Chapter 1015 – Tier 7 at Last

I did it?

Shi Feng couldn’t believe his eyes as he stared at the system notification.

He had only been flogging a dead horse when he decided to replace the Law of Destruction with the Miniature Abyssal World. After all, with the time he had left, he hadn’t had many attempts left.

However, his last-ditch attempt had not only achieved a Fusion Rate exceeding 70% but even reached 96%. Although he didn’t know how great a 96% Fusion Rate was compared to other players who had successfully advanced to Tier 7, he was more than happy to accept it.

Tier 7!

This was a realm no player from the human race’s Greater God’s Domain had ever reached. Even if he had achieved only a 70% Fusion Rate, he would’ve accepted it without hesitation, let alone a 96% Fusion Rate.

There was no doubt that any player who successfully reached Tier 7 stood among the strongest players in God’s Domain. They would become an existence revered by players of all races. They could trade blows with bona fide Primordial Gods. They were vastly superior to half-baked Tier 6 Divine Set users.

After returning to his senses, Shi Feng promptly chose to fuse with the Advanced World he had created.

Immediately afterward, he felt the Advanced World connecting with his Divine Body, causing his Divine Body to produce and supply the Advanced World with dense mana. He no longer had to commit much of his mental capacity to control and maintain the Advanced World.

One minute… Two minutes… Ten minutes…

As the Advanced World connected itself with all of the mana supply points in Shi Feng’s Divine Body, it began to refine the mana in his body. As this happened, Shi Feng felt his body heating up like a furnace.

This process continued for nearly a day when Shi Feng suddenly felt like he had become a different person—lighter and more comfortable, as if an invisible weight had been removed from his body.

System: World fusion completed. Your World Power has reached the Gold rank. Any Skills and Spells used within your World will have their Completion Rates increased by 10%. You have received an additional Tier 7 Legacy Skill to learn.

System: Congratulations! You have become a Tier 7 Sword Law Saint (Advanced Sword God). Base Basic Attributes +60,000, all Resistances +3,000, Mana recovery rate increased by 1,000%, Mana Strength increased by 500%, Concentration increased by 500%, Stamina recovery speed increased by 500%, HP recovery speed increased by 300%, Concentration recovery speed increased by 500%, all physical, magical, and mental attacks received that are below the Tier 7 standard will be weakened by 80%, all Basic Attributes increased by 500%, and reaction speed improved by 500%. Rewarding 3,000 Legacy Skill Points.

Amazing! The improvements Shi Feng received for reaching Tier 7 startled him.

The base Basic Attributes he received for becoming a Tier 7 Sword Law Saint was five times more than when he became a Tier 6 Sword Law Saint. He also received an additional 500% bonus for all Basic Attributes. Once he factored in the bonuses from his equipment, he’d have higher Basic Attributes than when he had fought Empyreal Wraith with the assistance of Divine Blood and Abyssal Will. He had truly become a humanoid Boss.

However, what surprised him the most wasn’t the increase in his Basic Attributes but rather the 500% increase in his reaction speed. With his current reaction speed, even Mortal Gods would have difficulty keeping up with his attacks. Although their eyes might be able to keep up with his speed, it’d be meaningless if their bodies couldn’t keep up.

With my current strength, I can probably beat those Taboo Bosses, even without any techniques or Skills, Shi Feng thought, astonished when he sensed the surrounding space trembling because of his movements.

The Primordial Abyssal God’s Promotion Land was extraordinarily stable. It also exerted an unimaginable suppression on its inhabitants. Even Tier 6 players could only exhibit strength at the Tier 2 or Tier 3 standard here.

However, this suppression seemingly disappeared after he became a Tier 7 Advanced Sword God. The Promotion Land’s space now felt like paper to him, shreddable with just a little force.

After Shi Feng familiarized himself with his newfound strength, he pulled up the list of Tier 7 Legacy Skills he could learn, curious to see what achieving Gold-ranked World Power qualified him for.

[Heavenly Sword]
Requires: Sword
Tier 7 Peak Legacy Skill
Conjure a Heavenly Sword using World Power to perform a frontal AOE attack carrying up to 1,000% of your Strength.
Cooldown: 10 minutes
Learning condition: 1,500 Legacy Skill Points
[Lightless]
Requires: Sword
Tier 7 Peak Legacy Skill
Rapidly execute nine slashes. Attack Speed of each slash can be increased up to 1,000%.
Cooldown: 1 minute
Learning condition: 1,500 Legacy Skill Points
[Eternal Sword]
Requires: Sword
Tier 7 Apex Legacy Spell (Super Large-Scale Destruction Spell)
Conjure a World Sword using all your World Power to perform a large-scale annihilation attack.
Cooldown: 1 natural day
Learning condition: 2,000 Legacy Skill Points
Even the cheapest one costs 1,500 Legacy Skill Points? The cost of learning Tier 7 Legacy Skills flabbergasted Shi Feng.

The Tier 7 Legacy Skills he was offered were undeniably powerful. Even the weakest was a Tier 7 Peak Legacy Skill significantly better than the Profound Skills of Divine Artifacts. It exhibited much greater power and had a much shorter Cooldown.

However, it cost 1,500 to 2,000 Legacy Skill Points to learn just one of these Tier 7 Legacy Skills. It was many times more than what he had to pay to learn his Tier 6 Legacy Skills. If not for his promotion reward, which included 3,000 Legacy Skill Points, he wouldn’t have been able to afford even one Tier 7 Legacy Skill with his existing Legacy Skill Points.

I only have 3,910 Legacy Skill Points, so I can only pick two to learn. After deliberating on it, Shi Feng learned Lightless and Eternal Sword.

Lightless had a short Cooldown, making it highly effective in extended battles. As for Eternal Sword, although it had a long Cooldown, it was an incredible AOE Spell. So long as he didn’t encounter existences on par with the human race’s Ten Great NPCs, he could use Lightless and Eternal Sword as powerful deterrents in the war among the three races.

Just when Shi Feng finished learning the Legacy Skills and was thinking about how to return, he suddenly realized an old man with an indistinct face was standing before him.

The old man was only the size of a normal human. However, Shi Feng choked when he sensed the old man’s aura. He felt as if he was standing before a powerful Chaos Creature when he was still at Tier 6.

“How many years has it been? I never thought a young fellow like you would succeed. You even grasped an Advanced World,” the old man said. Although his appearance was indistinct, the joy in his voice was apparent. “Out of the hundreds who have succeeded in the past, you are the second to have made such an accomplishment, after the young fellow named Space. Since you have already advanced to Tier 7, it is time you returned. If the opportunity arises, I hope we can meet in person.”

As the old man finished speaking, he drew a divine rune in the air. Before Shi Feng could open his mouth, the divine rune transformed into a crimson space-time passage that engulfed and took him away from the Promotion Land.

TL Notes:
Made a change in Chapters 264, 475, 651 (These are the chapters where Shi Feng advances to Tier 4, Tier 5, and Tier 6, respectively.):
“All Basic Attributes +(value)” changed to “Base Basic Attributes +(value)” for clarity.
