Full health is the kill threshold, no matter if you're a god or a demon!

Liu Nian's eyes lit up.

I never expected it to be this skill!

This thing is absolutely amazing! With his health, he's practically immune to magic!

Furthermore, it can restore energy; when energy is full, it restores battle spirit; and when battle spirit is full, it restores health...

It truly lives up to its reputation as an eternal-level skill!

Without a doubt, I learned it immediately and maxed it out to level 5, increasing the effect from 50% to 100%.

Then they opened the treasure chest.

[Ding! You have received 200000 Crystal Coins]

[Obtain Special Item: Hand of the Pharaoh (Remains)]

Liu Nian was taken aback.

The Hand of the Pharaoh?

Isn't that the BOSS's name?

He took out the golden hand bone.

The hand bones were entirely golden, with each finger bone covered in intricate runes, and a small scroll was held within them.

Liu Nian opened the scroll.

The image above is a map with seven locations marked.

The first location is Graystone Castle (Hand of the Pharaoh, already completed).

The second location is Crimson Wasteland (Pharaoh's Foot, incomplete).

The third location is the Forgotten Forest (Arm of the Pharaoh, unfinished).

The fourth location is the Frost Mountains (Pharaoh's Body, incomplete).

The fifth location is the Lost Swamp (Heart of the Pharaoh, unfinished).

The sixth location is Boiling Canyon (Eye of the Pharaoh, incomplete).

The seventh location is the Temple of Eternal Rest (Pharaoh's Skull, incomplete).

On the back of the scroll, a line of text is engraved:

"The Pharaoh's body was buried in seven places. Gather the seven remains to summon his true form."

Liu Nian squinted his eyes.

It turned out to be the case.

The Pharaoh's hand is only one-seventh.

There is also the head of the Pharaoh, the feet of the Pharaoh, the body of the Pharaoh, the arms of the Pharaoh, the heart of the Pharaoh, and the eyes of the Pharaoh.

Only by collecting all seven can the true Pharaoh be summoned.

Liu Nian suddenly thought of something.

Could it be that... the remaining six sections... are all regional bosses as well?

That would be awesome!

Each one, like today, can provide a large amount of experience, reputation, and rewards.

If the Dragonborn could have it all to themselves...

I can't guarantee anything else, but Liu Nian's level will at least reach 190 or higher.

There are also massive rewards of crystal coins, eternal-grade items, and reputation—after a few more regional bosses, his reputation will reach S-rank, qualifying him for the Void Arena.

Yun Xiangrong was also checking the rewards with a look of surprise, but she didn't get the Prism Treasure Chest.

It seems this is a hidden quest prepared for the player who contributed the most.

Although no specific coordinates were provided, only a map name, Liu Nian felt that with Xiao Lan around, as long as he knew the general location, he could find it by spending a little time.

"Let's go back to the city!"

Liu Nian didn't want to appear in Graystone Castle at this time, so he went straight back to the Ovitan F-376 tower with Yun Xiangrong.

The two figures appeared out of thin air on the first floor of the tower.

Yun Xiangrong plopped down on the wooden chair, her face flushed with excitement, gesturing wildly: "Level 124! Liu Nian, did you see that? I'm level 124!"

Liu Nian nodded, poured her a glass of water, and handed it to her: "I saw it."

"Reputation! B-rank! I actually reached B-rank!" Yun Xiangrong took the water glass and drank it all in one gulp, still excited. "And this is only half a day! If I were to grind quests on my own, it would take me half a month to get this high! If only I could encounter another regional boss!"

Liu Nian sat down opposite him, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Don't worry, there will be bread."

"I also got two legendary items! Look!" Yun Xiangrong showed them to Liu Nian. One was a wristband, and the other was a headdress, both of which were very suitable for mages to wear.

Pharaohs are magic-based classes, so it's normal for the items they drop to be suitable for mages.

"By the way, what about you? Your reward must be even better!"

Liu Nian's gains were certainly better than Yun Xiangrong's!

In addition to the two permanent items, his attributes also experienced an explosive increase:

Health Points: 12,518,429,943

Attack power: 406,453,231

Yes, even without transforming, my life points have now exceeded 100 billion.

If it's a transformation... tsk tsk...

Liu Nian felt that it was no surprise that he had taken the top spot on the combat power ranking.

He briefly showed Yun Xiangrong the newly acquired skills: the Guardian of the Serpent God and the Eternal Wonder, the Boundary Breaker.

Yun Xiangrong's mouth dropped open: "Oh! Oh! So powerful! Can this Boundary Breaker teleport back to the competition area?"

Liu Nian shook his head: "No! It tells me I've exceeded the level cap."

"That's a pity..."

Liu Nian did not reveal the matter of the regional BOSS—not because he did not trust Yun Xiangrong, but because the fewer people who knew the information, the safer it would be.

We can call her next time we go to get it done.

He opened his friends list and found Yin Qianyu.

"Where?"

Yin Qianyu: "The Free Trade Zone. It's back?"

Liu Nian: "Okay. Let's come to the tower."

After sending the message, he turned to Yun Xiangrong and asked, "How many crystal coins do you have?"

Yun Xiangrong looked at it and said, "About sixty thousand."

Liu Nian quickly calculated the numbers in his backpack—from the secret realm's harvest and the BOSS rewards, he now had around 32 crystal coins.

The total is 38 million.

We're still a long way from buying a Grade B tower.

In Ovitarn, the cheapest tower costs 50, while better ones start at a million. To have a decent foothold in the main city, you'll need to keep saving money.

He leaned back in his chair, gazing at the hazy sky outside the window, his thoughts drifting to another battlefield.

I wonder how things are going with Wu Zhan.

Now that the regional boss storyline has been discovered, Liu Nian thinks that the martial arts battle should be accelerated. It would be best to get everyone into the Netherworld as soon as possible so that everyone can farm regional bosses together and quickly improve their strength!

He opened private chat and sent a message to Wu Zhan:

"Are you there? How are things?"

A few seconds later, Wu Zhan replied:

"Don't even mention it! Damn it, those bastards are infuriating!"

Liu Nian asked what was wrong; it seemed things weren't going well.

"Do you know what's going on? Those pig-men, rat-men, and goblins are practically begging to be our heads every day!"

"Huh?" Liu Nian was stunned. "Why?"

"Because they discovered that we can ascend to immortality once we break through level 99! Every one that ascends is one less available! So now they're hoping we kill them to level up... so they can send us away through this method!"

Liu Nian was stunned: Holy crap... this works too?

"So how did you deal with it?" he asked.

"What else can we do? Just hold it in!" Wu Zhan's voice was full of frustration. "Luckily, you bought five five-headed lizards beforehand to guard the gate... otherwise, if those bastards really broke in, we'd have to fight them whether we wanted to or not—and if we fought, we'd all ascend, and then there would be no one to guard our old home down there!"

Liu Nian's lips twitched; he could imagine Wu Zhan's frustrated expression.

"But things are better now." Wu Zhan changed the subject. "The Demon Bear Clan and the Eagle Descendants have entered the fray."

Liu Nian's eyes lit up: "Oh?"

"That guy, Sun Eater, finally couldn't sit still anymore. He was originally attacking the goblins' Doomsday Cannon, but the goblins just hid in the fortress and wouldn't come out, so he turned around and started attacking the ratmen. The Eaglefolk were also woken up by Yang Lavi's scolding, and now the two sides have joined forces and are fighting fiercely against the three chaotic races."
