Chapter 1 Some Changes

Shi Feng came to the outskirts of World Peak once again, feeling that something was different from his first visit.

Or rather, World Peak hadn't changed; the change came from within him.

The last time he came, he was only Tier 1. His perception and physique were weak. He also wasn't very clear about what kind of place World Peak was. But this time, he clearly felt the difference.

The entire space was filled with a power that roamed throughout, like a mist, very vague. But this power even suppressed the power of Collapse within his body. Originally, the power of Collapse suppressed 50% of his base attributes, but now it only suppressed 30%, a remarkable effect.

And the closer he got to World Peak, the stronger this power became.

"World Peak is indeed extraordinary. The possibility of finding Divine Crystals should be high," Shi Feng couldn't help but look at World Peak in the distance, piercing into the clouds.

The first time was rushed. At that time, he was only thinking about how to quickly leave after obtaining the Book of Darkness and didn't have time to properly explore the surroundings of World Peak and World Peak itself.

Now that he was here again, he would definitely study it carefully.

This was, after all, a place built by the gods!

Just the place where the Moon God once lived had benefited him greatly. The places where the gods had appeared were naturally even more extraordinary.

His goal was Divine Crystals, and the more the better. He had to search carefully for any place where he might obtain Divine Crystals, because he needed them in a lot of places.

In addition to the Armor of Collapse, his equipped Shadow Walker's Cloak and Soul Orb also needed them.

Then, Shi Feng began to explore the surroundings of World Peak.

Time passed, and unknowingly, Shi Feng had explored for more than ten hours.

The space around World Peak was vast, like a large leveling map, with deserts, jungles, and canyons, like a natural small world. However, apart from the Golden Road, there were no other creatures in the entire space...

"No way, is it really only possible to get treasures by entering World Peak?" Shi Feng couldn't help but mutter.

There were indeed many treasures inside World Peak, but there were also many problems. One was the issue of time. The amount of time one could enter World Peak was determined by the strength players displayed.

Last time, he barely managed to obtain the Book of Darkness and leave safely within the allotted time. From start to finish, although he was stronger now and could definitely enter for longer, he didn't think he could collect enough Divine Crystals to restore the Armor of Collapse within the allotted time.

The second was that after entering World Peak, although there were countless temples inside, opening a temple took a corresponding amount of time.

It was clear that obtaining one or two Divine Crystals was impossible to suppress the power within the Armor of Collapse, and Divine Crystals were only obtained from Epic-level temples. According to his estimation, he could open two or three at most.

Just as Shi Feng was about to give up exploring this special space and head to the Golden Road, he suddenly discovered an incredible scene.

"What's going on?" Shi Feng looked at the Golden Road, somewhat incredulous.

Players!

There were other players appearing in this special space!

The most incredible thing was the number of players. Just in the area he saw, there were more than twenty players. These twenty-plus players weren't a single group; they were small teams of three to five people, clearly wary of their surroundings, even though no attacks could be made in the Golden Road area.

In addition, Shi Feng also sensed the power of darkness on these people, or more precisely, demonic power. These players were all Demon players.

These people didn't seem surprised at all by Shi Feng's arrival, just glanced at him and continued walking towards World Peak.

"Could it be that there are other ways to get here besides the Moloch's Ring?"

Shi Feng watched these people leave, and soon discovered that a few more Demon players had arrived behind them. It was clear that the number of Demon players coming to World Peak was not small. The only possibility was that there were more ways to get here than just Moloch's Ring; there should be many other ways to get here.

Just as Shi Feng was standing on the Golden Road thinking about what was going on, two players in black cloaks suddenly walked past him, one male and one female. The male looked like a disheveled wild man, and the female was a stunningly beautiful woman, giving off an indescribable sense of amazement, with a broken sword hanging from her waist.

Shi Feng had seen these two before, one was the Savage God Manqiang he met on Demon Island, and the other was Ling Yin, who possessed the Seven Sins Flower title of Arrogance.

He never expected to meet these two at World Peak...

"Friend, are you alone? How about we team up?" Manqiang looked at Shi Feng, who was also wearing a black cloak and completely covered up, and asked with a smile, "I think you should also know that entering World Peak requires a lot of time. The time given for a solo run is too short, and the places you can explore are very limited. But if you switch to a team of three or five, you can get a lot more time. As for how much time each person can get, it's up to their own abilities."

Among the Sins of Arrogance who came to World Peak, there were only him and Ling Yin. Almost all the players he had met along the way had teams, and even some lone players would choose a safer five-person team, not a three-person team like theirs.

At World Peak, the difficulty of individual and team tests was vastly different, but there was no difference between teams. Although the total time obtained was the same for the same choice, a five-person team was undoubtedly stronger in combat and survival. Although each person got less time, they could more safely obtain the time they should get.

Now that he finally saw the lone Shi Feng, he naturally had to ask. Otherwise, the two of them would not be able to take the team test and could only take the solo test.

"Team tests give more time?" Shi Feng asked, although he didn't fully understand what was going on, he guessed seven or eight parts of it, and then nodded, "Okay, I'll join your team."

From Manqiang's words, he could tell that Manqiang was quite familiar with World Peak.

Last time, he came alone and didn't notice that there was a team mode for the test. Moreover, experts like Manqiang and Ling Yin chose to have a stranger like him join the team, which showed that the team test was indeed much better than the solo one. Otherwise, Manqiang wouldn't have come over to invite him.

After all, experts like Manqiang have the pride and honor of experts.

If a goal and task could be achieved by one person, they would never ask others for help, unless the gap was so large that it was overwhelming.

"Hahaha, great, it seems that brother, you are also a wise person. There is no need for five people to do what three people can do, so let's go over quickly," Manqiang said with a smile as he watched Shi Feng nod in agreement.

Ling Yin, on the other hand, just glanced at Shi Feng and walked towards World Peak without saying anything.

It was obvious that she was not interested in players like Shi Feng who were used to make up the numbers.

"Brother, don't mind, our leader is just like that," Manqiang explained awkwardly.

"I understand, it's understandable." Shi Feng didn't say anything about this, because his thoughts were exactly the same as Ling Yin's. They were just using each other, and there was no question of friendship, so there was no need to pretend to be very friendly.

Then Shi Feng, Ling Yin, and Manqiang walked along the Golden Road to the mountain gate of World Peak.
