Chapter 496: Ancient Divine Artifact!

【Sequence Blueprint·Ancient Divine Artifact】

Although Ta Ke knew the other party cherished his Chaos Star Core.

But after weighing it carefully, Ta Ke still nodded.

After all, he also cherished the other party's powerful Ancient Divine Artifact.

The Green Star Clan members who had been causing some trouble in the Divine Fire Forge area also lowered their banners, began all‑round defense, and dared not harass the attack any further.

"The more that are ignited, the more complete the ecological framework, and the greater the power."

Regarding the situation where the two major camps lowered their banners.

It might even not be slower than the growth efficiency of the 【Blood End Scythe】.

Ta Ke naturally welcomed this.

The Star Light Giants Camp and the Green Star Clan Camp entered a stalemate.

Next was a good opportunity for Ta Ke to digest many resources.

With the blessing of the Crystal World Tree.

After all, when had the Green Star Clan ever suffered such a loss?

"As everyone knows, an Ancient Divine Artifact inherently possesses a 【Divine Artifact Sequence】, just as we possess the 【Steam Legend Sequence】 and the 【Giant Sequence】."

Time had already reached Ta Ke's sixteenth year of secluded cultivation, which was also the eighteenth year since everyone entered.

The semi‑divine artifacts piled up in his hand were extremely numerous.

"The first Ancient Divine Artifact mastered by our Star Light Giants is oriented toward harvesting, possessing seven 【Divine Flame】 nodes."

Ta Ke obtaining several more Ancient Divine Artifacts would all be hopeful for constructing the 【Blueprint Sequence Seed】.

"This can be seen as a higher‑level promotion small passage; of course, it's only one‑sided assistance—just a single World Tree isn't enough."

This battle ended as expected, with Ta Ke and the Star Light Giants on one side winning a great victory!

But as Ta Ke cultivated and gained insight, he had no leisure to attend to the outside world.

Originally, it was merely to kill over three hundred Green Star Clan members and their affiliated peoples.

Silver Gleam Elder Giant Lei Mengsi continued to expound.

Ta Ke smiled.

In the ninth year of Ta Ke's secluded cultivation and insight.

And the twentieth year was the time when everyone would depart.

In the depths of the world‑layer vortex of the Civilization Sequence·Crystal World Tree.

"But… the human nations of the Chaos Ancient Continent at that time had probably already fallen."

Such powerful Ancient Divine Miracles growing up bring too many benefits.

"If you need more, for example…… an Ancient Divine Robe, we can also discuss it further."

Ta Ke, after a preliminary understanding of the forging cost of the 【Ancient Semi‑Divine Artifact】, relaxed a little.

"The second Ancient Divine Artifact mastered by our clan, oriented toward spellcasters, possesses nine 【Divine Flame】 nodes."

Even if Ta Ke caught them, the other side would only lose some time, while they themselves would be throwing away their lives!

"Cultivating here for a dozen years yields efficiency comparable to centuries outside; the improvement in Chaos Rune Mysteries is therefore extraordinarily exaggerated—in my cultivation, it's roughly just this amount of time."

That is truly a terrifying power capable of killing them.

Under normal circumstances, the Star Light Giants are unlikely to reveal too much about the sequence blueprint of the Ancient Divine Artifacts they hold.

Moreover, it is obvious that the Green Star Clan is in a strategic contraction defensive posture.

"Its 【Sickle Blade】 curse state itself possesses extremely strong reaping and devouring power."

"Those powerful Divine Spirits will certainly possess their own Ancient Divine Artifacts."

The 【Divine Shadow Dark Robe】 possesses seven 【Divine Flame】 nodes.

After elaborating on the 【Blood End Scythe】 in detail, it was evident that Ta Ke showed little reaction.

Xing Hen further tore the battlefield sky open with hundreds of rifts, deathly starlight blanketing the land.

"That is to say, as long as I can produce this great amount of materials and afford this sufficient compensation, I could forge two Ancient Divine Artifacts? Even more?"

As the standoff progressed, the two major forces gradually calmed.

Although the resources consumed by this Ancient Semi‑Divine Artifact are enormous.

Obviously, the high‑efficiency infiltration of the Steam‑Star Network Ecology played a considerable role.

"Hehe…… I also have this intention!"

Unbeknownst to them.

This battle alone slew over five hundred Green Star Clan members.

It is foreseeable that, with the 【Steam Ecology】 as a great killer, it will nurture an 【Ancient Divine Artifact Ecology】.

"Or…… do you only wish to have me forge one?"

"Fortunately, this time we encountered such a top‑tier treasure trove."

Silver Gleam Giant Lei Mengsi corrected.

"It possesses an astonishingly destructive star‑annihilation characteristic, like a star reaching the extreme of death, a nirvana explosion‑like destructive impact."

Thus it gathered a considerable portion of its strength.

"After all…… the Green Star Clan all intend to build their Green Star Sequence civilization ladder here."

Those possessing a sequence blueprint and capable of forging Ancient Divine Artifacts are not only the Star Light Giants.

Although there are still some minor frictions, large‑scale battles will obviously not occur again in the short term.

Moreover, there have even been several instances of the Green Star Clan's projection attacks on the vortex passage.

Still understand the price, have a clear idea before discussing anything else.

In the third year of Ta Ke's comprehension of the Chaotic Rune Profundity.

Facing this situation, many strong members of the Green Star Clan can still keep a clear head.

Ta Ke began his own Rune Profundity's latent cultivation.

That is the true fall.

Over three hundred mighty supporters from the Green Star Clan arrived in great numbers.

Even those towering Starlight Giants found ways to shrink their bodies, so that on the Civilization Sequence·Crystal World Tree they could engage in ecological cycles with this wondrous Crystal World Tree, accelerating their own Rune Profundity comprehension.

"Its name—Star Nian Divine Staff."

Ta Ke's name resounded across the battlefield.

"More importantly, with my talents allocated to the utmost height in all aspects, this also lets my comprehension of Chaotic Rune Profundity be hardly constrained by any checkpoint."

In the past they always chased others to fight; never have they been chased to be killed?

"If one has to fight the Green Star Clan for nearly a hundred years, there is no doubt that the Scythe of Blood's End works better."

But soon, the Starlight Giants began to gather strength for a counterattack.

"To truly cultivate into an ancient artifact is still very difficult."

Floating Island Star Nest, half a Divine Fire Furnace Zone, a small portion of Ancient Source Curse Tablet Zone, are in the hands of Ta Ke Lamor and the Starlight Giant forces.

"Hmm?"

"Is the efficiency of this improvement really this astonishing?"

Regarding this situation, Ta Ke was naturally very satisfied.

This battle elevated Ta Ke's reputation for deterrence in this forbidden divine land to a higher level.

And after the initial ecological cycle was achieved.

"The more one can cultivate its artifact ecology, the more powerful the ancient artifact's might can be manifested."

As the time to depart gradually approaches.

Moreover, the ecology of the growing Ancient Artifact is truly powerful.

Silver‑glow old giant Leimengsi began to speak slowly.

In a secluded corner, Ta Ke delicately felt the astonishing effect after the Crystal World Tree's empowerment.

430 Cycle State!

440 Cycle State!

450 Cycle State!

……

"Hope this latent cultivation can break through the 500 Rune Cycle State, or even… reach a higher level."

"Breath…"

"Thus, a powerful Ancient Artifact possesses its own sequence blueprint framework with artifact ecology, allowing it to undergo sequence inheritance."

Obtaining these Ancient Artifacts is equivalent to obtaining artifact ecology seeds.

"Among them, the Divine Flame Node is the key."

Most of the Ancient Source Curse Tablet Zone and half a Divine Fire Furnace Zone are in the hands of the Green Star Clan.

"If one were to steam‑ecology‑transform this wondrous Crystal Tree world ecology, perhaps one could gain deeper capabilities and traits for constructing ecological civilization sequences."

At this moment, Ta Ke finally understood why so many of the Green Star Clan and their dependents had hidden here before.

"This is also the biggest distinction between Ancient Artifacts and our own sequence civilization."

Being killed by others merely loses a segment of the legendary sequence.

Whether forging a powerful "Ancient Artifact" or cultivating latently on the Civilization Sequence·Crystal World Tree, both require time.

Although along the way, Ta Ke has not shied away from plundering resources from the Green Star Clan.

But the resources Ta Ke has stockpiled over the years are also considerable.

In addition, Ta Ke is willing to contribute a portion of Chaotic Star Cores to cooperate with the Starlight Giants.

"It requires constantly using the power of stellar ecology for cultivation."

About half an hour later.

Even if Ta Ke does not act lightly.

In this battle, Ta Ke's projection displayed great might.

61.223.137.245

It can even be said that using Chaotic Star Core as one of the core materials to forge an Ancient Artifact has a remarkably perfect compatibility with Steam Ecology.

"If Your Highness Ta Ke possesses enough resources and is willing to pay sufficient price, you can fully forge two and a half artifacts."

After a moment of feeling, Ta Ke gradually reined in these thoughts.

The moment he sat down, Ta Ke felt his ecological cycle seemed to connect with the Crystal World Tree.

"It can also serve as a medium for releasing divine curse and forbidden curse power."

After a period of cultivation, Ta Ke also merged it with Steam Ecology, then placed it into the Divine Realm·Mystic Ancient House for Steam Ecology incubation.

"When the seven Divine Flame Nodes are all completed, the true Ancient Artifact—Scythe of Blood's End—will be born in your hands!"

Silver‑glow giant Leimengsi was momentarily stunned, then seriously said.

The two sat cross‑legged on a branch of the Crystal World Tree.

"Basically, a powerful Ancient Artifact is the standard gear of deities!"

The siege of the Green Star Clan stronghold slowly drew to a close.

Star scars tore the heavens, starlight poured down, interplaying with the forbidden calamity blood flame.

"Before that, I think it's better to first obtain two sets of Ancient Half‑Artifact forging materials and the associated rewards, and to study them in detail."

It was about three months later that Ta Ke returned.

"Its growth speed is fast; with your strength, you can easily ignite it into a true Ancient Artifact—the Blood‑End Scythe."

After this battle.

Ta Ke then used the unique power of 【Steam World】 to penetrate the artifact ecology of the Star Nier Divine Staff.

"Do I have to choose one or the other?"

When he obtained the 【Star Nier Divine Staff】, Ta Ke sensed this.

Not only does it stabilize the Divine Nation's ecology.

"Although the difficulty of comprehension increases over time, as my strength advances, the tier of the transcendent ecological position rises step by step."

"To boost the amplification ratio by such a staggering amount, it truly lives up to the rumors about the Divine Forbidden Land."

Although it did not cause any major impact.

Many Green Star Clan members fled when faced with Ta Ke.

And Ta Ke also brought back an Ancient Half‑Artifact 【Star Nier Divine Staff】.

More importantly, this powerful Ancient Artifact with artifact‑ecology traits, once Ta Ke cultivates it, can in the future give rise to entirely new sequence blueprints within its ecology, thereby forging new Ancient Artifacts.

According to his knowledge, the World‑Tree elves from Fuluola of the Cosmic Mountains also possess certain Ancient Artifact sequence blueprints.

If they cannot be cultivated, there's no point in hoping to spawn lesser artifacts from a great artifact.

A silent undercurrent rose again within the massive vortex of this Divine Forbidden Land.

Many of the strong ones who fought the Starlight Clan were now seated atop the Civilization Sequence: Crystal World Tree.

"If you wish to wage a protracted war with the Green Star Clan, spanning thousands or even tens of thousands of years of cultivation, then the Star Nier Divine Staff is a very suitable choice."

"Forging can only ignite a single Divine Flame Node; what you obtain is merely an Ancient Half‑Artifact."

After all, misusing or even exploiting the ecology of an Ancient Artifact truly invites backlash from the artifact's ecology.

The Green Star Clan's closely related tribe suffered over two hundred more deaths.

Moreover, Ta Ke's actions clearly exerted massive deterrence.

Ta Ke Lamor's projection does not joke with them.

And Ta Ke, during this standoff, evidently provided great strategic deterrence.

"Each 【Divine Flame】 node is equivalent to an Ancient Half‑Artifact."

Ta Ke smiled and said.

As the siege of the Green Star Clan's stronghold concluded.

He slew several powerful top‑tier Green Star Clan elites.

"This efficiency is indeed astonishing."

It possesses an initial Steam ecological cycle.

"In other words, the sequence blueprint of Ancient Artifacts—these are the supreme mighty artifacts that possess their own ecological will."

Of course, the premise is that the wondrous ecology must be cultivated.

Those strong figures of the Green Star Clan's factions also dare not easily enter the territories controlled by the Starlight Giants.

"The speed of comprehension's progress is also remarkably astounding."

The great war a dozen years ago, due to Ta Ke's involvement, caused heavy losses for the Green Star Clan, so both sides lowered their banners and ceased hostilities.

The operational efficiency of the Chaotic Rune Profound has increased by more than seven or eight times!

This wondrous feeling gave Ta Ke a slight tremor in his heart.

And the silver‑radiant Giant Remons, seated opposite Ta Ke, also prepared himself and began to speak slowly.

"Among the several Ancient Artifact sequence blueprints currently mastered by us Starlight Giants, two are particularly suitable for Your Highness Ta Ke!"

Ta Ke obtained a defensive Ancient Half‑Artifact.

Around the Civilization Sequence: Crystal World Tree.

The cultivation efficiency of the Star Nier Divine Staff is far higher than Ta Ke had anticipated.

Two offensive Ancient Half‑Artifacts, and one defensive Ancient Half‑Artifact Divine Robe.

But at this time they sought Ta Ke's help; naturally, they wish to forge as many powerful 【Ancient Artifacts】 as possible in cooperation with Ta Ke.

"However, once one can deeply master this ancient artifact, its unleashed power will be astonishingly great."

But this ecologically active "Ancient Half‑Artifact" undoubtedly costs far more to forge than a regular Half‑Artifact.

Moreover, this "Ancient Half‑Artifact" is the "artifact‑ecology embryo" of an Ancient Artifact.

And Ta Ke naturally also took part in this battle.

"It possesses terrifying potential."

It must shine anew in the current new‑version Steam Era.

Ta Ke can obtain three powerful "Ancient Half‑Artifacts."

The entire Divine Forbidden Land began to grow restless.

Upon hearing this, a hint of joy flickered across the silver‑radiant Giant Remons' brows; today it seemed he had met a great patron.

However, a top‑tier Green Star Clan elite who suffered heavy losses was clearly very dissatisfied with the clan's disadvantage.

After retrieving the 【Star Nier Divine Staff】, Ta Ke placed it into the Chaotic Star ecology of the Divine Nation's Miraculous Ancient House, allowing numerous Chaotic Star Cores to cultivate it ecologically.

The second step of 【Steam World】 broke down the barrier between the Steam ecology and the Artifact ecology, smoothly promoting their mutual integration.

In his thoughts, Ta Ke gathered his mind and began to immerse himself in the comprehension of the Chaotic Rune Profound.

"Now my Chaotic Rune Profound has reached the 422‑cycle level, and with my rank advancement, I have entered the mid‑tier Legendary level."

Consequently, atop the towering massive Crystal World Tree, legendary strongmen are perched everywhere.

But they were killed by Ta Ke!

This ancient version of the 'Primordial Divine Artifact' that was born in the Ancient Era.

The most obvious sign is that battles in the outside world have begun to increase.

"It's roughly like having 8.5 times the previous comprehension efficiency!"

Several days later.

In the brief period of the Green Star Clan's assault, several star-light giants were slain, and many of those who resisted were crushed by them.

"Senior Lei Mengsi, we can actually discuss this in detail."

And using the Chaos Star Core as payment.

"Moreover, seven Divine Flame Nodes are not much inferior to nine Divine Flame Nodes."

As long as one puts in hard work and cultivates in seclusion, they can still regain their strength.

After the Steam-Chaos Star and the Star-Nie Divine Staff, which possess the ecological traits of the Divine Fire faith, complete their ecological cycle.

But evidently, many who have gained something, or strong individuals whose strength has greatly increased, are becoming increasingly restless.

"Well... not exactly; forging a Primordial Semi-Divine Artifact requires not only an enormous amount of materials, but also a surprisingly large payment."

"Even reaching the threshold to condense a Divine Spirit Crown at 500 Ring States is no problem, and it could possibly be higher."

"Compared to the Blood-End Scythe, which can quickly boost and ignite one's own Divine Flame Nodes through slaughter, the cultivation cycle of the Star-Nie Divine Staff is very long. Of course... if you possess more Chaos Star Cores, using them to nurture the Star-Nie Divine Staff is also quite good."

"If one were to seclude themselves and contemplate for three to five thousand years, needless to say, the Chaos Rune Supreme Principle can certainly reach an extremely high level."

"Compared to our current Divine Artifact system, Primordial Divine Artifacts consume vast resources, and mastering their ecology is also extremely difficult."

Speaking, the Silver-Glow Giant Lei Mengsi whispered his account.

"Only the first Divine Flame Node can be ignited through forging; the subsequent six Divine Flame Nodes require the wielder to engage in battle and slaughter, even to complete the 【Harvest】, before they can be ignited."

"Although initially forged as a Primordial Semi-Divine Artifact, it possesses the ecological foundation of a Primordial Divine Artifact."

The Old Star-Glow Giant Lei Mengsi informed Ta Ke that Ta Ke should go to a furnace in the Divine Fire Smelting Zone to deliver the Chaos Star Core and handle matters related to the forging of the Primordial Divine Artifact.

Ta Ke's comprehension efficiency is astonishingly fast.

Ta Ke pondered briefly, then looked up at the elderly Star-Glow Giant before him and asked.

He even wanted to seize back the ancient civilization's treasure resources hidden deep within the vortex passage of the Forbidden Land.

Just avoid being backlashed by the Divine Artifact's ecology, and we can thank heaven and earth.

"It is a Primordial Semi-Divine Artifact!"

This scene made Ta Ke unable to help but imagine the effect after the defensive Primordial Divine Robe and the Primordial Divine Artifact Blood-End Scythe, which excels at slaughter and harvest, fuse ecologically with the Steam Ecology.

Life-and-death struggles, the essence of factional conflict, the law of the jungle—these gradually emerge in this Forbidden Land.

And this, precisely, is the true face that the Forbidden Land ought to have!
