Tianyun Lao Mao
Chapter 1369 The Rise of an Empire
Angel Summon!
This was Shi Feng's strongest trump card.
Although he had anticipated that trapping the Legendary Orc with ten Rock Guardians was unlikely, he hadn't expected it to be so brief. In just twenty-two seconds, all ten Rock Guardians were annihilated.
Without the protective barrier of the magic array, even a slight injury to the Legendary Orc, or forcing him to use a skill to defend, would mean starting all over again.
"Human, you have enraged me! You dare to steal the King's treasure? Then pay with your life!" The Orc Chieftain's eyes turned blood-red, his muscles bulging several times their original size. A crimson flame erupted around him as he charged toward Shi Feng like a burning meteor, crashing down on him. His roar echoed throughout the hall, causing it to tremble.
Even from 100 yards away, Shi Feng felt a chill run down his spine under the pressure of that furious killing intent.
The Orc Chieftain was clearly in a berserk state because Shi Feng was about to deactivate the magic barrier, significantly increasing his strength and speed.
Although Anna could summon a Tier 4 War Angel, her level was only 75. The summoned War Angel was only the same level, making her disadvantageous against an Level 85 Legendary Orc, let alone one in a berserk state.
The Orc Chieftain was less than thirty yards away from Shi Feng as the unlocking progress bar neared completion.
"Turn to ashes!"
The Orc Chieftain roared and raised his battle blade. The blade burst into flames, and with a single swing, a pillar of fire descended, incinerating everything in its path. Its power and range were comparable to a Tier 4 Forbidden Spell.
Just as the fire was about to hit Shi Feng, the War Angel finally acted.
A golden lightning spear materialized in the War Angel's hand, which she hurled at the oncoming fire.
Whoosh!
A sonic boom rang out, and the surrounding space seemed to twist and shatter like crumpled paper.
The golden lightning spear struck the flame and instantly dispersed the blade-shaped fire, appearing before the Orc Chieftain in the blink of an eye.
Although the spear was incredibly fast, even Shi Feng couldn't react. However, the Orc Chieftain's battle blade accurately struck the spear.
Boom!
Blade and spear collided, lightning and fire intertwined, creating dazzling sparks. The shockwave of the impact was clearly felt by Shi Feng, even from a great distance.
The Orc Chieftain, still in a frenzy, was forced back twenty yards, staring at the War Angel floating in mid-air with caution.
"So strong!" Shi Feng couldn't help but smack his lips.
He knew War Angels were powerful, beings of a higher lifeform than humans and orcs. But the Orc Chieftain was, after all, a monster who mastered the Tier 4 domain, ten levels higher than the War Angel. Just being able to withstand the attack was impressive enough.
He hadn't expected it to pressure the Orc Chieftain.
If it weren't for the ten-second duration, he might have had a chance to kill the Orc Chieftain.
The thought of killing an Level 85 Tier 4 peak Orc Chieftain excited Shi Feng. The drops would be incomparable to those from ordinary Legendary monsters.
After all, every Tier 4 peak monster was an overlord in God's Domain, and killing one would shake the entire game.
After the War Angel's attack, she flapped her wings and instantly appeared before the Orc Chieftain. She withdrew the golden lightning spear, unleashing a lightning flash that was too fast to react to.
The Orc Chieftain was unwilling to be outdone. He took a step forward, meeting the attack with his battle blade.
In the blink of an eye, they exchanged several blows, and the hall was filled with lightning, thunder, and raging fire, the aftereffects of the battle making it impossible to approach.
However, with each exchange, the Orc Chieftain was forced back, further and further away from Shi Feng.
With the War Angel's suppression, Shi Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
The unlock bar steadily increased.
As the unlocking completed, the magic barrier in front of the Royal Treasure Trove vanished.
"Damn human!" The Orc Chieftain watched the magic barrier disappear, his eyes turning completely blood-red as he glared at Shi Feng, wanting nothing more than to devour him. "Disappear! Human!"
Suddenly, the magic elements in the hall went berserk. The Orc Chieftain's battle blade formed a dark gray triple magic array, and the crimson flames on the blade turned dark gray, radiating a deathly aura that threatened Shi Feng.
The Orc Chieftain swung his blade nine times in Shi Feng's direction, and nine gray fire serpents lunged toward him.
The War Angel used the Lightning Spear to defend, but could only throw seven spears at once. The remaining two fire serpents pounced on Shi Feng.
Seeing the serpents approaching, Shi Feng didn't dare to be careless. He activated Absolute Defense and tried to open the door.
The door to the Royal Treasure Trove was massive, but Shi Feng didn't need much force to open it. The dark gray flames burned beside Shi Feng, unable to harm him in the slightest.
"It worked!" Shi Feng was overjoyed.
The Orc Chieftain could only watch helplessly as Shi Feng stepped into the treasure trove and disappeared. Anna, as a direct guard, followed closely behind, entering the treasure trove as well.
The interior of the Royal Treasure Trove was a teleportation magic array that directly connected to a special space, similar to a dungeon, but more unique. Once players entered, there were no other means to deal with them from the outside.
As Shi Feng entered the treasure trove, he arrived in a magnificent hall.
The hall was filled with various treasures, dazzling to the eye. Any item here would be considered a treasure by current players.
"It's really here!" Shi Feng looked at the jet-black battle axe in the magic crystal pillar in the center of the hall, his heart filled with excitement.
The battle axe stored in the magic crystal pillar was the Shattered Battle Axe required for the quest, the weapon of the founding emperor of the Orc Empire. Legend had it that the axe was immensely powerful and could destroy a large city with a single strike, which led to the Orc Empire's prosperity and strength, making the other empires on the God's Domain continent wary.
However, for some unknown reason, the Shattered Battle Axe was shattered, leading to the gradual decline of the Orc Empire. The Shattered Battle Axe before him was only a larger fragment of it.
Although the fragment of the Shattered Battle Axe was in front of him, Shi Feng didn't rush forward. Instead, he slowly began to examine the treasures in the hall.
The entire Royal Treasure Trove was a unique dungeon. All the treasures displayed in the Royal Treasure Trove were like the dungeon's drops. Some items could only be taken once, while others could be taken infinitely.
But obtaining these items depended on the player's abilities.
Every team that entered the Royal Treasure Trove had two chances to select items. The better the items selected, the stronger the enemies they would face. Only by defeating the appearing monsters could they obtain the selected items. After two selections, they would need to wait five days before entering the Royal Treasure Trove again.
Shi Feng was already extremely familiar with the monsters that appeared in the Royal Treasure Trove and knew their difficulty level. However, he didn't know if there would be any changes due to the quest.
After confirming the Shattered Battle Axe, Shi Feng wanted to look around for other treasures, but the system suddenly sent a notification.
