Chapter 243 The Opportunity to Break Through to Grandmaster!

The blood moon hangs high in the sky, like a single eye that looks at everything in the world indifferently.

On the first-order dead pillar.

As Ryan stepped into the 50-meter radius, the huge black shadow that was crawling on the ground in the center of the platform slowly stood up.

The blood-colored moonlight flowed on the smooth and soft fur of the black shadow like a gurgling stream.

Its shoulder height is nearly three meters, and its body length is about ten meters, of which one-third of the length is on the long and flowing tail at the end.

Its agile and slender figure is like the most agile knight, and the dark flames burning quietly on its limbs are almost integrated with the night, making it difficult to see clearly.

As it stood up, the black hair turned white from the head.

The cold animal eyes looked down at the challenger from a high position.

"Moon Wolf?"

Looking at the true appearance of the thing in front of him, Ryan's face showed interest.

He was not unfamiliar with the Moon Wolf.

It was just the first time he had seen a moon wolf of this size and strength.

Obviously, although the moon wolf clan respected the only moon wolf king, there were still strong moon wolves in the clan.

The moon wolf under the blood moon took wolf steps and walked forward gracefully.

There was no killing intent or fighting intent in its eyes. In the long and boundless time, as the guardian of the first-level dead pillar, it had destroyed countless dead souls.

And the "wandering soul" in front of it was just an insignificant part of its daily work.

How could it attract its attention?

Ryan stood there, without moving, just quietly waiting for the moon wolf to come to him.

The huge white wolf claw was raised, and then fell, bringing a shrill wind.

The white sonic boom cloud, under the halo of the moonlight, was full of blood, like a circle of expanding blood-colored rings.

Until the wolf claw was only ten centimeters away from him, Ryan moved.

"Ding..."

In the air, there seemed to be a light bell ringing, and the body crushed by the wolf's claws turned into phantom fragments.

And Ryan's true body has appeared on the head of the Moon Wolf, with his feet on its head.

Realizing this, the Moon Wolf's indifference turned into rage.

The proud Moon Wolf clan will never allow anyone to ride except the creatures they recognize, let alone step on their heads.

"Huh..."

A low roar brewed in the throat, and the rich blood moon light emerged from its body, but before the Moon Wolf launched an attack, Ryan took the first step.

He did not draw his sword, but just raised his right foot, accumulated strength for a while, and stepped down heavily.

"Boom——"

The invisible air wave swept around from the contact surface between Ryan's right foot and the Moon Wolf's head. The Moon Wolf, which was about to explode, seemed to be hit by a mountain range. The beast's eyes rolled up, and the limbs could not support it, and it sank into the ground with a whine.

"Boom!"

The gravel and dust were wrapped around each other and rose up to a height of hundreds of meters.

The extremely solid first-order dead pillar spread spider web-like cracks covering the entire plane. If someone could observe from the side, they would be shocked to find that the edges of the first-order dead pillar were faintly cracked.

The huge pillar even showed signs of instability under Ryan's foot.

The smoke and dust gradually disappeared, revealing a huge pit. In the deepest part of the pit, the white fur of the Moon Wolf was full of blood, and the whole wolf was completely unconscious.

It can't get up again.

Ryan's footsteps landed silently on the edge of the pit. After glancing at the Moon Wolf, he turned and went to the second-order dead pillar.

The Moon Wolf's strength just reached the threshold of the demigod. There were at least two small realms of combat power between him and him, and there was an extremely huge gap in strength.

But even so, it was not to say that he was killed in one blow. At least he could resist a few times symbolically.

The reason for this situation is that the Moon Wolf was too careless. Facing an enemy whose aura he could not detect, he subconsciously thought that he was a weakling, and was attacked directly on the head by Ryan, which resulted in a one-shot kill.

For the unconscious Moon Wolf, Ryan had no intention of finishing him off.

Anyway, defeating him was considered passing.

In the "Back of the Tree, Dark Cemetery", death does not have much meaning, and will only become a "wandering soul" and fall into an endless cycle of neither life nor death.

The only way to escape this fate is the so-called "Lord of the Dead Moon".

After the battle just now, Ryan also discovered that the Moon Wolf guarding the first-order dead column was different from the normal Moon Wolf. Under the illumination of the blood moon, some special changes occurred.

Perhaps this is a unique place in this world, just like the "emptiness" of the capital of the Tree Kingdom, but Ryan needs more contact to determine the specifics.

The height of the second-order dead column is enough to be two hundred meters, and the height is almost the same.

When Ryan stepped into this room, he saw the humanoid creature guarding the center at first sight.

It was about two meters tall, with matte black skin, pointed ears, and a slender body.

"Dark elf?"

Ryan muttered to himself.

He had only seen two elves so far, one was the forest elf, and the other was the dark elf in front of him.

Of course, Ryan was not sure what the specific race name of the latter was. Dark elf was just its abbreviation.

With Ryan's arrival, the dark elf in the center of the platform also opened his eyes suddenly.

A shadow flashed in its eyes, and then, a subtle fluctuation that was barely detectable came from behind Ryan.

It was not until then that the dark elf in front slowly dissipated.

"Assassin type?"

Ryan's eyes were calm. Within his domain, any existence that invaded could not escape his perception.

"Dang!"

The greatsword was drawn out, and it was the first to arrive, and it cut the dagger held by the dark elf behind it.

...

"Boom!"

The eighth-level pillar of death.

In a wailing sound that gradually became weaker and louder, the energy fluctuations gradually subsided.

"Swish..."

Ryan exerted force with one hand and pulled the [Tyrannical Greatsword·Wolf Blood Oath] out of the head of the tiger-shaped beast under him.

Looking at the body of the tiger beast that turned into a black shadow and returned to the night sky, Ryan exhaled lightly.

"Huh..."

This shadow tiger beast is quite powerful, enough to be a senior demigod, and only one step away from entering the peak demigod realm.

If so, it would be easy to say, the key is that this guy has an extraordinary recovery ability.

Even broken limbs can be restored in a short time.

In order to save trouble, Ryan could only attack its vital points directly and wipe out its source of life - a shadow core in its skull.

With a flick of his wrist, the blood on it flew away. Ryan put the sword behind him, raised his head, and looked at the ninth-level death pillar in front of him with a solemn look.

All the way to challenge, every time he upgraded a level, the guardian's strength has increased, from the beginning of the barely demigod to the current senior demigod, only one step away from entering the peak demigod.

It is not difficult to infer that the guardian of the ninth-level death pillar must have reached the peak demigod realm.

This is not inferior to the strength of the gray dragon after being suppressed by Freni.

Even Ryan dare not say that he will win easily.

And after the ninth-level death pillar, there is still the "Lord of the Dead Moon".

Just as there are true gods in the capital of the tree country, there is a high probability that there are also people of the same level in the back of the tree, and it should be the "Lord of the Dead Moon".

The difference between the two assessment worlds is that in the capital of the Tree Kingdom, there is a century-long layout by Freni, which eventually suppressed the strength of the Gray Dragon to the demigod level, which led to the final victory.

But in Cecilia's assessment world, whether there is still such treatment is unknown.

Even if there is, it is hard to say whether the effect can be so good.

Therefore, before stepping onto the ninth-level dead pillar, it is better to improve your strength.

Especially in terms of weapons and protective gear.

If other professionals reach the demigod level, they need a long time of tempering to improve their strength even a little, but Ryan is different.

He can travel and use the systems of other worlds to achieve the goal of quickly improving combat power.

At this moment, the time is almost approaching dawn.

With the death of the guardian, the eighth-level dead pillar is empty.

It is a good place to rest.

Take out the bamboo raft and lie on it.

Look up at the blood moon.

The night breeze is gentle and cool.

I have to say that if the extraordinary factors are excluded, this is indeed a good place to rest.

Soon, the time officially came to zero.

Ryan closed his eyes.

"Travel, start!"

...

The false starry sky was shining on the inverted sky.

Ryan retracted his gaze and looked at the hall on the distant mountaintop.

Yes, this is the City of Starlight, and it is also the base camp of the Yellow Sect.

This time, Ryan did not choose to go to the Monster Hunter World, but came to the New Travel World.

And his purpose here is also very pure-that is to get two sufficiently powerful deformed souls, which are used to smelt protective gear and weapons respectively.

He already has the raw materials, the materials of [Taboo] Cinder Slash Sword Dragon, which are extremely excellent and enough to supply the needs of protective gear and weapons.

Everything is ready, only two powerful deformed souls are missing.

Ryan walked forward, and soon, he came to the gate of the Yellow Extreme Temple.

The tightly closed door automatically opened slowly to both sides because it sensed his approach.

On the high platform, Archbishop Luca, who was a maggot in the human body, looked at Ryan who was walking over, with a strong look of astonishment in his eyes: "God, Lord God's Messenger, you, your strength?!"

Because she was too shocked, she, who was always calm, stuttered when she spoke.

It had only been a few days since they last met. Although Lord God's Messenger was powerful at that time, she could still feel the threat.

But at this moment, Lord God's Messenger seemed to her like an ordinary mortal.

This situation could not have happened because Lord God's Messenger had lost all his strength. If this factor was excluded, there was only one possibility left.

That is, in just a few days, Lord God's Messenger's strength had increased tremendously, to the point where he could separate himself from her.

Just as an ant can pass by a giant elephant leisurely, it is no different at all. It is precisely because the gap between ants and giant elephants is too great that the two sides are directly in different ecological chains.

Archbishop Luca took a deep breath.

As a former hero, even if his strength dropped to the hero level due to maintaining the Starlight City, even Saint Iochilis couldn't make her feel no breath.

She knew what this meant.

If it was anyone else, Archbishop Luca would be suspicious, but since it was the Lord of God...

Then there would be no problem.

Even if there was, he had to swallow it.

"... Congratulations to the Lord of God, your strength has greatly improved."

Ryan waved his hand and said bluntly: "There is no need for polite words between you and me."

"I came to you this time to ask if you know the location of Saint Aiochlis?"

Hearing this question, Archbishop Luca couldn't help but get excited even though he had guessed it.

Her cheeks flushed with excitement, and she nodded:

"I know."

"Since Iocillis devoured the King of Life, the Immaculate Witch, although his strength has greatly increased, he has also had some spiritual disadvantages, and needs to rely on devouring a large number of ownerless souls to relieve the pain."

"In this case, it basically settles in the deepest part of the Central Church of the Brass Church, enjoying the ownerless souls sent by the Brass Church members from all directions."

"The Central Church?" Ryan nodded: "I need to trouble Ms. Luka for one thing. Is there anyone in the Yellow Church who knows the way? Please lead the way."

"Yes." Archbishop Luka said: "Knight Quinn has been traveling all year round and is familiar with the directions. He will lead the way without making mistakes."

"Quinn..." Ryan nodded: "Then I'll trouble him."

Speaking of this man who he met not long after he came to this world, Ryan remembered that he had given him the inheritance of Storm Swordsmanship before, but he didn't know how far he had practiced.

...

With the order of Archbishop Luca, Quinn soon joined Ryan and left Starlight City together.

"Gululu..."

In the brass carriage, Quinn acted as the coachman. While driving, he talked to Ryan in the rear carriage in a respectful tone.

"Lord Zifeng, I am a little embarrassed to say this."

"You taught me the Storm Sword Art. I have mastered the first sword skill, but there are still many things I don't understand about the second sword skill. May I ask you for advice?"

"Of course." Ryan's voice came from the carriage.

A happy look appeared on Quinn's face, and he quickly said what he didn't understand.

In the carriage, listening to these questions, Ryan's eyes showed a thoughtful look.

It's not that these questions are difficult. With his current three-master swordsmanship, this problem is just a small matter.

What he found interesting was that some of the points Quinn thought about were things he had never thought about before.

Although these things do not affect the power of the Storm Sword Art itself, they can expand Ryan's thinking.

Faintly, Ryan could feel that his Storm Swordsmanship, which had not moved for a long time, had a slight fluctuation.

Although it was only a tiny trace, it was also precious.

"It seems that the path tried before was correct."

"Spreading the swordsmanship, 'preaching the world', and finally 'recycling' is indeed one of the ways to break through the master of swordsmanship."

"But it takes too long. On the one hand, the practice of swordsmanship takes time, and on the other hand, it also requires the promotion of a large force. After all, if it is allowed to spread naturally, there are too many variables..."

During the contemplation, Ryan explained the doubts to Quinn outside, and the latter was overjoyed.

...

After an unknown period of time, the gurgling sound of the wheels stopped.

And Quinn's respectful voice also reached Ryan's ears:

"Lord Zifeng, the central church of the Brass Church is just ahead."

Ryan walked out of the car and looked forward.

I saw a towering super church complex between the mountains.

The brass-colored radiance shines like gold under the sunlight.
