Chapter 888 Thunder G.o.d’s Protection
Li Yi made an attempt to absorb. He fired a stroke of thunder and lightning and the body of the Frosty Wolf Chief immediately disappeared.
Was it possible that there were other means of upgrading Fire Ice’s Tool for Ascension other than absorbing Divine Power from a boss?
Li Yi took Fire Ice to continue their search for more bosses and tried several more times. It was concluded that her Tool for Ascension could not absorb the essence of a boss. To upgrade, she must look for other methods.
However, he was completely ignorant as to what those other methods were, and naturally could not give correct instructions to Fire Ice.
She was on her own.
Li Yi and Fire Ice split up, the former continued killing bosses while the latter ventured on the road alone, looking for the correct way to upgrade her Tool.
Three days pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye. The Divine Power of his Lightning rose to 100 points, and no matter how many bosses he defeated, it could no longer be improved.
Its Divine Power was maxed out.
Li Yi took the fully charged Lightning to the Tower of Remorse and learned the next step of the Ascension Quest from the mouth of a Mysterious Elder, an NPC at the entrance of the Tower.
“You may find your answer in the Tower of Remorse.”
The tips given in relation to the Ascension Quest were masked in secrecy and vague. The rest would depend on the players to explore for themselves, and it could be seen from Fire Ice’s Tool for Ascension that the Ascension Quest composed of different kinds.
The Ascension Quest could not be done in groups. Otherwise, the follow-up mission would not be triggered. Li Yi’s cooldown period on the Remorse Tower had already been reset. Brother Windcloud Nine and the others waited for him to order the team to a.s.semble.
In order to complete the Ascension Quest, Li Yi gave up the opportunity to cooperate and went in alone.
After he entered the Tower, Lightning emitted a hue of turquoise. At the same time, he received a buff called the Thunder G.o.d’s Protection.
[Nullify damage by 99%, SPD increases by 5000 points, ATK by 500%, decreases experience gain by 99%, reduces drop rate by 99%. The buff will be canceled if the Player’s target is attacked by a person other than the Player.]
The Thunder G.o.d’s Protection was a super buff mainly for the quest.
Reducing incoming damage by 99%, rendering him killable by no one. With the increase of SPD by 5000 points, his movement was almost akin to flying.
He could use the super-fast moving speed to go past the gear stage. His one leap was fifty or sixty meters away. Whatever traps and obstacles were ineffective to him.
With the Tool for Ascension, ascending the Tower was a piece of cake!
In just half an hour, Li Yi arrived at the 49th floor. The Protection would last until he left the Tower. Time was of no concern.
Li Yi encountered many players on the way, even Bai Xiaoya, a thorn in his side. He, however, had his own business to attend to, he had no leisure to deal with her.
Bai Xiaoya led a group on a search in the desert map, presumably looking for the target a.s.signed by her quest.
Li Yi took out the Divine Looking Gla.s.s but the winds were not in his favor. He failed to extract any information, whether from Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut or Milky Way Star.
The Divine Looking Gla.s.s stopped working again.
Li Yi tried searching for Ghostly Walker, and the information came out. He was also in the Tower, but he was a few floors lower than Li Yi and was currently on the 33rd floor.
It would seem that to complete the Ascension Quest, it was essential to conquer the Tower of Remorse.
Li Yi walked toward the entrance to the 50th floor as he thought.
He faced no hards.h.i.+ps facing the golden series bosses. The boss would hit him so many times and it took only a few arrows before kicking the bucket.
Li Yi did not receive any rewards when the boss fell, even the red-robed spirit did not appear. There was a portal that was headed toward the lower floors in the middle of the Tower.
Li Yi carried on. As he entered the 65th floor, the Lightning in his backpack gave out a loud buzz all of a sudden.
“Bzzz…”
“Bzzz…”
Li Yi took it in his hand and pointed it to the front.
It was an obvious hint. Li Yi did not hesitate to follow the direction where the Lightning aimed.
The 65th floor was a forest stage. The difficulty was very low. Even if he did not bear the Thunder G.o.d’s Protection, he would have no problem in getting through.
After running for about half an hour, the Lightning stopped giving directions. Instead, it turned and pointed toward the ground.
“Down here?”
Li Yi looked around for a moment and soon found a tree hole.
He saw several vipers with the width of a water bucket upon descending.
It was a snake pit!
Was this something like a scorpion cave?
Li Yi recovered his spirits as he thought of something.
The last trip to a scorpion cave with Sister Cat came out fruitful. In the Tower of Remorse, the paramount issue to him was the Ascension Quest, followed closely by whether he could discover any hidden stage.
“Woosh—”
Li Yi was as quick as the speed of light. He ignored the vipers and ran all the way to the deepest part of the pit.
“Hiss—”
“Hiss—”
He was fast, but the vipers were not slow either, as they were able to follow him in a close pursuit.
There were hundreds and thousands. As Li Yi hit the deepest part of the pit, there were at least tens of thousands of vipers behind him.
“True Overlord Arrow!”
With the Thunder G.o.d’s Protection, he was hardly afraid of anything. The True Overlord Arrow stacked with a 500% ATK bonus immediately made the vipers slowed down.
Only with a dozen arrows and there were only a few left out of the initial tens of thousands of vipers. The common and elites croaked, leaving only some viper bosses that were hostile toward Li Yi.
Li Yi was entangled by several vipers, his neck was strangled to the extent where a constant -1 damage characters showed up on top of his head.
He teleported to evade them, and the vipers immediately fell to the ground from midair. He could teleport, but the vipers wrapped around him could not.
“Shoot at Random!”
“Fizz! Whack! Bang!”
The arrows flew like rain, and the vipers fell at one fell swoop.
The deepest part of the snake pit looked uncannily like a scorpion cave. There was a giant golden anaconda. On its sides, there were a couple of silver treasure chests, one on the left and one on the right.
He was right, this was the watershed of the Quest!
“Time Stinger Arrow!”
“Woosh—”
Without releasing any Water Clone, he directly launched the Time Stinger Arrow. It killed the King of Anacondas in one shot.
A 500% ATK bonus was equivalent to five of him launching Time Stinger Arrows at the same time.
The King of Anacondas died, and the Lightning in his hands once again gave off a turquoise glow. It flew out automatically and stabbed into the body of the King of Anacondas.
“Bzzz…”
In a wave of dense electrical beams, the King of Anacondas turned into a pile of black ashes and disappeared…
“Spark!”
When the Lightning boomeranged to his hands, the value of its Divine Power had also changed.
150 points!
