Chapter 263: Military Strategist Divine Artifact Treasury

The Military Strategist Glory Armor set was taken out by Mu Yi from the Comprehensive Net.

Under the guidance of the Comprehensive Net's related power, it turned into a golden light that spread from Mu Yi's chest outward over his whole body.

In an instant, the light transformed into the outline of the armor set.

From thin to heavy, from dim to ferocious.

Soon, Mu Yi's entire body was covered in an extremely imposing, ferocious armor.

The red-and-black helmet, like the skull of a fierce beast, wrapped Mu Yi's head in layers.

The icy faceplate covered Mu Yi's face, making his murderous aura even more intense.

However, this did not affect Mu Yi's vision; on the contrary, after gaining the power bolstered by the armor, he could even see clearly things in more distant areas.

This was experienced even better in the open expanse of the Kunlun Mountain summit.

"That is..."

Mu Yi's gaze pierced the clouds, and he saw a strangely shaped bird flying toward him.

Its front half resembled an osprey, its back half like a hawk, overall looking somewhat like an eagle, but on its head grew a pair of huge horns like those of a goat.

"Insect Eagle?" Mu Yi recognized the identity of this bird.

"Classic of Mountains and Seas·Southern Mountains Classic": "Going east another five hundred li, it is Mount Deerwu; above there are no plants or trees, many metals and stones; the Ze geng water springs forth and flows south into the Pang River. In the water there is a beast, named the Insect Eagle; its form is like an eagle but with horns, and its cry is like that of a baby."

As a cookbook, the Classic of Mountains and Seas does not record the usage effects of the Insect Eagle; it can be said to be a relatively powerful class of strange beast within the Classic.

However, after careful observation, Mu Yi found that this Insect Eagle was weak, possibly having just reached the Transcendent level.

"Is it merely a slight revival of the bloodline?" Mu Yi narrowed his eyes.

The fusion of this world and Jiuzhou is deepening more and more; Jiuzhou's volume is too great, and even just the fusion has begun to affect the development of this world.

The bloodline of the Classic of Mountains and Seas has begun to rise again in the world; perhaps in the future I will see more divine beasts from the Classic, who knows.

"Wow!" Like an infant's wail, the Insect Eagle sensed Mu Yi's unhidden remark, let out a loud cry on the spot, swiftly turned around, and flew off into the distance without looking back.

Before he knew it, Mu Yi had also arrived; merely by gazing, he was enough to make enemies feel fear.

Having no interest in dealing with the Insect Eagle, Mu Yi withdrew his gaze and began to study the armor on his body.

Mu Yi tried striking the armor with his hand, continually increasing the force.

When the force reached its strongest,

"When..."

Instantly, the armor emitted a kind of muffled sound.

Mu Yi shook his hand, which had been jolted by the recoil force, and nodded satisfied.

The armor's protective performance is excellent; even without using Elite Talent and the Military Lord's blessing, it still possesses the characteristic of being extremely sturdy.

Faced with such a well-fitting and excellent armor set, Mu Yi could find no fault.

Open the Comprehensive Net, select its transmutation feature provided by the Comprehensive Net, and transform the Military Strategist armor set into a set of everyday clothing.

This is quite common on the Comprehensive Net, like a magical girl's transformation; only a single thought is needed to enter battle state.

However, it is worth noting that during transmutation, the equipment's protective performance is nearly zero, although the armor's bolster still exists; the user must carefully control this.

After adapting to the new state, Mu Yi continued to claim rewards.

The Military God's hand-copied classics are terrifying; almost every volume possesses a purple quality.

In theory, each classic could let Mu Yi comprehend an advanced military formation, but Mu Yi is no longer an ignorant novice; he knows that quantity does not equal usefulness.

He placed the classics into his backpack, planning to, after later opening the Military God's teachings, review them before participating in the Military God's lessons, accumulating his doubts so that he could later better absorb the new knowledge.

Although these items are not direct combat power boosts, their value far exceeds that of Mu Yi's Military Strategist Glory armor set.

Finally, this is Mu Yi's most anticipated main event at present—Divine Artifact Self-selection.

After opening the Military Strategist Sect's Divine Artifact Treasury, Mu Yi was transported into a huge treasury; once he could clearly see everything before him, he was instantly dazzled.

Called a treasury, it is more like a mountain.

Each Military God has some things they cannot use, which are then all thrown in here, serving as a storage depot for cultivating excellent reserves of the Military Strategist school.

Countless divine artifacts of various appearances are thrown here; each artifact occupies a region, and the higher the artifact's placement, the more miraculous it becomes.

Mu Yi pondered for a moment, then attempted to step forward.

The nearest to him is a huge sword that faintly emits an ominous aura, a monstrous great sword inscribed with countless characters that tightly bind it.

When Mu Yi approached, the great sword instantly emitted a pressure; at the same time, a desire for pure violence welling from deep within his heart continued in Mu Yi's mind.

After a moment of daze, Mu Yi's will surged, directly breaking the pressure and also suppressing his heart's desire for violence.

"Is this a test?"

Under the pressure, Mu Yi walked to the front of the great sword.

Sizing up the great sword before him, it is definitely not a high-grade divine artifact; even judging by its location, it should be the lowest existence in Treasure Mountain, yet even so, the miraculous aura it emits far exceeds that of legendary gear.

It is no less than the divine artifact fragments Mu Yi has previously obtained.

Mu Yi wanted to reach out to examine the great sword's attributes, but when his hand touched above the sword, he began to hear faint whispers.

Blood sacrifice to the Blood God! Skull offering to the Skull Throne!...

Pull me out, and I will grant you power……

You are the chosen one, and also the only……

This might be a common skill of evil gods; they can, in the form of something like thought waves, send out enticing tempting information.

These messages do not contain real information; they are transformed according to the recipient's inner desires.

When these whispers sounded, Mu Yi felt a fluctuation in his spirit; the other party tried to bewitch him, attempting to make him a slave of the artifact.

An evil and violent force spread from Mu Yi's sword-wielding hand.

At this moment, the air seemed to become viscous; Mu Yi felt as if he were in a sea of blood, as if somewhere deep in that blood sea a terrifying existence were beginning to awaken.

A huge shadow crawled up from the sea of blood, and right after it condensed from the void and appeared before his face!

Mu Yi lifted his head and gazed up at the huge shadow; although he couldn't see the full appearance, he could roughly judge that the other party should be a vampire?

"Military Strategist's ant, hand over your body, the great Scarlet Maker shall grant you eternal life!"

Saying that, the huge vampire revealed a ferocious smile and stretched out a big hand to cover Mu Yi.

Looking at the mountain-like big hand falling from the sky, Mu Yi had a feeling like when Sun Wukong was pressed under Five Fingers Mountain.

However, he is not Sun Wukong, and the other party is not the Buddha.

"Hmph!" Mu Yi let out a cold snort.

A blade flash suddenly appeared between heaven and earth, and the huge vampire was instantly split in two by the blade light.

"This is impossible, just a lowly ant..."

An unwilling roar sounded in Mu Yi's ears, and immediately the scene before his eyes completely disappeared.

"A mere defeated general also wants to bewitch people's hearts!"

Mu Yi looked down on the huge sword in his hand; the strange fluctuation had already disappeared, the accumulated thoughts sealed for so long were all cut off by Mu Yi's single slash, and to recover would probably require continuous time.

At this moment, several pieces of information refreshed on Mu Yi's retina:

"Warning: You have drawn the Scarlet Reaper, Scarlet Maker-Dracula-Jerisd has awakened from slumber..."

"Scarlet Maker-Dracula-Jerisd has released its power, the surrounding environment is being transformed into an extreme desecration environment..."

"Scarlet Maker-Dracula-Jerisd is attempting to forcibly erode your will, a will check is underway..."

The check was interrupted, Scarlet Maker-Dracula-Jerisd was severely wounded; within the next 7 days, you will not be eroded by the Scarlet Reaper.

You have obtained the weapon: Scarlet Reaper.

Scarlet Reaper:

Item Level: 25

Quality: Divine (Weak)

Type: Weapon/Two-handed Sword

Race Restriction: Vampire (non-vampires cannot unleash its full power)

Special Effects:

1. Scarlet Creation: Enemies attacked by this weapon will receive a bloodline curse, continuously undergoing erosion checks.

When the erosion check succeeds, the enemy will become your slave, unable to resist your commands.

When the erosion check fails, the enemy will suffer spell damage from the curse explosion, and the duration of the bloodline curse will be refreshed, undergoing a new erosion check.

2. Scarlet Harvest: Can absorb the life of bloodline slaves, converting their vitality into one's own vitality, and gaining permanent attribute growth.

3. Sealed: Scarlet Maker-Dracula-Jerisd is sealed within this weapon, bearing its final will, possessing great power, but therefore some of its functions are completely sealed.

When this weapon carries out slaughter and absorbs bloodline slaves, it lets Scarlet Maker-Dracula-Jerisd absorb some energy; when enough energy is accumulated, Scarlet Maker-Dracula-Jerisd will return.

4. Scarlet Burst (Sealed): Manipulate the blood of bloodline slaves to cause an indiscriminate explosion, inflicting bloodline curse on all attackers; this effect can only be used by vampires.

5. Evil God Erosion: When you hold this weapon, every 24 hours you need to make an erosion check (based on personal will).

The intensity of this erosion check will gradually increase as Scarlet Maker-Dracula-Jerisd's condition recovers; if the check fails, the character will be devoured by Scarlet Maker-Dracula-Jerisd.

PS: The Military Strategist's barbarian will not let you go — Scarlet Maker-Dracula-Jerisd.

It's obviously powerful; the effect of this Scarlet Reaper is unquestionable; if used well, in the previous goblin tide kind of sea-of-people world, perhaps one could directly slaughter through in a short time.

Its killing power against groups is almost beyond words, but its effect on individuals seems not very ideal.

Just from the grudge-filled curse of Scarlet Maker-Dracula-Jerisd, one can tell that probably a martial faction's Military Formation boss directly beat it to death in one go.

Not only did the person die, but even the corpse and soul were made into equipment and sealed in this place; in a sense, it is also an endless torment.

Probably... they did something that provoked heaven and resentment.

After glancing at the vampire-limited and sealed abilities, Mu Yi felt he had glimpsed some kind of truth.

Looking at the equipment information on his retina, Mu Yi did not stuff it into his backpack to take away.

He casually threw it back, and Mu Yi lifted his head to look toward the mountain top.

"Does this mean I should choose a divine artifact I can wield?"

Mu Yi fell into a dilemma; for ordinary people, choosing a divine artifact they can wield is indeed the safest approach.

After all, the recent experience completely told Mu Yi what kind of outcome using a divine artifact beyond one's limit would cause.

These sealed deities will not empathize with you; they only want to possess your body, thereby liberating themselves to return to the mortal realm.

But Mu Yi has another option: directly go to the mountain top, pluck a top-tier divine artifact, then throw it into the Jiuzhou Cauldron to see what good stuff can be made.

Recalling what he obtained from his previous few sacrifices, Mu Yi couldn't help but feel a bit eager to try.

Should he choose a top-tier divine artifact, or choose one he can wield?

In Mu Yi's heart, a heavenly-human struggle ensued; ultimately, the pursuit of reality still outweighed the gambler's mentality.

What he needs now is timely combat power; a good divine artifact will gain an advantage in the upcoming Legend battles.

Anyway, he will have another chance later; he will surely come back to this treasure trove!

Mu Yi climbed step by step toward the peak of Treasure Mountain, wanting to see where his limits lie.

Every distance he covered was, for Mu Yi, a trial.

One moment he seemed to be in a sea of fire, the next he stepped into a bitter cold land; each divine artifact was releasing its power in its own unique way.

The deities or instrument spirits sealed within the divine artifacts all appeared unusually irritable in the face of Mu Yi; Mu Yi's blatant Military Strategist aura made them feel extremely displeased.

"Wait, what is this thing?"

Mu Yi hadn't even completed one-third of the journey when he saw a book-like divine artifact, his face showing an expression of utter astonishment.

Unlike other divine artifacts, this one did not emit that kind of pressure when approached, nor did it emit any bewitching spiritual fluctuations.

Instead, it showed quite obvious obedience.

Mu Yi approached the book, picked it up with one hand, and there was nothing abnormal.

You have obtained a wondrous item—the Book of Life and Death!

Ah?

Mu Yi looked at the seemingly ordinary little book in his hand with some disbelief—how could the Book of Life and Death appear in such a place?

But the next second, Mu Yi also calmed down.

He had recalled from his memory the common knowledge about the Underworld that there are many copies of the Book of Life and Death.

Although the book in his hand is also a Book of Life and Death, it is actually, like the Ghost Gate fragment he sealed into the Reincarnation Barrier, a complete fragment.

Although this thing has a grand name, it is essentially just a toy of the great gods—even Sun Wukong had doodled on it back then, let alone the other great gods.
