Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded-Chapter 516 - 254: The Knight Order Devastated, Fiery Sun Divine Power, Successor

Near Ancient Zhengzhou, the Fiery Sun Divine Sect’s encirclement and pursuit of the Holy Temple Knight Corps continues.

Without the leadership of the Knight Commander, the remaining members pose no threat to the priests of the Fiery Sun Divine Sect.

When the Knight Commander’s corpse was taken by an apprentice knight and escaped to the Zhuma Divine Hall, the Fiery Sun Divine Sect’s actions would inevitably be exposed sooner or later.

Therefore, the current focus is not on killing all witnesses, but on depleting the Knight Order’s living forces as much as possible.

That is the fifty or so knight apprentices who accompanied the Knight Order to Oasis Town to participate in the suppression task.

They are candidates for the future Knight Order. Becoming a knight apprentice gives them a great chance to be promoted to an early Tier Two intern knight.

Especially in times of war, when there are sudden changes threatening the Holy Spring Sect’s rule, these people are the most important reserves of the Knight Order.

In urgent situations, they can be upgraded to qualify as intern knights through surgical modifications for tier jump evolution.

Now, with the Fiery Sun Divine Sect’s large-scale actions, killing these apprentices with a Tier One Late-Stage Nineteen-Level Evolution can greatly damage Storm Holy City’s living forces.

Especially in this era where Tier Three Kings do not emerge...

As long as the divine sect does not rashly attack the Holy City, the Holy Spring Sect, considering benefits and cost-effectiveness, may at most send more small teams of the Knight Order to pursue the sect’s followers.

Rather than a Tier Three bishop leaving the city directly for a counterattack in the wilderness.

For battles involving Tier Two Evolvers, output at full strength typically consumes a portion of same-level life source material per battle, or equivalent evolutionary meat.

But when a Tier Three King leaves their radiation range, maintaining their existence consumes a life source material portion calculated per minute, and the consumption during full combat is measured in seconds.

Unless they are willing to risk and pay the price of impairing their Tier Three origin, making a move directly is not worth the gain.

Unless there are Tier Three level opponents among the target enemies, in which case, deploying Tier Two Evolvers against Tier Two enemies is still more cost-effective.

And at this moment, a large number of dead knight apprentices can at least heavily injure the Knight Order’s living forces, making Storm Holy City lose a spare dagger in their hands.

Latter actions by the Fiery Sun Divine Sect, whether against the Knight Order or dismantling the Holy City’s pursuit, will be much easier.

After delegating subsequent matters, the Grand Priest remained in the ruins of Ancient Zhengzhou City, basking in the sunlight from east to west, slowly healing his wounds.

He halted the growth and regeneration of his left arm.

Regenerating an entire limb would consume a massive amount of life force; rather than exchanging for a new arm, maintaining the status quo may prolong his life for a few more days.

However, compared to the lost left arm, the damage to his chest required more urgent repair.

Although the heart that had beat for hundreds of years was already decrepit, without it to circulate fresh blood and nutrients throughout his body, the Tier Two cells inside would begin autophagy, devouring other lower-grade cells.

After ingesting life source material and drinking some water, the hole in the Grand Priest’s chest slowly regenerated back to normal, visible to the naked eye.

Cells absorbing the source material divided into primitive universal stem cells, which then gradually differentiated into specific function cells to ultimately form the lost organ tissue, perfectly restoring it as before.

As an advanced evolutionary life form, the Grand Priest only needed to absorb energy from the Fiery Sun’s light, then use the ingested water and the carbon dioxide and nitrogen from the inhaled air to obtain basic carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen elements to directly complete energy fixation inside his body.

This negates the need for a complex and inefficient transformation process.

This is one of the special abilities of Fiery Sun believers.

The closer to strong sunlight, the better the transformation effect.

Although other Evolvers can also do this, they might likely suffer from incursions of the Scorching Sun Curse, planting a bomb inside their body that could explode at any time.

During the slow completion of his wound repair, the Grand Priest’s gaze drifted toward the southeast direction.

While channeling the Fiery Sun Divine Power within and communicating with external Fiery Sun energy, in his Fiery Sun Possession state, he could possess a perception ability far beyond Tier Two.

Especially regarding nearby Fiery Sun energy convergence points, he had an exceptionally keen perception.

This ability would be further enhanced in the vicinity of the Scorching Sun Forbidden Area, where the increased concentration of Fiery Sun energy in the air, would make it even more powerful than a regular Tier Three King.

At that moment, the Grand Priest keenly sensed unusual fluctuations. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Originating from near the Scorching Sun Forbidden Area behind him.

One was at a southern intersection, from which a massive number of vibrant life energies emanated.

Starting at the evolutionary form level, with as many as seven or eight Tier Two Evolvers among them.

Although the distance between the two sides was one hundred kilometers, this large group of evolutionary life forms had traces of Fiery Sun energy lingering within them.

For evolutionary life forms, this wasn’t fatal, but it could be detected by the Grand Priest in Fiery Sun Possession state.

In his perception field, many faint light sources appeared from the south, indicating a group of evolutionary life forms long residing near the Scorching Sun Forbidden Area.

Such a large number of evolutionary beings appearing at the edge of the Scorching Sun Forbidden Area, especially at the intersection Oasis Settlement must pass through...

It’s obvious that the purpose of this group’s stay is aimed at Oasis Town.

The Fiery Sun Priests did not care about this, as the Fiery Sun Divine Sect, at its current scale, cannot capture and absorb a medium to large settlement yet.
