"Little Black, your methods are too bloody!" Ye Yun couldn't help but complain as he watched the black ant dismember its prey.
Fortunately, this was a game, and those disgusting things quickly disappeared.
"Master, I am a melee fighter, so this is unavoidable," the black ant replied awkwardly. If it hadn't licked its lips, Ye Yun might have actually believed it.
"Enough of that. Your actions have caused quite a commotion, and they've noticed." The black ant's killing of the one-eyed monster had activated the protective formation of Tianxing City, and also alerted the surrounding armies.
The city's protective formation pulsed with golden light, enveloping the entire city. All the divine race members within the city also glowed with divine radiance.
"System notification: Players, please be aware that your identity has been exposed, and you have been designated as an enemy by Tianxing City. All citizens and defense structures within Tianxing City can deal significant damage to you.
Current status of Tianxing City citizens: Attack +100%, Defense +100%, Health Regeneration Speed +200%, Divine Yuan Recovery Speed +200%. Equipment Effects +50%.
Current status of Tianxing City structures: Defense structure durability +100%, Wall durability +100%, Defense attack range, speed, and power +100%, In-city building durability +50%."
Holy crap!
Ye Yun was stunned by the system notification. Was this the effect of the city's protective formation? Was it really that terrifying?!
Most importantly, how much gold would it cost to upgrade the protective formation to this level?
Defense structures on the city walls of Tianxing City bared their fangs. Unfortunately, they were over two hundred kilometers away from the teleportation array in the city center, making them unable to attack Ye Yun.
Seeing this, Ye Yun breathed a sigh of relief. If the protective formation was this powerful, the arrow towers must not be bad either! But at least they hadn't reached a terrifying level like two hundred!
"The more there are, the more excited I get!" Ye Yun looked at the densely gathered divine race members, his true essence surging. These bunch of fools probably hadn't been in a real fight for too long, their reactions were a bit slow.
"Ascend! Ascend!" A massive roar echoed across the entire plaza, and a group of divine race members immediately took to the sky as the sound began.
The wind stirred, and fire erupted!
Although many of the divine race members fled at the sound of the furious roar,
Ye Yun's fire sea engulfed even more of the native divine race. Within a radius of a hundred kilometers, even the common divine race members who were watching from the periphery were not spared from the fiery barbecue.
"System notification: Congratulations to the player for killing 1.52 million common divine race members, 1.13 million one-star to three-star divine race members, 4.26 million four-star to six-star divine race members, and 890,000 seven-star and above divine race members. You have gained 119.31 trillion experience points, 61,230 Skill Manifestation Cards, 65,761 Ability Manifestation Cards, 284 Dao Rulers, 92,945 Godhead Fragments, 9.25 million God Stones, and 106 Cosmic Stone of Heaven. You have acquired the skill 'Nerve Secret Record' and the equipment 'Divine Source'."
"System notification: Player skill 'Eye of the Maker' cooldown reset. Congratulations, player, you can now use the skill 'Gold Touch' again."
"System notification: Congratulations to the player for killing ten million divine race members above five-star. Player title 'God Slayer' effect enhanced, and the 'God Slayer' function in the real world is automatically activated."
...
The system notifications came so fast that Ye Yun was overwhelmed. He hadn't expected such a large number of divine race members to be gathered in such a small area.
"Indeed, curiosity not only kills people but also gods!" In the end, it was the divine race members' strong desire to watch the spectacle that led them to gather here, benefiting Ye Yun.
"Bold demon! How dare you kill my academy's students! Die!" A gruff voice sounded again, and a myriad of multicolored lights shot from the sky like sharp arrows towards Ye Yun.
"Glorious King, obey my command and kill!"
"We respectfully obey the Dean's decree!"
"Generals of Tianxing City! Slay this invader!"
"We obey!"
The voices, grand and powerful, boomed like fierce bells throughout Tianxing City, scattering the clouds above.
"Master, look there." The black ant had been on high alert since killing the one-eyed monster.
Ye Yun looked up and saw, in the distant void, an unrolled scroll lying horizontally, emitting an aura that made Ye Yun's heart palpitate.
"What is this? The Mountain and River Map? Or perhaps the Wordless Heavenly Book?" Ye Yun looked at it, filled with doubt.
"Hmph, great demon, as soon as you killed Ke Luo, my teacher calculated that you would surely resurface after awakening! Therefore, my teacher, along with the eight Great God Kings, poured all their might into creating this ultimate move specifically designed for you!"
A scholar in white robes floated through the air, holding the scroll in his right hand, and looked down at Ye Yun on the ground with a cold smile. He was the Dean of Glorious Academy.
Beside him stood an old general in green armor, the Dean of Majestic Academy.
Behind them followed an endless army. Standing on the ground, Ye Yun saw the army's formation like a vast, dark cloud, its numbers immeasurable.
"Demon head"? You're the demon head, and your whole family are demon heads.
Ye Yun finally saw through the true nature of these divine race higher-ups.
"Dean Lian, Dean Xin, what is there to say to this great demon? In my opinion, we should seize this opportunity to keep him here!" Before Ye Yun could speak, a black silhouette with a long sword at its waist suddenly appeared beside the two old men. Apart from the sword at its waist, its entire form was hazy.
"Lord Mayor Kalo! Old man, I have the same intention." Upon seeing the black shadow, the two old men nodded slightly.
"Mayor Kalo's Zhen Tian Army must have been longing for war for a long time. For years, the people of Tianxing City have compared us two armies. This time, let's see whose warriors are stronger, my Majestic Academy's or your Tianxing City's Zhen Tian Army. And of course, the Glorious Legion." Dean Lian Tianchuan of Majestic Academy said, gazing intently at Ye Yun.
Historically, Majestic Academy focused on training warrior-class melee fighters and physical ranged attackers, while Glorious Academy specialized in ranged magical attacks and support.
"Haha, good! The loser treats everyone, a grand feast lasting three days without rest!" Kalo roared with laughter.
"Agreed! If we can kill this demon without using the fallback plan left by my teacher, it would be worth it even if we lose tens of millions of disciples. This bet is on." Xin Zhuangling looked at the scroll floating in his palm and said decisively.
"Haha, alright! Chong Tian Army, Zhen Tian Army, attack! Whoever kills the demon will be promoted three ranks and receive a million God Stones!"
As soon as Xin Zhuangling finished speaking, Kalo couldn't wait. With a wave of his hand, the two great armies suddenly appeared before everyone. The hazy aura around him vanished instantly, revealing his true appearance.
