Starting with SSS-rank talent, I contracted the Forbidden Ferocity.

After the investiture ceremony, Shen Ye did not attend the celebration banquet.

He didn't like that kind of scene.

A group of people, holding their drinks, were talking about "a promising future" and "the future pillars of Dongxia," which sounded more exhausting than fighting a fourth-tier ferocious beast.

Lu Qingshan was very satisfied with this.

"You little rascal, you're finally starting to look like a true prodigy."

Shen Ye looked at him.

"So, the so-called 'Prince of Kings' doesn't eat?"

Lu Qingshan choked.

Han Pojun, standing to the side, said, "He knows what's important."

Shen Ye nodded.

"Then I'll go to the treasure vault."

Lu Qingshan: "..."

He discovered that Shen Ye indeed knew what was important and what was not.

However, in Shen Ye's eyes, resources are the most important.

The second level of the Eastern Heavenly Pride Treasury is even more special than the fourth level of the national treasury.

This is not where ordinary resources are stored, but rather strategic-level materials that can only be exchanged by the elite kings.

When Shen Ye entered with the Night King's Seal, the old man guarding the treasury stared at him for a long time.

"He was enfeoffed as a king at the age of eighteen, and Dongxia has not produced one for seven years."

Shen Ye asked, "Who was the last one?"

The old man said, "The first on the list of those who were granted the title of king is Lu Chenzhou."

Shen Ye memorized the name.

For the old man guarding the vault to specifically mention it, he must be very strong.

The second layer of the treasure vault has been opened.

The system panel kept appearing.

[Undying Dragon Marrow, Tier 5 material.]

[Heavenly Soul Jade, a spiritual treasure.]

[Void Beast Bones can enhance space-type beast tamers.]

[Remnant Crystal of Tribulation, a material with the attribute of tribulation lightning.]

Shen Ye stopped in his tracks.

The Primordial Calamity Beast raised its head from his shoulder, its black and white eyes fixed on the remnant crystal of the lightning tribulation.

The gray-gold lightning on its tail flashed slightly.

want to eat.

Shen Ye removed the remnant crystal from the lightning tribulation.

The old man guarding the warehouse reminded him:

"The fragments of the lightning tribulation crystal are extremely valuable, but your royal seal authority only allows you to exchange them for three pieces of the same level material."

Shen Ye nodded.

"Count it as one item."

He continued walking inside.

Soon, they found a second one.

Chaos Stone Marrow, a rare material with chaotic attributes.

The Primordial Calamity Beast stood up this time.

Shen Ye glanced at it.

"You want this one too?"

The Primordial Beast nodded seriously.

Shen Ye accepted it.

Thirdly, he didn't rush to choose.

Ye Yu, Zhu Jiu, and Long Yuan also need resources.

But Shen Ye knew very well that the highest priority right now was the Primordial Calamity Beast.

It is only at the early stage of the third rank, yet it is already able to seal Blood Faceless's Blood Escape Technique.

Once cultivated, it will undoubtedly become his most unique trump card.

Finally, Shen Ye stopped in front of a black box.

【Eternal Ashes】

[Source: Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races - Annihilation Zone]

[Purpose: Unknown]

[Danger Warning: Contains a high concentration of annihilation energy; contact with ordinary beasts is not recommended.]

A system prompt then popped up.

[The primary material for the first stage of the Primordial Calamity Beast's advancement has been detected.]

[It is recommended to obtain this.]

Shen Ye did not hesitate.

"The third thing is utter ashes."

The old man guarding the warehouse slightly shifted his gaze.

"This stuff has been sitting around for years, and nobody dares to use it."

Shen Ye said, "Someone is using it now."

After leaving the treasure vault, Shen Ye went directly to the secluded training room provided by the military.

Remnants of lightning tribulation crystals.

Chaos Stone Marrow.

Utter ashes.

The three materials were placed in front of the Primordial Calamity Beast.

The little beast sniffed it first, then opened its mouth and inhaled.

The three materials transformed into a grayish-gold stream of energy, which it then swallowed whole.

The next instant, the lightning in the closed training room surged.

The body of the Primordial Calamity Beast was enveloped in chaotic light mist.

A system notification sounded.

[The Primordial Beast absorbs advancement materials.]

[Level Up: Early Stage 3 → Peak Stage 3]

Bloodline Awakening Level: 9.1% → 18.6%.

[Skill Enhancement: Eternal Calamity Seal → Eternal Calamity Sealing]

[New Skill: Prototype of Chaotic Tribulation Domain.]

Feedback has been received.

Shen Ye's previously stable fourth-order aura surged once again.

Although he did not break through to the mid-stage of the fourth tier, his foundation was significantly stronger.

The Primordial Calamity Beast emerged from the light mist. It was still not very large, but it had gained a layer of fine gray-gold scales.

It shook its fur and jumped back onto Shen Ye's shoulder.

Ye Yu glanced at it.

Zhu Jiu also poked out the snake's head.

Long Yuan then stretched out his finger, as if to poke it.

The Primordial Beast raised its claws.

A seal of eternal tribulation landed on Long Yuan's finger.

Long Yuan froze.

Shen Ye watched this scene in silence for a moment.

"Release".

The Primordial Beast tilted its head.

Shen Ye said, "They're on our side."

The Primordial Calamity Beast reluctantly withdrew the seal.

Long Yuan stared at it for a long time, then suddenly grinned.

It likes this temperament.

tough enough.

Just then, Lu Qingshan knocked on the door and came in, holding a sealed file in his hand.

"Information about the Blood-Clad Tower has arrived."

Shen Ye accepted it.

The file was opened, revealing a tattered map.

When the fragmented map of the headquarters dropped by Bloodface was pieced together with the intelligence gathered by the military, a location was finally revealed.

Northwest of Dongxia.

On the edge of the battlefield of all races.

Burial Beast Ridge.

Lu Qingshan's voice was deep:

"The headquarters of the Blood-Clad Tower is not located within the territory of Eastern Xia."

"It is hidden in the crevice of the battlefield of all races."

Shen Ye looked at the map.

"So Dongxia never destroyed it?"

Lu Qingshan nodded.

"The rules there are chaotic, and the forces of all races are intertwined."

"Human military, alien scouts, heretical organizations, and exiled warriors are all active in that area."

"The Blood-Clad Tower has survived for so long because it is more than just an assassin organization."

Shen Ye looked up.

Lu Qingshan said, word by word:

"Behind it lies the shadow of countless races."
