Chapter 1 A Flickering Thought

Countless thoughts flashed through Nie Yan's mind. What link was missing? Did he have to kill all the Shadow Demon Lords to complete the mission?

But how was that possible! How could anyone at the current stage kill so many Shadow Demon Lords!

Just as Nie Yan thought he was doomed, the Guardian Angel Karuna on his left shoulder suddenly waved her staff, and a white shield magic completely protected Nie Yan, relieving the pressure on him.

It was Karuna's protection!

Nie Yan finally took a breath and glanced at the Guardian Angel Karuna on his left shoulder. He almost died this time.

Nie Yan tentatively continued to walk a distance forward, confirmed that there was no danger, and walked towards the throne in front.

System: You have discovered the Throne of the God of Death.

The throne in front, made of some unknown metal, was actually the legendary Throne of the God of Death.

The throne was empty. Legend had it that the God of Death and the God of Light had perished together. Nie Yan's gaze moved down from the throne and looked at the bottom of the throne. Beside the throne on the ground was a small black box. The box was made of wood, without any carvings on the outside, and looked simple and unadorned.

Nie Yan didn't know what was in the box. He picked up the box. It wasn't locked. The box seemed to exude a strange aura.

Nie Yan slowly opened the box, and a black skull appeared in his sight. His heart skipped a beat. This black skull was similar to a human skull, and its entire body glowed with a shimmering black light, as if it were made of black crystal. A large red gem was inlaid on the top of the skull's forehead. In the eye sockets, there were actually two eyeballs, scanning back and forth, its mouth moving slightly, making a sharp, grating sound, as if it were alive.

It was the Skull of the God of Death he was looking for!

He got it! Nie Yan closed the box and was about to leave when he suddenly realized that the Random Teleport Scroll couldn't be used!

Just as he was in doubt, the entire hall suddenly shook violently, and terrifying cracks quickly covered the entire hall. The building was about to collapse!

Nie Yan quickly darted towards the outside. He had to run out first!

All movement speed was released, and he rushed into the narrow tunnel at an extremely fast speed.

Boom, boom, boom. The sound of buildings collapsing came from the hall behind.

In less than half a minute, Nie Yan rushed out of the tunnel. Looking ahead, fifty or sixty Shadow Demon Lords were running away in all directions.

They seemed to have sensed something powerful, and their hearts were filled with fear.

It was a good thing they didn't block him, otherwise, he would have been finished!

Looking ahead, he saw a thick white pillar of light descending into this dark world from the high sky tens of thousands of yards away, piercing through the endless darkness.

It was the teleportation gate back!

Nie Yan was overjoyed. Although the time for the next teleportation gate to open had not yet arrived, as long as he got the Skull of the God of Death, Nie Yan's mission would be completed, and Archangel Tyrael would open the teleportation gate for him.

Nie Yan ran forward five or six hundred yards, only to see the ground shaking violently. The bone mountain behind him completely collapsed, and a huge creature crawled out of the pile of bones. It was a huge skeletal creature.

This behemoth was at least a hundred yards tall. In comparison, the Shadow Demon Lord was nothing. That guy could flatten a Shadow Demon Lord with one foot.

He threw a Super Identification at it.

Skeletal Demon Lord: Level 300 Lord.

It crawled out of the accumulated corpses, locked its eyes on Nie Yan, who was running wildly, and let out a deafening roar.

Seeing this guy, Nie Yan was scared out of his wits. The whirlwind caused by the Skeletal Demon Lord's roar almost blew him away!

Nie Yan felt that a gloomy gaze had locked onto him. This feeling chilled him to the bone. Damn it, who could deal with such a terrifying Boss? Running tens of thousands of yards away from under its nose was also an impossible task!

What level was this mission? 5S level?

What Nie Yan didn't know was that the original difficulty of this mission was not so high. It was just that after the opening of the Temple of Chaos and the Sword of the God of War during the three years he had disappeared, the system had strengthened the difficulty of this mission, which was simply impossible for his level to complete.

First, there were dense level 180 elites and Lords. You couldn't survive here without level 200. Then, there was a large group of level 210 Shadow Demon Lords. Even if level 210 or level 220 players came here, they might not be able to clear them all.

It was already a miracle that Nie Yan had reached this point and obtained the Skull of the God of Death.

Seeing the Skeletal Demon Lord, Nie Yan didn't even have the heart to compete with it. PK-ing with a level 300 Lord was simply courting death! Even if he ran, Nie Yan's speed was far from enough!

There were at least eighty or ninety huge flying creatures circling in the sky. Summoning a Ghost Dragon to escape from the sky would definitely be a dead end.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Nie Yan. With his strength, competing with the Skeletal Demon Lord was simply courting death, but he wasn't without a way to deal with the Skeletal Demon Lord. At least he still had two Krow Stones!

Nie Yan reached into his backpack, took out the Krow Stones, and crushed them with a snap.

The Skeletal Demon Lord had just locked onto Nie Yan and was about to kill him with one blow when suddenly, an even more fierce and powerful aura swept over, causing it to stop in surprise.

The tall God of War Krow appeared in Nie Yan's sight. Nie Yan was originally worried that the God of War Krow would not be able to enter this map. Seeing the God of War Krow, Nie Yan breathed a sigh of relief. He was finally safe.

"Your Highness Krow, hello." Nie Yan greeted and glanced at the Skeletal Demon Lord behind him. The Skeletal Demon Lord was indeed standing there motionless.

The God of War Krow's gaze fell on Nie Yan, and then he looked at the Skeletal Demon Lord in front. He smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Nie Yan, it seems you need my help."

"Yes." Nie Yan nodded.

"I can't help you complete the mission, but the content of your mission is to obtain the Skull of the God of Death, which doesn't seem to include this guy. Okay, I can help you kill it, you leave quickly." The God of War Krow pondered for a moment and said.

Nie Yan thought about it. The God of War Krow did say that back then. Nie Yan's mission was only the Skull of the God of Death, and he had already obtained it. This could be considered a loophole, but because the previous conditions were difficult to define, the system's settings were not so strict. Because the Dark Death Domain was a monster-grinding map, not a simple mission map, there were many mysteries in between. If it were a mission map, the God of War Krow would not be able to enter at all, let alone take action.

Since the God of War Krow had decided to take action, Nie Yan was relieved and ran towards the teleportation gate in the distance. Anyway, he couldn't get anything even if the God of War Krow killed the Skeletal Demon Lord, and there was no point in staying here.

There were bursts of fighting sounds from behind. With the strength of the God of War Krow, killing that Skeletal Demon Lord would definitely be easy. Nie Yan stepped into the pillar of light without looking back, and a flash of white light flashed.

The scene in front of him suddenly changed, and Nie Yan had already appeared outside the Gate of the Dead.

"Young man, I am very surprised that you actually got the Skull of the God of Death." Archangel Tyrael said in surprise.

Hearing Archangel Tyrael's words, Nie Yan couldn't help but roll his eyes. It turned out that Archangel Tyrael's conversation with him before had a certain reason. He asked him to hand over the Blade of the God of Death to him, and then he could leave. As a result, he stupidly entered the Dark Death Domain and almost died inside.

However, it could also be considered a blessing in disguise. If he hadn't entered the Dark Death Domain, he definitely wouldn't have leveled up so quickly. If he hadn't entered the Dark Death Domain, he wouldn't have gotten those two pieces of broken divinity.

Thinking of this, Nie Yan suddenly felt much better.

"Respected Lord Tyrael, this is the Skull of the God of Death you are looking for." Nie Yan handed the Skull of the God of Death to Archangel Tyrael.

Archangel Tyrael took the wooden box with both hands, only to see his hands suddenly burning with a raging white flame. A shrill scream sounded, and the wooden box, along with the Skull of the God of Death, turned into a wisp of black smoke and completely disappeared without a trace.

System: You have completed Archangel Tyrael's commission and obtained the title of High Inquisitor.

Three crisp system prompts sounded in succession. In addition to the title reward, there was also an experience value reward! Nie Yan couldn't help but get excited. This was a god-level mission, how could the experience value reward be small? Those three system prompts made Nie Yan's heart surge, a full three levels!

If he had leveled up three levels when he was level 140 or 150, Nie Yan wouldn't have been so excited, but now, he was already level 193, and leveling up three levels was level 196!

The reward for this mission took Nie Yan a big step closer to the level 200 mark.

Nie Yan glanced at the High Inquisitor title. The High Inquisitor was a third-tier Temple title, covering the Advanced Light Arbiter title. This title surpassed the High Prophet and was almost on par with the Pope.

High Inquisitor's bonus status: All attributes +50%, movement speed +200%. When holding the complete Chapter of Order, you can summon an Archangel.

What an awesome title. Holding the complete Chapter of Order allows you to summon an Archangel. He wondered how strong that Archangel was, whether it had reached the Legendary level.

In addition to these status bonuses, there was also an exciting discovery for Nie Yan. The Guardian Angel Karuna's strongest shield skill, Karuna's Protection, had been opened to Nie Yan, which meant that Nie Yan could use this skill when needed in the future.

A title no less than the Speaker of the Dark Council, plus an incredibly powerful shield magic, plus the fact that he could immediately advance to Legend, what were the chances of winning if he challenged Duo Duo after handing in the mission?

It should be about the same, but it's hard to guarantee that Duo Duo won't have any trump cards. Since it's already to this point, he must win Duo Duo with absolute strength and completely cut off any thoughts he has!
