Chapter 1219: Great Spoils of War
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The alliance master lost in his fight against Dongfang Bubai, and he sustained both external and internal injuries. When he fought against the Wild Wolves’ Forbidden Daiya Technique, he was further injured. When he fought against Happy, he was suppressed by Heaven Crystal. He was already at the end of his strength. Right now, when he faced Thousand-faced Human Fox dealing a full-powered strike at the later stage of Myth Realm and Happy after he returned to the peak of his condition, he could not even last for ten seconds before he perished.
Thud!
His corpse landed on the sand, and alas, this warlord of his generation was unable to escape from the fate of dying for a demon vessel.
After he killed the alliance master, Happy did not dare to stay for long.
He looked through the alliance master’s corpse briefly and left after he obtained his Universe Bag. Tiger Soul was still left behind at that side. Happy would be left crying if it was covered in sand.
But what surprised Happy was that Thousand-faced Human Fox did not follow him. Instead, he lingered around the alliance master’s corpse before he squatted down and started searching through his body.
Happy covered him with his spirit sense, and he naturally noticed Thousand-faced Human’s unnatural actions.
Happy did not call out Thousand-faced Human Fox. He was one of the four Divine Thieves in the Chinese plains. He must have his own reasons to stay behind. Perhaps he found something that caught his fancy from the alliance master, but Happy did not notice it.
He could not care about it.
Happy’s main concern was still Tiger Soul. He rushed to the previous battlefield, and he was just in time to see Tiger Soul’s saber hilt, which was the only part of it that remained unburied by sand.
Thud!
After he landed on the ground, Happy positioned his hand into a claw and seized the air.
Dragon Capture!
Whoosh!
Tiger Soul shone with a burning, red light. It rose from the sand and landed in Happy’s hands.
The saber was still around. The delight in him retrieving the saber caused Happy to be incredibly excited.
But this situation did not last.
With both Heaven Crystal and Tiger Soul in hand, the two wills started fighting madly against each other in his body once more, and his meridian systems had to withstand the clash of two wills again.
“This is never going to end, is it?”
Happy felt incredibly gloomy.
Then, he had a thought in his mind. He decided to have less trouble in his hands and use Heaven Crystal to suppress Tiger Soul and subsequently cleanse it so that he would not be burdened with worries.
Happy did not want to turn into a killing machine because of Tiger Soul.
Right when this thought rose in him, Tiger Soul started humming madly in his hands. Even his arm started trembling madly.
On the other side, Heaven Crystal released an even more powerful and mighty presence. It sent out waves of energy to surround him, and it rushed at Tiger Soul.
Tiger Soul seemed to be fighting against and resisting Heaven Crystal’s cleansing. The bloody light on its blade shone brighter. The spine retracted and contracted. Its cold and ruthless presence grew stronger, and it almost broke out of Happy’s control.
Happy was shocked.
“I refuse to believe that I can’t subjugate a mere saber!”
He gritted his teeth and poured all of his qi into Heaven Crystal. With one indomitable slash, he cut into Tiger Soul.
Clang!
A clear sound rose. A part of the bloody light on the saber was instantly cut off. Its qi also became weaker.
After cutting into it ten times, the bloody light on Tiger Soul already became much weaker. At this moment, the clear sound of the system notification rose in Happy’s ears.
“Ding!
“You have reached the critical point where you can remove all of Tiger Soul’s vital energy. You cannot continue whittling down its vital energy, if you do, you might cause irreparable damage to both Heaven Crystal and Tiger Soul.”
When he obtained this notification, Happy naturally did not dare continue.
‘Thank goodness!’
Once it had a severe blow dealt on its vital energy by Heaven Crystal, Tiger Soul’s will was suppressed so badly by Heaven Crystal that it did not dare appear again. It became much more obedient.
The system notification appeared once more.
“Ding!
“Tiger Soul’s will has already been suppressed, and it will not be able to appear within a short amount of time. You can now put it into your Universe Bag. But you must remember, once it is stimulated by blood and qi, Tiger Soul will slowly wake up once more, and it will become ruthless again. At that time, you must suppress it again!
“You have successfully gotten rid of Tiger Soul’s vital energy. The attributes in Heaven Crystal have increased.”
Happy was shocked. He quickly lowered his head to size up Tiger Soul.
When he looked, he widened his eyes, and Tiger Soul’s attributes showed up.
[Tiger Soul: Ancient demon vessel.
[It is currently suppressed.
[Once it absorbs blood and qi, it will regain its aggressiveness. This effect will last for one hour: Its attack will be at 20,000 points. Its area of attack will be increased to 100 feet. It will gain the effect to break defenses. With every person it kills, it will increase its attack by 100 points. Every day, the maximum amount of attack that can be increased is 20,000 points.
[If you unseal the white tiger’s fierce spirit, its attributes will increase by leaps and bounds. You will gain Catastrophic Omen, White Tiger’s Roar, Tiger’s Eye, Tiger Soul’s World Destroying Slash. Once it is unsealed, you will face the dangers of being controlled by the white tiger’s fierce spirit!]
Tiger Soul’s attributes was incredibly domineering.
Even if it was suppressed, it still provided twenty thousand damage, and it could have its attack increase to forty thousand points per day…
When he saw this, Happy sucked in a sharp breath. He wondered whether Tiger Soul’s highest damage could reach sixty damage once he unsealed Tiger Soul. If that were the case, it was no wonder why Dongfang Bubai could suppress even the alliance master, because he killed a lot of people!
But it was rather troublesome to use Tiger Soul.
Once it was stimulated by blood and qi, it would slowly regain its fierce nature. This meant that he could only use it for an hour everyday. Then, he needed to use Heaven Crystal to cancel and suppress Tiger Soul’s fierce nature. He also could not use it again for the day after that.
Even though its attributes were more domineering than Heaven Crystal, Heaven Crystal was already enough for Happy.
Besides, Heaven Crystal seemed to have gained some attributes as well.
[Heaven Crystal: Ancient divine weapon.
[Increased Attribute, Arm Strength, Body Movement, and Comprehension by 50.
[Increased attack by 16,000 points.
[Increased attack speed by twenty percent.
[Heaven Crystal’s sword will: Increases damage of sword wills. Provides an additional damage of 10,000 points. Gained the ability to break defenses. Gained the ability of destruction. You can use it once every day.
[Heaven Crystal’s sword qi: Activate the ruthless sword qi contained in the sword. Once you release it fully, your attack will reach the extent of someone at the middle stage of the dao of heaven, but you will receive 30% of the sword’s damage. You can use it once every day.
[Heaven Crystal’s will: After you suppress Tiger Soul, the sword spirit’s will recovered slightly. You can resonate once with Heaven Crystal’s will every day and make your Willpower stronger. You will gain an increase of 1 Willpower for a short period of time. Every time you resonate with Heaven Crystal, your Willpower will increase by 0.1. The maximum increase per month is 10.]
The changes in Heaven Crystal’s attributes was great.
Aside from having an increase in one thousand damage, it also had an additional support skill that was activated automatically. He could resonate with Heaven Crystal’s will and increase his Willpower.
His hidden attribute could be increased by his own will. This was similar to him training it by his own will. This discovery caused Happy great surprise and excitement. As people in the dao of heaven started appearing, Happy began to realize the importance of Willpower. If he did not have Willpower, he would only end up dead when he fought against those in the doa of heaven. Once he pushed it to even higher heights, it should provide even more uses.
Besides, there was still room for improvement for Heaven Crystal’s attributes.
When he thought of this, Happy felt really satisfied.
Not only had he received a large group of materials to create divine weapons from the desert palace during his trip there, he also obtained Tiger Soul. He even made Heaven Crystal become better. His rewards were great.
“Oh, yes…”
After he put away his rewards, Happy finally remembered the spoils of war he took from the alliance master. They were currently in his Universe Bag.
Among the dozen people in the dao of heaven he met, aside from the Mad Monk, whose qi realm remained inscrutable to Happy, the alliance master’s qi realm was the highest. He was also the strongest, so his spoils would definitely not disappoint Happy.
With an excited heart, Happy brought out the alliance master’s Universe Bag. He started looking through them.
There were a bunch of gold notes…
To the current Happy, money was just a mere worldly possession. He did not even bother looking at it. He tossed it into his own Universe bag and did not even bother counting them.
He found a black plate. On it was the word “Heaven”, and it looked majestic and powerful. It was domineering, and the presence of those in the dao of heaven came charging at him.
‘This is good stuff!’
Even if Happy did not have a good eye, he could still sense what was extraordinary about this plate, because it had the presence of someone in the dao of heaven deeply embedded in it. He could not help but gasp.
He turned it around, and carved on the back were tiny words packed densely together.
He looked at it closely.
This was the plate of the alliance master. It contained the instructions for the Supreme Technique of the World, and he could also enter the headquarters for Heaven and Earth Alliance freely!
Happy felt his heart cheer.
‘Haha! It’s something good again!’
This martial art was definitely at the ranks of an ultimate technique, and it was even better than the usual ultimate technique. Happy could tell just how extraordinary this martial art was just based on how the alliance master brought it by his side and how it was carved behind the valuable plate of a sect master.
But he did not know where the headquarters of Heaven and Earth Alliance was. He never obtained such information from the game.
‘What else is there?’
Happy had even greater hopes for the alliance master’s Universe Bag now.
However, aside from a set of finger gloves, some medicinal pills, and cloak, there was nothing else.
Of course, the finger gloves were a high-grade demon vessel. It could increase a person’s damage by ten thousand points, but it could not be refined. The high-grade demon vessels in the market could not hope to compare to it.
The cloak had some attributes. It could increase a person’s movement speed, and it would not let out any sound when its wearer flew in the air.
There were a variety of medicinal pills in the bag. Aside from some Illusion Life and Death Pills, there were also Voice Changing Pills and Face Changing Pills.
He did not manage to find more martial art techniques, and Happy found himself a little disappointed.
At that moment, Thousand-faced Human Fox ran over, and his face shone with an excited flush.
“Master, look at what I found from that person’s body!”
Happy did not even need to look closely. From the distance, he could see the items Thousand-faced Human Fox held in his hands. One of it was a broken metal armor worn under the shirt, and it was so worn down that it could be thrown into a junk shop. This was the black armor that the alliance master wore over himself at all times. Unfortunately, it was covered in dense gashes right now. Besides, even its color was no longer recognizable. It just looked like a torn shirt.
The other item he took was also not in complete condition.
It was the fanged mask!
Unfortunately, there was a gash left behind by a sword on the left part of the mask. It was also covered in blood. If it were brought out, it could stop children from crying. No matter how Happy looked at it, he could not find himself interested in it.
However, when Thousand-faced Human Fox brought the items to Happy, he looked at them casually. Then, he was unable to move his eyes away from them.
[Heavenly Demon Armor: Broken ancient demon vessel.
[This is an ancient armor belonging to a heavenly demon. A mysterious power is sealed in it. Unfortunately, it was created by an immoral tailor. He used some low-grade materials to forcefully sew it, and he ended up turning an ancient demon vessel into a normal demon vessel.
[Increase defense by 3,600 points.
[Weakens damage dealt on it 30%. Negates 30% of damage from qi. Has a 30% chance to block off damage from defense breaking attacks. If you can repair the demon vessel perfectly, not even ancient divine weapons can hope to leave behind a gash on it. Unfortunately, the enemy of a heavenly demon is the deities…
[If you can find a tailor at the level of a deity, perhaps you can restore it to the level of a normal demon vessel. But if you locate the descendant of a heavenly demon, you might be able to restore this ancient demon vessel to its former glory.]
Happy turned to look at the damage fanged mask, and his breath quickened.
