Chapter 301: Chapter 41: Resurrection and Sealed Resurrection, An Epic Level Combination (Part 2)

A pale violet energy surged in his palm, flowing along an invisible thread. It pierced the boundary between life and death, precisely locking onto the Evil Dragon Jinli’s remaining one-third of his Original Soul.

As another 20% of his Maximum Life Value drained away, a black light erupted in the air. The familiar, sky-blotting shadow coalesced once more as the Evil Dragon Jinli was dragged back from his temporary demise into the mortal world.

The newly resurrected Evil Dragon Jinli was still reeling from the excruciating pain of his soul Tearing, his crimson eyes filled with terror and disbelief.

It didn’t even have time to let out a full roar. It could only instinctively swing its colossal body, attempting to replicate its previous escape route.

"First volley!"

Qin Feng’s command was as crisp as ever. Before the words had even faded, a dense Arrow Rain poured down again like a black storm, precisely striking the Evil Dragon Jinli’s not-yet-fully-stabilized body.

The Plague Poison on the arrowheads spread instantly. The million stacks of poison accumulated even faster than before, and the Evil Dragon Jinli’s health bar dropped at a visible rate.

It struggled frantically, its massive tail lashing the air and instantly kicking up a fierce Gale, yet it had no room to even try to dodge.

Soon, the Evil Dragon Jinli’s health bar was once again pushed down to Qin Feng’s preset execution threshold.

And Qin Feng didn’t waste any time. His gaze was sharp as a blade as he smoothly nocked and drew his bow in one fluid motion. The arrowheads of his Triple Shot tore through the air with a piercing whistle, directly penetrating the Evil Dragon Jinli’s vitals.

With another shrill cry of agony, the Evil Dragon Jinli’s enormous body lost all support and plummeted toward the ground. Then, just as before, it disintegrated and evaporated in mid-air, vanishing completely.

Qin Feng remained standing in the same spot, the hem of his clothes still dusted from the battle. His gaze, however, was as calm as a deep pool as he quietly watched the direction where the Evil Dragon Jinli had completely vanished.

His Adam’s apple bobbed slightly. His low voice, carrying an almost imperceptible hint of confirmation, sounded softly in the wind:

"This time... it should be completely over, right?"

The words had barely left his lips when, before he could think any further, a familiar pale blue screen of light suddenly appeared. A system notification materialized right on cue, clearly displaying the final result before him.

[You have killed "Jinli (Abyssal Evil Dragon)." Under the influence of the Power of Authority from "Eye of the Hunter," the target has lost all of his Original Soul. He can no longer be resurrected by any means and will be completely erased from all worlds!]

[The battle has ended!]

[You have received a reward of 200 Dragon Crystals!]

"It’s done."

Qin Feng gazed at the system notifications, the weight in his heart finally lifting.

This time, it was really over.

He sighed to himself. ’This Abyssal Evil Dragon named Jinli was clearly the strongest enemy I’ve ever faced, yet the speed at which he was eliminated was actually faster than any opponent before.’

Lost in thought, he took out the 200 Dragon Crystals he had just obtained. He rubbed the cool crystals between his fingertips and began to count them silently.

Adding the 200 from the two previous kills of the Evil Dragon Jinli and Flame Emperor Galukasa, plus the 100-plus he had left over, the total number of Dragon Crystals in his hand was now quite substantial.

’Should I upgrade "Recruit Prisoners" and "Middle-earth Warhammer" first?’

’See what new Talents I can unlock, and maybe check out their Level 100 effects?’

His fingers paused, and a new thought surfaced:

’Or should I wait until I’ve saved up 1,000 Dragon Crystals and then unlock the "Sword and Saber Weapon Pack from the Otherworld" in the "Bloodthirsty" information panel?’

After a moment’s hesitation, he added another thought:

’Or... maybe raise the Talent Level of "Evil Aura" and "Eye of the Hunter"?’

Various ideas swirled in his mind. Qin Feng was silent for a moment before ultimately suppressing the urge to upgrade his other Talents immediately.

He decided to save his Dragon Crystals for now and prioritize unlocking the "Sword and Saber Weapon Pack from the Otherworld" Talent once he had gathered 1,000.

After all, among his current Awakened Talents, it seemed only this Otherworld weapon pack could grant him a significant boost in power.

As for the "Eye of the Hunter" Talent, although its overall ability was absurdly powerful, upgrading it only increased the number of targets he could mark. It didn’t reduce the number of kills required for "Sealed Resurrection." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Therefore, there was absolutely no need to waste Dragon Crystals on the "Eye of the Hunter" Talent right now.

As for the "Recruit Prisoners" and "Middle-earth Warhammer" Talents, they were still a lower priority. Even if they could truly replicate the growth trajectory of "Bloodthirsty"—undergoing a qualitative change at Level 5 to unlock a super-powerful, game-changing effect—they couldn’t compare to the tangible leap in combat power offered by the "Sword and Saber Weapon Pack from the Otherworld."

After all, the advantages from weapons were more direct and better suited for dealing with any unknown crises that might lie ahead.

Not to mention, these were weapons from a Riding and Cutting mod.

Absolutely Heaven-defying.

As for the "Evil Aura" Talent, there was even less of a rush.

Although this Awakened Talent provided a considerable boost to his overall strength, Qin Feng always had a clear sense of priority. It was ultimately a standard Talent native to the Lord World. Compared to the rule-rewriting "Riding and Cutting Talents" and the Heaven-defying "Divine Gift Authority," it was fundamentally in a lower league.

That’s why he had always kept the upgrade priority for "Evil Aura" at the very bottom. He adhered to a simple principle: as long as the current effect of Evil Aura was sufficient to meet his needs on the battlefield, he would absolutely not spend a single extra resource on it.

’So then?’

’What’s next?’

Qin Feng raised a hand to rub the bridge of his nose and began to sort out the current situation.

First, there was Nesia. The guy had vanished without a trace, as if he’d evaporated from the face of the earth. Unless he showed himself willingly, Qin Feng had no way to locate him.

Then there were his other enemies. The troublemaking Evil Dragon Jinli and Flame Emperor Galukasa had been completely dealt with, with no possibility of Resurrection.

The only remaining overt threat was the Void Creatures in the Central Region of the Gulad Empire. But dealing with them was just a matter of time. Given his current personal strength and the power of his army, there was no pressure at all.

As for the Kingdom of Ventecenia, which was at war with the Gulad Empire, he had even less to worry about.

Their Extraordinary Army of Magic Masters had long since been crushed by the terrifying Evil Dragon Jinli. Now, with their strength greatly diminished, they were no match for him at all.

On top of that, the mad madam and her people were constantly in the ear of the Queen of Ventecenia.

They were singing the praises of the Holy Empire and Lord Tingfeng.

Subduing them might just be a matter of saying the word.

All things considered, it seemed there were no urgent matters to handle for the time being... ’Oh, wait, no, that’s not right. There are actually a few small problems left!’

At that thought, Qin Feng snapped back to reality, his fingertips subconsciously clenching into a fist.

The Western Island Countries and the eastern Dragon Realm—these two entrenched Native Powers had to be dealt with properly, no matter what.

After all, the rules of the King’s War Event were crystal clear. If he couldn’t subdue all the Native Powers of this Lord World in one go (including temporary subjugation, regardless of any subsequent rebellions), he would never obtain the "Heaven’s Chosen Ruler" title, let alone claim ultimate victory.

This was no small matter and allowed for no carelessness. It had to be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

’Wait a minute.’

’Let me think carefully.’

’What were the characteristics and backgrounds of these two Native Powers again?’

Qin Feng pressed his temples and gazed into the distance, trying to awaken dormant memories.

He had specifically compiled intelligence on all the Native Powers to prepare for the King’s War Event, but there had been so much going on recently that he had forgotten the details in a moment of carelessness...

Fortunately, Qin Feng was prepared. As a top-tier player who had dominated the gaming world in his past life, he had always maintained the habit of handwriting his game guides.

This meticulous attention to detail was now coming in handy.

The situation in the Dragon Realm was relatively simple. Its power structure was quite similar to that of the Forest Sub-humans in the north.

There was a supreme Shelter that ruled over the entire region: the "Ancient Giant Dragon Kingdom."

Beneath it were numerous small, independent kingdoms that didn’t interfere with one another, such as the Sub-dragon Kingdom, which was primarily composed of Dragon Blood Demon Beasts, and the Lizardman Kingdom, which excelled at swamp warfare.

In the Dragon Realm, both the Sub-dragon Kingdom and the Lizardman Kingdom would absolutely obey the commands of the high-status Ancient Giant Dragons.

For instance, major events that determined the fate of the entire region—such as joining forces to attack the human-led Gulad Empire or forming an alliance treaty with it—were ultimately decided by the Ancient Giant Dragons on the Holy Mountain.

However, even with the Ancient Giant Dragons controlling the bigger picture, these smaller kingdoms would occasionally break out into local conflicts over trivial matters like territory or resources. But these squabbles never shook the core ruling status of the Ancient Giant Dragons.

In comparison, the power distribution among the Western Island Countries was far more complex, lacking the clear hierarchical system of the Dragon Realm.

Their pirate culture was extremely prevalent...
