Chapter 474 - 469: The Fourth Divine Fragment
It’s a success!
Lin You was ecstatic, he actually succeeded in killing a Tier Ten Demon, and it was a Leader Level one.
In his excitement, he immediately rushed rapidly towards the Thunder Wolf King.
However.
Just after taking a few steps, he sensed something was wrong, and his expression suddenly changed.
Kill notification.
The kill notification didn’t appear!
"Not good! Fall back quickly!"
Realizing the situation, Lin You immediately shouted in alarm and reflexively backed off swiftly.
"Roar!!"
At that moment, an earth-shattering roar resounded.
The turbulent lightning in the sky crazily converged into the Thunder Wolf King’s body. With a boom, the massive body exploded into countless electric rays.
Lin You didn’t even have time to evade before feeling a sting in his chest, as a bolt of surging energy lightning pierced through, causing his pupils to instantly dilate.
The surrounding plant species were further shattered by the exploding electric rays, collapsing in heaps.
Lin You couldn’t have imagined.
That the Thunder Wolf King would counterattack so fiercely at the last moment, and with such a terrifying attack.
Just as he was about to fall to the ground.
The death-preventing effect on the Frost Spirit Bracelet triggered, quickly dimming to take this fatal strike for him.
Bang!
Lin You held the ground with both hands, sweating on his forehead, and gasping heavily.
Even though it was just a moment, he truly felt the sensation of death, as if all his strength had been drained away.
And at this moment, a notification finally sounded.
[Congratulations, you have successfully killed a Tier Ten Demon Leader, gaining 10 million Magic Energy, Rule Fragment x1]
Finally dead...
Lin You exhaled a long breath, looking back at where the Thunder Wolf King’s corpse exploded and the devastated earth all around.
Ultimately, his gaze was drawn to a piece of Seven-Colored Crystal floating in the middle of the explosion.
Beside it was a square jade stone and a familiar orb, all shining brilliantly under the light.
The Leader Demon actually dropped so many items?
Lin You was greatly surprised.
With the last bit of his strength, he struggled to stand and walked towards the corpse, finally seeing the jade stone clearly.
It turned out to be a jade seal engraved with the Thunder Wolf King’s pattern.
[National Treasure: Thunder Fury]
[Artifact Level: F-level]
[Territory Effect: Converts Power of Rule to Thunder Attribute, increases Thunder Attack by 2%, with a chance to paralyze enemies.]
[National Effect: Increases resource regeneration speed by 2%]
[Introduction: A national treasure, usable by the governing nation to gain extra bonuses, and only one can be effective at a time.]
...
National Treasure?
Looking at the interface in front of him, Lin You was puzzled.
This was his first time seeing such a thing.
According to the introduction, it is something that can only be used after establishing a nation, somewhat similar to a Territorial Sacred Artifact.
Could it be.
That after ascending to Tier Ten, Territorial Sacred Artifacts would be replaced by this item?
If that’s indeed the case, other things might undergo huge changes, causing him to be somewhat excited with anticipation.
However, this National Treasure in front of him is merely the lowest F-level, and its effects don’t seem particularly strong.
So he just studied it briefly, then temporarily stored it in his personal space, and turned his attention to the gray orb.
[Faith Treasure Pearl (Top-level): Upon use, grants 5000 points of Power of Faith.]
Top-level Faith Treasure Pearl!
Lin You was startled by the information in front of him.
A full 5000 points of faith, something he didn’t know how long it would take to earn, and now it exploded out just like that.
It just so happened that he was a few thousand points short of reaching the requirement to condense a Divine Fragment, and the appearance of this top-level pearl was truly timely.
Otherwise, he’d have to wait a month or two, or go and kill a few Tier Nine Lords.
Pleased, he stored away the items and then looked at the last item, the Seven-Colored crystal.
Taking a deep breath, he gently took it in his hand.
[Rule Fragment (Exclusive): A fragment condensed from Power of Rule, can absorb its power to enhance the Divine Format, and boost Lord Attributes.]
It’s indeed a Rule Fragment!
Lin You was unexpectedly excited, his hands holding the Rule Fragment couldn’t stop trembling.
He had prepared so much and expended so many resources for this very thing.
With this, he could complete the Saint’s Path and condense the fourth Divine Fragment, his excitement was naturally beyond words.
However, soon he was drawn to the description on it.
Can enhance the Divine Format, improve Lord Attributes?
What does that mean?
Could he indeed absorb this thing directly to enhance his own strength?
Lin You was full of questions but dared not to easily experiment with the Rule Fragment.
If it were accidentally absorbed, he’d really have nowhere to cry.
"Forget it, I’ll go back and decide later."
Seeing the surrounding clouds gradually dissipate, Lin You didn’t dare to stay long, hastily packing up his belongings and clearing the scene, then immediately rode the Demon Ancestor Dragon to fly away from there.
Just now, their battle took several minutes.
And the sounds of the battle were extremely intense.
Especially the Thunder Wolf King’s Divine Fury and final self-destruction, were so earth-shattering that it probably would attract Tier Ten Lords.
Moreover, he was seriously injured, so it was better to leave quickly.
It’s a pity the Thunder Wolf King’s corpse was completely obliterated, leaving nothing behind, a waste of materials for equipment crafting.
In the midst of a fierce gust, Lin You quickly left the battlefield far behind, flying towards the highland outskirts.
Not long after he left.
Several Tier Ten Lords tore through space, appearing above the spot where he stood.
"Dead?"
One of them said in surprise.
"I just arrived from the camp within minutes, seems someone was faster than us."
"What a pity, no idea who killed it."
"Let’s check the other ones then."
With that, they vanished from sight, not paying much attention to the battle traces below.
Meanwhile.
Lin You had already left the highland depths and reached the outskirts.
After flying rapidly for over half an hour, he finally returned to the war camp, landing outside the Primordial Realm’s station.
"Lin You? How did you get hurt like this?"
Unexpectedly.
Just as he dismounted from the Demon Ancestor Dragon, Ji Yunshuang, in a holy white robe, walked out from the station.
"It’s you, what a coincidence."
Lin You put away the Demon Ancestor Dragon, looking surprised at Ji Yunshuang who approached.
"You seem badly hurt, did you encounter those old monsters?" Ji Yunshuang asked concernedly upon reaching Lin You.
At this moment, Lin You looked very disheveled, even his clothes were torn in multiple places, revealing his sturdy muscles, making Ji Yunshuang’s cheeks slightly flush.
"Uh... almost." Lin You smiled awkwardly, "Met a formidable guy."
He didn’t reveal the truth, since the rule fragments were a major issue, better not let too many people know.
Especially the Seven Evils King of the Supreme Mysterious Realm.
If that guy learned that he had independently killed a Tier Ten Demon, he might not let him easily condense a divine format to ascend to Tier Ten.
After all, no one would ignore a potential threat.
"By the way."
Lin You shifted the topic.
"You often wait at the King’s side, you should be knowledgeable about Tier Ten matters, right?"
"Tier Ten?" Ji Yunshuang paused, "I haven’t really understood much about it, since Tier Ten seemed far away from me before."
"However, I’ve heard that due to power converting into rule power after Tier Ten, many low-tier things can’t exert their original effect, nor can they augment with rule power."
"If you want to know more, I can ask my father."
Ji Yunshuang didn’t think much about Lin You suddenly asking about Tier Ten matters and directly shared what she knew.
She even offered to ask her father Ji Xinghe for Lin You.
"This... better not, let’s not trouble the King for now."
Lin You thought for a moment and declined Ji Yunshuang’s proposal.
Considering the King had just saved him today, bothering him again now wouldn’t be good.
He wouldn’t have to wait long to ascend to Tier Ten, he could study it himself then.
After chatting with Ji Yunshuang for a while, he said goodbye and went to the station to rest, then rushed to the cross-border teleportation array to return to his territory.
The first thing upon returning to his territory was to come under the World Tree and take out the just-acquired Faith Treasure Pearl, directly using it.
Swoosh!
A flash of light.
The Power of Faith finally successfully broke through 250,000.
[Territory has reached upgrade condition for Tier Ten, would you like to upgrade?]
Hearing the prompt in his mind, Lin You couldn’t help but feel dazed.
If he chooses yes, he could directly ascend to Tier Ten now, achieving this level many Lords aspire to reach.
But he suppressed this impulse and opened the Saint’s Path task interface.
[Saint’s Path task has reached completion condition, would you like to start condensing the divine format?]
Another prompt echoed in his mind.
The faith needed to condense a divine format is separate from the faith needed to upgrade the territory.
Adding up is exactly ten times that of Tier Nine, 500,000 faith.
Meaning.
Once he uses these 250,000 faith to condense the divine fragment, he’d have to collect another 250,000 faith to ascend to Tier Ten.
Yet even so.
Lin You didn’t hesitate and chose "yes".
The next second.
A vast force quickly gathered within his territory, converging into the rule fragment.
The originally static rule fragment changed due to this power, starting to emit a halo of seven colors, shifting its irregular form.
Eventually, it transformed into a dazzling divine fragment, slowly merging into Lin You’s body, thoroughly integrating with the three fragments already inside.
[Fusion successful, divine fragment attribute changed, please check personally.]
Accompanied by a prompt.
Lin You felt a surge of power pouring into his body, as if his entire being was elevated.
