Chapter 792: 545, Legend Battle

The colossal woman before him was none other than the World Tree Goddess, Tricia!

“Oh, Great Goddess.”

Lin Da didn’t dare to show any disrespect, dropping to one knee.

In his line of sight were only the Goddess’s perfectly smooth, radiant feet.

“As the steward of the world, this is the only ‘favoritism’ I can offer you.”

Tricia gently exhaled a breath of air.

The demonic horns in the bag vanished, transforming into a golden orb of light that entered Lin Da’s body.

“Lord Brave, please reclaim the Holy Tree, draw the Sword of Brave, and save this shattered world.”

The voice grew distant by the second. Lin Da looked up, and Tricia’s figure had already disappeared.

It seemed that even a Deity could not interfere excessively in mortal matters.

“What’s this?”

The golden orb of light coursed through his body, igniting a searing sensation along his Magic Circuit.

It felt like a homeless man, who had been freezing all night in an icy gale, suddenly embraced by seven lamb-like, pure and beautiful maidens all at once.

A surge of comfort and bliss exploded in Lin Da’s heart like a thunderclap.

Oh, this feels amazing–unbelievably amazing!

He opened his eyes wide in exhilaration.

In his vision, system messages flooded in rapid succession.

[Sacrificed 221 Sacred Rank demonic horns, received the Goddess’s blessing, Experience Points +230 million!]

[Sacrificed 5 Heaven Rank demonic horns, received the Goddess’s blessing, Experience Points +260 million!]

[You have leveled up, 69-74!]

[Hit Points +100,000, Strength +10,000, Magic Power +10,000, Defense +3,000, Magic Defense +4,000, Agility +2,000, Skill Points +5, Golden Skill Point +1!]

[Current Attributes:

Level: 74 (Heaven Rank Adventurer)

Hit Points: 250,000

Magic Power: 125,000

Strength: 125,000

Experience Points: 0/200 million

…

The level 74 displayed on his interface left Lin Da momentarily dazed.

When sacrificing demonic horns, the blessings received were randomized, including but not limited to “equipment upgrades,” “talent boosts,” and “Skill Books.”

For all the demonic horns he had sacrificed, the only reward he had received was “Experience Points.”

This was likely the favoritism the World Tree Goddess mentioned.

She had slightly tweaked the probability, ensuring the rewards for the demonic horns were entirely converted into Experience Points.

And with this, he had reached level 74!

“Hahaha, hahaha!”

Lin Da laughed aloud.

At Heaven Rank, an adventurer had officially entered the upper echelon of the Mystic Continent.

Above that were only Law Tier and Legend Tier.

The number of such individuals was minuscule, barely numbering a few hundred in total.

In common terms, Heaven Rank was considered the pinnacle of power.

“Big brother, have you gone crazy? What just happened? I sensed an incredibly strong surge of power earlier.”

The magical dragon poked its head out of the bag, asking curiously.

“It was the Goddess. The Goddess helped me. I’m now a Heaven Rank Adventurer; our odds look much better now.” Lin Da patted the dragon’s head with a grin.

“The Goddess???”

“That’s right.”

Without elaborating further, Lin Da’s gaze drifted toward the nearby merchant guild.

The earthquake had caused the buildings to collapse, burying countless treasures beneath the rubble.

Among them, there was a high chance of finding Skill Books.

[Dragon Taming Skill]wasn’t considered particularly valuable as a Skill Book.

What was valuable was finding a dragon willing to sign a contract with an adventurer.

Perhaps there would be something worthwhile to discover inside.

Lin Da thought to himself, having advanced to level 74, with the power of the Dark Shadow Experience Card, he could firmly step into the Law Tier.

Once he mastered the Dragon Taming Skill, adding a mount with 500,000 health points from the magical dragon’s stats, the unity of human and dragon might allow him to intervene in Legendary battles.

Looking in the direction of the Ice Abyss, he felt the cold wind howling toward him.

“Lin Xi, are you scared? This battle will be incredibly dangerous.”

“Consider it my way of making amends. Just don’t be mean to me in the future.”

The magical dragon puffed out its chest proudly, standing atop Lin Da’s shoulder. “No matter what happens, I’ll protect you!”

“Who’s protecting who hasn’t been determined yet.” Lin Da chuckled.

He wasn’t fighting alone.

With his sister by his side, as well as Lia and Bailuo waiting for his return.

Lin Da had a dream.

To host a grand party in the mansion with all his old and new comrades.

Before his dream came true, not even the Demon God could make him fall.

With a swish, Lin Da shot like an arrow toward the collapsed merchant guild.

…

…

At the same moment, in the Ice Abyss.

The cabins where the trainees lived were buried under heavy snow, while the snowflakes spun in a whirlwind, flying through the air.

They scraped against pine tree trunks, leaving gashes as sharp as knife cuts.

This was not just ordinary snow but a “Domain” unleashed by a Legendary Adventurer.

Legendary Adventurers controlled all the magic within their Domain, greatly increasing the frequency of skill casting and forming an unparalleled “momentum.” Unless armed with a Law Core at the Law Tier, any lifeform below that entering the Domain would become prey ensnared in the spider’s web, their fate entirely at the mercy of the Domain’s master.

The howling blizzard resembled a massive silver beast, roaring as it destroyed the trainees’ cabins, snapped garden plants, and caused the towering training hall to collapse into ruins.

The Ice Abyss Training Camp, which had stood for decades without faltering, was reduced to nothing in just a few minutes.

Amid the near-destroyed space, a woman with long silver hair stood quietly in the plaza.

Her eyes were closed beneath her white fox mask, her lashes coated in frost, and her sword glinting like moonlight.

The violent blizzard softened into an obedient kitten as it swept around her.

Snowflakes adorned her silver hair, rendering her aura holy and inviolable.

“Sister, you’ve kept me waiting.”

Despite afternoon having arrived, light seemed to vanish, replaced by an eerie blue starry sky overhead.

A luminous crescent moon hung high, and her long silver ponytail unfurled like a battle standard.

Another woman, concealed behind a cross face mask, appeared silently.

She carried a lance that shimmered with icy brilliance, her piercing gaze cutting through the blizzard as she came to a halt ten meters in front of Evelyn.

Her calling Evelyn “sister” confirmed her identity.

One of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demons, the [New Moon Knight]Tafu.

The two had a similar height, shared the same silver-white hair as pure as snow, and boasted flawless beauty. But there were differences: one carried a lance on her back, the other a straight sword at her waist. The New Moon Knight’s ponytail danced like a wild magical snake, brimming with vitality, whereas Evelyn’s hair flowed like a serene moonlit lake, tranquil and profound.

“I knew you’d come,” Evelyn said. “The three ants sent from Dragon’s Rest Tomb were for today’s teleportation array, yes?”

The movements of Oren and his group within the Ice Abyss had not escaped Evelyn’s notice.

Creating a teleportation array linking the Devil’s Continent and Cyan City was Oren’s objective.

The New Moon Knight nodded. “Activating a Two Realms Transmission Array consumes an immense amount of energy. Even with a Legendary Demon Core at level 90 as the price, it’s only enough for one round trip.”

She extended her hand to Evelyn, smiling faintly. “I will take you to the Demon King’s Castle to undergo the baptism ceremony. Once you become a true demon, you’ll be the fifth Heavenly King.

The two of us sisters, beneath one and above countless races.

I will share the fruits of power with you.”

“Heh…”

Evelyn let out a disdainful chuckle.

Drawing the Moonlight Longsword at her waist, she leveled the blade at the New Moon Knight’s throat and said, “Before I kill you, there’s one question I must ask. Why did you choose to make a pact with the Demon King? Have you forgotten the deaths of our father and mother?”

“Of course, I haven’t forgotten.”

The New Moon Knight’s face darkened. “But I’ve come to understand–this was their destined fate.

Without our parents’ deaths, I wouldn’t have joined the Knights Order or thrown myself fully into training.

The Legendary power we both possess today came at the cost of their sacrifice.

We should be grateful to His Majesty the Demon King. Without the Demons cruelly murdering our father and mother in front of us, you and I would still be aimless vagabonds in the slums.”

The raging blizzard momentarily paused.

“Nonsense!”

Ice-cold light shot from Evelyn’s eyes, and an avalanche of Ice Cones surged forth like a roaring ice dragon, ferociously attacking the New Moon Knight!
