Reincarnation Of The Strongest Sword God

Chapter 1026 – Fighting the Ten Royal Powers

Elise’s words stunned all those who heard her, especially Garuda.

Tier 7 players!

This would be a very unfamiliar term for players who had never ventured beyond their respective Greater God’s Domains. However, those who had entered the wider Hundred Race Battlefield would know a little about Tier 7 players. Even so, most chosen ones would never get to associate with Tier 7 players.

This was because Tier 7 players were unreachable existences. Even joining a Guild with a Tier 7 player was extremely difficult, let alone coming into contact with one.

Shi Feng was nothing more than an up-and-coming genius from the human race. He wasn’t even qualified to participate in the Hundred Race Battlefield. Yet, Garuda was now being told that Shi Feng was a Tier 7 player…

Impossible! How can he be Tier 7?!

Garuda’s eyes turned bloodshot when he saw Shi Feng killing Fist Emperor effortlessly, his mind filled with madness, shock, and doubt. However, despite his refusal to believe Elise’s words, deep down in his heart, he understood it.

With Ancestral Transformation active, Fist Emperor was not an existence Tier 6 players could kill, much less with ease. Shi Feng did not rely on any convoluted techniques or overwhelming force. All he did was perform an attack so fast that not even Fist Emperor—after becoming a Tier 7 Lifeform—could react.

Besides Shi Feng being one of the legendary Tier 7 players, Garuda could think of no other explanation for this situation.

…

“Dammit! How can he be Tier 7?!”

On the other side, Daystar’s mind also fell into disarray after she used a Peak Identification Skill on Shi Feng.

Daystar knew Shi Feng well. She was one of the earliest Holy Race players to butt heads with Shi Feng. However, although he could already be considered an expert back then, he was nowhere near the top.

Yet, she was now being told that Shi Feng had already been promoted to Tier 7. How could she possibly believe this?

“Tier 7?! Are you sure you’re not mistaken, Daystar?!” Morning Echo whispered. “Even those three imperial powers haven’t had a new Tier 7 player appear in their midst in a century! How can someone with barely any information on this matter reach Tier 7?!”

For chosen ones like themselves, reaching Tier 7 was their lifelong dream. However, even the core members of the three imperial powers had less than a one-in-a-million chance of reaching Tier 7, let alone other players.

“There’s no mistaking it. My Peak Identification Skill can see through the concealment of even Divine Artifacts,” Daystar said, shaking her head. Then, she looked at Shi Feng in the distance with a complicated look and continued, “He is indeed a bona fide Tier 7 player.”

Daystar had already learned how difficult it was to reach Tier 7 through the Hundred Race Battlefield. The fact that the Hundred Race Battlefield had only three imperial powers proved this.

“What should we do now? Should we continue dealing with Elise and besieging the Twilight Fortress?” Morning Echo asked, growing hesitant after hearing Daystar’s confirmation.

The imperial powers’ commission was of utmost importance. It decided whether they could get promoted to elite members. As for the Twilight Fortress, it was the key to obtaining Level 250-plus Fragmented Divine Artifact Forging Designs, something that could greatly impact the current war among the three races.

“Have everyone retreat,” Daystar sighed. “We stand no chance against a Tier 7 player.

“Retreat? Why should we retreat?” Tyrant Claw suddenly said. Staring at Shi Feng, he added greedily, “He might have reached Tier 7, but he should have gotten promoted only recently. He hasn’t even gotten his weapons and equipment sorted. This is our chance! Despite not having the backing of an imperial power, he managed to reach Tier 7! He must have a huge secret! So long as we kill him, we might get this secret! Are you willing to simply abandon such a golden opportunity?!”

Tyrant Claw’s words caused Daystar and Morning Echo to fall into thought, evidently tempted by his words.

It was true that Shi Feng was a Tier 7 player. However, Shi Feng’s current opponent wasn’t limited to just the few of them but over ten million elite experts from the Holy Race’s royal powers. With such a force, they’d stand a chance against even a bona fide Primordial God, let alone a Tier 7 player.

“Let’s do it!” Daystar gritted her teeth, her gaze becoming firm. “Inform all royal powers to deploy all their Epic Siege Weapons! Do not hold anything back! So long as we can kill Black Flame and obtain his secret to reaching Tier 7, the Holy Race will be the fourth race in the Hundred Race Battlefield to birth an imperial power! We’ll stand at the top of God’s Domain!”

“I’ll contact the other powers immediately,” Morning Echo said, excited by the future Daystar described.

…

On the other side, the majority of the players in the Twilight Fortress were also stunned by how Shi Feng managed to kill Fist Emperor so swiftly. They never imagined that Fist Emperor, one of the Holy Race’s Five Absolute Chosen Ones, would die to Shi Feng.

“Guild Leader, what have you been up to during this period?! How did you get so strong?! Even that Fist Emperor couldn’t last more than a few moves against you! You’re practically stronger than Elise!” Hidden Soul asked, looking at Shi Feng in amazement.

Lunar River agreed with Hidden Soul’s sentiment, and she couldn’t help but scrutinize Shi Feng. She felt like she was meeting him for the first time again.

Fist Emperor was a sixth-floor expert equipped with the Skyquake Set. He was nigh-invincible among the three races. Under normal circumstances, multiple experts of equal caliber would be needed to kill him. Yet, Shi Feng had eliminated Fist Emperor and his true doppelgangers with what was essentially one attack. This was simply unbelievable.

“It’s nothing. I went to a Promotion Land and was lucky enough to advance to Tier 7,” Shi Feng replied truthfully to Hidden Soul’s barrage of questions.

“Tier 7?” Red Frost looked at Shi Feng as if he were a monster.

Nobody from the three races had managed to advance to Tier 7 thus far. To human experts, Tier 7 might as well be an unattainable myth. Yet, Shi Feng had somehow reached it?

Before Hidden Soul and the others could ask more questions, ten colossal machines suddenly approached the Twilight Fortress from a distance. The appearance of each machine struck fear into the players in the fortress.

“Are you kidding me? Ten Epic Siege Weapons? How are we supposed to defend against this?”

The various powers’ experts were shocked as they stared at the ten colossal machines hovering in the sky.

Normally, even one Epic Siege Weapon was enough to destroy a Holy City. If an Epic Siege Weapon was utilized without regard for cost, it could even force Divine Set users into a temporary retreat in fear of a permanent death.

A force of ten Epic Siege Weapons was likely enough to sweep the entire Eternal Realm.

“It seems the Holy Race is determined to capture the fortress this time,” Shi Feng said, similarly astonished as he looked at the ten colossal machines floating in the sky.

“Guild Leader Black Flame, why don’t we retreat for now?” Lunar River whispered, looking at the ten Epic Siege Weapons powering up for an all-out attack. “If it’s only to seize the fortress, they wouldn’t need to utilize their Epic Siege Weapons’ strongest attacks, let alone attack with all ten Epic Siege Weapons simultaneously. They are likely doing so to deal with you.”

“Just because I’ve only recently been promoted and my equipment is still lagging, they think this is the perfect opportunity to deal with me?” As Shi Feng watched the ten Epic Siege Weapons charging up their attacks, his eyes burned with fighting spirit. “I have yet to go all out after advancing to Tier 7, so let me try my hand on you!”
