Chapter 1 The Change

As soon as he entered the Demon God殿 (Hall), the space before him suddenly changed.

What greeted his eyes was a dim cave, which was very large, like a stadium. Moreover, there were many cave entrances, and he could occasionally see one or two squads of lizardmen patrolling.

The lowest level of these lizardmen was Level 58, and the highest reached Level 60. The weakest were special elites, and the squad leader leading them was a Lord.

"The difficulty has really increased a lot." Shi Feng frowned slightly as he looked at the patrolling lizardmen in the distance. "No wonder many demon expert players were stopped at the thirtieth Demon God 殿 (Hall) before."

In the twenty-ninth Demon God 殿 (Hall) before, the strongest of the patrolling squad leaders was only a Chief.

Chief monsters were easy to deal with, but after reaching the Lord level, their skills underwent a qualitative change, directly upgrading from Tier 1 skills to Tier 2 skills.

It would be fine if he was only dealing with two or three, but the key was that there were twenty or thirty Lord-level lizardmen patrolling here. This was just the lizardmen he could currently see. If he entered the cave, he didn't know how many more he would encounter.

Twenty or thirty Lord-level lizardmen would make even Tier 2 players' scalps tingle, let alone Tier 1 players. Ordinary experts probably wouldn't last ten seconds before being killed by these Lord-level lizardmen. No wonder so many experts who came to the World Peak were stopped at the thirtieth Demon God 殿 (Hall).

Currently, only five players are known to have passed the thirtieth Demon God 殿 (Hall).

After observing the lizardmen's patrol routes for a while, Shi Feng directly activated the Wind Ring of the Seven Luminaries Ring and rushed towards a cave entrance.

The patrols of the squads in the cave had fixed patterns. They didn't always maintain twenty or thirty squads. There were ten squads in the cave at most times, and only four squads at the least.

As long as he entered the cave leading to the core area of the cave when four squads were patrolling, he would only attract at most two squads of lizardmen.

Shi Feng transformed into a streak of light and directly rushed past a squad of lizardmen, not giving the Lord-level lizardmen of this squad any chance. He instantly bypassed them and ran several yards away by the time the Lord-level lizardmen reacted.

But as soon as he entered the cave, Shi Feng felt a threat of death.

"Trap?"

As soon as Shi Feng took a step, small magic arrays appeared around the corridor of the cave, totaling dozens. There was ice, fire, lightning, and wind. They seemed to lack power, but every magic attack was a genuine Tier 3 attack. Even players wearing top-grade equipment would be instantly killed if hit.

Behind him, two squads of lizardmen rushed up.

"As expected, the difficulty is too great." Shi Feng looked at the incoming magic attacks and immediately understood why so many experts couldn't pass the thirtieth Demon God 殿 (Hall). Immediately, he used Sword's Orbit to defend while advancing.

The activation of the traps not only targeted players, but also the lizardmen rushing into the cave. If they didn't defend in time, they would be blasted out of the cave. Fortunately, the Lord-level lizardmen had thick health. A single Tier 3 magic attack couldn't kill the lizardmen, and they could only watch helplessly as Shi Feng gradually disappeared from sight.

On the road to the core area of the cave, there were all kinds of traps along the way, and patrolling lizardmen rushed up from time to time. The speed of movement could be said to be very slow.

After walking for more than two hours, he finally arrived at an open stone altar. Stone pillars engraved with magic patterns stood around the stone altar, and in the center of the stone altar was a teleportation magic array, which was the exit to leave this Demon God 殿 (Hall).

However, at this time, the surroundings of the stone altar were full of kneeling lizardmen, numbering over three hundred. Although most of them were elites, there were also nine Lord-level lizardmen among them, not to mention the lizardman holding a scepter and standing on the stone altar as if praying.

Lizard Chieftain (Domain Lord), humanoid creature, High Great Lord, Level 60, Health Points 42 million.

Looking at the Lizard Chieftain, Shi Feng couldn't help but frown.

The guarding Boss of the twenty-ninth Demon God 殿 (Hall) before was only a Great Lord, but now it had directly become a High Great Lord in the thirtieth. The magnitude of this increase in strength was completely beyond imagination.

Although the Lizard Chieftain itself didn't have the health points of a High Great Lord of the same level, the magic skill amplification of a Domain Lord was no joke. Even if he just used a weapon to block it, he would probably die.

This made Shi Feng hesitate.

He didn't know whether to choose to pass directly through here, or stay and kill the Lizard Chieftain.

He was full of confidence in passing directly through, and he could also get the points for passing the Demon God 殿 (Hall) later. But if he stayed to deal with the Lizard Chieftain and died carelessly, losing a challenge opportunity was a small matter. The key was that if a player died in the Demon God 殿 (Hall), they would also lose a level, but not equipment.

High Great Lords were originally the final Bosses in team dungeons. It was almost impossible for a single player to kill them, and they usually had to rely on powerful external objects to do so.

Just as Shi Feng was hesitating, the Lizard Chieftain standing on the stone altar suddenly finished chanting the spell, directly causing the magic patterns engraved on the stone altar to light up with deep blue brilliance. The space in mid-air began to crack and collapse, as if forming some kind of passage.

Then, a golden stone slab slowly fell from the collapsing space.

The appearance of this golden stone slab directly stirred the magic power in the entire cave, emitting a faint divine power that made people feel a huge sense of oppression.

"This is… a Legacy Stone Slab?" Shi Feng stared at the golden stone slab, unable to believe his eyes.

He had also obtained many Legacy Stone Slabs, and each one was a treasure for players to learn combat techniques.

However, the ones in his hands were only Bronze-grade and Silver-grade stone slabs. The only Gold-grade stone slab he had ever seen was eventually robbed halfway by a mysterious NPC. One could imagine the value of a Gold-grade Legacy Stone Slab.

Just as Shi Feng was surprised by the appearance of the Gold Stone Slab, the Lizard Chieftain also took the Gold Stone Slab in one hand and began to chant the spell again. However, this time the commotion was even greater than the last time. The magic power gathered on the entire stone altar caused the magic power to begin to form white mist, and a triple magic array was formed on the ground.

"This is a Space-Time Teleportation Magic Array. What is he going to do? Could it be that he is going to send the Gold Stone Slab to other places?" Shi Feng was extremely familiar with this triple magic array that was being formed. He didn't think the Lizard Chieftain would leave the Demon God 殿 (Hall). Since the Lizard Chieftain wasn't leaving, then the only possibility for using the teleportation magic array was to send other things away.

Thinking of the Lizard Chieftain receiving the Gold Stone Slab earlier, then it was only natural to send the Gold Stone Slab away.

"No, I can't let him send the Gold Stone Slab away." Shi Feng suddenly made up his mind and quietly rushed up from the side.

The Gold Stone Slab was extremely precious and couldn't be compared to Bronze and Silver Stone Slabs at all. Just a Silver Stone Slab could make the various super forces fight to the death, let alone a Gold Stone Slab. If he missed this opportunity, he didn't know how long it would take to encounter a Gold Stone Slab next time, or even that he might never encounter it again.

Moreover, the Demon God 殿 (Hall) became more difficult as he went further. If he couldn't even kill the Lizard Chieftain, then it would be impossible to successfully kill the guarding Bosses of other Demon God 殿 (Halls) later.

Seeing that the Gold Stone Slab was about to be teleported away.

At the critical moment, Shi Feng immediately used the Forbidden Domain of the Ring of Time.

"Must succeed!" Shi Feng looked at the Space-Time Teleportation Magic Array that was about to be activated and couldn't help but pray secretly.
