Chapter 1357
Dao brother, it's done!
When Qiongqi had its head chopped off for the 88th time, Yu Cixue and the others finally managed the ten great restrictions.
Beams of light shot from ten directions, entered Qiongqi boss's body, and broke its immortal form.
At this point the boss no longer spoke, its blood-red eyes fixed tightly on Xiao Feng, fury blazing.
Xiao Feng felt a bit embarrassed seeing that, as the invincible buff was about to wear off, he said to Qiongqi: "Sir Beast God, you may now pass away; perhaps we'll meet again."
Then with a casual strike, he chopped off Qiongqi's head again.
Kid, you'll regret this!
Qiongqi let out its final roar.
【Dungeon Progress: 7/7】
A treasure chest and a clump of experience orb dropped, the battle finally ended, and the Myriad Monsters King did not revive again.
Yu Cixue trotted over, a little worried, and said to Xiao Feng: "Brother Dao, are you alright? This monster has been threatening you..."
Xiao Feng calmly said: "It's fine; I've seen venerable-level bosses before."
He's even faced things stronger than venerables; a beast god like Qiongqi can't scare him.
"Good... too bad I can't help you." Yu Cixue sighed.
Xiao Feng smiled: "It's just a dungeon, no need to be so serious. Come on, to the next stop!"
Saying that, he picked up the experience orb and exited the dungeon.
His level rose again; the 475-level dungeon gave rich experience, and with double experience bonus, the reward was not much worse than that of a 500-level dungeon.
However, the further he went, the lower-level dungeons gave increasingly less cultivation reward.
After exiting the dungeon, Xiao Feng, as usual, took nothing, doing charity by carrying the idle players; he could be called a great teammate of the Nine Provinces.
The group lit a return-to-city talisman, vanished from the spot, and then hurried to the next dungeon.
The 450-level challenge's target is the Crystal Palace; they went to sea to slay dragons.
But they only slew small dragons and shrimp soldiers and crab generals; they never saw a powerful dragon king, and the final boss was merely a quasi-adult azure dragon at the Nascent Soul stage, appearing in human form and only transforming into its true body during the fight.
These Eastern divine dragons felt much stronger to Xiao Feng than the winged flying dragons of the Elemental God Realm; their physical and magical attacks were both strong, and they also possessed tremendous law power, overturning rivers and seas, leaving Yu Cixue and the others half-dead.
After enjoying it for a while, having his fill, Xiao Feng then made a move to end the battle.
While fighting, he couldn't help but recall the sixth-tier Supreme Treasure Azure Dragon Chart; the azure dragon inside is a god-king-level boss, equivalent to a pure-blooded adult dragon among dragons, though not the strongest.
According to Yu Cixue, dragon kings are basically golden immortal-level beings, and even more powerful dragon emperors are of the Grand Luo level.
Moreover, rumors among NPCs say that in the myriad worlds there is still an ancestral dragon, a Dao-ancestor-level powerhouse, from whose single drop of essence blood all myriad dragons evolved.
Although there's no evidence for this, Xiao Feng believes the rumor isn't baseless; perhaps it's true!
Dao-ancestor level means that ancestral dragon exists not only in the virtual world but also in the real world!
Such a powerhouse, Chen Jie surely knows him, just unclear how they're related.
When thinking of the Azure Dragon Chart, Xiao Feng also happened to think of the Ice Deer.
That little female dragon, after obtaining the Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon, also increased its strength quickly; by the time he left the Elemental God Realm, it had already cultivated to the third transformation and could take dragon form.
Other dragons merely cultivate, slowly turning into human form.
She, however, started as a human with only a pair of dragon horns; cultivating, she slowly turned into a dragon…
Nor do we know what her parents are, how they gave birth to such an oddity.
After finishing the 450-level Crystal Palace, there's still the 425-level Ninefold Demon-Suppressing Tower.
The 425-level difficulty was already very easy for Yu Cixue and the others; they didn't need to go all out, just casually dealing damage could clear it.
But Xiao Feng would still act, speeding up dungeon runs to save double-experience time.
The nine bosses of the Ninefold Demon-Suppressing Tower together couldn't even last an hour before dying.
Then came the 400-level Ancient Imperial Mausoleum, exploring the tomb of the founding elder ancestor of the Taiyi Dynasty among the four great dynasties.
This tomb, for some reason, has recently spawned many zombies, requiring players to help investigate and eradicate the source.
Actually it's not a big deal; it's just that a prince of the Taiyi Dynasty failed to win the succession, hoping to scare himself into gaining his father's favor via ancestral manifestations, thereby seizing the crown prince position.
Unfortunately the old sly emperor didn't fall for it, sending players… so far he's dispatched at least 5 billion players to investigate this matter.
The instigator, the Eighth Prince, in the Primeval Imperial Mausoleum, has been killed an unknown number of hundreds of millions or tens of hundreds of millions of times, with diverse deaths: sometimes slain by sword, sometimes struck by lightning, sometimes smashed into fragments by puppets, and sometimes even eaten by spirit beasts summoned by the Beast Taming Immortal Master; the scene is extremely brutal!
Dying by Xiao Feng's hand was relatively dignified: a single sword qi pierced the heart, killing him instantly, the corpse intact, clothes un torn, preserving the prince's dignity.
After slaying the Eighth Prince, players can still pry open the founding emperor's coffin, pull out a treasure chest, and randomly open it for a prize.
Roughly speaking, the ancestral mausoleum of the Taiyi Dynasty has also been looted at least several hundred million times!
Afterwards come the 375-level, 350-level, and 325-level dungeons.
Compared to the magic world, the cultivation world's dungeons still differ greatly in style.
Most dungeons in the magic world are beasts and demons.
Meanwhile, in the cultivation world, more than half of the dungeons involve fighting people.
Either they are projections left by ancient cultivators, similar to the Six Saints Sect's 'remnant' dungeons, or they are story dungeons derived from the background of human civilization like the Ancient Imperial Mausoleum.
The remaining half is fighting demons and monsters.
The Myriad Monsters Kingdom, Demon-Suppressing Tower, Crystal Palace, Blood Demon Cavern, etc., are all of this type.
Relatively speaking, players still prefer fighting demons and monsters.
Because everyone subconsciously dislikes killing their own kind, even knowing those are just humanoid monsters set by the system with no real life, they avoid it if they can.
Killing demons and monsters not only reduces the inner anguish of 'killing people,' but also yields a sense of righteousness from 'exterminating demons,' making the experience obviously much better.
Xiao Feng and Yu Cixue and the others swept through, clearing all dungeons in just one day and four hours.
The 300-level, 275-level, and 250-level dungeons were still Xiao Feng slacking, with them carrying him through.
After all dungeons were cleared, Xiao Feng's level had risen to 422, nearly 423.
Using his idle farming to gain cultivation efficiency, after six days of double experience, 288+100,000 per day, he can improve again.
Although the experience needed for leveling up keeps increasing, his level hasn't only not been pulled closer by later players—instead, he's getting farther ahead as he progresses.
This is the strength of the Chaos Tree; although it hasn't fully matured yet, it already shows initial effects.
If it can be cultivated to its perfect form, the effect would be even more heaven-defying!
That's why Xiao Feng must obtain Immortal Crystals and cultivate them!
