Chapter 150: Gifts

Zhou Heng was not aware that his actions had actually attracted the attention of a God King in the God Realm.

He had merely observed the remains inside the crystal; it was indeed a fragment of a Divine Artifact, but its compatibility with him was not particularly good.

After finishing with the crystal, Zhou Heng looked at the massive ivory and pressed his finger onto the bloodstain on it.

As his Spirit Vision activated, Zhou Heng saw a blood-red figure standing with a sword.

The dark-red figure was very tall, yet did not appear all that robust.

The figure wore a suit of blood-red armor, upon which some kind of special inscription was faintly carved, and the scarlet longsword in its hand seemed to be the center of the entire world.

Countless Divine Beasts charged toward the blood-red figure, and the dark-red figure wielded its sword to strike down the countless Divine Beasts.

A massive divine elephant charged angrily at the figure, a pair of huge tusks wreathed in golden light stabbing toward the dark-red figure.

The dark-red figure used its sword to sever one of the tusks, the blood-red sword Qi completely vaporizing the broken part, but the remaining tusk pierced into the dark-red figure's body.

Yet, even though the giant elephant had exhausted all of its strength, the single remaining giant tusk had lost most of its power after piercing the dark-red figure's armor, leaving only a minor wound on the dark-red figure's body.

The dark-red figure swung its sword in silence, the blood-red giant sword cleaving the giant elephant into two, and terrifying Divine Power shattered the giant elephant's body into fragments of various sizes.

The broken tusk, stained with the dark-red figure's blood, fell from the God Realm, crashing into the depths of the Douluo Continent like a meteorite.

"Is this a scene of the Asura God fighting a Divine Beast?"

Although he understood that the blood on this giant ivory came from the Asura God, one of the five God Kings, Zhou Heng did not develop any interest in the ivory because of it.

Because this ivory was extremely incomplete; not only had it been damaged by a Super Divine Artifact while in the God Realm, but over the passage of time, the blood belonging to the God King on it had long since lost the vast majority of its miraculous properties.

Regarding the ivory, Zhou Heng's assessment was that it was useful, but of little use.

While it couldn't be called "gold and jade on the outside, rotten cotton on the inside," it wasn't as precious as it looked either.

If he wanted to study the Asura God, Zhou Heng could easily go outside Slaughter City and take a look from a distance; that place had things like the Killing God Domain that were directly related to the Asura God.

The three items carrying Divinity were of no use to Zhou Heng, so he had no choice but to shift his gaze to a special metal nearby that was coiled around a stone pillar like a vine.

Zhou Heng pressed his hand onto it, and the metal originally coiled around the stone pillar reacted immediately, emitting a special attraction that attempted to draw life force and soul power from Chen Ming's body.

Feeling this magical property, Zhou Heng's eyes lit up; he relaxed his defenses slightly and took the initiative to feed it a portion of his life force and soul power.

Only, within this life force and soul power, Zhou Heng added a tiny bit of his own Spirit.

As the metal digested a portion of the soul power and life force, Zhou Heng could feel a connection gradually forming between himself and this metal.

Although he still did not know the name of this metal, Zhou Heng could faintly sense the properties of this special metal.

This metal possessed the special attributes of devouring and assimilation; it could grow by absorbing external soul power and life force, and change into different attributes depending on the growth environment.

It not only possessed extremely high plasticity but also the ability to assimilate; as long as the conditions were met, this metal could absorb other substances and obtain a portion of their corresponding abilities.

Although its current strength was not particularly outstanding, Zhou Heng could feel that as long as he injected enough soul power and life force into it, this metal would continue to improve over the coming period of time.

This metal was less of a metal and more of a special metallic lifeform.

If it hadn't been dug out from underground, who knows, perhaps in the future it might have become a powerful Spirit Beast comparable to a Divine Beast.

The bit of metal before his eyes looked unremarkable, just some golden threads coiled on the stone pillar.

But Zhou Heng estimated slightly that these metallic threads were likely the result of over ten million years of growth.

Zhou Heng cut a few openings on his palm, and then, under the gaze of everyone, pressed his palm onto the metal, actively using his mental power, life force, and soul power to infect this metal.

As the metal, which had originally been slightly golden, gradually gained a hint of blood-red, Zhou Heng was already able to control the metal coiled on the stone pillar.

With a shift of his will, the metal coiled on the stone pillar began to contract, moving from the stone pillar toward Zhou Heng's arm at a speed visible to the naked eye, finally transforming into a bracer with blood-red and gold colors on Zhou Heng's right wrist.

"Uncle Ning, this is the first item I've chosen." Zhou Heng greeted Ning Fengzhi and continued walking to the side to start picking.

Deep Sea Sinking Silver? No, Hai Shen Dao has a pile of it; if I need to use it, I'll just go to Hai Shen Dao and scrape some off.

Ten-thousand-year Mysterious Ice Iron? No, although this stuff is rare on the continent, there's likely plenty of it underground in the Extreme North; with my current Extreme Ice attribute, I can go to the Extreme North to mine it in the future.

But Zhou Heng remembered that although this thing wasn't as good as the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal, it was supposed to be a type of companion product to the Ten-thousand-year Mysterious Ice Marrow, right?

He was quite curious about where the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had dug it up; if there was a chance in the future, he also wanted to study top-tier treasures like the Ten-thousand-year Mysterious Ice Marrow.

Red Sun Gold, pass; Three Origin Iron, pass; Dragon Sun Gold, pass.

After picking for a long time, Zhou Heng still hadn't chosen a target, and in the end, he could only place his gaze on that purple crystal; after all, this crystal was a god's inheritance, and he still had the Heavenly Tribulation lightning that could be called Ultimate Thunder; at worst, he would just use this Godhood as nourishment for the Godhood he wanted to condense himself.

Watching Zhou Heng's selection, Ning Fengzhi was somewhat surprised; he had thought Zhou Heng would choose the ten-thousand-year Green Jade Bird stone statue.

After all, although it looked like it couldn't be used, it was, after all, a genuine ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast.

Every Spirit Master who came here had basically had designs on the Green Jade Bird stone statue.

At the beginning, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had collected six Green Jade Bird stone statues over a thousand years, three of which were discovered in the same nest.

The Sect Master of that generation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect dismantled one of them, preparing to study it, but in the end, they discovered that these petrified Green Jade Birds were just large ornaments. In the end, five stone statues remained in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's warehouse.

After Ning Fengzhi became Sect Master, he paid attention to these stone statues. After getting stuck at level 79 to the point of madness, Ning Fengzhi found a way, looking for a few special Spirit Masters to try and see if they could open the Green Jade Bird stone statue, attempting to extract the ten-thousand-year soul bone inside, wanting to try to forcibly break through to level 80 by absorbing the ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast's soul bone.

The result was just one more half-broken Green Jade Bird in the warehouse waiting to be scrapped.
