Chapter 438 - 252: Rule Authority: Bloody Praise

Chapter 438: Chapter 252: Rule Authority: Bloody Praise

Like Shen Xuan, Zhong Ling lacked Defense Ability.

Once her Reincarnation Nether Butterfly obtained the Rule Authority, Eternal Life of the Fallen Crown, the Undead Creatures it bound via Contract could compensate for Zhong Ling’s shortcomings.

This would be enough to raise Zhong Ling’s combat prowess by several levels!

It would allow her to follow the same path as Zhong Yi and become an all-around Warrior.

Zhong Yi considered Zhong Ling’s current combat ability, then imagined how her Reincarnation Nether Butterfly would perform after gaining the Rule Authority, Eternal Life of the Fallen Crown.

He couldn’t help but look forward to her results in the upcoming Ranking Competition and Secret Realm explorations.

The Rule Authority, Eternal Life of the Fallen Crown, set the Reincarnation Nether Butterfly on a similar path to the Soul Vein Mother Butterfly.

The combination of the two would create a synergistic effect where one plus one was greater than two.

The second major treasure Zhong Yi had his eye on was a throbbing, purple-red heart.

With every expansion and contraction, it emitted a violent, booming sound.

The Rule Authority contained within this heart was called Blood-Soaked Hymn.

[Blood-Soaked Hymn]: Increases one’s own strength based on one’s total blood volume and adds a true damage effect.

The Rule Authority, Blood-Soaked Hymn, contained within the purple-red heart was extremely simple.

In Zhong Yi’s opinion, the Blood-Soaked Hymn Rule Authority was not a good fit for Hong Ji, nor for the War Puppet that her Blood Thread Puppet had transformed into.

However, it was a perfect match for the Blood Rope Armor Insect that lived in symbiosis with Hong Ji.

The Blood Rope Armor Insect was a rare insect-type Creature that excelled in both offense and defense.

Hong Ji stored almost all of her blood within the Blood Rope Armor Insect.

The Blood Rope Armor Insect was like a massive blood bank!

After Hong Ji had spent so long absorbing Guardian Beast Remains, the amount of blood now inside the Blood Rope Armor Insect would have been enough to fill more than half a reservoir in Zhong Yi’s previous life.

The Blood-Soaked Hymn Rule Authority would allow the Blood Rope Armor Insect to use the massive amount of blood it had absorbed to gain immense strength.

If it merely increased strength, it would be quite mediocre, even if it was imbued with the Power of Rules.

But the Blood-Soaked Hymn Rule Authority did more than that.

While increasing strength based on blood volume, it also added a true damage effect that scaled with that same volume.

Once the Blood Rope Armor Insect absorbed it, activating the Blood-Soaked Hymn Rule Authority would allow it to ignore the enemy’s defenses.

The third major treasure Zhong Yi noticed was one that could enhance the Power of Rules related to stars.

This major treasure wasn’t a good fit for Zhong Yi, but it was perfectly suited for Star Night’s Lifebound Guardian Beast, the Fallen Star Night Qilin.

The fourth major treasure was an item that could enhance Spiritual Element Rules.

Zhong Yi’s Contracted Silver Shuttle Nightmare Cat, Lan Po, was a Spiritual Element Guardian Beast.

If Zhong Yi wanted it to master a Rule Authority in the future, he would definitely need a major treasure containing a Spiritual Element Rule Authority.

This fourth major treasure was an excellent match for Lan Po!

However, Lan Po had yet to even master a Rule Authority.

It was still too early to consider obtaining this major treasure.

Right now, Zhong Yi’s two highest-priority major treasures were the Crownless Fruit, which was a match for Zhong Ling’s Lifebound Guardian Beast, the Reincarnation Nether Butterfly, and the purple-red heart containing the Blood-Soaked Hymn Rule Authority.

Both were extremely high priorities.

Whether it was for the Reincarnation Nether Butterfly or the Blood Rope Armor Insect, if they missed this chance, it would be very difficult to find another Rule Authority so perfectly suited for them.

Still, if he truly had to choose, Zhong Yi would prioritize increasing his own strength.

After a moment of contemplation, Zhong Yi turned to Liu Shu, who was standing beside him, and asked.

"Brother Shu, there are three major treasures here that are very useful to me."

"Two of them are an incredible match for my Guardian Beasts!"

"I was wondering, can the major treasures here be purchased with Divine Origin Value?"

Hearing this, Liu Shu couldn’t help but chuckle.

He hadn’t expected Zhong Yi to be so greedy, setting his sights on three major treasures at once.

If anyone else had set their eyes on three major treasures at once, Liu Shu would have been displeased.

He might have even felt offended.

But since these words came from Zhong Yi, Liu Shu didn’t feel that way at all.

Because with Zhong Yi’s level of Talent, any amount of greed was reasonable.

"Until now, no one has ever purchased a Rule-related major treasure from the Treasure Vault."

"These major treasures in the Treasure Vault’s collection, the ones containing Rule Authorities, all hold exceptionally complete Rule Authorities within them."

"Even the worst of these major treasures containing a complete Rule Authority would cost at least 100,000 Divine Origin Value on the outside."

"If we price these major treasures at 100,000 Divine Origin Value each, you can buy them at a twenty percent discount, meaning each one would still cost eighty thousand Divine Origin Value."

Zhong Yi currently had nearly 40,000 Divine Origin Value on hand and had been feeling rich.

But upon hearing the prices of these major treasures, he couldn’t help but sigh self-deprecatingly in his heart.

’I’m still so poor!’

Since he couldn’t afford them, Zhong Yi prepared to choose just one for now.

Just then, Zhong Yi heard Liu Shu suddenly say.

"You said yourself that you’ll be exploring Secret Realms later. You took first place this time, so don’t you have the determination to take first place again?"

"In any case, I have faith in you!"

"Whatever major treasures you’ve set your sights on this time, you can just take them."

"Once you get first place in a future Secret Realm exploration, you can just pay me back for them then!"

Liu Shu’s words were incredibly generous.

Zhong Yi had only won first place once, which should have only entitled him to take a single major treasure from the Chasing Light Dragon Palace’s Treasure Vault.

Yet Liu Shu was willing to let Zhong Yi take all the major treasures he wanted in advance.

This was equivalent to giving Zhong Yi an advance of several hundred thousand Divine Origin Value.
