MMO: Pierce Heaven Til’ It Breaks - Chapter 941

Chapter 941 Beginning of the God Wars

Although the Six-armed Red Macaque was already at Level 200, it only had 100,000HP in total. Its ATK was extremely low too, standing at less than a tenth of Dolly’s.

As he was leveling up the macaque, Li Yi encountered another seventeen Bounty Contract attacks, but just as before, not a single one of them managed to kill him.

He had the Hall of Fame equipment set, Wrath of the Stars, his Legendary Pet Dolly, and his Demon Mercenary Aersith. All of that meant that very few players could stand up to him now.

Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut was still in first place, and The Mountain was still in third. After that, though, the rankings kept changing at a moment’s notice. One person caught Li Yi’s attention, however.

The first-ever Emperor of the Continent in the previous life, Ghostly Walker, had now been in the 21st place for a few days now.

Ghostly Walker had entered the rankings all of a sudden, but he did not place particularly high or low. Instead, he stayed at 21st place, much to Li Yi’s confusion. His rank did not rise, which meant that he had not challenged anyone else, but his rank did not fall either, which meant that every player who challenged him had been defeated.

In the meantime, Shen Lang had been investigating Ghostly Walker, but unfortunately, even the one known as the God of Intel could not discover anything about Ghostly Walker.

He had no friends, no guild, and he did not join any parties either. He had always worked alone, and Shen Lang could not even find out which camp he was from…

In Li Yi’s new home, Starting Point City.

Li Yi transformed into the Six-armed Red Macaque and held the Blademaster Class Change Tool in his hand, hesitating.

He had leveled up his trash monkey pet, not for decorative purposes, but so he could experiment on changing his class to Blademaster while using Beast’s Soul Possession.

Li Yi had no idea if it would succeed like his Lightning Leopard had. After all, if the class change failed, that would mean losing his Sharpshooter class altogether. That was too much of a price for him to pay.

He had gotten used to the Archer class. If he switched to another now… Li Yi could not even stand the thought of it.

“I wonder if it’ll work…”

Li Yi could not decide even after a good long while.

Probably as a result of his absorbing the Ancient Thunder God’s power, Li Yi’s Beast’s Soul Possession could now last a whopping 5 minutes instead of the initial several dozen seconds.

That was no easy feat even among all the other transformation skills.

The five minutes passed in a flash, and Li Yi’s transformation was automatically undone. He would have to wait for another five minutes if he wanted to transform again.

“F*ck, let’s just do it!”

Li Yi held the Blademaster Class Change Tool and made up his mind.

The next five minutes dragged on, but once it was over, Li Yi transformed into the Six-armed Macaque again and used his Blademaster Class Change Tool.

[Are you sure you want to change classes?]

[Yes!]

The Blademaster Class Change Tool shone with a bright white light that lit up the entire room.

…

All four God Wars events were now live, and now they just had to wait for the 100-day period to pass before the Pantheon Mystery expansion pack was introduced and the God Wars would officially begin.

While the players were participating in the God Wars events, they could already guess from the hints in the NPCs’ dialogues that the appearance of Wings of the Sky was actually a ploy set up by the Pantheon. The gods up high had only ever had one aim, and that was to destroy all living things in the Pantheon Continent, destroying the world to start anew.

The God Wars events proceeded at full speed, and the rankings changed every day. Billions of players were fighting for a hundred places, so the battle was as harsh as expected.

Only players who reached the Top 100 of the God Wars earned the right to have the Title of God.

There were now only three days left until the end of the God Wars events!

On that day, some stunning incidents took place. The first of these was that the player in first place, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut, was defeated by a ‘mysterious player’. Her rank dropped, and Li Yi climbed one position from second to first.

Another unknown player also caught up, climbing from the Top 30 to the Top 10.

The God Wars Competition was almost over, so the players let loose and began to do everything they could to rise up the ranks.

There was only one exception. Ghostly Walker maintained his position around the 20th place mark. He never challenged anyone of his own accord, but everyone who challenged him lost without exception.

The change in the rankings did not affect Li Yi. Instead, he kept training the four girls every day, and he even ran dungeons with them occasionally. Aside from that, he only accepted challenges from others, and he never challenged anyone himself.

Two more days passed in the blink of an eye. 15 hours before the God Wars events were scheduled to end, the God Wars Rankings changed dramatically.

Li Yi, who had been in first place, was forced down to third place, and Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut, who was in second, dropped to fifth. The Mountain, who had been in third, rose one rank to second place, and everyone else saw their rankings change as well. Many players who had been loitering around the 20th place mark rose suddenly, kicking the players at the top down.

The God Wars Rankings were determined by their point tallies. While Li Yi was in first place, he did not hunt down others to boost his score, and he only earned points from the challengers who lost to him. That was why it was no surprise that his rank fell.

The only player whose rank did not change was Ghostly Walker. He was still at 21st place, as he had always been.

…

At the foot of Mount Pantheon, Li Yi accepted his Bounty Contract quest.

The player who was currently in first place did not reveal their name, so the only thing Li Yi knew was that they were a Weapon Warrior. This person had killed Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut several times, lowering her rank to fifth place.

The Weapon Warrior at first place had 30 points more than Li Yi. Right now, Li Yi just had to improve his score slightly via Heavenly Favor and he would able to cement his position at the top of the table.

However, Li Yi did not do so. Instead, he chose a simpler and rougher approach, which was to hunt others down!

If he killed a player whose position was higher than his, he would be able to surpass them in an instant. Killing players lower than him would increase his score, until he eventually surpassed the players who were higher-ranked than him.

“Teleport!”

Li Yi held his Bounty Contract and activated the teleportation ability.

“Whoosh—”

Li Yi appeared at a valley in the Southern Continent. Ahead of him, not far away, there was a Weapon Warrior wearing a Horn Helmet that covered their entire face, swinging their blade as they killed a Level 200 purple-named boss, the White Rhino King.

When the bounty target was engaged in battle, the challenger was not allowed to ambush them. They could only officially engage their target in battle after the target had been out of battle for five minutes.

The White Rhino King had 1 billion HP, and it was one of the rarest bosses in the Southern Continent, only spawning once every three to four months. The White Rhino King did not drop any equipment either, only rare materials.

The masked Weapon Warrior did not seem to sense Li Yi’s arrival, focusing solely on fighting the White Rhino King.

The Weapon Warrior’s figure looked familiar to Li Yi, and when Li Yi saw the weapon they were holding, his eyes narrowed instantly.

That weapon was completely black, broad and heavy, its surface shining vaguely with a black light. It was none other than the strongest weapon that the First Demon God Genghis could drop — Dragonslayer!
