Tianyun Lao Mao
Chapter 1570 Level of Life
Above the sky, the appearance of Serena immediately attracted the attention of all players on World Peak.
In fact, it was hard not to notice.
As a Tier 5 Fallen Angel, Serena could render current players immobile without deliberately restraining her aura. Not to mention, she was now displaying her original power. Even Shi Feng felt a deep sense of fear looking at Serena in the distance, as if Serena was the master of this space.
"Now that someone has obtained a Sub-Legendary key, let the God-Demon Ladder be opened!" Serena's voice echoed throughout World Peak, clearly audible to all players present, "If you wish to obtain power, demonstrate achievements that even the gods will recognize!"
As Serena finished speaking, World Peak trembled. Mana surged in mid-air, forming pitch-black temples around World Peak. These dark temples floated in the air, each connected by pitch-black steps, extending to the top of World Peak.
The entire process lasted several minutes, but none of the players on site moved an inch, all staring intently at the dark temples forming in the sky.
"Why did an NPC suddenly appear?"
"What is this NPC going to do?"
"Could this be a triggered event?"
"What is the God-Demon Ladder?"
As a pitch-black temple appeared among the many bronze temples, everyone couldn't help but discuss, filled with curiosity about the God-Demon Ladder Serena announced.
Many players began to walk towards the newly appeared dark temple.
"A Sub-Legendary Temple Key, could Lingyin and the others have triggered this God-Demon Ladder?" Tianying, already standing on the hillside, looked at the dark temple, a hint of jealousy and shock flashing in his eyes. Obtaining a large amount of time was one thing, but possessing a Sub-Legendary Temple Key meant being able to open a Sub-Legendary Temple. Thinking of this, he immediately ordered, "Let's go, we'll go and see what that dark temple is all about!"
He had no way of getting his hands on the Sub-Legendary Temple Key. It was a soul-bound item, without any physical form. The only thing he could do was to figure out what this newly appeared God-Demon Ladder was for.
As players arrived in front of the newly appeared dark temple and examined the rules on the stone tablet next to the temple, a hint of excitement couldn't help but appear on everyone's faces.
"Awesome! This God-Demon Ladder is just too awesome!"
"Damn it, if only I had entered World Peak later!"
Looking at the God-Demon Ladder rules displayed on the stone tablet, everyone was excited, as if they had seen a peerless treasure.
"What a grand gesture!" Shi Feng couldn't help but be secretly amazed as he looked at the God-Demon Ladder rules on the stone tablet.
This God-Demon Ladder was different from the temples that led to the top of the mountain. Instead of just reaching the area, having the qualifications to open the temple, and spending some time to enter the temple to obtain benefits, it was a way to obtain treasures by relying on one's own strength.
Entering the God-Demon Ladder didn't require paying any time. As long as the player had enough time remaining, they could stay in the God-Demon Ladder indefinitely. The only difference was the limit on the number of times they could enter.
A Bronze-level key only allowed one entry.
A Black Iron-level key allowed two entries.
A Mithril-level key allowed three.
A Fine Gold-level key allowed four.
A Dark Gold-level key allowed five.
An Epic-level key allowed seven.
And a Sub-Legendary key allowed a full ten challenge attempts. If the number of attempts was used up, the player would be directly sent out of World Peak.
Each time a player passed through a dark temple, they would receive corresponding Temple Points. These Temple Points could be directly used to exchange for various items within World Peak, without the need for any qualifications.
If it was just exchanging for some top-quality weapons and equipment, or even Epic-level weapons and equipment, Shi Feng wouldn't have been too surprised. After all, there were many Epic-level temples in World Peak. As long as one passed the Epic-level test in front of the mountain gate, obtaining an Epic-level item from an Epic-level temple shouldn't be too difficult.
What truly surprised Shi Feng was that Temple Points could increase one's life level!
In God's Domain, it was well known that increasing one's life level was extremely difficult, not just a matter of physique, but a leap in life. Compared to an Ancient Species, even if they both increased by one level, the basic attributes of an Ancient Species would be several times, even ten times, that of an ordinary human. This was the huge difference brought about by life level.
This was also the main reason why Ancient Species of higher levels were more difficult to deal with.
Although players could increase their life level by raising their tiers, what they mainly improved was their physique. A Tier 5 class wasn't much stronger in life level than a Tier 1 class, which was why Tier 5 players were much weaker than Tier 5 monsters.
The attribute gap in the early levels wasn't very large, and could be completely compensated for by top-quality weapons and equipment, allowing players to easily kill monsters above their level. However, as levels increased, especially after reaching level 100, the advantages of life level began to become apparent, and would become even greater later on.
At that time, players might be able to kill other players above their level, but wanting to solo a monster above their level would basically be a pipe dream.
Only when players reached Tier 6 would they undergo a true leap in life, becoming completely different from Tier 5 classes, possessing the conditions to challenge Tier 6 gods.
The Temple Points before him could allow players to increase their life level, how could Shi Feng not be shocked?
As far as he knew, even ten years later in God's Domain, only one in ten thousand players had managed to increase their life level, and completing such a feat was extremely difficult, requiring both luck and strength.
The various Super Guilds of God's Domain had fought fiercely over such opportunities, because obtaining such an opportunity would greatly help in advancing to Tier 6 in the future. Some life-level improvements were even more helpful than Legendary items.
Shi Feng never expected that the God-Demon Ladder before him would actually have this opportunity to allow players' life levels to be improved.
However, just looking at the exchange conditions for improving life level, Shi Feng couldn't help but click his tongue.
Even exchanging for the cheapest bloodline required a full 100,000 Temple Points, and the completion of one Great Achievement.
The Temple Points given for passing the first dark temple was only 10 points. Although the Temple Points given for passing the later dark temples would increase, it would still require passing a considerable number of dark temples to achieve this. Moreover, Shi Feng was completely clueless about the Great Achievement mentioned in the rules.
Even if he obtained 100,000 points, if he didn't obtain a Great Achievement, he still wouldn't be able to exchange for a bloodline to improve his life level.
In addition to exchanging for bloodlines, he could also exchange for many other things, including potions, design blueprints, recipes, mounts, siege weapons, Divine Crystals, etc. It was simply a treasure trove. Even fragments of Legendary items could be exchanged.
However, the price for exchanging for fragments of Legendary items was also extremely high, with the cheapest requiring 70,000 Temple Points, and the most expensive requiring as much as 240,000 Temple Points, as well as the completion of three Great Achievements...
Moreover, these points and Great Achievements couldn't be accumulated. The next time he came, they would be directly reset to zero. This meant that players had to obtain so many Temple Points and Great Achievements during their time in World Peak in order to obtain the items above.
The difficulty was unimaginable.
But even so, everyone who looked at it was drooling, and it even caused a stir.
After all, fragments of Legendary items were too ethereal for everyone now. Even Super Guilds hadn't obtained them yet. Epic-level equipment was already considered god-level equipment by current players.
Many players didn't say a word and directly entered the dark temple.
Shi Feng didn't stop either, and walked directly into the dark temple. After all, the opportunity was rare, and he had a lot of time. It would be a pity not to try.
