Chapter 412: Half-God Forgotten Serpent Fang

Deep within the vast, dark canyon.

Boom—

Accompanied by a violent source energy shockwave explosion.

A battle is underway.

A 182nd-level Superior Grand Master is locked in fierce combat at the canyon bottom with Ta Ke's Steam Star Phase Grand Masters!

This Superior Grand Master is clad in legendary heavy armor and dual-wields legendary heavy swords.

With each swing of the heavy sword, every strike harbors terrifying destructive power.

It shakes Ta Ke's Steam Star Phase Grand Masters, forcing them to retreat again and again.

This is a Forbidden Curse Heavy Sword Grand Master!

Against five foes, facing Ta Ke's five Steam Star Phase Grand Masters, he holds a huge advantage.

Ta Ke can fully sense the forbidden curse power within.

Fortunately, this is the Chaos Ancient Continent.

Ordinary rock and soil are several to tens of times tougher than superhuman alloy.

This is why the canyon hasn't collapsed.

Otherwise, it would have already been shattered.

Boom—

In the midst of the carnage.

This Forbidden Curse Heavy Sword Grand Master is indeed ferociously strong.

But Ta Ke's Steam Star Phase Grand Masters are no pushovers.

In both offense and defense, with the five working together, the Forbidden Curse Heavy Sword Grand Master's Master Form has sustained considerable damage.

The battle is in full swing.

"Whoosh!"

A sharp arrow suddenly swoops in.

"Oh no!"

The Forbidden Curse Heavy Sword Grand Master, having just swung a sword, secretly thinks it's bad.

The hidden sorcerer's timing is too precise.

Even if he detects it, it's hard to counter.

"Hiss!"

A huge arrow fiercely pierces the Forbidden Curse Heavy Sword Grand Master's cheek.

The shield of the previous legendary armor had already been shattered by these puppet grand masters, whose defense is extremely strong and attack not weak.

At this moment, the forbidden curse grand master fully ingests a sorcerous forbidden curse.

Boom—

Scorching flames, like a flood, pour into the heavy sword forbidden curse grand master's ecology.

The forbidden curse heavy sword grand master's heart sinks suddenly.

"What strong flames!"

"Go!"

Without hesitation, the forbidden curse heavy sword grand master immediately retreats.

An arrow piercing his master form's head is secondary.

Mainly, the flame contained in this sword directly scorches his master form, even reaching his master rank tree, which is the greatest danger.

"You think you can escape? Today you might not get away!"

Just then, a gloomy, cold voice sounded.

At the same time, the starry sky lights up, and a brilliant meteor fireball descends from the heavens.

The trajectory of that brilliant meteor fireball is unpredictable, and the terrifying World power erupts in all directions.

That terrifying world power makes the forbidden curse heavy sword grand master's heart sink suddenly.

This World far surpasses his world power; if suppressed...

He might not be able to escape.

Gritting his teeth, the forbidden curse heavy sword grand master immediately tears open a scroll.

Astounding legendary source energy erupts rapidly, covering his whole body.

Boom—

Bearing the violent roaring explosion of the meteor impact on his body.

The forbidden curse heavy sword grand master quickly flees the area.

Amid the clamor of the explosion's aftermath.

Ta Ke's projection flickers in and out of the darkness.

After confirming that the forbidden curse heavy sword grand master has fled.

Ta Ke deep in the passage then gradually withdraws his consciousness, but his projection remains hanging at the external entrance.

Ta Ke rubs his palms slightly and shakes his head.

"Those who entered Ertia Ancient God Dead Land are indeed tough to deal with, each having more trump cards than the last."

"The two guys I met a few days ago were like that, and today's guy is the same."

"Hmm! I also need to quickly acquire more trump cards, otherwise it will really be hard to obtain these top-tier treasures later."

Immediately, Ta Ke looks toward the barrier of the chaos ecology small world enveloped by steam ecology to the side.

It was about to be penetrated.

During the over two months that Ta Ke garrisoned this area.

Seven or eight supermundane beings successively discovered Ta Ke's garrisoned location.

Among them, three people obviously thought Ta Ke was a "soft persimmon" and wanted to pinch him, including the Forbidden Spell Heavy Sword Master who had just fled.

But they obviously picked the wrong target.

After being struck by Ta Ke, they all fled this place.

Ta Ke also wanted to directly kill them.

However, these guys really had means; they couldn't be beaten, yet they all managed to escape.

……

After a short while.

In the steam gray mist, the seated Ta Ke felt a slight stir in his heart.

Gazing at the rampart of the Chaotic Ecology Small World for a moment, Ta Ke showed a slight smile.

"Hah… this treasure trove can be considered opened."

After letting the Mirage Light Projection and the Steam Star Phase Master take up garrison duty.

Ta Ke came to the rampart and placed one hand on it.

As expected, the origin of this Chaotic Ecology Small World, with extremely strong defensive power, responded to Ta Ke.

"Hum!"

With the phase traversal descending.

Ta Ke directly entered this Chaotic Ecology Small World.

Ta Ke looked into the distance.

This Chaotic Ecology Small World is roughly the size of a medium supermundane state.

The whole world, like the outside, is barren and dazed, with vast expanses of desolate yellow soil and blackened stones exposed.

Only the steam energy gray mist supplied by Ta Ke during this period lingered in the rampart's passage area.

But after entering, it also quickly dissipated, being absorbed by the world.

Besides this, the aura of death, withering, and decay here is almost nonexistent.

This place has formed its own ecology to avoid the outside's death, sinking, and fragmentation.

Not having the outside's aura is also normal.

"Even more barren than imagined."

"Moreover… the entire world's power has gathered in the core region."

While examining closely.

Ta Ke walked toward the nurturing altar at the world's center.

Upon the natural nurturing altar.

Ta Ke saw the core treasure nurtured by this medium-sized "Chaotic Ecology Small World".

This is a spear-shaped fang about two meters long, porcelain white.

What made Ta Ke's heart race was that the porcelain-white sharp fang bore the trait of "demigod artifact material".

Ta Ke lightly touched the demigod artifact's meridian.

【Demigod·Forgetting Serpent Fang】

Divinity: 【Penetration】

"A demigod artifact material with the 【Penetration】 divinity!"

Ta Ke took a deep breath, Ta Ke's eyes flashed with spiritual light.

Although knowing he had arrived at the Etiya·Ancient God Dead Land, he was likely here to procure goods.

But at this moment, he easily opened the first treasure small world.

Ta Ke still had an unreal feeling.

"This treasure land is indeed full of treasures!"

Ta Ke slightly eased his mood, then looked again at the demigod artifact material.

"Such demigod artifact material can completely overhaul my legendary demonic ring staff, transforming it into a powerful 'demigod artifact ring staff'."

"At the same time, the demigod 【Penetration】 trait."

"It can let my piercing-type forbidden spell technique more effectively penetrate shields, master-state defenses, and demigod artifact armor-type defenses, thereby directly attacking the enemy's core sequence!"

"Such as my Forbidden Spell Star Eclipse Arrow, and my Forbidden Spell Steam·Light Feather Blade that, after inheritance, has transmuted and risen to 8-star level."

"All are forbidden spell techniques that can fully unleash the penetration trait."

"Moreover, my legendary ring staff itself possesses the god-shatter trait; after a god-shatter strike, strong penetration follows, maximizing the effect."

With such thoughts, Ta Ke's face grew ever more smiling.

"Although it's not material for my advancement."

"But this demigod artifact material is even rarer than a demigod artifact."

"If it were a demigod artifact, I would still need to actively adapt to its traits; if mismatched, using it would feel very awkward."

"But if it is demigod artifact material, I can actively forge it into my legendary ring staff, thereby creating a demigod artifact perfectly suited to myself."

"This amounts to a custom-made demigod artifact, which is far better than others' demigod artifacts."

"God of Forge and Artisan!"

Ta Ke's heart conjured the image of a divine spirit specialized in forging artifacts.

Although Ta Ke cannot forge, he can construct the ritual "Deity Possession" to complete the forging.

But!

Let the furnace and the God of Craftsmen lend a hand to help me forge a demigod artifact.

But this price is not small.

At least, Taku currently cannot afford this costly price.

Moreover, Taku currently only has one portion of core material; these auxiliary materials, at minimum, need to be prepared in two or three portions, in order to forge a demigod artifact belonging to Taku.

In his thoughts!

Taku gazed at this vast and safe chaotic ecological micro-world.

Here, this is a perfect safe stronghold.

Using this base as the core, we will continue exploration following the previous rhythm.

Furthermore...

Taku's eyes narrowed slightly, his heart grew heavy.

That forbidden black wind is about to dissipate; vast tracts of treasure base locations, including some treasure bases marked by many powerful explorers before, will gradually be revealed!

At the same time, those hiding many powerful individuals will also emerge one by one.

In other words, the bloody slaughter moment of the Death Whistle Canyon is imminent!
