MMO: Pierce Heaven Til' It Breaks

“Abyss-ripping Windstorm!”

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s body spun quickly, but before he could even reach Li Yi, Li Yi’s Quintuple Powered-up Arrow had already finished gathering, shooting straight for the blue tornado mercilessly.

[−272133]

Although the red damage figures did not break a million, he still managed to kill Tyrant Sword King the Fifth with one hit, no problem.

Bai Xiaoya stood there without moving, staring at Li Yi expressionlessly. She was the main brains behind the Fluttering Snow Alliance, so she knew perfectly well that she would not be able to defeat the monster before her.

He could casually deal several hundred thousands in damage, and he killed more than three thousand people as though he was taking a stroll in the park. How could she possibly fight a monster like that?

“Hahahaha, Bai Chatterbox, weren’t you all high and mighty just now? Why’re you so quiet now?” Defiantly Tyrannical could not help but taunt her as he lay on the ground, reveling in the schadenfreude.

Bai Xiaoya smiled slightly. “What about you? Are you any better off than I am? The Three Major Guild Alliance’s reputation has hit rock bottom, Guild Master Tyrannical, but I wonder whose fault that is?”

Bai Xiaoya’s words hit Defiantly Tyrannical’s sore spot, and he swore loudly, “Get the f*ck out!”

“Hahahahaha…” Bai Xiaoya laughed gleefully.

Li Yi walked up to Bai Xiaoya, raised his Orange Quality Bow, and aimed at her.

“Zzzzip!”

The Meteor Arrow made straight for Bai Xiaoya’s face. Although she was wearing a veil, Li Yi still chose to aim for her mouth.

Such a nasty mouth deserved a beating!

“Swoosh— Bam!”

Just as the Meteor Arrow was about to hit Bai Xiaoya, her body suddenly vanished and the Meteor Arrow went right past, embedding itself into the ground instead.

This was the work of the Fifth Piece of Sacramental Stone Fragment, Instantaneous Log Off…

No wonder she did not panic when she saw Li Yi at all. She had come prepared.

Holding the Orange Quality Bow in his hand, Li Yi found himself feeling slightly dejected.

Defiantly Tyrannical burst into laughter again. “Hahaha…”

Be it Li Yi or Bai Xiaoya, he considered both of them his enemies. That was why he enjoyed seeing either side suffer.

Defiant Xiaoxiao stood up and ran to Li Yi, grabbing his arm intimately and shaking it back and forth. “Brother Dark Wing, did you come here just to save me?”

“Stay away from him, Lil Sis! Do you hear me?”

In his desperation, Defiantly Tyrannical resurrected and stood back up, but Li Yi simply shot an arrow at him and put him down again.

“You motherf*cking piece of dogsh*t!” Defiantly Tyrannical spat out a long string of expletives.

Li Yi laughed. “I’ll kill you every time you stand up. Wanna try?”

Defiantly Tyrannical had done everything he could to try and trip Li Yi up, and Li Yi was no saint. He remembered those who helped him, but he also remembered those who tried to harm him.

“Brother Dark Wing, how could you… do that to my brother?”

Li Yi broke free from Defiant Xiaoxiao’s grip and darted into the teleportation door as quickly as he could.

Defiant Xiaoxiao was famous for being clingy and spoiled, so if she decided to stick to him, there would be no end to it. Li Yi could not stand people like that, so every time he saw Defiant Xiaoxiao, he would try to avoid her.

Defiant Xiaoxiao stomped her foot angrily and vented all her fury on Defiantly Tyrannical. “It’s all your fault, Big Bro! Now Brother Dark Wing’s ignoring me.”

“My fault? Do you know him all that well? I’m your blood-related brother here, how could you help an outsider and not me?”

“I don’t care, I don’t care! It’s all your fault, your fault, your fault! You have to make it up to me, make it up to meee.”

Defiant Xiaoxiao threw a tantrum, stomping her feet. However, she had forgotten that this was the Dragonbone Waste Teleportation Door, and the Southern Continent players who Li Yi had just killed were still here.

Several dozen large fireballs crashed toward him and knocked Defiant Xiaoxiao flat on her back.

Defiant Xiaoxiao was practically wailing in fury, whining Defiantly Tyrannical’s ear off. “Sob… It’s all your fault, your fault! I’m gonna tell Mom you bullied me, I hate you, I hate you…”

“What the f*c… What does it got to do with me?”

“I don’t care, it’s your fault, don’t argue with me!”

…

The video of Li Yi killing three thousand people at once was soon uploaded to the official forum, and the uproar that ensued was similar to the one that exploded when the new version was launched. King of Pantheon had been running for two years now, and many powerhouses could take one ten or a hundred opponents alone, but not one could fight a thousand by themselves.

In King of Pantheon, each class had at least one crowd control skill, such as the Paladin’s Repentance, the Curse Priest’s Prison Spell, or the Wizard’s Sheep Transformation Spell. These were all powerful Control Skills.

When facing several hundred players with Control Skills without Territory Power, fighting hundreds at once would only get one controlled, controlled again, and controlled again until they died…

Before Territories appeared, any player who could fight ten others alone would be considered a powerhouse. The only ones who could take on a hundred or a thousand were almost all Wizards.

The reason for that was simple. Wizards had skills that dealt the most damage across the widest area. When sieging a city, a casual Blizzard Spell could easily lead to a combo of fifty hits.

It would not be wrong to say that the appearance of Territory Power was way beyond anything the players knew before.

“This isn’t fair!”

“Territory my *ss! F*ck you, he killed several thousand with one hit! What do you take the rest of us normal players for, toys?”

“F*ck, my equipment sucks but I got loads of Control Skills, so I could at least team up with my friends to kill my enemies before. But now? Just look at that monster! It’s clear that even if I bring a few thousand friends with me, I’d still have a snowball’s chance in hell of killing him!”

“I demand that you cancel Territories, or else I’ll quit the game forever!”

“Cancel it, cancel it!”

It was only natural that players who had yet to learn Territory Power grew envious. The uproar was one thing, but immediately after that, an objection petition signed by ten million players appeared in the official forums.

If the officials did not Territory Power, they swore to leave the game for real!

The gap was just too big. Dark Wing was like a god, and compared to him, many players believed that they could never achieve his level in this lifetime.

The most important part about playing a game was the enjoyment of it, but what was fun about being tortured by another?

Right now, tens of millions of players were banding together and denouncing Territories on the Pantheon official site, and it was still ongoing…

Unlike the previous few times, this time, the Pantheon developers immediately made their stance clear. They posted a Dev Corner post to explain the matter, but all it included was one sentence: “Remember, this game is called King of Pantheon!”

The game was not about becoming king or starting empires, it was to become the king of all gods, the one at the very top. How could a king of all gods be compared to mere mortals?

The Pantheon developers’ stance was surprisingly forceful.

In truth, they should not be blamed. After all, their initial aim when developing this game was to demonstrate the difference between gods and mortals.

If someone had to be blamed, it could only be one person: he who traveled back into the past and relived this life, Li Yi. He used his experience from the past life to drastically reduce the game’s natural progression, demonstrating Territory Power way ahead of schedule.

On the third day of the objection against Territories, tens of millions of players strong, another player who had mastered Territories appeared before the crowd.

The Phoenix Archer from the previous life, Drifting Snow, stumbled across a treasure chest while doing quests in the Northern Continent. When he opened it, he found a Pantheon Ruins Teleportation Scroll inside.

The part people envied the most about Drifting Snow was not his gaming skills, but his ridiculous luck. He could hatch a Divine Pet, the Phoenix, from a single Mysterious Egg. He could obtain an Epic Mount from a single Ruler of God’s Gift Pack. If it was just once or twice, that was one thing, but these things happened to him time and time again.

He somehow managed to obtain a Pantheon Ruins Teleportation Scroll from a treasure chest. That level of luck was unbelievable, no?

After all, the famous Master Treasure Looter, Chen Yang, had been looting treasure chests for two years straight, but he had never seen anything as precious as the Pantheon Ruins Teleportation Scroll.

Drifting Snow searched the Pantheon Ruins for three days before he successfully learned Territory Power. At the same time, he also picked up a very special Territory Skill.

Having learned the Territory Skill, Drifting Snow was over the moon. He immediately returned to the Invincible Continent and caused large-scale destruction to the major cities under the Iron Alliance’s control. It was thanks to the havoc he wreaked that all eyes turned away from Li Yi and to him instead.

That was because the powers he demonstrated were even more ridiculous than Li Yi’s…

The Divine Bird Phoenix was gone, so Drifting Snow’s siege rate had dropped drastically, but his unique Territory Skill was extremely powerful. No matter how many people attacked him, none of them could deal any damage to him at all.

Drifting Snow’s Territory Skill had a very awe-inspiring name: Absolute Invincibility!

Every attack that landed on Drifting Snow’s body was rendered ineffective. Thousands of people tried to surround him, but he just had to shake his head, and his body would become translucent. After that… No one could stand in his way anymore. When translucent, he could walk through anything he pleased, including, of course, human bodies.

Even if he activated his Territory, Drifting Snow’s ATK only rose by 1.5 times. It was not much of an increase, so it took him a long time to destroy buildings. After spending around a dozen hours, he still had not managed to demolish a city. It could not compare to when he had the Divine Bird Phoenix.

However, no one could hurt him, so he could destroy whatever he pleased. Destroying a building while being attacked by tens of thousands was pretty satisfying in itself.

The video of Drifting Snow destroying buildings was uploaded to the official site, and it caused another stir. That was when players finally knew that Li Yi was not the only monster out there.

Drifting Snow only destroyed the buildings when Li Yi had logged off to sleep, which just went to show that even armed with Absolute Invincibility, he was still extremely scared of Li Yi.

The Iron Alliance’s number one main tank and a Territory Master, Unending Unmatched made it to the scene and began to fight Drifting Snow.

What happened next shocked everyone. Drifting Snow turned translucent, and even when Unending Unmatched activated his Territory, he still could not hit Drifting Snow.

Drifting Snow chased Unending Unmatched around with his arrows. If Unending Unmatched did not have an army of healers behind him, he would have been shot the ground for sure.

Territories were useless too, and Drifting Snow remained invincible…

You could not hit him, but he could hit you. How was that a fair fight?

“How do I Kill This Monster?”

“Absolute Invincibility, F*ck Me…”

“I’M PISSED!!!!”

“I’ll Marry Anyone Who Can Kill Drifting Snow!”

The official forums went off the wall again…
