Chapter 2143

Qian Sha let out a painful wail.

He used 5 Venerable Saint Artifacts and 4 Perfect Ancestral God Treasures for fusion casting; the base score was 500+160, only 560, then adding 800 points from 8 Supreme Treasures, totaling 1360, still far from the 1601 points needed for Eternal Unique.

"You're too impatient; actually obtaining the Supreme Forge doesn't mean you must cast immediately—wait a bit for stronger gear, and you can reach Eternal Unique quality." Xiao Feng felt regret for him.

Qian Sha gave a bitter smile: "I thought ten 8th‑rank Supreme Treasures were enough, but I didn't expect the fragments of Super Supreme Treasures to be even stronger; had I known, I shouldn't have synthesized those two 9th‑rank Supreme Treasures. Moreover… sigh, do you think Venerable Saint Artifacts are easy to get? I'm not you—I've hardly seen any Venerables, and these five I have are pieced together from everywhere, obtained only after begging grandparents and grandmothers."

"You synthesized two 9th‑rank Supreme Treasures? Do you have enough fragments?" Xiao Feng was somewhat surprised.

"Enough—I'm now at floor 4500 with surplus. Oh… I almost forgot to tell you, your Myriad Heavens Tower score has already been surpassed by me!" Qian Sha explained, saying this, he couldn't help feeling a little proud.

"Er..."

Xiao Feng froze upon hearing.

No wonder this guy could forge the Supreme Saint Artifact—turns out he passed floor 4500 and obtained the Myriad Things One‑Qi Flame.

"Your comprehension value is this high?" he couldn't help asking.

Qian Sha gave a hehe laugh: "I've lived three thousand years longer than you, so my comprehension is naturally not lacking. My Slaughter Law now has over 1.4 million comprehension points, far exceeding what floor 4500 requires. Otherwise, where do you think I get all this health and attack?"

"I'm convinced, this

guy truly convinced…"

Xiao Feng couldn't help clicking his tongue.

Over 1.4 million comprehension points……exceeds his strongest material law by over 900,000.

As expected of the Evil Realm's Dao Ancestor's direct disciple, this strength is indeed terrifying!

"If we get a chance to spar again, although my Supreme Saint Artifact took a loss, the two 9th‑rank Supreme Treasures I just synthesized are pretty strong—I feel we could exchange a few more moves." Qian Sha issued an invitation to spar.

Xiao Feng responded: "Sure, we'll talk later if the chance arises. By the way, I have a question I'd like to consult."

He remembered the important matter.

"What question?" Qian Sha asked.

"It's the Slaughter Tome—how many copies have you found?" Xiao Feng asked directly.

"Oh, this—I don't have many either, only 355 pages, still lacking nearly two‑thirds." Qian Sha spoke frankly, answering succinctly.

"Emmm…"

Is this called not many?

One person's collection amount exceeds the combined totals of the leaders of over ten districts!

"At this rate, you won't possibly finish collecting in two years, will you…"

Xiao Feng said in a low tone.

Qian Sha gave a hehe laugh: "Indeed possible; I and several friends from the Giant Beast Clan and Stone Civilization are also gathering this—heard they each have dozens of pages, plus reserves from other players, I estimate the 999 fragments have all surfaced now. By the way, how many do you have over there? If suitable, let's discuss a trade."

"We only have… huh, that's not right."

Xiao Feng was about to report a number.

But after thinking again, he realized the number seemed off.

"What's wrong?" Qian Sha asked.

Xiao Feng said: "Our side has several dozen pages, the Giant Beast Clan and Stone Civilization each have several dozen pages,

you have over three hundred, adding up to at least over five hundred, right?"

"Hmm, then what?"

"Then… I haven't tallied the collection of everyone in our alliance zone; I only asked some familiar friends. If we look at the whole human civilization, I estimate 200 pages would be unbeatable."

"Emmm… now that you say it, I also feel something's off." Qian Sha realized.

Based on this rough estimate, Qian Sha alone plus humanity gives over 500 pages; the Giant Beast Clan and Stone Civilization fully tallied should also not be less than 300 pages.

Then there are the Plant Civilization, Water Civilization, Insect Clan, Machine Clan, and Divine Clan—these major civilization factions, each averaging at least over a hundred pages, right?

That number would definitely exceed 999 pages!

"If we don't speak we don't know; once we speak we're startled—could the Slaughter Tome's fragments really be far more than 999 copies?" Both felt doubtful.

Xiao Feng thought and inferred: "This item is a fragment object, not a fixed page number inside a book. 999 fragment objects combine into one complete Slaughter Tome object via zero‑to‑whole conversion, not by arranging pages 1 through 999 in order. So…"

"So the system might have issued far more than 999 fragment objects to prevent players of all races from refusing to relinquish them, thus the Slaughter Tome could never appear." Qian Sha continued.

This moved both of them somewhat.

So speaking of this, how many fragments exactly has the Myriad Heavens Battlefield dispensed?

Can we synthesize two Slaughter Tomes? Three? Even

or more?

Or perhaps it's just 1,997 fragments, giving some leeway for synthesizing a Slaughter Tome; but after making one, the remaining fragments can at most reach 998, insufficient for a second copy.

"I feel I need to speed up my collection… Brother, could you sell me your zone's fragments? I cultivate the Slaughter Law, which is naturally the most suitable study for the Slaughter Formation. Our ancestor also said I must gather the fragments to synthesize the Slaughter Tome." Qian Sha made this request to Xiao Feng.

Originally Xiao Feng wanted to approach him to buy fragments, but the other party's fragment quantity is absurdly high, and he's been focusing on gathering these years.

Compared to that, Qian Sha is indeed more suited to study this pseudo‑8th‑rank, actual 9th‑rank Secret Art.

But… I'm somewhat unwilling.

Today I just saw Qian Sha forge the Supreme Saint Artifact, and now I'm about to send him fragments—am I not making an enemy for myself?

Although we are friends now, on the Myriad Heavens Battlefield there will surely be a day of competition.

The Myriad Races Hegemony is measured by planetary war zones; not to mention Qian Sha, even Shen Chuo, a good friend of the same human faction, could become a rival.

In the face of planetary interests, personal friendship is comparatively unimportant.

But…

If the Slaughter Tome's fragments are truly many, then even if Xiao Feng doesn't give his ten pages to Qian Sha, Qian Sha will still succeed in gathering them from other channels.

"Should I do him a favor by giving the pages, or compete with him on progress to see who finishes first?" Xiao Feng had a question in mind.

If he mobilizes all his connections to gather, he could probably quickly collect two or three hundred pages, putting the human faction's holdings

Most of the fragmented pages have been collected.

But wanting to gather 999 copies remains extremely difficult.

This problem is still quite troubling.

"Let me think, I've been worried about the Star Lord lately; thinking of the Book of Slaughter, it's because I learned from the controllers that this skill has huge potential, and I want to see if I can learn it as an assassin's truncheon." Xiao Feng said.

Qian Sha, hearing this, replied: "Star Lord... I've also heard of it, but I haven't understood it clearly from my recent time in the Tower of Myriad Heavens; however, it seems quite troublesome. If you need it, I can fight alongside you to add some chance of victory."

Xiao Feng said: "The Star Lord's clone is nothing to fear; mainly, his true body reaches level 3300, and I'm not fully confident I can defeat it. Even with you together, it would be very difficult. Therefore, compared to that, I need a stronger skill to boost myself."

Qian Sha understood immediately.

Qian Sha hesitated for a moment, then replied: "If you want the skill, I have an unused inheritance scroll here; inside is a dungeon, and after clearing it you can also obtain an 8th‑rank Secret Art."

"You mean..."

Xiao Feng was somewhat tempted.

Qian Sha smiled: "Give me 333 fragmented pages in exchange."
