I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means
Chapter 975 - 584: Legendary Tier Breakthrough Quest_2

The learning condition for the [Sphinx Ascension Technique] is to achieve Legend, which Lis has not mastered yet, let alone in-depth research.

One must achieve Legend first.

Lis sighed, and his desire to break through to Legend grew even more fervent.

But honestly, Lis is just one step away from reaching Legend.

Before exploring the Azus Temple, Lis was just one step away from reaching the bottleneck to break through to Legend.

However, due to the "generous" gift from Azus, Lis found that everything was ready, just missing the final push.

---------------

[You consumed 150 million Experience Points!]

[Your Personal Level has increased: 170→171!]

[You gained Strength +12, Intelligence +12, Agility +12, Charm +6, Mystical +6, Endurance +6!]

[You consumed 152 million Experience Points!]

[Your Personal Level has increased: 171→172!]

[You gained Strength +12, Intelligence +12, Agility +12, Charm +6, Mystical +6, Endurance +6!]

...

[You consumed 210 million Experience Points!]

[Your Personal Level has increased: 199→200!]

---------------

Almost exhausting all stored Experience Points, Lis finally raised his Personal Level to the Legend threshold of level 200.

Feeling the surging hot power in his body, Lis exhaled deeply, enjoying the ultimate pleasure brought by the increase in power.

This is all due to my supreme talent, every bit of my current strength is hard-earned through great effort.

I've diligently reaped, and at last, it's harvest time!

Lis felt satisfied with his hard-earned results and then turned his gaze back to the system panel.

Ding~

[Player level detected at 200, triggering the Legend Rank boundary breakthrough assessment!]

[Breakthrough assessment (1/3): Main profession level at or above 200... Assessment passed]

(Note: Player Level = Main Profession Level + Secondary Profession Level, Class promotion requires Main Profession Level to meet requirements)

[Breakthrough assessment (2/3): Master at least one Extraordinary Domain (Triple)... Assessment passed]

(Note: Rank breakthrough requires completion of Domain Ascension)

[Breakthrough assessment (3/3): Spirit Will and Soul Strength at Legendary level... Assessment passed]

(Note: Without breakthrough in Spirit Will and Soul Strength, cannot master Legendary Rank power)

[All assessments passed!]

...

[Legendary Rank breakthrough task triggered!]

[Random selection...]

[Selection complete!]

[Legendary Rank breakthrough task [Solo Army Defeat]!

[Task requirement: Defeat an Extraordinary Professional Army (exceeding 1000 in number) alone!]

[Note: This task can be replaced, with a replacement cooldown time of [seven days]]

-----------------

Upon seeing the Legendary Rank breakthrough task appear, Lis felt a surge of excitement.

This is a realm that no player has reached in his previous life, and now he stands at the doorstep of Legend, just one last push away.

Once he achieves Legend, he can truly begin to control his destiny and future.

Soon, he will stand at the same height as Taya and the others, and this time he shall defend absolute sovereignty!

However, this randomly selected Legendary Rank breakthrough task is a bit problematic.

If it were like the time he broke through to Gold level and drew a task to defeat a Legend, Lis would immediately prepare to wait 7 days to change the task.

Defeating a Legend across ranks is far too difficult; last time facing the Storm Fury, it was only through intelligence and abilities advantages that he managed to barely take the upper hand.

Even so, once the Storm Fury reacted, maintaining the situation was impossible, let alone defeating the opponent.

However, once he too becomes Legend... hehe!

Get ready to be beaten! (∗ᵒ̶̶̷̀ω˂̶́∗)੭₎₎̊₊♡

But the task [Solo Army Defeat] he drew now is also quite troublesome.

The so-called Extraordinary Professional Army is like the Golden Lion Knights of the Feis Kingdom, mainly composed of Extraordinary Professionals.

Such an army is far stronger than ordinary elite troops, let alone regular fodder troops.

For Lis, however, defeating such an army is not really troublesome.

After all, he stands at the pinnacle of Golden Rank, capable of contending with Legends.

Especially as an Arcanist, various terrifying Spells are meant for use on grand battlegrounds.

Now Lis's problem is rather where to find an Extraordinary Professional Army to battle.

He can't just go back to the Feis Kingdom and beat up the Golden Lion Legion, right?

Even if King Morton is willing, Lis'd feel embarrassed.

After all, the Golden Lion Knight Commander Bevis has indeed helped him several times.

But in the Western Desert, it's not very feasible either.

Due to the unique environment here, most forces exist in the form of city-states, making it nearly impossible to independently form an Extraordinary Professional Army.

Forces with such an army are like unique existences such as the War God Church.

Lis isn't eager to approach them, especially at his crucial breakthrough to Legend.

Going to those human kingdoms in the central continent seems unsuitable too; those with such armies often have Legends stationed.

It's better to avoid too much trouble...

Lis patted his head, if worst comes to worst, he might just have to return to the Elf Forest and kindly 'greet' his subordinates.

It feels a bit like bullying... isn't there someone he can legitimately beat up?

At this moment, Lis suddenly remembered something, his eyes narrowing slightly.

If worst comes to worst, he could go check there.

Over the years, there should be sufficient accumulation by now, right?

...

Cardiff Kingdom, Capital City of Dias,

Within the Royal Palace of the capital, a tense atmosphere enveloped the previously calm and serene court.

In the majestic and solemn palace, a young girl sat high on the throne, her beauty as fresh and elegant as a lily blooming in the dawn.

However, she was not wearing an ordinary dress, but the solemn ceremonial attire of a king.

The luxurious attire was embroidered with intricate gold patterns, each stitch manifesting supreme authority and dignity. While her figure seemed somewhat delicate, under the weight of the heavy dress, it conveyed an undeniable sense of strength.

The girl's face bore a trace of indecipherable fatigue, her eyes betraying a hint of deep weariness, as if burdened with too much for her age.

Her lips were pressed together, trying to suppress certain emotions from leaking out even a little.

Below the throne, several ministers were engaged in a heated argument.

Their voices rose and fell, sometimes passionate and ardent, sometimes low and roaring, flushed with anger, nearly escalating to a standoff.

Some waved their arms, others pounded the desk, each trying their best to defend their viewpoint, attempting to persuade each other, and to influence the young girl seated on the throne.

"I say, we must hurry and arrest that Pa Ao guy, or it'll be too late."

Spoke a fat minister angrily.

"Ha~, do you think Pa Ao is a fool? As the kingdom's strongest Duke, he commands the kingdom's most powerful Demon Lion Army."

"If he rebels, where will Her Majesty Delia draw troops from to respond?"

A tall, thin middle-aged man retorted mockingly.

"Then what do you suggest?"

The fat minister erupted in anger, pointing at the other while scolding:

"You sinister fellow, will you just stand by and watch that damned Pa Ao offend Her Majesty Delia's dignity, doing nothing?"

"That guy dared to propose to Her Majesty, he deserves to die!"

"Calm down, Perry."

The tall, thin man wiped the spittle off his face, saying with a somewhat displeased expression:

"I'm willing to give my life to protect Her Majesty Delia, but what can meaningless anger change?"

Seated on the throne, the girl's pretty face showed a hint of restlessness as she watched the commotion below.

"Enough."

Delia finally couldn't resist speaking up.

Hearing Delia's impatient voice, the ministers below remained angry, but stopped talking nonetheless.

"I'm tired, everyone leave."

With that, Delia stood up and left the hall without looking back.

A moment later, she arrived at a heavily guarded room deep within the Royal Palace, opened the door, and walked inside.
