The countdown was still going slowly. When it was time to choose the difficulty, Ling Yi hesitated.
“Mm… What Nangong Li said makes sense. If I can’t beat him, then I’ll be in big trouble.”
Although Lin Shurou could ensure that the crystal was safe, the challenge would not end until they defeated all the attacking enemies.
“You didn’t clear the game last time when you chose the same difficulty level?” He looked at Yunji and asked.
The latter nodded. “Yeah. It’s a defense event at the end of the day. The monsters don’t need to beat the players. All they have to do is to destroy the crystal.”
“No matter how strong a Godking is, it’s still hard for them to protect the crystal against thousands of monsters.”
“Didn’t you say that the Godkings were annihilated?” Ling Yi was confused.
“Once the crystal broke, the Godkings naturally turned into ashes.” Yunji blinked.
“…”
Nangong Li’s red eyes lit up when she saw Ling Yi’s hesitation. She hurriedly said, “The Demonic God’s Descent only takes place once every half a month. We’re not in a hurry. We can choose the medium difficulty first. If you think it’s easy, it’s not too late to choose the highest difficulty later.”
“Alright,” he said.
In the end, Ling Yi chose the “medium” difficulty.
The final boss was the Demonic God. He had never defeated the Demonic God before, so it was better to take it easy.
As he was making his choice, a light blue glow shot out from the crystal and shone on Ling Yi’s body — it seemed to be testing his strength.
A moment later, a notification appeared in front of all the players.
[Demonic God Descent: Player ’01’ has adjusted the difficulty to ‘medium’!]
[All monsters’ attributes +10%, level +5]
[Guard Points +100%]
“As expected, only one top expert is needed to make the decision.” Ling Yi nodded slowly.
He noticed that the noise around him had suddenly quieted down, so he turned his head to look.
He saw the players looking at him in shock and surprise.
After a few breaths, the crowd suddenly burst into an uproar.
“Waa! Heavens! Ling Yi actually chose the difficulty!”
“Didn’t the Great Thousand Council forbid players from choosing the difficulty?!”
“He’s too confident! If our defense fails, then all the blame will be on him!”
“Players have chosen the medium difficulty three times before, and not a single one has succeeded. This time should be no exception.”
“It seems like the Great Thousand Universe will not be peaceful again after this event.”
The surrounding players were extremely shocked by Ling Yi’s choice of difficulty. It was obvious that no one expected this man, who had caused a sensation in the entire world yesterday, to cause such a big incident the day after.
The players in the other regions’ guard areas also saw the news. Some cursed, some were helpless, and some were curious. Among them, there were many people who were looking forward to this.
[I’ve read about Ling Yi’s past. He’s a man who has never lost a single battle. Perhaps he’ll be able to succeed this time.]
[Yeah, in yesterday’s war of the major realms, he didn’t seem to show his full strength.]
In area No. 5, Xuan Zhentian turned to Caique and asked, “What do you think?” 𝙛𝐫𝑒𝐞𝘄ℯ𝘣𝚗𝘰𝘷𝙚𝘭. c𝘰m
This time, the two of them were lucky enough to be assigned to the same area.
Caique frowned and pondered for a while. Finally, he shook his head. “I’m not sure either, but he should be confident. I don’t think he’s the kind of person who would make a decision so easily.”
He recalled the moment when the youth had confidently entered his bewildering formation yesterday.
“Hm…”
Xuan Zhentian nodded.
…
Soon, the first wave of monsters arrived.
Under the blue sky, a dense swarm of bats flew over from the distance, forming a huge black cloth.
“They’re Self-Destructing Bats! Oh no! Quickly defend!”
“I didn’t expect them to be the first wave! I’m a little unlucky today.”
“Don’t tell me we’ll all be wiped out in the first wave!”
The players shouted as they retreated in the direction of the crystal. They knew how dangerous the Self-Destructing Bats were, and they were now extremely panicked.
Ling Yi used his [Eye of Truth] only to discover that these Self-Destructing Bats were only level 105, elite divine breath creatures. He wasn’t nervous and turned to Yunji to ask, “By the way, how many waves of enemies are there, and how long will the battle last?”
Yunji looked away from the Self-Destructing Bats and smiled, “The enemy has a total of ten waves. After one wave, the next wave will immediately appear. There will be a Beast King boss in every wave, and there will be an additional random one in the fifth wave.”
“These monsters won’t get entangled with the players. Their goal is to destroy the crystal by all means. If we don’t quickly exterminate them, more and more will gather.”
“It’ll take about an hour to finish ten waves.”
When Ling Yi turned his gaze back, he saw the group of Self-Destructing Bats casting a stunning wave at the players in front of them, causing them to fall from the sky one by one.
Even when a few people used their Skills to keep themselves awake and attacked them, they only dodged and did not fight back, as if the huge crystal was the only thing in their eyes.
Shua shua shua…!
...
The Self-Destructing Bats were extremely fast. One by one, they passed through the gaps between the players and rushed straight toward the crystal.
“Thunder Barrier!” A player pressed his hands on the ground, and a lightning wall about a thousand meters wide rose up from the ground.
The wall was wide and tall, and the Self-Destructing Bats could not bypass it. In an instant, the dense electric current hit their bodies, making their flying posture shake for a moment.
“Snarling Bear, use Taunt!”
A player stood on the shoulder of a fifty-meter-tall bear and shouted.
ROAR!
The giant bear patted its chest hard and let out a roar toward the sky. It let out a crimson voice, and when it spread out to the surrounding Self-Destructing Bats, the creatures would turn around and attack each other.
The players used all sorts of methods, and for a moment, the sky in front of the crystal was filled with lightning, thunder, and fire.
Ling Yi watched for a while. When he saw that some of the Self-Destructing Bats had finally broken through the players’ defense and rushed toward the crystal, he finally stopped waiting.
He raised his hand and summoned the wind.
Huaa—
...
A gust of wind blew from the east to the west, from the direction of the crystal to the direction where the monsters came from.
Bang, bang bang!
Wherever the wind passed, the Self-Destructing Bats turned into light spots and disappeared without any resistance.
In just a short breath, the monsters in area number 3 were all wiped out!
The players were stunned for a while before they heaved a sigh of relief.
“Phew! With 01 around, it shouldn’t be a problem to make it to the fourth level.”
“That’s right. He’s already a Godking with a deity position. He should be able to defeat a level 100 unparalleled Beast King.”
“Speaking of which, what exactly is his deity position?”
“I’m not sure…”
While the players were discussing, the Self-Destructing Bat army was still appearing. Ling Yi thought for a moment, then turned to Lin Shurou. “You stay here and protect the crystal. I’ll go block the entrance.”
“Alright,” She said.
Lin Shurou nodded and tiptoed to give Ling Yi a kiss. “Be careful. You know I don’t want you to get hurt.”
“Yes.”
Ling Yi turned around and flew away.
As she watched his back disappear, Lin Shurou stuck out her tongue and licked her red lips. She then raised her hand and activated the [Holy Barrier].
When the golden translucent bowl covered the area, all the players in the area were stunned.
They didn’t know what it was, but they thought that it was a wonderful and dreamy shield.
“Wow, what kind of barrier is this? It’s so pretty.”
“I think it’s 01’s wife’s barrier. I heard it’s invincible.”
“Really? Then it’s too much of a pity to use it now. At the very least, we should activate it when we can’t hold on any longer.”
“I heard that it can stay on the field for a very long time…”
