Chapter 678 - 673: S-level Golden Artifact!
Chapter 678 - 673: S-level Golden Artifact!
The Rooster was busy making connections, conveying Bai Pu’s latest directives.
Heavy Rain, Dai Sect, and the others wanted to leave, but Bai Pu kept them there.
"The Dark Gold Treasure Chest from killing Ferudo, interested in taking a look?"
Heavy Rain and the others were delighted to stay. As renowned top-tier Awakened, their gains from the Spirit Realm’s Spoils Treasure Chests had been cut down to almost nothing, such Dark Gold Treasure Chests were rare.
Bai Pu also intended to boost morale. Although Ferudo was killed by him, it was on a battlefield of teamwork, both publicly and privately, it was necessary to open it in front of everyone and not enjoy it behind closed doors.
The Dark Gold Treasure Chest appeared, and Bai Pu placed his hand on top of it.
Ferudo’s Dark Gold Treasure Chest surprisingly contained a full hundred Dark Gold Cards.
There might be a large number of everyday items with significant padding.
Bai Pu was able to exclude 20 low-valued cards. Without hesitation, he excluded them; then he received a prompt, based on his battle evaluation of killing Ferudo, allowing him three draws.
Bai Pu reached out and clicked on the first card in the first row.
[You have obtained an S-level Golden Artifact: Sarajael’s Energy-Injected Feather.]
A long purple feather, accompanied by intense Dark Gold light, appeared, almost blinding the crowd, a splendid large catch right from the start!
[Sarajael’s Energy-Injected Feather: S-level Golden Artifact. Prepare for 10 minutes to summon the Divine Power Aggregation of Netherworld Demon God Salajael. Requirement: Divine Descent Warrior or equivalent Magic System Profession (Magic Energy Slot). Cost: Spend 1000 points of magic power for summoning; maintain the Divine Power Aggregation’s existence consuming 100 points of magic power per second. Remaining usages 1/3, can be recharged.]
[Warning: You have not received Sarajael’s recognition. Please do not attempt summoning in the presence of Sarajael’s true form to avoid unknown consequences.]
After carefully reading the explanation, everyone’s expressions inevitably fell.
"Looks like there’s no way to use it in the Demon Fighting World."
Thinking of the powerful destructive force of that Purple Fire Phoenix, everyone felt a bit regretful.
This S-level Golden Artifact is a crucial item that could determine the outcome of a war. From its power alone, it truly deserves the S-level Golden Artifact rating.
However, its many limitations also made it a chicken rib for the Huaxia Battle Group.
"It’s quite normal. When I killed Ferudo, he had already lost his Lifebound Summoned Beast, and the Divine Power Aggregation of Sarajael that was summoned was held up by Laine; it’s normal for the S-level Golden Artifact to have so many restrictions."
Bai Pu took it lightly, casually clicking on the second Dark Gold Card.
[You have obtained a Skill Book: Divine Descent Warrior’s Comfort.]
Accompanied by the Dark Gold light, an ancient scroll fell into Bai Pu’s palm.
[Divine Descent Warrior’s Comfort: Applies a comfort effect to the selected target, attempting to tame it. The target must be one of the Divine Descendant, Dragon Species, Beast Species, Demon Species, or possess any one of these four bloodlines. If taming is successful, the target will become your Summoned Creature and ascend to the Star Realm.]
[Warning: The greater the power disparity between the target and you, the longer it takes to tame. During the taming process, the target may be provoked and attack you. Enduring the attack head-on aids in successful taming.]
"This is a divine skill for the Summoning Profession, it can even tame Divine Descendant creatures." The well-informed Wu Mingyue immediately exclaimed.
Divine Descendants, as the name suggests, are offspring of the gods.
Divine Descendant creatures, in terms of templates, surpass King-level existences.
In the world where Awakened operate, Divine Descendant creatures are almost nonexistent, even King-level template creatures are rarely encountered—unless you’re someone like Bai Pu who is always uncovering deep secrets of the world.
For instance, the human form of Our Lady of Thorns is genuinely a King-level creature—this is even when they’re restrained by physical conditions, able to exert only a small portion of their power. In the Divine Kingdom, the true form of Our Lady of Thorns is a Divine Descendant level existence.
It’s just that Our Lady of Thorns also carries the identity of a Divine Envoy, restricted by the Origin Oath, unable to act against Bai Pu.
Salajael’s situation is rather different, as she is not an external invader of the Demon Fighting World, but part of its backdrop—as a Sealer of the War of the Gods and Demons, she exists within the setting of the Demon Fighting World, belonging to a part of it.
Salajael can act without scruples, for she is not a Divine Envoy in the Demon Fighting World.
This bypasses the limitations of the Origin Oath.
Thus, once Salajael is completely revived, it means an existence of Divine Descendant level will be present in the Demon Fighting World, an almost unbeatable entity.
This is also the goal of the Sea Race invaders.
The Huaxia Battle Group led by Bai Pu needs to compete with the Sea Race for Ancient Relics—for instance, that Source of Top-Level Water Magic—Abyssal Treasure Bead is one of them.
Seizing the Ancient Relics can delay the process of Salajael’s complete revival.
An incompletely revived Salajael would be roughly King-level.
This stage, too, poses a near-insurmountable challenge for Awakened, but it remains within the control range of the Spirit Realm Will. If Laine develops well, he can temporarily contend against the King-level Salajael, and the incompletely revived Salajael also has weaknesses.
"A skill book for the Divine Descent Warrior, it’s not surprising it can tame Divine Descendant creatures. The hardest part is, during the taming process, the target might attack the caster, and the caster can’t call upon their Professional Energy. Doesn’t this mean taking hits passively?"
Dai Sect scoffed at the book, "It’s just like a deaf man’s ears, purely ornamental."
"This book may be of use." Bai Pu pondered, putting it away, "Thus, the unproductive move I originally made might come in handy."
The last Dark Gold Card revealed a notebook, [Divine Descent Ceremony Manual].
It detailed the ceremonies to communicate with various Divine beings to perform the Divine Descent Technique.
Once successfully executed, it can invite the descent of a Divine Being! Naturally, Bai Pu now understood, the "Divine Beings" perceived by the natives of the Demon Fighting World are actually "Divine Envoys" in the eyes of the Awakened.
Logically, this book seems quite useful, but seeing the requirements for the Divine Descent Ceremony, you know it’s fundamentally impractical.
Divine Descent Ceremony of the Nether God: Acquire and sacrifice the hearts of the Fighting Saint Dragon King, Prismatic Saint Dragon King, Void Saint Dragon King, and Purple Brilliance Saint Dragon King.
Divine Descent Ceremony of the Dragon God: Acquire and sacrifice the essence of Dark Demon Dragon Basotto, Heart of Fire Feathers of Purple Flame Phoenix Salajael, and the eyeball of Demon Eye Agelas.
Divine Descent Ceremony of the Light God...
This Divine Descent Ceremony Manual, Bai Pu was very curious about who wrote it... Is its authenticity guaranteed?
Or perhaps, has anyone done this before and succeeded?
In Bai Pu’s eyes, the value of this book has already diminished to the level of a "pastime reading material."
