This assassin is upright

Chapter 440 The Wrath of the Divine Realm

"No...no!"

"Do not kill me!"

As the demon approached step by step, Valen's legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground, desperately retreating on his hands and feet.

died…

All dead!
Apart from him, the other four near-third-stage cultivators in the Fifth Divine District all perished within a few breaths. Even though they temporarily raised their strength to the first stage of divine transformation, they were still so helpless in the hands of their opponent.

At this moment, Valen had completely lost the excitement and anticipation he had shown before when he was holding a weapon and eagerly wanting to kill Yu Zhun and the others.

Instead, there was overwhelming despair and fear.

This happened twice in a row, which completely terrified him.

Even if Yu Zhun lets him go, Valen, whose mind is already depleted, is destined to become a useless person after returning to the Fifth Divine District.

Moreover, Yu Zhun would never do something so foolish.

“Your four companions are all dead. If you hadn’t died, wouldn’t that be disloyal?” He looked at the other person with a slightly mocking expression.

"But don't worry, you won't have died in vain."

"When the instance is rolled back, your ugly side will be seen by the world."

"I believe the Fifth God District will be pleasantly surprised."

Before Valen could say anything more, Yu Zhun cleaved the man's body in two with a single stroke, then snatched the man's longsword.

As the Heavenly Demon Battle Formation dissipated, he examined the sword in his hand with great interest, a smile appearing on his face.

"It's a really good weapon."

"The fact that a second-tier weapon can be made to ignore the [Life-Saving Stone] through special forging enhancements is truly astonishing."

When the five people from the Fifth Divine District first tested the weapon's effects on a passerby, Yu Zhun, who was inside the Hidden Realm, saw it all clearly.

Although he knew that the other party might not be able to threaten him, he was on guard against the weapon the whole time and deliberately left Valen to be killed last.

“If Lu Wen were still here, he would definitely love this sword.” Helmod couldn’t help but sigh. “He has envied your ability to ignore resurrection for a long time, since you both have the talent of one-hit kill.”

"Then let's take this weapon as a gift when we meet again." Yu Zhun smiled and casually put the sword away. "I hope it will come in handy."

“It will definitely come in handy.” Yu Zhu chuckled. “If nothing unexpected happens, the Fifth Divine District should have already received news of these five people’s deaths.”

“Such an important divine child must have left something like a life tablet in the divine realm.” Helmod nodded. “Last time we extorted two Heaven-Mending Jade from them, and this time we not only lost five near-third-stage divine children, but also five special treasures.”

"The Fifth Divine District is really in a sorry state."

"Treasure?" Yu Zhun was taken aback for a moment, then realized, "You mean the thing that they just upgraded to the third rank?"

“Yes.” Helmod nodded slightly. “I have heard of this. It is of great help to those who are about to reach the third stage of the quest, especially for the third stage quest trials.”

"With it, the probability of successfully passing the third-stage trial can be increased by about 50% or even more, so this item is not cheap."

“I can already foresee the anger of the strongest being in the Fifth Divine District.” Yu Zhun couldn’t help but smile upon hearing this. “However, in that case, we need to hurry up with our next plan.”

"Taking advantage of their current anger and loss of reason, this is the best time to deal with them." With that, Yu Zhun turned to look at the vast wilderness teeming with players.

"We need to speed up the walkthrough for this dungeon."

"Accelerate?" Helmod's expression shifted slightly. "Didn't you say you didn't leave any backdoors in the dungeon?"

“I didn’t leave a backdoor, but that doesn’t mean I can’t help others with their strategies.” Yu Zhun chuckled, then casually took out an item.

It's a very simple tool with only one function: to amplify the sound so that it can be heard throughout the entire [Elegy Wilderness].

After activating the prop, Yu Zhun cleared his throat and said, "Everyone."

The moment the sound rang out, everything around them fell silent. Players from countless servers, engrossed in their arduous strategy, simultaneously stopped what they were doing and looked in surprise toward the direction from which the sound came.

When they realized that the direction from which the sound came was the same as the direction of the shockwaves from the earth-shattering battle just now, their expressions changed rapidly.

"I don't know how far you've progressed with your strategy, but now, I'm going to share the strategy for [Elegy Wasteland] with you." Yu Zhun said with a smile. "Believe it or not, it's up to you, but I believe it shouldn't be difficult for you to verify whether what I'm about to say is true or false."

"After all, we're all veteran players who have completed the second job advancement."

"Within the [Wilderness of Lament], there are many [Lands of Lament], which are areas where you can hear music and be attacked by dungeon monsters after entering."

"In these areas, I believe most of you have been inexplicably weakened after attacking dungeon monsters."

"It's not that the dungeon monsters can't be killed, but rather that they must be killed according to a very specific rule."

"That means you can only kill dungeon monsters by clicking on the beat of the music."

"Problems will arise sooner or later."

"Only by perfectly executing kills at every beat until the music ends can you be considered to have conquered this [Land of Sorrow]."

"And you will receive a reward for each successful strategy."

"A few of your teams may have already won it."

"There are two rewards in total. One of them is a fragment of a tragic song, which corresponds to one-tenth of the music."

"Only by gathering all the parts and piecing together a complete lament can one enter the second unit, the Tower of Eternal Sleep."

"That's why I'm sharing the strategy with you."

“The fragments obtained in the Land of Elegy may be repeated. The best strategy is to exchange them to piece together the complete music.”

"As for the other reward, it is a fragment of a musical instrument."

"Only by piecing together the complete musical instrument can you pass the level perfectly."

"Therefore, everyone, please do not overlook any of the [Lands of Sorrow]."

"This is the only way to achieve a perfect score."

As Yu Zhun's words echoed through the arena, the boundless [Elegy Wilderness] was instantly enveloped in an incredibly eerie atmosphere.

It wasn't that the people didn't believe Yu Zhun's words.

In fact, they were all second-tier powerhouses who had conquered countless dungeons and had been here for so long that they had discovered some clues.

These clues perfectly match what Yu Zhun said.

Therefore, they knew that what Yu Zhun obtained was most likely true.

But that's precisely why it's even stranger.

Over the years, there has never been a case where someone directly tells everyone how to complete a completely new instance.

Isn't that a bit too selfless?

Even the other four people behind Yu Zhun had somewhat subtle expressions.

"Is this the speed-up method you were talking about?" Helmod couldn't help but ask.

“Of course.” Yu Zhun chuckled. “Haven’t we already decided that the perfect clear of this dungeon will be given to Xue Jiajia as a pledge of loyalty to her, so it doesn’t matter if we tell others.”

As he spoke, he pointed to the crowd that was gradually starting to move and the astonishing number of "Land of Sorrow" throughout the entire "Wilderness of Sorrow".

"To piece together a complete lyre, we need to explore all the [Lands of Lamentation]." "With only our small group, the efficiency will be too low."

"Wouldn't it be better to have everyone on all the servers help out?"

"Furthermore, the more people enter the Tower of Eternal Sleep, the easier it will be to navigate within the Tower of Eternal Sleep."

"But…"

Yu Zhu's expression was strange, and he couldn't help but ask, "Don't they realize that by doing this, they're only benefiting others in the end?"

“Of course I can realize that.” Yu Zhun nodded. “After all, there can only be one team that can achieve a perfect clear in the end.”

"And here, there are 50,000 expedition teams."

At this point, Yu Zhun smiled and said, "Most of them probably don't even consider 'perfect first pass' as a goal."

"They just want to be one step ahead in figuring out the new dungeon and quickly put together a strategy guide so that their server can get ahead of the competition."

"So, by designing this instance, you've forced players from 50,000 servers to cooperate and exchange fragments to complete it while competing," Helmod said slowly. "A very interesting approach."

"I believe that after today, thanks to the extraordinary strategy, this will become the most popular of the Lv90 permanent dungeons."

“It won’t do if it’s not popular.” Yu Zhun smiled slightly. “If a dungeon on a server with 50,000 servers isn’t interesting enough, it will soon become a useless dungeon because it won’t even have enough players to match.”

"Alright, we should hurry up and put together some clips."

Despite having traveled to so many places, Yu Zhun and the others still haven't collected any footage for themselves.

If by the end the entire Land of Sorrow has been explored, and Yu Zhun, as the dungeon designer, hasn't even collected all the fragments, making it impossible to enter the Tower of Eternal Slumber, then that would be a laughing stock.

"boom!!!"

A deafening roar echoed across the sky of the world where the Fifth Divine District was located, as if the wrath of a god had struck. Countless people looked up in terror at the raging lightning serpents and the endless dark clouds that instantly descended upon the sky.

Above those dark clouds, in a majestic palace standing at the edge of the sky, a towering figure exuded a terrifying, suffocating pressure, and boundless rage caused the surrounding void to tremble wildly.

Below him stood hundreds of figures, each possessing a colossal divine power capable of making an ordinary world tremble. At this moment, all of these figures lowered their heads, not daring to reveal the slightest emotion.

Their gazes occasionally drifted toward the very center of the main hall.

There were five broken life tablets.

These correspond to five rising stars in the Fifth God Zone, five god-level players who are only one step away from the third job advancement.

Now, they have all perished in the instance.

This incredibly tense atmosphere lasted for a moment before the strongest being from the Fifth Divine District slowly spoke, his eyes filled with rage and killing intent.

How dare they...

How dare he...

“Yu Zhun…” The supreme expert slowly uttered the name that was like an ant to him.

"If you destroy my five divine sons, I will make you pay a heavy price."

"Pass on my order." His voice paused slightly, "All third-tier experts under the Fifth Divine District, spare no effort to target server 45239, until this server is reduced to ashes!"

"Yes!" The group of third-stage powerhouses perked up and responded in unison.

But the next moment, a voice drifted in from outside the hall.

"My Lord Demon Lord! Something has happened!"

Amidst the shouts, a figure swiftly rushed into the hall; it was none other than a third-tier powerhouse from the Fifth Divine Region.

Ignoring the tense atmosphere inside the hall, he burst in and immediately shouted, "The Fourth Divine District's army is pressing in!"

"what?!"

These words startled everyone in the hall.

The Fourth Divine Region... a massive army is pressing in?!

This term is far too unfamiliar.

Although they have a long-standing grudge against the Fourth Divine District, their strengths are similar, so they have always been secretly competing and engaging in various minor conflicts.

Now, is the Fourth Divine District going to fight them to the death?
why?
Even the strongest person from the Fifth Divine District, sitting at the head of the table, couldn't help but show a look of astonishment in their eyes.

Even after the deaths of the five divine sons, he did not dare to directly attack the Fourth Divine District. Instead, he resorted to retaliating against Blue Star.

The order for this retaliation had only just been issued and had not yet been carried out.

What is the Fourth Divine District planning to do at this critical juncture?
After a moment of shock, boundless anger surged into my heart.

Their Fifth Divine District has fallen so low that anyone can trample on it?

"All troops, follow me to battle!"

With a low shout, the supreme powerhouse of the Fifth Divine Region surged with overwhelming demonic might, stepping out of the world and into the vast void. Looking at the Fourth Divine Region's powerhouses, who stood in neat rows like heavenly soldiers in the distance, his eyes blazed with boundless killing intent and rage. "Parylius, have you gone mad?"

"Of course not." The strongest expert from the Fourth Divine District, who had led his men, chuckled. "I'm just taking a stroll with my people."

"If I remember correctly, the area I'm standing on right now should still be within the territory of our Fourth Divine District, right?"

"Migra, aren't you being a bit nosy?"

Upon hearing this, the veins on the forehead of the strongest expert in the Fifth Divine District bulged instantly.

What is the area of ​​the Fourth Divine Region?

Indeed, this guy is standing within the Fourth God Zone.

But just one more step forward, and there lies their Fifth Divine District!
They brought so many people to the border, yet they turned around and accused us.

At this moment, He was so enraged by the other party's shamelessness that He laughed.

"Alright, alright, since that's the case, then let's just stand here!"

With a roar from the strongest being of the Fifth Divine Region, countless powerful beings quickly gathered, rapidly forming a force in the void that was no weaker than that of the Fourth Divine Region.

The two sides were locked in a tense standoff, and the atmosphere became unusually heavy for a moment.

"My lord, when shall we make our move?" A third-tier expert standing behind the strongest in the Fourth Divine District asked, his eyes burning with fighting spirit. "I can't hold back any longer."

He had a grudge against several third-stage cultivators in the Fifth Divine District, and this was a good opportunity to settle scores with them all!
"No rush." ​​The strongest being from the Fourth Divine District shook his head slightly. "What we need to do now is wait."

"...Wait for what?"

The strongest being in the Fourth Divine Region remained silent, a hint of a smile appearing in his eyes.

Helmod, however, made a rather unusual friend.

If we can really take advantage of this opportunity to wipe out this clown-like Fifth Divine District, it wouldn't be a bad thing.

After all, He had been disliking the other party for a long time.

If He could obtain a share of the resources of the Fifth Divine District, it should be enough for Him to break through to the final step and become the fourth ninth-stage deity among the ten thousand worlds.

"Wait for the end of one instance."
