MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter

"Amon, Shine!"

The stranger's voice was piercing to the extreme. The sword had just landed on his back, leaving a wound too large, directly severely injuring him, making teleportation once already the limit.

At this moment, his state made it impossible to continue teleportation, and being seriously injured also affected his movement and agility. He could only withstand it head-on. This move itself was fast and too sudden.

Countless blue light points gathered into a light shield, blocking above his head, while flashing endless light, as if to blind people's eyes.

However, Li Yao himself had a divine eye with pupil skill enhancement, naturally unafraid of sudden strong light. Even if this light had special effects.

Boom!

The great sword fell, and the light shield collapsed with a roar, reprogramming into countless light points, and the great sword fell again on the stranger's shoulder, directly severing the arm holding the lantern.

"No!"

The stranger was horrified and ignored the mechanical avatar, instead pounced toward the other arm's lantern.

"Indeed, everything is focused on this lantern." Li Yao's eyes flashed with obscure ghostly light, but it was just a fleeting moment, hard to notice even with special attention, entirely different from his previous divine eye light explosion.

The stranger suddenly paused, becoming dazed, already controlled by Li Yao's spiritual power.

Actually, Li Yao's original plan was to directly control the opponent, kicking the door to attract the opponent, and when they looked at each other, he activated the divine eye. However, the opponent's lantern's soul power seemed to form a barrier, preventing Li Yao from controlling the opponent.

But at that time, he just guessed wrong and didn't dare to be certain, so he decisively activated the mechanical avatar, severely injuring the opponent and then severing the arm holding the lantern.

Then tried to control the opponent again, finally succeeded in one go.

"Open the prison cell door."

The stranger mumbled, one arm drawing strange symbols, the cell door opened with a bang.

"How do you awaken the sleeping people?" Li Yao asked again.

The stranger dully took out a black crystal-like object: "Place the holy crystal in the brow of the sleeping person and crush it. After absorption, they can awaken."

Li Yao took the black crystal, and when the divine eye activated, he saw the general material of this thing.

Black Water Curse Crystal

Quality: Ordinary

Can be used for embedding, accompanied by spiritual attack during attacks.

Can replenish origin power, replenishing origin power below race-level leaders.

Can enhance grade, is where a trace can increase the grade, accumulated to one hundred percent can increase a minor grade. Ordinary quality crystal up to advanced leader level.

Note: Called holy crystal by creatures from the Dream Curse Plane.

Li Yao raised his eyebrows, unexpectedly encountered an item that could replenish origin and enhance grade.

Every sub-dimension has different things, and Li Yao had never heard of this Dream Curse Plane.

It means this dimension is only known by a few, and it will soon collapse, whether naturally dissipating or being hunted by strong beings for world will shards and law fragments, is not good for here.

Li Yao not knowing is unsurprising, and this dimension is really about to collapse. This stranger surely was similar to humanoid beings from the main dimension before, but now has mutated, most body functions no longer operate, like internal organs, mostly become unpredictable.

Body shape distorted in mutation, when the dimension completely collapses, they will either disappear or be twisted into ferocious void creatures.

Li Yao placed Ya Ji down and crushed the crystal, light points fused into the brow, leaving a faint black vertical mark.

Ya Ji quickly awoke, scanned with curiosity, softly asking: "Seems we had an accident."

"Blessing in disguise, not entirely bad," Li Yao explained what happened.

Ya Ji regained clarity swiftly: "Indeed, a blessing in disguise. Last time with the mentor and other disciples, after two busy days, each only got three or four pieces of black crystal. Merely replenishing us to elite origin, wanting to upgrade to silver hero needs at least a hundred crystal pieces. This one crystal just upgraded my origin to silver hero level, seems the conversion rate with crystal fragments is 100 to 1."

Li Yao handed the small cloth bag to Ya Ji, who saw there were over ten crystals inside.

"So many, a prison guard has so many crystals," Ya Ji exclaimed.

"From what I know, they treat these crystals as food, over ten isn't much. If my calculations are correct, you need a hundred ordinary crystals to upgrade the origin to leader level, the further up the harder. Enhancing origin, enhancing grade, also need to merge with your path of strength, don't know how much it needs. Seems we need to find higher quality holy crystals, this prison guard isn't camp level but strong and tenacious, and the gravity here is strange, we need to explore well here before planning anything else."

Ya Ji gave the bag back to Li Yao, who didn't take it: "I've reached camp level, ordinary crystals don't affect me and the path of strength isn't useful. My fortune should be world will shards."

"Alright then, I won't be polite." Ya Ji didn't hesitate, taking the bag.

"The gravity here is immense, likely around three times the main dimension's, you need to adapt well, but this forced mutation isn't entirely bad, it's a benefit," Li Yao said.

"Attributes increased by a quarter, skills enhanced too, but seems rejected by the main dimension, should only change here," Ya Ji said: "Certainly easier than my last visit."

"Not necessarily, might become a combat form, treat it as a transformation skill," Li Yao said, looking at the stranger, asked: "What place is this, located where in the Dream Curse Plane."

The prison guard dullly answered: "This is Bell City, hailed as the most ancient fall site of the Amon Ancestor God, and the easternmost Sacred God Mountain Range of the Dream Curse Plane, east is the chaotic seas ravaged by void storms, west is Middle Earth."

"Who are you?" Li Yao continued to ask.

"We are pilgrim devotees who have slumbered for tens of thousands of years, dimension collapse, mountains and rivers shatter, Holy City emerged, we were awakened by Amon's will for a dozen years, now we all joined the Sacred Teaching."

"What's your purpose?"

"The purpose of our Sacred Teaching is to awaken the ancient kings in slumber and collect power to stabilize the broken world according to Amon's guidance."

"Why imprison these people and make them mutate?"

"These people lack holy blood, must use consciousness to grant them holy blood and Amon's power lineage, then sacrifice them to be absorbed by Amon, strengthening his power."

"Farewell." The mechanical avatar executed the controlled prison guard with a sword...
