Chapter 809: Ultimate Skill

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Big Boy loved to play with other people’s wives. That was no secret. It was something Li Yi had known both in his past and current lives. Hence, when he heard Big Boy’s surprising question, he was not taken aback at all.

It would be weirder if Big Boy did not say all that.

Li Yi merely smiled as he put his hands next to Big Boy’s ear, whispering one line to him.

“Scum! Shameless! Lowest of the low! I despise you!”

After Big Boy heard that, his face completely changed. It looked like someone had just stepped on his feet, he almost lost his cool at that moment.

“What happened?”

“What’s up?”

The two girls were utterly confused.

“Nothing much, I just played a prank on him.”

Li Yi wore a winner’s smirk on his face as he looked over to the pale-faced Big Boy.

Qian’er asked curiously, “Brother, what did he say to you?”

As Big Boy opened his mouth, after hesitating for a long time, he finally managed to force out a few words.

“Sis, he’s a pervert. You better think about this carefully.”

Qian’er was stunned.

The reason for Big Boy’s visit was no doubt to bring Qian’er back home. However, he had never even thought of forcefully taking Qian’er away. He wanted to leave the initiative to Qian’er, letting her decide on her own.

Big Boy went back to take a seat on the sofa. After a long moment of silence, he had finally calmed himself down.

“One month’s time. If you’re not back by then, the old man is gonna make a move personally.”

Qian’er still shook her head. She had made her choice long ago. No matter how his family tried to force her, she would definitely not marry King Fifth.

Liking a person and finding a person disgusting were both similar concepts. Neither required any logical reason.

Even if King Fifth was not a panty-thief, even if he was not caught up in the whole affair scandal, Qian’er would still find King Fifth disgusting. If someone were to ask her the reason behind her disgust, even she herself would not be able to give you a straight answer.

Fate just works in mysterious ways.

“Sis, I’ve said all I have yo say. I don’t wanna stay here any longer. Lil Jie, you should also leave with me.”

Big Boy hurriedly stood up.

Li Yi asked, “Why are you leaving so early? Why not join us for a meal before leaving?”

Big Boy was not in an emotionally stable state right now, he rapidly shook his head as he instantly rejected the offer.

“I don’t wanna interact with perverts any longer! Lil Jie, let’s go!”

Bai Jie frowned. “I wanna stay over with Qianqian for a couple days, why don’t you head back first?”

Big Boy suddenly shouted, “NO! Definitely not!”

Qian’er saw that something was fishy. She stood up and looked over at her brother in shock, “What is going on with you?”

“I... He... I...” Big Boy could not say anything as he started to flush red.

At this point, Li Yi spoke once more, “Why not both of you stay here for a few days?”

“Over my dead body! I’m leaving!”

Big Boy was definitely a man of his word at least. When he said he was leaving, he really left. Before the others could even react, he had already walked out of the door.

Qian’er helplessly shook her head, “This kid...”

Li Yi chuckled as he walked out.

“I’ll send off brother-in-law.”

...

Big Boy came and went like a storm. In total, he barely even stayed for half an hour. All because of Li Yi’s single whisper.

Everyone had weaknesses, more specifically, everyone had an Achilles’ heel. Li Yi merely just aimed right at Big Boy’s Achilles’ heel and attacked it. It was super effective!

Although Big Boy had left, his girlfriend Baijie had stayed behind.

Qian’er and Li Yi’s attitude towards this whole issue was something she could never compromise on. At the same time, she had also secretly questioned Li Yi, asking him whether he could protect her.

Li Yi did not go on some grandiose and arrogant declaration. He merely just smiled and showed her an OK sign.

He had always preferred actions over words. Instead of empty words, he would rather prove it with his own actions. That was one of his many life mottos.

‘One month’s time? Forced marriage?

‘Heh!’

Li Yi had originally intended to have King Fifth run wild for a few more days, but now it looks like it was time to stop him.

Today, after Li Yi and the posse of girls went out to have a meal, as they got home, he went to the bed and lied there till 10 p.m., seemingly deep in thought. Then, he finally got out of bed and entered the game.

Whenever he faced issues that he could not resolve, Li Yi liked to replay the issue over repeatedly in his head, slowly working his way towards the optimal solution.

The Tomb of Kings dungeon’s second phase required players to absorb all black clouds. It was an extremely difficult segment.

Whilst wearing the Hall of Fame Equipment Set and wielding the Emperor’s Sword, Li Yi’s attack and movement speed were halved. Absorbing every single black cloud on the field within a limited time was extremely difficult. With one minor mistake, all his efforts would be wasted.

The reason he had not gone online for the entire day was to think of a way to solve this problem. Now that he had finally found a solution, he confidently went online and initiated the challenge.

The first phase was easily beaten. When the black clouds started to fill up the altar, Li Yi started to run. Unlike the previous times, he ran with the Golden Spiral¹in mind this time. Starting from the center, he started running circles around the altar, slowly moving further out as he went.

This method sounded silly on paper, but by the time Li Yi finished covering the entire altar, every single black cloud had successfully been absorbed by him, leaving not a single cloud behind.

The second phase was through!

This was the result of the tactic that he had spent an entire day to come up with. It had easily beaten the second phase’s requirements!

At the center of the altar, the Dark Emperor Prado’s silhouette slowly appeared. When Li Yi paced towards it, right before Prado’s body had fully taken form, he thrust the Emperor’s Sword into its heart.

The final quest of the Heart of Ancient Kings quest dictates that in the final phase, the player had to use Prado’s “Black Blood Curse” to awaken the Emperor’s Sword!

“Tschhh——”

Black smoke burst out of Prado’s body as it cried out in agony. It desperately grabbed on to the Emperor’s Sword with both hits hands, trying to pull it out.

How would Li Yi ever let it do as it pleases? Grasping the sword with both his hands, he roared out as he thrust the sword even deeper into Prado’s body, not showing it a shred of mercy.

The two were stuck in this position for nearly three minutes. As all the black blood in Prado’s body finished spilling out, its body slowly turned into black smoke, slowly dissipating away around the Emperor’s Sword...

[Congratulations, you have completed the quest “The Hearts of the Ancient Kings”. The Emperor’s Sword’s attributes have been unleashed! The Hall of Fame Equipment Set’s attributes have emerged!]

After a long series of Hall of Fame quests, he had finally completed it all.

At this point, the Emperor’s Sword that Li Yi was wield had its blade turned completely black as it was encased in a mysterious glow. Its new attributes were now proudly displayed.

[Emperor’s Sword(God-tier)]

[Equipment Class: (None, Can’t be equipped)]

[Imperial Authority(Special Skill): Allows the player to “Teleport” anywhere on the Pantheon Continent without any restrictions. This skill can be used once every one minute.]

[Imperial Guards Summon(Ultimate Skill): Summons 500 Imperial Guards to battle. This skill can be used once every six days.]

[IAncient Kings Summon(Ultimate Skill): Summons 25 Ancient Kings to battle. This skill can be used once every six days.]

[Power of the Ancient Kings(Ultimate Skill): ??? Unlocking requirements: Unknown]

...

The Emperor’s Sword was not a Class-based Weapon, so no players could equip it. In order to activate the Ultimate Skills stated there, all they had to do was to hold the sword in their hands. It was that simple.

After checking the attributes of the Emperor’s Sword, Li Yi was both shocked and ecstatic. He had tasted the real strength of the Imperial Guards first hand. He had originally thought that these fellows were just guardians of the “Emperor’s Basilica”, but never would he have expected that these guys could be summoned.

Furthermore, the second skill even summons the Ancient Kings. That was literally the most OP skill one could think of. Just imagining all twenty-five of the Ancient Kings being under his command, Li Yi could not help but get excited.

Then, he found an even greater surprise.

As he held Wind Sword on one hand and the Emperor’s Sword, he discovered that the two summoning Ultimate Skills had their cooldowns reduced to two days.

Apparently, the cooldown reduction of the Wind Sword also affected these Ultimate Skills!

Li Yi held the Emperor’s Sword up high as he unleashed the Imperial Guards Summon Ultimate Skill.

The scene looked reminiscent of when a Dark Paladin summons their Undead Horde. As black smoke engulfed the area around Li Yi, 500 Imperial Guards started to emerge all around him.

Based on Li Yi’s observations, he realized that all the Imperial Guards had the same level. They were all at Level 187, the exact level he was at currently. Looking at the Imperial Guards’ levels, it was based on the summoner’s original level. Whatever level the summoner was, the Imperial Guards would have that level.

Of course, excluding all this, the thing Li Yi cared about the most was how long these Imperial Guards could be summoned. His findings left him quite satisfied. These Imperial Guards could be summoned for up to 24 hours.

“Imperial Guards, forward!”

As Li Yi pointed his sword forward, the 500 Imperial Guards all charged blindly ahead. After charging for around 500 meters, they finally stopped. Then, no matter how much Li Yi ordered them, they no longer moved a single inch.

They could be used only wherever they were summoned. This gimmick could not leave the original summoning area too much. Otherwise, if someone summoned this group of OP creatures and go on a massacre, who could stop them?

Li Yi did not bother trying out the Ancient Kings Summon. He imagined that these two Ultimate Skills’ details should be similar, with the only difference being that the Ancient Kings were much stronger than the Imperial Guards. Hence, there was only need to test one of them.

As for the third Ultimate Skill – the “Power of the Ancient Kings”, Li Yi literally had no idea about what it could be. There was literally no description available for it, neither was there any unlock method stated as well. There was no way for him to figure out what the skill did.

Li Yi could not figure it out even after fiddling with the Emperor’s Sword for nearly half a day. In the end, he helplessly kept the sword away as he now started to equip the newly-upgraded Hall of Fame Equipment Set on his body.

The thoroughly gold Hall of Fame Equipment Set’s stylized design looked extremely eye-catching. With the full set equipped, it gave off an aura of an Emperor who had just descended from the heavens. Prideful and intimidating, it gave off an air of superiority and authority.

Before the “Pantheon’s Fury” expansion pack was released, this equipment set was the strongest equipment set that players could attain. Just the base attributes was already leagues above every single equipment combination out there...

It had increased a ton of attributes, ten to be exact. Every single piece of this equipment set had three or four special skills. In all these three pieces of equipment, they each had an unlockable hidden attribute. Even if we completely disregard the base attributes of this equipment set, just these three hidden attributes would be enough for the Hall of Fame Equipment Set to shine.

These three hidden attributes were the foundation of the Hall of Fame Equipment Set’s strength.

After checking the attributes on the Hall of Fame Equipment Set, Li Yi was extremely satisfied. Even before he had gotten his hands on these versions of the Emperor’s Sword and the Hall of Fame Equipment Set, he was confident that he could wreck Tyrant Sword King the Fifth. Now, confidence was an understatement. He was one hundred percent sure that he could annihilate him!

“Tyrant Sword King the Fifth, looks like your death sentence is here!”

With a wave of his hand, he instantly teleported away from the “Tomb of Kings” dungeon.

...

“Bam!”

“We can’t buy back 70% of the shares? Dad, what the hell are you doing?”

In the office, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth slammed both his hands on the table as he screamed angrily at Wang Leitian.

If the company did not manage to control more than 51% of the shares, then King Fifth would not even dare to imagine what would happen.

Wang Leitian’s face sunk. “I didn’t have a choice. I was originally planning to cut my losses, but who would’ve expected the Shangri-La project to get a miracle comeback?”

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth looked a little unstable. After deliberating for a long while, he finally angrily shook his head, “My efforts won’t be wasted! Dad, take out all your assets right now, we’ll get back all our shares, no matter the cost!”
