"I won’t work for them in exchange for raw stones."
Modus spoke up at the right moment, his eyes filled with disdain and contempt. He usually hesitated, but not in this matter. There was no hesitation at all.
"Oh."
Ye Mingqiu casually responded, without stopping his steps or even turning his head, he simply threw out a question:
"Is there a God in this world?"
Adira was momentarily stunned, then said, "I don’t know, but on the surface, there shouldn’t be."
"Without divinity, I am invincible."
Ye Mingqiu said simply and directly, without any deliberate display of majesty or menacing aura, but his voice exuded absolute self-confidence, as if he surveyed the world from above.
"So, you intend to seize...."
"Seize? What do you mean seize?"
Ye Mingqiu turned around and said, "Clearly they stole what belonged to me while I was asleep, I’m merely reclaiming what should have been mine."
"...truly worthy of being the Blood Erosion Tyrant."
Adira said.
Modus listened silently to their conversation, a tempest stirring in his lowered eyes.
His grip on his sword tightened, unsure if he was acknowledging this brutal truth, suppressing some conflicting belief deep within his heart, or contemplating something else entirely.
At that moment, a deafening roar echoed from the front, accompanied by a dull trembling of the earth!
"Boom!"
A massive beast barreled through the dense forest, carrying a sky full of snowflakes, blocking the path of the three.
It was a white-furred giant ape towering over ten meters tall, muscles knotted like rocks, tusks protruding, its crimson pupils burning with violence and hunger.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!..."
It pounded its frost-covered chest with huge fists, producing a drumming sound, its terrifying pressure spreading like a tangible wave, causing the snow on the trees to fall like a cascade.
[Frost Giant Ape (Level 10 Dominator)]
[Race: Ape]
[Life: 25000]
[Four-dimensional Attributes: Power: 320, Agility: 300, Constitution: 350, Spirit: 128]
[Ability: Fierce Beast Soul... (omitted)]
This is the Dominator Level Ferocious Beast in the Frost Speech Forest, the Frost Giant Ape.
As a ferocious beast, its intelligence and rationality are notably inferior to a normal dominator, but correspondingly, the other three-dimensional attributes of the Frost Giant Ape are very high, even among ordinary dominators, it is of the highest level.
Yet... still too weak!
Ye Mingqiu directly ignored Adira, standing with her lute ready to cast, and Modus, holy sword drawn and ready to act at any moment.
He walked straight toward the Frost Giant Ape, his steps unhurried, his gaze calm and unruffled.
"Roar!!"
The Frost Giant Ape was infuriated by his actions, as a ferocious beast, it could not bear the feeling of being provoked by such a puny creature. The enormous power difference made the animal instincts of the beast unable to sense danger.
It roared, raising its massive fist like a siege hammer, carrying terrifying power and frost, smashing down at Ye Mingqiu, the impact of the punch forming a snowstorm from the ground’s snow, transforming into a small-scale ice and snow storm!
"Boom!!"
After the muffled explosion, the storm and snow veil dissipated.
Ye Mingqiu still stood in place, unharmed, without even assuming a defensive posture, merely raising his hand to easily and effortlessly block the giant fist of the Frost Giant Ape.
Immediately, shock filled the crimson pupils of the Frost Giant Ape, an intensely terrifying feeling surged from its heart.
Ye Mingqiu looked up, the terrifying aura no longer hidden, descended like a crimson storm, making the air turn murderous, as if invisible blades lurked in the wind, gradually slicing through everyone’s body.
He blocked the Frost Giant Ape’s fist with one hand, while the other grasped a void, the Blood Spear in the storage space appeared, the entire spear dark red, with a fierce look, firmly held by him.
"Poom!"
The Blood Spear flashed with a dark red light, emitting a sound like a heartbeat, the blood crystal patterns also exploded with sound, entwining around Ye Mingqiu’s arm, fusing man and weapon as if one.
"Hoo~"
Ye Mingqiu exhaled a puff of white air, as, in the frightened and desperate eyes of the Frost Giant Ape, he swung the Blood Spear, a series of intensely focused blood-colored slashes erupted instantly, momentarily disappearing like a thunderflash in mid-air.
There was no earth-shattering explosion, no shrill scream.
The dominator of Frost Speech Forest, the Frost Giant Ape, froze after Ye Mingqiu’s spear strike, several obvious blood lines appeared on its body surface.
It seemed to try to move, but the moment its muscle twitched, the body shattered, its body tissues scattered, blood mingled with innards and hot blood staining the white snow red, the high-temperature blood emitting white mist within the Frost Speech Forest.
[Tip: Congratulations on obtaining Dominator Level Treasure Chest - Frost Giant Ape]
Oh? An extra gain.
Ye Mingqiu smiled, put away the Dominator Level Treasure Chest, after his strength increased, the drop rate of treasure chests had decreased significantly compared to before.
This is because, in the Spirit Realm, to prevent some spiritualists from relying on their strong powers to indiscriminately massacre weaker entities and disrupt balance, the drop rate is lowered when there’s a significant disparity in strength.
After all, the Spirit Realm is for trials, the world needs to accommodate different spiritualists, if someone were to massacre the world resulting in ecological imbalance, it would be difficult to use subsequently, the Spirit Realm aims to prevent this scenario as much as possible.
Of course, in the event of war or to combat calamities and other unavoidable circumstances, necessary treasure chests would not be in shortage, the drop rate would not lower, but instead, increase.
In encounters with events like Ancient God Calamity, Black Tide, or Evil God invasions, it boosts drop rates to encourage spiritualists to eliminate these threats.
"Szzz!"
Ye Mingqiu casually plunged the Blood Spear into the fragments of the Frost Giant Ape’s body, the Blood Spear emitted a slight hum, ravenously absorbing the life energy contained in the ape’s blood, its blood crystal patterns flickered and glowed.
Soon, the Frost Giant Ape’s body fragments shriveled up in a short time, and the Blood Spear converted the energy absorbed from the ape, turning into a scarlet force that flowed into Ye Mingqiu.
[Tip: The Blood Spear back-fed you with a pure bloodline energy, Life Limit +200, Ice Attribute Resistance increased]
A mosquito leg enhancement.
Ye Mingqiu retrieved the Blood Spear, at this point, his Life Limit had become so high that absorbing the life energy of ordinary dominator level creatures barely boosted it, as his health bar was more than twice, almost three times longer than this Frost Giant Ape.
However, enhancing elemental resistance is still quite nice, as resistance accumulates over time, each individual boost may seem minor, but collectively it can become substantial.
"...."
Beside him, Adira and Modus stood silent for a long while.
They couldn’t help but recall Ye Mingqiu’s words from not long ago, without divinity, he is invincible.
Perhaps, this was not boasting, but stating a fact, in the absence of divinity’s arrival, he seemed truly invincible.
Interesting!
Adira stepped forward swiftly, smiling in admiration: "As expected of the Blood Erosion Tyrant, easily achieving what we couldn’t, eliminating the Frost Giant Ape in a single strike... it was the top dominator in Frost Speech Forest."
"Take me to find the raw stones."
Ye Mingqiu said simply and directly.
"Alright! Alright! According to the information, the Elf Detection Institute is in this direction, just a few hundred meters more, and we’ll be there. There should be raw stones inside, but..."
"But what?"
"The Elf Detection Institute has raw stones, and since they haven’t been taken yet, there’s likely some special protective device inside, it might take a bit more effort."
"But with your power, that kind of thing should be resolved soon enough, right? Haha!"
"Mm."
Ye Mingqiu replied, his gaze looking into the distance, faintly sensing some unusual aura, a sensation akin to a curse.
