Chapter 1 Aftermath

After Shi Feng swung his sword in the abyss rock wall, the sword light instantly turned into a ball of true crimson flames.

The appearance of the true crimson flames directly caused the entire space to shake, as if the entire space was about to be burned into nothingness by the flames.

The true crimson flames instantly engulfed the surrounding rock walls.

Boom!

With a bang, countless rubble exploded. The rock wall space, originally the size of half a room, directly turned into a space the size of a small house, and the surrounding rock walls were as smooth as if they had been polished...

"So strong!"

Shi Feng looked at the cave that suddenly appeared in front of him, feeling indescribable surprise in his heart.

He originally just wanted to try it out, but he didn't expect it to really work. Although the Holy Devour he used this time was much worse than Cang Lan Saint's second sword, and could even be said to be incomplete, its power was definitely close to that of a high-level Legendary.

With such destructive power, the efficiency of clearing the path to the Legacy Fragment had increased by more than dozens of times.

Just as Shi Feng was about to use Holy Devour again, he felt a dizzying sensation in his head, even a stinging pain, as if he had overused his brain before.

"Holy Devour is still a bit too much for me right now?" Shi Feng said with a wry smile.

Although he had indeed used the Holy Devour, the mental strain on him was like instantly using more than ten Bronze Combat Techniques, the consumption was simply terrifying.

He wouldn't be able to use it more than three or four times before his mental power would be completely exhausted. And this was because his mental level had reached Tier 4. If it hadn't reached Tier 4, he probably would have been forcibly logged off to rest after that one attack.

Just as Shi Feng was preparing to sit down to rest and recover, thinking about how to possibly improve the Holy Devour and reduce mental consumption, the abyss rock wall that Shi Feng had blasted a large hole into suddenly trembled.

Before Shi Feng could react, the shattered rock walls suddenly condensed together, forming a humanoid stone golem that was as tall as a person. It erupted with a terrifying magic power fluctuation that directly froze all the magic elements in the surrounding space, preventing players from mobilizing even a trace of external magic power.

Outworld Guardian Golem, Non-Elemental Creature, High Lord, Level 121, HP 53,500,000.

"Non-Elemental Creature?" Shi Feng looked at the suddenly appearing stone golem, feeling somewhat surprised.

In his memory, there weren't any Non-Elemental Creatures in God's Domain. If it wasn't an Elemental Creature, it would be directly marked as a specific race, such as Giant, Elf, Beast, Demonic Beast, etc.

Before Shi Feng could react to what was happening, the stone golem flashed in front of Shi Feng. Its two arms, transformed into stone blades, instantly shattered the space, unleashing more than a dozen slashes in an instant. The speed and reaction were so fast that they couldn't be compared to ordinary High Lords, completely chasing after Tier 4 Legendary monsters.

However, Shi Feng himself was not to be trifled with. As a master who had grasped the Domain, his own attributes were completely on par with Legendary monsters of the same level. It was difficult for Legendary monsters of the same level to hit him, let alone a stone golem whose speed and reaction were only at the Legendary level.

The Abyssal Blade in Shi Feng's hand transformed into a sky full of stars.

Sword Light Reincarnation!

Bang, bang, bang...

Not only were the stone golem's dozen or so slashes instantly deflected, but streaks of dark sword light engulfed the stone golem instead.

As the dark sword light landed on the stone golem's body, a crisp metallic clashing sound echoed throughout the rock cave.

The sword light struck the stone golem's body without causing any damage. Instead, Shi Feng couldn't help but take half a step back. The arm holding the Abyssal Blade trembled as if it had struck divine iron.

"What kind of monster is this?" Shi Feng looked at the stone golem, which was unscathed and hadn't even lost a single point of HP, his eyes filled with disbelief.

The Abyssal Blade in his hand could even scratch the skin of an Upper Legendary, but now, when it struck the stone golem, it didn't even leave a white mark. What's more, it didn't even lose a single point of HP. This defense was simply heaven-defying.

However, Shi Feng's surprise and astonishment didn't stop the stone golem's movements. It continued to attack Shi Feng relentlessly.

After fighting for several minutes, the stone golem's movements didn't show any signs of weakening or pausing. It was like a tireless machine. As for the hundreds of sword strikes that Shi Feng had landed on the stone golem, they were completely useless. Even using Light Shadow had no effect.

"Invincible?"

Shi Feng felt a headache facing the stone golem's continuous attacks.

He had originally seen hope of obtaining the Legacy Fragment, but he didn't expect that destroying the rock wall would summon such a monster. Its HP was only 50 million, and it should be easy to deal with, but he just couldn't hurt it...

If he continued to fight like this, he would be exhausted to death before he could even get down to retrieve the Legacy Fragment.

As time slowly passed, he unconsciously fought for more than ten minutes, trying every possible weakness against the stone golem, but still to no avail.

Shi Feng also felt his stamina and mental power declining rapidly. If he continued to fight with this momentum, without the replenishing and restorative effects of magic power, he would be killed within an hour due to exhaustion of stamina and mental power.

"I'll risk it!" Shi Feng gritted his teeth, directly raising the Abyssal Blade with both hands and using Holy Devour on the stone golem again. "If this doesn't work, I can only use an outburst skill!"

Holy Devour could be said to be the limit of the power he could unleash in his current normal state. If he still couldn't damage the stone golem, then the only way to surpass the power of Holy Devour was to use an outburst skill.

Instantly, a sword light flashed, and terrifying flames directly engulfed the entire stone golem.

Boom!

The stone golem, struck by the true crimson flames, slammed into the rock wall like a cannonball. Cracks appeared on its originally indestructible stone body, and its HP visibly plummeted, losing as much as 3.7 million.

"It worked?" Shi Feng looked at the stone golem lying on the ground, feeling surprised.

Using Light Shadow earlier had no effect at all, but the second sword, Holy Devour, was incredibly effective, far exceeding his imagination.

Did it break through the defense's limit value?

"No, even if it broke through the defense's limit value, it wouldn't have such a good effect," Shi Feng couldn't help but shake his head, rejecting this idea.

He had encountered monsters breaking through the defense limit value before, but there would never be such a large damage shift from zero to 3.7 million. Moreover, even if the defense limit value wasn't broken, the monster itself would still take damage.

"Non-Elemental Creature, magic power shielding, Holy Devour?" Shi Feng looked at the stone golem, which had stood up again, and kept thinking about what was going on.

Although he had damaged the stone golem with Holy Devour, he could only use Holy Devour twice at most now. He might even fall into a state of mental exhaustion after using it once more. So his current situation hadn't improved much. He had to find the reason why he could damage the stone golem, otherwise, it would be futile to activate an outburst skill to fight, simply wasting the skill.

Subsequently, Shi Feng used Light Shadow several times on the stone golem's broken body, but the stone golem was still unscathed, as if the cracked body hadn't affected the stone golem's defense at all.

"Since Light Shadow still has no effect, it seems I can only use another method."

Watching the stone golem's arms slash down again, Shi Feng stepped to the side and came behind the stone golem. He mobilized all the magic power in his body and began to pour it into the Abyssal Blade, as if he were using Holy Devour. However, the condensed magic power was held back without being released, causing true crimson flames to ignite on the Abyssal Blade's blade. He swung the sword at the stone golem's back.

Sword Light Flash!

The originally indestructible stone body was completely penetrated by the true crimson sword, directly taking away more than 1.6 million points of damage from the stone golem.

"As expected!" Shi Feng's eyes lit up as he looked at the injured stone golem.

Holy Devour could damage the stone golem, but Light Shadow couldn't. It wasn't even effective at attacking the broken defense points, indicating that it had nothing to do with the stone golem's defense value. The remaining difference was the method of using magic power.

Light Shadow allowed magic power to take shape, while Holy Devour allowed magic power to erupt, then materialize, unleashing enormous destructive power, or rather, destroying the essence of matter.

Although he hadn't used Holy Devour now, he had materialized the magic power and condensed it on the blade. This could minimize the consumption of magic power and mental power, and still have the effect of materializing magic power, but the power and scale were much smaller than Holy Devour. It could be said to be a simplified version of Holy Devour.

With the success of this attack, Shi Feng no longer delayed and directly launched a frantic attack on the Outworld Guardian Golem.

The Outworld Guardian Golem's own combat power was much weaker than that of a Tier 4 Legendary monster. What was truly difficult to deal with was the inability to cause damage. As long as damage could be dealt, Shi Feng could take care of 50 million HP in less than two minutes.

Just one and a half minutes passed, and the Outworld Guardian Golem's HP was reduced to zero under Shi Feng's final sword. The hard stone body turned into countless pieces of rubble scattered on the ground.

The Outworld Guardian Golem's death not only caused Shi Feng's experience bar to instantly increase by a notch, but also a wisp of black mist suddenly rushed into Shi Feng's heart. Fragments of broken scenes appeared before his eyes, and a system notification sounded in his ears.

System: Player has obtained 5 points of Legacy Power. The current Tier 4 Legacy Value is 0.5%. When the Legacy Value reaches 85%, you can attempt to activate the Tier 4 Legacy.

"Legacy Power?" Shi Feng was shocked by the system notification.

He never expected that killing the Outworld Guardian Golem would grant Legacy Power. This was much easier than going deep into the abyss to obtain Legacy Fragments.

Not long after the Outworld Guardian Golem's death, it dropped more than a dozen items with shimmering lights, quietly suspended in mid-air, banishing all the magic power around them...
