Chapter 208 - 143: The First in the Eternal Night Continent?
The cliff face exploded.
Countless rock fragments and dust flew everywhere.
When everything settled down.
A deep pit over ten meters deep had appeared in the cliff face.
The commotion startled those busy in the cave. Qi Yue, the first to rush out, froze on the spot upon seeing the scene, his eyes wide with horror.
He knew just how sturdy this cliff face was.
After comprehending his Swordsmanship, he had only barely been able to carve the two words "Chen Fan" into the rock. And now, this cannon turret he had never seen before had blasted a deep pit over ten meters deep with a single shot?
’If that had hit me...’
He couldn’t help but shiver.
’I probably wouldn’t have survived.’
...
"..."
Chen Fan stared at the scene before him, silent for a long time. If a Ghost King were to appear right now, this one shot would be enough to show it what a Godslaying Cannon was.
’This thing is really used for slaying gods.’
With one shot...
Martial Kings, Ghost Kings—they’d all die.
’Time to test it on a Level 3 City Wall.’
He built another three-meter-wide Level 3 City Wall and placed it in the open area of the Celestial Pit. The Level 3 City Wall had always been the standard; his Jade Staff granted him defensive effects equivalent to one.
The next moment—
The Level 10 Godslaying Cannon aimed at the newly built Level 3 City Wall.
The crimson orb of light blasted out again.
"BOOM!"
This time, everyone saw it clearly. The Level 3 City Wall shattered in an instant, turning into a cloud of stone fragments and dust.
When the dust settled...
Where was the Level 3 City Wall? There was only another large crater in the ground.
"Are Level 3 City Walls this weak?"
Qi Yue murmured to himself. In his memory, Level 3 City Walls had always been strong. For example, the Hidden City, the pride of the Sheep Race, was made entirely of Level 3 City Walls.
That city was indeed worthy of their pride.
But...
Why did he suddenly feel that Level 3 City Walls were actually quite fragile, shattering at the slightest touch?
...
"Hoo..."
Chen Fan let out a light breath and once again took out the Jade Scroll he had obtained from the Ancient Ruins. He sent his consciousness inside to take a closer look.
The scene of the great battle at the Jiangbei Defense Line during Ancient Times appeared before his eyes again.
In the vision, he could faintly see a large number of cannon turrets installed on the City Wall, many of which were Godslaying Cannons. He had obtained the blueprint from the Immortal Celestial Master, so of course the man would have built these turrets.
’But...’
’Why are all the Godslaying Cannons on the City Wall Level 6?’
’There isn’t even a single Level 7 one.’
’Upgrading to Level 7 doesn’t require any special materials, only Ghost Stones. If they didn’t have enough Ghost Stones, they could have just upgraded a few, right? Wouldn’t upgrading three or four to deal with the bosses in the Ghost Tide have been better?’
’Or were there other factors at play?’
He didn’t know the specifics of what had happened back then.
But he was sure of one thing.
Which was...
The "Undersea Ghost Tide Landing" battle in four years might need to be renamed. It would be the "Mortal Realm’s Territorial Expansion" war.
’As long as I have enough Ghost Stones.’
’I’ll place a Level 10 Godslaying Cannon at set intervals along the Jiangbei Defense Line, then fill the gaps with a large number of Low Level turrets to clear the small fry.’
’Who could possibly break through?’
...
Chen Fan looked at the green Exotic Treasure in his hand. This was the green Exotic Treasure he received as a reward for unlocking his first Max Level Building in the codex.
-
「Exotic Treasure Name」: Yun Shao.
「Exotic Treasure Level」: Green.
「Exotic Treasure Effect」: After blowing the whistle, your luck is slightly enhanced for three breaths. A one-time use Exotic Treasure.
-
A familiar Exotic Treasure.
He had gotten one before.
Without hesitation.
He quickly blew the whistle. The moment the sound emerged, the whistle shattered into a pale green, liquid light that coiled around him, slightly boosting his luck.
Immediately after—
He quickly slammed the Enhancement Stone he had just acquired onto the City Wall beneath him.
He then consumed 1,000 Ghost Stones to upgrade this one-meter section of Level 3 City Wall directly to Level 4!
A panel popped up before him.
-
「City Wall upgraded to Level 4. Hardness increased.」
「Please select an Upgrade Direction.」
「1: Gain a slow self-repair ability, equivalent to one-fifth of the Vine Pattern’s effect.」
「2: Enhanced intimidation. To living creatures, this City Wall will feel more menacing.」
「3: Undergone Qualitative Change: Obtain a random qualitative change direction of a higher grade (Ordinary).」
-
The next moment—
Before Chen Fan could react.
The panel began to change rapidly.
「Initiating qualitative change.」
「Qualitative change complete.」
「Undergone Qualitative Change: Obtain a random qualitative change direction of a higher grade (Rare).」
「Initiating qualitative change.」
「Qualitative change complete.」
「Undergone Qualitative Change: Obtain a random qualitative change direction of a higher grade (Excellent).」
「Initiating qualitative change.」
「Qualitative change complete.」
「Undergone Qualitative Change (Great Wall): All City Walls connected to this one will gain this effect. The City Wall can now move freely within the camp’s boundaries like a long dragon (Legendary).」
"..."
Chen Fan stood there, his face expressionless and silent. He suddenly felt that the synergy between the two Exotic Treasures, the Yun Shao and the Enhancement Stone, was a little too powerful.
If the Upgrade Direction gained from the Enhancement Stone happened to be...
Undergone Qualitative Change: Obtain a random qualitative change direction of a higher grade (Ordinary).
...then within the three breaths of enhanced luck, a situation like this could occur, continuously upgrading until a "Legendary" qualitative change appeared. This was the first time he had ever seen an Upgrade Direction of this level.
’As for this effect...’
"Qi Yue."
He turned his head to the dumbfounded Qi Yue and said, "Let’s spar."
"Huh?"
Qi Yue was startled awake. Although he didn’t know what had happened, he still subconsciously shook his head and said, "Domain Lord, you’re an Architect, and I..."
