Chapter 1468 A Difficult Choice

Looking at the system prompt, Shi Feng hesitated.

Both the guidance of the Red-Eyed Sword Saint's inheritance and the opportunity to empower the Heavenly Disaster Blade were once-in-a-lifetime opportunities.

The inheritance guidance could not only help players unlock the Mana Body, but might even allow the Mana Body to break through the 100% shackles, depending entirely on personal comprehension. Especially for a Sword Saint like the Red-Eyed Sword Saint, who stood at the pinnacle in the era before Tier 6 Gods appeared. He didn't rely on powerful attributes, but could still fight against same-tier heroes and even dragons with his skills alone.

Such a strong expert's inheritance guidance was even more precious.

As for empowering the Heavenly Disaster Blade, it was equally invaluable.

It involved permanently consuming a portion of one's own mana to attach it to the weapon, granting the weapon a portion of the empowerer's abilities. On the surface, the weapon wouldn't undergo any attribute changes, but the weapon's power and the attached magic skill effects would be significantly enhanced, and it would also come with hidden mana effects.

The empowerment effect of a Title Sword Saint was no less than upgrading an Epic-ranked weapon to a Fragmented Legendary item.

A weapon comparable to a Fragmented Legendary item was already like a divine artifact for the experts of the various Super Guilds in God's Domain, something they could use for a lifetime. After all, Epic-ranked weapons and equipment above Level 100 could have their level limit raised through special methods, although the cost was higher than that of an Epic-ranked weapon.

But for a weapon comparable to a Fragmented Legendary item, these costs were nothing.

Just as Shi Feng was deeply hesitating, the system prompt sounded again.

System: Player has one minute to make a choice. Failure to choose within the allotted time will be considered an automatic forfeiture.

Seeing that time was running out, Shi Feng gritted his teeth and walked in front of the Red-Eyed Sword Saint.

"Respected Sword Saint, I hope to receive your inheritance guidance," Shi Feng said seriously.

"Are you sure? You should know that you have already unlocked the Mana Body. I think you should have also received guidance from other strong experts. Even if you receive my inheritance guidance, it may not necessarily help you. On the contrary, the Heavenly Disaster Blade can allow you to gain an increase in power," the Red-Eyed Sword Saint looked at Shi Feng calmly and confirmed again.

"Yes, Your Excellency, I am very sure," Shi Feng nodded.

His Mana Body had indeed been unlocked, but for the sake of his future path, simply unlocking 100% was not enough. Only by breaking through the 100% shackles could he go further in the future. And every strong expert's path was different. Obtaining more inheritance guidance would also help him break through the 100% shackles.

The most important point was that such an opportunity was rare. Whether he could encounter it again in the future was entirely up to luck. If he missed it, he would really miss it.

He knew that after obtaining the Azure Saint's inheritance guidance, plus the Heart of the Gods, he had barely managed to reach 100%. It was much more difficult to break through after that than it was to reach 100%. Relying on his own strength, he didn't know how long it would take, or even if he could break through the 100% shackles in this lifetime. After all, his Mana Body was Epic-ranked, and the difficulty of breaking through was much higher than that of other Mana Bodies.

Without enough reference, the chances were slim, even with the Heart of the Gods it was still very uncertain.

So he had no choice.

As for the weapon's mana empowerment, maybe he could immediately get a weapon comparable to a Fragmented Legendary item, greatly strengthening his combat power. But the Heavenly Disaster Blade was a fragment of Solomon's Sword. In the future, it was destined to have the five fragments combined, so the effect of the mana empowerment would be gone, simply wasting an empowerment effect in vain.

Moreover, he now had the Abyssal Blade in his hand, so he wasn't behind in terms of weapons.

The most important point was that Tier 3 was ultimately just a transition for true expert players. Compared to obtaining a Fragmented Legendary item, becoming a Tier 4 class was better, because the gap in tiers would increase with the level, and it couldn't be made up for by one or two Fragmented Legendary items.

Moreover, his current level had reached 117, only three levels away from the Level 120 mark.

Level 120!

This was the second major watershed for players after entering Level 100.

Because players could go to advance to Tier 4 classes at Level 120!

It was just that he hadn't heard of any players who could advance to Tier 4 classes at Level 120 in his previous life. The top experts of the various Super Guilds advanced at Level 125 at the earliest, and some even advanced at Level 130. After all, many top expert players hadn't unlocked the Mana Body even at Level 120, let alone other aspects.

The Tier 4 class advancement was much more difficult than the Tier 3 class advancement. This difficulty was not just in the general sense.

If he had to describe it, the Tier 3 difficulty was equivalent to a small, normal dungeon, while the Tier 4 difficulty was a Hell-mode, hundred-man team dungeon. The difference between the two was already a qualitative change.

He knew that many mainstream expert players could advance to Tier 3 classes. If they couldn't at Level 100, they could advance at Level 120 or 130. But for Tier 4 classes, if you couldn't do it, you really couldn't, no matter what level you were, even if you were Level 200.

Because of this, even in the Super Guilds, there were very few Tier 4 class experts, and they were all high-level members of the guild, true powerhouses standing at the top of God's Domain.

Moreover, the time required to advance to a Tier 4 class was also very long. According to the statistics of his previous life, it took at least a month, and often as long as two months. And he still had the Holy Dragon's Trial waiting for him, so time was very tight. If he couldn't reach a Tier 4 class, then the possibility of passing the trial was infinitely close to zero.

Only by becoming a Tier 4 class would he have a 10-20% chance of success. After all, the benefits of becoming the Holy Dragon's companion were too great, and it was his guarantee of gaining a foothold in the Western Continent, so he couldn't be careless.

"It seems you already know what kind of path you should take." The Red-Eyed Sword Saint's gaze at Shi Feng had changed significantly, no longer looking at him as a weakling, but as an equal. He then took out a crystal ball and handed it to Shi Feng, "This is my inheritance experience, I hope it will be of some help to you."

As the Red-Eyed Sword Saint handed the inheritance crystal to Shi Feng, he turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the City of Poison Calamity. The two accompanying Tier 4 NPCs also disappeared, as if they had never appeared in the City of Poison Calamity, leaving only the Heavenly Disaster Blade inserted in the fountain pool.

Shi Feng didn't think too much about the Heavenly Disaster Blade, and directly put it away without planning to use it.

Because the Heavenly Disaster Blade was different from ordinary weapons. As long as it was used, it would convert its own mana into a dense aura of death. This aura of death caused indiscriminate damage except to the holder. Even wearing it would greatly affect the surrounding creatures, making it unsuitable for ordinary players to use, and only suitable for solitary dark players. This was also why he didn't choose to empower it.

"Guild Leader, we have already sorted out the Boss's drops." Aqua Rose looked at Shi Feng who had completed the quest, and walked over excitedly, "This drop is quite generous. In addition to dropping a Fragmented Legendary item, the Robe of the Dead, it also dropped two Epic-ranked weapons, one is a staff, and the other is a dagger. There is also a set of Tier 3 Netherworld equipment for the magic system and various material formulas. Among them, the Epic-ranked weapons have been internally auctioned according to your requirements. The staff was auctioned off by Qing Shuang, and the dagger was auctioned off by Flying Shadow. I don't know how to deal with the Robe of the Dead and the Tier 3 equipment?"

"Give the Robe of the Dead to Qing Shuang first. After all, he still has to return to the Dark Cave to preside over the overall situation. If there are no high-level experts guarding the area, it may be difficult to compete with the various Super Guilds." Shi Feng thought for a while and said.

"Guild Leader Black Flame, I just received intelligence that the Demon's Heart alliance team has begun to attack the third Boss of the Ancient God's Tower. It seems that there is a high probability that they can take it down..." At this time, Qing Hong of Dark Rhapsody walked over worriedly.

The first floor of the Ancient God's Tower only had four Bosses. If the Demon's Heart alliance took down the third one, then the Ancient God's Tower's teleportation magic array would most likely be in the hands of Demon's Heart.

"They are attacking so fast." Shi Feng was also slightly surprised. The interior of the Ancient God's Tower was equivalent to a small wilderness map, and finding the Boss was not an easy task. He then smiled and said, "But things here have been dealt with, it's time for us to go back."
