"Hey!
"Thief, take this spear!"
When Ji Ye logged on again and was still being condensed in the center of the altar, he suddenly heard a roar and saw a black spear flying close to him like a crazy black serpent, as if it was going to pierce and destroy everything in its way!
"Huh?"
Ji Ye suddenly raised his eyebrows.
The black spear was only 1. 8 meters tall at first, but it expanded continuously as it flew on.
Two meters, three meters, five meters... The black spear that looked like a demonic serpent almost consumed Ji Ye. It was so intimidating that he had goosebumps all over his body even though he was Transcendent Rank-5!
It was astonishingly fast too. As a result, the black spear penetrated Ji Ye's body after it had just been condensed and couldn't move yet.
Well, it literally penetrated through him.
When the spear that looked like a black serpent hit Ji Ye, it simply passed through him as if it were in a different space. Then, it raged on towards the other end of the altar behind Ji Ye, where a dark mountain with thousands of ghosts on it stood!
Old Demon Black Mountain!
The black mountain was obviously the original self of Old Demon Black Mountain.
After it turned into spoils, Ji Ye had taken it back to Dragon City as a Black Mountain Stone to make up for the insufficiency in city defenses!
Was it possible that Old Demon Black Mountain had the ability to clone itself like the green Flood Dragon and that it had cunningly pretended to be killed so that its original body would be taken to the headquarters of Dragon City and cause trouble when Ji Ye logged off?
Furthermore, due to the heavy losses in the previous battles, Dragon City couldn't resist Old Demon Black Mountain, and it had marched to the critical altar area?
Naturally, such a possibility was highly unlikely.
Even though Old Demon Black Mountain was a mildly famous villain, it was not really popular and couldn't even compare to Granny Tree Demon who was a special hermaphrodite. The heroes of Dragon City could stop it even if it was Transcendent Rank-3, and it couldn't have reached the heartland of Dragon City.
The battle that was going on clearly should be a ritual to summon a hero, and Old Demon Black Mountain was the illusion of the offering that it had dropped.
Before Ji Ye logged off, he had asked Elder Meng and the others to initiate rituals without waiting for him to come back.
Now that he was back online, he happened to be in the test battlefield that the Transcendent offering created. The black spear obviously belonged to the hero that was about to arrive!
Whoosh!
After passing through Ji Ye, the serpent-like spear had expanded to a hundred meters long and hit the Black Mountain that was hundreds of meters high like the weapon of a god.
Then, a boundless and intimidating aura swept out crazily after the collision!
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!"
Because of the intimidating aura, the thousands of ghosts who had expressionless faces were obviously scared.
As if they were hit by fiery meteorites, their armor that was made of ghostly vibe decayed like ragged cloth, revealing the gray and black skulls in them.
After that, their bones were shattered by the enormous intimating vibe too. One second later, both their bones and their armor exploded into a mass of black aura!
Boom!
Not just the thousands of ghosts, even the Black Mountain which was hundreds of meters high was completely crumbled by the spear even though it was so sturdy that it could resist a nuclear attack in a way!
"Such an intimidating aura, such a weapon, and such words... The identity of this hero is rather obvious!"
Old Demon Black Mountain had only dropped an Excellent offering, but after Ji Ye's fusions, it had turned Transcendent Rank-3 Perfect.
[Black Mountain Ghost King Armor]
[Level: Transcendent Rank-3]
[Rarity: Perfect (offering)]
[Description: A piece of Transcendent armor made of Old Demon Black Mountain and its five thousand ghost soldiers. It has the ability to summon ghosts to fight in a battle. Only the unparalleled generals who have been through hundreds of battles can subdue it!]
The offering, just like Lin Chong's Holy Fire Faith Crystal and Yan Qing's Pure Blue Glass Heart, had special demands on the heroes that took it.
Because of the tremendous soul power and hatred inside the offering, nobody could endure the offering unless they had relentlessly killed countless men on a battlefield.
When Ji Ye turned around, he saw a hero in black armor on the opposite side of the battlefield. He was tall, brawny, and had dark skin. His eyes were threatening even though his face was still vague.
He could impress anyone as a "demon king".
Obviously, he was a top hero!
"Roarrrr!"
The remaining soul power of Old Demon Black Mountain, whose body had been crumbled by the spear, rose to the sky and formed a miserable ghastly face that covered a hundred square meters and charged at the black-armored hero with a creepy wind that could reduce steel into powder!
For the remaining soul of Old Demon Black Mountain in the offering that had been activated by the power of providence, it was clearly the last chance to stay in the "divine realm".
Even though this black-armored human was quite strong, he had just thrown out his weapon.
It should be able to fight him now that he was empty-handed. If it defeated the hero and proved its value, maybe the people of Dragon City would use the offering it formed as a Transcendent treasure, and it would have a chance to rise again someday!
Faced with Old Demon Black Mountain that was coming close with an overwhelming black storm as a ghost king, the black-armored hero didn't dodge at all even though his spear was gone.
There was despise in the big round eyes on his vague face. When Old Demon Black Mountain's ghost face arrived with the black clouds, he finally opened his mouth and inhaled.
Whoosh!
A level-ten wind was raging on the battlefield.
The air within a radius of several dozens of meters was absorbed!
"Hey!"
He rumbled, and the entire Dragon City seemed to be shaking under his roar.
"Hey, hey, hey..."
The deafening soundwaves crashed into the charging Old Demon Black Mountain like an invisible tornado.
Both the ghost face that covered a hundred square meters and the boundless black storms were vanquished in the rising soundwaves!
Eventually, they turned into a black fog and then condensed on the black-armored hero, forming a piece of strange armor that had a ghost king engraved to the chest and patterns of soldiers all over the armor.
"This armor looks good, but it's too fragile!"
When the battlefield was closed, the black-armored hero revealed his real appearance.
He looked at the Ghost King Armor on his body and mumbled, but his voice sounded as loud as a clap of thunder in Ji Ye's ears!
"General Yide1, if you're dissatisfied, I can craft another piece of armor for you someday, " Ji Ye said to Zhang Fei.
Yes, Zhang Fei!
Nobody except this tough general from the Three Kingdoms used such a spear as his weapon or could've killed Old Demon Black Mountain with one roar.
[Zhang Fei]
[Level: Transcendent Rank-3]
[Rarity: Quasi Boss]
[Description: One of the Five Tiger Generals of Shu in Three Kingdoms, and one of the 64 Generals enshrined in the Tang Martial Temple. He is so strong that he can easily decapitate the commander amidst thousands of enemies!]
The appearances of the heroes condensed on the Land of Inheritance were mostly based on people's general impressions. According to historians, Zhang Fei should have looked more like a scholar, but on the Land of Inheritance, Zhang Fei appeared as a typical brawny warrior that everybody thought him to be.
"Hey, it's a deal.
"However, this armor isn't a big deal. I don't like wearing armor in battles. It would be great if you can build a handy spear for me, City Master!
"Right, not just me, there's also..."
After his arrival, Zhang Fei, who was apparently impatient, looked in another direction in the altar earnestly after a brief conversation with Ji Ye!
Dragon City's nine-level altar was quite huge.
Also, after the settlement core became Transcendent, it could be moved within a certain range.
Therefore, the ritual wasn't for Zhang Fei alone. A lot of offerings were activated at the same time.
In the direction that Zhang Fei was looking at, a huge tide was rising, and an enormous Colorful Flood Dragon was raging inside the tide and roaring furiously!
"Roar!"
After it roared, threads appeared on the Colorful Flood Dragon, and each of the threads was connected to an Extraordinary mermaid. There were ten thousand of them in total.
It was exactly the Colorful Dragon Threads, the offering that the green Flood Dragon dropped!
The green Flood Dragon had Transcendent Rank-5 combat ability for a while.
Therefore, it was possible that this offering, like the yakshas' seed of providence, could summon a Legendary hero!
But of course, it was just a possibility.
Whether or not the summoning would be successful depended on the response of the Legendary heroes!
After all, the green Flood Dragon didn't really become a True Dragon, and the item was technically just a "Quasi Legendary" offering.
"Roar!"
The twin Dragons of Providence activated the Soul of Civilization.
The Transcendent Soul of Civilization, which had silver flames burning inside, was silent for a few seconds after the Transcendent power of providence entered.
Then, it suddenly emanated orange light!
"It's... the Legendary level!
"All personnel below the Transcendent level, leave the range of the altar!"
Seeing that, Elder Meng and Su Nongying, who were hosting the ritual, immediately said.
Unlike the Transcendent rituals, the Legendary rituals could affect people outside of the battlefield during the test.
Of course, it was impossible for the remaining soul of the green Flood Dragon to really hurt those who were protected by the power of providence!
However, the green Flood Dragon was too strong, and it was highly aggressive and hostile towards the people of Dragon City.
Even if its destructive damage was blocked by the power of providence, the intimidating vibe that it released would still be too much to bear for the ordinary players and even the Extraordinary non-combatants!
Hum!
The Soul of Civilization that emitted orange light began to transform from bottom to top. What appeared first was an unparalleled horse whose furs were as red as blood and whose eyes were like glittering eyes.
However, the warrior on the horse was slightly weird. He was entirely shrouded in vague clouds and didn't show any features.
"Who's that?"
"The offering is a dragon, and the hero is Legendary. He must be one of the emperors!"
"Weird, why are there no poetic announcements?"
The players, who had retreated to the edge of the altar, were slightly confused after the initial excitement of witnessing the arrival of a Legendary hero.
It was because unlike when Cao Cao arrived, they didn't hear any poetic announcement that revealed this Legendary hero's identity!
"Is it possible that this Legendary hero is not confident of defeating this green Flood Dragon, so he's unwilling to reveal his identity?"
That had happened before.
The Legendary heroes were all famous and popular.
However, they were still not the same.
Take Gongsun Sheng and Wu Song for example. While both of them were qualified to use Extraordinary Perfect offerings, Gongsun Sheng was technically a figure that was between "Superior" and "Perfect", whereas Wu Song was one of the best even among those who were rated Extraordinary Perfect.
For that reason, it was very easy for Wu Song to pass the test, whereas Gongsun Sheng only managed to pass it after a brutal battle.
Also, the green Flood Dragon was a dragon and had a high combat ability in its tier. It was also boosted by ten thousand mermaids. A normal Legendary hero wouldn't really be confident in defeating it!
