Chapter 1 The Sealed Magic Crystal Pillar

In the center of the hall covered in magic imprints, a magic crystal stone pillar was completely sealed by a magic array, preventing players from getting close.

The magic array sealing the magic crystal stone pillar seemed simple, but its defensive strength was such that even a Tier 4 legendary combatant couldn't damage it in the slightest. Players couldn't forcibly take the item inside the magic crystal stone pillar. The only way was to defeat the guardian boss and then slowly unravel the magic array's seal.

Shi Feng came to the barrier of the magic array and gently clicked on it. Immediately, a system panel for the magic array appeared, displaying all its information.

"Amazing. If you haven't mastered advanced magic arrays, you'd probably just have to watch helplessly," Shi Feng said, slightly surprised after a rough look.

In God's Domain, there were two ways to remove a magic array seal on a treasure.

The first was to kill the guardian boss, which would automatically解除the magic seal.

The second was to rely on the player's own ability to unlock the magic seal. This didn't depend on the player's combat power but only on their understanding of magic arrays.

The first method was the easiest, but as players leveled up, they would encounter more and more of the second type. That's why becoming a magician was so important in his previous life. Even high-level players who didn't like learning about magic arrays had to study them seriously, especially magic-type players.

Moreover, it was because of the magic array unlocking issue that the major guilds began to value the study of magic arrays. Later on, the status of a magic master wasn't lower than that of a forging master or an alchemy master.

To unlock the magic array currently sealing the magic crystal stone pillar, one had to have mastered advanced magic arrays. Otherwise, one could only turn around and leave, unable to do anything else.

Generally, when players reached level 70, the magic seals they encountered were at the beginner level. Intermediate levels were extremely rare, but the magic array here required players to reach an advanced level to解除it, making the difficulty unimaginable.

It should be known that even though the major superpowers had many players studying magic arrays, very few could reach the intermediate level, let alone the advanced level.

In other words, if someone came here without mastering advanced magic arrays, they wouldn't be able to obtain any of the most valuable items in the Ancient God's Maze, even if they had the strength to defeat the boss.

After Shi Feng finished examining the completed magic array, he immediately began to unlock it.

Unlocking a magic array was neither difficult nor easy. It was just like learning a magic array. Players needed to be able to trace the complete magic array. As long as they could trace the sealing magic array, it could be unlocked. However, learning a magic array itself required a lot of time and concentration. If there were monsters nearby, it would be impossible to解除the magic array.

At this moment, Shi Feng was very glad that he had already reached the advanced level. Otherwise, he would have had to watch the bloodline slip through his fingers.

Finally, after Shi Feng spent five hours, he traced the sealing magic array. Immediately, the barrier covering the entire magic crystal stone pillar began to shatter, and the magic crystal stone pillar was completely revealed before his eyes.

The entire magic crystal stone pillar was translucent, and the bloodline stored inside shone brightly. Previously, Shi Feng hadn't felt anything because of the magic barrier's obstruction. However, as the magic barrier dissipated, Shi Feng felt a suppression of his life level.

Just looking at that bloodline, Shi Feng felt a considerable pressure on his existence.

"An advanced bloodline?!" Shi Feng exclaimed in surprise.

Bloodlines were divided into three types: common, advanced, and top-tier. The bloodline he obtained from the Demon God Temple was a common Dark Iron Bloodline. However, because the Dark Iron Bloodline was very suitable for the Swordsman class, it could be considered the pinnacle of common bloodlines. Yet, he was now being suppressed by the bloodline inside the stone pillar.

The only possibility was that its life level was even higher than his.

And what was above a common bloodline was only an advanced bloodline. Although he also wanted to imagine it was a top-tier bloodline, the value of any top-tier bloodline was close to that of a legendary item. The possibility of it appearing in the Ancient God's Maze was too low. The possibility of an advanced bloodline was greater.

But even so, it was still amazing.

Because any advanced bloodline could allow players to avoid many detours on the path to advancement. As long as they worked hard and had a little talent, they could easily enter the Tier 5 realm, and it would even provide some minor assistance in advancing to Tier 6. This was why the various powers in God's Domain were going crazy for bloodlines.

Immediately, Shi Feng walked up to the magic crystal stone pillar, took out a crystal bottle containing the bloodline, and couldn't wait to check it out.

Elemental Bloodline: After obtaining this, players can improve the compatibility of all magic skills and become the darling of the elements. Primarily improves Intelligence and Spirit, followed by Agility, Endurance, and Strength.

"It really is an advanced bloodline!" Shi Feng couldn't help but get excited when he saw it.

Although the attribute bar didn't specify the level of the bloodline, common bloodlines mainly improved one attribute, while advanced bloodlines mainly improved two attributes. The Elemental Bloodline primarily improved two attributes, so it was naturally an advanced bloodline. Moreover, the ability it granted players was simply too powerful. The compatibility of all magic skills was improved, making it at least stronger than those advanced bloodlines he had seen in the Demon God Temple.

If it were obtained by a magic-type player, it would be an all-around improvement for the player. Moreover, the compatibility improved by an advanced bloodline was much higher than that of a common bloodline. The Elemental Bloodline could be said to be the best of the advanced bloodlines. Its value was definitely comparable to a fragment of a top-quality legendary item.

Afterward, Shi Feng carefully put away the Elemental Bloodline and began exploring the Ancient God's Maze.

The entire Ancient God's Maze was very complex. Every time he entered a hall's domain, he had to face a bunch of elemental monsters. Moreover, their levels were obviously not comparable to those in the initial hall. They were all above level 75. However, after equipping the Twilight Blade, Shi Feng's combat power had increased a lot, and his speed in killing these elemental monsters had also increased a lot.

However, Shi Feng only dared to observe the guardian bosses in the halls from a distance. Because in the several halls he had discovered in a row, the guardian bosses were all at least High Great Lord ranked Archaic Species, and there were even Tier 4 Legendary monsters. Without being able to use summons, head-on confrontation would definitely lead to death.

However, while he couldn't do anything about these guardian bosses, Shi Feng didn't want to let go of any of the elemental monsters in the halls. After all, these were Epic Armor Shards and Elemental Cores. If he missed them, it would be difficult to get such an opportunity again in the future.

Shi Feng brushed these elemental monsters for twelve days, cleaning them all up before going to the next one.

While Shi Feng was constantly exploring the Ancient God's Maze, he came to a very special hall. This hall was decorated better than the other halls. He could even see various huge stone pillars made of magic crystal stones. Moreover, the entire hall was gray and dark. Even with Shi Feng's physique, he could only see a distance of fifty or sixty yards. Anything further was impossible.

As Shi Feng stepped onto the floor made of magic crystal stones, he suddenly felt it became incredibly difficult to breathe. What followed was a deafening roar, as if the entire world was shaking.

After the roar disappeared, Shi Feng hadn't recovered yet when the entire hall suddenly lit up.

In a hall that was as large as several ten-thousand-person stadiums, a bronze dragon that was fifty or sixty meters tall appeared before him. The terrifying pressure seemed to tear the air apart, and the flapping of its wings even made the entire space unable to withstand it, giving one the feeling that it would shatter at any moment, leaving Shi Feng completely unable to move even half an inch…
