MMO: Pierce Heaven Til' It Breaks

Chapter 823 - Power of the Ancient Gods

Panda Novel

As Jiaojiao had forbidden normal players from speaking on the National Channel, even Li Yi was kept in the dark about this for quite some time. He only indirectly learned of what had happened when the Huashan Sect’s donations began streaming in…

The newbies complained to the Queen and spammed the National Channel with insults aimed at Huashan, leading to quite the ruckus for a while. Eventually, Jiaojiao herself stepped forth to call for a truce, and she threw every member of the Huashan Guild into jail before the commotion finally died down.

After the Huashan incident was settled, they began to repair the major cities that had been destroyed. Since he had nothing better to do, Li Yi ran to the brigands’ hideout in the Pinewood where he unexpectedly bought a Colorless Crystal from the Quartermaster, Second Brother Zhang.

The Pinewood Quartermaster sold all sorts of strange knick-knacks, with the good ones being exceptional and the bad ones being horrible. Most of them were worthless and useless.

Li Yi had not come shopping here for a while now, and he just dropped by out of a whim this time. He had not expected to actually find something good.

The Colorless Crystal had no Attributes of its own, but it was extremely rare and precious, just like the Rainbow Diamond.

Just because it did not have any Attributes did not mean it was worthless. Rare gems like the Rainbow Diamond and the Colorless Crystal were especially important for quests and were occasionally required for leveling up professional skills. Add that to their extremely low supply, and it was only natural that the prices were always high.

Of course, to Li Yi as he was now, he only needed the Colorless Crystal for one thing.

To power up his Evil God Summoning Scroll.

The past few months, he had been leveling up and powering up the scroll at the same time. The scroll was now at 18%, and all he needed to bring it another step further was a single Colorless Crystal.

Li Yi had been looking for a Colorless Crystal for some time now, but it was just too rare, with much higher demand than supply. It was something that could not be bought with just money.

That was why Li Yi was ecstatic that he could buy a Colorless Crystal at the Pinewood brigands’ lair. After he bought it, he immediately placed the scroll on the floor and tried to upgrade it.

The magical formation began to glow…

“The Evil God’s Glorious Light will illuminate the world!”

Li Yi threw his arms wide open and changed the incantation…

The clear silhouette in the scroll shone slightly, reacting to the Colorless Crystal. In an instant, the Colorless Crystal was absorbed into the scroll.

It was now 19% complete!

The image of the Evil God in the scroll grew even clearer. It had black hair, black clothes, and a beautiful face that looked vaguely similar to the God-queen Carulla.

“Could the Evil God and the God-queen be sisters? Did the Ruler of God lust for her beauty, leading to her exile into a different dimension?”

Looking at the Evil God’s image, Li Yi’s imagination ran wild…

Just then, the scroll revealed the next thing he needed to continue upgrading it: the Power of Ancient Gods.

“The Power of Ancient Gods?”

Li Yi was stunned for five seconds before his expression darkened.

Of course he knew what the Power of Ancient Gods was. It involved the Ancient Gods sealed away in those scrolls, just like the Thunder God Summoning Scroll he had recently used on the Assembled Gods Continent’s Celestial Capital. The strength he had used then was none other than the Power of Ancient Gods.

‘F*ck, I just used the scroll, but you’re only giving me this now? Isn’t that too little, too late? I just used the Thunder God Summoning Scroll, so where will I get another?’

Li Yi was utterly furious.

“Dark Wing, one minute from now, I’ll massacre the Invincible Continent’s Celestial Capital!”

Just as Li Yi was huffing angrily, Drifting Snow’s arrogant declaration made waves on the World Channel. He even posted the details of the Water God Summoning Scroll underneath his message.

“Just wait and see as your Celestial Capital drowns, hahahahaha! No one can save you now.”

Drifting Snow’s nose was three feet long. He seemed positive that the Invincible Continent’s Celestial Capital could not escape certain doom.

“Hahahahahahaha…”

When he saw Drifting Snow’s challenge, Li Yi burst out laughing and teleported back to the Celestial Capital, eagerly waiting for Drifting Snow to summon the Water God.

His Evil God Scroll required the Power of Ancient Gods for its next round of upgrades, and as though on cue, someone offered him just what he needed. Was it any wonder that he was over the moon?

30 seconds later, an enormous figure of the Ancient Water God appeared at the Celestial Capital’s Central Plaza. It just stretched its limbs slightly, and everything within a thousand square yards of the Celestial Capital grew dark.

The water attribute gathered around the Ancient Water God rapidly, and black clouds roiled in the sky, with thunder clapping in waves. It was already starting to rain.

“Dark Wing, this is what you get for launching an ambush on the Assembled Gods Continent. This is what you get for opposing me!”

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh—”

However, the enormous Ancient Water God had barely appeared for a few seconds and it had not even begun to destroy anything when a ray of purple light from the ground landed squarely on its body.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh—”

The Ancient Water God’s body began to emit white smoke, as though it was steaming. Its body shrank and shrank until finally there was a splash as water cascaded to the ground, whereas the Ancient Water God’s body had disappeared without a trace…

The Power of the Ancient Water God had been completely absorbed by the Evil God Summoning Scroll.

What did it look like when the best-laid plans fell apart before they could even start?

Well, this was the perfect example!

Drifting Snow was hiding in a corner and recording the whole thing, grinning from ear to ear as he waited excitedly for the Water God’s wrath to rain down, but instead, the incomparable Water God had vanished in an instant.

Drifting Snow was gobsmacked.

“F*ck, what the heck happened?”

“You know too much.”

A calm voice said from behind him, and as soon as he turned around, a blue Star Arrow embedded itself into his face.

Li Yi had a Divine Looking Glass, and while this device was always malfunctioning when searching for Territory players, it still worked about 10% to 20% of the time. Drifting Snow had been unlucky this time, because Li Yi only had to search for him once before he successfully located him.

“Ding!”

Drifting Snow dropped a Mysterious Egg, and Li Yi’s eyes lit up as he picked it up.

“F*ck you…”

Drifting Snow was still cursing Li Yi when he released his corpse on his own accord, forfeiting his levels to return to his home country.

He had seen seven or eight more Invincible Continent players running toward them. There were Dark Paladins and Vagabonds amongst them, so he had no choice but to swallow his rage and run lest they use Battle Resurrect on him.

Li Yi looked at the round, pure white Pet Egg in his hands and laughed. This had been quite a haul.

Not only had he obtained the Power of Ancient Gods without breaking a sweat, but he had also received an additional Pet Egg. This was much more fun than farming monsters on his own.

Now that the Evil God Scroll had reached 20% completion, another attribute had been activated.

[Additional Skill: Evil God’s Gift. Effect: Continuous mana recovery. Amount recovered is the user’s level plus 5. Current status: usable.]

[Additional Skill: Evil God’s Light. Effect: Reduces the attributes of all hostile targets within 30 yards by 5%.]

It reduced the enemy’s attributes, and while 5% was not a very noticeable difference, the advantage was that this Aspect skill had no cooldown times, so it could be used infinitely. In that sense, it was decent enough.

At the same time, in the Assembled Gods Continent Celestial Capital’s underground temple.

Drifting Snow knelt before Carulla, too afraid to raise his head.

“Foolish mortal, you disappoint me.”

Carulla’s voice was ice-cold and emotionless. A ray of divine light shot from her hand and hit Drifting Snow in the chest, knocking him into several backflips.
