Chapter 1 The Berserk Dark Demon King

Just when Nie Yan thought he had victory within his grasp, the Dark Demon King suddenly let out a deafening roar. Its body swelled, radiating an unnatural, scarlet light that was dazzling to behold.

Damn, it went berserk at 30%?

Normally, super lords would only go berserk when their health was down to around 10%, or 15% at most. But this Dark Demon King seemed to defy all reason.

The Dark Demon King roared to the heavens, raising its massive left palm and slamming it down towards the Golden Earth Dragon.

Nie Yan quickly issued a command for the Golden Earth Dragon to retreat, but it was too late.

With a thunderous crash, the Golden Earth Dragon was smashed into the pile of corpses, its body completely submerged, unable to move.

The Dark Demon King swung its giant axe, bringing it down in a crushing blow. Blood splattered as the Golden Earth Dragon transformed into a beam of white light.

The Dark Demon King's sharp attacks gave Nie Yan pause. He hurriedly ordered the Violet-Eyed Earth Dragon to retreat as well.

Just as the Violet-Eyed Earth Dragon was about to leave, the Dark Demon King's giant axe transformed into a curved arc—a Whirlwind Strike!

With a bang, the Violet-Eyed Earth Dragon was struck by the axe, sent flying backwards, a massive damage number of 690,000 floating above its head before it collapsed to the ground.

Critical hit, instant kill!

*Bang, bang, bang!* The forbidden spells continued to rain down on the Dark Demon King, dealing even more damage than before, reaching an astonishing two million.

After going berserk, the Dark Demon King's defense had decreased somewhat.

However, unlike before, the berserk Dark Demon King was completely immune to the effects of the forbidden spells. Enduring the magical onslaught, it charged towards one of the Light-Dark Sacred Dragons.

Not good!

Nie Yan was shocked. If the Dark Demon King took out the Light-Dark Sacred Dragons one by one, their damage output would drop, and it would be much harder to kill the Dark Demon King. Nie Yan quickly controlled the Light-Dark Sacred Dragon, making it flee.

*Bang!* Another forbidden spell struck the Dark Demon King.

The Dark Demon King caught up to the fleeing Light-Dark Sacred Dragon and swung its axe.

*Bang!* A damage number of over 500,000 floated above the Light-Dark Sacred Dragon's head.

However, after receiving a 300% stat boost, the Light-Dark Sacred Dragon had a total of 1.67 million health, making it quite durable. It immediately fled after taking the hit.

Seeing that it had failed to instantly kill the Light-Dark Sacred Dragon with one blow, the Dark Demon King roared to the heavens. The axe in its hand transformed into a streak of black light, descending with unparalleled force. With a crash, the Light-Dark Sacred Dragon was sent flying.

One Light-Dark Sacred Dragon had been eliminated!

*Bang!* The Dark Demon King took another hit from a forbidden spell.

There's a chance, it might be possible to take down the Dark Demon King!

Nie Yan and the Shadow Thief flanked the Dark Demon King from both sides, swinging the Zennarde's Sword and bringing it down.

Annihilation Slash!

The enormous sword energy descended from the sky, far more powerful than any previous Annihilation Slash Nie Yan had unleashed. With two loud crashes, the two Annihilation Slashes simultaneously struck the Dark Demon King, two damage numbers of over one million floating above its head.

Nie Yan's Annihilation Slash was dealing half the damage of the Light-Dark Sacred Dragon's forbidden spells, which was quite remarkable.

A moment later, another Light-Dark Sacred Dragon was killed after being caught by the Dark Demon King before it could escape.

Fortunately, under the Light-Dark Sacred Dragons' frantic attacks, the Dark Demon King's health was reduced to just 13%.

The Dark Demon King was enraged, chasing after them everywhere. Watching its frenzied state, Nie Yan couldn't help but feel a chill. Given the Dark Demon King's strength, if the Light-Dark Sacred Dragons hadn't learned Clone and Fury, Nie Yan would have had to level up to at least level 200 to take it down.

Nie Yan and the Shadow Thief's figures flickered around the Dark Demon King, launching attack after attack.

Purgatory Execution!

Purgatory Execution!

Regardless of whether Purgatory Execution was effective, he had to try it. After all, after Zennarde's Sword was upgraded to a divine artifact, the success rate of Purgatory Execution was now vastly different. If it succeeded, it would save a lot of trouble.

The Dark Demon King had little health left, but its attacks were still incredibly fierce, and it took down another Light-Dark Sacred Dragon.

Under Nie Yan's command, the remaining two Light-Dark Sacred Dragons ran far away, forcing the Dark Demon King to spend more time chasing after them.

Purgatory Execution!

Purgatory Execution!

Nie Yan and the Shadow Thief unleashed Purgatory Execution countless times. Just as the Dark Demon King was about to approach one of the Light-Dark Sacred Dragons, Zennarde's Sword in Nie Yan's hand suddenly burst forth with a dazzling light.

With a slash, a damage number of over nine million floated above the Dark Demon King's head. It let out a shrill scream and crashed heavily to the ground.

Success!

Nie Yan couldn't help but feel a surge of luck. If Purgatory Execution hadn't been successful, he didn't know how much more effort it would have taken to kill the Dark Demon King, or even if he would have been able to succeed.

The Dark Demon King's massive corpse lay on the ground, like a small hill.

A crisp system notification sounded. Nie Yan checked his level. He had leveled up to 190. Killing the Dark Demon King had given him a 73% experience boost.

When Tang Yao and the others killed a level 200 demonified lord, they would be lucky to gain 1%. But Nie Yan was different; he was only level 190. The Dark Demon King's experience was still quite substantial for him.

Nie Yan felt a strange power rising from the Dark Demon King's body and then disappearing into his own.

Divinity +5.

He didn't expect that killing the Dark Demon King would grant such an additional bonus. Nie Yan was quite excited. There were countless Dark Demon Kings in this Dark Underworld. If he could gain five divinity points for each one he killed, it would be quite a boost. He glanced at his current status and saw that he already had fifty-six divinity points, not bad.

If he could gather three hundred divinity points, he could wield the Death God's Edge. Thinking of this, Nie Yan suddenly raised an eyebrow. Maybe there was a chance. The Death God's Edge was the key to opening this quest. Maybe completing this quest would raise his divinity to 300 points.

This idea had no basis; it was just Nie Yan's intuition about quests.

If he could obtain the Death God's Edge, a divine weapon, with the Death God's Edge in his left hand and Zennarde's Sword in his right, Nie Yan's attack power would definitely increase considerably.

No matter how difficult this quest was, he had to complete it. If he could complete this quest, his strength would probably reach a new level by the time he left.

I wonder what good items the Dark Demon King dropped.

Nie Yan bent down and searched, his eyes focusing on a rhombus-shaped green crystal fragment.

The shape of this thing is very familiar!

Nie Yan's heart jolted. It was a shattered divine fragment! After so long, he had finally found another shattered divine fragment!

Even in the dark environment, this shattered divine fragment still radiated a brilliant luster.

This shattered divine fragment was the key to Nie Yan's advancement to Legendary!

Advancing to Legendary required a total of four things, including six shattered divine fragments, divinity, a divine artifact, and the Heart of the Saint. He had already collected the other three. Only the shattered divine fragments... including the one he had just obtained, he now had five, with only one left to go.

The difficulty of the quest to advance to Legendary could be described as SSS-rank. Nie Yan learned from the official website that the quests each player had to do to advance to Legendary were different. No one had succeeded yet. Like the rumors outside, that Brilliant刀光 could advance to Legendary by killing a level 200 demonified lord. In fact, that was just one part of the quest to advance to Legendary.

There were many players trying to advance to Legendary, and some had completed 80% or 90% of the quest, but no one had truly succeeded yet.

Nie Yan didn't know how much effort it had taken him to obtain divinity, a divine artifact, and the Heart of the Saint. He couldn't have fallen short even a little bit to reach this point. In comparison, his progress was already very fast.

If he had been in the game for the past three years, he probably could have advanced to Legendary two years ago. Because divine fragments, based on past experience, weren't particularly difficult to collect. If you were lucky, they would drop. He had already collected the hardest thing to collect, divinity, let alone shattered divine fragments!

Nie Yan had been waiting, wondering when he could obtain the remaining two shattered divine fragments. He didn't expect that one would drop today!

Just a little bit more, and he would step into the Legendary realm!

If he could advance to Legendary before Duo Duo, maybe when he left the Dark Underworld, he could challenge Duo Duo!

This Dark Demon King had a shattered divine fragment! Do other Dark Demon Kings have them too?

Nie Yan couldn't help but get excited. Legendary, this legendary realm, seemed to be just around the corner.

Once you reach the Legendary realm, top-tier classes are just trash!

Nie Yan suppressed the excitement in his heart. It was impossible to kill another Dark Demon King today. The Light-Dark Sacred Dragons' two Legendary skills wouldn't cool down until tomorrow!

But he could still wait!

After putting away the shattered divine fragment, Nie Yan finally remembered to check if the Dark Demon King had dropped anything else. He was too excited just now and hadn't had time to look. If it had been refreshed, he would definitely cry!

Nie Yan searched below the Dark Demon King and found another strange thing.

Ancient Scale: Special material, can be used to strengthen equipment.

This was something similar to a dragon scale, about the size of a palm, completely black, crystal clear, without a trace of impurities.

Another material for strengthening equipment. I don't know how to use it. After thinking about it, I'll take it back and ask the Craftsman God Bronnick.

Obtaining the Ancient Scale didn't make Nie Yan feel much excitement. After all, he didn't know what it was used for. Nie Yan was still immersed in the joy of obtaining the shattered divine fragment. He would level up for now and check again tomorrow to see if he could find the sixth shattered divine fragment!
