Monsters Are Coming

Even if the Player Corps charges forward fearlessly and endlessly, they cannot harm the foundation of the Giant Domain; the gap is too large to be bridged by numbers.

Even with the Combat Insect Clan and the Black Tide under the control of the Earth Thought Evil Spirit, it is still not an opponent after the guidance deduction.

It is certain that after the Earth Thought Evil Spirit investigates the intelligence clearly, it will temporarily give up the idea of devouring the Giant Domain.

The Combat Insect Clan, Horror Black Tide, and Player Corps can easily challenge formidable enemies of all types by joining forces, but even tier-skipping challenges have limits.

The combined forces of the Newbie Village still have a significant combat strength gap compared to the Giant Domain.

The players don’t mind; if they die, they just reset and try again.

The Combat Insect Clan doesn’t mind either; they’re either in battle or on the way to battle, and the Insect Warriors are expendable, with the bigwig insects providing real-time support from behind.

Horror Black Tide doesn’t mind either; in front of the Horror Black Tide, the Giant Domain is but a trivial force.

But the Earth Thought Evil Spirit only has one chance.

Daring to challenge the Giant Domain will most likely result in being swept away in one wave.

Choosing to gather intelligence first was a very wise decision by the Earth Thought Evil Spirit.

According to the guidance analysis, the route of eastward expansion of the Earth Thought Evil Spirit might be cut off after encountering the Giant Domain.

It will likely proceed towards the Colorful Mist Coast, meaning westward expansion, to open up new domains.

Without paying too much attention, Qi Sheng’s consciousness at this moment shifts to the direction of the sea near the Colorful Mist Coast.

Colorful Mist Coast, Ascension Sea.

This is a sea shrouded in storms, located east of the Bright Star Sea Area and where the islands of the Ascension Clan are located.

At the center of the sea, oily black clouds, like a giant curtain, press heavily towards the sea surface, as if to swallow the entire sea.

Between the clouds, electric serpents run rampant, illuminating the tumultuous wave crests below like blades flashing with cold light.

The waves, like a legion of demons awakened from the abyss, collide and merge with an overwhelming force, creating walls of white surf several tens of meters high.

Vortices constantly form on the sea surface, greedily swallowing everything around, forming huge funnels, the seawater swirling madly within, making a roaring sound.

Countless figures maneuver vehicles through the waves in the sea.

Sailboats, swimmers, battleships... all sorts of vehicles carry players longing for the Shuyan Warriors, heading into the depths of the sea.

The sea breeze brushes the rolling wave crests, shaving a layer off the top, turning into pervasive water vapor, blending with the mist.

The area shrouded in mist is precisely the players’ destination this time.

Compared to raising pets personally, many players want the customizable Shuyan Warriors more.

Catching a Shuyan Warrior would mean stepping into the ranks of top players.

This is considered a shortcut for growth by many players.

In the eyes of lone wolf players, the Shuyan Warrior is a powerful companion that can help them easily hunt above their level.

For team players, the Shuyan Warrior is a unit that can fill any weak point.

It can be a damage tank, an output magic system, or function support... a single Shuyan Warrior can fill any gap in a team.

This is also why Shuyan Warriors are favored by countless players.

With the pet function online, Shuyan Warriors can be purified and brought back to the Imperial Tomb Village space, turning into items available in the Trading House.

The minimum price for a Shuyan Warrior reached 180,000 sacrificial power, meaning instant wealth if you catch one.

There is a well-known player with a Shuyan on the forum.

A pinned statement on his personal homepage is a true reflection of players wanting to capture Shuyan Warriors:

Squatting in the Shuyan Domain for three whole days, as the dying Shuyan Warrior fell before me, my drowsiness instantly cleared, feeling my blood boiling in my veins, my heart pounding like a drum, every nerve screaming joy and ecstasy, knowing it is my prey, my trophy, my glory, an unspeakable sense of achievement fills my mind, and every recollection of it fascinates me, making every wait worth it.

...

Players wanting to capture Shuyan Warriors are all inwardly hoping for a surprise to come.

Like gold prospectors, they might end up with nothing or perhaps be favored by fate.

The Shuyan Warriors are also a stepping stone for top guilds, with full benefits from the major guilds allowing for abundant choices.

At this time, within the Shuyan Domain.

The great battle continues.

The cultivators are dressed in a robe flowing with divine light, surrounded by Spirit Essence, like gods descending from the nine days above.

On the other side, the Ascension Clan warriors are enveloped in colorful light, with layers of elemental ripples spreading from their bodies.

On the battlefield, the light of spells and Elemental Power intertwine, and the roaring sounds are deafening.

The sky’s residual clouds are battered to pieces by the various powerful forces, revealing a sky reflecting in dazzling colors.

The earth becomes scarred with deep pits and cracks in this fierce battle, with previously flat ground now heavily scarred.

Both sides advance and retreat, unwilling to yield to each other.

The great battle seems never-ending, with the entire heaven and earth drawn into the collision of war.

In terms of combat strength, the cultivators generated by Shuyan are at an absolute disadvantage.

But relying on the power granted by temporarily modifying the rules through Shuyan, they can always turn the tide even in a desperate situation; key characters simply cannot be killed.

Even when the Ascension Clan warriors seem sure to deliver a fatal blow, it can be nullified the next second due to some reason.

For instance, spatial rifts suddenly tearing open, swallowing the Elemental Power unleashed by the Ascension Clan warriors.

Through on-the-spot hacks, the cultivators under Shuyan’s control, although at a disadvantage, can tenaciously resist the fierce offensives of the Ascension Clan.
