Chapter 1 The Battlefield

As the longsword in Shi Feng’s hand flashed across the battlefield, countless brilliant starlight formed around him. Compared to the Sword Light Reincarnation he used at Tier 3, the magical domain now boosted its effect range and power by more than double.

*Boom!*

The countless stars in mid-air directly shattered the falling petals. More than a dozen Demon Leaders didn't even have time to resist, and were blasted back hundreds of yards. Their HP visibly plummeted, and even standing up proved difficult.

"Too… strong! He blasted away so many Demon Leaders with a single blow. Could he really be from the Holy City?"

"Tier 4! Holy crap! That power is definitely a Tier 4 class. He’s a Tier 4 Sword Emperor!"

"With that kind of power in Tier 4, he’s probably a powerhouse!"

Everyone present was dumbfounded. They never expected that the seemingly ordinary Shi Feng and his group could blast away more than a dozen Demon Leaders with one move. And he was a genuine Tier 4 Sword Emperor, capable of matching a Tier 4 Great Demon.

"Yuluo, your countryman is too strong. No wonder you were so excited. I didn’t expect him to be a Tier 4 Sword Emperor. With that kind of strength in our city, he'd definitely be in the top five… maybe even top three.” The Oracle, Liang Yun, looked at Shi Feng in the distance, astonished. She never expected Yuluo's companion to be so strong.

A Tier 4 class!

That was what they, as players, had always strived for. Unfortunately, advancing to Tier 4 was too difficult. She had even tried once, but ultimately failed.

Currently, there were only three known Tier 4 players in the main city, each a major figure, incomparable to Tier 3 players like them.

At this moment, not only Liang Yun, but even Yuluo, who knew Shi Feng relatively well, stared wide-eyed, unable to believe it.

Tier 4!

She believed she had improved a lot in this world, but Tier 4 was still a huge threshold. Unless her skill level could improve further, she could only remain at Tier 3, never advancing to Tier 4.

But Shi Feng's level was only 127. He had only just entered this incredible world, yet he was already a Tier 4 Sword Emperor?

However, while the humans were shocked, the Great Demon Nementes was solemn, staring at Shi Feng as if he were a monster.

"Who exactly are you?" The Great Demon Nementes couldn't help but ask, a hint of apprehension in his eyes. "It's impossible for a Favored One of Heaven to have this kind of power!"

After Shi Feng's aura erupted, not to mention the Demon Leaders, even he, as a Demon Marquis, felt suppressed. Even the magic power in his body was greatly suppressed, and he could only unleash up to sixty percent of his usual combat power.

In the realm of Tier 4 classes, let alone a forty percent suppression, even a ten percent suppression was extremely difficult, but Shi Feng had done it.

"That's none of your business." Shi Feng didn't take the Great Demon Nementes' questioning seriously. Instead, he smiled and said, "I'll give you two choices now. One is that we continue fighting and decide who lives and who dies. The other is that you take your people and scram. Don't let me see you again, or I won't let you off as easily as I did just now!"

As Shi Feng finished speaking, the entire place was silent, especially Yuluo and the others, whose mouths were wide open.

"Is he crazy?"

"Even if he is a Tier 4 Sword Emperor, threatening a Demon Marquis like that… Nementes will definitely not let him go!"

"We're doomed! That Nementes will definitely fight us all to the death!"

Demons in God's Domain had always been extremely arrogant, not taking any creatures seriously, not even the Dragon race, let alone a Marquis with noble blood.

Even their commander, Angelica Theresa, wouldn't dare say such a thing.

Because Nementes was truly powerful. Among the Tier 4 demons, he was an outstanding figure, and a candidate for the future Demon Lord. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to become the commander of the demon army.

At this time, the Great Demon Nementes' face was extremely ugly. Everyone could clearly feel the magic power around him starting to rage. A great battle was about to begin…

"We're leaving!"

Nementes stared at Shi Feng, his fists clenched, practically spitting out the words. After saying that, Nementes instantly turned around and disappeared, leaving only a group of demons staring at each other.

"Are you kidding me? He left?"

"What the hell is going on?!"

Everyone present stared blankly at Nementes as he left.

Even with the help of a Tier 4 Sword Emperor like Shi Feng, they were still at a disadvantage. Yet, Nementes had just up and left, completely unlike a self-proclaimed noble demon.

Angelica Theresa, the commander of the Knights, couldn't help but look at Shi Feng strangely, never expecting Shi Feng's words to have such great deterrent power.

"Are the Great Demons here so smart?" Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the departing Nementes, also surprised.

They knew that Shi Feng possessed the Book of Darkness, which could not only summon demons, but also greatly suppress them in battle, even Tier 4 Great Demons. This was why the Demon Leaders were so vulnerable.

However, Shi Feng was the only one present who knew what was going on.

The Book of Darkness had absolute control over demons. Although Nementes didn't know he possessed the Book of Darkness, he had an instinctual fear and apprehension towards it. Coupled with the power he displayed by repelling more than a dozen Demon Leaders, Nementes was filled with dread.

Demons were very intelligent creatures, especially after the system's major upgrade. They almost never did anything without confidence.

Even though Nementes was much stronger than him, he didn't dare to start a war easily because of that slight fear and apprehension towards the Book of Darkness.

With the departure of the demons, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. They began to reorganize their teams and heal the wounded. However, many people stood in front of the golden-haired, crimson-eyed female knight, their faces filled with loss and unwillingness.

Although the female knight still had a lot of HP left, her mind and soul were on the verge of collapse, something even Tier 3 classes could clearly sense.

"Commander!"

"It's all our fault for being incompetent, forcing the Commander to use the Holy Blood Lament, and even forcibly activating the Sword Saint's ultimate technique."

"Damn it! Someone in the city definitely leaked information about this operation, otherwise, how could Nementes have sent a large army to besiege us!"

Whether they were NPCs or players, everyone present looked grief-stricken, clearly filled with respect and love for the female knight.

Because NPCs were different from players. Death and resurrection were very difficult.

"Liang Yun, what do we do now? The Commander definitely can't hold on like this!" Yuluo frantically used healing spells on the female knight, but healing spells could only restore physical damage, not mental and soul damage.

Commander Angelica Theresa was their only hope for surviving in the main city. Because in this world, whether NPCs or players, were not doing so well. This world was a world of dog-eat-dog, many times crueler than God's Domain.

It was because of Angelica Theresa that she was able to live well until now, but now…

"There's nothing we can do. The backlash from the Holy Blood Lament is too severe. It's already amazing that the Commander used it once, but then she used a forbidden technique that consumes a lot of mental power. Even a Tier 4 High Priest probably can't do anything…" As an Oracle, Liang Yun shook her head, her face unspeakably gloomy.

However, just as Yuluo and Liang Yun, two Tier 3 healers, were at a loss, Shi Feng, who was watching everything from a distance, was filled with surprise and shock.

"She's actually Angelica Theresa?" Shi Feng looked at the extremely listless female knight in the distance, unable to believe it.

"Commander, what's wrong with her?" Lonely Nine Extremes looked at the surprised Shi Feng and asked strangely.

In his opinion, nothing in God's Domain could shock or surprise Shi Feng anymore, but now he was surprised by an NPC. It was very strange.

"Don't you usually go to the library to read about the history of God's Domain?" Shi Feng rolled his eyes at Lonely Nine Extremes and said speechlessly, "She's that Angelica Theresa, known as the Valkyrie, one of the two founding elders of the Fire Dragon Empire!"

"She's one of the founding elders of the Four Great Ancient Kingdoms?" Lonely Nine Extremes couldn't help but look at Angelica Theresa upon hearing that.

The Four Great Ancient Kingdoms of God's Domain were the only four ancient empires that had allowed human civilization to continue. It was rumored that the founding emperors possessed incredible power. The Fire Dragon Empire had continued until today largely thanks to the two elders of the Fire Dragon Empire. These two elders were feared even by the gods. Otherwise, the Fire Dragon Empire wouldn't have been able to escape the Twilight of the Gods and continue to exist.

"But looking at her current state, it seems like she's about to die…" Jing Wu Ming couldn't help but say softly, "Could she be someone with the same name?"

"No! She should be that person." Shi Feng said with certainty, "The Holy Sword Blood Moon ranks sixth on the God's Domain Famous Sword List. It's said to be the weapon of Angelica Theresa, the founding elder of the Fire Dragon Empire. The name may be the same, but the weapon is unlikely to be the same."

The thirty-six famous swords of God's Domain were all unique. Their wielders were all famous figures in the history of God's Domain. Or rather, it was because these famous people wielded these swords that these swords became unique and famous throughout God's Domain.

"Then what do we do now? If she dies, will it greatly change the history of God's Domain?" Lonely Nine Extremes asked anxiously.

Although he couldn't tell whether this was really the ancient era of God's Domain, if it wasn't, it would be fine. But if it was, then the consequences would be very bad.

However, just as Lonely Nine Extremes finished speaking, a cold, mechanical system notification sounded in Shi Feng's ear.
