Chapter 117, did you learn it from Pin Dao Dao?
"boom--!!!"
A terrifying explosion rang out outside Thousand Light City!
A golden light suddenly appeared, like the sun falling to earth.
In Chen You's hand, the Jade Emperor Sword seemed to ripple through the space wherever its blade pointed.
"Click..."
A crisp, shattering sound reached the ears of everyone present.
Immediately afterwards, the ancient stone tablet, which had stood for countless years and withstood countless attacks without being damaged, shattered into pieces before the horrified eyes of all the players!
Countless pebbles of varying sizes, mixed with fragments of runes, transformed into a terrifying energy storm that swept outwards in all directions!
"Holy crap! Reload!"
"Run!!"
"Mom, save me!"
Players who were nearby screamed and scrambled backward.
Even so, they were still knocked to the ground by the powerful blast of air, with a series of [-1] and [-1] floating above their heads.
However, no one paid attention to this insignificant harm.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the smoke-filled center, their minds blank.
Broken?
It's really broken?
The stone tablet that countless players have tried to attack, yet it has always remained unscathed, is considered an "absolutely indestructible scene prop".
Just like that... he was cleaved into countless fragments by a single sword strike?
The smoke and dust had not yet dissipated.
A thick, dark red beam of light, as strong as a pillar supporting the sky, suddenly shot up from the original site of the stone tablet, tearing through the clouds and piercing the heavens!
The entire area of Thousand Light City was shrouded in this ominous bloody light, and the sky seemed to have been splashed with thick blood.
A violent, chaotic, and chilling aura descended from the sky, making it difficult for all the players to breathe.
"Buzzing—"
In the center of that crimson pillar of light, the previously shattered stone tablet fragments seemed to be drawn back by some mysterious force, rapidly reforming themselves in mid-air!
In just a few breaths, a brand new boundary marker, its entire surface a strange blood-red color, stood up again in the same spot.
It is taller than before, and the inscription on the monument is no longer an ancient description of the dungeon, but a relief of countless twisted and struggling vengeful spirits.
Wisps of black energy emanated from it, radiating a terrifying pressure that sent shivers down one's spine.
At the very top of that blood-red boundary marker, two lines of text, formed from fresh blood and seemingly still warm, are permanently imprinted upon it.
Destruction mode is now enabled.
[The Destroyer: Chen You]
The next second, a blood-red announcement that covered the entire Origin Realm and could not be ignored by any player came rushing in!
[World Announcement]
Player "Chen You" has successfully unlocked the Destruction Mode of the dungeon "Tomb of a Thousand Lights"! As the unlocker, his name will be permanently engraved on the dungeon's boundary marker!
["Destruction Mode" is a high-difficulty challenge mode where the strength and number of monsters are greatly increased, making it extremely difficult to complete.]
However, the drop rewards are exceptionally generous, with a very low probability of obtaining special items.
[WARNING: The 'Destruction Mode' can only be challenged once per day. Adventurers, please proceed with caution!]
……
The world announcement rolled three times, searing the eyes of all adventurers.
Outside the tomb, before the stone tablet, there was a deathly silence.
All the players seemed to be frozen in place, staring blankly at the blood-red boundary marker.
Looking at that figure standing there calmly with his sword sheathed, I felt my worldview being repeatedly crushed.
"I...I'm not seeing things, am I? He really...came again?"
"I thought the incident in Wailing Valley was just an isolated case... but now it seems to be his specialty."
"This guy is a professional at making announcements worldwide!"
"Is that the main point? The main point is that stone tablet!"
A warrior player pointed at the crimson boundary marker, his voice trembling, "Do you know how tough that thing is?"
"I remember last time, the vice president of the 'Mad Axe' guild, that level 30 berserker, activated Berserk and swung his axe with all his might, and his hand bones were broken by the impact!"
"How...how could he kill me with just one sword strike..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood.
"I had only heard about it before, but now that I've seen it with my own eyes... I feel like he's not playing the same game as us at all."
A monk murmured to himself, expressing the thoughts of everyone present.
While everyone was still immersed in the enormous shock and unable to extricate themselves.
Chen You didn't even glance at the boundary marker engraved with his name again, and turned straight around, walking towards the blood-red entrance to the dungeon.
"Since I'm already here, I might as well save myself the trouble of making another trip." He thought to himself, "While I'm at it, I'll check out this level 20 destruction mode and see how much it improves my strength."
"He...he went back in?"
"You just activated Destruction Mode and immediately started farming?!"
"She's gone mad, she's really gone mad..."
Under the gaze of countless eyes filled with a mixture of awe, fear, and fanaticism, Chen You's figure did not pause for a moment. He stepped into the blood-red spatial ripples and disappeared.
……
Entering the tomb again felt completely different.
A faint pressure permeated the air; the oppressive aura emanating from the title "Ghost's Bane" was still effective, but its impact was noticeably diminished.
The skeletal soldiers on both sides of the passageway no longer prostrate themselves on the ground as before.
Instead, he stood there trembling, the empty flames of his soul flickering violently in his eyes. After struggling for a few seconds, he reluctantly dropped his weapon and knelt down.
"The difficulty has indeed increased."
Chen You raised an eyebrow slightly, but continued walking.
For him, it makes little difference whether he struggles for a few seconds before kneeling or kneels directly.
He continued to stroll leisurely.
It was still completely unobstructed.
In Destruction mode, the number of monsters increases significantly, and the passageways are almost overflowing with various undead creatures.
But their only fate was to transform into a large-scale worship scene the moment Chen You approached.
Then it shattered into pieces.
Less than five minutes.
Chen You arrived at the central hall again and met his old friend, the skeleton general Meng Hun.
At this moment, Meng Hun was almost twice as big as before.
His tattered armor was enveloped in a thick layer of black mist, and the soul fire in his eyes had turned a deep blood red.
His level also soared from 25 Elite Lord to [LV30-Elite Lord (Enhanced)].
It is surrounded by an aura of [resentment erosion] that slows down any creature that gets close.
"roar--!"
Upon seeing Chen You, Meng Hun did not tremble at all, but instead let out a roar filled with endless resentment and raised the giant blade in his hand.
Clearly, the destructive mode enabled its obsession to overcome the instinctive fear brought on by the "devil's nightmare".
"That's interesting."
Chen You remained expressionless, but a thought flashed through his mind.
The Heaven-Shattering Sword Technique – A Stunning Sight!
A dazzling golden sword light arrived in an instant, tearing through the air and heading straight for Meng Hun's head!
"clang--!"
With a loud bang, Meng Hun, surprisingly, arrived first and accurately blocked the attack with his giant blade!
Sparks flew everywhere!
The immense force caused the stone bricks beneath Meng Hun's feet to crack inch by inch, but it ultimately held firm!
【-twenty four】
An astonishing damage number appeared above his head, but he wasn't instantly killed.
"It's a bit hard."
Chen You was slightly surprised.
Meng Hun, who blocked the attack, seemed to be greatly stimulated. His blood-red pupils suddenly contracted, and black energy surged all over his body.
A ghastly green flame erupted from the giant blade in his hand, and a powerful "Soul Severing Slash" was already cleaving down!
However, Chen You didn't even lift his eyelids.
Behind him, a second Jade Emperor Sword quietly appeared, and with a hum, it instantly transformed into a magnificent sword wheel, which was the second move of the Heaven-Breaking Sword Technique - Chaotic Stars!
The sword wheel spun, protecting him in the center and perfectly blocking all of Meng Hun's attacks, emitting a series of dense "clanging" sounds.
At the same time, the first Jade Emperor Sword flashed with golden light again and unleashed "Surprising Beauty" once more!
Their offense and defense were perfectly coordinated!
"Pfft!"
This time, Meng Hun was no longer able to resist.
The golden sword light pierced through its brow as easily as cutting tofu.
Sword light flashed incessantly, and Meng Hun could no longer withstand it.
The massive skeletal body collapsed with a crash, turning into a pile of broken bones.
The entire battle lasted only a dozen seconds.
[Ding! You have successfully defeated [General Meng Hun (Enhanced)]!]
You have successfully cleared the dungeon [Tomb of a Thousand Lights (Destruction Mode)]!
You have received the first solo clear reward for the Tomb of a Thousand Lights (Destruction Mode)!
[Experience points +300000!]
Your level has been upgraded to LV19!
[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the item: [Shattered Core of the Tomb of a Thousand Lights] x1!]
A series of system notifications appeared, but Chen You's face showed no joy; instead, he began to feel anxious.
I can't kill the monsters instantly anymore...
It took more than ten seconds to defeat a mini-boss.
My fear of insufficient firepower has flared up again.
If you can't kill this monster instantly, won't the next monster be able to kill you instantly?
No, I need to go into seclusion and train until I reach the Foundation Establishment stage!
Refining Qi to level four is still too weak.
Having made up his mind, Chen You then checked the reward he had just received.
The Shattered Core of the Tomb of a Thousand Lights
[Type: Secret Realm Core]
[Description: A fragment containing the primordial power of a secret realm, seemingly capable of fusing with other fragments of the same type.]
Collect 10 fragments of the Secret Realm Core to forge a special world item—the Broken World Stone—at any blacksmith shop in a major city!
"Um?"
Chen You was taken aback for a moment.
Larger ones should be combined with smaller ones, and smaller ones should be combined with even smaller ones?
Sons and grandsons, endlessly?
This model, is it something they learned from the knife-fighting game?
Just as he was putting away the fragments and opening the system interface to exit the instance, he discovered a new message.
It's the arrow of the moon.
