Chapter 1248: 601 Shocking Explosion! Shaking in All Directions, Instant Kill [2 More Chapters] Chapter 1248: 601 Shocking Explosion! Shaking in All Directions, Instant Kill [2 More Chapters] His attire was also very simple, with a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat, indistinguishable from an ordinary fisherman boating along the river.

The old man chuckled, “Young man, may I ask–”
“Ask what?” the young man snapped, his eyes fierce as he was in a hurry to complete his quest, “Get out of the way, old man, or I’ll slaughter you too!”

He had no time to chat with ordinary NPCs at the moment, as these NPCs couldn’t offer players much benefit and were more troublesome than not.

Before the old man had said anything, suddenly, there was a clap of thunder under the clear daytime sky.

At the same time, the sky was darkened by a vast expanse of darkness, and a terrifying presence enveloped this small space.

“Bo-boss…” the teeth of several five-star players started to chatter, their fear evident, “We-we didn’t trigger some quest, did we?”

The young man also turned pale with shock.

What was happening?!

“Hahahaha, Ghost Valley, I never expected you to see a day like this,” a loud laugh came from above, “Why play the frail and sickly old man? In my opinion, just take action, they won’t dare disobey!”

“Boom!”

Another figure landed on the ground.

Vast energy burst forth, and the fierce wind snapped the surrounding shrubs in half.

The newcomer had a pair of black wings, his hair was a dark red, utterly disheveled, and even a bit slovenly in appearance.

But no one dared to underestimate him.

Because the moment he appeared, a red warning box popped up on the system panels of the five-star players.

[Name: Lord of Demon Abyss]
[Race: Demigod]
[Level: ???]
[Combat Style: ???]
[Weakness: ???]
[Skills: ???]
[Danger Level: Fatal]
[System Note: It is said that the Lord of Demon Abyss could devour a child in one bite. Friendly reminder, players are advised not to use underage-looking avatars near the Demon Abyss.]
“Old ghost!” The smile disappeared from the Master of Ghost Valley’s face, his straw raincoat and bamboo hat transforming into a sinister black robe in an instant.

His green eyes were icy cold, “What are you doing here?”

“Where I want to go is none of your business,” grunted the Lord of Demon Abyss, “Also, don’t blame me for not reminding you, the bet you made with me– it’s time to settle it.”

The Master of Ghost Valley erupted in fury, “Pah, I have no disciples, go on with your foolish dreams!”

The Lord of Demon Abyss laughed heartily, “I don’t believe it, you surely have one.”

“…”

There was silence all around.

The five five-star players stood frozen, daring not to move.

Their eyes were wide open, and their hands and feet felt ice-cold.

They had never seen such a show of force before.

If a single one of the Ten Deadly NPCs arrived, ten six-star players would be no match.

The chasm between five-star and six-star was absolute, an insurmountable gulf.

They were just mercenaries paid to do a job; the Yan Family had offered them money to accept this quest.

They usually gave the Ten Deadly Lands a wide berth, so how did they suddenly come across the Master of Ghost Valley and the Lord of Demon Abyss?!

Even more frightening was that they couldn’t log off at will, they could only wait helplessly.

“Buzzing!”

At the same moment, in the monitoring room of the Eternal Academy.

The monitoring screens suddenly started flashing wildly.

[Demigod Level NPC Detected!]
[Demigod Level NPC Detected!]
[Demigod Level NPC Detected!]
The game “Eternal” is set in a magical world where gods exist, but the gods have long since fallen.

Therefore, the highest level in the game is a demigod.

To become a demigod, one must surely be ranked among the Ten Deadly NPCs.

In front of the monitoring screens, a young person’s expression changed instantly, “Two?!”

He typed a few commands on the keyboard and immediately brought up the in-game footage.

“Master of Ghost Valley… Lord of Demon Abyss?!” he exclaimed in shock, “This is bad!”

According to the records, the Master of Ghost Valley and the Lord of Demon Abyss were mortal enemies, waging massive battles every few years.

But they had just fought a few days ago, destroying an entire mountain range in the east, so how could they be fighting again after just a few days?

More importantly, this area was close to many major cities and was considered highly safe.

Not to mention the Ten Deadly NPCs, even other high-level NPCs wouldn’t come here to brawl.

Therefore, this region was chosen as part of the assessment area for the first admission test to the Inner Court.

The simultaneous appearance of the Master of Ghost Valley and the Lord of Demon Abyss, could it be that some upheaval had occurred on the Eternity Continent?
