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

Black sand grains slid down with a soft rustling sound, and something was emerging from beneath the sand. One, two, ten, a hundred—countless black figures crawled out of the sand, swaying as they stood up.

Those are the guardians of withered bones.

But unlike the ones encountered in the Bone Sands, these skeleton guardians were entirely black, their bones covered in a layer of black crystals, and dark red flames burned in their eye sockets. Their numbers were astonishing, a dense, endless swarm!

[Level 125-135 Bone Guardian (Obsidian Mutant)]

Kal'tsit's expression changed: "So many!"

She was a little worried because the monsters here were generally more than 10 levels higher than the players of the Divine Dragon Guild... Would this work?

Liu Nian's voice rang out directly in the team channel: "Everyone, prepare for battle!"

More than two thousand people instantly entered battle mode, with each captain leading their team to charge, and the ten teams advancing in ten different directions!

Liu Nian did not move.

These monsters posed absolutely no threat to him. He was already level 189, and these monsters could neither give him experience points nor help him stack any attributes.

Therefore, there is no need to take action.

He stood atop the altar, watching the battle between over two thousand men and countless skeletons guarding the battlefield.

Two thousand and seventy-three people, divided into ten teams, shot like ten arrows released from a bow, instantly piercing into the countless skeleton guards!

On the black sand, various skills, auras, and battle cries resounded.

The team that fought the most fiercely!

Relying on the ghost ship leading the way and the sixty dragon-blooded warriors behind him, he fiercely carved a path through the sea of ​​monsters.

"Focus fire!" With each command from Wu Zhan, all sixty men attacked simultaneously, their skill beams converging into a torrent that blasted swathes of skeleton guards into fragments. Black bone shards scattered, and dark red soul fire drifted from the shattered bones, like tiny lamps floating above the sand.

The team that devoured the sun presented a completely different picture.

More than a hundred Demon Bear Clan players formed a wedge formation, with Devourer of the Sun personally leading the charge. With a slap of a bear's paw, the head of a skeletal guard flew off; with a shove of its shoulder, three guards were sent flying. The demon bears behind them roared and followed, like a series of out-of-control bulldozers, leaving only a pile of broken bones in their wake.

"Hahaha! That was exhilarating!" The Sun Devourer's laughter echoed across the battlefield.

Compared to those two, the others were much more steady and methodical, especially the Abe Bee team. Because of their air superiority, their advance was methodical and even somewhat elegant.

"Be sure to collect the soulfire dropped by monsters; that should be the offerings!"

"receive!"

"Speed ​​up! The monsters here are too weak. Split up, five people per team, and attack freely!"

"Ignore any dropped items; the logistics team will collect them all after the battle!"

……

Kal'tsit's mouth dropped open; she was completely stunned.

This was her first time participating in such a large-scale event of the Divine Dragon Guild. Seeing her teammates, whose levels were not as high as hers, all of them seemed to have cheat codes and were invincible, she was a little dumbfounded.

Who are these people? How can they be so fierce?

Liu Nian was already abnormal enough, but that ghost-like Wu Zhan, the giant demonic bear Devouring the Sun, Jiang Yi who could summon demons from hell, Wang Mu who was as hard as a city wall, and Wang Mian whose magical power was comparable to Yun Xiangrong... each of them would be a formidable figure who could stand alone in any other guild!

But it seems to be everywhere here!

Putting these people aside, even an ordinary member's combat potential is more exaggerated than that of her, a Sun Elf!

Even though the Sun Elves are considered a relatively strong race, compared to these people... they are utterly insignificant!

This scene is worlds apart from her actions before joining the Dawn Guild!

Little did Kal'tsit know that these people were already incredibly powerful, and with the added boost from their synergy effects, their stats were even more outrageous! Even with a level difference of more than 10 levels, dealing with these monsters was a piece of cake!

No wonder Liu Nian didn't want to join Dawn in the first place... there are just too many amazing people in that guild!

The battle lasted less than twenty minutes.

When the last skeleton guard fell, the black sand was covered with shattered bone fragments.

The group began to approach the altar one by one, placing the collected soul fire into it.

The first soul fire was thrown in by Wu Zhan. Dark red light spots fell from his palm and landed in the fingerprint-like pattern.

As the first Soul Flame fell, a faint red line lit up on the pattern.

The second one, its light spread outwards an inch along the lines.

The third one... the fourth one...

As everyone poured their soul fire into the altar, the flames grew brighter and brighter until finally, the entire altar erupted with a dazzling dark red light. A pillar of light shot into the sky, piercing the darkness above and tearing a massive gash in the boundless void. On the slopes surrounding the altar, all the runes lit up, their light flowing like blood from top to bottom, seeping into the black sand.

"The first altar has been lit!" Yun Xiangrong said.

Liu Nian stood at the top of the altar, looking at the pillar of light that shot straight into the darkness, then turned and pointed to four other directions in the distance.

"Split your forces. Light up all four altars simultaneously."

After this battle, Liu Nian felt that the monsters were not very strong, so he divided the ten teams into four groups and sent them off in four different directions to speed up the process.

The ten teams were reorganized into four main forces, led by Wu Zhan, Shi Ri, Yun Xiangrong, and Wang Mian respectively, and set off towards the remaining four altars. Liu Nian followed behind Yun Xiangrong's team. Most of the people here were Abe Bees and vassals of Blue Star humans, whose combat strength was slightly weaker than the other teams. He followed along just in case, to provide backup.

Reports from each team kept coming through the channel.

The martial arts team was the first to arrive at the second altar. The monsters here were different; they resembled bats and gargoyles, around level 130, and had the ability to fly at low altitudes.

However, all members of the Dragonborn can transform and are not afraid of aerial combat.

The Sun-Eater's forces encountered sand scorpions, a dense, endless swarm. The Sun-Eater simply took out the Heart of Elune, causing the demonic bears to grow larger and begin their rampage...

The other two teams encountered different situations, but nothing unexpected happened.

About an hour and a half later, all the monsters were basically eliminated, and the players began to offer their soul fire in turn. Twenty minutes later, four dark red pillars of light shot into the sky from the four altars, piercing the darkness above their heads along with the previous pillars of light. They converged, collided, and merged in the center of the dome, forming a huge array of blood-red runes that covered the entire sky.
