MMO: Pierce Heaven Til’ It Breaks

Li Yi was over the moon as he had just looted two gold equipment from Not Gray Wolf. He quickly left Not Gray Wolf’s corpse as this was not in the Eastern Continent. The entire surrounding was filled with enemies and he would be spawn camped if he were not careful. It would be difficult to recover if that were to happen.

Li Yi rode the Crimson Tiger King and raced towards safety. Just as the Silver Moon Canyon was right before his eyes, A purple shadow overtook him from behind and blocked his path.

Li Yi was stunned as he immediately recognized the person sitting on the purple fox.

“Night Moon!”

In his past life, he had exchanged blows with the Western Continent’s queen a few times. The end result was a tragedy as he had never won once.

This average looking woman who had a figure similar to a washboard had another nickname known to every player other than the Eastern Continent’s Queen.

It was Moon God!

She was a God-tier player, which was one level above Li Yi’s Emperor title.

Night Moon was riding a fox mount called Purple Electric Fox. It was an Epic-Level combat mount which possessed the fastest SPD on land (200%). What made everyone envious about this mount was that it also provided an additional 10% ATK SPD to its owner.

Night Moon twirled her axes as she charged towards Li Yi. It was obvious that she wanted a fair fight with Li Yi as she decided to face him head-on instead of ambushing him.

Before Night Moon was able to reach Li Yi however, the latter whistled as he summoned the Violent Bear King.

Li Yi hid behind the Violent Bear King so that Night Moon’s Charge would collide onto the Violent Bear King, forcing her into a stop.

“Chain Arrow! Eliminate!”

Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh!

Three arrows went straight towards Night Moon.

“Violent Throw!”

Night Moon shouted as her body turned red, grabbing the Violent Bear King and threw it at Li Yi.

“Rocket!”

Li Yi activated the Rocket Propellant to evade the Violent Bear King as it crashed into a tree the size of a human. The tree cracked as branches broke into pieces and the Violent Bear King’s HP went down to half.

Night Moon used her mount to close the distance between her and Li Yi. The Purple Electric Fox had a movement speed of 200%. This meant that Li Yi would not be able to outrun her even if he were to use the Crimson Tiger King. It was yet another disadvantageous battle for Li Yi.

“Crackle…”

As Night Moon advanced toward Li Yi, a chill traveled from her feet to her body. She had stepped on Li Yi’s Frost Trap and was frozen!

Li Yi immediately circled behind her, activated Violent Bear’s Protection and charged up his Power-Up Arrow.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The fully charged Power-Up arrow was shot directly towards Night Moon’s head and a critical hit appeared!

[-3798!]

“Repelling Shot!”

Li Yi shot out another arrow as Night Moon turned her head, knocking her back several steps as the distance between them widened.

“Resounding Shot! Crippling Shot!”

Numbers kept appearing above Night Moon’s head. Although the Violent Warrior class had a huge amount of HP, their DEF was incredibly low. Li Yi was able to easily inflict 1000+ damage per arrow and this gradually left Night Moon on the verge of death.

She raised her head up as she drank an Advanced-Level HP Potion.

Dark Wing snickered as he set up another Frost Trap underneath him while waiting for Night Moon to charge towards him again.

It took Night Moon years of training to become a God-tier player. Her current strength was similar to Unending Unmatched where they had just begun their journey and had yet to reach their peak similar to the past life.

She was at best, a professional at this stage and was far from being God-tier. In comparison to them and Li Yi, who had eight years of experience in this game, right now he was without the doubt, the man worthy of the title God-tier!

Night Moon and Unending Unmatched were no match against him in terms of experience, battle strategy, predictive ability and grasping the opponent’s intention.

Li Yi shot one arrow after the other and did not give Night Moon any opportunity to rally. Li Yi was so happy at seeing the future God-tier player turning into his toy that he began to shoot even more excitedly.

“Let me help you, Night Moon Guild Master!”

Then, Not Gray Wolf rushed to the scene and summoned three Little Skeletons with a wave of his hands. He wanted to steal the glory in the fight against Li Yi.

“Violent Throw!”

Without any hesitation, Night Moon grabbed Not Gray Wolf as if he was a little chicken and threw him towards Li Yi…

“Powered-Up Arrow!”

Chip chip chip…

Li Yi did not even charge the Powered-Up Arrow as he fired, piercing through Not Gray Wolf’s body as the latter was killed in an instant. The Powered-Up Arrow did not stop as it went on and hit Night Moon. Another critical hit of -1342 was dealt and put her to the ground.

It was a double kill!

“F*cking idiot, you made both of us die.” Not Gray Wolf could not help but scold Night Moon…

Another equipment had dropped out from Not Gray Wolf. Li Yi saw from afar that it was a blue equipment. Night Moon, too, had dropped an item and that attracted Li Yi as it was glowing in purple.

Li Yi walked towards it to pick it up and he was ecstatic.

[Hamar’s Pierced Bone Necklace ( Purple Grade Epic-Level)]

[Equipment Level: Level 50]

[200-350 ATK]

[STR +50]

[AGI +50]

[END +50]

[ATK SPEED +10%]

[Special effect: Grants 5% chance to pierce through the target’s armor (Target’s armor becomes 0)]

[Note: This necklace is made from Hamar’s skull and is worn by the strongest warrior of the Mammoth Tribe. Other than having a disgusting stench covering it, this item is perfect in all aspects.]

…

Great. Li Yi was still lacking an Epic-Level necklace.

“Thanks for that, Guild Master Night Moon.”

Li Yi sneered as he put on the Bone Necklace. He walked towards Not Gray Wolf and kicked away his blue equipment.

“You… How dare you insult me!” Not Gray Wolf was so furious that he almost resurrected right there and then.

An Ironback Dragon came, picked up the blue equipment and disappeared into the shadows.

“Dark Wing! I swear I’m not a man if I don’t take my revenge!” Not Gray Wolf was infuriated.

“Bye!”

Li Yi got onto the Crimson Tiger King and ran away…

“Night Moon you dumb girl. I wouldn’t have died because of you.”

Not Gray Wolf stood up the moment Li Yi left as he pointed at Night Moon’s corpse.

Night Moon stood up as well and stared at Not Gray Wolf coldly before she raised both her axes up high and swung it down.

[-987]

[-1567 Critical!]

Not Gray Wolf fall to the ground once more and another gold equipment dropped. Night Moon did not even bother looking as she kicked it to the side, in which another Ironback Dragon came and took it away…

“Night Moon. I swear I’m not a human until I get my revenge!”

…

Although Li Yi had been curb stomped by Brother Windcloud Nine, his journey to the Western Continent was worth it as he had obtained a lot of treasures.

The Level 50 epic necklace could be sold for at least 3,000,000 Gold Coins in the Auction even if the exchange rate of Gold Coins to actual money had skyrocketed.

“Queen Night Moon, you’ve really got yourself into deep trouble. You’ve got yourself killed since you failed to ambush me. Hahaha…”

Li Yi was happy. This battle had cleared away the frustrations he had built up in his past life.

There were no more hurdles in his way. Li Yi sprinted forward and managed to reach the Silver Moon Canyon before nightfall.

Silver Moon Canyon was filled with mountains, which was where Augustus lived. It would be impossible for the player to reach the canyon by foot as players were required to use a certain unique instrument.

Li Yi summoned the Blazing Ape so that it would climb down on its own while Li Yi sat comfortably on the Blazing Ape’s shoulder as he enjoyed the view.

The journey to the Silver Moon Canyon was the direct opposite from Blade Peak’s. One would have to climb up to the Blade Peak as it was located at the top of the mountains while one would have to keep descending to reach the Silver Moon Canyon.

While the Ice Toad King could jump up high, it was useless when it came to jumping down. The Blazing Ape would be more reliable due to its limbs. The rugged and difficult cliffs were a walk in the park for it and Li Yi did not need to give it commands at all.

Few players were able to arrive at the Silver Moon Canyon due to its uniqueness. Hence, the rewards and the temptation to reach the area would be great as it was a place that was hard to reach. Any players, regardless of their camps, would be recorded in the Hall of Fame once they had reached the Silver Moon Canyon.

“Woo! Woo! Woo!”

The Blazing Ape’s cries covered the entire mountains and plains. This mount was extremely excited as this was where it was dropped.

Normal monsters would not spawn in the Silver Moon Canyon. In fact, only rare elite monsters would spawn here. There would be a total of five monsters spawned at any given time, in which the Blazing Ape was one of them.

It took the Blazing Ape at least one hour of descending to arrive at the base of Silver Moon Canyon safely. Li Yi then received a System Notification that he was recorded in the Hall of Fame.

A neutral NPC with his name colored in yellow stood at the center of the Silver Moon Canyon. He was called the Disciple of the Holy Light, Cassio. There was a huge question mark above his head, indicating that he was the man Li Yi should talk to in order to continue his Epic-Level Quest.

“Sinner, who has abandoned the Holy Light, why are you here?” Cassio barred Li Yi’s path just as the latter was about the walk towards him.

“The Silver Moon Canyon is the source of the Holy Light. I will not allow any sinner who had stained the Holy Light to enter.”

Cassio was very emotional as he pointed Li Yi with a one-handed sword. He was prepared to attack…

His class was the Holy Shield Paladin and he was Level 90. Li Yi was no match for him with his current strength.

“Stop it Cassio!”

A pure white light engulfed Cassio, restricting his movements. Then a white figure descended from the sky. It was the Western Continent’s Camp Hero, Holy Light Envoy Elenor.

“Everyone is equal in the King of Pantheon. Everyone has their right to choose their religion and faith. Cassio, I have no doubt in your faith towards the Holy Light but you’ve got to remember that you should not bring suffering to others because of your faith.”

“Yes, master.” Cassio put away his sword, lowered his head at Elenor to admit his fault.

“We meet again, young archer from the Eastern Continent.” Elenor gave Li Yi a smile.

Li Yi laughed. “Yup. Nice to meet you Holy Light Envoy.”

The Silver Moon Canyon was the Holy Light Envoy Elenor’s hometown. However, she was stationed at the Holy Light Frontier most of the time and was rarely back at the Silver Moon Canyon.

Any high-level NPC would possess memories of their encounter. Elenor remembered Li Yi since he had brought people along to kill Elenor.

Li Yi was not afraid at all as Elenor was famous for being kind-hearted. Even if players were to kill her a thousand times, she would still smile at them the next time they met. She was the complete opposite of the vengeful Augustus.

“I see you’ve been blessed by Blackbeard’s descendant. Are you here to search for the Goddess’ Bow?” asked Elenor.

“Yes.” Li Yi nodded.

“You’re not worthy of the Goddess’ Bow. Because you’ve stained the Holy Light!” Cassio started yelling once more.

“Enough, Cassio. Have you forgotten what I’ve said earlier?”

“Yes, master…” Cassio backed down again.

Elenor put on a gentle smile. “The Goddess’ Bow has been kept by me all this while. Young archer, you have to pass my trial if you wish to obtain that bow.”

Ding!

[System Notification: Do you wish to accept Elenor’s trial?]

“Accept!” Li Yi did not hesitate at all as he chose to accept it.

“Kill him!” Elenor pointed her finger at Cassio.

“This is the first trial!”
