Chapter 562 -390: Securing the Blood Diamond
The black polyhedron was constantly tugging at everything around it.
Be it light, sound, or tangible matter, all were captured and stirred, causing the edges of the polyhedron to appear warped.
“The ‘Shadow Coffin’ we jointly arranged lasted only half a second before being annihilated…”
Bindu looked at the other governing officers with a strange expression and spoke slowly.
“This is spatial distortion. The power of our incarnations alone is no match for such a rule phenomenon…”
Yasmin shook her head and sighed.
They then turned their gaze toward Chen Lun, and Mulenga joked:
“Jack, your move could very well harm a Saint. Perhaps I will personally witness the legendary feat of you, in your Mid Sequence form, slaying a Saint in the future.”
“Governing Officer Mulenga, please don’t make fun of me.”
Chen Lun humbly shook his head.
After his confrontation with Lafa, he knew very well that with his current strength, he stood no chance against high beings… Even though he now possessed far greater power than that of the Mid Sequence, and could easily defeat an incarnation of a Saint,
the true power of a Saint was an overwhelming force that transcended species.
Mythical power is a ruling force…
This statement was not as simple as it sounded.
Only when supernatural power undergoes a transformation and becomes equally mythical can one be qualified to contend.
The power of the “Annihilation Card” was indeed tremendous, but it wasn’t power released by Chen Lun… If an analogy were to be used, the “Annihilation Card” was merely a fuse, a “key” to detonate spatial turbulence.
It was by combining the repulsive and gravitational forces of the major and minor trumps, along with the disruptive effect of the Breath of the Spirit Fire on space, that the spatial distortion set off a chain reaction. This was the true principle of “Annihilation.”
The governing officers had also realized this essence, but even if they were to act in the flesh, they could not achieve this. Therefore, they marveled at Chen Lun’s talent and his understanding and application of his own power.
Ten seconds passed quickly.
The black polyhedron suddenly collapsed into a point and then disappeared without a trace.
Only a large hole was left in its place.

However, even so, the “Fallen Body” formed by the fusion of the Abomination Fortress, over ten thousand Fallen Believers, and more than twenty Mid Sequence clergy members, through the remaining power of “Desecrated Duke,” still hadn’t died completely!
At the bottom of the pit, some residual “offcuts” were still writhing and growing, several weakened fleshly appendages twitching, struggling, and re-standing the vague mass of flesh.
The surrounding Fallen Believers swarmed in, their expressions both frenzied and devout, attempting to throw themselves onto it, offering their flesh for its healing.
Seeing this, Mulenga snorted coldly, waving his hand indifferently.
Black threads drew a circle around the periphery of the pit and rose into a net-like cage made of shadows. Any believer who charged toward the “Fallen Body” was sliced into chunks, thereby cutting off any chance of the “Fallen Body’s” recovery.
Chen Lun suddenly thought of the words the governing officers had said earlier; they mentioned that the “Fallen Body” had reached the level of mythical creatures. Could his “Animal Mimicry LVMAX+5” capture the corresponding “mythical creature characteristics” from it?
Previously, he had witnessed the Mythical Creature Form of a Saint twice: once when Mr. Bales lost control before his death and turned into a three-headed black bird, and the second time when Lafa tried to escape the Speaker’s “Knocking Window Execution” and transformed into a headless giant.
However, he could not possibly act on those two occasions.
‘Now seems like a good opportunity…’
Chen Lun thought to himself.
He made a split-second decision, teleported directly into the bottom of the pit, and reached toward the writhing mass of flesh.
Unexpectedly, the severely wounded and dying “Fallen Body” suddenly lashed out, a bone spike springing from under the flesh in an attempt to kill him!
Ding!
Chen Lun’s hand flickered, and the Silver Staff swept across, deflecting the bone spike.
Immediately, he struck it with a cold face, landing a heavy blow on the mass of flesh!
Bang!
A dull sound reverberated as the flesh was smashed into a concave, writhing in pain.
Chen Lun took the opportunity to reach out again.
[You have deployed the skill “Animal Mimicry LVMAX+5”!]
[Detected mythical creature “Fallen Body” (Mutation) characteristic— “Exceeding Proliferation”!]
[You have not met the conditions; skill deployment failed!]
He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head and a sense of weakness came over him.
Chen Lun knew this was the backlash from the failed skill, causing both Sanity and Physical Strength to be deducted by a multiple.
He was first a bit disappointed but then filled with anticipation.
‘It seems it really is possible! Not meeting the conditions means that mythical creature characteristics can be captured and saved by me! It’s just that I haven’t met the requirements yet!’
A smile appeared on Chen Lun’s face.
‘Is it because the skill level is not high enough? Or is my own weight too low?’
He pondered for a moment and felt that it was very likely that he would only be eligible to capture mythical creature characteristics after he ascended to a Saint.
At that moment, the five governing officers also passed through the Shadow Cage and entered the pit, coming to Chen Lun’s side.
“Jack, have you found anything?”
Bindu asked aloud.
They had seen Chen Lun fiddling in front of this mass of flesh and thought he was performing some kind of experiment.
Chen Lun put down the Silver Staff and shook his head at them.
“Nothing… I cannot communicate with this mass of flesh; it only has the desire to devour and attack, just like those Fallen Believers. However, its Life Force is extraordinarily vigorous. If not for using the power of space to annihilate it just now, I’m afraid it would have been difficult to deal with.”
“Hmm.”
Mulenga nodded in agreement.
“That’s the strongest part of the Flesh Faction, their pursuit of physical perfection and immortality.”
“Kill it, we should head back,”
Kingsberg said.
Chen Lun nodded, he was more than willing to do the favor, especially since it involved a kill reward.
A ball of purple-red Deathburn Fire rose from the palm of his right hand, which he then threw onto the mass of flesh.
Boom!
The fierce flames burned, the bones and flesh becoming the best kindling, driving the fire to become even more vigorous.
Roar!
Roar Roar!!
The ball of flesh vibrated rapidly, apparently enduring great pain, emitting strange screams.
In no time, it had turned into a pile of thick ashes.
And those Fallen Believers continuously surging towards them seemed to lose their source of life and collapsed one after another, dead on the spot.
[You have slain the Mythical Creature “Fallen Body” (Mutation)! You have gained 250k Experience Points, 10 Attribute Points, 5 Skill Points, 3 Special Attribute Points, and 5 Region Renown Points!]
[A-Level Task Completed: Blood War! (Note: This task significantly affects the 1.0 version’s main storyline!)]
[You have received a task reward: 300k Experience Points, 50k Gold Pounds, 20 Attribute Points, 5 Special Attribute Points, and 10 Region Renown Points. (Corresponding main storyline Contribution Degree will be recorded based on the final results)]
After receiving the kill reward, the task reward he had previously accepted from the Speaker belatedly followed.
Chen Lun’s panel reserves surged considerably.
Experience Points had reached 900k+, Skill Points 23, Attribute Points 40, Special Attribute Points 13, Blessing Points 1…
In addition, Region Renown 112, Epic Renown 3, personal assets 300k+ Gold Pounds.
He planned to take some time to properly organize and use these resources to enhance his own strength.
At this moment.
Bindu seemed to have discovered something, bent down, fiddled in the ashes on the ground for a bit, and fished out three red crystals of varying sizes, as if they had originally been one but had shattered into their current state.
“These crystals contain strong Life Energy…”
The rest of the Governing Officers looked over, with Mulenga raising an eyebrow before taking them from Bindu and examining them for a long while.
“These appear to be the Energy Cores hidden inside ‘Abomination Fortress,’ This monster used it to attain that nearly immortal healing power,”
Mulenga said in a deep voice.
Chen Lun’s heart stirred when he saw the red crystals in Its palm.
‘Blood Diamond?!’
He remembered that when he encountered Antonio, he had accepted a [A-Level Chain Task: Swordsman], and the task of the third ring was to find a Blood Diamond to help Antonio combat the [Super A-Level Mysterious Object – Desecrated Holy Sword] inside him!
“Governing Officer Mulenga, may I have a look?”
Chen Lun spoke up.
The latter did not refuse, passing the three crystals directly into Chen Lun’s hands.
He feigned a close examination, while in reality, he was using the panel to run a check on them.
[Mythical Item – Blood Diamond]
Item Description: A crystal containing strong Life Energy, which can be used to prepare potions, forge Mysterious Objects, set up high-standard rituals, and serve as a source of energy, etc.
It was originally invented by Ragnar, the foremost of the Ten Cores of the Blood Abbey, but due to the specific manufacturing method being irreproducible, the Red Apple Church devised the Sinblood Ritual as an alternative method to obtain similar products by highly concentrating a large volume of Sin Blood.
‘It’s indeed this thing…’
Chen Lun felt some joy.
He thought for a moment, then looked up at the other Governing Officers and said:
“My lords, may I take one of these?”
As he spoke, Chen Lun added:
“I can forgo the rest of the spoils from this operation.”
The Governing Officers couldn’t help but laugh, and Kingsberg spoke up:
“Of course, there’s no problem, Jack. You were the main force in this operation, and you succeeded in killing the ‘Fallen Body’ and destroying the Abomination Fortress. Your contribution was indispensable… Although the crystals are rare, they are not very useful to us; at most, they will be submitted to the Senate for storage.”
“This is our spoil of war; you don’t have to worry about other Governing Officers from the Senate. Even if you take them all, neither we nor the Speaker would mind,”
Bindu chimed in on the side, with a very friendly attitude.
Chen Lun responded with a polite and grateful smile.
“Thank you, lords. However, taking just one will suffice, as it can help a friend of mine.”
“We’re all on the same side here, no need to be polite,”
Mulenga said with a light laugh, patting his shoulder.
After hearing Chen Lun’s words, they all had an even better impression of him.
Someone willing to make such sacrifices for a companion is worth getting to know better!
