Doomsday Online: Supreme Blessing Chapter 163: Whirlpool! Heading to the Wilderness!

Chapter 163: Whirlpool! Heading to the Wilderness!

Ou Mingcheng, the Temple of Light’s Lord, lowered his head slightly as if he were thinking about something. His knuckles tapped on the throne’s armrest, making a slightly dull sound.

He didn’t answer immediately, and he frowned in consideration.

The Elders were mostly of the mature and prudent type, so they didn’t rush him. Instead, they quietly waited.

After all, this matter was no trivial matter. The powerhouses from several cities would be taking part in the ‘contest,’ and the various factions would be plotting moves from behind the scene.

This might be an opportunity, or it could be a terrible whirlpool of death!

Whether the Temple of Light would take the initiative to be involved in this whirlpool had to be carefully considered.

The Temple of Light’s Holy Son, Ou Chen, was full of eagerness, apparently making some calculations of his own. In his opinion, since the ruins appeared in the Forest of Darkness—which was in the wilderness to the south of Unfallen City—he could take the chance to drop by and visit Link.

Ou Chen had constantly been thinking about making Link join the Temple of Light!

Moreover, he had undergone the baptism of light three times now. The aura exuding from his body was extremely vast—even his skin was glowing with a faint golden radiance. He had also become a Stage Five Star-rank existence!

Having reached this stage, he was also considered a top powerhouse, even in the Temple of Light!

Hehe, with my current strength, I should be able to bring Brother Link to the Temple of Light already, right? Ou Chen thought this silently, and he smiled uncontrollably, even rubbing his hands with excitement.

Both Wu Hao and Tian Mingyuan—who were standing beside Ou Chen— frowned slightly, sensing something amiss in their hearts.

Holy Son’s laughter is... a little vulgar.

Something’s not right. There’s something wrong with the Holy Son...

The two of them were thinking about this in their hearts when they saw Ou Chen stepping out of the queue.

After paying a salute to the Lord, Ou Chen solemnly said, “Lord, I think we should partic.i.p.ate in this contest for the relics!”

“Oh.” Ou Mingcheng raised his head, gave Ou Chen a meaningful look, and motioned him to continue talking.

“First of all, Elder Tian, Elder Wu, and I have explored Dragon City before, and we are familiar with the Forest of Darkness.”

“Secondly, we have made friends with Link, the City Master of Unfallen City. We can form an alliance with Unfallen City to advance and retreat together. Since the descent of the apocalypse, the world we live in has become extremely dangerous. Only by continuously improving our strength can we continue to stand tall in such a world.”

“Therefore, I think that we shouldn’t miss this opportunity to explore the ruins!”

As they listened to Ou Chen’s sonorous words, many Elders in the hall nodded silently.

The Holy Son had finally grown up and saw things from the bigger picture now!

Some Elders agreed. “The Holy Son insight is indeed good. I think the same way too; this opportunity shouldn’t be missed!”

At the side, Wu Hao and Tian Mingyuan shook their heads slightly as they looked at the energetic Ou Chen.

The Holy Son is most likely thinking about going out to play again. The two of them thought this silently, and black lines appeared on their foreheads.

Ou Mingcheng seemed to be persuaded and nodded slightly. He was also supportive of exploring the Epochal Ruins.

Moreover, Ou Mingcheng had an unexplainable feeling about the ruins in the Forest of Darkness. He felt as if the ruins should belong to the Temple of Light in the first place...

In actual fact, this feeling was not groundless. In Link’s previous life, the ruins did indeed belong to the Temple of Light. However, this opportunity was now s.n.a.t.c.hed away by Link, which was why Ou Mingcheng had this vague feeling in his heart.

Seeing how Ou Chen and the Elders all thought the same way, Ou Mingcheng naturally wouldn’t refuse. “Okay, the Temple of Light will also send a team to the Forest of Darkness this time.”

The Temple of Light’s Elders had no objection, and they bowed their heads, silently carrying out the rituals belonging to the Temple of Light.

“May the Light be eternal; may the G.o.ds protect us!”

...

The next day, early morning.

Unfallen City.

The morning sunlight shone down from the clouds, bright and warm, and everyone in the city had also started a new and busy day.

In the City Master’s Hall, Link distributed the blessed aberrated weapons to Xue Linglong and the others.

As for Qiao Ruowei, she received Jiang Cheng’s scalpel.

After being blessed by Link, this scalpel had reached Epic-grade, not a single bit inferior to the aberrated weapons. It was quite extraordinary.

Everyone replaced their old equipment with the new ones, and all of them could sense that their combat power had once again increased by quite a bit!

Link said to Yang Xuerou, “After I leave, I will leave it to you to deal with the matters in Unfallen City. If you have any urgent matters, contact me with the bracelet.”

Yang Xuerou nodded, affection and the unwillingness to separate flashing faintly in her eyes. Although she had thousands of words to say in her heart, the only sentence that came from her mouth was: “Okay. You must pay attention to your own safety.”

“En.” Link nodded slightly.

Everything had been arranged properly. Link didn’t procrastinate and immediately waved his hand as he shouted in a low voice. “Move out!”

“Yes, Lord!” Xue Linglong and the others responded one after another, their faces full of determination.

For this trip to the Forest of Darkness, Link only brought Xue Linglong, Luo Xingyao, Luo Haoyue, and Zhao Yongkang along.

The rest, including the guardian beast—Blood Shadow—and Star Moon, all stayed behind to guard Unfallen City. After all, Unfallen City was Link’s foundation, and the City of the Undead—which was inside Unfallen City—was of utmost importance.

Moreover, the remaining Stage Four powerhouses—such as Qiao Ruowei and Luo Xinghe—were also responsible for bringing some fighters that were worthy of grooming into the dungeon to increase their level and combat experience.

In the apocalypse, personal strength was certainly important. However, the combat power of the forces under his command also couldn’t be ignored.

As for Xue Linglong, Luo Xingyao, and Zhao Yongkang, they had all reached Stage Four, Level 10. They were only one step away from reaching Stage Five Star-rank.

In this current period, there were also many Stage Five powerhouses in the Forest of Darkness. Thus, Link decided to bring them and let them feel the domains of Stage Five Star-rank powerhouses as much as possible. This was so that they could acc.u.mulate insights and experience, thereby completing their own domain construction as soon as possible.

Link led the three of them out of Unfallen City and traveled into the wilderness.

Originally, Link could just teleport all four of them there. He had the [Ring of Teleportation] in his hand, and the Epochal Ruins’ s.p.a.ce node was also recorded in it.

But the ruins in the Forest of Darkness were currently being watched by many forces. Rashly teleporting inside would only alert these forces, making Link’s group their common target. Not that they could pose a threat to Link, but there wasn’t a need to make his group a common enemy.

Therefore, Link planned to travel to the Forest of Darkness on foot and also find out the details of those forces along the way.

But not long after they left Unfallen City, a group of five people suddenly appeared in their sights.

All five of these people exuded fierce auras. They had quite high strength, and they were Stage Four powerhouses at least.

Prior to the siege war, Stage Four [Doomsday Online] players were still the top powerhouses among humans, and their numbers were extremely low.

With the siege war’s end and the pa.s.sage of time, more and more people had advanced to Stage Four. A small number of Stage Five Star-rank powerhouses had even appeared in large factions.

“Eh? These people’s auras are quite extraordinary; they are all Stage Four powerhouses!”

“I didn’t expect to run into Stage Four powerhouses here. It seems that your team is from the nearby Unfallen City, right?”
