MMO: Pierce Heaven Til’ It Breaks

Tower of Remorse.

Floor 51, Floor 52, Floor 53… Floor 58!

The underground scorpion cave!

Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut was stood right at the entrance. After rubbing the white ring on her right hand, a moment later, the white ring started to glow.

“Teleport!”

“Tchh——”

Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s body turned into a flash of white light, disappearing from the place she stood. The next moment, she reappeared at the innermost part of the cave, right in front of the Nine-Tailed Scorpion King.

The Seven-tailed and Eight-tailed Scorpions created by Li Yi and The Cat that Sings’ shenanigans all bared their fangs as they charged at Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut. Before she could even move, she was one-shot by the scorpion brigade…

The white ring’s glow on her finger also suddenly faded away.

Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut lied there on the ground, not moving for a long time…

…

Aersith was back.

However, she still had not found a way to destroy the Four Major Elemental Shrines. She had failed.

The demon full-scale war will officially start in two more days.

Aersith was extremely depressed. She was now stuck between a rock and a hard place.

In the end, Aersith did not stay beside Li Yi, she chose to leave alone.

She decided to help neither party, voluntarily disavowing her relationship with Li Yi as mercenaries. In solitude, she left with no direction in mind,

Thinking back to the past life, when the demon full-scale war started, Aersith had also went missing in action. Then, just a while after that, Pantheon Mystery’s pre-expansion event Wings of the Sky was officially released.

In this life, would it be the same?

Li Yi was not sure.

Word had spread that the Demonic Tribe was about to launch a full-scale war. This was information not only Li Yi knew. In fact, recently, there had been a lot of Demonic Tribe mobs who were appearing suspiciously around the players’ major cities. With abnormalities like that, how could players not notice something was going on?

“The demonic beasts are about to invade, everyone, make your preparations! Repair the arrow towers, repair the city walls, make traps!”

Soon, word of the Demonic Tribe’s actions have spread all throughout the Pantheon Continent.

Two days later, the demon full-scale war had officially begun. Tens of billions of demon soldiers flooded through the entrance of the Foreignlands. The Three zhuman Heroes were at the frontlines, but were killed by the attacking demonic forces. The defences at the Abyssal Canyon Crevice completely crumbled as the demonic army continued their crusade to the four major continents.

Ever since the Demonic Invasion expansion pack was released, the Three Human Heroes had died hundreds of times. However, all of this did not matter. The three of them had Immortal Bodies, no matter how much they were killed, they would never truly die.

As for the players of the four continents, they had long prepared their iron defences. Out of the four of them, the Ninth Continent and the Invincible Continent had the best defences. The two of them had similar tactics, when the demonic beasts set foot on their lands, they would unleash their “God-summoning Scrolls”.

With two “God-summoning Scrolls”, it was already enough to completely eradicate the incoming demonic forces. However, since the Assembled Gods Continent did not have any of said scrolls, with their large amount of nations dispersed throughout their lands, their defences shattered against the demon army’s attacks.

Although the continents were already unified, the Assembled Gods Continent players had always not been supportive of Brother Windcloud Nine being the Emperor of the Continent. Hence, Brother Windcloud Nine was also not fond of them. Thus, he did not send aid to the nations on the Assembled Gods Continent.

As the Emperor of the Continent, as long as he ensured that at least two of the continents did not fall, he did not have to worry about being demoted.

The North Pole Continent was also attacked, but the demonic beasts still had not been able to break through the Starting Point City. Similarly, they were stopped by a single “God-summoning Scroll”.

This is where the all three “God-summoning Scrolls” that Li Yi had gotten from the scorpion cave finally came to use.

As the demonic army suffered countless casualties, by the end of the first day of the invasion, the system announced that the Ninth Continent and the Invincible Continent had successfully stopped the demonic invasion, and that all players who were online during the invasion would be rewarded with amazing reward. As for the Assembled Gods Continent, they were completely and utterly destroyed. As punishment, their taxes were increased by 50%.

Successfully stopping demonic beasts attacking the city gave players a bountiful reward. With enough the National Glory Points, players could request for some legendary equipment from the national quartermaster, some of which had equivalent stats to the Ancient King Equipment Set.

This type of massive demonic beast invasion events was already extremely rare. To players who did not have good equipment, this was the perfect time to grind for equipment and levels. With all these mobs mindlessly charging over, just imagine how much time players could save without the hassle of gathering the mobs!

On the second day of the demon full-scale war, Li Yi did not stay at a major city. He went into the Foreignlands alone.

The Starting Point City had an intimidating Spirit Imperial Guards defending it, so he had nothing to worry about. On the other hand, the Ninth Continent and the Invincible Continent had already finished up their defensive preparations long ago, even without him doing anything, they could still easily defeat the incoming demonic army.

The criteria for ending this demon full-scale war was not difficult. All players had to do was to sneak into the Demon God Castle and defeat Genghis once more.

However, compared to last time, the difficulty was definitely a bit higher. This was because the foreignland now constantly spawns endless amounts of demonic beasts in the billions. Even if the Thief class could use Stealth, they still would not be able to reach the Demon God Castle without startling any demonic beasts on the way.

Brute force through?

That was even more impossible. For every demonic beast killed, two more would spawn. Even if a player just stood at the same spot mindlessly massacring demonic beasts, the player would get nowhere even if they spent the entire day killing demonic beasts.

Li Yi’s method was very special, since in King of Pantheon, he seemed to be the only person who could do this.

He stripped off his own equipment down to only his Novice Boxers and unleashed his Light Territory at the gates of the Foreignlands. When his territory’s light started to envelop the area, he used teleport to fly inside.

Since he was not wearing any equipment, the instance he entered, he immediately died. Then he resurrected on the spot, continuing to unleash his Light Territory as he flew forward.

This method was absurdly stupid, but since he was the only person with a completed Sacramental Stone, who else could dare to use this method?

After around ten times of this, the number of demonic beasts started to decrease. Li Yi resurrected once again and re-equipped his equipment as he dealt with all the mobs nearby.

As he progressed forward, there was another wave of demonic beasts. Seeing this situation, Li Yi went offline.

The surface of the Sacramental Stone already had traces of cracks, a sign that he could no longer use it anymore. Hence, he took a temporary break as he waited for the Sacramental Stone to recharge, before continuing his invasion.

In his past life, he remembered that there were some players who set out a bounty. If anyone manages to get into the Demon God Castle at this point of time, they would be given an item of their choice.

Without a completed Sacramental Stone, if players just relied on the Holy Light Talisman, they might not have even been able to pass through the entrance of the Foreignlands, much less the Demon God Castle.

After Li Yi went offline, he went over to Jiaojiao and Qian’er’s rooms and watched them killing demonic beasts.

Starting Point City also had a quartermaster. As residents of Starting Point City, killing demonic beasts also awarded them with National Glory Points. At this point, Jiaojiao and Qian’er lacked equipment. Now that they had the opportunity, how would they just let it slip?

“KILLKILLKILLKILLKILL…”

Jiaojiao dragged her great sword as she ran all over the place. Countless demonic beasts had died by her blade.

Qian’er was even more OP, as she spammed Raging Firestorm on the field. They were a five-man party. Fire Ice and Little Elf from the Magical Realm were the healers, The Cat that Sings and Jiaojiao were in charge of aggro-ing the creeps, whereas she was the main DPS>

“Divine Flames’ Descent!”

Qian’er’s body slowly flew up into the sky. With both her hands up and her long hair in the wind, she looked as if she had gone berserk. Everything below her had instantly been engulfed in a sea of flames…
