Doomsday Online: Supreme Blessing

Chapter 165: Boundary Breaking Talisman! Undercurrent!

Chen Lingfeng and company exhausted everything they had; some released skills, wanting to isolate the domain’s effects. Others—with weapons in hand—ruthlessly hacked at the dense spider silk on the ground, wanting to destroy the domain.

However, they were wide-eyed the next moment; their bodies were stiff because the crisis was much more than these things…

Indescribable, dreamlike murmurs indistinctly sounded by their ears! It sounded as if someone was sleep-talking and chanting beside them.

A strange force struck as though it sought to drag them into infinite dreams.

Before their eyes, distorted spider shadows also appeared; it was unknown whether it was their imagination or reality.

“No, don’t come here!” Chen Lingfeng’s eyes turned bloodshot. The streaks of blood stood out, making him seem fearful and restless.

This was his first time encountering such a strange situation. He could only swing the longsword in his hand constantly, driving away the spider shadows that aroused his infinite fear.

The sound of wind breaking was ceaseless. The radiance of every skill bloomed, but the spider shadow before him wasn’t affected in the slightest; it still closed in at every step.

And in Link and the others’ field of vision, it looked as if Chen Lingfeng had gone mad—he was striking at the air.

A pitch-black spider shadow—which crawled out from Luo Haoyue’s shadow—had soundlessly moved behind him.

The eight slender and sharp chelicerae were like eight blades. They quietly folded in, leaving behind pitch-black afterimages in the air.

The next moment, crimson blood and body parts splattered; there was only a pile of broken limbs and minced flesh on the ground!

The remaining four people’s states were nearly the same as that of Chen Lingfeng—everyone was struggling on the edge of death.

Luo Haoyue had already transformed into the God of Evil’s heir. Such powers of madness and aberration were something Chen Lingfeng and company couldn’t resist. After all, this was the first time they encountered it.

Presently, even Xue Linglong and the others—who weren’t the attack’s targets—had turned several hints paler. They were slightly affected by the ravings and pollution.

Zhao Yongkang was even frowning. Such a profane and strange aura had evoked unpleasant memories in him.

“Leave one alive,” Link ordered coolly.

Luo Haoyue chuckled. “As you wish.”

Soon, the spider shadows that crawled out of her shadow returned to it. But after devouring four humans’ flesh and blood, their bodies had indistinctly grown bigger.

The last spider shadow even brought a man—who was solidly tied up with spider silk—to the front of Link and company.

“Speak, what exactly did that Jiang Wencheng get you people to do?” asked Link.

However, that remaining survivor looked full of terror. He constantly shouted, and there was absolutely no way of communicating.

Link felt a little helpless. This was the only con of Luo Haoyue’s ability; it caused one to fall into madness and fear too easily…

He summoned six-winged Angel Yuna and got Yuna to dispel the effects of mental pollution for this captive first.

Waves of holy light bloomed. Under Yuna’s [Holy Light Purification], the captured Wang Hao finally broke free from the frightening imagination and illusion.

“Confess your motives; otherwise, you will experience something even more frightening than what you encountered earlier,” Luo Haoyue warned calmly.

Wang Hao was about to wet his pants! Everything he had encountered earlier had left him in utter despair. He was still trembling all over right now; he didn’t want to experience such things again.

At this very moment, he simply felt regret in his heart, unparalleled regret…

If they had known that a Stage Five powerhouse was in this team, they absolutely wouldn’t have dared to be so impudent and arrogant. However, the universe had millions of different types of medicines—all types except for regret medicine!

Before long, Wang Hao had spilled everything he knew.

It turned out that, since the various forces didn’t have the key to open the historical ruin, the various forces had to wait for the person carrying the key to appear after they had gathered at the Forest of Darkness.

But subsequently, the people of Evil Sect brought out a [Boundary Breaking Talisman].

It was said that this [Boundary Breaking Talisman] could break open the protective ward outside of the historical ruin and that one could enter the ruin without the key.

However, a powerhouse above the Star-rank was needed to launch this [Boundary Breaking Talisman].

If a Star-rank powerhouse wished to launch it, they would need to gather the strength of many people. These people would have the strength in their bodies drained instantly, falling into a long period of weakness.

In the situation where the wolves were waiting, there naturally weren’t any Star-rank powerhouse willing to sacrifice their strength and let their bodies turn weak.

Hence, after a discussion between the various forces’ top powerhouses, they decided to use an array formation recorded in the ancient books.

They would use a large number of Stage Four and Stage Three powerhouses as the array’s base to gather power and use it to launch the [Boundary Breaking Talisman]. This would fulfill their aim.

But this array carried a massive risk; it could be said that the people used as the base would very likely face death.

Stage Four and Stage Three powerhouses were also the various cities’ backbone. The various forces didn’t wish to lose too much of their combat capabilities. Hence, they dispatched people to search everywhere.

Wang Hao’s party of five had been following the instructions of Ancient Martial Alliance’s Star-rank powerhouse, Jiang Wen Cheng. They were to come to Unfallen City and search for [Doomsday Online] players—this was why they met Link and company.

After learning the whole story, Zhao Yongkang and the others’ countenances all turned grimmer.

None of those big forces were good, but this was the natural state of the apocalyptic world. Bloodiness and brutality were normal.

Link—who had lived two lifetimes as a human—didn’t have much to feel emotional about. He merely searched for information regarding the Ancient Martial Alliance and Evil Sect in his mind.

Previously, Unfallen City had also sent people to gather intelligence in the wilderness. However, the main objective was still to consolidate the people exiled in the wilderness.

Among the information sent back, they only knew that the people of Quicksand City, Huge Deer City, and Sword Weapon City had set their sights on the Epochal Ruins.

Unexpectedly, there were also Ancient Martial Alliance, Evil Sect, and other forces involved.

According to the memories of Link’s previous life, Ancient Martial Alliance and Evil Sect could be considered the Chinese land’s top forces.

In the early stages of the apocalypse, these two forces rose swiftly and abruptly; they even controlled more than one human home city. Their knowledge and resources were deep-rooted. So much so that even the Temple of Light from the same period was inferior when compared to them.

However, the Undead Scourge wasn’t all there was to the apocalypse. As crises arrived again and again, many human home cities that originally stood tall were destroyed.

Finally, they were left with only a few cities and the five major cities that could be called the super home cities.

The Temple of Light, with ample reserve strength, occupied one of them.

People from the Ancient Martial Alliance and Evil Sect? No wonder they are so confident, wanting to enter the historical ruin forcefully. It’s becoming more and more interesting, Link thought inwardly, and he led everyone to continue heading toward the Forest of Darkness.

As for the Stage Five powerhouse called Jiang Wencheng, Link also had an impression of him. However, it wasn’t because of this person’s future accomplishments.

In reality, although Jiang Wencheng had a glorious moment now since he was an illustrious Stage Five powerhouse, his potential was lacking. He was completely unable to contest with the heroes of the later generations.

So much so that his radiance was completely concealed in the era where the stars were bright and heroes came to the forefront, becoming utterly dull.

The reason why Link had an impression of him was that the one who killed this person in the future was a person strong enough to rank among the top 100 powerhouses in the human alliance!

It was unknown whether he could encounter this person this time, so Link slightly anticipated this…
