Chapter 1 What's Going On?

"What's going on?"

"I'm not trapped in a spatial rift, am I?"

After entering the silvery-white spatial passage, Shi Feng realized that a long time had passed, but the surrounding space was still dark. His body was unable to move due to the divine power within the passage.

Normal teleportation, even spatial teleportation, should only take two or three seconds to reach the destination.

Now, just looking at the time displayed by the system, three minutes had already passed. That was enough to circle the entire God's Domain more than ten times.

"That's..."

After another full five minutes, Shi Feng suddenly noticed a glimmer of light at the end of the passage. Within the light, he could vaguely see mountains, rivers, and flying birds and beasts in the sky.

A moment later, Shi Feng was standing on a mountain peak.

System: Player has discovered the Dark Canyon. During this time, players cannot use the system's communication functions or return scrolls.

System: Asura-level class change quest initiated. Quest details: Collect the Seven Luminaries Source Stones and seal the Demon King Stolas. Reward: Unknown.

"Seal the Demon King?" Shi Feng's lips twitched as he listened to the system's emotionless words.

Although he knew the quest difficulty would be high, he didn't expect it to be this high...

Demon Kings were equivalent to Tier 5 Legendary monsters, beings that could easily slaughter an entire city. They were not something players at the current stage could contend with.

Just the Asura-level was already this difficult. No wonder Xia Lian said that the God-level task was a certain death. If he had really chosen the God-level, he would probably have been instantly killed. But even now, he was still no match.

He was just a Tier 1 Swordsman. Facing a Tier 5 Demon King, even a thousand of him would be wiped out with a wave of a hand.

That was how God's Domain was. The higher the tier, the greater the difference. That's why the various guilds tried every possible way to cultivate experts.

Because the later it got, the more important quality became. Quantity was secondary.

Especially when a guild produced a Tier 5 player, the effect was much better than having tens of thousands of Tier 2 players. They could easily guard a city and organize teams to better raid Tier 5 Legendary monsters.

Generally, to deal with Tier 5 monsters, you needed at least a Tier 3 team of a hundred people, and you had to understand the monster's weaknesses and have items or objects that targeted those weaknesses. Otherwise, you couldn't fight at all and would only be wiped out.

Now, he was asked to deal with a Tier 5 Demon King. It was the same logic; there was no chance of winning.

"Fortunately, the quest mentions collecting the Seven Luminaries Source Stones." Shi Feng took another careful look at the quest details and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He knew a little about the Seven Luminaries Source Stones.

They were even more precious than the Seven Luminaries Crystals. The energy stored inside was more pure, but correspondingly, it only contained one type of energy, unlike the Seven Luminaries Crystals, which contained all types. In terms of usage, the Seven Luminaries Crystals were more versatile, while the Seven Luminaries Source Stones were very narrow, only used in specific situations, such as special sealing magic arrays.

"Now that the quest has been determined, all that's left is to find the Seven Luminaries Source Stones."

Shi Feng glanced at the dark abyss below his feet. He could faintly hear roars and the sounds of fighting coming from the canyon. In the center of the canyon stood a tall tower that pierced the sky, several times higher than the mountain he was standing on.

Around the tower, there were a large number of flying monsters circling.

Nine-Headed Vulture, Demonic Beast, High Lord rank, Level 60, HP 30,000,000.

A large number of Nine-Headed Vultures surrounded the tower in mid-air, making it impossible to fly over.

"Flying over is impossible. I can only go down and take a look." Shi Feng immediately activated Air Walking and jumped off the mountain peak.

The mountain path was very rugged, and there were many powerful monsters lurking nearby, which made Shi Feng secretly relieved. Fortunately, he didn't follow the mountain path down, or he would have been ambushed by these monsters.

After Shi Feng entered the darkness of the canyon, a dim and silent scene suddenly unfolded before him.

It was different from what it looked like from the outside.

The darkness was actually a courtyard, and the tower stood in the center of the courtyard. Various high-level monsters could be seen walking around in the courtyard, some even fighting fiercely for territory.

"Hmm?"

As soon as Shi Feng entered the huge courtyard shrouded in darkness, he immediately felt his entire body become heavy, and Air Walking suddenly disappeared. As he got closer to the ground, the gravity became stronger and stronger.

Fortunately, Shi Feng had the Ring of Gravity. He activated Gravity Liberation, which caused the gravity to suddenly disappear and the speed of his descent to slow down directly. He landed safely on the stone slab on the ground without attracting the attention of the surrounding monsters.

System: Player has discovered Moonlight Courtyard.

"Moonlight Courtyard?" Shi Feng was surprised when he heard the system prompt. "So the rumored Moonlight Courtyard is here."

The Moonlight Courtyard was rumored to be a courtyard built by the Moon God. The Moon God loved to plant flowers and also studied alchemy and magic arrays. Moon Drop, for example, was developed by the Moon God and could remove all curses in the world.

The Moonlight Courtyard was where the Moon God usually did her research.

"Xia Lian really didn't lie to me. Now I have a place to find God Crystals." Shi Feng looked at the system prompt, his eyes flashing with excitement.

As a place where the Moon God conducted research, there must be many items that the Moon God used to use. These items didn't need to be very powerful, as long as they were items that the Moon God often used. Anyway, he was just using them to restore the Soul Orb. If they were really treasures, he probably wouldn't be willing to let the Soul Orb absorb them.

Immediately, Shi Feng quietly entered the courtyard.

There were many monsters in the courtyard, with the lowest level being above Level 60. Their strength was above Elite rank. In order not to cause trouble, Shi Feng used Eyes of Insight to solve the visibility problem while drinking an Invisible Potion to bypass these monsters.

Level 60+ Lord monsters weren't a problem for Shi Feng in a one-on-one fight.

However, as soon as a fight broke out, the noise of the battle would definitely attract the attention of the surrounding monsters. After all, these were demonic beasts. In this dark environment, they were more sensitive than Shi Feng and would quickly gather together. At that time, he would probably only die.

Because whether he turned around to escape or faced them head-on, the result would be the same.

Turning around to escape would attract more monsters, and fighting head-on would be impossible to win. As for teleportation scrolls and spatial movement skills, Shi Feng had already tried them and couldn't use them. In addition, flying was forbidden here. If he was surrounded, he would only die, so he had to be careful.

After spending more than two hours, Shi Feng finally crossed the outermost area of the courtyard and arrived at the middle zone between the outer and inner areas.

"This inner area is really luxurious!" Shi Feng looked at the inner area in the distance, his eyes filled with longing.

The inner area had a medicine garden. Although the era of the Divine Court was too long ago to be verified, the herbs inside were not affected at all because the medicine garden itself was reinforced with magic arrays and divine runes.

The only pity was that these herbs had become the food for the demonic beasts here, and many of them had been eaten. Shi Feng wanted to cook these demonic beasts.

If they were just ordinary herbs, that would be fine, but the key was that these herbs were rare herbs and super-rare herbs, such as the Life Flower, which had the same effect as the Water of Life and could heal all the injuries of NPCs. There was also the Strange Grass, which could remove most curses, and the Rainbow Fruit, a top-quality material for making wine...

Even in kingdoms and empires that produced a lot of herbs, these herbs were hard to obtain. As for planting, there were no seeds, so they couldn't be planted at all.

These invaluable herbs had all become food for the demonic beasts. No wonder these demonic beasts were so well-fed.

"Hmm, Moonlight Fruit!" Shi Feng suddenly saw a translucent fruit on a tall, silvery-white tree that was twenty or thirty meters high. He couldn't help but be shocked.

Ordinary players, and even expert players, might not know anything about the Moonlight Fruit, but at an auction held by a super force in his previous life, this fruit made everyone in God's Domain deeply remember this name.

The reason they remembered it wasn't because the Moonlight Fruit sold for a sky-high price, but because it could strengthen a player's physique after they ate it.
