"The first on the Eternal Night Continent?"
How could the renowned Wind and Rain Tower, which had enjoyed such a high reputation for many years, be completely wiped out in some forgotten corner?
So many years.
The Wind and Rain Tower has many enemies, but no one has ever found the location of the Wind and Rain Tower's Headquarters. To this day, they still don't know where that Island is. They originally thought that the Shadow Pavilion's revenge was to take down the Wind and Rain Tower's shops in other City.
Unexpectedly...
The people around remained silent, their expressions complex as they looked at the four heads on the ground before them. Were all the people from the Wind and Rain Tower dead? Of course not, many members of the Wind and Rain Tower were still infiltrated into other factions.
However, there's no need to worry about these people seeking revenge.
Anyone with a sound mind wouldn't do that.
These people will lose their double identity and become legitimate members of the faction.
The Auction about to begin.
Chen Fan walked back into a house on the side of the street, his eyes slightly narrowed as he looked at the Sea Embryo in his hand. It was a rare and precious Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, with an extremely strange shape, somewhat similar to... a conch, but made of flesh, and warm to the touch.
Shao Qiu was unaware of how to store such Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
However, Wind and Rain Tower placed the conch in a jar filled with salt, and Shao Qiu brought the jar back with it. In fact, the way this Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures was stored was by wrapping it in salt and constantly stimulating it, a rather special kind of stimulation.
Currently, there are two buildings in the Camp that can be upgraded using "Sea Embryo".
One is the Spirit-Nurturing Pavilion, and the other is the "Heavenly Artifact Pavilion." He plans to prioritize upgrading the former to quickly improve the Cultivation of everyone in the Mortal Domain, while the latter is sufficient for the time being.
Moreover, it's worth mentioning that...
To upgrade the Vehicle Workshop to level 6, in addition to needing 20,000 Eerie Stone, one of several Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures is also required. He has just acquired a "Bone," which will allow him to upgrade the Vehicle Workshop to level 6.
After tonight's Auction ends.
Go back and upgrade the entire Camp.
In a deserted alley in Mortal City.
Shao Qiu gradually appeared, his eyes gleaming, and he suddenly clenched his fist, exclaiming excitedly, "Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!"
He hadn't felt this good in a long time since he was imprisoned by the Slaying Immortal Holy Land.
The soul returns.
Their strength has greatly increased.
He is stronger now than he was when he founded the Godslayer Hall.
Just then--
He saw Zhou Mo resting in a corner of the alley, and walked up to him with a satisfied expression, smiling, "Pavilion Master Zhou, why are you resting here? Has anything major happened in the Mortal Domain while I was gone?"
Zhou Mo looked up at Shao Qiu and casually said, "I've been running around all day, my legs are a bit sore. I'll squat here and rest for a bit. Nothing major has happened lately. Oh, there's one thing: Qi Yue has officially joined the Mortal Domain."
"Then he achieved a perfect breakthrough to the Martial King through Perfect Body Tempering."
"Perfect Body Tempering?"
Shao Qiu suddenly froze on the spot, a look of horror flashing in his eyes. He subconsciously said, "How is this possible? It's impossible to achieve Perfect Body Tempering!"
"He is Demonic Cultivator who broke through to the Martial King using the Ten Thousand Swords Tempering the Heart technique, a process that took him three hours in total."
Shao Qiu stood silently, expressionless. After a long while, when he came to his senses, Zhou Mo was no longer there. He didn't know when Zhou Mo had left. He had been quite happy, but now he was not.
Perfect Body Tempering.
Also known as perfect body tempering.
There's one more person in Jiangbei that he can't kill.
"No!"
Shao Qiu closed his eyes and gazed into the depths of his mind, gritting his teeth with some resentment as he strode away into the distance!
He is currently at the peak of level 9 and is about to cross level 10 to become Martial King.
The "Living Dead" Cultivator provided him with three suitable body tempering methods when he reached the peak of level 9. If he persisted with the third method, he would also achieve perfect body tempering!
But he didn't even consider it.
After all, the mortality rate was too high.
He had always been preparing for the second method of body tempering.
Now that he has learned that Qi Yue Perfect Body Tempering, he almost subconsciously abandoned the first two body tempering methods and had to choose the third method. He also wanted to achieve a perfect body tempering.
The Auction officially begun.
The host is... Wang Kui.
Chen Fan originally wanted to find a female host, Mortal Domain, so he let Wang Kui take the stage. The Auction held on the streets of Mortal City Market.
A crowd gathered on both sides of the street.
At the end of the street, on a makeshift platform, Wang Kui stood holding a Hammer.
"The first item up for auction."
"A Green Grade Exotic Treasure that has already been opened."
"Name of the Exotic Treasure": White Jade Pendant."
"Exotic Treasure Grade": Green Grade."
"Exotic Treasure Effect": When Builder wears this Exotic Treasure, the consumption of Eerie Stone is slightly reduced when constructing buildings.
"Starting bid: 1000 Eerie Stone; minimum increment: 100 Eerie Stone."
Wang Kui, who was standing on the stage, was the first to speak.
And after the words were spoken...
Mortal Domain Member walked up behind them carrying a tray with a "White Jade Pendant" on it.
66
Chen Fan sat below, calmly watching this scene. This was the pendant he had been wearing around his neck these past few days, but he didn't need it; it was of no use to him.
He is not Builder.
This effect cannot be triggered.
But, the next moment -
"Jiangnan Medicine King Valley, bid 1500."
"Jiangnan Under-Heaven Pavilion, bid 5000."
"East River One Sword Sect offers 10,000."
"Jiangnan Under-Heaven Pavilion, bid 20,000."
The price skyrocketed to 20,000 almost instantly, which was an astronomical price for a Green Grade Exotic Treasure. In the end, several people who wanted to bid hesitated for a long time before putting down their bidding paddles.
"Jiangnan Under-Heaven Pavilion offered 20,000, their first bid."
"Jiangnan Under-Heaven Pavilion offered 20,000, their second bid."
"Jiangnan Under-Heaven Pavilion has bid 20,000, their third bid."
As the Hammer fell, Wang Kui, standing on the stage, smiled warmly and enlivened the atmosphere, "Congratulations to the Jiangnan Under-Heaven Pavilion for winning this Green Grade Exotic Treasure, bringing us a great start. Next up is the second item..."
Chen Fan, standing in the crowd, looked at the Elder from "Under-Heaven Pavilion" who had led the delegation with an extremely strange expression. 20,000 Eerie Stone?
Are you crazy?
A normal Green Exotic Treasure would cost only a few thousand Eerie Stone.
It would take killing 20,000 Strange Entities to obtain so many Eerie Stones. All the wealth I've accumulated over the years is just to buy this one thing.
However, he thought about it carefully.
That seems understandable.
It allows Builder to slightly reduce the consumption of Eerie Stone when constructing buildings. This means that as long as the power is passed down for a long enough time, this Exotic Treasure will definitely recoup its cost one day, and then it will be pure profit. The only question is how long it will take.
He wasn't sure exactly how much energy could be reduced.
The panel only displayed the word "slightly".
He figured it would take at least three to five years to break even.
"The second item."
"White Grade Exotic Treasure that has already been opened."
"Name of the Exotic Treasure": White Jade Thumb Ring."
"Exotic Treasure Grade": White."
"Exotic Treasure Effect": When Builder wears this Exotic Treasure, the consumption of Eerie Stone is slightly reduced when constructing buildings.
"Starting bid: 1000 Eerie Stone; minimum increment: 100 Eerie Stone."
Yes.
It's embarrassing.
The second Exotic Treasure had the same effect, but it was of White Grade. He happened to have two of them, but they were of little use to him, so he sold them both. He hadn't originally planned to earn many Eerie Stones from the Auction; he simply wanted to use them to build his reputation.
Now it seems there's something to look forward to.
In the end, this Exotic Treasure was still acquired by the Under-Heaven Pavilion for the high price of 9,000 Eerie Stone.
This is a White Exotic Treasure, so it's definitely weaker.
Actually, the price is a bit excessive, but it's clear that Under-Heaven Pavilion is very determined to acquire it, perhaps thinking that this might be a set or something, and that there might be some special effects after collecting them all.
The third item.
The fourth item.
The atmosphere at the auction became increasingly lively. All items in this auction were from Mortal Domain itself, and no one else bid on their behalf.
Gradually, the main event finally arrived.
Lot number fourteen.
One Yellow-grade Alchemy Furnace.
"Starting bid: 1000 Eerie Stone; minimum increment: 100 Eerie Stone."
All eyes turned to the few Alchemy factions that were approaching.
Jiangnan Medicine King Valley, Jiangxi Red Alchemy Workshop, etc.
A Yellow Grade Pill Furnace would greatly enhance these forces, making it one of the highlights of this Auction.
"Ten thousand."
Medicine King Valley was the first to call out a high price, directly exceeding the starting price of 9,000 coins, but everyone knew that this was just the beginning, after all, this was a Yellow Grade Pill Furnace.
As expected.
Jiangxi Red Alchemy Workshop has made another bid.
"Twenty thousand."
"Twenty-three thousand." Medicine King Valley followed closely behind.
"Twenty-four thousand." Red Pill Workshop wouldn't let it go.
"Give up."
Medicine King Valley suddenly announced its withdrawal.
Everyone present looked at Medicine King Valley in bewilderment. What was going on? Giving up for 24,000? A Yellow Grade Pill Furnace for 24,000 Eerie Stone seemed like a good deal.
If they weren't Alchemy, they would have wanted to buy it all.
If this were a Yellow Grade Exotic Treasure, a fight would have broken out right here.
Moreover, none of the other Alchemy factions made a bid.
They had initially thought these Alchemy factions would fight tooth and nail for this Yellow Grade Pill Furnace, but to their surprise, it ended hastily, with only 24,000 Eerie Stone sold.
But soon...
The leaders of the various factions exchanged glances, all understanding each other's meaning.
This is saving its energy for when it's time to grab some meat at the table later.
There were many people attending the Auction.
However, most people did not bid at all. They were not just there to watch the show; they wanted to save all the Eerie Stone to try and snatch the last item up for auction.
"Builder Token."
Finally-
The Auction drawing to a close.
"The last item up for auction."
"Builder Token."
"Exotic Treasure that can transform ordinary Cultivator into Builder."
"Starting bid: 1000 Eerie Stone; minimum increment: 1000 Eerie Stone."
The words had barely left his mouth.
Immediately, a bunch of signs were raised from the audience.
The Mortal Domain Member standing to the side were frantically broadcasting information, their mouths almost unable to keep up.
"Jiangnan Medicine King Valley, offer of 50,000."
"East River One Sword Sect offers 70,000."
"Northbank Merchant Association offered 80,000."
The price quickly soared to 120,000 Eerie Stone, which was already the foundation of many forces. Eerie Stone were needed everywhere, and a force couldn't keep many in reserve, as money was needed here and there.
But prices are still rising rapidly.
"120,000 Eerie Stone!"
The Valley Master of Jiangnan Medicine King Valley held up a sign and looked at Chen Fan: "70,000 Eerie Stone, plus a 50,000 quota from Level-One Trusted Faction in the Mortal Domain, is that acceptable, Domain Lord Chen?"
"Sure."
Chen Fan smiled.
"125,000!"
"130,000!"
He knew the Token would be valuable, but he didn't expect it to be this valuable. It seems many factions want to appoint one person as the Builder. 130,000 Eerie Stone! How many people would he have to kill to get so many Eerie Stones?
Just then -
A powerful man took out a Spirit Treasure from his pocket and strode towards him.
"Domain Lord Chen, please help me appraise this rare Exotic Treasure. How much would it fetch at Exotic Treasure?"
This is a Green Grade Exotic Treasure that has already been opened.
"Name of Exotic Treasure": Enhancement Stone.
"Exotic Treasure Grade": Green Grade.
"Exotic Treasure Effect": Using this Enhancement Stone on any building will guarantee that the building will undergo a "normal" Qualitative Transformation upgrade during its next upgrade.
A good thing.
Chen Fan's face remained expressionless, but inwardly he thought to himself, "As expected, people don't sell their good stuff; they all keep it hidden. I really want this Exotic Treasure."
"It can be worth 20,000."
He offered a high enough price so that even if the other party didn't win the bid, he planned to buy back the Exotic Treasure at a high price after the Auction, even if it was just a simple Qualitative Transformation.
"Good!"
The man nodded emphatically, raised the Exotic Treasure in his hand, and announced loudly, "70,000 Eerie Stone, plus 50,000 Credit Limit, and this Exotic Treasure in my hand."
Total price: 140,000 Eerie Stone.
This is already a high enough price.
But more and more people are finding him.
"Domain Lord Chen."
The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, who had met Chen Fan before in front of the Pill Sect City, asked earnestly, "Three years. Within three years, the Mortal Domain will provide medicinal herbs, and Medicine King Valley will refine pills for the Mortal Domain Alchemy of charge, guaranteeing that the output will not be too low. How much money can that be in exchange for?"
"Hmm... 30,000 Eerie Stone, I suppose."
"Alright!" The Medicine King Valley Master held up a sign. "70,000 Eerie Stone, plus a 50,000-stone allowance from Level-One Trusted Faction in the Mortal Domain, plus 30,000 Eerie Stone used for Alchemy."
Total price: 150,000!
"How much can the favors bestowed by the One Sword Sect be worth?"
Chen Fan looked up at the people from the One Sword Sect and shook his head. "This is not enough."
"How much can three years of Artifact Refining at the Furnacefire Workshop be worth?"
"It's not enough."
Why is the one from Medicine King Valley eligible for a discount?
"We in the Mortal Domain have our own Artifact Refiner; we don't need outsiders to Artifact Refining for us."
The price was eventually driven up to 170,000 Eerie Stone.
Ultimately, the King Clan won the deal.
That's the person who just used the "Enhancement Stone" Exotic Treasure to offset 20,000 Eerie Stone.
Chen Fan took the Enhancement Stone from the man, looked at the back of the man who was carrying the Builder Token Yimanli, lowered his head, touched his nose, and said nothing.
Well...
He'd seen this guy before.
Or rather, this Builder Token was sold to him by this guy.
This guy sold him the Unopened Builder Token back then in order to buy the Skeleton Horse, and now he's spending 17...
I bought back 10,000 Eerie Stone.
This fully demonstrates that Blind Box Opening is a bad habit.
Selling blind boxes can also be a painful experience, especially when someone opens one of the boxes you sold and finds something good inside.
He had heard a news story in his previous life.
A Lottery Shop Owner had a customer in his shop win a million-dollar Scratch-Off —not a regular lottery ticket, just one of those cheap Scratch-Off costing a few dozen yuan. Then the owner committed suicide.
It's said that the boss was just bored at the time.
He grabbed a scraper and started scraping it for fun.
Normally, you can recoup about half of your money with a single Scratch-Off ticket. But after scratching half of them, the shop owner realized he had already won several hundred yuan. Based on experience, the remaining tickets were mostly empty, so the shop owner stopped scratching.
At that moment, someone walked into the store, bought the item, and won a million-dollar prize.
The boss laughed on the spot.
He committed suicide that very night.
If he were to tell the King Clan this news now, his fate would probably be not much different from that of the Lottery Shop Owner; of course, he wouldn't be that despicable.
The Auction ended.
But then, Eternal Night descended.
The various factions were also temporarily unable to leave Mortal City, so they all found a place in the Inn to sleep for the time being.
Chen Fan, however, was unaffected.
The imperial chariot, carrying Nine-Five Dragon Chariot, sped out of the gate, plunged into the Eternal Night, and returned to the Mortal Domain.
Eternal Nightfall.
Chen Fan stood on the wall, looking at a Building Blueprint on the Endless Night Lord Panel.
"Godslayer Cannon".
This is Building Blueprint he obtained a few days ago from the Seaside Ancient Legacy. It's Green Grade blueprint. He plans to use this Enhancement Stone on the Godslayer Cannon or the City Wall; he's not considering other buildings for the time being.
The best option would be City Wall.
After all, when applied to the Godslayer Cannon, only this one Godslayer Cannon is effective.
But when applied to the "City Wall," it means that everything connected to the City Wall is useful.
He hasn't built Godslayer Cannon yet.
Let's see the results.
Currently, the Camp has no Level-6 Cannon Tower. The two existing level Level-6 Cannon Tower were destroyed by the Wraith King. The materials obtained afterward, upon encountering the Pill Sect, were used to create seven level 6 turrets on the Heaven-and-Earth Chessboard of the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot, due to concerns about insufficient firepower.
Tier 1 Cannon Tower.
This means that the strongest Cannon Tower in the Camp is currently Level-5 Cannon Tower.
The next moment, countless phantom images of Divine Cannon composed of white light appeared on the City Wall, and slowly solidified after absorbing the liquid left by the shattered Eerie Stone.
A cannon barrel appeared on the City Wall.
It is no longer a square shape.
It is no longer in the shape of Eerie Eye.
Instead, it's a proper cannon barrel with a base stone at the bottom. Overall, it looks quite simple, somewhat like an old-fashioned cannon.
It takes 100 Eerie Stone to craft a Godslayer Cannon.
This base price is much higher than Level-1 Arrow Tower only costs 10 Eerie Stone.
Consume 200 Eerie Stone to upgrade to Level 2.
A panel pops up in front of you.
"Godslayer Cannon upgraded to Level 2."
"There are no upgrade paths to choose from for this building; each upgrade will increase its power."
"And we cannot obtain any upgrade direction through other means."
One "gain".
Chen Fan felt a little regretful; it seemed there was no need to dwell on whether to use the Enhancement Stone on the "Godslayer Cannon" or the "City Wall."
I'll go ahead and make the decision for him directly.
The Level 2 Godslayer Cannon looks much more substantial.
Continue upgrading.
Upgrade to Level 4 to see its power, and while you're at it, see what materials are needed to upgrade to level 5. If "Mourning Lantern" can be used for upgrading, then upgrade to level 5 and see.
But it's unlikely to work, since the Mourning Lantern is made of white material, while this is a Green Grade Defensive Structure, which probably needs to be made of Green Grade materials.
Consume 500 Eerie Stone to upgrade to level 3.
His appearance gradually became somewhat wild.
Consume 1000 Eerie Stone to upgrade to Level 4.
Some mysterious Vein Patterns appeared on the cannon barrel.
"Etc!"
Chen Fan's expression was slightly strange. How could it be that leveling up to level 5 didn't require any materials?
Consume 2000 Eerie Stone to upgrade to level 5.
The cannon barrel became larger, with denser Vein Patterns, and covered in Scarlet Grade.
His expression grew increasingly strange.
Is it a bug?
Or is he stuck?
Because upgrading to level 6 still doesn't require any materials, only 3000 Eerie Stone.
Is that correct?
Upgrading Arrow Tower to level 5 and then to level 6 requires various materials in addition to the Eerie Stone. However, the "Godslayer Cannon" is not only more powerful than the Arrow Towers, but it also doesn't require any materials to upgrade to level 6?
After consuming another 3000 Eerie Stone, you will reach level 6.
Finally, a Level-6 Cannon Tower has appeared in the Camp again!
But-
Chen Fan looked at the Godslayer Cannon's control panel and took a deep breath. Something must have gone wrong; there must be a bug!
Because upgrading to level 7 still requires no materials.
Only 5,000 Eerie Stones are needed!
He spent another 5,000 Eerie Stones to upgrade the Godslayer Cannon to level 7.
Another 7,000 Eerie Stone were used to upgrade the Godslayer Cannon to level 8.
No materials are required.
He has nothing but a lot of Eerie Stone right now. As long as you don't upgrade the materials, he will keep upgrading.
Consume 9000 Eerie Stone to upgrade the Godslayer Cannon to level 9.
Chen Fan remained silent, expressionless. He had initially thought that the Godslayer Cannon, like the Martial King Martial King, might be a hurdle; surely it would require materials to reach level 10?
Only 10,000 Eerie Stone are needed.
He naturally chose to level up to level 10 again.
The result is... no.
A panel pops up in front of you.
"Godslayer Cannon upgraded to level 10."
"Level reached maximum, cannot be upgraded further."
"Max-Level Effect: Old and Young Take Flight Together": Enters Berserk Mode. During Berserk Mode, firing rate and power are greatly increased, and the consumption rate of Eerie Stone is doubled.
At the same time -
A new panel popped up on his long-dormant "Endless Night Lord Panel".
"You have successfully upgraded the 'Godslayer Cannon' building to the maximum level, gaining its first Max-Level Effect."
The "Max-Level Building" illustration has been unlocked for the first time.
"Acquired a Green Grade Exotic Treasure."
"Activating three Max-Level Building will grant you a more valuable reward."
But before he could react...
Another panel popped up in front of me.
"Bite."
"You have become the first Player in the Eternal Night Continent to acquire Max-Level Building, successfully triggering the Achievement' One Step Ahead '."
This Achievement greatly increases your walking speed, and even more so within Camp areas.
Chen Fan stood there dumbfounded, staring at the several panels in front of him, speechless for a long time, unable to react.
All along.
The Endless Night Lord Panel only helps him quickly construct buildings and incidentally identifies Building Blueprint and Exotic Treasure; it offers no other features.
And now...
He was a little confused.
"The first one on the Eternal Night Continent?"
Is this world really a fucking game?
He had this feeling as soon as he transmigrated here.
Whether it's Exotic Treasure, the process of building structures, or Building Blueprint, it really looks like a game. The only difference is that it has a control panel, while others don't.
This allows him to easily understand Building Blueprint and information about Exotic Treasure, while it would be very troublesome for others.
Now it seems...
This world should be a gamified world, but the transformation failed halfway through, resulting in everyone else not having Player Panel except for him.
A semi-finished product.
He didn't know which force had transformed this world, but he assumed that force had been exhausted, otherwise it wouldn't have abandoned the transformation halfway through.
Eternal Night descended long ago.
There is no such thing as someone never building Max-Level Building.
Then there's only one possibility.
That is...
He was the only Player; the others didn't even have Player Panel, so of course they weren't considered Player, and he was the only one who could claim the reward.
Actually, he didn't have any cheat codes at all.
The so-called "Endless Night Lord Panel" is just a basic Player Panel with no special effects. However, since everyone else has it but he does, this Player Panel becomes a cheat.
"Call..."
Chen Fan took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He had received too much information at once, and his brain needed time to process it.
Certainly.
The world is definitely real, just with a Power System added. The so-called panel is just a form of display; it's just that others can't see it and can only figure it out themselves.
After a long silence, Chen Fan looked at the panel in front of him with a slightly strange expression. This was the first time in a long time that he felt he had actually acquired the cheat.
Most importantly...
Upgrading the Godslayer Cannon to level 10 didn't require any materials at all.
What happened next?
That's all, I've reached max level!
It only takes 37,800 Eerie Stone to build a fully upgraded Godslayer Cannon.
At this time, the Godslayer Cannon also looked extremely cool.
The surface of the cannon barrel is engraved with Relief Pattern, making it look extremely mysterious and unpredictable, and the overall appearance is much more imposing than before.
"Let's test its power."
Chen Fan looked at the rock walls on both sides of the Sinkhole. The rock walls here were extremely solid, making them the best test subjects.
The next moment -
"Boom!"
A deafening sound echoed through the Cave. Chen Fan, standing next to the Godslayer Cannon, felt dizzy as a scarlet cannonball formed from concentrated energy crashed heavily against the rock wall.
The rock wall exploded.
Countless stone chips and powder flew everywhere.
When everything calmed down.
A Deep Pit more than ten meters deep appeared in the rock face.
Such a commotion would also wake up the people who were busy in the Cave. Qi Yue, who was the first to rush out, froze on the spot after seeing this scene, her eyes filled with horror.
He knew how sturdy this rock face was.
After comprehending the sword technique, he was barely able to carve the two characters "Chen Fan" on the rock wall. At that moment, the Cannon Tower he had never seen before blasted a crater more than ten meters Deep Pit with a single shot.
If that hit him...
He couldn't help but shiver.
It seems unlikely they will survive.
Chen Fan stared at the scene before him in silence for a long time. If the Wraith King were to appear at this moment, this cannon shot would be enough to show him what Godslayer Cannon was.
This thing is truly meant to kill gods.
The shot was fired.
What Martial King, what Wraith King, they all must die.
Try Level-3 City Wall.
He then built a three-meter-wide Level-3 City Wall and placed it on the Open Ground the Sinkhole. Level-3 City Wall have always been a standard, and his Jadeite Staff gives him the defensive effect of Level-3 City Wall.
The next moment -
The Level-10 Godslayer Cannon was aimed at the newly built Level-3 City Wall.
The Scarlet Grade ball of light blasted out again.
"Boom!"
This time, everyone truly understood that the Level-3 City Wall shattered into Heavenly Stone and dust in an instant.
When the dust settles.
There was no longer any Level-3 City Wall; only a large crater remained on the ground.
Are Level-3 City Wall really that weak?
Qi Yue murmured to himself. In his memory, Level-3 City Wall had always been very strong. For example, the Hidden City, which the Gongyang Clan was proud of, was entirely composed of Level-3 City Wall.
That City certainly deserves to be proud.
But...
Why did he suddenly feel that the Level-3 City Wall was actually quite fragile, crumbling at the slightest touch?
"Call..."
Chen Fan let out a soft breath, took out the Jade Slip he had obtained from the Ancient Ruins from his pocket again, and focused his consciousness into it to examine it carefully.
Scenes of the ancient battle on the Great Battle of the Jiangbei Defense Line reappeared before my eyes.
The image vaguely shows a large number of Cannon Tower on the City Wall, including many "Godslayer Cannon". He obtained the blueprint from the Undying Celestial Master, who would definitely build such Cannon Tower.
Only...
Why are all the Godslayer Cannon on the City Wall level 6?
There isn't even a single level 7 one.
Reaching level 7 doesn't require any special materials, just Eerie Stone. If you're short on Eerie Stone, you could simply not upgrade too many doors. Upgrading three or four doors to deal with the bosses in the Strange Tide would be much better, wouldn't it?
Or are there other factors?
He was unclear about the specifics of what happened.
But he knew one thing.
That is...
The "Undersea Strange Tide Landing" battle four years later might need to be renamed "The Mortal Domain Expansion War."
As long as you have enough Eerie Stone.
He placed a Level-10 Godslayer Cannon at intervals along the Northbank Defense Line, and then deployed a large number of low-level Cannon Tower in between to clear out smaller monsters.
Who can break in?
Chen Fan looked at the Green Exotic Treasure in his hand. This was the Green Exotic Treasure reward he received after unlocking his first Max-Level Building in the encyclopedia.
"Name of the Exotic Treasure": Fortune Whistle.
"Exotic Treasure Grade": Green Grade.
"Exotic Treasure Effect": After blowing the whistle, one's luck will be slightly enhanced for three breaths. This is a one-time use Exotic Treasure.
A familiar, Exotic Treasure.
He once received one.
They did not stop.
He quickly blew the whistle, and the moment the whistle sounded, it shattered and turned into a pale Gilded Light that wrapped around him, giving him a slight boost in luck.
Immediately afterwards-
He quickly slammed the newly acquired Enhancement Stone onto the City Wall beneath him.
It also consumed 1000 Eerie Stone to directly upgrade the Level-3 City Wall beneath him to Level 4!
A panel pops up in front of you.
"The City Wall have been upgraded to Level 4, increasing their strength and durability."
Please select an upgrade direction.
"1: Possesses a slow self-repair mechanism, equivalent to one-fifth of the Vine Pattern."
"2: The sense of deterrence is enhanced; from the perspective of living beings, this City Wall is even more intimidating."
"3: Already Qualitative Transformation: Gain a random Qualitative Transformation direction of one grade higher (normal)."
The next moment -
Before Chen Fan could react...
The panel then began to change continuously.
"Qualitative Transformation has begun."
"The Qualitative Transformation is complete."
"Qualitative Transformation: Gained a random, one-grade higher Qualitative Transformation direction (Rare)."
"Qualitative Transformation has begun."
"The Qualitative Transformation is complete."
"Qualification Already Qualitative Transformation: Gained a random Qualitative Transformation direction one grade higher (Superior)."
"Qualitative Transformation has begun."
"The Qualitative Transformation is complete."
"Qualitative Transformation (Great Wall): All City Wall connected to this City Wall will be affected by this Qualitative Transformation effect, allowing the City Wall to move freely within the Camp area like a long dragon (Legendary)."
Chen Fan remained silent, expressionless. He suddenly felt that the combined effect of the "Exotic Treasure Fortune Whistle" and the "Enhancement Stone" was a bit too powerful.
If the upgrade direction obtained from the Enhancement Stone happens to be...
Qualitative Transformation Completed: Gain a random Qualitative Transformation direction that is one grade higher (Normal).
So, within the three breaths of increased luck, the current situation could occur, rising all the way up until a "Legendary" Qualitative Transformation occurs. This is the first time he has seen such a direction for upgrading.
As for the effect...
Qi Yue.
He turned his head to look at Qi Yue, who was standing there dumbfounded, and suddenly said, "Let's have a match."
"Ah?"
Qi Yue was startled awake. Although she didn't know what had happened, she subconsciously shook her head and said, "Domain Lord, you are Builder, I..."
The sentence was not finished.
But it's obvious.
The Builder is the weakest in terms of combat strength, Demonic Cultivator is the strongest.
These two are not even in the same league, how can they fight?
"Give it a try."
"Oh well."
On the Open Ground of the Sinkhole.
Qi Yue looked at Chen Fan with a serious expression. "Domain Lord, you go first."
"Good."
Chen Fan didn't hesitate, and nodded slightly as he stood a dozen meters away from Qi Yue, leaning on his cane.
The next moment -
The 21-meter-long City Wall at the entrance of Cave One suddenly came to life and began to move rapidly, instantly enveloping Qi Yue.
The barrel of the Godslayer Cannon was pressed against his forehead.
Before Qi Yue could react, Chen Fan's figure disappeared from her sight. When she looked up again, she saw that he was surrounded by a seven-meter-high City Wall.
And that Godslayer Cannon he had just seen was pointed right at his head.
Chen Fan's voice came from outside the city.
"Are you ready? I'm about to make my move."
"Domain Lord!"
Qi Yue screamed at the top of her lungs, her voice cracking with rage, "Stop! Stop! You can't fight like this! I'll die! I'll really die! I can't take it anymore!"
He is Perfect Body Tempering Martial King, possessing immense strength.
But he knew very well that he absolutely could not withstand such a shot.
Whoever resists will die.
"Just one strike."
"Even a single blow won't do! Domain Lord, you really can't withstand this!"
"Not even one hit?"
Chen Fan waved his hand with some regret, the City Wall retreated one circle, and then he controlled the City Wall to move rapidly forward within the Sinkhole Camp area like Greedy Snake.
The monkeys and their companions stood to the side, somewhat bewildered.
Is this City Wall?
What's wrong with this world?
Can the City Wall move?
"Hey."
Chen Fan suddenly grinned. The Northbank Defense Line he planned to build was 170 kilometers long, which was 170,000 meters long. If he actually built it...
Someone will upset him then.
He then manipulated the City Wall to find the other party.
A 170-kilometer-long traffic jam—whoever tries to get through it is doomed.
The only drawback is...
The City Wall can only move within the "Camp area", and the Cannon Tower on the City Wall can only attack creatures within the Camp area.
So...
"Um...
Chen Fan looked thoughtfully at the City Wall. Was it possible to place the General Strange fire directly on the City Wall?
We'll do this experiment later.
He regained control of the City Wall, blocking the entrance to Cave No. 1, and gave Qi Yue and the others the order, "From now on, anyone who enters the Mortal Domain without prior notice will be killed without exception."
He wanted to protect this City Wall.
Although the Legendary Mutation Path is shared by all the City Wall, the main body of this Qualitative Transformation is still on that one-meter section of the City Wall. As long as that one-meter section of the City Wall is destroyed, this Legendary Qualitative Transformation will be gone.
This was his first Legendary Qualitative Transformation.
He even suspected that this might be the only time in ten years he could randomly obtain a Legendary Qualitative Transformation effect; how much luck would that require?
It must be protected.
If it breaks, he feels he can understand how that Lottery Shop Owner feels; he even feels like hanging himself from a tree.
Shao Qiu.
Chen Fan, still somewhat unsatisfied, looked at Shao Qiu beside him. "Aren't you good at Stealth and assassination? How about we give it a try?"
"Domain Lord..."
Shao Qiu said with a long face, "This really won't work, we really can't even try a little bit of this."
"Pity."
Chen Fan shook his head with some regret. He really wanted to try using the "Long Dragon Strangulation" move against a master to see what the effect would be.
Yes.
He named this move "Long Dragon Strangulation".
Very apt.
The only drawback is that the City Wall are too short. The highest Level-3 City Wall is only 7 meters, and even the City Wall that was upgraded to Level 4 is only 15 meters high.
Not high enough.
What if it flies out?
If only there were a few dozen meters between them, they definitely wouldn't be able to fly out. Once surrounded, even the strongest expert would be strangled to death.
This is inhuman.
He offered a poignant conclusion to this Legendary Qualitative Transformation.
Inside the Camp.
Chen Fan sat alone on the City Wall, pondering whether there was any possibility of placing the General Strange fire on the City Wall, and finally concluded that it was feasible.
The Eerie Fire can indeed be placed on the City Wall.
But there are still many problems to solve before he can complete his 170-kilometer-long dragon, which crosses the Jiangnan and heads straight for the West Pass Plains.
For example...
Altar cannot be placed on City Wall. For example, the Eerie Fire placed on City Wall is relatively fragile. Once an Eerie Fire breaks in a certain place, a section of the Camp will be lost, and the fast-moving dragon will be stuck on the spot, and the middle section of the City Wall will not be able to move.
There are many difficulties.
But that's okay, this is just one idea, we'll find a solution gradually.
Four years from now, when the Undersea Strange Tide Landing, the 170-kilometer-long Northbank Defense Line will stretch southward towards the West Pass Plains. His Northbank Defense Line protected the West Pass Plains, preventing its invasion by the Strange Entities. Collecting some protection money wouldn't be unreasonable, would it?
Chen Fan sat alone on the City Wall, pondering.
Qi Yue and his companions stood in the Sinkhole outside the city, gazing at the large pit, which was more than ten meters wide, on the rock wall, remaining silent for a long time.
Tonight's events were far too impactful for them.
"If you were level 20, could you withstand this shot?"
Shao Qiu turned his head to look at Qi Yue.
"Have no idea."
Qi Yue shook her head. "But I feel there's a high probability we won't be able to withstand it. Have you forgotten? This world is a world of Strange Entities, and the barrier that humanity uses to fight Strange Entities is the Builder."
"Builder are the First Defense Line against Strange Entities."
"No matter how high our Cultivation, we can only assist in minor matters. We can't make a sound on the main battlefield. Even if you are skilled in assassination, can you assassinate the Wraith King when the Strange Tide attacks?"
You can't.
"These buildings are designed to fight against the Strange Entities. We definitely can't stop them. If the damage from this shot spills onto my family, it would be enough to wipe out my entire clan."
Shao Qiu didn't speak again. For the first time, he felt so powerless. This shot had shattered all his pride.
Is it too late to go to Mortal City and snatch back the Builder Token that the King Clan bought?
He also wanted to be Builder.
I feel that Builder have a better future. This one shot is worth more than he's been working hard here for years, chiseling away with Dagger. It would have taken him several years to chisel such a deep hole.
