Chapter 959: Chapter 960 Devil Vine_1

After releasing the Eclipse Shattered Light Slash, Song Jian didn’t even glance at the effects before he directly entered the Shattered Divine Realm. Just as his figure vanished, a surging wave of energy passed right through where he had just been standing;

A massive sword wound appeared on the surface of the corrupted demonic ancient tree, nearly splitting its body in two. This strike caused over three hundred thousand damage to the corrupted ancient tree, but it did not trigger a tenfold critical hit, failing to finish it off instantly;

“This, this feeling—it’s too painful!” Song Jian lay weakly on a patch of grass, completely drained, unable even to move a finger;

Not only had his Vitality Points been depleted, but his Mental Strength and Sword Qi Value were also exhausted. Song Jian felt as if he had been hollowed out, stuck in a state of weakness that was locked in place, and he had to endure it for five minutes;

At that moment, Song Jian was immensely grateful for possessing the Shattered Divine Realm. Although he had already entered it, there was still a faint connection with the outside world. He could sense the impact energy that had nearly killed him a moment ago. This energy’s power was by no means inferior to a full-force release of his Sword Qi, and in terms of range and impact, it was much stronger. In terms of cutting and sharpness, his Sword Qi might only be slightly better;

“This skill should only be used to finish off an enemy, not to start a fight!” Song Jian ruefully summarized his experience with trying the Eclipse Shattered Light Slash;

Five minutes felt like a more torturous ordeal than a slow execution to Song Jian. Every cell in his body was frantically signaling him to replenish nutrients, but he was powerless to do anything;

This torture was the ultimate test of his willpower. If he had been a person of slightly weaker will, he might have thought about how to commit suicide and escape this suffering. But in his current state, even the thought of suicide was a luxury;

Five minutes seemed to drag on for an eternity, but thankfully, everything has an end. After five minutes, Song Jian’s Vitality Points, Spirit Points, and Sword Qi Value began to slowly recover. Strength refilled his body once again, like clear water flowing into a dry riverbed, making him feel reborn;

After half a minute more, Song Jian finally fully recovered. The moment he left the Shattered Divine Realm, he saw that the BOSS’s Vitality Points had also recovered by ten or so thousand. The damage caused by the Eclipse Shattered Light Slash had been effectively halved;

Karmic Fire Red Lotus, Thousand Swords Art!

With a soft shout, Song Jian fiercely swung the Sky-breaking Sword forward. Sixty Spirit Swords traced crimson arcs through the air, flying towards the corrupted Devil Tree;

Boom boom boom~

The power of the Thousand Swords Art was even greater than he had imagined. A series of critical hits floated up from the Devil Tree. Even without triggering the second stage of the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword Formation, the sixty Spirit Swords still dealt over three hundred thousand damage to it;

A vast red lotus enveloped the corrupted Devil Tree BOSS, and countless Sword Qi ablaze with flames continuously strangled it;

“It seems that Red Lotus Karma Fire has a strong restraining effect on it. The damage it inflicts is much greater than that on other BOSSes?” Song Jian stroked his chin, watching the Devil Tree burn fiercely as if it were a giant torch, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face;

Without even reaching the second stage of the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword Formation, the corrupted Devil Tree was directly burned to ashes. It seemed that this corrupted demonic ancient tree had a negative resistance to fire; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been reduced to this state by the fire so quickly;

Among a pile of ashes, two items emitting a purple-red glow were particularly conspicuous amidst a heap of blue-green items. Song Jian rushed straight towards these two items because he saw one of them was actually a scroll, which seemed to be a Skill Book;

“Thousand Swords Art can finally be upgraded to level six!” Song Jian secretly thrilled. If Thousand Swords Art reached level six, he estimated it could sustain the third stage of the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword Formation. Song Jian was eager to try the power of that hand in the third stage to see how strong it actually was;

However, when Song Jian picked up the skill scroll radiating purple-red light, he immediately froze, his face showing a hesitant expression.

This scroll turned out to be a special general-purpose skill scroll with only one effect: it could raise the defense level of a player’s equipment by one tier;

The equipment defense level means that cloth armor professions could wear leather armor, leather armor professions could wear chainmail, chainmail professions could wear plate armor, and plate armor professions were already at their highest, unable to improve further. If a plate armor professional acquired this skill scroll, their only option would be to sell it;

But Song Jian was somewhat reluctant to part with such a special and rare universal skill, which was much more precious than a profession skill of the same tier. To use it up as a consumable to enhance the proficiency of Thousand Swords Art seemed like a waste of heavenly gifts;

“If I use it, I’ll be able to wear chainmail…” Song Jian thought to himself. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to use the skill scroll for himself;

A flash of purple-red light passed, and Song Jian didn’t feel any different. In his inventory, he had an epic-grade chainmail chest piece that had been unwearable, but now he could put it on;

Song Jian did not hesitate to switch to this chainmail. Not to mention other attributes, the defense and resistance alone surpassed two pieces of leather armor of the same quality. With a full set of such equipment, coupled with Song Jian’s fearsome attack power, he believed that even if he encountered a second-tier combatant, Song Jian would have the confidence to engage in a fight;

The other epic-grade item was not equipment either, but a fist-sized dark red seed named “Devil Vine.” Its effect was to allow a wood-type battle pet to ascend one tier and gain an additional effect called “Incidental Devil Vine”;

“Incidental Devil Vine? Isn’t that like a battle pet for a player’s battle pet?” Song Jian looked at the attributes of the Devil Vine and couldn’t help but smile; the Incidental Devil Vine could only attach to wood-type battle pets. If the wood-type battle pet died, then the Devil Vine would also perish, and even if the wood-type battle pet was resurrected later, the Incidental Devil Vine would not come back to life. Therefore, its primary use was to raise the tier of a wood-type battle pet;

Although Song Jian didn’t have a wood-type battle pet, in the Manor Castle, there was a bloodthirsty, sinister, toxic tree named Alex, which was actually the largest Guardian of the entire Manor Castle, much stronger than defensive structures like Arrow Towers and Catapults. Alex was already an Elite-Level BOSS, its root system so extensive that it spread throughout the underground of the Manor Castle;

Previously, Alex could only guard one wall, but now, all the walls of the Manor Castle, which is also the City Lord Mansion of the City of Hope, were covered with Alex’s robust root system, looking as if the walls were clad in a layer of hard armor;

If the Devil Vine was used on it, Alex would become even more powerful, and hence the defensive strength of the Manor Castle, and thus the City Lord Mansion of the City of Hope, would also be significantly enhanced;
