Chapter 1 The Death of Qihuang

The death of Qihuang threw the members of Seven Sins Flower into chaos. Moreover, the heroic spirit warriors summoned by Qihuang did not disappear with her death but were completely freed. Without any coordination, their combat power was greatly reduced, making it much easier for Thunder Eagle to deal with them.

Seeing that the heroic spirit warriors no longer had the strength to restrain Thunder Eagle, the members of Seven Sins Flower completely lost their composure. Ignoring everything else, they rushed headlong into the main hall of Thunderous Shrine.

At this time, only the main hall was their only chance of survival, because it was guarded by 150th-level Tier 3 Shrine Guardians, completely prohibiting players from fighting inside.

This was why Di Tian desperately guarded the entrance to the main hall, to prevent Lunhui and others from entering, making it impossible to deal with Lunhui.

Shi Feng watched the members of Seven Sins Flower scattering and did not pursue them. He immediately picked up the two items dropped by Qihuang.

Although level 75 Dark-Gold equipment held no attraction for him now, it was top-grade equipment for other experts. Some top experts didn't even have it, using at most level 75 Fine-Gold equipment. Only a monster-level expert like Qihuang could enjoy this treatment.

After all, the current top experts were only level 77, and it was extremely difficult for the various super forces to obtain level 75 Dark-Gold equipment.

Moreover, compared to level 75 Dark-Gold equipment, he cared more about the mysterious ancient page that Qihuang had taken out earlier.

Being able to forcibly summon heroic spirits in Thunder God's Secret Territory was definitely not a simple feat. At least, he couldn't think of anything that could summon heroic spirits in Thunder God's Secret Territory.

Thunder God's Secret Territory had world rules set by Thunder God. Unless Thunder God allowed it, even Legendary items couldn't break these rules, but this mysterious ancient page did it, showing how extraordinary this item was.

If he abandoned the mysterious ancient page to pursue the members of Seven Sins Flower, it would be a case of penny wise, pound foolish.

"This is... a fragment of the Ancient God's Scripture!" Shi Feng couldn't help but be shocked when he examined the mysterious ancient page.

Ancient Gods were the title for the earliest batch of gods. Legend had it that the Ancient Gods created the Divine Domain Continent. Later, due to a great war, the Ancient Gods disappeared from the Divine Domain and never appeared again.

In the Divine Domain, anything related to the Ancient Gods was a treasure.

Among the many Ancient God items, the most famous was the Ancient God's Scripture Fragment. Even the guild wars and the wars between kingdoms and empires in the Divine Domain were due to the Ancient God's Scripture Fragment.

Each page of these Ancient God's Scripture Fragments possessed incredible power. Legend had it that if one could collect a complete piece, they would possess earth-shattering power and could contend with gods.

The gods here were not just Tier 6 God-ranked players, but true Tier 6 gods.

The founding rulers of some kingdoms and empires in the current Divine Domain Continent were rumored to have obtained the power of the Ancient God's Scripture Fragment to achieve this. Otherwise, in that era, the human race would not have been able to compete with the various powerful alien races for territory in the Divine Domain and establish such a vast land.

At this time, Shi Feng understood why Qihuang could forcibly summon heroic spirits in Thunder God's Secret Territory. If it was the Ancient God's Scripture Fragment, this kind of thing was not so unbelievable. After all, the Ancient Gods were much stronger than the gods born in the Divine Domain Continent. The Ancient God's Scripture Fragment carefully made by the Ancient Gods was naturally not something that the world rules set by Thunder God could contend with.

Immediately, Shi Feng carefully examined the Ancient God's Scripture Fragment in his hand.

Ancient God's Scripture Fragment, Page Five, Epic item, an ancient page. Although it had undergone the baptism of a long time, the page still retained indelible divine inscriptions and possessed incredible power.

Skill 1: Heroic Spirit Summoning. Sacrifice a portion of one's soul to forcibly awaken twelve ancient heroic spirit warriors to fight for you. The summoned twelve heroic spirit warriors are one tier higher than the player, up to Tier 3. Duration: twelve hours. Cooldown: five natural days (Weak souls cannot perform the summoning).

Skill 2: Soul Absorption. Can absorb the souls of near-death creatures, with a certain chance to condense a drop of Soul Essence. Cooldown: six hours. (The stronger the creature, the easier it is to condense Soul Essence.)

Skill 3: Soul Enhancement. Can enhance the soul of a creature by consuming Soul Essence. Cooldown: one natural day. (The stronger the soul of the creature being enhanced, the more Soul Essence is required.)

This item is soul-bound, non-transferable, cannot be stored in the warehouse, and has a certain chance of dropping upon death. (Guaranteed drop in a soul-weakened state.)

"Amazing! Absolutely amazing!" Shi Feng looked at the attributes of the Ancient God's Scripture Fragment, and his heart was filled with indescribable shock and excitement. "No wonder the major forces in the previous life desperately fought for these Ancient God's Scripture Fragments. Just one page has such power. If one could collect a complete piece, it would be terrifying!"

The Heroic Spirit Summoning was a divine skill for the current expert players. After all, twelve Tier 3 NPCs working together was no joke. If it weren't for the watershed of level 100, Thunder Eagle would not have been a match for the twelve heroic spirit warriors at all.

Moreover, compared to Heroic Spirit Summoning, Shi Feng valued the Soul Enhancement skill even more.

It was simply a divine skill!

The current players may not know the true meaning of the soul, but as the players' levels and tiers continue to increase, and they come into contact with more and more NPCs and monsters, they will know how important the soul is.

Even when players want to advance to Tier 5, the strength of the soul is essential, not to mention Tier 6 God-rank. Without a strong body and a strong soul, how can one become a god?

Moreover, the skill description clearly stated that it could be used on creatures, which meant that it could not only be used on players, but also on NPCs.

For NPCs, the soul represents an NPC's potential.

The stronger an NPC's soul, the higher its relative potential, and the easier it will be to break through the barriers of tiers in the future.

Nowadays, NPC guards are everywhere in the Divine Domain, but NPC guards with high potential are extremely rare. Even first-rate guilds would be overjoyed to obtain a Mithril-rank guard and use it to guard the guild's important areas, frantically investing various resources and treating such NPC guards like ancestors.

Firstly, Mithril-rank NPC guards have extremely strong combat power. With the advantage of levels and equipment, they can completely overwhelm the current top experts.

Secondly, there are no bottlenecks for Mithril-rank NPCs to advance to Tier 3 jobs. As long as they reach level 100, they are Tier 3 jobs, and some may even break through to Tier 4 jobs. Reaching Tier 4 jobs not only greatly helps defend towns but is also a terrifying meat grinder in guild wars.

However, it is too difficult to obtain Mithril-rank NPC guards. Even Zero Wing, with all of Shi Feng's efforts, has only managed to obtain twenty-two of them. This is still thanks to knowing some clues about those famous NPCs from the previous life, otherwise, they wouldn't even get ten.

But now, it's different.

With the Soul Enhancement skill, increasing the potential of NPCs is no longer a problem. Mithril-rank NPCs are hard to find, but there are quite a few Mysterious-Iron-rank NPCs.

As long as there are enough Soul Essence and enough resources, they can completely train a large army of NPC guards, allowing Zero Wing's strength to soar and contend with those super forces.

Just as Shi Feng was thinking about how to quickly train a batch of NPC guards, the battle with Seven Sins Flower came to an end.

In this battle, over half of the Seven Sins Flower members were killed, and these Seven Sins Flower members were all executives. Fifteen Blood God Guards were killed, which was a heavy loss for Seven Sins Flower. It would probably take a long time to recover, and by then, the major super forces would have already stabilized in Thunder God's Secret Territory.

"Black Flame, the Blood Demon Seal has been lifted. Now the people from the major super forces have gone to the main hall of Thunderous Shrine. Let's go in quickly too," Yi Yun said excitedly, looking at the lifted seal.

In Thunder God's Secret Territory, the main hall of Thunderous Shrine is the most important place and their ultimate destination. The side halls had so many good things, so one could imagine what the main hall would be like.

"Okay, let's go in too," Shi Feng nodded.
