Tianyun Lao Mao
Chapter 2341 An Unusual Legend
The moment Shi Feng stepped through the gates of the temple, it felt like entering another world.
Azure skies and a boundless sea of flowers created an indescribable sense of serenity. Not far from the flower field stood countless tombstones and statues.
Each tombstone recorded the deeds of the person it commemorated in life. A closer look revealed that every one of them had been a powerful figure in God's Domain, even heroes, and they had all died on the same day.
"A resting place built by the Sea God?"
Shi Feng could sense a faint divine power emanating from the tombstones and statues. If not for a god's construction, it would be impossible to imbue them with such an aura. After all, imbuing an object with divine power wasn't a simple touch; it required prolonged contact.
As Shi Feng observed his surroundings, Mo Qiubai and the others arrived.
"Elder Ye Feng, Zero Wing really keeps its secrets well. If the people from Battle Blood and Star Ring knew this, they'd probably be shocked," Mo Qiubai said, looking at Shi Feng with admiration.
Although he had known that Shi Feng was strong, he hadn't expected him to be *this* strong.
Having already become a Tier 3 Sword King so early on was a major deterrent to the current major powers.
No one could guarantee that if they pushed Zero Wing too far, Shi Feng wouldn't spend a lot of time stirring up trouble, targeting the guild's high-level members and core experts. Facing a Tier 3 Sword King, probably no one in the entire God's Domain could confidently say they were safe.
Furthermore, Zero Wing possessed an airship and occupied a medium-sized fortress on Dragonheart Island. This made Mo Qiubai very interested in the Zero Wing guild, no longer seeing it as just a quasi-superpower, but as an equal to the Heart of the Giants.
Lin Ya, standing to the side, felt a mix of awe and resentment towards Shi Feng. She felt like she had been played.
A perfectly good Tier 3 powerhouse had to hide his strength. Hiding was one thing, but revealing it afterward made her feel like she was being treated like a fool. But there was nothing she could do about it.
However, Lin Ya didn't know that if the Ocean Boundary Stone hadn't been so important to Zero Wing, Shi Feng wouldn't have bothered interfering. He would have preferred to rest quietly in the background, complete the task, and receive the Ocean Boundary Stone with ease.
But now, he could obtain two Ocean Boundary Stones with a single move, which was equivalent to an Epic item above level 100. Only a fool would pass up such a deal.
"Brother Ye Feng, you really know how to keep things hidden. I lost this time. As agreed, the two Ocean Boundary Stones that Mo Qiubai gave me are yours," Yu Sheng Mumo readily admitted defeat.
No one was surprised by this. Although Yu Sheng Mumo was a direct descendant of the Sea God and could fight Tier 3 classes in the Sea God's world, there was a big difference between Tier 3 classes. Yu Sheng Mumo might still be able to deal with ordinary Tier 3 experts, but against a Tier 3 Sword King like Shi Feng, who could overpower two stone giants, it was a joke.
Unless Yu Sheng Mumo became a Tier 3 class himself, but that was incredibly difficult. Even if he did, it would be a long time from now. Facing Shi Feng, the Tier 3 Sword King, he wasn't much stronger than other Tier 2 classes.
Shi Feng hadn't really cared much about it in the first place. Now, being able to obtain two Ocean Boundary Stones was undoubtedly a great gain.
This one task would allow him to earn nine Ocean Boundary Stones, which was a huge profit. Zero Wing already had a significant advantage in learning combat techniques compared to other forces.
That advantage was the Transcendence Tower!
The deeper one's understanding of the Realm of Logic, the greater the assistance in learning combat techniques. As long as one reached the Entry level, even experts in the Flowing Water Realm had a good chance of learning Bronze combat techniques. Even if they couldn't display them to their full potential, simply learning a Bronze combat technique greatly increased their combat power.
If a group of experts who had mastered Bronze combat techniques emerged in the guild, it would greatly help stabilize Zero Wing's various branches.
"Vice Guild Leader Mo, what do we do next?" Shi Feng asked, glancing at the surrounding sea of flowers.
"Next is much simpler. We just need to clear out the vengeful spirits formed by the strange energy in the cemetery. The faster we clear them, the higher the completion rate of the task. Before, it took the ten of us about two or three days to clear those vengeful spirits. Now, with Elder Ye Feng's help, it should be much faster," Mo Qiubai said with a smile, pointing to the gradually forming dark red mist in the cemetery.
The vengeful spirits formed by the strange energy in the cemetery were about as strong as Naga Sea Witches, but they weren't endless. Entering this world meant that the task was already more than halfway completed. Next, they just needed to clear all the strange energy in the cemetery. Then, he could not only become a direct descendant of the Sea God, but also obtain a Sea God artifact and become the ruler of the sea.
As Mo Qiubai spoke, the strange energy emerging from the cemetery grew denser and denser.
Semi-transparent undying vengeful spirits formed in front of the tombstones. These undying vengeful spirits wore fine weapons and equipment, their eyes glowed with black light, and they radiated a strange energy that continuously eroded the surrounding space, as if they wanted to dye the surrounding space their color.
Undying Vengeful Spirit, Special Energy Body, Great Lord, Level 99, HP 50,000,000.
Although these undying vengeful spirits looked like ordinary Great Lords, Shi Feng could tell that their combat skills were a level higher than those of the Naga Sea Witches. Each of them had the skill of the sixth floor of the Trial Tower, and with their powerful stats, even Refinement Realm experts of the same level would probably be no match for them.
However, facing experts like Mo Qiubai and the others, these undying vengeful spirits were not enough to pose a threat, not to mention Shi Feng's presence.
The undying vengeful spirits, which would have taken nearly three days to clear, were dealt with in just under two days thanks to Shi Feng's participation. If the undying vengeful spirits hadn't appeared so slowly afterward, it would probably have taken only a day and a half to clear them all.
During these two days, everyone's experience points also increased significantly. Mo Qiubai, Lin Ya, Yu Sheng Mumo, and Mei Jiaoyang de Niu all reached Level 98. However, the monster level was a bit low, so it provided very little experience for Shi Feng. He was still 23% away from reaching Level 103.
In addition, clearing these undying vengeful spirits yielded considerable rewards. Although the drops weren't great, Mo Qiubai still obtained hundreds of Level 95 Mysterious-Iron Equipment and several Level 95 Fine-Gold Equipment, as well as many precious materials.
After clearing all the undying vengeful spirits, Mo Qiubai had everyone sit down to rest, quietly waiting for the strange energy core that they needed to deal with at the end of the task.
After everyone had rested and recovered, Mo Qiubai took out a sea-blue pendant and began chanting incantations in front of the cemetery. Suddenly, the strange energy that had disappeared from the cemetery erupted wildly, continuously gathering in the middle of the cemetery.
In less than ten seconds, an undying vengeful spirit with a height of five or six meters, covered in a blood-red energy cloak, appeared before everyone, its gaze filled with cold laughter and mockery.
Seeing this undying vengeful spirit, both Mo Qiubai and Yu Sheng Mumo's expressions changed drastically.
"That's not right! Isn't this the Boss we fought before?" Lin Ya asked in surprise, looking at the undying vengeful spirit before her.
Twilight King, Aberrant Mythic, Level 100, HP 270,000,000.
"Is this Twilight King really the Twilight King we fought before?" Yu Sheng Mumo asked with a grim expression, feeling the pressure radiating from the Twilight King. "Its HP is more than three times higher."
Although the previous Twilight King was also a Mythic monster, it definitely hadn't made him feel this terrified. The terrifying pressure was more than twice as strong as before.
"Damn it! Why is it an Aberrant?" Mo Qiubai's face also turned pale.
He was no stranger to Aberrants. He had encountered one in the Sea God's world. At that time, the Aberrant was only a Level 60-plus High Lord, but it slaughtered players, monsters, and NPCs everywhere. Its strength was even greater than that of a Mythic monster, and it easily annihilated a punitive expedition consisting of a thousand Level 70-plus experts.
In order to deal with that Aberrant monster, the Heart of the Giants lost nearly ten thousand elite experts and finally used its foundations to barely kill it.
He couldn't imagine what would happen in the Sea God's world if this was a Mythic-ranked Aberrant.
"Run! Everyone, run!" Mo Qiubai shouted. "This is no longer a monster we can deal with! We must escape from here quickly!"
