Chapter 675

The various talents and magical secret techniques of Lords have a great amplification and benefit to troops.

It can even help them reach their peak period, or even break through growth limits.

For troops born of heaven and earth, this is a very powerful temptation.

Especially legendary plant life.

They themselves have no concept of a tribe and are few in number.

All their skills rely on talent, and there is no place to learn.

Humans are their mentors!

Also being legendary high-tier, untrained troops find it very difficult to pass the God-level tribulation.

Signing a cooperation contract, the troop and the Lord are partners; it's just that the soul core has a connection, and they can accept rule enhancement, but they cannot issue mandatory orders.

Of course, the World-Extinguishing Black Lotus, which has mastered the seventh level of the domain, has no demands on Zhao Xing; the reason it is willing to sign a cooperation contract is entirely because of the influence of the Dark Venerable.

After following a Lord for a long time, they also consider themselves a part of the Empire.

"Alright." Zhao Xing extended a wisp of spiritual imprint toward the World-Extinguishing Black Lotus.

Seeing this, the World-Extinguishing Black Lotus revealed its true form.

It has 12 lotus leaves as black as ink, with eerie spikes at the tips.

The center has no lotus pod or lotus seeds, but instead a pale golden sphere.

"Chirp chirp~"

The Black Lotus also differentiated a portion of its soul, merging it with Zhao Xing's spiritual thought.

Subsequently, it turned into two copies, just like a contract in duplicate, each returning.

"I am willing to serve you for ten thousand years, never betraying, nor blindly following; if I cannot break through to the Void Prince level after ten thousand years, I will regain my freedom."

The voice of the World-Extinguishing Black Lotus echoed in his mind.

At the same time, Zhao Xing's voice also echoed in the soul of the World-Extinguishing Black Lotus.

"I will not be stingy with what I have learned, I will never blindly issue orders, and I will also abide by my promise; if I cannot break through to the Void Prince level after ten thousand years, I will set you free."

At this point, Zhao Xing felt a strong connection with the World-Extinguishing Black Lotus.

The cooperation contract was reached!

The look in the World-Extinguishing Black Lotus's eyes toward Zhao Xing was no longer as cold as before.

Because the wisp of spiritual power Zhao Xing transmitted was exceptionally powerful, not at all like a Sunlight-level, already exceeding many Void peaks.

Following such a Lord, it has hope of reaching the height of the Dark Venerable in the future, and can even protect it during the tribulation.

"Black Lotus, please take care of me from now on." Zhao Xing smiled.

Although he could let the Time God Tree subdue the other party, doing so would likely cause unnecessary trouble; if it were wild, then subduing it would be fine.

But the World-Extinguishing Black Lotus is completely different; to a certain extent, those who are willing to wait here are all heroes who are selflessly contributing to the Empire!

"This is my duty." The true form of the Black Lotus transformed back into a cold young man wearing black robes, and he nodded.

At the same time, Zhao Xing also learned the information about the World-Extinguishing Black Lotus.

As a legendary high-tier, the World-Extinguishing Black Lotus has two powerful talents.

One is Dark Lotus Flower: increasing the affinity for Dark Rule comprehension, allowing the World-Extinguishing Black Lotus to naturally reach 'Dark Rule Controller' as soon as it makes a move; in the growth stage, the Dark Domain was born.

The second is Dance of Death: every lotus leaf contains powerful dark power; self-destructing a lotus leaf can briefly obtain a super-high power bonus, exerting 10 times the power of its own body, but it requires a long time and energy supplementation to regrow.

Of course, this talent is just a simple explanation.

In fact, after 150,000 years of growth, staying next to the Dark Venerable, the World-Extinguishing Black Lotus has mastered many secret techniques and skills.

For example, the Dark Domain is already at the seventh level of the domain and has evolved into the 'Destruction Domain'!

Originally, its limit was only nine lotus flowers, but the Dark Venerable let it consume many dark-type treasures, so the current World-Extinguishing Black Lotus has 12 leaves.

If it unleashes the Dance of Death, it can obtain a 120-fold all-around bonus!

As for secret techniques, the World-Extinguishing Black Lotus has participated in the 'Black God Star Stele,' and there are hundreds of secret techniques related to the Dark Rules.

"This is completely a Venerable-level combat power, and it can act freely, leaving my domain very far away."

"Black Lotus also possesses a treasure called the Dragon Blood Underworld Lamp, which belongs to legendary high-tier equipment."

Zhao Xing couldn't help but sigh at the deep foundation of the Dark Venerable.

"Zhao Xing." The Black Lotus pointed to the other directions on the continent: "The master had several Venerable-level life forms following him before he passed away, and I am just one of them."

"This world still has two legendary-level ones left."

"They also each possess a legendary-level piece of equipment."

"Oh?" Zhao Xing was stunned. "The Dark Venerable actually left behind so many inheritances?"

"Of course." The Black Lotus said lightly, "But you must also pass the test before they will be willing to sign a contract with you."

"What are their names?" Zhao Xing asked.

"The one entrenched on the Eastern Continent is named Thousand-Eyed Qianmu Qianmu Liuli, possessing a legendary-level secret treasure, the 'Tuoluo Realm.' It can enhance its secret techniques and domain."

"The one entrenched on the Western Continent is named Golden Brake Tree, skilled in the Metal Rule Domain, close-combat style, possessing the legendary-level secret treasure, the 'Soul-Suppressing Nail'."

"How is their strength?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Naturally not as good as me." The Black Lotus's tone was calm. "Although they have lived for 20 years, they are only legendary mid-tier, each mastering 6 levels of domain."

"You have already accepted the master's inheritance."

"In the same world, if you can pass all the tests, you can take away everything, not limited to one item. It's just that you can only take from this world, not just one thing from this world."

"If you don't take it, you will waste this opportunity and also cause some sequelae."

"For example, in the future, someone who doesn't get along with you also enters here and gains the allegiance of Thousand-Eyed Qianmu Qianmu Liuli and Golden Brake Tree."

"I, Thousand-Eyed Qianmu Qianmu Liuli, and Golden Brake Tree know each other's advantages and flaws."

"I understand." Zhao Xing nodded. "I will do my best."

…………

Zhao Xing rested for a while and first came to the Western Continent.

In the center of the Western Continent, there was a burly middle-aged man.

Half of his body was stuck in the ground, with golden light rippling around him.

Every ray of light was extremely dazzling; it was only because his application of the Metal Rule Domain was very profound that it made people feel stinging pain even from far away.

When the World-Extinguishing Black Lotus and Zhao Xing appeared together, the middle-aged man stuck in the ground was obviously somewhat surprised.

"Black Lotus, what is this?"

"Golden Brake, he passed the test left by the master; I have already signed a cooperation contract with this Beihe Lord, Zhao Xing." The Black Lotus said calmly.

"Hmm?" Golden Brake was quite surprised. "Actually able to pass your test? Beihe Lord Zhao Xing, right? Come, come, come, let's exchange a move."

"As long as you can take one of my moves without being knocked away, I am also willing to serve you for ten thousand years."

The Golden Brake Tree stared at Zhao Xing with fiery eyes.

They have also stayed here for a long time and are actually very eager to go out.

But hindered by the orders left by the master, they have been unable to leave and can only wait for a suitable successor.

They have already been waiting here for ten thousand years.

"The test is just to take one move?"

Zhao Xing looked at that golden domain.

"Yes." Golden Brake smiled. "Isn't it very simple?"

Zhao Xing was speechless.

I am a Plant Lord, what kind of ghost is close-combat taking a move!

However, inheritance tests are all kinds of strange and bizarre things.

The Empire drew a standard line for these big shots, for example, requiring geniuses to reach a certain level, so as not to easily hand things out.

Then these big shots danced wildly on the standard line, playing out all kinds of settings.

Asking a Plant Lord to fight close-combat is not even the most outrageous.

In the dozens of Venerable-level worlds Zhao Xing explored before, there were even ones that asked Exotic Beast Lords to analyze the mechanical structure of a certain divine weapon.

But that Venerable was actually a Martial Arts Lord.

A Martial Arts Venerable set a rule: if an Exotic Beast Lord enters, they must learn mechanical drawing and, according to the structure of that divine weapon, build a new piece of mechanical equipment...

The level of absurdity is comparable to using an excavator to stir-fry dishes.

"Fine, then let's try."

Zhao Xing still had some confidence in his divine body.

After obtaining the Purple Light Order, the physical body could no longer be considered a weakness for him.
