seemed to have transformed into a god that dominated life and death, leaving the others in awe.

Upon Hearing Zhao Yongkang's response, a few Temple of Light members' expressions became complex. Some were shocked, some were in a trance, and most were appalled!

What kind of terrifying combat power did one have to possess to kill a powerhouse at the peak of Stage Five in such a short moment? It would be difficult for another powerhouse at the peak of Stage Five, and even a Stage Six Bright Moon-rank powerhouse, to do so!

One had to know that killing and defeating were two different matters! How could a powerhouse at the peak of Stage Five not have some tricks up their sleeves?

A powerhouse at Stage Four, Level 8 killed another powerhouse at Stage Five, Level 10. It was a big cross-level kill!

City Master Link was indeed terrifyingly powerful!

They were Stage Four [Doomsday Online] players. But in this case, comparisons were odious.

A few Temple of Light members even began to feel guilty. Being the same level as City Master Link, they felt like they had disgraced other Stage Four players and City Master Link...

Ou Chen was also momentarily stunned, but he already knew how powerful Link was, or rather, he was numb to such blows. Hence, he soon recovered.

Laughing, Ou Chen said, "This is how powerful Link is, awesome!"

But in his heart: Damn, I made another trip for nothing. Even a Stage Five, Level 10 existence was no match for Brother Link! Can I still catch up?

Link couldn't be bothered by these people's thoughts. He let them wrap up the scene.

Some of those [Doomsday Online] players—who were captured to act as the formation's foundation—were previously caught in the enemy's domain. They were affected by it and needed to be rescued immediately.

Ou Chen and the others immediately became busy...

Chapter 186: A Problem with the Ruins!

The Temple of Light players that were priests waved their staffs non-stop, casting healing spells on the rescued [Doomsday Online] players.

As Zheng Jinshang's domain turned the ground into a silt swamp, many people were half-underground at this moment and needed to be dug out. They were quite embarrassed.

From time to time, someone would exclaim out loud. These people would be someone who had lost consciousness and was awakened by the excavation. There were also quite a few misunderstandings.

"Damn! Why have I been buried? Evil Sect, you have no humanity!"

"What the heck! You can kill us if you want to, but it's inhumane to bury us alive!"

"As expected, the powerful factions are not to be trusted!"

Ou Chen: "..."

Zhao Yongkang: "..."

After explaining everything clearly, these talented people finally understood that the ones in front of them weren't from the Evil Sect. Instead, they were good people who had saved them from the Evil Sect's claws.

At this time, there were finally words of gratitude.

These people—who had been rescued and freed from the destiny of becoming the formation's foundation—were all grateful to Link and the others.

Ou Chen basked in those grateful gazes as he waved his hand awe-inspiringly. "Everyone, there's no need for thanks. The God of Light is always watching over us. Let us believe that darkness and fog are always only temporary, while light is eternal!"

Link raised his sword-like eyebrows slightly; he knew what was coming.

As soon as Ou Chen spoke, it was obvious he was out to convince them of something...

After a few generous words and calming everyone's emotions, Ou Chen quietly whispered to the Temple of Light members beside him. "These people aren't weak; they are all Stage Three or Stage Four [Doomsday Online] players, and they can be considered the various forces' backbones. Find a way to win their favor and gratitude; then, fool them—no, convince them to join our Temple of Light!"

The man from the Temple of Light suddenly nodded. "In this way, our Temple of Light can grow a little bit more; the Holy Son is really farsighted."

"Heh, I like you. Study hard, and you will become somebody great in the future." The Holy Son—Ou Chen's mouth curved, revealing an unreadable smile. He looked at the man appreciatively.

At this moment, a hand was placed on Ou Chen's shoulder.

"What's the matter? Did something happen again?" Ou Chen frowned slightly and turned his head around.

Zhao Yongkang's determined face suddenly came into view.

"Brother Zhao..."

"Our City Master asked me to pass a message—he wants all the people here. Just stay out of the way and give up trying to get them on your side."

Ou Chen's brows twisted together, and his expression was instantly subdued. "How is Unfallen City so greedy? There are 20 to 30 people here. You could share with the Temple of Light."

Before, it was also because of these 20 to 30 people that he suggested that they come to the Forest of Darkness to Tian Mingyuan and Wu Hao.

This number of Stage Three and Four [Doomsday Online] players made quite a formidable force!

If Ou Chen were able to turn this in his favor, the high-level Temple of Light elders would be overjoyed...

A voice suddenly came from nearby. It was as indifferent as before, lacking all emotion. "Why, do you have an opinion?"

Ou Chen's body suddenly stiffened. Even without looking, he knew it was Link who had spoken. He skillfully contorted his face into a smile. "No, it's not a big deal. Brother Link saved these people, so, of course, you are in charge."

As he spoke, Ou Chen tapped the Temple of Light member on the chest again. "Go, tell them about Unfallen City and about how great our Brother Link is!"

The man from the Temple of Light was silent.

Ou Chen's face was docile. There seemed to be two words written on his face—'understanding' and 'agreement.' However, his heart was bleeding. It was as if a sad person was kneeling on the ground and wailing: "That's 20 to 30 [Doomsday Online] players of the same rank, no... no more!"

Link nodded slightly and stopped paying attention. He turned to look at the items that Xue Linglong had handed over.

These items were all in Zheng Jinshang's personal backpack and had dropped after he died.

There were a few talismans with hidden attacks and some miscellaneous items that assisted in combat. They weren't of great value. After all, if [Doomsday Online] players obtained valuable items such as skill scrolls, they would definitely use them immediately rather than keep them.

One of the ancient books within this pile of items attracted Link's attention. The book seemed to be quite old. On the cover—written in an official script—was: 'Master Qingxuan's Chronicles of Strange Happenings.'

There were strange happenings recorded in an ancient language, and there were even illustrations of formations. The formation that the Evil Sect had laid on the ground was included.

As Link read through the book, a system notification sounded in his ears.

[Host's comprehension of Xuanming's Body Sacrifice Formation 1]

It seemed like he could use this book to learn something about formations!

He had found a treasure!

Link's eyes flashed; this was what he had wanted to get from the powerful factions. Secrets, formations, and even some special methods were extremely precious. It was difficult for ordinary people to obtain them; only the powerful factions had them!

To Link, this ancient book was far more important than equipment!

He didn't take a closer look. After casually scanning through it, he put it in his personal backpack, planning to study it when he was free later.

At this moment, Zhao Yongkang and Luo Xingyao walked over, their expressions embarrassed.

"What's wrong?"

Zhao Yongkang said, "City Master, some of the rescued people originally belonged to other cities' teams. They aren't exiled powerhouses and have their own affiliations..."

Link immediately understood that they had encountered difficulties in recruiting labor workers.

Ou Chen saw the opportunity to show off his talents and immediately leaned over. "Brother Link, don't worry. I'm well versed in that; let me talk to them."

Link glanced at Ou Chen and waved his hand disdainfully. "I have a way too."

Ou Chen was surprised. He knew Link was powerful, but his character was cold and indifferent. Link didn't talk very much; it was as if his every word was extremely precious.

Can he convince those people? Anyway, Ou Chen didn't believe it. He was even mentally anticipating to see Link embarrass himself.

Flashes of curiosity even streaked across Zhao Yongkang and Luo Xingyao's faces. They also wanted to know how Link would convince those people. With righteous and awe-inspiring words? These people aren't children. They have families in other cities, so why would they want to work for Link in Unfallen City? He is most likely going to solicit them with offers of some benefits.

In fact, among those who were unwilling to join Unfallen City, there were many people who were waiting to see what he would offer.

After all, these people weren't the original No Retreat Army. Although Stage Three and Stage Four powerhouses weren't top players, they weren't weak either.

Although they had been attracted here by the news of the ruin and were hoodwinked by the Evil Sect, they all had homes and places to retreat to. Unfallen City was not their only choice.

Zhao Yongkang and the others soon brought Link to those who were unwilling to join Unfallen City.

After the priests' treatment, these people still looked pathetic. However, they seemed to be in good health.

Some of the Stage Four powerhouses—who were leading them—stood arrogantly with their arms crossed across their chests as they mentally looked Link over.

Zhao Yongkang patted someone on the shoulder. "Our City Master wants to talk to you personally."

The man turned his head away with an arrogant look. "Don't touch me! I'm from Ancient Spirit City!"

Chapter 187: Physical Persuasion! Pledging Their Fealty One After Another!

The actions of the man from Ancient Spirit City immediately caused Zhao Yongkang, Ou Chen, and the others to feel slightly unhappy.

Before Zhao Yongkang could speak, a gentle-looking Stage Four powerhouse stepped forward.

The two seemed to know each other well, and the Stage Four powerhouse immediately reprimanded, "Guo Jian'an, why are you so rude? Did your parents not teach you that you should be grateful to your savior?"

Only then did Guo Jian'an become less arrogant and impatient. However, he still muttered, "I didn't say anything wrong; we are from somewhere..."

"Shut up." The Stage Four powerhouse glanced at Guo Jian'an and saw that the latter had lowered his head and stopped speaking. Only then did he cast an apologetic look at Link and the others. "My apologies, we have made fools of ourselves. My name is He Fan. We come from Ancient Spirit City. Guo Jian'an is my subordinate. I have not taught him properly; please forgive us."

"I heard from Mr. Zhao here that Sir intends to recruit us. You flatter us, but it's just that we already belong to Ancient Spirit City. I'm afraid it will be hard for us to be of service to you... I can only hope that there will be a chance in our next life to dedicate our lives to you, Sir, as repayment for your kindness!"

Saying that, He Fan spread his hands. His expression was an appropriate mix of three parts helplessness, four parts regret, and three parts gratitude...

He Fan's words not only helped him out of a very embarrassing situation but also everyone else.

Some people around them immediately picked up the conversation.

"That's right. We are grateful to Sir for saving our lives, but we already belong to a city, and it will be difficult for us to be of service to you."

"Your kindness will be remembered, Sir. However, I'm afraid we are unable to answer your recruitment call."

"Sire, a melon forcibly harvested will not be sweet..."

The voices were incessant, and the situation suddenly became difficult to control.

Ou Chen's eyes suddenly narrowed, and light flickered in his eyes. Good fellow, I have met a master!

He Fan and Guo Jian'an were putting on the good cop, bad cop act. It was an act they were obviously familiar with. Not only did they advance in the guise of retreating, but they also incited so many people. It had completely blocked Link's attempt at recruitment!

Ou Chen couldn't help but look at Link. He wondered what Link planned to do.

When Zhao Yongkang and the others saw this, they all helplessly looked at Link.

Link just glanced at the man named He Fan and spoke without a trace of emotion. "You seem to be mistaken."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing that, everyone seemed to stop talking and turned to look at Link. Mistaken? What are we mistaken about?

Link's expression was indifferent. His eyes were like two cold stars, slowly sweeping across the crowd.

The atmosphere suddenly became subdued.

"I am not asking you to join us, nor am I negotiating terms with you. If I can save you, I can also send you to your graves. Rein in your little bit of cleverness. Right now, only those who prove their worth can live! I hope you will seize this opportunity."

With those merciless words, Link suddenly clenched his hand. In an instant, the [King's Sword] appeared in his hand, and the cold sword edge glinted menacingly in the sun.

Without saying more, Link brought the sword down.

A fierce sword aura suddenly whizzed out. The dense sword energy was trapped within like a powerful torrent!

With the appearance of that sword, the world trembled. The sword energy could be felt for hundreds of meters!

Boom!

A roar exploded.

A torrent of sword energy passed by the group of survivors and bombarded the ground.

Sand and rocks flew, and the ground cracked, leaving a deep gully filled with dense sword intent!

At this moment, the entire place was dead silent.

Silence—

The bodies of all the survivors froze, and their scalps turned numb. It was as if they had been instantly turned into clay puppets. Their sweaty hair stood on end, and cold sweat covered their foreheads!

At the moment Link swung his sword, they all felt an indescribable sense of crisis! It was like a sickle of death resting on their necks—they seemed to be getting nearer and nearer to death!

Even the few Stage Four powerhouses were no exception. This sense of oppression and crisis was even stronger than when facing a Stage Five Star-rank powerhouse!

Guo Jian'an—who had been extra troublesome earlier—had become exceptionally pale. On his back, his clothes had turned wet from cold sweat. The wind blew, chilling him thoroughly...

He Fan's expression was also full of horror and panic. He was also a Stage Four powerhouse. He knew very well that, even if he tried his best, he might not be able to withstand half of Link's attack!

At this moment, these survivors realized how large the gap between them and Link was! It was like a chasm; they were completely overwhelmed by Link's combat power!

These survivors weren't the only ones stunned. Even Ou Chen, Zhao Yongkang, and the others' expressions froze immediately.

At this moment, the expression in Ou Chen's eyes was extremely complicated, and his feelings were even more jumbled. He looked at the gully and then at Link, who was expressionless. You said you had a way to convince them? This was it?! Persuasion by physical means? Gatling Bodhisattva?!

After a while, many people swallowed hard and slowly recovered.

Someone sighed. "City Master Link has such good swordsmanship; it is admirable. I am willing to join Unfallen City. It's my honor to serve the City Master!"

Once someone got the ball rolling, everyone else immediately voiced their agreement.

"I'm also willing to join City Master Link. Good birds choose good trees to live in; I only know what a good overlord should be like after seeing City Master Link today!"

"I will join too. I am willing to serve you!"

The voices continued, and the previously reluctant people became enthusiastic suddenly. It was as though they had been instantly conquered by Link's charming personality. They came one after another to pledge their fealty.

He Fan also changed his attitude completely. He no longer spoke of repaying the favor in his next life; otherwise, he might really have to die on the spot.

These people suddenly came to their senses. Those on the sidelines no longer dared to harbor any opposing thoughts.

What a joke. This City Master Link was obviously a killing machine. If they annoyed him, there wouldn't even be enough of them for his sword to finish one cut.

Terrified... they were terrified. Retreat, and the skies will clear. Give in to terror, and one will have a good life ahead.

Looking at the situation in front of them that had suddenly changed, Zhao Yongkang and Xue Linglong looked embarrassed.

Their City Master had always had a disposition for killing, and he had always persuaded others with brute strength.

What else could they say? Zhao Yongkang could only say: "Ah... here! One by one, report your name, profession, and your specialties. Register here."

Ou Chen couldn't help but put his hand to his forehead. Gatling Bodhisattva; this method worked really well against these people.

Link glanced at the people who were scrambling to register their abilities and said flippantly, "That Guo Jian'an is only Stage Three and has no value. Does the Temple of Light want him? Otherwise, there's no need to keep him alive."

When the indifferent words fell, Guo Jian'an lower abdomen tightened immediately. He almost peed. He quickly shouted, "I'm valuable; I'm valuable. I'm willing to go through fire and water for the City Master!"

Link couldn't even be bothered to look at him. His gaze turned to Ou Chen.

Ou Chen was stunned. "Don't kill him, hehe; I'll take him. Guo Jian'an, come to my side. Work hard in the future, and I won't treat you badly."

Stage Three, although not elite, was still substantial. Ou Chen was resigned to this.

After dealing with these trivial matters, Link walked toward the three powerful factions' previous camp.

Kidnapping the three major forces' members and subduing this group of people was just incidental. His real purpose was to unlock the Epochal Ruins...

Chapter 188: Boundary Breaking Talisman! Powerful Item!

In the camp, Tian Mingyuan and Wu Hao hurriedly stepped forward and asked in concern about Link's return.

"Brother Link, we noticed a battle over there just now. Have you encountered an enemy? What's the situation? Are there any injuries?"

The God Devourer Ant also vibrated its thin wings, turning into a black shadow as it flew over. It hummed with intimacy toward Link.

This fierce beast—which was strong enough to tear apart a Stage Five powerhouse—was extremely tame when facing its master, Link.

When Zhu Changfeng saw Link's figure appear, his pupils suddenly shrank. His whole body stiffened, and even his heart stopped for a beat! This god of killing actually came back alive! It's over!

He wasn't a fool and naturally knew what this meant. The hidden plan arranged by the Evil Sect must've failed. Even Elder Zheng—who had read the peak of Stage Five—also couldn't kill him? Is it really true that a scourge lasts for a thousand years?

There was a burst of sadness and despair in Zhu Changfeng's heart, and the size of his psychological shadow continued to expand until it was too large to be measurable.

Link patted the God Devourer Ant's head and said calmly, "It's okay; I found a peak Stage Five existence that we missed out on just now and have already killed him."

"Oh, it's good as long as you guys are fine..." Tian Mingyuan was continuing the conversation, but he suddenly stopped but when he realized what Link was saying! "Huh? A peak Stage Five powerhouse? Already dead?!"

"Er..."

Tian Mingyuan and Wu Hao's eyes became dazed, and they almost thought they had auditory hallucinations. When they saw Link nod slightly, they knew that they hadn't heard it wrong.

Link's tone was flat, but these words were tantamount to a thunderbolt striking their heads heavily! It was like a huge boulder had been dropped into the lake of their hearts, causing countless ripples!

Tian Mingyuan and Wu Hao were dumbfounded—even the captives were also shocked, their faces full of terror!

Everyone was speechless.

Saying that he killed a peak Stage Five powerhouse with such a plain tone... Does he really think that Stage Five powerhouses are like Chinese cabbages that can be found on the streets?

He sounds as if any person can chop a path from the west entrance of the market to the south entrance with a watermelon knife?

That's the top powerhouse of mankind at this stage, and there aren't many even among the top factions!

Why are you so calm, you bastard?

Seeing that Link didn't intend to elaborate, Wu Hao and Tian Mingyuan could only turn their heads and ask Ou Chen, who came back with Link.

Ou Chen didn't conceal what happened and divulged everything he knew.

After hearing that Link had killed an ancient black-haired corpse comparable to a Stage Six powerhouse with one slash of the sword, everyone couldn't help sucking in a cold breath. The way they looked at Link also became even stranger. This kid is just a monster!

After Ou Chen finished speaking, the rest learned of what happened and also knew of the Evil Sect's plan.

The group of prisoners—such as Wang Hao of Ancient Martial Alliance and He Lunhai of Martial God Hall—had cold sweat all over their bodies. The veins on their foreheads jumped violently upon hearing this.

If it hadn't been for Link's intervention, they would still be kept in the dark by Evil Sect!

If they completed the formation according to the Evil Sect's plan and let that Elder Zheng reach Stage Six, what awaited them was definitely a calamity!

The people from Ancient Martial Alliance and Martial God Hall didn't know if they should be rejoicing in the current situation.

In short, their hatred had been focused on the Evil Sect at this moment!

They immediately glared at Zhu Changfeng and the other remaining Evil Sect members, scolding and yelling at them. Some of them even craned their necks and spat at Zhu Changfeng.

"Damn it! So that formation isn't for opening the ruins at all! Zhu Changfeng, how dare you lie to us!"

"Damn it! Zhu Changfeng, you deserve to die! You harmed so many people just for one person to advance in stage! Your conscience has been eaten by dogs!"

Zhu Changfeng's face went green, but he couldn't change the situation in front of him. He sneered and said, "Humph, don't speak like you guys are clean. When we proposed to use humans as the spell formation's base, didn't you all agree as well!? You guys are no better; we are all the same kind of people!"

A voice suddenly sounded, and everyone stopped their cursing.

"Shut up." Link swept his gaze across the crowd with cold eyes and finally stopped, focusing on Zhu Changfeng's face. Then, he insipidly said, "It's time to hand over the item."

Both Han Yingjie and the hidden powerhouse of Evil Sect were dead, and neither of them dropped the [Boundary Breaking Talisman]. Therefore, it could only be with Zhu Changfeng!

Zhu Changfeng's face turned pale; he knew what Link was talking about, and he had no doubt that if he tried to delay giving it to him again, Link would definitely send him off to the road to hell!

After all, even if he hid the [Boundary Breaking Talisman] in the system backpack, it would definitely drop if he was killed.

Zhu Changfeng didn't take the opportunity to mention any more conditions to Link. It was unnecessary, and he was in no position to do so as well.

Zhu Changfeng quickly opened his personal backpack, and a talisman exuding silver brilliance appeared in front of everyone instantly.

The talisman was very mysterious and extraordinary-looking. As soon as it appeared, it floated in the air, exuding a soft halo. An aura of Dao was also rippling from it!

In its surrounding space, mysterious runes flashed and disappeared continuously.

Even the vast and ethereal voice of Daoism faintly sounded in everyone's ears as if it had come from a place far and long ago—mysterious and leisurely.

For a moment, a flash of desire flashed in everyone's hearts.

A supreme treasure! It is definitely an extremely powerful high-end item!

Wang Hao and He Lunhai stared at the [Boundary Breaking Talisman] without blinking. Green light appeared in their eyes, and a touch of greed flashed across their faces.

Even Ou Chen and Tian Mingyuan couldn't help but feel the desire to obtain this item. However, they were Link's allies. Although they were greedy for this talisman, they wouldn't covet or snatch it.

In their opinion, Link was far more important than a powerful item.

While looking at the [Boundary Breaking Talisman, there was a glimmer of light in Link's eyes. This is the sense of Space! This Boundary Breaking Talisman is a space-type item; no wonder it can open the ruins forcibly!

Space and Time—these two attributes were both extremely powerful and rare, surpassing most special attributes!

Since it had the sense of Space on it, this [Boundary Breaking Talisman] was definitely not an ordinary item!

In the scorching eyes of everyone, Link waved his hand, placing the [Boundary Breaking Talisman] into his hand.

Soon, a piece of information entered Link's mind.

[Boundary Breaking Talisman]

Grade: Epic (incomplete)

Introduction: It contains immense spatial power. It is said to be made by Daoists who understood the void in ancient times. After years of erosion, its core essence is slightly insufficient, and the state is incomplete.

Additional skill 1: [Boundary Breaking] (Passive Skill): The user can inject their own energy to activate the [Boundary Breaking Talisman] to break through barriers and space restrictions.

Number of usages: 2/2

Note: The higher the barrier level, the greater the energy consumption. Base level to use this item: Stage Six.

Additional skill 2: [Void Exile] (Active Skill): (Incomplete state, still sealed.)

After reading the information of the [Boundary Breaking Talisman, Link couldn't help but feel a sense of joy.

This is indeed a powerful item! It's able to break through spell barriers! It's just that the usage requirement is too high, and there's a limit on the number of times it can be used. If not, just this skill alone is enough for it to become a Legend-grade item.

Link was filled with anticipation. What kind of transformation will it undergo under my [Supreme Blessing] skill?

Chapter 189: Blessing! Open the Ruins!

Link's mind moved slightly and cast [Supreme Blessing].

Brilliant streamers gathered and wrapped the [Boundary Breaking Talisman] into a ball of brilliance in his hand!

Momentarily, the faint sound of Dao faintly spreading into the crowd became clearer, and a rich sense of Dao rippled out!

It was as if someone was chanting from above the nine heavens, revealing a certain profound and mysterious truth of the world!

Wu Hao, Ou Chen, and the prisoners—such as He Lunhai—all showed surprised expressions as they stared at the [Boundary Breaking Talisman] floating in the air. They didn't understand what had happened!

"What's happening..." Ou Chen opened his mouth slightly, his expression dumbfounded.

But the sound of Dao wasn't all to this matter. As the sense of Dao got stronger and stronger after a while, the space in front of everyone became faintly distorted!

The void was like a curtain, with someone holding a corner and slowly lifting it up so that others could have the privilege of seeing the truth behind the curtain.

A starry sky—blended with infinite colors—appeared in front of everyone!

The radiance of various colors and the endless beautiful scene were mesmerizing. The unspeakable grandeur and mystery stunned everyone's hearts!

It should be noted that even Stage Five powerhouses also couldn't break apart space with their own power. Only Sage-stage powerhouses had the power to break apart space!

But at this moment, the space in front of them was actually affected and distorted!

A touch of shock and astonishment flashed across everyone's faces!

Only Link remained calm; he even wanted to laugh a little bit. This was a phenomenon caused by the blessing. The more incredible the phenomena, the more powerful the [Boundary Breaking Talisman] would be.

After a few breaths of time, the extremely brilliant colors of the stars disappeared.

After the blessing, the [Boundary Breaking Talisman] returned to Link's hand. As he checked the talisman, a message entered his mind.

[Boundary Breaking Talisman]

Grade: Myth

Introduction: It contains the unpredictable power of space; it's said to be the product of a certain Daoist after studying the void in ancient times. After a phenomenon that caused a huge impact during that time, this Daoist—who was obsessed with the stars—disappeared. Some people said that he had ascended into the greater void, while some said that he had already passed away. This talisman is one of the few legacies he left behind...

Additional skill 1: [Boundary Breaking] (Passive Skill): The user can inject their own energy to activate the [Boundary Breaking Talisman] to break through barriers and space restrictions.

Cooldown: 60 days (can consume large amounts of void energy to accelerate the cooldown process).

Note: The higher the barrier level, the greater the energy consumption. Basic level to use this item: Stage Six.

Additional skill 2: [Void Exile] (Active Skill): The user can activate the [Boundary Breaking Talisman] to consume the power of space and tear apart space, create a void crack, and banish any unit to the distant stars.

Cooldown: 2 days (can consume large amounts of void energy to accelerate the cooldown process).

Basic level to use this item: Stage Six.

After seeing the [Boundary Breaking Talisman]'s attributes, even someone as calm as Link found it difficult to remain calm, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

He had gained a huge treasure! The Evil Sect had really given him a huge gift!

After the blessing, the talisman's effect had become even more powerful! It became a Myth-grade item. Also, not only was the usage limit removed, but the [Void Exile] skill was also unlocked.

As long as Link met the requirement to use the talisman, not only would he possess a key that could unlock the various ruins but also powerful means to use against his enemies.

How overbearing would it be to exile the enemy directly into the void!? It should be noted that only upon reaching Stage Eight, Semi-Sage, could a person possess the mighty power of shattering space.

As for those below Stage Eight, unless they had some special items or methods, most of them would be unable to destroy space!

[Void Exile, for most existences below Stage Eight, was practically insoluble!

Link placed the [Boundary Breaking Talisman] into his personal backpack and spoke in his heart to himself. The big factions' members really are a flock of big, fat sheep!

He had made up his mind to have more close contact with these big factions' members in the future.

Thinking about this, Link couldn't help but glance at Zhu Changfeng. Although there were obvious shoe prints on his face, it was more pleasing to the eye than before.

Zhu Changfeng's scalp went numb. His face was bitter, and he wailed in his heart, God damn it! This god of killing is thinking of making use of me again?!

Ou Chen—who was at the side—slowly put away the shock on his face and looked at Link as he asked, "Brother Link, what was that phenomenon just now?"

"Could it be..." Ou Chen frowned, a wise light flashing in his eyes as he said, "Were you trying to activate the [Boundary Breaking Talisman] just now to open the ruin?"

"I thought only those who reached Stage Six could use it?" A look of surprise flashed across Tian Mingyuan's face.

"The ruin wasn't opened. Maybe it's because Brother Link didn't meet the requirement to use it," Wu Hao said in a deep and hoarse voice.

Link nodded slightly. These people had good imagination capabilities, saving him the effort of thinking up an excuse to cover up the phenomena caused by the blessing.

"En, I was just trying out the effect. However, I can open the ruin even without the [Boundary Breaking Talisman]."

Upon hearing Link's affirmative words, everyone's eyes changed slightly, but they weren't very surprised. After all, they had previously guessed that the key to the ruin should be in Link's hands.

Tian Mingyuan stood up; he knew that it was time for the Temple of Light to leave.

Although Link had a good relationship with them, even biological brothers needed to settle their accounts clearly. Since the Epochal Ruins belonged to Link, they shouldn't covet them so as not to damage their relationship with Link.

Even if the ruin represented opportunities, it wasn't worth it to fall out with Link over it.

"If this is the case, then we shall also leave now and not delay City Master Link from exploring the ruin. I hope you will come to Bright Sun City as a guest when you have time. We can formally form an alliance with each other to help each other and exchange what is needed," Tian Mingyuan said solemnly.

Seeing the Temple of Light reacting so appropriately and still expressing kindness when facing the ruin's temptation, Link couldn't help liking them a little more in his heart. "I will visit once I am free."

Saying so, Link looked at Ou Chen and said, "Also, Ou Chen can stay and enter the ruin with me."

It wasn't only the Temple of Light's people who were stunned after hearing these words, but He Lunhai and the others as well. How could this god of killing be so generous? He's actually willing to share the ruin with the Temple of Light!

All the prisoners couldn't help but cast envious glances at Ou Chen and the others!

Looking at them, then looking at their own allies... He Lunhai and the others were full of envy, jealousy, and hatred. It was as if they had eaten several lemons in one go. They felt sour...

"This... isn't appropriate, right?" Ou Chen's mouth smiled until it reached behind his ears, but he still pretended to be reserved.

"Forget it then." Link was too lazy to bother about him.

"Don't! Brother Link, my respect for you is unending like a surging river! How can you go back on your words..." Ou Chen quickly changed his face.

Wu Hao and Tian Mingyuan were full of delight and kept thanking Link. This wasn't a small kindness nor a small gift!

Link smiled. He naturally had his considerations for pulling Ou Chen alone.

Firstly, it was because there were still unknown risks in the ruin, and Ou Chen was Stage Five combat power after all.

Secondly, taking this opportunity to win over the Temple of Light was also a good choice.

As he thought about this, Link didn't drag on and instantly walked toward the ancient stone tablet...

Chapter 190: Embers of Civilization, Reboot!

Link proudly stood in front of the ancient-feeling stone tablet. His back was tall and straight like a long spear pointed directly at the sky, appearing as if he wanted to fight against heaven and earth!

Momentarily, Wu Hao, Tian Mingyuan, and the others were all filled with respect for Link. They could feel this young man's unspeakable aura.

Ou Chen put away the smile on his face and silently followed Xue Linglong, Luo Xingyao, Zhao Yongkang, and Luo Haoyue, standing behind Link.

The God Devourer Ant temporarily stayed behind as a guard. After all, there were still many prisoners here.

Just now, Zhao Yongkang had contacted Unfallen City through the communication device, so Yang Xuerou would soon send people over to receive these prisoners and deal with the remaining matters.

As long as Link needed them, he could directly summon his summoned creatures—such as God Devourer Ant and Star Moon—to his side at any time, even if they weren't in one place.

Link took out a key that exuded a strange aura from his backpack. It was the [Key of Relic].

As soon as the key appeared, it seemed to be drawn by some inexplicable force and flew toward the dent on the stone tablet by itself.

The runes on the stone tablet lit up one after another at this moment, and streams of radiant light floated out from it, looking very extraordinary!

Rumble!

A roar that sounded like spring thunder blasted in everyone's ears!

The [Key of Relic] filled the dent on the stone tablet perfectly, and a bright beam of light suddenly soared into the sky like a pillar that connected heaven and earth!

The dense flowing clouds in the sky were directly pierced and scattered by this winding beam of light!

The sun instantly dimmed as if a big hand was covering the sky at this moment!

Then, the energies drifting in the air turned into a variety of lights and started converging here like a school of fish. The wind was surging, and the world seemed to change color as well!

A mysterious aura spilled out from the huge beam of light as if it had come from ancient times, crossing over the long river of time—majestic and vast!

This phenomenon had a very wide range of influence and attracted the attention of countless people!

In the wilderness, a team of [Doomsday Online] players—who had just finished fighting with the Undead monsters—looked up at the sky full of shock, not even bothering to pick up the loot on the ground!

In the surrounding human home cities, countless people stopped their activities and looked toward the sky.

Some people were puzzled, some were surprised, and some muttered, "What's happening? Is it a new space crack?"

In Unfallen City.

Yang Xuerou, Qiao Ruowei, and the others stood on the city wall. They looked toward the Forest of Darkness, staring at the huge beam of light.

"It should be that the ruin is being opened. It's uncertain when the City Master will come back. We must prepare for battle," Yang Xuerou said suddenly.

Qiao Ruowei nodded, coldness flashing in her beautiful eyes. The phenomenon is so extraordinary; it's likely that many people have noticed it. Next, it is likely that many people will have designs on the ruin and Unfallen City, which had obtained it.

Bright Sun City, inside a tall, towering building.

Ou Mingcheng—the Temple of Light's Lord—stood in front of the French windows with his hands behind his back, staring at the beam of light and phenomenon in the distance. "Is the ruin opened? It actually caused such a phenomenon. I wonder if Ou Chen has entered the ruin..."

An Elder behind Ou Mingcheng smiled and said, "Even though the Holy Son loves to play around, he's still capable when handling matters. I think he will definitely gain something this time."

In an Undead army town, the Undead creatures and monsters also noticed the phenomenon. They stopped their activities and cast their gazes in the direction of the Forest of Darkness.

After the siege war ended, some of the space cracks were closed. However, most of the space cracks were integrated and solidified by the powerhouses in the Undead army, becoming channels for the Undead army to enter this world.

Countless Undead creatures descended from their original world to Blue Star through the space cracks, becoming a steady source of troops for the Undead army.

Gu Ao was an abyssal existence that entered Blue Star through this channel. He had reached Stage Six and was one of the most outstanding among the younger generation of his race.

He was staring at the beam of light at this moment. His eyes faintly turned red as if he was excited, and a dense bloody aura continued to radiate from him. "Haha, is there a ruin that has been opened? The human being that the ancestor talked about should be in that direction! I hope that that human won't let me down..."

Forest of Darkness.

The ancient stone tablet marking the ruin had disappeared, replaced by a huge portal made of light.

The inside of the portal was completely dark, and the streams of energy twisted like a vortex. Nobody knew where it led to.

The Epochal Ruins should exist in a certain subspace, and this should be the entrance. Link's mind turned as he considered this, and without hesitation, he stepped straight into the ruin.

With curiosity and anxiety, Xue Linglong and the others all stepped forward and followed Link into the ruin.

When Ou Chen—who was last—entered as well, the huge light portal suddenly collapsed.

Space was like a water surface with ripples at its starting point. It eventually became completely calm as if everything that happened before was just an illusion.

Wu Hao, Tian Mingyuan, and the other Temple of Light people were stunned by this strange scene, and they were speechless for a long time.

These methods were far beyond their abilities, and they didn't know how such a powerful civilization had been destroyed, leaving only the remains.

"Please return safely," Tian Mingyuan said silently.

After a brief sense of dizziness, Link violently opened his eyes.

What appeared in his eyes was a bizarre scene.

Strangely shaped buildings stood there; some of the buildings were even floating in the air as the brilliance of magic bloomed from them.

In the sky, numerous aircraft with strong magical auras whizzed past.

Is this the interior of the Epochal Ruins? A magic-inclined civilization? Link said silently in his heart.

Suddenly, his eyes changed. When he checked himself just now, Link noticed that his extraordinary power had disappeared!

Even the items in his personal backpack couldn't be summoned out; even the clothes on his body turned into a gray robe.

Link frowned slightly.

And right at this moment, a sweet soft voice suddenly sounded in his heart. "Link, what's wrong? Are you feeling any discomfort in your body?"

This voice didn't belong to any language Link knew, but he could clearly understand what it meant.

Accompanied by the sound of words, a white and tender palm waved in front of Link.

Link didn't hesitate. He turned around, quickly stretched out his palm, strangled that person's throat, and pressed her to the ground.

This set of movements flowed smoothly like it was just as natural as breathing.

The few people beside Link were all dumbfounded at this moment as well! They obviously didn't expect Link to make such a move so decisively!

The one restrained by Link was a sweet-looking girl. Her face was full of surprise at this time, and her fair face was even blushing a little.

A woman? Link's eyes looked slightly taken aback. However, he didn't let go. Woman or not, it didn't affect the speed of his sword.

In a strange environment where there were unknown dangers, Link always liked to be in control first.

"Were you the one talking to me just now?" Link asked. Then, he suddenly realized that his words had become an unknown language too.

Chapter 191: Dreams! Gods!

A hint of worry flashed through the eyes of the young girl who had her throat choked by Link. "Ling, do you not remember me anymore? I'm Aisha."

A voice that was clean and melodious like trickling stream water sounded at the bottom of Link's heart once again. It seemed as though it directly communicated with him through the soul.

The two youths beside him finally recovered from their shock, and their rather anxious voices sounded.

"Ling, what are you doing?! Have you been influenced by that group of evil beings?"

"Let go of Aisha! Have you gone mad too?"

Amid the voices, the two young males, or rather youths, came forward, wanting to rescue Aisha from Link's hands.

But experienced as Link was, he naturally wouldn't let them succeed easily.

The hand that was strangling Aisha tightened a little again. Link icily glanced at those two youths and said in a low voice, "Don't move; you know the consequences!"

Those two people were worried that Aisha would meet with a mishap, and their bodies instantly froze in place.

Meanwhile, Link seized the opportunity to size up these few people.

Their appearances didn't differ too much from that of humans; only their skin color was lighter, and their ears were also a little sharp. They resembled the legendary elves, and they all seemed to be quite good-looking.

Is this the race of this civilization? Moreover, their way of communication seems to act on the soul directly. Everyone in this race has a certain kind of psychological connection? Also, where are Xue Linglong, Ou Chen, and the rest?

Link was in thought when Aisha's voice sounded once more. "Ling, don't be nervous. We can understand your pain. The passing of your family cannot be changed. Let your emotions settle; everything will get better."

Mm? What did that mean?

Pain and the evil beings that the two sharp-eared youths from earlier spoke of. This clan has enemies and is currently suffering through a certain calamity... Just as Link was pondering, a large amount of information suddenly exploded in his mind.

It was as if a large hand was prodding Link's brain, almost twisting his brain into a lump of paste!

Link frowned as a pronounced sense of pain and dizziness came hitting. What appeared in his mind were memories, a section of memories that seemed to belong to 'him.'

It seemed like a dust-sealed case was being opened; he remembered everything—everything was clear now.

He was called Ling. He lived with his family in a city near the Holy City—Atlan—and they originally had a peaceful and happy life. But not long ago, disaster suddenly arrived without warning. Even the clan's sages and high priests didn't expect it.

The disaster was a group of evil beings who came through the gaps of space. They destroyed cities and forts; countless people died, and fresh blood dyed the grounds and oceans.

His family members all perished as a result. The evil beings seemed to be inexhaustible; they even emitted terrifying pollution.

People who were polluted would be aberrated and become a member of the evil beings.

Their people fought courageously, but it was still difficult to reverse the tide.

Seven great sages in the clan died successively, leaving only three who guarded the survivors as they retreated to the Holy City, Atlan, which was built on the ocean.

This was their ancestral land and also their last hope.

The sages and high priests wanted to summon the gods of their faith. Perhaps only the gods would be able to end this catastrophe...

As each memory came forth, the world before Link's eyes quickly turned dark as if he had fallen into a deep, bottomless sea.

Before Link completely lost consciousness, he could only vaguely sense Aisha's calls.

When Link opened his eyes once again, he was already inside a building.

Decorations with colors of white and blue criss-crossed, and the walls of a certain alloy material gave one a feeling of freshness and spaciousness.

"You're awake?" A hint of surprise flashed across the small face of Aisha, who sat by the bedside. She had clearly been the one taking care of Link earlier. "You scared all of us previously. Fortunately, it's not a big problem. The priests said that you've just experienced mental shock; you weren't polluted by the evil beings."

"Is that so? I feel like I have lost something very important." Link frowned lightly, stretching out a hand to hold his forehead. His head still felt slightly swollen.

He vaguely remembered that he seemed to be the owner of a city and that he had a group of companions... But this memory was extremely misty and blurry like a dream. Was it a dream? I shouldn't have those experiences.

"Don't worry. Even if this world is being destroyed, I will always be with you." Aisha suddenly grabbed Link's palm, her clear eyes full of determination.

Sensing the warmth from Aisha's palm, Link nodded and stopped thinking. "Thank you, Aisha. You are a good person."

The two people were silent for a moment until Aisha's face was stained with crimson. She let go of Link's palm and turned around with slight embarrassment. "Ling, you're probably hungry. I'll go get you some food."

Link shook his head. "I'm not. How long was I out? How's the situation now?"

Aisha paused in her steps, and a sad voice sounded in Link's heart.

"You were in a coma for a day; the situation has been worsening constantly. Another sage died. Now, there is only the great sage and Lanzhi Sage left in the Holy City."

Link struggled to get up and wanted to get out of the bed. "I got it; I want to go to the frontline and protect the Holy City as well."

Aisha shook her head. "Currently, the Holy City's line of defense is still considered stable. Those evil beings haven't launched an attack for now. Right now, there is another matter that is even more important. The great sage and high priest have gathered all surviving clansmen to go pray before the Enlightenment Temple tomorrow. They hope to gather everyone's strength of faith to contact the gods and have them help us end this fearsome calamity."

Link nodded. "The gods will appear, right?"

"They definitely will. The sea gods have been protecting us all this time. Besides, this is Atlan. He will definitely save us." Aisha's tone was steadfast.

The next day, at the huge square in front of the Enlightenment Temple.

The survivors prayed toward a perfectly pure, purple-colored crystal before the temple, their countenances extremely sincere.

Such crystals carried immense strength; the entire race's neural network was built depending on large amounts of crystals. It allowed their communication and transmission of information to be extremely quick. Civilization was also able to develop at a high rate.

Link and Aisha were also among the crowd. When connected to the entire race's psychological network, one would be able to hear all the prayers that came from the heart.

In front of the temple, the great sage, Lanzhi Sage, and the high priest also silently carried out ritual procedures, hoping to be able to contact their gods.

With the crowd's sincere prayers, streaks of invisible strength of faith gathered and blended. The purple crystal indistinctly released starlight.

The high priest chanted ancient incantations. The starlight on the purple crystal swiftly condensed and finally turned into a massive pillar of light, connecting the ground, the deep sea, and the sky.

At this moment, all the survivors lifted their heads to look up at this huge pillar of light. Hope was all over their faces.

The high priest sat down before the pillar of light and began meditating to communicate with the gods.

The great sage's dignified voice also sounded in the psychological network. "Don't worry, everyone. The gods can hear all of our sincere prayers; He will definitely save us!"

Chapter 192: Abandoned Believers of the God! Breached City!

Link stood in the crowd, listening to the prayers that sounded in the psychological network. He indistinctly sensed a strange feeling.

It seemed like he didn't belong here; he was out of harmony with everything around him.

Was it an illusion?

All of a sudden, Link felt the watching of a gaze. He turned his head slightly and met a pair of deep eyes.

The look emitted from that pair of eyes was as commanding as the vast skies, yet they also carried a deep ocean-like profoundness.

Link's countenance froze slightly—that was the great sage's gaze.

On the tall platform in front of the Enlightenment Temple, the great sage and Link's gazes met.

For a moment, it was as if the surrounding clansmen had turned into a gray background.

The great sage's eyes seemed to carry inexplicable contemplation, but it was fleeting, and he quickly looked away.

The strange feeling in Link's heart grew stronger. Right now, he was even more certain that he must've lost something.

Suddenly, a jarring alarm sounded—it was the golden bell hanging in the center of the Holy City.

In usual times, it would swing by itself, issuing moving notes. This allowed the entire city to be immersed in gentle music. However, the present ringing was hurried and sharp; it made everyone's heartstrings tense instantly!

A piece of appalling bad news swiftly spread through the psychological network!

"Alert! Whole city alert! Evil beings! The evil beings have attacked the city! The outer defense line has been breached—the outer city has fallen!"

The tens of thousands of people in the square instantly turned restless!

"How could this be? Wasn't it previously said that the evil beings had eased their offense?"

"This is the Holy City, Atlan—the land protected by the god, the god's palace. It is extremely sturdy; how could the outer city be breached so quickly?"

"Evil beings! My parents and younger brother all died in their hands..."

"Where is our god? Has the high priest not managed to contact Him? Why is He still not showing up to save His children?"

Some people shouted in surprise.

Some people shuddered in fear.

Others were reminded of the painful memories that were mixed with blood and tears and were crying out loud.

The psychological network was filled with all sorts of noisy sounds and became extremely chaotic.

Link furrowed his brows; he almost wanted to cut off his connection to the public psychological network.

Aisha—who was at the side—was deathly pale. Fear and resentment had risen in her eyes, and her small hand was gripping the corner of his clothes tightly.

The majority of the people directed their gazes toward the high priest, who was seated and meditating before the pillar of light.

The periphery of the Holy City was already breached. In the arduous battle that lasted multiple months, the majority of the high-level Mages and Warriors had been worn away.

Everybody in the square was people with insignificant capabilities; they could only place their hopes on the sea god's remedy.

Tens of thousands of gazes gathered on the high priest like spotlights.

The high priest—who was meditating—seemed to be able to sense the situation of the outside world. Beads of sweat covered his aged forehead; He had clearly already done all in his power.

All of a sudden, the high priest's countenance turned pale at once. His body started shaking, and fresh blood even flowed from his ears and nose.

This was an expression of drained mental strength and vitality!

Hints of deep worry that couldn't be dissolved had emerged on the faces of the great sage and Lanzhi Sage at the side.

A few breaths later, the high priest opened his eyes, but he didn't say anything. Facing the gazes of countless people, he only lowered his head dejectedly.

But the people had already caught sight of his face that had instantly aged and the deep exhaustion and despair in his eyes.

He has failed...

The god didn't respond; He has abandoned His children!

We've become the god's abandoned children!

Boom!

As if they were struck by lightning, everyone's minds instantly went black. Only buzzing ceaselessly sounded by their ears.

The race's public psychological network suddenly became quiet.

The drop of a needle could be heard; it was a deathly stillness.

Despair and fear blew across everyone's hearts like the wind and grew madly in there.

Countenances of countless people became ashen. Death-like despair spread in their eyes and almost flowed out of their sockets.

Their hope was as great as the disappointment. Their hopes in their god had ultimately led to despair!

Someone howled like he had gone mad. "We no longer have any hope. The Holy City will be annihilated; we're all going to die!"

"The entire race will be destroyed. We have been abandoned by the sea god! Why? We were so pious!" Someone complained about the god's unjustness.

Tears silently slid down faces as sobs, cries, and shouts resounded without a break like the tempestuous tides.

The great sage—who was always dignified and wise—had his brows tightly knitted, completely helpless. He knew that it was useless to say anything right now.

They were already a group of people without any hope.

Link looked at the chaotic square and the despairing crowd. There seemed to be an indistinct stir in his heart as a strong stinging sensation suddenly rose in his mind!

Link reached out to hold his head, his face pale.

The wind that came blowing already carried the strong scent of fresh blood. Yells and footsteps sounded, coming closer and closer.

The inner city's defense line was hanging by a thread; the Holy City was on the brink of falling.

A large number of people—who had broken down in the square—burst out crying and fell to the ground.

The great sage and Lanzhi Sage charged into the sky, and a vast aura spread from them.

They could no longer care to console the crowd's emotions. They rushed to the defense line with a few Mages.

Link squeezed out of the chaotic crowd with Aisha in tow, wanting to head to the defense line as well. However, the evil beings' speed of attack had far exceeded everyone's imagination.

Buildings abruptly collapsed; the evil beings had already torn past the defense lines and surged into the Holy City.

Fighters and Mages were forced to fall back and retreat in defeat continuously. Fresh blood spread on the streets endlessly.

Link had just walked out of the square when he had smelled the strong metallic and fishy scent.

The evil beings' army was at the end of the road' there were up to 100 of them.

These evil beings that brought calamity all looked extremely strange and wicked.

Flat heads, muddy and convex frog eyes, grayish-green skin—they were like frogmen. There were even fine fish scales on some of their bodies...

In front of this team, there were still a few defeated troops. They were entirely covered in blood; their clothes were tattered, looking extremely miserable.

"Run quickly!" Snarls sounded in the bottom of Link's heart, putting him in a trance.

Run?

Where else can we run to?

This was already inside the city; behind him was the Enlightenment Temple and large numbers of people. They had long had no escape.

Shoo shoo!

The sound of wind being pierced sounded!

Harpoons with seaweed were thrown out. The foul wind came in waves and penetrated those few defeated troops that were fleeing!

The evil beings came running excitedly and tore into the delicacies before them with strange laughter.

Flesh was torn, and blood splattered.

The evil beings were like wild beasts pouncing on their prey. Attracted by the bodies, they surrounded them in layers.

And the remaining evil beings had their eyes on Link and Aisha, who were in the distance.

Roars exploded by their ears—the great sage and Lanzhi Sage were already fighting the powerhouses among the evil beings.

People who could be addressed as sages were powerful existences who had reached the Sage-stage. Hence, the commotion of the battle was huge.

Beside him, Aisha's body was stiff. Her face was ghastly pale, clearly terrified by the bloody scene before her eyes.

The evil beings pounced over with screams; this was a hopeless situation...
