According to countless legends and the records of mythological history, the [Ruyi Jingu Bang] originally weighed 13,500 jin, which was enough to show how powerful it was. With the infusion of spiritual power and the boost from Ye Tian's Ruyi Sweep, its strength had long since surpassed this level.
That level-30 Silver-level Boss, the Hellfire Qilin, had originally intended to forcefully withstand this power.
But in the next moment, the protective barrier surrounding the Qilin was utterly crushed with overwhelming force. It did not even have time to let out a scream before it was smashed into a mass of flesh.
At the same time, energy fluctuations from the other four illusory Golden Cudgels continued to ripple outward. The powerful Ruyi Sweep spread in all directions, and its terrifying force instantly sent the surrounding seawater surging.
The several hundred level-10-to-30 Qilins surrounding them were all crushed beneath that dreadful power. In an instant, every one of them was reduced to ashes.
Light flashed, and the corpses of those Qilins transformed directly into countless gold coins, experience, equipment, and other items, scattering across the ground.
This scene had occurred because the power of Ye Tian's Ruyi Sweep was simply too terrifying.
One had to understand that Ye Tian's current strength had been enhanced by the Ruyi Jingu Bang, Chang'e, Little Dragon Girl, and even the power of the Ruyi Sweep technique. With all these layers combined, even a level-35 Boss would be unable to withstand it.
That Hellfire Qilin and the surrounding Qilin soldiers were, at most, as powerful as the [Hellfire Qilin]. How could they possibly resist such a terrifying attack?
An extremely thick smell of blood spread through the air at that moment.
At that instant, heaven and earth fell silent, resembling a wasteland beneath the apocalypse.
The surface of the sea churned, but the seawater had now turned completely blood-red.
No one spoke.
Even the players, including Tycoon Rich, who had rushed over after hearing the news, could not help but widen their eyes when they saw what had happened.
This scene was simply too shocking.
At that moment, the World Channel slowly refreshed.
[World Announcement]: The [Qilin Clan]'s attack on the Dragon Clan has been thwarted. Player [Ye Tian] has annihilated 100 Qilins. Let us congratulate him!
[World Announcement]: The [Qilin Clan]... Player [Ye Tian] has annihilated 300 Qilins. Let us congratulate him!
[World Announcement]: The [Qilin Clan]... Player [Ye Tian] has annihilated the level-30 Silver-level Boss, Hellfire Qilin, dealing an extremely heavy blow to the Qilin Clan. Player [Ye Tian] has made an outstanding contribution in this battle and earned the Dragon Clan's favor. Let us congratulate him!
Three World Announcements exploded across the channel in succession. At that moment, countless players went completely wild.
"What the??? Can someone analyze this? What exactly is going on? What level is Ye Tian's strength at? He actually managed to annihilate 300 Qilins and even kill a level-30 Boss?!"
"For fuck's sake, he's only level 15 right now! He hasn't even reached level 30. He's an entire realm and 15 levels behind. How did he manage that?!"
"The key point is that the Qilin Clan invaded the East Sea Coast. Doesn't that mean the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans' Hegemony has officially begun?! If it's starting now, that's not good news for us Chosen Ones, is it? What are we supposed to do next?!"
"Don't even mention it! I'm at the scene right now. Tycoon Rich brought me to the East Sea Coast earlier, and the moment we arrived, we saw dragons of the Dragon Clan fighting frantically against shrimp soldiers, crab generals, and countless Qilins. Under those circumstances, we also saw player Ye Tian. That guy used only one move to annihilate so many monsters. It was so damn frustrating!"
"Then why didn't you guys go up and fight? If Ye Tian could withstand them, there was no reason you couldn't, right?!"
"Don't stand there talking without knowing how hard it is! You weren't at the scene, so how would you know? The lowest level among the Dragon Clan and Qilin Clan members was level 10, while we were only level 8 at most. How were we supposed to fight? And it was a chaotic battle involving so many people. Were you hoping all the players would get wiped out?!"
"But how did Ye Tian manage to annihilate monsters stronger than himself? That doesn't make any sense, does it?"
"He received the [Ruyi Jingu Bang] from Little Dragon Girl..."
"Holy shit!"
For a time, the World Channel was in complete uproar. Countless players discussed the matter. Players who had not gone to the East Sea Coast originally thought that these ordinary players were simply too cowardly and had been afraid to go scavenge corpses to increase their strength.
But once a player mentioned the Ruyi Jingu Bang, those people instantly fell silent.
Damn it, that hurt just thinking about it!
He had obtained a Ruyi Jingu Bang after only a few moves. With such a terrifying Divine Artifact, what was there to fear?
Thus, at that moment, countless people became envious, jealous, and resentful of Ye Tian.
At the same time, Ye Tian could not be bothered to pay attention to them. The most important thing now was to keep raising Little Dragon Girl's favorability and deal with the current situation.
Just as he was thinking this.
A pleasant notification sound suddenly refreshed.
"Congratulations! You obtained 3,000 Experience Points!"
"Congratulations! You obtained 10 years, 5 months, and 30 days of cultivation!"
"Congratulations! You obtained 20 years, 6 months, and 30 days of cultivation!"
"Congratulations! You obtained 50 years, 10 months, and 12 days of cultivation!"
"You leveled up. You reached level 16!"
"..."
"You leveled up. You reached level 20!"
"Congratulations! You obtained 100 years, 5 months, and 3 days of cultivation!"
At that moment, pleasant notification sounds continuously refreshed beside Ye Tian's ears, while one notification after another caused white beams of level-up light to flash around his body.
After all, that single strike had annihilated more than 300 Qilins, including a level-30 Boss who was one of First Qilin's subordinates. Naturally, the experience and cultivation he obtained were extremely generous.
However, at that very moment.
A much more powerful tremor appeared in the void, accompanied by an utterly terrifying pressure.
Before long, under the command of a Qilin powerhouse, another subordinate of First Qilin appeared in the void: the level-32 Silver-level Boss, Windfire Qilin. It brought a full 500 Qilins with it as they swept over in overwhelming numbers.
They spun through the air, terrifying flames burning all around them. Under their furious gazes, flames erupted simultaneously, forming a massive fiery net the size of a football field that came crashing toward Ye Tian!
