42: Chapter 42 Weaknesses Exposed, Focused Attack to Break Defense

The road back to the capital was unusually quiet.

The five rode fast, but Lin Ye was lost in thought about the corpse of the ancient thunder god at the bottom of the thunder pool.

The three-zhang-tall purple body, even after dying for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, still exuded a pressure that made the Divine Soul of a Dao Palace Realm Cultivator tremble.

And there was that drop of thunder gods essence blood—although he had only absorbed one in a billionth of its power, it had already triggered a qualitative change in his body.

He opened the attribute panel to check his newly acquired abilities:

[Lightning Tribulation Physique (Prototype)]

Effect: Lightning attribute resistance +20%, Lightning-type skill power +20%, when struck by lightning, there is a probability of triggering 'Lightning Spirit Resonance' (temporarily increases all attributes by 10%).

Growth: Can be gradually evolved by absorbing more Lightning Origin or experiencing Lightning Tribulation.

Current Stage: Prototype (1/100)

[Lightning Affinity: 5%]

Effect: Reduces consumption by 5% when casting Lightning-type skills, power increased by 5%.

Description: Basic affinity gained from absorbing thunder gods essence blood, can be increased by Cultivating Lightning-type Cultivation Technique or absorbing Lightning-type Heaven And Earth Treasure.

These two new abilities gave Lin Ye a huge advantage when facing Lightning-type enemies.

More importantly, the Lightning Tribulation Physique meant that his success rate in future Undergoing Tribulation would be much higher than other Cultivators—the essence of Heavenly Tribulation is lightning.

Brother Ye, your arm... Su Qingyue rode closer, looking at Lin Ye's right arm, which had recovered as before, her eyes still filled with worry.

It's fine. Lin Ye moved his fingers. The power of the thunder gods essence blood is too tyrannical, but my Physique can withstand it. What about you? When you were acting as Protector by the thunder pool, was your spirit body affected?

Su Qingyue shook her head: With the lightning evasion talisman and potions, it was just a bit more consumption, I'll be fine after resting for a few days.

Chen Hao caught up from behind and asked excitedly: Brother Ye, what exactly was at the bottom of the thunder pool? That commotion just now was like Heavenly Tribulation descending!

Lin Ye did not hide it completely, but he didn't tell the whole truth either: Found some Lightning-type treasures, and an ancient Lightning Technique. However, the Lightning Technique requires a Lightning Spirit Physique to Cultivate, and none of us are suitable.

Lightning Spirit Physique? Zhang Meng scratched his head. I've heard that such a Physique is hard to find in a thousand years. Our Eastern Wasteland has only had one in the last hundred years, and that was three hundred years ago.

We'll talk about the Lightning Technique later. Lin Ye looked ahead. Let's return to the city first. The commotion of the thunder pool drying up is too big; I'm afraid all parties are inquiring about the news now.

Just as he expected, when the five returned to the capital, they clearly felt the abnormality in the atmosphere.

The guards at the city gate had increased by at least double, and they were all elites above Rank 35. When entering the city, the gate officer specifically looked at Lin Ye a few more times, wanting to speak but stopping, but eventually did not block him.

On the streets, players were gathered in twos and threes, all discussing the changes in Wind and Thunder Valley.

Did you hear? The thunder pool in Wind and Thunder Valley exploded!

More than exploded, the whole pool dried up! Some say it's a natural disaster, some say it's man-made...

Who else could it be? It must be Lin Ye! He just went to Wind and Thunder Valley, and then the thunder pool had an accident, how could it be such a coincidence?

But the thunder pool has existed for three thousand years. Even if Lin Ye is strong, he just broke through to the Dao Palace Realm. Can he destroy the thunder pool?

Who knows, maybe he obtained some Heaven-Defying treasure...

The discussions reached his ears, but Lin Ye's expression remained unchanged. This kind of thing couldn't be hidden, and there was no need to hide it completely—appropriately showing strength and Opportunity could instead deter some petty people.

Returning to the Heavenly Court headquarters, Qin Ruoxue was already waiting in the conference hall.

Brother Ye, the situation is not good. She went straight to the point. In the few hours you were away, at least ten waves of scouts were active around the headquarters. People from Overlord Pavilion, Blood Fiend Alliance, and Ziyun Sect are all here, and there are a few strange faces—possibly people from Olympus.

As expected. Lin Ye sat down. The news of the thunder pool drying up spread quickly, right?

Very fast. Qin Ruoxue nodded. Less than an hour after you left Wind and Thunder Valley, the news had spread throughout the capital. Now every major guild is inquiring about the specific situation, and the royal family has also sent people to ask.

Qian Duoduo added: In the trading house, the prices of Lightning-type Materials and Medicinal Pill have started to skyrocket. Especially [lightning evasion talisman] and [Lightning Resistance Potions], the prices have already tripled, and they are still rising.

How much inventory do we have? Lin Ye asked.

There are thirty lightning evasion talisman left, and twenty bottles of Lightning Resistance Potions. Qian Duoduo checked the ledger. Should we sell? We can make a big profit by selling now.

Keep half for self-use, sell half. Lin Ye thought for a moment. Also, post an acquisition task, offering a high price for Lightning-type Cultivation Technique and information related to the Lightning Spirit Physique.

Lightning Spirit Physique? Qin Ruoxue was stunned. Brother Ye, you want to find a Lightning Spirit Physique Cultivator?

Not find, just keep an eye out. Lin Ye didn't explain too much. Also, help me contact Ji Mingyue from the Yaoguang Holy Land and say I have something to discuss.

Okay.

After arranging these, Lin Ye returned to his Cultivation room. He needed to organize his gains from this trip to the thunder pool, and more importantly—test his newly acquired abilities.

First, take out the [Thunder Source Crystal].

The fist-sized purple crystal floated in his palm, with a sea of thunder surging inside, and those tiny thunder creatures swimming as if they had life. Lin Ye tried to probe with his Divine Sense and immediately felt the pure thunder Law fragments. Although these fragments were scattered, each one contained a profound understanding of the Dao of thunder.

If I could fully absorb it... Lin Ye muttered.

But he knew it wasn't possible yet. The energy in the Thunder Source Crystal was too vast; absorbing it directly would only lead to exploding and dying. He would need to reach at least the Four Extremities Realm before he could attempt to refine it.

He put the Thunder Source Crystal back into the jade box and took out the [Heart of the Thunder Eagle King] instead.

The millstone-sized heart was still beating slowly even after being separated from the body. Every time it beat, it drew the thunder elements in the surrounding air to produce a faint resonance. Lin Ye could feel that this heart contained not only energy, but also some of the instincts of the Thunder Eagle King before its death—the control over wind, the mastery over thunder.

It can be used to refine flying Magic Treasure, or... transplant it. Lin Ye remembered a setting in the game: the core organs of certain special Yao Beast can be transplanted into players or NPCs, thereby gaining some of the Yao Beast's abilities.

But this requires Advanced medical skills or Puppet techniques, and the risk is very high. In his previous life, a player tried to transplant the [Heart of the Fire Phoenix], but ended up being backlashed by the Phoenix's remnant Soul, his Soul was severely damaged, and he had to delete his account and start over.

Keep it for now.

The third item is the [Nine Heavens Lightning Technique · First Layer] bamboo slip.

Lin Ye unfolded the bamboo slip and read it carefully again. This Cultivation Technique is indeed exquisite, especially the exposition on the essence of thunder is very profound. But the threshold for Cultivation is too high—30% Lightning attribute affinity, which almost only a Lightning Spirit Physique can achieve. Ordinary Cultivators, even if they have Lightning-type talent, usually only have 10% - 15% affinity.

Maybe I can learn from its ideas. Lin Ye thought. Chaos Power can simulate any attribute, and in theory, it can also simulate thunder. But there is still a difference between simulation and real thunder power, just like the difference between a replica and the real thing.

He put away the bamboo slip and finally took out the damaged [ring of the thunder god].

The purple ring lay quietly in his palm, the cracks on its surface shocking. But even damaged, Lin Ye could still feel the terrifying power sleeping deep within the ring—that is the Origin of an Immortal Artifact, the manifestation of the Law of thunder.

Repair requirements: [Thunder Source Crystal] × 1, [Nine Heavens Profound Iron] × 10, [Thunder Tribulation Liquid] × 3 drops.

He had the Thunder Source Crystal, and although Nine Heavens Profound Iron is rare, he should be able to buy it with money. The most troublesome thing is the Thunder Tribulation Liquid—that is a liquid condensed after the Heavenly Tribulation lightning hits a specific spiritual object, which is rare and hard to find. Moreover, collecting Thunder Tribulation Liquid itself is an adventure in the Heavenly Tribulation, and a slight carelessness would lead to Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

Take it slow. Lin Ye put the ring on his left index finger. Although damaged, the material of the ring itself is extraordinary, and wearing it can subtly improve his perception of thunder.

After organizing his gains, he began to test his new abilities.

First is the [Lightning Tribulation Physique].

Lin Ye walked into the courtyard and took out a piece of [Lightning-Struck Wood] from his storage ring—this is the remains of a tree that had been struck by Heavenly Lightning, containing faint thunder power. He held the Lightning-Struck Wood and actively absorbed the thunder within it.

Zzz—

The electric light spread along his arm, but this time there was no previous excruciating pain. After the thunder power entered his body, it was quickly assimilated by the Chaos Power, and at the same time, the Lightning Tribulation Physique was passively triggered, and a part of the thunder was absorbed and transformed, strengthening his body.

[System Prompt: You have absorbed faint thunder!]

[Lightning Tribulation Physique growth: 1/100 → 1.01/100]

[Lightning Affinity: 5% → 5.001%]

The growth is negligible, but it is indeed growing. If he can absorb enough thunder every day, maybe in a few years, he can really let the Lightning Tribulation Physique evolve.

Then there is the actual effect of Lightning Affinity.

Lin Ye tried to cast a most basic Fireball Spell—this was learned during the Wheel Sea Realm, and it had long been eliminated. But this time, he deliberately mobilized the aura of the thunder gods essence blood in his body while casting.

The moment the fireball appeared, its surface was entwined with faint purple electric light.

Bang!

The fireball hit the sword-testing stone, and in addition to the explosive fire damage, there was a faint arc of electricity spreading, leaving scorched marks on the surface of the sword-testing stone.

Although the power increase was not great, it proved that Lightning Affinity has a bonus to all Spells—even if it is not a Lightning-type Spell, it can add thunder effects.

It seems that in future battles, I can try to integrate the power of thunder into Chaos attacks. Lin Ye thought thoughtfully.

Just then, Qin Ruoxue's voice came from outside the door: Brother Ye, Ji Mingyue is here.

Please take her to the conference hall, I'll be there soon.

Lin Ye changed into clean clothes and came to the conference hall. Ji Mingyue was already waiting there. She was dressed in casual clothes today, her light golden long hair simply tied up, losing a bit of the majesty of the Holy Land, and adding a bit of heroic spirit.

Congratulations on your Breakthrough. Seeing Lin Ye, Ji Mingyue's first sentence was to congratulate him. Dao Palace First Layer, the second person among Eastern Wasteland players, this achievement is enough to go down in history.

Miss Ji is too kind. Lin Ye sat opposite her. What does the Holy Land think about the thunder pool?

Ji Mingyue's expression became serious: This is exactly why I came to find you. The drying up of the thunder pool has a greater impact than you think.

She took out a map and unfolded it: Wind and Thunder Valley is an important dangerous place on the southeast border of Yan State, and its existence blocked a shortcut for Zhao State to go south. Now the thunder pool has dried up, the power of wind and thunder is unbalanced, and in three months at most, Wind and Thunder Valley will become an ordinary valley. By then, the Zhao State army can easily pass through there and reach the heart of Yan State.

Lin Ye frowned: So serious?

More seriously, the thunder pool itself is a natural barrier. Now that the barrier has disappeared, the 'things' that were originally suppressed may come out. Ji Mingyue pointed to a mark on the map further south of Wind and Thunder Valley. Here, Burial Dragon Valley. You shouldn't be unfamiliar with it.

Burial Dragon Valley is adjacent to Wind and Thunder Valley?

Adjacent, and there are Spiritual Veins connected underground. Ji Mingyue nodded. The thunder power of the thunder pool, to some extent, suppresses the Yin Fiend Qi of Burial Dragon Valley. Now that the thunder pool has dried up, the Yin Fiend of Burial Dragon Valley has lost its suppression and may riot.

Lin Ye recalled his previous experience in Burial Dragon Valley—those Yin Souls, corpse guards, and the corpse-changed body of the Yan Martial King. If those things poured out on a large scale, it would indeed be a disaster.

Does the royal family know?

Commander Jin Buhuan has already taken people to check. Ji Mingyue said, But it treats the symptoms, not the root cause. To stabilize that area again, we need to set up a large-scale Formation, or... find a suppression object to replace the thunder pool.

She looked at Lin Ye: The Elders of the Holy Land analyzed that among the things you got from the thunder pool, there may be a way to solve this problem.

Lin Ye was silent for a moment, and took out the jade box of the Thunder Source Crystal.

The box opened, and the purple crystal was revealed. The sea of thunder surged inside, and the pure thunder power made the air in the entire conference hall carry a trace of electricity.

Ji Mingyue's pupils shrank: Thunder Source Crystal? And it's of Legendary quality!

The condensed essence of three thousand years in the Thunder Pool.

Lin Ye closed the box.

Using it to set up a Formation should temporarily replace the suppression effect of the Thunder Pool.

However, it can only last for a while—the energy of the Thunder Source Crystal is limited; every bit used is a bit less.

That is enough.

Ji Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as we can buy half a year, the Imperial Family and the Holy Land can set up a permanent sealing Formation.

Lin Ye, this Thunder Source Crystal... are you willing to lend it to the Holy Land?

The Holy Land can exchange it for items of equal value, or count it as completing an ally mission for you.

Lending it is fine, but there are conditions.

Lin Ye said, "First, I must be present during the Formation setup to learn Formation knowledge.

Second, after the Formation is set up, the Heavenly Court must have priority for exploration rights in Wind and Thunder Valley and Burial Dragon Valley.

Third, the Holy Land needs to help the Heavenly Court train three Formation Masters."

Ji Mingyue thought for a moment and nodded: "Reasonable.

I will apply to the Council of Elders; it should be no problem."

Then it's settled.

Lin Ye pushed the jade box to her, "When will the Formation be set up?"

The sooner the better.

Ji Mingyue put away the jade box, "Three days later, the Holy Land will send a Formation Elder to Wind and Thunder Valley.

I will notify you then."

Good.

After seeing Ji Mingyue off, Lin Ye sat back down and rubbed his temples.

Things were happening one after another, leaving almost no time to breathe.

The matter of the Thunder Pool was not yet finished, and now there were problems in Burial Dragon Valley.

Furthermore, on Zeus's side, the Olympus guild's pace of entering the Eastern Wasteland was getting faster and faster...

"Brother Ye."

Chen Hao pushed the door open and entered, his expression somewhat strange, "There is an old man outside who wants to see you, saying he is... Great Master Wang Chui's Senior Brother."

"Wang Chui's Senior Brother?"

Lin Ye was stunned, "Please bring him in."

Not long after, an old man wearing gray Daoist robes with messy hair walked in.

The old man looked to be in his sixties, with a thin face and exceptionally bright eyes.

He held a pipe in his hand, puffing out clouds of smoke as he walked.

[Artifact Refining Grandmaster · Ouye Feng (NPC)]

Rank: ???

Identity: Honorary Elder of the Artifact Refiners Association, Senior Brother of Great Master Wang Chui

Status: Carefree, Curious

Description: One of the top Artifact Refining Grandmasters within the Yan State, skilled in repairing ancient artifacts and crafting special Magic Treasures.

His personality is eccentric, and he acts as he pleases, but he has an almost paranoid pursuit of the path of Artifact Refining.

"You are Lin Ye?"

Ouye Feng looked Lin Ye up and down, his gaze lingering for a moment on the ring of the thunder god on his left hand, "I heard you got some good things from the Thunder Pool, and there is also a damaged ancient ring?"

The news spread really fast.

Lin Ye thought to himself, while keeping his expression calm, "Senior, are you here for the ring of the thunder god?"

"Smart."

Ouye Feng took a puff of his pipe, "That kid Wang Chui doesn't have enough discernment to see the true nature of that ring, but I saw its extraordinary nature at a glance.

Kid, let me see that ring; if it really is what I think it is, this old man can help you repair it—of course, you provide the Materials yourself."

Lin Ye hesitated for a moment but still took off the ring of the thunder god.

With an NPC of Ouye Feng's level, if he really wanted to take it by force, Lin Ye wouldn't be able to protect it at all.

Moreover, since the other party offered to repair it, it was indeed an Opportunity.

Lin Ye handed over the ring, and Ouye Feng took it, bringing it close to his eyes to examine it carefully.

His expression gradually shifted from casual to solemn, and then from solemn to excited.

"It really is... it really is the ring of the thunder god!"

His hands trembled slightly, "The legendary Immortal Artifact, the personal item of the ancient Thunder God!

Although it is severely damaged, the Origin is still there, and the spirituality is not extinguished!"

He looked at Lin Ye with burning eyes, "Kid, where did you get this ring?

The Thunder God's ruins?

No, the Thunder God's ruins are deep in the Endless Sea; you couldn't have gone there..."

"At the bottom of the Thunder Pool, on an ancient corpse."

Lin Ye told the truth.

"Thunder Pool... ancient corpse..."

Ouye Feng muttered to himself, then suddenly slapped his thigh, "I understand!

Ancient records state that the Thunder God fell in the battle against the Extraterritorial Heavenly Demons, and his corpse fell into the Eastern Wasteland.

So it was in Wind and Thunder Valley!

No wonder the Thunder Pool could exist for three thousand years; it was formed by the dissipated thunder power of the Thunder God's corpse!"

He became more and more excited as he spoke, "Kid, your Opportunity is Heaven-Defying!

Although the ring of the thunder god is a damaged Immortal Artifact, as long as it is repaired by thirty percent, it will be comparable to a Heaven Rank Magic Treasure!

Repairing it to fifty percent can reproduce part of the Immortal Artifact's power!

Repairing it to eighty percent... that would be a true Immortal Artifact, enough for you to dominate the Dao Palace Realm, or even contend against the Four Extremities Realm!"

Lin Ye asked, "Senior, how much can you repair?"

Ouye Feng calmed down and carefully inspected the degree of damage to the ring.

After a long while, he slowly said, "With my current level, combined with the Materials you provide, I can repair it by at most thirty percent.

To repair more, I need my cultivation to break through to the Saint Realm, or find a flame of the level of [Creation Divine Fire]."

"Thirty percent is enough."

Lin Ye said, "What Materials are needed?"

"You have the Thunder Source Crystal, right?"

Ouye Feng narrowed his eyes, "The thunder fluctuations inside the jade box that the girl took away just now could not be hidden from me."

"I have it, but it's not big."

Lin Ye did not tell the whole truth.

"Fist-sized is enough."

Ouye Feng nodded, "I also need ten jin of Nine Heavens Profound Iron, three liang of stardust sand, and one piece of void stone.

Also... during the repair, it needs to be tempered by attracting Heavenly Tribulation, so it is best to do it on a thunderstorm day."

Lin Ye noted down these Materials.

He knew about Nine Heavens Profound Iron and stardust sand, but this was the first time he had heard of void stone.

"What is void stone?"

"A type of strange stone containing spatial power, usually only found in void rifts or spatial turbulence."

Ouye Feng explained, "The Yaoguang Holy Land should have stock; you can exchange for it with contribution points, or trade items for it."

Lin Ye thought of his authority with the Yaoguang Covenant Token; he should be able to exchange for some rare Materials.

"Good, I will gather the Materials as soon as possible.

Senior, when can you start the repair?"

"Once the Materials are ready, I can start anytime."

Ouye Feng returned the ring to Lin Ye, "However, kid, I must remind you.

Once the ring of the thunder god is repaired, it will trigger celestial phenomena, which might attract covetous eyes.

It is best to do it in the Holy Land or a place with strong Protectors."

"Understood, thank you for the reminder, Senior."

After seeing Ouye Feng off, Lin Ye leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh.

There was hope for the repair of the ring of the thunder god, which was good news.

But the Materials needed were not simple, especially the void stone; it would probably take some effort.

"Knock, knock, knock."

The sound of knocking on the door rang out again.

"Come in."

This time it was Qin Ruoxue.

Her face looked a bit nervous, "Brother Ye, just received intelligence: Apollo from the Olympus guild has publicly issued a challenge to you."

"A challenge?"

Lin Ye raised an eyebrow, "What form?"

"An arena battle, three days later at the city center square."

Qin Ruoxue handed over a battle invitation, "The stakes are high: if you win, Olympus will withdraw from the Yan State and compensate the Heavenly Court with one hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

If you lose... the Heavenly Court must join Olympus and become its branch."

Lin Ye took the battle invitation.

The invitation was written on golden paper, the text arrogant and domineering, and at the end was Apollo's signature and a thunderbolt mark—that was the symbol of Zeus.

"Dao Palace First Layer against Dao Palace First Layer, it looks very fair."

Lin Ye smiled, "But he overlooked one thing—even at the same Realm, there are differences in strength."

"Brother Ye, are you going to accept the challenge?"

Chen Hao asked.

"Why not?"

Lin Ye put away the battle invitation, "This is a good Opportunity.

Defeating Apollo will not only deter Olympus but also boost the prestige of the Heavenly Court.

Besides, one hundred thousand Spirit Stones... that's not a small amount."

Su Qingyue frowned, "But Apollo dares to issue a public challenge, so he must be confident.

He is Zeus's confidant, ranked in the top ten on the Western server, and has rich combat experience.

Moreover, Olympus has abundant resources and may have prepared special equipment or trump cards for him."

"I know."

Lin Ye nodded, "So these three days, I need to do two things: first, consolidate my Realm and familiarize myself with new abilities; second, collect intelligence on Apollo to understand his combat style and trump cards."

He looked at Qin Ruoxue, "Ruoxue, mobilize all intelligence networks to check Apollo's battle record, commonly used skills, and equipment features on the Western server.

The more detailed, the better."

"Understood!"

"Chen Hao, Zhang Meng, you two need to train hard these few days, especially on coordination.

If I accept the challenge, you must be prepared—the arena battle might just be the beginning; if Olympus loses, they might not keep their word."

"Yes!"

Everyone dispersed, and Lin Ye returned to the cultivation room.

He sat cross-legged but did not start cultivating immediately; instead, he fell into deep thought.

The trip to the Thunder Pool had given his strength a qualitative leap, but it had also attracted more attention and trouble.

Now he was like standing on the crest of the wind and waves, and his every move would be magnified.

Olympus's challenge seemed to be a personal grudge, but in reality, it was a test between two forces, or even two major regions.

If he lost, the Heavenly Court's prestige would be swept away, and the morale of the Eastern Wasteland players would be frustrated.

If he won, Olympus would not let it go, and Zeus might take action personally.

"Dao Palace First Layer... still too weak."

Lin Ye muttered.

He needed to improve his strength faster.

Every time he leveled up in the Dao Palace Realm, his strength would have a huge leap.

If he could reach the Dao Palace Third Layer or even the fourth layer as soon as possible, he would have the power to fight when facing Zeus.

But cultivation cannot be rushed.

Although the Chaos Heavenly Emperor Body ignores Bottlenecks, it requires massive amounts of resources.

What he lacked most right now was time—and resources.

"Perhaps I can do this..."

A flash of light passed through Lin Ye's eyes.

He took out a jade bottle from his storage ring, which contained three drops of dark red liquid—this was the residual dragon blood collected when the dragon blood jade pendant shattered previously.

Dragon blood essence can significantly increase strength in a short time, but the side effects are also great.

He had used it once before, which caused damage to his wheel sea secret realm and required a long recovery.

But it was different now.

He had the Thunder God's Essence Blood in his body, and his Physique was several times stronger than before.

If used cautiously, perhaps he could use the dragon blood essence to break through to the Dao Palace Second Layer without damaging his Foundation.

The risk was great, but it was worth a try.

Lin Ye did not act immediately; instead, he adjusted his breath for an hour to bring his state to the best.

Then, he took out one drop of dragon blood and dripped it onto the tip of his tongue.

The scorching energy erupted instantly!

This time, Lin Ye had experience.

He immediately circulated the Chaos Power, enveloping and diluting the dragon blood essence layer by layer, then slowly absorbed it.

At the same time, the aura of the Thunder God's Essence Blood was also triggered, and the two powerful blood essences blended, fought, and finally reached a delicate balance within his body.

In the Dao Palace Realm, the five Chaos Divine Palaces lit up simultaneously.

The Void Divine Treasury spun crazily, converting the violent energy in the dragon blood into pure Chaos Power, which was injected into the Divine Palaces.

The Heart Divine Treasury produced changes first.

In the original gray flames, a trace of blood color appeared, the flame temperature rose sharply, and the power increased by at least thirty percent.

Then it was the Liver Divine Treasury, Spleen Divine Treasury, Lung Divine Treasury, and Kidney Divine Treasury...

Five hours later, Lin Ye opened his eyes, with light flickering in them.

[System Prompt: You have absorbed the dragon blood essence!]

[Five Viscera Divine Treasury strength +10%, total Chaos Power +15%]

[Thunder Tribulation Physique resonates with the dragon blood, all attributes temporarily +20%, lasting for 12 hours]

[Warning: Excessive absorption of dragon blood essence may lead to Bloodline conflict, please use the next drop with caution]

Although he did not directly break through to the Dao Palace Second Layer, his strength had improved significantly.

Moreover, the resonance effect between the Thunder Tribulation Physique and the dragon blood would increase his combat power by twenty percent in the next day.

This was his trump card.

Lin Ye stood up and stretched his body.

His bones made a crackling sound, and his whole body was filled with power.

He walked to the window and looked toward the city center square.

Three days later, there would be a battle there that would determine the landscape of the Eastern Wasteland players.

And he, must win.

The night grew deeper, and the lights all over the city were extinguished one after another.

But inside the Heavenly Court headquarters, it was still brightly lit.

Everyone knew that a storm was coming.
