Earth's Best Gamer - Chapter 488
Chapter 488: Sun Sword Wings
In the sea north to Dragon City.
In the distance, fog filled the air. Nearby, the sparkling sea reflected the sun in the sky.
Three people stood there, forming a triangle.
One of them wore silver armor and held an ice spear. The white horse gave off a strange white glow, and its cold energy froze the sea beneath it.
The rider was none other than Zhao Yun.
Another man wore golden armor with golden wings. He suspended in the air above the sea and gave off intimidating energy.
It was Li Guang.
“Guys, bring it on!”
Opposite them was Ji Ye, who stood on the sea surface and nodded at them.
“Yes!”
The other two replied.
Zhao Yun’s horse charged out like a beam of light. Its hooves ripped the water open as it ran toward Ji Ye.
The high speed raised the sea surface, which reached Ji Ye before the rider and the horse arrived. The water turned into an ice spear dozens of meters long and flew toward Ji Ye.
“Go!”
Ji Ye stood his ground.
His Void Ring flashed, and a flaming black trident appeared.
“Hoooo!”
He held the trident in one hand and gave it a wave.
The flames rose higher, turning into a Nightmare tens of meters long with purple flames coming out of its hooves.
Its eyes were blazing red as it faced the approaching giant ice spear.
It was a Nightmare summoned by the Retribution Fire Trident!
Boom!
The Transcendent energy of ice and fire clashed with each other.
Immediately, the sea surface fluctuated, and the white mist created by the ice and fire covered an area that was over 100m in diameter.
“Impressive.”
“Is that what Transcendent power looks like?”
On the Mirage Dragon Warship a few kilometers away, some new players were watching from afar. Their eyes were filled with excitement and surprise.
It had been ten days since the yakshas and Dense Fog were destroyed.
The day before, Zhao Yun, who was the first Special hero to come to Dragon City, had made his advancement to the Transcendent level, becoming the fifth hero in Dragon City who had the real Transcendent power.
Ji Ye also finished his ten-day seclusion today and was engaged in a competition with Zhao Yun on the sea.
He had been looking forward to this for a long time.
Because of his Fusion talent, he could make advancements much faster than the heroes.
He used up a lot of the rewards he obtained from defeating the Dense Fog race and the yakshas during this seclusion and had almost reached the upper limit of Transcendent Rank-1. Most of the heroes in Dragon City weren’t his match anymore.
But Zhao Yun was a different story. Although he had just made his advancement, with his Power of Dragon Valiance, he could meet Ji Ye’s challenge.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The giant ice spear and flaming Nightmare were both gone.
But Zhao Yun didn’t stop his attack.
Covered by the white light of the Power of Dragon Valiance, he charged at Ji Ye with the Snow Spear.
Meanwhile, the white mist transformed as well, turning into hundreds of white ice blades, blocking Ji Ye’s way out.
“Hoooo!”
With the final strike of the Snow Spear, all the blades formed an ice dragon and fell upon Ji Ye with a gaping mouth.
“About time!”
Seeing this, Ji Ye’s eyes lit up.
Immediately after that, a pair of shiny wings formed by golden light appeared on his face.
The feathers on the wings were all covered by golden light and felt like sharp swords.
Together, they were as bright as a small sun.
[Sun Sword Wings]
[Level: Transcendent Rank-1]
[Rarity: Excellent]
[Description: They were fused from the wings of a yaksha, 50kg of Buddha Gold, and the power of gold of the Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique. This piece of Special equipment was created with the Treasure Refining talent. It has amazing speed and sharpness and could fuse light into its power to make a formidable strike.]
Clang, clang, clang!
Hundreds of golden swords collided with hundreds of ice spear blades.
Immediately, shards flew everywhere, and the light was blinding.
“Gosh, my eyes!”
Some of the players watching the fight in the distance had blood at the corners of their eyes.
The Transcendent ability of the Sun Sword Wings came from the Treasure Refining talent Ji Ye inherited from the yaksha queen. It could fuse the power of the Sword Wings with light, which meant that the light created by each collision contained destructive power and was similar to that of a nuclear explosion.
The strike ended when the “sun” melted the “ice spears”.
After all, Zhao Yun had only just made the breakthrough, but Ji Ye was on the edge of rising to Transcendent Rank-2.
But Zhao Yun wasn’t Ji Ye’s only opponent in this competition.
“Master Ji, be careful.”
While Zhao Yun charged at Ji Ye with his horse, Li Guang’s Night King Light Armor shone brightly as well.
The light gathered around his arms, and when he pulled them apart, the light formed a giant golden arrow.
As he spoke, the arrow flew toward Ji Ye like a streak of red light.
Clang!
It moved even faster than bullets or cannonballs.
Hardly were the words out of Li Guang’s mouth before the arrow reached Ji Ye. With the help of Li Guang’s talent skill, the red “all-conquering” light, the arrow pierced Ji Ye’s forehead.
“Ah!”
“Master Ji!”
Someone in the Mirage Dragon Warship cried out.
However, they were surprised almost immediately.
Because another Ji Ye showed up and caught the arrow that had gone through “his” forehead.
[Clone]
[Level: Transcendent]
[Rarity: Superior]
[Description: It consists of the replication skill of the yaksha race, the Demon Duplication of the Thousand-Year Tree Demon, and part of the power of Mirage Dragon Pearl. It could clone the body as well as the mind, enabling one to do multiple tasks at the same time.]
That was the second Transcendent-level achievement Ji Ye created during his ten-day seclusion.
As a Transcendent-level skill, its most impressive characteristic was that the clones were tangible. Not only could they use Ji Ye’s skills, but they could also perform tasks individually.
“Chief Li’s arrow really can puncture clouds and mountains. It’s powerful enough to intimidate Transcendent Rank-2 beings, and even above…”
Ji Ye was amazed.
Although the clone had weakened the red light of Li Guang’s talent, and he had covered his right hand with Dragon Aura and dragon scales when he caught the arrow, his palm was still bleeding.
As one of the most famous archers in history, Li Guang indeed had a formidable talent skill. His arrow could kill real Transcendent Rank-2 or Rank-3 beings if it hit their critical points.
“But you still caught it, Master Ji.
“However, my saber isn’t that easy to stop!”
Li Guang smiled.
The bow and arrow then disappeared.
Whoosh!
His armor shook, and a streak of golden saber energy flew toward Ji Ye.
The skill was called “Yaksha Heavenly Moon Saber”.
It was a reward Li Guang gained after defeating the Transcendent yaksha king.
The name was rather intimidating, and its power was equally impressive as well.
Its greatest feature was the saber energy released by the golden wings of yakshas. Under Li Guang’s control, it could change its direction in mid-air.
Because of that, it was very difficult to fend off.
Ji Ye only smiled.
He held up the golden arrow and put it horizontal to the ground.
Hum!
The arrow trembled in his hand and quickly absorbed the blood on his palm
Then, there was a dragon’s roar, and the arrow turned into a mini dragon about a meter long. It then charged at the golden saber like a streak of golden light.
The golden saber energy could change direction, so could the little golden dragon.
[Make a Dragon]
[Level: Transcendent (upper limit: Rank-5)]
[Rarity: Perfect (Rare)]
[Description: A rare skill created by fusing the Eye Painting Brush with the True Dragon Blood.]
It was the first Perfect Transcendent skill Ji Ye created by fusing a drop of Legendary True Blood with the Eye Painting Brush.
It was more effective than the original skill.
Because the object transformed by the skill would not only retain its original ability, but it could also obtain some of the real dragon power.
The transformation would only take a brief moment, and according to the information that Ji Ye received during the Fusion, if he could spare more Legendary True Blood, he might even be able to permanently transform an object into something that had its own consciousness.
Of course, the drop of Legendary True Blood was used up during the Fusion.
But it didn’t matter, because, inside Dragon Peak, there was an entire frozen True Dragon Heart.
Boom!
The saber and the little dragon collided with each other in mid-air, and there was another loud bang.
“Ah, my ears!”
“Gosh, first my eyes were gone, and now, my ears are injured. Are Transcendent-level battles so terrifying?”
On the Mirage Dragon Warship, blood oozed out of some people’s ears.
The battle between Transcendent beings would affect an area of several kilometers in diameter. People of Ordinary level wouldn’t even be able to withstand the aftereffect.
Boom, boom, boom!
The competition between the three men lasted for over 15 minutes.
Ji Ye tested out everything he had learned in the past ten days and felt that he was ready to make the breakthrough to Transcendent Rank-2.
“Master Ji, we’ve finished transforming the settlement core of the Dense Fog race.”
Just then, he heard Su Nongying’s voice on SkyNet.
“Great!”
The three men finished the competition.
Golden light then covered Ji Ye.
He then turned into a streak of golden light and flew toward Dragon City.
During the Fusion of the wings, Ji Ye comprehended one of the 36 Heavenly Spirit techniques—Teleporting Golden Light.
By covering himself with the power of gold, he could turn into golden light and travel at a high speed.
But just like the Distance Reduction, because the Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique was only of the Extraordinary level, the Teleporting Golden Light wasn’t a real Transcendent skill.
Otherwise, he might be able to turn his physical body into light. That way, his speed would be unmatched.
“I hope the next ten Transcendent heroes we summon will contain a Daoist practitioner who understands the transformation of Heavenly and Earthly Spirits.”
After the golden light dissipated, Ji Ye appeared in his residence, and he had an idea.
Of course, he had to do something first.
He was going to build Dragon City’s first sub-settlement using the Dense Fog settlement core that had been transformed by the twin dragons.
