In the world of Heavenly Dao.
After Chu Tian killed fifty Soul Eaters.
The new system prompt arrived as expected.
[Ding… System Prompt: The Incubation of the Five-Colored Stone, Third Stage Progress Three: Kill Soul Seeker: 0/500]
The exaggerated kill count almost made Chu Tian’s jaw drop.
At the current monster-killing speed, it took ten hours to kill fifty monsters.
Wouldn’t it take a hundred hours to kill five hundred monsters? The mission deadline was only seventy-two hours.
By now, the countdown had only fifty-eight hours remaining.
Could he complete the mission within the time limit? He didn’t know if there would be a Fourth Stage after completing the Third Stage.
There was no other way but to bite the bullet and continue. Moreover, even if he didn’t want to, he couldn’t leave this place.
His return stone was greyed out and couldn’t be used.
He checked his experience bar; it was already at level 41 with 94% experience.
The only thing Chu Tian was grateful for was the astonishing experience given by the monsters here.
Killing one monster here was equivalent to killing a whole group of monsters in the Greenhouse.
“Sigh… I’ll just treat it as grinding levels!” Chu Tian sighed inwardly.
However, when he saw the Soul Seekers, Chu Tian was stumped.
These monsters were small eyeballs wandering all over the map.
They had no attack power, and Chu Tian could kill them directly with a single instant cast of Moonlight Fire.
The difficulty lay in them being hard to find, and they gave no experience or drops.
Chu Tian, running all over the map, was so angry he cursed out loud.
Another seven to eight hours passed, and he finally found the last Soul Seeker in a very hidden small cave.
[Ding… System Prompt: The Incubation of the Five-Colored Stone, Third Stage Progress Four: Kill Blazing Nether Fiend: 0/5000]
When Chu Tian saw the kill count required for Stage Four of the mission, he felt an urge to kill someone.
But upon seeing the name of the monster ahead, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He had seen Blazing Nether Fiends on a previous mission while running around the map.
They were fire element monsters, and there were endless numbers of them there.
Their health should be around 20,000. Five thousand of them, and he could probably clear them by grinding there for a while.
He now had two area-of-effect skills, so he wasn’t afraid of these low-health, group-dwelling creatures.
While Chu Tian was stuck in endless monster grinding, the Southern War Zone was also in full swing.
A player named [Xi Men Da Guan Ren] had held a god-tier scroll for eleven hours and forty-five minutes.
Chu Tian thought he would be the final winner.
Unexpectedly, he was killed at the last moment, and the holding time was reset.
The fighting in the Southern War Zone was fierce.
The Northern War Zone was not idle either.
For the past two days, Jian Zhi Cang Tian, Heng Dao, and others had stopped running dungeons.
They had launched a full-scale attack on Sha Lu.
Whether in the wild leveling areas or at the entrance of dungeons,
Ni Shen Meng had deployed personnel. As soon as they saw any member of Sha Lu, they attacked directly.
They didn’t fear the red name, they just killed them.
If someone got a red name, they were replaced, and the next wave of people would continue to stake out.
Huang Xueyi never expected that after the Ni Shen Meng guild withdrawal incident, they would become even more united, secretly harboring a fierce determination.
Tian Ya Kuang Dao never imagined that every time he cooperated with Huang Xueyi, he would be the one to suffer in the end.
In the Battle of Daralsen Basin, he was crippled by five members of Ni Shen Meng.
Last time, during the town battle, a demigod monster appeared, and they were wiped out.
Then they were ambushed and killed in the canyon of Chiji Mountain.
Fueled by resentment, Tian Ya Kuang Dao, after receiving benefits from Huang Xueyi, attempted to poach members from Ni Shen Meng.
Not only did he fail to recruit many people, but he was also targeted and beaten.
Even Tong Tong, who met with him, was killed and sent back to the novice village.
After the four legion commanders left Ni Shen Meng, they didn’t seek to join him.
To date, only over forty members of Ni Shen Meng’s elite guilds had reported to him.
This time, recruitment was paid per head. With these few weaklings, how much money could be made?
Tian Ya Kuang Dao vented all his pent-up frustration on the monsters in the leveling area.
He held a single saber in his right hand and a shield in his left, swinging them with great vigor.
After a burst of actions, his damage per second was less than two hundred and fifty!
Tearfully, Tian Ya Kuang Dao stopped attacking.
He thought to himself, "I've messed up again. I just hope this group from Ni Shen Meng's anger passes quickly!"
He finally understood the suffering of those weak individuals whom they, the members of Sha Lu, used to harass and chase.
As Tian Ya Kuang Dao left the battle, preparing to sit down and gain experience,
His leveling spot, which his 300-man legion had taken over, suddenly became chaotic, and their formation was disrupted.
Tian Ya Kuang Dao was startled, wondering what had happened?
In the sky, large masses of magical black clouds gathered, pressing down like a city about to crumble. The powerful aura made the players of Sha Lu panic.
“Damn it, who is casting a large-scale magical skill?”
“It’s… the Warlock’s advanced ultimate skill, Doom!”
“Holy crap, it’s one of Ni Shen Meng’s ‘Rou Rou’! Quickly interrupt him.”
The players of Sha Lu became agitated, scrambling to run outside the magical range, with no one thinking of interrupting.
On the other side, a battle group of over twenty players charged in from outside the Sha Lu formation.
Leading the charge were Jian Zhi Cang Tian and Sheng Guang Hu You Zhe Ni.
Jian Zhi Cang Tian, like a tiger descending the mountain, charged and collided with seven or eight Sha Lu players.
Sheng Guang Hu You Zhe Ni, as a hidden class, the Holy Light Arbiter, followed closely behind Jian Zhi Cang Tian.
Suddenly, he whistled, and a warhorse appeared beneath him, lifting him up.
To everyone’s astonishment, he controlled the warhorse and charged directly back into the Sha Lu players.
Three seconds later, the warhorse disappeared.
He raised his greatsword high, pointing it towards the sky, and cast Divine Storm. A golden hurricane erupted centered on him, blowing away a group of more than ten players.
“Damn it, pride comes before a fall!” Jian Zhi Cang Tian scoffed, seeing Sheng Guang Hu You Zhe Ni’s stylish moves and skill effects.
Behind them, Heng Dao and others also charged forward, carving a bloody path.
The Sha Lu players parted like a flowing stream to the sides.
“Follow me, turn left, Tian Ya Kuang Dao is that way!” Jian Zhi Cang Tian roared.
He had already located Tian Ya Kuang Dao.
At this moment, the Sha Lu players began to fight back. Although this wave of charge had killed dozens of people,
This was the 300-man legion of Sha Lu.
They were Tian Ya Kuang Dao’s loyal followers.
The elite members of the Sha Lu guild.
“Rou Rou, how much longer until your skill is ready?”
Countless spells, arrows, and bullets rained down on Jian Zhi Cang Tian.
Although the damage was not high, only around 100 points, the sheer volume was overwhelming.
Heng Dao and the other five healers continuously replenished the team’s health.
Sheng Guang Hu You Zhe Ni also began to use Holy Energy to heal Jian Zhi Cang Tian.
“It’s almost ready, hold on for 2 minutes!” Rou Rou shouted in the team.
Sheng Guang Hu You Zhe Ni, at the front of the team, spotted Tian Ya Kuang Dao actually retreating.
“He’s trying to run!”
“Lei Zi, accelerate and charge, close the distance!” Heng Dao suddenly shouted.
Trusting Heng Dao’s judgment, Jian Zhi Cang Tian did not hesitate.
He opened the path ahead, charging rapidly.
“Holy Light… Shackles!”
When they were still one hundred and fifty meters away from the team Tian Ya Kuang Dao had gathered,
Heng Dao suddenly began to chant…
