68: The endless desert boundary is shattered!

The boundary wall was still frantically regenerating.

The spiderweb-like cracks were slowly repairing themselves, but the destructive power of the Goddess of Dawn's previous strike was unparalleled; even with the System's forced regeneration mechanism, it could not be repaired immediately.

Meanwhile, the Goddess of the Desert's strongest strike was ready to be unleashed, the Power Of Faith in her hands burning as hot as the sun!

Under Su Yan's command, the two deities stood side by side and launched a combined attack!

"Break!"

"Faith!"

The next moment, two clear shouts that pierced through heaven and earth rang out simultaneously high above the boundary wall.

The voices were ancient and enduring, filled with Divine Power, and rapidly spread across the entire Endless Desert map.

On this day, all players heard the voices of the gods.

They were all shocked and terrified, thinking that a deity had descended upon the Land of Divine Punishment.

Dawn illuminated the world, and the desert let out a booming sound.

Two spots of light, brighter than the sun, slammed into the boundary wall in the blink of an eye.

The boundary wall immediately let out a series of wails, and the unrepaired spiderweb-like cracks exploded with a bang.

Then, explosions occurred one after another, and countless fissures erupted across the boundless, towering boundary wall.

Creak— After teetering for two seconds, it finally gave way.

Rumble! The boundary wall could no longer withstand such great power and collapsed with a roar.

Like dominoes, it shattered into pieces from top to bottom.

In the sky, the dawn began to fade.

A cold wind blew across the desert.

In front of the broken boundary wall, the Goddess of Dawn and the Goddess of the Desert stood in the air, their jade sashes fluttering and long hair flying, smiling at each other.

Directly below the two deities, Su Yan looked up at the fragments of the boundary wall flying across the sky.

Those fragments were crystal clear, refracting the brilliance of the sunset, looking like a multicolored rain.

"This is a world that possesses deities..." Su Yan muttered to himself, his eyes becoming increasingly focused and bright.

"So, trying to stop me is impossible!"

He clenched his fists tightly, feeling an even greater urgency to upgrade his God Summoning Skill.

The power of the gods was, of course, far more than this.

It was merely restricted by the level of the Summon God skill.

Only after increasing the skill level could the two deities unleash stronger Divine Power.

Of course, Su Yan was well aware.

The two deities before him were most likely just Clones.

As for where the real gods were, he would probably only know once he reached the so-called Holy Capital.

...

Just as the boundary wall was broken, a world announcement echoed once again over the Land of Divine Punishment:

"Player 【Demon Slayer】 has shattered the Endless Desert boundary wall. The Endless Desert Rank limit has been lifted. Players at Rank 500 can proceed to the next map on their own."

"Players who have reached Rank 500 and completed the Breakthrough task will receive compensation rewards later."

"The green and healthy environment of the Land of Divine Punishment requires the joint maintenance of every player! Wishing the Travelers a pleasant journey, and may you arrive at the Holy Capital soon!"

...

This world announcement echoed in the sky for a long time, its reverberations lingering.

Asura City, at the peak of the firmament.

A figure hidden within the Void Realm, holding a three-foot green blade, slowly turned and left.

"Demon Slayer, not bad."

The Void Realm exploded into smoke and dissipated, leaving behind only this thought-provoking remark.

With this, the direct Rank for Human Race Players in the future would be as high as 999!

What kind of concept was this?

Although within the very limited lifespan of the Human Race, even if the Rank limit was lifted, very few could reach Rank 999.

However, players with an A-Rank Talent or higher, as long as they could endure hardship, would basically be able to reach it.

In other words, in the near future, the number of Human Race warriors would experience explosive growth, increasing several times over!

An era belonging to the Human Race was about to arrive!

At this very moment, in the Land of Divine Punishment, all players stood frozen in place, looking up at the sky, some unable to believe their ears.

What had they just heard?

Demon Slayer had actually shattered the Endless Desert boundary wall!

Wasn't it said that it couldn't be broken?

Even Demon Slayer himself had just completed his Breakthrough task...

The next moment, shock and confusion all turned into ecstasy and awe.

The world channel ushered in endless revelry, even crazier than when Demon Slayer first broke the wall.

"Demon Slayer! Awesome! Hahaha! So awesome!"

"Damn! That's so satisfying! I told you Demon Slayer is invincible! Who was it that said Demon Slayer couldn't break the Endless Desert boundary wall? Come out and get beaten up!"

"Don't say anything else, Demon Slayer is the god of our Human Race! The only god!"

"Thank you, Demon Slayer! Thank you, Demon Slayer! Thanks to you, my great-grandfather is finally saved! From now on, if there is anywhere you need the Imperial Capital Liu family, please just say the word, Demon Slayer!"

"Damn, another order failed!"

The revelry on the world channel soon spread to the real world like a prairie fire.

With the lifting of the Human Race's Rank 500 barrier, the Demon Slaying Institute once again urgently summoned the leaders of various departments, requiring them to make relevant preparations following the wave of resignations over the past two days.

Some Advanced rules and regulations also needed to be appropriately changed or revised.

At the end of the meeting, the Demon Slaying Institute sent this good news to the frontline Divine Strategy Legion and received a reply from Human Emperor Ye Zhibai: "The might of Demon Slayer is worthy of celebration!"

These eight short characters represented the highest honor of the Human Race at present!

...

"School is over, everyone go home and rest."

"Remember, given your current physical strength, you must not stay in the Divine Punishment for too long."

The school bell rang, and the Old Principal tapped the podium, calling all the students out of the Divine Punishment.

After the students had all left the classroom, Su Yan packed his backpack and glanced at Tang Xia, who was still staring at her phone in a daze.

"What are you looking at so intently? School is over, why aren't you leaving?"

Tang Xia turned around, "None of your business!"

"Are you still angry?"

Su Yan leaned in with a smile, wanting to apologize for saying the wrong thing in the morning, but accidentally glanced through her collar and caught a glimpse of the white, plump chest inside her school uniform.

"Ahem..."

Su Yan was already used to this, so he quickly coughed to shift his gaze away.

Only then did he look at Tang Xia's phone, seeing a comic with particularly poor drawing skills.

On the comic, a big-headed person who was not much better than a stick figure held a staff, pointed it at a high wall in front, and shouted righteously: "So what! History is written by people, and as the future Human Emperor, shouldn't I stand up and rewrite all of this?"

"I, Demon Slayer, will break through this boundary wall today and lead the Human Race toward revival!"

At the end of the comic, the high wall collapsed.

Demon Slayer stood with his head held high in front of the ruins, a bright red cape, which appeared from nowhere, flapping wildly behind him.

End of episode.

"The story of Demon Slayer continues~ Please keep following me! I am Jiang Xiaoli, a Soul artist who is good at telling stories!"

Fine, not only was the art style terrible, but the lines were also exceptionally chuunibyou.

Su Yan frowned in embarrassment.

"No way, you can actually read this kind of trash comic?"

Tang Xia put away her phone and glanced at him sideways: "What do you know? This is the hottest comic on the internet recently! Although the art style is a bit abstract, it's especially passionate and showcases Demon Slayer's heroic image vividly!"

Su Yan shook his head and smiled, not knowing what to say.

These days, there really are all kinds of people.

She had actually secretly drawn him into a comic.

Did she notify him? Did she pay copyright fees?

And please, could she get a more reliable artist? What kind of ghost is this Soul artist Jiang Xiaoli?

"Su Yan, why don't you take a look too? I'm telling you, it's super good!"

Tang Xia had obviously forgotten about being angry and started recommending it to him.

Su Yan immediately scoffed, "Forget it, would I read this kind of trash?"

"Absolutely impossible!"

...

On the school bus home, Su Yan and Tang Xia sat in the last row.

Neither of them spoke, only focusing on reading the comic on their phones, savoring it.

They didn't know how long they had been reading.

Suddenly, a poop-yellow button appeared before Su Yan's eyes.

"Holy crap!"

Su Yan, who was enjoying it, felt terrible.

Without thinking, he reached out and clicked the "urge for update" button.

Urge for update +1!

Hmph, Demon Slayer is urging for an update online; author, don't be ungrateful, update quickly!
