183: Goodbye, Ghost (1/3)

The mottled earth, the distorted air, the chaotic sky, the disordered order.

This was the Fallen Land.

“You damn human ant! What did he do to me?”

Alila’s left eye burst, and the pain made it howl intensely.

At this moment, a bolt of Void Lightning flashed past, shattering its left arm.

The next instant, an Infinite Wind howled, severing its right leg.

A continuous succession of Calamity Arrival ground it down to death.

“Tsk tsk… how interesting.” A shadow loomed over the sky, and after witnessing Alila’s plight, it let out an intrigued sigh: “It seems a remarkable Adventurer has appeared among this generation?”

…

Inside Qingyun Abode.

Li Si took out a third-job advancement scroll and crushed it.

“Beep!”

“Congratulations! You have received a hidden quest – Dawn Blade: Demon Slayer (Third Advancement).”

“The seal on the Fallen Land has loosened, and grotesque creatures occasionally escape. Please kill 10 grotesque creatures within 30 days to successfully complete the job advancement quest. Your job – Dawn Blade – will automatically advance to its third stage.”

Thirty days to kill 10 grotesque creatures.

“The difficulty is acceptable.”

Li Si thought of the Blacklight Subordinate City that A Smile is Enough had mentioned.

Perhaps there would be clues about grotesque creatures in Blacklight City…

“Job Panel.” He muttered in his mind.

“Dawn Blade (Second Advancement)”

“Quality: True God”

“First Advancement Skill: Dawn Blade MAX – True God”

“Second Advancement Skill: Dawn Boundary MAX – True God”

“Description: In the endless darkness, the Dawn Blade shines, cutting through all things in the world. Players will automatically complete their third advancement and unlock more skills upon reaching level 50.”

There was still only one job skill.

“It seems that True God-tier jobs only gain one skill per advancement.”

Li Si clicked on Dawn Blade’s second advancement skill.

“Dawn Boundary: Passive Skill: Damage dealt increased by 100%. After Armor Penetration exceeds 100%, it automatically converts into increased damage dealt, with a conversion ratio of 1:1. Currently, damage dealt is increased by 70%.”

“It’s here!”

Li Si was overjoyed; such a skill had indeed appeared.

He could utilize the excess Armor Penetration!

One skill, increasing damage by 170%, the data was explosive.

Including the Great Wilderness Sun-Shooting Bow’s 100%.

The damage dealt increase was already 270%.

The only regret was that the damage dealt bonus did not increase True Damage.

Otherwise, Skill - Life Scourge and Calamity Arrival would soar.

“Buzz—”

The surrounding scenery rapidly shifted as Li Si activated Fixed-Point Teleportation, arriving above Blacklight Subordinate City.

Stepping Sea Wind Walking!

He floated high in the sky, riding the gentle breeze.

Divine Pupil of Illusion Breaking!

His eyes gleamed with golden light as he overlooked Blacklight City…

Moments later, Li Si withdrew his gaze, having found nothing. There was no abnormality within Blacklight City.

Were A Smile is Enough’s words false? Or was the Divine Pupil of Illusion Breaking’s level not high enough to see more subtle details?

Li Si felt that A Smile is Enough had no reason to lie.

Therefore, the second possibility was more likely: the grotesque creatures were hidden very deeply.

“I’ll ask the Blacklight City Lord.”

…

“Greetings, Lord City Lord.”

At the entrance of the Blacklight City Lord’s manor, the guards, seeing Li Si’s title, immediately knelt in reverence.

“Take me to Li Heishui.”

“Lord City Lord, please follow me.”

Subsequently, under the guidance of the guard captain, Li Si successfully met the Blacklight City Lord.

He was a burly man over two meters tall.

“Greetings, Lord City Lord.” Li Heishui emerged from the room, greeting him with a smile.

“Mm.”

Li Si nodded slightly, sensing something amiss with Li Heishui.

A strange aura flowed around Li Heishui.

Could it be that Li Heishui had also been possessed by a grotesque creature?

“Divine Pupil of Illusion Breaking!”

Golden light burst from his sharp, star-like eyes, and Li Heishui’s attribute panel appeared before Li Si.

“Li Heishui (Legendary Monarch · Ghost Accomplice Latent)”

“Level: 99”

“Attributes: …”

He was indeed possessed.

“What a Ghost Accomplice!”

Li Si decisively raised his hand and cast Great Purification Technique.

The light of purification cleansed everything!

It expelled the Ghost Accomplice from Li Heishui’s body.

“Jie jie jie! Human worm! I’ll make you die!” The Ghost Accomplice’s distorted ghostly face floated in the air.

It opened its mouth and spat out a cold ray.

“Flash!”

Li Si grabbed Li Heishui’s arm and Flash-teleported a thousand meters away into the sky.

At this moment, Li Heishui slowly regained his senses and immediately prostrated: “Thank you, Lord City Lord, for saving my life!”

“What happened to you?”

“Lord City Lord, a spatial rift appeared in the southern area of Blackwater City. After I received the news, I went to investigate and accidentally fell for its trick.” Li Heishui said with an embarrassed expression.

At this moment, his heart was filled with endless gratitude towards Li Si.

If Li Si hadn’t intervened, he would have made a grave mistake.

“I want your body!”

The Ghost Accomplice transformed into a streak of green light and shot towards Li Si.

“Clang—”

A crisp sound rang out as the divine radiance of Great Purification Technique bounced the Ghost Accomplice away.

“You think you can take my body?”

“Awooo~~”

The Wind-Treading Tiger raised its paw, commanding the storm, and in an instant, endless wind blades sliced out.

But the Ghost Accomplice was unaffected by the wind blades!

Because it was formless and immaterial, impervious to physical attacks.

“Try my Soul Assault.”

Li Si’s eyes glinted with killing intent, striking ten times a second.

Formless and immaterial soul power attacked.

It struck silently.

-26.81 million! Skill - Life Scourge

-26.81 million! Skill - Life Scourge

-26.81 million! Skill - Life Scourge

…

The Ghost Accomplice’s HP plummeted by over 250 million!

At the same time, Calamity Arrival stacked to 10 layers, dealing over 1.5 million True Damage per second.

“You, you can actually use soul power?” The Ghost Accomplice was greatly alarmed, panic flashing in its eyes.

Having escaped the Fallen Land for seven days, this was the first time it had seen someone use soul power, which both shocked and terrified the Ghost Accomplice…

Li Si remained silent, only continuously attacking, using Soul Assault.

Casting ten times a second, his Mana was heavily consumed, causing the Limiter to frequently trigger, increasing his Mana Cap.

Under the effect of Mana Conversion, his HP Cap also increased.

-26.83 million! Skill - Life Scourge

-26.85 million! Skill - Life Scourge

-26.92 million! Skill - Life Scourge

…

The True God-tier Mana Conversion had a twentyfold conversion rate. For Li Si, it was an absolute super skill.

Moreover, he even doubted if Mana Conversion was truly True God quality?

Why was it so much more powerful than other True God skills? A 20x conversion rate was equivalent to a 2000% gain.

As time passed, the stacks of Calamity Arrival on the Ghost Accomplice rapidly climbed.

“Whoosh…”

Its HP dropped faster and faster.

“Human! I’ll make you die!”

“Boom—”

A terrifying aura surged, and the Ghost Accomplice advanced to the Mythical realm.

“Divine Power: 10 points.”

At this moment, disorderly divine power, like the Milky Way falling from the heavens, overwhelmingly crashed towards Blackwater City.

“It’s over! My Blackwater City!” Li Heishui’s face instantly turned pale.

At the same time, divine power also appeared above Tiannan Province in Xia Kingdom.

“Holy crap! We’re doomed—”

“This is divine power! Another Fallen God has appeared in Luanxing City!”

“Oh no! Please don’t!”

“Help! I don’t want to die!!”

“Crazy God! Help—”

“…”

At this moment, the people of Hai City began to pray.

Just as the Ghost Accomplice’s divine power was about to strike, Li Si decisively acted.

Great Teleportation Technique—

Mass Teleportation!

Supreme Teleportation!

“Bang!!”

The surrounding space was torn apart, and he and the Ghost Accomplice vanished on the spot.

The next instant, the disordered divine power dissipated, and everything returned to normal.
