It was only after the system announced his victory after a chain of messages that Xie Feng finally relaxed. He stood on the frozen ice platform that stretched five kilometers across while a complicated look flashed in his eyes.
To be completely honest, Xie Feng knew that his victory in this battle against Hai Lun had many factors that were in his favor; the most important factor was that the third prince of the marine race Hai Lun was a melee combatant. While Hai Lun had an attack capable of going approximately one hundred meters of distance and affecting all targets along the way, all of his other attacks did not have the ability to attack from far away.
With Xie Feng"s movement speed reaching over 230 points and his close combat experience, his probabilities of victory had skyrocketed a horrendously high amount. With such a movement speed that was almost twice that of Hai Lun, Xie Feng was confident in dodging enemy attacks as long as he made good use of his cerebral abilities.
As long as Xie Feng concentrated 100% on the battle, with his high processing speed, a.n.a.lysis of the battlefield and the enemy, as well as his terrifying reflexes, he was confident in dodging Hai Lun"s attacks thanks to his high movement speed. It was precisely for this reason that he did not activate Green Flame after seeing the type of enemy he had to face.
If any enemy with the ability to affect a wide area with its attacks had appeared before Xie Feng, then he would have been forced to activate Green Flame.
From a certain point of view, the Thousand Ice Cocatrix was a more terrifying enemy than Hai Lun. After all, although Hai Lun could cause five hundred thousand or even a million damage with his attacks, Xie Feng only had a little over eleven thousand health; against him, attacks that covered a wide area were enough to cause him countless problems.
The most terrifying thing about Hai Lun was his high health. With twenty million health points, even if an army of several million players attacked him at the same time, at the current stage of the game it was impossible to defeat a Heaven grade boss with such an absurd amount of health.
"There is no need to hide my name." Xie Feng said proudly.
Did he not have the right to be proud of his achievement? If defeating and killing a level 40 Heaven grade boss while he was at level 26 wasn"t a feat to be proud of, then what was?

[Ding!... Worldwide Announcement!]
[Ding!... Worldwide Announcement!]
[Ding!... Worldwide Announcement!]
...
The whole world seemed to stand still for a moment. No matter the battle zone or region; all the players looked up into the sky with wide eyes. None of them could believe what they had just heard.
What was a Heaven grade boss? It was an invincible existence in the early and middle stages of the game! Even in the late stages of the game, Heaven-grade bosses were the absolute pinnacle that players aspired to defeat!
Only when players reached level 70+ with high quality equipment and totaling no less than a million of them, could they barely stand a chance of defeating a level 50 Heaven-grade boss.
After all, players could only have a chance to cause millions of points of damage by stacking many at the same time. But even then, one hit from a Heaven-grade boss was enough to empty a patch of land, killing thousands of players with each of its attacks.
Yet, just now, they had just heard that a player managed to defeat a Heaven-grade boss? A lone player near the end of the initial stage of the game managed to do such a thing?
The whole world erupted in chaos.
The Chinese server Shiva"s name, which was already surrounded by mystery and an aura of power due to his previous achievements, became even more prominent in one step.
Even those powerful and arrogant figures frowned and had no choice but to start treating seriously this person who had appeared seemingly out of nowhere.
Of course, all this did not matter to Xie Feng. He was currently staring at the frozen ground with glittering eyes.
The effect of the Ice Apocalypse skill had already ended and the Pearl of Frozen Water had been drained of all its power. For the next few hours, he would not be able to use or rely on any of the pearl"s skills. Fortunately, the attached resistances and stats were still there, silently supporting him.
Although the effect of the Ice Apocalypse skill had pa.s.sed, the 5000 meters around that had frozen over was not something that could thaw in a matter of seconds and it would probably take a while before this part of the ocean returned to normal.
Standing with his back straight as a spear, Xie Feng looked at the drops of Hai Lun"s corpse.
There were only three glowing objects there. But Xie Feng was very clear that those three objects would undoubtedly be terrifying.
With a swift movement, he kept everything in his inventory for fear that something bad would happen. Then, he ran around like crazy, picking up equipment that had been dropped by the monsters killed during the Ice Apocalypse effect.
Due to s.p.a.ce constraints, Xie Feng only picked up silver and gold items, but even then there were several others that he had no choice but to leave lying around since he had no way to take them with him.
Rumble!
Suddenly the ocean began to rumble fiercely and the ice under his feet seemed about to break.
Xie Feng"s face changed completely and he quickly made Ling Long return to the pet s.p.a.ce, not wanting his beloved battle partner to die again from a surprise attack.
Then, without even thinking to look back, Xie Feng turned around and began to run at full speed towards the strange whirlpool of water in an attempt to get away from whatever was going to happen.
"You d.a.m.ned human! You murdered my prince and now you want to leave!!!? Leave your life behind!!!"
A thunderous roar filled with anger and pain shook Xie Feng"s tympani.
BOOM!
Hearing a loud bang behind him, Xie Feng couldn"t help but look over his shoulder. There, what he saw left him speechless.
Having lost the power of the Pearl of Frozen Water, the ice was no longer as terrifying as before so it could be broken; but it was still not something that could be done with complete ease.
However, standing about fifty meters away, there was a huge triton warrior that was over ten meters tall wielding a magic staff. In addition, there was a huge hole under its feet through which the ocean water had begun to seep fast.
[King of the East Sea Hai w.a.n.g: G.o.d Grade Boss -
[Level: ????
[HP: ????
[MP: ????
[Description: ????
[Skill(s): ????]
Xie Feng sucked in a breath of cold air and quickly started dashing for his life when he saw the name and grade of the creature behind him.
Even if his Soul Eyes couldn"t get any too concrete information, Xie Feng knew perfectly well that his only option was to run. In his mind, he was cursing all the heavens for being unfair to him.
Unfortunately, during his battle against Hai Lun, Xie Feng had moved more than a kilometer away from the strange whirlpool of water where the entrance to the Heaven of Samsara was located. Therefore, even with his current speed, it would take him a minute at the very least to get there.
"Do you want to leave!? Today, I will definitely peel your skin off!!!"
After a terrifying roar, King of the Eastern Sea Hai w.a.n.g waved his magic staff and in the blink of an eye appeared before Xie Feng blocking his path. Suddenly, the magic staff in the hands of Hai Lun"s father turned into a light blue trident with a strange crimson jewel and roared as he shot towards Xie Feng with the intention of destroying him completely.
Xie Feng"s hair stood on end and his sharp battle sense told him that even if he dodged that trident, he would still die.
"Wind Barrier!" Xie Feng shouted without delay.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
A split second later, a horrible explosion engulfed him.
The waves shook again and the ice broke into countless pieces as a sign of how heavy that attack had been.
Fortunately, Xie Feng"s defensive skill could block all damage for ten seconds, allowing him to survive imminent death.
"Let me see how long you can resist my attacks, you filthy human!" King of the Eastern Sea roared like a wounded beast as he fiercely attacked the wind barrier. His trident was like lightning, continuously flashing and causing the barrier to shudder.
Waves ten kilometers high rose one after another and every sea creature scrambled away from the place with all their might, knowing that only death awaited if they stayed there.
