Chapter 97: Gaining the Trust of the Gnomes
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The shafts were interconnected and there were crushed rocks everywhere. There were also signs of this place being freshly mined. His guess was that the mine had just been opened recently.
He followed the passage and crawled into it.
It wasn't long before he could hear a conversation from inside.
"Robert, I say, we have so much ore at home. Why do they still want us to mine?"
"I heard from one of our clan members from the council that they are building a statue for our dead king, to obtain his inheritance!"
"I see, I wonder who can get the inheritance?!"
"Continue mining. I heard that the Elder will take the dragon's corpse out and cook it. If we return earlier we might get a few bites of dragon meat. I heard that the dragon meat could make us into even powerful beings. I'm drooling by just thinking about it."
Jiang Feng was shocked when he heard the conversation from the two gnomes while he was hiding at the corner of the shaft, and thought to himself, "Cook the dragon's corpse? It will be evening soon. I have to get to the gnomes as soon as possible then. Once the dragon's corpse has been cooked, things are going to get ugly."
He ignored the two gnomes from the mines and quickly headed towards the gnomes' homes.
Once a Divine Beast was dead, its corpse would remain, but many would try to grab a piece of it with much zeal. That was because the Divine Beast's flesh and blood were all treasures.
Just when he crawled to the exit of the mine, he stopped suddenly.
'That's right, just now they said that they were forging a statue for the king to receive the king's inheritance? That must be for the king of gnomes,' Jiang Feng kept on thinking to himself. 'If I could obtain a gnome underling and have him receive the king's inheritance, wouldn't that mean I have a gnome with the king's inheritance as my follower?'
The smithing skill of a gnome that had gained the gnome king's inheritance would be supreme. If he were to rebuild the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor, he would definitely need someone to carry it economically. An inheritor of the gnome king would be a good candidate.
When he thought of that, he began to think of a way to recruit the two gnomes within the cave.
Gnomes: Gnomes are expert smiths and have business relationships with other races, and thus know the languages of other races as well. They are considered to be neutral. Why they are not adept in combat, they are very united. All those that are friendly to them will be treated as such.
"That meant that as long as I have saved them, I can gain their trust. If that's the case, not only can I approach the gnomes, perhaps I can even recruit a few gnomes!" After reading about the Gnomes from the official website outside of the cave, Jiang Feng thought of a way really quickly and took out the Qiankun Gourd and released Yanhu.
"Boss, you need me?" Yanhu asked after he came out and scanned his surroundings. There were no monsters to fight, so he asked him curiously.
"There's something I need you to do. If you do it well, I'll reward you." Jiang Feng said to Yanhu.
"What kind of reward?" Yanhu's eyes brimmed with excitement as he asked.
Jian Feng then said, "Evolution Pill!"
"Haha!" Yanhu excitedly swayed his tail and said, "Alright boss. Whatever it is, as long as you're not asking me to commit suicide, I'll guarantee that I'll accomplish it."
Jiang Feng then whispered next to Yanhu, and told him of his plan to receive the trusts of the gnomes.
"Isn't this just acting? Easy! I used my acting skill when I was convincing the Bluecloud Panther to kill his own master. This time, it's just to intimidate two cowards. I'll guarantee the mission's completion." Yanhu replied confidently.
"As long as you're confident. But if you fail, then you will get your Evolution Pill last from now on!" Jiang Feng said as he looked at the confident Yanhu.
"Alright, but you have to practice with me first!" Yanhu nodded with a grin.
Next, Jiang Feng practiced with Yanhu.
His idea was very simple and stereotypical. He would have Yanhu go kill the two gnomes, then he would fly over them and save them.
To him, the gnomes were just NPCs. Not to mention that these two were only miners. While they're humanoids, their intelligence wouldn't be that high. As long as Yanhu didn't ruin this, then this old scheme would be more than enough to handle the two.
Once the practice had finished, Jiang Feng then found somewhere hidden to hide. Yanhu had also hidden in a nearby bush next to the mines.
About twenty minutes, the two gnomes finally exited.
The gnome called Rocket smacked at a rough hide bag in his pocket and said, "Our harvest today isn't that bad, to think that we're able to mine an Epoch Gold Ore. When we return, we would definitely be rewarded. Perhaps they would even give us some dragon meat."
The other gnome called Robert nodded with a smile and said, "I'm fine even if they don't give me any dragon meat. All I want is for them to give me another job. I'm so bored with the mining that I have to do every day. If I can receive the king's inheritance, then my smithing skills would definitely reach Spiritual-Level, and I don't need to mine ores anymore."
"Me too..."
Roar!
Before Rocket could finish his sentence, a tiger roar cut him off mid-sentence. Then, Yanhu's giant figure appeared before the two gnomes.
Yanhu had already reached Rank 5, and his stats had increased somewhat. His size had also increased a lot, about one size larger than normal Flaming Tiger Kings. In front of the gnomes who didn't even reach one meter in height, he was a giant.
"Roar! I haven't eaten for so long, I can finally have a good meal today!" Yanhu roared at the two gnomes again.
When a tiger surrounded by burning flames appeared in front of them, Robert and Rocket had already been shocked and shaken. They could only watch him in shock.
Only when Yanhu was approaching them did they regain their senses.
Robert was slightly braver than Rocket and took out his pickaxe, and said while quivering in his boots, "We're Gnomes, you can't kill us! Not to mention our meat isn't tasty, as long as you let us go, I'll bring you meat, alright?"
"Hmph, you sly gnomes. My elder brother was killed by the gnomes. This time, I will avenge my brother!" Yanhu roared at Robert malevolently.
"Who's your brother? I didn't kill your brother!" Robert said.
"Have you forgotten the White Tiger that appeared on the day that you had slain the dragon? That was my brother!"
When he heard Yanhu's words, Robert and Rocket's hearts both skipped a beat. The day they were slaying a dragon, a White Tiger did appear to snatch the Xuanyuan Sword's fragment and was killed.
To them, it was clear that Yanhu was here to avenge that white tiger.
When that thought crossed their mind, the two gnomes were filled with despair.
"Roar! There are no more words from you? Now show me your buttocks!" Yanhu roared violently.
'Show me your buttocks? Damn you Yanhu, changing my script to something so dirty!' Jiang Feng, who was hiding on the side almost fainted on the ground when he heard what Yanhu had said.
"Show my buttocks and do... do what?" Robert's face became pale and he began to take steps back.
"Because I love to eat humans' buttocks!" Yanhu said and jumped, opening his bloody jaw and attempted to bite into Robert!
Seeing that the time was right, Jiang Feng then used his Float skill and flew into the air.
He looked at where Yanhu was at, only to see that Yanhu had pounced both gnomes onto the ground and began to bite at them.
Gnomes have high hit points and defense, so he wasn't worried that he would accidentally kill the two gnomes. The most that he'll do was to cause them some wounds and PTSD.
Roar!
When the two gnomes had wounds all over their body, Jiang Feng let out a Dragon Howl and caused both Yanhu and the gnomes to enter into a daze.
Next, he attacked Yanhu a few times causing him to get bloodied.
When both the gnomes entered the Daze state, they saw a dragon was being stepped on by a dragon, and they were overjoyed.
"Roar! Seeing that we're both Shifters, I will let you live. But if I see you harm the gnomes again, I will take your life! Now, leave!"
Seeing that the two gnomes had awakened from the Daze, he quickly yelled at Yanhu coldly. Then, he caught Yanhu's tail using his claw and threw Yanhu into the nearby bushes.
"Roar, are you two alright?" After throwing Yanhu away, Jiang Feng walked to the side of the two gnomes and asked them about their condition.
"We... we're fine. Thank you, Lord Dragon!" Robert answered Jiang Feng cowardly.
"Just call me Brother Feng. The Dragon and Gnomes have always maintained a good relationship. It is natural for me to save you," Jiang Feng said. "I see that both of you are heavily wounded, allow me to send you back home."
"No, no. We can return ourselves," Robert waved his hand.
"I must, I must. You know how we dragons are like. Now that both of you are so severely injured, if anything were to happen to you on the way back, I would be filled with remorse," Jiang Feng said.
"Alright!"
Seeing that Jiang Feng wanted to send them back, they nodded in agreement, but worry filled their eyes.
Jiang Feng had naturally seen through their worries.
The Gnomes were going to cook a dragon's corpse. If he were to find out about it, he would be furious.
In order to dispel their worries and get their trust, Jiang Feng then followed behind them and said with a sigh, "I heard that my ancestor had died in the gnome's homeland. You gnomes have done a good job. My ancestor had become a demon. According to his personality, he would rather die than to cause chaos in this land. We dragons do have to thank you for that!"
In the beginning, when they heard Jiang Feng's words, the two gnomes paled and began to shake. But once they heard the second half of his speech, they heaved a heavy sigh. Robert could only sigh and said, "I didn't expect that Brother Feng would be from the Earthcover Dragon race. Unfortunately, our elders have done all they know to remove the demonic aura from the Earthcover Dragon but still failed. This was the only way left."
"Yes. The reason that I wanted to send you back is to first guarantee your safety. Secondly, it is to thank you gnomes," Jiang Feng continued to make things up.
As they discussed on their way back, he eventually obtained the trust of the two gnomes. They even gave him the gnome's map.
When they finally reached the cliff, the two gnomes took out their pickaxes and climbed their way down. Jiang Feng used this chance to take Yanhu back into the Qiankun Gourd, and only then followed the two gnomes down.

Chapter 98: Transmute the Earthcover Dragon
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The gnomes were still the same. They looked like they were at peace.
The old, the weak and the women were roasting meat on the fire while the children played beside them.
When Jiang Feng approached, he realized that the meat they were roasting was not dragon meat. That meant that the Earthcover Dragon's body still had been moved out. He heaved a sigh of relief.
"A dragon!"
When he came, he attracted the sight of all the gnomes. Some of the gnomes were even shocked, worries filled their eyes.
"Robert, why did you bring a dragon here? Didn't you know..." An old gnome came over and pulled him aside, berating him.
Robert smiled and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Kai. He's not here to condemn us, but was here to thank us."
When Jiang Feng heard Robert and that old gnome's exchange, he opened his dragon's mouth and said in a very kind and gentle tone, "Robert is right. I am not here to condemn you but wanted to thank you. Can I meet the elder?"
"Alright," The old gnome nodded and said to Robert, "Robert, bring the Lord Dragon to the guest room to rest."
"Yes!"
Next, Jiang Feng followed Robert and came to a cave that was on a cliff face deep within the valley.
The cave was very big, and the facilities were just as big and all forged in iron. It could easily fit a dozen Barbaric Giants in there.
It seemed that this was where the gnomes would house their guests.
He quickly scanned at the cave, found a chair covered with beast fur, and coiled in it.
Very quickly, he saw the white-haired gnomish priest that he saw on the altar last time.
The gnome's priest was called Cameron. He held a Dragon Headed Staff and several gnomish elders followed after him.
"Greetings, priests and elders!" Robert respectfully bowed.
Cameron nodded and looked at Jiang Feng, then took a seat on the main seat.
"You are from the Earthcover Dragon Tribe?" Cameron looked at Jiang Feng and asked.
"That is correct," Jiang Feng nodded his draconic head at Cameron.
Cameron said, "I can see that you are still a wyrmling. May I know who your father is?"
Jiang Feng smiled and replied, "My father is Jiang Zhengde!"
Jiang Zhengde was indeed his father, but his father wasn't an Earthcover Dragon. Since there were so many dragons, Cameron couldn't possibly know every single one of them. So he started to make things up.
Cameron said curiously, "Jiang Zhengde? I do not recognize that surname amongst the Earthcover Dragons."
Jiang Feng then said, "After that war ten thousand years ago, our tribe had suffered heavy losses. In order to have our bloodline continued, those remaining had all changed our names as we settled down."
Cameron said in realization, "I see. Then why have you come to us gnomes, wyrmling?"
At this time, Robert chipped in and said, "Allow me to speak. When my brother, Rocket, and I were coming back after our mining, we were attacked by a tiger. Brother Feng was the one that saved us and sent us back. He had heard that the ancestor of his had passed, so he came to thank us and also to come to see the body of his ancestor."
Jiang Feng agreed and said, "That is correct. My father had told me that we must bring home our ancestor's body. Of course, in order to thank you and to apologize for all the things our ancestors did, my father had asked me to give an Evolution Pill granted to us by the Lord God to you!" And with that, he took out an Evolution Pill and handed it to Cameron despite the pain in his heart.
But to think that if he could take the entire body, he was willing to give him all five Evolution Pills if it came to that.
To the Shifters, the Evolution Pills were extremely valuable. It was extremely difficult to gain one Evolution Pill. When Cameron saw that Jiang Feng had taken out an Evolution Pill and how reluctant he was, his image of Jiang Feng had improved.
While the Evolution Pill was not that useful to the gnomes, he could save it for trading with the Shifters. He gave it a thought and decided to take the Evolution Pill, and give the Earthcover Dragon's corpse back to Jiang Feng.
"You can take the Earthcover Dragon's body home. However, I would ask that you give us his Dragon Horns, Dragon Claws, and Dragon Tendon. He did cause immense damage to us gnomes, an Evolution Pill could not cover our losses!" Cameron put away the Evolution Pill and said to Jiang Feng.
'Damn it! I never thought that he would be so greedy. Dragon Horns, Dragon Claws and Dragon Tendons are the most valuable parts of a dragon, and he wants to take them all!'
Jiang Feng was quite unhappy, but he thought to himself, 'Just you wait. You take the Dragon Horns, Dragon Claws and Dragon Tendon, I'll take your Inheritor!"
While he could no longer have the Dragon Horns, Dragon Claws, and Dragon Tendon, he still nodded and agreed to Cameron's condition since the Dragon Blood was still within its body. He said, "It is only natural to recompense you. All I need is to bring the body home, you can do what you need to!"
"Alright, then please wait here. I shall have my people to bring the Earthcover Dragon out!"
It could be said that Cameron had profited a lot by using a bunch of dragon meat to exchange for an Evolution Pill. Dragon Meat could improve someone's stats, but it was only useful for the first time. When he was taking the Dragon Horns, Dragon Claws, and Dragon Tendon, he could take some meat along with them and it would be enough for them here. Cameron's eyes narrowed as he was joyful in his heart.
Cameron then brought the elders and left with a smile, leaving behind Robert to serve Jiang Feng.
After about half an hour, someone came over to let Jiang Feng know that the Earthcover Dragon body had already been carried into the valley.
Jiang Feng and Robert quickly moved out of the cave.
Once they came out, they saw a gigantic corpse.
The Earthcover Dragon's corpse was gigantic, almost the size of a small hill. It was around 50 meters tall, and 100 meters in length. Several thousand gnomes were removing the chains from the Earthdragon's corpse.
"They really took everything!" When he went over to look at the Earthcover Dragon's corpse, he noticed that the Dragon Horns, Dragon Claws, and Dragon Tendon were all removed. Especially the claw, they took an entire leg off. This made him angry and speechless at the same time.
Cameron then walked over and said to Jiang Feng with a smile. "Wyrmling, the body is yours. It's up to you if you can take it away."
"Don't worry, I brought a treasure from the Dragon. I can definitely bring it home," Jiang Feng smiled at Cameron. He then jumped and landed on the Earthcover Dragon's body. In order to stop the Qiankun Gourd from being recognized, he blocked it from everyone's sight when he took it out.
"Collect!"
While the Earthcover Dragon was originally owned by the gnomes, now that the gnomes had given it to him, it was naturally his. In the blink of an eye, the gigantic corpse disappeared, being kept within the Qiankun Gourd.
After he took in the Earthcover Dragon's corpse, he quickly put away the Qiankun Gourd.
When Cameron saw Jiang Feng collected the Earthcover Dragon's corpse, he was stunned. Then, his eyes were full of greed. It was obvious that he wanted the treasure that Jiang Feng used to keep away the Earthcover Dragon.
"Thank you, priest. I shall take my leave now. I will come to visit again when I have the time!"
When Jiang Feng saw Cameron's greed through his eyes, he smiled coldly in his heart and used Float to fly into the air.
Once he was on the cliff, he flew towards a place where there was no one.
Very quickly, he landed in a valley. When he peeked and saw no one, he then took out the Earthcover Body and used Transmute Monster on it.
If it wasn't because of Transmute Monster, the Earthcover Dragon's body would be useless. He couldn't harvest anything from it anymore.
"Transmute Monster!"
Next, a blazing inferno appeared and started to envelop and burn the Earthcover Dragon's body.
Ding! System Prompt: Transmute Monster failed!
One minute later, "Transmute Monster!"
Ding! System Prompt: Transmute Monster failed!
One minute later, "Again, Transmute Monster!"
Ding! System Prompt: Transmute Monster failed!
...
"Damn! I could still get something when I failed last time. But I didn't get anything after forty times! Are you kidding me!"
Jiang Feng was getting annoyed thanks to Cameron, and he was getting agitated.
"Transmute Monster! I don't believe that I won't succeed!" Jiang Feng used Transmute Monster despite his blood boiling.
Ding! System Prompt: Transmute Monster Successful. As the Earthcover Dragon's Corpse is imperfect, and its blood evaporated by the lava, you have only received 10 dragon meat, 10 dragon scales, one piece of equipment, 5 drops of Divine Dragon Blood and one Divine Level Experience Pill.
"Damn it, I've spent so long only to get 5 drops of Divine Dragon Blood?!" Jiang Feng started to rage, but he calmed down once he remembered about the other items that had transmuted. "Let's see what level of equipment I got from the transmutation. I hope it's a Divine Artifact."

Chapter 99: Power Greatly Increases
1
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After the Earthcover Dragon's giant body disappeared, a few items appeared from the flames.
While the amount of Divine Dragon Blood he obtained was less than what he had hoped, he looked forward to looking at the equipment that he had transmuted.
The Earthcover Dragon was a Divine Beast after all! Nothing that one would get from a Divine Beast would be normal.
He calmed his nerves and his anticipation. He didn't look at the equipment fist, but put them all into his spatial bracelet and check it from there.
Divine Dragon Meat: Divine Level Cooking Material
Every piece of meat weighed around 50kg. Once cooked can be used to increase stats. Only works one.
Divine Dragon Scales: Divine Level Smithing Material.
Once smithing has reached immortal-level, can use the Divine Dragon Scales to forge equipment.
Divine Level Experience Pill
Once consumed, can be used to increase 5 levels. The higher the consumer's level, the less level that would be increased!
"Hm? I didn't expect that the Experience Pill gained from a Divine Beast would be this powerful. It can boost 5 levels!"
Looking at the Divine Level Experience Pill, he ate it without hesitation.
At his current level, he could boost his levels by 5 levels. Since the effect would weaken if he used it later, he didn't save it.
Ding! System Prompt: Congratulations on reaching Level 35 from Level 30. You have gained 15 free attribute points.
He added all his 15 free attribute points to Luck, and his Luck had already reached 100 points.
Ding! System Prompt: As your Luck has reached the maximum limit, it can no longer be increased!
'Looks like Luck can only reach 100 maximum. I guess I'll add Insight after this during my level ups.' He thought to himself after hearing the system's voice. He then looked at the equipment that he obtained.
The piece of equipment was a quarterstaff. There were two golden rings at each end, and there was a string of letters on the quarterstaff. After reading the string of letters, Jiang Feng felt that he had lost his ability to control his breathing for a moment due to the excitement.
"This staff, can it be...?"
Ruyi Jingu Staff: Yellow-Gold Equipment (Weakened)
Introduction: The Ruyi Jingu Staff was created by Taishang Laojun, and was lent to Yu the Great to treat the flooding and was placed on top of the Eastern Sea's water source. It was also called the Divine Needle that Placates the Seas.
Ten thousand years ago during the Great Divine-Infernal War, in order to open a path for the Shifters as a race, the Shifter Ape Qitian Dasheng Sun Wukong killed several Infernal Kings and Heavenly Kings and was finally injured by the Infernal Archmaster. At this time, he was ambushed by the Buddha who was there at the request of the Divines. With his soul disappeared and his body sealed under the Wuzhi Mountains. The Ruyi Jingu Staff's soul was dispersed, and it became a normal staff.
Strength 500
Attack 2000
Attack Speed 30%
20% chance of Daze
Passive Skill: Block: 20% chances of blocking any attacks.
Active Skill: Ruyi: Can change to any shape at will.
Consume: Can consume any weapons to strengthen the Ruyi Jingu Staff.
Demon-Suppressing Heavenly-Wind Staff: There are a total of 36 moves. Each move increases the attack damage by 20% of base damage. No cooldown. Can be interrupted.
???
Prerequisite: Level 30 Shifter (When equipped by Ape race, all stats increased by 20%)
"Damn it, another damaged Divine Artifact! System, can't you give me something that isn't broken?!"
While it was just as he had expected and that the staff was Qitian Dasheng Sun Wukong's weapon, but what made him speechless was that it was a weakened Divine Artifact.
Luckily, the Ruyi Jingu Staff had a Consume skill, allowing it to consume any equipment to strengthen itself.
That meant that this was a piece of equipment that could level up.
"Ape race increases all stats by 20%, looks like it's only suitable for the ape race to use. Luckily, I can use it too."
Looking at the equipment prerequisite, he originally wanted to give it to the Fire Ape King to equip it, but when he remembered that the weapon could transform into any form, he gave up on that though.
"Change!"
He held the Jingu Staff in his hand. With a thought, the Jingu Staff became a claw that glued itself tightly on his dragon claws.
As he waved, the claw let out sounds of the air being cut, and it was very convenient for him.
Suddenly, he remembered something and took out a White-Silver Dragonball In his hand.
"Consume!"
Next, as he yelled coldly, the claw that the Jingu Staff changed to emitted a golden light and enveloped the Dragonball. Very quickly, the Dragonball became liquid and melded into the Jingu Staff.
Ding! System Prompt: Ruyi Jingu Staff had restored 1 rune. Once it had restored 1,000 runes, it would evolve into a piece of Dark-Gold Equipment.
After the system had finished its announcement, the Jingu Staff that had become a claw reverted into its original form as a staff, and a golden rune had appeared on top of the Jingu Staff.
"One White-Silver equipment could restore 1 rune. That means it still needs 999 runes, or at least 999 White-Silver equipment!" Jiang Feng was surprised, and then became saddened, "Alright, looks like I have to provide to the Jingu Staff then."
After that, he minimized it and learned what Sun Wukong did and put it into his ear.
While he lost 1 Evolution Pill, he earned an upgradeable Divine Artifact, two Divine-Level Materials, and 5 drops of Divine Dragon blood. It could be said that he had earned from the trade.
'Originally, I have one drop of Divine Dragon Blood. Now, I have six drops on me. While it's still not enough to break the curse on Xiao Longnu, it also wasn't enough for her to improve her Bloodline Level and Bloodline purity. I'm currently at Rank 3, and using two drops would allow my Bloodline and Purity to reach 100%. She's at Rank 17, which means that she needs at least twenty plus drops. Fine, I'll use them on myself first then. I still have four Evolution Pills on me, I wonder if the six drops of Dragon Blood would allow me to evolve three times. Let me try!'
After giving it a thought, he finally decided to use it to strengthen himself first. Next, he took out two drops of Divine Dragon Blood and consumed them.
Ding. System Prompt: Congratulations, your Dragon's Bloodline, and Purity has reached 100%.
After his Bloodline and Purity had reached 100%, he then took out another Evolution Pill and consumed it and began to evolve.
He chose to continue evolving his Dragon Bloodline. A blazing fire enveloped him, forming into a fire cocoon.
After the minutes, the fire cocoon burst open.
Ding! System Prompt: Evolution successful!
While evolving into Rank 4 and he was still a wyrmling, but at least his size had increased, reaching ten plus meters becoming even more majestic.
"Continue!"
"After evolving into Rank 4 wyrmling, he looked at the stats that had grown exponentially. He did not stop and consumed another two drops of Divine Dragon Blood. With his Bloodline and Purity reached 100% again, he then took out the second Evolution Pill and continued to evolve.
This time, he had to spend more time evolving and used twenty minutes before his evolution had completed.
Ding! System Prompt: Evolution successful!
"Continue!"
After evolving into a Rank 5 wyrmling, his body size had reached 15 meters long and his stats had also increased. It was as if he was addicted to evolution, and wanted to continue to evolve.
"Hm?"
Just as he consumed the next drop of Divine Dragon Blood and was going to consume the second drop, he stopped as he became annoyed.
That was because he discovered that after consuming the first drop of Divine Dragon blood, he had only increased 30% of Bloodline and Purity.
"Looks like after I have increased to Rank 5, the need for the Divine Dragon Blood had increased."
Helplessly, he put away the last drop of Divine Dragon Blood, not thinking of using it anymore. Since it was pointless even if he sued it. His Bloodline and Purity didn't reach 100%, he couldn't evolve. Even if he forced it he would just simply fail.
While the other bloodlines were full, he wasn't going to evolve into any other type of monster. The main reason was that their maximum was too low, and the stats provided weren't that much anyway.
Let me see how much my stats had grown.
He took out the two drops of Bloodline of other races that he had previously obtained and consumed them. Then, he checked his stats after the two continuous evolutions.

"After evolving twice, my HP had increased by 30,000, Attack by 4,000, Defense by 2000 and I had three new skills from being a Dragon. But my Float skill had disappeared and become the passive skill Fly. Not bad, overall."
Jiang Feng was quite pleased with the results as he looked at the stats. Since according to his current stats, he could pretty much bully the entire player base. Of course, the Inheritors were an exception to this since when he was increasing his powers, so were the other inheritors!
"I wonder how stronger were the other inheritors? At this stage, all I need to do is to just focus on increasing my power!" He murmured to himself and then continued to look at his other skills.
Change: Can manipulate the size of your body, At its smallest, you can become as small as a Rank 1 wyrmling while at its largest, you can become as large as a Rank 5 wyrmling.
Rockfall: Active Skill. Summon rocks to hurl at your enemies, causing 150% of base damage. Cooldown of 10 seconds.
Fly: Passive skill. Can fly in the air continuously. If within aggro radius, you may not fly.
"Rockfall must be a single-targeted skill used by the Earthcover Dragon. Meanwhile, Change and Fly have very high practical use!" Jiang Feng said as he looked at the three skills. He looked at the two lottery chances in the Monster Transmutation System and said, "I evolved twice, so I have two chances at the lottery. But I don't have to time for the lottery, I had better things to do right now."
"Since the priest Cameron had greedily taken a few of my things, it's time to take them back."
Of course, he wasn't really going to go there to take them back, he was there for the gnome king's statue that they were now forging. As long as he had taken the statue, it meant that he would have the king of gnome's inheritance. Of course, only a gnome could receive it, so he would need to persuade a gnome to leave.

Chapter 100: Recruit the Gnomes
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jiang Feng used his change skill and changed his size into that of a Rank 1 dragon which was only about a meter long.
The third time that he came to the gnomes it was the same as the first time, to steal stuff. Of course, he couldn't attract too much attention.
He looked at how he was and nodded pleasingly. He then slowly flew and headed towards where the gnomes were.
...
Gnomes homeland, a dungeon deep within the pit.
Robert and Rocket were imprisoned within, refusing to resign themselves to such a fate.
Rocket said, "Robert, why did the priest lock us up? What did we do wrong?"
Robert said plainly, "The priest said that we shouldn't have brought the dragon here, causing us to lose a dragon's corpse!"
Rocket said angrily, "That dragon's corpse belonged to the dragons! The dragons ought to bring it back! Why did the priest do this?"
"Do you still don't understand? To your priests, what you did had no value at all. You caused them to lose something of value, so of course, he would take it out on you!"
Just as Robert and Rocket were conversing, a light roar came.
"Who is it?"
Robert and Rocket stood up, trying to find the source of the voice.
Only at this time did Jiang Feng appear from the corner and appeared before Robert and Rocket. He said, "It's me, your Brother Feng!"
"Why... why are you here?" Robert asked in surprise as he pointed at Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng also arrived here by accident, to tell the truth.
After he had reached the gnome's settlement, he had used his Hide skill to hide from the gnomes protecting the elevator, and fly directly into the pit.
But the pit was too big, and there were many rooms and mineshafts, so all he could do was to slowly search for where they were forging the gnome king's statue.
But what surprised him was that he did not find where they were forging the gnome king's statue, and instead found Robert and Rocket being imprisoned in a dungeon cell.
Seeing that, he was overjoyed. He never would have thought that Cameron would have locked them up. In that case, he had the confidence to be able to convince them to follow him.
"I'm here for you two," Jiang Feng's body became slightly bigger as he said to Robert and Rocket.
"For us?" Robert asked with doubt as he blinked.
Jiang Feng nodded and said with a sigh, "Before I leave, I knew that the priest wouldn't let you two go. Since it was you two that brought me here and harm caused the gnomes to suffer unnecessary losses. We had also chatted so happy with each other and I have already treated you as my friends. My friends, I cannot bear to see you two suffer, and so I returned to save you."
If Yanhu and Heifeng were here, they would definitely give Jiang Feng a thumbs up. The way he "persuaded" people were much better than theirs.
Jiang Feng stirred one's emotions while Yanhu and Heifeng appealed to one's pride. The saying that went "like master like servants" was pretty accurate.
"Thank you, Brother Feng. No one had treated us as friends, and you were the first one. However, we will not leave with you, as the clan is our home!" Robert said to Jiangfeng gratefully while Rocket had shown some hesitation.
I don't believe that I can't persuade you two NPCs with normal intelligence!
Seeing that Rocket was hesitating, Jiang Feng was secretly overjoyed. He then continued to say, "Home? Hoho, have they ever treated you as part of their household? You two are but tools for the gnomes, a pickaxe. You have high-level smithing skills, why can't you smelt and forge from the ore that you mined yourself? Why must you give them to someone else? Are you really happy that way? Is that what you want, to stay here and mine for the rest of your life? Have you never thought of receiving the gnome king's inheritance and becoming a being higher than other gnomes?"
His words caused both Robert and Rocket to feel nervous.
They would never have thought about such words in their entire lifetime. That was because, in their subconsciousness, they need only to obey. No voice had asked them to question or to resist.
'Why do we have high-ranked smithing skills, but we can only mine for ores?
'Why do we work and mine so hard, only for others to reap most of the benefits while we have the crumbs?
'Why are we locked down here for so long while the others are fine?
'Why...?'
Because of Jiang Feng's voice, questions had begun to rise in their hearts.
Seeing that Robert and Rocket were thinking with their heads lowered, Jiang Feng smiled and continued with the pursuit and said, "I will guarantee to both of you. If both of you follow me, I will make you both a being above many, making many to beg you. I will build a private smithy for you. And you will be served with delicious food every day! Because you two are my brethren and are supposed to be served like kings!"
"Really?!" Robert and Rocket looked at Jiang Feng with light in their eyes. They looked up to Jiang Feng, and asked, "You can build a private smithy for both of us? There's delicious food every day?"
'So, their buttons are smithing and food. If I had known which button to push earlier, I wouldn't have to waste so much effort.'
"Yes, very true!" Jiang Feng gave them a thumbs up and said with conviction.
"Alright, we'll come with you!" Robert and Rocket exchanged a glance and agreed.
"Alright, now close your eyes. I will first send you somewhere, then I will bring you out!"
Robert and Rocket both closed their eyes, as they trusted him very much.
Next, Jiang Feng took out the Qiankun Gourd and absorbed both of them in. But he did not put them and Yanhu together. If he did and they saw Yanhu, they would find out about their deception.
So he put Robert and Rocket on the opposite side of Yanhu. The Qiankun Gourd was huge, so it was not possible for them to find Yanhu.
With that, Jiang Feng managed to recruit two gnomes.
However, the two gnomes never would have imagined that it didn't take them too long to own an entire workshop, not just a smithy.
There would also be a lot of people begging them, but all came to beg them to forge equipment.
They will also have delicious food every day, but all of that was from the money they earned, and it wasn't 0.1% of the money they had earned.
If one day, they had awakened, they would definitely show Jiang Feng their middle fingers and cursed him saying, "To hell with you!"
...
After recruiting the two gnomes, next he would need to find the gnome king's statue.
He wouldn't dare to ask Robert and Rocket about that. While they have both betrayed the gnomes and followed him, that didn't mean that they would betray the gnome king. A king's influence on their servants ran deep.
If they noticed that Jiang Feng was making a move against the gnome king's statue, they would probably betray him.
After he had explored the pit carefully for a very long time, he finally found where they were forging the gnome king's statue at a smithy to the east of the pit, close to a smelting pool.
He saw that mechanized mining carts were continuously throwing various ores into the smelting pool, some of them were even spiritual-level ores. Looking at this, Jiang Feng felt that it was a giant waste. If it wasn't because they couldn't pick them up, he would have collected all of the gnome's ores.
As cards of ores were being thrown into the smelting pool, many gnomes were scattering Molten Iron Powder into the ores. Very quickly, the ores in the smelting pool all turned into liquid metal.
And then, some gnomes would use tools to guide the liquid metal from the smelting pool into a giant pool of water.
The liquid metal hardened as it interacted with water. Then, another group of ores would take that liquid metal out, and strike them. The entire put was filled with the sounds of striking metal.
"It looks like it's still going to take quite some time before it's done. I should log out and have a meal first!"
Seeing that the gnome king's statue would not be completed for quite some time, he looked at the time and realized that it had been about seven or eight hours since his last meal. He then looked for a safe place and logged out of the game.

Chapter 101: The Gnome King's Statue of Inheritance
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After logging out of the game, Jiang Feng sat up from his bed. He looked outside the window and saw the moon. He then massaged his empty stomach and then walked out of his room after wearing a jacket.
When he reached the living room, he saw Su Qing was sitting on the sofa watching the television. The table in front of her was some food that was covered.
"Xiao Qing, have you eaten?" He asked Su Qing when he came next to her.
"Ah..." His presence startled Su Qing and she quickly stood up from the sofa. "I know that you haven't eaten yet, boss. So, I've made something nice. But they're all cold now, so let me reheat them!"
With that, she then took the food from the table and went back to the kitchen.
Jiang Feng shrugged and walked into the washroom to relieve himself and freshen up a bit.
After he had done that, Su Qing had already reheated the meals. He then sat in front of the sofa and used the remote and chose a show called "Analyze the Divine Dominion," and then had his dinner.
"Welcome to this episode of Analyze the Divine Dominion! Today we have invited the leader of the game's first guild, Ms. Canaan! Please welcome her!"
"Hm?"
Looking at the screen, he raised his eyebrow and his sight was focused on the beautiful and graceful Canaan, who was wearing formal wear and had some simple makeup.
There was some difference between this Canaan and the Canaan that was from the game, she wasn't that pretty. That meant that she must have adjusted her looks.
"I just remembered. I was wondering why she looked so familiar. She was the woman that rammed into me about a month ago!"
This was the first time that he looked at Canaan properly, and he realized that Canaan was the woman that had rammed into him one month ago when he was cleaning the streets.
Because of the effects of the Monster Transmutation System, he had recovered from the accident instantly. So Canaan didn't know that she actually did ram into him.
He laughed bitterly and shook his head so that he wouldn't think about those things. If he were to think about it, he would need to thank Canaan. If it wasn't because of her knocking into him, he wouldn't have received the Monster Transmutation System.
"Ms. Canaan, there's one question that I wanted to ask you. At Level 10, the players could spend 10,000 to go towards Silvermoon. However, why were there so little players that went there, and those that went there would return shortly thereafter?" The host asked.
Canaan gave him a gentle smile and replied plainly, "You should know that in all games, there are low-level maps and high-level maps. The location that we are at right now is the low-level map, the monsters' levels range from 0 to 100 and are quite suitable for the current players' development. However, the monsters at Silvermoon range from 100 to 500 and are considered to be a high-level map. At this stage, the players that went over won't be able to expand and develop at all. Actually, this setting that allows players to go over at level 10 for the price of 10,00 was meant for players that wanted to travel around so that they could visit Silvermoon at the beginning of the game."
Jiang Feng knew what Canaan had said.
He had read it before on the message board. After the opening of the Banking Exchange Service, many of the rich players have gone over to Silvermoon immediately. Unfortunately, the moment they stepped out of the city, they would be killed by creep.
That was why very little players went over. Since they needed to spend 10,000 on every trip but they couldn't even leave the city, there was nothing to do over there, And the return trip would be another 10,000. It simply wasn't worth it.
"Then Ms. Canaan, what do you think about the Inheritors of the various races?" the host asked again.
"The inheritors?" Canaan became more serious. "The inheritors can be said to be one of the main uniqueness of this game. Inheritors are beyond the factions, and they each have very powerful individual abilities. They would be instrumental in the World War, the Great Divine-Infernal War, and the Space Wars!"
"The Inheritors themselves are a powerful faction on their own. They can command a single race to fight for them. Their growth, however, was much harder than normal players such as ourselves. Since they carry very heavy burdens and responsibilities, and that requires an equivalent amount of sacrifice."
'That was correct. If inheritors wanted to grow, then they had to sacrifice a lot. My sacrifice is the loneliness from unable to interact with other players as well as having to use the Monster Transmutation System to increase my own power as I couldn't increase my stats as normal through leveling up. I have also opened myself to more dangers.'
So he was still quite pleased with Canaan's answer. However, what Canaan said made him angry.
"The inheritors weren't all played by players. Some of them were NPCs. For example, the Wyrmlings from the Shifters. It only killed because it could, and it had no remorse. But it might be better that way, as the Shifters were just pets to us Divines and Infernals when we have reached the Divine-Infernal War. They were just fodders between our battles."
"Pets? Fodders? To hell with you!" He mumbled to himself the moment that Jiang Feng heard Canaan's sentence and he became extremely unhappy.
Originally, because of Nangong Tiaotiao, he still had some good impression toward Canaan Guild. A single woman built her own forces, so he was quite impressed with her. But now, that feeling was all gone.
Canaan did not mention the Inheritors from the Divines and Infernals was because they were players. And the show must have known. The only reason that she picked on the Shifters was that she felt that the Shifter's Inheritor was an NPC. But only when she knew that the Shifter's Inheritor was also a player much later, that she would realize that the comments she made today were laughable.
Jiang Feng passed the controller to Su Qing and returned to his room after dinner and he was still slightly angry about it.
"Pets? Fodders? Looks like all the factions were thinking the same thing. Just wait. One day, I will show you how powerful the fodders are!"
With an icy smile, he wore the Divine Dominion's terminal and once again entered the game.
...
Once he had logged into the game, he appeared in a corner at the gnome's deep pit.
He scanned around, and he found no gnomes. He then carefully headed towards the smithy where they were forging the Gnome King's Statue.
"Hm? They're done!"
When he reached the place, he hid in the darkness and looked at the water pool that was next to the smelting pool.
He could now see that there was a statue made of pure gold standing next to the water pool.
The statue had hair and a beard, and it had a stern expression. It held a giant smithing hammer, giving it an aura of violence.
That was the king of the gnomes that he had seen before.
At this time, Cameron appeared next to the Gnome King's statue. He pushed a fire-like object into the Gnome King's Statue, and he kept muttering something. The Dragonhead Staff shot out a pair of light into the eyes of the Gnome King's Statue.
Next, the Gnome King Statue's eyes seemed to have a life of its own as it moved about as if it was alive.
Driven by curiosity, he quickly used Identify on the Gnome King's Statue.
Gnome King's Statue: Tool of Inheritance
Introduction: The gnomes mixed the Gnome King's flesh and blood into the ore and forged it into a statue. The priest would then insert a slither of the Gnome King's soul into it, allowing it to hold the inheritance of the gnomes.
"Hehe, they finally finished it. Guess it's my turn now!"
Looking at the Gnome King's Statue, Jiang Feng smiled. He found somewhere where there's no one around and climbed down carefully, then crawled towards the back of the Gnome King's Statue.

Chapter 102: Locating the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Gnome King's Statue was very big.
Because of its size, no one noticed that he had reached the back of the Gnome King's Statue when he crept over from the shadows of a dark corner.
"Move the Gnome King's Statue out to the center of our clan. We shall let the Gnome King choose his own inheritor!" At this time, the voice of Cameron came from in front.
'Oh, you greedy Cameron. This time, I will make sure that you will vomit blood!'
Jiang Feng smiled coldly and took out the Qiankun Gourd, and aimed it at the back of the Gnome King's Statue.
"Absorb!"
-500.
-500.
...
After yelling out coldly, a pulling force appeared from within the Qiankun Gourd, and it quickly surrounded the entire Qiankun Gourd.
As the pulling force appeared from the Qiankun Gourd, his hit points were also reduced at a rate of 500 per second.
He currently had 100,000 hit points, which meant that if he couldn't absorb the Gnome King's Statue, then he would most certainly die!
-500.
-500.
...
"Faster! Faster!"
When his life had reduced to about half his maximum, he became anxious. As he saw the gnomes approaching the shadows of where he was, he became even more anxious.
After a few more moments, when a gnome entered the area that he was in, the Qiankun Gourd's absorption had finally enveloped the Gnome King's Statue, and a white light began surrounding it.
Whoosh!
At this time, the Gnome King's Statue instantly shrank and entered the Qiankun Gourd.
"Hide!"
The moment that he had the Gnome King's Statue, he quickly used the Hide skill and entered into a state of invisibility.
After becoming invisible, he immediately flew up towards the outside of the pit.
...
The gnomes that were just going to use the chains to tie up the Gnome King's statue were stunned.
"What happened? Where's the statue?"
"I'm not sure too. Why did the statue disappear all of a sudden? Was it the king that did it?"
"No, I think it must be someone who has gotten the inheritance. Otherwise, the Gnome King's Statue wouldn't vanish into thin air."
Before Cameron could walk further away in preparation to leave, he heard the arguments from the gnomes behind him.
He turned around, and his entire body shook when he saw that the Gnome King's Statue had disappeared, He yelled out angrily, "Where's the statue?!"
"We... We don't know! We were just going to tie it up and the statue vanished into thin air with a whoosh sound." A gnome leader looked at Cameron fearfully and described to him what had happened.
"That's right, there was a whoosh sound!" A gnome next to him said in agreement.
"I suspect that the gnome king had revealed itself and given the inheritance to one of our clan members," another gnome said.
"You idiot! Someone must have stolen the Gnome King's Statue! Find them!" He yelled at the gnomes furiously. Cameron was so enraged that his entire face was red and he couldn't stop shaking.
Forging the Gnome King's Statue had spent a lot of the gnomes' high-level ores that they had saved, not to mention that it had their race's inheritance.
If it was lost, he shall be the biggest sinner of the gnomish race. That was why he was so angry.
...
When Cameron was leading the entire gnomish clans in search of the Gnome King's Statue, Jiang Feng had already left the gnomes.
After he left the gnomes, he found a place to hide and didn't concern himself with the Gnome King's Statue.
While he had recruited both Robert and Rocket, they would definitely be enraged if they saw the Gnome King's Statue.
"Once the time is right, I would have Robert and Rocket receive the Gnome King's inheritance!"
The main purpose that he came here was to find the Earthcover Dragon's corpse and to get more Divine Dragon Blood to break the curse on Xiao Longnu.
Unfortunately, the Earthcover Dragon was so long inside the lava that the blood within its body had evaporated. Even if the blood hadn't evaporated, the blood would have been completely drained after so long. That was why he had only received five drops of Dragon Blood in the end.
In order to remove the curse on Xiao Longnu, he needed to feed her ten drops of Divine Dragon Blood at one go and use the power of the Divine Dragon's bloodline to break the curse.
Because he did not get so much Divine Dragon Blood, and it would be pointless to give it to Xiao Longnu, he then consumed them himself.
While he didn't get enough Divine Dragon Blood this trip and didn't break the curse on Xiao Longnu, he was still very well rewarded.
The Divine Artifact Ruyi Jingu Staff, Divine Level Experience Pill, two Divine-Level Materials, two gnomes that have high-level smithing skills, and the gnomes' inheritance.
Now that Yanhu and the others' powers had been increased to the point that I'm alright with, and my powers had increased that much, it's time to seek out the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor!"
The power that Yanhu and the others had had already surpassed the stats of a Level 35 boss. And as Yanhu had evolved twice, his overall power had even surpassed a Level 40 boss.
That was why he had decided to find the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor.
As he thought of that, he took out the Shifter Emperor's Order from his spatial bracelet and dripped a drop of blood on it.
In a moment, his blood began to boil and form a waypoint in a short while.
He opened the map and began his search according to the waypoint on the Shifter Emperor's Order.
He found the location of the waypoint very quickly.
"Hm?"
But just as he had found the location of the waypoint, the waypoint formed from blood on the Shifter Emperor's Order began to change.
'Don't tell me that the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor is an ancient city that is constantly on the move?' He thought to himself as he was slightly surprised. He blinked, he saw that the waypoint was moving again
The blood waypoint on the Shifter Emperor's Order kept on changing every second, and every second the difference in distance between the two old and new waypoints was 10km.
That meant that the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor was moving at a rate of 10km per second.
Looking at the waypoint, if he were to chase after it, he would need around one hour to reach the location. And during this time, the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor might have moved to another location.
No wonder the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor couldn't be destroyed in the Great Divine-Infernal Wars ten thousand years ago. It's a moving city! Looks like finding this ancient city is going to be a challenge in itself!" He mumbled to himself, but he didn't give up just yet.
He opened the system's report chatbox, then kept on dropping blood on the Shifter Emperor's Oder. Every time there was a change, he would then note it down on the report chatbox, hoping to find the pattern that the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor used.
After half an hour, there were 1,800 coordinates on his chatbox.
"I should be able to find the pattern on how the ancient city is moving with these coordinates."
Looking at the coordinates in the chatbox, he opened the map and labeled all of the coordinates, the cities that they were at, and where they were exactly at.
After around two or three hours, he finally labeled all 1,800 coordinates.
"At the beginning, the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor would be at Beiming City's Yulong Snow Mountain. One second later, it would appear to the Ice Maple Forest, 10km south of the Yulong Snow Mountain. Next, it would appear right on top of the Beiming City, and slowly move the sought... that meant that the ancient city was moving slowly to the south," He mumbled as he used the chatbox to calculate.
He was still, in the end, one of the best students in the university. Not to mention that he could write very fast. In a short while, formulas appeared within the chatbox, then the formulas seemed to expand more than thirty pages.
"Whew, finally got it. Luckily, mathematical formulas are something I'm good at. If it was someone else, he probably wouldn't be able to find where the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor even is!" After spending another hour, he was finally able to decode the ancient city's moving pattern, including where it would appear one second later, or even where it would appear one hour later. He could calculate all of his.
"If my calculation is correct, thirty minutes later, the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor would appear near the Flaming Cloud Forest near Zhuque City in thirty minutes!' He mumbled and polymorphed into a human form. He wore the Dark Shadow mask and used the Town Portal Scroll to return to the Imperial Dragon City, then used the teleportation circle to teleport to Zhuque City.
After he had appeared in Zhuque City, he didn't stop to rest and quickly left the city, heading to the Flaming Cloud Forest.

Chapter 103: Entering the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Flaming Cloud Forest.
The skies were like being burned, it was very strange indeed.
All the monsters within were monsters of the fire element.
Jiang Feng didn't rest, and quickly flew to one of the giant trees and looked at the burning clouds in the sky with amazement.
"I never thought that a place like this could exist in the game. The entire sky was clouds of fiery red!" Jiang Feng raised his dragon head and looked into the sky.
He looked at the clouds that were like fire in the skies, then looked at the time. The Ancient City would be here in five minutes.
As he saw that, he became curious. "Is the Ancient City moving on the ground or in the air?"
While he knew that the ancient city moved, but he didn't know if it was moving in the air or underground.
"Should be in the air. If it moved underground, it wouldn't be possible for it to move that quickly by breaching through the mantle." He gave it a thought and decided to wait in the air.
On the official website or message board, no players had ever posted anything about an ancient city that could move. That meant that either the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor was underground or it was high above in the air.
By his estimation, it was much more possible for it to appear in the air.
With that, he flew into the air and quickly flew into the air.
In four minutes, he flew thousands of meters and flew above the burning clouds.
"This..."
When he appeared on the flaming clouds, he realized that there was a group of monsters flying on it. Even the flaming clouds were dense enough to stand on.
Firecloud Hawk: Level 50 Monsters
HP: 350,000
Attack: 5,000-7,000
Defence: 3,500
Skill: Great Fireball
Whoosh!
Just as he had reached the top of the fire clouds, a group of Firecloud Hawk let out a screech and came towards him, throwing fireballs the size of water tanks towards him.
"Bling! Hide!"
Seeing that, he quickly used Blink and blinked up further in the air and used Hide to hide his form.
He didn't want to fight with the Firecloud Eagles at this time since he had something more important to do.
"That's?!"
After flying for a few hundred meters in the air and left the area of the flaming clouds, he appeared further upwards where there were white clouds.
At this time, he suddenly saw a gigantic object moving towards him.
A gigantic object was ten kilometers away had swiftly appeared above him a second later, floating tens of thousands in the air.
"It's so big!"
He raised his head to look up into the sky, but the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor had covered half the sky. Its size was even bigger than the Imperial Dragon City, and it was so magnificent.
The Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor existed within a transparent globe of light as if it was within a water droplet.
But what made him even more surprised was that on one side, there were nine giant phantoms of the Golden Crow, and each Golden Crow was enveloped by flames, and each of their sizes was like a small mountain.
At the tails of phantoms of the Golden Crow, a chain made of flames locked it together with the bottom of the ancient city.
It seemed that the reason that the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor could move was because of the nine Golden Crows.
"Nine Golden Crows dragging an ancient city. Who designed the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor? This was so damn magnificent! If I can have this ancient city, it would be so eye-catching!" Jiang Feng said to himself excitedly as he stared at the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor and the nine Golden Crow Phantoms until they all disappeared.
"Chase it down!"
His location just now was too far from the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor, and he couldn't get to the inside of the ancient city in time. So all he could do was to find another place to chase it down.
He took out the Qiankun Gourd and released Xiao Longnu and he himself hid inside the gourd, and let Xiao Longnu bring him further south to Nanhai City.
This time, in order to be able to get into the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor he chose a place where it would appear one hour later.
Under Xiao Longnu's lead, he arrived at Nanhai City.
According to his estimation, he had confirmed the location of where the ancient city would be in an hour. After Xiao Longnu left Nanhai City, he then came out from the Qiankun Gourd, put away Xiao Longnu, and directly flew into the air.
...
The Southern Sea is the ocean close to Nanhai City.
In the skies of the Southern Sea, a dragon kept on flying towards the sky, and its speed was very quickly!
That dragon was Jiang Feng!
"There's still around 50 minutes. Let's hope I could fly high enough into the skies!"
He kept on flying, higher and higher.
From the sky, he could even see the island where Canaan Guild had built their base on.
Canaan Guild's base was also called Canaan City and was currently building shops and residences.
Once the shops and residences had been built, Canaan City would be able to earn money by renting the shops out and selling the residences.
The price of hoses in the game was similar to the prices in reality. A basic house would need around 300,000, similar to the prices of homes in the slums. A high-level residence's price could reach up to 5,000,000, similar to the price of houses in a first-tier city. This was before you included the luxurious residences.
While that being the case, there would definitely be players buying homes without them waiting for too long.
This is because there was a marriage system in the game. Other than both sides reaching an intimacy rating of 1,000, they also needed a house.
Marriage in the game was not just for show, it was also to get kids.
Once a kid was born, their basic stats were all very high and had the growth speed of Spiritual Level monsters, and were very powerful. Once the kids had grown up, they would become much stronger than pets. That was the objective of the marriage system in the game.
Of course, helping a kid grow was quite difficult. One needed to feed them food and pills to increase their stats at the beginning. Bringing up a kid in the game could be more expensive than bringing up a kid in the real world.
"I wonder if I can get married. What will my child be like after he or she was born?" He was looking forward to it once he thought about that.
"That's fine. Marriage was a little bit too early for me. I should rebuild the ancient city first!"
He shook his head and removed the thought from his head as he continued fling into the air.
After half an hour, he finally reached the tens of thousands of meters high in the sky. He couldn't see anything anymore if he looked down.
At this time, he also felt some sort of pressure and couldn't fly upwards.
He did try to continue to fly upward, but in just a while his HP had quickly fallen, and that shocked him enough to quickly fly back down.
"Hm? It's here!"
After staying in the air for a few more minutes, he once again saw the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor!
He gave it a look and already saw the trails of the ancient city's movement. It was slightly lower than he was, and he heaved a breath of relief. All he needed to do was to wait for the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor to come forward and enter it as soon as possible.
Now, he was almost parallel with the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor, and he could see it even more clearly.
The nine Golden Crow phantoms that were pulling weren't the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor itself, but a giant island. The ancient city was built in the middle of the island. The island was twice as big as the island that Canaan City was on, and there were plenty of monster territories and resources nearby.
At this time, the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor emitted a thick mist. Within the mists, a group of red-crowned cranes was flying around while emitting clear cries. Mountains and rivers, the flowing waters, waterfalls, flowers, pavilions, and tall buildings. It didn't look like a place where the Shifter Emperor would live, but more like a utopia.
Whoosh.
In just a blink of an eye, the nine Golden Crow phantoms had pulled the island where the ancient city was not far from where he was underneath him.
"High-Speed Movement! Blink!"
One second before the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor appeared right under him, he had used multiple mobility skills to rush down as quickly as possible. In the next moment, the ancient city appeared under his feet. He took out the Shifter Emperor's Order, his claw holding it tightly, and rushed past the transparent light globe and entered within the ancient city.

Chapter 104: Rebuilding the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor

When Jiang Feng passed the transparent globe that surrounded the island while holding the Shifter Emperor's Order, he was pulled towards a giant door in the city.
The gate was around several hundred meters tall.1 Standing in front of the gate, he felt as if he was a mere vermin.
Holding the Shifter's Emperor's Order, he floated toward the gate. Using the order to wave on it, the gate slowly opened.
He passed the gate and was now on the streets of an ancient city.
The streets were very wide, and buildings were built by its side.
He flew for a while until he finally reached the center of the ancient city.
Only to see that in the middle of the ancient city was a giant statue of around 360 meters tall.
The statue was of a three-legged golden crow. The Golden Crow wore a crown and stood on two of its legs, and another leg stepped on the Donghuang Bell, looking into the heavens, spreading its majestic aura!
"I see, then this must be the stature of the Shifter Emperor, Donghuang."
After looking at the statue for a while, he then continued to fly deeper.
Very quickly, he entered a palace that was floating on clouds. This palace was the Shifter Emperor's Palace, where the Shifter Emperor's Order was placed.
As he owned the Shifter Emperor's Order, he was allowed entry to the Shifter Emperor's Palace very easily and arrived at the place where they came to hold their council meeting in the Shifter Emperor's Palace.
He jumped using his dragon body and landed on a giant golden throne that was facing the gate facing outwards in the middle of the hall.
This throne was indeed the throne of the Emperor, with many Three-Legged Golden Crows carved on it.
At the back of the throne was a gap, and the shape of the gap was similar to the Shifter Emperor's Order.
He gave it a thought and inserted the Shifter Emperor's Order into that gap.
Ding! System Prompt: Will you rebuild the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor?
"Yes!"
Since he was already here at the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor, of course, he would want to rebuild it.
Buzz!
As soon as he finished replying, the entire island was shaking and the throne radiated a golden light. On top of this throne, his phantom had formed. A dragon's phantom appeared above the throne that kept on gliding.
Ding! Server Announcement: The Inheritor of the Shifters "Rank 5 Wyrmling" had rebuilt the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor. Three days later, all races may attack the city. The attacking force has a cap of 500,000. The duration is 24 hours. If the defense succeeds, the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor is rebuilt. If the defense fails, the Shifter Emperor's Order shall shatter, and the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor shall disappear forever!
"Hm? A great army formed from 500,000 of all the races? Haha, the Ancient City itself is tens of thousands of meters in the air, how could they attack us?" Jiang Feng gave a cold smile when he heard the server announcement.
However, the next server announcement wiped the smile off his face.
Ding! System Prompt: The Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor is being rebuilt and could no longer maintain its flight. It has fallen in the Southern Sea at 35121.63463. The Ancient City's 100,000 Shifter army had been deployed. The Shifter army may not leave the island's radius and will disappear after the siege!
"Damn! The Ancient City can't fly when it's being rebuilt and you give me a mere 100,000 Shifter Army for defense? 100,000 versus 500,000? Are you joking?" Jiang Feng became agitated and mumbled. "Hopefully they are all at level 100, or I won't be able to hold against them!"
With that, he pushed himself off the throne using his dragon claw and flew off using his dragon body, and appeared outside the Shifter's palace.
Bang. Bang.
"We greet Your Majesty! May Your Majesty rule all under the heavens and live as long as the heavens!"
The moment he appeared outside of the palace, he saw the army made from tens of types of monsters all knelt before him, and worshipped him using the Tongue of the Beasts.
Jiang Feng, being worshipped by 100,000 monsters felt his blood boiling with excitement.
The feeling of being supreme made him feel good.
He was like the emperor within the movies, receiving the worship of all men under the heavens.
"This must be a feeling that everyone dreamed of. An emperor? It feels good. No wonder there are so many people snatching the throne from each other, even if it meant blood being spilled!"
Jiang Feng coiled his body, his eyes as big as fists released a glint of light, enjoying the feeling that he had.
...
The Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor was being rebuilt. The server announcement had rung through the entire Huaxia Server.
Huaxia had a total of 30,000,000 players registered, and there were around 20,000,000 players that were online. When they heard of the announcement, there was an uproar.
"The Inheritor of the Shifters is going to rebuild the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor? Haha, this must be the joke of the century! A mere data had such ambition, and it is just a wyrmling too! Their final destiny is to just become a pet for us players."
"Anyone know where the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor is located? I want to go take a look and see how that Shifters' Inheritor could defend against an attack from 500,000 players!
"Didn't you watch the Analyze the Divine Dominion TV show? The guild leader Canaan said that the Shifters' Inheritor was only a monster that kills for the sake of killing. It's just an animal with some level of intelligence, there was no need to fear them. I don't think we need 500,000, just 100,000 would be enough to destroy them!"
...
To this group of players, monsters were only worthy of being their pets. Even if it's their inheritors. No one was treating Jiang Feng as the real deal.
Even many of the large factions had the same train of thought.
However, the Inheritor of the Divines, Qiu Si thought differently as he had been killed by Jiang Feng twice.
"Cousin, go and gather the guilds that have good relationships with us. We cannot allow the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor to be rebuilt, otherwise, we would have endless trouble!"
Qiu Si had been killed by Jiang Feng twice. He wouldn't believe that the Inheritor of the Shifters was all brawn and no brains.
By his estimate, the 500,000 players sieging the Ancient City probably would have a hard time thanks to Jiang Feng.
"Alright, I'll contact them!"
Shen Ye remembered it. One of the two dragons that attacked them was the Shifters' Inheritor. If it weren't because of the two dragons and the bosses they led, their base wouldn't have fallen.
And he had heard from Qiu Si about Jiang Feng's strength, so he didn't believe that Jiang Feng would depend on raw power alone.
"Damn!"
After sending a few messages, Shen Ye was very disappointed with the replies he had received.
"Haha, Guild Leader Shen Ye, it's just an animal. Is there even a need to start a guild leader meeting? Don't worry, our guild will send out 10,000 members. I'll guarantee that they would defeat that Shifters' Inheritor."
"Guild Leader Shen Ye, don't be such a coward just because your base had been destroyed. No need for a meeting. Three days later, I will bring some members over."
...
Looking at the replies sent over by the other guild leaders, none of them didn't treat Jiang Feng as a threat. Instead, they even sneered at Shen Ye for being a coward.
"What is it?" Qiu Si asked Shen Ye.
Shen Ye didn't speak but merely showed Qiu Si his chat history.
After reading it, Qiu Si also started to frown. "These people are even more arrogant than I am. If these guilds were as disunited as this, then it's quite possible for the Ancient City to be rebuilt. If it is rebuilt, then we're going to be in trouble when the Great Divine-Infernal War begins!"
"I'm going to leave for the next three days to work on a quest. Train our members on their cooperation. Three days later, we cannot allow the Shifters' Inheritor to rebuild the Ancient City!" Qiu Si told Shen Ye after he seemingly remembered something, and then used the Town Portal Scroll and left.
...
Just as when the guilds and players didn't treat the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor as a legitimate threat, Jiang Feng floated on top of the ancient city and looked at the ruined walls around the city with irritation.
While the city was intact after the war ten-thousand years ago, several parts of the walls had been heavily damaged. Because the walls were very high, repairing them would require a large number of resources.
"Looks like the auction needs to start earlier this week. I need money fast so that I can repair these damaged walls!"
With that, he gave Uncle Fu an order to start the auction early and throw everything he doesn't need into the shop's storage.
He even asked Uncle Fu to do a round of promotion just for this.
Ding! City-wide Loudspeaker: Hello everyone. I am the steward of the Imperial Dragon Auction House, Uncle Fu. Due to the request of several of our clients, the auction that is scheduled for Friday will be rescheduled to tonight. At the time, we will auction off a Rank 8 pet egg, a Rank 6 pet egg, a full set of Level 35 White-Silver Undead set, and other high-level equipment. We await your patronage!

Chapter 105: Training the Monster Army
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After giving his orders to Uncle Fu, he then came before the 100,000 Shifter army.
The Shifters were formed from wolves, tigers, panthers, hawks, and other monsters.
What made him disappointed was that the monsters' levels were just around 40.
100,000 Level 40 monsters wanting to defeat an army of 500,000 was going to be very difficult.
"Whew. Looks like the difficulty is quite high. If I were to win using a few numbers and be victorious in the siege, then I need to train them!" He sighed as he summoned Xiao Longnu, Yanhu, and others after he looked at his army.
"Damn, boss, since when did you recruit so many underlings! You're so great!" Heifeng was so shocked that he jumped up the moment he saw the monster army.
"Stop talking nonsense. I need you to lead one of them each to train their ability to cooperate with each other. During the siege, all of you will be leading the monsters!" Jiang Feng rolled his eyes at Heifeng and said to them.
"This... Is this the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor?" Xiao Longnu asked him, shocked. She had just turned into her dragon form and flew to the sky to give the place a look and then fly back.
"Yes." Jiang Feng nodded and said seriously, "This is indeed the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor and the only place that we of the Shifters can stay in. But three days later, there will be a war in this place. I want you all to do all you can and to fight in order to protect the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor. Once we fail, the Ancient City will disappear forever. Then do you know how important this battle is?"
"The Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor! Damn! I never thought that I could one day stand within the Shifter's holy city, I'm so excited," Yanhu waved his tail, then excitedly licked his nose. "Don't worry, boss! Anyone that dared to make a move against the Ancient City, I will be the first one to take care of him!"
"Alright, then each of you chooses a race to lead and train. All that has contributed to the city's defense will be given an Evolution Pill!" He said in order to motivate his underlings.
"About that... boss, you still owe me an Evolution Pill?" Yanhu looked at Jiang Feng flatteringly.
Jiang Feng had promised him that as long as his acting was on point when trying to get Robert and Rocket's trust, he would give him an Evolution Pill. He had not forgotten about that pill.
"Other than the part about the buttocks were problematic, it had no other problems," Jiang Feng said as he threw an Evolution to Yanhu. "Here, your reward!"
"Boss, I love you!"
Yanhu jumped and munched the pill into his mouth.
"Boss, me too..."
"Heifeng, you didn't do anything, and you want an Evolution Pill? Not on my watch!" When Yanhu saw Heifeng smiled at Jiang Feng and wanted to say something, he quickly shouted and stopped Heifeng mid-sentence.
Houwang, Manwang, the Thunderclap Mantis, Bluecloud Panther, Double-headed Wolf King, Haozi all looked at the Evolution Pill in Yanhu's mouth with lights brimming in their eyes. They were all excited in their hearts, but they didn't dare ask for it because they had yet to prove themselves.
"Aright, go begin the training. If you do well, you will get the Evolution Pills eventually," Jiang Feng said and gave his eight underlings the authority to lead the 10,000 Shifters army. Next, each of them led one race of monsters to train where there was more space.
He then looked at the Evolution Pill in his Spatial Bracelet and he felt that he wanted to cry and laugh at the same time.
He really didn't want to give the Evolution Pill to Yanhu, but in order to motivate the other underlings, he had had no choice but to give it to Yanhu.
"I need to first repair the walls and go to the fifth floor of the Cave of the Undead and farm a set of Level 35 White-Silver Undead Set. If not, I wouldn't be able to fulfill the promise that I made later tonight. Maybe I could even get a few Evolution Pills."
After he was done, he then jumped into the air with his two claws extended into the air and flew towards one part of the wall that was heavily damaged.
Xiao Longnu glanced at Jiang Feng, then quickly followed behind him.
As they landed on the damaged wall, Xiao Longnu then turned and looked at the armies led by Yanhu, and the others had begun their training. He frowned and looked at Jiang Feng, "Xiao Feng, what do you want me to do?"
"You?"
He was slightly lost when he looked at Xiao Longnu. He really didn't arrange any tasks for Xiao Longnu.
Jiang Feng then said with a smile, "You don't have to do anything. Just follow me!"
"No! Are you treating me like baggage?" Xiao Longnu became disappointed.
"Um..." Jiang Feng shook his head and gave it some thought. "Alright, I do have a task for you, but it's going to be quite complex. Go to the cities and ask around about what the guilds were doing. Once you're back, I have things that I need you to do for me. But before you leave, wait for me and bring me to the outskirts of the Imperial Dragon City."
...
Jiang Feng then opened the Management Panel for the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor and spent the 30,000 left on his card in order to recruit ten high-level builders, and began to repair the walls.
Luckily was simply repairing the city as the foundation had already existed, and not building from scratch. If he were to build a city from scratch, he couldn't afford to pay for it.
Even then, if he wanted to repair the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor completely, he would need at least 2, 000, 000. It was around the same price for building a small base like Canaan Guild's base.
There was nothing he could do. The Ancient City was too big. There were still many places that needed repairs, and he wouldn't be able to stop spending money.
When the repairs on the walls had started, he noticed that far away from the Ancient City were boats. On them were players, all of them came to see what it was all about.
Many of the players were shocked when they saw the size of the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor.
Jiang Feng glanced at them and ignored them. He then entered the Qiankun Gourd. He had let Xiao Longnu brought him to the outskirts of the Imperial Dragon City. He then hid afterward and ran towards the Cave of the Undead.
When he was on his way there, he remembered about the Donghuang Bell fragment when he first used the Treasure Find ability and frowned. "There is still one more fragment in the Dragon City Riverbed. After I had farmed for an undead Set, I should go in and look for it. Let's hope that the Donghuang Bell fragment wasn't in the Dragon City Riverbed dungeon, if not it would have fallen into Qiu Si's hand already."
The Dragon City Riverbed dungeon had five levels, and only four had been unlocked. Qiu Si hadn't unlocked the fifth floor.
That meant that if the Donghuang Bell fragment was in the Dragon City Riverbed dungeon, then it would be the same with the Cave of the Undead where it would be on the fifth floor. Currently, only Qiu Si could unlock the fifth floor. That was why if there was someone that could get the fragment from the dungeon, that person would be Qiu Si!
Once Qiu Si obtains the Donghuang Bell fragment, he wouldn't bet with him like last time. He would definitely try to gather all the Donghuang Bell fragments. And it would greatly increase his difficulty in finding them, even making it impossible to complete.
"Whatever. Anyone and everyone as a price, and if they have a price then they can be bought. I should now focus on getting the Undead Set and earn some money to repair the ancient city. Everything else can be done later!" He shook his head and tried not to have his thoughts drifted away, and ran towards the Cave of the Undead.
What he didn't know was that after he had left the Ancient City, Yanhu and Heifeng who were training the monster army had started stirring trouble again.

Chapter 106: The Chief Plot of the Ten Main Plots
Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor, Eastern Plaza.
Yanhu, Heifeng, and the rest of the followers were training the 100,000 monster army.
Yanhu led the Level 40 Blazinghorn Tigers, and Heifeng led the Level 40 Scaled Panthers.
"That girl, come over here and massage my leg!" Yanhu pointed at a female Blazinghorn Tiger.
Then the Blazinghorn Tiger that was pointed at came forward, extended her tiger paw, and massaged Yanhu's leg, and he was getting comfortable.
"Hehe," Heifeng, seeing that Yanhu was enjoying himself, then learned from him and pointed at a female Scaled Panther. "All of you girls, come here and give your Uncle Hei some massage!"
"The other tigers, all of you continue with your training one-on-one. On the battlefield, men have three weaknesses, The neck, the chest, and the eggs. The females also have three weaknesses, the neck, the chest, and the pair of white rabbits," Yanhu instructed the ten thousand Blazinghorn Tiger. "Alright, remember when you attack, you must attack their weaknesses. Attack them violently. Attack them ceaselessly!"
When Heifeng heard Yanhu's words, he nodded continuously and pointed at the Scaled Panthers and said, "Listen to Uncle Hu and learn from him."
Yanhu and Heifeng exchanged glances and began to enjoy themselves.
"Hm?" At this time, Yanhu looked at the Blackiron Wolves that were led by the Double-Headed Wolf King, and his eyes stared at him angrily and roared, "What are you doing, you Double-headed Wolf? You are supposed to train your army, why the hell are you riding on them?!"
"Hey-ho, hey-ho..." Just as Heifeng was enjoying the relaxation with his eyes closed, he heard a strange voice coming from beside him. He opened his eyes, only to see that the Bluecloud Panther wasn't leading his monster army. Instead, he came over and was doing some dirty things with a Scaled Panther that was giving him a massage.
"Bluecloud Panther, to hell with you! Do you think that I don't have my pride?" Heifeng was getting furious, jumped, and smacked the Bluecloud Panther away in one swipe.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Suddenly, several wind blades appeared and struck at Yanhu, Heifeng, the Double-Headed Wolves, and the Bluecloud Panther, blowing them away and inflicting a single gash on them.
The Thunderclap Mantis waved its scythes and waved its poison sting, and yelled out coldly, "The master has given us his commands. All those that do not train properly shall be executed!"
The Thunderclap Mantis was contracted to Jiang Feng, so Jiang Feng could give him commands directly.
Jiang Feng knew that Yanhu and Heifeng wouldn't train the army properly before he left, so he told the Thunderclap Mantis to use intimidation on them.
After so many fusions and the fact that the Thunderclap Mantis was originally already higher in ranks than Yanhu and Heifeing, he was also the most powerful among them.
"Brother Mantis! Brother Mantis! My brother from another mother! I know what I did was wrong! So please don't tell the boss, or I'm going to be in big trouble!" Heifeng said to the Thunderclap Mantis as he licked his wound without getting angry, then quickly went to train his monster army.
Yanhu glanced at the Thunderclap Mantis's scythe and licked his nose. Then he roared furiously at the Blazinghorn Tiger army. "What did I tell you? I told you to train! Look at how you're training right now! I'm going to teach you how to position yourselves when fighting with humans!"
Yanhu and Heifeng both lost their splendor before the Thunderclap Mantis. The Double-Head Wolf King and Bluecloud Panther didn't dare to say anything and quickly went to train their own armies.
When the Thunderclap Mantis saw it, it also went back to its own territory and began to train the Gale Mantis.
...
Ding! System Prompt: Transmute Monster Successful. Congratulations. You have gained one bag of virus, one piece of equipment, one Evolution Pill, and one Level 40 Experience Pill.
"Whew, After four hours, I finally managed to get one set, even got myself an Evolution Pill, not bad!" He happily said as he took the equipment that he transmuted from the Skeletal General and it was the last piece that he needed to form a set.
As the auction was going to start soon, he quickly put all the equipment that he got into the auction house's storage.
"It's time to go to the Dragon City Riverbed to take a look!"
After he had prepared the equipment set, all he needed to do was to wait for the auction house to prepare the capital for him.
At this time, he was going to go to the Dragon City Riverbed to look for the Donghuang Bell fragment.
Next, he left the Cave of the Undead and arrived at the Dragon City Riverbed.
He had looked for it for around three hours, but he couldn't find the Donghuang Bell fragment, and this made him very disappointed.
"Looks like that piece of Donghuang Bell Fragment was located in the Dragon City Riverbed dungeon!"
Since there was nothing else he could do, he opened his skill panel and looked for the Town Portal skill, and returned to the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor.
He had already become the owner of the Ancient City. As long as he wasn't in the aggro radius, he could return to the Ancient City whenever and wherever.
The auction ended in two hours, and he ordered Uncle Fu to transfer all the profit that he made this month to him.
Very quickly, a huge amount of money was transferred to him.
Within one month and inclusive of the previous auction, he had earned a total of 4,200,000. Most of the profit was gained from the previous auction.
High-level builders could be hired at the price of 30,000 each. He took out 3,000,000 and hired another hundred high-level builders and sent them to repair the damages on the Ancient City.
High-level priests could be hired at 20,000 each. With around 100,000 left, he hired another fifty high-level priests to help in the restoration of the wall's hit points.
"It would be better if I could hire NPCs of other classes. It would be easier to defend the city," He shook his head as he looked at the type of NPCs he could hire at the Hiring Mall that he could access from the Ancient City's Management Panel.
Looking at the remaining 200,000 he had left, he wasn't sure if he should cry or laugh. "Looks like building a city really is something that keeps on using your resources. If you succeed, the profit you can gain is unimaginable. But if you fail, you would lose almost everything."
Whoosh.
Just as he was mumbling to himself, Xiao Longnu quickly flew in from afar and landed in front of him.
"How did the information gathering go?" He asked with a smile when he saw her return.
"Those guilds did not take us as a serious threat and they said that we are just a group of savage animals. I am very mad!" Xiao Longnu said angrily.
"Savage animals?"
Jiang Feng's eyes narrowed, and murderous intent appeared in his eyes. 'I'll wait. In two more days, I will be the one drinking your tears!'
"Right, I have also heard of something quite interesting," Xiao Longnu suddenly thought of something and told Jiang Feng.
"What is it?" Jiang Feng asked.
Xiao Longnu then said, "I heard that some of the guild's elite members were trying to find a way to trigger the Chief Plot of the Ten Main Plots, Uproar in Heaven. I also heard that the Monster Cloud that exists near Dongyu City was the important trigger of this plot."
"The Chief Plot of the Ten Main Plots? Uproar in Heaven? Interesting. Let's go, I'll bring you to Dongyu City!"
The rewards from the quests related to the ten main plots were all very good. It could be seen from the Chinese Ghost Story plot quests. He wouldn't want for the quest to fall into the hands of other factions.
So, he was ready to see if he could take this plot quest and use the rewards he gained from the quest to increase his overall power before the siege!

Chapter 107: The King Has Returned!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Dongyu City, Mount Huaguo!
It was a place where the mountain was green and the water was clear, and a place where the birds chirp and the flowers fragrant.
There were plenty of monkey type monsters, ranging from Level 30 to Level 50.
On top of Mount Huaguo, was a cloud that was blacker than night.
It kept on floating on top of Mount Huaguo, and would sometimes shoot down lightning, killing players that were hunting monsters within Mount Huaguo's territory.
"That damn Monster Cloud! My second class-change quest was to kill 50 Level 40 Coldice Monkey. But every time I came over and killed a few monsters I would be blasted to death. Forget about the class-change quest, my level had now dropped to below Level 30!"
"Look, it's the Inheritor of the Divines Qiu Si, the Inheritor of the Infernals Yao Qiong, the game's first guild leader Canaan, the Tianxia Gang's leader Hao Tian, Lingyun Pavillion's Ling Yun, and Xingyu Guild's Su Xingyu had all gathered together. Looks like they were paying a lot of attention to the Chief of the Ten Main Plot Quest."
"Of course. The official site had said that the rewards for the Ten Main Plot Quests are going to be very good, but it can't be completed at one go. I heard that every plot quest has elements that can be done in the late game. And there are plenty of side quests involved, finishing any of them would take tremendous effort!"
...
After Jiang Feng had arrived at Mount Huaguo, he then saw a group of players gathering within Mount Huaguo. None of these players were killing monsters, afraid that the Monster Cloud would blasé them to death. The reason they came here was that they heard that the major guilds were trying to find a way to take the Monster Cloud and trigger the plot quest and came here to watch how things develop.
He turned his body smaller and hid in the cracks between the rocks and listened to the players' conversation. All of their eyes were at the people heading towards the top of Mount Huaguo.
The Inheritor of the Divines Qiu Si, the Inheritor of the Infernals Yao Qiong, Canaan, Hao Tian, Ling Yun, and Su Xingyu. All of them had a flying pet with them.
"All of them are here? But if they want to vie against me, then let's have a warm-up before the siege!"
He will not simply let others have the quest for the Chief Plot of the Ten Main Plots as the rewards were definitely going to be very good. If they had obtained it, it would be bad for him.
"Qiu Si had acted!"
At this time, Qiu Si, who was holding his Divine Dragon Sword rushed towards the Monster Cloud while he was riding the Blazing Hawk.
Cackle!
Just as Qiu Si was fifty meters away from the Monstrous Cloud, the Monstrous Cloud shot a bolt of lightning towards him.
Monster Cloud: Level 50 Unique Monster
Introduction: Originally being named as the Prismatic Cloud of Fortune, it was Qitian Dasheng Sun Wukong's steed. After Sun Wukong was stabbed in the back, it returned to Mount Huaguo, waiting for Sun Wukong to return. In order to protect Mount Huaguo from being harmed, anything that dared to harm even a single blade of grass would be killed. Eventually, due to its violence, it transformed into the Monster Cloud.
Combat Stats
HP: 500,000
Magical Attack: 10,000-12,000
Defense: 5,000
Skills: Lightning Bolt, Lightning Snake, Baptism by the Five Thunders.
Mount Stats

300% Movement Speed
"It's suicide!"
After seeing the Monster Cloud's stats, he was quite surprised and then smiled coldly at Qiu Si.
Qiu Si and the rest couldn't identify monsters that were five levels higher than them, which meant that they couldn't see the Monster Cloud's stats.
Even if they could see its stats using items, they could only see its basic stats, but not its mount stats.
Jiang Feng was already a Shifter, so no matter what kind of monsters they were, he could always see their stats clearly.
And that was why he said that Qiu Si was suicidal for attacking the Monster Cloud!
While the Monster Cloud didn't have very high stats and Qiu Si could comfortably deal with it, but when the Monster changed into its Mount state, its speed would be unrivaled at the current stage of the game.
Whoosh!
Qiu Si dodged the incoming Lightning Bolt and was preparing to attack the Monster Cloud. Suddenly, it grew a small tail. In the next moment, the Monster Cloud's speed sharply increased. In the blink of an eye, it appeared on top of Qiu Si and struck him with a lightning bolt directly on his head.
Spark!
Qiu Si had been struck by the lightning until he was black as ash, and he fell from the sky together with the Blazing Hawk as they were both paralyzed.
Luckily, the paralysis didn't continue for long. The moment he woke up, he quickly used a mobility skill to dodge away and fall into Mount Huaguo, leaving the Monster Cloud's aggro radius.
"Haha! So the Inheritor of the Divines was only at this level, I'll go and try!"
Seeing that Qiu Si had failed, Ling Yun sneered and rode his winged pet, a rank six Greenhill Hawk, and flew toward the Monster Cloud.
Spark!
But before he could even come close to the Monster Cloud, he was struck by a lightning bolt and had to leave the Monster Cloud's aggro radius.
Qiu Si looked at Ling Yun with disgust and took flight again.
This time, he had learned from his past experience and immediately used his ultimate. "Divine Dragon Pierce!"
-10,234
In the blink of an eye, he had appeared behind the Monster Cloud and the Monster Cloud had ten thousand worth of damage floating up from its head.
When he saw Qiu Si's attack, Ling Yun frowned.
That skill could be considered as a skill that focused on dealing critical damage. With their number of HP, the most they could do was to absorb a few hits from him. "Looks like I did underestimate him!"
"Divine Dragon Slash!"
After he had dealt 10,000 worth of damage, he quickly used his mobility skill to move behind the Monster Cloud and used another power skill.
"Tornado!"
After being slashed by the Divine Dragon Slash, he didn't let the Monster Cloud change its state and used another area-of-effect skill to throw the Monster Cloud into the air while he kept on attacking.
...
"Looks like after he had unlocked the Divine Dragon Sword's other skills. Otherwise, he would not have access to the Tornado area-of-effect skill. Looks like the Inheritor of the Divines was still quite strong!" Jiang Feng looked at the battle and mumbled to himself.
The Myth Group's players were all screaming in support when they saw Qiu Si's handsome form.
Hao Tian merely looked at the players that were screaming and snorted. "The Monster Cloud is mine. No one could take it from me!"
With that, he rode a Rank 7 Cloudstep Wolf and hurried over.
"If you want the Monster Cloud, then you will have to prove yourself to be the strongest then!" Ling Yun had fully healed himself and rushed over once more.
The very beautiful Su Xingyu also stepped on a Hundred-Flower Butterfly and joined the fray.
Yao Qiong didn't say anything and stepped over an Infernal Cloud and flew over with Canaan behind her.
At one moment, Qiu Si, Hao Tian, Ling Yun, Su Xingyu, Canaan and Yao Qiong attacked the Monster Cloud in a hexagram formation to tightly surround it and kept on attacking the Monster Cloud.
The Monster Cloud's attacks were all single targeted skill, but because of its deep grudge, it didn't choose to escape but fought with all six of them so that he could protect Mount Huaguo.
It needed one or two seconds in order to switch from one state to another. Once he had changed to the mount's stats, he would have lost attack power. And once the six of them caught the opportunity, it would lose half his HP. But once he had switched his stats over, the most it could do was to attack one of them.
If this continued, it would definitely die!
"Dang it, the plot quest has to be triggered and not by killing it!"
Roar!
Jiang Feng was done hiding and his body ballooned directly and shattered the rocks, scaring the nearby players as they ran. He unleashed a dragon howl, his giant body appeared in the air, and a thick staff appeared in his claw. That was indeed the Jingu Staff, and it kept on growing.
"Bigger! Bigger! Get bigger!"
And very quickly, the Jingu Staff was as broad as a water pail and almost a hundred meter long!
"Roar! Get out of my way! That Monster Cloud is mine!"
He wielded the Jingu Staff and used it to strike all six of them violently. The powerful aura even scared off many of the watching players to the point where they dropped to the ground.
At this point, even the monkeys that were playing in Mount Huaguo all began to cry and scream when they saw the familiar giant staff in the heavens.
"The king has returned!"

Chapter 108: I Want Heaven and Earth to Rotate for Me!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When the Jingu Staff appeared, the entire heavens was darkened!
All the players within Mount Huaguo were horrified the moment they saw the giant Jingu Staff came crashing down.
"The king has returned!"
The monkeys all had their eyes wet, screaming and yelling as they looked at the huge Jingu staff with their heads high. They did not see Jiang Feng, who was covered by the Jingu Staff.
While the players did not know what the monkeys were yelling about when they saw giant Jingu Staff and the monkeys that were screaming in madness, many of the players were shaking in excitement with glints of lights in their eyes.
"That's..."
Qiu Si was going to attack the Monster Cloud again when he saw the giant Jingu Staff. He was shocked beyond belief.
When Yao Qiong, Canaan, Ling Yun, Hao Tian, and Su Xingyu saw it, they were all terrified and gave up on the fight with the Monster Cloud, and quickly used positioning skills to move away from Jingu Staff's attack.
Boom!
As the gigantic Jingu Staff came crashing down, Ling Yun and Hao Tian were directly smacked away. Then, the Jingu Staff struck the ground. There was a large boom, and the entire earth began to shake.
Whoosh.
At this time, the Monster Cloud suddenly became huge, and appeared before Jiang Feng's dragon claws, carrying its huge draconic body.
Ding! System Prompt: Congratulations! You have triggered the Uproar in Heaven plot quest!
Ding! System Prompt: The Monster Cloud would like to temporarily become your mount. Do you agree?
"I agree!"
After the strike, he heard two notifications from the system. He was first stunned, then he became overjoyed.
"Haha! So the Uproar in Heaven plot quest required the Ruyi Jingu Staff to activate!"
When he took out the Jingu Staff, the Monster Cloud immediately saw him as its temporary master. That meant that the plot quest would only trigger when the Monster Cloud saw the Jingu Staff.
When he thought about the details of it, the difficulty of triggering the plot quest was very brutal.
His guess was that the Jingu Staff had been within the Earthcover Dragon's body all along. For the players to find the gnomes, they need to be at least around level 70 or 80 to breakthrough the gnome's defenses and acquire the Jingu staff from the Earthcover Dragon. That would no doubt cause the difficulty to increase even more.
But because he had the Monster Transmutation System, he had obtained a lot of skills, causing him to acquire the Jingu staff earlier.
Once the Jingu Staff had appeared, the plot was actually considered to have triggered, and the Monster Cloud had appeared.
That was why it could be said that the Jingu Staff was the key item that triggered this plot.
He didn't expect that going to meet the gnomes three times and acquiring the Jingu Staff would cause the game to trigger the Uproar in Heaven plot.
"I am only the temporary master of the Monster Cloud... Perhaps Sun Wukong could be revived?" He asked himself after the initial excitement.
He actually liked the Monster Cloud a lot, especially the Monster Cloud's speed.
When it was a steed, the Monster Cloud had a bonus to movement speed. This meant that as his movement speed increased, the faster the Monster Cloud became. He can use it until the late game!
"Ah well, I should be grateful. I'm happy as long as I can use it for the short time," Jiang Feng said to himself.
"Come!"
Jiang Feng was feeling quite happy. His dragon claw grabbed tightly at the Jingu Staff and pulled it, and it instantly became small and appeared within its dragon claw.
Whoosh!
When the Jingu Staff became small, a pill flew towards him. Jiang Feng looked at it, and ate the pill, and smiled coldly at Qiu Si.
That pill was the Divine Speech Pill, allowing him to speak man's tongue within 24 hours.
Seeing that Jiang Feng had eaten the Divine Speech Pill, Yao Qiong put away the Beast Speech Pill that she was going to eat. She then appeared in front of Jiang Feng while stepping on a puff of black air.
Canaan, Qiu Si, Ling Yun, Hao Tian, and Su Xingyu had all appeared next to him, surrounding him.
Jiang Feng, who had eaten the Divine Speech Pill, scanned all six of them and waved the Jingu Staff as he asked coldly, "What is it? You don't want to let me leave?"
"I see, so in order to trigger the plot you would need the Jingu Staff!" Qiu Si looked coldly at Jiang Feng. He then questioned him, "How did you get the Jingu Staff?"
Jiang Feng's dragon mouth moved, and said, "The Jingu Staff was originally the Shifter's holy relic. As the Inheritor of the Shifters, is it not normal that I would have it?"
Without waiting for Qiu Si to continue, Yao Qiong interrupted and said, "Inheritor of the Shifters, you know how important that this plot was to our country! As long as you are willing to give it to the country..."
"Scram!" Jiang Feng looked at Yao Qiong with contempt and said, "You shouldn't keep on talking about countries and nations every single day. It made me dislike you, despite you. I have said it before, the Divines and Infernals were useless, we Shifters shall be the new rulers!"
"Not to mention that in your eyes, I am just an artificial intelligence with higher intellect only. I shall enjoy the life that the Lord God has given me. Heaven has no power over me, and I shall be the master of my own fate!"
The Divines and Infernals were useless, we Shifters shall be the new rulers!
Heaven has no power over me, and I shall be the master of my own fate!
The two sentences made Yao Qiong's heart skip a beat as the players below became thoroughly inspired by his speech!
"You are the Shifter's Inheritor, correct? If you are willing to give me the Jingu Staff and the Monster Cloud, I can fulfill all your desires. How's that?" Ling Yun stepped up and gave him a smile, preparing to use valuables to sway him.
"You can fulfill any of my desires?" Jiang Feng's eyes the size of fists narrowed.
"Yes!" Seeing that there is an effect, he was overjoyed and looked at Qiu Si and Yao Qiong proudly. But when he heard Jiang Feng's reply, he could no longer smile!
"I want this heaven to no longer cloud my eyes!"
"I want this earth to no longer bury my heart!"
I want life to understand my will, for the Divines and Infernals to disappear! I want Heaven and Earth to rotate for me!"
After he finished his final sentence, Jiang Feng waved the Jingu Staff in his claw and it once again enlarged. He slammed it on the ground and roared with grandeur!
"Can you give them to me? If you could, the Jingu Staff is here! Take it!"
The familiar quote made all of them experience a shortness of breath.
Arrogant, presumptuous, disrespectful, godless, and egocentric. Perhaps only Jiang Feng would dare to speak this way!
"Die!"
Knowing that he had been played, Ling Yun attacked Jiang Feng with the long sword in his hand.
"Such arrogance! Kill the Shifters' Inheritor!"
Seeing that Ling Yun had attacked Jiang Feng, Yao Qiong yelled out in an icy tone as a black chakram appeared in her hand and rushed towards Jiang Feng.
Canaan, Su Xingyu, Qiu Si, and Hao Tian did not hesitate and used all their weapons in hand and used their ultimate skills on Jiang Feng, hoping to kill it instantly.
"If you wish to fight! Then I will fight!"
Jiang Feng yelled out coldly and used the Jingu Staff to sweep at them.
"Roar! Dragon Howl!"
Just when the six of them dodged the Jingu Staff, a dragon howl came out from his mouth. All six entered a daze in the next moment.
Yao Qiong, Qiu Si, and Su Xingyu instantly used their skills to negate the status effect and attacked Jiang Feng.
As for Canaan, Ling Yun, and Haotian, they were slammed away when they were in a daze.
"Thousand Demons Blade!"
"Tornado!"
"Rain of Fire!"
Three ultimate attacks came towards him.
"Blink!"
At that moment, he quickly used Blink and dodged the Tornado and Rain of Fire. While he was damaged by the Thousand Demons Blade, he appeared close to Su Xingyu.
"High-Speed Movement! Violent Grab! Drain Blood!"
The Thousand Demons Blade was very concentrated and had a wide area of effect, so he was damaged and had lost one-fifth of his health. The then quickly used High-Speed Movement to appear next to Su Xingyu, a wizard, who was prepared to retreat.
He grabbed at Su Xingyu, dealing around 9,000 damage to her. She was already at Level 35 and had a set of Level 35 items, and her health was beyond 10,000. But before she could react Jiang Feng bit her shoulder, shredding it apart and drained her of all her blood, instantly killing her.
Boom! Boom!
Spurt!
Just as he had instantly killed Su Xingyu, two gunshots can be heard. Next, his back had been penetrated by two bullets and lost around 8,000 points of health.
He didn't care much about the lost health, but the bone piercing pain caused him to become enraged. He looked at Hao Tian who had made it back and shot him.
"Requiem!"
His second battlefield-control spell had been used, and Hao Tian and Ling Yun were instantly dazed.
"Tiger Roar!"
The Tiger Roar had managed to envelop both of them, causing 10,000 plus points of damage. Next, he swept them with the Jingu Staff, and both of them who had only 10,000 plus HP left were instantly killed.
"Shadow Slay!"
-8934
Canaan's form blinked and appeared from his front to his back. Under his head where his reversed scale was located, dragon blood kept on bleeding.
Canaan was an assassin, and her critical hit had almost taken 10,000 HP from him.
"Die!"
After what had happened in the past few ties, Jiang Feng no longer had any good impression left of Canaan. So he didn't stay his hand this time, and his dragon claws slammed towards her head.
Unfortunately, before he could slam at Canaan, her figure appeared further away. She had used the Assassin's mobility skill to avoid Jiang Feng's strike.
"Demon-Suppressing Heavenly-Wind Staff!"
Seeing that he didn't kill Canaan and saw that Yao Qiong and Qiu Si were approaching him, Jiang Feng didn't stay his hand. He turned the Jingu Staff slightly smaller and clashed with them in melee.
Clang! Clang!
The Jingu Staff was wielded to the point where it could create a sonic boom, and the shadows of the staff were like lightning. They clashed with Qiu Si and Canaan's weapons, causing sparks to fly everywhere.
The four of them had fought very quickly and couldn't have their attention diverted. The entire sky was their shadows as they fought. In order to prevent Qiu Si and Canaan from falling, Yao Qiong had expanded the black air underneath her to the size of a basketball court, and allowing them to fight freely in the air.
Jiang Feng was feeling quite helpless. He didn't expect the three would be so strong in melee. None of the strikes from Demon-Suppressing Heavenly-Wind Staff had hit them. If not, he could kill them in one strike.
"Soul Bound!"
After a dozen rounds, Yao Qiong quickly used her battlefield control skill on Jiang Feng when he had his back to her.
In the next moment, Jiang Feng's Demon-Suppressing Heavenly-Wind Staff had been disrupted and he entered a daze.
"Full power, now! Heavenly Demon Wheel!"
"Divine Dragon Pierce!"
"Backstab!"
Just when the three ultimate skills fell on Jiang Feng and caused him to only have a slither of life left, hundreds of lightning bolts descended from the heavens and kept on blasting at them.
"No, it's a trap!" Yao Qiong was paralyzed as she was struck by the lightning. When he looked on top of her, she was surprised when she saw the Monster Cloud had appeared on top of them.
"Blink! Tornado!"
A second later, Jiang Feng had awakened. He used Blink and reappeared further away, then used the Tornado skill that he had been saving.
In the next moment, the three of them who were still paralyzed had been dragged into the Tornado and were continuously struck by lightning when they were in the air.
In around three seconds, the three of them had been killed by the Tornado and the Monster Cloud's Baptism by the Five Thunders!

Chapter 109: Five Fingers Mountain
Silent!
Very silent!
Seeing that Jiang Feng had single-handedly killed the leaders of four guilds and two inheritors, the players who were still watching could only stare in awe.
"This... This Shifters' Inheritor is too strong!"
"The Divine Inheritor, the Infernal Inheritor, and four guild leaders couldn't stop him, who else could be his match?"
"No matter how strong it is, it is only one dragon. The Divines and the Infernals have millions of players, and we still can't deal with it with that number?"
...
As he stood on the Monster Cloud, he looked at the players who were in an uproar, he then ignored them, and was ready to leave with the Monster Cloud.
When he heard the monkeys all yelled out that the king had returned, he thought he could bring back all the monkeys from Mount Huaguo. They could be instrumental during the siege.
But when he looked at them just now, all of the monkeys were still doing whatever they were doing and continued to roam Mount Huaguo.
When he saw that, he understood. All the monkeys being so passionate about just now was but a background effect for the plot quest.
It was not possible for him to take control of all the monkeys!
Not to mention that he was not Sun Wukong. Even if he had the Jingu Staff, he wouldn't be able to command the monkeys.
...
Hm?
Only after he left Mount Huaguo and flew on the Monster Cloud for a while did he notice something was wrong.
That was because he noticed that the Monster Cloud wasn't flying on the path that he originally asked it to.
"Monster Cloud, where are you bringing me to?" Jiang Feng asked curiously.
Grumble.
The Monster Cloud made some thunderous booms that Jiang Feng could not understand.
But then he remembered something, then asked about it, "You want to bring me to find Sun Wukong?"
The tail on the Monster Cloud swayed up and down as if it was saying yes.
"I see, I must have triggered a plot. Looks like I have to follow the plot for now. I wonder what kind of interesting things will happen during the plot." He smiled as he saw the Monster Cloud's action and anticipation glint in his eyes.
Whoosh.
The Monster Cloud suddenly increased its speed and flew towards a direction.
When he was on his way there, he tried to find cities closed to the Five Fingers Mountain and teleport over.
However, to his surprise, the map mentioned that the Five Finger Mountain did not exist.
That meant that he could only find Sun Wukong if he were being led by the Monster Cloud.
Since there was nothing he could do, he coiled himself as he was on the Monster Cloud. Since he was quite free, he opened the Monster Transmutation System and went for the lottery.
As he had continuously evolved twice, he still had two lottery chances that he did not use.
"Double, start the lottery!"
He pressed the button in the middle of the lottery's spinning wheel until it showed 2, then started with the lottery.
The indicator spun quickly and stopped at the pill category. Next, a golden chest and a diamond chest appeared in front of him.
"Pills? Give me a Matter Duplication Pill and a Double Stats Pill!"
He opened the two treasure boxes with anticipation.
There was a purple pill in the golden treasure box, while there were three golden pills in the diamond treasure box
Mid-Level Enhancing Pill: It can enhance any equipment below the level of Dark-Gold.
Evolution Pill: Once consumed by a monster, it can evolve into a monster of a higher variant.
"This is the first time that I've drawn an Evolution Pill. And to have drawn 3 at one go, not bad," Jiang Feng put away the three Evolution Pills then looked at the Mid-Level Enhancing Pill. "Mid-Level Enhancing Pill. It can enhance any equipment below the level of Dark-Gold. That means that it can be used to enhance the Jingu Staff which is only at Yellow-Gold Level!"
He became excited once he thought of that and took out the Jingu Staff and used the Mid-Level Enhancing Pill.
In the next moment, the Mid-Level Enhancing Pill turned into a purple light and entered the Jingu Staff
Hum.
Next, the golden runes appeared one by one on the Jingu Staff, and there were a thousand of them in total.
Hum.
At this time, the iron rust on the surface of the Jingu Staff all fell apart and the staff became brightly golden in color.
Ding! System Prompt: Congratulations, the Jingu Staff had upgraded into a Dark-Gold Equipment.
Ruyi Jingu Staff: Dark-Gold Equipment (Weakened)
Strength 800
Attack 4000
Attack Speed 30%
20% chance of Critical Hit
20% chance of Daze
20% chance of Heavily Injuring
Passive Skill: Block: 20% chances of blocking any attacks.
Active Skill: Ruyi: Can change to any shape at will.
Consume: Can consume any weapons to strengthen the Ruyi Jingu Staff.
...
The Ruyi Staff had become even stronger after the enhancement. When he equipped the Ruyi Staff, his attack would reach around 10,500 and he was very happy with that.
Seeing that the Monster Cloud had not yet reached his destinations, he then opened the official message board and started browsing.
He noticed most of the posts that had a lot of clicks were posts about him.
Videos of him battling with Yao Qiong, Qiu Si, and Canaan and posts of the conversation between him and Ling Yun had been pinned.
And inside, there was a comment from the game company's higher-ups.
"The main reason that the game was created was to release the bloodlust that was within all players. Break your chains and do what you want. The Shifters' Inheritor had done very well in this regard and we hope that everyone will learn from him. Only when you do that can your potential be fully discovered."
What the comment meant was, "This is how the game should be played. Do what you want and do not fear powerful enemies. One should dare to kill gods and demons, and one should dare to breach the nine-layers of heavens!"
There are other players that comment on the official comment. Some were supportive, some were against.
"This is so good! I wonder if I could change factions and work under the Inheritor of the Shifters. The sentence "I want Heaven and Earth to rotate for me" is so gutsy! I'm now a fan!"
"I'm with you! As an Infernal, not only is the Infernal's Inheritor doesn't have the heart to kill, she kept on using the country to suppress this and that! She's so unlikeable! The word "infernal" is getting worse in terms of impression in my heart!"
"Both of you are idiots. So what if you're powerful in the game? You still have to follow the law when you return to reality, don't you? Since this game was called the second world, then that meant that it should have rules, you understand?"
"Identification complete. The one above me is also an idiot. He's a high-intellect NPC. What does the real world even mean to him? He's not going to understand that! He should just keep doing what he's doing and have fun in the game!"
...
After browsing for almost two hours worth of posts, he rubbed his eyes and closed the message board.
As for those comments, he only smiled and didn't retort any of them.
In the players' eyes, he was but an NPC. An NPC wouldn't join the war of keyboards.
Actually, the main reason that he said those words in front of him was to hide his identity so that everyone thought that he was just a highly intelligent A.I. Monster.
Ding! System Prompt: Congratulations on finding the hidden map, "Five Fingers Mountain." You have gained 30,000 experience points.
"We're here!"
Hearing the System's voice, he extended his head to the edge of the Monster Cloud and looked down.
"This..."
As he looked at the Five Fingers Mountain, he was shocked beyond disbelief.
Around the Five Fingers Mountain were all filled with Infernal Miasma. When he looked out, there were no other monsters other than the large crows with the harsh sounds. There wasn't even a single plant.
"This is the Five Fingers Mountain? What happened here?"
Jiang Feng said to himself with a frown as he looked at the Five-Finger Mountain.

Chapter 110: The Fairy Violetglow
Five Fingers Mountain!
During the Great Divine-Infernal War, Sun Wukong had been heavily injured by the Infernal Archmaster, and his body penetrated by the Infernal Miasma.
At that time, he was again ambushed by the Buddha, and he sealed Sun Wukong's body that had been afflicted with the Infernal Miasma under the Five Fingers Mountain.
However, as the Infernal Miasma within him was too powerful, causing the entire Five Fingers Mountain to become a desolate land.
'I never thought that the Five Fingers Mountain would look like this. There really was a great difference between how I think It would look like and what it really is!'
Jiang Feng looked at the desolated and lonesome Five Fingers Mountain that was covered by the Infernal Miasma.
Grumble.
When the Monster Cloud arrived at the Five Fingers Mountain, it became exciting and its clouds started rolling. It then headed toward the highest peak.
Spark.
Spark.
When they were flying, the Monster Cloud kept on blasting the earth with Lightning Bolts, as if celebrating the moment he would meet with his master.
"Don't worry, I will help you save your master!" He told it as he crouched down and used the Dragon Claw to softly soothe the Monster Cloud's clouds as he felt its emotion.
Whoosh.
Jiang Feng's words had made the cloud stop for a second, and it immediately increased its speed. In the blink of an eye, it had arrived at the peak of the Five Fingers Mountain.
When he was at the peak of the Five Fingers Mountain, the Monster Cloud immediately pounced towards a giant stone tablet that was several hundred meters tall and was erected at the top of the peak.
"Om, Ma, Ni, Pad, Me, Hum..."
On the stone tablet was a talisman, and the talisman had those six words written over it.
Each word was radiating golden light, and it held a great power to deter others. He couldn't even finish reading the six words before Jiang Feng felt that his head was in intense pain.
Boom!
The Monster Cloud ignored the talisman and rammed into the giant stone tablet, but the moment that it struck the talisman, a golden light struck it in return. It lost almost 300,000 HP and was almost instantly killed.
"Monster Cloud, don't do it. I'll think of a way to save your master!" Jiang Feng said to the Monster Cloud when it was going to prepare to ram into the talisman again. He was slightly shocked by his action and extended his dragon claw to hold on to it.
He didn't expect that the talisman would be so powerful. His guess was that anyone or any monster that attacked it would be counter-attacked by the talisman.
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
He heard a voice that was easy to the ear, and he quickly turned back and looked.
A beautiful woman whose looks were comparable to Mu Xi had appeared behind them. He did not notice when such a woman in purple had appeared.
Fairy Violetglow: Divine-Level NPC (Sealed)
Introduction: Ten thousand years ago, the Fairy Violetglow was the fairy that managed the Sunset in the Heavenly Court. After meeting Sun Wukong once, she fell in love with Sun Wukong. After Sun Wukong had been slain, she had then left the Heavenly Court and descended into the mortal world and had guarded Sun Wukong ever since. She had collected the Essence of the Sun and Moon, hoping to cleanse the Infernal Miasma that had contaminated Sun Wukong's remains.
As she had stayed in the Five Fingers Mountain for too long, even she herself had been contaminated by the Infernal Miasma. In order to prevent herself from spreading chaos if she were to fall and become an Infernal, she had sealed all her powers and depended on feeding on the Essence of the Sun and Moon to maintain her sanity.
HP: 500,000
Attack: 15,000-30,000
Defense: 10,000
...
After reading Fairy Violetglow's introduction, he felt that he had a lump in his throat.
What could be called true love? This was true love!
She had protected the remains of her beloved for 10,000 years because she loved her.
In order to prevent her beloved from being tainted by the Infernal Miasma, she had spent 10,000 years and cleaned her beloved's remains by collecting the Essence of the Sun and Moon every single day and night.
Who else could do this for?
Grumble.
At this moment, the Monster Cloud rushed over and came to Fairy Violetglow's side and kept on making grumbling sounds excitingly.
Fairy Violetglow was at first happy to see it. But after she looked at the Monster Cloud, she frowned and asked, "You're Xiao Yun? What happened to you?"
Grumble.
The Monster Cloud shook its body and used its tail to point at Jiang Feng.
Fairy Violetglow raised her eyebrow and looked at Jiang Feng and said, "You said that he can save Wukong?"
Grumble.
The Monster Cloud flying up and down.
"Excuse me, but is there anything I can help you with?" Seeing that the Monster Cloud and Violetglow had finished going through the plot, Jiang Feng walked up and smiled at Violetglow and asked.
"Other than the Buddha's seal on the Shifter Sealing Rock, he had also sent the Four Great Arhats to protect Wukong's remains. While I can send the Essence of the Sun and the Moon to him through Wukong's mouth, I couldn't approach him. If you want to help me save Sukong, you will need the power to at least defeat the Four Great Arhats. As long as you could save Wukong's remains, I will repay you!"
Ding! System Prompt: Will you accept the first part of the Uproar in Heaven plot, the "Defeat the Four Great Arhats" quest?
"Yes!"
Jiang Feng accepted without hesitation, then asked Violetglow. "May I know how powerful the Four Great Arhats are?"
"Each of the Great Arhats has reached Immortal-Level, and their levels are around Level 80!" Violetglow said.
Leve 80 Immortal-level NPC!
Looks like it was too early for him to trigger this plot quest. There was nothing he could do at this point. The opponent could probably kill him in one hit.
"Don't worry, I will definitely help you save Dasheng's remains. But before this, I will need to first increase my power!" Jiang Feng said.
"Alright, I shall wait for you!" Violetglow said as she walked towards the Shifter Sealing Rock said, "I will let the Monster Cloud accompany you for a while. I hope that it can give you some help!"
When she was done speaking, a blue water ball appeared on her elegant right palm. She waved her left hand, and the talisman seemed to flutter, and a hole the size of a human fist appeared under the Talisman. Next, she sent that ball of blue water into the hole.
After a while, she receded her palm. There were still three drops of water in her palm. She gave her palm a wave, and the three drops of water fell into his palm.
"These three drops of Moon Essence are for you. You can use them when you are in danger."
Jiang Feng then took the three blue water droplets and looked at them.
Moon Essence: Immortal Level
After consuming, remove all negative status effects and heal to full health. Cooldown of 10 minutes.
'This is a good item!'
Jiang Feng's eyes brimmed with excitement when he saw the stats of the Moon Essence.
The Moon Essence would no doubt bring to him great help in the siege day after tomorrow.
After putting away the Moon Essence and the Monster Cloud into the steed space, then he looked at Violetglow who stared at the Shifter Sealing Stone and said with a sigh, "If there's a woman that's willing to treat me like this, it would be worth it even if I die!"
With that, he shook his head and used the Town Portal skill to return to the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor.
Heh! Ha!
When he returned to the Ancient City, he saw the monster army that was still training. He smiled gratifyingly.
Next, he jumped into the air, and arrived at the top of the Ancient City, and began to scan the city.
After forty hours' worth of repair, the Ancient City's repairs were coming to an end. Its HP had reached a staggering amount of 10,000,000,000, similar to the HP of Imperial Dragon City's wall, and ten times higher than Myth Group's HP.
Of course, all that Myth Group needed to do was to defend against 100,000 enemies. However, he needed to defend against 500,000 and he had fewer people on his side.
"There are still thirty hours until the siege begins. I should go and farm for monsters so that I could increase my level and power for a bit. Hopefully, it would be useful during the siege!" He mumbled and glanced at the map. He eventually chose a Level 40 monster's territory in the Southern Sea as his leveling area.

Chapter 111: Evolve!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Blue Poison Frog, Level 40 monster.
Located on an island in the Southern Sea.
Shoosh!
A black cloud flew over quickly, then a dragon flew off from above to below, and landed near the several thousands of Blue Poison Frog.
Blue Poison Frog: Level 40 Monster
HP: 300,000
Attack: 9,000-11,000
Defense: 4,500
Skills: Poison Arrow
While the Blue Poison Frog's stats weren't that high, the poison arrow was extremely annoying. However, the experience points that they gave were very high.
That was the reason that Jiang Feng chose to come here for leveling.
Looking at the thousands of Blue Poison Frogs in front of him, he took out the Jingu Staff and turned it into a dragon claw. He then pounced towards them without hesitation.
...
Imperial Dragon Restaurant. Within the Imperial Dragon City.
The Inheritor of the Infernals Yao Qiong, Inheritor of the Divines Qiu Si, Canaan, Shen Ye, Ling Yun, Hao Tian, Su Xingyu, and other guild leaders all gathered together.
Yao Qiong scanned all of these powerhouses within the game and said plainly, "Now that you've seen the power of the Shifters' Inheritor, what more do you want to say?"
Shen Ye looked at Yao Qiong and the other guild leaders mockingly and said, "Hmph, did I not tell you that it's best to unite the other larger guilds and kill off the Shifters' Inheritor? But you all said that he's just an animal and didn't treat him as a threat. Haha, now you are all less than animals!"
While Shen Ye's words were quite taunting, so much so that even Qiu Si frowned as he had lost to Jiang Feng. But he had always advocated for them to kill the Shifters' Inheritor. So of course Shen Ye's taunt didn't include him. He was also Shen Ye's elder cousin, the other person that commandeered Myth Group. Shen Ye wouldn't have taunted him.
"Shen Ye, you better hold your tongue. Who are you saying that's less than animals?" Ling Yun said coldly.
"Of course, it's you. Solo or group? Are you choosing the location? You think I'm afraid of you?" Shen Ye said very arrogantly.
"You..."
"If you want to fight later, that's up to you. Currently, the most important thing is that tomorrow the Shifters' Inheritor would build his base!" Yao Qiong interrupted them in mid-sentence. "I hope that by the day after tomorrow, all your guilds elite would be there. Then, all of you shall listen to my commands and conquer the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor. We cannot allow the Ancient City to be built, or It will bring danger to us!"
"Listen to your commands? Who the hell are you?" Qiu Si said calmly, "Do not forget who you are. You are the Infernal's Inheritor. I don't care how you command the players that are with the Infernals, but those who are with the Divines will not listen to your orders. We will attack the Ancient City, but this has nothing to do with you!"
"You...I'm..." Yao Qiong said angrily.
"You? What? Don't tell me that you're from the army. Don't forget that this is not the real world, it's just a game," Qiu Si said. "The reason that the Shifters' Inheritor could have so much power today was that he wasn't bound by anything. He could do whatever he wants. That was why his growth speed would become this fast! So, stop being so innocent and bind the players with all your rules. In the end, they would all leave you!"
With that, Qiu Si stood up and said, "Myth Group will be there in the morning on the day after tomorrow. As for this politics class, I'm not attending."
Next, Qiu Si and Shen Ye both left the restaurant.
The other guild leaders all left as well, and the meeting ended in failure.
"How did it end up like this?" Yao Qiong frowned as she looked at Canaan, who was the only one left.
"Because you forgot. You forgot that they all belong to different factions. Forgot that this is just a game. Many fought in here so that they could release the pressure they had from the real world. What you did would only stress them even more, so... please remove the burdens you have and enjoy the joy that this game gave us for once." Canaan also left the room after she had finished.
Finally, Yao Qiong was the only one that was left in the room. She lowered her head and remembered what Jiang Feng told her. She then thought about what Canaan had said too. "Was I really wrong? But I didn't do anything wrong! I only wanted to help our country to win during the World War, but... I understand now. I made a mistake!"
Yao Qiong had finally understood something and left the restaurant as well.
...
Southern Sea, on an island. Jiang Feng's claw stabbed into the body of a Blue Poison Frog, killing it.
Ding! System Prompt: Congratulations on reaching Level 36. You have received 3 free attribute points.
After farming for around 8 hours, he had finally reached Level 36.
"Transmute Monster!"
Looking at the Blue Poison Frog's corpse in front of him, he used Transmute Monster on it.
Ding! System Prompt: Transmute Monster successful. Congratulations. You have received one Poison Sac, one Level 40 Experience Pills, and one Evolution Pill.
'The chances of getting Evolution Pills had increased somewhat. This was already the second one I had. Now, I have six of them!' Jiang Feng thought to himself as he looked at the Evolution Pill in his hand.
When his Luck had reached 100, the chances of him transmuting the Evolution Pill and Bloodline had increased somewhat.
Other than the six Evolution Pills that he had, he had already consumed one drop of Blue Poison Frog Bloodline. He had three more drops of Blue Poison Frog Bloodline.
One could see how high his chances of transmuting an Evolution Pill and Bloodline had become.
Compared to the past, he could only obtain an Evolution Pill or Bloodline in one or two days. By this point in time, he could transmute a few pills and drops of bloodlines in the same day.
"I should continue to farm!" He mumbled and continued to farm for experience points to increase his levels.
...
Other than the time to go have meals and rest, most of the time he was farming.
He had only stopped when it was around two hours before the beginning of the siege.
He had reached Level 38. As his Insight stat increased, the experience points he gained had also increased.
He had also transmuted two more Evolution Pills and two more drops of Bloodline.
Ding! System Prompt: There are only two more hours until the siege on the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor begins. Please get ready!
Seeing that there were only two hours left, Jiang Feng had stopped farming and returned to the Ancient City.
Once he had returned to the Ancient City, Yanhu and his underlings all came towards him.
"Boss, there are several hundred thousand of them gathered outside!" Yanhu told Jiang Feng worriedly.
"How's the training for the past few days?" Jiang Feng asked.
Heifeng said confidently, "Don't worry boss. The monsters now know how to position themselves and have learned evasion skills."
Jiang Feng nodded satisfyingly and said, "Bring all your underlings to the city gate!"
With that, he flew and landed on the gigantic city walls and looked towards the shore not too far away.
He saw that many players had already gathered. There were so many that he could only see them in dots, and that he couldn't see their end.
Looking at this, he held his claws tightly into a fist. "Everything has come down to this!"
Roar!
With a giant roar, Yanhu, Heifeng, Houwang, Manwang, Thunderclap Mantis, Haozi, Bluecloud Panther, and Double-Headed Wolf King all led a monster army and exited the gate, and prepared to form a formation outside the gate.
As the Ancient City had only one giant gate, all they needed to do was to protect this gate.
Ha!
The Thunderclap Mantis yelled out icily and took flight, leading ten thousand flying monsters, the Hundred-Flower Butterflies, and landed on the city walls.
"Yanhu, Heifeng, Houwang, Haozi... All of you, come here!"
When the monster army was all in position, he called out to all his followers.
"Boss, what is it?" Yanhu answered with a grin and the others ran towards him.
Jiang Feng looked at his underlings, and then took out eight evolution pills that he had saved through hard work from his spatial bracelet.
He waved and all eight evolution pills flew straight towards his followers.
"These Evolution Pills are rewarded to you all early. This time, whoever's team had the least losses but killed the most shall have priority in fusions and Evolution Pills. Any team that has suffered heavy losses will lose one chance of obtaining an Evolution Pill. From now on, you get Evolution Pills through meritorious placement!" Jiang Feng told the eight of his followers.
"Thank you, boss! You are always so handsome!" Yanhu said flatteringly as he munched on the Evolution Pill and swayed his tail.
"Thank you, boss! Eight Evolution Pills at one go, tsk tsk... I won't accept anyone other than you..."
"Scram!" Jiang Feng smacked Hei Feng sky high before he even finished his sentence.
"Haha..." His other followers laughed heartily.
"Evolve!"
Seeing that his eight followers had all received an Evolution Pill, he gave them his command.
Next, all eight of his followers consumed the pill and began to evolve!

Chapter 112: Slaughter!
On the walls of the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor!
Yanhu, Heifeng, and the others, all eight of them ate the Evolution Pill. All of them were instantly enveloped in fire cocoons.
From afar, it was like eight fireballs stood on the city walls.
Jiang Feng looked at Yanhu and his other followers, then he called Xiao Longnu over.
To prevent Xiao Longnu's face from being exposed and wouldn't be able to do work for him in the city, she had returned to her original White Dragon form. She coiled in the air before landing on the city wall.
Looking at Xiao Longnu, Jiang Feng took out a drop of Moon Essence and gave it to her. "This is Moon Essence. It can remove all negative status effects. Go have a try!"
After he had the Moon Essence, he never thought of using it to break her curse. He only remembered about it when he saw her, so he was prepared to let her try.
But he wasn't sure if a curse would be considered to be a negative status effect.
Xiao Longnu looked at the blue droplet in Jiang Feng's hand and looked at him thankfully. Next, her tongue rolled the Moon Essence into her mouth and her stomach.
Once she had consumed the Moon Essence, a soft blue light radiated from her, as if to cleanse her body.
Tch...
After around ten minutes had passed, a wisp of black breath came out from her mouth.
It was effective!
Jiang Feng was glad when he saw a black wisp come out from her body.
But what made him disappointed that it had only banished a little bit of the curse's power.
But once he remembered that Violetglow had spent ten thousand years feeding Sun Wukong's remains with the Essence of the Sun and Moon every day and still failed to remove the Infernal Miasma, he was comforted.
Perhaps the Infernal Miasma and the curse were both high-level negative status effects, so removing them would be more difficult, and they couldn't be removed at one go.
Seeing that Xiao Longnu's power had increased somewhat, he took out the other two drops and gave them all to Xiao Longnu without hesitation.
With her power increasing, it meant that the curse's grip on her had also loosened.
Once she had consumed all three Moon Essence and her power was stronger than Yanhu and the others, that would be fine.
"Boss, what's Sis Long doing?"
At this time, Yanhu and the others had all finished their evolution and joined them.
He looked at his eight followers and discovered that all eight of them had some changes after their evolution. The fire that blazed on Yanhu's forehead became a light golden color, Heifeng's skin began to form some purplish patterns...
But what made him even more joyful was after fusing so many boss's bloodlines, the Thunderclap Mantis finally successfully evolved, becoming a mutated existence.
Its original Bloodline ceiling was Rank 8, but now its ceiling had increased to Rank 18, equal to that of a Divine Beast. That meant that the Thunderclap Mantis could one day evolve into a Divine Beast.
"Not bad!" Seeing that the Thunderclap Mantis's stats had almost surpassed his own, Jiang Feng nodded in agreement. "Alright, the siege is almost starting. Go and organize your formations. Let's hope that this is going to be a good one!"
...
Next, Yanhu, Heifeng, Haozi, Houwang, Manwang, Thunderclap Mantis, Bluecloud Panther, Double-headed Wolf King each led an army and formed a strange formation, protecting the areas near to the Ancient City.
After spending about 20 minutes, Xiao Longnu had finally digested all three drops of Moon Essence.
Seeing that, he quickly looked at Xiao Longnu's stats.
Xiao Longnu: Level 50 Immortal Monster (Cursed)
Introduction: Transformed from a White Dragon. She was heavily injured by an Infernal General from the Infernal race and had been cursed. Her power had decreased by 10 folds. As she has consumed the Moon Essence, a part of her curse has been removed. Her powers have been restored 5 folds.
HP: 600,000
Attack: 45,000-50,000
Defense: 15,000
...
"Hm? 5 folds? So they didn't multiply it with the original stats? Or this so-called 5 folds were calculated from a base value?" Jiang Feng wondered in confusion as he looked at Xiao Longnu's stats with 5 fold of her power restored.
Before her curse was broken, her HP was 15,000, Attack was 2,500-3,700, Defense was 1,000. It could be said that it was too low. But what he did not understand was that even if her powers were restored by 5 fold, it couldn't be that high.
"My maths teacher did teach maths and not physical education. I got it wrong?" No matter how much Jiang Feng calculated it, he couldn't get the numbers to align with the so-called 5 folds. How could she become so strong?
"Roar, ha!" Xiao Longnu laughed as he looked at Jiang Feng being confused. She then explained and said, "Little Feng, the way you calculate it was wrong. What is meant by 5 fold of my power was 50% of my average power. Every 10%, the level of power was different. "
"I think I should explain it to you like this. I have the power of an adult dragon. But after I had been cursed, my power became that of a wyrmling. When the curse is slowly being broken, treat it as if I've grown older. Once I've been cursed, my power was that of a Rank 1 wyrmling. When one-fold of my curse was removed, my power would become that of a Rank 2 wyrmling. And the power difference between a Rank 1 wyrmling and Rank 2 wyrmling is more than double than that of a Rank 1 wyrmling. Understand?"
"I see."
After Xiao Longnu's explanation, he finally understood why Xiao Longnu's stats would be so low after she was cursed and became so high after 5-fold of it was removed.
This was not multiplication or addition. It was the difference in stages and ranks, and the power difference resulting from both were great.
"Thank you!" Xiao Longnu said to him gratefully after a portion of her curse had been lifted.
"You don't have to thank me. The restoration of your power would be good for me. I will depend on you during this siege." Jiang Feng said with a smile.
Originally, when he approached Xiao Longnu, he had some other motives. That was to use the Art of Yin Yang Union of Joy on her. But when he remembered that he would weaken Xiao Longnu's power, he had given up on that.
And now Xiao Longnu would obey him no matter what he asked of her. If he were to weaken Xiao Longnu, she would grow distant with him, and even leave him. At that point, her loss would be too great.
"The Art of Yin Yang Union of Joy is a very selfish skill. If only it's beneficial to both." He shook his head as he thought of it. At this time, he suddenly heard the system's voice.
Ding! System Prompt: The siege will begin in 10 minutes. Please ready yourselves.
Seeing that he had 10 more minutes before the siege would begin, he summoned the Monster Cloud and landed on it, and expanded his body to the largest possible size.
"Enlarge!"
Next, he took out the Jingu Staff and performed with it using his dragon claws for a while. Next, the Jingu Staff became unimaginably huge and stood in front of the gate to the Ancient City.
Then he flew up, his huge draconic body slithered around the Jingu Staff. Filled with splendor and murderous intent, he looked at the swarm of players.
As the sky was slowly becoming brighter, a bright red sun was slowly rising from the east.
That meant that the war shall begin soon.
"Victory or defeat, it all ends here! Come to me, players! I shall show you the power of us Shifters!" He mumbled as he looked at the rising sun and the players that were preparing to make a move.
Ding! System Prompt: The Siege will begin in 5 seconds and have a duration of 24 hours. May your defense be a success!
The siege would last 24 hours, which meant that this battle would continue for one whole day. As long as someone attacked, then he would need to defend!
5!
4!
...
1!
"Roar! Slaughter them all!"
Jiang Feng unleashed a dragon howl when it reached the final second, and he grabbed the Jingu Staff with his pair of dragon claws, and violently smashed it on the players that were heading toward him!

Chapter 113: Besieged (Part 1)
One stretch of the ocean near the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor were all ships. On the ships were countless players.
The players all came from different guilds.
While the number of players had only reached 300,000, there were still many players at the shore, standing by.
To them, attacking the Ancient City wasn't too difficult.
As the siege has a duration of 24 hours. The monsters that guarded the Ancient City could not be revived. They could easily destroy the Ancient City by simply using their advantage in numbers.
That was why most players did not treat the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor as something that they needed to treat seriously.
In one of the giant ships that could carry 2,000 players, the flag of Canaan Guild fluttered in the winds.
Han Qianqian walked toward Canaan, who was on the deck and asked, "The Siege will begin soon. Should we set sail?"
Canaan shook her head. "Since Myth Group said that they would lead the charge, then let them kill some monsters first. We can wait!"
"Big Sis, do you think Xiao Bai would be there?" Nangong Tiaotiao asked Mu Xi, who was next to her.
Because Jiang Feng had saved Nangong Tiaotiao once, she had an obsession with him. She couldn't forget him.
Mu Xi sighed and patted Nangong Tiaotiao's head and didn't say anything.
She glanced at the Ancient City, and didn't choose to join but left together with Nangong Tiaotiao.
She was someone quiet and cold and wasn't that interested in combat. The only reason that she played the game was to help Canaan in her bet. And then, she had won the bet. Canaan Guild was above Tianxia Gang in status.
And that was why she was extremely free and could choose whether to get involved in a battle or not.
Canaan glanced at Mu Xi who chose to leave and didn't say anything, then had her sight set on the direction where the Ancient City was.
...
Ling Yun stood on the deck of a shop and looked at the 100,000 strong armies assaulting the Ancient City. He laughed coldly and said, "Shen Ye was indeed quite smart. While he did say that he will lead the charge, but those who actually did the charging were all the players at the bottom of the pyramid!"
Chen Mo looked at Ling Yun, then walked over and said to him in a whisper, "Leader, I have news. I heard that the Myth Group would also build their base today!"
Ling Yun wasn't surprised at all, and replied to him with a smile, "I know. He wasn't the only one that chose to build his base today when everyone's attention was diverted to the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor. Building the base as soon as possible would allow them to face fewer enemies, and the Shifters' Inheritor wouldn't be able to meddle this time."
Chen Mo then asked, "Shall we build our base now?"
Ling Yun then said, "Of course we will. But it is not as important as being the first one or second one anymore. We will build our base after Myth Group has finished building theirs!"
...
When the leaders of the guilds were scheming against each other, Jiang Feng's battle had already begun.
"Roar! Kill them all!"
His two claws were holding the Jingu Staff and flew up into the sky to the top of the 100,000 players that were rushing over, and his Jingu Staff was violently slammed to the bottom of him.
The Jingu Staff, when it was Sun Wukong's Divine Artifact, had no area of effect skills. However, when it became gargantuan, it became the area of effect skill.
While it was quite barbaric, it was very practical.
Boom!
The Jingu Staff slammed the ground and slammed into the group of concentrated players. In the blink of an eye, thousands of players had been instantly killed.
"Hm? These players are too weak. Hoho, after their strongest had been killed by me, they still look down on me. But it's fine, I can save some effort!"
If it was players above Level 30, his normal attack couldn't kill so many in one hit. What he did not expect was that the players that Myth Group had sent were so low level.
"Tornado!"
With that, he changed the size of the Jingu Staff to something comfortable for his size and used the ultimate skill on the players.
The enlarged Jingu Staff's power was also quite great, but it drained the hunger bar very quickly. He needed to eat something after he attacked every few times or his stats would decrease.
The attack just now had sent many players into shock.
Their speed in advancement had become much slower.
"Tidal Wave!"
At this time, Xiao Longnu had also rushed over.
Next, a tornado and a tidal wave both crashed into the players, killing loads of them.
"Haha, these humans are too weak! It's like cutting vegetables, so meaningless!"
Yanhu brought a group of his Blazinghorn Tiger and rushed over. They could kill a player in about two hits, making him feel that the battle was too easy.
Ding! Server Announcement: Congratulations to Myth Group for the Guild Base's Completion. The monsters will begin the Monster Siege at 12 pm today. There will be three waves of monsters attacking the base. Other forces may join the attack. The limit on the monsters and players that may join the siege is capped at 100,000. We wish Myth Group a successful defense!
Ding! Server Announcement: Congratulations to Tianxia Gang for the Guild Base's Completion. The monsters will begin the Monster Siege at 12 pm today. There will be three waves of monsters attacking the base. Other forces may join the attack. The limit on the monsters and players that may join the siege is capped at 100,000. We wish Tianxia Gang a successful defense!
Ding! Server Announcement: Congratulations to Lingyun Pavilion for the Guild Base's Completion. The monsters will begin the Monster Siege at 12 pm today. There will be three waves of monsters attacking the base. Other forces may join the attack. The limit on the monsters and players that may join the siege is capped at 100,000. We wish Lingyun Pavilion a successful defense!
...
Just as Jiang Feng was fighting with the members from Myth Group, five server announcements were made. Myth Group, Tianxia Gang, Lingyun Pavillion, Xingyu Gang, and Tiexue Guild all had built their bases.
When Jiang Feng heard the server announcement, his eyes narrowed and he said coldly, "Good, very good. I was curious why there weren't any guilds building their bases around this time, they're all waiting for me to defend against a siege. No wonder the players from Myth Group were so weak, all the strongest players are at their bases!"
And he had to admit it was a good plan.
Building a base at this time when many of the players were being entangled by the Ancient City, that caused the number of players to attack their bases to be severely reduced. And they could also send the weaker players to attack the Ancient City and the stronger players to defend their bases.
In six hours, they would have successfully built their base and also expended the Ancient City's strength.
"Yanhu, have the army to defend the city. The few of us here would be more than enough!"
In order to stop the guilds' scheme and reduce his own losses, he wouldn't have the monster army join the battle. If the monsters died, they could not be revived.
Boss, please don't tell me you want the ten of us to attack the 100,000 strong armies?" Yanhu gulped despite already being in battle.
"That's right, the players' powers aren't that high. We could kill them instantly and they couldn't even break through our defenses. There was nothing to be afraid of!" Jiang Feng said to Yanhu as he swept the players using his Jingu Staff, and instantly killed a dozen of them.
"Alright!"
Yanhu nodded and had all the monsters concentrate near the Ancient City in order to reduce their losses and to prepare for the battle ahead.
"Everyone, hold on! Contain these players here for ten hours. Once the ten hours has passed and when the other guilds have completed their bases, the true war will start then!" Jiang Feng let out a dragon roar to remind his followers.
Then, Xiao Longnu, his eight followers, and he stood in ten locations. Any players that passed them would be slaughtered completely.
Even if many players breached through their defense, they didn't pay them much attention. The Level 40 monster army was at the back, and they couldn't breach their defenses as well, so there was no need to worry.
Not to mention that they weren't going to clean up these players, but only to contain them.
Since the battleground could only fit 500,000, the 100,000 low-level players took much of the capacity. It would be best if they could contain them until the real elites arrive.
Even when 500,000 very powerful players rushed in, only some of them might join the battle.
And this could further reduce the number of elite players entering the battleground.
Those players that didn't join the battle all looked in amazement.
"Damn, you gotta be kidding! 10 versus 100,000 and they could still handle it like it was nothing!"
"Heh, the main reason was that the players sent by Myth Group are all low-level players. Look at them, most of them are around Level 20. They couldn't even breach their defenses. How are they supposed to fight?"
"So that was what Myth Group meant by leading the charge? Find a bunch of noob players and they probably couldn't even pierce through my defense. If it was me, I could easily handle them too."
...
"Kill them all!"
After fighting for about four hours, Jiang Feng had suffered very little losses. Instead, Myth Group had lost around 40,000 out of their 100,000.
Many of the guilds that didn't attack Shen Ye and the others nor building their own bases could no longer stand idly by and do nothing. Hundreds of smaller guilds led their own army and rushed over.
"Heh, I completely forgot about these guilds. Looks like we'll need to fight first. Yanhu, have the army on the ready!" Jiang Feng roared at Yanhu when he saw the 400,000 players from the hundreds of smaller guilds rushed in. He then ignored Myth Group's army and flew toward the shores of the island where the Ancient City was at.
He was going to slay one group of them before the 400,000 armies could reach the shore and attack them!

Chapter 114: Besieged (Part 2)
His dragon body coiled at the edge of the island, his giant dragon claws were holding the Jingu Staff. His head held high as his dragon beards fluttered in the wind, and looked at the players that came forward on their ships with majesty.
There were at least ten thousand of those shops, and each of them flew flags of different colors and images. If one were to look at them from the sky, they were like ribbons of multiple colors.
They sailed very quickly, but once they saw Jiang Feng, they all slowed down!
One of the guild leaders roared at his followers that was sailing the ship. "Why did you slow down! Let's go and kill him!"
That follower said fearfully, "But he was the Shifters' Inheritor..."
"So what? There's 400,000 of us, is that not enough to kill him?"
The players who were sailing could do little. But that was the order from the higher-ups, and they could do nothing but follow it to the letter and headed quickly toward Jiang Feng.
"Roar!"
When Jiang Feng saw that the ships had reached the shore, his giant body flew up into the heavens. The Jingu Staff in his hands became gigantic and slammed at the ships that were still in the oceans.
Boom!
As the staff crashed and created waves of dozens of meters high, a globe of light appeared to protect the ships that swayed on the water. While they lost a number of HP, none of them had been overturned.
Of course, that strike caused players to have fallen into the oceans.
Boom!
In order to buy more time, Jiang Feng continually used the Jingu Staff to slam at the ships so that they couldn't get to the shores.
But it was difficult for him alone to delay ten thousand ships. Not to mention that the island was huge, and the ships that came afterward were scattered and landed at other locations.
But he did not give up and kept on attacking the ships that had lost a large number of HP.
In about twenty minutes, the ships finally began to be torn apart and destroyed and then sunk into the oceans.
There were about 300,0000 players on the island. Once the players had reached the island, a group of them went directly to the Ancient City, another group of them had surrounded Jiang Feng.
As Jiang Feng was being in the aggro radius, he couldn't fly.
Whoosh!
Tens of thousands of magical balls and skills dyed the entire sky into a prismatic painting, and they were all hurled towards him.
"Blink! Tornado!"
With a blink, he dodged all the skills that were thrown at him. Next, he used his ultimate skills. Then, his Jingu Staff turned into a dragon claw, and he thrashed into the players.
-1,234.
-641.
-466.
...
As he fought amongst the players, he had received many attacks because of his immense size.
However, his HP had reached 100,000. And he didn't pay much attention to those numbers.
"Drain Blood!"
He used his Drain Blood skill on a player acting as a tank role to restore some of his lost HP, then his dragon claw crushed him to death.
While many of the 300,000 players were just fodders, there were still many players that were quite powerful. Their levels were all above 30 and had changed their classes twice, and mane could pierce through his defense. While the damage wasn't much, but if he let them continue, they could still kill him.
Once he's killed, he would be sent back to the darkness, and only be revived after five minutes. If that was the case, his presence would be gone and might cause his followers to lose morale.
"Thunderclap Mantis!"
Seeing that there was quite a distance to cover, it was difficult for him to break through the players. Seeing that there was little he could do, he raised his head and roared at the Thunderclap Mantis.
"Kill them all!"
When the Thunderclap Mantis heard Jiang Feng calling its name, it released a low roar and led the 10,000 flying monsters towards where Jiang Feng was.
Seeing that Jiang Feng was in trouble, Xiao Longnu ignored the players from Myth Group, and rushed to his aid in fury.
"Tidal Wave!"
In a moment, Xiao Longnu had arrived on top of Jiang Feng, and an ocean wave appeared, and many of the players surrounding Jiang Feng had been instantly killed.
Even Xiao Longnu's attack at her lowest had reached 40,000. This amount of damage could not be defended against by players.
She swept at the players with her dragon tail, and another group of players was instantly slain extremely brutally.
"How dare you hurt Little Feng! You will all die!"
Xiao Longnu roared out in fury and used all her skills on the surrounding players. Any players that were caught in them were all instantly killed very viciously.
Whoosh!
At this time, the Thunderclap Mantis and his Hundred-Flower Butterflies that they led came to support them.
The Thunderclap Mantis roared at the Hundred-Flower Butterflies, and the Hundred-Flower Butterflies fluttered their winds in the air, and powder began to fall unto them.
These powders were the Hundred-Flower Butterflies' poison powder, and they could deal 500 HP worth of damage per second for a duration of 10 seconds.
As for the Thunderclap Mantis, it danced with its scythes and kept on killing as it rushed into the players.
With the help of Xiao Longnu, the Thunderclap Mantis, and the Hundred-Flower Butterflies, the pressure on him was reduced tremendously.
He summoned the Monster Cloud and jumped on it, then asked him to fly into the skies.
As he was within the aggro radius, he could not fly. So, he had to depend on the Monster Cloud to help him with that.
When he was in the air and the players couldn't reach him, he took out a few roast chicken and stuffed them into his mouth to restore his hunger. He also ate a Large Recovery Pill, restoring his HP.
Once his hunger and HP had been restored, he once again dropped himself onto the players and began the slaughter anew.
This time, he didn't put away the Monster Cloud and let it use its lightning bolt to continually bombard the players and allow it to become the first aider on the field of battle.
As soon as someone's HP would reach 0 soon, he would let the Monster Cloud bring it into the air to restore their HP.
That was because when he came down from the Monster Cloud, he had placed a lot of Large Recover Pills on it.
Any monsters that would be brought into the air could use it themselves.
The battle had suddenly become a tug of war.
Once the battle had started, eight hours had passed and it had reached the afternoon.
Jiang Feng's monster army kept on losing members. After eight hours, the Hundred-Flower Butterfly army had only 5,000 members left. The other race's army had also lost a total of around 40,000 members.
The monster army only had around 50,000 members left, but the players' numbers were not decreasing.
The entire island was filled with fresh blood, and the air was filled with the disgusting scent of blood. If they didn't disable their sense of smell, they couldn't continue the fight at all.
Ding! Server Announcement: Congratulations to Myth Group on defending their base successfully!
Ding! Server Announcement: Congratulations to Tianxia Gang on defending their base successfully!
...
Slowly but surely, the guilds that had built their base all had successfully defended their base. Once he heard of the server announcements, Jiang Feng became incredibly tense.
"Roar! Shifters, hear my command! All head to the gate, defend the Ancient City with your lives!"
With that roar of his, all the Shifters that were fighting all retreated towards the gate. He bore the responsibility of leadership, leading Xiao Longnu, the Thunderclap Mantis, and the remaining Hundred-Flower Butterflies to open a bloodied path.
After half an hour, the Shifters' army had gathered at the gate leading into the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor.
He rode the Monster Cloud and flew into the air and stared into the distance.
He saw that there ships appearing on the oceans, and above these ships was a black cloud and hundreds of people were standing on it. According to the flags on these ships, he knew that Canaan Guild, Myth Group, Tianxia Gang, Lingyun Pavilion, and other large guilds had begun their assault.
As for the hundreds on the cloud, they were the Infernal's Inheritor Yao Qiong and her followers.
"Retreat, return to the city!" At this moment, the leaders of the smaller guilds yelled out, and the players that were fighting all stopped.
Players on the battlefield all began to use the Town Portal Scrolls to leave, wanting to let the players from the larger guilds to replace them.
"Come! All those trump cards that I have been saving, I should use them now. Hopefully, I can stall them for ten hours!" Jiang Feng's unleashed an aura of ferocity as he stared at the ships on the oceans. "Roar! Go, stop them!"
While all these players had reached Level 30 plus and changed their class twice, but they had all fought for a long time and were very tied. He couldn't let them leave. Once they left, the elites from the bigger guilds would become very hard to handle in their assault.

Chapter 115: Even the Heavens Shall Tremble
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor. The sky was getting darker.
In front of the gate, monster corpses were littered everywhere as the blood flowed into rivers.
Jiang Feng looked at the players who were using the Town Portal Scrolls, and then looked at the ships that were quickly approaching, his frown was becoming intense.
"Roar! Slaughter them, stop them from using the Town Portal Scrolls!"
A dragon howl rang through the skies, and about 60,000 monsters pounced at the players that were going to teleport out and have their aggro drawn toward them so that they couldn't use the town portal scrolls.
The attackers have a cap of 500,000, and there were already 400,000 in the battleground. If the other larger groups' elite players wanted to come in, they could only send in a small number of players. That was why the players from the small guilds were all preparing to use the town portal scrolls to leave and giving their places to the players from the bigger guilds.
Unfortunately. Jiang Feng's monster army could only manage to draw the aggro of around 200,000 players. The other 200,000 had all teleported back to the cities.
That meant that there were still 300,000 places left. Once the elites were ready to come over, they would instantly fill up the 300,000 places.
The 60,000 monster army could drag the 300,000 players with the sheer amount of their HP for about five hours. But what about the remaining five hours?
The players could be sent into the battlefield without limits continuously, but his monster army did have a limit. A killed monster could not be replaced.
Seeing that the monster army was containing the 200,000 players, and the players themselves stopped attacking but kept on running everywhere. They were ready to use the Town Portal Scroll as soon as they left the aggro radius of the monsters to give their place to the elite players.
And because of that, the battle on the battlefield had stopped for a while.
For the elites of the major guilds to find their way over from the other side of the shores, they would need a dozen minutes. That meant that Jiang Feng had a dozen minutes to catch his breath.
"I alone have killed around 80,000 just now, and my level has reached the peak of Level 39. I also have around 800,000 honor points. I better go to the honor shop and see if I can exchange them for some support!"
Using this chance that he had, he looked at his stats.
His level had reached Level 39 with his experience bar filled at 99%. That meant that he could reach Level 40 as soon as he passed the bottleneck.
After killing so many players belonging to the Divine and Infernal factions, his honor points had reached 836,192.
That meant that he could exchange for things in the Honor Shop.
The moment he thought of that, he quickly opened the honor shop and checked, to see if he could find anything that was useful in this war.
Originally the honor shop only had three menus selling equipment, pills, and materials. However, they now had five menus. Originally, his honor points were too low and he couldn't enter the other two menus. But now, his honor points had reached 800,000. It seemed that he could exchange for many things.
The two menus were bloodline and specials.
When he looked at the bloodline menu, all of them were Rank 1 to Rank 10 bloodlines. These were originally for players that wanted to improve the ranks of their pets. The higher ranking the pet was, the more stats they gained when they level up.
But he wasn't interested in these bloodlines at all as he had the Monster Transmutation System.
He closed the Bloodline Menu and opened the special menu.
The items within the special menu were all special. For example, Portals, Talisman of Summoning, Talisman of Calling, Fireball Talisman... All of them were different types of talismans. Of course, he could only buy ten types of items from the special menu. The others weren't shown, and he guessed that he needed even more honor points.
After glancing at all the talismans that were available on the special menu, he chose two of them.
One of them was the talisman of summoning, and the other one was the talisman of calling.
Talisman of Summoning: May randomly summon a monster of the same race as you are that does not exceed 10 of your own levels. Duration 2 hours. Price: 100,000 Honor Points.
Talisman of Calling: May call friends or NPCs to your side. If the person refuses, the talisman is wasted. Price: 200,000 Honor Points.
He gave it a thought and used 800,000 honor points to exchange for two Talismans of Calling and four Talismans of Summoning.
"Let's try the Talisman of Summoning. Hopefully, I could summon a Level 49 Divine Beast."
With that, he used all four Talismans of Summoning.
In the next moment, four summoning circles appeared. The summoning circle radiated a soft light. In a short moment, four monsters appeared from within.
The first one was a Level 40 boss and one that he had seen many times on the 5th floor of the Cave of the Undead, the Undead General.
The second one was a Level 22 Normal monster Giant Croc.
The third one was a Level 35 Normal monster Double-Headed Wolf.
The fourth one was a Level 40 Spiritual-Level Blackwater Drake.
"Whew. Two of the Talismans of Summoning were mostly wasted. Luckily, I have managed to summon two powerful Level 40 monsters as support."
While the Giant Croc and Double-Headed Wolf were almost useless, the Undead General and the Blackwater Drake were very powerful. Their stats were higher than his, and the Blackwater Drake's stats could even be compared to Xiao Longnu and they could make a great difference.
After he had used the Talismans of Summoning, he ten looked at the two Talismans of Calling, and he prayed. "Let's hope that Violetglow and Yan Chixia would come over and help, if not it's very difficult to defend this place!"
With that, he used both the Talismans of Calling, and a message box appeared in front of him. He wrote the reason and request, then the two Talismans of Calling became a temporary Teleportation Circle.
"Please come, please come!"
His giant eyes stared at the teleportation circle and prayed.
Hum...
Just as he was praying the teleportation circle that was calling Violetglow had let out a small hum and then lost its light. Soon, it disappeared.
Violetglow wasn't willing to come.
The Talisman of Calling was wasted, meaning that he had lost 200,000 honor points for nothing!
When he gave it some more thought, only then did he understand. Violetglow still had to collect the Essence of the Sun and the Moon. Only Sun Wukong was in her eyes. Of course, she wouldn't come.
Hum...
At this time, the other teleportation circle started to have some movement. In the next moment, a middle-aged man with a bush beard appeared. Yan Chixia walked out with a smile.
"You are in some trouble, my boy?" Yan Chixia said to Jiang Feng after he walked out.
"It's a very big trouble." Jiang Feng gave him an awkward smile and pointed behind him.
"Ho!" Yan Chixia turned and looked, and saw the players that were fighting in front of the gate. He then looked at the players that were steering over from the other side of the ocean, and he was shocked, "What did you do? Why did you have so many enemies?"
"I am besieged!" Jiang Feng said.
"Hm?" Yan Chixia looked at the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor, then he looked at Jiang Feng, somewhat surprised. He said, "The Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor, you are the successor to the Shifter Emperor!"
Jiang Feng nodded. "You can understand it that way."
Yan Chixia looked at Jiang Feng and said with a sigh, "The Shifters had fallen. What you are doing is against the will of Heaven!"
"Heaven?" Jiang Feng laughed, then said with pride, "So what if it is Heaven? Does it not tremble?!"
Looking at Jiang Feng's arrogance and the fierceness coming from him, Yan Chixia was stunned and he was completely astonished.
"Haha..." And Yan Chixia laughed. "Even Heaven will tremble! Good! My boy, I have to say that I like you very much!"
Jiang Feng was overjoyed, and quickly asked, "So you are willing to aid me in the siege, Master?"
Yan Chixia asked, "Do you have enough beer?"
Jiang Feng laughed. "Definitely enough!"
Yan Chixia then took out the Red Sun Sword. "Then, what are we waiting for? Let us slaughter them! This is a very good time for me to try my newest ultimate attack that I have created!"
Jiang Feng nodded and took out his Jingu Staff. "Let's kill them all!"

Chapter 116: If the World Does Not Let Me Be Free, Then I Shall Slay the World!
"Attack!"
The roars of battle pierced the sky, and the blood-soaked the skies!
Yan Chixia threw out the Red Sun Sword and jumped onto the sword, and flew toward the edge of the island while he stood on the Red Sun Sword. He had prepared to block the first wave of enemies by the shore.
Jiang Feng violently threw his Jingu Staff toward the edge of the island, and he jumped, falling right on top of the Jingu Staff.
"Boy, take this. When you used the Dao it would become even more powerful. Your draconic body is not suitable for that."
As they flew side by side, Yan Chixia gave Jiang Feng a pill.
Not only did Yan Chixia come to help him, he even gave him an item. Jiang Feng was overjoyed and took it in his hand.
Polymorph Pill: A monster can become anyone it wants to after consuming it. Duration of 10 hours!
The effects of the Polymorph Pill were much better than his own Polymorph.
His polymorph could only create an illusion of his form from reality. But the Polymorph Pill would allow him to adjust his appearance and had a much longer duration.
"This is great! Thank you!" Jiang Feng thanked Yan Chixia then ate the Polymorph Pill.
Next, a panel appeared in front of him. It was a panel where he could adjust his appearance, and it also had a search function.
He gave it some thoughts and made his appearance slightly exaggerated so that he wouldn't expose himself.
Silver hair, bloodied eyes, smooth hair, an angled face, and wearing a white robe. His design was very handsome, very cold.
Ding! System Prompt: Save this design?
"Yes!"
Next, his giant dragon form disappeared, and he took the form of a man. He stood on his Jingu Staff wearing white, and he looked very gorgeous.
Next, Yan Chixia shot a light on his forehead using his finger.
Ding! System Prompt: Yan Chixia has extended the duration of your "Dao Dao Dao" skill temporarily to two hours.
"Er..."
He was slightly stunned and looked at him curiously. He wasn't sure why Yan Chixia was treating him that well.
Yan Chixia had seen through his thoughts, and said with a laugh, "Boy, the reason that I helped you this time is that when I am tired of being in all of this, you must reserve a residence in the Ancient City for me. Make sure that it's in a beautiful location and that you have enough beer for me."
"No problem!"
So there was a reason for Yan Chixia helping him.
Once the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor had been built, a residence could be sold up to a million. So it could be said that Yan Chixia had profited from this.
"Master, have a drink!"
Seeing that they were arriving at the island's edge, Jiang Feng remembered all the good wine that he had asked Xiao Longnu to buy for him. He didn't get to use them when they attacked Myth Group last time. He could use it at the siege this time. With that, he took out two jars of wine and gave one of it to Yan Chixia.
Yan Chixia took the jar of wine and put it by his nose to give a smell, and said loudly, "Good wine!"
Jiang Feng smiled, removed the seal on the jar, and poured it into his mouth using one hand.
With one jar already downed, he became drunk. Even his mind was getting foggy, but the feeling as if he was floating felt very good.
"Kill him!"
At this time, Shen Ye, Canaan, Qiu Si, Yao Qiong, Hao Tian, Su Xingyu, and the other large guilds had arrived on the shore.
"Slaughter them all!"
Seeing that, Jiang Feng yelled out coldly as he jumped down from his Jingu Staff. His hand grabbed towards his back, and the Jingu Staff became a sharp longsword.
Next, music began to play. The skill had its own triggerable BGM.
The music's beat was extremely quick and passionate. And in his drunken stupor, he felt that his blood was boiling.
"The Dao of the Mortals!"
As he fell onto the ground, he cried out icily as he danced with the sword in his hand, shooting out several flashes of light from his sword toward Shen Ye and the others.
Seeing that, Shen Ye quickly moved out with a mobility skill. The players that stood beside him had all been instantly killed by the lights shot out from the longsword.
The damage from the Dao Dao Dao skill was doubled during a drunken state. The 150% of base damage became 300% of base damage, meaning that his attacks had been tripled. No player, regardless of who they are, could block even one strike from him.
"Dao, Dao, Dao. Dao, Dao, Dao..."
Every time he yelled out the word Dao, several beams of light would extend from his sword. Any players that had been touched by light would instantly be disintegrated into white light and disappear.
"He's the Shifters' Inheritor! Focus fire on him!"
Shen Ye yelled at the players nearby once he had identified Jiang Feng's stats and found out who he was.
Yao Qiong, Canaan, Qiu Si, and the others heard that the man wielding the sword was the Inheritor of the Shifters, they rushed towards him after a moment of surprise.
"Cloud Piercing Shot!"
"Thousand Demons Blade!"
"Tornado!"
"Rain of Fire!"
...
"The Dao that can be understood as Dao, is not the Eternal Dao!"
Seeing that so many skills were hurling towards him, he muttered a sentence, and his form became ethereal. Each incoming attack equaled him dodging an attack, and he easily moved out of the way of the skills.
At the same time when he passed Ling Yun and Hao Tian, he instantly killed both of them in a single strike.
"How could he be this strong?!" Shen Ye was stunned as he looked at Jiang Feng who danced within the group of players.
"Have all your members attack the base! We'll hold him here!" Yao Qiong yelled towards the guild leaders as she glanced at Jiang Feng.
"Attack the base!"
"Attack the base!"
...
Canaan, Shen Ye, Su Xingyu, and the other guild leaders commanded their 300,000 strong players to assault the city.
"The Dao of the Heavens and the Dao of the Earth, the Dao of Humanity and Dao of the Sword!"
At this time, Jiang Feng cried out coldly once again. In the next moment, his figure disappeared from sight and appeared behind Yao Qiong. Several hundred swords of light attempted to surround her.
Yao Qiong became anxious when she saw that, and quickly used her mobility skill to evade them. But no matter if she ran into the skies or onto the ground, the swords of light followed her tightly and attacked her.
"Infernal Shades!"
Yao Qiong's face became pale and quickly used a skill. Several dozens of Yaoqiong's images appeared around her.
A hundred swords of light impaled them from above, killing all of Yao Qiong's phantoms.
Seeing that all her phantoms had been killed, Yao Qiong was just going to escape when she saw a pair of red eyes stab her in the chest with his sword as he looked at her with no hint of emotion.
"You are making yourself the enemy of the entire world!" Yao Qiong said to Jiang Feng after she was stabbed, her HP quickly depleted.
"So, what if I am to become an enemy of the world? I shall drink in delight when I am joyful and I shall be free and unrestrained in this mortal realm! To me, being free means that I can do whatever I want! If the world does not let me be free, then I shall slay the world! If the Divines and Infernals refuse to let me be free, then I shall slay them too!"
Slush!
With that, Jiang Feng drew the sword out from Yao Qiong's chest. The blood from her spurted out and dyed his white robe in red.
'If the world does not let me be free, then I shall slay the world!
'If the Divines and Infernals do not let me be free, then I shall slay them too!'
Canaan, who was wielding her sword appeared behind Jiang Feng. She was slightly stunned when she heard what he said and looked at him perplexingly.
However, she did not hesitate when she stabbed directly into Jiang Feng's body, and her sword pierced through his body.
Slush!
Canaan drew out her sword, bringing out a gush of fresh blood.
Jiang Feng turned and looked at the wound in his chest, and smiled coldly at Canaan with his blood-red eyes.
When she looked into Jiang Feng's blood-red eyes and the aura of resentment from him, she quivered and was completely stunned.
"Die!"
At this moment, the blade of Jiang Feng's sword slashed through her neck and ignored her. He then went towards the 300,000 players that were attacking the city.
"So strong!"
Feeling a sharp pain from her neck, Canaan could only think of those words as her body slowly limped onto the ground and disappeared into white light.

Chapter 117: Where the Sword Points, Bones Scatter for Miles
Night had descended upon the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor.
The sounds of slaughter had never ended.
A siege had caused bones to be buried across the island!
The bloodied Jiang Feng stood on the Monster Cloud and headed toward the 300,000 strong armies that were assaulting the Ancient City.
Whoosh!
The Monster Cloud's speed was very quick. In a few seconds, he appeared before the 300,000 strong armies.
At the same time, the bloodied Yan Chixia, Xiao Longnu, Blackwater Drake, Undead General, Yanhu, Heifeng, Thunderclap Mantis, Haozi, Houwang, Manwang, Bluecloud Panther and the Double-Headed Wolf King stood in front of the army of 300,000.
As for the 40,000 monster army, they were still kiting the 100,000 plus players' aggro, stopping them from leaving.
Shen Ye, Qiu Si, Su Xingyu, and the other guild leaders who were still alive were riding on their flying pets and confronted Jiang Feng together with their army.
They stared at each other, and they said nothing.
Ding! Server Announcement: Five hours left for the Siege of the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor!
"Attack!"
Once the server announcement had been made, Jiang Feng and Qiu Si had both shout out the word "Attack".
"Attack!"
"Attack!"
...
The 300,000 strong army warcry had trembled even the heavens, and they all came for Jiang Feng.
At the current stage, Jiang Feng, Yan Chixia, Xiao Longnu, and the Blackwater Drake's were the highest and could be considered as invincible.
But facing so many players, they still needed to exert much effort to kill them.
"Attack the city! Tear the city down!"
Shen Ye yelled at the army behind him then fired a shot of Meteor Arrow and struck at the gate.
All the players didn't fight with Jiang Feng and the rest of them and attacked the walls.
"Damn it!" Seeing what had happened, Jiang Feng became extremely tense and roared, "Defend the walls with your lives!"
With that, he then rode on the Monster Cloud. When he arrived on top of the wall, he then held his sword and jumped down from the top of the wall.
"The Dao of Black, the Dao of White, the Dao of Yellow, the Dao of Red. The Dao of All, t0he Dao of Things, all Dao is Dao..."
He kept on singing the words of Dao as swords of light flew down to the players that were attacking the walls down below. All that it had been, blood would flow and clear out an empty space.
But as he saw the HP of the wall began to slowly decrease, he became even more anxious, and he continuously attacked the players without limit.
"Dragon Howl, Tornado, Tiger Roar, Violent Grab, Rockfall, Bite..."
All the skills that he could use, he used them all. Several thousand players near the gate all disappeared into white light.
"Heh, there's 500,000 of us, and you want to kill us all?" Shen Ye stood on the Blazing Hawk and looked at Jiang Feng from above, who was already drowning in blood from his maddening slaughter.
"500,000? Even if it's a million, I will kill them all just the same!" Jiang Feng glared at Shen Ye with his bloodshot eyes and roared. He then jumped up, the Monster Cloud appeared under his feet, carrying him toward Shen Ye.
When Shen Ye saw that, he quickly turned tail and ran.
At this stage, Jiang Feng was already at the edge of madness. And now that his damage was three times his original value, he would die in just one strike. He naturally wanted to avoid him.
Unfortunately, the Blazing Hawk's speed was lower than the Monster Cloud, and he was chased down by Jiang Feng in a few moments.
"Haha! Kill me then! The wall has already lost half of his HP! In a little more while, the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor will be no more!" When Shen Ye saw that he couldn't escape, he then stood on the Blazing Hawk and sneered at Jiang Feng.
"So what if you are the Shifters' Inheritor? So what if you have so much power? You are not our match! Let me tell you, the Shifters do not belong on the stage in the future! They belong to the Divines and the Infernals! All of you shifters are but clowns dancing for our amusement!" Qiu Si came toward him riding on another Blazing Hawk and said to him.
Whoosh!
At this moment, Qiu Si opened a portal using the Portal item. On the Blazing Hawk, a portal opened. Yao Qiong, Canaan, Ling Tian, and Hao Tian all came out from the door of light.
"Shifters' Inheritor, as long as you obey us and give us the Ancient City, we will stop the siege immediately!" Yao Qiong stepped out from the portal.
"Give up, in less than an hour, the Ancient City would crumble. Working with us is your only and best choice!" Canaan said in agreement.
"Shifters' Inheritor, give up, and follow me. I'll bring you to conquer the world, how does that sound?" Ling Yun said and pointed toward the walls. "See, your followers are almost all dead, why are you still fighting so hard for?"
When he heard the words from Qiu Si, Yao Qiong, and the others, he turned and took a look. Only to see that Manwang was the first one to fall. His huge body was soaked in blood on the ground.
The second one was Haozi. He wasn't huge, but he was very loyal. He had never complained even once.
The third one was the Double-Headed Wolf King. It died after being struck by hundreds of skills.
"Ahaha! Boss, I'm so sorry! I've disappointed you!" As he cried, Houwang jumped up high and caught on to a player. With his last slither of life, he killed himself together with that player.
"Boss! I love you! But this time, I really can't do it anymore, I'm so tired, so tired..." Heifeng let out a howl and died after hundreds of players hacked him to death.
"Haha! Heifeng, you fool! Why don't you wait for me before you die!" Yanhu unleashed a roar and rushed toward the players that killed Heifeng, and he himself died after being struck by a dozen of magic and died on top of Heifeng's corpse.
In a short while, even the Bluecloud Panther had died.
Out of his eight followers, only the Thunderclap Mantis was left alive.
"Ah! To hell with all of you!"
Seeing that, Jiang Feng let out an angry roar and quickly controlled the Monster Cloud and headed to the corpses of his underlings and had all seven of them on the Monster Cloud.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."
A blood tear flowed down his cheeks as he touched their bodies and had them all put away into the Qiankun Gourd before they disappeared.
After he had all of seven of his followers' bodies hidden away, Jiang Feng then walked toward Yao Qiong and the others in the air, step by step. His head was lowered, his body slightly arched, dragging the longsword in his hand.
With every step he took, the Monster Cloud became larger and formed a cloud staircase, letting him walk on it.
"I was just a dog. It was the Shifter's Hierophant's sacrifice that allowed me to become the Inheritor of the Shifters. In order to become stronger, I cannibalized the monsters from my own race so that I can become stronger. I cannibalized those of the same race as I to become stronger. I must evolve. Evolve again and again. Evolve endlessly..."
As he walked, the blood on him was so thick that as they flowed down, the Monster Cloud was dyed in blood red.
"Do you know how lonely it is? Do you know how envious I am whenever I see all of you players traveling in groups?"
"Luckily, Yanhu and the others had accompanied me. If not, I wouldn't have come this far!"
The players that were fighting down there had all stopped and looked at Jiang Feng with their heads raised.
Yan Chixia could only sigh as he shook his head. Xiao Longnu's tears could not stop.
With that, he raised his head, violence radiated from his sight as he stared at Yao Qiong. Then, he roared with wrath unmatched by any others.
"That is why I have sworn that whoever has hurt my brethren, I shall have them returned by manifolds!"
As he had finished his speech, Jiang Feng became berserk. He ran toward Yao Qiong and the others on the Monster Cloud.
Ding! System Prompt: You have entered a Berserk state. Attack and Movement Speed increased by 100%.
"Those who tormented me, die!"
In the blink of an eye, he appeared before Shen Ye. His sword extended and he already passed Shen Ye. Before Shen Ye could even react, Shen Ye and the Blazinghawk had been split in half, both disappeared into white light.
"Those who cursed me, die!"
The other few all wanted to run, but he shouted out coldly and appeared next to Qiu Si, and he beheaded him with his sword.
"Those who harmed me, die!"
"Those who affronted me, die!"
"Those who betrayed me, die!"
"Those who are against me, die!"
"Die!"
"Die!"
"Die!'
...
Every time the word die appeared in his speech, he would then slay one person. Each strike would mangle them, and Yao Qiong and the rest of their bodies had all been torn apart. Slain!
When he had killed the last of them, he then rushed toward the players. He had already lost his mind and could not differentiate between virtual and reality. All he knew was but one word. Kill!
His form could no longer be distinguished as he was fully covered with blood. Only a pair of blood-colored eyes could be seen. And any place that the eyes look at would become a patch of corpses in the next moment.
Where the sword pointed, the bones scattered for miles!
When Yan Chixia looked at Jiang Feng's current condition, he could only mutter in shock. "That... That boy had created such a powerful technique during a slaughter! It's even more powerful than Dao Dao Dao! This is so frightening!"

Chapter 118: The Golden Crow Display Its Splendor, and Blood Soaked the Morning Sun
At the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor, the war continued.
The scene for Jiang Feng's kills were all extraordinarily bloody. All the players that had seen this scene that didn't lower down their graphical settings were all vomiting as they bent down.
Some of the female players were so scared by his bloody look that they no longer dared to attack the wall.
While it was just a game, many of the players lost their will when faced with intent so murderous that it breached the very heavens.
Many players were so afraid they dared not to attack the walls.
But even more, players were still fearlessly attacking the walls!
Jiang Feng continued to kill, and all those players that saw him all died by his blade.
Two hours had passed, and the wall had less than 20% HP left.
He became even angrier and used all his skills at the players that were still by the wall.
Grumble.
The Monster Cloud was making a thunderous sound, and the lightning bolts strike, instantly killing a number of players.
Xiao Longnu used her ultimate skill, a tidal wave appeared.
The Blackwater Drake used its ultimate skill. A waterspout appeared, taking thousands of players.
"Ten Thousand Swords!"
Yan Chixia's hands made a gesture, and ten thousand swords of light flew upward from the Red Sun Sword. From where one could see, the entire sky had been covered by the swords of lights, and it was very majestic.
Any players that were struck by the swords of light were instantly killed.
In the blink of an eye, a huge patch of the area around the wall had been cleared. This had greatly slowed the speed that the wall was losing HP.
Jiang Feng also took out a talisman and held it in his hand.
"Ten Thousand Swords!"
This talisman was indeed the talisman that he had obtained from the Chinese Ghost Story quest. It was pointless to save it, and he used it on a group of players that were still attacking the wall.
Whoosh!
As soon as Yan Chixia's Ten Thousand Swords had been used, ten thousand swords of lights once again. The sky was once again covered by the swords of light and headed toward the players that were attacking the wall.
In a matter of seconds, another 10,000 players had been eliminated from around the wall.
After each of them had used their ultimate skill, they had slain around 50,000 players in one strike. A large patch of the area near the wall was completely cleared.
Jiang Feng took his sword and stood in the cleared area, and looked at the army of players.
"All those who come close to the wall shall die!" He yelled out icily, and many players that were originally rushing forward stopped dead in their tracks, watching Jiang Feng with fear in their eyes.
...
"Hey, they guys in front, go! The wall is almost out of HP! Attack it! Don't let him restore the walls to full health!"
"Why don't you go! I came back after being killed the third time and lost two levels. Damn it, if the guild leader doesn't compensate me, I'm going to be done!"
"My goodness... I think it's better for you to go, big brothers. The Shifters' Inheritor is too strong!"
"Beauty, since you died so prettily earlier, why don't we add friends with each other. Once our intimacy has been maxed out we can go get a kid."
...
The army of 400,000 stopped dead in their tracks, and they were quite rowdy. Players who had died two to three times didn't dare to rush forward anymore.
At this stage, they were no different than fodders when facing Jiang Feng. If they died once they needed almost one whole day to get their levels up.
Some of them were even being funny, getting the contact details of female players next to them.
It could be said that men and women were more tender after a battle of life and death. In a short while, several thousand players managed to befriend the goddess in their eyes.
After half an hour, anyone that attacked the wall was killed by Yan Chixia, Xiao Longnu, and the Blackwater Drake.
Jiang Feng lowered his head, dragging his longsword as he stared with his bloody eyes at the army. He was like a statue, but anyone that dared to approach him, he would wave his hand and send that person back to the Respawn Point.
Ding! Server Announcement: Two hours until the siege ends.
After the server announcement had been heard, Yao Qiong and the rest once again appeared. They had been killed twice, and this was the third time that they had come.
"What are you all doing? You can't even destroy a wall after three hours? What are you still doing? Attack!"
When Shen Ye arrived on his Blazing Hawk, he roared angrily when he saw the army of 400,000 were stopped by Jiang Feng alone.
"Kill them! As long as we can destroy the Ancient City, all of the guilds will reward you according to the number of your deaths!" Qiu Si also yelled out loudly.
"Attack the city!" Ling Yun said.
"Attack the city!" Hao Tian said.
"Attack the city!" Canaan said.
...
Because of the orders of the guild leaders and Qiu Si's promised reward, all the players started to have some motivation and again, threw a bunch of skills at Jiang Feng.
"Kill!"
Jiang Feng said coldly and used his mobility skill to avoid a bunch of attacks. He then appeared within the groups of players and continued the slaughter.
Boom!
After twenty more minutes, the Ancient City's wall had finally depleted its health points, and several points along the wall had crumbled.
"The wall has fallen! Go and destroy the Shifter Emperor's Order!" Yao Qiong bellowed out excitedly when she saw that the Ancient City's wall had been broken through, she led them all into the Ancient City.
The 400,000 armies followed her and headed into the Ancient City!
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
...
Jiang Feng didn't give up and continued his slaughter.
In his madness, he had used all skills he had. He then called the Monster Cloud toward him, and with its help, brought him next to Yao Qiong. Before she could escape, she Blinked toward her, grabbed her, opened up his jaw, and bit into her neck, draining her blood.
It could be said to be extremely crazy.
But what was weird was that as Yao Qiong's blood was being drained away, his HP was slowly restored.
Not only was his HP full, but even his hunger value was also somewhat restored. Yao Qiong looked at Jiang Feng in horror, and it was at this moment that Jiang Feng's palm became a dragon claw and pierced through her abdomen.
Yao Qiong fell onto the ground with a face of terror.
Roar!
After killing Yao QIong, he dispelled his Polymorph and returned to his form of a dragon. He rushed into the ranks of the players and killed one player per bite without fail.
Chirp!
Just when Qiu Si and Canaan and the 300,000 armies reached the center of the Ancient City, the statue of the Shifter Emperor Donghuang Taiyi suddenly let out a violent cry. Next, a Golden Crow phantom that spanned a few thousand meters[1] in length flew out from it.
Flames burn on the phantom of the Golden Crow, its sharp eyes swept through the 300,000 players. It then unfurled its wings and flew directly into the army of players.
Chirp!
The phantom of the Golden Crow let out a cry and the flames on it burned even brighter. At this point, its body size had covered half of the Ancient City, and wherever it flew past the players would all turn into a white light and disappear.
In only five minutes, the 300,000 strong armies including Qiu Si and everyone else had been slain by the Golden Crow, all of them consumed by the burning flames.
The entire Ancient City was filled with burning bodies.
Chirp!
As if it had used all its powers, the Golden Crow released one final cry before the phantom turned into ashes and disappeared.
"This... is the remaining power after Donghuang Taiyi's death? This is so terrifying!"
Yan Chixia looked at the disappearing Golden Crow and he couldn't calm himself down.
Even he felt terrified by that attack. If that Golden Crow attacked him, he would probably be instantly killed as well.
When Jiang Feng saw the 300,000 armies had all been destroyed in a short while, he was stunned. But when he remembered something, he frowned.
If he had guessed it correctly, that phantom of the Golden Crow must be one of the nine Golden Crows that were flying the island.
That meant that once the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor had been successfully built, he would only have eight of them left.
...
"What... what's happening? All 300,000 of them dead?" A group of replacement players had also seen the phantom of the Golden Crow. Some of the leaders of the smaller guilds were on their flying steed, and they even saw how the army was instantly decimated.
"Leader, now that there's no one on the battlefield, should we go? A guild member on a Rank 3 flying mount asked his leader.
"Go? For what? 300,000 of them disappeared in an instant, what's the point of us going if we're just going to end up killed? Retreat!"
"Are not going to besiege it?"
"What's the point of attacking it? The 300,000 will need to queue for so long at the Respawn Point that they wouldn't be able to gather so many elite players without an hour or so. Who knows if that Shifter's Inheritor still has any more tricks in his sleeves?"
"Maybe that was the last one? We still had around 400,000 players here. Should we go at least once?"
"Damn it! Are you the group leader or I am the group leader? I said retreat, you hear me?"
...
The phantom of the Golden Crow was so shocking that the players from the smaller guilds all retreated from a fear of loss.
And in the respawn points of various cities, the players all began to be respawned one by one. But each Respawn Point could only revive ten of them. Even if the players all came from different cities, and using different Respawn Points, they could only revive a few thousand players every second.
And those players that died had to queue up to be revived. They would need two hours to revive every single last player that was killed.
Even after they were revived, they still needed time to gather them. Once they had gathered, the Ancient City had already successfully been defended.
...
Jiang Feng was worried that the replacement players from the oceans would attack again. He quickly flew into the sky and his giant draconic body appeared in the air of the Ancient City, his bloodshot eyes stared at the ships on the oceans.
Only when the ships left did he heave a sigh of relief.
But he didn't completely leave and was still protecting the ancient city from above just in case someone launched a surprise attack.
Ding! Server Announcement: Congratulations. The Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor has been successfully defended.
Chirp!
The moment that the Ancient City had been successfully defended, eight phantoms of the Golden Crow flew out from Donghuang Taiyi's statue. They then flew toward the edge of the island, and their tails extended to under the sea. In the next moment, the eight phantoms of the Golden Crow dragged the Ancient City into the skies once again.
"I've... won!"
Bang!
As the Ancient City was once again being dragged to flight by the eight phantoms of the Golden Crows, he raised his dragon head and looked to the east where the sun, as if colored by blood finally rose. He smiled, and a sense of tiredness overwhelmed him, and his giant body fell into a pool of blood.
Soon, his body disappeared as he had been forced to log out.
...
When the players that still hadn't left yet saw this, they were all shocked.
"There are eight Golden Crows! Luckily, we didn't continue the assault. We would have all been wiped out."
"Regardless, this battle would be immortalized into the history of Divine Dominion. This is so awesome! I never thought that a Shifter that only led 100,000 monsters had withstood against continuous attacks from us players!"
"Shit, I still feel my blood boiling! This is even better than watching a special effect film! This is so cool!"
...
The Battle of the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor had been recorded into the History of the Divine Dominions. Many players were discussing the battle, and some of them would even feel their blood boiling when they talked about the battle.
Weibo, the Official Message Board, and Tieba, all were filled with posts about the war. They were even more prominent than some celebrities and news.
But from now on, they all would remember the one!
The one that dared to let the world be uncomfortable through his existence alone, the Inheritor of the Shifters!!!

Chapter 119: Berserk! Slaughter! Indifference!
At the border between Qingyang City and the Slums.
A bright room within Huxin Residence.
A young man slept with a smile on his face.
But from the cold sweat, his tightened fist, and a tear down his cheek, it was like he had just fought in a great war.
This young man was Jiang Feng, who had been forced to log out after he had successfully defended in the siege.
After 24 hours of the battle that required his full attention, he felt extremely tired and needed some sleep.
Players who played Divine Dominion would all be in a state of light sleep. It was like dreaming.
It was fine if it was just a few days, but if one were to do it every day, it would harm the person in the spirit.
That was why after he played the game, Jiang Feng would log out of the game and sleep for another two or three hours.
But this time, it was different. Despite Su Qing and his dad calling him a few times, he kept saying that he was sleepy. Other than eating, he would be sleeping.
During this period, his appetite had also grown immensely. He could eat around five or six bowls of rice, and he would sleep straight after.
Only after sleeping for two whole days did he recover mentally.
But after his recovery, his eyes look a bit different. Every time Su Qing looked him in the eyes, she would quiver in shock.
There was nothing he could do, unfortunately.
When morning came, after cleaning himself up and did some exercise, he once again entered the game.
...
Once he entered the game, he appeared before the gate of the Ancient City.
He looked at the Ancient City in ruins, he then flew up into the sky and looked at the Ancient City from the air.
He saw that it was still dragged by eight Golden Crow phantoms and flew above the clouds. But the speed that they did had slowed down considerably.
When there were nine Golden Crow phantoms that pulled it, its flying speed could reach 10km per second. And now, it could only reach 9km.
"Boy, you are finally back! I thought you died!"
Suddenly, Yan Chixia came over standing on his sword. Xiao Longnu and the Thunderclap Mantis had also arrived.
Xiao Longnu came over and looked at him in worry. "Little Feng, are you alright?"
Jiang Feng shook his head, then bowed when he was in front of Yan Chixia. "Thank you for your help, Master."
"No need to thank me. I can sense that the aura of resentment on you is very thick. You should go and explore around. If not, I'm worried you will lose your mind in the next war!" Yan Chixia said to Jiang Feng.
"Losing my mind?" Jiang Feng looked at Yan Chixia with hesitation.
"Look at your eyes." Yan Chixia waved his palm, and a mirror made from swords of light appeared, and he placed it in front of Jiang Feng.
When Jiang Feng looked into the mirror, he saw that his eyes were blood red. It was as if blood could flow out, and it was extremely terrifying.
Then, as if he remembered something, he opened the system's announcement panel and looked at it.
He remembered that there were quite a few system prompts during the siege, but he couldn't remember what they were about.
Ding! System Prompt: You have entered a Berserk state. Attack and Movement Speed increased by 100%.
Ding! System Prompt: Due to your heavy resentment, you have entered a state of Slaughter. During Slaughter, your consciousness shall fall into a deep sleep and slaughter reflexively. All stats increased by 100%. Once the Slaughter state has ended, level -2 and you shall become fatigued. Duration of 48 hours.
Ding! System Prompt: Congratulations, you have reached Level 40. You have received 3 free attribute points.
Ding! System Prompt: Congratulations, you have reached Level 41. You have received 3 free attribute points.
Ding! System Prompt: Congratulations. You have awakened to the 'Consume Blood skill, receive 500 reputation points.
Ding! System Prompt: Congratulations on creating the Spiritual level skill 'Kill.' As you are the first player to have created a Spiritual Level skill, you are rewarded with 100gp, 1,000 reputation points, and one Level Up Scroll.
Ding! System Prompt: Congratulations, you have reached Level 43. You have received 3 free attribute points.[1]
...
"Um..."
After looking at the string of system prompts, he was slightly stunned. He didn't realize that he entered two states of mind. The first one was Berserk. The second one was Slaughter.
The official website had also mentioned that players could enter special states in certain situations.
What he didn't expect was that both of them would be so powerful.
Looking at the description for the Slaughter status, he finally remembered why he was feeling so down for the last two days. He was affected by the negative effects of Slaughter.
He didn't feel anything special about the Slaughter status. Since it was quite difficult to trigger both states unless he had to fight another battle as difficult as the siege again.
Consume Blood: Drain 500 points of hit points per second from a target, until it is dead. If attacked the Consume Blood skill can be interrupted. Cooldown of 5 minutes.
This was a skill that he awakened when he was draining the blood of Yao Qiong.
Awakening was for skills that were newly learned but existed within the game. Only skills that were created did not exist within the game previously but were acknowledged by the system. For example, his 'Kill' skill.
Kill: Active skill. Every time the word Kill is yelled out, you can move to a location within 10 meters. If there were enemies between the two points, damage the enemies for 150% of base damage. Can be used 9 times maximum. Can be interrupted. Cooldown 5 hours.
"This skill is so powerful, even more powerful than Dao Dao Dao! While it doesn't have as high damage as Dao Dao Dao, but every time I use the skill I could move to another location, that is the best part!" Jiang Feng became excited as he looked at his Kill skill.
"Don't get so excited yet, boy. Let me tell you something. The state after Slaughter is Indifference. Berserk, Slaughter, and Indifference. At that time, you would even kill those that are closest to you. When that moment comes, you will be more demonic than the Infernals, more coldhearted than the Divines, crueler than the Shifters." Yan Chixia told him with a frown, "You have already activated the Berserk and Slaughter states, so it's easier for you to enter those two states than others. Once you have entered the Indifference state, no one can save you. All those who are close to you will die by your sword one by one. At this point in time, you should relax and unwind yourself. At least until the colors of your eyes return to their normal color."
"Master, is it really that terrifying?" Jiang Feng said with an eyebrow raised despite being shocked.
"It's far more terrifying than what you think. I have said what I needed to say, take care of yourself. But let me tell you this. If you have really entered the Indifference state, I will kill you!" Yan Chixia told him, then left the Ancient City as he stepped on the Red Sun Sword.
"Is the Indifference state really that terrifying?" Jiang Feng mumbled as he saw Yan Chixia left. He wasn't sure why, but he was becoming curious. What would it feel like to enter an Indifference state?
By his understanding, this was just a game. There was no way that it could emulate true indifference.
"Whew. Regardless, I should save Yanhu and the others first before I do anything else."
He shook his head and was then ready to find some monsters to revive Yanhu and the others.
During the siege, he had increased to Level 43. However, because of the negative effects of the Slaughter condition, his level had fallen to 2 and currently at Level 41.
When he opened his map, he noticed that the monsters on the Ancient City's island were all above Level 50. With his current powers, killing a Level 50 monster wouldn't place much pressure on him.
After choosing a monster, he then pulled Xiao Longnu and stood on top of the Monster Cloud, and headed toward the depths of the island behind the city.

Chapter 120: Tang Sanzang
Yaodi Island, Leihu Mountain, Level 50 Lightning Tiger territory.
Lightning Tiger: Level 50 Normal Monster
HP: 380,000
Attack: 15,000 – 17,000
Defense: 6,000
Skill: Lightning
The Lightning Tigers looked like normal tigers, but they had a small horn in their forehead. Lightning could be shot out from those horns.
Jiang Feng stood on top of Monster Cloud and looked at the Lightning Tigers that roamed the Leihu Mountains.
"Since I want to revive Yanhu, I shouldn't just simply find another monster to fuse them with. I need to fuse them with something powerful and high rank, only then would they become more powerful after their revival!"
After gaining experience from reviving Heifeng that one time, he was going to prepare some high-level monsters to revive his seven followers.
And if he wanted to find something with higher ranks, then he needed to find the bosses. Because the bosses' ranks were always the highest.
With that, his giant draconic body jumped down and into Leihu Mountain.
When the Lightning Tigers on the Leihu Mountain first saw Jiang Feng, they were slightly surprised. Afterward, a dozen of those Lightning Tigers pounced towards him without hesitation.
"Looks like the Shifters were indeed lacking intelligence. Even if I had the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor under my control, I couldn't get their love. Looks like I have to focus my efforts on repairing the Donghuang Bell. Only after I repaired the Donghuang Bell could I command all the Shifters." Jiang Feng said as he sighed in his heart as he looked at the Lightning Tigers attacking him.
"How dare you?!"
Seeing a group of Lightning Tigers pouncing towards the Jiang Feng, Xiao Longnu scowled and directly attacked the Lightning Tigers.
Xiao Longnu was much more powerful than the Lightning Tigers. In but a few minutes, all of the Lightning Tigers were under her feet.
"Transmute Monster!"
Ding! System prompt: Transmute Monster Successful! Congratulations, you have received one Lightning Tiger Pelt and one Level 50 Experience Pills.
"Come, let's go find the Lightning Tiger King!" Jiang Feng said to Xiao Longnu after transmuting a Lightning Tiger. He didn't want to continue fighting them, and jumped up the Monster Cloud and headed deeper into the Leihu Mountains.
He was not interested in normal monsters as his primary aim was to find the Lightning Tiger King.
After recruiting so many bosses and killing even more bosses, it was very easy for him to know where the king of a territory was.
"Roar! Lightning Tiger King! You idiotic coward, come out!"
Correct. You provoke it, and the boss would come out because of the goading.
For players, it was much more difficult to find a boss. The main reason being that the players did not know how to speak the Tongue of the Beasts and didn't know that they could provoke the boss into action.
"Roar! Who dare challenge me in my own realm? Who wants to die?"
Just as Jiang Feng had finished goading, a tiger roar came. The Lightning Tiger King, which was slightly larger than the others, walked out from a more secretive cave within Leihu Mountain.
Other than being big, the horn on its forehead was also longer than the normal Lightning Tigers.
Once he saw the Lightning Tiger come out, he checked the Lightning Tiger King's status. It was a Rank-7 boss, then he said to Xiao Longnu, "Go, beat him up!"
Xiao Longnu's stats were similar to the Lightning Tiger King. Only after a dozen minutes did she finally defeat the Lightning Tiger King. Next, she used her tail to slap it onto the Monster Cloud.
"I hope that you won't resist, or you will die," He said to the Lightning Tiger King, and then took out Yanhu's body and placed it next to it.
"Transmute Monster, Transmute!" After he yelled out coldly, a giant cauldron fell from the sky and covered both the Lightning Tiger King and Yanhu.
Ding! System Prompt: Please choose the main monster and ingredient monster. If the transmutation succeeds, the main monster shall fuse with the ingredient monster and have its powers increased. If the transmutation fails, the main monster shall remain unchanged but the ingredient monster will disappear.
After listening to the System Prompt, he chose Yanhu's body to be the main monster.
Next, the cauldron began to spin.
Ding! System Prompt: Transmute Monster successful!
The cauldron eventually stopped spinning after a while, and a tiger with flames and a horn appeared in front of him.
"Yanhu?" Jiang Feng asked the tiger.
"Boss!" The tiger cried with tears coming out from his eyes and pounced towards Jiang Feng, holding his forelimb. "Whaah... I thought that I was done for! Thank you for reviving me, boss!"
He cried and wiped his mucus on Jiang Feng.
"Scram!"
He kicked him away, and he looked at his stats.
Yanhu was originally at Rank 6. After fusion, he had reached Rank 7, and his stats had increased a lot.
"Come, let's revive Heifeng and the others," He mumbled and looked on his map and saw that there were no other tiger monsters that were of lower levels. The boss at Leihu Mountains would only respawn tomorrow, and they couldn't win against tiger monsters of higher levels. Since there was nothing that they could do, they rode the Monster Cloud and left the Ancient City, and flew downward.
He noticed that the Ancient City moved all over the map of Huaxia. After moving to Nanhai, this time it moved towards the opposite direction. And their current location was around Dongyu City.
There were many monsters in Dongyu City. There were around a dozen types of tigers alone.
Very quickly, he found a Rank 7 Level 50 Flying Tiger.
Between Xiao Longnu and him, they beat up the Flying Tiger and took out Heifeng to fuse him.
The fusion was also very successful, and he successfully revived the funny tiger Heifeng.
Once Heifeng was revived and saw that he had grown a pair of wings, he flew up into the sky by flapping them and taunted Yanhu, and said, "Little Yan Yan, look at me! I know how to fly! Are you jealous? Do you want to kneel and worship me? Do you want me as your boss? DO you..."
Zap.
A lightning bolt shot out of the horn on Yanhu's forehead and struck at Heifeng, blasting him off the sky.
Yanhu then jumped and stepped on him, yelling out angrily, "Don't think you can call yourself boss just because you changed your appearance, you little punk!"
"Oh my Yan! Brother Yan! Boss Yan! I was wrong! You're always my boss!" Heifeng said pitifully as he looked at him with teary eyes.
"Alright, enough."
Jiang Feng looked at his two followers and took them back into the Qiankun Gourd, and then flew towards Mount Huaguo, where he would revive Houwang.
...
On a mountain peak north of Dongyu City.
Ding! System Prompt: Transmute monster failed. As the main monster has failed its fusion three times consecutively, both the main monster and ingredient monster will disappear!
He had spent half a day looking traveling between cities in order to look for a suitable monster to revive his followers.
But what made him distraught was that he ultimately only managed to revive four of his followers. The fusions of three of his followers had failed three times and disappeared.
The ones that were successfully revived were Yanhu, Heifeng, Houwang, and Haozi. The one that failed was Manwang, Bluecloud Panther, and the Double-headed Wolf King.
"Damn it, didn't you say that the main monsters wouldn't disappear? Why would they disappear after three times?!"
When he remembered how Manwang, the Bluecloud Panther, and the Double-headed Wolf King fought for him and that he could never see those three ever again, he was distraught and became even more resentful against the players from the Divine and Infernal factions.
'Just you wait, I will have my revenge!' He said in his heart as killing intent flashed in Jiang Feng's eyes and he clenched his fists.
"My lord, the aura of resentment on you is quite heavy. Why don't you come with me to study Buddhism?"
Just as he was getting furious, a voice came from behind him.
He turned and saw a very cute little monk appear behind him.
The little monk was carrying some firewood behind him and held a string of beads in his hand. He smiled at him, showing his pair of small dimples.
Curiously, he looked at the stats of the little monk in front of him.
Tang Sanzang: Level 40 Spiritual-Level NPC
Introduction: Also named Xuanzang and Tangseng. He was the reincarnation of the Golden Cicada, the eldest disciple of the Buddha. The Buddha had murdered Sun Wukong and had acted contrary to the tenets of Buddhism. The Golden Cicada was unconvinced and he had debated with the Buddha where he believed that the Buddha's action was against the teachings of Buddhism. The Buddha was greatly enraged and killed him. The Golden Cicada was reincarnated into a man. His father was killed, and his mother had thrown him down a river in a wooden basin. He was then adopted by the Chief Monk of Jinshan Temple when he found him as he flowed down the river.
HP: 600,000
Magic Attack: 30,000 – 50,000
Defense: 10,000
Skills: Diamond Sutra, Cleansing Mantra, Buddha's Light[1, Sanzang
He knew from one peak that Tang Sanzang had a focus role in support. While his stats weren't that high, his skills were very powerful.
The Diamond Sutra could increase the party's defense. The Cleansing Mantra could remove any negative status ailments on the party. Buddha's Light could heal the entire party. Sanzang could increase the party's attack.
He was like an almighty support.
'Tang Sanzang! Is this another plot quest?' Jiang Feng thought to himself as he looked at Tang Sanzang, the cute 5-year-old in front of him.
[1] T/L Note: I've checked, Buddha's Light was the full heal the violent monk was going to use back in the Chinese Ghost Story arc. Same name.

Chapter 121: Battlefield of the Divines and Infernals
As expected of the reincarnation of the Golden Cicada. There was no fear in him, even when facing a dragon like himself. Instead, he was curious.
"My lord, can you give me a bite of your dragon meat? I heard that I could grow taller after having some dragon meat." Tang Sanzang said as he extended his pudgy hand and stroked Jiang Feng's dragon claw. Because at his height, he was only as tall as his claw.
"Roar. You eat meat even when you're a monk? Don't you know who I am? Aren't you afraid that I would eat you?" Jiang Feng said to Tang Sanzang.
"Even when the meat and wine pass through my stomach, Buddha remains flowing within my heart. As per my understanding, Buddhism does not have so many restrictions. In my heart, Buddhism is bliss, and to achieve bliss I must be free. I will do whatever I want. That is Buddhism. Those proud and proper Buddhists couldn't do what they wanted to do. And is that not in itself lying?" Tang Sanzang could understand the beast tongue.
He then continued in his baby talk tone, "And you won't eat me. Because you need me!"
'Oh my. This kid's understanding of Buddhism is quite unique. That's why in mythology it is said that Tang Sanzang's understanding of Buddhism is far beyond Buddha's.'
Looking at the little Tang Sanzang in front of him, Jiang Feng smiled.
"Then, tell me. Why am I in need of you?" Asked Jiang Feng.
"I do not know. But I do know that you will ask me for something!" Tang Sanzang shook his head and said.
Jiang Feng extended his dragon head and narrowed his eyes in front of Tang Sanzang. Jiang Feng then thought to himself, 'Looks like I do have something that I need to ask of him. I wonder if this little kid can use the Cleansing Mantra to break the curse on Xiao Longnu.'
As he thought of that, he took out the Qiankun Gourd and released Xiao Longnu from within. She polymorphed into human form and walked to the front of Tang Sanzang.
"Little monk, can you help me break the curse on her?" Jiang Feng asked Tang Sanzang.
"It is difficult to break the curse. While my Cleansing Mantra can cleanse the curse little by little, it will need some time. If you are willing to let her stay by my side and give me the time I need, I will break the curse on her!" Tang Sanzang said as he stroked his chin after scanning her.
"How much time?" Asked Jiang Feng.
"At least three months!" Tang Sanzang said.
"Alright." Jiang Feng then turned to Xiao Longnu and said, "Xiao Longnu, stay by Tang Sanzang's side for the next three months and let him cleanse the curse on you. I will take this time to go to the Five Fingers Mountain and see if I can get some Moon Essence from Violetglow. If I have them, I will come to you."
"Yes," Xiao Longnu nodded.
"It is not convenient for My Lady to enter Jinshan Temple with me. Take this, and I would be able to bring you back to the temple." Seeing that Xiao Longnu had agreed, he took out a pill and gave it to her.
She accepted the pill, looked at it, and frowned. However, she took the pill in the end.
Whoosh!
In the next moment, Xiao Longnu returned to her White Dragon form. Next, she coiled within the air and fell onto the Earth. When she landed on the ground, she became a white horse.
"White Dragon Horse!" Jiang Feng exclaimed in surprise after seeing her transformation and seemingly remembered something.
"Alright, I have promised you to break the curse on her. This counts as a request from you. Now, slice me some dragon meat from you," Tang Sanzang said to Jiang Feng.
"Oh, hell no!" Jiang Feng rolled his eyes at him.
"It's fine if you don't give me some, then I won't help her return to her dragon form," Tang Sanzang said and gave him a sly smile, showing his dimples.
Jiang Feng was speechless when he heard Tang Sanzang. He did not expect a kid this small to be so smart. As expected of the reincarnation of the most intelligent Golden Cicada.
However, he would never cut a piece of meat from himself. His sense of pain was very high, it would be extremely excruciating for him to cut a piece of himself out.
Luckily, he still had the Earthcover Dragon meat that he transmuted from last time.
Helplessly, he took out a piece of Earthcover Dragon meat from his spatial bracelet and gave it to Tang Sanzang.
"Ho, I did not expect you to have Divine Dragon Meat. This is good business. Come, let us go to the mountain," Little Tang Sanzang put away the dragon meat and headed back to the mountain, shaking his buttocks. Then, he turned to Jiang Feng with a smile on his face. "My Lord, you will still request for things from me. I await the next time you come to me. Also, the aura of resentment on you is very heavy. Do not be enraged easily or there would be numerous woes afterward."
With that, Little Tang Sanzang clasped his hands together and closed his eyes as he recited a Buddhist Sutra. He looked cute, and not at all like the sly little child from a few moments before.
As he recited the sutra, a green mist began to enshroud Xiao Longnu, cleansing the curse within her body.
"Damn, this little kid who hasn't even grown up is so cocky!" Seeing Tang Sanzang leaving as he rode on Xiao Longnu, Jiang Feng rolled his eyes.
But at the same time, he knew that Tang Sanzang was not a plot quest. If not, he would have triggered it just now.
After letting Xiao Longnu stay by Tang Sanzang's side, he then rode on the Monster Cloud and headed toward the Five Fingers Mountain.
Disappointingly, Violetglow completely ignored him and would not give him any Moon Essence.
'Looks like Xiao Longnu will have to remain by Tang Sanzang's side for the time being. I hope I can find some Divine Dragon Blood to break the curse on her,' Jiang Feng thought to himself as he fruitlessly left the Five Fingers Mountain by riding on the Monster Cloud.
Even though Xiao Longnu had been cursed, her power was still not considered weak and she could help him with some of his problems.
However, he had also hoped that Xiao Longnu could have her curse broken so that she could return to her previous state, being at the peak of the Immortal Level. Then, she would be able to help him with the Uproar in the Heaven plot quest.
"I should find the remaining Donghuang Bell fragments, and transmute some more evolution pills as well as finding more Divine Dragon blood."
With his followers revived and him obtaining the Ancient City, he needed to increase his power at this stage and find the other Donghuang Bell fragments.
Once players had reached level 30, they could change their class a second time. After this class change, all their stats would be increased by 30%. As players could easily find equipment, once a player had reached level 40 and gotten a set of White-Silver Equipment or higher, their stats would surpass his.
If he were to stop fusing or evolving, his power would not grow. Unlike the players, their power could continuously grow as long as they level up.
In order to find the Donghuang Bell fragments, he would need to use the Divine Fate Compass.
With that in mind, he took out the Divine Fate Compass and was ready to use it to find the Donghuang Bell fragments.
"Treasure Hunt!" After he took out the compass, he then used the Treasure Hunt ability.
Next, the Divine Fate Compass began to turn, and Shen Luo's image soon began to appear on the compass.
"Master, please tell me the kind of treasures that you seek, or we can seek one randomly!" Shen Luo said.
"Donghuang Bell fragments!"
"Alright!"
Shen Luo closed her eyes and sat with her legs crossed on the Divine Fate Compass.
Buzz.
The compass rotated and the runes on it floated upward, shooting out in all directions after turning into rays of light.
Not long after, Shen Luo opened her eyes and said to Jiang Feng, "There are three Donghuang Bell fragments nearby. One is near Sun Wukong's body at the Five Fingers Mountain, its coordinate is 4523.9341. The other two are located around 50km to the west of the Five Fingers Mountain, at the Battlefield of the Divines and Infernals. Their coordinates are 124243.3533 and 4232.04312."
"Battlefield of the Divines and Infernals?" Jiang Feng was slightly surprised and quickly opened the map to have a look.
Only to see that there was no "Battlefield of the Divines and Infernals" on the map. That meant that like the Five Fingers Mountain, it was located in a special area. It could only be accessed if someone were to lead him.
'I won't be able to grab the fragment near Sun Wukong's body for now. If that's the case, I should go to the Battlefield of the Divines and Infernals. Since it's called the Battlefield of the Divines and Infernals, that must be the place where they had a great conflict ten thousand years ago. Perhaps, there are even some treasures inside!' With that in mind, he immediately put away the Divine Fate Compass and headed to the West as he rode on the Monster Cloud.
Since Shen Luo had given him the coordinates, that meant that he might be able to find the entrance to the Battlefield of the Divines and Infernals. As he thought of the existence of treasures within the battlefield, and perhaps even primordial artifacts, he became extremely giddy.

Chapter 122: Dragon Horn
Fifty kilometres away from the Five Fingers Mountain.
There existed a large gorge that was seemingly created from the slash of a sharp weapon, and it was called the Boneyard Abyss.
A thick layer of Infernal Miasma existed near and within the Boneyard Abyss, and all the monsters around here had become Infernals. As such, they were no longer considered part of the Shifters, but part of the Infernals.
"Phew. I wonder where the entrance to the Battlefield of the Divines and Infernals could be?"
Jiang Feng searched multiple times near the Boneyard Abyss while riding the Monster Cloud but still could not find the Battlefield of the Divines and Infernals.
He had even taken a look at the Abyss, but the moment he stepped in he was instantly thrown out by a bunch of high-level monsters.
"Don't tell me it's really in the depths of the Abyss? The monsters in the depths are all above level 60, if I enter now I would be killed," he said with a frown as he was flying above the Boneyard Abyss, looking down at the Boneyard Abyss that was covered by the Infernal Miasma.
"Hm?" At this time, he suddenly saw an old man through the Infernal Miasma, taking some paper money and food and walking to the side of the Boneyard Abyss. After he placed the food there, he threw the paper money into the air. As he mumbled, there was sorrow in his face, and he would even wipe off the tears from his face every once in a while.
Seeing that, Jiang Feng put away the Monster Cloud and flew on top of a black cloud above the old man. He then slowly descended and turned into human form, and walked toward the old man.
Old Lumberjack: Level 20 NPC
'Hm? His power is so low and he's not a player, why has he not turned into an Infernal after staying within the Infernal Miasma for so long?'
Within the game, other than players, all NPCs and Monsters would turn into an Infernal once they had been corrupted by the Infernal Miasma. Seeing that the Old Lumberjack had not been corrupted and his power was so weak, it was either that he was a Quest NPC, or he had a treasure on him that was able to suppress the Infernal Miasma.
"Uncle, what are you doing here?" Jiang Feng, in his human form, approached the Old Lumberjack with a smile.
"Oh? You are?"
The Old Lumberjack was shocked when he saw him having silver hair and bloody eyes, but heaved a sigh of relief when he could not sense the Infernal Miasma from him.
After he had used the pill from Yan Chixia, anytime he polymorphed he would automatically use that appearance by default.
"I heard that there is a place called the Battlefield of the Divines and Infernals near the Boneyard Abyss. However, I couldn't find it despite looking for it continuously. Uncle, do you know where it is?" Jiang Feng asked him with a smile.
"Battlefield of the Divines and Infernals? I've never heard of it." The Old Lumberjack shook his head. However, he seemingly remembered something when he saw Jiang Feng and grabbed his hand excitedly. "Young warrior, I can see that you are quite skilled. I wonder if you could help me bring back my son's body. If you bring his body back, I will repay your kindness."
After hearing the first part of the Old Lumberjack's sentence, Jiang Feng was slightly disappointed. However, when he heard the second part of his sentence, his eyes beamed. He knew that it was a quest, and quite possibly a clue to find the Battlefield of the Divines and Infernals.
Ding. System Prompt: Will you accept the "Return the corpse of the Old Lumberjack's Son from the Boneyard Abyss" Quest?
"Accept!"
Just as he expected, this was indeed a quest.
After he had accepted the quest, he jumped into the Boneyard Abyss. After descending for a while, he summoned the Monster Cloud and rushed downward. In order to prevent himself from being targeted by the monsters in the Boneyard Abyss, he used his Hide skill and hid himself.
"Roar! Roar!"
After he had entered the depths of the Boneyard Abyss, there were echoes of the roars of monsters coming from everywhere.
He arrived at the depths of the Boneyard Abyss after two to three minutes.
He was not sure why, but the Infernal Miasma at the depths of the Boneyard Abyss was not that dense. It was as if it was being filtered by an invisible force.
It was huge at the depths of the Boneyard Abyss. There were human bones scattered on the ground.
"Transmute Monster, Transmute."
After revealing himself, he used Transmute Monster on the remains.
Ding. System Prompt: Transmute Monster failed. Target cannot be transmuted.
After hearing the system prompt, he shook his head weakly and said, "Looks like these bones are just decorations and doodads."
Remembering the location where the Old Lumberjack was placing his offerings, he then looked around for the body of the Old Lumberjack's son.
But what made him feel strange was that he could not find the body anywhere.
'Why isn't it here? Has it been eaten by the monsters?' Jiang Feng thought to himself curiously but quickly shook his head. 'Impossible, the Old Lumberjack's son should be a quest item. It's impossible for it to not exist. Maybe this quest is not that straightforward.'
"Kill!"
At this moment, he heard a deep roar coming from afar.
Once he heard this voice, he quickly went toward it by riding on the Monster Cloud.
While the voice was very clear, it made him doubt himself when he could not find the owner of the voice.
However, he noticed something strange. At the depths of the Boneyard Abyss, there were no monsters other than the bones and corpses. The monsters were all in the Infernal Miasma or on the cliffs next to the abyss.
"Kill!"
After flying for a while, he finally found the source of the voice.
He saw that there was a cave and the voice came from within the cave.
In front of the cave, there was a stone tablet. On the tablet, there were large words written on it: Battlefield of the Divines and Infernals.
"So this quest was the key to guide me to the Battlefield of the Divines and Infernals!"
He was overjoyed when he found the Battlefield of the Divines and Infernals, and he quickly ran inside with a torch.
Whoosh!
-15,034.
As soon as he entered the cave, a whoosh came from next to him. Next, he felt intense pain coming from his shoulder as blood flowed.
He used High-Speed Movement to move to the side, and looked toward the spot where he was.
He saw a man, overflowing with Infernal Miasma, holding a hatchet with bloodshot eyes, rushing toward him.
Lumberjack's Son: Level 50 Infernalized Human
HP: 500,000
Attack: 20,000-22,000
Defense: 8,000
Skills: Chop
"So this is where the Old Lumberjack's son is, but he's become corrupted and Infernalized. I guess I have to deal with you first!" Jiang Feng said as he took out the Jingu Staff, and attacked toward the Old Lumberjack's Son.
As the Old Lumberjack's Son had been thoroughly Infernalized and lost all his abilities to reason, his attacks were without discipline and he was no match for him.
However, he had a lot of HP. Only after battling for about twelve minutes did he finally kill him.
At his moment of death, the Infernal Miasma flowed out from his body and he had his sentience restored.
"Thank you... for saving me!" The Old Lumberjack's son said to Jiang Feng weakly and with gratitude.
"It's nothing. Your father asked me to look for you, but when I found you, you were already infernalized. So, I did what I have to ..."
"I understand, bring me back. Tell my father that he has to live. Also, I found this map by accident, give it to..."
The Old Lumberjack's son took out a piece of the map and gave it to Jiang Feng, but he died before he could finish his sentence.
He put away the Old Lumberjack's son's body and then opened the map.
Map of the Battlefield of the Divines and Infernals: It records where the conflicts are and the ruins within the Battlefield of the Divines and Infernals.
On this map, not only was there the geography of the Battlefield of the Divines and Infernals, the minimum level required to enter some of the ruins was also recorded.
He found the locations of the two Donghuang Bell fragments from the map.
However, the locations were all extremely dangerous. All of them were Undead monsters, and their levels were in the 80s. He was no match for them.
"Doesn't matter. I'll just go in and take the Donghuang Bell fragments. Since I'm not attacking any monsters, I should be fine if I'm careful. Even if I die, I'll lose one level at the most."
With that in mind, he entered the Battlefield of the Divine and Infernal with the map in hand.
However, just as he had taken a few steps, a light array shone under him. In the next moment, he had appeared in a desolate place. A sour, rotting odor filled the air.
The sky of the Battlefield of the Divine and Infernal was dark, and a blood-red full moon hung in the sky as it shone on the entire Battlefield of the Divine and Infernal. It caused the entire Battlefield of the Divine and Infernal to be covered with a shade of blood-red.
Because of the bloody moon, he could see his surroundings clearly. In front of him were giant dragon bones dozens of meters long. It should be the remains of a Divine Dragon.
"I wonder if I could transmute the remains within the Battlefield of the Divine and Infernal!"
With that, he used Transmute Monster on the Dragon bones.
"Transmute!"
Whoosh.
In the next moment, a fire that extended all across appeared and enveloped the dragon bones. The transmutation had begun.
With the help of the flames, he could see his surroundings even clearer.
His face paled when he saw the Undead monsters and spirits around the dragon bone that were all fierce-looking and around level 80.
Ding. System Prompt: Monster Transmutation successful. As most of the Immortal Dragon Bones had been corroded, you received an Immortal Dragon Horn.
Dragon Horn: Immortal level. A support ingredient used in forging and alchemy.
"Transmutation is possible here!" He muttered to himself excitedly as he heard the system's voice and saw that the giant dragon bone had disappeared. But what made him disappointed was that the remains were that of an Immortal level dragon and not a Divine Dragon.
"If all the corpses and remains here can be transmuted, then this would be a treasure trove!"
With this thought in mind, he used his Hide skill and avoided the Undead monsters and spirits, and headed toward the coordinates of the Donghuang Bell fragments while paying attention to the surrounding corpses and bones.

Chapter 123: A Hidden Path
Underneath a dilapidated Ancient Fortress within the Battlefield of the Divine and Infernal, was a secret room.
Within that secret room was a blood pool with the word "Infernal" carved within. Inside the pool was a naked, beautiful woman.
Whoosh.
At this moment, a teleportation circle at the corner of the secret room shone. A woman in a black dress wearing a black veil appeared.
Behind the woman with the black dress was a dreadful old woman.
If Jiang Feng were here, he would definitely recognize who the woman was.
It was indeed the Inheritor of the Infernals, Yao Qiong, and the old woman next to her was an Infernal Queen.
"Grandma Yesha, why did you bring me here?" Yao Qiong asked the old woman by her side.
"After the Great Divine-Infernal War, there is only one Infernal Archmaster that survived. That is Archmaster Moji," Yesha pointed to the beautiful woman within the blood pool. "That is Archmaster Moji, but she was severely wounded and her powers are sealed. You must find a way to heal her and unseal her power."
"Then, how should I heal her and unseal her power?" Yao Qiong asked.
"When you kill a human or Shifter, you can obtain their souls. Use their souls to nurture the Archmaster Moji. As for unsealing her, you will need the blood of Buddha's disciple!" Said Yesha.
"The blood of Buddha's disciple?" Yao Qiong asked in a surprised tone.
If one could become the disciple of Buddha, then his power level would be very high. She would not be able to defeat him.
"Do not worry. I have news that ten thousand years ago, the eldest of his disciples reincarnated and become a monk at Jinshan Temple. He is not as powerful. When the time comes, kill him and take the blood from his body. Ah, yes. Bring his flesh as well. It is very nourishing," Grandma Yesha smiled creepily, and made her already ugly appearance even more terrible.
"I understand." Yao Qiong nodded.
Grandma Yesha then led her out of the secret room near the ancient fortress.
Near the ancient fortress, Jiang Feng had dodged many Undead monsters and spirits. He had tracked down the coordinates of the Donghuang Bell fragments given by Shen Luo and found the ancient fortress in front of him.
On his way there, he had transmuted several skeletal remains. Unfortunately, these remains were not of high levels, and most of them were at the Spiritual Level or Immortal Level. He did not even find any Divine Level remains.
According to the map that he had, he noticed that he was but at the outer rim of the Battlefield of the Divines and Infernals. His guess was that the remains of the powerful beings should be at the inner rim of the Battlefield.
That wasn't the only thing that he had noted. He had also noticed that there was not any equipment on the Battlefield for whatever reason. There were not even any fragments left. Jiang Feng could only respond with speechlessness as his original plans of getting a few Divine Artifacts were foiled.
"There is one fragment outside the Ancient Fortress and another inside. I should find the one outside, then enter!" He shook his head, trying not to think about the missing equipment. He then took out the Divine Fate Compass and looked at the locations of the two Donghuang Bell fragments and carefully approached the Ancient Fortress.
Near the Ancient Fortress, there was a giant crater.
As he looked down from the Monster Cloud, it felt as if the crater was created from the fist of a giant aiming at the ground.
In the crater, there was a lot of white dust. His guess was that the dust was bone ashes. And the owner of the fist must have punched them into ashes.
He could not transmute anything from the bone ashes. After using his Hide skill, he carefully descended from the air.
He had been extremely cautious ever since he entered the Battlefield of the Divines and Infernals since any monster here could easily kill him in a second. He had to be.
He descended into the crater and there were not any monsters in it. There was only a hole around half a meter in diameter.
'Looks like this hole was created when the Donghuang Bell fragment crashed. Let's take a look inside!' With that in mind, he had Haozi out from the Qiankun Gourd.
Haozi was a Crimson Gold Rat King. After his resurrection, he had obtained the ability of a Tunneling Rat. That was why his current power was not any weaker, and he even had the basic ability to burrow.
Haozi's size was similar to a small calf. Once he appeared and received Jiang Feng's order, he then began to dig following the hole. Jiang Feng followed behind him.
After twelves minutes, he still could not find the fragment and he began to doubt himself. "Could the coordinates be wrong?"
Crack!
Just when he was beginning to doubt himself, he could hear something crack and a beam of light appeared in front of him.
He quickly looked at the source of the sound and saw that Haozi had dug into a sealed cavern.
He quickly entered the cavern and looked around.
The cavern was not very large, only around ten meters square. In the middle of the cavern was a humanoid skeletal figure sitting with its legs crossed. The light came from a piece of mirror that it was holding. Next to the entrance to the cavern was a metal piece the size of a human fist with strange runes carved into it. It was indeed the Donghuang Bell fragment.
Seeing the Donghuang Bell fragment, he was ecstatic. He quickly put the fragment away into the Qiankun Gourd.
After taking the Donghuang Bell fragment, he used Identify on the corpse and the mirror that was releasing beams of light.
Divine King Yulong: After being heavily injured by an infernal king, he escaped into this cavern. Due to his serious injuries, he died within the cavern.
Kunlun Mirror Fragment: One of ten Primordial Divine Artifacts.
"Just as I thought, it's a fragment of the Kunlun Mirror," Jiang Feng said excitedly as he looked at the piece of a mirror within the body of Divine King Yulong.
He quickly went forward and took the Kunlun Mirror fragment into his hand, then he continued to light the cavern using it. He then used Transmute Monster on the body of Divine King Yulong.
Ding. System Prompt: Monster Transmutation Successful. Congratulations, you have gained one bottle of Divine Dragon Blood and one Map.
"Divine Dragon Blood!"
After hearing the system prompt, he almost jumped in excitement. He quickly took out the bottle of Divine Dragon Blood and the map.
Divine Dragon Blood: Bloodline (3 Drops)
After being consumed by a pet or monster, it could increase its bloodline value or bloodline purity. Has a chance of increasing a pet's rank.
Map of the Heavenly Palace: The map of the Heavenly Palace.
"There are only three drops?" It disappointed him as he saw only three drops of Divine Dragon Blood in the bottle.
Originally, he thought there would be more Divine Dragon Blood in the bottle. If that were the case, once he leave the Battlefield, he could then break the curse on Xiao Longnu.
"I don't have any more Evolution Pills on myself either. I better save this one then. Hopefully, I can find more Divine Dragon Blood," He sighed as he shook his head weakly and put away the Divine Dragon Blood. He then looked at the map of the Divine Palace.
Under the light of the Kunlun Mirror fragment, he scanned the map in front of him.
After looking for a while, he was very surprised. "No wonder the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor had never collided with the Heavenly Palace, it exists in another dimension in the sky."
"It doesn't matter, it's not something that I should consider now. I'll wait until I'm a Divine Beast!" He put away the map as he rolled his eyes.
After putting away the map of the Heavenly Palace, a thought arose in his mind, 'The Yulong Divine Dragon that I just transmuted should be one of the Divines from the Heavenly Palace. If not, he would not have the map to the Heavenly Palace. The reason that he had the Divine Dragon Blood should be because he was an Immortal Dragon steed, and the Divine Dragon Blood was used to nurture him."
Boom!
"Boss, there's a hidden switch here!"
Just as he was about to leave and was ready to put away Haozi, Haozi's claw suddenly extended into the wall of the cavern. Next, the cavern shook and a stone door was opened up.
He then saw a path appear before him.
"Perhaps there's another cavern at the end of this path. Maybe there's more treasure there too!" Jiang Feng said cheerfully as he looked at the path in front of him. After praising Haozi, he then walked toward the path.

Chapter 124: Archmaster Moji
Whoosh! Whoosh!
As soon as he entered the path, flames sprouted out from the braziers within the path, lighting up the entire path.
"Hm? This doesn't look like it's heading to a cavern. It looks like a path heading to the Ancient Fortress..."
Before entering the path he could only see darkness leading into a path. He thought it was heading into a cavern, but what he did not expect was that the path was actually heading toward the undergrounds of the Ancient Fortress.
"I wonder where this path would lead to?" He mumbled to himself as he put aside Haozi and continued onward.
The path was very long, and other than the braziers on the walls there was nothing else.
After walking for a while, he finally reached the end.
At the end of the path was a staircase leading upward, and he followed the staircase and headed up. At the end of the staircase was a trapdoor.
Creak...
He pushed open the trapdoor, and a heatwave blasted outward and almost pushed Jiang Feng off the stairs.
Enduring the heat, he walked past the trapdoor and entered a secret room.
The secret room was quite large, surrounded by dragon heads that shot out flames. Some of the dragon heads were already broken, but they still continued gushing forth fire into the room.
In the middle of the secret room was a giant alchemical furnace, and it was being burned by the flames until it was red in color. He was not sure if there were still any pills in it.
He turned and looked, and he realized that the place that he came in from was hidden under a large praying mat. It was very well hidden.
He wondered if the Ancient Fortress belonged to the Divines or the Infernals.
But he could now confirm that the path was leading into the Ancient Fortress that he saw earlier.
The reason being he had quickly checked the map, and his current location showed that he was indeed within the Ancient Fortress.
"It doesn't matter if it belongs to either the Divines or the Infernals. I should take a look to see if there are any treasures here."
With that, he used Identify on the alchemical furnace in the middle of the room.
Teleportation Cauldron: Divine Level
Introduction: This cauldron was created by Taishang Laojun during the Great Divine-Infernal War. Its main purpose was to support the soldiers of the Divines and to protect their rear when they retreat. In order to prevent it from being used by the Infernals after the Great Divine-Infernal War, the Teleportation Circle within is randomized and can be used to teleport to any location.
Randomized Teleportation Circle: May randomly teleport to any location within the game. Uses 10,000gp each time it is used.
Returning: After using it, its master can choose to repossess the Teleportation Cauldron.
"Um... I thought that it's an alchemical cauldron, but I never would have guessed that it's a teleportation circle camouflaged as an alchemical cauldron!"
After seeing the cauldron's stats, he summoned the Monster Cloud, transformed the Jingu Staff into a hook and lifted the cauldron's lid curiously.
Whoosh!
The moment the cauldron was opened, a blazing fire blasted out. Luckily, he was prepared. The moment the flames erupted, the Jingu staff became a shield and blocked the flames.
After the flames were extinguished, he looked into the Teleportation Cauldron.
Indeed, there was a teleportation circle within the cauldron. It was even larger than the teleportation cauldron in the city.
"While it's a bit useless, it is still a Divine-Level cauldron. I'll keep it, maybe I'll have a use for it later!" He mumbled to himself as he looked at the Teleportation Cauldron, then he dripped a drop of blood on it so that the Teleportation Cauldron would recognize him as its master.
Luckily, the Teleportation Cauldron's master was not Taishang Laojun, or perhaps he had died, and that allowed him to become the new master of the Teleportation Cauldron.
Whoosh!
The moment he became the Teleportation Cauldron's master, it shrunk into the size of his palm and flew on his palm.
"Receive!"
He took out the Qiankun Gourd and immediately took in the Teleportation Cauldron.
After taking the Teleportation Cauldron, he looked around the room. Seeing that there was nothing else, he left the room and appeared in a long corridor. Following the other Donghuang Bell fragment's location, he headed toward that direction.
There were many rooms along the corridor, and the fragment was in one of these rooms.
After searching through all the rooms, he did not find anything interesting.
Only when he arrived at the room where the fragment was at, he discovered something.
"The fragment is supposed to be here in this room, but why can't I find it? Are the coordinates wrong again?" He doubted himself when he found nothing but some daily supplies.
"Haozi, come out! See if there are any hidden switches in this room!"
He would summon Haozi in all the rooms before this to look for hidden switches so that he would not miss any treasures. He did not make an exception this time and had Haozi search for any hidden switches.
"Boss, I found it!"
Rumble...
It did not take long for Haozi to find a hidden switch and trigger it, and he saw the ruined bed in the room begin to move. In just a short moment, a new path was revealed.
"Good one!" Jiang Feng praised Haozi cheerfully when he saw this. He then put him away and headed into the pathway.
The path was very long and headed straight to the deepest part of the Ancient Fortress.
After a long time, he appeared in a large secret room.
There were many rooms connected to the secret room, and there was even one teleportation circle. What surprised him the most was that in the secret room, a naked, beautiful woman was lying in a pool of blood with the word Infernal caved within it as she absorbed the blood within the blood pool.
Looking at the perfect figure of that woman, Jiang Feng gulped as he immediately used Identify on her.
Archmaster Moji: Infernal Archmaster (Severely Injured, Sealed, Deep Slumber)
Introduction: Archmaster Moji is an Infernal Archmaster. During the great war ten thousand years ago, she was injured by a Divine Archmaster who sealed the Infernal Miasma within her, causing her to fall into a deep slumber. The Infernal Army that was previously sealed by the Qiankun Gourd found her recently and began to heal her.
Stats: ???
"Sh*t. An Infernal Archmaster!" He mumbled in shock as he walked next to the blood pool, and looked at the sleeping Archmaster Moji.
As the game continued to develop, he began to understand the hierarchy for the Divines, Infernals, and Shifters.
The Divines were categorized into the Divine Soldiers, Divine Generals, Divine Kings, Divine Archmasters, and the Sacred Divines.
The Infernals were categorized into the Infernal Soldiers, Infernal Generals, Infernal Kings, Infernal Archmasters, and the Sacred Infernals.
The Shifters were categorized into the Spiritual Beasts, Immortal Beasts, Divine Beasts, Greater Divine Beasts, and the Sacred Beasts.
If he was correct, the other races' hierarchy in terms of power should be similar. In order to even reach the level of a Heavenly Soldier, Infernal Soldier or Spiritual Beast, their levels would need to reach at least 100.
The Archmaster was the second most powerful in the game, and he could not see Archmaster Moji's stats at all.
"Based on her identity, her power after being sealed should be similar to when Xiao Longnu was at the height of her power. Since she was affected by the Deep Slumber stat, maybe I should kill her now! She might drop some Divine Artifacts!" Jiang Feng had a very courageous idea when he identified who she was and her power level.
"Even if death was the worst-case scenario, I should do this carefully. You can do this!"
After giving himself the pep talk, he placed the Teleportation Cauldron carefully next to the blood pool. If Archmaster Moji were to suddenly wake up, he could hopefully make his escape.
He was still in his human form. After all the evolutions, the duration of his polymorph had been extended to more than three hours.
If he were to start counting from the moment that he had entered the cavern, he had spent around two hours to reach this place. He still had one hour, more than enough for him to do what he needed to.
With that, he removed his boots and trousers as he slowly walked into the blood pool and approached her. He did not want his few articles of clothing to be soaked in blood if he could help it.
'Please don't wake up, please don't wake up...' He muttered anxiously in his mind.
"Ah? What nicked my foot?!"
He suddenly felt his foot was slashed by something within the blood pool, and fresh blood started to gush out.
Looking at the blood from his foot, he moved his hand down to the blood pool and looked at the thing that slashed at him.
"A Donghuang Bell fragment!" He was overjoyed to have found the thing that slashed him was actually a Donghuang Bell fragment the size of his palm.
"I did not think that it would be in the blood pool. No wonder I couldn't find it!" He put the fragment into his spatial bracelet cheerfully.
He suddenly felt a chill down his spine. It was as if a monster was staring down at a prey. He looked up, and his eyes were met with the wistful gaze of a woman that was supposed to be asleep.
Archmaster Moji!
But before he could even react to her sudden awakening, his eyes began to lose focus as she let out a seductive smile.
"Ah... What a beautiful gift my followers have presented to me..." She said with a smile as she raised her hand and motioned Jiang Feng to approach her, and he did so without struggling.
"How naughty," Archmaster Moji removed the rest of his clothing and threw them aside together with the rest and caressed his strong physical features with her delicate fingers. "But your blood and essence, it tastes of something different... Now, give me more..."
Then, she gave in to her hunger and unleashed her carnal desires on him.
Ding. System prompt: Charm status expires!
When he finally came to be, he saw Moji was on top of him. He pretended that he was still under her spell, and it came to him easily as it was not his first time being controlled in a similar way.
Without showing it, he cursed himself for falling to the same trick twice.
After half an hour, Moji let out a satisfied moan.
"Youth-Stealing Technique!"
At the most opportune moment, he used the Youth-Stealing Technique.
Ding. System Prompt: Congratulations. You have absorbed 20% of Archmaster Moji's base stats. You have also received the Infernal Shades skill.
"You!"
At this moment, it was as if Archmaster Moji had sensed something, she screamed at him red-faced when she saw Jiang Feng had fully recovered from her mental domination and double-crossed her.
"Um... I'm sorry, I have something else to do, so, bye!"
He did not even have the time to take his clothes as he quickly used Blink to blink to the top of the Teleportation Cauldron.
"Argh! Boy, I will kill you!"
Seeing that Jiang Feng had blinked to the top of the Teleportation Cauldron, Archmaster Moji let out an angry wail and blasted out a wave of Infernal Miasma toward him.
"You!"
At this moment, it was as if Archmaster Moji had sensed something, she had broken through her Deep Slumber status effect and opened her eyes. She screamed at him red-faced when she saw Jiang Feng on her.
"Um... You're awake. I'm sorry, I have something else to do, so, bye!"
Seeing that Archmaster Moji had suddenly woken up, Jiang Feng was shocked and he gave her an awkward smile. He did not even put on his clothes as he quickly used Blink to blink to the top of the Teleportation Cauldron.
"Argh! Kid, I will kill you!"
Seeing that Jiang Feng had blinked to the top of the Teleportation Cauldron, Archmaster Moji let out an angry howl and blasted out a wave of Infernal Miasma toward him.
The moment Jiang Feng opened the lid and entered the Teleportation Cauldron, Yao Qiong appeared within the secret room and saw him enter the cauldron.
"The Shifters' Inheritor!" She exclaimed in surprise.
Boom!
Whoosh!
The moment Moji's Infernal Miasma hit the Teleportation Cauldron, it turned into a white light and disappeared!
"Shifters' Inheritor! I will destroy your entire race!" Moji roared out angrily when the Teleportation Cauldron disappeared as she floated above the blood pool. When she heard Yao Qiong's description of Jiang Feng, she became even more furious.
When Yao Qiong heard Moji's angry roar, her body shook as she thought to herself, 'Why is the Inheritor of the Shifters in this place? What did he do to Archmaster Moji to make her wake up and be so furious?'
"What happened?"
At this time, Grandma Yesha had also rushed in when she heard the commotion and asked Yao Qiong curiously.
"Archmaster Moji!"
When she saw that Archmaster Moji had fully woken up, her ugly face wore the expression of both shock and excitement.

Chapter 125: That Was Awkward
Beiyu City, Snowflake Plains.
This was an area where monsters level 30 to level 50 spawned, and was also one of the better places for players to level up.
At this time, a large group of players was leveling at the Snowflake Plains.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a two-storey tall Snow Monkey King appeared on the plains.
The Snow Monkey King was a level 40 boss. Once it appeared, it let out an enraged roar and attacked the surrounding players.
Several of the players could not react in time and were sent flying.
Yu Zheqing was a twenty eight year old mature female player. She was also ranked seven on the Beauty Leaderboard.
When she saw the appearance of the Snow Monkey King, she was overjoyed and quickly said to the surrounding players, "Qingyang Guild members, your attention please! Warriors at the front! Priests pay attention to their health! Wizards, archers, and gunners maintain DPS. Assassins, watch our surroundings, and don't let any other players approach us! If we get a Guild Building Order, then we can finally build our base too!"
"Let's call the other Qingyang Guild members to come over and stop players from other guilds from coming over. Everyone, focus on damage!" Another handsome man said in agreement.
"Kill it!"
A group of players assaulted the Snow Monkey King. Swords, magic, and bullets all bashed at the Snow Monkey King.
It was obvious that the players were all from the same guild. As for the others that were from the other guilds, they were blocked by a dozen assassins.
While the Snow Monkey king had high health and defense, its attack and movement speed were quite limited. Under Yu Zheqing's command, the Snow Monkey King's health kept on falling.
Very quickly, the Snow Monkey King's health had only a few thousand HPs left.
"Roar!"
The Snow Monkey King unleashed a howl and killed a warrior that only had a little bit of health left with a slam, and it jumped high up into the air after beating its chest.
"The boss is going to use its ultimate attack! Everyone spread out!" Yu Zheqing quickly commanded the other players once she saw what the Snow Monkey King was doing.
Once the players had retreated, they stared at the Snow Monkey King that was roaring in the air and heading straight toward the ground.
They were waiting.
Once the Snow Monkey King's ultimate attack had been used, they would rush over and use all their skills on it when they were within range. With that, it would be able to instantly kill the Snow Monkey King.
Boom!
But at this moment, something shocking happened.
A giant alchemical furnace suddenly appeared in the air and crashed into the head of the Snow Monkey King that was focusing on unleashing its ultimate attack.
-15,356.
Next, an extremely high number floated out from its head, and the Snow Monkey King was instantly killed.
Not only was the Snow Monkey King killed, but it also did not drop anything at all. All the members of Qingyang Guild could do was open their mouths in shock and look at the two-meter tall alchemical furnace and the body of the Snow Monkey King on the ground.
"Um.."
Yu Zheqing blinked her beautiful eyes as her mouth gaped.
Then, the alchemical furnace was opened up, and a naked man jumped out from within. Looking at that birdie dangling in the wind, Yu Zheqing could only stare in disbelief as the gape of her mouth grew bigger.
After escaping from the clutches of Archmaster Moji using the Teleportation Cauldron, he let it land on the ground and jumped out once he had opened its lid.
"My goodness, it's so cold."
When he jumped out of the Teleportation Cauldron, a cold wind blew and he shuddered.
"Um..."
He looked at the male and female players around him who were staring at him in shock, he was slightly taken by surprise. Then he looked down at his birdie, and he scratched his head awkwardly.
He looked at the snow falling from the sky, then laughed and said, "Hehe, the weather today is not bad. The sun is warm and bright, perfect for killing monsters and leveling up, please continue..."
With that, he sneaked back into the cauldron awkwardly.
"That is so awkward! I've been teleported into a crowd of people. They have seen me naked now. Hopefully, no one has taken any pictures, or my reputation would be ruined!" He put on a newbie outfit once he was in the Teleportation Cauldron and did not leave. "I better look at my stats now that I have absorbed Moji's stats. The players outside would leave eventually, I guess."
With that, he accessed and looked at his current stats.

T/L Note: There's some discrepancy with the stats previously, but by now I'm used to the bugs. E.g. Hide is missing, 600,000 honor
"Hm? Why did I only gain 100,000 HPs, 10,000 attack, and 4,000 defense? Can it be because of the severe injury and seal statuses? So, does that mean her total HPs were only around 500,000, attack 50,000 and defense 20,000?"
He had originally thought that his stats would explode, that was why he took her abuse lying down. But what he did not expect was that his stats had only increased by a little, and it was a very big difference from what he thought he would get.
Then, he remembered about the effects of Severely Injured and Sealed.
Archmaster Moji's base stats had been reduced to no more than 5% because of the two status effects.
'Damn Severely Injured status. Damn Sealed status. After all that effort and almost getting myself killed, all I got is some stats. Damn it all!" Jiang Feng cursed under his breath
"Fine. At least I've managed to get something from the Battlefield of the Divines and Infernals."
He managed to find two pieces of the Donghuang Bell fragments, three drops of dragon blood, the map of the Battlefield of the Divines and Infernals and the map of the Heavenly Palace. He even managed to get some high-level materials and the Teleportation Cauldron, and even stole the virginity of a beautiful, cold woman. Indeed, he had earned much.
"The man inside, come out! I don't care who you are, you stole our boss! Give us an explanation now!"
"You exhibitionist! Come out! Give us our boss back! Give us our Guild Building Order back!"
After he closed his status panel, he heard the shoutings and yellings from outside the Teleportation Cauldron.
He frowned and jumped out of the Teleportation Cauldron.
After he exited, he ignored the players, took out the Qiankun Gourd, and put away the Teleportation Cauldron.
"Hm? Why is there a boss's dead body here?"
After he had put away the Teleportation Cauldron, he saw the body of a Snow Monkey King on the ground. The Teleportation Cauldron was right on top of the corpse of the Snow Monkey King.
He looked at the corpse of the Snow Monkey King, then he remembered the system prompt when he was teleported over. He seemed to have understood something when he listened to the content of the players' yellings.
The Snow Monkey King was smashed to death by the Teleportation Cauldron!
Um... That was awkward!

Chapter 126: Do Not Provoke Me
"I shouldn't waste a boss's corpse!"
He did not care about the yelling from behind as he looked at the corpse of the Snow Monkey King in front of him and used Transmute Monster on it.
Whoosh.
A blazing fire arose from the Snow Monkey King's corpse.
As others could not see the flames from Transmute Monster, he could use it without alerting the others.
In just a short while, the Snow Monkey King's corpse had disappeared, and a few items appeared from the fire.
Ding. System Prompt: Transmute Monster Successful. Congratulations, you have gained one Snow Monkey King Pelt, one Level 40 Experience Pill, one piece of Equipment, one Evolution Pill, and one Guild Building Order.
"Hmm? Looks like my luck isn't bad. Not only did I get an Evolution Pill, but I also got a Guild Building Order!" He cheered up as he looked at the items that came from the flames.
This was the first time that he had gotten so many items from using Transmute Monster.
Jewel of the Snow Soul: Level 40 Yellow-Gold Equipment
Spirit 500
Magic Attack 1500
Water Elemental Attack 10%
Skill Cooldown reduced by 10%
Skill Damage increased by 10%
Mana Regeneration Rate increased by 20%
Passive Skill: Chill. Whenever a skill is used, there is a 20% chance of reducing the targeted enemy's movement speed by 20%.
Active Skill: Freeze. Freeze an enemy for 2 seconds. Cooldown of 30 seconds.
Prerequisite: Level 40 2nd Tier Spellcaster Class
"This equipment is quite good."
The Jewel of the Snow Soul was a transparent pearl, and it was snowing within the pearl. It looked gorgeous. He was not expecting it to be a level 40 spellcaster equipment with good stats until he checked.
Not only did it increase Magic Attack by 3,000 points, but it also increased three of the stats that were important to spellcasters. Not to mention that it had one active skill and one passive skill that were both for crowd controlling.
It was definitely one of the best pieces of equipment yet.
Unfortunately, despite the fact that the Jewel of the Snow Soul was a very good piece of equipment, he could not use it. As such, he dumped it into the Spatial Bracelet.
He then looked at the Guild Building Order next. At this point in time, a Guild-Building Order was only around 1 million. Its price could not be compared to the first one. Regardless, it was still something valuable, so he put it away together with the Evolution Pill.
Once he had cleared everything, he then looked at the group of people that was making a ruckus.
The moment he turned, the yelling had died down. He then scanned the players in front of him.
"Hm? Ms. Yu?"
What surprised him the most was that he knew most of the players in the group.
These players were the teachers and peers from his university.
As for those that he did not recognize, his guess was that they had changed their faces so much that he could not recognize them.
He looked at their stats, and it surprised him that they were all under the same guild called Qingyang.
It was a no-brainer that Qingyang Guild was formed by people from his university and that most of the members were from Qingyang University or its graduates.
What a coincidence. He did not expect to meet his teachers or peers here.
Looking at the people in front of him, he gave them a smile. A smile filled with wickedness.
"Silver hair, red eyes, and so handsome... Whoa! He's the Shifter's Inheritor! I'm standing so close to the Shifter's Inheritor! My God!"
"Liu Xiaoyun, stop being such a fangirl. He's the Shifter's Inheritor, an NPC. He's just a string of data. There's no need to fall in love with someone that doesn't exist, why don't you fall in love with me instead?"
"Damn! It's really the Shifter's Inheritor! I've been to the siege of the Ancient City of the Shifter's Emperor and saw him in this form! He's a demon! Ms. Yu, we should leave now. If he becomes enraged, we're all going to die here!"
In just a short while, many from the group of players recognized who he was from his current form and were shocked.
But what made Jiang Feng astonished was that there were those from his peers that admired him. Quite a few of him too.
What he did not know was that after the Siege of the Ancient City of the Shifter's Emperor, the conversation that he had with Ling Yun and Yao Qiong when he was bloodied helped him in gaining a lot of fans.
'I was originally thinking of killing them all, but since they're my teachers and peers, I guess I should just let them go. If not, I would have killed them just based on how they yelled at me!' He thought to himself as he scanned his teachers and peers. He looked at the duration of his Polymorph, he then turned and left.
There was less than ten minutes left, and he was going to use this time to teleport back to Dongyu City. He could then return to the Boneyard Abyss and finish the Old Lumberjack's Quest.
"Wait!"
At this time, Yu Zheqing yelled at him.
He turned and stared at her. "Something I can help you with?"
Yu Zheqing then pointed to where the Snow Monkey King's corpse had disappeared and said, "You stole our boss!"
Jiang Feng gave her a smile. "So, what?"
Yu Zheqing said angrily, "Give it back to me!"
As soon as Yu Zheqing finished her sentence, a student next to her pulled at her and said, "Ms. Yu, he's the Shifter's Inheritor. If you anger him, all of us might have to die!"
Just as Jiang Feng and Yu Zheqing were talking, another group of people approached them.
A warrior player was leading the group, and he was screaming before he even reached them, "Zhao Yang said that someone stole our boss! Who dares to steal our guild's boss? Who wants to die that badly?!"
The moment he heard the screaming, the smile on Jiang Feng's face disappeared.
The players that were observing him saw the smile disappear, and all became silent. Their hearts were pounding.
"Damn! Where's the person that stole our boss?! I don't care who he is, I'm going to kill him today!" That player was still screaming without stopping, and he looked like an idiot.
When she heard the first shout, Yu Zheqing already knew who was coming. It was a rich guy from her class. Other than being wealthy, he was completely useless. When Yu Zheqing heard Wang Wei yelling without end, she became disheartened and said to him, "Wang Wei, shut up!"
'Oh ho. Wang Wei, Li Yi, and Zhang Qian are all here.'
Jiang Feng thought to himself as he looked angrily at the people that were leading the approaching group. It was Wang Wei, Li Yi, and Zhang Qian.
He looked at their stats, they had all reached level 35. They also had a complete set of White-Silver equipment. No wonder they were so arrogant.
"Who was the one who said that he wanted to kill me?" Jiang Feng asked coldly as he looked at Wang Wei.
"It's me, you... You're the Shifter's Inheritor!"
As Jiang Feng was blocked by Yu Zheqing, Wang Wei did not see Jiang Feng's face clearly. Only when he was close enough to see who it was, his arrogant tone became one of surprise and fear.
Li Yi walked over, then looked at Jiang Feng and said, "So you're the Shifter's Inheritor?"
Jiang Feng did not look at him but continued to stare at Wang Wei with a cold smile.
Li Yi became angry as he was ignored, but Wang Wei's heart continued to beat even faster as he was startled by Jiang Feng. It was as if he was a beautiful woman who had winked at him.
"Did you yell at me?" Jiang Feng asked Wang Wei.
"I... I..." Seeing all the students staring at him, Wang Wei did not want to surrender. He straightened his back after mumbling for a moment, then said, "So what if I did? You're just an animal, made of data. What..."
Bang!
Before he could even finish his sentence, the Jingu Staff had appeared in Jiang Feng's hand. The staff instantly enlarged and he pounded him to death using one hand.
Looking at the dead Wang Wei and the blood flowing from his body, the entire place went silent.
Silence!
Pin-drop silence!
Bang!
Next, he waved the Jingu Staff in his hand and pounded Li Yi to a pulp.
After Li Yi had been killed by Jiang Feng so many times to the point where he lost all his levels, he had since chosen to become a tank warrior. All his points were added to Stamina, meaning that he had a lot of HPs. With the equipment on him, he had almost 30,000 HPs. Jiang Feng could not kill him with one hit.
Needless to say, Li Yi was quite speechless. He was not the one that yelled at him, why would he attack him?
He then yelled out in rage, "Damn you, I wasn't the one that screamed at you! Why did you attack me..."
He had not even finished, and the staff came again one more time, instantly killing him!
However, the Jingu Staff did not stop there. It killed Zhang Qian as well as a few other students that had bullied him in university.
"You... stop!" Seeing that around eight students had been killed, Yu Zheqing yelled at Jiang Feng.
Whoosh!
The bloodied Jingu Staff stopped at the tip of her nose.
"Don't provoke me!"
Jiang Feng said to Yu Zheqing. He then summoned the Monster Cloud and left, leaving behind a stunned Yu Zheqing and her group.

Chapter 127: Come, Lick!
He left the Snowflake Plains.
He lay on the Monster Cloud with his hands behind his head. He was slowly falling asleep as he stared at the drifting snow and felt the coldness from the game.
In a short while, the duration of his Polymorph ended, and he automatically returned to his Dragon Form.
In order to stop him from falling, the Monster Cloud enlarged itself.
As the duration of his Polymorph was too short, he could not return to the city using the Town Portal Scroll. It was also too far for him to directly return to the Boneyard Abyss as it would take him no less than five hours. He gave up on submitting his quest, and he simply allowed the Monster Cloud to float about randomly.
The main reason that he was relaxing was that after he had killed the first player, a desire to kill all of them had risen in his heart.
As he had a feeling that he was entering the Indifference state, he was worried that it could affect his emotions back in reality. As such, he was going to stabilize his own emotions and his desire to slaughter.
That was why he was not thinking of doing anything and simply lay on the Monster Cloud in peace.
He did not think that as he was lying down, he would fall asleep a second time within the game.
As he slept, the cloud continued to float as the snow fell.
The moon rose as the sky darkened.
The sun rose as the sky was lit up.
Jiang Feng was covered by a heavy layer of snow when the Monster Cloud floated outside a gloomy shadow.
Scrape!
Sounds of blades being sharpened came from within the forest.
Whoosh!
Woken up by this sound, Jiang Feng turned and the snow fell from him as he opened his draconic eyes.
He felt re-energized, and it was even more comfortable than sleeping one whole day back in reality.
Scrape!
The sounds of the sharpening of the sword did not stop there. Jiang Feng ordered the Monster Cloud to move and looked at where the sound came from curiously.
In just a short while, he had appeared on top of a wooden house, He looked down and saw a young man with a white, wolf tail sharpening a blade.
He used Identify on it with curiosity.
Moonhowl Wolf: Level 20 Spiritual Beast
Introduction: Moonhowl Wolf, one of the Spiritual Beasts. Could transform between human form and beast form since birth. Knows how to live like a human and possess high intelligence. Lives near the Darkmoon Forest. Once killed, cannot be revived.
HPs: 250,000
Attack: 15,000-20,000
Defense: 7,000
Skills: Bite, High-Speed Movement, Lunar Slash
'Hm? It's a low-level Spiritual Beast. How rare. What is he sharpening the blade for?' He thought to himself curiously as he looked at the Moonhowl Wolf that was sharpening a blade as it sat in front of the wooden cottage.
He then came before him on the Monster Cloud with interest.
Seeing his arrival, the Moonhowl Wolf was shocked.
But seeing that it was a dragon, it then continued to sharpen its blade without fear.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Feng asked.
"Sharpening a blade!" The Moonhowl Wolf said without batting an eye and continued to sharpen the blade.
"I'm asking why you are sharpening the blade."
"To kill!"
"Who are you killing?"
"To kill those who deserve to be killed!"
"And who can be killed?"
"All the Infernals under Heaven can be killed!"
After the short conversation, Jiang Feng's initial surprise became joy.
He did not expect the Moonhowl Wolf to have such high intelligence, and because of this he wanted to recruit him.
The Moonhowl Wolves were Spiritual Beasts and had already reached rank 16. They had no need to take Evolution Pills, all they needed to do was to level up.
While it was not very powerful for the time being, its powers would exceed his once it was properly leveled up.
It would be hard to find a follower that did not need any Evolution Pills.
However, he realized that the Moonhowl Wolf seemed to have a story to tell. If not, it would not be able to say something as cruel and hateful as killing all the Infernals.
Jiang Feng then said to the Moonhowl Wolf, "If there's anything you need, tell me. I will help you!"
"The entire Moonhowl Wolf tribe has been captured by the Infernals, and they have killed many more of my people. If you can save my people and kill all of them, then my life is yours!"
Ding. System Prompt: Will you save the Moonhowl Wolf's people and kill all the Infernals that captured the Moonhowl Wolf tribe?
'Hm? It's a quest. And it looks like it's a pet quest.'
He guessed that if a player were to accept and complete this quest, that player would get a level 16 Spiritual Beast.
"Accept!"
He would not refuse since he wanted to take in this follower. He nodded and agreed to the Moonhowl Wolf's request.
"I can help you, but can you tell me where they are?" Jiang Feng asked.
"Come, I will bring you to them!"
The Moonhowl Wolf transformed into a silver wolf, a blade in its mouth, and ran deep into the forest.
Jiang Feng shrunk his body and crouched on the back of the Monster Cloud.
Darkmoon Forest. A territory for monsters level 40 to 60.
He had met many monsters between levels 40 and 50 when he was on his way. The Moonhowl Wolf was highly intelligent indeed as it knew how to avoid the monsters as it headed toward a certain location deep inside the forest.
After running for around half an hour, they finally reached a valley that was shrouded by Infernal Miasma.
Within the valley, there were many Infernalized monsters and Infernals.
At the corners of the valleys were many cages and many of them held monsters within them. But most of the monsters had been corrupted by the Infernal Miasma.
Among the captured monsters, he found the Moonhowl Wolf's tribesmen. There were twenty of them. They were all low-level Moonhowl Wolves, around level 40. And they had all been Infernalized, raging within their cages.
Seeing so many monsters being caged and infernalized, Jiang Feng became extremely enraged.
The Moonhowl Wolf by his side was gritting its teeth in anger.
Seeing that the Moonhowl Wolf was going to attack, he extended his dragon claw and stopped it.
"You are too weak, leave this place to me. And... It's fine, you'll understand it soon," Jiang Feng said to the Moonhowl Wolf. He wanted to say something to him in the end but gave up.
With that, he summoned Yanhu, Heifeng, the Thunderclap Mantis, Haozi, and Houwang.
"Heifeng, look after him!" Jiang Feng told Heifeng as he pointed at the Moonhowl Wolf. Next, he took out his Jingu Staff and waved it. Next, he pointed it at the Infernal NPCs and the Infernalized monsters in front of him, and said, "They dare to pen members of us Shifters like some kind animal, kill them all!"
"Kill them!"
Yanhu, the Thunderclap Mantis, Haozi, and Houwang assaulted the valley under his command, with him following behind them.
By his assessment, the reason that the Infernals began to capture a large number of Shifters was to expand the Infernals' army so that they could have a large army during the Great Divine-Infernal War.
It was the same ten thousand years ago. These Shifters had no choice. It was either they became the pets of the Divines or to become Infernalized monsters used by the Infernals. There could be no worse fate for them.
'After I return to the Boneyard Abyss and submit the quest, I will need to focus my efforts on finding the Donghuang Bell fragments and recruiting powerful followers. When it is time for the Great Divine-Infernal War, I will have you all see how the very Heaven tremble before me!' He swore silently. At this time, the Jingu Staff in his hand expanded and slammed toward a group of Infernal NPCs and Infernalized monsters.
Seeing that Jiang Feng had led a few of his followers into the fray, the Moonhowl Wolf was going to join them with the sharpened blade in its mouth. However, its was stopped by Heifeng.
"Move!" The Moonhowl Wolf said to Heifeng coldly.
"Bro, are you a masochist? Why don't we just stay here and watch?" With that, Heifeng took out half a chicken drumstick from his fur and gave it to the Moonhowl Wolf. "Here, this is the chicken drumstick that I asked from the boss. There's still half of them. Let's just sit here, have a lick, and look at the battle. Isn't that a great idea?"
"Scram!" The Moonhowl Wolf glared at Heifeng and jumped forward, intending to rush out.
Heifeng suddenly jumped up and gnawed at the Moonhowl Wolf's tail, then threw it to the back and said, "What's wrong with you, doggy? You can't even beat me with that small paw of yours. You want to feed the enemy and make your friends' life difficult?"
"I'm not a dog, I'm a wolf!" The Moonhowl Wolf corrected him.
"Ah, I'm sorry brother dog. I am somewhat face blind. Don't mind me, hehe," Heifeng apologized with a smile.
"I'm a wolf!" The Moonhowl Wolf became incensed.
"Um... Right, you're a wolf. Brother wolfdog, you are so famous! Your killing blade is known across the universe! You're unbeatable, even walls can't hold you... About that, let's have a lick at the chicken drumstick. It took me a while to reheat it. It's not delicious if it's cold!" Heifeng said in full seriousness, but he gave him an honest smile when he reached the second part of the sentence and gave the Moonhowl Wolf the drumstick.
"I'm not a Wolfdog, I'm a do... No, a wolf!" The Moonhowl Wolf was almost breaking down, and suddenly placed the blade by Heifeng's neck, "If you don't want to die, shut the hell up!"
"As long as you don't go, I will zip up my mouth!" Heifeng dared not go against Jiang Feng's direct orders. While Jiang Feng could revive him, if he failed at what he was supposed to do, his Evolution Pill would be delayed. He still wanted to become a being that surpassed Baihu, the White Tiger.
"Alright, but do not bug me!"
When the Moonhowl Wolf saw how persistent Heifeng was, all it could do was to crouch down and look at the battle between Jiang Feng and Infernals. While it was angry, it was not proper for it to attack Jiang Feng's followers.
Heifeng crouched down next to the Moonhowl Wolf and gave it a smile. He then came closer to it and put the chicken drumstick in front of the Moonhowl Wolf and said, "Come, lick!"

Chapter 128: Recruiting the Moonhowl Wolf
The Infernalized monsters and Infernals were all around level 40 to 50, and all of them were normal monsters and Infernals.
Even normal players at this stage could easily kill all the monsters and Infernals within the valley.
That was to say that he had easily killed them all together with his four followers.
"Tornado!"
A Tornado threw around a dozen Infernals into the air.
Before the Infernals fell to the ground, he became enlarged and pounced on them, his Jingu Staff kept on beating them violently.
His attacks had already reached around 20,000 and the defense of normal monsters at level 40 was around 9,000 plus. Meaning that each attack would deal around 10,000 plus worth of damage to the Infernals and Infernalized monsters.
The HPs of normal monsters were around 40,000, meaning that he could kill each normal monster after hitting them around twenty times.
Once he used skills, it would only make it easier for him to kill them.
"Transmute Monster!"
Ding. System Prompt: Congratulations, you have gained one Infernalized Backblade Bear Pelt and one Level 40 Experience Pills.
While he was killing the Infernalized monsters, he also used Transmute Monster on them.
There were around three hundred Infernals and Infernalized monsters within the valley. After around thirty minutes, he had cleared the entire valley.
Boom!
At that moment, a giant rock came crashing down onto Jiang Feng from the cliff face of the valley.
"Ugh!"
38,345.
Jiang Feng could not react fast enough, and he was sent flying by the rock, losing around 40,000 HPs.
After being knocked away by a rock, he stabilized his body as he looked at who threw the rock at him. He felt he had lost all his dignity by being damaged by the rock.
He saw that the giant rock came from the entrance of a cave. In front of that entrance was a wide-faced man wearing a black robe. His body was dispersing Infernal Miasma.
"I never expected the Shifter's Inheritor to come to my Infernal Altar! You must have a death wish! Archmaster Moji had promised great rewards for either your capture or your death. This time, it is my, Tu Lu's turn to shine!" The black-robed man ate a Beast Speech Pill and said to him. Then, a machete appeared in his hand as he rushed toward Jiang Feng.
Tu Lu: Level 40 Infernal Soldier
HPs: 500,000
Attack: 45,000-55,000
Defence: 20,000
Skills: Infernal Shades, Hide, Triple Slash
Infernal Soldiers were at the same level as rank 16 Spiritual Beasts but they were slightly weaker than normal warriors from the Infernals.
But what made Jiang Feng so surprised was that Archmaster Moji had placed an Infernal bounty on him.
"You're just a fodder before me, and you want to kill me?"
With that, he confronted Tu Lu with the Jingu Staff in hand.
"Requiem!"
The sounds of a ringing bell arose, and Tu Lu was dazed for one second. In that one second, Jiang Feng came in front of Tu Lu and violently gnawed at him and used his Drain Blood skill.
Tu Lu's HPs were decreasing by 500 per second. Meanwhile, Jiang Feng's HPs were increasing by 500 per second.
Tu Lu, awakened from his daze, wanted to free himself from the dragon's bite. Unfortunately, he could not escape as the dragon's teeth had firmly chomped into his flesh.
When he had lost around 5,000 HPs, he roared out in rage, "Infernal Shades!"
A dozen of his shades appeared around them, and all of them struck at Jiang Feng's dragon body.
"You aren't the only one that knows how to use that skill! Infernal Shades!"
Jiang Feng also used Infernal Shades and ten of his shades had appeared, attacking the ten of Tu Lu's shades.
He managed to get this skill when he used the Yin-Yang Union of Joy on Archmaster Moji.
Infernal Shades: After activation, ten shades appear around the user. The user can exchange location with any of the shades. Each shade has 70% of the user's power. Disappear upon defeat. Duration of 10 minutes. Cooldown of 10 minutes.
When he saw that Jiang Feng also knew how to use Infernal Phantasm, Tu Lu was stunned. He did not expect Jiang Feng to be able to use skills from the Infernals.
"Dragon Howl, Tornado, Tiger Roar, Dao Dao Dao..."
In order to quickly end the battle, he did not delay it unnecessarily. He immediately used his crowd control skills and dazed Tu Lu and his shades. Next, a tornado appeared and threw him into the air as Jiang Feng and his shades attacked him madly.
When Yanhu and his other followers had finished their battles, they came to help him. Very quickly, Tu Lu's shades were destroyed one by one.
With the destruction of Tu Lu's shades and Jiang Feng's advantage in numbers, Tu Lu's HPs had been rapidly depleted.
"Tell me, where did you hide the other Moonhowl Wolves?" He asked Tu Lu, who was helpless in his claws. He did not kill him directly as he still needed to interrogate him.
"They have all been brought away by the Infernal King! Just you wait. Soon, all of the powerful Shifters would become nothing but our weapons!" With that, he threw that machete toward the cage and unlocked the cage that was imprisoning the Infernalized Moonhowl Wolves.
Jiang Feng was angered by this and squashed Tu Lu in his hand into shreds.
"Roar!"
At this time, he noticed that all the released Infernalized Moonhowl Wolves that were freed were approaching him.
"Boss, what should we do? Kill them?" Yanhu asked Jiang Feng as he looked at the Infernalized Moonhowl Wolves that were surrounding them.
"Kill them!"
"No!"
The Moonhowl Wolf that was previously stopped by Heifeng had run over and put itself between Jiang Feng and the Infernalized Moonhowl Wolves.
Jiang Feng frowned and said, "They have been Infernalized, they no longer have their own will. They are no longer Moonhowl Wolves!"
The Moonhowl Wolf shook its head and said, "No! They are my tribesmen, I can't simply look at them being..."
Just when the Moonhowl Wolf was still trying to stop Jiang Feng, the Infernalized Moonhowl Wolves all pounced at it, biting and shredding the Moonhowl Wolf.
"Kill them!"
Jiang Feng frowned and ordered Yanhu and his followers, and attacked the Infernalized Moonhowl Wolves. In but that short moment, the Moonhowl Wolf had already been heavily wounded, blood splattered all around him.
"How... How did it come to this...?" The Moonhowl Wolf looked at its tribesmen that were Infernalized with what little health it had left. It wept. In the next moment, he polymorphed into his human form. He stood up, took the blade from the ground, and assaulted the Infernalized Moonhowl Wolves.
"I'm sorry, tribesman! I have to do this to release you from your suffering! Don't worry, I will kill all the Infernals and avenge you!" The Moonhowl Wolf roared as he slaughtered them with tears.
Looking at the roaring Moonhowl Wolf, Jiang Feng frowned once again and sighed. He tightened his dragon fist, and thought to himself, 'Damn Infernals! I will make you all pay!'
Very quickly, there was only blood and corpses within the valley.
Jiang Feng, his followers, and the Moonhowl Wolf all had blood on them.
Looking at the blood on the ground and the rage in his heart, he could feel the bloodlust within him becoming stronger.
Ding. System Prompt: Congratulations. You have completed a quest successfully. You have gained a favorable impression with the Moonhowl Wolf. He will now follow you.
When the quest mentioned that he needed to save the Moonhowl Wolf, it was most likely to save the Moonhowl Wolves that had not been Infernalized. Unfortunately, all the Moonhowl Wolves had already been Infernalized by the time he had arrived. All he could do was to kill all of them, and that was why the System still considered it as him completing his quest.
"From now on, you're Xiaotian," Jiang Feng gave the Moonhowl Wolf a name.
"Alright!" The Moonhowl Wolf nodded with little emotion, except for the sadness in his eyes.
After recruiting Xiaotian, he looked at Heifeng and questioned him, "What did I tell you earlier?!"
Heifeng wagged his tail and said, "Boss, you know what. I got Nature's call! I went to do my business and he disappeared! But that's not important. The most important thing is that he ate my chicken drumstick!"
Xiaotian picked at his teeth and gave Heifeng a cold stare, and said, "He wanted me to lick it. So, I ate it!"
"See, boss?! I was saving that chicken drumstick! I didn't even give it to brother Yanhu! The chicken drumstick that I've licked for the past few days is all gone!" Heifeng was so sad that he almost started crying.
When Xiaotian heard that Heifeng had licked it for a few days, he almost vomited.
Jiang Feng looked at Heifeng speechlessly, and took out all the food from his spatial bracelet and dumped them all into the Qiankun Gourd. "It's just a chicken drumstick. Look at yourself."
With that, he put away all his followers.
Beep. Beep.
Just as he was about to leave on the Monster Cloud, his friend panel started to blink.
There were only two people in his friend list: Mu Xi and Nangong Tiaotiao. As for Canaan, he had blacklisted her after hearing what she had to say about the Shifters. He also did that so that Canaan would not find out who he was.
"Is Mu Xi looking for me? I wonder why."
Jiang Feng frowned. To him, Mu Xi was also part of the Canaan Guild. As he disliked Canaan, he disliked Mu Xi as well. However, he did not see Mu Xi during the siege, and that meant that she was not part of the offensive team against the Ancient City. That was why he tolerated Mu Xi and did not remove her from his friend list.
With that in mind, he opened the friend panel.
