Li Yi walked out of the door and suddenly remembered the other Heavy Armored Dragon Knight mentioned by the Commander. He vaguely remembered that it was an NPC and his whereabouts were very mysterious. Even in the final battle, not many people had seen him or her. No one knew of this person’s identity at all!

  Even if it was a man or a woman, it was not clear. However, it was certain that they had perished together with a God!

  Li Yi wanted to take this opportunity and fight together with this Heavy Armored Dragon Knight. If something tragic happened in this person’s previous life, Li Yi would make sure that it would not happen again.

  Li Yi immediately opened his attribute panel. With the new upgrades and the Heavy Armored Dragon Rider’s innate attributes, his attributes instantly increased by a large margin.

  [Equipment Skills: Lost Magic, Indestructible Battle Intent, Protection, Explosive Health]

  [Talent: Blood Devour SSS, Dragon Knight’s Glory SSS]

  Li Yi nodded and headed straight for the teleportation place. This time, there was no need for anyone to lead the way. Everywhere he went, he would be given the green light.

  The NPCs all greeted him with smiles. If he went to the Imperial Palace to look for the Emperor of the Ghana Empire now, there would probably be no NPCs stopping him.

  Heavy Armored Dragon Knights were extremely rare, and their status in the Ghana Empire was extremely high. As long as they were within the empire’s boundaries, they could be said to be the real VIP players.

  Li Yi came to the teleportation portal and returned to Emperor City for free once again. He was ready to head to the broken God’s cliff to complete a mission. With his current attributes, it would definitely be a good place to test the waters of his new skills.

  Li Yi walked out of the teleportation portal and went to the NPC store at the side. He bought some illuminating gems, which were milky white round stones that could be attached to any equipment.

  [Illuminating Gem: A tool that can be attached to any equipment. The radius of illumination is 100 meters. It only has the effect of illumination. It has no effect on the blindness caused by skills! The duration is two hours!]

  The bottom of the broken God’s cliff was pitch-black. Li Yi knew he had to buy this kind of item. Otherwise, if he went down the cliff, even if he had unparalleled strength, he would not be able to see anything in the dark and be rendered useless. This would mean that he would be considered blind.

  In Divine Revelation, for blind players, the hit rate of skills would be greatly reduced. Even if you knew that the monster was right in front of you, you would still lose damage even if you slashed at it.

  After Li Yi had done all this, he opened his friend list and privately messaged Little Merchant.

  [CD: Do you have any newly made Intermediate Mana Potions? I want a bag full of it!]

  [LM: Okay!!!!]

  Little Merchant only replied with one word before he went silent. Not long after, he received a notification that someone had sent a gift.

  Li Yi opened it and received 30 sets of potions. Each set had 100 bottles of potions, and there was a message from Little Merchant.

  “You really don’t know your place. Don’t you know that rice, oil, and salt are expensive? These things are very expensive. Use them sparingly. Don’t act like a rich landlord and treat these potions like you’re just drinking water!”

  [Intermediate Mana Potion (made by a player): Recovers 350 mana points in 5 seconds. Cooldown time is 30 seconds. Effects can not be stacked.]

  Initially, he thought that Little Merchant had become more generous and immediately agreed to get some potions from him. Li Yi forgot now that most of the players had leveled up, their skills had increased, and the demand for potions had also increased.

  Even though there were many players who had learned how to make potions, there was still a shortage!

  Li Yi was a little curious. Since when did he become like a rich landlord who drinks potions like drinking water?

  …

  Li Yi prepared everything and walked out of the city.

  Emperor City was currently bustling with activity, especially at the city gates. There were players who shouted to form parties everywhere. In the past, he too had participated in this kind of activity, shouting and requesting to form a party.

  “I’m begging for an amazing Main Tanker. The request is for all of you to increase your physical defense by 280+ points, and your HP by 1,300+ points!!!”

  “Looking for a strong warrior with high attack skills. My healing ability is extremely high. Why don’t we have a sweet double row and fall in love together!”

  “Come quickly… Huh? That’s the strongest player on the level ranking board, Carefree Dream! I’m begging to form a party with you!”

  “Me too, me too!”

  With Li Yi’s decked-out equipment, he attracted the attention of many people, especially with the ID above his head. Many players knew that this person was one of the stronger players.

  Li Yi hurriedly quickened his pace and headed out of the city. Once he was surrounded, it would be difficult for him to move even an inch.

  …

  Walking out of the Emperor City’s gates, he headed straight towards the west. With his current movement speed, it still took him an hour to reach the vicinity of the broken God’s Cliff.

  The closer Li Yi got to the cliff, the more the surrounding green trees began to wither and turn yellow.

  After walking for another ten minutes or so, the area in front of him turned into a dark and withered yellow world. All the trees and flowers in the surroundings looked sickly.

  Li Yi continued walking forward and soon arrived at the edge of a cliff. When he looked down, it seemed to be pitch-black and bottomless!

  Were one to stand further and observe their surroundings, one could deduce that the cliff seemed to be formed by someone’s sword.

  The official explanation said that there had been a world-shaking battle here before, but it had never specified as to who had participated in this event.

  Chapter 53: Special Situation at the Cliff, A Tsunami of Worms

  Li Yi looked at the edge of the cliff and soon saw a huge iron chain in the distance that led to the bottomless bottom of the cliff. This seemed to be the only method to reach the bottomless pit of the cliff.

  [System Notification: The bottom of the broken God’s cliff is extremely dangerous and contains a terrifying poisonous gas. Please be prepared before entering the site!]

  Li Yi was quite familiar with this notification warning, so he disregarded it and prepared to enter.

  He put the shield back into his backpack, then grabbed the iron chain with both hands and hopped to the bottom of the cliff. As time passed, the surroundings quickly became darker and darker.

  Li Yi immediately took out the illuminating gem and attached it to the top of his helmet. The surroundings immediately became as bright as day, and he could clearly see that the cliff wall was covered with black weeds.

  [Yin Poison Weed: Possesses strong yin poison, suitable for crafting some kind of strong poison!]

  This material was used to make some kind of poison. After it was successfully crafted, it could be smeared on weapons to fight against bosses or players.

  Nothing else happened along the way. After about ten minutes, he had reached the bottom of the cliff. Then, he let go of the iron chain and landed steadily on a huge rock that was surrounded by countless more yin poison weed.

  [System Notification: The bottom of the broken God’s cliff does not have light all year round, thus producing a large amount of poisonous gas. You have been invaded by the poisonous gas. This reduces 30 HP per second!]

  This was the specialty of this location — 1 minute would reduce about 1,800 HP for a player. If one wanted to enter this map, their HP and HP recovery speed would have to be high enough to contend the poison. Moreover, they would have to bring a lot of potions.

  Currently, most of the Guardian Warriors should have around 1,300 HP. With better equipment, they would at most have 1,600 HP. If they do not consume a Health Potion each minute, they would not be able to hold on!

  Li Yi on the other hand had enough HP to tank the constant damage, so he did not mind. This was why Li Yi did not call the others over, it would be fatal to the other players!

  Li Yi immediately got down from the huge rock and shuttled through a large amount of yin poison weeds, heading towards the distance. Very soon, he saw the creature at the bottom of broken God’s cliff.

  It was a worm. Its body length was about one meter. Its entire body was covered in a black hard shell. It twisted its body and crawled slowly with dozens of legs, just like a large thousand-legged worm.

  At this moment, this worm was happily eating the yin poison weeds and did not notice the intruder from afar.

  With a glance, the attributes of the monster were revealed.

  [Level 14 Yin Poison Worm (normal)]

  [Vitality: 20,000]

  [Physical Attack: 350]

  [Physical Defense: 250]

  [Magic Defense: 150]

  [Skills: Bite, Poison Spray]

  [Other skills: Attacks have a poisonous effect. For a short period of time, it can double the damage of the opponent’s poison gas invasion.]

  …

  The attributes of the monsters were not very strong, so Li Yi was not in a hurry to attack them. Instead, he quickly observed his surroundings to determine the situation because he knew that these creatures lived in groups!

  The most important point to take note of was that the attacks of these creatures could double the damage of the poison gas damage he was tanking. Moreover, this attack could be stacked.

  In other words, if these things attacked him 100 times, he would lose 3,000 HP every second. If he was surrounded by a large number of Yin Poison Worms, even he would not be able to take it out alive!

  Li Yi confirmed that there were no other Yin Poison Worms around and immediately activated his Charge skill. His figure turned into a streak of light and rapidly attacked the Yin Poison Worms.

  “-14,750! Critical Hit!”

  The Yin Poison Worms were immediately stunned on the spot.

  Combo! Critical Hit!

  “-940.”

  “-1,210.”

  “-4,132! Critical Hit!”

  A set of smooth and flowing strokes appeared. In just an instant, the Yin Poison Worm’s HP had been emptied.

  Li Yi went forward to check for any dropped items. There were only a few silver coins and nothing else. However, he was not surprised. After all, it was a normal-tier monster, so the chances of it dropping anything were not high.

  Li Yi continued to walk deeper. The Yin Poison Worms that appeared in groups of two and three could be easily dealt with. However, as he went deeper, the Yin Poison Worms became more and more concentrated. Finally, he found at least a hundred Yin Poison Worms that gathered together when he passed through.

  Countless Yin Poison Worms were densely packed and crisscrossed with each other. If a person with agoraphobia were here, he or she would probably have fainted in an instant!

  With so many Yin Poison Worms gathered around, it was likely that each one of them could spit out a mouthful of poison, and the speed of Li Yi’s blood loss would instantly increase to 3,000+ points per second!

  The light above Li Yi’s helmet shone over, and these Yin Poison Worms instantly became restless from the change in lighting. It was as if they were about to rush over and tear apart the intruders!

  Li Yi quickly turned off the illuminating gem, and the Yin Poison Worms slowly stopped moving.

  He had long understood this situation — Yin Poison Worms hated light very much. He now had an inkling idea on how to defeat these pesky worms.

  In theory, the illuminating gem item was invincible. No matter how much damage it took, it would not break!

  Knowing this, Li Yi chuckled. He took out an illuminating gem from his backpack and threw it at the center of the countless worms.

  The moment Li Yi threw the illuminating gem, it was like a piece of red-hot iron being thrown into the water. The hatred to destroy the light was instantly activated in all the worms and they all aggravatingly went to the light.

  The ear-piercing cries of the Yin Poison Worms meshed together. Countless Yin Poison Worms roared furiously, crazily shooting venom at the location of where the light was shining from.

  How dare this ball of light show its presence here. The worms were angered by the intrusion and shot out wave after wavers of venom, but they still could not cause any damage to this tiny illuminating gem!

  Li Yi quickly rushed over, raised his magic weapon high up, and directly used the skill Horizontal Sword Slash.

  In the past, when he used his magic weapon, the aura it dispersed out was all inky black. Now, his moves carried some golden light as well. The black and gold merged together, and it looked exceptionally gorgeous.

  He ruthlessly swung his sword around attacking the monsters. There was no need to aim at a single one, he just had to randomly slash around before a large number of damage figures flew up.

  “-1,124.”

  “-2,307! Critical Hit!”

  “-1,124.”

  Li Yi immediately let out a battle cry and his magic weapon suddenly trembled. Suddenly, a thick black demonic aura surrounded his body. The token at the center of his heart trembled slightly too as it let out a brilliant golden light at the same time!

  Black and gold, the two fused together and spread out in an instant, shaking the entire area!

  The weeds on the ground instantly shattered into nothingness. Huge bright red numbers flew up as Li Yi went on with his attacks!

  “9,715.”

  “19,603! Critical Hit!”

  “9,954.”

  …

  The terrifying energy emitted from Li Yi’s body caused the large amount of Yin Poison Worms around him to either be instantly killed or be sent flying far away. Those that flew away were either stunned or left with a bit of HP.

  This was the difference in leveling up one’s power. Even if it was just a small increase of one or two levels, it would still be extremely terrifying.
