North, the land of quicksand.
On the crown of the god’s ancient tree, ten golden fruits exuded a soul-stirring aura.
Monsters with hideous faces charged toward the human-faced tree as if they had gone crazy on the quicksand that sank continuously.
The temptation of the golden fruit that could increase one’s potential was deep in one’s soul. No matter how strong one’s will was, it was hard to resist it.
One by one, the quicksand swallowed them. But the scene from last time reappeared.
The massive number of them piled up to form a passage.
Even the quicksand couldn’t devour all of them.
The void licker that stepped on its companion behind it dodged the devour of the quicksand and began to face the god’s ancient tree.
This boss, who had already reached level 14 and was just one step away from transformation, once again revealed its soul-strapping battle power.
It was invincible.
The dried branches with instant death properties were like the twisted arms of the undead. As they waved wildly, they tore through the air and exploded. It quickly smashed the charging void foragers into a pool of blood.
A meat grinder.
In the sky, after several venomous wasps reached 3000, they were strengthened and became killing machines.
They formed a dark cloud, advanced, and retreated together.
They flapped their wings like lightning and cut through the void like a razor. Under their high-speed flight, they pierced through the void lickers like a sharp arrows and left scars on the bodies of these monsters.
The terrifying poison invaded their bodies. And after two to three breaths, it would stiffen these monsters’ bodies. They would convulse a few times and fall to the ground. They could not get up, and the sand would swallow them…
The scene was fierce and violent.
When the god’s ancient tree wantonly massacred the enemies and devoured the dark energy to strengthen itself…
One by one, void hunters with long tails and twisted bodies appeared out of thin air around the god’s ancient tree.
These monsters swam freely in the void like fish in the water. The golden fruits locked their senses on the tree crown.
The void hunter’s body suddenly disappeared when several of its companions exceeded a squadron.
In the next moment, ferocious figures suddenly appeared on the crown of the god’s ancient tree.
They directly attacked it.
‘Rip!’
A series of sparks flew.
The sharp claws that could tear through steel left scratches on the twisted human-faced tree trunk. It did not cause any substantial damage.
The twisted human-faced tree showed some anger.
“Dirty bugs…”
A deep voice rang out like a muffled thunder.
At the same time, the dried tree trunk waved wildly. It was as if it drove away flies.
‘Hu!’
However, the void hunters were extremely agile as they swam in the void.
They were more than ten times more agile than the void lickers on the ground.
They could still use teleportation to leave if they couldn’t avoid it in time.
The god’s ancient tree noticed this and immediately pulled its roots from the ground.
Dozens of tree roots like steel whips launched a net-like concentrated attack.
The number of deaths of these glorious level 14 troops immediately began to increase.
However, the void lickers were too agile. They could not effectively kill it.
After they drew away its attention, the number of void lickers also increased. And the attacks on its massive godly body became more concentrated.
They looked down from the sky.
The void monsters were like locusts. After the human-faced tree pulled out the roots, the terrifying treants of more than 50 meters submerged in the center.
If a person with trypophobia were to do it again, they would probably be scared out of their wits.
In the air, the void hunters that swam around freely were like ferocious beasts that hunted. They seized the opportunity to attack immediately.
They could leave a mark on the god’s ancient tree each time.
Countless monsters besieged the twisted human-faced tree.
This scene was like an ancient mural on a church. It was supremely impactful.
The enemy could have drowned the twisted human-faced tree if it were ordinary.
However, the god’s ancient tree became increasingly courageous as it fought.
The yellow sand would devour the corpse every time it slaughtered a void monster.
The remaining roots grew hair-thin tree roots on the earth ridge. It covered the entire area within two hundred meters of the god’s ancient tree.
The thin roots were like a spider’s web. And the corpses that the yellow sand swallowed would directly stick to the root web.
The roots would immediately wrap around the corpse and devour it clean at the fastest speed.
The energy of the devoured flesh and blood returned to the body of the god’s ancient tree and healed scars.
At the same time, it reminded it of its strength.
It used the enemy’s body to support itself.
This boss was the only one excited about this battle in Twilight City.
At this moment, the enemy was its nutrients. They make the human-faced tree stronger.
It absorbs the dark energy in the void monster’s body along with the other party’s flesh and blood.
Its soul transformed steadily and firmly.
At the same time, the quicksand land under the god’s ancient tree gradually formed an increasingly closer connection with it as its energy dissipated.
In the end, no one knew what kind of existence this powerful boss would transform into before the final moment arrived.
Time passed quickly in the high-intensity battle. It was the sixth hour of endless survival mode.
The tens of billions of players had now fallen to less than 100 million.
The system cleared out over 99% of them in the instance dungeon.
At this moment, the players still in the instance dungeon were all the highest existences.
But even so, they still felt immense pressure. They expected an elimination at any time.
In the ninth hour of endless survival mode, the situation changed… The enemy got stronger.
The void licker, initially level 5 or 6, had now become a level 7 or 8 existence.
The pressure on the players began to increase.
The number of eliminations increased again.
One hundred million, 50 million, 10 million…
By the 12th hour, less than a million people remained.
On the 16th hour, the level 16 void hunter hero joined the attack.
This ultimate move caused the remaining players to fall to less than 10,000…
On the 20th hour, the level 17 void hunter hero appeared.
In less than 10 minutes, only 78 people’s time still moved on the survival ranking board.
The 22nd hour… The number of players left: one.
All the players who left the dungeon were speechless when they saw the dark ranking board.
They had initially thought they could survive some time in endless survival mode.
However, the system unexpectedly eliminated them in less than a day.
Only two people remained on the field.
That extremely familiar id was currently on a dark ranking board. It shone brightly.
Qingqiu!
[This pervert again!]
The other one was an ID that they had never heard of.
Steamed Bun Lover.
[Qingqiu again! It had eliminated tens of billions of people. Can’t you come with us?]
[F*ck! Level 17 void hunter hero. My strongest hero is only f*cking level 7… Guard your iron bucket.]
[I can’t accept it. Why were we eliminated? Why can’t we bring Qingqiu down? I don’t believe this guy can withstand such a terrifying attack!]
[I can accept Qingqiu is so strong. But who is that bun lover? He can block the attack of a level 17 void hunter?]
[If I had known that the attacking monsters were so terrifying, I wouldn’t have used my points to revive the troop. Now that I’ve spent my points and breached my territory, what the…]
Most of the players were extremely unhappy. They felt no sense of achievement in this survival mode.
They were the side abused.
There was no more drama to watch. The two people who survived the battle became the center of discussion.
Richard was fine. Everyone expected it.
Except for the bun lover they never heard of.
In the beginning, everyone thought the system would eliminate this guy soon.
However, as time went on, 24 hours, 30 hours… The bun lover was still there.
It immediately caused a heated discussion.
The forum’s attention was focused on [Stemed Bun Lover].
[Level 17 void hunter hero had already appeared in the 20th hour of the endless mode. Now that it’s been 30 hours.]
[I’m afraid it’ll be even more terrifying. That bun lover is a big shot to be able to survive…]
[Does anyone know about Steamed Bun Lover’s situation? Why didn’t I see this big boss in the arena last time?]
[Finally. There is a top player who can compete with Qingqiu. Hahaha, as long as he is not the number-one player in Qingqiu. I can accept anyone…]
They tossed words of discouragement against Qingqiu.
The world had been in misery for a long time.
Everyone had been under Richard’s thumb for far too long. And when they saw someone come out to compare with him, they gave Steamed Bun Lover the greatest encouragement.
Fortunately, there was no Livestream. Otherwise, the players on the forum would go crazy if they found out the truth…
The bun lover looked at the words of praise on the forum and was so happy that he couldn’t close his mouth.
His mood had never been so carefree before. He once again realized how correct he decided to hug Qingqiu’s thigh.
He didn’t mind about his strength. The key was that there had to be someone above him.
Richard ignored the news on the forum.
He scanned his surroundings with a solemn gaze.
After 30 hours of battle, the pressure the enemy gave him had become supremely exaggerated.
All the Twilight City troops engaged in the battle.
The skeleton blood dragon and the dark gargoyle behind him also joined in.
Although the pressure of an ordinary void licker was heavy, the one that made him the wariest was the void hunter hero.
Level 19.
After it killed the level-16, 17, and 18 void hunters…
A level 19 void hunter hero with B-rank potential had appeared a minute ago.
It was an enemy that they did not dare to act rashly against when they first entered the instance dungeon.
The powerful aura of the other party was like a monstrous wave that swept toward Twilight City.
They could feel the pressure from the other party even from hundreds of meters away.
Even though Richard was already level 13, the absolute leader among the players, he was still six levels lower than the void hunter hero.
They watched as the level 19 void hero led three squadrons of void hunters to attack.
Richard’s eyes were cold.
It could not face this powerful boss head-on. But he was never alone.
The Twilight city was his uttermost source of confidence.
He turned his body slightly and looked in a direction.
“Fay, don’t let that monster enter Twilight City.”
His words decided the life and death of the level 19 monster.
The dark valkyrie heard the order and looked at the incoming enemies.
She quickly floated up and came to the sky at the forefront of Twilight City without any change in her expression.
She looked at the void hunter hero that flew toward her.
The dark valkyrie was such a striking target that she immediately caught the attention of the level 19 void hunter hero.
At this level, he was the most powerful boss in the eyes of the current players.
The moment it was within a hundred meters, the other party let out a deep roar.
In the next second, the three companies of void hunters around it suddenly disappeared.
At the same time, a large number of ferocious figures appeared around the dark valkyrie.
They savagely packed and blocked the view from the ground.
Teleportation.
However, before the monsters could attack…
The dark valkyrie’s golden eyes instantly turned cold.
“Ant.”
The mysterious, advanced language was like a thunderclap that exploded in the sky.
The three-meter-long curved longsword in her hand suddenly burst out with endless blade light.
A dazzling blade aura suddenly erupted with her as the center.
It was as if the dark valkyrie had drawn her sword and slashed tens of thousands of times in an instant.
The void hunters that had just gathered around suddenly felt an indescribable fear in their hearts.
At this moment, the god of death stared at them.
She wanted to teleport away, but the short three-second cooldown of teleportation felt as long as a century.
‘Puchi!’
The blade light shattered the void.
The flower of death bloomed in the air.
Endless blade light tore the three squadrons of void hunters apart.
Broken limbs fell to the ground.
None of them survived.
[All-Encompassing Destruction (Beyond A-rank) — With the user as the center, it can unleash 10,000 blade auras, causing indiscriminate damage within a 100-meter radius.]
After it slaughtered 300 void hunters in an instant, the dark valkyrie raised her eyes slightly and saw the level 19 void hunter hero in front of her.
The light of the battle longsword in her hand bloomed again.
In less than a breath.
The sword radiance that could tear the sky and earth apart caused the surrounding space to distort.
Death approached…
The level 19 void hunter hero felt its blood run cold.
It subconsciously used teleportation to leave.
But the next moment, its soul seemed frozen.
It cannot use all skills.
Only a burning blade of light streaked across between heaven and earth.
‘Puchi!’
The level 19 void hunter only felt a sharp pain. And before it could understand what happened, it lost consciousness.
Instant kill.
[God Punisher (Beyond A-rank) — Consumes 3,000 vitality to deal ten times the damage. Within 300 meters, it will utterly hit the target. Cooldown time: 10 minutes.]
On the city wall.
The bun lover was on high alert the level 19 void hunter appeared.
They had thought this would be a supremely soul-devouring battle.
But in the blink of an eye.
Something reversed the situation.
The fear in their hearts was indescribable.
[That was level 19 void hunter!]
[Killed by a single sword?]
[Am I blind?]
[Can anyone kill level 19 heroes too?]
When they looked at the dark valkyrie again, her emotions were unspeakable.
It was shocking, crazy, unbelievable, and all emotions mixed inside.
Eventually, they were deeply amazed.
They initially thought the power of Twilight City was exaggerated enough. But at this moment, they still underestimated this territory.
She killed level 19 with a single sword.
It was like a dream.
And what trembled them most,
[The dark valkyrie was so mighty. How did Twilight City conquer her?]
[To make the dark valkyrie bow her head, does it mean Twilight City is more powerful than the dark valkyrie?]
