Chapter 1 Black Magic Space

The Black Magic Space's black magic people offered very generous experience points. With so many of them around, Golden Earth Dragon and Shadow Demon Wolf were continuously grinding, practically without stopping. One could imagine how astonishing their leveling speed was.

Light-Dark Sacred Dragon and Violet-Eyed Earth Dragon were slowly developing their combat abilities. Once they were completely strong, their leveling speed would reach a new level.

There were just too many level 180 black magic people. Golden Earth Dragon and Shadow Demon Wolf were finding it difficult to advance. If Nie Yan were to grind on his own, the speed would be too slow, so he simply lingered around this area.

Two days passed, and with a flash of light, Nie Yan was teleported outside the Black Magic Space.

Outside the Black Magic Space, players from the two major camps were engaged in fierce battles, with war raging everywhere. Nie Yan didn't participate. Instead, he used Gale Step to dodge and, after a dozen seconds, entered the Black Magic Space once again.

After entering the Black Magic Space, he still had to start grinding from scratch, but that was fine. He just had to grind his way along the bridge.

Time passed day by day. The players wandering outside the Black Magic Space changed batch after batch, but Nie Yan still didn't leave. He spent a full half-month grinding in the Black Magic Space, raising his level to 160. Finally, Nie Yan brought Light-Dark Sacred Dragon to level 130. At this point, Light-Dark Sacred Dragon's abilities were equivalent to a level 200 Golden Earth Dragon, and its powerful might began to show.

Nie Yan entered the Black Magic Space once more and handed over all the Black Magic Fragments he had collected to Gaul, receiving about 3% experience in return.

"Respected Mister Nie Yan, you have submitted 16,253 Black Magic Fragments, currently ranking 226th. You have not yet passed the Black Magic Space level," Angel Gaul said.

Hearing Gaul's words, Nie Yan was slightly puzzled. Could it be that obtaining first place came with some special reward? Since Black Magic Fragments couldn't be traded, every single one was obtained through his own grinding. He had been grinding for half a month, and he was only ranked 226th. He wondered how many Black Magic Fragments the person in first place had submitted.

Ignoring these thoughts, Nie Yan continued leveling. Light-Dark Sacred Dragon, having just advanced to level 130, had just learned the Aurora Art skill. He wondered how effective this skill was.

Under Nie Yan's command, several pets charged forward. Light-Dark Sacred Dragon's level was currently too low, so it couldn't tank monsters yet. Therefore, it only released magic from behind.

Light-Dark Sacred Dragon chanted a few spells. In the sky, countless white light spots gathered towards Light-Dark Sacred Dragon.

The air was filled with restless holy light magic elements.

Guardian Angel Karenna waved her staff, adding several holy light blessing skills to Light-Dark Sacred Dragon.

At this moment, Light-Dark Sacred Dragon's entire body emitted a dazzling white light, just like those angels, filled with holy power. It opened its mouth and spewed out a thick aurora, which shot forward. This aurora was a dozen yards wide and five to six hundred yards long, instantly piercing through all the black magic people in a line.

Those black magic people let out miserable screams in the white light, with damage numbers of fifty to sixty thousand floating above their heads. Five seconds, seven seconds, nine seconds, the Aurora Art still hadn't stopped.

One after another, black magic people dissipated in the white light, turning into nothingness.

A full ten seconds later, the Aurora Art finally stopped. Nie Yan looked forward and was dumbfounded. The bridge, for a distance of about five to six hundred yards, was completely empty, with Black Magic Fragments scattered all over the ground.

Such a long distance, there must have been at least ten thousand level 160 elite black magic people! Just like that, they were all gone? This Aurora Art was simply an excellent skill for leveling in the Black Magic Space! It was better than any forbidden spell. Forbidden spells took a long time to prepare, and although the range was very large, on this bridge, it could only hurt a portion of the black magic people. Moreover, forbidden spells took one to two months to cool down, while this Aurora Art only had a cooldown of half an hour! And the damage was simply terrifying!

This one hit increased Nie Yan's experience points by nearly 0.2%. After level 160, the experience required to level up was 580 times that of level 156, but one magic skill still increased it by 0.2%. What an astonishing speed!

Releasing Aurora Art once every half hour, one could gain about 6% experience in a day. Adding the fact that several pets had become stronger, one could also get about 5% experience in a day, adding up to 11%. One could level up every ten days. Such a speed was simply astounding!

Soon, Nie Yan entered the second stage. The first stage was level 160 to 180 elites, and the second stage was level 160 to 180 mutated elites. The black magic people's health had increased five to six times, and the pressure had increased again. However, in this stage, the drop rate of Black Magic Fragments was also higher. Just submitting Black Magic Fragments could earn a lot of experience points.

After grinding for two days, Nie Yan retreated again and then continued to enter and repeat the process.

Repeatedly like this, after the tenth day, another crisp system notification sounded. Nie Yan leveled up to 161.

Day after day of monotonous leveling, if other players were to level like this, they would probably be annoyed to death. In terms of perseverance, Nie Yan considered himself quite good.

During the day, he would travel around with Xie Yao, enjoying the scenery. At night, he would come back and continue leveling. Time passed day by day. For him, this ordinary and simple life was also a great enjoyment. Only those who had died knew how precious life was! Moreover, Nie Yan had died twice, and his state of mind was completely different from before.

Once again, he appeared at the entrance of the Black Magic Space. Nie Yan had Light-Dark Sacred Dragon use several group attack magic skills to clear out all the black magic people at the entrance. A beam of white light descended on Light-Dark Sacred Dragon.

Light-Dark Sacred Dragon leveled up again!

Nie Yan excitedly glanced at Light-Dark Sacred Dragon's level, 150!

This was a crucial milestone!

He glanced at Light-Dark Sacred Dragon's skill bar. Aurora Art had leveled up, its range had increased by 30%, its attack power had increased by 50%, and its cooldown time had been reduced to 25 minutes.

In addition, it had learned several new skills, all of which were group attack magic.

One was a dark magic skill similar to Aurora Art, Dark Penetration.

It was said that every holy light magic skill had a similar dark magic skill. It seemed that this saying was based on fact.

He wondered how effective Dark Penetration was. Nie Yan couldn't help but think.

Under Nie Yan's control, Light-Dark Sacred Dragon stood behind Shadow Demon Wolf and began chanting spells. Waves of deathly dark aura emanated from Light-Dark Sacred Dragon's body. A black aura, like a giant python, charged straight ahead, filled with death and darkness.

In just a moment, corpses were scattered all over the ground five to six hundred yards ahead. All the black magic people had turned into piles of bones.

Terrifying magic! Nie Yan thought with a bit of fear. These two skills could be used alternately, it was too awesome!

As he expected, with Light-Dark Sacred Dragon helping him level, the leveling speed was indeed astonishing.

Golden Earth Dragon and Violet-Eyed Earth Dragon were both melee types. Even if their monster grinding speed was fast, it was very limited. But Light-Dark Sacred Dragon was different. It was the most powerful magic-type earth dragon creature! And its growth was so high. Once it grew up, it would be truly invincible. Light-Dark Sacred Dragon's monster grinding speed might not be much worse than that of Tang Yao and other top magic instructors! It was just that its level was still a bit low, unable to grind those too high-level monsters.

After Light-Dark Sacred Dragon reached level 150, there was basically nothing for Golden Earth Dragon, Violet-Eyed Earth Dragon, and Shadow Demon Wolf to do. They were only responsible for Light-Dark Sacred Dragon's safety. Light-Dark Sacred Dragon's magic continuously spewed out, and corpses littered the ground all the way.

Taking Light-Dark Sacred Dragon, he cleared the second stage as well. After spending nearly a day and a half, Nie Yan finally reached the end of the Black Magic Space. It was a lighthouse floating in the void, built of stone. In the lighthouse, there was a torch that was emitting a faint light. Entering the interior of the lighthouse, on the central square stone platform, there was a huge crystal ball. Nie Yan stroked the crystal ball, and a dazzling light flashed.

System: You have arrived at the Black Magic Lighthouse, recording time 25 hours 32 minutes. The best record is 5 hours 21 minutes, record holder, Feng Ming.

System: You have obtained Resurrection Crystal, quantity 1.

After completing the task, he was actually rewarded with a Resurrection Crystal. Resurrection Crystals were a good thing for players, mainly because they were rare. After all, it was common for flying mounts and magic sprites to die. A Resurrection Crystal was worth at least tens of thousands, which was a pretty good reward.

If he broke the record, he might get some good things. Nie Yan felt a bit of anticipation. He wondered what method Feng Ming, who had completed it in under five hours, had used, and what he had gotten in the end.

Nie Yan exited the Black Magic Space and continued to repeatedly grind the Black Magic Space. The second time he completed it, the time was 13 hours 32 minutes. After consciously speeding up, Nie Yan no longer wasted time on the way, charging forward at a very rapid speed, and the time was greatly shortened. The second time, he obtained a Dark Emerald Gem, which was used for embedding equipment, and was estimated to be worth tens of thousands of gold coins.

The third time, the completion time was 12 hours 22 minutes, but he didn't get anything. The official website said that each player could only get rewards a few times at most. Completing it in two days, completing it in one day, breaking someone else's record, it was said that the reward for breaking the record was the most generous, while the previous two times were just token rewards.

Thinking about it, it made sense. If every time he passed the Black Magic Space, he could get a reward, he didn't know how many people would be constantly grinding here every day.

The things he got in the previous two times were also pretty good. He wondered what the reward would be after breaking the record. Completing the Black Magic Space in five hours, that player named Feng Ming was not simple. That guy was the number one expert in the Satreen Empire in his previous life. It was a pity that Guo Huai didn't recruit him into the Niu Ren Tribe.

Completing it within five hours wasn't impossible either. Nie Yan thought about it. He could level up in the Black Magic Space until level 180. He would be staying here for a long time, so he could take his time.
