“God Mode!”

Li Yi took off into the air and began attacking the four Superior Ember Spirits below him.

“Shoot at Random!”

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Countless Star Arrows were shot frantically in all directions, damaging the four Superior Ember Spirits as their HP continuously decreased.

Enraged, the four Superior Ember Spirits let out a feral cry as they launched a counter-offensive. Despite that, their attacks could not reach Li Yi as the distance between them was just too great.

Just like that, Li Yi had blown through the hardest checkpoint without breaking a sweat!

The Superior Ember Spirits died at nearly the same time, and once they were dead, Li Yi steadily landed on the platform.

The purple treasure chest was still flickering, and it was locked. Li Yi attempted to open it via Universal Key, but it was futile.

‘It seems that this chest is the same as the one which Autumn Love is still trying to open. It looks like it requires a specific key in order to be opened.’

‘Hua Feihua has a purple key on her, could it be…’

Li Yi was lost in thought for a moment, but soon after, he went through the exit behind the purple treasure chest.

Kaboom! Kaboom!

A loud sound rang into his ears, and when he opened his eyes, he was placed into another pitch-black room.

Aside from the white treasure chest located ahead, there was nothing else in the room. Like the previous room, it was also a dead end.

Li Yi had opened up numerous red, purple, and green treasure chests during his time in both of the lava maps but opening up a white one was a first for him.

“I just hope that it’s not locked…”

Li Yi muttered a silent prayer before moving forward.

Ding!

Li Yi gently tapped the white treasure chest, and it immediately flew open. He then reached his hand into it to loot it.

You have obtained a Flame Dragon Key from the treasure chest.

…

‘There’s nothing else…’

The white treasure chest had only contained a key called ‘Flame Dragon Key’.

Li Yi inspected the Flame Dragon Key carefully, but it only planted more seeds of mystery.

To his surprise, the display text of the key was black in color, which was the same Quality as Autumn Love’s mysterious helmet…

‘Purple-colored items are of Epic-Level, and Orange-colored ones are Legendary-level. So, what level are Black-colored items? Also, where am I supposed to use this item at?’

The road ahead was a dead end, and there was nothing else in the room. It was evident that the Flame Dragon Key was not meant to be used here…

He gave it some deep thought, but to no avail, and even searching the official page was fruitless. Reluctantly, Li Yi placed the key into his inventory for further research later on.

Once he returned to the lava map, Li Yi opened up his friend list and contacted Hua Feihua.

Since he had no way to confirm whether the purple treasure chest before him was Hua Feihua’s quest item, he decided that the best way was to pull Hua Feihua over to verify it for herself.

He added Hua Feihua into the party and followed it up by pulling her over with the friend summoning tool.

Snap!

Hua Feihua carefully inserted her purple key into the keyhole, and the treasure chest opened instantly…

‘It IS her quest item!’

The treasure chest contained a single item, which was a tattered Skill Tome.

It was a tome for the Epic-level skill of Sky Vagabonds, Air Dance Technique!

Air Dance Technique: Allows control over wind. By continuously depleting mana, it enables the user to glide temporarily in the air. Additionally, it increases the M-ATK of the user when using the skill.

Air Dance Technique was the signature skill of Sky Vagabonds, and it was also one of the hardest skills to obtain. To illustrate its difficulty, imagine that without any assistance, a person would have to go through an hour-long session of jumping around. To make matters worse, they would have to face a monster on each platform as they approached the end of the map. As such, there was no way a lone Sky Vagabond would be able to make it all the way through with the measly number of skills they possessed.

Hua Feihua clapped her hands, and the Skill Tome converted into a ray of light which entered her skull.

Without Li Yi’s help, she would never have learned this skill in her entire lifetime.

“Big Brother Dark Wing, I…” Hua Feihua was looking passionately at Li Yi. Her soulful expression had given the feeling that she would not reject Li Yi’s commands even if he told her to run naked in the streets…

“Don’t call me big brother, I’m not older than you.”

Li Yi hopped onto the platforms and left without looking back.

Now that Hua Feihua had learned Air Dance Technique, she could travel past those platforms much more effortlessly compared to Li Yi.

Once he exited the lava map, Li Yi returned to the pitch-black hallway where Lonely Semi City was grinding monsters at.

Although he was alone, Lonely Semi City was brimming with energy. There was not a shred of fatigue on Lonely’s face, and compared to him, Li Yi was dead-tired.

‘What the heck is he made of? He hasn’t eaten or slept for nearly three days and he’s still so energetic…’

“Want to join?” Lonely Semi City shouted towards Li Yi.

Li Yi shook his head, “Nah, you’ll lose out if we split the EXP points, it’ll be better if you go at it yourself.”

As shown in the ranking board of the Invincible Continent, Lonely Semi City was now at Level 77, which was only one level less than Li Yi. By the looks of it, unless he overtook Li Yi, he would not sleep.

Li Yi politely invited Hua Feihua ‘out’ of the party, and due to Autumn Love’s relentless distress calls, he had also ‘hugged’ her out of the lava map. Also, the price of carrying her had also been reduced to 10 Gold Coins.

“What’s the rush? I’m coming to get you out, stop pestering me!”

On the other side of things, Jiaojiao and Pretty Good Mood had mobilized all the guild members of Little Drunk Cat Guild. They were working arduously to complete a Guild Construction Quest.

The hardest part of upgrading the Guild was not the guild capital and materials that amounted to billions. Instead, it was the mind-blowing amount of Construction Points and Glory Points needed.

The Glory Points was best summarized as the Guild’s popularity, something which Little Drunk Cat was not lacking. On the other hand, the Construction Points were points that are obtained by completing Construction Quests. Each successful run would yield 1 point, and upgrading the Guild from Level 9 to Level 10 would require 90,000,000 Construction Points…

Completing Construction Quests was no big deal. However, aside from a few Guild Contribution Points, this *ss of a quest gave nothing else. Worse still, it took several hours for each run, making it a pain to complete. Under normal circumstances, unless the Guild Master issued an ultimatum that kicked all the members that failed to contribute, there were rarely any warriors that volunteered for the quest.

Thankfully, under Fire Ice’s powerful influence, thousands of players to run Guild Construction Quests free of charge without Li Yi’s intervention.

The success was all thanks to Fire Ice. No one knew how she did it, but there was no need to worry about the quests, as there was always someone volunteering to run the Guild Construction Quests every day. If it was not for Fire Ice’s busy exam schedule, Little Drunk Cat would have already reached Level 10.

“Brothers, it is almost time to bask in glory! Soon, we can take pride that we’re the first Level 10 guild in all of King of Pantheon, which is three levels higher than other guilds! This is my achievement and it is also yours! So let us all work hard to celebrate this glorious occasion!”

Pretty Good Mood’s modest words had roused the spirits of the members of Little Drunk Cat Guild.

‘Who doesn’t want their guild to be amazing? Who doesn’t want their name to be flashy?’

Giving out harsh orders would only demotivate them, on the other hand, motivational speeches would only raise their morale, motivating them to give their fullest effort.

Compared to Little Drunk Cat Guild that was soaring in spirits, Tyrannic Dynasty was having an awful time.

They were already close to becoming a Level 8 Guild, but due to their loss in the Throne-claiming battle, Defiantly Tyrannical succumbed to grave illness and most of the guild’s elites had left, which slowed down their progress significantly.

One was like the high noon, and the other was like a setting sun…

At 18:36 in the evening, under Jiaojiao and Pretty Good Mood’s commands, Little Drunk Cat had successfully achieved the status of a Level 10 Guild.

The system announced their achievement with huge golden letters, and once again, Little Drunk Cat Guild had shaken the Pantheon World.

The members of Little Drunk Cat Guild were now in a frenzy. To express their overwhelming joy, they sent message after message to the World Channel. For your information, each message in the World Channel costs 1 Gold Coin, which was relatively expensive. However, it mattered little to the guild members of Little Drunk Cat, as they were high with ecstasy!

“All hail Guild Master Dark Wing! All Hail Clan Master Jiao! …”

“I love Little Drunk Cat, this is my home!”

Countless messages appeared in the World Channel, and even Li Yi could no longer bear to watch. ‘You’re all wasting money…’

Unfortunately, even if Li Yi had prohibited them from sending the messages, they would not have stopped. Now that their guild was at Level 10, they were beyond ecstatic!

Li Yi’s original plan was to pull Jiaojiao and the others over once they claimed the Level 10 Guild EXP buff. Then, they would grind their levels and hunt down Caitley for her bracelet once they had enough levels.

However, Li Yi had gravely miscalculated…

Back at the Abyssal Canyon Crevice, several thousand Engineers were mounted on top of the crevice. Beside them was an aloof Clan Master Jiao who was riding on top of the King-only Mount, Crimson Emperor Warhorse.

With both her hands, Clan Master Jiao raised her jet-black greatsword, shouting, “Brothers! We are here to celebrate Little Drunk Cat’s ascension to Level 10 by dousing the Southern Continent in blood!”

The idea to massacre the Southern Continent was proposed by several members including Pretty Good Mood. Jiaojiao liked the idea and she immediately leaped to action.

“Massacre the Southern Continent and earn Honor Value! Kill! Kill! KILL!” Thousands of members shouted in unison.

Once the engineers had finished setting up, Jiaojiao issued a ‘King’s Order’!

Brothers, bathe the Southern Continent in blood. Now get out and KILL KILL KILL…

As long as one were online and were a member of the same camp, they would be able to receive a King’s Order.

When Li Yi, who was still in the Wailing Grotto, received the King’s Order, he was flabbergasted.

Li Yi did not click ‘Accept’, instead, he only a sent a message to Jiaojiao, saying, “Clan Master Jiao, what’s going on?”

“I’m going to destroy Arthur and his scummy underlings.”

Tch…Tch…Tch…Tch…

Countless people were teleported to Jiaojiao’s side by the King’s Order, filling the land before her in an instant. However, Jiaojiao’s King’s Order was badly positioned. Since she was standing at the edge of the canyon and the empty spots had been filled, there were those who dropped off the canyon immediately after they teleported over, dying instantly…

“The f*ck? Why am I dead?”

Numerous people grumbled.

“Brothers, CHARGE…”

Jiaojiao brandished her greatsword as she led her bloodthirsty ten million-strong army into the Southern Continent…

Back at the Southern Continent, once he was informed of Jiaojiao’s actions, he immediately gathered his citizens to repel the onslaught by using the National Channel.

“This is a matter of pride and glory. Friends, sharpen your talons and get ready to fight!”

“Let’s do it! I can no longer stand Dark Wing’s acts of bullying!”

“Me too!”

“Coordinates: 2313312: 121133. I am Amber Sword Heart, let us gather here at the outskirts of the Southern Continent!”

Amber Sword Heart poured out his emotions within the National Channel.

When Jiaojiao and her army had finally reached the outskirts of the Southern Continent, Amber Sword Heart had already amassed 3,000,000 players to defend their nation.

Jiaojiao slapped Crimson Emperor Warhorse’s head and it let out a bloodcurdling shriek. At that instant, the players of the Southern Continents that were mounted involuntarily made way for Jiaojiao. Only the minority that held Epic-level Mounts were unaffected.

“KILL THEM—”

Jiaojiao pointed her greatsword in front of her, and like a torrent of water, her army surged forward…

The cries of battle shook the heavens!
