Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Refining the Jade Heart Lotus, Enhancement of Plunder Talent
"Amazing!" John exclaimed in his heart as he witnessed the scene before him. Isn't this the legendary art of bringing the dead back to life and restoring the flesh to bones?
"Tch!" A disdainful voice came from behind him. It was the Undead Lord. "What's so special about this? I can do it too. Kid, with my Undying and Immortal talent, you'll be able to do this later on as well."
"Really?" John became intrigued. The Undying and Immortal talent was indeed powerful. As long as his soul remained intact, he would essentially be immortal.
At this moment, the branch-like arm completely fused into Behemoth's body.
Behemoth flexed his arm, clenched his fist, moving it freely and easily. His face was filled with excitement.
"Thank you, my lord!" he expressed his gratitude again.
This arm, shaped from the branches of The Tree of Life and activated by the Vein of the Earth, was far stronger than his previous arm.
He even considered asking Tony to sever his other arm so he could have it reforged as well...
But that was just a fleeting thought. The Tree of Life was far too precious, and even if Tony agreed, John would never allow it.
After completing this, Tony turned to John and asked, "Kid, anything else? If not, we should return to the Abyss."
His Dark Element Affinity had already reached 99 points, and he felt as if he could break through at any moment, reaching 100 points and comprehending the power of the dark laws.
"No rush. I want to establish two more factions," John replied.
Gates City had also triggered a faction mission. Once it was upgraded to a level-five city, he would be able to establish a faction.
Moreover, he had promised to help Bonnie and Black Turtle establish their own factions.
For Bonnie's elves, he planned to establish their faction in Ritchie's Flame City, which could also help defend against the demon race invasion.
As for the Beast Clan faction, Black Turtle had chosen the previous Beast Clan Secret Area, but a city needed to be built first, so that matter wasn't urgent.
"Alright. I have some personal matters to attend to as well," Tony nodded, his gaze turning hostile as he looked at Black Turtle.
Black Turtle's heart skipped a beat. He knew this was inevitable. A fawning smile spread across his face, but before he could speak, a hand had already struck down.
"Ouch!" Black Turtle howled in pain, flying backward.
"You damn turtle! I entrusted the Beast Clan to you, and this is how you protect it? The Jade Heart Lotus went missing, the Beast Clan Secret Area was destroyed... Let me beat some sense into you!" Tony cursed, showing no mercy with his blows.
"Grandpa Tony, I know I was wrong!" Black Turtle quickly transformed into his original form, screaming in agony.
Everyone watched this scene with great interest.
Jade Heart Lotus?
John suddenly remembered the items that the woman in green had handed to him, one of which was a blue-green jade lotus that he hadn't had the chance to inspect yet.
His heart stirred, and he took out those items.
Sure enough, it was the Jade Heart Lotus.
[Jade Heart Lotus: A treasure of the Beast Clan, containing powerful spiritual properties. Can be refined.]
There was only a simple description, without revealing much information.
After refining it, the Fox Demon Curse could be completely lifted.
John wasn't in a hurry to refine it, though. He turned his attention to the other four items.
"Divine treasures of the gods!" he gasped, realizing that this was a complete set of divine artifacts.
[Divine Core, Divine Rune, Divine Weapon, Divine Soul: Treasures of the gods. Once cultivation reaches the 10th tier and all four items are fused, you can ascend to godhood. Requires Divinity to fuse. Currently ready for fusion.]Nôv(el)B\\jnn
John couldn't help but swallow hard as he read the information about the four items.
He had already plundered Divinity from the Two-Winged Angel and had accumulated 11 points, meaning he could fuse these divine treasures.
Once fused, as long as his level reached the 10th tier, he would be able to become a god. However, he didn't proceed with the fusion.
Fusing these items would allow other gods to sense him, and that was too dangerous.
Besides, the woman in green had warned him not to refine these items just yet but instead to search for the Immortal Bone, Immortal Body, Immortal Sword, and Spirit Sense.
John had never heard of these things before, but he suspected they were also priceless treasures, and that refining them would grant godlike power.
Currently, he already had three sets of treasures: one from the gods, one from the demon race, and one from the Beast Clan.
He could refine any of these to increase his level to the 10th tier, reaching a power equivalent to that of the gods.
However, he was far more curious about the Immortal Bone, Immortal Body, Immortal Sword, and Spirit Sense, wondering what kind of power they might offer.
He had already asked Tony and Ben about them, but they claimed to know nothing.
John was certain those two knew more than they were letting on but simply didn't want to tell
him.
He had a strong feeling that the woman in green was an existence far more terrifying than even the gods.
John switched to Sword Flight mode, and his Three-Foot Black Dragon Sword shot out, splitting into three blades that quickly pursued the fleeing angels, engaging in a vicious
attack. Slash!
Blood sprayed, and the numbers for true damage flashed across the air.
-27,460
-27,551
...
John's current stats still couldn't break through the physical resistance of legendary seventh-
tier beings with normal attacks.
But his greatest strength now wasn't his physical prowess-it was his dark magic.
Buzz!
A powerful dark energy engulfed the area, and John cast Dark Descent, covering a radius of
several dozen miles.
The two Two-Winged Angels were caught within the field, their attributes weakened by 12%.
"Human, get out of our way!" The two angels, realizing they couldn't escape, roared furiously, gripping their light swords as they gritted their teeth and charged at John. John sneered in disdain, casting Annihilation and Dark Storm simultaneously. The combo triggered a Spell Combo, unleashing a terrifying force of dark magic that devoured the two
angels.
-1,296,090
-150,140
-1,124,100
...
Massive damage numbers, exceeding a million, flashed before him.
With magical critical hits combined with the true damage of dark magic, the Two-Winged Angels, despite their nearly 9 million health, saw it halved in an instant.
Terror struck their hearts. They exchanged a glance and, without hesitation, fled in opposite
directions.
They had entered the World of Gods using special methods. Dying here wouldn't mean true death, but it would cause them to lose levels-a devastating consequence for seventh-tier beings, as leveling up after that point was exceedingly difficult. This was something they
could not afford.
"You can't escape," John scoffed, unleashing Unrivaled Sword Dance, Infinite Sword Array, and Flying Sword Strike all at once, targeting one of the fleeing angels. Blood splattered, and pristine white feathers fluttered to the ground. While she wasn't
instantly killed, she was gravely wounded and fell to the earth.
John paid her no mind, switching to Sword Flight and quickly pursuing the other Two-Winged
Angel. With his dark spells off cooldown, he raised his hand and sent two more waves of dark magic crashing down.
"No...!" she let out a desperate scream, but it was in vain. She was instantly obliterated.
[You have slain a seventh-tier legendary Two-Winged Angel, gaining 1.6 million experience
points.]
[Plunder talent triggered: Divinity +1, Luck +1.]
The notification flashed as John gained another point in Divinity and Luck.
The Two-Winged Angel's body dissolved into a white light, disappearing without leaving any
loot behind. Unbothered by the lack of drops, John turned back to finish off the other Two-Winged Angel. With a casual wave of his hand, two more dark magic spells howled through the air. The wounded Two-Winged Angel, terrified, roared in fury, "Human, your doom is near!
You'll regret this-"
Boom!
Her words were cut short as she disintegrated into a flash of white light and vanished.
[You have slain a seventh-tier legendary Two-Winged Angel, gaining 1.6 million experience
points.]
[Plunder talent activated: Divinity +1, Mental attribute +200.]
[You have successfully killed 70 legendary bosses above the seventh tier. Wrath of the Gods
talent upgraded: Skill costs reduced by 70%.]
[Next upgrade requirement: Kill 80 legendary bosses above the eighth tier.]
