Chapter 2182: Chapter 2167: The Kitten’s Request

"A postnatal spatial spirit treasure!"

"A high grade postnatal spatial spirit treasure!"

Ye Zhen’s primordial spirit divine thought sank in, sensing the dense spatial Dao patterns inside, leaving Ye Zhen utterly surprised.

Compared to postnatal spirit treasures of the Five Elements, spatial postnatal spirit treasures are extremely rare.

Being rare also signifies their greater value and worth.

After a while, Ye Zhen had already sensed the aura of this bone wheel thoroughly.

This is quite a powerful spatial high grade postnatal spirit treasure, primarily for support, with secondary offensive capabilities.

In truth, the Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong’s attainments in the laws of space and time Heaven and Earth are still lacking, especially in the more mysterious and intricate laws of time Heaven and Earth, which is only at the entry-level.

Because he simultaneously comprehended two mysterious and intricate laws of Heaven and Earth, the Prophet Demon Master’s attainments in the laws of space Heaven and Earth aren’t profound.

However, with the help of this high grade postnatal spatial spirit treasure, the Prophet Demon Master’s combat power becomes very terrifying.

Many spatial secret divine abilities, when supplemented with a bit of the laws of time Heaven and Earth, not only see a dramatic increase in power but become even more elusive and challenging to confront.

Among the techniques displayed earlier, half are related to this high grade postnatal spatial spirit treasure.

Obtaining this high grade postnatal spatial spirit treasure could be considered another major gain from Ye Zhen slaying the Prophet Demon Master.

If given time, Ye Zhen completely refines this high-grade postnatal spatial spirit treasure, he will have even more versatility during battles.

Even though Ye Zhen is not proficient in spatial powers, relying on this high grade postnatal bone wheel spirit treasure, his combat techniques will become even more mysterious and unpredictable.

The only concern is the artifact spirit of this high grade postnatal spatial bone wheel, which has been with the Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong for centuries, deeply bonded, and personally witnessed Ye Zhen’s slaying of its master, the Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong.

If Ye Zhen wants to thoroughly refine this high grade postnatal spatial spirit treasure, it will probably require tremendous effort.

Nonetheless, an artifact spirit is just an artifact spirit; as long as Ye Zhen is willing to invest effort, there will eventually come a day to refine it.

With a thought, Ye Zhen was about to sink his primordial spirit into this high grade spatial postnatal bone wheel, starting with preliminary refinement, and then, after placing it in the Dao Palace Primordial Spirit, gradually refining it with water grinding technique over time.

But just as Ye Zhen’s primordial spirit was about to sink in, a flash of white light and a low tiger roar sounded beside Ye Zhen.

It was the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, which had previously carried Big Ears Nie Ting during the battle, appearing beside Ye Zhen.

Unexpectedly, the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten fixed her gaze on this high grade spatial postnatal bone wheel held by Ye Zhen, her gemstone-like tiger eyes full of anticipation.

Ye Zhen and the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten shared a bond, and he immediately understood the kitten’s intention.

"You want it?"

Ye Zhen shook the high grade postnatal spirit treasure bone wheel in his hand, "Are you able to refine and use it, or devour it?"

Refining and using, Ye Zhen found it unlikely.

Such a high grade postnatal spirit treasure with a hostile artifact spirit, the spirit itself is already strong; even with Ye Zhen’s primordial spirit cultivation and methods, refining it would require significant time and effort.

If it were the kitten, even after ten or dozens of years of hard work, it might not be able to refine it.

The kitten rapidly nodded its large tiger head, its gemstone-like eyes flickering persistently, clearly indicating its opinion to Ye Zhen.

It was to refine.

But not refining the high-grade postnatal spirit treasure itself.

Rather, it was to refine the spatial Dao patterns contained within the high-grade spatial postnatal spirit treasure, or even the strand of spatial law power within its core.

The kitten had sensed a kind of power similar to its own, which drove it eagerly to Ye Zhen.

The kitten didn’t mention it, but as soon as it did, Ye Zhen observed once more, and it was indeed true.

This bone wheel was very likely crafted from the bones of certain beasts adept in spatial divine abilities.

Upon hearing that the kitten could refine the spatial Dao patterns and core of the high grade spatial postnatal spirit treasure, Ye Zhen, without much consideration, tossed this invaluable treasure, comparable to a low grade innate spiritual treasure, to the kitten.

The kitten let out a joyful tiger roar, opened its mouth, and swallowed the high-grade spatial postnatal spirit treasure bone wheel.

In an instant, sensing its potential fate, the artifact spirit of the high-grade spatial postnatal spirit treasure bone wheel wailed in agony.

Although it didn’t beg for mercy from Ye Zhen, the wailing already carried a hint of submission.

It believed that as long as Ye Zhen spoke, it would immediately yield.

However, as the kitten intended to absorb and refine it, it’s too late for submission now.

Having joyfully swallowed the high-grade spatial postnatal spirit treasure bone wheel, the kitten once again communicated its intent to Ye Zhen.

It wanted to enter the Mirage Dragon Pearl Sequential Space to refine the high-grade spatial postnatal spirit treasure bone wheel and enhance its power in the shortest time possible.

Ye Zhen naturally wouldn’t oppose this; with a thought, the kitten disappeared into thin air.

"Brother, did you really let the Tiger King kitten swallow that high-grade postnatal spirit treasure?" The Great Saints of Jinghai, Fug Hai, and Sea-Breaking all looked astounded.

A high grade spatial postnatal spirit treasure! Let alone ordinary Dao Realm cultivators, many late-stage Dao Realm powerhouses would break their heads trying to obtain a high-grade postnatal spirit treasure, not to mention this spatial type.

But here Ye Zhen casually gave it to a mount!

That’s right, in most people’s eyes, Wang Xiaomao is actually Ye Zhen’s mount.

"Big Brother, when I first entered the Martial Arts and was still in the True Essence Realm, I was together with Wang Xiaomao. We’ve been through life and death together for so many years, just like with you.

Our cultivation will grow higher, but I don’t want our brothers to become fewer and fewer!"

Ye Zhen’s words made the Great Sage of Jinghai, the Great Sage of Fug Hai, and the Sea-Breaking Great Sage immediately solemn.

It wasn’t until this moment that they understood why Ye Zhen was so generous to them.

True Dragon Essence Blood, Five-clawed Golden Dragon Essence Blood, even Ancient Divine Dragon Essence Blood, would be distributed to them.

It turns out this is the reason.

Back then, when they supported each other to move forward, this was also the reason.

Although over the years, they became brothers with Ye Zhen, there is still a fundamental difference.

The three brothers are one, while Ye Zhen’s relationship with them is different.

However, after today, their relationship will progress further.

Soon, the results of this battle were tallied.

Eighty thousand elite troops, completely annihilated!

Various types of equipment, wealth, and spirit stones totaling in the millions acquired; this portion of wealth will be valued and split into five parts.

One part, roughly accounting for one-tenth of the total wealth, is for compensating brothers who died in battle, while another portion belongs to Ye Zhen, the commander, accounting for two-tenths of the total wealth, as per the Military Forces of Great Zhou’s rules for distributing spoils.

If Ye Zhen, the Grand Marshal, didn’t take his share, other officers wouldn’t dare to either.

Another two-tenths are distributed by grade to mid-level officers, mainly Military Commanders, commanders, captains, and General-in-chief of these four levels.

The fourth share, accounting for two-tenths of the total wealth, is distributed as rewards earned by the participating soldiers.

This portion can vary in size; some corps only symbolically distribute a small part, while the majority ends up in the officers’ pockets.

However, Ye Zhen does not allow such practice here.

Two-tenths of the wealth is distributed among the six thousand soldiers, which is not too much, but also not little.

The remaining last three-tenths are used as military assets for the Heavenly Wave Army of North Sea.

Replenishing previously consumed military assets, enhancing the armory, honoring other cooperating combat troops, distributing prize money, etc.

The team’s casualties were much less than Ye Zhen anticipated.

In Ye Zhen’s six thousand from the Heavenly Wave Army, over fifteen hundred were killed in action, but light and serious injuries totaled forty thousand, with almost half being injured.

This was actually due to the Little Demon’s timely treatment.

Only sixteen Demon Spirit Soldiers were killed, making casualties minimally.

No deaths among the Yidongqing Guardian Corps Divine Guard Team, only hundreds lightly injured.

Only two hundred out of the twenty thousand Water Clan’s elite under the Great Sage of Jinghai died, showing extremely minimal damage.

However, the battle’s casualties were concentrated among the garrison of Cairo Fortress, commanded by Gu Tieqi, who bore the fury of Jii Qi.

The garrison at Cairo Fortress suffered four thousand deaths, with another thousand permanently losing their ability to fight!

In total, Ye Zhen’s side had only six thousand deaths, which, considering the feat of annihilating fourteen thousand enemies, is an extremely astonishing achievement.

This kind of accomplishment is unattainable by other armies.

Yet Ye Zhen’s expression is still somewhat gloomy.

Since the war began, out of the 220,000 members of the Heavenly Wave Army of North Sea, 10,000 have already been killed in action, leaving only 210,000.

By the end of the war, who knows how many will remain?

Despite Ye Zhen achieving such an astonishing feat of killing enemies, the consumption on Ye Zhen’s side is equally terrifying.

A total of seven million Crossbow Arrows were used, one million Flame Spirit Burst Demon Crossbow Arrows, and five thousand Sky-Breaking Dragon-Slaying Crossbow Arrows.

Under such a massive barrage of arrows, Ye Zhen managed to defeat 140,000 enemy troops, equivalent to using sixty crossbow arrows to kill one enemy.

It shows the cost involved!

However, for Ye Zhen, being able to consume wealth to destroy the enemy while preserving his own living strength is the most worthwhile action.

This was only the consumption for a field battle. If considering the city’s defensive consumption over the past two days, Ye Zhen’s reserves of crossbow arrows have already been consumed by about five percent.

This was due to Ye Zhen’s early predictions, having emptied the finances of North Sea County and even borrowing spirit stones using the name of North Sea County and the Heavenly Patrol Department, allowing early stocking of massive crossbow arrows.

If it were other generals and marshals, such a level of crossbow arrow consumption a few more times would be enough for bankruptcy.

However, with continuous victories, Ye Zhen has already started recuperating his expenses.

Now Ye Zhen must consider how to report the military achievements!

In this massive battle today, Ye Zhen utilized many backhand strategies, revealing many inexplicable strengths, such as the Water Demon Elites of the Great Sage of Jinghai and the Yidongqing Divine Tree Guardian Corps. How to report this military merit, and how to report it reasonably, will be a very tricky problem.
