MMO: Pierce Heaven Til’ It Breaks

The Gryphon Paladin Team, the second boss of the Light Conference, was incredibly difficult to beat. It required the overall teamwork and perfect chemistry among the players. Not one mistake was allowed to be made. This Instance Dungeon has been released for two months long and remained undefeated by all teams that had attempted so far.

The instances of Light and Darkness were different from those in the Pinnacle of Fire. Until now, only Light Conference was open to players among all dungeons in the Light and Darkness Instances. The four other large-sized Instance Dungeon were still locked and inaccessible. They would only be unlocked one by one after the players had defeated the Light Conference.

The Light Conference Instance Dungeon alone was enough to get the players tangled up in it for three months…

Day and night, all players of the King of Pantheon had only one thought in their mind—to complete the Light Conference and unlock the next dungeon.

Assembled Gods, the guild where Amber Sword Heart belonged, had already passed the Gryphon Paladin Team. The same can be said to Night Moon’s Reigning the World and the team where Defiantly Tyrannical was at. However, no signs of activity were seen from the Iron Alliance, the top influence of the Invincible Continent.

Even if Li Yi was unbothered by this kind of news, his subordinates were already buzzing with tension. No one dared to act on their own volition without his orders though.

“There’s no need to rush. How’s the practice on combos going along? At this point, everyone should be able to do at least five combos in a row, right? Great, make an announcement to get all the elites of the Iron Alliance to gather at the Giant Ant Plain. From today onwards, let’s level up together!”

“Wh-What… What? Level up?” Pretty Good Mood simply could not believe what he was hearing. After all, there were only three Bosses in the Light Conference, and two other guilds have managed to defeat two of them. They only have one Boss left now.

They would miss the First Kill achievement if they continued to drag their progress on.

“The guild, our guild has always been in the leading spot, and it’s precisely because of this that many businesses pay more attention to us. That’s where we get our advertisements, sponsorships, and other business opportunities. However, if we were to lose the First Kill of the Light Conference…” Pretty Good Mood could not bring himself to finish his sentence.

“Our image will be affected negatively and the companies will lose interest in us, right?” Li Yi laughed.

“Go and do what I just told you to do. You’ll understand everything soon enough.”

Pretty Good Mood sighed before he went off to organize the guild. “Ah, alright.”

After five days of continuously leveling up, Li Yi had already lost count of how many Giant Ants that he had killed. The only thing he knew was that within the short five day period, he had already reached Level 85!

Level 85!

Lonely Semi City, who had been killing those Dark Elementals in the dark passage, had only reached Level 81. Within such a short period of time, Li Yi had overtaken him by four levels.

Giant Ant Plain was definitely a for leveling up!

Of course, that was only applicable to Li Yi. Any other ordinary players who wanted to level up here would probably fail to even clear one wave of the Giant Ants. Only Li Yi had the courage to drop into the area to level up even when he was faced with unending waves of Giant Ants.

As he reached Level 85 and became five levels higher than the highest level Giant Ant in the area, Li Yi found that the EXP that he could gain here has decreased by half.

Once again, it was time for him to switch location.

All of the elites of the Iron Alliance had arrived at the Giant Ant Plain. Li Yi had already stopped leveling up then. He passed the Walkthrough Guide of Levelling in the Giant Ant Plain which he had been working for the past few days to Pretty Good Mood.

“Categorize and assign the classes here into teams according to this walkthrough. Also, no matter who it is, their equipment must be above Level 120. Otherwise, they would cause the entire team to be annihilated.”

“What about Pale Blue? Her level was high enough, but all her equipment did not even reach Level 70.”

“You’ll take care of her then. On top of that, you can also call a guy named Fang Jie over. His case can be accomodated…”

Li Yi was never an official of righteous integrity. It was only to normal for him to utilize his influence for his own agenda.

With the walkthrough in hand, Pretty Good Mood went off to assign the elites into groups.

The walkthrough that Li Yi wrote was extremely detailed. With the knowledge of the skilled players of his previous life combined with his own observations and findings, this walkthrough was good enough to be called a classic among its own kind.

The Giant Ant Plain was a map within the Invincible Continent, and by the edge of the map was a summoning stone that could get more teammates over at any time. This had brought significant convenience to those who had to return to the city to collect the relevant EXP Buffs.

Almost everyone from the Iron Alliance including the core members such as Nirvana Inaction has arrived. Their equipment had no problem with their upcoming fight, but their levels were slightly less satisfying. The highest level found among them was below Level 75, miles away from Li Yi’s.

Now, even Jiaojiao was on par with them.

They must level up, or else it was destined for them to be crushed by the third Boss in the Light Conference.

Pretty Good Mood distributed the manpower following Li Yi’s walkthrough. Initially, most of them were unfamiliar with the procedure, so they were killed repeatedly. When they finally got the hang of it, the efficiency of their levelling shot up immediately.

The continuous rush of the Giant Ants allowed no room for all of them to breathe. Similarly, the EXP they obtained was unending once they started to engage in the battle.

“Group 1, rest. Group 2, take over. Group 3, standby. Group 4, continue forward to open up the wasteland. Group 5, prepare to reinforce when required…”

Pretty Good Mood stood on Scarab King’s back and shouted his orders to the groups.

After he had tamed this powerful Scarab King, Pretty Good Mood could be considered as a semi-skilled player already. He could only be a semi-skilled one, though. A few days prior to this, he went to Chen Yang for a PK. He was instantaneously killed by Chen Yang even before he could touch him. Later on, he went to Unending Unmatched and Wang Wang Dumplings too, but both instances had resulted in him being killed instantaneously as well…

Pretty Good Mood had gone through over a dozen opponents, yet his success rate was still 0.

When Pretty Good Mood was leading the elites to level up in the Giant Ant Plain with all his might, Li Yi was already on the road again. The densely packed Giant Ants no longer attracted him when he found that the EXP he would gain had been decreased by half.

Mermaid Princess swam happily in the water at full speed, and she was already as quick as any of the top flying mounts available in the market.

It was as quick as lightning!

“Quick, go quicker, go with all your might, Little Mermaid! Show me your true capabilities!”

Whoosh, whoosh!

Mermaid Princess’s beautiful fishtail vibrated fiercely after that. Its frequency had been increased to the peak. Li Yi could not even straighten his back when he sat on her back. The resistance was too great, and he could only eliminate some of it by bending down and practically glue himself to her back.

Level 85 was far from enough, and it did not achieve the ideal goal in Li Yi’s heart. Thus, he wanted to level up again!

This time, he chose the location for leveling up at the Level 90 underwater map Sea’s Palace. His target of attack? The ocean clan of Naga!

The Naga who was active in the area around the Sea God’s Palace was much more than the number of murlocs in the Underwater Remnants. The lowest level among them would be Level 90 and the highest was Level 100. It was the one map where players could quickly level themselves up from Level 90 to Level 100.

Since Li Yi came here to level up five levels earlier, the EXP he could obtain would have a 10% increase. Consequently, the difficulty had also increased significantly. After all, the players that came here to level up would mostly don a T2 set. Those who did not have a T2 Set would wear a mixed of legendary equipment that was similarly powerful. None of them would wear only a T1 set and some legendary equipment and came to such a dangerous map like how he did.

“Stop!” Li Yi called out to stop the Mermaid Princess when they were about to reach the Sea God’s Temple.

“Fernando… Is he still alive?” The Mermaid Princess mumbled to herself. Her eyes shone with a flash of blazing anger.

Li Yi chortled. “Little Mermaid, are you going to issue a quest? Come, I’ll take it.”

Mermaid Princess shook her head.

Li Yi leapt down from Mermaid Princess’ back and allowed her to move around by herself. Then, he went to rummage around and finally found his target under a rock.

It was a crab with giant pincers that was bigger than any ordinary human.

[Giant Pincer Crab (Ordinary), Level 80, 80000 HP. Skilled in melee attacks, average SPD.]

Li Yi used Capture on the Giant Pincer Crab.

He had four pets with him. They were the Mutated Small Wild Boar, the Explosive Ape, Violent Bear King, and the Lightning Leopard. Originally, the Archers could carry only five pets with them. However, after he had unlocked the Pet Path’s Innate Ability, the maximum number of pets he could carry with him became ten.

Currently, all pets that Li Yi carry were very similar because they all travelled on land. He did not have pets that flew in the sky or swam in the water. He had been trying to catch a few legendary pets but never managed to find a good target. Now that he was in Sea God’s Palace, he had caught an ordinary pet just to enter the Naga Altar.

“Chaha! Chaha! Chahai!”

“Chacha! Cha-ck!”

“Igo!”

“Chacha hai…”

When Li Yi was capturing the Giant Pincer Crab, growls of the Naga were heard from the Sea God’s Palace.

Fernando the Siren was training drills with the Naga Army.

A person who has never learned Nagaese would never understand what they were talking about. However, Li Yi was different. He already knew Nagaese, so he could understand everything that the Nagas were talking.

The ‘Chaha Chahai’ that the Nagas kept shouting was equivalent to the chants of ‘1, 2, 3, 4’ in the human language. On the other hand, Fernando’s shout of ‘Igo’ has the meaning of go. The world of the Sirens, like the human world, was not very stable either. It was categorized into several different camps. The camps would go into war every few days, and their fights and attacks would never stop.

3%… 6%… 15%… 65%… 86%… Whack!

Li Yi’s hands glowed in red light as he cast Capture onto the Giant Pincer Crab over and over again. He never expected this Giant Pincer Crab to be one of an unyielding temperament. It was still not captured even after over thirty attempts.

“Even the Violent Bear King and the Lightning Leopard had already been captured by me. Is there any point for you to struggle? Come here!”

Li Yi cursed a few times. He did not stop the casting with his hands as he continued to use Capture.

1%… Whack!

2%… Whack!

1%… Whack!

Li Yi was so furious after three consecutive failures that he hauled the Murloc Crossbow to shoot maniacally at the Giant Pincer Crab, killing it instantly.

He could spend his time capturing legendary pets, but it would be strange to not kill an ordinary weak pet who dared to even fight against him.

“Master, what are you doing?” Mermaid Princess swam to Li Yi’s side with her swishing fishtail.

‘Master’ was the title that Li Yi has set for the Mermaid Princess to address him. However, even though their Affinity was no longer a problem, it was still rare for the Little Mermaid to address him as ‘Master.’

Li Yi toyed with the wavy hair of the Mermaid Princess and sighed. “I’m trying to capture a pet. We’re going to level up at a specific place around here. We could swim in there with your speed, but it will be difficult to escape the detection of the Nagas.”

Obediently, the Mermaid Princess swam up to Li Yi and shook her snow white buttocks. “Get up,” she said gently.

Li Yi scrambled up. The Mermaid Princess moved on her own volition and began their journey quickly with him on her back.

“Little Mermaid, where are you taking me?”

“I’ve been here before. I know a place that has a very powerful hidden monster. You’ll definitely love it once you’ve seen it.”

Li Yi was slightly stunned.

He only knew that the Mermaid Princess knew how to Treasure Hunt, but he never knew that she could also Monster Hunt.

The Mermaid Princess turned left and right and somehow managed to actually bypass the Naga Army that was drilling in the Sea God’s Palace. She then arrived at a sinister water city that was populated with reefs.

“Stop, don’t swim forward anymore. There’s too many reefs around. Be careful, they might scrape you.”

Li Yi jumped down as the Mermaid Princess turned back to look at him. Her Affinity towards him shot up by 10000 points…

“That monster was hidden somewhere in front of us. It’s inside a big, white shell.”

Li Yi nodded and Dismissed the Mermaid Princess. He summoned the Deep-red Seahorse instead.

A high-level mount possesses intelligence and thus shall never be offended. However, a low-level mount like the Deep-red Seahorse that acted upon its instincts would not cause these concerns to the player.

Li Yi went on his way riding the Deep-red Seahorse and soon saw the big white shell that the Mermaid Princess mentioned.

“Ah, so she was referring to this!” Li Yi’s face brightened up happily.
