Chapter 1 The Fallen Angel

As high-level beings of God's Domain, Fallen Angels were naturally much stronger than ordinary creatures, renowned as invincible at the same tier.

Even fifth-tier experts who had mastered fifth-tier forbidden skills could only flee when faced with a fifth-tier Fallen Angel.

"This is really the end."

Shi Feng looked up at the Fallen Angel in mid-air, a wry smile on his face.

He might be able to escape from a fourth-tier Great Demon, but he had no power to resist a fifth-tier Fallen Angel. In the fifth-tier domain, a space of its own, even the space movement skill within the Seven Luminaries Ring was unusable, let alone other means.

In terms of speed, he couldn't even compare to a fourth-tier Great Demon, so how could he compare to a fifth-tier Fallen Angel?

One had to know that the fourth-tier Great Demon Kneter was insignificant in the face of a fifth-tier Fallen Angel.

"Human, it seems your courage is not small. To think a mere first-tier Swordsman would dare steal the Moloch Ring that Kneter always guarded." A hint of amusement appeared on the Fallen Angel's indifferent face, like a child who had received a new toy.

Before Shi Feng could react, the Fallen Angel suddenly disappeared from mid-air. By the time Shi Feng reacted, the enchanting Fallen Angel was already standing in front of him, a flawless, jade-like hand piercing Shi Feng's heart.

Tens of thousands of health points instantly dropped to zero.

"Is this the power of a fifth-tier Fallen Angel?" Shi Feng was filled with shock as he watched his rapidly diminishing health.

Whether it was speed or power, it was far more formidable than any fifth-tier player he had ever seen. However, the most terrifying thing was the Fallen Angel's combat skill, which was completely natural and flawless. No wonder so many experts turned pale at the mention of Fallen Angels.

Although Shi Feng had reached the second stage of the Refinement Realm, the Flowing Water Realm, his control over himself was beyond compare, but he still couldn't achieve perfection in every movement. Only by reaching the Domain Realm could one achieve such perfection.

But how many people in God's Domain could reach the Domain Realm?

At this moment, Shi Feng was also grateful that the Fallen Angel had not used any special moves to kill him, but simply eliminated him with ordinary attacks. This way, he would at most lose one level and some skill proficiency. Moreover, players killed by monsters would not drop equipment unless it was a special item that was guaranteed to drop upon death.

"What's going on?" Shi Feng opened his eyes again, suddenly discovering that the place where he had revived was still inside the Dark Cave, but the revival point was very far from the towering mountain peak. It would take at least half an hour to run there.

Generally speaking, when entering a special map, as long as you died, you would definitely revive in the city. He was killed by a fifth-tier Fallen Angel, so he should have revived in the city, but instead, he revived in the wilderness.

Shi Feng quickly opened the attribute panel again and checked his attributes and backpack.

"Fortunately, I only lost one level and some skill proficiency." After reading the system log, Shi Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Whether it was level 33 or 32, it made no difference to Shi Feng. "But what exactly is going on?"

Shi Feng looked around and suddenly noticed a golden path paved in the vast plain, with countless monsters walking along this golden path towards the towering mountain peak.

The levels of these monsters varied, with the lowest being level 10 and the highest being over level 100, numbering over a hundred thousand.

Moreover, these monsters were of various races, most of which were not related to the dark forces. Shi Feng even saw human NPCs, who were also not affiliated with the dark forces, and seemed more like wild adventurers, ranging from level 10 to level 100.

"Why are there so many human NPCs here?" Shi Feng was secretly shocked, but he didn't stop, instead quietly following them.

To be careful, Shi Feng also activated Phantom Kill, letting his Doppelganger approach little by little.

However, surprisingly, these monsters and NPCs did not attack Shi Feng's Doppelganger, and even after the Doppelganger stepped onto the golden path, the system prompted that it was impossible to attack any target in this area.

No danger.

Shi Feng was relieved and proceeded along the golden path.

He had finally reached the central area of the Dark Cave, and there was an over eighty percent chance that the Book of Darkness was somewhere on the mountain.

Shi Feng had done many epic quests.

Being killed by the fifth-tier Fallen Angel earlier was just an ordinary death, proving that the quest had not failed. It was likely a penalty caused by the wrong way of entering.

Otherwise, he would be done for.

A fifth-tier Fallen Angel was guarding the Book of Darkness. Unless he was a sixth-tier god-ranked player, he would not be able to complete the quest at all. However, Thousand Illusions and Myriad Destructions was able to complete the quest in his previous life, indicating that there must be other ways to sneak up the mountain and quietly seize the Book of Darkness.

Arriving at the foot of the mountain, the golden path led directly to a huge altar below the mountain, where countless monsters were fighting each other. After a series of battles, the victor could obtain a golden key, then go up the mountain and step into the place where he had been teleported in before.

"As expected, my method of entry was wrong." Shi Feng observed for a long time and did not find any high-level guarding monsters, nor was there a fifth-tier Fallen Angel patrolling in mid-air.

Soon, Shi Feng arrived at the altar. As soon as Shi Feng stepped into the altar, the system notification sounded.

System: Defeat all the enemies in front of you to obtain access to the World Peak.

System: Killing one ordinary monster grants 1 minute of time, one elite monster grants 10 minutes, one special elite grants 30 minutes, one leader monster grants 100 minutes, and one lord monster grants 500 minutes.

System: You can choose 10 of your opponents. If you cannot defeat your opponents, you will die.

System: You have 19 minutes to choose. If you do not choose by the time limit, it will be considered a forfeit. If you forfeit, you will also die.

"So that's how it is, there are such restrictions to enter the World Peak. It seems I have to carefully select my opponents." Shi Feng finally understood the rules here. "But the World Peak is so big. If I only kill 10 ordinary monsters and get ten minutes, I probably won't even be able to run a few steps before time runs out."

Something like the Book of Darkness could not possibly be placed in an easy location.

Perhaps it was placed on the top of the mountain. If he purely ran to the top of the mountain, ten hours probably wouldn't be enough. However, choosing monsters that are too strong would put him at a disadvantage. If he couldn't defeat the selected opponents, he would die.

One Lord-ranked monster was equivalent to killing 50 special elites or 5 leader monsters. Although the Lord monster granted more time, it was the most difficult to deal with. Moreover, Lord monsters teaming up would double their power, equivalent to facing two bosses at the same time, which even Shi Feng couldn't handle.

But if he didn't kill high-level monsters, he might not have enough time.

In the huge altar, Shi Feng considered for a long time.

System: You have 1 minute left to consider. Please make your choice as soon as possible.
