64: A level 500 dungeon was cleared in seconds, and a "human emperor" appeared in the world chat.

No one knew what had happened.

These wild monsters were usually fierce and brutal, with high HP and defense.

In particular, the Lizard Elite Warriors were vividly nicknamed 'Mud Trucks' by players.

They would charge recklessly, ramming into anyone they saw.

Once entangled with them, they were extremely difficult to kill in a short amount of time.

But unexpectedly, they had all suddenly committed mass suicide!

Other than a System bug, no one could explain this supernatural event.

In front of the Desert Cave dungeon, the players were all drawn in by this sudden turn of events.

For a moment, they all forgot about grinding the dungeon and stepped forward curiously to investigate.

“No, it needs to be even faster!”

Standing before the dungeon NPC, Su Yan shook his head.

“Misha, can it be even faster?”

The charming voice of the Goddess of the Desert whispered in his ear:

“Replying to Master: earlier was just a demonstration of the Power Of Faith; the suicide process can be omitted.”

“That’s good then.”

Hearing this, Su Yan felt completely at ease, a smile appearing on his face.

Then what are we waiting for? Enter the dungeon!

“Please note, your Rank is far lower than the dungeon Rank, and your party has fewer than 5 members. Are you sure you want to enter the Desert Cave?”

“Confirm!”

...World Announcement:

“Congratulations to player 【Demon Slayer】 for clearing the Desert Cave dungeon solo! Time taken: 0.78 seconds!”

Clear Rating: ?!”

...Inside the dim and dry Desert Cave, Su Yan had only just entered.

His consciousness was still in a state of Chaos, and he hadn't even clearly seen his surroundings yet.

This ethereal world announcement suddenly rang out above his head.

Su Yan: “???”

Su Yan was instantly stunned.

This... the dungeon is cleared already?

“0.78 seconds!”

Seeing the clear time, Su Yan couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

Immediately after, his eyes filled with pleasant surprise.

Impressive!

The Power Of Faith is truly terrifying!

It actually brought the clear time down to under 1 second!

The System rating went directly from '???' to '?!'; perhaps even the System thought it was ridiculous.

“Well done, Misha.”

After praising the Goddess of the Desert, Su Yan felt exceptionally refreshed.

This way,

First place on the historical leaderboard is mine!

And barring any accidents, this ranking will likely never change again.

After all, he didn't believe anyone would be more of a freak than him in the future... Just as the world announcement rang out,

The Land of Divine Punishment world channel exploded as usual.

“?!”

“?!”

“?!”

In high synchronization with the System's clear rating, the world channel was immediately flooded with exclamation marks.

Everything was understood without words... 0.78 seconds!

This speed was fast enough to make one's scalp tingle!

Even using cheats wouldn't be this fast!

Although through constant exposure over the past few days, Demon Slayer breaking dungeon records had become the norm,

When Demon Slayer handed in this result of 0.78 seconds,

It still immediately gave these players a sense of intense shock and immense satisfaction.

They were all reaching a climax of excitement.

“So freaking awesome! The last world announcement felt like it was only a few minutes ago... I'm willing to call Demon Slayer the fastest man in history!”

“You bet! You have to know that even when Human Emperor Ye Zhibai, Mo Wen, and Dugu teamed up, it took them a full 3 minutes to clear it!”

“Can Great Master Demon Slayer see this? My great-grandfather is 135 years old this year, and his Rank in Divine Punishment is 500.

He's currently in the ICU. The doctor said if he doesn't achieve a Breakthrough, he won't have more than two months to live.

So, may I ask when Demon Slayer will smash through the Endless Desert boundary wall? Please, save my great-grandfather!”

“Regarding the situation above, I suggest it's best to prepare for the funeral in advance.

By the way, my dad is a funeral Great Master and provides a one-stop service that makes you feel right at home. Want to leave a contact number?”

Gu Xingxia: “Looking for... like-minded friends online, gender doesn't matter.”

On this day, the world once again went crazy for Demon Slayer.

Buzz!

But just then,

The world channel suddenly fell into a dead silence. All the free speech of the Human Race Players vanished.

It was as if chat permissions had been disabled; the channel suddenly became empty.

Such a bizarre scene

lasted for about two minutes.

Mo Wen: “Demon Slayer, not bad.”

In the world channel, which was cleaner than a face, such a sentence suddenly appeared.

Just four short words,

yet they seemed to possess endless magic, drawing the gaze of all players.

But it was only fleeting.

Because as soon as this sentence appeared,

it was as if permissions had been opened again; the world channel exploded with a boom, returning to its chaotic state once more.

“Hiss, that person just now was Human Emperor Mo Wen!”

“Mo Wen? Is that the Human Emperor who rules Asura City and is responsible for watching over the Land of Divine Punishment?”

“That's the one! But I heard Mo Wen is the most taciturn of the four Human Emperors. I didn't expect even he would be drawn out!”

“Holy crap, Demon Slayer is amazing!”

Right now,

the sudden appearance of Human Emperor Mo Wen on the world channel pushed the atmosphere to a climax once again... inside the Desert Cave dungeon.

Su Yan naturally saw this sentence from Human Emperor Mo Wen as well.

“Does this count as recognition from a Human Emperor?”

Su Yan laughed in spite of himself.

It seemed that this Human Emperor Mo Wen had been watching all the commotion he'd caused in the Land of Divine Punishment these past few days.

Of the four Human Emperors, excluding the fallen Dugu,

Su Yan had finally 'seen' a living one.

Mo Wen.

History books said he was the second person to awaken an SSS-Rank Talent after Ye Zhibai.

At a time when the Demon Race was invading the Blue Planet in force and the Human Race's front lines were completely collapsing,

an elite Demon Race legion had driven straight in from Mao Country, invading the borders of China.

With the nation in peril, it was Mo Wen who went forth alone with a single sword.

With a three-foot blade, he defined the path of a Saint of the Sword Dao.

Using heaven and earth as the chessboard and the Demon Race army as the pieces,

Mo Wen, by his own strength, turned the raging waves and played a game that defied heaven to turn the tide!

In that battle, a million elite Demon Race soldiers were wiped out,

and they never dared to step into China again!

From then on, Mo Wen became a Human Emperor.

He presided over Asura City and guarded the Land of Divine Punishment.

Recalling this, Su Yan remarked with emotion:

“As expected of the strongest existence among the Human Emperors. Mo Wen's path of growth is simply legendary.”

But even so... he still hoped more to gain the recognition of the other Human Emperor—Li Yueqing!

Not for any other reason; those who know, know.

Quickly brushing away these stray thoughts, Su Yan shook his head.

He began to check the dungeon ranking rewards.

【2.5 Million Gold Coins】, 【All Stats +700】, 【Damage Overload Lv1】, 【no-level breakthrough voucher】

With just one glance, Su Yan was instantly delighted.

Without a word, he pulled the last reward directly from his bag.

【no-level breakthrough voucher】 (Special Item):

With this item, the player will no longer be restricted by Rank and can directly accept the clear Breakthrough quest.

Upon completing the Breakthrough quest, the next map can be unlocked.

Remaining uses: 5 times... “Good grief, I say, good grief!”

After reading the description, Su Yan almost laughed out loud.

Even an idiot could see that the System's intent was more than obvious:

Demon Slayer, isn't it that you can't level up and are stuck at Rank 1 forever?

It doesn't matter. I've arranged this 【no-level breakthrough voucher】 for you now, so you can still achieve a Breakthrough even at Rank 1.

So, can we please stop breaking the walls? Respect the game mechanics, okay?

Inside the dungeon,

Su Yan looked at this special item rewarded by the System in his hand for a moment,

then turned around and threw it directly into the trash bin in his Void Realm bag.

“I won't!”

“This grandpa is going to break the wall!”
