Chapter 1 The Secret Chamber

In the core secret chamber of the City Lord's Mansion, as Shi Feng chanted a series of incantations, the divine script on the Legacy Scroll in his hand gradually lit up, radiating a five-colored brilliance that instantly illuminated the entire dark chamber.

As the radiance enveloped the entire chamber, the five-colored divine script on the scroll flowed into the air under the guidance of the incantations. Before long, a dark vortex of immense darkness appeared in mid-air.

This dark vortex was three meters high. Its mere existence caused the magic in the already dense core secret chamber to become incredibly thin, like a giant beast devouring everything, never to be filled.

"What a terrifying magic drain. Just how harsh is the environment of this Legacy Land?" Shi Feng couldn't help but click his tongue as he looked at the incredibly thin magic environment in the chamber.

Regarding the Tier 4 promotion, he had originally planned to challenge it after breaking through the limits of the Magic Body, which would give him a greater chance of success. After all, once one reached Tier 4, there was no easy or difficult option for the task; it all depended on how far the player could go.

This was why the first three tiers required a great deal of accumulation, because when it came to the Tier 4 promotion, it wasn't a matter of completing the promotion task or not, but rather of reaching a certain level.

Only players with a strong foundation of accumulation could persevere longer and go further.

Of course, different Legacy Lands varied somewhat. The harsher the environment, the harder it was to obtain the legacy. However, Tier 4 Legacy Lands were extremely difficult to find. In Tier 4 promotion tasks, players spent eighty to ninety percent of their time searching for a Legacy Land.

It could be said that players were already incredibly lucky just to find one, and there was no chance to be picky. Therefore, luck played a significant role in Tier 4 promotion.

Good luck meant finding a Legacy Land with a decent environment, making it easier to obtain the legacy. Bad luck meant finding a Legacy Land with an extremely harsh environment, where simply entering could lead to failure. He had encountered such situations before, as he had a wealth of failure experience in challenging Tier 4 promotion tasks...

At this moment, through the teleportation channel opened by the Legacy Scroll, it was impossible to directly determine the environment inside the Legacy Land. However, judging from the frantic absorption of the magic in the secret chamber, the magic density in the Legacy Land was quite low, even lower than the nearly emptied magic in the current secret chamber.

Before Shi Feng could observe for long, a system notification sounded in his ear.

System: The player has opened the teleportation channel to the Legacy Land. Please enter the teleportation channel within three minutes, or the teleportation channel will automatically close.

System: The player has initiated the Tier 4 Sword Saint promotion task. The task is to enter the Legacy Land and obtain the Ancient Legacy Power. Reward: Unknown.

System: After entering the Legacy Land, the player will be unable to communicate with the outside world. If the player dies in the Legacy Land, the player will be directly teleported out of the Legacy Land, level reduced by five, soul weakened for three natural days. Please make your decision carefully.

"Five levels? This Legacy Land is truly ruthless." Shi Feng's brow furrowed as he listened.

Generally, the level reduction for failing in a Legacy Land was only two or three levels. The penalty for failure here was as high as five levels, making it the highest penalty he had ever heard of.

However, Shi Feng didn't hesitate for long. Without a word, he directly stepped into the dark vortex.

If possible, he wouldn't want to enter such a Legacy Land. But if he gave up, it would be considered a failure of the Tier 4 promotion task, and he would have to wait a considerable amount of time before attempting the Tier 4 promotion task again. This was something he absolutely didn't want.

After all, besides participating in the Frost Heaven Sword's secret operation later, the Holy Dragon's Trial was not a joke. If he gave up entering the Legacy Land, he would have to face the Holy Dragon's Trial in Tier 3, and challenging the Holy Dragon's Trial after Tier 4 promotion was out of the question.

So, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and push forward. The only comforting thing was that the Epic Legacy Scroll gave him three chances to challenge, two more than the Dark-Gold Legacy Scroll, which greatly increased the chances of success.

As Shi Feng stepped into the dark vortex, he felt a darkness before his eyes and a sense of spinning. When his vision returned, the scene before him had completely changed.

He found himself in mid-air. The sky was dark and filled with spatial rifts, as if the entire world was collapsing. Beneath his feet was a bottomless abyss, and the magic in the space was so thin that it was close to zero.

"This..." Shi Feng was stunned for a moment.

He had been to many Legacy Lands, but he had never seen anything like this Legacy Land. Or rather, this was not a Legacy Land at all, but a world on the verge of destruction.

If he didn't have an Epic Magic Body, which allowed him to survive in an environment with extremely thin magic, he would have already fainted.

Seeing that he was about to fall into the bottomless abyss, Shi Feng dared not hold back and immediately used Wind Domain to begin aerial flight.

However, before Shi Feng could fly for a short while, the bottomless abyss beneath his feet emitted an incredibly powerful attraction, making Shi Feng feel incredibly heavy all over, and the weight increased with time.

"Unable to fly for long?"

Shi Feng looked at the bottomless abyss that was constantly pulling him down, vaguely understanding the rules here. He immediately turned and flew towards the nearest cliff.

400 yards... 300 yards... 200 yards...

As Shi Feng's aerial time increased, the gravitational pressure he experienced increased from two or three times the normal to more than ten times. Moreover, the multiple increased by two or three times every second, making Shi Feng's falling speed faster and faster, and his control over his body became increasingly difficult.

"Faster! Even faster!"

Feeling the increasingly strong gravity, Shi Feng desperately approached the edge of the bottomless abyss cliff.

When he was less than twenty yards away from the cliff edge, the original aerial flight effect suddenly stopped, causing Shi Feng to fall towards the bottomless abyss like a meteorite. His falling speed became faster and faster, and his whole body became heavier and heavier.

"No, if I continue to fall like this, I'm afraid I'll be crushed to death by this terrifying gravity before I even hit the ground. It seems I have to gamble."

After falling for more than ten seconds, Shi Feng already felt incredibly strained. If he continued to fall for a few dozen seconds, he would be crushed to death by the excessive gravity.

Immediately, Shi Feng laboriously took out a few High-grade Ice Grenades from his backpack and detonated them directly behind him.

Boom boom boom...

A series of explosions rang out, and ice flowers shattered in the air.

Shi Feng was covered in a layer of frost due to the impact of the explosion, and his HP sharply decreased by more than 20%.

However, Shi Feng was also closer to the cliff face as a result, and was even getting closer and closer to the cliff.

Although he was getting closer and closer to the cliff face, Shi Feng's expression became more and more solemn, because at his current falling speed, he would not be able to survive if he crashed into the cliff wall.

For a moment, Shi Feng's falling speed became faster and faster, and faint flames began to appear all over his body.

Just as Shi Feng was about to turn into a ball of fire and crash into the rock wall, Shi Feng directly used Heavenly Dragon Power, instantly greatly increasing his attributes, defense, and HP. He forcibly drew the Abyssal Blade from his waist and stabbed it towards the rock wall.

"Stop!"

Boom!

With a loud bang, the entire rock wall not only exploded, but the Abyssal Blade also easily pierced into the rock wall, and Shi Feng slid down with it. Shi Feng's HP flowed away frantically like a burst flood.

75%... 60%... 30%...

Just as the millions of HP were about to drop to less than 500,000, Shi Feng slowly stopped falling, so that he would not be crushed to death by the terrifying gravity.

As he stopped, Shi Feng breathed a deep sigh of relief. He was only a sliver away from being finished. Fortunately, he had a burst skill like Heavenly Dragon Power, otherwise he would definitely have died.

"But is this really a Legacy Land?"

Shi Feng looked at the bottomless abyss under his feet, his heart full of doubt.

Normal Legacy Lands, although the environment was not good, would not be like this. At this time, let alone monsters, there was not even a person or thing with signs of life. Besides the endless abyss under his feet, there were only the surrounding cliffs. How could this look like an Ancient Legacy?

However, just as Shi Feng was full of doubts about this, countless roars appeared in the bottomless abyss.

Before long, several huge figures emerged from the abyss. As these figures appeared, Shi Feng was completely stunned.

"How is this possible!"

Shi Feng stared at those huge figures, his eyes full of disbelief.

Because these figures were not anything else, but dragons, which were extremely difficult to encounter even in God's Domain. At this time, these dragons had obviously discovered him...
