Chapter 477: New Task: Road to Legendary

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ji Ye broke into the settlement core while he was still thinking.

Although after the nuclear explosion, this area still had a lot of radiation, with his Heal talent, it wouldn’t pose any threat.

The yaksha settlement core was green and looked similar to one as well. It was armored and looked like some kind of yaksha deity.

“Hoooo!”

Because the settlement was an Extraordinary Rank-9 one, the core was much more powerful than that of an ordinary one.

It stared at Ji Ye ferociously as he approached.

But Ji Ye ignored it. A settlement core below the Transcendent level had no attack ability.

The yakshas all wanted to run away, and no one tried very hard to stop him.

Boom, boom, boom, boom…

A purple light flashed as he put away the saber and the sword.

Ji Ye struck out with his left hand, and six streaks of dragon-shaped energy charged out, smashing into the face of the settlement core.

Clang, clang, clang…

64 streaks of golden sword energy came out of his right hand and hit the lower half of the settlement core.

He had reached Greater Mastery in the Primordial Unity Golden Light Sword Art and could make very fast strikes. The sound almost reminded one of the drums.

The settlement core dimmed as he watched.

Seeing Ji Ye attacking the settlement core, the yaksha villains in the distance grew irritated.

They growled, flew past Li Guang at the cost of injuring themselves, and came at Ji Ye.

Because if Ji Ye destroyed the settlement core, according to the information they received in their minds, they would disappear from the Land of Inheritance forever.

The flying yakshas moved very fast. In a matter of seconds, dozens of them reached Ji Ye and attacked him with their silver wings.

“Roar!”

However, a dragon roared, and the yakshas were all knocked away.

Ji Ye had switched to his Black Flood Dragon form and electrocuted the flying yakshas with his Power of Thunder.

After that, the dragon smacked the dim settlement core with its claw.

Crack!

The core lost its last bit of power of providence and shattered.

[“You’ve destroyed the yaksha settlement. Honor gained: 10,398. Rare Honor gained: 2,301”]

After Ji Ye destroyed the yaksha settlement core, the rampaging yakshas all looked frightened and began to scream.

Pa! Pa! Pa!

But it couldn’t change what had happened. They exploded in unison, turning into the yellow power of providence of the human race.

It all gathered together and flew in the direction of Dragon City.

Hum!

From afar, they could see the yellow Twin Dragons of Providence rise to the sky.

[“The core of your settlement has been upgraded. Current level: Transcendent Rank-2.”]

Meanwhile, all members of Dragon City received that message in their heads.

Dragon City had already accumulated enough resources. They didn’t start the advancement test earlier because they didn’t have Extraordinary Rank-9 beings.

As the first human settlement to make the advancement, the test was very difficult, but they also received extra power of providence.

With resources that had been accumulated, Dragon City wasn’t very far from rising to Transcendent Rank-2.

They had eliminated thousands of reinforcement yakshas while destroying the settlement. The power of providence they received would be more than enough to make them rise to Transcendent Rank-2.

“It seems that this plan of using ‘reinforcement’ has its shortcomings.

“If it doesn’t work, it will cost the civilization an extra amount of power of providence!”

From the advancement, Ji Ye saw the problem the yakshas’ plan had.

It was harmful to the entire civilization as a whole, but it might benefit an individual settlement.

Should one use it? The answer was similar to the one about the Inheritance talent…

[“Your settlement has activated the task Road to Legendary!”]

[“Your stronghold has managed to pass through a lot of difficulties and stand at the top of a large number of competitors, but this is not the end. Let the fame of Dragon City spread throughout the continent. Deter a hundred races and achieve ‘Legendary’.”]

At the same time, the people of Dragon City read that message in their minds.

Just like when the core rose from Extraordinary Rank-1 to Rank-2, the new advancement also activated the next task.

“The Road to Legendary?” Ji Ye murmured.

“The Ten-Species Competition only had one survivor, and we needed to kill all the alien races. A Hundred Vying Barges needed us to be the only winner.”

By the look of the description, there could be one winner. A settlement could become Legendary if it could deter a hundred races instead of annihilating them.

From this point of view, the ultimate purpose of the Land of Inheritance was to let the races “compete” with one other instead of making them kill one another.

In fact, if the purpose were to let different races kill one another, there wouldn’t be resurrection settings.

Maybe because the yaksha settlement was a Quasi-Transcendent one, after destroying it, Dragon City received a Special-level scroll as a reward.

[Night Patrol of A Hundred Ghosts]

[Level: Special]

[Rarity: Perfect (Rare)]

[Description: The power of providence of the human race transformed the cultivation method of the yakshas. After comprehending it, one could obtain the ability of a random ghost.

[Note: Each comprehension would cost the settlement some power of providence. There is a certain chance of obtaining an Extraordinary-level ability and a very small chance of obtaining a Transcendent-level ability.]

“This scroll…”

Ji Ye pondered for a moment.

He knew the legend of the night patrol of a hundred ghosts.

Although it came from Jaipan, most of the ghost stories were originally from Chidragon or Sandia.

Maybe that was why this reward existed. After all, Dragon City was a Chidragon settlement, and the yakshas were legendary creatures of Sandia.

For instance, there were Tamamo-no-Mae the nine-tailed fox, the Torch Dragon, Hanba the god of drought, and Ubume the spirit of a dead pregnant woman.

Among the ghosts, many had Extraordinary or even Transcendent powers.

For instance, there was the Water Tiger that could understand the language of fish, birds, and humans and could become invisible at will. There was also the kappa who had a water basin on top of its head and would live as long as there was water in it. That was obviously a Transcendent-level power.

This object that could produce Extraordinary beings in large quantities was as valuable as the Radiation Spring or the Holy Fire Altar, if not better.

“Master Ji, the gray fog on the east is moving! It has accelerated and is heading for us!”

Ji Ye was still thinking when a long-distance message was relayed to him through the communication channel, waking him up from the reveries.

He spun around, and his eyes were frighteningly bright.

“Finally, they’ve lost their patient. Unfortunately, they’ve lost their best chance!”
