[World 18]
Beneath the deep sea lies endless sea beasts.
The ones currently encountered in the shallow sea areas are merely some level 101 fish and shrimp-type sea beasts.
Zhang Yue can casually use a single skill to easily kill them in seconds.
The sea domain is even more advantageous for Zhang Yue.
Because here, lightning-type skills possess additional explosive potential.
When Zhang Yue uses a single-target lightning-type skill to hit an enemy, it conducts through the seawater, causing splash damage to other nearby monsters within a certain range.
Targets within 50 yards receive nearly the same amount of damage, equivalent to Zhang Yue also possessing in the sea domain the splash damage effect of [Glory: Undying Magic Body] from the Cherry.
All lightning-type skills can trigger AOE damage.
Secondly, the passive effect of the legendary treasure [[Heart of the Ocean]: Wearer gains +100% movement speed in water, +100% damage, +60% damage reduction, and reduces enemy movement speed by 50%.]
This makes the sea domain practically Zhang Yue's slaughterhouse.
Just after diving into the sea, Zhang Yue unleashed a thunderous lightning strike, erupting endless electricity in the surrounding sea area. With a massive 50M+ damage, he instantly blasted dozens of nearby level 101 sea beasts, each with only 28M HP, to death.
["Ding~ You killed level 101 [Mutant Devil Fish], EXP +1.2 million, Energy +150 million, gained Ocean Purification Value 0.1!"]
["Ding~ You killed level 101 [Mutant Crayfish], EXP +1.2 million, Energy +150 million, gained Ocean Purification Value 0.1!"]
["Ding..."]
In shallow sea areas, the drop rate of monsters is the lowest.
One monster can only provide 0.1 purification value. To complete the realm mission of obtaining 10,000 purification value points means killing one hundred thousand sea beasts.
Efficiency is too low.
Zhang Yue dived directly.
["Please note: you have entered Tier 3 Sea Region!"]
["Please note: you have entered Tier 5 Sea Region!"]
.
.
.
Zhang Yue was like a sharp blade, diving straight to the seabed.
["Please note: you have entered Tier 10 Deep Sea Zone, Danger Level: Tier 10!"]
Hearing this system prompt, Zhang Yue finally stopped.
Looking around, the visibility in the dark deep sea zone was no more than 50 yards. The unknown dangers were suffocating.
At this moment, behind Zhang Yue, a bloody mouth was approaching rapidly.
Pfft!
It directly swallowed Zhang Yue in one bite.
A massive [Deep Sea Mad Shark] swept through the sea.
But in the blink of an eye, Zhang Yue appeared beside the Deep Sea Mad Shark.
Using Shadow Shift to dodge the attack, Zhang Yue quickly cast a spell. A fierce SSS-level unique skill [Thunder: Dance of Lightning] struck the Deep Sea Mad Shark hard.
-63.25 Million!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Powerful electric currents rolled continuously within the Deep Sea Mad Shark. In an instant, the beast was charred inside and out by the electricity.
A smell of grilled fish wafted out, nearly making Cherry and Skeleton King beside him drool with hunger.
["Ding~ You killed level 105 [Deep Sea Mad Shark], EXP +5 million, Energy +500 million, Ocean Purification Value +10!"]
The drop rate in the Tier 10 sea region is truly high.
Not only is the EXP and Energy return several times that of regular level 105 monsters, but each kill directly gives 10 purification value.
At this rate, killing just one thousand deep sea beasts would complete the realm mission.
So, in order to quickly complete the realm mission and enter the Death Territory, Zhang Yue activated slaughter mode.
["Ding~ You killed level 105 [Deep Sea Piranha]..."]
["Ding~ You killed level 105 [Deep Sea Mad Shark]..."]
["Ding..."]
Not only that, but even Zhang Yue's class effect [Necro Reap] had its trigger rate increased significantly.
Originally only a 1% chance to trigger, now nearly one in every ten sea beasts could be reaped, the trigger rate directly rose to 10%.
As for equipment, gold coins, materials and such drop rates — needless to say, even higher.
Soon, the professionals of the Heavens Hall also arrived at the Tier 10 deep sea zone.
With Tier 10 protective shields, they too began their slaughter in the deep sea zone.
Full gold gear + all SSS-level skills, and more than 90% of them were elite-level professionals.
With this kind of strength, even being level 95 and fighting level 105 sea beasts ten levels above, the people of Heavens Hall weren't afraid at all.
Although none could instantly kill a sea beast with a single skill like Zhang Yue could, they could still form five-man teams, and with coordination, instantly kill a level 105 sea beast within three seconds.
Compared to ordinary five-man professional teams who needed at least one minute to deal with one sea beast, the strength of Heavens Hall was undoubtedly overpowered.
At such efficiency, Zhang Yue needed less than ten minutes to kill one thousand sea beasts and gained ten thousand purification value.
Afterward, he spent another half an hour to lead all Heavens Hall members to complete the mission.
After all, a team must act like a team.
Upon completing one of the world missions, they earned the qualification to enter the Death Territory.
After retreating from the deep sea zone, they prepared to advance into the Death Territory.
The entrance to the Death Territory of the World 18 was on a sea island.
Of course, not the safe zone [Island of Despair].
When Zhang Yue and the members of Heavens Hall arrived at that sea island, they saw a huge purple light screen blooming above the island.
Outside the light screen, many professionals from Dragon Nation were gathered.
Those were the ones who had already completed the realm mission and met the conditions to enter the Death Territory.
However, they stood still outside the entrance, hesitating to go in.
When Wu Haotian entered the crowd and casually asked a passerby, "Bro, why aren't you going in?"
That warrior youth in black armor looked bitter, "We're being targeted. As soon as we enter, we get attacked by professionals from other countries!"
Just as he was speaking, suddenly, a large group of professionals fled out of the light screen ahead in a messy retreat.
All those people had low health bars above their heads, clearly just finished a battle.
At the front, a buzz-cut knight clenched his fists, furious, "Bastards! They not only took our territory but also killed our people! Those damn bastards are coming straight for our Dragon Nation!"
"A small Nation ranked in the thirties actually dares to invade Dragon Nation, which is ranked third in this realm!"
People present sighed one after another, "No way around it. They have Beacon Nation and Cold Nation backing them, so they act so recklessly."
"Let's all leave. Facing their Seven-Nation Allied Force, if our Dragon Nation professionals enter the Death Territory, it's just death."
Amidst the conversations, Overlord Blade found the group of professionals who had just been driven out of the Death Territory, and asked the buzz-cut knight in the lead, "Where was the place you got taken over, and which Nation are they from?"
"Go straight about three or four miles after entering the portal. There's a Water City. They're from Oil Nation," The buzz-cut knight looked at Overlord Blade and said, "Brother, I know we Dragon Nation people can't swallow this anger, but there's no way. The Seven-Nation Allied Force is too strong!"
"Brother, don't go in. Just hide and develop within the National Territory."
Overlord Blade nodded, "Okay. Got it."
"Next—leave it to us."
"Leave it… to you?", The buzz-cut knight was a little surprised, "Bro, don't be impulsive. Honestly, even though we were bullied, the loss wasn't big."
"The professionals from Oil Nation who occupied that Water City are numerous, and they have high-quality equipment provided by Cold Nation. They're very strong. Brother, you can't beat them."
Others nearby also tried to persuade, "Yeah, at this point, better to stay low. Let's develop inside the National Territory first, and when our strength rises, then go fight in the Death Territory!"
"No more waiting," Overlord Blade planted his long blade into the ground, "If we fight, it's now."
As the words fell.
ROAR—
Accompanied by a deafening dragon roar.
A massive dark dragon, so large it could blot out the sky, suddenly soared over everyone's heads and flew into the light screen before everyone's eyes.
Seeing this dragon, everyone on the scene was completely shocked.
"Z-Zero God!!!"
At this moment, Overlord Blade, Vice President of Heavens Hall, pointed the long blade in his hand toward the entrance to the Death Territory ahead. His eyes burned with intensity as he shouted, "Heavens Hall, attack!"
