Chapter 1121

Under the ice-element damage of the chaotic ice river, players of all races around collapsed one after another.

Translation: "Under the ice-element damage of the Chaotic World Ice River, players of all races around collapsed."

Check: "players of all races" means players of all races; "collapsed one after another" means they kept collapsing. We'll keep it simple.

Although this skill's damage isn't famed for damage, being a Divine Punishment, its total damage over 10 seconds still falls short of a single segment of Origin Burst Technique.

Translation: "Although this skill's damage isn't known for damage, as a Divine Punishment, the total damage over 10 seconds still doesn't match a single hit of Origin Burst Technique."

Although this skill's damage isn't famed for damage, being a Divine Punishment, its total damage over 10 seconds still falls short of a single segment of Origin Burst Technique.

We'll produce concise.

But given Xiao Feng's terrifying attack power and talent, it is more than enough to deal with players of the same level.

Translation: "But under Xiao Feng's terrifying attack power and talent, it's more than enough to deal with same-level players."

Ah, what skill is this? How can its range be so huge?

Translation: "\"Ah, what skill is this? How can its range be so huge? \""

Damn humans, truly despicable!

Translation: "\"Damn humans, truly despicable! \""

Everyone, revive! The divine-level ancient treasure won't mature that fast; we can return and attack in an hour and still be in time.

Translation: "\"Everyone respawn! God-tier Ancient Treasure won't mature that fast; we can kill back in an hour and still make it! \""

All the surrounding enemies were dazed by Xiao Feng's ultimate move; some felt his terror and immediately lost heart, abandoning the idea of returning to contest.

Translation: "All surrounding enemies were dazed by Xiao Feng's one-handed ultimate; some felt his terror and immediately gave up, abandoning the idea of returning to fight."

But many enemies, fearless of death, quickly revived, wanting to return and fight again.

Translation: "But many enemies fearlessly resurrected quickly, wanting to return and fight again."

After the ice-element Divine Punishment cleared the field, only a handful of alien players remained alive around.

Translation: "After the Ice Divine Punishment cleared the field, only a handful of alien players remained alive around."

Some of them are immune to ice-element damage, while others, like Li Li, can avoid the skill's effect through special means.

Translation: "Some of them are immune to ice damage, while others, like Li Li, can avoid the skill's effect through special means."

However, with just a few of them, they couldn't stir up any trouble; under the long-range skill sweeps of Blind Sister, Battle Heaven, and Clear Wind Smoke Rain, they were quickly wiped out.

Translation: "But with just these few people, they couldn't stir up any trouble; under the long-range skill barrage of Mang Mei, Zhan Tian, Qing Feng Yan Yu, and others, they were quickly wiped out."

The enemies have been temporarily cleared, but this contest is far from over!

Translation: "The enemies were temporarily cleared, but this contest is far from over!"

Xiao Feng stepped forward and touched the red barrier; the system indicated that it still needed three hours to mature.

Translation: "Xiao Feng stepped forward and touched the red Spiritual Barrier; the system indicated it still needed three hours to mature."

"Three hours... that's long; it might attract some top players to come compete." Xiao Feng furrowed his brow.

Translation: "\"Three hours… that's long; it'll probably draw some top players to compete. \" Xiao Feng frowned."

Even if a hundred or a thousand ordinary alien players came, he would not fear them.

Translation: "Even if a hundred or a thousand ordinary alien players came, he wouldn't fear them."

But if the troublesome folks from the Ancestor Ship Star were also drawn here, things would become troublesome!

Translation: "But if the troublemakers from Zu Jian Xing were also drawn here, things would get troublesome!"

The glacier gradually disappeared, returning to a desert landscape.

Translation: "The glacier gradually disappeared, reverting to a desert landscape."

In the distance, faintly visible, more people were rushing this way; before long, they'd have to resume fighting.

Translation: "In the distance, faint figures could be seen rushing here; before long, another battle would begin."

Xiao Feng looked around and said, "Is there any way to cover this red-glowing barrier?"

Translation: "Xiao Feng looked around and said, \"Is there any way to cover this red-light-emitting Spiritual Barrier? \""

The red light emitted by the ancient treasure doesn't have to spread out; in certain environments it can also be concealed.

Translation: "The red light emitted by the Ancient Treasure doesn't have to spread out; in certain environments it can also be hidden."

Just like the Soul‑Devouring Magic Stone found earlier in the deep sea, its light is invisible on the surface and hard to discern even underwater.

Translation: "Just like the Soul-devouring Demon Stone found earlier in the deep sea, its light is invisible on the surface and hard to discern even underwater."

This desert surroundings have no natural barrier, but… we can try to create an artificial one!

Translation: "This desert surroundings have no natural barrier, but… we can try to construct one artificially!"

The red barrier is only a few tens of meters across; if we could create an opaque object to completely shield it, perhaps we could prevent other zones' teams from seeing it!

Translation: "The red Spiritual Barrier is only tens of meters across; if we could manufacture an opaque object to fully shield it, perhaps we could prevent other districts' teams from seeing it!"

"Ordinary skills last too short a time and disappear instantly; to block these lights for a long time, we need a stable shell to cover them." said Zhu Long.

Translation: "\"Ordinary skills last too short, disappearing instantly; to block these lights for a long time, we need a stable shell to cover them. \" Zhulong said."

"Hmm, I'll try see if earth magic works." Xiao Feng also thought of that.

Translation: "\"Hmm, let me try earth magic to see if it works. \" Xiao Feng also thought of that."

After the heavy earth element materializes, it can form a thick outer shell, perfect for blocking light.

Translation: "After the heavy earth element materializes, it can form a thick shell, perfect for blocking light."

Earth element, Xiao Feng is also quite familiar with it; he raised the Myriad Dragon Divine Staff, and the power of his divinity resonated with the earth, mobilizing the surrounding elemental forces.

Translation: "Earth element—Xiao Feng is also quite familiar with it; raising the Myriad Dragon Divine Staff, the power of his divinity resonates with the earth, mobilizing surrounding elemental forces."

A wisp of earth‑yellow airflow emerged, and under his control it drifted to cover the red‑light barrier.

Translation: "A wisp of yellowish earthen airflow emerged, and under his control it drifted to cover the red-light Spiritual Barrier."

The earth element in energy form still couldn't block the light; the red light pillar continued to pierce heaven and earth, blazing brightly.

Translation: "The earth element in energy form still couldn't block the light; the red light pillar continued to pierce heaven and earth, blindingly bright."

In the distance, two more teams arrived.

Translation: "In the distance, two more teams approached."

Seeing this, Sword Slaying the Seeing said, "Let's go engage the enemy first to buy Xiao Feng some time."

Translation: "\"Let's go meet the enemy first and buy Xiao Feng some time, \" Jian Zan Cangsheng said."

Having spoken, he stepped forth with his sword, breaking through the void to charge at the enemies.

Translation: "Having spoken, he stepped on his sword and tore through the air to meet the foe."

Zhang Fan and the others also mounted their steeds to fight, leaving only Xiao Feng behind in place.

Translation: "Zhang Fan and the others also mounted their steeds to battle, leaving only Xiao Feng behind."

Click click~

Translation: "Ka-ka~"

As the energy concentration increased, the earth element gradually solidified, creeping upward from the base of the red‑light barrier, inch by inch forming a thick earth wall.

Translation: "As energy concentration rose, the earth element gradually solidified, creeping up from the base of the red Spiritual Barrier inch by inch, forming a thick earth wall."

The earth wall extended along the barrier, becoming a new shell that encased it.

Translation: "The earth wall extended along the barrier, becoming a new shell that encased it."

Soon, the earth wall completely covered the red barrier, blocking the light.

Translation: "Soon, the earth wall completely covered the red Spiritual Barrier, cutting off the light."

Some intense red light leaked through, but it had become negligible; essentially it was concealed, so at least no red light pillar would be visible in the sky.

Translation: "Some intense red light leaked through, but it had become negligible, basically blocked; at least looking at the sky, there would no longer be a red light pillar."

It really works! Hahaha~

Translation: "\"It actually works! Hahaha~\""

Xiao Feng was overjoyed.

Translation: "Xiao Feng was delighted."

Since we can do this, in future explorations of the Ancient World we need no longer worry about being watched while camping for treasures.

Translation: "Since we can do this, in future Ancient World explorations we won't have to worry about being watched when camping for treasures."

As long as a layer of earth shield is placed over it, any heavenly‑earthly phenomenon will be hidden; others won't notice it, only they themselves can enjoy it exclusively.

Translation: "Just layer an earth shield over it, and any heavenly phenomena will be hidden—no one else will notice, only they themselves get to enjoy it!"

Perhaps players in other zones also have similar means to secretly claim the newly appeared ancient treasure. But that doesn't matter; as long as we can obtain the treasure ourselves, it's fine—Xiao Feng can't control what others do.

Translation: "Maybe players from other districts also have similar means to secretly seize newly spawned Ancient Treasures, but that doesn't matter; as long as we can get the treasure, it's fine—Xiao Feng can't control others' affairs."

The Ancient World is vast, with countless treasures; each zone will snag some, and we can't begrudge others for getting one.

Translation: "The Ancient World is vast, with countless treasures; each district will snag some, and we can't begrudge others getting one."

Building the earth wall took Xiao Feng almost a minute, by which time his teammates were already locked in fierce combat with the enemies.

Translation: "Building the earth wall took Xiao Feng nearly a minute, by which time his teammates were already fighting the enemies to the point of heaven and earth shaking."

In aerial combat, it's not just personal fighting strength that counts; flight ability and mount quality are also crucial.

Translation: "In aerial combat, it's not just personal strength that matters; flight ability and mount quality are also crucial."

Many players from other factions rely on their own abilities to move in the air; for example, the Mech Race automatically evolves crystal energy into flight capability upon leveling up, and the Beast Race, Plant Civilization, etc., are similar.

Translation: "Many players from other factions rely on their own abilities to move in the air; for example, the Mechanic Race gains flight automatically after leveling up as their crystal cores evolve, and the Giant Beast Race, Plant Civilization, and so on are likewise."

Only human players are a special case: after becoming gods they gain flying skills and can also obtain mounts.

Translation: "Only human players are an exception: not only do they gain flight skills after becoming gods, they can also obtain mounts."

Mount speed is beyond what ordinary players can match; a normal player's flight technique is only a few hundred km/h, whereas a mount easily reaches several thousand km/h, and even if it slows considerably in battle it remains extremely agile.

Translation: "Mount speed is beyond ordinary players; a normal player's flight technique is a few hundred km/h, while mounts easily reach several thousand km/h, and even if slowed in battle they remain extremely agile."

With this advantage, archers like Blind Sister and Battle Heaven can easily perform "mounted shooting," circling in the air to dodge skills and strike enemies unharmed.

Translation: "With this advantage, archer players like Mang Mei and Zhan Tian can easily play 'mounted archery', circling in the air to dodge skills and strike enemies unharmed."

Even melee players can release many skills while mounted; maneuverability slightly decreases, but mobility greatly increases, allowing them to engage or disengage at will, making them far better suited for group battles.

Translation: "Even melee players can release many skills while mounted; maneuverability slightly drops, but mobility greatly increases— they can strike or retreat as they please, making them better suited for group battles."

The enemies arrived in two teams: one was the Violent Ape Race players, also part of the Primate Civilization major zone, though they don't get along with humans and fight on sight; the other was a group of crystal beings, strangely handsome, and when killed their bodies shatter into many crystal fragments, looking extremely beautiful.

Translation: "The enemies came in two teams: one was the Fierce Ape Race players, also part of the Primate Civilization major district, though they don't get along with humans and fight on sight; the other was a group of Crystal Lifeforms, strangely handsome, and when killed their bodies shatter into many crystal fragments, gorgeous to behold."

The three forces clashed in mid‑air, their strengths roughly equal; whenever focused fire occurs, they can easily take down one opponent.

Translation: "The three forces clashed in midair, their strength roughly equal; whenever focused fire occurred, they could easily take one down."

Zhang Fan was unfortunately caught in focused fire, taking several big hits on both himself and his mount, and died on the spot.

Translation: "Zhang Fan was unfortunately caught in focused fire, taking several ultimates together with his mount and dying on the spot."

Li Li threw a sustained heal to his teammates, then began casting a resurrection.

Translation: "Li Li tossed a continuous heal to his teammates, then began casting to resurrect."

Several enemies then redirected their fire at him, but all their attacks missed, being dodged.

Translation: "Several enemies then shifted fire onto him, but all their attacks missed, being dodged."

Xiao Feng charged into the crowd on his great white mount, accelerating and joining the battle.

Translation: "Xiao Feng charged into the crowd on Da Bai, accelerating to join the battle."

His arrival turned what had been a fairly balanced three‑way melee into a one‑sided rout.

Translation: "His arrival turned the previously balanced three-way melee into a one-sided rout."

A single Origin Burst Technique followed by several Five‑Elements Metal Slashes wiped out the enemies entirely, easily ending the fight.

Translation: "A single Origin Burst Technique followed by a few Five Elements Metal Slashes wiped out the enemies, easily settling the fight."

After the battle ended, teammates turned back to look at the original position where the red light had been emitted.

There was a huge earth-yellow hemispherical cover there, as if a super-large earth ball had fallen into the desert, half-buried in the sand.

The red light was barely there, merely casting the yellow earth cover into a faint dark red.

Candle Dragon happily said: "Now we don't have to worry about attracting enemies; even if those who were driven away dare to come back, there aren't many groups."
