Desolate Era: Hatching a Phoenix at the Beginning Novel - Chapter 151

Chapter 151 Mutated Energy Stone

Monkey trembled and quickly pounced over. Before it revealed its true body, it punched the falling huge Spirit Stone pillar to the side. However, this punch shocked Ye Chen and the Immortal Phoenix.

The red Spirit Stone pillar was sent flying by Monkey and crashed into a stone wall beside it, directly shattering into a cloud of light red dust.

Since the Spirit Stones here had fewer impurities, they were indeed much more fragile than ordinary stones. However, no matter how weak they were, they should only be shattered into pieces! It was a little too much to directly explode into powder!

Ye Chen was speechless as he looked at the scattered red powder, which the original form couldn’t be seen at all.

Then, he clicked open the panel and swiped to Monkey’s data.

[Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal]

[Race: Titan Giant Ape]

[Rank: Divine Beast]

[Maturity: Infant]

[Innate Mystic Ability: Diamond Body, pinnacle of strength, forbidden technique of the human race]

[Attack: 28,200]

(Defense: 32,600]

(Master: Ye Chen]

Monkey’s numbers were originally much lower than those of the other Divine Beasts. And now, just its attack power had already increased by 5,000 in one go, directly comparable to that of the Godly Sea Steadying Needle.

Monkey currently didn’t have any Mystic Abilities that attacked with Spiritual Energy. Therefore, all its attacks were real physical attacks. No wonder it could shatter the Spirit Stones into powder with a single punch…

“I suddenly feel that my confidence has suffered a blow.” Looking at his combat strength and recalling that he had once asked Monkey to train with him, Ye Chen couldn’t help but sigh.

“Monkey, your ability seems to have become significantly stronger!” The Immortal Phoenix circled around Monkey twice and praised, “And look, your fur looks much better!” After shaking off the impurities, Monkey’s hair indeed regained its golden color. The color was even brighter than before, looking glossy.

At this moment, Ye Chen noticed a different color in its golden fur.

“Monkey, what’s on your arm?” he asked in confusion.

Upon hearing this, Monkey also looked at its arm doubtfully.

On its two arms that were covered in golden fur, three strange red spots appeared on each of them. They protruded from the fur and were even flickering with a strange red light. The Immortal Phoenix flew over and poked them carefully with its beak. The red spots were hard and looked like fragments of Fire Spirit Stones that had been inserted into Monkey’s arm.

“Were they pierced in just now?” the Immortal Phoenix asked. “I never thought that the Spirit Stones would actually stab into your arm… Monkey, do you feel pain now? Do you want to pull them out?”

“It seems that they aren’t pierced in but are grown in my body.” Monkey also touched the red stones on its arms. “What are these? I didn’t have these things on me before. And they feel a little hot. I keep feeling that there’s still Fire Spiritual Energy inside.”

“Let me see.” Ye Chen took a step forward and reached out to a red stone on Monkey’s arm.

The moment he touched it, a system notification popped up.

[Reminder: Titan Energy Stone, obtained from the mutation of the Titan’s Eye.]

(Hidden prompt message: The Energy Stone can absorb the Spiritual Energy of the mutated beast’s own attribute and also of other attributes nearby. It can also be used to stack on its attack or defense.)

[Hidden prompt message: The energy that the Energy Stone can absorb and mobilize can increase as the mutated beast becomes more powerful. It will be more powerful in areas with abundant Spiritual Energy.] “The leader of the Feather Dragons really didn’t lie to me. There are truly mutated abilities.” Ye Chen was a little surprised. He immediately pulled Monkey from the location near the fire array and moved it a few meters towards the ice array.

As expected, the color of the Energy Stones in Monkey’s arms changed. They changed from bright red to light blue. It was obvious that they were changing according to the types of Spiritual Energy nearby that was absorbed.

“Monkey, you got lucky this time!” After confirming it, Ye Chen slapped Monkey on its back. “These are Energy Stones, similar to Little Purple’s Titan’s Eye. It’s also the talent of your race. It allows you to mobilize other types of Spiritual Energy to use in your attacks. This time, you won’t just be able to make physical attacks!”

After saying that, he pulled the Immortal Phoenix away and made an empty space for Monkey.

“We’re in the ice array now. What you felt just now was the Spiritual Energy from the fire array. Now, you should be able to mobilize the Water Spiritual Energy. Try to add it to your attack and hit that group of Spirit Stones there!”

His finger pointed at a group of Spirit Stones not far away.

“It seems like the Spiritual Energy in the stones has really changed… Let me try.” Monkey looked at its arms in pleasant surprise and then clenched its fists.

This time, Ye Chen focused. He could clearly feel some Spiritual Energy flowing towards Monkey and gathering around it. When the Spiritual Energy gathered to a certain extent, Monkey quickly rushed towards the group of Spirit Stones that Ye Chen pointed at.

“Boom!”

After this punch, the array shook again, but the situation was completely different from before.

The Spirit Stones that were attacked didn’t explode like last time. Instead, they shattered into fine foam and flowed down Monkey’s fist like a puddle of water.

At the same time, Ye Chen found that there was also some similar Spirit Stone foam scattering down from the top and four walls. “Master, this punch feels completely different from that punch just now!” Monkey exclaimed. “After I mobilize the Spiritual Energy here, I think I can build an ice shell around the thing I’m attacking. This way, I can control it so that it won’t explode randomly. It’s so convenient!”

“You control it well.” Ye Chen smiled and praised. “This can still be upgraded. If you work hard and practice, its effect will be many times stronger.” Ye Chen was very satisfied with this unexpected gain.

In the past, Monkey’s attacks were only physical attacks made with brute force. And now, with other types of Spiritual Energy, Monkey’s strength was more useful in many aspects. Moreover, the additional Spiritual Power could be used in defense, making it convenient for Monkey to cooperate with other Divine Beasts.

For example, when they tore down the borders of the array, Monkey was always a step slower when it attacked because it couldn’t withstand the Immortal Phoenix’s flames, which made Ye Chen find it troublesome. Now that it could have resistance to the Fire Spiritual Energy, it was possible for it to cooperate with the fire-type mutated beast.

“Perhaps Monkey can create a new combination skill,” Ye Chen thought to himself.
