Chapter 1063: Chapter 545: Spoils of War

After one minute.

“Clang!”

Along with a sword’s cry.

A streak of sword light carrying ruthless killing intent slashed straight down from the sky, piercing over a hundred meters into the water in an instant, and accurately struck the High Rank Knight Level Spiritual Brain Beast.

Even before the sword light arrived, the soul of this Mutant Beast, already gravely wounded, showed signs of dissipating.

To save its life, it still struggled on the verge of death.

A blue, glistening crystal sphere, about the same size as the beast’s eyeball, roughly equivalent to a basketball on Canglan Star, was spat out by it in one gulp.

The crystal sphere buzzed with a “hum”, instantly swelling into an illusory curtain of water; the surrounding water split into more than a hundred water walls, encircling the Mutant Beast layer upon layer.

Each water wall was extremely dense and viscous. Even a Knight with insanely strong physical fitness, if he plunged his arm into one of these walls and tried to pull it out, would find it quite difficult.

But this was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

The sword light effortlessly sliced through all the water walls, then just as easily pierced the water curtain.

From this, it was clear how terrifying the Power of the Sharp-breaking Law really was.

The sword light split into three at the end, striking three separate “brain cores”, the things that looked like brains.

“Bang! Bang!”

The three brain cores exploded simultaneously.

This powerful monster that had rampaged through a maze-like sea for hundreds of years, having wiped out countless exploration teams from various Civilization Worlds, fell here and died.

Yang Fan immediately broke into a smile.

This was the second time he had slain a High Rank Knight; the last one had been a powerhouse from the Blue Thunder civilization, and this time it was a Primordial Monsters.

The sword light swept back again, bringing with it a blue crystal sphere.

Yang Fan glanced at it, and the smile on his face deepened.

Because this turned out to be top-tier stock among Level 4 Exotic Material—the Lanshui Ming Pearl.

This should be the most valuable treasure in the Spiritual Brain Beast’s wallet; even some Venerables who weren’t particularly wealthy would give this thing an extra look.

Just getting this piece of loot alone made this battle a massive profit.

Starlight flashed in Yang Fan’s eyes as he instantly understood the purpose of the Lanshui Ming Pearl.

He stretched out a finger and tapped lightly; the basketball-sized crystal sphere rotated once, then shrank to the size of a fish ball in the blink of an eye.

“Splash~”

Waves of water surged out from inside the crystal sphere.

A very high-tier Water Element Supernatural Power descended into the rapids below in an instant, rolling up the Mutant Beast’s corpse lying on the riverbed.

A water dragon soared into the sky, carrying the massive corpse right up to Yang Fan.

He gave a casual wave of his hand and collected it into his Ring of Space.

At the same time.

The Jade Cicada streaked past, instantly absorbing the remaining True Origin Value—962 points.

This gave Yang Fan a small pleasant surprise.

After such a fierce battle, the Mutant Beast’s consumption wasn’t light, yet it still had this much True Origin Value left; that fully lived up to the title of High Rank Knight.

Besides that, he saw another huge surprise.

〖Nine-Yao Spirit God〗: Not activated, Middle grade Mental Superpower; activation requires consuming 3260 points of Spiritual Source Value and 380 points of True Origin Value.

Judging from the activation cost, this was definitely an exceptionally powerful Mental Superpower.

The Jade Cicada simultaneously provided detailed notes: Nine-Yao Spirit God not only greatly enhances Spiritual Power intensity, it also comes with many nifty tricks.

For example, just now when the Mutant Beast was hit by the powerful attack of Fiery Feather Sunflame, it released a Spiritual Power field that actually blocked over ninety percent of the sunflame fire—that was the effect of this Superpower.

The field has a name—Spirit God Heavenly Ring.

Another example: earlier when the Mutant Beast was being tracked by the high-level Magic Thread, it actually had the ability to interfere with the thread; that too was a miraculous effect of this Superpower.

As per usual, directly activating a Superpower isn’t cost-effective; fusion is the most economical way to save True Origin Points.

Yang Fan gripped the Jade Cicada, quickly scanned through, selected the previously activated Low grade Superpower〖Refining God〗, along with several other unactivated Superpowers, and initiated the fusion function.

True Origin Value instantly dropped by 165 points, and another powerful Superpower was immediately added to the Superpower list.

〖Nine-Yao Spirit God: Activated, Middle grade Mental Superpower, current Evolution Level 32%.〗

His Attributes likewise underwent a leap.

[physical Value: 1495]

[Spirit Value: 3084]

[Elemental Spirit: 44625]

physical Value didn’t rise much, only a bit over 20 points, but Spirit Value jumped by more than 150 points in one go, finally breaking the 3000-point mark.

For a Middle Rank Knight, this was an absolutely astonishing increase.

This once again verified a line from the Secret Scripture—starting from the Knight Level, the benefits gained from improving Superpowers far outweigh those from improving bodily Attributes.

Yang Fan’s mind moved, and two broad, pale-silver Magic Threads quickly surfaced.

One of them was connected to the crocodile monster that had just chickened out and left.

The other pointed toward the Black Swirl Birdman.

Since you’ve run into this Knight, don’t even think about getting away!

But he was slapped in the face right away.

The second Magic Thread extended barely over a hundred kilometers before hitting its limit and being forced to terminate.

Yang Fan paused, showing a hint of surprise: “These Birdman sure can run; looks like it’ll be hard to catch them.”

Even with just his toes, he could guess that the Black Swirl Birdman possessed a group teleport Spatial Secret Technique. Terrified of enjoying the Big Treasure Sword combo, they’d fled in a panic.

On the other hand, this indicated one thing: the strength of the Black Swirl civilization wasn’t weak; otherwise, they wouldn’t dare hunt crocodile monsters.

Yang Fan shook his head, full of regret at watching a huge chunk of True Origin Value grow legs and run away.

Ten minutes later.

The Middle Rank Knight Level crocodile monster lay on the ground, not daring to move a muscle, every single scale on its body practically spelled out the word “fear”.

It simply couldn’t not be afraid, because a terrifying Big Treasure Sword—namely, the Taiyue Sword—was hanging right above its head.
