Chapter 992 - 504: Lotus of Rebirth, Mei Jia Savior (Part 2)

Yang Fan raised a finger and pointed at its head.

With a "bang," the head exploded.

This powerful knight-level monster thus perished.

Yang Fan reviewed the battle in his mind, deeply moved: "No wonder the ’Secret Scripture’ emphasizes that at the knight level, the strength of superpowers is far more important than physical attributes."

In terms of physical attributes, this monster’s physical value was at least 3000 points, and its spirit value was also not inferior to his, yet it was still easily defeated by him without any ability to retaliate.

"Squeak!"

Accompanied by a clear cry.

The Soul Stealing Wisp flashed past, stealing the monster’s remaining life origin power.

Yang Fan reached out to catch the spirit wisp, checked it briefly, and was somewhat dissatisfied: "Only 218 points of true origin value?"

Thinking carefully, this is actually normal.

Knight powerhouses definitely have more than 218 points of true origin value, but killing a knight inevitably involves intense combat, which will consume a large amount of power, so the remaining true origin value would naturally not be too much.

As for superpowers.

This time, surprisingly, a middle-grade superpower was drawn.

〖Lord of Sand〗: Not activated, middle-grade hybrid element superpower, requires consuming 820 spiritual source value and 85 true origin value to activate. Activating this superpower will cause permanent mutation of limbs, please activate cautiously.

The excessive activation consumption proves the strength of this superpower.

But Yang Fan glanced at "permanent mutation of limbs," and lost all interest.

He now has a wife and children, and more than one at that, so why not be sensible and avoid mutation?

He made a virtual grab at the monster’s corpse, stored it in a space pearl, and immediately tore open space to enter.

The spoils were not yet fully scavenged; there was still a place with treasure waiting for him.

A minute later.

Yang Fan entered the core of the giant sand sphere, which was where the monster used to hide.

The environment here could be described as reeking of a stench that seemed to seep into the soul.

Clearly, this was the scent the monster favored.

Yang Fan immediately mobilized elemental spirit to isolate the stench, and began searching for treasures everywhere.

He possesses the Treasure Hunting Eye superpower and can sense that there are good things everywhere here.

"Blue Blood Root? Not bad! This thing contains a soul toxin, but the potion prepared from it can reach Level 3 potion standards, having considerable effect on early-stage knights, just be careful when consuming, so as not to poison oneself."

"Is this Sky Pattern Soft Gold? This Level 3 exotic material is quite rare; its value is comparable to ordinary Level 4 exotic materials. It can absorb and store elemental spirit, and release it during attacks, serving as a power amplifier."

"Eh? This seems to be a tooth. This tooth alone is two meters long; how large was this creature when alive? Wow, why is it so heavy, probably over a hundred tons! This thing contains a lot of metal components and can likely be refined into many rare metals.

"Let me use the Past Star Formation to see what this tooth’s origin is... ’Sand Abyss Demon Seed,’ what is this? ’Sand Abyss’ sounds like a certain region of the Black Sand Sea, feels like it’s not too distant from here, might get a chance to check it out sometime."

The expanse of the Sea of Death Black Sand is practically endless, with peculiar and dangerous regions numbering in the hundreds of thousands.

The Iron Fist Race prides itself on understanding the Black Sand Sea very well, but in actuality, the regions they’ve touched are just a drop in the ocean.

Yang Fan enthusiastically played the treasure hunting game for quite a while, discovering three Level 4 exotic materials, sixteen Level 3 exotic materials, and even more Level 1 and Level 2, totaling over three hundred kinds.

Aside from these, there were also a variety of quirky items.

This monster roamed the desert sea for over two hundred years, and its lifelong accumulation of treasures all went to him.

Worth mentioning is that among them, there was one item that made Yang Fan hesitate for a while before deciding to take it away.

That was — feces.

Namely — the feces of the Quicksand Ant Knight!

This monster wasn’t particularly messy, as it had separately established a huge area to serve as a toilet, where decades-old accumulated feces were gathered, amounting in "thousands of tons."

The power of the Past Star Formation told him that this giant dung heap had many components that brought magical effects for plant cultivation.

Therefore, Yang Fan pinched his nose and, despite being a venerable knight, took on the job of "dung shoveler."

Of course, there was no need for him to shovel the dung personally.

All that was required was to open up the Spirit Tree Space; the Spirit Tree could send out thousands of roots to pack away this century-old toilet.

Before long.

Yang Fan completed his scavenging, tore open space, and returned to the ground.

This patch of quicksand area, having lost its master who controlled it, was gradually returning to peace.

He once again retrieved the Tracking Blind Eye and inserted it into his left eye.

The magical power from the civilization’s curiosities immediately allowed him to sense the rough location of another knight-level monster nearby.

Since he was here, just killing one isn’t enough, right?

Of course, kill to the heart’s content!

*

Hundreds of kilometers away.

A slender figure with golden eyes, surrounded by faint blue ripples, appeared amidst the vast sandstorm.

It was — Mermaid.

As a royal family member of Mei Jia Civilization and one who is highly valued, Miss Jana carried several valuable treasures.

Back when Canglan Star had descended into the Primordial World for less than a year, its position was unpredictable, she was able to traverse a distant time-space to reach Canglan Star thanks to these treasures.

This is a feat even ordinary venerables find hard to achieve.

Earlier, the mermaid sneaked to the World Gate in Eastern City, using a space element treasure to directly penetrate the space barrier into the Sea of Death Black Sand, without alerting anyone in the process.

At this moment.

Miss Jana was holding a shimmering pendant, a heart-shaped blue gemstone hanging from it.

The gemstone seemed plain on the surface, but upon closer inspection, it appeared to conceal a world within, faint sounds of waves could be heard.

The mermaid gently caressed the blue gemstone with her jade-like fingers, soft halos emanating, with a fleeting phantom of a silhouette.

This was none other than Yang Fan.

Miss Jana chuckled softly: "Yang Fan... Mr. Ghost... Mr. Spirit Crows... If I hadn’t ventured out today and used the ’Mei Jia Holy Spirit Eye’ to trace, I wouldn’t have known you all are the same person.

"Are you worried about having too many abilities concentrated in one person, being too startling, so you deliberately created multiple identities to spread out those abilities, thus avoiding too much attention, right?"

She ran a hand through her hair, exuding elegance: "It seems the Holy High Priest sacrificed half her life to prophesy that the Mei Jia Savior has a ninety-nine percent probability of being you.

"Hard to believe, that the super powerhouse destined to help Mei Jia People overcome the Great Destruction Tribulation was actually born into such a feeble race."

The newborns of the Mei Jia People, over a third of them can harness supernatural power to control water, the talented ones can even kill a big one-meter fish directly from birth.

Compared to this, the young of the Canglan People seem pathetically weak.

Miss Jana shifted her right hand and reactivated the pendant’s power: "Tell me where the Mei Jia Savior has gone and what he has done in the Black Sand Sea."

"Buzz!"

The pendant vibrated gently.

It provided intel — just ten minutes ago, the target engaged in combat with a formidable quicksand ant.

The mermaid showed surprise immediately: "A knight-level quicksand ant? That thing isn’t easy to deal with."

She considered, if not for her many treasures, it would be tough to handle such a quicksand ant.

Miss Jana smiled again: "It’s just the right time to go over and lend you a hand."

A dark blue beam shot from her brow, easily tearing open a spatial rift.

The mermaid stepped in, and immediately witnessed the quicksand area traced by the pendant.

The area was perfectly nestled among three giant sand dunes, spanning over 150 square kilometers.

A "valley" topography like this is precisely what many creatures of the Black Sand Sea favor, naturally making it a superb hunting ground.

Miss Jana merely took one glance before sensing something off: "Why is the quicksand below nearly stopped?"

She swiftly retrieved the pendant and initiated another trace.

An image appeared in her mind: A figure standing beside a six-meter-long monster, pointing a finger at the monster’s forehead, causing the monster’s head to explode with a "bang."

Mermaid’s beautiful eyes widened: "Yang Fan killed this knight-level monster so quickly?"
