Reincarnation Of The Strongest Sword God

Chapter 975 – Famous across the Eternal Realm

In a withered forest outside Shadowring Town…

“Tiankuo, what’s going on? We just got back to Shadowring Town. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?” Cyanic Jewel, a Level 240 female Cleric with an elegant look, asked the Level 240 young man carrying a draconic shield sitting beside her.

As Jun Tiankuo, the Level 240 Shield Warrior, urged his Twin-Headed Dragon to fly faster, he explained, “A friend of mine in Zero Wing messaged me saying that Guild Leader Black Flame led a group of experts to Evil Sky City. It seems he intends to avenge the Zero Wing members who got killed by the Ominous Cavalry while leveling.”

“Is he crazy? That’s a royal power’s headquarters!” Cyanic Jewel was shocked to learn about Shi Feng’s actions. “Tiankuo, don’t tell me you’re going to help him?”

Since parting ways with Shi Feng in the Flame Dragon God’s Nest, Jun Tiankuo had researched the other party in depth and set the other party as his goal. As soon as he reached Level 240, he even traversed the Eternal Realm’s treacherous entrance and threw himself to the frontlines of the war to temper himself, all so that he could challenge Shi Feng one day.

By the time they reached Shadowring Town, Jun Tiankuo had already climbed to 45th on the Eternal Chosen One Ranking List. However, although he wanted to challenge Shi Feng right away, Shi Feng was absent from the town, so they could only settle for the next best thing: clashing with the Holy Race’s experts operating in the World Ark’s core area.

It wasn’t until recently that they learned Shi Feng had returned to Shadowring Town. Yet, in the short time it took them to return to the town, Shi Feng had already left to attack Evil Sky City. In Cyanic Jewel’s opinion, Shi Feng was absolutely deranged.

Of course, with Jun Tiankuo’s personality, she knew he would not let Shi Feng die in Evil Sky City.

“Naturally,” Jun Tiankuo answered firmly. Then, a hint of worry flashed in his eyes as he continued, “I hope we can make it there in time. From what I heard, Fist Emperor, the 19th-ranked Chosen One, is in Evil Sky City. With his presence and Evil Sky City’s defenses, Zero Wing is likely in danger.”

“I really wonder what’s going through Guild Leader Black Flame’s head. What gives him the courage to attack a royal power’s headquarters?” Cyanic Jewel muttered, pinching the bridge of her nose.

The other youths riding the Twin-Headed Dragon nodded in agreement. They thought Shi Feng was insane. After all, Zero Wing was nothing more than an upstart Guild in the Eternal Realm. Yet, rather than trying to protect what little territory Zero Wing had left in the World Ark, Shi Feng had decided to attack a royal power. Not even lunatics would dare to do such a thing.

When the Twin-Headed Dragon flew within 20,000 yards of Evil Sky City, a pillar of light suddenly rose in the distance, startling Jun Tiankuo and his companions.

“What the hell happened to Evil Sky City?!” When the light encompassing Evil Sky City faded, Cyanic Jewel’s eyes widened in shock.

As an Advanced Guild City, Evil Sky City had a stable population of over ten million players. It occupied an area over ten times larger than Shadowring Town’s and had robust defenses that even apex powers would have difficulty breaking. But now, a bottomless pit had devoured most of Evil Sky City. Even the few buildings that survived were severely damaged.

If not for their team having passed by Evil Sky City multiple times before, Cyanic Jewel would even have suspected the city before them used to be a monster-infested city rather than a Guild City operated by Evil Nature.

…

Cyanic Jewel and the rest of Jun Tiankuo’s team weren’t the only ones shocked by the state of Evil Sky City. Fist Emperor, who was brought back to life by a powerful resurrection tool, and the surviving players in Evil Sky City were also shocked. They had no idea what had happened for Evil Sky City to be reduced to such a state.

At this moment, less than 100,000 players remained in Evil Sky City, which used to house over ten million players. Furthermore, out of the several hundred thousand Evil Nature members garrisoning the city, only Fist Emperor and some Evil Nature members stationed at the city’s fringes remained alive…

“Black! Flame!” Fist Emperor bellowed as he glared at Shi Feng. “You will pay for this!”

Evil Sky City was Evil Nature’s headquarters in the Eternal Realm. It was the future of Evil Nature’s development in the Eternal Realm. But now, the city had fallen while under his supervision. Several hundred thousand Evil Nature members also suffered true deaths. Even Frostclaw was among the casualties. Outside of clashes with other royal powers, Evil Nature had never suffered a loss on such a scale against any other power.

Most importantly, Evil Nature could not construct a new Guild City within a short period. This meant that Evil Nature’s members would have to take shelter in the various NPC Cities when the Void Beast Tide occurred, putting the Guild in direct competition with the Holy Race’s other powers. Evil Nature might even have to fight other royal powers over these NPC Cities.

To make matters worse, it wasn’t any of the human race’s apex powers that had destroyed Evil Sky City but an upstart Guild that had some success in the Eternal Realm. This was an absolute humiliation for Evil Nature.

After Fist Emperor finished speaking, he promptly took out a Holy Stone from his bag, transformed into a streak of light, and disappeared into the horizon.

Seeing this, the surviving players in Evil Sky City snapped out of their daze and began to flee in all directions, none daring to linger in the fallen city.

It had taken Firmament only one attack to bring Evil Nature’s headquarters to ruin. Such a terrifying attack was not something players could hope to survive. Although nobody knew whether Zero Wing could afford to use the same attack again, nobody was dumb enough to try their luck.

In less than ten seconds, no players remained in Evil Sky City.

…

Shortly after the fall of Evil Sky City, news of it spread across the Eternal Realm like wildfire.

“What did you say? Evil Sky City has fallen?”

“You’re saying Zero Wing was behind the attack?”

“Investigate! Mobilize all our spies in the World Ark! I want to know every detail of this matter!”

When the three races’ various powers received this news, their first reaction was to deem it false information. After all, this was a royal power’s headquarters they were talking about. Even two royal powers working together might not necessarily be able to bring it down, let alone a single upstart Guild.

However, as more information on the situation became available, the various powers had no choice but to accept that Evil Sky City had indeed fallen. At the same time, they couldn’t help but grow fearful of the Guild called Zero Wing.

…

“Sis, Evil Nature sure has some rotten luck. I wonder what Black Flame did to ruin Evil Nature’s headquarters? Regardless, we’ve lucked out this time,” Chalk Splendor laughed after reading the report he just received. “Those Evil Nature bastards used to mock me for losing the Sunlight Blade. Now that they’ve lost their headquarters, I’d like to see how they can continue making fun of me.”

“Okay, don’t get too excited. Do you have any idea how many strings I had to pull to get you out of trouble?” Daystar said, glaring at her younger brother. Then, she returned her gaze to the battle video playing on her desk, a hint of fear flashing in her eyes as she continued, “Not even top-tier Epic Siege Weapons can destroy a Threefold World Wall enhanced by an Ancestor’s Heart. It seems everyone has been underestimating Zero Wing a little too much.”

…

World Ark, Blood Curse Resurrection Camp:

“Rainbow, did you hear the news?!” Frey asked excitedly as she rushed into the Advanced Tent occupied by Verdant Rainbow. “Guild Leader Black Flame captured Evil Sky City and killed most of the Evil Nature members in it! Aside from Fist Emperor, the rest of the Ancient God-ranked experts recalled from the frontlines were eliminated! He even annihilated the Ominous Cavalry!”
