MMO: Pierce Heaven Til' It Breaks Chapter 736 - Issuing an Announcement

With the Mermaid Queen’ singing still going on, Li Yi waited for ‘five minutes’ after ‘five minutes’ until eventually, Lil Chili and Qian’er showed up while snuggling against each other…

A Raging Firestorm rose, quickly luring away the monsters encircling Li Yi.

More than three hundred monsters surrounded Qian’er but due to Raging Firestorm’s repelling ability, they could not come any closer. They could not get close to a Raging Firestorm user unless the user’s mana ran out.

Qian’er did not need help from Li Yi and Jiaojiao. When her mana was almost at its end, she leaped up high and used Flash in midair, creating a white light as she escaped the encirclement.

Qian’er raised both arms to activate the Awaken Skill. By the time the demons surrounded her again, she had already recovered 50% of her mana.

“Zshuu~ Zshuu~”

Flames soared into the sky with the return of the Raging Firestorm…

Li Yi and Jiaojiao stood aside, acting as spectators while Qian’er took care of all three hundred plus monsters…

Ding! Ding!

A golden ray flickered over the trio at the same time. The slaughter of all these monsters had granted them a level up.

Jiaojiao was at Level 109, Li Yi at Level 117, and Qian’er was at Level 113.

Li Yi pointed at the scattered equipment on the ground. “Lil Chili, go pick up the equipment.”

Jiaojiao was defiant. “Why me?”

Li Yi extended his arm. “If you don’t want to do it, let’s play rock, paper, scissors.”

“Let’s play then.” Jiaojiao was not going to back down.

With over three hundred monsters, plenty of items had dropped. There was enough to form a huge pile. It would take at least ten minutes to pick them all up.

“I’m going with scissors, to cut you.”

Before the game, Li Yi told Jiaojiao.

“Humph, trying to disrupt my judgment, not going to work!”

“Rock, paper, scissors!”

Li Yi really went with scissors, while Jiaojiao gestured rock…

“Alright, you won…”

Li Yi helplessly shook his head and staggered along to pick up equipment.

“Hahahahahaha…” Jiaojiao placed her hands on her waist and laughed delightedly.

The best equipment dropped by the demon monsterlings was the Apex Equipment Set but it had a lower drop rate than the Commander Equipment Set. Out of over three hundred monsters, only two Apex pieces were dropped, the rest were average Blue, Green, and Gold Quality equipment.

There were a dozen items with the Holy attribute, so it was a decent harvest.

After the collection, the second round of farming monsters began.

Based on their previous experience, there was no need for Li Yi and Jiaojiao to run around luring monsters. He could just summon Freya to sing a song and lure the surrounding monsters over. The amount she could lure was several times higher than the pair of them could.

It also saved time, energy, and effort. After each ma.s.sacre, Li Yi and Jiaojiao would play rock, paper, scissors. Their matches mostly ended with Li Yi losing.

With Freya luring the monsters, the trio farmed monsters faster than ever. Finally, Li Yi reached Territory Level 30, putting him at Territory Rank 1.

Compared to when he had no Territory Rank, the Territory barrier unleashed by Li Yi had an increased range of 80 yards and became more solid.

While Qian’er recovered her mana, Li Yi released his Territory barrier, turning the demons into zombies. Qian’er no longer needed to jump and escape with Flash, for throughout the whole time channeled Awaken, no demons came close to her.

Li Yi, having been upgraded to Territory Rank 1, was farming monsters with even greater ease.

Recently, there was a change in the World Level Rankings. Lonely Semi City had finally surpa.s.sed Li Yi, taking first place at Level 118.

Li Yi, who was at Level 117, placed second.

Was Li Yi grinding slower than Lonely Semi City?

No. Li Yi focused most of the EXP he obtained for farming monster into upgrading his Territory Level. Lonely Semi City, on the other hand, was not a Territory Master. The EXP he obtained from farming monsters was solely used for leveling up. On the surface, it seemed that Lonely Semi City had won.

The next day, Li Yi and his party continued farming monsters and after the fifth batch of monsterlings, the Wrath of the Stars in Li Yi’s backpack began to twinkle.

The upgrade of his Orange Quality Bow proved to be more difficult than before. Whenever Li Yi asked the G.o.ddess, she answered his query with, “I need time…”

“G.o.ddess, is it almost done?”

“I need time…”

The Wrath of the Stars continued to sparkle but there was no change in the Hunter G.o.ddess’ reply. It was still the same old, I need time…

It should be soon.

Giving it a thought, Li Yi issued a simple announcement in the Alliance Channel, “We’ll tackle the Seventh Demon G.o.d after three days. Alliance members who have completed 80% and above of Miracle of Will, please register with Fire Ice.”

80% Miracle of Will was the minimum requirement to kill the Seventh Demon G.o.d.

The announcement sparked excitement within the Iron Alliance.

Since the opening of Foreignland, the Iron Alliance did nothing but farm monsters and grind levels repeatedly. They were bored out of their minds.

“Tackling the Seventh Demon G.o.d three days later. Hahaha, I have 100% on Miracle of Will. I pa.s.s!”

“F*ck me! I’m only at 70%. Can I still do it? Does anyone know? Please tell me.”

“Of course, you can. You can look for the NPC in the quest. Forget the skill and reset the quest.”

“What? F*cking h.e.l.l…”

“f.u.c.k me…”

“No way…”

“Bawl! Only three days? I’m out of luck.”

It was a lively scene within the alliance as Little Drunk Cat’s No. 1 secretary, Fire Ice was suddenly occupied with work. Ice may not have much skill in gaming but her ability to straighten out the finances, manage members, and calculate data could put Little Elf from the Magical Realm to shame. The a.n.a.lytical duties handed to her by Li Yi had never gone wrong.

After Li Yi made his announcement, he contacted Brother Windcloud Nine.

“No problem, I have been waiting too. So, it’s decided then, let’s do it after three days!”

The Iron Alliance and the Windcloud Clan were allies. The chances of one guild taking out the mighty Seventh Demon G.o.d were not great but a collaboration between the two guilds would increase the success rate tremendously.

The news that the Iron Alliance and the Windcloud Clan were teaming up to defeat the Seventh Demon G.o.d immediately spread through the gaming servers. It was impossible to keep such a huge event under wraps as there were too many people involved.

By nightfall, influenced by the news, the remaining major force in Pantheon made an announcement.

“After three days, the Fluttering Snow Alliance will join forces with Reigning the World, a.s.sembled G.o.ds, Legendary Tribe, and Three Major Guild Alliance to kill the Seventh Demon G.o.d!”

It was the same three days later; The Fluttering Snow Alliance had chosen the exact same time as the Iron Alliance.

The Seventh Demon G.o.d was not a dungeon boss and only one existed in the whole of Pantheon. The Fluttering Snow Alliance’s announcement was a clear demonstration against Iron Alliance. Pure provocation.

It was either your heads or ours!

Li Yi had sought the Windcloud Clan for help while the Fluttering Snow Alliance took a bold step by teaming up with four major guilds.

“I thought that motherf*cker, Defiantly Tyrannical didn’t see eye to eye with Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut? Why did he cooperate with her?”

“How fu*cking weird! That old geezer’s rather surly, he never relented for the three years he fought with our Iron Alliance. What’s up now?”

The Iron Alliance’s channel was buzzing with discussion.

The Three Major Guild Alliance’s collaboration with the Fluttering Snow Alliance did not just leave the Iron Alliance members wondering, Li Yi himself found it bizarre.

Back in his past life, the relations.h.i.+p between the Three Major Guild Alliance and the Fluttering Snow Alliance has been tense for eight long years, eventually breaking out into war. What was going on now? Why did they become allies?

Thoughts ran through Li Yi hard and in the end, he instructed Shen Lang to investigate.

Three Major Guild Alliance may have been suppressed by the Iron Alliance, but they maintained significant strength. They were merely overshadowed by the Iron Alliance’s glorious radiance.

Shen Lang’s was swift with his investigation. Li Yi asked him to look into it at night and the report was out the moment he logged in the next day.

“Someone asked Defiantly Tyrannical to provide aid to Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut, but their collaboration limited to this one time.”

“Someone? Who’s the person capable of moving that stubborn mule?”

“I’m not sure. I could only gather that this person isn’t from the Fluttering Snow Alliance.”

“Mm, alright, thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

With two more days before the battle with the Seventh Demon G.o.d, Li Yi did not farm monsters with Jiaojiao and the others. Instead, he went to the Ninth Continent to clear a dungeon.

Li Yi had already prepared the 10 Rainbow Diamonds required for 15% progress in the Evil G.o.d Summoning Scroll. The next upgrade, however, required another 30 Rainbow Diamonds, which made him hesitate.

Although Freya discovered 200 Rainbow Diamonds for him, he never thought to use them all on the Evil G.o.d Summoning Scroll. After all, its potential was still uncertain. With the priority now on Attribute Infusion, Li Yi decided, after much thought, to put aside upgrading the Evil G.o.d Summoning Scroll. He would only upgrade the scroll when he got his hands on a large number of Rainbow Diamonds.

The dungeon Li Yi went to clear was called the Mystery of the Stars. This was a Level 90 10-man group dungeon. There were five bosses and the boss to clear was Stargazer Ayrgaren.

With Li Yi at Level 117, he was not the least bit interested in any equipment from the Mystery of the Stars dungeon. He was here because of a quest distributed by the Hunter G.o.ddess to have him kill Stargazer Ayrgaren and collect a Star Fragment.

This was a quest to break the seal on the Wrath of the Stars.

“Stargazer Ayrgaren carries a Star Fragment. This was the missing Star Essence needed during the creation of the Wrath of the Stars. Please bring it to me as soon as possible!”

Hence, Li Yi went alone to Mystery of the Stars dungeon to kill Stargazer Ayrgaren.

It was too easy for a Level 117 to clear a Level 90 dungeon. Li Yi readied his normal Purple Quality Bow to fire as he went in. The monsters could not even get close to him before they died.

The first four bosses were instantly killed by the combination of Water Clone and Powered-up Arrow. Soon, Li Yi had reached the end of the dungeon and was met by Stargazer Ayrgaren.

Stargazer Ayrgaren had a rather peculiar appearance. Its body was composed of a semi-transparent star pattern. Li Yi seemed to be looking at a mini version of cosmic stars.

Legend has it that Stargazer Ayrgaren was a mysterious creature hand-crafted by Ruler of G.o.d. However, due to its weak powers, it was abandoned by Ruler of G.o.d.

Tch tch tch tch tst —

His Water Clone unleashed a Powered-up Arrow together with Li Yi, putting Stargazer Ayrgaren to death with one shot.

Li Yi walked up and bent down to loot the corpse…
