Global Descent to Sky Islands: Getting a God-level Talent from the Start - Chapter 52

An eerie dark purple full moon hung high overhead.

The dark purple moon seemed to absorb most of the light, turning the entire camp into a shade of dark purple.

The Legendary Special Effect: Dark Moon Descent!

The trigger condition was to consecutively kill five enemies.

At this moment, Han Xing felt his hands being enveloped by a mysterious power.

He could clearly feel that his attack speed had increased.

Moreover, it wasn’t just Han Xing who received the enhancement. Coal, who was also in battle, experienced it too.

When the power of the dark moon appeared, Coal’s attack speed suddenly soared.

Although its strength was only in the tens, making the damage relatively weak, at this moment, Coal showed Han Xing what it meant to have an attack speed at the pinnacle of swiftness.

Black flashes continuously passed by, leaving a dense array of bl00d claw marks on the bodies of the Goblin Magician and Goblin Foreman, making it seem as if an invisible monster was constantly gnawing at their flesh.

In less than a dozen seconds, these two Goblins were covered in hundreds of bl00d scars, their bodies a bloody mess.

And just then, when the dark purple moon had been out for the 20th second.

Cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the dark purple moon.

Han Xing knew that the strongest strike of this legendary effect was about to arrive.

When the Dark Moon Descent state ends, the dark moon will automatically detonate, causing explosion damage of 300% of Dexterity to surrounding enemies!

Sure enough, in the next moment, the dark purple full moon suddenly exploded, and the terrifying power of the dark moon descended from the sky, beginning to unleash wantonly.

These two Goblins, already heavily injured by Coal, were struck as if hit by lightning.

Buzz!

The entire camp seemed to be swept by a fierce wind as the power of the dark moon began its wild rampage.

As the shockwave of the dark moon’s explosion dissipated, a system notification appeared.

[Successfully killed Goblin Warrior, Goblin Magician, Goblin Foreman…, Gained +1200 XP, Pet Coal Gained +960 XP.]

After reaching level 6, more XP are needed, but correspondingly, defeating level 6 monsters also grants more XP.

However, at this moment, Han Xing was still immersed in the powerful effects of that legendary ability.

He exclaimed: “Whoa, is this what a legendary-level effect is like? It’s so damn cool!”

It directly affects the environment, even summoning a moon during battle. It’s simply a show-off artifact!

In addition, the final strike of this effect also deals considerable damage and serves as AoE, making it a great skill for clearing the battlefield.

Han Xing was thrilled at heart.

After testing the effects of the Moon Crown Longbow, Han Xing prepared to merge this goblin camp into his own territory.

The sky island covers over 100 m², and it could increase his territory area by a tenth.

A system notification appeared.

[You Have Successfully Merged the Goblin Camp, Your Territory Area Has Expanded, You Obtained Territory Resources: ‘Fertile Soil x18’, ‘Basic Tent x7’, ‘Iron Pot x2’, ‘Iron Spoon x7’……]

Most of these territory resources are simple tools crafted by the goblins.

Among them, every few meters, there is an area emitting a foul odor.

Han Xing, looking disgusted, said: “Jeez, these goblins really have no hygiene, they relieve themselves anywhere!”

With great disdain, he isolated and disposed of these stinky areas along with the tools used by the goblins.

After dealing with this, Han Xing prepared to head to the next cloud for exploration.

At this moment, Han Xing suddenly noticed a large sky island approaching rapidly from afar.

He immediately focused, carefully observing this sky island of over 1000 m².

He noticed there were no clouds covering the sky island, indicating it wasn’t a monster’s territory.

If it wasn’t inhabited by monsters, then there’s only one possibility left, the sky island belongs to other survivors.

Moreover, it was clear that the other party’s target was heading toward him.

“It’s coming towards me?” Han Xing became alert.

Though everyone here descended from Blue Star and are fellow survivors, he knew he couldn’t let his guard down.

He didn’t want to survive the monsters only to be killed by his own kind.

Han Xing quickly had Coal hide under the sofa while he prepared for battle himself.

Currently, none of the sky islands have any defensive facilities, which means they are essentially wide open for others to see at a glance what is on your sky island.

Fortunately, Han Xing had placed some wooden boards beforehand to cover his Storage Boxes, making it difficult for others to discern anything.

Otherwise, at this stage, seeing a dozen large boxes in one’s territory would surely raise suspicion among the survivors.

A few seconds later.

The approaching party came straight towards him, and when the two sky islands were less than 30 meters apart, it suddenly stopped.

Han Xing saw a figure appear on the opposite side, standing at the edge of the territory and waving at him.

After a moment’s thought, Han Xing walked up to see what the other party was planning.

At this point, he could clearly see the other person’s face.

It was a young man dressed in half a set of Green-tier Light Armor, holding a Refined Iron Greatsword. He appeared to be in his early twenties.

Seeing Han Xing, the man seemed extremely excited.

He waved and shouted: “Hey, buddy! Look here, look here!”

Han Xing frowned slightly but waved back.

Upon getting Han Xing’s response, the man seemed very thrilled and exclaimed: “Great, finally seeing a living person!”

As he spoke, the young man once again steered his sky island closer.

At this moment, Han Xing suddenly spoke up, “Stop.”

The young man clearly sensed the coldness in Han Xing’s tone and was momentarily taken aback. Then, it was as if he understood something.

He smiled wryly and said: “Bro, I don’t mean any harm. I just haven’t seen anyone in days, so I’m a bit too excited. Please don’t misunderstand!”

Han Xing could vaguely feel that this man indeed had no ill intentions.

However, he remained on guard and nodded, asking: “Is there something you need?”

Seeing Han Xing’s attitude soften a little, the young man hurriedly replied: “Nothing in particular, bro. I just wanted to get to know you. If possible, maybe we could be friends and look out for each other in the future.”

At this point, the young man sighed, “To be honest, since coming to this world, constantly facing those monsters has nearly driven me to a mental breakdown…”

Han Xing shook his head, “No need. We’re all struggling to survive right now and can’t take care of others. The most urgent thing is to quickly improve our level and strength.”

“I need to go level up. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going.”

With that, Han Xing turned to leave.

The young man hurriedly said: “Hey, bro, don’t be in such a rush to leave!”

“My name is Bubble Fish, real name Chu Yu, a local from Xinyang City, Level 5 Warrior. I see you’re well-equipped, and your territory is quite large. How about forming a team?”

He finished speaking, looking at Han Xing with great hope.

At this point, Han Xing also understood his purpose.

It turned out that this person was eager to find other survivors to team up with after the regional protections were lifted.

The young man named Chu Yu continued: “Bro, rest assured. I have some confidence in my own abilities. If we team up, I definitely won’t hold you back!”

After pondering for a moment, Han Xing shook his head and said: “No, I don’t have any intention to form a team right now.”

He didn’t reveal his name, and the other party didn’t know he was the well-known Star River in Area 107.

Hearing Han Xing’s refusal, Chu Yu was somewhat confused and asked: “Brother, it’s hard to survive alone in this world…”

“Many people in the chat channel are sharing their coordinates to find others nearby to team up. But this world seems unimaginably large, and it’s hard for two people to come across each other. I think, maybe we could…”

He seemed eager to make another attempt.

However, Han Xing still shook his head and said: “No need.”

Chu Yu hesitated but, considering Han Xing’s attitude, sighed and said: “Alright then, I’ll go find someone else. You… take care of yourself.”

Han Xing nodded.

Chu Yu turned and controlled his Sky Island territory to slowly drift away. Before leaving, he said: “By the way, let me remind you, someone in the chat channel mentioned they found a 2-Star Secret Realm. The coordinates are not far from here. I came this way after seeing the message.”

“But that 2-Star Secret Realm requires 5 people to enter. Many people are heading there now, seeking to form a team. Your equipment seems pretty decent, so if you’re interested, you might want to check it out.”

Han Xing nodded and thanked him.

After Chu Yu left, Han Xing pondered: “A 2-Star Secret Realm?”

“The system announcement mentioned the highest difficulty level open now is the 2-Star Secret Realm. With the current strength of these survivors, it would be tough to conquer it.”

“I should focus on leveling up. At least get Coal to level 6 first.”

Thinking of this, Han Xing called Coal out from under the sofa.

He remembered that Coal’s skill panel still had two skills waiting to be unlocked.

One of them, the ‘Void Absorption’ skill, could be unlocked at level 6.

The other, ‘Void Frenzy’, required level 10 to unlock.

The first four skills of Coal had already shown Han Xing what true divine skills were like.

This Void Absorption surely wouldn’t be weak either!

Han Xing took a deep breath, once again filled with motivation to level up.

The territory continued to move forward at over 400 km/h.

Han Xing noticed that even with the territory reaching this size, it encountered no resistance while moving forward.

It seemed as if its speed was constant, unaffected by gravity. The speed would only decrease if it encountered some obstruction along the way.

This phenomenon was clearly unscientific.

But in such a magical world, who cares about science?

Just then, Coal suddenly flashed with a black light and immediately appeared at the edge of the territory.

Han Xing looked over in confusion.

A few kilometers ahead, there was a cloud with an area of only 12 m².

But unlike other clouds, this one had a black vortex on its surface.

“Cloud Secret Realm!”
