Chapter 729: Heaven and Earth's Gift, The Legend Claims to Be the True Freeloader (4K)_2
The risk is extremely high.
Even formidable individuals, even those in the Law Realm, face a high probability of survival risks once the blood flesh source seed is planted.
And even if one can survive, once one's own blood and flesh begin to mutate, it's equivalent to filth corruption reaching the third stage, a very serious condition.
After all, it's akin to accepting filth with one's own body, can it not be dangerous?
Duo Lai, however, does not have the risk of filth mutation; she can already switch to a 'filthy life', making the filthy Red Mist as ordinary as air to her.
However, Duo Lai does not require these blood flesh source seeds.
She could purely devour them as consumables, though it seems a bit wasteful.
"Uta can use it."
"Even though Uta also faces the risk of mutation, Uta possesses a Body Universe, with every cell containing his own will, making it so that blood and flesh erosion might not even be able to encroach upon a drop of his blood."
The enhancement of blood flesh power is quite suitable for Uta, and he can try it before Ascension.
As for after Ascension?
The body has already transformed into a Concept Saint Body, the foundation is fixed, and using various natural treasures wouldn't have much effect.
"Endless Blood River"
"Grade: Upper Epic"
"Type: Heaven and Earth Treasure"
"Description: Can manifest an endless blood river containing the power of twisted erosion, and the user will continuously suffer from filth corruption."
…
"Deformed Blood Nest"
"Type: Special"
"Description: Can create a blood nest similar to a Nest of Filth. The blood nest, by absorbing energy and Red Mist, can incessantly spawn monsters, with a small chance of spawning high-order mutant monsters."
"Note: The monsters spawned are only controlled by high-rank monsters."
This blood nest may seem useless at first glance, but actually…
"It can either provide materials for Dead Bone to convert into undead."
"Or, it can be kept within the territory, used as consumables in the training field."
Besides, there are some high-grade materials.
Most of them are certain body parts left from the fall of Law Realm monsters.
Or crystals formed from Great Force after a Saint Realm fall.
These materials, although full of filth, can still leave quite valuable items once the filth is filtered through various means.
After purification, the materials might be able to forge several epic pieces of equipment.
Yes, that's all for the loot harvest.
Very little.
Insignificant compared to the risks they took and the enemies they extinguished.
The main attraction is the Heaven and Earth's Gift.
But if they hadn't won this great victory, there wouldn't be a Heaven and Earth's Gift descending.
"It's coming soon."
...
"Heaven and Earth's Gift has finally arrived."
Within the Nirvana Secret Realm of the Tai Xuan Alliance.
The Nirvana Divine Phoenix had already returned here, lazily lying on her precious bed, restoring herself with Great Force.
In the battle of Tianyuan City, her Concept Saint Body suffered some injuries again.
However, these conceptual injuries did not touch the root, and recovery is not too troublesome, merely requiring a little time.
Compared to her earlier estimation, the losses in this battle were already very, very low.
"Not only is the wear low, but most importantly, we won this holy war..."
The original idea of the Nirvana Divine Phoenix was to hold out as much as possible and if unable, to take away the Lord of Tianyuan City.
She felt there was a high probability of the latter happening.
Even the former only means fighting to a standstill with the invading Monster Sacred Realm.
No victory, no Heaven and Earth's Gift naturally.
But now, there was one.
After all, they annihilated several terrifying existences in the Saint Realm; even if the Nirvana Divine Phoenix just played a supporting role, she also got some credit.
"It's just strange, the Heaven and Earth's Gift should have descended right after the battle ended, right?"
She lingered in Tianyuan City for a while after the battle, until she confirmed the disappearance of the 'Red Mist Landification' rule, preventing the Monster Sacred Realm from easily entering the island domain, before she and the other legends like Wan Chao left one after another.
Logically, even with slight delays, the Heaven and Earth's Gift should have already descended, right?
This time, it was delayed for more than half a day.
"Perhaps it's the period of great calamity, where the heaven and earth are turbulent, causing the gift to come later. After all, I heard that the Creation Land almost got polluted recently, which speaks of how troubling the current situation is."
"Never mind, worrying about it is pointless."
"Let's just anticipate what the Heaven and Earth's Gift will be. Although at my level, Heaven and Earth's Gifts rarely offer surprises, this time, since I was just a support, the gift shouldn't be too much."
But after all, it's a free gift.
Getting something for nothing is more delightful.
The Phoenix Venerate gazed towards the Azure Sky.
The mystical power spread, and a beam of glorious light descended precisely on her.
Her expression changed subtly, becoming pleasantly surprised.
"This is…"
"The Light of Baptism for the Saint Body!"
At this moment,
The injuries on her Saint Body began to disappear at a rate visible to the naked eye, not only the surface conceptual injuries but also the profound imprints deeply bound to her existence, which she had struggled to eliminate cleanly for decades.
A quarter of an hour later, the heavenly light gradually faded.
The Concept Saint Body of the Nirvana Divine Phoenix, Phoenix Venerate, had already returned to perfection.
"Not only that, but my Concept Saint Body has advanced by approximately 5% in quantity."
This is a breakthrough beyond the limit!
If not for the Heaven and Earth's Gift breaking her bottleneck, she might have taken tens or hundreds of years to make further progress.
The Great Monarch Level is like this.
For legend lives like her to step into the Great Monarch Level is not difficult, but at this level, like other Great Monarchs, there is no way forward.
Great talent and great opportunities are needed to have even a slight chance for further breakthroughs.
And now…
"With just one Heaven and Earth's Gift, my Saint Body not only fully recovered but also made a minor breakthrough?"
"Is the effect of Heaven and Earth's Gift truly so strong?"
The Nirvana Divine Phoenix had experienced Heaven and Earth's Gifts before.
Thirty years ago, she had turned the tide and saved the Tai Xuan Alliance, slaying over three Holy Realm Monarchs, invincible at the time.
Yet, the Heaven and Earth's Gift that descended back then was not as abundant as now.
Why so much?
"Initially going for support was to give a favor to the Tai Xuan Four Pillars and the Lord of Tianyuan City."
"But unexpectedly, we supporters got the big advantage in this grand victory!"
They didn't contribute much, but still got a great victory.
If it wasn't for the invitation from the Lord of Tianyuan City, she wouldn't have a chance to enjoy such a splendid Heaven and Earth Baptism.
Feeling...
They, the legendary external aids, were just the freeloaders winning!
...
Elsewhere, the Myriad Tide Dragon Venerate's Saint Body injuries had also recovered.
He was astonished, joyous, and somewhat puzzled.
"Is this right?"
"Clearly, I went to aid with great resolve, so how did we end up purely benefiting?"
As a dignified Dragon Venerate, he never intended to be a freeloader.
Yet, it's truly delightful now.
...
Elsewhere, the Stone Heart Saint King suddenly realized.
"I understand it now."
"At first glance, it seemed the Lord of Tianyuan City was struggling against great foes and invited us to jointly resist the Dragon Sleep Valley, but in reality, it was the Lord giving us a chance to earn merits!"
"We owe the Lord of Tianyuan City a favor now."
The Stone Heart Saint King shook his head slightly.
Yet, it seemed only he discovered this truth.
...
In the region of Tianyuan City, rays of glorious light descended from the sky.
This is the Light of Baptism that showers all beings. Under this raining light, in the shattered Ten Directions Island Domain, the filth quickly dissipated. The entire island's environment finally improved.
There were beams of light containing ample baptism power descending on Dead Bone, Lapis, and other generals.
Dead Bone's Power of Death increased.
This increase was quite small, as compared to the Heaven and Earth's Gift, Dead Bone's Necrotic Plague Breath had already snowballed a millionfold.
Generals like Lu Liu, Isloa, Rakshasa, Seventeen, and others received significant enhancements in conceptual comprehension.
Meanwhile,
Mu Yuan extended his hand, and the first beam of the gift light solidified in his palm, manifesting into a tangible item.
"Ding~!"
"Tip: You have received 'a trace of National Fortune' ×5."
