Not long after.
Yamamoto Ichiro organized a deliberate attack targeting the team members.
In the immortal realm of the Beautiful Country, the two sides met.
On one side was Yamamoto Ichiro, a quasi-saint, leading a full thirty-six Grand Unity Golden Immortals.
This was a batch of player experts he had quickly cultivated at the behest of Amaterasu Omikami.
Although.
These people's strength was not as comprehensive as bosses of the same rank.
But they were Grand Unity Golden Immortals nonetheless.
He felt that.
For cheering them on, and even for cleaning up the battlefield.
They should be very qualified.
But no one had expected that this battle would be a one-sided crushing defeat.
And.
It wasn't Yamamoto Ichiro, a quasi-saint, crushing his opponents, as ordinary players might have imagined.
Instead.
The War God team displayed their might.
With only War God Ba Dao and Tan Fen, Tan Zhan, three people.
They quickly finished off Yamamoto Ichiro and the team of over thirty people.
The outcome of this battle shocked players throughout the gaming world.
It was rare to see the weak triumph over the strong!
Yamamoto Ichiro, after dying, was utterly bewildered.
He only learned after investigating that he had not even been able to unleash the power of a quasi-saint.
Although after advancing to quasi-saint, his 5x refined immortal power had directly doubled.
And with the rewards from the inheritance quest, it had been increased to 8x refined immortal power.
But quasi-saint level could refine the highest grade of chaotic immortal power.
He had been completely unable to leverage the advantages of this realm.
A week later.
He once again launched an attack on the War God team.
This time, he had transformed over a million points of chaotic immortal power and, filled with confidence, reorganized his forces.
He believed.
With the augmentation of chaotic immortal power to his health and true damage, this time he would definitely teach the War God team a lesson.
However.
The result of the battle once again disappointed him.
It was still three people who went out, and this time he was defeated even faster.
His proud health could not withstand a single blow from the opponent.
And his attacks were completely absorbed by the other side.
The failure in these two battles not only dampened Yamamoto Ichiro's confidence.
But also greatly shocked the outside world.
Could a quasi-saint not defeat a Grand Unity Golden Immortal?
And a quasi-saint that was almost at full strength.
It was outrageous!
What's more, what drove Yamamoto Ichiro to despair the most.
Was that in both deaths, he had dropped chaotic immortal power.
With a 10% loss of his maximum each time, his efforts over several days were completely wasted.
After encountering the War God team twice, he had not only failed to kill any of them.
Instead, his combat power had continuously declined with two deaths.
After the White Bear Country also produced a quasi-saint.
His combat power directly dropped to 300 trillion.
Ranking third.
Yamamoto Ichiro looked at his rank on the leaderboard and was stunned.
Hadn't he been ranked below the War God team, eleventh with over 400 trillion combat power?
How had his combat power dropped, yet his rank had risen?
Could it be?
He flipped further back.
He indeed saw a new area.
The ten people neatly arranged above.
The first place, Luoluo, had over 1200 trillion combat power.
Below that, most had over a hundred trillion.
Guo Aimin, ranked tenth, also had 8 trillion.
Looking at this new unit of measurement, Yamamoto Ichiro felt a chill down his spine.
He quickly went offline to research.
Ten minutes later.
He logged back in, lost and dejected.
His eyes were filled with a daze.
It turned out that 10,000 trillion was equal to 1 trillion.
In that case.
Did that mean even Guo Aimin was hundreds of times stronger than him?
And the strongest, Luoluo, was tens of thousands of times stronger than him?
He felt it was absurd.
Were they even playing the same game?
This was too ridiculous!
Flipping further back, after discovering this leaderboard exclusively occupied by the ten members of the War God team, he found no new leaderboards. Yamamoto Ichiro also realized a previously overlooked problem.
If the leaderboard he was on was measured in trillions.
And the War God team members were measured in trillions.
Then.
Why hadn't Yang Jian Qing Ming appeared on it yet?
Could it be that the trillion unit was not the endpoint for Yang Jian Qing Ming?
He suddenly remembered that person had cleared the immortal realms of various servers months ago.
His gaze solidified.
Several months had passed since then.
That god of death had probably grown much stronger.
For a moment.
He no longer felt hatred for the War God team.
He had lost the will to compete with them.
"Yamamoto-kun, I just found out that the strongest power of the quasi-saint tier relies on domain."
"This is something even the most powerful Grand Unity Golden Immortals cannot possess."
"As long as we possess a domain, we can definitely defeat the War God team, and even Yang Jian Qing Ming!"
Looking at the message from his friend, Old John Khan, a player from the Beautiful Country who had become a quasi-saint, Yamamoto Ichiro shook his head.
John-kun, you are too naive!
Yang Jian-kun and his subordinates' strength is far beyond our imagination!
He dejectedly closed the message in his friend list and sank into confusion.
...
Yamamoto Ichiro's defeat, though it made some observing players gape in astonishment.
But the successively appearing quasi-saint players were still full of confidence as they launched challenges against the team members.
Although every challenger and their server's encirclement had failed.
No one believed that the ten people, who remained at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal level, would be the eternal victors.
They constantly reassured and encouraged themselves.
We are just not suited for the combat style of the quasi-saint tier.
Once we get used to it, we will definitely be able to instantly kill the members of the War God team!
As for the combat power values and rankings.
They are just a reference!
We are quasi-saints, how can we have a gap of hundreds or even thousands of times with them?
This was completely beyond their comprehension.
The failure of players from various servers also elevated the War God team's reputation to a very high level among players.
Especially among Chinese players.
Many top players, after reaching the peak strength of Grand Unity Golden Immortal, did not choose to become quasi-saints.
Instead, they purchased the refinement secrets of chaotic immortal power at high prices from members of the War God team.
And continued to transform and improve their strength.
Such secrets were not obtainable with money alone.
Only top players who had always maintained a friendly attitude towards Lin Feng and the War God team members had the opportunity to strike up a conversation.
Although they didn't know.
Why the War God team members, who had once led the rankings in every realm of advancement, suddenly went silent at Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
But according to what Zhan Shen Ba Dao had subtly revealed.
Don't rush to become a saint.
And it's best to have reached the Grand Unity Golden Immortal level of strength in reality.
Before attempting to become a saint in reality.
They didn't understand the reason behind this.
But they were willing to believe War God Ba Dao.
More precisely.
They believed in that god-like man.
Yang Jian Qing Ming.
Thus.
An extremely strange scene appeared in the game.
Top players from other servers rushed to advance to quasi-saint.
Even.
After it spread that reaching the saint stage could lead to eternal life in reality.
Players went completely mad.
Quite a few players who had reached the quasi-saint level were rapidly increasing their strength.
Several of them were even preparing to use the quasi-saint stage as a transition and quickly rush to the strength that allowed ascension to sainthood, and then immediately become saints.
According to unofficial rumors.
There was a limit to the number of spots for becoming a saint.
Not everyone could become a saint.
And as players fell into a frenzy of upgrading driven by their desire to become saints.
The members of the War God team had all become reclusive.
Except for some high-level players who had glimpsed these people fleetingly in the immortal realms of their own servers.
Few people had seen them since.
As more and more players advanced to quasi-saint, the number grew from single digits to double digits.
And then gradually approached triple digits.
No one from the War God team had advanced.
Chinese players, as if they had made a pact, also did not have anyone advance.
Some gossip-loving players were also discussing.
What were these formerly top players up to.
Some also mentioned.
Yang Jian Qing Ming hadn't appeared in system announcements for several months.
This once unparalleled figure in the game, the eternal legend.
What was he doing now?
Would he become the first player to become a saint.
And even the first to achieve eternal life?
...
Thanks to Starry Night for the催更符.
Thanks to Long Shao Guo and Pai Meng Yi Kou Tun for the likes.
I had to go out for something a few days ago, and will resume updates from today.
