MMO: Pierce Heaven Til' It Breaks Chapter 819 - The Tides Have Turned

Li Yi could accept having the Huashan Sect join the Iron Alliance, but he would never accept Drifting Snow and Not Gray Wolf.

Iron Alliance was indeed shorthanded, and the millions of Elites from New Brotherhood would undoubtedly boost their ranks.

Alas, Li Yi could not take them in.

Li Yi had experienced Not Gray Wolf’s personality first-hand in the past life, and should Li Yi take the pile of rat sh*t into the alliance, chaos would undoubtedly ensue.

Iron Alliance was currently united on all fronts. Although their numbers were no match for Fluttering Snow Alliance’s, what mattered the most to an alliance was its unity. After all, would the players not come on their own if the alliance had continued to progress?

Drifting Snow and gang had a deep grudge against Iron Alliance. Should Li Yi accept them, would they not cause friction among the Iron Alliance’s ranks?

“I refuse!”

Li Yi’s tone was absolute.

“Dark Wing, I swear that you’ll regret this decision!’

After hurling those vicious words at Li Yi, Drifting Snow ended the chat.

Li Yi had long forgotten this exchange. After all, what could Drifting Snow hope to achieve against his current strength?

As a result, Li Yi’s choice had proven to be correct.

Not even three days had gone by when Not Gray Wolf had suddenly announced his decision to return to the Ninth Continent. He had joined Reigning the World and had abandoned Drifting Snow.

However, not many had followed Not Gray Wolf to the Ninth Continent. Compared to Drifting Snow, he was not all that influential.

By the time Drifting Snow had come back online, he noticed that all of the guild’s funds have already been taken away by Not Gray Wolf. Aside from that, he also realized that Not Gray Wolf had pilfered every single piece of equipment from the guild inventories.

Worse still, before Not Gray Wolf had departed, he had organized a fund-raising within the guild. When he left, he had taken away 500,000 Gold Coins away with him.

With that, Not Gray Wolf had severely crippled the New Brotherhood.

Without the equipment nor the funds to sustain the guild, Drifting Snow had no choice but to announce New Brotherhood’s disbandment a few days later, and all of their members were absorbed into a.s.sembled G.o.ds Guild.

This matter had no consequence on the Invincible Continent, but to the Fluttering Snow Continent, it was an extremely major event.

A few more days later, a.s.sembled G.o.ds’ newly appointed Guild Master, Amber Sword Heart had launched a Throne-claiming War against the Fluttering Snow Continent. Due to the absence of Fluttering Snow Alliance’s Guild Master, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut, Amber word Heart managed to take the throne after a grueling battle that lasted for a full day.

Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut was demoted, and Amber Sword Heart was now the King!

With that, Fluttering Snow Continent was now known as a.s.sembled G.o.ds Continent.

Many players maintained a fence-sitter att.i.tude when it came to playing the game. They followed whoever was the strongest as progression with the pros were usually quick and straightforward. Thus, when Fluttering Snow Alliance lost, many of these fence-sitters had opted to join a.s.sembled G.o.ds, causing their numbers to skyrocket.

On the fourth day of Amber Sword Heart’s ascension to the throne, he launched another war on the Ninth Continent. However, his target was not the Windcloud Clan, but rather, Reigning the World.

It was only due to Drifting Snow joining their ranks did the a.s.sembled G.o.ds have the confidence to challenge Fluttering Snow Alliance. Now that he had taken the throne, it was now time for Amber Sword Heart to fulfill his promise and avenge Drifting Snow.

Windcloud Clan stood idly by and watched as several of Reigning the World’s major cities were destroyed. In the end, Reigning the World could no longer take it and they were forced to kick Not Gray Wolf out of the guild.

Windcloud Clan refused to take him in, and Reigning the World had issued a kill order for him. As such, Not Gray Wolf was now like a pest that was hunted wherever he went, finding it hard to mix in with other players.

The hierarchy of power was constantly s.h.i.+fting within the Pantheon World. Just as Li Yi was neck-deep in Foreignland to level up, news came that Amber Sword Heart had gathered his men to launch a ma.s.sacre on the Invincible Continent.

Queen Jiao, Flower Underpants, Confused Fox, and the various brains of the Iron Alliance had exited Foreignland in order to set up the proper measures to intercept Amber Sword Heart.

Nowadays, wars between continents were actually just wars of money. Whoever that had the most money, and could withstand the expenses would be the victors.

Take Li Yi as an example. He possessed great individual strength, and with his partic.i.p.ation, the opposing side was bound to take a huge blow of expenses. Despite that, Li Yi was no G.o.d, and when the enemies prove to be too much, even he would find it difficult to hold them back.

Li Yi did not fear individual or group-based combats, but when faced with a locust-like horde of players; not just Li Yi, but any pro would go numb at the thought.

Amber Sword Heart was going all out in this war!

He had issued a King’s Order to mobilize everyone in the nation, and it was compulsory for everyone who was online to partic.i.p.ate in the war. Should anyone refuse to partic.i.p.ate, he would use his authority as a King to mete out punishment!

Even Fluttering Snow Alliance was not spared. Under Amber Sword Hearts’ order, they were unwillingly pushed to join the main troops and to partic.i.p.ate in the war.

Fluttering Snow Alliance dared not go against the King’s orders, otherwise, they could have been locked out of the major cities’ teleportation gates and be imposed with heavy taxes. Should that happen, they would be put in a major disadvantage.

The moment Amber Sword Heart let his army through the Abyssal Canyon Crevice, Li Yi appeared and summoned the Souls of the Ancient Kings along with the Imperial Guards.

Since Li Yi was at Level 185, the Ancient Kings and Imperial Guards he summoned were also of the same level. With these powerful summon beasts, Li Yi tore through Amber Sword Heart’s army and caused heavy casualties.

Li Yi’s opening act was extremely successful. With only minor effort, Li Yi managed to hold back Amber Sword Heart’s million-strong army.

However, would Amber Sword Heart have initiated a war against another nation if he was not confident in winning?

Just as the Ancient Kings and Imperial Guards were wreaking havoc among a.s.sembled G.o.ds’ troops, thousands of a.s.sembled G.o.ds’ Wizards worked together to unleash the Forbidden Curse, the Ice G.o.ddess’ Sigh.

Learning Forbidden Curses was easy, as players only needed to spend a few Gold Coins to learn them from any Skill Masters.

However, the cost of activating the Forbidden Curses was not something that everyone can bear.

Players needed to expend a vast amount of precious magical materials and a huge sum of money in order to activate them.

Just casting one Ice G.o.ddess’ Sigh would take at least a 100 million Gold Coins’ worth’s of magical materials.

Once Ice G.o.ddess’ Sigh was activated, the world before them turned white. After a hate-filled groan, all the opposing living things in an area of a thousand-meters was frozen solid.

This was what the Forbidden Curses were, powerful skills that killed enemies with a single cast!

The Ancient Kings were frozen, the Imperial Guards were frozen, and even Li Yi, who was observing the spectacle behind his summon beasts, was also frozen.

Ice G.o.ddess’ Sigh’s freeze lock lasted for two hours, and only after the freeze effect had ended would the beings that had been frozen would truly perish.

Since Li Yi was struck by Ice G.o.ddess’ Sigh, Li Yi was rendered useless within the time span of two hours.

However, this was only the beginning for Amber Sword Heart.

Millions of his troops advanced forward, and when they reached the Invincible Continent’s first major city, Wind Frost City, Amber Sword Heart gave the order to use the fire-based Forbidden Curse, Divine Inferno.

Another Forbidden Curse worth over a hundred million Gold Coins was used, instantly turning Wind Frost City into a sea of flames, destroying all the buildings within it along with its players…
