BXBX NOVEL Chapter 73 - 72: Role 3
“When did four-star tasks become so cheap?’1 Su Nan was surprised.
He had only obtained a four-star Mainline Task today, but he didn’t expect to see another one in the forum.
He immediately clicked on the screenshot and started to examine it carefully.
Many parts of the screenshot were censored, making it impossible to see the specific task content. He could only see the task’s name, its level, and the rewards.
The task was called “Heavenly Dome’s Danger.”
Aside from the basic rewards of demon’s bloodline and demon power, the last reward was a set of ancient scriptures!
The task countdown was still 25 days.
“The reward is actually ancient scriptures! I just don’t know what level the ancient scriptures are at?” Su Nan was attracted to the reward.
Having practiced the Life Wheel Scripture, he was extremely sensitive to ancient scriptures, knowing how heaven-defying they were.
If possible, he naturally didn’t want such things to be obtained by others.
Unfortunately, the screenshot was heavily censored, and he could only get limited information from it.
After taking a few more glances, Su Nan was about to click back when a reply under the post caught his attention.
“Could the heavenly dome in the Main Task be referring to the Heavenly Dome Divine Prohibition?”
This was a reply from a player with the forum nickname “Archaeologist.”
Many players commented under this reply, expressing their doubts and even more people inquired about what the Heavenly Dome Divine Prohibition was.
Su Nan clicked on those comments and scrolled down. Soon enough, he found a follow-up reply from the “Archaeologist.”
“I learned about the Heavenly Dome Divine Prohibition from an ancient book in the game. It is said that in ancient times, to prevent demons from infiltrating the Human’s territory, a peerless powerful person laid the Heavenly Dome Divine Prohibition across the Twelve States.”
“It’s a powerful formation. Within the range of the Heavenly Dome Divine Prohibition, all demons would be suppressed, their strength greatly reduced, and the suppression would be more severe the closer they were to the center of the formation.”
“After the ancient times, the strength of the Human Race declined, but they were not completely extinct by demons. The Heavenly Dome Divine Prohibition played a huge role, and now the Imperial City of the Great Yu Dynasty is one of the centers of the Heavenly Dome Divine Prohibition.”
Great Yu Dynasty?
Upon seeing this name, Su Nan couldn’t help but feel a little moved.
Wang Nan, in Kun Tian Prison, had mentioned that there were three sects, six religions, and one dynasty in Dongchen State.
The one dynasty was very likely the Great Yu Dynasty.
“So, that’s why the closer you get to the Great Yu Imperial City, the fewer demons there are, and the weaker they are.”
“The poster is worthy of the name Archaeologist. He even knows this kind of secret. It seems that the poster is also not simple in the game!”
“If the Heavenly Dome Divine Prohibition really has something to do with the ‘Heavenly Dome’ in the Task name, what does the ‘Heavenly Dome’s Danger’ mean? Could it be that the Heavenly Dome Divine Prohibition is in danger?”
“Archaeologist’s” information sparked a lot of discussion among players.
For them, this kind of thing was undoubtedly a secret, which was difficult to access under normal circumstances.
Su Nan was also very interested.
He continued to scroll down the post, but unfortunately, he couldn’t find any other useful information.
Helplessly, he had to exit the post and return to the forum’s main page, trying to find other interesting posts.
As he continued scrolling down, one post after another passed by in front of his eyes. After more than ten minutes, he couldn’t find anything interesting and eventually logged out of the forum.
Midnight.
Su Nan logged into the game once more.
Today was his twelfth day in the game and the seventh day of the public beta test. There were only eight days left before the Survival Task was completed.
It just so happened that this time was the same as the remaining time for the “Demon Crisis” Mainline Task.
That meant when the Survival Task was over, so would his Mainline Task.
By now, although most players were still targeted by demons every day, the situation had improved drastically compared to when they first entered the game.
Many players had even joined guild influences and, with the help of these influences, escaped their predicament.
This could be seen from the ranking list.
“Now on the ranking list, there are already over a hundred players who have reached Great Perfection in one type of Demon Sutra, and more than thirty have fused with a second type of Demon Sutra, among which are some existences similar to the Luck Children.”
“There are over three hundred players who have reached Perfection in one type of Demon Sutra, over a thousand players who have reached Great Accomplishment in Demon Sutra, and more than four thousand players who have achieved minor achievement in Demon Sutra.”
“This number is already quite impressive, but compared to those players who haven’t even fused with any bloodlines, this number is nothing, not even one-tenth.”
“If the remaining players cannot upgrade their demon sutra to Perfection within the next eight days, they will only be permanently deprived of their game qualifications.”
Su Nan sighed, the cruelty of the game was beyond imagination, and it was too difficult to rise in this game without any special opportunities.
On the other hand, none of those who could rise were simple individuals.
Of course, these matters didn’t concern him much, what he cared about now was the task.
“Yesterday I couldn’t kill the wolf demon, but today it’s definitely not a problem.”
Without checking today’s daily tasks first, he immediately operated the Life Wheel Scripture, switched his role to Wang Nan, and quickly came to the prison cell where the wolf demon was imprisoned.
If we say that yesterday, when he battled the wolf demon, it had the strength comparable to the spirit-level demon at the edge of Warm Moon Pond. Today, the wolf demon only had the strength of a mortal-level demon.
Facing such a demon, Su Nan felt no pressure at all.
The wolf demon guard seemed to know that they couldn’t escape death today, showing despair and resentment in its eyes.
Just one minute later.
The wolf demon was killed by Su Nan with a single fireball!
[Congratulations on completing the daily task “Kill a Guard” and gaining 15 points of demon power.]
[Current available demonic power: 37 points]
The prompt for the completion of the task appeared, and Su Nan’s mouth curled up with a smile.
It took more than ten days, but the task was finally completed.
At almost the same time, his Life Wheel Scripture started to work uncontrollably.
“It’s really possible!” Su Nan was not surprised but delighted.
The huge Life Wheel spun quickly within his body. The next moment, he seemed to have established an intangible connection with the corpse of the wolf demon in the dark.
Vaguely, he felt that something indescribable was being quickly stripped away from the wolf demon’s corpse and then swallowed by his Life Wheel.
“This is Life Stealing!”
He felt both familiar and strange about this feeling, which was exactly the same as when he stole Li Xuheng’s destiny.
The Life Wheel shone brightly and rotated even faster.
When the Life Wheel stopped rotating, the originally dim and illusory third wheel was no longer illusory.
Without hesitating, he immediately operated the Life Wheel Scripture to switch to the wolf demon’s life wheel.
The next moment, the Personal Information Panel in front of Su Nan changed.
[Name: Lang Thirteen]
[Race: Skywolf Clan]
[Realm: None]
[Demon Sutra: None]
[Bloodline: None]
[Racial Talent: Berserk]
[Demon Power: 0 points]
“So this wolf demon is called Lang Thirteen.”
“I can actually become a demon clan!”
“Racial Talent? Is this the ability to transform into a beast-like form like the wolf demon had?”
