Global Coming: Farming with my sister-in-law in the end times

Chapter 861 Ancient Fire Seed, the Third Dragon Rune Stone!
Cao Xing pondered, "There are still more than two hundred fragments of divine power left..."

"This number... we could try to add another demigod to the territory."

"The premise is that I can find a way to get another hundred or so divine power fragments, making a total of four hundred..."

"Or we could wait until Hilda reaches level 150, the maximum level, and then use [Blood Source Divine Fire] to break through, which would save us 200 divine power fragments..."

After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing turned his head and looked at the beauty behind him.

"Mu Xue, you've already reached level 150, the maximum level, right?"

She nodded slightly and replied with a soft "Mm".

Cao Xing smiled and said, "Alright, I'll go get some [Divine Power Fragments] later and then try to help you transform into a demigod."

He planned to use 200 [Divine Power Fragments] to purify one of the divine flames, as the system had instructed, so that Liu Muxue could break through.

In this way, plus the consumption of activating the special properties, a full 400 divine power fragments are needed, which is equivalent to emptying his entire fortune at once.

However, if it can help Liu Muxue, the strongest support in the territory, break through to the level of a demigod, it would still be very worthwhile.

After all, once her attributes are greatly improved, her various amplification skills will also be greatly improved, bringing an unprecedented transformation to the entire territory!
Upon hearing this, a glint of light flickered in Liu Muxue's beautiful eyes, as if she were also looking forward to it.

She said softly, "Okay, I'd like to know too, what does it feel like to break through to demigod level..."

Cao Xing nodded, then continued to examine the other spoils of war.

This time, a special flame appeared out of thin air in his hand.

Unlike other divine fires, it is golden in color and exudes an ancient aura.

The flames danced slowly in his palm, and a peculiar murmur could be faintly heard emanating from them, as if they had existed since ancient times.

Cao Xing said in a low voice, "This fire seed was generated from the Mother of the North Wind, and it seems to be different from other divine fires."

"I wonder what special function it has..."

I couldn't wait to take a look.

[Ancient Fire]

[Quality: unknown]

[Item Description: In ancient times, after a god perished, the fire that formed from all his divine power, divinity, and blood contained within him possessed the power to transform the rotten into the miraculous.]

[Item Effect 1: Contains pure divine essence, allowing any legendary creature of any attribute to absorb the power of this fire and break through to the demigod realm, with a 100% success rate!]

[Item Effect 2: Can rekindle the divine fire for certain special creatures whose divine fire has been extinguished or disappeared, and heal all their injuries.]

[Item Effect 3: If a demigod-level creature has already ignited its divine fire, absorbing this divine fire will upgrade the grade of its own divine fire, allowing it to undergo a second transformation!]

[Item Effect 4: Can directly absorb this fire, replenishing 5000 points of divine power]

...

"I...fuck!"

Cao Xing's eyes widened in astonishment. "The effect of this spark is just too amazing!"

"A 100% success rate in breaking through to demigod status, and the divine fire can be reignited a second time!"

"Most importantly, this thing can also allow beings that have already broken through to the demigod level to upgrade the grade of their divine fire and achieve a second transformation!"

Although he didn't know what the grade of the divine fire was.

But one can imagine that anything that could allow a demigod to advance further must be priceless!

Cao Xing took a deep breath and exclaimed, "I never expected that the Mother of the North Wind would possess such a divine object."

"Plus a Dragon Rune Stone, this woman has really kept a deep secret..."

What he didn't know was that this "Ancient Flame" was actually a gift from the Holy See to the Mother of the North Wind.

Knowing this would provide a deeper understanding of the Vatican's formidable foundation.

Then, Cao Xing began to study how to use this [Ancient Fire Seed].

"Based on the attribute description above, the 100% success rate means that I can immediately add a demigod-level creature to my territory."

"Or... give it to the lizardman chieftain, so that it can regain its peak fighting strength..."

Cao Xing's eyes showed a thoughtful expression, but he quickly dismissed the second idea.

Admittedly, the lizardman chieftain had helped him many times before and played a crucial role in key battles.

If they can be restored to their peak performance, it will be a great help to the major leagues.

However... the old clan chief was ultimately not a member of Cao Xing's territory.

Humans are inherently selfish, especially when it comes to a unique "Ancient Flame".

Moreover, Cao Xing had already given the old patriarch several precious [Blood Cores] and found a place for the lizardmen to settle down, which was equivalent to repaying his help.

"So... I'll keep this spark for the members of my own territory."

"We'll see what can be done about the old patriarch later to see if there's a way to help him recover."

Cao Xing made a decision quickly, and Liu Muxue also strongly agreed with his idea.

"However... it would be too wasteful to simply absorb this spark and transform into a demigod."

"To maximize its potential, it is necessary to allow beings who have already broken through to the level of demigods and ignited their divine fire to absorb this ancient fire seed once again."

"At that time, this demigod's [Divine Fire] will be upgraded and undergo a second transformation!"

It's the same as potential.

One in a million is a dominant species, but one in a billion is a mutated dominant species!

Rather than letting this spark create an ordinary demigod, it's better to spend one more divine fire to create a demigod-level invincible creature, or even one that breaks the limits of demigods!

Cao Xing immediately thought of Malenina.

After all, this woman demonstrated absolutely formidable combat power in today's battle!

Even the near-demigod-level invincible being 'Fire Thief', even the Mother of the North Wind, who is known as the demigod-level strongest destructive force, and even those false gods, were all unilaterally suppressed by her.

Of course, Malenina was able to do this partly because of her rich combat experience during her lifetime, and partly because of Cao Xing's [Eternal Power].

If the Ancient Fire Seed were given to Malenina to absorb, her strength would likely skyrocket to an unimaginable level.

"However... not yet."

"Marlene is only level 125, and she is still a long way from the demigod stage."

Yes, although the Valkyrie's combat power today is already incredibly strong, she is still only at the Legendary level.

Only through her second form and the Wrath of the Valkyrie can she unleash the power of a demigod.

This also demonstrates just how amazing Malenina's potential is.

Once she transforms into a demigod, she can absorb the Ancient Fire Seed and undergo a second transformation.

Then activate a series of states!
At that point, it might not be as simple as being invincible among those of the same level.

It's even possible that, with the power of a demigod, one could slay a true god!
Thinking of this, he even started to breathe rapidly!
"call……"

Cao Xing took a few deep breaths to suppress his excitement.

"Now, let's check out the next piece of loot."

After putting the spark into his backpack, a black rune appeared out of thin air in his right hand.

The runestone looked quite ancient, with dragon-shaped patterns carved on its surface, and one could vaguely sense the dragon's might emanating from it.

It was the [Dragon Rune Stone] that fell from the Mother of the North Wind.

【The Corrupted Twelve Sacred Beasts Runestones (Dragon)】

[Quality: unknown]

【Item Effect ①: When this runestone is given to a creature with dragon blood, it will grant it the 'Dragon Blood Awakening' effect.

Dragon Blood Awakening: Fully activates the dragon bloodline within your bloodline, increasing base attributes by 100%, attack range by 200%, and your size by 300%.

(Note: Because this runestone has been corrupted, the user will be constantly in a berserk state and unable to return to normal. It can be used normally after purification.)
[Item Effect ②: After collecting all twelve Sacred Beast Runes and purifying them, you can go to the 'Realm of Immortality' to resurrect '???'.]

……

This [Dragon Runestone] is similar to the [Ox Runestone] and [Rat Runestone] obtained earlier.

They must be given to creatures of the corresponding race to unleash their true power.

Moreover, the bonus from this [Dragon Rune Stone] seems to be beyond imagination.

Not only can the base attributes be doubled, but the attack range can also be doubled!
It's important to know that some demigod-level creatures have an attack range that can reach hundreds of kilometers.

The dragon race is even more exaggerated, capable of covering battlefields spanning thousands of kilometers.

If combined with this [Dragon Rune Stone], a full-force attack from a demigod-level dragon could probably sink five or six maps. Cao Xing suddenly realized, "No wonder the Mother of the North Wind is hailed as the strongest destructive force below the demigod level; this [Dragon Rune Stone] is indeed quite effective."

"But...it's mine now!"

"After Isabel purifies it, we'll hand it over to Bingbing for fusion. The title of the most destructive force below the demigod level will then fall on that little guy."

He thought to himself with a smug satisfaction.

Then, Cao Xing began to examine the next piece of loot, which was also the most important one.

When the glowing holy book was taken out of the backpack, the entire hall was instantly filled with sacred golden light.

"Om-!"

A burst of brilliant light suddenly erupted, as dazzling as the rising sun.

It is the final part of the Holy Scriptures of Light: the Holy Scriptures of the Radiant Sun!
Even Liu Muxue behind them was completely focused on this powerful holy book.

Cao Xing gazed at the book in his hand through the endless holy light, and detailed attributes immediately appeared before his eyes.

【The Holy Scripture of Light: The Chapter of Radiant Sun】

[Quality: Legend]

[Equipment Type: Off-hand Weapon]

[Divine Power: 34/100]

[Equipment Level: 80]

【Equipment Special Effect ①: Spirit +2500, Agility +2000, Light Resistance +50%】

【Additional Effect ②: Sunfire (Applies the 'Sunfire' effect to attacks, dealing an additional 100% damage to Dark-attribute enemies and reducing their healing efficiency by 60%)】

【Special Effect ③: Corona Impact (Consumes 2 points of Divine Power, releases a fan-shaped burst of light that knocks back enemies and stuns them for 1-5 seconds. Cooldown: 30 minutes)】

[Special Effect 4: Radiant Sun Chapter (This holy book allows the release of various powerful Radiant Sun magic, including: 'Radiant Sun Shield', 'Forbidden Spell: Heavenly Fire Judgment', 'Forbidden Spell: Lightforged Barrier', etc.)]

(Note: The Radiant Sun chapter contains 13 skills, 3 advanced spells, and 2 forbidden spells.)
[Special Effect 5: Divine Wrath - Heavenly Punishment (Legendary Special Effect!)]
Mark a coordinate, generate a 'Judgment Day', and after 3 to 10 seconds, the Judgment Day will fall, causing a 'holy nuclear explosion' in a 50-kilometer radius below.

Holy Nuclear Blast: Deals Holy damage equal to 1500% of base attack power and permanently purifies all dark energy in the area.

(When the day of judgment arrives, the holy light will purify everything!)

(Item Description: One of the three Holy Scriptures of Light, which can be combined with the 'Radiant Chapter' and the 'Dawn Chapter' to form a complete Holy Scripture of Light...)
(Note: This holy scripture is bound to the will of the God of Light, and no one other than His creator can use it.)
...

...

After reviewing the complete attributes of the [Radiant Sun Codex], both Cao Xing and Liu Muxue were simultaneously shocked.

He exclaimed, "As expected of one of the three sacred texts of the God of Light, the attributes of this 'Radiant Sun Sacred Text' are truly terrifying."

"Unlike the forced faith of the 'Radiant Chapter' and the permanent enhancement of the 'Dawn Chapter', the 'Radiant Sun Codex' tends to destroy and judge."

“Each holy book has its unique uses and powerful properties.”

"If the three books were combined into one... I really don't know how powerful this thing would become!"

Thinking of this, Cao Xing even felt a little impatient, wanting to pull the God of Light out of the Abyss and kill him.

He said in a low voice, "According to the God of a Thousand Faces, in order to bring the God of Light into this plane, four things need to be prepared to hold a special ceremony."

"I've collected three types so far. All I need to do now is find the last one, and then we can officially begin!"

"Now that I have conquered the entire Northern Territory, it should not be difficult to find the last item by concentrating the strength of the ten kingdoms."

"That will be the moment when that old bastard, the God of Light, falls."

A cold glint flashed in Cao Xing's eyes, and then he put the holy book into his backpack.

Immediately afterwards, he flipped his right hand over.

Another book appeared above, exuding a black aura, its cover engraved with twisted runes and bone reliefs.

It was the [Book of Dark Magic] that fell from that dark mage.

However, compared to the three chapters of the [Grimoire of Light], which are all of legendary quality, this [Book of Black Magic] is of epic quality.

I glanced at the attributes.

[The Book of Black Magic (Orange)]

[Quality: Epic]

[Equipment Type: Off-hand Weapon]

[Equipment Requirements: Level 100 or above, Dark Mage.]

【Equipment Special Effect ①: Forbidden Resonance (Spirit +8000, Constitution -5000, Dark Magic Attack Power +30%, Armor -50%)】

【Equipment Effect ②: Corrosion Imprint (All attacks are imbued with the 'Dark Magic Corrosion' effect, corroding 3% of the enemy's armor, stacking up to 10 times)】

【Equipment Special Effect ③: Life Sacrifice (Sacrifice 100 years of your own lifespan to gain powerful dark magic, increasing the effect of all dark spells cast for the next 100 seconds by 100%!)】

【Equipment Effect 4: Forbidden Knowledge (Epic Effect!)】
Unlocking the Dark Magic skill book allows you to learn thirteen intermediate, advanced, and forbidden Dark Magic spells, including 'Flesh Curse', 'Soul Siphon', and 'Source Curse'.

(Note: All black magic contains evil power. In the process of using it, your sanity, soul, and life will be constantly eroded, but you will be unable to extricate yourself from the forbidden power...)
(Equipment Description: A book of black magic containing forbidden power. After being besieged and destroyed by powerful figures on the continent several times, this magic book has become increasingly rare...)
...

...

"I see……"

"To exchange one's physique, armor, or even lifespan for immense power?"

Cao Xing murmured to himself, "It does indeed fit the style of dark magic."

He examined the book in his hands, continuing to ponder in his mind.

"Strictly speaking, this [Book of Black Magic] is more powerful than ordinary epic-level equipment, and can even surpass the improvement of some legendary-level equipment if no cost is paid..."

"Especially the third special effect, which consumes 100 years of lifespan in exchange for 100 seconds of powerful state, doubling the effects of all dark magic!"

"Furthermore, combined with my [Eternal Power], I can even gain a permanent upgrade by consuming only one lifespan..."

"This sounds like a good deal..."

Of course, as mentioned earlier, while the [Eternal Power] can make these states permanent,

However, the special effects of these equipment will be lost when the equipment is removed or unbound.

Add to that a lifespan of 100 years, and that's no small number.

Under normal circumstances, a legendary powerhouse's lifespan is limited to three to five thousand years, barring any unforeseen events.

The exact lifespan of a demigod-level powerhouse is still unknown, because Cao Xing has never heard of a demigod who died of old age due to the exhaustion of their lifespan.

Therefore, whether or not to trade 100 years of lifespan for a 100% increase in spell damage is a matter of personal opinion.

"This book of dark magic could be given to Isabel in her dark witch form."

"In this way, in her radiant form, she wields the [Holy Scripture of Light] and is a divine sage who eradicates all evil in the world."

"In her dark form, she wields the [Book of Black Magic] and is a dark witch with destructive power."

"Both forms possess extremely powerful combat capabilities."

Cao Xing nodded secretly, and quickly decided in his mind who would use this [Book of Black Magic].

At this point, all the spoils have been examined.

Next, we'll see the achievement rewards after slaying the three false gods.

He opened the system interface, scrolled through the battle information, and a look of understanding flashed in his eyes.

"Killing these three false gods gave me a total of 30 reputation points."

"With the reputation points awarded for building Starfire City, I can now almost directly upgrade my legion to level 10."

"As expected, it can increase the attribute by another 4%."

A 4% bonus may not sound like much, but every little bit helps.

Moreover, at their level, their basic attributes have been stacked to a considerably high level.

Even a 4% increase is still a significant improvement.

He continued, "In addition to 30 reputation points, the system also rewarded three drops of blood."

"I wonder what special use this blood of a false god has."

So Cao Xing casually took out a drop of dark purple blood and checked its properties.
