133: Chapter 133: The Eighth-Tier Blind Box Reveals the Ultimate Prize!

Lin Feng pondered for a moment.

He ultimately decided to prioritize feeding his divine beasts.

Using top-tier divine items to complete the laws of heaven and earth was a pure waste.

His most urgent task right now was to crazily accumulate practical combat foundation and faith essence.

Therefore, raising the cultivation realm of his divine beasts was absolutely the best choice.

Now that he had entered the ranks of eight-tier powerhouses, his main forces were still stuck at the seventh tier; he had to catch up quickly.

Once his combat strength was fully formed, he could then go to the Endless Void to explore for core crystals.

Next was the problem of allocating resources.

There were a total of seven divine beasts.

Taotie was a freak without elemental attributes; it could grow stronger by devouring anything, so feeding it exclusive crystals was a pure waste of resources.

He could only choose from the remaining six divine beasts.

To successfully advance a divine beast, it had to devour a core of the same tier with 100% attribute compatibility, or an any-attribute core that was one major tier higher.

He had three top-tier eight-tier cores on hand: Dark, Thunder, and Earth.

Only Zhulong could perfectly digest the Dark attribute.

However, Zhulong was currently only at the seventh tier.

Even if it swallowed this eight-tier gem, it could at most only advance to the eighth tier.

Lin Feng searched through his system inventory.

Unfortunately, he did not find any seventh-tier Dark or Light crystals.

This meant that Zhulong could only be guaranteed to reach the eighth tier this time.

But this was still quite good.

Lin Feng shifted his thoughts and suspended the eight-tier Dark core directly above Zhulong.

"This is my grace!"

Lin Feng declared in a majestic voice.

The eight-tier crystal slowly drifted down.

"I thank the Master for his great kindness!"

Zhulong soared up from the spirit stone vein cluster, opened its giant mouth, and swallowed this ancient treasure whole.

Afterward, it coiled back onto the mineral vein, and the aura around its body began to climb steadily.

"Ding! Zhulong's foundation is full, preparing to break through to the eighth tier! Requires consumption of chaos purple qi!"

Before the system notification finished broadcasting,

Lin Feng had already scattered all the purple mist he had prepared in advance.

Next, he just needed to wait patiently for Zhulong to undergo its transformation.

Immediately after, he arranged for the next divine beast.

Lin Feng took out the eight-tier Earth core.

There were three candidates with Earth attributes: Xiangliu, Baize, and Pixiu.

Lin Feng carefully checked his seventh-tier inventory but did not find any seventh-tier Earth core.

If he bestowed this eight-tier gem upon the seventh-tier Xiangliu or Pixiu, it would only help them break through to the eighth tier.

If he bestowed it upon the eighth-tier Baize, it could allow Baize to leap and become an invincible ninth-tier existence!

Should he add another eighth-tier fighter, or exhaust his resources to create a ninth-tier ceiling?

Lin Feng weighed this carefully for a long time.

Ultimately, he tossed the core to Pixiu.

An eighth-tier Baize was already completely sufficient for now.

However, the divine power reserves in Lin Feng's account were facing a serious crisis.

Subsequent large-scale forging of artifacts, maintaining daily consumption of artifacts, frequently using Divine Privilege, purchasing high-end building materials...

These were all bottomless pits!

Although he had just robbed a windfall, he couldn't just sit and eat his savings; they would eventually run out one day.

Therefore, maxing out the level of his money-printing machine, Pixiu, was the highest-yield operation.

Having made up his mind,

Lin Feng repeated his old trick and steadily delivered the Earth core into Pixiu's mouth.

The little guy cheered and swallowed the gem, jumping around happily.

...

Finally, only one eight-tier Thunder core remained.

Among the seven divine beasts, only the Azure Dragon perfectly matched the Thunder laws.

What was even more surprising was,

Lin Feng dug out a Thunder-attribute crystal as well when he was counting his seventh-tier spoils!

This meant that the Azure Dragon could first use the seventh-tier core to leap to the eighth tier.

Then it could swallow the eight-tier core and directly sprint to the ninth tier!

A ninth-tier divine beast!

This was a true existence standing at the top of the pyramid!

Lin Feng couldn't help but gasp, his heartbeat suddenly accelerating.

He quickly extracted the two precious Thunder cores from his backpack.

One big and one small, flashing with electricity.

As long as he threw both of these gems at the Azure Dragon, it could instantly reach the ninth tier!

Reaching the ultimate peak of mortal species!

"Azure Dragon! Accept this reward! May you continue to uphold your duty to defend the path and sweep away all obstacles!"

Lin Feng manifested a majestic giant face, his voice echoing in the sky like a great bell.

"The Dragon clan swears to defend the Master's glory to the death!"

The Azure Dragon let out a sky-shaking roar, shooting straight into the clouds, its attitude extremely solemn.

"Thank you, Master, for your fulfillment!"

Immediately after,

The Azure Dragon opened its bloody maw and swallowed both Thunder crystals together.

At the same time, Lin Feng's chaos purple qi poured down like a waterfall.

Everything was ready, waiting for the good news.

The first ninth-tier totem was about to appear!

Just thinking about it made one feel hot-blooded.

...

After counting the remaining dozens of seventh-tier cores,

Lin Feng did not find any stock that matched the attributes of his divine beasts.

It was somewhat of a pity.

Otherwise, he could definitely have mass-produced several more eighth-tier overlords today.

These remaining seventh-tier cores, plus hundreds of sixth-tier cores,

Lin Feng waved his hand and tossed them all into the Chaos Territory.

Hundreds of top-tier crystals shattered in the sky, instantly turning into a visible, violent storm of rules.

Lin Feng crazily squeezed the divine power in his body, carefully guiding this world-destroying power, slowly integrating it into the underlying architecture of the territory.

After a meticulous integration process, the various laws of the Chaos Territory became increasingly indestructible.

The operational logic of the ecological environment also increasingly approached that of the real Main World.

Of course,

Lin Feng did not exhaust all the sixth-tier cores.

He specifically kept a dozen or so at the bottom of his inventory.

He would wait for a suitable opportunity to give them to Tang You and Gu Ze, helping them raise their combat power.

These two close friends would definitely be recruited as direct lieutenants in the future; investing in them early was definitely a guaranteed profit.

After handling the basic construction of the territory,

Lin Feng finally found time to check the eight-tier grand gift package issued by the system.

"System, open the advancement blind box immediately!"

"Ding! Blind box unlocked successfully..."

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Ancient White Tiger Awakening Card (Eighth Tier)!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining: White Tiger companion artifact — white tiger divine talisman!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Massive amount of chaos purple qi!"

...

White Tiger!

It was actually the White Tiger, which presided over slaughter!

Lin Feng was overjoyed on the spot.

He really hadn't expected that the ultimate prize from the eight-tier blind box would be the White Tiger, one of the Four Sacred Beasts.

In this way, his lineup was only missing one Xuanwu to completely gather the four ancient sacred beasts that defend the path!

He wondered if gathering them all would trigger some kind of heaven-defying bond bonus.

In addition to the divine beast itself, the system also very generously included an exclusive artifact.

He was not in a hurry to awaken the White Tiger for now.

First, he would check the specific effects of this artifact!
