Chapter 1071 Terrifying Changes

Dark Night Empire, Thousand Leaf City.

Although the sky was bright, with several hours before nightfall, the city streets were already packed with players. More than 70% of the players on the streets were Tier 3 experts of Level 140 or higher, but their faces were filled with tension and solemnity.

Because the Dark Night Empire's border fortresses and cities had fallen one after another, the various forces and expert players of the Dark Night Empire fighting against the NPC army from the Outer World had to retreat to the largest border city in the south. Among them, the number of Tier 3 experts alone exceeded eight million, and the number of Tier 4 experts reached more than two hundred, which was unimaginable even in the Dark Night Imperial Capital.

Star Ring Guild Residence, Guild Leader's Office.

"They won?"

Lu Tian Di looked at the information about the Twin Towers Kingdom that his subordinate had just sent, and he was somewhat dumbfounded.

The sudden offensive of the Outer World NPC army against some kingdoms was exactly what Lu Tian Di wanted to see most, because the NPC forces of the Twin Towers Kingdom and Star-Moon Kingdom alone could not possibly defeat the Outer World NPC army.

Because there were almost no Tier 5 NPCs in the kingdoms, while the Outer World NPC army had Tier 5 NPCs stationed in them.

In his opinion, even if Shi Feng was a Tier 5 player, it would be a dream to defend a fortress, because the Outer World NPC army had many methods, and there were quite a few Tier 5 combatants. It was a certainty that the Twin Towers Kingdom would continue to lose ground.

Even the major empires of the Eastern Continent, only the Fire Dragon Empire, one of the Four Ancient Kingdoms, truly blocked the invasion of the Outer World NPC army. But even so, it lost two fortresses before stopping the Outer World NPC army's advance, and gradually both sides began to fight for territory in the wild.

But now Zero Wing had not only defended Steel Lion Fortress, but also defended Thunder Gorge City and Red Thorns Fortress, completely blocking the Outer World NPC army's advance on the border, which was simply unbelievable.

The guild leaders of the five first-rate guilds standing beside him were also dumbfounded.

They never expected that Zero Wing could actually do it. Clearly, without the support of their five first-rate guilds, it had stubbornly blocked the offensives in three places, and even caused considerable damage to the Outer World NPC army.

Now, the guilds and free players who participated in the battle could make a fortune from the Twin Towers Kingdom, because without the interference of air power, it was much easier to kill Tier 3 NPCs on the ground…

"Guild Leader, according to the detailed intelligence we investigated, Zero Wing Guild's Bai Qingshuang and Aqua Rose have both advanced to Tier 5, and the reason they were able to defend three places this time is entirely due to Zero Wing's Thunderclap Airship. The power of that airship alone suppressed the entire Outer World's air power." Yi Kui said with envy, "If it weren't for that airship, even if Zero Wing had Tier 5 experts stationed there, they definitely wouldn't be able to hold it!"

"Thunderclap Airship?" Lu Tian Di looked at the battle video of the Thunderclap Airship, his eyes shining. He looked directly at Yi Kui and said decisively, "Find a way to find out how this Thunderclap Airship came about. As long as we can get one, then it won't be a problem to fight against the Outer World NPC army in the future!"

The main reason for the fall of many fortresses and cities in the Dark Night Empire was that its air power was too weak. Once the defense magic barrier was broken, the air power of the other side could quickly break through the core magic array, making the defensive power of the fortresses and cities a joke.

And the air power of the Thunderclap Airship was too strong!

It could not only fight against the Tier 5 Saint Domain-level Ancient Bone Dragon, but also make the Outer World fleet run all over the street. It was simply an air combat artifact.

At this time, not only Lu Tian Di thought so, but all the major super forces who saw the performance of the Thunderclap Airship immediately sent people to fully investigate how Zero Wing's Thunderclap Airship came about, and what methods could be used to obtain such an air combat artifact.

Not only the major super forces of the God's Domain Continent were investigating, but even the major forces of the Outer World sent people to investigate.

For a time, countless spies from various forces infiltrated the Star-Moon Kingdom and Zero Wing, wanting to find out all the information about the Thunderclap Airship.

Among them, Lu Tian Di also specifically opened a reward, as long as he could get the detailed information and source of the Thunderclap Airship, he would reward 100 million credits. As long as he could get a Thunderclap Airship for Star Ring, Star Ring was willing to pay 100 billion credits to buy it.

Such a reward instantly made the players of the entire God's Domain world boil.

Ordinary people could not earn 10 million credits in their entire lives. Being able to own 100 million credits was an absolute rich man, and they would be a prominent figure in a small city. 10 billion credits could make them the richest man in a city, and 100 billion credits could be compared to some consortiums.

Star-Moon Kingdom, Star-Moon City.

"Guild Leader, this time Star Ring's reward has made many core members of our firm unable to resist selling all the news about the Thunderclap Airship to Star Ring." Melancholic Smile handed a list to Shi Feng, and said with shame, "Many of these people are old members who were there when Candlelight Firm was first established, but this time…"

The manufacturing of the Thunderclap Airship required too many people. Although confidentiality agreements were signed and a lot of rewards were given, some people still couldn't resist leaking all the data of the Thunderclap Airship. Even the fact that the Thunderclap Airship came from Shi Feng was known to the outside world.

However, Fire Dance smiled and said directly, "What's that? You don't know, during this time, when the Thunderclap Airship was being repaired at the Sky Spring City residence, many Zero Wing members were planning to steal it. If it weren't for Blackie and the others taking turns guarding it, it would have been stolen."

The Xuan Iron-level airship was not bound, although it required a key to activate, it did not need a key to put the airship into an Epic-level space backpack.

"100 billion credits, not to mention them, even I'm tempted." Shi Feng smiled and said, "It's impossible to stop it. All we can do is strengthen the defense, after all, it's impossible to carry this thing with us all the time."

A Xuan Iron-level Thunderclap Airship required at least ten people to operate. Although carrying it with oneself could prevent it from being stolen to a certain extent, one never knew when the Outer World NPC army would attack. If the holder encountered something when the attack came, it would be awkward.

"I've already asked the Tier 4 Fine-Gold Guards to guard the control room all day long. Unless Guild Leader and us vice guild leaders give the order, no one else is allowed to drive it." Fang Shihan also nodded and said, "This way, even if someone in the guild wants to steal it, they must first deal with the Tier 4 Fine-Gold Guards."

Tier 4 Fine-Gold Guards possessed peak Tier 4 combat power. Two or three ordinary Tier 4 experts were no match for them. The Tier 4 experts who could truly fight needed to reach the Void Realm and be equipped with Epic-level equipment. As for Tier 3 players, they shouldn't even think about it.

"By the way, how is the manufacturing of the Thunderclap Airship and Fire Beast Puppet going?" Shi Feng couldn't help but ask Melancholic Smile.

Now, in the World Struggle, facing the Outer World NPC army, even Tier 5 experts could only do so much. To resist the Outer World NPC army, they only had the Thunderclap Airship and Fire Beast Puppet.

"The manufacturing of the Fire Beast Puppet is less difficult and requires fewer people. We have already successfully manufactured three, and only the final core rune and core magic array need to be engraved." Melancholic Smile also said with some worry, "As for the Thunderclap Airship, it's a bit difficult. Although we still have the materials to manufacture three more, because of the information leak, major forces are frantically buying manufacturing materials, and subsequent manufacturing will be a problem…"

"Then let's manufacture the three Thunderclap Airships first, and then focus on manufacturing the Fire Beast Puppets." Shi Feng thought for a moment and said.

Currently, the Outer World's 19th Legion was only attacking three places in the Twin Towers Kingdom. With the power of the Outer World NPC army, it would be no problem to attack five or six places at once. Relying solely on one Thunderclap Airship was not enough.

They needed at least three Thunderclap Airships to truly defend the border of the Twin Towers Kingdom.

"Guild Leader, Skyji Pavilion contacted us before, saying that they hoped we could help them with the Thunderclap Airship. They are willing to offer 100,000 gold coins and 300,000 magic crystals as a reward for each city defense battle." Fang Shihan took out the support request sent by Skyji Pavilion and said with great excitement, "Because of the rewards we offered for killing Outer World NPCs, the revenue of Zero Wing City and Ancient Rock City has been greatly reduced. If we help Skyji Pavilion a few times, it can alleviate a lot of our guild's financial pressure."

Shi Feng had almost used up all of Zero Wing's liquid funds to get the design drawings.

Now, Zero Wing was frantically recruiting people and strengthening Ancient Rock City for development. The speed at which it was spending money was simply unsustainable for Zero Wing. Earning 100,000 gold coins and 300,000 magic crystals for one mission was definitely a great deal.

"It's possible." Shi Feng thought for a moment and said, "However, it is impossible for the Thunderclap Airship to be deployed now. At most, we can send three Fire Beast Puppets over. In addition to gold coins and magic crystals, we also need twenty Magic Guide Elf Stones, one hundred pieces of Titanite Ore, and one hundred units of Seven Luminaries Crystals."

The Thunderclap Airship was very important to the current Twin Towers Kingdom and absolutely could not leave.

And to defend a fortress or city, three Fire Beast Puppets with Tier 5 combat power were definitely enough. After all, there were not many Tier 5 combatants in the Outer World NPC army.

With three more Tier 5 combatants stationed there, it would certainly be more difficult to fight, but defending was definitely not a problem.

"Then I'll go inform them." Fang Shihan nodded.

Although the conditions were a bit harsh, it was better than losing a city or fortress. After all, the loss of these places meant a reduction in various resources, because players did not dare to step into those places to collect resources, let alone the resource areas occupied by the major forces.

And everything was as Fang Shihan thought. Skyji Pavilion agreed without saying a word and even hoped that Zero Wing would rush over as soon as possible, because the Outer World NPC army had already made some moves and would attack the next NPC city of the Firewing Empire in at most a day or two.

In response, Shi Feng immediately began to engrave the final core magic array of the Fire Beast Puppet.

In just half a day, Shi Feng successfully completed the engraving. Then he had Fang Shihan take three war puppets with a height of more than fifty meters to East Lake City, the border city of the Firewing Empire.

In the battle of East Lake City, the gap between the two sides was not small. Even with the power of the Firewing Empire, they sent two Tier 5 experts to guard the city, and the number of Tier 4 experts reached five hundred. However, the Outer World NPC army had even stronger assembled forces, with four Tier 5 experts, more than a thousand Tier 4 experts, and the number of Tier 3 NPCs reached six million.

The gap between the players was also not small. Even with Skyji Pavilion deploying all its elites and gathering the power of many large guilds, there were only more than four hundred Tier 4 experts and tens of millions of Tier 3 experts. However, the Outer World player army was even more powerful, with more than eight hundred Tier 4 experts and the number of Tier 3 experts not losing at all.

This battle could be said to be earth-shattering, lasting for more than a day. Due to the existence of the three Fire Beast Puppets, they not only resisted the two additional Tier 5 experts, but also blocked a Tier 5 summoned beast.

In the end, the control time of the Outer World's Tier 5 summoned beast was up, forcing the Outer World NPC army and player army to choose to retreat. As for the casualties on both sides, they were roughly four to six, with Skyji Pavilion suffering six and the Outer World suffering four. But such a record shocked the entire Eastern Continent of God's Domain.

Because before this, there had never been an imperial siege battle that could achieve such a ratio of casualties. Usually, even if they defended, the casualties were two to eight, or even one to nine.

If they could continue to consume the Outer World forces at a ratio of four to six, it would be a great advantage for them, the local forces. In the end, the Outer World army would definitely lose, because the gap between the players on both sides was huge just in terms of resurrection.

If the Outer World players died in the wild, they could only be resurrected at the exit of the World Passage, which was extremely troublesome to travel back to the battlefield. However, the local players were different. They could be resurrected directly in the city's temple and participate in the battle immediately.

For a time, many super forces in the Eastern Continent of God's Domain sent invitations to Zero Wing, hoping that Zero Wing could provide support.

Of course, Shi Feng was very happy about this. He could not only earn a lot of wealth, but also earn money for the materials to manufacture Thunderclap Airships and Flame Beast Puppets, and he could also collect Seven Luminaries Crystals. The only thing he had to pay was the consumption of the Flame Beast Puppets, which was simply a risk-free business.

In the following month, the Flame Beast Puppets manufactured by Zero Wing were deployed to various battlefields, from the initial three Flame Beast Puppets deployed to one battlefield, gradually developing to more than ten Flame Beast Puppets deployed to three or four battlefields, and finally thirty-four Flame Beast Puppets deployed to more than ten battlefields, greatly improving the war situation in the entire Eastern Continent of God's Domain.

As for Zero Wing, it made a fortune. It not only allowed Zero Wing City, Ancient Rock City, Silverwing City, and Stone Forest City to be fully upgraded, but also allowed Lost Town to successfully upgrade to a city. More than a million Zero Wing members were training and improving in Lost City.

Moreover, in more than a month, the number of Tier 3 experts in Zero Wing exceeded three million. During this period, due to the training and cultivation through the Extraordinary Tower in Lost City, and the environment of Zero Wing City and Ancient Rock City, the number of experts who advanced to Tier 4 also exceeded all the guilds, reaching more than two hundred, which could be said to be an explosive period for Tier 4 experts.

Even Fire Dance, Violet Cloud, and Yan Tianxing created Tier 5 Magic Bodies and successfully advanced to Tier 5, greatly increasing Zero Wing's combat power and making all the guilds in the God's Domain Continent envious.

Because during this period, only one Tier 5 expert was born in each of the five super guilds, and this was achieved by gathering the power of the entire guild and stacking all the promotion resources that could be exchanged for war contributions. But Zero Wing gave birth to three…

With the help of Zero Wing's support in the battles, the major forces used kingdom and empire resources to give birth to many Tier 4 experts, gradually reducing the gap with the Outer World players, slowly turning the war situation towards the God's Domain Continent's side.

However, Star Ring, which had always been at odds with Zero Wing, was not doing well. Many NPC cities in the Dark Night Empire were lost, and years of operation were gone. They only occupied the Dark Night Imperial Capital and a few main cities, along with some resources and shops. The situation in other kingdoms and empires was similar, causing Star Ring to become the bottom guild among the super forces, and many guild members left the guild one after another…

Just when everyone in the God's Domain Continent thought that this World Struggle could be stabilized like the last one, a shocking battle broke out in Flamehorn City, one of the eight main cities of the Fire Dragon Empire.

Flamehorn City's governor, Kolobi, the former vice knight commander of the Fire Dragon Empire, a Level 200 Tier 5 Dragon Knight, and the War God Temple's elder, Kroford, a demigod-level existence and one of the Ten Saints, joined forces to fight against a mysterious young man in Flamehorn City.

As a result, before the two sides exchanged three or four moves, Governor Kolobi and War God Temple Elder Kroford turned into ashes, and the entire city completely disappeared from the Fire Dragon Empire.

Less than five days later, the mysterious young man and several Tier 5 NPCs from the Outer World appeared in Holy Light City, the imperial capital of the Glory Empire. They directly rushed into the palace of Holy Light City, killed the emperor of the Glory Empire and more than a dozen Tier 5 existences, and then Holy Light City also completely disappeared from the map of the God's Domain Continent…

For a time, the Glory Empire, which was famous throughout the Eastern Continent of God's Domain, was directly destroyed, plunging the entire Eastern Continent of God's Domain into unprecedented panic, and the major super forces were even more on edge.

Before, even in the World Struggle, only some kingdoms were destroyed. An empire was simply an unshakable existence in the eyes of the players, because the foundation of an empire was simply not something that Tier 5 experts could contend with. Even if several Tier 5 dragons appeared, they would only be able to injure an empire's tendons and bones at most, and would not be able to destroy an empire.

Especially in Holy Light City, the imperial capital of the Glory Empire, the ancient magic barrier that was set up could allow a Tier 5 expert to easily face the siege of several Tier 5 experts, not to mention that Holy Light City also had more than a dozen Tier 5 experts, including Tier 5 NPCs with Legendary weapons and Legendary equipment.

It could be said that even if a Tier 6 god appeared, Holy Light City could fight.

But now, the invincible empire was no longer invincible. Even the players who were killed suffered deep soul injuries, and were unable to log in for a month. Some even had to start over…

Ancient Rock City, core control hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

At this time, in the huge hall, only Shi Feng was standing there quietly, using Soul of the Golden to try to completely stop the operation of all magic elements with his spirit.

After more than a month, Shi Feng not only reached Level 192, but also gradually adapted to it with the help of Soul of the Golden, how to forcibly stop the operation of magic elements. Now, even without the power of Soul of the Golden, Shi Feng could use the Destruction Law Sword Skill, but it consumed a lot of spirit.

"It seems that unless I can break through to the Tier 6 level spiritually, I can't truly control the Destruction Law." Shi Feng shook his head and smiled bitterly, looking at the space around him that was constantly shattering after Soul of the Golden faded.

He was almost speechless about improving his spirit to Tier 6.

He originally thought that he could continuously improve his spirit through the Water of Soul and Soul Crystal, even if it was very slow. But more than ten days ago, he felt that his spirit seemed to have reached its limit. No matter how much Water of Soul and Soul Crystal he used, his spirit did not improve at all.

On the contrary, in reality, he finally reached the level of a Three-Star Mental Master through meditation potions two days ago, which was much faster than in God's Domain.

Just as Shi Feng was thinking about how to break through to Tier 6 spiritually, a person suddenly walked into the hall from outside.

Fang Shihan walked in anxiously with a magic crystal recorder in her hand, and said with a solemn expression, "Guild Leader, I have found out the purpose of that mysterious young man's actions."

"What purpose?" Shi Feng also asked with great concern.

He already knew the identity of the mysterious young man when he first appeared in Flamehorn City.

It was the scholar he met in the Ancient God Ruins before. However, the scholar who appeared in Flamehorn City had undergone considerable changes. When he saw him in the Ancient God Ruins, there were no divine rune imprints on the scholar's face, but now there were dark purple divine rune imprints on the scholar's eyebrows and cheeks, and they faintly carried a trace of holiness.

"His purpose should be the Seven Treasures. According to the collected information and images, as well as the dialogues of the NPCs who fought with him, he is collecting the Seven Treasures." Fang Shihan took out the magic crystal recorder and directly showed a battle video.

This battle video was exactly the battle of Holy Light City. At that time, a Tier 4 assassin was hiding in the distance and watching the battle with a magic water mirror.

In the battle, facing the mysterious young man's attack, the emperor of the Glory Empire took out a silver emblem. With just one lift, layers of space barriers blocked in front of the Glory Emperor, blocking all the mysterious young man's attacks.

Then the mysterious young man said a word.

"As expected of the Treasure of the Void! Hand over the Space Emblem and I can spare your life!"

However, the emperor of the Glory Empire did not agree. Relying on his superb space manipulation skills, he fought the scholar evenly. Finally, after the scholar took out his scepter to fight, the two sides quickly decided the winner. The Tier 4 assassin saw that the situation was not good and immediately fled Holy Light City.

"Been looking for the Seven Treasures?" Shi Feng frowned slightly.

The Seven Treasures were also what he had been looking for, but he had only found four so far: the Treasure of Illusion, the Treasure of Time, the Treasure of Fire, and the Treasure of Wind. Among them, the Treasure of Wind was found by Fire Dance and others with great difficulty. There had been no news of the remaining three treasures.

He didn't expect the scholar to be looking for the Seven Treasures as well.

This was undoubtedly bad news for him.

The scholar was probably unable to attack him now due to some restrictions, but these restrictions were undoubtedly being constantly lifted. Otherwise, the scholar would not have dared to kill Tier 5 NPCs now, and even killed the emperor of the Glory Empire. Then, dealing with him would only be a matter of time.

"By the way, Guild Leader, I have found the two weapons you asked me to find a way to find before. Especially the weapon named Broken Steel, I exchanged it for a weapon and armor made of Legendary item fragments." Fang Shihan said and took out two longswords from her backpack, saying with a distressed expression.

Both longswords were Epic-level weapons that could be used until Level 180. Although they were indeed good for the current Tier 4 experts, it was definitely a huge loss that Shi Feng was willing to exchange them for weapons made of Legendary item fragments.

"Good! Great!" Shi Feng looked at the two longswords and was ecstatic.

One was a sky-blue Broken Steel, and the other was a dark-black Nightslasher.

He didn't care at all about Fang Shihan's so-called prodigal behavior, because even if he exchanged more than a dozen weapons made of Legendary item fragments, he wouldn't be able to get a Legendary weapon, let alone the Ten Legendary Weapons of God's Domain, Solomon's Sword.

After the scholar suddenly appeared in Flamehorn City, he thought about how to improve his own strength. Otherwise, with just the Light of Two Worlds, it would be difficult to protect his life in front of the scholar. But now, he had some opportunities.

As soon as Shi Feng took the two longswords, the system prompt sounded in his ear.

System: Discovered all the fragments of Solomon's Sword. Do you want to fuse and recast Solomon's Sword?

"Recast!"
