Chu Tian stood on high.
The corpse guard he had lured was still pursuing him.
He hadn't used his owl form in a long time to kite monsters like this.
Before, it was because his damage was low.
Now, he was using this method because... he was lazy...
He had to kill them one by one anyway, so why not use this method if he had it?
Not using it would be foolish, especially since he had a skill to increase jump height.
Looking at the leaderboard, Huang Xueyi's character, "Traversing the World," was only two percent behind him in experience.
He needed to hurry.
In the Heavenly Dao world, the rankings updated on the hour, every hour.
He didn't know what his experience had reached by now.
Chu Tian walked to the base of a pillar, facing the corpse guard circling below.
Sunlight's Flame...
Moonlight's Fire...
He cast the two debuff skills first.
-3...-5...
Seeing these numbers, Chu Tian was stunned. He had broken through their defense!
He alternated between casting Moonlight and Sunlight.
Solar Ray and Lunar Ray, thanks to his exclusive weapon's attributes, saw a significant damage boost.
(Attribute 4: Upon equipping, when casting Sun or Moon spells in Owlkin form, your next spell of a different elemental school will deal 50% increased damage.)
-102!
-189!
These two numbers told Chu Tian that this was his paradise for leveling up.
Corpse Guard's HP: 332591/335000.
With steady output, it would take a little over half an hour to take down one.
While calculating, his skills didn't stop.
Suddenly, a Sunlight Ray hit the corpse guard.
*Boom...*
-1418! A red critical damage number.
Chu Tian's eyes widened. What the heck...
Did that trigger a fatal blow?
Five times critical damage.
So it wasn't that critical hits were increased to five times their normal value.
It was that after a critical hit, the damage was directly multiplied by five.
A god-tier talent was truly god-tier.
It was amazing.
A few more critical hits, and the speed of farming these monsters would greatly increase.
The corpse guard he was attacking let out a couple of pained roars and stomped around below angrily.
It even slammed its wooden club against the stone pillar twice.
However, the stone pillar Chu Tian stood on was immense, at least ten meters in diameter.
He wondered how it had been broken into such a state.
There were many such stone pillars nearby, and most of them had fallen.
Chu Tian guessed that they were used to support the dome of the General's Tomb.
But with so many fallen, the dome overhead hadn't collapsed...
Perhaps, that was just how the system designed it!
He couldn't worry about that. His hands moved incessantly, using the two skills back and forth in his owl form.
He could maintain the balance orb on his energy bar and also trigger his exclusive weapon skills.
He hadn't checked his stats in a long time, so Chu Tian opened his character panel while attacking.

With the addition of the "Scorching Necklace," his attributes had improved once more.
His current attack power was already comparable to his stats in his previous life when he was level eighty or ninety.
He also gained a special attribute, Lifesteal +3%.
Lifesteal was an extremely rare and valuable attribute in the Heavenly Dao.
If not for his low level and being heavily suppressed by the monster, his attack and defense would have allowed him to completely overwhelm this corpse guard.
【Ding... System Notification: Killing [Corpse Guard] grants an over-level kill experience bonus of 5500%, awarding 37520000 experience (Base Experience + 335000, Over-level Kill Reward + 18425000 Experience, God-Tier Talent Growth + 18760000 Experience).】
【Ding... System Notification: Congratulations, you have leveled up to Level 47.】
Over thirty million experience directly entered Chu Tian's experience pool, and he instantly leveled up to 47, reaching 36% of the experience bar.
Seeing this much experience, Chu Tian almost dropped his jaw.
How could it be so much?
The base experience was over three hundred thousand. He had calculated before that a level sixty-seven elite monster should only give 3350 experience.
Recalling carefully, he suddenly understood.
Monsters in the Heavenly Dao world, after level sixty, indeed gave a hundred times more experience than monsters below level sixty.
In the early stages, the Heavenly Dao system was suppressing player levels.
Furthermore, after players reached level sixty, the experience required to level up increased a hundredfold.
Thinking of this, Chu Tian became excited. Huang Xueyi, you want to sneak attack me?
Dream on!
I'll make it so you can't even see my exhaust fumes.
As for the title of "Number Two," heh heh...
Let me teach you what rapid leveling is.
Checking the time, it had taken him thirteen minutes to kill one corpse guard.
The current time was exactly 8 PM.
Tonight, he would teach them how to behave.
There were five corpse guards in his vicinity, all within his range.
Moonlight's Fire... Moonlight's Fire...
He cast five consecutive skills, luring all five corpse guards at once.
He applied both debuffs to them.
In owl form, Sunlight Ray was an area-of-effect skill.
Hitting one or hitting a group was the same; Chu Tian's goal was to whittle down their health.
Moreover, using Sun and Moon spells could accumulate energy, which could then be used for the Starfall skill.
【Starfall: Deals 45.76% of Spell Power as Astral damage to all enemies within a 40-meter radius centered on the caster, over 8 seconds.】
After casting this skill, it required no channeling, allowing him to continue casting other spells.
It was perfectly suited for group combat.
More importantly, Chu Tian believed that astral energy was a waste if not used, so he aimed to deal as much damage as possible.
Fifteen minutes later, another corpse guard fell.
【Ding... System Notification: Killing [Corpse Guard] grants an over-level kill experience bonus of 5000%, awarding 34170000 experience (Base Experience + 335000, Over-level Kill Reward + 16750000 Experience, God-Tier Talent Growth + 17085000 Experience).】
He had leveled up once, and with a twenty-level difference, the experience bonus had decreased by 500%, but it was still astonishingly high.
This time, it pushed his experience bar directly to 67%.
During this kill, critical hits occurred less frequently, taking two minutes longer than the previous one.
However, by the time this monster was defeated, the other four corpse guards had also lost ten to twenty percent of their health.
Seeing the experience bar steadily climb,
Chu Tian's excitement grew with each segment.
The next leaderboard update...
Was still forty minutes away...
