The moment Shi Feng chose to reforge in the great hall, the five fragments of the Sword of Solomon materialized one after another, hovering before him.
Thunder Slayer, Calamity Edge, Nether Gleam, Night Sever, Steel Breaker.
The five longswords resonated with one another continuously, radiating dazzling brilliance.
After just a few seconds, the five swords merged into one, forming a black-patterned longsword that resembled a greatsword. Its entire body glowed blood-red, with faint arcs of pitch-black lightning flickering across its surface, causing the surrounding space to constantly collapse and regenerate.
The instant this longsword took shape, even Fang Shihan standing in the hall was struck speechless with awe.
"A Legendary weapon?"
As for Legendary weapons, Zero Wing currently possessed five in total. Besides Shi Feng's Light of Two Realms, Bai Qingxue, Water Color Rose, and Yan Tianxing each had one. Most recently, Ziyan Liuyun's staff had finally been upgraded to Legendary grade as well—something the outside world could barely imagine.
Every Legendary weapon possessed the power to fight above one's tier. A Tier 5 Class holder wielding one could instantly become comparable to a Tier 6 Divine Being—nothing that fragmented Legendary items could hope to match.
Once the Sword of Solomon had fully formed, Shi Feng eagerly picked it up and examined it.
Sword of Solomon. One-handed sword. Legendary item. Equipment requirement: 50,000 points in Strength, Class rank of Tier 4 or above.
Attack Power (460% of Strength attribute) Attack Speed (3% of Agility + Spirit attribute) All Attributes (scales with player level) Ignores monster level +80, ignores 100% of defense when attacking, 15% chance to trigger triple attack speed on hit, 60% chance to deal 3× damage on hit, 20% chance to deal 10× damage on hit, deals 200% damage to targets below Tier 6, attacks carry a soul-weakening effect.
Wielding this sword: Strength attribute increased by 300%, Agility increased by 180%, Intelligence increased by 150%, Endurance increased by 80%, Attack Speed increased by 170%, all sword technique effects enhanced by up to two tiers (maximum Tier 6 peak), all attacks enhanced by up to two tiers (maximum Tier 6 peak), magic power effects increased by 200%, all Spirit consumption reduced by 30%.
Passive Skill—Eternal Soul: Greatly enhances the wielder's soul tier. World perception raised by one level.
Skill 1—Destruction Thunder (Tier 6): Centered on the user, unleashes thunder strikes against all targets within a 10,000-yard radius for ten seconds. The longer the duration, the greater the power (maximum Tier 6 peak). Cooldown: one minute.
Skill 2—Sword World (Tier 6): Using the power of the world, forms ninety-nine intangible swords with power two tiers above the wielder's rank. Duration: thirty seconds. Cooldown: one hour.
Skill 3—Terminal Sword (Tier 6): Activates the Sword of Solomon using the power of the soul. The stronger the soul, the greater the power. Can obliterate the soul of all things (maximum Tier 6 peak). Cooldown: ten minutes.
A creation of the Ancient Thunder God, containing the essence of an Ancient God. Capable of destroying all things.
"Truly worthy of being one of the ten Legendary weapons. Its attributes aren't inferior to the Light of Two Realms in the slightest." After reading through the Sword of Solomon's stats, Shi Feng couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.
The Light of Two Realms primarily enhanced the player's life tier, while the Sword of Solomon enhanced the player's soul. There was no inherent superiority between the two, but wielding both together would absolutely produce far greater synergy than simply stacking other Legendary weapons.
Although he was not yet a Tier 6 God-level powerhouse, in terms of both life tier and soul, he probably wasn't far off.
If he were to encounter that Tier 5 commander from the outer world, Ross Fried, again right now—even without using the Golden Soul—he would have the upper hand.
"By the way, Guild Leader, there's one more important matter." Fang Shihan produced an invitation card crafted entirely from Seven-Star Crystals and handed it to Shi Feng. "This is an invitation from the five great super guilds, sent to every first-tier or above major guild in the Divine Realm. They're gathering tomorrow in the neutral territory of Black Wing City to discuss how to deal with the outer world's forces and that mysterious young man."
"Seven-Star Crystals? That's quite the display." Shi Feng looked at the invitation in his hand, mildly surprised.
Seven-Star Crystals were something every major superpower scrambled to get their hands on. Zero Wing had scoured everywhere for them and had only managed to amass 160,000 units so far—they didn't dare spend them carelessly.
Yet the five great super guilds had used Seven-Star Crystals to make invitations, and these were no ordinary invitations. A highly specialized teleportation magic circle was embedded within, capable of teleporting the bearer directly to Black Wing City.
Each invitation card had cost at least five units of Seven-Star Crystals, and across the entire Divine Realm, there were well over a thousand first-tier or above guilds. That meant at least five thousand units of Seven-Star Crystals had been spent.
"Seven-Star Crystal invitations are the highest grade. Below those are Magic Crystal invitations and Magic Water Crystal invitations," Fang Shihan explained with a smile. "Depending on the grade of the invitation, the number of people you can bring differs. Magic Water Crystal invitations allow one guest, Magic Crystal invitations allow two, and Seven-Star Crystal invitations allow four."
"That's still quite impressive. Crafting these special teleportation items alone is expensive enough." Shi Feng couldn't imagine being willing to spend that much on a single meeting.
Of course, this also showed that the mysterious young man had truly rattled the five great super guilds—otherwise they wouldn't have called upon every first-tier and above guild to attend.
An assembly of this scale was something he had never witnessed even after playing the Divine Realm for ten years in his previous life.
"Should we go?" Fang Shihan couldn't help but ask.
Currently, Zero Wing was unquestionably the Divine Realm's number-one guild in terms of combat power. With their current strength, defending the Twin Towers Kingdom and holding Zero Wing's guild city would be a walk in the park. Attending this kind of meeting was of little consequence to Zero Wing—and that was before accounting for the fact that two major super guilds, Illusion Mythology and Blazing Sun Temple, were on unfriendly terms with them.
"We're going! Of course we're going!" Shi Feng said with a smile. "Have Huo Wu, Ziyan, and Yan Tianxing get ready. The four of you are coming with me."
He could afford to disregard the outer world's NPC armies, but against the Scholar, caution was essential.
According to current intelligence, the Scholar was deeply entangled with the outer world's NPC forces. When the time came to face him, they might also have to contend with the NPC armies at the same time. The strength of the Divine Realm's various powers mattered greatly. Because of the ongoing war between worlds, the kingdoms and empires had fully opened their treasuries, and all manner of advancement resources had significantly accelerated players' growth rates—let alone the experts of the various major guilds.
As time progressed, within a month or two, Tier 5 Class holders would become increasingly common, and the true depth of each superpower would reveal itself. When that happened, the aid of these superpowers would be invaluable.
Most importantly, Zero Wing could use this opportunity to rise in prominence and establish its future standing in the Divine Realm. After all, on the western continent, Zero Wing's influence was extremely limited, and without the ravages of war, the western continent's guilds had far surpassed the eastern continent in clearing dungeons and exploring ruins.
"Then I'll go inform them right away."
Fang Shihan nodded. Truthfully, she was quite interested in this grand assembly as well, because afterward, experts from the various guilds would engage in exchanges and sparring.
These exchanges might seem trivial on the surface, but since each expert had a different understanding of combat techniques and magic power, a moment of inspiration might even lead to directly creating a Tier 5 Mana Body.
She had already hit a bottleneck. Her Mana Body's completion rate had reached 120% with nowhere left to go. Rather than grinding away blindly in training, exchanging and sparring with more experts would be far more beneficial.
The next morning, Shi Feng led Fang Shihan and the other three, teleporting directly to Black Wing City. Bai Qingxue and Water Color Rose, the two vice guild leaders, remained behind to guard the guild and the Twin Towers Kingdom, just in case.
Black Wing City, Teleportation Hall.
One streak of brilliant light after another descended, and Shi Feng's group of five appeared within the central magic circle of the teleportation hall.
Compared to the past, Black Wing City was now a sea of people. Beyond the invited experts from every major guild, vast numbers of experts from various powers and independent players had flooded in.
Although ordinary powers in the Divine Realm could not attend such an assembly—let alone independent players—virtually every expert in the realm was interested in the exchange and advancement opportunities.
Now that the five great super guilds had jointly invited every major power in the Divine Realm, Black Wing City had gathered the vast majority of the Divine Realm's top-tier and above experts—a phenomenon no single city had ever witnessed.
Even if they couldn't attend the meeting itself, simply getting to see the heroes of the world gathered together was absolutely worth bragging about. If they could catch the various powers' experts sparring and exchanging techniques, that would be a massive bonus.
So while the five great super guilds distributed their invitations far and wide, the news had spread across the entire Divine Realm. Countless powers and players were desperate to enter Black Wing City.
If not for the strict entry requirements—an access pass was mandatory—the entire city would have been bursting at the seams with Divine Realm players. Even so, the number of players converging on Black Wing City exceeded thirty million…
On the streets of Black Wing City, any player picked at random would be a Tier 3 expert. Among them, there were no shortage of powerful Tier 4 Class holders. Even experts at the Insight Realm had to keep a low profile here, because one wrong move could mean encountering a top-tier expert at the Flow Realm—or even the Void Realm.
When Shi Feng arrived before the Black Wing Auction House, the entire building had already been surrounded by over a thousand Tier 4 experts from the five great super guilds.
These Tier 4 experts all had levels of at least 170, and the worst among them wore full sets of Epic-grade equipment at level 180. Many sported four or five pieces of level 180 Epic-grade weapons and armor. The five leading figures, in particular, were all above level 180, clad entirely in level 180 Epic-grade equipment at minimum, with two or three Legendary fragment items each, and Legendary fragment-grade weapons in hand. The true depth of the five great super guilds was on full display.
Standing before the Black Wing Auction House, their terrifying aura alone was enough to keep ordinary Tier 4 experts from approaching.
"So powerful—is this the strength of the five great super guilds?"
"Holy crap! Our guild hasn't even managed to get a few pieces of level 180 Epic-grade gear, and these Tier 4 experts from the five great super guilds are all decked out in them?"
"I feel like any one of those five leaders could wipe the floor with our entire guild!"
"Not just wipe the floor with third-rate guilds like yours—even second-rate guilds couldn't handle them. Do you know who they are? Those five are the top-tier prodigies cultivated by the five great super guilds this generation. I heard every single one of them has mastered the Domain, and their Mana Body completion rates are all above 110%. They're genuine monsters."
"Too bad our guild isn't first-rate, or we could have attended this meeting too…"
…
The crowd buzzed with discussion about the five great super guilds' members, marveling at their deep reserves while envying every player who had been invited to the meeting.
After all, exchanging techniques with experts of this caliber, even once, would be worth more than several months of solitary grinding and training in the outside world.
