MMO: Pierce Heaven Til’ It Breaks

“I really slept for three days?”

“Uh-huh…”

“I really slept for three days?”

“Uh-huh…”

“I…”

Li Yi kept asking, and the answer he got left him speechless. He was indeed unconscious for three days in the Void Dimension.

‘Do I have to sleep for seventy-two hours to become a demigod? No reason for that…’

Regardless of whether or not Li Yi was willing, he had been in a coma for three days and had been cared for by Jiaojiao and the women.

Thunder God’s Heart! Demigod!

Li Yi asked the women to return to their rooms and rest. Later, he logged on to the official page to check for relevant information.

The King of Pantheon was a revolutionary virtual reality online game that utilized brain waves to allow players to connect with one another. To protect the players, a player could always choose to forcibly exit the game at any time and any place.

The effects of sleeping in-game were the same as that of reality. If one used it in combination with the Nourishment Chamber, the player could go on forever.

Whether he was in a vegetative state or otherwise, the player would always be conscious, hence there was no such thing as loss of consciousness within the game.

“No such thing as loss of consciousness within the game?”

Li Yi was completely speechless.

The official website had clarified that fading into unconsciousness was impossible.

What about his coma?

How had he fallen unconscious?

For three days, he did not feel anything at all. Three days passed right after he closed his eyes.

“God, demigod.”

Li Yi entered keywords in the official page’s search bar, and the search result took only 0.1 seconds to load.

A demigod, proficient at using Divine Power and able to cast a few Divine Spells, so far there were no players strong enough to achieve such godly status. The downside to being a demigod was the lengthy casting time of Divine Spells.

A god, on the other hand, enjoyed unlimited Divine Power and is capable of using many exclusive Divine Spells. The spells were instant and had no casting time. However, time was still needed to cast more powerful Divine Spells.

The difference between a demigod and a god was described in the official page.

However, what annoyed him was that there was no mention of how to use Divine Power…

The Death God had mentioned that he had been successfully promoted to a demigod, but he had no idea how to use his newly acquired Divine Power. There had been no noticeable change in his Attribute Panel.

To unleash Territory Power, one only needed to think about it since the power was inherent. Divine Power, however, was different. He could not trigger it no matter how much he chanted.

‘Was the Death God mistaken? Maybe I haven’t become a demigod?’

Li Yi could not find the answer and inevitably started to grow doubtful.

He searched for more than an hour but found nothing. He had no choice but to give up.

When he clicked into the forums, he saw the news that Starting Point City had been destroyed by the Winged Ones, who were led by Bai Xiaoya.

“The city was ruined?”

His heart sank.

Li Yi had been in a coma for three days and knew nothing about what happened in the world. Anger was written on his face as soon as saw the news.

There were quite a few posts on the forums that questioned Li Yi, accusing him of being a coward. They stated that he had not confronted Bai Xiaoya as he was too afraid of losing.

Li Yi found them both funny and annoying.

He surfed further for a while before he hurriedly took the headset controller and entered the Pantheon World.

He had to see for himself how serious the damage to Starting Point City was.

When he returned to the city and saw it in ruins, his face took on an extremely somber expression.

Starting Point City had been completely destroyed. Rebuilding would not be done even after a month or two. However, that was irrelevant. Li Yi was well off and could afford tens of millions in reconstruction costs.

The real problem was that the rare NPCs from all over the world that he had worked so hard to please. They were all gone!

Starting Point was a young city. Originally there had only been one NPC, the fat penguin. The rest of the NPCs had immigrated due to the efforts of Li Yi, Jiaojiao and others running around the world.

Those NPCs were not natives. If they died and respawned, they would automatically return to their original location. In other words, they would not be respawned in Starting Point City.

Six months of hard work had been wasted, could Li Yi even feel any better?

“Bai Xiaoya!”

Li Yi clenched his fists in fury. This time, he was absolutely furious.

“Moonlight, the Winged Ruler has returned to Sky Island! Sh*t’s powerful! Can’t hold out much longer!”

“Brothers, I request your aid in the defense of the Island! We must hold it, do not give in!”

“Moonlight’s a tough boss, just one attack and tens of thousands of us died…”

A sudden commotion broke out in the World Channel.

Li Yi glanced the Channel and teleported to Sky Island.

Multiple factors played a part in Brother Windcloud Nine and Chen Yang’s conquest of Sky Island. One was the fire attack that had killed off at least half of the WInged Ones’ population and they had not yet respawned. The other was the most significant factor— the Winged Ruler had not shown up.

As the strongest boss before the release of ‘Pantheon Mystery’, Moonlight was a force to be reckoned with. Its sudden appearance had killed more than 50,000 players instantly, almost all the players around the Winged Ones’ Mother Tree.

The players responsible for guarding the Sky Island could not hold out and were requesting support on the World Channel.

By the time Li Yi got to Sky Island, there was no one there. Moonlight, using only its own power, had defeated all the players on the Island.

Subsequently, Spirit Wing Karian was resurrected, as well as the Sky Priest, Karina. As the siblings chanted the incantation for their resurrection spell, countless Winged One souls turned into eggs that hatched immediately, at a speed invisible to the naked eye, successfully completing their rebirth process.

One thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million…

In a flash, the Sky Island was completely occupied by the reborn Winged Ones.

“Squawk!”

“Kill the invaders!”

“The Winged Ones cannot die; they are the divines’ darlings!”

The situation had greatly shifted, and the players who had originally held the advantage were beaten and scattered.

Brother Windcloud Nine and Chen Yang called for a counterattack, but circumstances had changed. Against an army of more than 10 million Winged Ones, they stood no chance of winning.

“Men of the allied forces, follow me and attack Savage City!”

The situation grew even more out of control when Bai Xiaoya, who had not dared to come online for the past few days, suddenly appeared. She was leading a group of White Winged Ones and heading straight for the Celestial Capital of the Savage Continent.

She intended to destroy Chen Yang’s hometown!

“Roar—”

Just as Bai Xiaoya flew over the ravines and abysses to reach the skies of the Savage Continent, Li Yi rode Onyxia and stood in her way.

“Hahaha! Dark Wing, this time, you’re dead!”

Bai Xiaoya gestured, and more than 10,000 White Winged Ones raised their bows and fired arrows toward Li Yi simultaneously.

Onyxia drew in a deep breath for three seconds.

3, 2, 1!

Li Yi did not try to evade. As the arrows approached, Onyxia had drawn in enough breath and abruptly exhaled.

The burning hot Dragon’s Breath melted the arrows and struck the White Winged Ones’ formation. Thousands of Winged Ones had their wings set on fire. They shrieked as they fell to the ground.

The wings of the Winged Ones were weak toward flames, and Onyxia’s breath was their nemesis!

“True Overlord Arrow!”

“Woosh—”

Li Yi pulled the bowstring and released a Flaming Phoenix.

It was even more terrifying than Onyxia’s breath. The perpetually burning flames of the phoenix reached the Winged Ones and waves after waves of damage numbers floated above their heads.

Li Yi’s attack was terrifying. The damage caused by the phoenix was based on his ATK. It was only natural that the power was overwhelming.

Dragon’s Breath and the Flaming Phoenix killed more than 10,000 White Winged Ones. They could hardly fight back.

Bai Xiaoya was crafty. She rode a White Winged One and retreated to the rear. There were several players from the Fluttering Snow Alliance who were not afraid of Li Yi and they urged their mounts forward.

The first to conquer the 100-floored Tower of Remorse, the Knock-off King Black Wing, led the charged.

“Territory— Hundred Miles Frozen!”

Black Wing released his Frost Territory into the air. After a period of training, his Territory Skill had evolved from Ten Miles Frozen to Hundred Miles Frozen. Both its area of effect and its strength had increased.

“Dark Wing, my Territory Rank is now 10! Can you stop me?” Black Wing cried.

“Territory Release!”

The bitter cold air spread like a dark cloud. Li Yi did not evade, releasing his Chrono Territory while on Onyxia’s back.

There was a downside to releasing a Territory light barrier, any movement would halt the process. It would only be completely released if the player remained completely still.

When the player moved, the light barrier would follow very slowly. This was a major drawback of Territory Power. Within the Territory, he would be invincible and unstoppable, but outside the Territory, he was a mere mortal.

As Li Yi’s Territory expanded, Black Wing’s chilling frost stopped.

Li Yi’s Territory Rank was 17, how could he be afraid of Black Wing?

“Invincible Territory, release!”

Seeing that Black Wing’s attack was halted, Drifting Snow joined the battle, his body shook as he released his light barrier.

He had grown more powerful again. The guy’s luck was so good that he now knew how to release a Territory.

The pale white of his Invincible Territory extended, but Li Yi had no problem dealing with both of them.

Drifting Snow was only 6 in Territory Rank, a tiny fraction of Li Yi’s. To put it more bluntly, Li Yi could easily get rid of him with just a finger.

“Tssss—”

Three different barriers collided into each other. Li Yi’s Chrono Territory was more effective than the duo’s Territory. Eventually, the two were enveloped by his Chrono Territory.

The Frost Territory stopped, the Invincible Territory shrinking. Only Li Yi’s Chrono Territory stood strong and unwavering.

Li Yi accelerated time and drained all of Drifting Snow and Black Wing’s Territory Power. Although doing so consumed a lot of his own power, he did not care.

“Meteor Arrow!”

“Wham! Wham! Wham! Wham!”

After four arrows, Black Wing and Drifting Snow were slain…
