The news of Li Shathen entering the dungeon spread very quickly and alarmed the entire Great Xia Kingdom.
Buzz!
Everyone was somewhat dumbfounded. Leaving at this moment wasn't a good choice because traces of dimensional creatures had appeared in the dungeon.
This was not something that a Destruction-Grade player could fight against.
At the same time, many people realized that some of the Apocalypse realm experts who were overseeing the Great Xia Kingdom had left. Their whereabouts were unknown. There was a high chance that they had entered the dungeon like Li Feng.
"They're looking for an opportunity to break through!" Someone sighed. Ever since they knew that the Sky Blue Planet lacked dark matter energy, everyone had been searching for a chance to break through.
Everyone knew that although Li Feng had slaughtered his way out of the battlefield with an illustrious reputation, without a Source-Rank expert present, the Sky Blue Planet would sooner or later collapse.
Even though the creatures of the other regions were shocked now, that was because the true experts had yet to descend. Otherwise, it would be a different face.
"No matter what, Li Feng has already bought us time. I hope they can all obtain something and break through to the Origin realm as soon as possible," said someone.
The truth of Li Feng's departure was irreversible. Right now, the people of the Great Xia Kingdom could only pray that these experts who had entered the dungeon could break through and return.
At the same time.
Many people from the other regions also received this news.
However, they didn't make any rash moves. After all, Li Feng had just left. If they provoked the humans now, what would they do when Li Feng returned in the future and settled the score with them one by one?
It was not only him. The people who had descended from the Goblin Kingdom were the same. As for the Ancient Fey, they had gone into hiding and did not take any drastic actions.
"Use soft policy. It can't be too intense. Hmm, postpone the banquet for the time being." Taotie transformed into an elegant young master dressed in a white robe. He held a fan in his hand and shook his head thrice with every step, as if he was a noble young master who had crossed over from ancient times.
This retro attire stunned some humans.
However, the actions of these foreign creatures also made the people of the Sky Blue Planet feel much more at ease. At the very least, there would not be any bloodshed for the time being.
This is a relatively peaceful development phase.
…
…
King's Valley!
In an open forest, three people were running crazily. It was two men and a woman. At this moment, their faces were pale, and their clothes were stained with blood. They fled like three streams of light.
Behind them, a tall creature holding a broadsword was chasing after them. This creature was extremely terrifying. It had a lion's head and a human body. It was tall and majestic, and its body emitted a powerful aura. It was faintly about to reach the Destruction Rank.
His gaze was cold and revealed a bloodthirsty expression as he chased after a few prey.
"No… I can't hold on anymore. You guys can escape. I'll stop him for a while and fight for your chance to escape."
A weak voice sounded. It was the woman among the three.
"Chen Hong, if you want to escape, let's escape together. Most of your methods are currently on cooldown. You can't stop him for long. Let's fight to the death. We might still have a chance," said a man beside her.
They had originally entered the dungeon to train themselves and comprehend the Destruction Energy. However, they had been killed by dimensional creatures and were in danger.
The last man said, "Sigh, if I had known, I wouldn't have taken the risk."
In the past, he was the one who had suggested entering the dungeon. However, he hadn't expected that there had been a violent change in the Destruction-Grade dungeon recently. Many Destruction-Grade dimensional creatures had appeared, and there were even more terrifying existences that made their life source tremble.
They had wanted to retreat from the dungeon, but they had been targeted by a creature that was close to the Destruction Rank and were trapped here.
"There's no need to blame yourself. The decision this time was made by us. Cough cough…" The man beside him coughed, and a large amount of blood flowed out of his mouth.
"That's right. Instead of feeling remorseful, why don't we fight it out with this creature? Perhaps we can kill our way out of this alive," said Chen Hong with a cold tone, as if she was pressing forward with an indomitable will.
Buzz…
The three of them stopped in their tracks at the same time. Space trembled, and a wave of wind swept across the surroundings.
"Haha... Why didn't you three little crawlers escape? There was no fun at all."
The terrifying dimensional creature chased after them and stood in the void, looking at the three of them as though it was sizing up its prey.
As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Hong and the others had extremely unsightly expressions. Sure enough, the Lightning Gobzan was playing a trick on them. If they had used their full strength at the beginning, they might have died.
"Although you guys have given me some fun over the past few days, since you're not escaping, then you ants can die!" The lion-headed creature said coldly, its voice filled with killing intent. Then, it raised the broadsword in its hand and slashed at the three of them.
The terrifying sword qi rippled in the air, and dense cracks appeared in the surrounding space. Then, the ancient trees on the ground were sent flying and rocks exploded.
"Sacred Shield!"
"Absolute Defense!"
"Nature Cluster!"
Chen Hong and the other two roared at the same time. A transparent wave of light appeared in front of them and blocked their path. Then, a violent wind flew out and turned into a curtain. Finally, vines extended out and formed a semi-circle bird nest that covered the three of them.
"What a desperate struggle!"
Lion Head sneered as the speed of the broadsword in her hand suddenly increased. With a bang, the first thing that shattered was the layer of light wave that scattered like a mirror. Then, the broadsword collided with the green curtain.
In an instant, the violent wind stopped, and the green curtain was broken. However, the sword force did not reduce at all as it fell straight down!
Boom!
The void trembled as the nest formed by the vines was shattered. Chen Hong and the others fell back like injured geese, spitting out blood. In the end, they smashed through more than ten ancient trees before landing on the ground.
The three of them were soaked in blood, their auras indistinct.
"It looks like… we're all going to die here today," said Chen Hong sadly. Now that the dungeon had changed greatly, no experts dared to enter the dungeon. It was impossible to ask for help.
The other two also felt despair.
"You really are weak humans. After I kill you, I'll step into your planet and kill other humans." Lion Head spoke coldly like a high and mighty god.
Chi!
The broadsword descended from the sky like a beam of divine light. It was incomparably sharp as it slashed at the three people's heads.
Chen Hong and the others closed their eyes and waited for death to arrive.
Bang…
Just as the broadsword was about to sever their heads, the space beside them suddenly split open like a plane. A large hand reached out and blocked the broadsword.
Clang! A metallic sound rang in the air as sparks flew.
"What?" Chen Hong and the other two saw that death had yet to arrive. They could not help but open their eyes and see this shocking scene.
That terrifying broadsword carried with it a terrifying power that could shatter gold and shatter rocks, cutting apart a huge mountain. However, right now, it was grabbed by a hand.
A terrifying cold wind blew towards them, causing their hair to dance behind them. The three of them were stunned.
"Who are you?" The Lion Head asked coldly. "No matter who you are, you deserve to die for daring to appear in front of me and ruin my business!"
This creature was very hostile to humans. When it saw Li Feng, not only was it not afraid, it was also extremely excited.
"You're courting death!"
Upon seeing this, Li Feng's expression turned slightly cold. He could feel a dense killing aura from this lion head. It was unknown how many humans had died in his hands.
"You're the one looking to die. Die and become blood…" The lion-headed expert laughed loudly. He wanted to take out Li Feng's broadsword and give him a slash, but his words suddenly came to a halt.
It was because he discovered that he couldn't extract the broadsword at all. It was as if an Immeasurable Mountain was suppressing it, stopping it in midair.
"Roar!" He roared angrily. Giving up on drawing his broadsword, he threw a punch at Li Feng. Terrifying waves of air rippled out.
Li Feng suddenly threw out the broadsword in his hand. It spun in the air and collided with the other party's fist like a light wheel.
Bang!
A shocking sound rang in the void. A look of disbelief flashed across Lion Head's face. Then, his arm broke inch by inch and exploded. The light wheel smashed into his body, blasting him hundreds of meters into the air. His body shattered into pieces and fell to the ground in a rain of blood.
Chen Hong and the rest had just collected their thoughts when they saw such a shocking scene.
Previously, this lion-headed expert had chased them until they had nowhere to go and nowhere to go. Now, they were killed in one strike.
"Thank you for saving my life, Senior. Are you a Destruction-Rank expert?" Chen Hong asked in a trembling voice. She looked at Li Feng. He was an unfamiliar expert that didn't match the Destruction-Rank experts she knew. He was too young.
However, at the Destruction Rank, one's lifespan would increase greatly. Thus, it was not surprising that some people would age again.
Li Feng shook his head and said, "Sort of. You don't have to call me Senior. Just call me Li Feng."
In fact, according to the Class system of the players, he was still at the Awakened Rank. According to the Immortal Dao system, he could be considered to have stepped into the Destruction Rank.
Chen Hong was a little puzzled as she had never heard of such an expert. However, she did not dare to ask too many questions and said, "Senior, have you recently risen to power?"
The three of them had already entered King's Canyon for a few years, so they did not know anything about the changes in the outside world.
"Yeah."
Li Feng was stunned for a moment. Then, he nodded and said, "Have you guys stayed in the dungeon for several years?"
Chen Hong and the others nodded. Then, a man said, "That's right. I'm ashamed to say this. We've already been training here for three years, but we still haven't comprehended the Destruction Energy and stepped into the Destruction realm."
Li Feng suddenly understood when he heard that. After all, almost everyone in the outside world knew his name. It was very difficult to not know his name.
"Senior Li… Did something big happen in the outside world?" Chen Hong did not dare to call Li Feng by his name and could only add the prefix.
At the same time, she vaguely sensed something. This was because the dungeon had changed greatly recently. Many unfamiliar experts had appeared.
"Yes, there have been many changes. It even affected the dungeon. Now, a group of people from the other regions have descended." Li Feng explained briefly what had happened during this period of time.
After hearing this, Chen Hong and the others were dumbstruck, and they were stunned.
It had been three years. It was as if they had been isolated from the world for hundreds of years. However, there were actually foreign creatures that had descended from the outside world and could reach the Sky Blue Planet without passing the dungeon. This news shocked them.
"Are there people from the other regions running wild outside now? Then isn't our situation very bad? Are there any experts who can punish those creatures from the other regions?" Chen Hong hurriedly asked with an anxious expression. She had family living in the outside world, so she was afraid of encountering a calamity.
Beside him, the young man was very pessimistic as he said, "That's not likely. There are so many Destruction-Rank dimensional creatures in the dungeon now, so the situation in the outside world must be even worse. It's extremely bad. It's unknown if the humans can survive this disaster."
"With the appearance of the gods, how can we humans resist them? Furthermore, we have no way of breaking through to the Origin realm. We're destined to be broken through," said the last person bitterly.
Chen Hong felt a wave of despair, and she felt that her life was hopeless.
Li Feng was a bit speechless. They blamed him for not explaining it too clearly. The few of them began to imagine things. In their imagination, the humans in the outside world were living very miserably.
"Previously, there was a great slaughter, but an expert on the Sky Blue Planet also killed a few people from the other regions. Thus, the Great Xia Kingdom welcomed a peaceful period of time," explained Li Feng patiently. The main reason was that he had just arrived at the King's Valley and wanted to find someone to understand the changes here.
Although he had gathered a lot of information about King's Canyon before entering, the dungeons had changed recently, and there might be changes. Thus, he needed someone to lead the way. This was also why he was talking to them.
"Damn it. You killed them well. These foreign creatures all deserve to die." After Chen Hong and the other two heard what had happened, they were extremely furious. Some foreign creatures were too ruthless. They had just descended when they slaughtered millions of people.
At the same time, they were filled with gratitude towards that expert.
"Senior, you came to the dungeon this time for a reason, right? I wonder what you want to do?" Chen Hong asked after calming down. She was very smart and knew that an expert like Li Feng definitely needed help with something when talking to them.
At this moment, the two young men beside him became alert as well. They spoke out one after another. As long as they could do it, they would definitely help.
"I want to know where the Hegemon's Forbidden Ground is." Li Feng didn't hold back and simply spoke.
"Senior, we don't know the exact location of the Hegemon's Forbidden Zone either." Upon hearing this, Chen Hong answered with a bitter smile. Then, she explained, "During this period of time, the entire dungeon world has been expanding rapidly. Many peaks and mountain ranges have appeared on the flatlands. The ground has been stretched, and some small streams are constantly expanding, turning into lakes. There is also the appearance of the sea. Now, this place is also an unfamiliar area to us. It might be an area that is familiar to us in the past. It might be thousands of kilometers away from the place we know of."
When Li Feng heard this, he was disappointed. His brows furrowed tightly. The changes in this world were too great. Even the Hegemonic Forbidden Area had shifted its position and was no longer where it was.
"The few of you should leave this place quickly. Right now, the dungeon is no longer suitable for you to train in." In the end, Li Feng said.
King's Canyon, which was originally a Destruction-Rank dungeon, had become even more terrifying. Destruction-Rank dimensional creatures could be seen rampaging everywhere.
Chen Hong and the other two exchanged glances when they heard this, and then they made up their minds. They were indeed slightly weak, and it wasn't suitable for them to continue staying here.
In the end, Chen Hong gritted her teeth and said, "Senior, I'm sorry that I couldn't help you. However, I already have thoughts of breaking through. It won't be long before I can step into the Destruction realm. At that time, I'll come and help you."
"You're about to break through?" The two men beside Chen Hong widened their eyes and spoke with pleasant surprise.
When these words were out, Li Feng was a little surprised. He hadn't expected that this person in front of him was about to break through. Then, he shook his head and refused the other party's good intentions.
A Destruction-Grade powerhouse really could not help him!
