Chapter 325: The Battle for the Remaining Life
Chapter 325: The Battle to Regain Life
2028 11 Month 10 Day.
Yuwang City.
Due to the huge threat outside the Dark Forest, Wuhe ordered all legions to suspend their exploration and investigation activities. Faced with a powerful force with legendary creatures, he wisely chose to temporarily avoid the limelight.
In the center of the city, a simple double field covering an area of 300 meters kept shrinking and gradually turned into an alchemy workshop about the size of a normal boiler.
The five-colored flames burned fiercely, and the extreme high temperature made the inside extremely hot. After a night of continuous refining, the two tusks of the White Elephant King melted into white jade molten iron.
Jiang He used the Mobius Time Ring to refresh himself, filling the silver energy that was in the [Curse of Earth] state.
He poured Unforgettable Blood Poison into a portion of molten white jade iron. The bright red color gradually mixed with the white jade color and coordinated with each other, eventually interweaving into beautiful red and white patterns. Then he placed Zhuang Ya's main weapon, the rare heavy sword, into it. The extremely high temperature caused the sword to melt quickly and merge with the red and white molten iron.
Gusts of scorching wind were howling in Yuwang City. Lilith was supervising the alchemy workshop with her hands behind her back, giving instructions from time to time.
"The most basic and key point of the weapons branch of alchemy is how to preserve the extraordinary factors in the materials. This is the key factor that distinguishes weapon alchemy from simple destruction."
"And if you want to improve the quality of weapons, you have to let the extraordinary factors aggregate, sublimate and transform. For most alchemists, this is a subject worth studying for a lifetime."
"But you are different. You are gluttonous."
"Gluttony has the power of rules that force extraordinary gathering and sublimation. Because of this, Gluttony at the same level can obtain the strongest skills, the most complete combat system, the best equipment, and the most outstanding characteristics of the times."
Jiang He carefully controlled the flames and asked, "So arrogant?"
Lilith smiled and said, "You are talking about the Ghost King. She has no bottleneck at all before the sixth-level god. Even if she does not belong to the battlefield camp, she can grow into a legend in at least 10 to 20 years. She is so arrogant that she ignores all constraints. This is roughly the power of an arrogant juvenile. Normally, a legend should be measured in a hundred years."
"Juvenile body?"
"You can only be considered a newborn, both in terms of gluttony power and the life span of the sun elves."
After a while, the red and white molten iron began to boil.
Lilith reminded him, "Swallow the molten iron. The process will be a little painful, but it won't be a big deal for you. Use the ability of Lord Gluttony to fuse the ivory and blood poison. I controlled your body in the Ashes World before, so just follow my example."
Jiang He cancelled the double simple domain, the surging hot wind made the surrounding ground crystallize, the molten iron burned through the throat and fell into the stomach, immediately causing serious damage from the inside, but failed to shake the foundation of the Overlord's body.
"call……"
Swallowing molten iron brought terrible pain, and veins popped out on Jiang He's forehead. He glanced at Lilith angrily, but quickly dismissed the emotion. After all, this behavior was his own choice, and he could not blame others for the result, and it was meaningless.
Ultimate self-healing, Black of Black repaired the damage. Jiang He barely managed to keep his mind calm. He activated the ability of Lord Gluttony to fuse the ivory and blood poison. The materials were only the surface, and the extraordinary factors were the inner essence. However, when he tried to integrate the fire and thunder, the stability of the alchemy was severely shaken.
"Greed is really your true nature." Lilith smiled helplessly: "Your status should have been silver, but because of your status as a god-favored one, it is currently gold. Its internal influence is equivalent to your status, but externally it is one level lower. In short, the quality limit of this weapon can only be perfection."
Half a minute later, stability was restored.
Lilith suddenly said: "Use the solidification technology to cool down the fused extraordinary factor."
Jiang He nodded, and the molten red and white iron in his body stopped boiling. He opened his mouth and spit it out. After demolding and low-temperature cooling, he finally created a heavy sword.
[Name: Elephant Poison Sword]
[Category: Weapons]
[Quality: Perfect]
[Effect ①: Extremely strong]
[Effect 2: Vicious Poison - The sword contains a supreme level of poison]
[Effect ③: Elephant King——The user's power increases by 50%]
[Note: A crude alchemical creation]
Jiang He followed the same method and forged a white jade shield through the second alchemy. The materials were taken from molten white jade iron and excellent-grade Watcher's Shield, and the structure imitated the Overlord's Armor.
[Name: Watcher's Shield]
[Category: Armor]
[Quality: Perfect]
[Effect ①: Ultimate Solidity]
[Effect ②: Extremely effective shock absorption/anti-cutting]
[Effect 50: Elephant King - Increases the user's power by %]
[Effect ③: Unmovable - Defense increases by 50% when standing still]
[Note: A crude alchemical creation]
Jiang He handed the sword and shield to Zhuang Ya and Lao Hei respectively. At the same time, a prompt sound rang in his ears.
[Tip: Due to the consumption of gluttony factor, the ability of Gluttony Lord will be on cooldown for three natural days]
[Hint: You have figured out the swallowing and refining method and have been promoted to Alchemy Master]
Jiang He browsed the detailed tips. The consumption of gluttony factor was expected. This price would not reduce the upper limit. He just needed to rest for a while. As for the swallowing and refining method, Lilith made the greatest contribution. Whether it was the use of abilities or the solidification technology, they were all the results of her hands-on teaching.
"Old Black, come here for a blood transplant."
"okay."
In the center tower, Lao Hei left get out of class early with a look of joy.
Jiang He called Lao Hei to a stone house. Knowing the other party's temperament, he killed the Huo Dou after he came back. This would cause his bloodline to lose some activity, but because of the mismatch in true form, it was impossible to inherit all of it, so killing it would not affect the final result.
The blood transplant operation begins.
The true form of a three-headed demon wolf emerged. After awakening the Silver Will Guardian, Lao Hei was already qualified to shape his true form at the bronze stage.
On the properly treated corpse of the Huo-Tou, strands of blood floated in the air and moved towards the true form of the Demon Wolf. The blood had a crystal clear texture, with orange-yellow spots rising and falling in the depths. The Huo-Tou feeds on fire and is born with the power to control flames.
As the blood transplant progressed, Lao Hei's body grew larger again, soon exceeding three meters. Flames ignited on his body, and an advanced level of flame control skill was born.
Due to the low basic value, the improvement in this aspect is relatively obvious, and the free attributes are improved a little bit in all aspects, but at the same time, drops of blood evaporate and disappear, and about 30% of the pure blood of the King of Huo is wasted.
After the transplant was completed, Lao Hei opened his mouth and spit out an orange-yellow flame more than ten meters long.
"You probably can't bear the blood poison fire and the burning fire, so just eat the withering fire first." A gray fireball appeared in Jiang He's palm.
Lao Hei swallowed it tentatively. The process was a little slow and he felt extremely full. Even though the Huo Dou could swallow fire, there was a limit to it in a short period of time, and it could not eat its own flames.
"Xiao He, it tastes good, a little salty."
Jiang He was stunned for a moment, raised his hand and ate a gray fireball, savored it for a moment and said: "I can't taste it, this is probably the unique characteristic of Huodou."
He couldn't fill his stomach with fire, but after a whole night, the Ludao turtles had been processed by the evil soldiers, and the Dawn chef team was ready. Spices and various condiments alone filled half of the room, and the turtle meat was literally piled up like a mountain.
The ruins of the alchemy workshop in the Cancelled Domain became a "grill". A team of two thousand chefs worked overtime just to deliver food to the Grand Lord. The shells of the Ludao turtles were also very useful. After being destroyed by the Changhen Dragon Spear, the fragments could be used to reinforce the city walls.
……
Seven days later.
Current time: December 2028, 11.
From the time when Lord Gluttony's abilities were restored until now, Jiang He has been sleepless and always in a state of eating.
Two days ago, he ate up half an island's worth of flesh and blood, and the gluttony bar filled up hundreds of times. The original rare-level skill, Extraordinary Burst, was upgraded to a perfect level, and slight changes occurred.
He had basically never used this skill before, because the skill's rank was too low. Rare corresponds to high-level bronze, and cannot cause the described percentage blessing to silver creatures. Fortunately, the level has been raised.
[Perfect Passive·Extraordinary Burst LV3: Provides a 103% effect increase for any single ability, requiring a large amount of physical strength (can be strengthened by swallowing the blood of higher creatures)]
Extraordinary burst is a panacea that can be applied to every aspect of the combat system.
Now that the other half of the Ludao Turtle's flesh and blood has been devoured, Jiang He has suspended the supply of extraordinary bursts, and instead focused on the Ludao Turtle's own characteristics. After integrating it with the skill Dragon Scale, he has created a new ability.
[Name: Dragon Turtle Sword and Shield]
[Category: Passive]
[Quality: Perfect]
[Effect: Ultimate Solidity]
[Note: A rough and useful passive ability]
Jiang He exerted a little force, and suddenly a layer of platinum scales appeared all over his body, shining with the luster of steel. Special bones like daggers emerged from his collarbone, guarding his relatively fragile neck. When the Overlord Armor covered his body from the outside, he completely turned into an iron box of normal size.
At this point, the "shortcomings" in burst and defense after the return have been made up to a certain extent.
Jiang He was quite sure this time that he should have completely reached the level of Silver Powers. After all, the Gluttony Lord's previous physical condition focused on potential rather than direct strengthening, which had some shortcomings.
"Before the world mission was launched, the derivative mission had been on cooldown for seven days, and the cooldown ended today."
"There are still seven days until the next world mission."
Jiang He didn't intend to miss the derivative mission. His player level was seriously lagging behind his strength. Normally, LV25 was the dividing line between silver and bronze, and LV50 was the dividing line between gold and silver. He was now LV12 and urgently needed experience points.
……
Derivative tasks are started.
A familiar cutscene comes into view.
The foggy city is shrouded in night, with mist lingering on the river. The twin towers on the side of the bridge rise into the sky, but are shrouded in thick fog that lingers all year round. The faint light of oil lamps shines through the window lattices of the ancient buildings on the shore, adding a touch of eerie yellow to the foggy night.
The war had just ended and the smoke had not yet dissipated. An abyss appeared at the edge of the foggy city, and thousands of demons crawled out. They blended into the crowd, created riots, promoted wars, signed contracts with local creatures, and reaped lives by granting them power.
The power of the knight has become a thing of the past, the glory is gone, the demons are invading in large numbers, the children of destiny are born one by one to fight to the death with them, and finally the world consciousness falls, and three special teams descend into this world. The leader opens the coordinates and summons more of their kind to set foot on this land.
[1920 AD, Demon Invasion]
[Seven children of destiny died one after another, and the consciousness of the world of remnant life was exhausted and fell, transformed into the core of the world and left in the mortal world. The three battlefields of the end, dusk, and all living things launched an invasion, attempting to seize the dominance of the world of remnant life]
[Hint: After the fall of consciousness, the residual world is transformed into a semi-derivative and semi-real world]
[Hint: The core of the world can be reincarnated in any object. Once destroyed, the world will enter an irreversible end.]
[Hint: Seizing the core of the world and rekindling the fire of coordinates can revive the world's consciousness]
[Hint: Demons - advanced creatures of the Abyss. This invasion was initiated by the Golden Rank Demon Lord Bart. He himself is temporarily unable to pass through the Abyss rift. The demons hope to find and destroy the core of the world, completely crush the last resistance of the Remnant World, and usher in the arrival of the Demon Lord Bart.]
[Hint: Demon Moses - the top great demon, the only offspring of the demon lord and a capable general, has infiltrated human society and holds a high position. After the core of the world is broken, the last power of the world will be disintegrated. At that time, demons like Moses will tear off their disguises and trigger the end of the world.]
[Hint: Devil Contractor - A person who abandons the glory of a knight and contracts with the devil for power. Because of its speed and power, it has been widely recognized by the old knights, and the number of people with this ability has exploded.]
[Hint: The last child of destiny, Tommy - then a member of the House of Commons and a billionaire]
[Hint: The three battlefields of End, Dusk, and All Living Beings are super-giant borders that have never been interrupted. They were approved by the Origin battlefield branch X epochs ago. There is an upper limit to the life level of players, and the number of players is large, so the competition is fierce.]
[Reminder: Since the world of Remnant Life belongs to the battlefield of Origin, after the world consciousness fell, the Pillar of Eternal Marrow notarized that Origin lost the right to teleport to this world.]
[Mission Name: Regaining the Remaining Life (Level 2)]
[Task type: Four-person team copy]
[Mission content: Protect the last child of destiny and revive world consciousness]
[Task Reward: ① 2000 game coins and experience points ② Perfect level directional skill scroll * 1]
[Task time limit: fourteen natural days]
[Note: This mission opens the permission module. Killing a hostile battlefield player will reward 1 to 10 points of merit. The redemption will start after the mission is completed.]
[Note: Players from all four camps are not allowed to leave the Fog City during this mission. Violators will be executed by the Pillar of Eternal Marrow]
[Note: When the World Core reignites the fire of coordinates, the specific location of the live event will be announced to all players]
Jiang He seemed to be thinking about something. It seemed like there were four parties, but in fact there were only three parties. The demon camp hoped to destroy the core of the world, the three major battlefields hoped to take away the core of the world, and the Origin wanted to take it back.
No matter whether it is the origin or the three major battlefields, as long as one side takes action, the other side is likely to cooperate with the demon camp.
