Chapter 248

In the ruined wreckage, the tail tentacles that He Luo Shen had regrown tangled together madly, wrapping around the only head and strangling each other.

The souls of the Qingting Emperor and He Luo Shen, torn by the Spirit of Revenge, used He Luo Shen's body as the battlefield and engaged in a deadly struggle.

They tore at each other, each trying to kill the other; the emperor had the aid of the Dragon Vein, while He Luo Shen fought with his true body, each having advantages, and the Spirit of Revenge became the final straw that broke the camel's back.

After He Luo God tore the Qingting Emperor's soul into fragments, the Spirit of Revenge turned back and began to tear at He Luo God's soul.

They have completely lost their reason, becoming vengeful ghosts, instinctively hunting any soul that appears near them.

And He Luo God's shattered soul can no longer stop these evil spirits, only able to sink together with them into the hell of tearing and biting.

"I never expected it to end like this!"

Mu Yi looked at He Luo God, who had fallen silent before him, and an inexplicable expression appeared on his face.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; one link follows another.

This is the war involving the Legend; an entire city was almost completely destroyed, leaving only ruins.

Without giving He Luo God any buffer time, Mu Yi, after recovering his state, pressed his palm seal onto He Luo God's body.

"Animal Realm, seal!"

In an instant, a huge sound rang out; He Luo God, unable to resist, his massive body plummeted into reincarnation.

Countless chains instantly tightened, pressing He Luo God into the Animal Realm Barrier; the turning Six Paths began to madly wear away everything of He Luo God.

Each rumbling turn of the Six Paths Wheel scrapes a bit of vitality from its body, continuously draining He Luo God's divine power and vitality accumulated since ancient times.

Holding the Holy Sword, Mu Yi walked into the barrier.

Without hesitation or wavering, the Holy Sword pierced He Luo God's skull, penetrating his soul and flesh.

"It's over!"

Death energy and vitality intertwined, suddenly erupting with the aura of reincarnation.

In the final wail, He Luo God's soul completely dissipated!

Those spirits of revenge also, under the pull of the Reincarnation Barrier, went to the Hell Path; through the fire of incineration they separated resentment and proceeded to reincarnate.

The sky, which had constantly been drifting with white snow, had now completely calmed; the heavy clouds began to crack, and a ray of sunlight poured down from the gaps.

"Is it over?"

Lily rose from the ground, looking around at the ruins, feeling a bit wistful.

"It's over!"

Mu Yi nodded, then immediately shook his head.

"Our journey has ended, but for them, this is only just beginning!"

With the downfall of He Luo God, the aberrant creatures almost all died; for this world, perhaps this is an opportunity to reshuffle.

Mu Yi silently gazed at the ruins before him.

Their journey has ended; now it's time to leave.

A new prompt appeared again on Mu Yi's retina:

"Dungeon cleared detected; proceed with settlement?"

"Yes."

"Settling the dungeon..."

"Based on dungeon evaluation, you received the maximum base universal experience reward of 60,000 points."

"Based on your dungeon evaluation, you received 50,000 Zongwang Disaster Coins as reward."

"Except the Five Harms task not fully completed…… you have gained recognition from multiple Heavenly Gods and Earth Deities; based on the objective being incorporated into the Heavenly Court and Underworld system, your faction reputation in Jiuzhou has increased……"

"Based on He Luo God's identity…… Da Yu's favorability toward you increased, currently (friendly)…… correspondingly, the Flood Faction reputation decreased, currently (hostile)…… when entering the Da Yu Water Control Elements dungeon, the faction is automatically assigned to the Da Yu Faction."

"Drawing rewards..."

"You obtained the Nine-grade Water God Title, gaining Water Vein Power; you may choose an unclaimed river to place the title!"

"You obtained the Nine-grade Mountain God Title, gaining Earth Vein Power; you may choose an unclaimed mountain peak to place the title!"

"You obtained the item: Mountain Water Seal (Legend)."

Mountain Water Seal:

Item Level: 20

Quality: Legend

Type: Curio

Special Effects:

1. Mountain Water: This curio can gather earth veins and water veins, possessing the ability to condense earth-vein essence and water-vein essence; the gathered earth veins and water veins require control rights.

2. Summon Mountain, Call Water: This curio can release the gathered earth veins and water veins after a standard action; after release, the earth veins and water veins cannot be reclaimed for a short time.

ps; This effect will affect the speed of condensing earth-vein essence and water-vein essence, and will cause the earth-vein essence and water-vein essence to be consumed.

3. Mountain Water Seal: A character can select an earth vein or a water vein to lock; when the character and the Mountain Water Seal are on the same plane, it will remain activated.

Furthermore, after the character actively activates this ability, it will transform into a flying unit to conduct a directed bombardment on the area selected by the character.

ps: Warning, please ensure you are outside the bombardment range!

"Zongwang Important Notice: You have slain the Legendary creature He Luo God; you have obtained Legendary Glory - He Luo God Fragment *1."

Legendary Glory - He Luo God Fragment (Water Deity Bloodline):

Item Level: 25

Type: Consumable

Description:

After use, the character may trigger the following events:

1. The character has a certain probability to gain 100,000 universal experience points;

2. Characters have a small chance to obtain a random skill promotion; the selected skill will be directly raised to its current limit.

3. Characters have an extremely low chance to acquire a new Legend ability.

ps: A Legend ability requires the character to meet the corresponding minimum attribute standards before it can be fully mastered; before that, the character can only exert part of that Legend ability's power.

4. Characters may directly obtain the bloodline template contained in the fragment (provided the template's conditions are met).

"Based on He Luo Shen's level, within Jiuzhou you will receive an information display, and you will obtain a large amount of legend points, the exact amount depending on the propagation effect!"

"You have obtained Legend Glory; in all Dungeons and campaigns, your status is considered equivalent to a Legend!"

"You have completed the hidden quest 【Break and Then Establish】; you successfully participated in and led a major change on this Plane, and your Plane interference level is 83%."

"Your Plane interference level meets the requirement; you receive a gift of Plane consciousness!"

"You have gained a new specialization — 【Inner Pill】."

【Inner Pill】: You can convert Inner Qi into Inner Pill power for storage; the maximum stored Inner Pill will not exceed your maximum Qi.

As the information on his retina refreshed, Mu Yi felt a round, smooth Inner Pill forming inside his body under the guidance of a special force; the overflowing Inner Qi no longer spread outward, but surged inward to be stored.

In a sense, it is a portable energy storage device?

The Dungeon's gains were about what Mu Yi expected; there weren't many substantial rewards, but many things were incalculable, and those seemingly useless faction reputation and favor were his most fulfilling gains this time.

However, compared with those, the clear awareness of the gap between his own strength and Legend, and what he lacks, is Mu Yi's core realization.

Legendary creatures differ from half-step Legend creatures; the difficulty of confronting them jumps dramatically.

The siege engines and tools Mu Yi prepared in advance were of no real use, and even dealing with Jia Xian was difficult.

The Thunder God Crossbow and Fire God Crossbow could not even inflict fatal damage on Jia Xian; practice and theory diverged significantly.

The two missiles even exploded directly when dealing with Huang Xian, only achieving a clearing effect.

In the face of the Comet Technique, these things are as embarrassing as Heterodox Paths.

Only Six Paths and Great Army Cloud proved useful in this war.

Mu Yi has many tasks after this Dungeon, but he is not in a hurry.

What he learned on this journey is only one thing: patience.

Because they were too hasty, they fell into the Qingting Emperor's scheme in ignorance, almost suffering a disastrous failure and regretting it.

Although luck was on their side, who can guarantee that next time luck will still be on their side?

Mu Yi opened his item bag and mailed the Nine-tailed Fox Plush to the little fox who had fallen in battle early.

This shows that the auspicious lucky fox indeed brought them good fortune, and now the item should truly return to its original owner.

Before the Nine-tailed Fox became a symbol of disaster, it was also a symbol of auspice, truly capable of bringing unexpected luck.

Mu Yi is unsure whether this luck was plotted by the Nine-tailed Fox Owner, but he knows he may owe the Nine-tailed Fox Owner another favor.

He then opened the item bag and took out a crystal emitting a strange golden hue.

It looks like gold, but its radiance is extremely stable.

When Mu Yi lifted it, Thousand-mile Eye glimpsed the golden glimmer beneath its radiance, and Transcendent Perception sensed the peculiar power within.

It is somewhat like the divine crystal that previously unlocked Thousand-mile Eye, but its power flickers unpredictably, as if it could change at any moment.

The whole crystal in his hand exuded a peculiar warmth, as if a warm force continuously flowed out of it.

This is the special reward Mu Yi received for slaying He Luo Shen: Legend Glory — He Luo Shen Fragment.

Its value is high; even the lowest Universal Experience reward is a hefty prize, and a subsequent free Legend ability further raised his tier.

As for the limited bloodline template and such, they are meaningless to Mu Yi, since He Luo Shen's bloodline seems completely unrelated to his.

Being in the main world, Mu Yi's luck need not be worried about, so he hesitated little before directly using that faintly glowing Legend Glory fragment.

The faint golden light scattered from Mu Yi's hand, turning into countless firefly‑like golden specks that swarmed into his body, like a powerful torrent of energy washing over his limbs and bones.

Zongwang Prompt: You have obtained a new Legend ability — Know Destiny!

Know Destiny:

Full condition: Transcendent Perception, and at least one Transcendent ability of the perception type (satisfied).

Effect: The character gains additional (perception‑based) evasion and attack advantage bonuses, and also receives extra (perception‑based Transcendent attribute) buffs to related active and passive abilities.

It is a strange ability; Mu Yi silently feels this new power, which seems to be the future of his current development, so that while sensing it, he finds he can wield almost all of its might.

Luck plays a huge role at this moment; the power brought by the Glory fragment becomes the force Mu Yi already excels at.

"This feeling…"

Golden light swirls in Mu Yi's eyes, and under the coordination of Know Destiny, Thousand-mile Eye's divine sight sees some different scenery.

For example, the future a few seconds ahead…

Mu Yi tries to familiarize with this feeling; after using this power, he feels like a spectator standing outside the Time River, able to preview countless possible futures.

Although brief, this ability is addictive.

However, the addiction is short‑lived; Mu Yi quickly awakens from this state, and suddenly sees nothing.

When Mu Yi emerges from this state, he finds his Inner Qi has been rapidly depleted during the future‑observing process.

He should know that he is currently in the main world, where recovery speed is several times faster than normal, yet even that speed has been drained.

"The consumption is too great!"

Mu Yi frowned; like the Time Confusion power, it involves the force of time, and this involvement turns consumption into a bottomless pit.

Unlike Time Confusion, Time Confusion's power mainly derives from Divine Foot Technique among the Buddhist Sect's Six Divine Skills; after being adapted into an Elite Talent, it becomes simpler, with the greater burden falling on the body.

But Know Destiny is different; this power is too terrifying.

During the activation of Know Destiny, as long as there exists a future that can achieve Mu Yi's desired outcome, he can methodically attain that future.

Mu Yi repeatedly tries to use this power and eventually discovers that it has a huge flaw—not a flaw of the ability, but his own flaw.

He cannot control the prediction time of this ability; each foresight of the future varies, though generally within three to five seconds.

Mu Yi feels this may remain unsolvable even after reaching Legend, as this matter touches a level of knowledge beyond his comprehension.

Opening the treasure chests in the Dungeon, I found nothing good; after all, they were just a pile of epic chests, and what came out of them is now hardly worth Mu Yi's attention.

After all, for Mu Yi now, only legendary items are worth looking at; everything else is merely sacrificial offerings used to worship heaven.

Clenching his fists, Mu Yi knew he still had a long way to go before reaching legendary status; back when he could slay a legendary being, it was only thanks to the aid of the gods' power.

Only after truly relying on his own strength and his team to challenge a legend did he realize what kind of existence a legend is.

Even though He Luo Shen's power is not considered an ordinary legend, after all, being heavily injured, it is roughly equivalent to an ordinary legend practitioner, and even slightly surpasses it.

But finally, he now has the qualification to challenge a legend, has obtained the ticket to intervene in the legend's battle, and is no longer an ant before a legend.
