“Let him leave,”
Qiu Hao, the person in charge of the Tianxia Pavilion on Solar Star, scanned the departing President Sun of the Sun Family Guild from Neutron Star with an emotionless gaze, “With one less person sharing the profits, we can take a bit more.”
“Just as the rewards for pioneering new lands always belong to the brave forerunners.”
“Cowards do not deserve to taste the delight of the first crab.”
Only then did he look towards Chen Yi, who was in the center of the conference room’s large screen, with a mix of expectation and scorn in his eyes, whispering softly, “Even the strongest ant cannot raise its head to see beings of a higher dimension. I hope you can use that skill one more time and bring us endless surprises.”
...
“Is this the 100th floor of the Deadly Tower?”
Above Sky Demon Star.
Chen Yi furrowed his brows as he surveyed his surroundings. He did not act rashly but instead looked towards the map on his personal panel in the top-left corner, feeling somewhat puzzled.
Wasn’t the 100th floor of the Deadly Tower a bit too large?
At first glance, the area on the map seemed to have no boundaries; he had never entered such a vast map before, one that was countless times larger than the Wasteland map he had been to.
A mass of black clouds hung in the sky, the distance to the ground appearing to be less than a hundred meters, giving off an immensely oppressive vibe as if the sky might collapse at any moment.
The visibility was also very low.
You could even see dense red particles of dust floating in the air, thickly scattered throughout, and just taking a single breath felt as if you had swallowed a mouthful of quicklime, causing an intense burning sensation in the throat.
The ground was a blood-red color,
As if perennially drought-stricken, like a farmer’s hands, riddled with unrepairable cracks.
The whole map emanated a choking sense of oppression.
And just then—
A monster suddenly burst from the ground. Its head was triangular, with an eye at each tip. The moment it saw Chen Yi, it let out a piercing scream and then almost invisibly transformed into a red light, rocketing towards Chen Yi!
B-level Prop “Forever Pure” activated!
B-level Prop “Flowers of the Other Shore Bloom” activated!
B-level Prop “Snow Eagle Sniper Rifle” activated!
B-level Prop “Seven-Star Badge” activated!
C-level Skill “Annihilated Violators” activated!
C-level Prop “...”
The instant the monster charged at him, Chen Yi didn’t hesitate to activate all the props and skills on his person—whether they were useful or not, he activated them all.
He even activated skills meant for daily life.
Unlimited cooldown anyway, no worries about usage limits.
One more activation didn’t make any difference.
And that monster, which had turned into a red stream of light charging toward Chen Yi, barely started its attack when it turned to ash and dispersed in the air, dead without a place of burial!
At the same time, Chen Yi heard a notification by his ear.
“Ding, congratulations on killing a unique monster of Sky Demon Star—a lv.1 Cave Demon, you are hereby rewarded 10 points.”
“Hmm?”
Chen Yi’s brows furrowed slightly as he looked at the notification that popped up with a bit of confusion. Sky Demon Star? Sounds like a planet? But wasn’t he on the 100th floor of the Deadly Tower? What’s the deal with Sky Demon Star?
But soon,
He no longer had the luxury to muse on this matter, as perhaps the dying scream of the first monster attracted more. Ten monsters sprang from the ground around him, all shrieking upon their emergence and lunging forward in a sprint!
But... there were too many monsters.
The swarming creatures engulfed Chen Yi like an Insect Calamity, and all one could see were countless monsters turning to ash and scattering in the air every moment, to the point where even Chen Yi’s silhouette was no longer visible.
Facing a horde alone, he fought against a tribe!
As the number of monsters continued to increase, even Chen Yi, on full firepower, seemed to be struggling, mainly because his C-level skill, Annihilated Violators, was ineffective against these monsters.
Though the monsters looked the same, they had no blood ties.
In other words, these monsters were created individually, not born from a maternal creature.
For this situation, his C-level skill was utterly useless, which greatly weakened his AOE attack. Moreover, these monsters not only had immunity to most physical attacks, they were also extremely fast and highly damaging.
“Puchi!”
In a moment of distraction.
Chen Yi suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back. Looking down, he saw a blood-red bone spur had pierced through his body from behind, chilling him to the core. Subsequently, the monster that had ambushed him quickly turned to ash and died.
The bone spur also turned to ash.
But the wound remained.
“Absolute Purity.”
The wound had only just appeared when it instantly healed perfectly, as if nothing had ever happened apart from the pain.
As long as the damage wasn’t instantaneously fatal, he feared nothing.
Even decapitation didn’t matter. If a shred of consciousness lingered the instant his head was severed, which lasted only a brief period, it was enough time to activate “Absolute Purity.”
And instantly, everything was restored.
For him, in full open-fire mode, only a direct beam of cosmic light turning his body instantly to ash could inflict a fatal injury. Any other fatal damage was ineffective against him at this moment.
But even if the wound could heal instantly and perfectly, the pain couldn’t be eliminated.
And the monsters were bringing considerable pain.
These monsters had far surpassed the capability ceiling of Blue Star players; no wonder they only required the killing of 10 monsters. For an average Blue Star player, killing even one would be challenging.
As he killed more and more monsters, even more began to appear around him.
He didn’t know how many monsters he had killed.
He only knew that his Points Balance was skyrocketing at an exaggerated pace, earning 10 Points per monster killed, and the monsters that died by his hand numbered well over a million!!!
His vision was now obscured by blood, and he could hardly see his surroundings, already accustomed to the occasional stabbing pain.
Eventually...
He didn’t know how much time had passed.
The number of monsters around him dwindled until, after slaying hundreds, no new ones emerged.
Unlike at the start, where killing one monster would bring forth more.
Three minutes later.
The surroundings finally cleared up.
Wearing his tattered costume and covered in blood, Chen Yi floated in mid-air, his hair matted with dried blood, looking extremely disheveled but no one watching dared to look down on him.
Even if they were enemies.
Such power... was nothing short of terrifying.
No monster corpses could be seen around, having all been reduced to ash, while the ground was covered with slowly glowing items, almost like a blanket of snow.
This represented a fortune that would make anyone extremely envious.
