Chapter 314: Heading To! The World Barrier!
In the evening, after having dinner with Liu Yunfeng and the others at the apartment, Li Xiang returned home alone.
"Phew... a fulfilling day, time to go online."
He climbed into the gaming pod.
Online!
...
He appeared in the wilderness. Since he had logged off in the wilderness, he appeared at the same spot.
Because logged-off players' bodies do not disappear, hundreds of Monsters currently surrounded Li Xiang, taking turns attacking him.
But...
All the damage was 0!
"Huh... there seems to be something in the combat log."
He opened the log.
"Ding! You have received a million attacks within 12 hours and gained the Ci Shen Ji (Sub-God-level) ability 'Body of Steel'."
"Holy crap! This works?!"
Li Xiang was shocked.
He just got a Ci Shen Ji (Sub-God-level) ability for free!
"Let's see what it does."
Body of Steel: When the same target deals damage to you ten times, subsequent damage will be reduced to half of the original (effect resets at midnight daily).
"What a powerful ability! A divine artifact for fighting powerful BOSSes!"
With this effect, no matter how powerful a BOSS is, as long as you withstand the first ten hits, the subsequent damage will be reduced by half!
Resets at midnight.
This means that once the same target accumulates 10 hits in a day, all their attacks for the rest of the day will deal only half damage!
Undoubtedly, a top-tier god-level ability for soloing BOSSes!!!
"Strong!!!"
"This will greatly increase my survivability on the Beautiful Country's server."
"Although... they can't do anything to me anyway."
He crushed the Hearthstone to return to the Guild Residence.
The members had also logged in one after another and started playing for the day.
Li Xiang called a meeting, rearranged some deployments, and then announced on the spot that he was leaving.
"President, please be careful. If you encounter a strong enemy, we will support you at any time."
"All five thousand members of the Gods Guild are ready to be deployed at any time!"
"President!"
Li Xiang looked around, "Don't be so sentimental. I'm just going over there to stir things up and check the situation. If things go smoothly, I might be back soon."
...
Leaving the Guild Residence, Li Xiang took out the token Chen Sisi had left behind. "This woman is really heartless, she didn't even come to see me off, and I can't contact her."
As he spoke, Li Xiang touched the ring on his hand. His connection with Chen Sisi had been cut off by Chen Sisi; he couldn't contact her...
"Forget it, I'll look for her when I get back."
"Ding! Do you want to initiate ultra-long-distance teleportation? The destination of this teleportation is extremely dangerous. Please make ample preparations before proceeding."
"Too dangerous, huh..."
"Demon Clan barracks... how could it not be dangerous..."
But...
Li Xiang gripped the token, "Teleport!"
The next second, a massive purple-black beam of light appeared, engulfing Li Xiang.
Another second passed, and Li Xiang opened his eyes.
He had already appeared in the Demon Annihilation Land.
"Ding! You have entered the hidden map 'Demon Annihilation Land'. This map is extremely dangerous. Players should leave as soon as possible."
The moment the system prompt appeared, dozens of streams of light emerged.
Then, a line of BOSSes radiating demonic energy descended before Li Xiang.
Li Xiang scanned them. They were all BOSSes with question marks over their heads.
No way...
The last time he came with Chen Sisi, there wasn't such a large formation, and they weren't intercepted either.
"Human! How did you get here?!"
One of the BOSSes finished speaking, raised the demonic artifact in his hand, and prepared to attack Li Xiang.
Li Xiang quickly took out the token.
"Seeing the token is like seeing the person. Do you know what this is?"
The Demon Clan BOSSes stared at the token for a while, then were startled. "This is... Chen Priestess's token?! How could it be in a Human's hand?!"
"Human, did you steal the Priestess's token?!"
"Damn Human, arrest him and send him to the Priestess!"
Another BOSS whispered, "Chen Priestess... seems to have been imprisoned by the High Priest in that place... Even if we arrest him, we can't send him there, right?"
"What do we do then?"
"..."
Li Xiang was also confused when he saw them suddenly start whispering among themselves. He thought he would get in smoothly.
What are they discussing? How to execute him?
He couldn't just die and go back right after arriving, otherwise, how could he face the Guild members who had just emotionally sent him off?
After thinking for a moment, Li Xiang immediately said, "I am the Priestess's attendant, ordered by the Priestess to go to the Kingdom Barrier... which is the location of the damaged World Barrier."
Hearing Li Xiang's words, the Demon Clan BOSSes looked at each other.
"It seems we did hear that Chen Priestess took a Human with a divine artifact as her servant."
"This guy has the aura of a divine artifact on him. It must be him."
"In that case, let him through."
A Demon Clan BOSS glanced at Li Xiang and said fiercely, "Human, here, you represent Chen Priestess. Don't do anything that would make things difficult for the Priestess."
Li Xiang took a deep breath, "I understand."
"Let's go, we'll take you to the teleportation array."
Afterwards, Li Xiang was led by several Demon Clan BOSSes to the location of the teleportation array he had visited last time.
It was still that old man. Li Xiang remembered his name was Bell.
After hearing his purpose, the Demon Bell nodded, "Go in."
After Li Xiang went in, he was immediately teleported away.
Bell watched the light of the teleportation array dim and sighed, "Chen Sisi, such a sharp young girl, how could she be so foolish as to challenge Budavich, the Dragon Slayer and the top of the Undead's Ten Great Generals, and even use the incredibly precious God Extinguishing Gu...
Causing the relationship between the Demon Clan and the Undead, which had just warmed up a bit, to plummet to freezing point. The King of the Undead exerted pressure and wanted to launch a large-scale attack on the Demon Clan. The Demon King was furious. To protect Chen Sisi, that old woman imprisoned her in the Demon Cave. Who knows when she will be released...
Without the young girl bringing me wine, I'm craving it..."
As he spoke, he stood up. The chains around his ankles rattled, and waves of dragon energy emanated from them, binding and eroding his body.
"Damn Human King!!!"
"Sooner or later, I will chop you into pieces!!!"
After roaring, the Demon Bell sat back down on his chair. "I wonder what achievements this Human kid can make, and if he can get the young girl Chen Sisi released..."
...
A distant place, the Demon Cave.
One day outside is a hundred days in the Demon Cave.
Here, there is no magic power, no life, and no reference points for the passage of time.
Dark and sunless, silent, a terrifyingly extreme silence.
At the bottom of the pitch-black Demon Cave, a frail figure knelt in the center. Suddenly, the ring on her finger emitted a faint ray of light.
A weak voice emerged, "Has he gone..."
With that, Chen Sisi looked upwards. Black... boundless black.
Only members of the Demon Clan who have committed grave mistakes are imprisoned here, losing all their magic power and enduring endless solitude in eternal darkness...
In the end, without exception, they either go mad or commit suicide...
"Chen Sisi, do you know you were wrong?"
A ethereal, aged voice appeared.
Chen Sisi shook her head, "High Priest... You can ask me a hundred times, and I still wasn't wrong.
But I was also wrong. I was wrong to challenge him when my strength was insufficient. I should have waited until I had strength like yours before going to kill him..."
The aged voice sighed, "Chen Sisi, I watched you grow up from a young age. What have you ever been able to deceive me about...
The Demon King's fury wasn't because you challenged Budavich, nor was it because you used the God Extinguishing Gu. A member of the Demon Clan capable of setting up ultra-long-distance teleportation arrays wouldn't be punished for such minor mistakes..."
"Your mistake was... giving your heart to a Human..."
"The Demon King himself spoke to me. You will be released when you sever the emotional shackles in your heart..."
"High Priest! I..."
"Reflect carefully... Neither the Demon King nor I want you to... follow in your mother's footsteps... Alas!"
Hearing this, Chen Sisi sat blankly on the spot, her eyes devoid of spirit.
After a long while, she whispered.
"Mother..."
"Was I wrong..."
