Ye Yun, under the terrifying speed of the Golden Crow, headed rapidly in one direction. This was the good thing about the game; players didn't need to waste true essence to resist wind resistance caused by excessive speed. Mounts handled that.
"Master, I sense an uncomfortable aura behind us. Shall we go back and take a look?" Hei Yi, who had been watching the rear from the Golden Crow's tail, walked over.
The Golden Crow's wingspan was now a full kilometer. Its back was wide and flat, enough to serve as an airport runway on Earth.
"Heh heh, Little Hei, you'll get used to it. Perhaps some creatures are tracking the skill I just used. However, our main priority is to complete the mission. Everything else is secondary."
Ye Yun smiled at Little Hei's suspicious demeanor. Little Hei's current strength, along with his
The main purpose of coming to the Divine Realm was to complete the 'Revival of the Divine City' mission. Everything else was secondary, especially since only five to six days remained. While this seemed like ample time, this Divine Realm, spanning ten thousand kilometers, was devoid of any creatures. Finding the ancestral blood of the divine race in such a vast region would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Hei Yi stopped talking after hearing Ye Yun's words and sat down on the Golden Crow's tail.
Seeing the situation, Ye Yun remained silent. He withdrew his consciousness from the game, took a shower, and then re-entered. He then lay on the Golden Crow's back and dozed off. Six hours later, Ye Yun was awakened by Hei Yi.
"Who goes there? Do you not know that no one other than royal kin is permitted to fly within ten thousand li of the Domain City?" Ye Yun had barely regained his senses when a furious roar struck him.
Finally, he had encountered a divine race!
After flying for six hours, a distance of over eighteen thousand kilometers, he had finally met a living being.
About a kilometer ahead of the Golden Crow, a ten-man team of Griffin Knights blocked their path. They wore chainmail, their heads completely covered by helmets, revealing only their eyes and mouths. A greatsword and a round shield, about a meter in diameter, were strapped to their backs.
However, Ye Yun found it strange that the Griffin Knights' armor was less protective than no armor at all, as it was so economized in its use of materials. They wore no other clothing beneath the chainmail, leaving their thick arms and legs exposed to the air, and even the chest plates had an open design.
The exposed skin was covered in layers of black scales, resembling those of an ordinary pangolin.
Humanoid in form, with the skin of a beast?
"If you do not state your identity, we will consider you an enemy of our Atlantean Domain City!" the Griffin team leader shouted, drawing his greatsword and round shield as Ye Yun remained silent for too long.
"Hei Yi, handle them. Leave one alive," Ye Yun instructed Hei Yi. Hei Yi's current aura was identical to that of the divine race before them, and Ye Yun did not wish to reveal himself, so he let Hei Yi handle the situation.
"Yes!" Hei Yi had long been eager to showcase his current strength. Ever since Ye Yun acquired the 'Fire Refining the World' skill, his opportunities to act had been few and far between, a situation unbearable for a ferocious ant.
"My master is merely passing through and does not wish to be disturbed by you insignificant ants! You deserve to die!" Hei Yi leaped from the Golden Crow's back, unfurling his thin wings and hovering in mid-air. A terrifying aura swept towards the ten Griffin Knights.
"Regardless of how noble your master's status may be, is it nobler than that of our Divine King Kolo?" Hei Yi's imposing aura made them uneasy, and they quickly invoked the name of their Domain City's Divine King.
Boom...
-9800e
-9800e
Two massive damage numbers appeared above the Griffin Knights. Two divine beings instantly perished, their bodies slumped motionlessly on their griffins.
"System notification: Congratulations to player for defeating the European Divine Race 'Divine King's Guard,' gaining 30 trillion experience points, 1 Divine Stone, 1 Strength Manifestation Card, and a 5000-second reduction in the cooldown of the skill 'Golden Touch.'"
Divine Stone - the common currency in the Divine Realm. Players could exchange Divine Stones with the Heavenly Dao for Immortal Stones, Spirit Stones, and Gold Coins!
1 Divine Stone could be exchanged for 10 Immortal Stones! That was a trillion gold coins!
This harvest was quite good! Ye Yun looked at the divine beings in the air, his eyes filled with affection. Although the experience points were somewhat underwhelming for the title 'Divine King's Guard,' the wealth was astounding.
"Chitter-chatter, offending my master, let alone your Divine King, even the Heavenly Emperor himself would die!" Hei Yi flapped his wings, watching the two griffins, now riderless, fly away in panic. He turned to the leader and couldn't help but mock them.
"You... you dare to kill the Divine King's personal guards from my Kolo Domain City? My Captain will surely know. You are finished! Eleventh Detachment of the Personal Guards, attack!"
The leader's finger trembled as he pointed at Hei Yi, the scales on his arms and thighs standing erect. The griffin beneath him let out a furious roar, carrying him away from Hei Yi and directly towards the Golden Crow. Seeing the Golden Crow so close, a slight smile curled his lips.
Crackling...
-12000e
A massive damage number appeared above the leader's head. His health bar was instantly depleted, and the griffin beneath him suffered the same fate. Both divine being and beast, like a downed aircraft, plummeted from the sky, engulfed in black smoke.
"Idiot!"
Hei Yi couldn't help but mutter as he looked at the leader's remains, and then proceeded to kill the remaining seven bewildered divine beings.
"A survivor!"
Ye Yun, seeing Hei Yi in a killing frenzy, couldn't help but remind him, but he was still half a step too late.
"Which... Master, I got too carried away and forgot," Hei Yi said sheepishly as he returned to the Golden Crow's back, looking at Ye Yun's darkening face.
Damn it!
Since his promotion to seven-star, this fellow's agility had increased by 20%, his attack speed had quickened considerably, and his bloodlust had become even stronger than before.
"It's fine. Little Golden Crow, you're too useless. You have over three million health points now, and a mere divine soldier can still make you tremble in fear?"
Ye Yun, feeling frustrated, took it out on the weakest, Little Golden Crow, who felt incredibly wronged.
What was the difference between over three million health and a single drop of blood in front of these powerhouses? It would be a matter of seconds, wouldn't it?
"Continue forward, and ascend to the highest altitude!" Ye Yun said somewhat dejectedly, looking at the silent Golden Crow.
The ten-thousand-li range around the Domain City is a no-fly zone? That's either overbearing or grand! I like it!
