Chapter 796: Sacramental Stone

[Seventh Piece of Sacramental Stone Fragment]

[Attributes: ???]

Different from the previous Sacramental Stone Fragments Li Yi had obtained, the Seventh Piece did not display any attributes, only a string of question marks.

Including this one, Li Yi has collected eight Sacramental Stone Fragments in total. He would be able to create a whole Sacramental Stone if he found the eighth and ninth pieces.

Li Yi released his Territory, advancing forward at a slow pace while Jiaojiao continued to slash with her greatsword. It was not long before they came across a huge green treasure chest. Opening it up, another Sacramental Stone Fragment presented before them.

[Ninth Piece of Sacramental Stone Fragment]

[Attributes: ???]

“My gawd, don’t tell me the treasure chests in the Heart of Earth Element are all Sacramental Stone Fragments?”

Li Yi shook his head and kept the Sacramental Stone Fragment.

There was a certain percentage to the items obtained from treasure chests. The two consecutive Sacramental Stone Fragment drops did not mean it was guaranteed. It was all by chance.

Li Yi pinched Jiaojiao’s face, “Let’s continue to look for treasure chests. If you’re able to find the eighth piece, I am all yours.”

“Bah, shameless.”

Giving Li Yi the middle finger, Jiaojiao lifted her greatsword and continued killing monsters.

She was enthusiastic in searching for Sacramental Stone Fragments. It was only natural to be curious and Jiaojiao was no exception to this. She wanted to know what would happen after all ten pieces of Sacramental Stone Fragments were gathered.

The Heart of Earth Element was a huge map. Li Yi and Jiaojiao searched for another seven hours and found no less than thirty treasure chests. They obtained a pile of equipment and gems but no Sacramental Stone Fragments in sight.

“Brother Yi, where do we go next?”

Facing a mountain, this was the edge of the Heart of Earth Element map. There was no pathway ahead.

Should they go to the left or right? Jiaojiao gazed at Li Yi with expectant eyes.

Li Yi randomly pointed at a direction, “Left!”

They walked towards the left for about half an hour before they met a dead end. There was no pathway ahead.

“Right!”

Li Yi and Jiaojiao wasted another five hours looting dozens of treasure chests yet another Sacramental Stone Fragment failed to appear.

Unable to walk any further, Jiaojiao leaned on her sword and panted heavily, “Could it be that the escaped Ancient Desert God is the final boss of the Heart of Earth Element?”

“It’s not a possibility, it is the final boss,” Li Yi waved at Jiaojiao. “Let’s go, let’s return to kill it!”

With almost all treasure chests uncovered in the Heart of Earth Element, the duo received a warning notification from the System. Similar to the Water World, there was a certain limit to picking treasures in maps with bountiful treasures. Upon reaching the limit, the System would forcefully teleport them out.

Li Yi forewent searching for treasure chests for this very reason and chose to fight the Ancient Desert God.

If a Legendary-level boss was defeated, surely the items dropped would be good?

When Li Yi and Jiaojiao retraced their steps, they found the Ancient Desert God had returned. Its HP had not increased, and it swung its tens of thousands of tentacles around weakly.

“Let’s attack from behind.”

This thing was capable of escaping, so they had to reduce as much of its HP as possible in one go.

Li Yi and Jiaojiao crept to the back and made their move before the Ancient Desert God could discover them.

A double Shooting Star Arrow Hail and Mortal Bash took 100 million HP off the Ancient Desert God.

The Ancient Desert God then shrunk back underground to flee.

Due to previous experience, Li Yi and Jiaojiao no longer hit the panic button. They held their positions and patiently waited. Indeed, it was not long before the Ancient Desert God came running back. It snuck out of the sand and appeared before them.

“Shooting Star Arrow Hail!”

“Bp bp bp bp bp bp bp…”

This time, the Ancient Desert God never made its escape. It did not have much HP, and while it was halfway underground, its HP was reduced to zero by Li Yi’s arrows.

Ding!

Li Yi and Jiaojiao’s body shimmered in a golden glow. They both leveled up from killing the final boss of the Heart of Earth Element.

Li Yi was at Level 176!

The Ancient Desert God’s giant body began to shrink until it became a lump of tender flesh the size of a palm. With its belly faced upwards, it collapsed in the giant sandpit.

“I’ll go loot it.”

Rubbing her palms together, Jiaojiao leaped into the sandpit.

Ding!

[You’ve obtained Thunder God Summoning Scroll.]

[You’ve obtained Thunder God’s Spear.]

With two clear rings, Jiaojiao looted two Legendary-level items.

The Thunder God Summoning Scroll could summon the Thunder God to aid in battle.

The Thunder God’s Spear was a weapon that gave 30% spell damage, 50% Thunder spell damage, was immune to Thunder-type ATK, and came with a special skill, Thunder God’s Rage that could double or triple spell damage.

“Brother Yi, do you think I have a God Hand or Trash Hand?”

Queen Jiao lost her confidence due to looting equipment she had no use for.

“You have a God Hand. There’s only one Thunder God’s Spear. This thing is priceless.”

Li Yi jumped into the sandpit and walked towards Ancient Desert God to have a look around.

“What are you doing?”

“Don’t you find it weird that this thing returned here even if it meant its death?”

“Nope,” Jiaojiao shook her head.

Li Yi trampled the ground. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he went down on his knees, digging up the sandy soil. Soon, a corner of a shiny treasure chest was revealed under the soil.

“Wow, there is something there!”

Exclaiming aloud, Jiaojiao went up to give a hand.

The treasure chest was quickly dug up. Li Yi took out a Universal Key and opened it up.

Ding!

[You’ve obtained a Ninth Piece of Sacramental Stone Fragment!]

With a clear notification ringing in their ears, Li Yi and Jiaojiao were greatly astonished.

“No way… what good luck?” Jiaojiao was in disbelief at having found three Sacramental Stone Fragments in a single day.

It was not just her, even Li Yi was in shock. He picked up the Ninth Piece of Sacrament Stone Fragment hesitantly. Only after he put it together with the other nine pieces did he believe it was real…

[First Piece of Sacramental Stone Fragment: No EXP reduction at death, 10% increase on EXP gain, and 50 mana recovery per second. This fragment contains powerful energy. There’s no need to equip, simply place in backpack to take effect.]

[Second Piece of Sacramental Stone Fragment: 3% additional increase on rare item drop rate and 50% decrease in dropping items at death. There’s no need to equip, simply place in backpack to take effect.]

[Third Piece of Sacramental Stone Fragment: 5% additional increase on Critical Rate and non-existence of Weak status at on-the-spot resurrections. There’s no need to equip, simply place in backpack to take effect.]

[Fourth Piece of Sacramental Stone Fragment: 5% additional increase on Critical Rate and full HP at on-the-spot resurrections. There’s no need to equip, simply place in backpack to take effect. (If Third Piece was owned as well, the resurrections would be in full stats.)]

[Fifth Piece of Sacramental Stone Fragment: Unaffected by any abnormal statuses and can log off any time anywhere. Combination with other Sacrament Stone Fragments could trigger hidden potential.]

[Sixth Piece of Sacramental Stone Fragment: Increase max HP by 50000 points, max mana by 30000 points, and 3% additional increase on rare item drop rates. There’s no need to equip, simply place in backpack to take effect.]

[Seventh Piece of Sacramental Stone Fragment: ???]

[Eighth Piece of Sacramental Stone Fragment: ???]

[Ninth Piece of Sacramental Stone Fragment: ???]

[Tenth Piece of Sacramental Stone Fragment: 5% additional increase on rare item drop rate and 50% decrease in dropping items at death. There’s no need to equip, simply place in backpack to take effect.]

All ten Sacramental Stone Fragments had been collected!

Li Yi placed the ten Sacrament Stone Fragments on the ground. It was not long before a rainbow shimmer rose from above, wrapping around the fragments.

Tst tst tst —

At the injection of a rainbow glow, the ten Sacramental Stone Fragments began to fuse together.

The fragments merged into one and the rainbow glow disappeared.

The Sacramental Stone!

With an appearance similar to a goose’s egg, it shone with rainbow radiance. When Li Yi held the Sacramental Stone up, the attributes on it emerged.

[Sacramental Stone (God-tiered item. There’s no need to equip, simply place in a backpack to take effect.]

[Attributes: 100% decrease in dropping items at death, 10% additional increase on rare item drop rate, 20% additional increase on character’s Critical Rate, 300000 points increase on max HP, and 50000 points increase on max mana.]

[God’s Protection (Special Effect): Immediate resurrection at full health and stats after death and 50% decrease in damage sustained for a minute due to God’s Protection. This effect is effective once every 30 minutes. Additionally, this effect does not take into account the character’s death count.]

…

Compared to the fragments, the attributes of the Sacramental Stone proved to be better, especially God’s Protection in the end. It was basically a bug.

Immediate resurrection at full health and stats after death without taking into account the number of deaths meant unlimited resurrections, even in dungeons.

There was a rigid rule in dungeons, applicable to both individuals and parties, that restricted a character’s revival in battle to 3 – 5 times. Once the battle resurrection count was used up, the skill was no longer permitted.

Taking Drifting Snow’s Flaming Phoenix as an example, the divine bird could resurrect without limit, but it could only revive three times at most in dungeons before it would be forcefully dispersed by the System and disabled from summoning.

With the Sacramental Stone in his hands, this restriction no longer existed. He could resurrect countlessly with this thing.

“Hahahahahaha…”

Laughing out loud, Li Yi embraced Jiaojiao, kissing her lips passionately.

“Seizing the moment to take advantage of me? Bastard!”

Jiaojiao may sound displeased but her actions showed otherwise. She spread out her arms to hug Li Yi tightly.

Li Yi hit it big from this trip to the Heart of Earth Element.

The two embraced tenderly for a while before reluctantly separating. They went around to search for treasure until they were teleported out by the System.

Ding!

[Congratulations! You’ve completed Unveil the Heart of Earth Element’s Secrets quest and obtained the Elf Hero title]

[White Elf camp’s Reputation Value increased by 5000 points.]

[The Affinity between you and the White Elf Queen, Sif has increased by 5 points.]

A series of System Notifications appeared on the screen, leaving Li Yi overjoyed.

Li Yi traded all the items he had no use for over to Jiaojiao so that she could sell them for Gold Coins in the Auction House while he rubbed on his Guild Return City Stone to return to the Little Drunk Cat Guild.

With his appointment with Sister Cat coming up, he would be tackling the Ancient King Series’ fifth group dungeon. Only, before this, he needed to make some preparations.

Li Yi walked into the Ironsmithy.
