Free Web NovelChapter 272: Chapter 153: Divine Spirit Investment
RUMBLE...
A terrifying power that shook one’s very soul spread out in waves.
Ripples of energy even spread out from the Upper Rank Level Ancient God Curse area.
For a moment, the many Transcendents attacking the Crystal Wall Nests all turned to look in the direction of the astonishing power.
"It’s the 14th-floor area."
"Someone actually dared to go to the 14th-floor area? I heard only the Calamity Court Knight and the Starry Sky Swordsman are qualified to go there."
"Judging from this Evil Witch Spiritual Ability, it’s obvious it’s that incredibly strong Evil Spirit Wizard."
"Everyone was saying that Evil Spirit Wizard had astonishing methods and an extremely high potential ceiling. I never thought he’d actually dare to go to the 14th floor and risk it all for that level’s Ancient God Curse."
"Heh... he might not be just ’risking it all.’ Judging by this terrifying eruption of power, he’s more than likely going to succeed."
"This eruption of an Ancient Evil Energy Divine Curse is truly something else."
"I’m afraid that power is already touching Level 15 Sequence Level!"
"Back when this Evil Spirit Wizard was Level 10, he already possessed the destructive power of a Level 12."
"He just advanced to Upper Rank Level 11. With a major transformation like that, he should have gained at least two levels of power. Add on the Divine Kingdom - Angel Armament, and reaching the power of a Level 15 Sequence Level... isn’t that perfectly normal?"
"That’s true!"
"Possessing the power of a Level 15 Sequence so soon after advancing to Upper Rank Level is truly astonishing."
Ancient God Curse Tower, 14th Floor.
As Tarktos’ Hand continued to unleash its power,
Not far away, the Starry Sky Swordsman, Abigail, and the Calamity Court Knight, Joshua, also watched the unfurling Ancient God’s Hand with grave expressions.
The sheer power radiating from the Ancient God’s Hand was already stunning enough.
More importantly, the Evil Spirit Wizard looked as if he was handling it with ease.
CRACK... CRACK... CRACK...
Before long, the Crystal Wall began to crack, and numerous fissures appeared.
Zorn quickly dissipated the Ancient God’s Hand.
Then, he struck it sharply with his Shattering Spirit·Skull-Splitting Fist.
BOOM!
The nest’s Crystal Wall shattered instantly.
It revealed the Ancient God Curse Magic Ring Seed inside, which looked like a purple sphere of ball lightning.
Zorn reached out and collected the Ancient God Curse, still in its seed form.
"Got it!"
Zorn said with a faint smile.
Meanwhile,
the Upper Rank God guarding the Crystal Wall tower of Ancient God Curse Seeds was also using his projection to observe everything inside the tower.
’Hmm! This kid is only Level 11, yet he can already unleash such a potent power from his Tree of the Magic Ring.’
’And the power of his Tree of the Magic Ring is quite impressive. He clearly started cultivating his Tree of the Magic Ring very early on.’
’Also... there’s a hint of a Divine Kingdom’s aura.’
’Whether it’s an Original Divine Kingdom born from a Sequence, or a Divine Kingdom of another person that he discovered, it’s a powerful Divine Kingdom regardless.’
’This Evil Spirit Wizard has a rather impressive foundation.’
’He’s worth investing in!’
As Zorn flew down slowly after obtaining his Ancient God Curse, the others who had advanced with him had also reaped their own rewards, such as Upper Rank Level Ancient God Curses, Ancient God Secret Techniques, and so on.
At that moment, many eyes were fixed on Zorn.
There were many envious gazes, and some even secretly resolved to surpass this powerful Evil Spirit Wizard before them.
After obtaining their Ancient God Curses, this group of over one hundred geniuses with the Divine Kingdom - Angel Armament would enter a period of secluded cultivation and improvement.
In the future, they would travel to various parts of the Divine Kingdom, pursuing their own journeys to power.
Without a doubt, the competition between them was about to raise the grand curtain on the coming Chapter of the Mythical Wave.
...
「Floating Island.」
After passing through the Divine Kingdom Passage, Zorn slowly placed the Space-Time Disaster Thunder Echo he had acquired at the base of his Tree of the Magic Ring.
By now, the Tree of Calamity Magic Ring had grown so large that it seemed to block out the sky within a certain range.
GURGLE... GURGLE...
Standing here, Zorn could feel the Tree of the Magic Ring rooted deep within the Divine Kingdom.
It was absorbing the roots of different Worlds through the "Calamity Boundary Land" while also drawing from the source within the Cosmic Demon Pool.
Black threads swiftly descended.
They wrapped around the Space-Time Disaster Thunder Echo, which then hung like a fruit beneath the Tree of the Magic Ring.
The Space-Time Disaster Thunder Echo was not alone; the two Crown Forbidden Curses Zorn had previously obtained were also enveloped by the threads of Calamity and left to hang beneath the Magic Ring Tree.
Through nourishment from the Cosmic Demon Pool, Zorn could not only continuously strengthen them, but also raise the level of these Forbidden Curses and the Ancient God Curse.
More importantly, by establishing a connection between the Tree of Calamity Magic Ring and the Upper Rank Level Ancient God Curse, Space-Time Disaster Thunder Echo, Zorn could begin to construct his own "Rune Magic Ring."
Although it was said that even without an Ancient God Curse, a Transcendent could, after advancing to the Holy Crown rank, resonate with their Tree of the Magic Ring to comprehend and form a "Rune Magic Ring" on their own.
But! Being able to construct a Rune Magic Ring earlier naturally came with immense benefits.
He levitated cross-legged over the sand flowing beneath the Tree of the Magic Ring.
Zorn contemplated his future training plans.
’In a little less than half a year, I can go get my third Crown Level Forbidden Curse.’
’The various resources I harvested from the Star Trace Spirit Realm battlefield have been processed over this period.’
’Right now, I have a total of 32,000 Star Trace Coins.’
’While this is certainly a decent amount of wealth, the Upper Rank Level Ancient God Curse I just obtained is incredibly resource-intensive.’
’Investing this money into the Upper Rank Level Ancient God Curse can get its level to a little over 3.’
’Without more resources for the later levels, I’ll have to slowly grind my way to Level 4 on my own.’
’And...’
As he thought, Zorn rubbed his palm.
’The real major expense will still be the investment in the Tree of the Magic Ring and the Rune Magic Ring.’
’When it comes to constructing the Rune Magic Ring, slowly progressing through my own comprehension is fine, but it would be very inefficient.’
’Magic Ring Spirit Fruit.’ freёwebnoѵel.com
The exclusive training resource of the Krypton Gold Players couldn’t help but surface in Zorn’s mind.
"Magic Ring Spirit Fruit" not only contained a dense source from the Tree of the Magic Ring, which could accelerate the tree’s growth,
but most importantly, a "Magic Ring Spirit Fruit" could greatly enhance a Transcendent’s affinity with their Rune Magic Ring, making it easier to form and solidify.
However, "Magic Ring Spirit Fruits" were extremely expensive.
A single, ordinary "Magic Ring Spirit Fruit" was worth around 50,000 Star Trace Coins.
And the even rarer "Essence of Magic Ring Spirit Fruit" was worth a staggering 200,000 Star Trace Coins.
Right now, Zorn couldn’t even afford a single "Magic Ring Spirit Fruit" with all his Star Trace Coins combined.
And this was precisely why Zorn and the others needed to go out and take on duties after advancing to the Upper Rank Level.
They had to earn money and find their own ways to secure the resources for their training.
Although the Divine Kingdom was vast and wealthy, it couldn’t possibly provide an unlimited supply of resources for everyone.
After reaching the Upper Rank Level standard, the Divine Kingdom’s cultivation resources took care of the acquisition of crucial resources like Ancient God Curses and Forbidden Curses.
At the same time, Zorn also benefited from the "Sequence Essence" provided by the Divine Kingdom, which meant he didn’t have to worry too much about leveling up.
However, Transcendents had to find ways to obtain training-type resources on their own.
The higher one’s level, the more staggering the demand for resources became.
’I originally thought that if I performed well in the Divine Kingdom’s arena, other Legendary figures or Divine Spirits would invest in me.’
’It seems I was overthinking things!’
Zorn shook his head and rubbed the bridge of his nose.
Just as Zorn was about to start his training, a force knocked on the barrier of his Floating Island.
"Hm? Is someone visiting?"
Zorn immediately headed outside.
Whether it was for future expeditions into dangerous lands or for the sake of convenience and ease of movement within the Divine Kingdom, Zorn’s choice for his third Forbidden Curse was a "projection-type" Witchcraft.
At the Lower Rank and Middle Rank Levels, projection-type Witchcraft was rather mediocre.
But after advancing to the Upper Rank Level, it could play a significant role.
...
As soon as he opened the barrier-gate of the Floating Island, Zorn saw Lord Aster, a smile on his face.
"Zorn, your performance in the Ancient God Curse Tower was outstanding. An Upper Rank God greatly admires you. That Lord Upper Rank God is willing to invest 5,000,000 Star Trace Coins in you!"
Hearing this, Zorn was overjoyed.
5,000,000 Star Trace Coins was enough for him to buy 100 "Magic Ring Spirit Fruits" and advance his Rune Magic Ring by a huge margin.
"Additionally, after Lord Ossirion heard about this, he is also sponsoring you with an extra 1,000,000 Star Trace Coins."
"This time, you’ve obtained a total of 6,000,000 Star Trace Coins in funding."
Zorn took a deep breath and said,
"Thank you very much for Lord Ossirion’s support."
"And may I ask who the Lord Divine Spirit willing to sponsor me is...?"
"It is Lord Chronovat. He is a Weaver of the Divine Kingdom Crystal Walls. The Crystal Wall structures of many of the Divine Kingdom’s towers were woven and constructed by Him," Aster said crisply.
Zorn nodded solemnly.
"I will train hard and not disappoint Lord Divine Spirit Chronovat."
"These 6,000,000 Star Trace Coins are indeed a substantial sum. I will transfer them to your Divine Kingdom Floating Island account. You can just pick out and purchase resources on the Divine Kingdom’s Spirit Net."
"Yes!"
"Alright, focus on your training!"
"Five years from now, you will have to begin serving in a Divine Kingdom post."
"This doesn’t just apply to you; it’s the same for all the other recipients of the Angel Armament from your batch."
"They are all your most direct competitors."
"I understand!"
Zorn nodded solemnly.
He returned to his Floating Island.
Soon, Zorn received the transfer from Lord Aster—a total of 6,500,000.
The extra 500,000 Star Trace Coins were Lord Aster’s own personal investment in Zorn.
Looking at this massive sum of 6,500,000 Star Trace Coins,
Zorn’s eyes narrowed, and he suddenly clenched his fist.
’With so many resources, it’s enough for me to raise my Rune Magic Ring to a sufficiently high standard.’
’With this much funding to accelerate my growth, I absolutely cannot miss out on the upcoming Dark Cosmic Kingdom.’
