Over a thousand ships were currently scattered around the islands surrounding Dragonheart Island, all bearing the mark of the War Blood adventurer team. Any ship traveling to Dragonheart Island had to submit to War Bloodâs inspection. In addition, as Dragonheart Island was enveloped by a sealing magic array, communication between the island and the outside world was impossible. Teleportation into and out of the island was also blocked.
At this time, Dragonheart Island was practically War Bloodâs territory.
âDammit! War Blood is too vicious. We clearly arenât Heavenâs Bladeâs members, yet they charged us three Magic Crystals and twenty Ancient Bronze just for leaving Dragonheart Island!â a Level 114, Tier 2 Berserker driving a speedboat cursed angrily as he watched the departing speedboat belonging to War Blood.
âShh! Keep your voice down! They still havenât gone far.â A Level 120, Tier 3 Elementalist on the same speedboat hurriedly covered the angry Berserkerâs mouth. He then warned, âWar Blood has the final say on everything on Dragonheart Island right now. Even the superpowers have no choice but to go along with War Bloodâs whims. We are leaving Dragonheart Island to sell our haul this time. Weâll be finished if we get targeted.â âI wonder what Heavenâs Blade did to anger War Blood to such an extent? Even now, War Blood is still hunting for Heavenâs Bladeâs members. The captured members are even sent to be imprisoned by NPCs,â a Level 117, Tier 2 Oracle mused when she saw that War Bloodâs speedboat was already more than 300 yards away. âIsnât that obvious? War Bloodâs clearly trying to get Heavenâs Bladeâs Lands near the World Tower,â the Berserker said indifferently. âThey are discovering more and more treasures in the World Towerâs underground floors right now. The fourth underground floor is especially amazing. However, the abnormal energy in the fourth floor is overwhelming, and the food needed to recover from this energy is incredibly expensive and uneconomical. The only other way to recover quickly is to rest in the special region around the World Tower. âMeanwhile, Heavenâs Blade owns a total of five plots of Land in that special region, including the sole large-sized plot in the special zone and a medium-sized plot. War Blood is currently in a frenzy to expand its influence, so how can it possibly let such a fat piece of meat get away?â
âIndeed. The Lands around the World Tower are in high demand right now. Since War Blood has already forced Heavenâs Blade to disband, it naturally wonât let go of Heavenâs Bladeâs Lands. The reason War Blood is capturing Heavenâs Bladeâs members is simply to force Heavenâs Bladeâs commander to submit and give up those Lands,â the Elementalist youth said, nodding. âHowever, I doubt Heavenâs Blade will give up so easily. After all, so long as Heavenâs Blade has those five plots of Land, it can make a comeback any time.â
When the players aboard the speedboat spoke of the World Tower, they couldnât help a sense of yearning for it.
Before the players on Dragonheart Island began exploring the World Towerâs fourth underground floor, they hadnât placed much importance on the Lands around the World Tower. After all, those Lands were absurdly expensive. Moreover, they were far from Dragonheart Islandâs business district. Naturally, nobody had been willing to purchase them.
However, after players began exploring the fourth underground floor, they found that it actually housed Tier 4 Legacy Lands!
As a result, the fourth underground floor was now a bone of contention for all superpowers in Godâs Domain.
Unfortunately, there were only 34 plots of Land around the World Tower, which werenât even enough to divide among the local player forces, let alone the foreign superpowers. Moreover, it turned out that not only did Heavenâs Blade own five plots of Land in that special zone, but the adventurer team had even gotten its hands on the best one. How could this not make the various superpowers and War Blood go crazy?
Before the party of six could continue their conversation, a loud explosion suddenly sounded in the distance. Immediately, the party of six, together with the other players in the vicinity, turned to look toward the origin of the explosion.
The next moment, what entered everyoneâs eyes was a group of around 30 cloaked players summoning two Flying Mounts. The two Tier 3 peak experts leading the team worked together and rapidly finished off 20 Tier 3 War Blood experts. Afterward, they each hopped onto a Flying Mount and broke through War Bloodâs encirclement together with their team. âItâs Heavenâs Bladeâs remnants!â
âActivate the magic array! Donât let them escape!â
When the nearby War Blood members saw this scene, they promptly sprang into action. Suddenly, the several dozen War Blood speedboats positioned around the two Flying Mounts set up a sealing barrier. It was evident that War Bloodâs members were prepared for Heavenâs Bladeâs members.
The next moment, before the two Flying Mounts could ascend 200 yards into the air, they were trapped within a magic barrier covering over a thousand yards. The translucent barrier had visible runes decorating it. One could easily tell that it was an Advanced Magic Array at a glance.
If trapped by this barrier, even Tier 4 Mythic monsters would need a lot of time to break out of it, let alone Tier 3 players.
âDammit!â the female Guardian Knight leading Heavenâs Bladeâs team cursed when she saw the barrier, a trace of frustration appearing in her eyes. She then turned to the man standing at the front of the other Flying Mount and asked, âVice Commander Shadow, what should we do? Itâll take us at least three minutes to break out of this barrier. Thatâs more than enough time for War Bloodâs members to surround us.â
At the Guardian Knightâs words, the man named Divine Shadow standing atop the Flying Serpent frowned. It was clear that he hadnât expected War Blood to use such a powerful move against them. âWe have no choice but to fight. Iâll activate my Berserk Skill and distract them afterward. In the meantime, you guys figure out a way to escape this place,â Divine Shadow said as he looked at War Bloodâs approaching experts. He then turned to the female Knight Cleansing Flame and added, âRemember! Do everything you can to leave, even if it means escaping by yourself! Only if you escape will Heavenâs Blade have hope!â
âYes, sir!â Cleansing Flame answered, a solemn expression appearing on her face.
Now that Heavenâs Blade had already disbanded and War Blood was even hunting down Heavenâs Bladeâs members on Dragonheart Island, Heavenâs Bladeâs only hope of making a comeback was to seek help from the outside world. With the Deeds of the special zoneâs Lands in her hands, it was entirely possible to recruit the help of a Super Guild if they paid a certain price.
However, before Cleansing Flame could control her Flying Serpent to head for the barrierâs edge, a powerful voice echoed in the ears of Heavenâs Bladeâs members.
âEscape? Do you think itâs that easy?
âNone of you should think of leaving today!â
Before Divine Shadow and Cleansing Flame could react to the situation, a man suddenly appeared in front of them. This crimson-eyed man wore a dark red robe and held a crimson wooden staff. His entire being also gave off an indescribably evil feeling.
Just by hovering in the air, this evil-looking man exerted a powerful pressure on Heavenâs Bladeâs members. Divine Shadow and the others felt as if a mountain were weighing down their bodies. They could also feel the Mana surrounding them growing hostile.
âAutumn Plant?!â A hint of confusion appeared in Divine Shadowâs eyes when he saw the crimson-robed man. âImpossible! Shouldnât you be leading a team to the fourth floor?â
The evil man blocking their team was none other than Autumn Plant, one of War Bloodâs Four Great Vice Commandersâas well as War Bloodâs sole Tier 4 member. As a Great Wizard, he was an existence capable of destroying half of a small island with one attack.
Previously, Autumn Plant had even single-handedly wiped out tens of thousands of Thirteen Thronesâs experts using a single Tier 4 large-scale destruction Spell. Over twenty of the casualties were Void Realm experts, and three were Domain Realm experts. As a result of this severe loss, Thirteen Thrones had no choice but to back off from competing with War Blood. After this battle, Autumn Plant had also been crowned the undisputed number one player on Dragonheart Island.
Meanwhile, it was because they had caught wind that Autumn Plant had left for the World Towerâs fourth underground floor that they had attempted to escape Dragonheart Island.
Yet, nowâŚ
âHahaha! If I didnât visit the fourth floor, would you remnants be willing to come out?â Autumn Plant sneered contemptuously as he looked down on Divine Autumn and the others.
âYou tricked us!â Divine Shadow clenched his fists in anger. He never thought that he would fall for Autumn Plantâs trap. âWeâve always been rivals in the past. Now that youâve gotten promoted to Tier 4, I want to see just how strong youâve become!â
After saying so, Divine Shadow activated his Berserk Skill, his aura skyrocketing to the point of rivaling Tier 4 Mythic monsters. At this time, if comparing purely in terms of aura, Divine Shadow was not the slightest bit inferior to Autumn Plant.
âFool!â
When Autumn Plant sensed the intensity of Divine Shadowâs aura skyrocketing, his
ssion remained unchanged. Instead, he merely waved his hand.
Before Divine Shadow could react, over a dozen crimson chains appeared out of thin air and bound his body. And despite struggling with all his might, he couldnât break free from their restraint, no matter what. On the contrary, his resistance weakened as time passed.
âHow is this possible?!â Cleansing Flame was stunned.
Divine Shadow was one of Heavenâs Bladeâs few Domain Realm experts. With his Berserk Skill activated, logically, he should be able to put up a good fight against a Tier 4 player. Yet, Divine Shadow was captured instantly. Autumn Plant had thoroughly shattered their understanding of Tier 4 existences.
âHmph. You people donât know just how massive the gap between Tier 3 and Tier 4 classes is. Do you really think you can turn things around when going up against me?â Looking at Cleansing Flameâs stunned expression, Autumn Plant sneered, âLet alone one Domain Realm expert, even ten Domain Realm experts working together wonât last more than three moves against me.â
Realizing the difference between them, Divine Shadow turned to Cleansing Flame and the others and shouted, âDammit! Dammit! Everyone, kill yourselves! Donât let him capture you!â
âDonât even think you can kill yourselves so easily!â Autumn Plant said, brandishing his staff.
The next moment, blood-red chains appeared from the void and bound Cleansing Flame and the others, preventing them from moving their bodies at all. The difference between the two sides was clear for all to see.
âHow can a Tier 4 class be so powerful?!â
Divine Shadow and the others stared at Autumn Plant with disbelief.
They had seen Shi Fengâs battle video during the reserve seat competition at the War Godâs Temple. In their opinion, although Tier 4 players were powerful, they were not an insurmountable opponent. However, they actually couldnât offer even the slightest resistance to Autumn Plant. The strength Autumn Plant displayed far surpassed Shi Fengâs.
While Heavenâs Bladeâs members were shocked by the massive gap in strength between them and Autumn Plant, War Bloodâs other members caught up with them and secured them.
âAlright, take them to the NPCs.â Looking at Divine Shadow and the other remnants of Heavenâs Blade, Autumn Plant smiled and said, âNow that weâve caught two big fish, I refuse to believe that Zwei wonât submit!â
âItâs over! Itâs over! Everythingâs over this time!â Divine Shadow fell into despair when he saw Heavenâs Bladeâs captured members. âIâve truly doomed you guys this time!â
The only reason why they had decided to take on such a risky operation this time was the misinformation he had believed. Now, everyone was doomed because of his foolishness.
After all, if players were imprisoned by NPCs, nothing would change even if they forcibly logged out of the game; they would still reappear in prison after they logged back into the game. Unless they could break out, they would have to spend at least 15 days in prison.
A 15-day gap was more than enough for everyone to fall far behind Godâs Domainâs frontline players.
However, as Divine Shadow was falling into a pit of despair and self-reproach, a Horned Eagle carrying four people suddenly came flying over from a distance. To everyoneâs surprise, the Horned Eagle actually sported Heavenâs Bladeâs flag extremely conspicuously.
âMore remnants of Heavenâs Blade? Seeing as they have a Horned Eagle, it seems another big fish has arrived.â Autumn Plantâs lips curled up in delight when he saw the Horned Eagle.

Meanwhile, this unexpected situation also confused Divine Shadow and the others. They couldnât understand why one of Heavenâs Bladeâs Horned Eagles would be flying to them from outside Dragonheart Island. However, when they recalled Autumn Plantâs capabilities, they immediately began shouting at the people riding the Horned Eagle to escape.
Although Tier 4 players could fly, their flying speed wasnât comparable to Flying Mounts. Hence, it was still possible to escape if the Horned Eagle flew at full speed.
âEscape? Do you think thatâs possible?â
After saying so, Autumn Plant used Instantaneous Movement and rapidly approached the Horned Eagle.
A Tier 4 Great Wizardâs Instantaneous Movement had a range of 3,000 yards, many times superior to a Tier 3 Great Mageâs Instantaneous Movement.
