Chapter 617: Level 5 Fisherman!Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Danger!
An intense sense of fear suddenly sprouted in the heart of the escaping youth.
His temples bulged and twitched fiercely.
This fear that couldn"t be dismissed rang like an alarm in his head.
How can this be possible?! I"m tens of thousand meters away from that person. What kind of attack can possibly be enough to threaten me from such a distance!?
The elegant male panicked and turned around.
A three zhang long arrow as thick as an adult"s arm was currently streaking towards him!
I can"t dodge it!
This thought instantly flashed through his mind, following which his head was directly exploded by the fierce arrow!
Although he had seen the approaching arrow, it was too late!
By the time he saw it, the arrow was practically right in front of his eyes. There were no time for any kind of reaction at all.
Vision lag!
This arrow was so fast that even a Thousand Year King could not see it clearly!
One might think that it should be possible to dodge the arrow if he could see it.
But that was only in theory. The arrow that he saw was the arrow in its previous location! Although it looked like it was still a hundred meters away, by the time that the image was transmitted to his mind, it was already right in front of his eyes!
Bei Feng looked coldly at the headless corpse falling from the sky 30,000 meters away, not feeling surprised at all.
Locking his mental power on a target was much simpler than locking onto his target with sight.
He flew leisurely towards the corpse, kept away his spatial ring, and returned.
As for the center of the lightning zone, any regular Thousand Year King would be directly killed by the lightning it they stepped in.
The ground 20 li around the area was sinking constantly as if it was a swamp!
The solid ground was actually being forcefully pushed downwards by the immense pressure from the sky!
At this time, the ground had already sunk by 100 meters, and it was already as hard as steel!
However, it was still being compacted constantly, sinking rapidly!
Countless dark gold shards floated in the sky.
An incomparably huge lightning dragon swam out from the thick clouds, its aura menacing and terrifying like that of a creature from myths and legends!
Even a Ten Thousand Year Supremacy was nothing but an ant in front of it!
“ANG!”
The huge lightning dragon roared, and locked its fierce gaze on the broken shards in the sky. With a loud cry, a huge ball of lightning over 10,000 meters wide was shot out from the lightning dragon"s mouth!
“Kcha!”
As soon as this gigantic ball of lightning appeared, the s.p.a.ce in the area began to shatter into large pieces, unable to endure the pressure!
Everywhere the ball of lightning pa.s.sed, a long pitch-black mark would be left behind, forming a shockingly large scar in the sky.
The lightning ball held a terrifying energy and an intense heat that could burn even the sky!
“Boom!”
The lightning ball completely swallowed up countless golden black shards.
Right now, the temperature of this lightning ball was several million degrees high!
A Thousand Year King realm expert would definitely be unable to endure it, and even a Ten Thousand Year Supremacy would not be able to do much against it!
Most of the energy had been contained in the area of 10,000 meters, but just the bit of energy that leaked out from the area was enough to cause a huge commotion!
The ground around it was all cracked, and a tremor surged out from the area like a wave!
The intense temperature surging from the lightning ball was as if a second sun had appeared. All the plants nearby began to wilt with speed visible to the naked eye before bursting into flames.
Huge fissures appeared on the ground as shocking temperature surged from within!
The giant lighting ball only appeared for about 10 minutes, but the entire land was scorched beyond recovery!
The power of lightning was incredibly frightening. Even a normal lightning bolt from a regular storm could easily destroy Hundred Year realm cultivators, and even peak level Hundred Year realm experts would have a high chance of death when struck by it.
That kind of lightning only appeared for an instant, and the heat it brought was not significant.
But this was different now. The giant lightning ball persisted and remained hanging there for a long time, and the temperature that radiated from it had reached the extreme!
After some time, the lightning ball slowly dissipated, revealing the golden black shards within.
The shards had become even smaller, and could not even be called shards now. Right now, each one of them was at most the size of sesame seeds.
But if one looked closely, they could see that each shard was covered in complicated lightning patterns!
“ANG!”
A look of rage flashed in the eyes of the lightning dragon, which was seemingly extremely displeased with the result. Opening its mouth wide, a spout of golden flame burst out!
“Boom!”
The terrifying blaze was exceptionally eye-catching, and the rays that shot from it could be seen from thousands of li away!
The world several thousand li around it had been turned into a sea of gold!
At the same time, the intense heat also followed closely behind it!
Apart from the Demonic Beasts, all the other animals were instantly killed, whether they be hidden deep underground or in lakes. Large patches of forests also began to wilt together.
The closer to the main site, the higher the temperature was. The heat had already reached several hundred degrees as far as several thousands li away. Within 1,000 li of the center, the temperature was over a shocking 1,000 degrees!
The land 300 li around it had already begun to melt, turning into a lava pool!
At the epicenter, the air was directly burned through by the fire, revealing a large hole over 10 li wide.
For the second time, the s.p.a.ce around the golden shards was completely incinerated!
This golden fire was a transformation of lightning. Although it could be said to have the same qualities as fire, its essence was actually still lightning.
The golden shards floated within the fire, its color turning darker.
But every second, huge amounts of lightning energy were absorbed by them, and the patterns on them also became more complicated and perfect!
As time pa.s.sed, the golden shards also began to melt little by little!
They formed into a liquid glob around the size of a human skull, and a perfect lightning rune was formed by the culmination of the countless lightning patterns. This lightning rune actually looked exactly the same as the runes on the scales of the lightning dragon in the air!
The fire was extinguished, but the area had been completely changed. The forest that had stood there originally disappeared, leaving behind an eye-catching lava pool!
A gigantic black hole remained in the air, emanating terrifying suction force!
Huge amounts of lava were sucked straight off the ground into the black hole, disappearing without a trace.
Several minutes later, the black hole began to repair itself, slowly growing smaller and disappearing.
The huge lava pool that spanned several hundred li was completely sucked dry in that short time, leaving behind a gigantic pit over 1,000 meters deep!
In the air, a lump of dark golden liquid floated, constantly changing forms. A perfect lightning rune shone dazzlingly on it.
Slowly, it turned into a beautiful whitish blue. The color of this liquid was incredibly beautiful, surpa.s.sing even the bright blue sky after a refres.h.i.+ng rainy day!
Faint electric bolts arched constantly around it, releasing a soft zapping sound.
The blue liquid began to stretch, slowly taking on the form of a fis.h.i.+ng rod!
Without waiting for the lightning dragon in the air to respond, this fis.h.i.+ng rod suddenly shot into the sky and appeared within the lightning dragon"s mouth!
All of the lightning dragon"s strength was perfectly concentrated within its body, and not a single shred leaked out. Otherwise, the results of it unleas.h.i.+ng its might would not end with such simple destruction. A tenth of this world would probably be doomed!
However, energy within its body was a completely different matter. It was incomparably wild, and the temperature inside was over hundreds of million degrees. Billions of lightning bolts flashed wildly within its body.
The sea of lightning struck against the fis.h.i.+ng rod continuously, causing the incomplete fis.h.i.+ng rod to tremble intensely!
After it took shape, it was shattered apart. Then, it took shape again, and the cycle was repeated once more.
It was unknown how much time pa.s.sed. The fis.h.i.+ng rod floated inside the lightning dragon"s body, and was no longer broken apart. At this time, the fis.h.i.+ng rod was incredibly perfect!
In the next moment, the fis.h.i.+ng rod suddenly disappeared from the lightning dragon"s body!
“ANG!”
The lightning dragon roared, sounding somewhat reluctant, but ultimately, it still disappeared, leaving behind the scorched land.
Several hundred li away, the fis.h.i.+ng suddenly reappeared within Bei Feng"s sea of consciousness!
“Ding! Upgrade complete!
“Current Fisherman Grade: Level 5!
“Next upgrade will require 1,000,000,000 experience points. Currently lacking 78,000,000 experience points as well as one Star Core of a high-grade planet!
“Ding! Host can fish once every season, four times a year!
“Fis.h.i.+ng gateway restriction removed; wherever the fis.h.i.+ng hook is cast will be the fis.h.i.+ng gateway!
“Host"s fis.h.i.+ng time limit has been increased to three days. After three days, the fis.h.i.+ng attempt will end regardless of the results!
“The vision range will be completely unveiled, and all treasures within 100 li will be indicated! Within 100 li, the grades of all treasures will be revealed! All languages will be automatically translated, and the probability of catching higher grade treasures will be greatly improved!”
A stream of notifications rang out continuously, causing Bei Feng to be both wild with joy and depressed.
The joy was naturally because he no longer needed to be bound to a single Myriad Heavens Fis.h.i.+ng Gateway and go through so much trouble. At the same time, the time limit for each fis.h.i.+ng attempt had been extended, which meant that he had more time to choose the treasures that he needed.
Also, the grades of all the treasures within 100 li would be revealed before his eyes. What did that mean?
It meant that he no longer needed to rely on luck in the future. With the grades of all the treasures revealed to him, he could pick and choose as much as he wanted.
Of course, although that sounded nice, it would be difficult to work with that new function.
Still, it was much better than barging around like a headless fly like before.
The depressing part was naturally that the fis.h.i.+ng attempts had been decreased in frequency again. He could only fish four times a year now. In that case, it was likely that if he raised the grade again, the fis.h.i.+ng chances would decrease even further!
And if he wanted to raised the grade again, the experience points needed had also increased by 100 times!
He"d initially thought that the experience points needed for each upgrade would be 10 times more than the last one, but who would have expected that it would suddenly jump by this much. Seeing this, Bei Feng had a somewhat ominous feeling. The next upgrade after that wouldn"t also be another 100 times more, right?
Not only that, experience points were no longer the only thing needed for an upgrade from now on. There were now additional conditions to be met as well!
One Star Core of a high-grade planet!
Bei Feng"s mouth twitched intensely. This was a requirement that had never appeared for any previous upgrades.
Forget it, it"s a good thing as well. Although the experience points needed had increased by 100 times, the grades of the treasures I will be fis.h.i.+ng up has also increased as well. As compared to the experience points, the Star Core of a high-grade planet should be the real problem.
Bei Feng ruminated quietly. This was the true core of a high-level planet! To get his hands on such a thing was more difficult than ascending to the heavens!
There were only two choices. First, he could directly extract the Star Core from a planet with powerful cultivation. Second, he could wait to encounter a planet that fell apart by itself!
If two stars or planets collided with each other, it was also possible for them to leave behind a complete Star Core. However, the greater possibility was that the Star Cores would be shattered into countless tiny pieces!
No matter which option he was looking at, all of them were incredibly difficult to achieve.
