Chapter 1 The Forbidden Domain

The expansion of the Forbidden Domain quickly spread beyond the palace.

Endless mists frantically converged in the skies above the Thunder Beast Courtyard, and the originally mist-shrouded imperial capital gradually became clearer.

In just over ten minutes, the mist completely disappeared from the Thunder Beast Imperial Capital.

With the disappearance of the mist, the power of the curse on the imperial capital also began to weaken. The ghouls and tormented undead on the streets died one after another, and the humans who had been petrified for hundreds of years also returned to their original forms.

System: Congratulations to player for completing the epic quest 'The Imperial Capital's Past,' reward: 50 million experience points.

50 million experience points is a lot for ordinary players, but for him, who needs twice the experience to level up, each level requires hundreds of millions of experience points, so 50 million experience points only provides a limited boost.

"Finally completed the quest."

Shi Feng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard the system prompt. The remaining task was to go to Karian Walker to collect the reward.

Epic quests not only have rich rewards but also severe punishments.

Although Shi Feng didn't know what the petrification penalty was, it was certain that failing an epic quest would result in level drops and reduced base stats.

After Thunder Emperor Caesar sealed the passage to the Dark Abyss, the fifth-order Great Demon King Andos was also sent back to the Dark Abyss. Thunder Emperor Caesar stood alone quietly beside the sinkhole.

"Adventurer, this is your Book of Darkness." With a flash, Thunder Emperor Caesar appeared in front of Shi Feng and carefully handed the Book of Darkness to him. "Thank you for helping me. Without your help, I don't think the people in the imperial capital would have been freed. There's nothing I can do to thank you, so I'll give you my sword from when I was young."

As he spoke, the Thunder Emperor took out an extremely exquisite longsword and handed it to Shi Feng.

Shi Feng had originally fantasized that Thunder Emperor Caesar would give him one of the holy swords at his waist.

A weapon that could freeze an entire realm was something Shi Feng had never seen before.

However, the longsword that the Thunder Emperor gave him was also extraordinary. The hilt was snow-white, and the entire blade was emerald green, engraved with golden divine runes. The entire sword was as crystal clear as a gemstone, with faint arcs of cyan electricity flickering.

When Shi Feng held it in his hand, a chill transmitted from the sword, making his mind feel clear. When he waved it, the space tore, and lightning flashed, as if piercing through space. With just a light wave, the emerald sword transformed into a streak of green light and flashed out, instantly appearing on the other side, with a speed that was astonishing.

"This sword is too powerful!" Shi Feng looked at the emerald sword in his hand in disbelief. The feel was even better than the Demonic Weapon Abyssal Blade. The most terrifying thing was the sword speed. Even if he wielded the Abyssal Blade at its fastest speed, it was still inferior to this sword, as if this sword accelerated on its own.

"This holy sword was also obtained by chance from an ancient ruin, named Shi Lei (Thunder Slayer). Please cherish it." The Thunder Emperor looked at the emerald sword and couldn't help but fall into memories of his youth.

His name as the Thunder Emperor was largely due to this holy sword, Shi Lei.

Shi Feng was overjoyed when he heard the name.

Shi Lei was one of the thirty-six famous swords of the God's Domain Continent, and it was precisely the fragment he was looking for.

Shi Lei was different from the Abyssal Blade. The Abyssal Blade was a Demonic Weapon, while Shi Lei was not, so using it would not be subject to any curses or backlash.

Immediately, Shi Feng opened the attribute panel of the holy sword Shi Lei.

Shi Lei, one-handed sword, Holy Sword, Epic Rank, Equipment Requirement: Strength 700 points, Equipment Level 30-120.

Attack Power +760 (Level 30)

Strength +70

Agility +64

Stamina +55

Attack Speed +20

Ignores Defense 20%. When attacking, there is a 40% chance to trigger the Thunder Light effect. The initial attack speed is 50% of the attack speed limit, and damage is increased by 240%.

Attributes will increase according to the user's level. After equipping, Strength attribute increases by 15%, Agility increases by 10%, Attack Speed increases by 10%, all Sword Skills level +3, Ignores Level +20, all item equipment level requirements reduced by 5 levels.

Attached Skill 1: Thunder Summoning. Summons lightning to deal 400% lightning damage within 15 yards, causing paralysis for 5 seconds. Subsequently, the attack range is increased by 20 yards for 30 seconds. Cooldown time: 5 minutes.

Attached Skill 2: Thunder God Descent. Immune to all restrictive skills, movement speed and attack speed increased by 150%, damage increased by 50%, all damage received reduced by 50% for 30 seconds. Cooldown time: 1 hour.

A holy sword created by the divine craftsman Arnold using a fragment of a mysterious sword body as material. It is one of the thirty-six famous swords of God's Domain, ranked twentieth. It was once the Thunder Emperor Caesar's sword, allowing the wielder to possess lightning-like speed, increasing damage against dark creatures by 100%, evolvable, and indestructible.

"What powerful attributes!" Shi Feng was shocked when he saw the attributes of Shi Lei. "As expected of a famous sword ranked twentieth, it is indeed stronger than the Abyssal Blade."

Whether it was attack power or basic attributes, it was stronger than the epic-level weapon Petrified Thorns he had obtained before. However, the most powerful aspect was the holy sword attribute: indestructible, no durability restrictions, no need to repair the weapon, and 100% increased damage against dark creatures.

For players who like to PK (Player Killing), the truly powerful aspect of Shi Lei lies in its speed.

The passive skill Thunder Light allows the initial attack speed to start from 50%, instead of starting from 0. This means that players save the time consumed by acceleration during attacks, and the speed of drawing the sword will be much faster than normal.

Subsequently, Shi Feng directly replaced Hell Shadow.

700 Strength attribute was nothing to Shi Feng. He had inlaid third-tier Strength gems, and his Strength attribute had already exceeded 700 points.

Instantly, Shi Feng's overall attributes increased. Shi Feng's level was 38, and Shi Lei's attributes also increased to level 38. The original attack power at level 30 was 760, but now it had directly become 1002, allowing Shi Feng's base attack power to increase by hundreds.

Before equipping Shi Lei, Shi Feng, with his elementary Sword King level in one-handed swordsmanship, only needed 5 normal attacks to kill an MT (Main Tank) of the same level. Now, he didn't need 5 swords at all, 4 swords were enough. If he triggered a critical hit, two swords would be enough to finish the job.

In terms of attack power alone, if Shi Feng claimed second place, no one would dare to claim first.

"What strong power!" Shi Feng couldn't help but exclaim in his heart after gripping Shi Lei.

Its strength attribute was unparalleled.

Holding the Demonic Weapon Abyssal Blade in one hand and the Holy Sword Shi Lei in the other.

Shi Feng felt that his current strength was enough to contend with a Leader monster of the same level in terms of strength.

In terms of speed, he also had the passive skill Thunder Light.

Even against experts in the Vacuum Realm, Shi Feng felt that he could resolve the battle in just a few moves, unless that Vacuum Realm expert was exceptionally skilled in speed and could match him. Otherwise, relying on his strength, he could easily crush the opponent.
