Chapter 1379 - Chapter 1379 Chapter 1379 Astonishing Secrets

Chapter 1379: Chapter 1379: Astonishing Secrets Chapter 1379: Chapter 1379: Astonishing Secrets The shockwave passed, leaving everyone in disarray. Although their plight wasn’t as pitiable as those torn asunder at the epicenter of the explosion, it was still a sorry sight, with blood trickling from ears and brains ringing, leaving them dizzy and swollen-headed.

One by one they stared dazedly at the goddess enveloped in light spots. This luminance was all too familiar–it was the glow of Soul White Light returning to the graveyard. But now, for reasons unknown, it was being imprisoned, disintegrated, and absorbed by the goddess.

The consequences of Soul White Light absorption were too severe. This was not unexperienced by others–death once meant a direct loss of five levels’ worth of experience. And for those who had just crossed the threshold of level ten, it seemed they wouldn’t lose a level, but their fate was even worse.

For instance, losing five levels before fifty usually meant falling back to level forty-four. As long as the gear wasn’t removed, one could continue to wear it even if the level requirement wasn’t met.

However, a level fifty player wanting to level up would need to amass the experience from level fifty to fifty-five before they could continue progressing. And with the Soul White Light absorbed, the soul would fall into a weakened state.

One’s own attributes and agility would be weakened by fifty percent within one day, and over the next five days, it would get a little better but still would not reach ninety percent of one’s prime.

The higher the level, the more severe the death penalty.

After the main storyline dungeon, the death penalty system aimed at boss-level players would be enacted. From then on, if a mid-level boss player or above dies outside of dungeons or similar scenarios, they would lose an entire quality level.

You should know, except for the freak that is Li Yao, leveling up in quality relies on Divine Power. Other players need to complete tasks of difficulty S or above in order to ascend in quality.

Class S isn’t a fixed difficulty but a rating based on the strength of the person attempting the task. A Class S task is almost impossible to complete; it’s only through a combination of luck and arduous, repeated attempts that some super experts become bosses.

You can say that not only does one lose a level upon death but also a quality level, which is extremely cruel for top players.

This is also to become closer to the magical reality, where the price of death is far too great.

Now, as everyone slowly integrates into The Ancient God World, adapting to its harsh gameplay, the sight of hundreds of thousands of top players falling to such an end still left them lost and full of trepidation.

The number of surviving players was less than one hundred and fifty thousand, all foolishly staring as the lake waters flowed in reverse. The massive shockwave turned rocks and soil into two sub-lakes, and in an instant, the lake expanded nearly by half.

Moreover, as the lake water rushed backward, the water level showed no sign of dropping, as if the groundwater was also pouring in madly. This place truly was a colossal pit of water.

“The gods, how terrifying,” said Tonton with dirt-covered cheeks, her cute face unable to take her eyes off the two Unparalleled goddesses.

“With the summoning spell disrupted by the boss and incomplete, it’s this terrifying. And these are merely their low-level Camp Phase boss forms. If they were to project higher levels, World Phase, Demigod Phase, or their actual bodies, just the thought alone is shivering,” said the Angel Envoy, his face full of pallor; the recent explosion was just too shocking.

The blonde gamer’s face was filled with stupefaction, “This is terrifying. Can we really take advantage of the chaos?”

Edward lost his unmatched grace, utterly disheveled, but also didn’t have time to tidy up. “That guy still remains unscathed until now. If he can fight, so can I. I will look for a chance to enter the battle later, and you lead them to watch Starfire’s people. If they stay here, you stay. If they retreat, don’t hesitate for a second. Such divine experts are not something this small number of people can deal with.”

Most regained their senses only after the lake returned to calm, but also largely lost their fighting spirit. Only a very few super experts bit their teeth and prepared to fight upon seeing Li Yao still standing on the water pillar.

Although they knew it was very dangerous, and punishment was severely harsh, death would even lead to soul absorption, but the potential rewards were equally tempting. They believed that Li Yao wouldn’t continue to contend with the two goddesses without the prospect of great benefits.

However, in reality, Li Yao’s original intention was not to seek much advantage, but to maintain his achievements. He cannot die in the underworld; otherwise, his missions and rank would revert to before liberation.

“Two goddesses, you should have regained your energy now, right? Who I should help in the remaining time is a tough decision indeed.”

Li Yao saw the faint glow protecting the two goddesses disappear, knowing that they had acquired corresponding divinity through the souls of hundreds of thousands, their combat strength had once again increased, obviously re-entering the combat state, and Li Yao became on guard himself.

The two goddesses absorbed hundreds of thousands of souls, their temperament even more distinct.

The Lion Scorpion Goddess looked fierce and domineering, filled with a subtle darkness.

The Ros Goddess resembled a delicate flower from hell, but within her stunning beauty hid endless danger.

In the hands of the Lion Scorpion Goddess was a chain that moved on its own. At one end of the chain was a fierce Warhammer with spikes, and at the other end was a razor-sharp sickle, a strangely shaped weapon alive like a dancing dragon.

Behind Ros, floated two X-shaped War Blades, spinning like windmills behind her. Her fingernails had suddenly grown several inches, the light flickering, deeply blue and penetrating, sharp and sinister.

The expressions of the two goddesses fluctuated, they had thought that the recent onslaught, even if not fatal to Li Yao, would have left him embarrassed and half-dead, but Li Yao was unharmed, leaving them at a loss for a moment on how to deal with the variable that was Li Yao.

“Tsk tsk, the two goddesses really have quite a few good things, it seems I lost out just now. Purple Water Chestnut Goddess, your sickle must be a replica of the third form of the Reaper’s Scythe, it seems the great craftsmen of the Abyss are unfathomably deep, to be able to reach the level of a Demigod Artifact even without the infusion of Divine Power. As for Ros Goddess, those two War Blades must be the forms taken by the Dark God Sovereign Weapon after being shattered. Rumors have it that the Dark Sovereign ruled the entire Abyss after the Death God’s fall, such a pity he was betrayed by gods from the Chaos Camp and silently invaded by the neutral and order sovereigns and killed in his own lair.”

“It is said that in that war, not only did the Dark Sovereign fall, but the other two sovereigns were also plotted against and heavily injured. The layer of the Abyssal Plane affected by the great war was torn asunder, with more than a billion dead or injured, and the whereabouts of the Dark Sovereign’s weapon was unknown. To think that today it appears before me, and even in your hands.”

“Tsk tsk, I boldly speculate that your relationship with Purple Reviews was strained at the time, but not yet to the point of life and death. After that war, like comets, you two rose from the ranks of minor gods and stood out among the Abyss Gods, becoming sovereign gods. It seems you’ve obtained the legacy of the Dark Sovereign, truly a shocking secret…”
