Chapter 1
Hearing the Void Association President's words, the Lawful Good demi-gods all looked at the Goddess of Beauty, hoping to hear an affirmative answer from her.

The Goddess of Beauty sighed, "There are only three evil demi-gods in the First District. Night Emperor sleeps for decades, Gunther ● Ray is hiding on his island playing with aberrant beasts, and Old Mike is a real drunkard, and he's very wary of me."

The Lawful Good demi-gods' expectations turned to disappointment. What good are you then!

President Xuan wrung his hands in dismay. "Besides sleeping with the Night Emperor, you can't do anything right."

He turned his head and scanned the serious expressions of the Lawful Good demi-gods. "You all know the characteristics of the Alcoholsmancer profession, so I won't say much. This guy and I are old rivals. He has a rule-based Dao artifact that is an extension of the Dionysus authority, called the Twisted Realm. Everything in the Twisted Realm is reversed, and spells are also distorted. In that world, Old Mike is invincible. Demigod-level powerhouses who are trapped in it will have their minds gradually distorted after more than half an hour. Once that happens, escape is impossible."

"And once the Twisted Realms merge, even a demi-god will surely die. To break the Twisted Realm, you must have enough output, like the Marshal's sword, but I don't recommend her to fight. High output is a condition for breaking the Twisted Realm, but not a condition for defeating Old Mike. High-output glass cannons, high-HP super tanks, super-healing shamans, and high-burst warriors are not recommended to fight."

"To defeat Old Mike, you must have high enough output, super resistance to negative buffs, and powerful vitality or healing abilities. Don't think about using items to make up for your weaknesses. At our level, unless you can bring out a ninth-level rule-based item, you can barely get on the stage."

His words silenced the Lawful Good demi-gods.

The Liu family demi-god examined the Void Association President. "Why don't you go? With your current strength, you can crush the Dionysus."

Anyway, everyone only has one chance to play. The best allocation is for you and Shura to win one match each, offsetting each other.

Letting Void fight Shura is not safe. You… because the former is not confident of winning Shura, if you lose to Shura, the Lawful Good camp will fall behind by one game.

Fu Qingxuan suddenly said, "Let the Star Lord play."

She looked at the Lawful Good demi-gods who frowned and said calmly, "The Alcoholsmancer's chaos, reversal, disorder, and numbing abilities can all be countered by the power of the Sun God. In terms of melee combat, the Day Wanderer is enough. In terms of recovery ability, the Day Wanderer is enough."

"The Star Lord can restrain the Dionysus. He has the greatest chance of winning. Most importantly, even if he loses, we can waive one death."

The demi-gods' brows gradually relaxed, and they looked at the Taiyi Sect Leader, who was wearing a starlight robe and had bright eyes.

The Taiyi Sect Leader pondered for a few seconds, the starlight in his eyes flickering, as if he was deducing. After a few seconds, he nodded and said, "Alright!"

Shushan, the plaza outside the main hall. Relying only on Daybreak and the Fierce Sun God, I would be killed by it. I must make reasonable use of the power of items...

Item Celestial Zhang Yuanqing dispersed the golden sun behind his head, retaining only the Fierce Sun God form.

The Fierce Sun God emitting golden light can also suppress enemies and restrain Yin objects, but the effect is greatly reduced.

Losing Daybreak's suppression, the auras of the three Shushan powerhouses instantly soared, and Yin energy rushed out of their bodies, turning into twisted black smoke. Sword qi hissed and escaped, bursting the surrounding floor.

"Set up the formation!"

The Shushan Sect Leader transmitted mental fluctuations to the two elders.

The two elders moved like ghosts, flashing and disappearing, and came to Zhang Yuanqing's left and right, forming an equilateral triangle with the Shushan Sect Leader, surrounding Zhang Yuanqing.

Within the triangle, sword qi crisscrossed, and murderous intent overflowed.

Zhang Yuanqing, with dark gold skin and a golden sun emblem between his eyebrows, collapsed into starlight in the crisscrossing sword qi. The starlight rose a dozen meters away.

Zhang Yuanqing grabbed Little Red Riding Hood's shawl and shook it gently, shaking out more than a dozen Saint-stage Yin corpses.

The Yin corpses scattered, two by two, hiding under the eaves of the houses and halls... quickly concealing themselves.

One of the red-eyed, beautiful women did not scatter, but stood on the edge of the square. In the process, Zhang Yuanqing condensed bows and arrows with the power of the Sun God. The bows and arrows forced back the three Shushan powerhouses who were chasing after him. After summoning the Yin corpses to hide, Zhang Yuanqing spat out three Taiyin forces to transform into three Sovereign-level spirit servants.

After the three elders of the Southern School appeared, the powerhouses looked around in surprise.

The concentration of Yin energy here was shocking. The master who opened the Fierce Sun God form was like a golden candlelight in the darkness. Although bright and dazzling, it could not change the overwhelming Yin energy environment.

Zhang Yuanqing opened his inventory and threw the double-barreled shotgun to the charming Sixth Elder, and instructed, "Catch!"

The Yin corpse Sixth Elder took the double-barreled shotgun. After reading the item attributes, she immediately understood her master's meaning and quickly floated into the distance.

"You two go too!" Zhang Yuanqing instructed. The Seventh Elder and Eleventh Elder did not ask any more questions and immediately chased after the Ninth Elder.

During the communication between master and servant, the Shushan Sect Leader threw the rusty iron sword in his hand. With a "whoosh" sound, the iron sword turned into a cold light, and wind and thunder roared.

Sword Control Technique!

Three strands of purple-golden liquid flew out from the void around Zhang Yuanqing and quickly wrapped around his body, forming a heavy armor.

Facing the menacing iron sword, he didn't dodge at all, and clasped his hands together, forcibly grasping the cold light. With a "crack," the iron sword was directly broken by him.

The sword qi inside lost its carrier and shot in all directions. The Shushan Sect Leader stepped on the Big Dipper, pointed his fingers like a sword, and his mental fluctuations surged. "Rise!"

In the main hall behind him, which was two meters tall, there was a "rumbling" loud noise. A long bronze sword crashed through the hall door and stood in the air.

The Shushan Sect Leader pointed his sword finger. "斩! (Zhan!)"

The three-meter-long bronze sword slashed out a terrifying sword light that could destroy everything.

Zhang Yuanqing didn't dare to fight head-on. He snapped his fingers like a metal collision, and before the sword qi slashed down, he turned into starlight and scattered.

Where he had stood, a ravine more than ten meters long and bottomless was cracked.

Starlight rose in front of the Shushan Sect Leader. In the brilliant light, only a fist with sharp thorns on the knuckles struck out, making a crackling sound like a gun head tapping the air.

The Shushan Sect Leader slapped forward. When the fist and palm collided, the Shushan Sect Leader's palm instantly shattered. Zhang Yuanqing staggered back, and the metal gauntlet covering his right fist exploded into purple-golden liquid.

Even if he activated the Fierce Sun God skill and had the purple-golden suit, his strength was still far inferior to the Shushan Sect Leader in the late eighth level. Sword qi attacked from behind. Two Shushan elders silently attached themselves, one stabbing his heart and the other beheading him.

Zhang Yuanqing raised his head and let out a sharp whistle.

The two Shushan powerhouses only trembled and then recovered, unaffected.

They retained most of their skills from when they were alive, including the swordsman's iron will and the illusionist's mental attacks, making it difficult to severely injure the opponent's soul.

Moreover, after being transformed into Yin corpses, their souls were sublimated and became even more powerful. However, taking advantage of the three people's stalling gap, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon "roared" and approached, its cheeks bulging, and sprayed golden magma at one of the elders.

Silver Spoon Princess used Star Evasion to block the other person's path. Her Yin energy was surging, and she pushed out dozens of Spirit Sealing Talismans. These talismans, which did not specifically restrain Yin objects, made her dare not resist. She flashed and moved in the sky full of talismans, fully demonstrating the scout's insight.

The Shushan Sect Leader, whose palm was broken, pointed his sword finger in the air, and the bronze sword in the distance slashed down again. This time, it was not Zhang Yuanqing who was slashed, but Silver Spoon Princess.

Zhang Yuanqing raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and the sword qi that destroyed everything instantly lost seventy to eighty percent of its power, and then was reduced by another one-tenth by the Fierce Sun God and the golden light.

When it slashed Silver Spoon, its power was less than one-tenth, and she easily shattered it with a clenched fist.

The Shushan Sect Leader, whose palm was broken, approached Zhang Yuanqing like a ghost. The latter took a step back and opened a distance of a hundred meters. Unexpectedly, the Shushan Sect Leader arrived in an instant, his sword fingers like afterimages, repeatedly pointing at his chest, forehead, and joints.

The Shushan Sect Leader clenched his right hand! The armor on Zhang Yuanqing's body exploded into countless purple-golden water droplets, and his dark golden skin cracked.

After discovering that the young Night Watcher also practiced mind magic, the Shushan Sect Leader chose close combat. The sword qi was contained and not released, so it would not be resolved.

The Shushan Sect Leader struck while the iron was hot, pointing a finger at Zhang Yuanqing's forehead. At this moment, on the edge of the square not far away, a Yin corpse stood up, raised a double-barreled shotgun, and aimed the barrel at the Shushan Sect Leader, pulling the trigger.

Bang!

The muzzle spewed flames.

Zhang Yuanqing poked his index finger and middle finger, turning the trajectory into nothingness, allowing the bullet to directly hit the Shushan Sect Leader's chest. With a "boom," two charred holes burst out, and raging flames窜chuanqi(sprang up).

At the same time, the Yin corpse that pulled the trigger fell apart and was directly shattered by the recoil of the double-barreled shotgun.

The Southern School Ninth Elder floated out and leaned over another Yin corpse. That Yin corpse picked up the double-barreled shotgun and loaded bullets.

The Shushan Sect Leader pointed his sword finger and slashed the bronze sword towards the Yin corpse in the distance, and the brilliant sword qi tore the Yin corpse's body apart.

Zhang Yuanqing did not help Ninth Elder resist the attack. This was originally the bait he released. Taking advantage of the Shushan Sect Leader's attention being drawn to the double-barreled shotgun and Ninth Elder, he opened his inventory, grabbed the shiny Thunder Spear, and threw it with all his might.

"Buzz ~"

In a flash of electric light, the Thunder Spear pierced the Shushan Sect Leader's head.

He was lucky enough to activate the "貫穿 (Guan Chuan - Penetration)" function.

In the unwilling and angry "roar," he vanished and completed his transcendence.

Then, with the assistance of Silver Spoon Princess and the three spirit servants, Zhang Yuanqing transcended the other two elders, allowing all members of Shushan to gather neatly at the sect.

Finally, he looked at the silent main hall and took out the tortoise shell. Solving the boss in the coffin can collect the Sacrificial Offering Set, clear the dungeon, and step into the ninth level. The more this is the time, the more cautious he is.

Next, he may have to face enemies at the early or even mid-ninth level alone.

He must have thorough preparations before he can go to fight the boss.
