MMO: Pierce Heaven Til’ It Breaks

Li Yi fought more calmly and cautiously. He did not initiate God Mode right after the battle commenced. He used only normal attacks to keep the situation under control until the Frost Giants went mad. Then and only then he did activate God Mode to reach his full potential.

Soon, the Frost Giants were cleared, and Li Yi chose to leave one alive. This time, however, he did not recall Alleria. Dismissing Freya away and placing the Violent Bear King on guard, he decided to summon his Lightning Leopard.

The previous attempt merely lacked a million damage away to kill the Frost Emperor. This time, Li Yi was confident.

The chant of the Frost Giant was completed, and the berserk Frost Emperor materialized.

Tch-psh-bish-tst-pst-brrrr-

Li Yi did not use Hunt Target. Instead, he immediately fired a Powered-up Arrow, and then followed it with a Shooting Star Arrow Hail.

The Lightning Leopard approached the Frost Emperor and began to claw at it.

The time saved by not using the Hunt Target was replaced by firing an Extermination Arrow.

When the target’s HP was below 20%, the Extermination Arrow would become a one-shot kill. This even applied to bosses.

The Frost Emperor had not yet uttered his opening speech when the HP bar above its head was zeroed.

An achievement panel surrounded by gold popped up, The Shattered Cold Heart of His Imperial Majesty was earned.

Li Yi chose to announce his first kill to the general public.

The announcement was all over, and Li Yi had achieved another glorious deed. He also received an additional skill point as a reward.

Aragon’s Emperor Sword automatically flew out of his backpack and suspended in mid-air above the deceased Frost Emperor.

The soul of the Frost Emperor emerged, gazing at the Emperor Sword above its head. It knelt on one knee with one hand resting on its chest.

The Sword returned, and it now had an engraving of an Ice Crystal on it.

This was proof that the Frost Emperor had sworn fealty to the Emperor Sword.

Before Li Yi began looting its body, he received congratulations from thousands of friends.

This was part of the Ancient Kings Dungeon Series, and he was the first to complete a heroic difficulty dungeon, as such his achievement was more significant than those clearing the normal difficulties.

Needless to say, he had caused quite a commotion.

Li Yi temporarily blocked incoming calls before he started looting.

The Virtual Inventory Pane popped up, and it was filled with a variety of fragments.

Magical Shoulder Guard Fragment of the Frost Emperor x2

Strengthening Breastplate Fragment of the Frost Emperor x1

Glorious Robes Fragment of the Frost Emperor x1

Empyrean Leggings Fragment of the Frost Emperor x1

…

Unsurprisingly, the Frost Emperor dropped a great deal.

While the normal difficulty of the Ancient Kings Dungeon Series would directly reward players with complete pieces of equipment, they were mere transition period equipment to help players deal with the heroic difficulty. The heroic difficulty dungeons, however, would only drop various types of equipment fragments, similar to the Deathwing Dungeon.

One could not expect to get any equipment without first collecting hundreds of thousands of these fragments. This was the most ‘irksome’ part of the Ancient Kings Dungeon Series.

However, after collecting enough of them and finally making the finished product, the attributes of the equipment would be extremely gratifying.

The equipment fragments produced by a heroic difficulty dungeon was far superior when compared to the garbage produced through a normal difficulty dungeon. With enough perseverance, anyone could complete a set, and its effect was almost the same as the Demon God Equipment Set.

There were only a hundred players who had a complete Demon God Equipment Set in the past life, but there were countless players who wore the Emperor Equipment Set, demonstrating a clear gap between a world boss and a dungeon boss.

However, one could not complete the Emperor Equipment Set without an extraordinary drive. The heroic difficulty dungeon could only be done once in a day. Even if one were lucky, the desired fragments might not drop as hoped. Before the fragments were assembled into a full piece of equipment, players were not allowed to trade them. To obtain the full set of Emperor Equipment if one were not willing to buy the finished products that others had assembled, one would be forced to go to the dungeons every day.

Li Yi merely took a glance and dismissed the Virtual Inventory Pane without picking anything up.

Completing the Night Emperor Equipment Set gave him nightmares in his previous life. He did not want to suffer again.

He already had three pieces of the Demon God Equipment Set, and the quest for the Hall of Fame Equipment Set was underway. There was no need for the Emperor Equipment Set anymore.

He merely wanted to complete the Luo Lan Empire’s Hall of Fame Quest.

With the Ice Crystal engraved on the Emperor Sword, he would not need to come back to Frost Graveyard again. Those few fragments were useless to him.

Li Yi withdrew and headed to unlock the heroic difficulty for the next dungeon. He never expected to walk right into an ambush.

A Weapon Warrior was on him, a Charge was followed by an Abyss-ripping Windstorm.

As his HP decreased, Li Yi noted that the assailant was an orc, bearing on his head the coat of arms of the Ninth Continent.

The orc’s Abyss-ripping Windstorm was strong, but not strong enough against Li Yi. Its damage was less than a hundred. This showed the huge difference between player level and equipment between them, this guy could not even pierce Li Yi’s defence.

Li Yi fired a Stinger Arrow and watched as the orc slowly died.

“Motherf*cker!” The orc cussed as soon as he touched the ground.

Li Yi immediately knew he met a retard.

“You think you are so strong! Just you wait!”

The orc released his soul and went corpse running.

Li Yi was speechless. He was assaulted for no reason and did not say anything, but that goon would not get off his high horse.

Such a good-for-nothing should be treated with utter indifference, it would be like tripping on one’s own shoe if one bothered to react. Li Yi did not take it to heart. He simply summoned his Holy Light Warhorse and rode off to the next dungeon, the Eternal Light.

“Kill this kid! Dark Wing my ass.”

A gang of hooligans was lurking around the entrance of Eternal Light. The emblem on their head indicated that they were also from the Ninth Continent.

One Shoot at Random and no one was left standing.

“Dark Wing, you better keep your ass down before I come inside!”

“Who do you think you are? Don’t run away from us if you still have that last chunk of masculinity!”

“Just you wait!”

The gang also went corpse running. They were not willing to submit.

Li Yi could not do anything. Although it was quite normal to be stabbed from behind, it was actually rare to see such a large group of idiots that were as unreasonably loutish as they were uncouth.

Simply inconceivable!

Li Yi remembered the orc earlier and entered his name in the Divine Looking Glass.

[Pillowside Moon (Male)]

[Faction: Ninth Continent]

[Guild: Yu’er’s Harem]

[Position: Vice Guild Master]

[Level 101]

[Race: Orc]

[Class: Weapon Warrior]

…

Yu’er’s Harem?

Li Yi immediately thought of Princess Huaiyu.

Except for that patient of princess sickness, Li Yi could not think of anyone who would come up with such a name.

It might have been a misjudgement. Princess Huaiyu had connections among all the world’s guilds and she never thought about starting a new guild. The Yu’er Harem was clearly created by a group of fanboys who were head over heels for the beauty of Princess Huaiyu.

The name, of course, was to please Princess Huaiyu.

Among more than 300 members in the Harem, none of them were women.

The reason for their assault was absolutely stupid. It was simply because Princess Huaiyu had said that it was more interesting to play with Dark Wing than all of them combined.

They were jealous and had been looking for Li Yi. Now that they found him at the Emperor’s Capital, it was only natural that they would attack him.

Li Yi was an innocent third party in this matter, plus he had absolutely zero interest in Princess Huaiyu.

After checking out their guild, Li Yi understood a bit better.

Without these flunkies fanboying after her, she might not have been infected with princess sickness.

To reason with these mad dogs was like casting pearls before swine.

Li Yi had it figured out and immediately entered the dungeon.

“Princess Huaiyu, what is the meaning of this?”

After Li Yi entered the dungeon, he sent a video clip that he recorded moments ago.

“I didn’t ask them to mess with you. I swear to God, I had no idea,” Princess Huaiyu replied without delay.

Princess Huaiyu kept on explaining but Li Yi did not give her any response. He raised his bow and began sweeping the minions.

After ten minutes, Princess Huaiyu sent a few screenshots to Li Yi, showing her telling her Harem off.

In the screenshot, Princess Huaiyu’s true nature was fully revealed, and the profanities were not pretty, even their forefathers and ancestors had not been spared.

“Please don’t be angry with me. Those sons of—they cannot compare with you! Don’t be angry please, or I will be sad.” Princess Huaiyu tried to calm him softly.

He was only a little upset that he used her hand to strike at that group of retards.

For those sycophants, killing them 10,000 times would not be as effective as Princess Huaiyu scolding them.

The Eternal Light was not the same as the Frost Graveyard. There was only one boss in the latter, and there were four mini-bosses and a final boss in the former.

The Eternal Light was also much longer than the Frost Graveyard.

The minions in the Eternal Light were all light elves. They came in large numbers, average HP, and very high in ATK.

The normal difficulty was alright. Li Yi prevailed all the way, easily defeating the Light Emperor.

He had no luck as usual. Without counting the materials, only a piece of Gold equipment was dropped, even after he went through five bosses.

Li Yi exited the dungeon and re-entered the same, but this time in heroic difficulty.
