At this moment, Nanami fell into a state of stupor.
The Undead Mage completed three layers in over half an hour!
Now already past the sixty-sixth layer!
She originally wanted to try the sixty-fifth layer, but now, she suddenly lost her motivation.
The gap is just too big!
The other party passed three layers in a short time, which is a different concept from her barely passing the sixty-fourth layer.
Moreover.
All four of Nanami’s pieces of equipment were damaged, while the other party’s equipment was clearly unscathed!
It could even be said that it was passed easily.
In such a comparison, even if Nanami puts in the utmost effort and luckily doesn’t die, passing the sixty-fifth layer would most likely be her limit.
Trying to reclaim the number one ranking is impossible!
"President, should I go repair the equipment now?" the maid asked cautiously.
"No need." Nanami shook her head.
Her expression appeared calm, but everyone knew her emotions were in turmoil at this moment!
She did not leave, instead, she waited in the dungeon hall like everyone else.
As for charging forward, she has completely given up.
Yet she was unwilling to let it go, wanting to see how arrogant that Undead Mage could get!
Thirteen minutes later.
The ranking refreshed, and the Undead Mage’s layer count became sixty-seven!
Nanami sighed inwardly, her last sliver of hope completely shattered.
A dozen more minutes passed.
The Undead Mage’s layer count became sixty-eight!
Afterwards, with hardly any time difference.
The Undead Mage’s layer count climbed rapidly!
The sixty-ninth layer was quickly passed.
Then came the seventieth layer, which the Undead Mage passed in twenty minutes!
The seventieth layer is a major hurdle.
Every subsequent layer will have increasing difficulty!
But this still didn’t approach the Undead Mage’s limit, he managed to pass the seventieth layer in twenty minutes!
At this moment, in dungeon halls across Japan, there was a complete silence.
The excitement and enthusiasm vanished without a trace.
Their top-ranking Yin Yang Master from Japan was utterly suppressed by the Undead Mage, as if being ground into the dirt!
There was simply no comparison!
"Thinking back now, that Undead Mage taking a layer in the morning and a layer at night, was just playing around!"
"Yeah, he could have beaten it earlier, just wasn’t in a hurry."
"Now that he’s taken the top spot, he’s just storming layers to secure his ranking."
"Damn, the gap is just too huge!"
"I used to believe in Nanami so much, but now this?"
"Could it be that Nanami really thought she was qualified to compete with that Undead Mage?"
"Which country are you from, turning your back like that?"
...
Amidst the lively commotion, more than half of the resentment in Nanami’s heart had disappeared.
Instead, a deep sense of powerlessness replaced it.
In front of her, that Undead Mage was like an insurmountable mountain!
There was no possibility of surpassing it!
Meanwhile, on the other side.
In the various dungeon halls of Longxia, there was a scene of excitement and liveliness!
"Seventieth layer, rank one, damn, that’s impressive!"
"No one can surpass this within at least a year, right?"
"The Undead Mage boss is mighty, who knows this Undead Mage, I want an autograph!"
"Haha, this feels great, so satisfying!"
"Longxia is number one globally!"
...
As for Lu Ran, after passing the seventieth layer, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Murmuring to himself: "The seventieth layer’s difficulty increased quite a bit, but fortunately, it’s still beatable."
He was not worried.
Anyway, he had the charging Blood Spear as a finisher, and the Yin and Yang Realms ensured his survival.
With almost endless ancient golems, Lu Ran also had no chance of losing health.
So, he planned to continue.
But just then.
Liu Xinxin sent a message over: "Stop for now, come out."
Lu Ran was about to continue when he suddenly saw the message and immediately exited the Endless Tower without hesitation.
Liu Xinxin was waiting outside with some anxiety.
Seeing Lu Ran coming out, she urgently said: "Something’s not right, I sent messages to your Sister Hong and Lei Tai twenty minutes ago, neither have replied."
Lu Ran’s heart tightened.
He hurriedly asked: "Did they log off?"
If they logged off, then there was a chance they could have died.
After all, Ye Hongyi and Lei Tai didn’t have the habit or need to use communication devices for invisibility.
"No, but it’s strange. Considering Sister Hong’s odd behavior before, I think something might have happened, let’s go check." Liu Xinxin considered thoughtfully.
"Alright." Lu Ran agreed without hesitation.
He looked back at the global ranking board of the Endless Tower.
Seventieth layer firmly secured the first place.
The second place, Nanami, was still at the sixty-fourth layer.
"No need to look, unless Nanami is seeking death, she won’t continue. Her Shikigami is quite powerful, to be pushed to this extent by you and still not be killed is somewhat regrettable." Liu Xinxin said with regret.
And Lu Ran’s current ranking was beyond Nanami’s reach!
After speaking.
Liu Xinxin took out her Magic Staff.
Then a bright green light flashed on her body, enveloping her and Lu Ran.
The next second.
Hum~
A pair of green energy wings appeared on their backs, and Lu Ran immediately felt his body become a lot lighter.
"Can I fly now? How do I fly? How do I control it?" Lu Ran asked excitedly.
"You can’t fly." Liu Xinxin replied with a mix of amusement and helplessness: "This is a buff skill from the Elf Race, it significantly increases movement speed, and combined with your Corrosion skill, it allows me to continuously extend acceleration, making our travel quicker."
Southern Border.
Forest of Ten Thousand Corpses!
This is a place where Miao Village gathers Gu training materials.
It used to be relatively peaceful here, but today, it’s in chaos!
At this moment.
Ye Hongyi, Lei Tai, Wei Yingying, along with others stood together.
A total of over a dozen people.
Lei Tai held his shield with both hands in front.
Five giant energy shields rotated around them.
Defending strictly!
And on a small hill not far away.
More than a hundred professionals were watching them.
"What are you here for!" Wei Yingying gritted her teeth and asked, her gaze locked firmly on the surroundings.
"Afraid you’d die, of course, I had to come and see." Ye Hongyi said without turning her head.
"Well now, you’re going to die here too." Wei Yingying said with a grim expression.
"Stop chatting, think of a way to break through, I can’t hold on for long!" Lei Tai said with a livid face.
Those over a hundred professionals were currently focusing their attacks.
Lei Tai had already used the Earth Knight’s level sixty Awakening Skills!
But still couldn’t hold on for long.
The other party had too many people, and they were all high-level!
"It’s U.S.A’s people, damn, how are they here!" Wei Yingying said with a grim expression.
"This is a weak point in the National Defense Army’s protection, infiltrating Longxia from here is a good idea, we just happened to stumble upon it." Ye Hongyi said in a deep voice.
Wei Yingying took a deep breath.
Said: "Let’s break through, break this barrier!"
But Ye Hongyi shook her head.
Said: "Even our communication devices are being jammed, this isn’t a normal barrier, but an Exorcist’s Awakening Skill, the Evil Demon Barrier, it’s not something we can break quickly, to break out, we have to kill that Exorcist first!"
But this was easier said than done, with over a hundred people on the hill, how to rush and kill?
Caught between a rock and a hard place!
Wei Yingying glanced at the scattered Walking Dead wandering around, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes.
She held a Gu cup with one hand, from which a scarlet mist seemed to spread out like smoke.
"Thousand Day Red!" Ye Hongyi was shocked: "Yingying, what are you doing!"
Wei Yingying gritted her teeth: "I want to trigger all the Walking Dead in this Forest of Ten Thousand Corpses! If we’re going to die, they shouldn’t think of leaving alive either!"
