C27 One More Life Slaughtered the Beginner Village and Shocked the World!

Suddenly, the figure ahead halted in their tracks.

Lin Bei then swung his long blade, his voice cool and detached, "So, you're looking to join in the fun too?"

His words seemed to solidify the very air around them!

All the nearby players had already figured out the identity of the man before them.

Wasn't this the One More Life who had just claimed two announcements?

They hadn't anticipated encountering him in such a situation!

The mood turned tense in an instant.

No one responded to Lin Bei's challenge, nor were they ready to be dismissed so easily.

But then, the group's leader stepped forward, his voice cold and haughty, echoing with his steps.

"One More Life, Misty Village isn't your personal playground!"

"You ought to learn the value of discretion!"

"Otherwise, when you're no longer entitled to your pride, you'll face everyone's scorn and retribution."

Lin Bei gave him a cool glance.

He quickly recognized the speaker as a Warrior, clad almost entirely in Bronze Equipment, with a piece or two of Silver Equipment.

His ID was Fancy Song Questions.

Lin Bei instantly recalled his details.

In his past life, there were twenty renowned guilds in Huaxia.

And the commander of the seventh-ranked Night Rain Guild was none other than Fancy Song Questions!

Who would have guessed that not only was this man in Misty Village, but he had also assumed the role of chief commander ahead of time.

Lin Bei let out a laugh, his eyes scanning the group before him as he countered, "Tell me, if I kept a low profile, would you really let me pass?"

Silence was the telling response.

No one was willing to forfeit their prize so readily!

As long as Lin Bei emerged from those ruins, not even the top player of Eon Realms could deter them from their quest!

After all, no matter the allure of Eon Realms, it remained just a game.

Once outside, under the game's protection, anonymity prevailed.

The air grew thick with tension.

Fancy Song Questions unsheathed his sword, resting it on the ground.

Amidst a cloud of dust, he declared with pride,

"One More Life, surrender the treasures from the tower, and we'll grant you safe passage."

"Because you're so skilled, I've devised this plan!"

"I hope you're aware of the current predicament!"

"After all, as you know, if you lose a level in Beginner Village, it's incredibly tough to climb back up."

"And that's especially true since you've managed to alienate every player in Misty Village!"

The players gathered weren't aligned with a single faction.

Quite the opposite, they were a diverse bunch!

They had all come for the rewards inside the tower!

They wouldn't hesitate to cross One More Life completely if it meant getting those rewards!

When it comes to benefits, flattery is pointless!

If Mythical was their enemy, they would slay Mythical and ensure its utter downfall!

If one team wasn't sufficient, they'd simply double their numbers!

And if two teams weren't enough, they'd keep on adding more!

They were numerous and fearless!

In a flash, each player drew their weapon, signaling to Lin Bei their readiness for battle!

They were poised to unleash every skill at their disposal, ready to charge at the slightest hint of refusal from Lin Bei!

Lin Bei, eyebrow arched at the sight, remained composed.

"Listen up, I'll only say this once!"

"I've claimed the treasures of the tower, and they're beyond your reach."

"Should you choose to engage, rest assured, you'll deeply regret ever stepping foot here!"

His words cast a shadow over the faces of the players.

Lin Bei had the audacity to look down on them.

He even had the gall to threaten them. Such arrogance!

Lin Bei's remarks sparked a fury!

Outraged cries echoed far and wide like crashing waves!

"He thinks he's unbeatable just for taking down a few fools. I'm going to put him in his place today!"

"Enough talk. Let's take him down! Then we'll blockade this area and Beginner Village. Let's see if he keeps up his bravado then."

"If he doesn't surrender the tower's rewards, we'll take him out! Who does he think he is to deserve them?"

The players around showcased the darker aspects of human nature.

Yet in this moment, not a soul turned away.

The might of the masses was unstoppable!

With a faint smile, Fancy Song Questions spoke again in his haughty tone, "Mr Another, it looks like you've managed to make enemies of the entire Misty Village this time around!"

"Really? If you've got the courage, come at me! If not, beat it!" Lin Bei scoffed, tightening his grip on the Blade of God, his voice icy.

Lin Bei mused to himself, "How intriguing! Well then, let's have ourselves a grand battle today and see who's the mightier one!"

Fancy Song Questions narrowed his eyes, a glint of savagery sparking within.

He hadn't anticipated Lin Bei's refusal to submit. Did he have an ace up his sleeve, or was it sheer defiance?

But the rising clamor of thousands set on taking Lin Bei down quickly erased Fancy Song Questions' last shred of doubt.

Drawing his weapon, Fancy Song Questions hoisted it aloft and bellowed, "Everyone, let's take him down now! We'll have one team guard the body while another heads back to Misty Village. We keep fighting until he coughs up the goods! Then, we'll all vie for the spoils based on our skills! Go!"

At his command, the players around him brandished their weapons.

They charged towards Lin Bei in a frenzied onslaught, their faces twisted with greed and bloodlust.

Such scenes would become commonplace in the Eon Realms.

But Lin Bei was no stranger to this.

He watched the chaos unfold in silence, his gaze steady.

With a decisive motion, he plunged the Blade of God into the earth.

From his backpack, Lin Bei produced a scroll ablaze with flames and tore it open, unleashing a torrent of fire.

The scroll burned and merged into Lin Bei's being. It coursed through his body, channeled by his palms, splitting into two mighty forces—one soaring skyward, the other sinking into the ground.

The earth glowed a fiery red, engulfed in a sea of flames.

Above, the heavens transformed into an ocean of fire, a colossal phantom enshrouded in flames hovering among the clouds.

A tremendous, oceanic pressure descended upon the land.

Flames raged across the terrain.

The advancing horde, intent on Lin Bei's downfall, halted, their HP dwindling by 3% every second.

They could palpably sense their HP draining away!

Crushed by the overwhelming Berserk State, their gazes were drawn involuntarily to the apparition hovering in the void.

Abruptly, the phantom lifted its palm, transforming into a blaze that fused with the clouds!

At that moment, the system's alert echoed in everyone's consciousness: "Player One More Life has unleashed the Forbidden Scroll of Fire God's Incarnation, summoning the Will of the Fire God!"

"Alert! Within a five-kilometer radius, in three seconds, an Ominous Fire will descend from the heavens. The flames will persist for 30 seconds. All bystanders are advised to evacuate immediately!"

"Countdown commencing: 3, 2, 1."

Panic seized the hearts of all players.

By the time they snapped back to reality, the countdown had concluded.

Then, a meteorite ablaze with dark red flames tore through the cloud cover, plummeting towards the earth!

Upon impact, the meteorite sent a fiery ripple surging across the land!

Players within its reach were instantly engulfed!

The sheer scale of the devastation was heart-stopping.

Such an onslaught was beyond the current players' ability to counter!

Deaths skyrocketed in mere moments!

A thousand-strong force stood no chance against the meteor's onslaught!

Players arriving in waves also fell prey to the attack!

For Lin Bei, not a single soul there was innocent.

In the Eon Realms, those who vie for an object must be ready to face the consequences!

Now, these people were paying the price for their earlier deeds.

Lin Bei harbored no fear of antagonizing the entirety of Misty Village.

If he did, he never would have resorted to that Forbidden Scroll!

"You have slain player Ringing Ears. You have earned 1 Experience Point!"

"You have slain player Laughing Girl. You have earned 1 Experience Point!"

"You have slain player Awesome Fire Mage. You have earned 1 Experience Point!"

"Congratulations, you've ascended to Level 14. You've been awarded 4 All Attributes and 2 Free Attribute Points!"

"Your weapon, the Moon Worshipping Blade of God, is now eligible for an upgrade. It has ascended to Gold Level. Please verify!"

As Lin Bei reached Level 14, the cataclysmic Descending Flames slowly subsided.

South Stream Valley lay in ruins, utterly devastated.

Flames engulfed the area, obliterating any trace of the players' bodies.

The players' corpses had been reduced to ash by the relentless fire.

All combatants had been forcibly ejected from the Eon Realms!

The once picturesque Lanxi Valley was no more, its beauty lost forever to the wrath of the Fire God's descent.

A pall of death hung over the place, with the debris of war scattered all around.

Lin Bei lifted his gaze to the heavens, his face a portrait of serenity.

Then, the World Announcement echoed forth.

"World Announcement: A player from Dragon Country, One More Life, has perpetrated an atrocity, slaughtering innocents. In a single act, he has slain 5,584 players. His Sin Points are off the charts. His deeds have provoked the ire of the Heavenly Law!"

"As a result, One More Life's Sin Points shall remain maxed out permanently. Each time he is slain by players, he will suffer a three-level demotion, and his equipment will be lost without fail!"

"Furthermore, One More Life is now barred from entering any city. Should he draw near, the guards will strike him down and condemn him to life imprisonment!"

"Consequently, One More Life has been branded as the Top of the Wicked and awarded the exclusive skill book, Wicked Kill!"

The announcement resounded across the realms tenfold!

Players were in shock—One More Life had single-handedly massacred over six thousand of their ranks.

Could he be anything but a demon?

But shock quickly turned to disbelief as the reality of the situation sank in.

Should One More Life fall, he would face a Level 3 penalty and the loss of all his gear—a just punishment for his crimes.

Should he dare approach a city, the guards would execute him—a fitting constraint for a mass murderer, and the players understood why.

Yet, to think he would receive a reward after such carnage was preposterous!

The players buzzed with fervent discussion over the turn of events.
