Chapter 1013 – Tier 7 Concentration

TL Notes:

Made a correction in Chapter 1012:

Primordial Dragon Legacy Crystal -> Phantom Crystal (introduced in Chapter 919)

I’ve also made a change in Chapter 919:

Changed “illusion doppelganger” to “phantom doppelganger”

As Shi Feng crushed Kalisha’s Phantom Crystal, a phantom doppelganger 10,000 meters in height descended upon the Northern Plain.

Ten thousand meters? Shi Feng couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw Kalisha’s towering phantom.

The suppression the Primordial Abyssal God’s Promotion Land exerted on its inhabitants was the strongest Shi Feng had ever seen. Even powerful Chaos Creatures that could challenge Primordial Gods of the same level had their heights reduced to under 3,000 meters.

Although the size of NPCs and monsters didn’t fully correlate with their strength, it could indicate their energy standards.

A 10,000-meter-tall phantom!

If speaking purely in mana standards, Kalisha’s phantom was much stronger than even the 12 War Goddesses when enhanced by Heroic Pledge and the Goddess Battle Array. This situation was simply unbelievable.

Although Kalisha, the Dragon Princess, was regarded as one of the ten strongest NPCs in the human race’s Greater God’s Domain in his previous life, she only rivaled Primordial Gods of the same level. Not to mention, while he might have helped Kalisha recover her strength in this life, her phantom should only hold a small portion of her strength. The phantom shouldn’t be anywhere close to matching Kalisha herself.

Despite that, Kalisha’s phantom was already stronger than even the Goddess phantom the War Goddesses conjured when they executed the God-Slaying Spear Technique. Shi Feng dared not imagine how strong Kalisha was right now.

Kalisha’s gigantic phantom similarly frightened the Five-Headed Chaos Dragon.

The Five-Headed Chaos Dragon, with its height of over 2,000 meters, could already be considered massive. Shi Feng would appear smaller than an ant if he were to stand before it. Nonetheless, the Five-Headed Chaos Dragon was nothing more than a slightly larger lizard before Kalisha’s phantom.

“You came to that old fellow’s territory to conduct your promotion? It seems I’ve underestimated you before,” Kalisha said, glancing at her surroundings before looking at Shi Feng in surprise. She completely ignored the Five-Headed Chaos Dragon before her.

“I got lucky. I happened to complete a commission and earned the opportunity to come here,” Shi Feng explained in response to Kalisha’s praise.

“Is that your target?” Kalisha finally turned to look at the Five-Headed Chaos Dragon before her. Then, she said with a nod, “Not bad. It has already grasped an Advanced World despite having yet to reach adulthood. At this rate, it might be able to crown itself as a king among Chaos Creatures once it reaches adulthood.”

“Can you stop it from attacking me for 90 seconds?” Shi Feng asked worriedly when he heard Kalisha’s evaluation of the Five-Headed Chaos Dragon.

A king among Chaos Creatures!

This was a top existence among Chaos Creatures. Even the Primordial Abyssal God should have difficulty dealing with such an opponent. Seeing as Kalisha had given the Five-Headed Chaos Dragon such a high evaluation, it likely hadn’t revealed its true strength thus far.

“Ninety seconds?” Kalisha glanced at the Five-Headed Chaos Dragon that was opening its three mouths once more. Without hesitation, she answered, “That won’t be difficult.”

After saying so, Kalisha’s phantom raised its hand and erased all light within a 10,000-yard radius. At the same time, the Five-Headed Chaos Dragon’s Basic Attributes plummeted to just 70% of their original values in the blink of an eye. Immediately afterward, the phantom lowered its hand, creating a dark ripple that neutralized the three pitch-black lightning bolts the Five-Headed Chaos Dragon’s roars created.

Meanwhile, the 12 War Goddesses seemed to have been freed from their restraints as they recovered their Basic Attributes. Because of this shift in circumstances, the War Goddesses’ Basic Attributes exceeded that of the Five-Headed Chaos Dragon by a slight margin. Now, even without the intervention of Kalisha’s phantom, the 12 War Goddesses could keep the Five-Headed Chaos Dragon from Shi Feng.

Subsequently, time passed rapidly as the Taboo Nucleus absorbed the Five-Headed Chaos Dragon’s strength.

Eighty seconds… Sixty seconds… Thirty seconds…

Even as the Taboo Nucleus absorbed the last vestiges of its strength, the Five-Headed Chaos Dragon never managed to touch Shi Feng. Despite its frustration, the Five-Headed Chaos Dragon ultimately transformed into light particles and disappeared from the Promotion Land.

System: Congratulations! Your Taboo Nucleus has absorbed the Five-Headed Chaos Dragon’s strength. Do you wish to receive the Five-Headed Chaos Dragon’s World Structure?

System: You have ten minutes to decide. Once you accept the World Structure, you will have one natural day to replicate it before it automatically disappears. The higher the fusion rate, the more World Power you can access after you complete your promotion.

System: If you cannot finish replicating it in one natural day, or if your fusion rate fails to reach 70%, you will fail your promotion, and you will not be able to receive the power of a Taboo Nucleus again for one year.

A fusion rate of 70%? Shi Feng smiled wryly as he read the system notifications. No wonder nobody from the three races ever managed to reach Tier 7. This requirement is simply ridiculous.

Shi Feng was pleasantly surprised when he saw he was given a one-day time limit to replicate the Five-Headed Chaos Dragon’s Advanced World. However, when he saw the requirement of a 70% fusion rate, he felt like someone had just poured a bucket of cold water over him.

The process of constructing an unfamiliar World using unfamiliar World Laws was already a huge undertaking in itself. However, the Tier 7 promotion required him to replicate the Five-Headed Chaos Dragon’s Advanced World and ensure its compatibility. In other words, he’d have to make modifications to the replicated Advanced World. This was a fatal requirement for someone who couldn’t even construct a World of his own.

After all, he could modify a World from countless aspects. How was he supposed to know which modifications, or combination of modifications, would make the Advanced World more compatible with him?

Shi Feng got a headache when he thought up to this point, and he hesitated over whether to accept the World Structure of the Five-Headed Chaos Dragon’s Advanced World.

“How lucky of you to obtain something as good as the Abyssal Fruit!” When Kalisha saw Shi Feng’s indecision, a look of vexation appeared on her phantom. “With the Abyssal Fruit, your chances of making that step are drastically higher than others, so stop hesitating and wasting time.”

“The Abyssal Fruit?” At Kalisha’s exasperated remark, Shi Feng grabbed the Abyssal Fruit from his bag and ate it whole, wondering what effects it would bring him.

Although he had previously inspected the Abyssal Fruit, its introduction only stated that it was an Abyssal Relic and nothing else. Hence, he had left it sitting in his bag.

Now that the Taboo Nucleus had finished absorbing the Five-Headed Chaos Dragon’s strength, it was the right time to use the Abyssal Fruit.

Three seconds after Shi Feng consumed the Abyssal Fruit, he sensed immense power welling up within his body and condensing in the depths of his mind. Then, it augmented his Concentration at a frightening rate.

Ten seconds later, Shi Feng felt he had broken through some kind of restraint. Originally, his perception only extended 1,000 yards away. Now, he could perceive everything within a 100,000-yard radius.

Tier 7 Concentration?!

Shi Feng was shocked by this sudden transformation.

Out of all Attributes in God’s Domain, Concentration was the most difficult to raise. Even after reaching Tier 6, many players’ Concentration would still be stuck at the Tier 5 standard. Most Tier 6 players would have to undergo a long development period before their Concentration could advance from Tier 5 to Tier 6. This showed just how difficult it was to develop one’s Concentration.

Although Shi Feng’s Concentration was previously at the Pseudo-Tier 7 standard, it had still been a far cry from the Tier 7 standard. He had even considered slowly developing his Concentration to the Tier 7 standard after completing his Tier 7 promotion.

But now, the Abyssal Fruit had propelled his Concentration to the Tier 7 standard.
