Chapter 348: Chapter 265: Descent into the Cold Wind World (2)
Li Longyu asked, "Can I go with you?"
Wang Yi shook his head and said, "You can’t go! Only Descenders can travel to the Cold Wind World!"
With that said, Wang Yi delayed no longer. He quickly made his way to the dilapidated version of the High-Dimensional Divine Hall, picking some Crown Bananas along the way.
Inside the dilapidated High-Dimensional Divine Hall, Wang Yi could only see 23 descent missions, all of them D-level. The fourth one was the mission to descend into the Cold Wind World.
"Descend into the [Cold Wind World], eliminate the Celestial God Level Cold Wind Giant Dragon. Mission completion reward: 10 Descent Points. Time limit: three months..."
Wang Yi took out the Mysterious Newspaper again and reread the news about the Cold Wind World, muttering, ’The Cold Wind World’s plot has collapsed and entered destruction mode. Zoro the Destruction is about to transform into an Abyss Gazer. But since the descent mission is still available, the Cold Wind Giant Dragon should still be alive. I’ll go check out what this destruction mode is all about!’
Having made up his mind, Wang Yi wasted no more time. He immediately accepted the descent mission and chose to descend with his true body. A breath later, the scenery before Wang Yi changed, and he arrived in the Cold Wind World.
His vision was filled with a world of ice and snow. Frost fell from the sky, and the cold wind howled in his ears.
Wang Yi felt as if he had arrived in a frozen apocalypse. His breath turned to frost, the cold gave him goosebumps, and he couldn’t help but shiver.
’The temperature here must be at least tens of degrees below zero, and the wind is strong. An ordinary person would find it hard to even take a step, let alone survive. Good thing I came prepared!’
Wang Yi opened his Chaos Realm and first pulled out a military greatcoat.
This was no ordinary greatcoat; it was Enhance +5, resistant to cold and excellent at retaining heat. After Wang Yi put it on, he immediately felt warm, the biting cold completely gone.
Wang Yi then took out a Round Pearl. It was a Wind-Avoidance Pearl. He tucked the Wind-Avoidance Pearl into his clothes, and the cold wind automatically parted around him.
’With the greatcoat and the Wind-Avoidance Pearl, this Cold Wind World holds no disadvantage for me. Next up is finding the Seven-Color Blind Box. I have three months... I hope I can find it...’
Wang Yi released his Star Compass, stood on it, and began to fly close to the ground. He had no special means of exploration; he relied entirely on his naked eyes to search for things, which was more or less the same as relying on luck.
Wang Yi didn’t find this boring at all. He had the mindset of a tourist, enjoying the sights. Gazing down upon the Cold Wind World, he could find magnificent landscapes even in this frozen apocalypse.
Soon, Wang Yi took out his Four Symbols Gourd and tried to collect some of the cold wind. To his surprise, it actually worked.
This discovery delighted Wang Yi. ’Cold wind can be useful at times. Since I have the Four Symbols Gourd and can collect it for free, it’d be a waste not to!’
A day later, Wang Yi had completed the Refinement of four ice mountains, finally assembling the Nine Mountains and Nine Rivers. He still had three hundred million points of Chaos Energy left!
Now, within his body, he had five mineral mountains, four ice mountains, and nine Starlight Rivers!
Of the Starlight Rivers, eight were for combat, and one was for travel.
The eight combat-focused Starlight Rivers could release a total of three hundred million Starlight Flying Swords!
In addition, Wang Yi had also converted a thousand units of Mountain and River True Qi.
This was the culmination of his accumulations over the past several months!
’From a thousand mountains, no bird has flown; on ten thousand paths, no human trace is seen. Is this Cold Wind World truly deserted?’
Wang Yi continued his lonely exploration.
「Three days later.」 In the very center of the Cold Wind World’s Central Continent, a figure suddenly descended from the sky like a divine spear.
Where the golden light landed, there was a suit of pitch-black Battle Armor. From within that Battle Armor, a golden figure slowly rose.
The figure had long hair and a slender build; it was a male Player by the name of Zoro.
"I’ve finally completed the Destruction mission. This world... I have destroyed it. Leaving behind this Destruction husk, my soul will ascend into the High-Dimensional World..."
The golden figure spoke slowly, his gaze falling upon the black Battle Armor below with a hint of reluctance.
"After ascending, I can directly become a Starry Sky God and simultaneously obtain the status of a Descender and a large amount of Descent Points. Unfortunately, all of my power will remain in this husk. In the future, this Cold Wind World will become a World of Suffering, I suppose. And my husk... it will become the Abyss Gazer!"
The golden figure seemed reluctant to leave, but after a moment, he sighed. His form rose with the golden light, departing the Cold Wind World. He broke through the world barrier and vanished to an unknown destination.
At the same time, Wang Yi, who was still exploring the Cold Wind World alone, received a world announcement.
"DING! World Announcement: Player Zoro has completed the Destruction mission. The current Newbie World has been destroyed and is about to transform into a World of Suffering. The World Law has manifested, giving birth to an Abyss Gazer. A Soul Abyss is now forming in the current world. The Wind God Temple will become the origin point of the Soul Abyss!"
"DING! World Announcement: The Cold Wind Giant Dragon has initiated the World-Lord mission. It will soon transform into an Elemental Dominator within the Wind God Temple. Estimated transformation time: 30 days. After completing its transformation, the Cold Wind Giant Dragon will inhabit the World Line."
"DING! World Announcement: When the Cold Wind Giant Dragon successfully inhabits the World Line, the transformation into a World of Suffering will be complete, and the world barrier will be reinforced! If the Cold Wind Giant Dragon fails to inhabit the World Line, the world’s transformation will be paused."
"DING! Your accepted descent mission has been updated. Killing the Cold Wind Giant Dragon will now award 100 Descent Points!"
Wang Yi’s heart skipped a beat.
’That Player named Zoro is so powerful he destroyed this world all by himself! The Cold Wind Giant Dragon is turning into an Elemental Dominator. An Elemental Dominator and an Eco-Dominator... they should be similar kinds of beings, right? Both are World-Lords?’
Wang Yi quickly sorted through the useful information. The location of the Seven-Color Blind Box was still unknown, but the Cold Wind Giant Dragon should now be in the Wind God Temple, and the Wind God Temple was set to become the origin point of the Soul Abyss.
Wang Yi wasn’t sure what the exact setup of the Wind God Temple and the Soul Abyss was, but he estimated that the Seven-Color Blind Box was very likely within one of them.
’I should try to find the Wind God Temple first. Since the Divine Hall is named after the eye of the storm, perhaps its setup is similar to the Gale Wilderness. If I travel against the wind, I might just find it!’
Wang Yi resumed his exploration.
And at that very moment, a flash of light pulsed from the Battle Armor Zoro had left behind. It actually came to life and slowly stood up.
"Huh, I’ve hit the jackpot. The combat power of this Abyss Gazer is nearly on par with my main body! To think a Newbie World would have such an expert!"
A man’s voice emanated from within the Abyss Gazer.
Clearly, one of the Starry Sky Players had descended.
Descenders have three ways to enter a world: True Body Descent, Abyss Gazer Descent, and Destruction Descent.
True Body Descent carries the greatest risk. Abyss Gazer Descent is equivalent to soul transmigration; the soul descends into an Abyss Gazer’s body, activating it and gaining access to its combat power.
An Abyss Gazer Descent requires an existing Abyss Gazer and consumes a relatively large amount of Descent Points.
Destruction Descent is akin to a reincarnation-style descent. The risk and cost are low, but one starts off weak and needs to grow over time.
The Player who had descended into the Abyss Gazer’s body was now surveying his surroundings and muttering, "A pity my Wind-Avoidance Pearl is gone. If I still had it, killing that Cold Wind Giant Dragon wouldn’t be difficult... The losses from my last descent were too great. I used up almost all my Descent Points; otherwise, I wouldn’t have bothered accepting a D-level mission like this!"
The Abyss Gazer shook its head. The one who had descended into its body was none other than Jiang Wuqing!
Jiang Wuqing sensed the direction of the wind and soon began to walk against it. The frigid gale greatly hindered his movement. He couldn’t help but think of the Wind-Avoidance Pearl again, and the thought of the Pearl made him think of Yang Jian, causing him to grit his teeth in silent fury.
’If that barbarian Destruction from the Typhon World had been as strong as this Zorlo the Abyss Gazer, I definitely wouldn’t have lost so miserably against Yang Jian. That ultimate move of his was truly powerful, but this Zorlo the Abyss Gazer should be able to withstand it...’
Jiang Wuqing thought to himself that once the Typhon World was unsealed, he would definitely teach that Yang Jian a good lesson and make him understand just how formidable he was.
「Three days later.」 Jiang Wuqing found the Wind God Temple. He was overjoyed, thinking, ’Once I enter this hall and take out the Cold Wind Giant Dragon, my descent mission will be complete. Nothing should go wrong.’
But then, he suddenly noticed a Bronze Horse Carriage parked in front of the Divine Hall.
’This carriage... why does it look so familiar!’
Jiang Wuqing muttered to himself. Taking two more steps forward, he saw someone fixing the carriage nearby. A flash of recognition hit him, and he roared, "Yang Jian!"
