Divine Crystal

Half an hour later, Divine Blade and the other three slowly landed.

"Brother Ye Chen!" Divine Blade shouted happily.

Ye Chen stood up and walked toward Divine Blade, smiling. "Are you all okay?"

"We're fine, we ran fast. You scared me to death. I couldn't contact you earlier, so I thought something had happened to you. If something had happened to you here, I wouldn't know how to explain it to Brother Demon Blade," Divine Blade said, still shaken.

"Isn't everything fine?"

Blade of Elimination looked at Dark Ji, Blood Asura, and Gun Gun, then exclaimed, "Brother Ye Chen, your Dark Ji is already Rank LV67, and Blood Asura is Rank LV65, and Gun Gun is Rank LV64!"

"Yes, I just happened to have some opportunities." Ye Chen did not hide it.

Divine Blade's pupils constricted, and the look he gave Ye Chen was one of surprise. He hadn't expected Ye Chen's opportunities to be this great, with his pets' Ranks already higher than his own.

"Let's go. We're heading to the place Brother Divine Blade mentioned," Ye Chen said with a faint smile.

He had a feeling that the place Divine Blade talked about probably wasn't simple.

"Alright! Please!"

Divine Blade led the way, heading forward.

Blood Asura flew beside Ye Chen and suddenly said, "Oh right, Boss, here. This is what we obtained from those people."

What Blood Asura brought out was the loot from Astonish Sky and his group.

Ye Chen took the items into his hands.

After seeing what they were, Ye Chen was slightly taken aback.

Ye Chen only glanced indifferently at the Mythical and Legend Rank equipment, not valuing them much. What surprised Ye Chen were some of the Materials.

Essence of Darkness, Heart of Darkness!

These two items were both needed for Dark-attribute pets to achieve a Breakthrough to Rank LV71. He hadn't expected Astonish Sky to have both; it seemed only one was needed to achieve the Breakthrough to Rank LV71.

It could only be said that Divine Blade had bad luck, while Ye Chen had better luck; if Divine Blade had achieved the Breakthrough to Rank LV71, then Ye Chen would have been the one to die.

But he was missing one item.

Ye Chen put the items away; he wasn't in a rush to use the Experience Capsules.

After flying for a full hour, Divine Blade suddenly stopped.

Divine Blade looked down, pointed to a spot, and said, "Brother Ye Chen, that's it!"

Ye Chen looked down where Divine Blade was pointing. Below was a place emitting light. It was just a little bit, but that tiny bit of light was exceptionally conspicuous in this darkness.

The group slowly descended toward the glowing spot.

Arriving at the entrance, they realized it was a cave opening leading underground, with two Rank LV65 monsters guarding the gate.

Seeing Ye Chen and the others approach, the two monsters stood up with a start.

"This is a monster stronghold! You Pet Masters, get lost immediately!"

The group nodded, immediately launched an attack, and within a few minutes, both monsters were slain.

Arriving at the cave entrance, they didn't rush in, but instead took a piece of Epic equipment and threw it inside.

Whoosh!

The moment the Epic equipment was thrown in, it was instantly annihilated.

Divine Blade frowned and said, "Just as I thought, it's indeed dangerous in here; even Epic equipment can't withstand it."

Ye Chen took out a piece of Legend equipment and threw it in.

Clang.

The sound of the equipment hitting the ground rang out.

Only then did a look of joy appear on Divine Blade's face. "My deduction was correct; in this place, only Legend equipment can withstand it."

Fine Moon said weakly, "Second Brother Divine Blade, my... my armor was ruined by Astonish Sky and his group!"

"Hmm?" Divine Blade frowned slightly. "I don't have any extra equipment on me. Sigh, forget it. Maybe you shouldn't go in."

"No need, I have extras here!" Ye Chen casually took out a piece of Legend equipment and handed it to Fine Moon.

Fine Moon cast a grateful look and said thank you.

After the equipment was put on, Divine Blade took a deep breath. "Let's go, I'll go in first."

Arriving at the cave entrance, Divine Blade gritted his teeth and walked in.

Fine Moon and Crescent Moon watched Divine Blade with worried faces.

Divine Blade's figure disappeared into the light curtain.

"Come in, it's fine!" Divine Blade's excited voice came from inside.

Ye Chen was the first to step inside.

Arriving inside, Ye Chen finally saw the environment.

There was nothing inside but a passage leading downward. Inside the passage, there was a shining light, and the source of this light seemed to be some kind of object.

Fine Moon and the others also walked in.

"Huh, why is there nothing here?"

Divine Blade looked inside and said excitedly, "It's below. We need to go down to investigate."

"Hmm, let's go!"

The group headed downward.

When they reached the bottom of the cave, Divine Blade's eyes widened.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!" Blade of Elimination shouted 'holy crap' three times. "What is this thing!"

They saw that in the center of the cave bottom, there was nothing else, only a huge, crystal-like object lying there. This light source was radiating from it.

Divine Blade stepped forward and placed a hand on the crystal.

Boom!

The crystal suddenly made a loud noise and actually began to split.

In no time at all, it turned into eight pieces!

Eight small crystal fragments floated in the air, emitting light.

The light did not weaken because of the splitting.

However, the once singular light was now being emitted in different colors by the eight fragments.

Black, red, gold, seven-colored, green, blue...

"What's going on?"

At that moment, the information about the fragments appeared.

[Wood Divine Crystal: Heaven Rank top-tier Material, can be used for pet Breakthrough to LV71. After using it for the Breakthrough, it will be the most top-tier Breakthrough!]

"Hmm? Could it be that this is a Breakthrough Material? What does this 'most top-tier Breakthrough' mean?"

Divine Blade was stunned for a moment, then his expression became excited. He said, "I understand what's going on now. I understand. For monsters of the same Rank, don't their HP and Attack differ? After this Breakthrough, attributes are doubled. Generally, the lowest multiplier for doubling is 1.5 times, and the highest is 3 times. This top-tier Breakthrough must mean it triples!"

Ye Chen nodded; it seemed that was the only explanation.

"Furthermore, this Divine Crystal can replace any single item used during a Breakthrough! We... we really got damn lucky this time. How many people, how many monsters, are stuck at Rank LV70, missing only one item to achieve the Breakthrough to Rank LV71? This thing is just too powerful!" Blade of Elimination said excitedly.

The observant Fine Moon suddenly said, "Second Brother Divine Blade, look, this Divine Crystal is divided into eight pieces, and we have exactly eight pets. Different colors represent different attributes. We... we fit perfectly! It just happens to correspond to us!"

Divine Blade also noticed this.

"Brother Ye Chen, let's split them. You take the four pieces that belong to you, and we'll each take one!" Divine Blade said.

"Wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate?"

There were only eight pieces in total, and he would be taking half at once. Besides, this thing was originally discovered by Divine Blade.

"It's fine, we wouldn't have any use for them anyway. If you feel bad, just give me the equipment you lent me." Divine Blade was in a great mood and said jokingly.
