【Battle Demon Tree: Grants the following effects to the Ginseng Fruit Tree, Zhenyuan.】
【1. Fighting Heaven and Earth: The Ginseng Fruit Tree’s combat intent is high and inextinguishable. When fighting enemies of the same realm, it gains one stack of Combat Intent for every minute the battle lasts. Each stack of Combat Intent increases all attributes by 1% of its initial state.
When fighting enemies whose realm exceeds its own, it immediately gains 999 stacks of Combat Intent and gains an additional stack every second.
When receiving a fatal attack in battle, if the stacks of Combat Intent exceed 100, it will consume 100 stacks to become immune to that fatal attack.
When Combat Intent stacks reach 1,000, it gains the divine ability Law Phenomenon. Its size and all attributes will skyrocket!!!
(Back then, my ancestor was a dutiful fruit tree under Great Immortal Zhenyuan, but that Protector of the Horses was ungrateful. He couldn't tell right from wrong and broke my ancestor’s foundation. Although Bodhisattva Guanyin intervened later, this deep-seated hatred must be avenged.
Back then, that monkey used a Golden Cudgel to destroy my ancestor's foundation; today, I have borrowed all sorts of weapons from the Dragon Palace to level this Flower-Fruit Mountain!!!)】
【2. Ego Demon Heart: The Ginseng Fruit Tree no longer bears fruit, instead nurturing an Ego Demon Heart. The Demon Heart blooms once every three thousand years, producing a Demon Tree Core. The Demon Tree Core can be refined into a second Ginseng Fruit Tree, possessing the same strength as the original.
(I bore fruit for everyone, yet no one was for me. It is better to enter the demonic path, temper my own body, and carve out a bright future!)】
【3. Demon Tree Dao Fruit: The Ginseng Fruit Tree’s root system can absorb and digest defeated enemies. After digesting an enemy, it will produce a corresponding Dao Fruit.
After consuming a Dao Fruit, the Ginseng Fruit Tree will obtain the corresponding Dao Rhyme.
The produced Dao Fruit can also be consumed by others, but the effect is only 10%.
(Fellow Daoist, we hit it off at first sight. Why not turn into a Dao Fruit on my branch so that we are never separated? I can take you to the peak of this world to see the sights you have never seen before.)】
Zhenyuan’s exclusive enhancement was incredibly fierce—one might even say a bit sinister.
It focused on a cycle of killing and burying: Fighting Heaven and Earth handled the killing, while Demon Tree Dao Fruit handled the burial.
Furthermore, the Ego Demon Heart was responsible for building an alliance. Every three thousand years, another Ginseng Fruit Tree would appear. Over a long period, the cumulative bonus would be staggering.
After obtaining the talent, Zhenyuan was very curious about the mysterious power within its body. After carefully sensing it, it actually extended a branch and gently poked Chen Xu.
However, this action was not recognized by the talent as starting a battle, so it failed to trigger.
Seeing Zhenyuan like this, Chen Xu shook his head helplessly.
Then, in the next second, Chen Xu swung his hand and gave Zhenyuan a heavy slap, sending the Ginseng Fruit Tree flying.
The Ginseng Fruit Tree’s aura suddenly exploded mid-air, its body filled with combat intent.
By the time it landed, it had already stacked 1,000 layers of Combat Intent. Its size instantly ballooned as it manifested its Law Phenomenon form.
Its roots stepped upon the earth, and more than half of its crown pierced into the Inverted Sea. The Bone Kuns inside saw it and thought it was food provided by Chen Xu, so they all opened their mouths to gnaw on Zhenyuan’s branches.
But due to the exaggerated attribute boost from the Combat Intent, Zhenyuan’s defense had reached a ridiculous level. When the Bone Kuns bit down, they didn't break the bark; instead, they shattered their own teeth.
“Woohoo— wait, why is it gone?”
The Combat Intent came quickly and left just as fast. Zhenyuan felt no real desire to fight; the trigger just now was merely a protection mechanism activated because it received an attack far exceeding its own realm.
Once the attacks stopped, the Combat Intent vanished instantly, and Zhenyuan retreated from its Law Phenomenon state.
Chen Xu estimated Zhenyuan’s aura in his mind. After the dual enhancement of Combat Intent and Law Phenomenon, Zhenyuan, who was only at the mythic-tier, could actually rival an expert who had just entered the eternal-tier.
He didn't know whether to say the Heaven-Earth Spiritual Root was naturally extraordinary or that his own cheats were too powerful, making it possible for a mythic-tier to fight an eternal-tier.
However, Chen Xu did not immediately test Zhenyuan’s actual combat prowess. Instead, he first turned his gaze toward the Yin Stone.
【Keystone: Grants the following effects to the Yin Stone.】
【1. World Suppression: Mount Five Elements suppressed the Great Sage Sun, and Mount Hua imprisoned the Holy Mother of the Three Heavens. Since ancient times, mountains and stones have been things of suppression. The Yin Stone is a stone of the world of the living, yet it connects down to the Netherworld. It can suppress physical bodies, divine souls, and even worlds. All things can be suppressed.】
【2. Foundation: Earth and stone are the foundations of the world. Water nurtures life for the world, while earth and stone are the cradle for the creation and development of life, possessing infinite possibilities.
The Yin Stone gains infinite shaping capabilities and can be forged as equipment.】
【3. Self-Contained World: A blank small world is born within the Yin Stone, which can be used for daily storage. At the same time, because it contains a world, most of the damage the Yin Stone receives will be transferred to the internal small world and shared by it.
When the small world is damaged, it will unfold a domain, trapping enemies for a period of time. If the enemy is killed before the domain ends, the small world can be reconstructed using the enemy's essence blood.
The Yin Stone can also actively shatter its internal small world to unfold the domain.
Note: Please remove valuable items from the Yin Stone’s small world before a fight to avoid damage caused by the aftershocks of battle.
(Hello? Courier company? How are you transporting packages? Every product I sent to my customers is completely smashed! What? You say your packaging is perfectly fine, not a scratch on it?
Cut the crap! You made a package out of solid steel; of course it isn't damaged! But my goods were all smashed by your steel box!)】
Compared to Zhenyuan, the Yin Stone’s talent enhancement seemed a bit inferior.
Only the World Suppression talent looked noteworthy. All things could be suppressed; to put it simply, it was a ridiculous sealing ability similar to Bone Guard Two’s.
However, while Bone Guard Two targeted souls, the Yin Stone treated everyone equally. Regardless of gender, age, human or ghost—even a world consciousness—all would be suppressed.
But the second talent, Foundation, left Chen Xu a bit speechless. It had infinite shaping capabilities and could be forged as equipment.
What did this mean? It meant that after the Yin Stone finally gained sentience with great difficulty, it still couldn't escape the fate of being used as a weapon by Zhenyuan.
At this moment, Chen Xu glanced at Zhenyuan and the Yin Stone, who were still acting like best brothers, and sighed.
It was a case of the willing victim and the willing perpetrator. As long as the Yin Stone didn't object, it was fine. If it couldn't be a Yin Lord, being a Yin Lord’s weapon wasn't bad either.
Just as the Green Dragon Crescent Blade was to Guan Gong and the Ruyi Golden Cudgel was to the Great Sage, being a weapon for the powerful was also a grand path.
With the talent enhancements complete, the next step was to find a way to let Zhenyuan step into the eternal-tier as soon as possible.
The Ginseng Fruit Tree had an extraordinary origin and would reach the eternal-tier upon reaching adulthood. But this also meant that if Chen Xu wanted to accelerate its growth, he would have to pay a massive price.
“Big Boss.”
Chen Xu cast his gaze downward.
Big Boss was currently following Chen Xu’s orders, dragging the three blocks of ice containing the eternal-tier space pirates as he traded across the myriad worlds.
Along the way, he had attracted many onlookers. Using the pirates as a publicity stunt, the transaction volume for this trade run had actually increased quite a bit.
Hearing Chen Xu’s voice and sensing a grand gaze, Big Boss bowed his head and said respectfully.
“My Lord.”
“Mobilize the channels of the Wanbao Pavilion to acquire large quantities of resources that can accelerate the growth of Heaven-Earth Spiritual Roots.”
“As you command.”
After making the arrangements, Chen Xu turned his attention to Patchwerk. According to his plan, this mutated abomination was also one of the ten Yin Lords. He had to find ways to help all the Yin Lord candidates who hadn't reached the eternal-tier yet to improve quickly.
Just then, Chen Xu received an unexpected message.
Xia Qiming sent him a message through the job-holder panel.
“There’s a massive fish. Blue Star can't swallow it alone. Want to jump in?”
