Chapter 258: 217: Great Harvest, Purple Quality Altar, Bone Dragon Legion Formed!_2
"Puppy, go tear that heart apart."
The Lord Bone Dragon, which had just suffered a huge loss in an experiment, immediately climbed onto the altar under the command of Lord Zi and launched an attack on the blood-colored heart embedded at the top of the altar.
The Bone Dragon's claws, with immense power, scratched several bloodstains on the blood-colored heart, but not in the way Lord Zi had hoped, tearing the heart into several pieces directly.
"Such strong protection, huh?"
Just now, a single "Bone Spear" had pierced right through the blood-colored heart, and Zi Liyuan had thought it was extremely fragile, but the heart withstood the Bone Dragon's claws, leaving only a few bloodstains on the surface.
"A dog with no presence, it seems in the future you can only rely on numbers to bully the weak."
Sighing, Zi Liyuan felt helpless about the Bone Dragon's lack of performance.
Indeed, it was not without reason it was considered the least impressive Fourth Order creature, unable to handle such a trivial task.
"Behemoths, get to work, tear this heart apart for me!"
Shaking his head, Zi Liyuan summoned the frost behemoth and the golden Behemoth. Watching the enormous creatures swing their massive claws down, tearing gaping bloody wounds in the blood-colored heart, he nodded his head in satisfaction.
Indeed, it was the epic behemoth bosses that were reliable, shattering the defenses of the heart with a single slap.
The blood-colored heart did not last long before it was torn to shreds by the four behemoths.
[Ding, careerist Zi Liyuan has destroyed the Monster Nest's Heart · Black Dragon's Nest (Gold), and obtained a special Monster Nest treasury chest.]
"I didn't expect it would come to me so easily."
Looking at the treasure chest in his Spatial Backpack, as tall as a person and radiating blood-colored light, Zi Liyuan's mouth couldn't help but twist into a smirk.
Special Monster Nest Origin Chest (Gold): A treasure chest condensed from the origin of a monster nest. Opening it will provide a rich resource reward.
(Note: 50% chance to draw gold Lord Grade materials, 30% chance to draw gold Lord Grade items, 15% chance to draw gold Lord Grade equipment, 4% chance to draw gold Lord Grade skills, 0.99% chance to draw gold Lord Grade blueprint, 0.01% chance to draw a gold Lord Grade Lord's Heart.)
This chest was not much different from the [Special Dungeon Origin Chest (Gold)] that Zi Liyuan once obtained, but one was a dungeon origin chest and the other a monster nest chest.
"Tch, Lady Luck waifu, it's all up to your sheer black long legs today, isn't it? You have to give me a Lord's Heart at the very least. As for the rest, just give me the most valuable treasures!"
It's beneficial for one's mental and physical health to take a peek at Lady Luck's black long legs through his talent panel every now and then, isn't it?
As for hand-washing, bathing, changing clothes, fasting, stepping in dog poo or other means to enhance luck, whoever wants it can take it, but Lord Zi only needed to cling to Lady Luck waifu's sheer black long legs to be done.
So, without further ado, Zi Liyuan took out the blood-colored luxury box and flipped the lid open, and immediately...
A shower of blood light rose, painting the entire space in a hue of blood red.
In Zi Liyuan's eyes, the space around him was suddenly filled with various distortions, and he could see the endless stars and the depths of the universe.
At that moment, phantom chains appeared, weaving together to form a huge net.
But just as he widened his eyes to take a clearer look, the entire space became hazy, dreamlike, and illusory.
Right then, a rhombus crystal emitting a faint golden glow was floating in front of him.
Lord's Heart (Gold): A rule crystal condensed from the essence of a dungeon, used in the Sea of Realms to activate and open the second page of the careerist's Lord template.
The introduction was very simple, but the functionality was extremely powerful.
Wasn't this precisely the Lord's Heart that he had just asked Lady Luck waifu for?
Besides, the blood-colored treasure chest seemed to have triggered a sort of switch, spewing out one piece after another, scattering them all on the ground.
[Black Dragon's Nest Building Blueprint (Sea of Realms · Gold Boss)], [Black Dragon Summoning Card (Gold)] x10, [Dragon-blooded Warrior Summoning Card (Silver)] x50, [White Flying Dragon Summoning Card (Blue)] x500...
A blueprint from the Sea of Realms allowed a Sea of Realms lord to summon a Black Dragon Lord Boss!
This is a Fourth Order top-tier creature, although it's just a Lord Boss template, but as long as enough are amassed, creating an army of Black Dragon Lord Bosses is completely without issue!
Tears of emotion slid unconsciously from the corner of Lord Zi's mouth.
He had finally reaped a resource usable in the Sea of Realms, making his effort to eradicate this monster lair worthwhile.
Such good fortune suggests that he should do this more often, so upon returning, he would immediately inform General Huang to arrange more missions involving the conquest of wild monster lairs!
Moving past the blueprint, he looked at the rest of the items, with summoning cards being the most prominent.
There were several hundred summoning cards of different grades, among which the most valuable were naturally the Black Dragon summoning cards.
A total of 10 Black Dragon summoning cards meant he could summon 10 Lord Level Black Dragon Bosses! Not to mention the subsequent Bosses descended from dragon blood.
Alas, for Zi Liyuan, these cards weren't as valuable as one might imagine; they could mostly only serve as resources to trade with others.
After all, the creatures summoned by these cards would require a servitude pact to be controlled.
Doing so would take up a considerable portion of his Soul, hindering his use of undead naval tactics, since summoning the undead also consumes Soul Value.
However, he definitely wouldn't trade away the Black Dragon summoning cards, as they could be kept to train his own subordinates—wouldn't that be delightful?
For instance, a certain Beast Tamer who had gotten as round as a ball was a perfect candidate; after all, well-behaved children get to eat, don't they?
Beyond the summoning cards, the Scarlet Chest spewed out many other items, with materials and tools amounting to hundreds of drops.
Nevertheless, the items of real use weren't many, but a fair amount of Sea of Realms resources dropped.
For example, Wood Card (Sea of Realms·100 units), Iron Ingot Card (Sea of Realms·100 units)...
Dozens of these Sea of Realms resource cards dropped, all of which were earnestly stowed away by Zi Liyuan into his Spatial Backpack.
These resource cards, in the Dragon Academy's treasure pavilion, could be exchanged but at exorbitant prices.
A mere 10 units of resource card would cost 1000 Contribution Value, which suggested how precious Sea of Realms resources were.
"The Dragon Academy has the support of several great empires from the Sea of Realms, so it has vast Sea of Realms resources, cultivating numerous Sea of Realms Lords every year.
The officials of the Great Xia Empire also cultivate quite a number of Sea of Realms Lords every year; it seems the military's continuous conquests of monster lairs have collected their Sea of Realms resources together."
Engrossed in thought, Zi Liyuan pondered much.
Watching the Scarlet Chest vanish after disgorging its contents, Zi Liyuan promptly packed up the items and then approached the altar's top holding the newly acquired Lord's Heart.
The fragments of the blood-colored heart had disappeared, leaving a gap, into which he unhesitatingly placed the Lord's Heart.
Instantly, the purple-grade altar began to emanate waves of golden radiance.
[Ding, professional Zi Liyuan, by using the Lord's Heart, has activated "Summoning Altar·Creature Replication (Purple)," completing the altar's owner recognition ceremony!]
[Ding, congratulations to professional Zi Liyuan on acquiring the right to use "Summoning Altar·Creature Replication (Purple)"]
Without hesitation, Zi Liyuan once again controlled the Lord Bone Dragon Boss he had just summoned to come atop the altar and led it to infuse a strand of Dragon Soul into it.
This time, with no obstacles, the altar accepted the infusion, and a glow of blood-light shone upon the Bone Dragon.
At once, an unknown transformation took place in the Bone Dragon, and a clone replication skill appeared in its skill bar.
Without a second's hesitation, he directly manipulated the Bone Dragon to use the newfound skill.
With a distortion in the void, six Bone Dragons appeared behind it, even the ferocious cracks on their skull replicated exactly!
"Hahaha... my Bone Dragon Legion... has formed!"
