Chapter 1 The Graveyard

The small high-rise graveyard was located near the center of the forest. Just getting close was extremely difficult, and the density of undead was several times greater than outside the forest. A lone second-tier player wouldn't even be able to approach, let alone charge into the graveyard.

Facing hundreds of Lord-ranked undead head-on, even Shi Feng felt his scalp tingle.

Fortunately, he had twenty-one Abyssal Phantoms to resist. With their strength surpassing that of Lord-ranked undead, they could barely prevent these undead from getting close. However, the duration of the Abyssal Phantoms was limited, and they couldn't withstand these endless undead for long.

If he couldn't stop these undead from approaching, Shi Feng was confident he could escape their attacks alive, but he wouldn't be able to do anything else. He would be too busy dealing with their relentless assault.

It could be said that the key to obtaining the inheritance was to make good use of the Abyssal Phantoms' time.

"Forty-two seconds to reach the graveyard, just about as expected." Shi Feng glanced at the remaining time on the Abyssal Phantoms and breathed a sigh of relief. "The remaining eighteen seconds should be enough to activate the graveyard."

As for his choice of inheritance, the reason he didn't choose the magnificent temple in the very center of the forest, besides the presence of a fourth-tier Heroic Spirit, was also because there wasn't enough time. The second-tier graveyard was already the limit he could reach.

Within the graveyard, before Shi Feng could even catch his breath, the Heroic Spirit standing quietly before the tombstone, clad in silver armor and wielding a flame battle blade, suddenly opened his eyes. Instantly, the entire graveyard space was enveloped in a layer of pale red domain, causing Shi Feng's attributes, physique, and movement speed to plummet drastically, stabilizing only after dropping by 20%.

Urdia (Flame Knight), Heroic Spirit, third-tier Battle King, Level 101, Health Points: 78,000,000.

"A self-contained domain?!" Shi Feng's expression changed drastically as he looked at Urdia.

He had no doubt that Urdia possessed the ability to instantly kill third-tier players, but he hadn't expected him to be this strong.

Compared to other third-tier Heroic Spirits, Urdia's health points might not have been much higher, only exceeding them by twenty million. However, for Heroic Spirits of the same tier and level, the amount of health points largely reflected a Heroic Spirit's strength.

In other words, Urdia was more than 30% stronger than the previous third-tier Heroic Spirits in terms of attributes alone, and the increase in combat power was self-evident. Combined with the self-contained domain that only fourth-tier NPCs could typically master, killing third-tier players was as easy as playing around.

"Adventurer, you are very brave to come to this resting place to seek the inheritance of the Saint. You are the first in thousands of years. I hope you can bring me some fun." Urdia looked at Shi Feng and didn't immediately attack like the previous Heroic Spirits. Instead, he spoke and laughed like a real person, slowly walking toward Shi Feng.

Seeing such a Heroic Spirit, a chill ran down Shi Feng's spine.

Heroic Spirits were, after all, not NPCs, so their intelligence was much weaker. He had never seen a third-tier Heroic Spirit with such high intelligence.

Seeing Urdia approaching within fifty yards, Shi Feng didn't dare to be careless. Without a word, he took out the Ring of Gospel and used seven thousand Magic Crystals in one go, activating the Ring of Radiance and Miniature World.

But that wasn't enough. Shi Feng also used Blade Liberation to greatly increase his basic attributes. At the same time, he activated Twilight of the Gods and Twilight Shadow of the Twilight Blade, creating eight physical phantoms.

Because Shi Feng's own skills greatly increased his basic attributes, these physical phantoms also inherited the increased power. Each of them possessed power close to that of a High Lord of the same level.

Eight physical phantoms comparable to High Lords could fight even against a fourth-tier Legendary monster.

But before Shi Feng could control these phantoms, Urdia suddenly disappeared from the spot, instantly appearing in front of the eight phantoms and slashing out with the flame battle blade in his hand.

A flash of blade light bloomed, and eight blade rays swept towards the eight phantoms.

Shi Feng's eight phantoms reacted quickly, using their swords to block the blade rays. However, the moment the blades touched the blade rays, it was as if they had been hit by a person. They were sent flying back more than ten yards, and the blades let out a low hum. Their health points dropped by over twenty thousand...

"Bronze-ranked combat technique?" Shi Feng looked at the dissipated eight blade rays, his face unspeakably gloomy.

Sword Light Slash!

Although it was only Eight Extremes Slash, which was less than Nine Dragons Cloud, the completion of the combat technique was much higher than that of Nine Dragons Cloud. It was no longer comparable to a high-level combat technique. The only explanation was that it was a Bronze-ranked combat technique.

A third-tier Heroic Spirit who could use a Bronze-ranked combat technique!

If he said this out loud, probably no one would believe him. They would even laugh at Shi Feng for being scared silly. Heroic Spirits might be heroes after death, but they were not heroes after all. Especially with their weak intelligence, they were inferior to ordinary NPCs. Being able to use a high-level combat technique was already amazing. Using a Bronze-ranked combat technique that even third-tier NPCs might not be able to master was simply a dream.

But this was actually happening...

After Urdia repelled the eight phantoms with one move, his gaze turned directly to Shi Feng himself. Immediately, he used Flame Charge, charging forward like a beam of fire. The completion of the skill was at least 99% if not 100%.

Facing the charging Urdia, Shi Feng didn't dare to take it head-on. He directly used Phantom Kill, having his doppelganger use Blade Liberation to resist.

With such a highly intelligent third-tier Heroic Spirit, not to mention Urdia's many unknown methods, simply relying on that extraordinary power and combat technique could send him, whose attributes had decreased due to using Twilight of the Gods, flying or even kill him.

Now was the third-tier class advancement quest. If he was killed, he would have to wait a long time for the next third-tier class advancement. He absolutely couldn't take this risk.

The moment the doppelganger appeared and used Sword's Orbit, Urdia's Flame Charge came to an abrupt stop. He plunged the flame battle blade into the ground, and dozens of blade rays shot out from the ground beneath the doppelganger's feet.

Third-tier skill Storm Annihilation!

In just an instant, Sword's Orbit was completely broken. Shi Feng had to divert a lot of his mental energy to have the doppelganger use Sword's Path.

The Sword's Path, which resembled orbiting stars, shattered directly in the face of the incoming blade rays, forcing the doppelganger to retreat repeatedly. Although the blade rays were completely blocked by Sword's Path, the doppelganger still retreated more than ten steps. Each collision caused the doppelganger to lose nearly ten thousand health points. A single skill caused the doppelganger to lose over two hundred thousand health points...

At this time, the burst doppelganger couldn't even delay the time, let alone pull aggro.

Seeing that the remaining time for the Abyssal Phantoms blocking the surrounding undead was getting shorter and shorter, and the doppelganger couldn't hold Urdia back at all, Shi Feng was also extremely anxious.

If he activated the Dual Burst mode, he could indeed resist Urdia for a while, but only the player himself could activate the graveyard. It was meaningless for his main body to hold Urdia back.

And the invincible skill of Absolute Domain was his trump card to save his life and leave. Otherwise, being killed after taking the inheritance would be the same as getting nothing, and the quest would directly fail.

"Not bad doppelganger, but it ends here!"

Urdia smiled as he looked at the doppelganger who hadn't died. He suddenly pulled out the flame battle blade and appeared in front of Shi Feng's doppelganger, using Sword Light Eight Extremes Slash once again.

This time, the eight blade rays didn't scatter to deal with the eight phantoms. Instead, they focused on dealing with one doppelganger. The power of the blade rays was even stronger than Storm Annihilation.

"Dragon Soul!"

Looking at the incoming blade rays, Shi Feng understood very well that if the doppelganger was killed, then everything would be over. Immediately, he used the strongest skill attached to the Abyss Lord, Dragon Soul. He would increase some attributes if he could. It was completely treating a dead horse as if it were still alive.

The doppelganger suddenly let out a dragon's roar, the sound echoing throughout the entire forest. And the doppelganger instantly transformed into a pitch-black giant dragon with a body that was more than ten meters tall, more than double the size of its previous four or five meters.

Facing the flying eight blade rays, the Black Dragon Phantom only needed one claw to block them all.

Boom!

The eight blade rays collided with the dragon claw, and the intense impact spread to a hundred yards away. A crack was even created in the entire space. And the Black Dragon Phantom only took one step back...
