167: Ancient Divine Stone (1/3)

120 billion HP.

9999 Defense.

Mythical units are truly formidable.

However, this was just its basic attributes. Li Si was more concerned about the Twisted Flame Ancient Tree's divine power.

30 points of divine power.

He guessed that divine power was the key to measuring the strength of a god.

“Boom!”

One thousand meters in an instant.

Li Si unleashed his extreme speed to lure away the Twisted Flame Ancient Tree.

Behind him, the Twisted Flame Ancient Tree pursued relentlessly.

“Damn it!”

How could this ancient tree move so fast!?

At least 5,000 meters per second.

With a distance of over 10,000 meters, the Twisted Flame Ancient Tree could catch up in a few seconds.

This made Li Si lament bitterly.

“Oh, that’s right, the scroll.”

At this moment, he thought of the attribute scroll he had obtained from the Light Church's treasury.

[Ten Thousand Li Sprint] (Legendary): Tear the scroll to double movement speed for 60 seconds.

“Pop——”

The scroll, emanating a green glow, shattered.

Li Si’s movement speed instantly soared to 2795.

This was 8.2 times the speed of sound!

“Crack——”

A sonic boom echoed across the heavens and earth.

“Flash!”

Space vibrated, and Li Si traversed the void, arriving 28,250 meters away.

That was 28 kilometers.

This was enough for the Twisted Flame Ancient Tree to chase for seven or eight seconds.

And Flash’s cooldown was only 5 seconds.

This meant that within the scroll’s duration, the Twisted Flame Ancient Tree couldn’t catch up to Li Si…

[Ding!]

[Rapid sprinting, physique gradually adapting, Heaven Rewards Diligence, movement speed increased.]

[Congratulations! Your base movement speed has permanently increased by 1 point.]

[Congratulations! Your base movement speed has permanently increased by 1 point.]

System prompts popped up from time to time, slowly increasing his movement speed…

Soon after, the scroll’s duration ended.

Li Si’s speed immediately slowed down, but by then, he had already left the Twisted Flame Ancient Tree over a hundred kilometers behind.

“Great Teleportation Technique!”

Space vibrated, and Li Si returned to the Dawn Camp.

In the sky, the twisted flames were still raging.

“Ant! 蟲! Damn you!”

Hundreds of kilometers away, the Twisted Flame Ancient Tree roared.

It was like a dog being walked by Li Si.

“Boom——”

The Twisted Flame Ancient Tree returned to the sky above the Dawn Camp.

“Ant, die!!”

Black flames swept towards the Tiance Flag.

Blood light pierced the sun, and the Tiance Flag rustled, blocking the black flames.

The Twisted Flame Ancient Tree had been lured away by Li Si for a minute.

In other words, the Tiance Flag could now hold out until the Tiance War God arrived.

“Hehe, you’re the one who should die.”

Li Si took out the Great Wilderness Sun-Shooting Bow and attacked the Twisted Flame Ancient Tree frantically.

-4.385 million! Skill - Life Scourge

-4.385 million! Skill - Life Scourge

-4.385 million! Skill - Life Scourge

...

Dense damage numbers popped up, all true damage. Calamity Arrival continued to stack, and in less than half a minute, Li Si’s damage per second approached 1 billion.

But even with such terrifying output,

The Twisted Flame Ancient Tree’s HP bar showed no signs of decreasing.

“Gods are indeed gods.”

Li Si secretly sighed, and began to check the Twisted Flame Ancient Tree’s talents.

[Mythical Power]: Immune to all damage below the divine rank, instantly kills all units below the divine rank. (Units below the divine rank but possessing divine power are not included in this scope)

The first talent already shocked Li Si immensely.

A heaven-defying talent.

Divine Power!

At this moment, he desperately wanted to obtain the divine power attribute!

Possess divine power!

Then he wouldn’t have to worry about being instantly killed!

[Divine Body]: All damage received is reduced by 99%, recovers 5% of maximum HP per second, consumes divine power to recover 10% of maximum HP per second.

“This…”

Li Si’s eyes widened.

Recovering 5% of maximum HP per second, with the Twisted Flame Ancient Tree’s 120 billion HP, that was 6 billion HP recovered per second.

No wonder it wasn’t losing HP!

“Crack——”

Space shattered.

A colossal figure, blotting out the sky, appeared in the firmament.

Three minutes had passed, and the Tiance War God had arrived.

His war spear pierced through everything, striking with lightning speed.

“Puff!”

The Twisted Flame Ancient Tree’s head rolled off, instantly killed by the Tiance War God’s spear.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations! You have successfully completed the Dawn Blade’s class advancement trial.]

“Descendant, you are very good.”

The Tiance War God raised his hand, summoning two orbs of light: “Thank you for protecting my subordinates. These are what you deserve.”

As his words fell,

Everything vanished into nothingness.

The Dawn Camp and the Tiance War God disappeared without a trace.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations! You have obtained the item — Dawn Blade (True God).]

[Congratulations! You have obtained the item — ancient divine stone (Special).]

The two orbs of light slowly landed in Li Si’s palm.

The first item was, without a doubt, a class proof. After using it, he could obtain the True God-tier Swordsman class, Dawn Blade.

Li Si was very curious about the second item.

ancient divine stone?

Could it be related to Ancient Divine Art? Crushing the ancient divine stone could randomly grant an Ancient Divine Art?

With full anticipation, Li Si checked the ancient divine stone’s attributes and effects.

[ancient divine stone]: After use, you can choose to strengthen an Ancient Divine Art, adding additional abilities to it.

Strengthen a Divine Art?

Li Si was incredibly surprised, not having anticipated this possibility.

However, he quite liked this effect.

Great Teleportation Technique, Great Replication Technique, Great Luck Technique.

Which Divine Art would be better to strengthen?

After a moment of thought, he finally decided to strengthen the Great Teleportation Technique, as it was the Divine Art he used the most.

“Buzz——”

Brilliant golden light burst forth.

Li Si’s luck temporarily soared to over 800 points.

After crushing the ancient divine stone, a system prompt popped up.

[Ding!]

[Strengthening successful!]

[Congratulations! Your skill — Great Teleportation Technique has gained the additional ability — Instant Teleportation.]

“Instant Teleportation? Could it be…”

Li Si quickly opened his skill interface and checked the Great Teleportation Technique’s panel.

[Great Teleportation Technique -- max]

Quality: Special

Active: Chanting and channeling for 4 seconds, can teleport oneself to any area already visited.

Requirement: 10,000 mana, if mana is less than 10,000, consumes all mana.

Instant Teleportation: Great Teleportation Technique does not require chanting or channeling, casting is completed instantly.

Description: An Ancient Divine Art left over from ancient times.

“Haha!”

It really was this effect!

Li Si was overjoyed. No channeling required, wouldn’t that make him invincible?

Not yet, not completely invincible!

If he could get another ancient divine stone and add abilities like [Forced Teleportation] and [Group Teleportation] to the Great Teleportation Technique, then it would truly be invincible.

“ancient divine stone, huh?”

Li Si secretly made a mental note of this item.

The scene shifted, and he appeared in Tianzi Number One.

“Alisa, pay attention to collecting ancient divine stones.”

“Yes!”

The beautiful elf was obedient to her Prince.

“Pop——”

The Dawn Blade slowly merged into Li Si’s palm.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations! You have obtained the combat class — Dawn Blade (True God).]

“It’s here!”

My fourth god-tier class!

seven stars treasure lotus progress: 4/8!

He still had a second-class advancement scroll, the one contributed by the Fengyun Heavy Cavalry. After completing the Great Wilderness Archer’s third advancement, he could immediately activate the Dawn Blade’s second advancement.

[Dawn Blade] (First Advancement)

Quality: True God

Skill: [Dawn Blade max — True God]

Description: In endless darkness, the Dawn Blade shines, cutting through all things in the world. Players will automatically complete their second advancement after reaching Level 30 and automatically unlock more skills.

“Hmm? What’s going on?”

Li Si frowned slightly, feeling that something wasn’t quite right.

Mythical classes had two skills, but True God classes only had one?

Was this correct?

So, with a hint of doubt, he mentally clicked on Dawn Blade.
