“Human beings!” The giant dragon in the sky actually uttered an angry voice in Chinese, “You deserve to die!”
While Pang Kirates was sleeping, the weekly guild battle event of “Voyage through the Void” began.
Guild battles were mostly about large guilds competing for rewards, with small guilds just tagging along. Since Phoenix Arrival had established their guild, they had never participated in such events, and even if they did, the other large guilds would not take them seriously.
One hour before the start of the guild battle, a guardian wooden figure with a health bar would appear in front of each guild’s door, in the guild hall, and at the guild’s warehouse. Ten minutes before the battle started, guilds had to submit to the system the guild they intended to attack. Once the battle began, they would attack the guardian wooden figure of that guild. If all three wooden figures were destroyed, the targeted guild would lose, resulting in a decrease in guild level and points, and one item from the guild’s warehouse would randomly drop.
As for the victors, they would gain experience, points, and items from the opponent guild’s warehouse, along with a chance to draw some guild benefits. There were many advantages.
A guild could challenge multiple guilds and could also be challenged by multiple guilds, but when attacking another guild, only 20 people could be sent to the opposing guild, and defenders also faced a challenger with only 20 people to defend. If challenged by multiple guilds, the number of defenders would double, and it was possible to seek alliance guilds to jointly defend.
Before the event started, Phoenix Arrival’s members did not take the guild battle seriously. No one had ever challenged them before, and they focused on developing their guild for bullying the weak and for lifestyle purposes, not getting involved in the grudges among the game’s bigwigs.
Unexpectedly, ten minutes before the event, Phoenix Among Birds suddenly received five challenges from other guilds, including Panlong, which had just returned to full level, and four others, all ranked high on the leaderboard!
After a brief consideration, Phoenix Among Birds realized that being the first guild to reach full level had attracted many experts. It was unfortunate for their guild, which was composed of girls who usually had no allies, to now face 100 top gamers in battle.
Fortunately, only one or two of these people had reached full level, with the rest averaging level 110. Phoenix Among Birds, who was a hidden level 140, was not necessarily going to lose.
As the guild leader, Phoenix Among Birds immediately gathered her members. Their entire guild had only 57 people, without much of a foundation, and some of the girls had real-life commitments and could not log on to battle, ultimately gathering only 49 people. They were to face 100 top players in a desperate battle.
Tu Qinyuanhua took out all his resources and distributed them to the members, quietly asking Phoenix Among Birds, “Guild leader, should we wake up Dragon God and ask him to fight for us?”
“No,” Phoenix Among Birds decisively refused, “Dragon God has finally escaped the system’s purge. We can’t let the system notice him again. Take out your invisibility cloak and cover that pile of gold coins, don’t let others discover it.”
“Okay!” Tu Qinyuanhua took out the cloak to cover the pile of gold coins. The little golden dragon had already been sleeping inside it for three days and nights. During this time, they had played in the guild hall without waking the Dragon God. A mere guild battle should not affect him.
The battle started, and Phoenix Arrival split into three groups: 15 people in front of the main gate, 15 people at the guild’s warehouse, and 19 people in the hall. Normally, in guild battles, the focus of defense should be the warehouse, as breaking through the hall and the main gate would not result in the loss of any items. Only if all three wooden figures were destroyed within an hour would it be considered a loss. However, once the warehouse’s wooden figure was destroyed, it would immediately drop an item from the warehouse, causing a loss. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the main force would be arranged at the warehouse.
The strategy of Phoenix Arrival was different, instructing the followers guarding the gate and the storeroom not to engage in prolonged battles. If the wooden figures were destroyed, they were to quickly regroup in the hall. Losing one or two items was deemed insignificant; the main objective during the hour-long clan battle was to defend the hall.
The sisters of Phoenix Arrival were well aware of what resided in the hall and were determined to prevent the discovery of the Dragon God’s presence. Clutching their weapons tightly, they were ready to fight to the end.
Although their levels were high, their skills were lacking. Few among them were skilled players, with only Phoenix Arrival and Tu Qinyuanhua possessing a semblance of combat awareness. The rest relied on their high levels to sustain them, but when faced with two or even three opponents, they quickly fell into disarray and were defeated.
Especially after the man with the ID “Soaring Up To 90,000 Li”, bearing a pair of black bone wings on his back, joined the fray, the battle became one-sided.
As the wooden figures outside the gate were about to be destroyed, the followers of Phoenix Arrival did not linger in battle. Those who died respawned in the clan hall, while the survivors abandoned the wooden figures and rushed into the hall.
“Soaring Up To 90,000 Li?” Phoenix Arrival frowned upon hearing this name. “Didn’t he quit the game three months ago?”
Tu Qinyuanhua reminded, “Clan leader, have you forgotten? After Dragon God single-handedly defeated thirty elite players without a scratch, Peng God was drawn by the forum’s hype and returned along with Heluo Taoist and the Veteran of Wars, declaring they would play until max level and team up with Sword God to challenge Dragon God.”
“What Peng God! Pah!” Celestial Maiden Setting Off Fireworks spat, “If he were a man, he’d fight one-on-one. To gang up with the undying insects of Panlong and bring a hundred from five clans against our small clan of fifty-seven, do they have no shame? Does that even qualify them as gods?”
Tu Qinyuanhua fell silent. If it were Sword Aiming at the Sky, such actions would be unthinkable. That person was somewhat rigid, always striving for fairness. If he realized the disparity in numbers during a battle, he likely would withdraw, refusing to engage in such dishonorable warfare.
But Soaring Up To 90,000 Li was different; he had always been unscrupulous in achieving his goals. His departure from the game was due to a fallout with Sword Aiming at the Sky, after leading dozens to challenge Sword Aiming at the Sky alone. In his dying moment, Sword Aiming at the Sky unleashed a fatal blow, decapitating Soaring Up To 90,000 Li amidst the crowd. Since then, ridiculed by the gaming community and feeling out of place, he left the game.
This time, seizing the opportunity of Sword Aiming at the Sky’s setback, Soaring Up To 90,000 Li returned, spending lavishly to quickly reach max level.
Had it not been for Phoenix Arrival activating the Dragon God cheat, Soaring Up To 90,000 Li would have been the first to reach max level in the game. Now ranked fifty-eighth, he was not about to let it go, coincidentally during the clan battle, he joined forces with Panlong and other clans to take advantage of the situation.
A sister guarding the storeroom tearfully reported in the clan channel, “Clan leader, these bastards are inhumane. They’re not just after the mechanical wooden figures; they’re targeting us. One of our sisters has already dropped to level 119!”
Phoenix Arrival said with a stern face, “Soaring Up To 90,000 Li wants to degrade all of us, aiming to become the top-ranked player in the game.”
“What kind of man is that!” Celestial Maiden Setting Off Fireworks exclaimed furiously.
The followers of Phoenix Arrival were outraged, but outnumbered and outmatched, they were unable to withstand Soaring Up To 90,000 Li. Many died repeatedly, losing a significant amount of equipment and levels.
Soaring Up To 90,000 Li belonged to a mixed race of demons and specters in the game, his two pairs of bone wings a racial trait, further enhanced by special materials. The wind generated by the bone wings could inflict a weakened state on enemies, making it a formidable skill.
With his weakening effect, others did not hesitate to attack the sisters of Phoenix Arrival. Just 20 minutes into the event, all members of the clan, except for Phoenix Arrival, had dropped a level.
“How curious,” Soaring Up To 90,000 Li mused, stroking his chin, “why aren’t you guarding the storeroom but instead fighting in the hall? And there seems to be a spot you’re avoiding.”
His gaze landed on the location of an invisibility cloak. With a blink of his purple eyes, he smiled, “An invisibility cloak, huh? Let’s see what’s hidden.”
With a wave of his hand, a dozen people surrounded the Phoenix Arrival members, cornering them. Phoenix Arrival and the others, outnumbered, found themselves unable to approach.
The invisibility cloak could be nullified by killing its wearer or using special items.
Soaring Up To 90,000 Li’s gaze pinpointed Tu Qinyuanhua. With a flourish of his bone wings, demonic energy wrapped around Tu Qinyuanhua, as several members of Panlong rushed forward, eliminating him.
Upon Tu Qinyuanhua’s death, the invisibility cloak and its wearer disappeared together, revealing a pile of gold coins below.
“Using top-grade items to hide a pile of ownerless gold coins?” Soaring Up To 90,000 Li curiously remarked, “Do you really treat your clan as a treasure trove?”
He reached out, collected the coins, and as the pile of gold diminished, a small golden dragon that had been soundly sleeping amid the coins fell to the ground.
At that moment, Phoenix Arrival broke through the encirclement and rushed to the small golden dragon’s side, blocking Soaring Up To 90,000 Li. Her true level was 140, far surpassing Soaring Up To 90,000 Li. If not for the fear of the game administrators banning her account for being too high-leveled, Phoenix Arrival would have revealed her true power and eliminated these shameless robbers long ago.
“Phoenix Arrival? Panlong-Xiao Nie’s wife?” Soaring Up To 90,000 Li recognized Phoenix Arrival but didn’t take her seriously, “You think you can challenge me alone?”
As he prepared to attack Phoenix Arrival, a thunderous dragon roar echoed: “Roar!!!”
After the gold coins vanished, the small golden dragon, now fully awake and enraged by the theft of its coins and the disturbance of its slumber, unleashed its fury.
No one could withstand the wrath of Pang Kirates.
The small golden dragon grew larger, eventually bursting through the clan hall, soaring into the sky with a long howl. Its wings unfurled, and its body grew as large as the clan’s main city, a sun-blocking golden dragon appearing over the city.
Even in its new golden skin, the members of Panlong, having been decimated twice, immediately recognized it as the fat dragon. Panic-stricken, they fled in terror, screaming, “Yuan Cun Feng wasn’t deleted; he’s become a gold-light raging dragon, run!”
The mention of “Yuan Cun Feng” sent a wave of fear through many, feeling as if lava was poured over them from head to toe, their bones aching. Many decided to log off immediately, unwilling to stay in the game to be tormented.
As they attempted to exit through the game panel, they discovered their bodies were immobilized.
“Human beings!” The giant dragon in the sky spoke in Chinese, issuing an angry proclamation, “You deserve to die!”
Simultaneously, the servers that maintained the operation of the game crashed, a vast force from within causing “Voyage into the Void” to escape the control of the gaming company.
ใWarning! Warning! The existence of the host Pang Kirates has endangered the world’s order. Continuing to use the primal force will deduct 1,000,000 points, and Pang Kirates will never reach adulthood!ใ

Fat Dragon: “Attack my servants, kill my A-Zhu, steal my gold coins, disturb my beautiful dream, deserve to die, deserve to die, deserve to die, roar!!!!!!”
