Okamoto Takeo decided to make his move!

Okamoto Takeo sighed.

He recalled back when he was still in the Reincarnation, participating in the survival trial of the Calamity Ancient God.

"Representing the great Sakura nation, being able to rank among the top eight hundred in the entire civilization challenge is already a point of pride for the Blue Star Civilization."

"It's a pity that now I'm about to fall out of the top 1000…"

Okamoto Takeo was troubled.

Because of this, he hadn't gone out recently to kill monsters and level up, precisely because his combat power was in a precarious state.

At any moment, it could be affected by the weakening of the Reincarnation Buff from the Calamity Ancient God, thereby impacting his combat power.

If he suddenly became weaker during battle, that would absolutely be fatal.

In fact, some in the Blue Star Civilization advised him that regardless of his ranking or whether the buff would weaken, he should take advantage of his current strength to go out and kill more monsters.

But Okamoto Takeo was too cowardly!

Having been in the Order Land for over a hundred years, he was actually not satisfied with his performance during the Reincarnation period.

Yet even though he was dissatisfied, he didn't have the courage to go back and restart the Reincarnation, because the reason he could come to this Order Land was that during that Reincarnation, he betrayed his wife…

If not for that, he would never have been able to participate in the Calamity Ancient God's survival challenge, let alone achieve a ranking in it.

If he went back to restart, he might not even be able to reach the Order Land.

"At least coming to the Order Land ensures I can keep living…"

"If I'm lucky, I might even have the chance to visit other Sublimation Civilizations and find some women to have fun with…"

Okamoto Takeo sighed again.

When he first came to the Order Land, he was full of ambition, believing himself to be one in ten thousand, a savior-level figure for the Blue Star Civilization.

Only after arriving did he discover that his Talent and profession were actually among the lowest tier in the Order Land!

Now in the Blue Star Civilization's chat channels, he only had a bit of say because of his seniority, since having been here longer, his level and combat power were certainly higher than newcomers.

However… in the Order Land, the higher the level, the harder it becomes to continue growing stronger!

Thus, Okamoto Takeo was fine when he first arrived, but his development over the past few decades had become increasingly difficult…

And recently, what made Okamoto Takeo most uncomfortable was that his only bragging right, the 'Reincarnation Buff', was about to be pushed out of the top thousand!

"However, I've been turtling for over three months since falling below 1000th place, and there's been no movement yet…"

"Coincidentally, the Thousand Eyes Temple has a group activity to hunt down an Immortal-grade BOSS. I can take this opportunity to participate and get more lifespan and rewards."

Okamoto Takeo loved this kind of group activity the most—because he could muddle through and there was basically not much danger.

After all, he was just a damage-dealing profession; in BOSS battles, he only needed to focus on dealing damage.

"This BOSS hunt requires a movement speed of over twenty-four times the normal speed of sound. I just meet the requirement. I'll take this chance to make one last haul!"

Okamoto Takeo finally made his decision!

In fact, the sign-up for this Thousand Eyes Temple activity had been open for two days.

He had considered it for a full two days before finally deciding to go for it!

And now, it was already the deadline for sign-ups, and the BOSS hunt was about to begin!

…

Just as Okamoto Takeo made his decision to go participate in the Thousand Eyes Temple's BOSS hunt…

He had no idea that at this moment, Qin Feng was in the middle of the Calamity Ancient God's survival challenge!

In a place full of craters, like the surface of the moon.

As soon as Qin Feng's challenge began, he heard the system prompt—the surrounding environment would have no 'air'!

Under this special suppression…

Whether human or other races, they were basically removed from conventional living conditions!

"According to the God Forsaken Game's settings, without air… players' attribute values will gradually be suppressed."

"Theoretically, if unable to breathe air for a long time, the body's metabolic functions won't operate normally, leading to reduced attributes. That makes sense."

"However, my attribute values are high enough. If it's just no air, I can survive for three to five days without any problem!"

After all, Qin Feng's constitution attribute at this moment was as high as 35,000—survival ability at this level was three to four thousand times that of an ordinary person!

What kind of level 40 player had attributes like this?

An ordinary level 40 player would be impressive to have a constitution of two or three thousand!

Just in this extreme environment, Qin Feng saw various elemental lights flashing alternately around him!

Suddenly, a thunderous roar sounded.

A bolt of lightning fell from the sky, arriving in an instant. At that moment, the sky blazed brightly, as if the entire sky had been split in two by this lightning!

The thunderous display was immense, spreading across dozens of kilometers. The originally grayish environment was instantly illuminated as bright as day.

Qin Feng, standing in place, was like a blade of grass on the ground.

The lightning fell, seemingly about to strike him dead on the spot…

But at that moment, the 'Utos's Nine-Faced Helmet' on Qin Feng's head emitted a faint purple light, enveloping his entire body, making him completely immune to lightning attribute damage!

-0 (Immune)!

The effect from the Nine-Faced Helmet directly immunized him against this lightning elemental damage.

Qin Feng stood on the ground, unmoving!

Immediately after, in less than 0.1 seconds, the ground beneath his feet loosened.

With a roar, fire erupted from the earth's core!

A crimson pillar of fire burst from beneath his feet, shooting upward and enveloping his entire body, instantly burning him into a man of fire!

However…

Qin Feng reacted extremely quickly, instantly switching the Nine-Faced Helmet's elemental immunity to 'Fire Element immunity'.

-0 (Immune)!

Then, more and more grand calamity attacks came from all directions.

Wind, rain, thunder, lightning!

Earth fire, sea tides!

These calamity elemental attacks were much stronger than during the previous qualification trial!

But Qin Feng reacted swiftly.

Relying on controlling the Nine-Faced Helmet's elemental immunity effects, he stood firm and unmoving!

—

-0 (Immune)!

-0 (Immune)!

-0 (Immune)!

…

—

One elemental attack after another landed on Qin Feng, even enveloping and surrounding him entirely!

However, facing these attacks, Qin Feng didn't even Evade once, to conserve energy.

Without air, the less one consumes, the longer one can obviously last…

This situation directly surprised the nine Calamity Spirits observing from the distant sky.

The cute Storm Elf was very excited: "Wow! I just suspected that helmet on his head was the Nine-Faced Helmet forged by Lord Utos. Now it seems it really is! Amazing! Amazing!"

The Death Poison Elf, changing from its previous mockery, became very astonished: "How is this possible? The Nine-Faced Helmet, forged by Lord Utos himself, only the most outstanding challengers could possibly obtain it… Incredible, incredible!"

The Frost Elf said calmly: "Since he has the Nine-Faced Helmet, getting through the first half hour safely will be easy. Boring, boring…"

The Blood Elf was elegant and composed: "This half hour is just an appetizer. After half an hour, the calamity's attack frequency will increase, and elemental spirits monsters will swarm. That's when the real challenge begins. Waiting, waiting!"

The Secret Water Spirit, who had been yawning, still seemed somewhat lacking in spirit: "Hmm… what's the current record for the thousandth place, how long did they survive? Drowsy, drowsy…"
