Chapter 401: Chapter 177: Combat Power Golden List Falls, Dripping Water Carves Stone_3

Dripping Water Carves Stone—every drop of water’s attack carries the Lord’s will.

With a wave of his hand, water droplets shoot out, catching enemies off guard.

Dripping Water Carves Stone—Entry Level!

After checking the Combat Power Golden List, Yi Tian browsed the Mercenary Golden List again.

At this moment, Yi Tian’s Mercenary Golden List ranking had broken into 3,845th place.

Over nine hundred victories, 100% win rate.

Many Lords ahead of Yi Tian frequently suffered defeats.

Yi Tian pushed himself to take tasks—these mercenaries simply couldn’t compare. Not only did Lords favor the name "Second Under Heaven," but in terms of task completion efficiency, Yi Tian crushed these mercenaries.

Every day as a mercenary, Yi Tian surged forward by a thousand ranks.

On the Points Golden List, Yi Tian’s 5.57 million points firmly held first place.

Second is Xu Lingyun; after she completed the City Building Order, she made a late but strong push. Now her Territory Points had reached 2.4 million.

On the Resource Golden List, everyone’s resources had increased significantly over nearly ten autumn days.

Besides Yi Tian’s top ranking with 1,544 stars, second, third, and fourth place each had resource stores over a hundred stars.

Yi Tian calculated—currently, they’re still far from being able to snatch anything from him.

Close Golden List System!

Having barely rested for two days, Yi Tian went to bed early tonight.

Tonight, Yi Tian put Cangshan Spirit Jade on Second Child, letting the seven Little Kiddos take turns.

Day 9 of autumn, 5:00 a.m.

Strength +4, Constitution +5, Agility +3, Spiritual Power +5.

Strength 970, Constitution 971, Agility 962, Spiritual Power 930.

Yi Tian planned—after three more days, he’d start taking Pills for a big upgrade.

Time is tight!

The World-Edge Sword was closing in on Great Success—Yi Tian predicted a breakthrough in three days.

By then, he could start practicing the second sword, Dragon Roar.

The second sword is for close combat—Yi Tian’s melee capabilities would undergo a drastic change.

9:00 a.m.—wind rolls yellow sands, arriving as scheduled.

This kind of weather isn’t suited for much work.

Lords had worked overnight; most had rebuilt their territory, and their Territory Points had increased greatly.

Many Lords had upgraded to Level 4 Territory.

Yi Tian continued his mercenary tasks.

From 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., tasks went smoothly—Yi Tian completed a total of 145 mercenary missions.

Gained 29 million Celestial Dao Coins.

Mercenary mission count: 1,069; win rate 100%.

Celestial Dao Coin balance: 6,968,500,000.

Originally, after 5:00 p.m., Yi Tian planned to keep going, but a notification from the Celestial Dao Stone interrupted him.

"Detected Celestial Dao Fortune descending upon Zone 10086. Lords, take your Mist Scrolls, leave your territory, and seek Celestial Dao Fortune."

"During Celestial Dao Fortune, no Lord may enter another Lord’s territory. Territory walls are reinforced; Indigenous People cannot enter."

"During Celestial Dao Fortune, Autumn Beasts and Withered Beasts are dormant. All living creatures in the Celestial Dao World: plagues are temporarily suppressed."

"During Celestial Dao Fortune, Golden Arena countdown suspended."

"Maximum five treasure chests may be found. Rules same as last time!"

"At 5:30 p.m., Indigenous People will sense Lords’ Celestial Dao Fortune arrival and begin hunting Lords."

"Lord’s Celestial Dao Stone will detect, within a 20-kilometer radius, the strength of all living creatures except Lords and treasure chest creatures—don’t overestimate yourself!"

"Celestial Dao Fortune lasts 24 hours this time."

"Countdown: 23:59."

This Mist-Outside Fortune is different than last time.

Last time, the Indigenous People didn’t know about Lord Fortune. Only a few learned through certain channels, or happened to encounter it.

Now, the Indigenous People know!

They can mobilize all powerhouses, including beings Lords wouldn’t even dare imagine.

But the Celestial Dao Stone grants Lords a life-saving skill—they can detect the power of all living things within twenty kilometers except for Lords.

Even if a D-level meets an SS-level, they’d have plenty of time to escape, unless—just as the Dao Stone warns—you insist on stopping a chariot with a mantis’ arm.

After the Lord attack and defense battle ended, Yi Tian felt Mist-Outside Fortune would arrive soon.

Yi Tian loved this kind of fortune—Fortune outside the territory was much better than the territory’s Fortune chest.

When Yi Tian had a million-plus points, he got a King’s Treasure Chest. Now his points are over five million.

With Indigenous People intervening, Lords with only one or two Mist Scrolls might not manage.

If danger arises, you flee, and continue through a new path.

Some Indigenous People even camp beside stone chests.

Yi Tian believed every Lord kept a Mist Scroll, but those invaders mostly kept just one, at best two.

When something unexpected happens, those invaders always lose out.

Lords in Zone 66—Yi Tian had to say sorry in his heart.

Surely many Indigenous People inside Zone 66 would hunt him down. Even if they can’t catch him, they’ll block him from treasure hunting.

Lords in Zone 66—even spotting a B-level Warrior would have to sheepishly teleport back to their territory.

This Celestial Dao Fortune event lasts a full twenty-four hours.

Purple Phoenix Moon Dance hadn’t mentioned Celestial Dao Fortune last night—this means Fortune arrives across all zones at once.

And since Fortune starts at 5:00 p.m., after Lords have been "battered" by wind and sand all day—everyone’s stamina is heavily consumed.

Treasure hunting at night isn’t easy.

Yi Tian began planning who’d go out into the mist.

Top-level Fog Scroll allows fifty people to go out together.

Prisoners locked in the Celestial Prison—no need to worry about jail breaks.

All powerhouses must go.

Two Earth Bears, one Twelve-winged Tiger Star Beast, two Eastsea Falcons, Five Tiger Generals, Yin Yang Giant Panda, Howling Moon Silver Wolf, Wind and Cloud White Tiger.

Seven Little Kiddos, Liyue and Qixin.

Thunder Yuan, Tai Zhong, Zijin Ming and Zijin Guang Brothers, Guan Yu, Yue Fei, Xin Qiji, Huo Qubing.

Plus Yi Tian, a total of forty-two living creatures.

This time, no Water Qilin—it’s strong underwater, so let it keep playing in the water and guard the territory.

Gu Qianqiu stays behind to handle internal affairs and maintain order—this expedition will be long.

Dongfang Five Brothers hold the fort—Yi Tian asked them to watch the Rose Sisters and keep anything from happening.

Yi Tian had fifty-eight top-level Fog Scrolls—in this regard, no other Lord could match him.

The Eastsea Falcon and Twelve-winged Tiger Star Beast carried everyone north to the stone platform where the mist meets the edge of the territory.

This time, Yi Tian chose north, and he also carried the Dagu Realm map.

Can’t go to Cloud Snow Forest—it’d interfere with Eastsea Falcon’s sight.

North lies a small grassland—past the grassland it’s still the Sunset Mountain Range, possibly heading straight for the range’s main peak.
