Chapter 596: Chapter 596 - 590: Upgrade Preparations
350,000 Attributes?
Reward: Divine Fragment?
Lin You looked at the discussions in the chat channel, showing a hint of doubt on his face.
The Chaos Primordial Beast they faced earlier had 410,000 attributes, and the reward was not a Divine Fragment, but a more advanced Chaos Treasure.
From this perspective.
The task difficulties and rewards in each subordinate space are different.
Although 350,000 attributes have some difficulty, with the strength of those old kings combined with the joint attack of the lords from various realms, they should still be able to successfully slay it.
Not like before, suffering heavy losses.
However, the reward of the Divine Fragment is a bit lacking for him now, not enough to attract him to compete with so many Tier Ten lords.
After watching the lords’ chat for a while, he closed the interface and continued with mutated species.
[Mutation successful, species potential level increased, current species: Deep Blue Dream]
Accompanied by the sound of a prompt, an attribute panel appeared before him.
[Name: Mysterious Blue Dream (Legendary)]
[Race: Plant]
[Level: Tier Ten (Upgrading with Territory)]
[Power: 60,000 (+60,000)]
[Constitution: 60,000 (+69,600)]
[Agility: 57,000 (+57,000)]
[Spirit: 62,500 (+62,500)]
[Skills: Spiritual Absorption, Deep Blue Illusion Realm (Constructs an illusion realm based on thorns within a one-kilometer range, disrupting sight perception, effect dependent on opponent’s spirit.)
Spiritual Disruption (Emits a spiritual shock, lowering the spirit attribute of enemies within range by 50% for 10 seconds.)
Spiritual Storm (Explodes all energy, causing continuous spiritual destruction to nearby enemies, damage is 100% of the spirit attribute.)
Blood Rose (Enemies affected by the Deep Blue Illusion Realm will have a Blood Rose mark appear on them every 10 seconds, reducing spirit attribute by 2%, stackable.)]
[Introduction: A rose plant very skilled in spiritual attacks, capable of creating an illusion realm within its range, attack is extremely peculiar, the longer one stays in the realm, the deeper they fall, unable to escape.]
...
The Mysterious Blue Dream at Legendary Level has become much stronger.
Especially having inherited the Spiritual Absorption skill from Deceit Willow, its interference ability on enemy spirits is also not weak.
Combined together, its strength is even greater.
Or rather.
Upgrading to a Legendary Species, after attributes are enhanced, the skill effects of these ordinary rare species have been greatly magnified.
In Barbaric Roar state, with 160,000 constitution, even facing an attack with 300,000 attributes, it would at most inflict 140,000 damage.
It could still retain 20,000 constitution to hang on, not being killed instantly.
With his current species’ healing ability, he can completely heal it in a short time.
In other words, Legendary Species already have the capital to withstand attacks from lords of the same level, no longer being weaklings that can be easily wiped out.
Unfortunately, he is short on resources, otherwise, he would need to forge a legendary army.
"Looks like I need to continue collecting rule fragments tomorrow."
Lin You murmured to himself, then settled his mind and continued mutating species.
A thousand legendary species cost him over half an hour of time.
Then he used Magic Energy to recruit species to fill the remaining vacancies, before getting up to his sleeping quarters to rest, finally ending this busy day.
...
Early the next morning.
As dawn broke, Lin You brought the corpse of the Chaos Primordial Beast to the underground grand furnace in the Dwarf Royal Capital, where he found Mageon working in the blacksmith room.
Wanting him to help appraise the quality of the corpse.
To his surprise.
When Mageon saw the corpse of the Chaos Primordial Beast, his eyes suddenly widened.
"Damn, where did you get this corpse?"
He said, immediately throwing down his hammer and hurriedly running over, constantly inspecting the corpse as if admiring a rare treasure.
"Weren’t there demons invading at the border? I got it in those subordinate spaces," Lin You explained.
"How is it? Can it be forged into Tier Eleven equipment?"
Tier Ten equipment cannot be effective against Tier Eleven.
Thus, he no longer has the necessity to forge Tier Ten equipment.
When he advances to Tier Eleven, both his offensive and defensive set and Frost Spirit Set will be honorably retired, he must forge Tier Eleven equipment.
After all, each additional piece of equipment grants him extra survival capacity.
"Are you sure you want to use it to forge equipment?"
Mageon didn’t answer Lin You’s inquiry but asked back.
"What’s wrong? Is there an issue?" Lin You asked, puzzled.
"The issue is huge!" Mageon, in a beard-blowing, glaring manner, exclaimed, "I can sense it, this corpse contains the world origin power, albeit weak, but it’s the perfect material for forging Tier Twelve equipment!"
"And you want to use it to forge Tier Eleven equipment?"
"Uh... so the corpse’s value is this high?" Lin You was stunned upon hearing this.
He had thought the materials from this corpse could forge one or two pieces of Tier Eleven equipment at best, yet hadn’t expected it to be able to forge Tier Twelve.
It completely exceeded his expectations.
However, after hesitating for a moment, he made a decision: "Let’s craft a Tier Eleven equipment, Tier Twelve is still too far away for me, even if it’s crafted, I can’t use it."
Even though he knew crafting Tier Twelve was the best choice.
The urgent task at hand, though, is to enhance his strength as much as possible to survive among the Tier Eleven.
Tier Twelve equipment is not something he should consider now.
"Are you sure?" Mageon looked at him with skepticism.
Upon seeing the serious expression on his face, Mageon could only shrug helplessly, "Alright, after all, even if you want to craft Tier Twelve equipment now, no one can help you."
"Not even you?" Lin You asked in surprise.
"Of course not, do you think Tier Twelve equipment is as common as cabbage?"
"Only when I ascend to Tier Eleven and, with the aid of the War God Armor, can I barely craft it, and besides me, no one else on the continent can do it."
There was deep pride in Mageon’s words.
Pride in the tradition of the Dwarf Race and pride in his own forging skills.
Lin You was secretly astonished and finally understood the value of Tier Twelve equipment.
This way, he doesn’t need to consider such an ethereal thing anymore.
"Since you’ve decided, leave the corpse here, and come find me in half a month."
"Half a month? Alright." Lin You nodded lightly.
A half-month’s time was already shorter than he had expected.
After all, crafting Tier Eleven equipment is no easy feat.
It’s said that those Tier Eleven blacksmiths of the Human Race take at least a month to craft one piece of Tier Eleven equipment.
And after crafting, they are so drained that they can’t craft a second piece for almost half a year.
Even if Mageon has the blessing of the War God Armor, it shouldn’t be much better.
Looks like this time, he’s going to bleed a lot again.
But in order to enhance his power, he can only grit his teeth and forge ahead.
No more time was wasted.
After discussing equipment needs and other requirements with Mageon, Lin You left the Dwarf Kingdom and returned to the Saint Protection Duchy.
He briefly explained some matters to Xue Changgui and the others before teleporting to the Realm Border to continue entering those Tier Ten subordinate spaces to hunt Lord Demons, diligently collecting Rule Fragments, and incidentally searching for the Ten Great Primordial Forces.
With the addition of a thousand Legendary Species, his Plant Army grew even stronger.
Led by the Royal Family, they pressed forward, choosing to attack places with the most Lord Demons.
Apart from the SSS-level, almost no Lord Demon could stop their pace, ultimately turning into pieces of Rule Fragments.
So they went back and forth between the duchy and the border every day.
On the tenth day, Lin You finally gathered the Rule Fragments he needed for his plan, even having a surplus, reaching an astonishing 210,000 pieces.
However, unfortunately.
In these ten days, there was no news of any space offering a mission to reward a Chaos Treasure, nor did any monster with attributes of 410,000 appear again.
So Lin You was unwilling to compete with so many people for a single Divine Fragment.
Instead, he focused on cultivation, slaughtering Lord Demons fiercely.
Finally obtaining so many Rule Fragments.
Even the Time Flow Speed that he could control with the Time Law, increased to 2.5 times, achieving a qualitative leap.
As the year-end deadline drew closer and closer.
He also temporarily stopped hunting, returning to his territory with the massive resources he had gathered over this time.
"It’s also time to upgrade."
Lin You sat under the World Tree, with a very solemn expression, starting to review the preparations he made for the upgrade to Tier Eleven during this time.
First of all, the most important are the complete Divine Fragment obtained from the Celestial Ladder and these 210,000 Rule Fragments, as guarantees for rapidly enhancing his power after upgrading.
Then, there is the Time Law acquired during the Life Realm expedition, this power transcending the rules, definitely a crucial means for him to contend with Tier Eleven Lords.
Another one is the recently upgraded Mutated Ability.
The newly unlocked Legendary Species, plus eleven Royal Family members, would ensure that he wouldn’t be much worse than those old kings in large-scale species battles, avoiding the danger of being overwhelmed.
Lastly, the Tier Eleven equipment Mageon helped craft was also nearing completion.
As for the Royal Family’s level issue, that was not something he worried about.
Because after Tier Ten, without a Territory Core, species only need Magic Energy and Rule Fragments to upgrade, as long as the Territory Level reaches, they can upgrade.
Of course, this upgrade isn’t cheap, otherwise, he wouldn’t have needed to collect so many Rule Fragments.
Now that everything is ready, he can finally proceed to upgrade to Tier Eleven, saying he’s not nervous would be a lie.
But more than that, he felt excited.
After taking a deep breath, he pulled up the territory interface, glanced at the upgrade conditions that had all been met, and clicked the upgrade option.
[All resources required for the upgrade to Tier Eleven are collected, would you like to upgrade the territory?]
The long-lost prompt sounded in Lin You’s mind.
After a pause, a slightly trembling voice finally came from his mouth.
"Upgrade."
As soon as the words fell, with a "boom", a vast and mighty Life Aura soared into the sky, transforming into a green beam straight into the clouds.
Immediately after.
The vast Life Aura, centered on the World Tree, suddenly spread out in all directions, turning into circles of green ripples sweeping across the entire Saint Protection Duchy!
