    When Snickersnee saw the Natural Bloodstone in Li Yi’s hands, despite his usual calm, even he began to stammer.


    “T-that’s... That’s...” As an apex Ironsmith, Snickersnee understood the Natural Bloodstone a lot better than Li Yi did.


    “Take it. This thing is useless to me, but it could be of some use to you.”


    Li Yi waved and teleported away.


    The Natural Bloodstone was one of the best materials for forging weapons there was. Li Yi had no use for it, but to Snickersnee, this item was unbelievably valuable.


    “ng! ng! ng! ng!”


    As soon as Li Yi left, Snickersnee lit up the furnace and began forging with great enthusiasm...


    ...


    Li Yi stood at the entrance to the Deathwing Instance Dungeon, ck Rock Mountain’s ultimate dungeon, and hesitated for a long time before he finally walked in.


    There was a system notification. [You have entered the Deathwing Instance Dungeon...]


    The ck Rock Mountain’s ultimate dungeon, Deathwing, was a Level 100 peak-level dungeon. Unlike the Light and Darkness Instances, the Deathwing Instance Dungeon had been there from the very beginning. As long as a yer could satisfy the entry requirements, they would be able to enter the dungeon regardless of their level.


    However, as of right now, nobody had achieved the dungeon’s first kill. In the two years since King of Pantheon began, many yers had had the guts to challenge the ck Dragon King, Deathwing, but not a single yer had ever defeated him.


    The ck Dragon King, Deathwing, was the ancestor of all ck dragons and one of the Pantheon world’s ancient five colored dragon kings. It was equal in status to Augustus’ Red Dragon Queen; the ck Dragon Princess, Onyxia, and the current ck Dragon King, Ferrian, were both its descendants.


    Of the ancient five colored dragon kings, after the Ancient God Wars, the Red Dragon Queen became Augustus’ mount. The Green Dragon King, the Yellow Dragon King, and the Blue Dragon King all went missing. Deathwing was seriously injured and on the brink of death, so in order to survive, it did not hesitate to sell its soul to the Abyssal Devil. Although it obtained great power and near immortality, its body also suffered a punishment of equal measure.


    Deathwing’s body was covered with eternal mes of evil, and they would burn its body and soul forever, inflicting horrible pain on it. In order to minimize the pain, it was always hiding in the lowest space at the very bottom of ck Rock Mountain, using a precious draconian treasure to suppress the mes on its body.


    Deathwing left its cave often and would randomly attack a yer city on one of the three continents. No one could hold a candle to its mes, and as of yet, nobody had managed to kill it.


    In the past life, Li Yi had seen how powerful Deathwing was firsthand, which was why he was reluctant toe here this time. If the Evil God Summoning Scroll’s newest instructions were not [Retrieve Deathwing’s ming Scale], he would never havee to such a ridiculous dungeon.


    Upon entering the dungeon, all he could see was a wastnd. The heat was overwhelming, and before he could even see Deathwing, Li Yi’s HP was already trickling away.


    “Territory Release!”


    The gold-colored light barrier spread around him, and the rate at which Li Yi’s HP was falling slowed down considerably.


    Deathwing was a unique dungeon in that there were no monsterlings here, only one boss, Deathwing.


    When yers entered the ck Dragon Legion Instance Dungeon, Deathwing’s head would appear and spew mes at them. However, yers could not attack Deathwing in that dungeon. They could only fight it in this one, the Deathwing Instance Dungeon.


    “Roar— Roar— Roar—”


    He could hear dragon roars from the depths of the wastnd. It was the sound of Deathwing being tortured by the evil mes.


    Li Yi tried to summon Onyxia, but it did not work. In this dungeon, yers were not allowed to use any mounts. It seemed that Li Yi’s n to use Onyxia to approach Deathwing was not going to work.


    Li Yi took a few more steps ahead and stopped.


    He saw a huge ming dragon head, even bigger than Onyxia’s entire body, waving back and forth in agony.


    That was Deathwing’s head. He could not walk any further, or else he would enter battle mode.


    Li Yi sat on the floor and drank some potions. He then activated God Mode and threw a gold-colored Hunt Target at it before falling to the ground using Pseudocide.


    “Roar—”


    Deathwing roared furiously and the gold-colored Hunt Target instantly shattered, vanishing. With the power of the Territory enhancing it, the Hunt Target, which was previously nothing more than a hologram, was now material and solid. Although stacking Hunt Targets multiplied his ATK, doing this had a clear weakness as well, in that the Hunt Target could be shattered easily.


    Thankfully, Li Yi was prepared for this, so he used Pseudocide ahead of time and was not pulled into battle.


    Li Yi stayed sprawled on the floor, waiting for some time, and he only crawled back up when he guessed that Deathwing was no longer alert.


    The Violent Bear King appeared beneath his feet, and he drew his Orange Quality Bow, aiming at Deathwing’s head.


    “Tch-psh-bish-tst-pst-brrrr...”


    The Hunt Target did not work, so he had lost at least five times the damage. That was why he had no choice but to use Powered-up Arrow instead.


    “Zzzip—”


    The pale blue Star Arrow shot out, spinning, and urately hit Deathwing’s enormous head.


    “Smack!”


    [?155674]


    A damage figure of 150,000 floated from Deathwing’s head, and with a loud roar, the enormous head raised itself.


    “Boom! Boom!”


    The ground around them shook, and Li Yi looked up at Deathwing’srge body, several kilometers long. He felt like an ant looking up at an elephant.


    The difference was overwhelming...


    “How dare a mere human disturb a great dragon’s rest! Die!”


    Deathwing lifted its w up high and mmed it down hard on Li Yi.


    Deathwing’s body was several kilometers long, and even one of its ws was several hundred square meters wide. Its putting one w down felt like the ceiling was falling down on him. The range of its attack was huge.


    There was no way for him to avoid it, unless Li Yi could dash several hundred meters away in an instant. That was why he had no choice but to tank the hit with his Territory.


    Deathwing’s w hit Li Yi’s Territory light barrier, but it did not slow down for even a second. Instead, it came down on him smoothly.


    “Baroom!”


    The intense vibrations felt as though there was an earthquake.


    [?456765]


    Deathwing moved its w away, and Li Yi’s body was already a stter on the floor. It waspletely one-sided, and just like that, the battle was over...


    ...


    Li Yi immediately chose to resurrect at the temple, leaving the Deathwing Instance Dungeon.


    The difference was too much. His Territory’s ability to slow down movements had no effect on Deathwing whatsoever, so what chance did he stand?


    “Is Brother Nine there?


    “Is Unmatched there?


    “Is Rongrong there?


    “Jiaojiao, bring Big-tits Qian and Ice to ck Rock Mountain right now!”


    Li Yi stood at the entrance of the dungeon and began to shoot out messages, calling out for people. Deathwing was too overpowered, he had absolutely no confidence that he would be able to solo this, so he had to ask his friends for help.


    Two hourster, the entrance to the Deathwing Instance Dungeon was flooded with yers. Brother Windcloud Nine and his wife, the Windcloud n, Unending Unmatched, Confused Fox, Flower Underpants, Jiaojiao. Gongsun Chuqian, Pretty Good Mood, and so on. Li Yi had summoned every friend he had who was currently online.


    There was no limit to the number of party members one could bring into the Deathwing Instance Dungeon. In other words, one person could challenge, but so could a hundred, or ten thousand people at once.


    “You want to challenge an Ancient Boss? Oh my god...” Confused Fox just shook his head.


    “I’ve no other choice. There’s a quest I wanna do that requires beating this judgment, so I guess I’ll be troubling you.”


    Flower Underpants patted his chest. “It’s no trouble! Your problem is our problem. I don’t care if it’s ancient or whatnot. With enough people, we can still take it down.”


    Brother Windcloud Nineughed heartily. “Haha, exactly. My Territory has now reached Level 16, so regr dungeons are just too easy. I was just thinking of looking for a slightly more difficult dungeon myself.”


    Sister Windcloud Nine approached him again, saying with an expression of concern, “Darling, don’t push yourself too hard...”


    Brother Windcloud Nine red at her. “We men are talking, so stay out of it, woman! Go stand at the side!”


    Sister Windcloud Nine obediently obliged.


    “What a man!” The people around them gave him a huge thumbs-up.


    There were more yers arriving at the scene, and Li Yi did not reject any who came. Every single one of them joined the party, and the membership numbers increased exponentially until the party had more than five thousand members.


    The elites from the Windcloud n and the Iron Alliance were more or less all here. Even the raid on the Southern Continent did not have a gathering this grand.


    “Let’s go in!”


    With a wave of Li Yi’s hand, the army of five thousand strong strode into the Deathwing Instance Dungeon.


    The interior of the dungeon was huge to begin with, so forget five thousand, even fifty or five hundred thousand could fit inside without a problem.


    It was not Pretty Good Mood’s first time here, either. He had led a party here several times before, so he knew the surroundings very well. As soon as they entered the dungeon, he began to delegate tasks. “Everyone, split up to the sides and surround Deathwing. Remember, don’t get too close. If anyone identally pulls its aggro, don’t me me for biting your head off.”


    Sister Windcloud Nine was just about to follow the rest away when Pretty Good Mood held her back without hesitation.


    “Stand right there. Don’t move.”


    Sister Windcloud Nine was confused. “W-why?”


    “You’re naturally dumb, so I won’t exin.”


    There were more than five thousand people in here now, and if anyone identally pulled Deathwing’s aggro, all five thousand of them would be pulled into battle. They had not even decided how they were going to fight yet, so if they pulled its aggro, they would die without a doubt. That was a steep price to pay.


    Brother Windcloud concurred. “If he told you to stay still, stay still. Just wait right there.”


    Sister Windcloud Nine nodded obediently. “Okay...”


    The five thousand odd yers began to slowly split up to the two sides, gradually trapping Deathwing between them.


    Pretty Good Mood asked Li Yi, “Guild Master, have you figured out a strategy?”


    “No...”


    “Then how will we fight?”


    “You’re themander, you decide how we’ll fight.”


    Li Yi’s words immediately shut Pretty Good Mood up. “I...”


    He could not like it either, but there was no choice. Be it in the previous life or the current one, he had never figured out a way to defeat Deathwing, so he could only throw the problem at Pretty Good Mood and hope he could solve it.


    “Guild Master, I’m great at fighting regr dungeons, but I can’t do ancient dungeons...” Pretty Good Mood was cowering even before they started the battle.


    He had already attempted this several times with his parties, but he had yet toe up with any bright ideas. Now, there were more than five thousand people here, so if something went wrong with his leadership, he would not even be able topensate for the losses sustained from a few deaths.


    “I think I have an idea.”


    The female Dwarfmander, Shangguan Bailu, stepped forth and exined her n.


    “It’s difficult to defeat Deathwing because of howrge its body is, which means it has a ridiculous attack range. That’s why I suggest using a sacrificial strategy.”


    “What kind of sacrificial strategy?”


    “I suggest having one person pull its aggro and sacrifice themselves, while everyone else runs to its sides and behind it, attacking it all at once.”


    ...
