Monsters Are Coming-Chapter 905 - 254: Divine Artifact Overlord Sword, Ultimate Despair
Air Wall Inspector: Guys, it’s so beautiful here. Standing here at night, you can see the luminous backs of the whales at the coast. I just wonder if they taste good (slurping sound~).
Little Trouble: I’m so angry. I was chased by monsters for thirty streets, and in the end, I couldn’t escape. I was still sent back to the village. Someone send a Sacrificial Power Red Envelope to comfort my wounded soul. The kids are almost out of food, living on canned meals every day, and are getting skinny from hunger (Explorer clenching fist.jpg).
...
After posting the screenshot in the chat group, Qiao Wu waved his hand, and the group chat automatically minimized to the upper right corner of his vision.
Then he summoned the forum, opened the "Explorer" livestream he was following, and retrieved a Spirit Meal from the Space Bag, which was priced at 175 points of Sacrificial Power in the Trading House.
The food was wrapped in a large leaf from the Colorful Mist Coast.
Unwrapping the leaf, a warm orange halo mixed with steaming mist rose up.
Inside, there was a semi-transparent Crystal Cabbage Cake, adorned with a glowing, colorful tentacle from an Aurora Jellyfish, which cast a gradient of hues like flowing clouds on the cake.
Sprinkled on top were Star-spotted Mushroom Seeds roasted with "Broken Snow Salt" from the Frost Winter Snow Region. His nose twitched, and a scent resembling a blend of caramel walnuts and cedar resin swirled in Qiao Wu’s nostrils.
"This is life."
Musing aloud, Qiao Wu picked up the Crystal Cabbage Cake and took a bite.
As the outer layer broke, the honey inside pulled into golden threads, the tender Aurora tentacle danced on his tongue.
With each chew, the Spiritual Energy hidden in the mushroom seeds erupted like popping candy, alternating aromas with the hot honey syrup.
Even the white breaths exhaled contained a few shimmering crystals.
It only took two or three bites to swallow 175 points of Sacrificial Power into his stomach.
Still unsatisfied, he took a cheap piece of fish meat from the Space Bag and devoured it.
The lingering taste of the Crystal Cabbage Cake still hovered on his tongue, enhancing the flavor of the spirit fish meat.
After eating his fill, a warm current rose in his stomach, heat coursing through his veins to his limbs, making his whole arm tingle, even exuding warmth from his fingernails.
He exhaled a white breath, his breath carrying tiny golden sparkles, which vanished in the wind and snow.
Then his body crackled, and the Challenger Tips for gaining Body Refining Experience echoed in his mind.
The comfort spreading from within made Qiao Wu stretch out with satisfaction.
Leaning against the tree trunk, he squinted, patted his belly, and continued to feel the warm current still flowing within him, yawning like a satiated cat.
In his vision, snowflakes danced wildly; the aurora swirled across the sky.
His breathing gradually became long and languid in the lazy ambiance, his eyelids growing heavier.
The warm flow inside continued to knead every muscle.
The sound of wind and snow gradually faded, leaving only his steady heartbeat and the subtle sound of Spiritual Energy flowing through his blood.
His head inadvertently tilted to the left, suddenly waking him up with a start, mumbling a sentence.
But soon, he was overwhelmed by waves of sleepiness, his body sliding slowly down the trunk, finally curling up in the hollow at the tree’s roots.
Despite the snow still falling, Qiao Wu slept exceptionally soundly.
The cold air dissipated quietly within three inches of his body, as if separated by an invisible barrier, his body being a furnace of Qi-Blood.
It wasn’t known how long he slept, but Qiao Wu suddenly woke up to a vibration.
Opening his sleepy eyes, he looked up towards the source of the sound.
At some point, ten meters ahead, a dark red broken sword appeared.
Like divine punishment, it was diagonally embedded in the snow, the hilt buried into the permafrost, the broken part outside three meters long, resembling an inverted dark red obelisk.
The sword’s spine was entwined with dark red patterns, resembling dried bloodstains, emitting bursts of Evil Qi, with a surface covered in fine cracks.
Wind and snow approaching the blade were shredded by the Evil Qi it emitted.
Then, drawn by an invisible force, it spiraled around the sword, forming a pale vortex.
"Cool!"
[Divine Weapon Clan - Overlord Sword]:
Hunting Level: 103 (severely injured and dying).
Target Introduction: An Artifact Spirit Life created by the rule "Divine Weapon," possessing intelligence, gaining Strength by devouring the despair, Suffering, and other negative emotions of the host. The stronger the host’s negative emotions, the more strength the Divine Artifact gains (in the mode without a host, it cannot exert its full power).
Growth Mode: Initially disguised as an unowned Divine Weapon, emitting tempting power fluctuations to attract targets to pick it up.
The hilt hides barbs, piercing the host’s palm the first time they grasp it, completing the Blood Contract Binding.
Initially, it will feed back a small amount of Spiritual Power to the host, supporting the host in honing their physique, gaining trust.
Symbiosis Stage (Growth Phase): Gradually erodes the host’s will, reading the host’s thoughts, inducing the host to frequently use it in battle.
Each time it kills a life under the "host’s" Control, it can devour the slain life’s flesh and spiritual power.
It can also gain an additional derived power from the rule through the host’s physical and spiritual pain (the stronger the host, the stronger the target, the more feedback power is gained), and a portion of the power is fed back to the host, creating the illusion of "Blade and Soul as One," establishing stronger trust.
Backlash Stage (Mature Form):
Controls the host’s behavior, inducing the host to produce feelings of Suffering, despair, anger, etc., until the host collapses emotionally, completing the growth loop of the Divine Artifact Rule, eventually returning to the Divine Artifact Clan.
...
After reading the decomposition information, Qiao Wu was taken aback.
He thought he had triggered a hidden opportunity in the game, but it turned out to be a hidden trap.
