There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

Yan Niang slightly arrogantly placed one hand on her hip and closed her fan, waving to the other players to perform.

With attacks dealing three-digit damage, she indeed had reason to be proud compared to other players.

Many players looked at Yan Niang with a hint of dread in their eyes.

Following that, other players also took to the stage one after another to try their own methods.

"-1!"

"-7!"

"-23!"

"-78!"

Basically, no player's damage number exceeded three digits; the defense of this boss named Xuanwu Turtle was just too high. If you didn't use a skill, you couldn't even break through its defense!

"-482!"

At that moment, an extremely eye-catching number popped up!

A whopping 482 damage, which was the highest damage inflicted by any player so far.

"Excuse my poor performance."

An elderly man carrying a birdcage grinned with a knowing smile, nodding to the crowd in greeting.

All the players' eyes were now focused on the red sparrow beside the elderly man, filled with dread and wariness. Just moments before, it was this same sparrow, which had flown out of the cage and pecked lightly at the turtle shell of the boss, causing a terrifying 482 damage.

An action that seemed devoid of any attacking power had caused the highest damage!

If encountered outside!

Nobody would dare to say with confidence that their head could withstand such a hit.

If this sparrow were used for an assassination, whoever it targeted would die; most likely, they would lose their life in their sleep.

Just as everyone's gaze was fixated on the old man,

a low shout suddenly rang out in everyone's ears.

"Stop!"

It instantly drew everyone's attention yet again.

There stood Sword Without End amidst the crowd, now clad in a green robe, coldly taking a step into the air with one hand behind his back.

As Sword Without End took that step, a Green Peak shortsword, roughly the size of a palm, appropriately materialized under his foot, staying firmly in place like a step.

When Sword Without End lifted his foot again, another new palm-sized Green Peak shortsword appeared beneath it.

It was as if he were climbing a Sky Ladder.

Under the watching eyes of everyone, Sword Without End ascended step by step into the high sky, looking down at all the players, including that giant turtle.

Immediately after—

Dense clouds suddenly filled the entire sky above the World Boss Space!

Numerous lightning bolts pulsed through the clouds, barely visible!

"Sword, rise!"

Sword Without End stood high in the sky, his right hand forming a sword technique, his expression cold as he glared at the Xuanwu Turtle below and gave a sharp command.

The next second.

A gigantic 'SLAY' character appeared above Sword Without End's head!

The area was even half as big as the Xuanwu Turtle!

Blood-red, with a sharp and aggressive font!

Suspended below the dark clouds, right above Sword Without End's head!

It was so menacing that merely looking up at it filled one's heart with boundless fear, and their knees involuntarily grew weak; such was the might of an immortal's maneuver!

Before the crowd could exclaim,

a flicker of coldness passed through Sword Without End's eyes, and he pointed his sword technique directly at the Xuanwu Turtle below, "Go!"

Suddenly,

the Three-Foot Qingfeng that had been circling Sword Without End, as if commanded, soared up like a Blue Dragon, piercing the clouds and splitting them open!

It passed right through the center of the huge, crimson 'SLAY' character!

In the moment that Three-Foot Qingfeng passed through,

the gigantic, crimson 'SLAY' character also began to melt rapidly, merging with the Three-Foot Qingfeng.

And the Three-Foot Qingfeng, now trailing a crimson tail flame and emitting a clear dragon's roar, then precisely targeted the Xuanwu Turtle's shell and struck fiercely!

"Clang!"

Read new chapters at empire

"-9829!"

A massive and terrifying damage number slowly emerged above the Xuanwu Turtle's head.

The clouds dispersed.

Sword Without End slowly descended to the ground, waving the hem of his sleeve and, with a smile, stood before the Xuanwu Turtle, bowing low in a very gentlemanly manner to all the players.

"I hope I have not made myself a laughingstock."

"I am Sword Without End, known as the foremost Sword Immortal of the age."

And the Three-Foot Qingfeng that had been circling Sword Without End, as if understanding human behavior, mimicked Sword Without End's movements and bowed charmingly and cutely to the crowd as well.

The synchronicity of man and sword's movements was quite remarkable.

"..."

Utter silence.

No one spoke, and everyone opened their mouths in disbelief, looking up at the terrifying damage number above the BOSS's head!

Nearly 10k damage?!

Was this some kind of joke!

Before Sword Without End stepped forward, dozens of players had tried, and the highest damage they could inflict was just over 400!

The difference between over 400 and nearly 10k—wasn't that a bit too much?

And by this time, the live comments had already started going crazy.

"I declare that from now on Sword Without End is the number one Sword Immortal of our time, I acknowledge it, and I am willing to step down to be the second Sword Immortal."

"So cool... The last time Sword Without End appeared on a global live stream, I just thought this guy was being showy, although he's still showy this time, I don't know why but he seems much more appealing now..."

"Before, I thought this guy was just showing off, but I later realized that he's actually awesome!!!"

"No way, all that flashy stuff actually deals damage? I always thought Sword Without End's purchases were just for show, with visuals but no damage."

"We all started from the same starting line, so why have they become Sword Immortals while we're still knocking on Minotaur heads?"

"Do you guys think it's possible that Sword Without End was actually the last Sword Immortal from the period when spiritual energy was declining, and just happened to encounter the globalization of the game, using props as a cover, but they were actually all his own Sword Immortal techniques?"

"You upstairs should write a book, I've even thought of the name for you, it should be called 'The Last Lone Sword Immortal on Blue Star'."

"The person upstairs is obviously not a professional, nowadays the longer the book title the better, it should be called 'When the Last Sword Immortal on Earth Encounters Global Game Transformation'."

"Upstairs is even more amateurish, it should be called 'Lone Sword Immortal', only then will it have both the aura and the gimmick."

The barrage continued to flood the screen.

Meanwhile, Li Yide inadvertently wiggled the Fox Tail behind him and stared silently at the image of Sword Without End with one hand behind his back, secretly swearing in his heart.

When he made a name for himself later on.

He would definitely break the arms of all those who liked to carry their hands behind their backs, then put them in a cast and tie it to their back.

He didn't know why, but he was really annoyed with those who carried their hands behind their backs.

It's itching like hemorrhoids; can't you go to the proctology hospital to see a doctor?

Then he turned to look at Chen Yi in the screen and shook his head with a slight hint of regret. As someone from Yancheng, he naturally knew that Chen Yi possessed a sniper rifle capable of percentage damage.

It was just a pity that he was destined to be overshadowed by Sword Without End this time.

The damage was certainly higher than Sword Without End's.

But it was useless.

Firing a sniper rifle shot, even with high damage, was just too plain and simple.

It couldn't compare to the coolness of Sword Without End with all effects on with that one slash.

...

Sword Without End stood with one hand behind his back, smiling at the players in front of him whose eyes were bulging with disbelief, nodding his head in satisfaction with the effect. It was very satisfying.

Quite nice.

Then he looked towards Chen Yi standing among the crowd and made a gesturing sign.

"Yi, please."

And the eyes of the other players followed Sword Without End's gesture, looking at Chen Yi standing in the crowd, filled with faint anticipation.

A person highly regarded by Sword Without End should be a strong player, right?

They weren't unfamiliar with the name Chen Yi.

He had appeared several times in global announcements, showed up a few times during the limited event on June 1st Children's Day, also quite showy, thinking to themselves, he must belong to the same category as Sword Without End.

Chen Yi stood still and saw the gazes cast by the crowd, calmly leaning on his cane and walking towards the Xuanwu Turtle through the path made by the players.

And the Christmas Cane, being used as a walking stick, slowly transformed into a sniper rifle.

In just a few steps.

Chen Yi stood before the Xuanwu Turtle, holding the sniper rifle with one hand, his expression calm and natural as he aimed the muzzle at the Xuanwu Turtle!

The next second—

The entire World Boss Space suddenly turned visibly crimson!

All players were stunned for a moment, then instinctively looked up, only to find that a red blood moon had appeared above the space at some unknown time.

Without the slightest feeling of eeriness, the blood moon instead filled the atmosphere with mystery.

Just like the Ruby Bayonet in CSGO, it involuntarily filled one with longing and an unattainable desire.

Below the blood moon.

A female angel with an indistinct face, wearing only a few pieces of cloth to cover her form, raised her head and chest under the moonlight and slowly spread her arms. A gentle and magnetic voice arose beside the ears of all the players present and watching.

"God said, all beings are equal."

The next second—

The Septagon Badge activated, the trigger was pulled!

Suddenly, 100 sniper rifles' phantoms appeared above Chen Yi's head, their muzzles aiming directly at the Xuanwu Turtle, and a hundred crimson bullets fired simultaneously!

"Bang!"

A somewhat dull gunshot echoed in the boss space!

At the same time, an extremely exaggerated damage figure popped up above the boss's head.

'-3,030,000!!!'

'-3.03 million!!!'

3.03 million???

Sword Without End, who was about to offer mutual praise, suddenly froze, his jaw dropped to the floor, his eyes bulging in disbelief looking at the horrendous and exaggerated huge damage number above the boss's head!

What's going on?

Were his eyes playing tricks on him?

3.03 million damage?

Isn't the total health bar of this boss only 1 million?

However, before he had time to rub his eyes and look again at that number to confirm whether he was seeing things, he suddenly heard a notification sound near his ear.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

'Ding, the ultimate World Boss has been killed, the top three damage-dealing players are: Chen Yi, Sword Without End, Zhong Kui. All players who cleared it will...'

Immediately after.

A gateway to the outside world suddenly emerged within the space.

While all players were still frozen in place, their brains completely stopped working, unable to comprehend what had happened.

Chen Yi had already calmly stepped through the gateway, leaning on his cane with one hand, without even looking back he lazily waved his hand and said softly.

"All flash, no substance."
