Chapter 1 After the Repair

After Shi Feng confirmed the repair, the Book of Darkness suddenly flew out of his bag space and hovered in front of him, displaying the book's incomplete page. Instantly, the torn page transformed into a black mist and merged into the book. In less than three seconds, the missing page in the Book of Darkness was restored, as if it had never been missing in the first place.

As the missing page of the Book of Darkness was restored, the surrounding dark energy that converged on the entire Book of Darkness suddenly became much richer, as if a faint black mist surrounded it in the darkness, adding a bit of mystery and deathly silence.

"The power of darkness has increased so much?"

Shi Feng took the repaired Book of Darkness and clearly felt that it was much stronger than before. This strength did not come from the pressure it exerted, but from its control over the power of darkness. Even the suppression of the dark world on him was reduced.

The suppression of his base attributes went from 30% to 25%, and his perception dropped from 50% to 40%, but the experience gained was still reduced by 95%.

Shi Feng couldn't help but open the repaired Book of Darkness to check it out.

*Book of Darkness*, a fragment of a legendary item, destroyed in the Great Destruction. The internal core magic array has been repaired by the Source of Time and Space. As long as the other scattered fragments are collected, all its power can be restored, allowing it to rule all demonic creatures and become the Lord of All Demons.

Skill 1: Demon Summoning. Summons a gate to the demonic realm through the power of darkness, thereby summoning a demon no higher than the holder's tier and 15 levels (the highest tier cannot exceed Tier 5). The summoned demon can be commanded by the holder for six hours. Cooldown: 150 minutes.

Skill 2: Dark Gate. Can be used to teleport to the Dark Cave, or from the Dark Cave to the outside world. Can teleport up to thirty people at a time. Cooldown: one day.

Skill 3: Power of Darkness. Can be used to enhance players with the power of darkness. The number of players that can be enhanced is 1,500. The holder gains one Source of Darkness for each player enhanced.

Skill 4: Dark Light. Fills the entire body with the power of darkness, increasing all attributes by 120%, reducing the cooldown time of all skills by 30%, and increasing damage by 50%. Duration is the number of Sources of Darkness * 0.5 seconds. Cooldown: five hours. (The Power of Darkness is not stackable, and can enhance professions up to Tier 5.)

Skill 5: Demon Domination. Passive effect: increases the base attributes of dominated demonic creatures by 35%, and forcibly reduces the base attributes of all hostile demonic creatures by 30%. Active effect: has a 12% chance to control a demonic creature that is no more than 30 levels higher than the user and no more than two tiers higher. Can control up to three demons at a time. Duration: two hours. Cooldown: five minutes.

Skill 6: Dark Armament. By sacrificing Sources of Darkness, the Book of Darkness can be transformed into a weapon suitable for the holder. Duration is the number of Sources of Darkness * 3 seconds. During this time, the Book of Darkness cannot use any skills. Cooldown: six hours.

"Dark Armament?" Shi Feng looked at the new skill and was surprised. "Is this what was recorded on the torn page?"

After merging with one of the torn pages, the Book of Darkness was strengthened as a whole, but he didn't expect to gain a new skill like Dark Armament.

Weapons are the foundation of a player's combat power; powerful weapons provide powerful attack power.

Burst skills are ultimately unstable, but weapons can improve stable combat power. Moreover, the maximum duration of the Book of Darkness after transforming into a weapon is 75 minutes, which is enough time for a player to end any major battle.

After carefully examining the Book of Darkness for a while, Shi Feng put it away and began to appraise the other items dropped by Baphomet.

Among the remaining 34 items were one Dark Crystal and six Dark Crystal Fragments. The rest were all weapons and equipment, including an Epic-level leather leg armor, the Legguards of the Deceiver, which greatly increased movement and reaction speed when equipped. They were excellent leg guards that required players to reach level 50 to equip. In addition, five pieces of Level 60 Dark-Gold equipment, and twelve pieces of Level 60 Fine-Gold equipment dropped. The rest were all Level 60 Mysterious-Iron equipment.

Among the Level 60 Fine-Gold equipment, he found the Head and Gauntlets of the Illusion Demon Set, which he had been unable to obtain, completing the Illusion Demon Set suitable for magic-based professions. He also completed two sets of the Level 60 Dark Devourer Set.

After sorting out the drops, Shi Feng didn't rest too much. He just drank a bottle of Life Essence and then walked along the small path in the canyon, heading to the next map in the dark world.

After riding his mount for more than ten minutes, Shi Feng arrived at the new map. Unlike the desolate Dark Sin Canyon, this was a quiet forest. The visibility was much better than in Dark Sin Canyon, and he could see up to 50 yards with the naked eye.

"Why are the levels so low?" After Shi Feng took out the Detection Crystal Ball to investigate, he saw that the highest level of the monsters detected by the crystal ball was only Level 60, which was significantly lower than the level of the Dark Sin Canyon. "Did I go to the wrong place?"

There were only two entrances and exits in Dark Sin Canyon, one was completely blocked, and the other was guarded by a Boss. He couldn't enter the completely blocked area, so he chose to kill Baphomet. Now, he had arrived in a place with even lower map levels...

"Oh well, this is good too. I'm farming Dark Crystals anyway, and it's easier to kill Level 60 High Lords." Shi Feng was happy to take it easy. Compared to Level 70 or 80 High Lords, Level 60 High Lords were undoubtedly easier to deal with. Moreover, there wasn't much he could do now. After using Dual Burst, he had entered a weakened state and couldn't participate in combat for a short time.

Immediately, Shi Feng led Anna towards a locked-on High Lord.

An Level 80 Tier 3 Demon and a Level 80 Golden Giant comparable to a High Lord were no problem dealing with a Level 60 High Lord. In addition to Anna and three Ancient Heroic Spirits, Shi Feng only needed to watch from the sidelines and did nothing at all.

The speed of farming Bosses was much faster than in Dark Sin Canyon.

As time passed, Shi Feng spent more than a day and finally cleared all the High Lords in this forest, bringing the number of Dark Crystals in his hand to 93 and the number of Dark Crystal Fragments to 847. With the Philosopher's Stone's 100% success rate, there was no problem in collecting a hundred Dark Crystals.

More than a day of crazy monster farming also boosted Shi Feng's level to 65 84%. If it weren't for the fact that he absorbed too little experience, he would have already reached Level 66. But even so, the leveling speed was already very impressive.

Compared to the leveling speed, the harvest from killing Bosses was even more impressive. Although he did not obtain any Epic-level items, he obtained seventeen pieces of Level 50 Dark-Gold weapons and equipment, fifty-two pieces of Level 50 Fine-Gold weapons and equipment, and two hundred and seventy-six pieces of Level 50 Mysterious-Iron weapons and equipment. Most of these Mysterious-Iron weapons and equipment were dropped by the Great Lords and High Lords he killed along the way.

One person's harvest in more than a day was simply more than what an entire first-rate guild could obtain in Level 50 top-quality weapons and equipment.

Of course, the biggest reasons were the Icarus's Heart, a pseudo divine artifact, Anna, a monster, and the merits of the Book of Darkness. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to obtain so much top-quality equipment so easily in the dark world.

"I have collected enough Dark Crystals, it's time to go back." Shi Feng looked at the Dark Crystals in his bag and smiled slightly. This time, the Lost Town's quest was completed.

Immediately, Shi Feng took out the Return Scroll of White River City and started reading it.

Twenty seconds later, Shi Feng transformed into a white light and disappeared directly into the great forest of this dark world.
