Lin Feng uttered those harsh words.
And made vows.
On one hand.
It was because he had suffered heavy losses from the curse and felt resentful.
On the other hand.
There were other reasons too.
After he completely left the area of the South Heaven Gate.
Besides the fixed reduction, this curse gained a continuous buff.
[Painful Gaze]: You are being watched by the supreme saint under this heavenly way. You will suffer pain every moment. When all this ends, you will receive corresponding rewards.
Your base experience gained from killing monsters in the wild is reduced by 50%.
In dungeons, rewards are reduced by 50%. See novel sites.
Your automatic immortal energy recovery speed is reduced by 90%.
These three negative status effects would drive a normal player to despair.
This directly cut the speed of progress by more than half.
But for Lin Feng, the impact was not significant.
His gains in the wild mainly relied on advantages from fighting higher-level opponents and achievement bonuses, as well as other additional effects.
The reduction in base gains was almost negligible.
As for dungeons, he rarely went to them anymore.
The rewards from them had little impact on him at this point.
The most significant reduction was in immortal energy recovery speed, which did have some effect.
However, the various bonuses he had accumulated previously were too high.
Even with a 90% reduction, his recovery speed was still much higher than that of ordinary players.
It did not make him struggle to move.
And this buff was not entirely disadvantageous.
It also provided incentives.
[Painful Counterattack]
Each time you kill a clone of Yuanshi Tianzun or Tai Shang Lao Jun, the effect of this curse will gradually weaken.
Killing the main body will dispel the curse and grant rich bonus rewards.
Kill one boss within 3 months, and gain a final reward increase of 100%.
Kill all of them, and the increase is 200%.
Kill one boss within 2 months, and gain a final reward increase of 200%.
Kill all of them, and the increase is 500%, with a small chance of obtaining a mysterious permanent buff.
Kill one boss within 1 month, and gain a final reward increase of 500%.
Kill all of them, and the increase is 2000%, with a small chance of obtaining a unique permanent buff.
It seemed simple.
You only needed to kill the clones or the main bodies of these two cursing bosses.
However, these were mythical Heavenly Dao Saints!
It was equivalent to, within three months.
Rising from being utterly unable to resist them to being able to kill one, or even all of them.
Your strength would need to increase a hundredfold, a thousandfold, or even a ten-thousandfold to have a chance.
For others, this was naturally a pipe dream.
It was estimated.
Three years would be difficult.
Lin Feng did not flinch.
Instead, he was full of fighting spirit.
After all.
The creature domain within his Tongtian Creation Pagoda was the best path for growth.
He had absolute confidence that he could break this curse within three months and defeat both of them to claim the generous rewards.
Even.
He could do it at a faster pace!
As for whether it would be two months or one month.
It depended on the speed of his development.
He logged off first and informed his team members.
After killing the clone of Yuanshi Tianzun, their curse had been lifted.
They could log in normally.
The anxious members were both surprised and delighted.
They hadn't expected that the major problem that had made it almost impossible for them to play the game normally would be so easily resolved by Lin Feng.
Moreover.
It was done so quickly.
Even Tang Xiaowan, who had assumed Lin Feng would resolve the problem with deliberate ease, was astonished by Lin Feng's efficiency.
After logging into the game, Lin Feng specifically instructed them.
With their current strength, they could go anywhere in the game.
Except.
The South Heaven Gate of the Huaxia Immortal Realm.
The waters there were too deep for them to handle!
After giving his instructions, Lin Feng and his team members began their individual development processes.
The team members traveled between various servers.
Accumulating their own strength.
Thanks to the existence of the Immortal Power Breakthrough Pills, their immortal power limit had been raised to a terrifying level.
And they did not possess a heaven-defying existence like Lin Feng's time law.
For ordinary immortal power and refined immortal power to be converted into the final Chaotic Immortal Power, a significant amount of time was needed.
Even with various treasures and achievement bonuses.
Their progress was still not very fast.
Their improvement was a long and arduous journey.
Lin Feng, on the other hand, entered a state of semi-seclusion.
With the creature domain, his need for wild bosses had greatly diminished.
Unless bosses of epic or mythical rarity appeared, he would use his markers to fly over and take a look.
For lower-rarity bosses, he often gave up directly.
In addition to the wild maps, he accumulated daily kills using the characteristics of his immortal artifact boots.
Within the creature domain, Lin Feng was also constantly breaking through.
Just the day after he returned, after clearing the creature domain of an intermediate Heavenly Dao Saint.
His Heavenly Dao Power began to grow rapidly.
Although he only gained over 30,000 units from the first perfect clear.
At other times, it was less than 10,000 units.
But with daily accumulation, it was still a considerable amount.
Not to mention.
In the intermediate Heavenly Dao Saint creature domain, each boss guarding a level was of epic rarity.
Although the drop rate of treasure chests was only 50%.
It was still effective due to daily kills and accumulation.
Just 15 days after leaving the South Heaven Gate.
Lin Feng, relying on half a month of accumulation.
Not only successfully unlocked the advanced Heavenly Dao Saint domain.
But also used his improved strength to clear it.
Moreover.
The first and second clears were somewhat challenging.
It was only in the third clear that he achieved a perfect clear.
The rewards after clearing a domain of this tier were astonishingly high.
And on the 28th day of accumulation.
He pushed forward with all his might and unlocked the final domain of the Heavenly Dao Saint level.
His first attempt, though unsuccessful.
The mythical saints in this domain were incredibly powerful.
And whether it was their domains, their divine abilities and laws.
Or the treasures they possessed.
They were virtually flawless in every aspect.
Lin Feng could handle one or two easily.
Three or five became very difficult.
Under the encirclement in the final level, and being targeted, he unfortunately lost.
But Lin Feng was not discouraged.
Afterwards, he meticulously analyzed and reviewed, learning from his experience and lessons.
The biggest gain during this month was that he discovered two more divine items similar to the Ginseng Fruit, which could be converted into Origin of the Great Dao.
The Nine Thousand Year Old Peaches of Immortality.
And.
The Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir.
These two divine items originally had limited quantities and probabilities for conversion into the Origin of the Great Dao.
But after Lin Feng's enhancement and amplification, as well as further Dao attunement effects.
They became close to the effect of the Ginseng Fruit.
Most importantly.
The quantity of these two divine items was not as rare and non-renewable as the Ginseng Fruit.
His Origin of the Great Dao experienced a surge.
And by digesting the spoils from treasure chests and drops over this past month.
He also filled in his shortcomings one by one.
Currently, he had as many as five usable Heavenly Dao divine abilities.
Covering attack, defense, and support.
Not to mention the Zhuxian Sword Formation and the Five Elements Spiritual Banners, which had been upgraded to the extreme, as well as other set magical treasures.
And the few new magical treasures he had added.
Had also been upgraded to the level of Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasures.
And it was in such a fully armed and greatly improved state.
On the 29th day, Lin Feng successfully cleared the final domain of the Heavenly Dao Saint level.
"You cleared the final creature domain of the Heavenly Dao Saint type in 39 minutes and 25 seconds."
"You obtained 8 million units of Heavenly Dao Power."
"You triggered a probability and additionally obtained 4 million units of Primordial Violet Qi."
"Your number of deaths was less than 2."
"Your clear time did not exceed 40 minutes."
"You have been certified for a perfect clear."
"You have additionally obtained 12 million units of Heavenly Dao Power."
"【Divine Transformation Trial Experience】 (Unique) effect activated."
"You have additionally obtained 300% of Heavenly Dao Power."
"You have ultimately obtained 96 million units of Heavenly Dao Power."
The final harvest was incredibly generous.
And the bonus from a unique Divine Transformation Trial Experience further amplified the reward quantity.
This made Lin Feng glance at the content of [Painful Counterattack] in his quest log.
Remaining time: 23 hours.
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, a slight smile appearing at the corners of his mouth.
Yuanshi Tianzun, Tai Shang Lao Jun.
It's time to settle our score!
