It's not surprising that Lin Feng felt so confident.
He had observed clearly before the battle.
Even the strongest among the enemies, Jiyu Xianren, only possessed 8 times refined immortal power at a mere 2 million points.
Although the opponent's damage amplification and reduction were as high as 70%.
And their magic treasures each added a 15% bonus.
However, Lin Feng's immortal power ceiling was simply too high.
The bonus from the sheer difference in immortal power, the multiplicative increase,
had completely offset the opponent's substantial damage reduction.
Furthermore.
In Lin Feng's opinion.
Even if a Mythical Da Luo Jinxian were stronger, they wouldn't be overwhelmingly so.
He could even try to face a Quasi-Saint.
After all.
If he wasn't mistaken, Quasi-Saints were likely beings who possessed laws and were supremely powerful.
Defeating them would drop law points.
Just as he was thinking this.
"Ding! You have triggered the special unique quest [Varuna's Pursuit]."
Lin Feng was momentarily stunned.
Who was this?
But upon seeing the system prompt, he understood.
"You have killed the son of the Water God Varuna, Jiyu Xianren, and his mount, the sea monster Makara. Your brutal actions have enraged him. The Water God Varuna has issued a highest-level pursuit order against you and will join forces with several other Great Immortals to scout and hunt you."
"Quest Success Reward: Within 96 hours, remain in the immortal realm of Curry Country for more than 8 hours while surviving. Additional rewards will be given based on the extended duration of your stay, with a maximum limit of 24 hours."
"Quest Failure Penalty: Death within the map within 8 hours. Quest failed; talent level will be reduced by 1, and you will be relentlessly pursued by Bosses of Quasi-Saint rank and above in the immortal realm of Curry Country."
Lin Feng was not surprised but delighted.
Water God Varuna?
A Quasi-Saint Boss?
I haven't even sought you out, and you want to hunt me?
His eyes lit up.
Excellent.
Let's see who's more formidable!
Boom!
And just as he was lost in thought.
Suddenly, a powerful force struck him, jolting Lin Feng.
-100 Million!
-100 Million!
...
An attack!
Lin Feng quickly looked around.
But he saw no enemies.
Yet damage numbers continued to float above his head.
He immediately moved, breaking his original position.
Unexpectedly.
These damage numbers persisted relentlessly.
Until.
He had fled over ten thousand meters.
The damage numbers above his head finally disappeared.
Although his 18%/second automatic health regeneration had already restored his health to full.
That bizarre damage still left him somewhat surprised.
It wasn't until he checked the system prompts that he discovered the reason.
"You have entered the domain of the Water God Varuna. The opponent has initiated domain suppression attacks. Since you are not within the opponent's core domain, the effect is reduced by 99%. You will take 100 million damage per second."
Lin Feng was incredulous.
What kind of domain is this, it's ridiculously outrageous!
Even with a 99% damage reduction, it still deals 100 million damage per second.
If he were within the core range, wouldn't it be 10 billion per second?
Lin Feng felt a chilling sensation.
If he had been a little slower.
And let this Water God Varuna get closer to him, his tens of billions of health points would be gone in mere seconds.
Moreover.
This domain suppression attack's effect actually ignored his damage reduction.
This meant that for Da Luo Jinxian level combat power, it would be extremely difficult to win against a Quasi-Saint by being weaker.
His eyes narrowed, a hint of gravity in them.
These Quasi-Saints are quite strong.
Thinking this.
Lin Feng felt reluctant to linger here any longer.
Since.
This area was occupied by this fellow.
Then he would find another place.
He changed direction and sped away.
Five minutes later.
Lin Feng stopped, his expression somewhat grim.
"You have entered the domain of the Wind God Vayu. The opponent has initiated domain suppression attacks. Since you are not within the opponent's core domain, the effect is reduced by 99%. You take 80 million damage per second, and your movement speed is reduced by 0.9%."
This is outrageous!
He then remembered.
The quest description stated that the Water God Varuna would join forces with several other Great Immortals to scout and hunt him.
So, these Great Immortals were all Quasi-Saints?
This Wind God Vayu's domain was also terrifying.
Although the damage was not as high as the Water God Varuna's.
It actually had the effect of reducing movement speed.
And this was after a 99% reduction.
Lin Feng currently had over 200,000 Agility.
Along with movement speed coefficient bonuses.
But if he entered the opponent's core domain, with a 90% reduction, his movement speed would likely be no faster than an ordinary player.
Facing a Quasi-Saint, he would be at their mercy.
Lin Feng shook his head.
Forget it.
I can't afford to provoke them!
He couldn't stay in this Curry Country immortal realm any longer.
If he didn't have a way to counter these domains, this quest would be impossible to complete.
The quest gave him three days.
It was likely meant for him to improve his strength before attempting to stay for 8 hours.
Whether hiding or fighting head-on, as long as he survived for 8 hours, it would suffice.
Lin Feng felt a sense of relief.
Since that was the case, he would leave for now.
When he returned next time.
Not only would he complete the quest.
Water God Varuna.
Wind God Vayu.
You two who dare to bully me remotely will pay the price!
He found a coordinate in the Sakura Country's Earthly Immortal Realm on Xiaoyao You and instantly teleported there.
Since he couldn't defeat Curry Country for now.
He would go to the Sakura Country's immortal realm!
...
Huaxia Server.
Although the news that some abilities from the game could be converted to reality had spread widely.
This game had also been recognized by many as a groundbreaking work that could alter the global landscape.
Most people were engrossed in leveling up and improving their strength.
However, some were still chatting idly on the world channel.
"Speaking of which, why has King Arthur from Beautiful Country gone quiet? I thought he'd make some big move after being the first to complete eight transcendences."
"He probably just got lucky. When it comes to strength, it still has to be our Huaxia players."
"That's obvious, isn't it? Boss Yang Jian can already deal with Taiyi Golden Immortals. Even if he's a hundred times stronger, he can't compare."
"I reckon King Arthur's strength might not be much different from Luo Luo and the others."
"Highly likely. If that person is truly that strong, our Huaxia players won't be able to dominate anymore."
"He's transcended for so long, and Luo Luo and the others still haven't completed eight transcendences?"
"Maybe they're saving up a big move."
"Who knows? It's really uncomfortable to be outshone by King Arthur."
Just as players were discussing animatedly.
"As the number of interconnected servers has reached the standard, the all-server rankings will be merged."
"The Treasure List and Level List will be abolished and unified into the Blue Star Combat Power List."
This caused the players to become excited.
"Holy crap, the Blue Star Ranking! If I can get on this list, I'll be famous worldwide."
"I wonder where I'll rank. I'm looking forward to it."
The system announcement continued.
"The Blue Star Combat Power List will be divided into three tiers: Human, Immortal, and Divine, based on combat power range."
"The top ten players in each tier will receive exclusive titles and enjoy additional damage amplification and reduction bonuses against players ranked lower than their own tier."
"The all-server chat channel is now open. Players exceeding level 60 can post one message every 24 hours."
As soon as the system announcement appeared, the players were completely enthralled.
Countless people began to open the newly updated Blue Star Combat Power List and check their rankings.

Perhaps the author's skill is truly limited, and it's not written well. There are very few friends still following this book.
All the bonus chapters for rewards have been completed, and it is expected to finish before the Lunar New Year.
