With the boss’s defeat, Lin Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Just a moment ago, as he was empowering the four Zhuxian Swords.
The situation had almost spiraled out of control.
The tiers of the four weapons had been raised, but the Zhuxian Array Diagram, being a lower tier, couldn't keep up. This caused his damage to plummet, and even some of the weapons fell out of their divine domain state.
Fortunately, the opponent was startled by the tier-raising effect, giving Lin Feng a buffer. It also allowed him time to consecutively upgrade the Zhuxian Array Diagram, enabling Lin Feng to finally finish him off with the Kaitian Supreme treasure-grade Zhuxian Sword Formation. Otherwise, the outcome of the battle would have been uncertain.
The death of this boss also signified Lin Feng’s successful completion of the first area upon entering it. The final rewards were what Lin Feng anticipated the most.
“You have defeated the Heavenly Dao Saint, demonized Shi Xin Venerable.”
“You have obtained 20 billion points of Chaos Immortal Power.”
“You have obtained 180,000 Law Points.”
“You have obtained 20,000 portions of Primordial Violet Qi.”
“You have obtained 200 portions of Heavenly Dao Power.”
“You have defeated a Heavenly Dao creature by exceeding your level. You have received an additional 200 billion points of Chaos Immortal Power, 1,800,000 Law Points, 200,000 portions of Primordial Violet Qi, and 2,000 portions of Heavenly Dao Power.”
“The effect of the [Innate Five Directions Banner] is activated. You have obtained 440 portions of Heavenly Dao Power.”
“The effect of [Trial Experience] is activated.”
“You have ultimately obtained 1.32 trillion points of Chaos Immortal Power.”
“You have ultimately obtained 660,000 portions of Primordial Violet Qi.”
“You have ultimately obtained 880 portions of Heavenly Dao Power.”
Apart from the Heavenly Dao Power, which Lin Feng found satisfactory, being 200 times more than the drop from the pseudo-Heavenly Dao Saint, the Chaos Immortal Power and other gains were not significantly higher. Only with the boost from the Trial Experience did the numbers look decent. However, even with amplification, this item only had three uses, and two had already been used. Without obtaining new ones, the remaining one needed to be used cautiously.
With the final boss defeated and rewards received, this area was successfully cleared.
“You have cleared the Beginner Heavenly Dao Saint-level creature area in 29 minutes and 38 seconds.”
“You have obtained 800 portions of Heavenly Dao Power.”
“Your death count is less than 2.”
“Your time taken did not exceed 45 minutes.”
“You have received certification for perfect clear.”
“You have received an additional 800 portions of Heavenly Dao Power.”
“You have successfully challenged a temporary area for the first time. Reward: 800 portions of Heavenly Dao Power.”
“This area will be converted into a permanently existing area. Re-entry will not require additional Primordial Violet Qi.”
“The effect of [Trial Experience] is activated.”
“You have received an additional 100% of Heavenly Dao Power.”
“You have ultimately obtained 4800 portions of Heavenly Dao Power.”
So much? Lin Feng was pleasantly surprised. The total Heavenly Dao Power he had accumulated was now close to that of some ordinary Heavenly Dao Saints. While still far from the legendary Heavenly Dao Saint he had just fought, this rate of increase made Lin Feng no longer fear Heavenly Dao Saints. If the beginner level yielded such generous rewards, what about the intermediate level? Lin Feng clearly remembered that only upon the death of Epic and Mythic-grade bosses in the enhanced Tongtian Creation Tower could there be a chance to drop treasure chests. He was eager to know what good things such a high-level boss treasure chest could contain.
“Do you wish to permanently consume 100,000 (-75,000) portions of Heavenly Dao Power to establish an Intermediate Heavenly Dao Saint-level creature area, with the highest tier being an Epic Heavenly Dao Saint boss? Upon completion, you will receive an additional 2,000 (+6,000) portions of Heavenly Dao Power.”
Although the rewards were generous, the cost made him smile wryly. He only had a total of 10,218 portions of Heavenly Dao Power. Even with over 6 million portions of Primordial Violet Qi converted, totaling over 10,000 portions of Heavenly Dao Power, he only had just over 20,000 points in total. This was even with the effect of the Innate Five Directions Banner allowing him to convert ahead of time, defying the norm for a non-Heavenly Dao Saint. After a 75% consumption reduction, he still needed 25,000 portions to open the next area. Lin Feng took a deep breath. It seemed he couldn't rush things.
Fortunately, this area had been converted into a permanent one. He could challenge it once every day. The rewards from each boss and the final bonus were not insignificant. If he could achieve a perfect clear every time, he would gain nearly 2,000 portions of Heavenly Dao Power per run. At this rate, he could open the next area in about ten days. Of course, this was an ideal calculation. Heavenly Dao Power couldn’t all be spent on opening new areas. Without the boost of Heavenly Dao Power, how would he contend with Heavenly Dao Saint-level bosses?
Understanding this, Lin Feng stopped being anxious. He began to accumulate slowly. Each day, besides clearing the bosses that spawned in the wild, he would also challenge the creature areas he had created once. Moreover, he achieved perfect clears for all of them.
One month later, relying on the bonuses from scattered Trial Experience items obtained during this time, Lin Feng’s accumulated Heavenly Dao Power exceeded 150,000. Even without counting the temporary Heavenly Dao Power converted from Primordial Violet Qi, the directly usable amount was more than enough to open the Intermediate Heavenly Dao Saint area. He eagerly chose to proceed.
However, his first attempt at challenging it failed. In the previous beginner Saint area, the strongest legendary-grade boss only had slightly over 100,000 Heavenly Dao Power. In the intermediate area, the very first boss alone had 150,000. After Lin Feng managed to pass two stages with the help of his powerful artifacts, the third boss, with its 800,000 Heavenly Dao Power, completely suppressed him. He felt a sense of powerlessness, a force he couldn't resist even with divine abilities and artifacts comparable to his opponent's. The opponent's immense Heavenly Dao Power was like a mountain, crushing him to the ground, leaving him unable to rise. He was utterly defeated.
Although Lin Feng failed, he gained something. At least he now knew the strength of opponents at a higher level. It truly wasn't something that could be dealt with by a simple power-up. He estimated that the boss guarding the fourth and final stage likely possessed around 1 million Heavenly Dao Power. With his current strength, even if he passed the third stage, it would be difficult to make an impact on the fourth. Unless he could further upgrade his own artifacts. To elevate them to Kaitian Supreme treasure grade, each item would consume 1,000 portions of Dao Origin. Further advancement, Dao empowerment, would require 10,000 portions of Dao Origin. Even if he enhanced all his remaining Ginseng Fruits, and got lucky with several progress resets, it would still be difficult to achieve.
As Lin Feng was contemplating divine abilities and laws, *didi didi*! In his friend list, Lin Feng saw a message from War God Overlord Saber: “Brother Feng, save us!” Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed. He had just opened the message window, about to ask for details, when he saw that the sender was already offline. He quickly chose to go offline, filled with confusion. What could have happened that caused the entire team, whose strength was comparable to Saints, to be defeated?
