Lu Ming commanded the Reaper to refine all the bodies on the scene, whether they belonged to pyers or Bde Ghosts.
After all, the bodies of these pyers were torn apart and destroyed beyond recognition. Refining them might actually give them a bit of dignity.
Next, Lu Ming focused his attention on the Ghost Cores.
"Out of eight Bde Ghosts, only three first-tier Ghost Cores dropped. It seems the drop rate for these cores is quite low."
Lu Ming recalled that these three Ghost Cores were picked up next to the bodies of the six Bde Ghosts hunted by the Undead Legion.
The two killed by Dragon Soul Guan Yu didn't drop any!
It was clear that getting three was thanks to Lin Youwei's 520% drop rate bonus!
But as they say, rarity increases value.
A low drop rate only highlights its worth!
Unfortunately, cracking a first-tier Ghost Core requires 10 points of divine power.
And from killing the six Bde Ghosts earlier, Lu Ming only gained 6 points of divine power.
He couldn't crack the Ghost Cores just yet.
Fortunately, though.
"As an Agent of the Gods, hunting ordinary monsters also grants divine power, not just ghost creatures!"
With this in mind, Lu Ming immediately joined Qin Churan and Lin Youwei for a trip to the Nether Ghost Tower, eager to hunt monsters to gather the remaining 4 points of divine power!
As usual, they headed straight to the eighth realm, the Shadow Nest.
War Tread—
Life Barrier—
Wind Rush—
Prison of Earth—
Unbreakable—
The five-yer formation continued to unfold.
With a 52-fold extreme enhancement, the level 38 Assassin Qin Churan transformed into a Starry Night Dancer, her figure like a phantom weaving through the monster horde.
Ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh!
With each swing of her bde, undead were shattered.
-103245!
-102564!
-101999!
...
The overwhelming normal attack damage made Qin Churan skip using skills altogether.
Just two normal attacks were enough to easily kill a level 50 undead with 150,000 health points!
On the other side, the level 29 Mage Lin Youwei raised her staff.
Boom!
An F-grade Fireball spell bsted towards a level 49 undead warrior—
146524!
Roar...
With a wail, the full-health undead warrior was instantly killed, turning into a pile of bones scattered on the ground.
Lin Youwei's mouth opened wide: "Oh my! My damage has increased again!"
This damage shocked the nearby level 46-50 pyers also farming undead, leaving them speechless.
Seeing that the caster was just a young mage girl in her twenties, a group of older pyers felt ashamed.
With Lu Ming's three major talents upgraded to Lv4, his formation bonuses became even higher.
Plus, with the enhancement from the 3-star artifact World Annihition Chapter.
Being Lu Ming's teammate was truly a great fortune!
"Unfortunately, the effect of the World Annihition Chapter's Divine Might skill is based on the pyer's base attributes."
"If it included the Sword Draw attack bonus, the enhancement would be amazing."
Lu Ming clicked his tongue.
Of course, he was already quite satisfied, as the effect of [Divine Might] was permanent and required no consumption.
Despite the fact that, under the influence of the Comprehensive Amplification talent, all of Lu Ming's skills could be continuously deployed with almost no cooldown...
"Well, the mana recovery skill extracted from the Moon Demon set has expired, and the five-yer formation consumes a total of 233 mana points per second, which is a bit of a drain."
Saying this, Lu Ming gnced at the 1-star artifact Ring of Source Power on his hand (enhanced by Comprehensive Amplification, increasing the wearer's mana by 520% and mana recovery by 52%), and his smile was hard to suppress.
"Wow! 39,494 mana points, with a recovery of 97 points per second, I can't use it all! It's impossible to use it all!"
Under the sughter of 1,240 undead, the undead in the Shadow Nest were being harvested like crazy.
Now, each refinement granted 3 points of soul power, and Lu Ming's summoning panel showed soul power accumuting rapidly.
Lu Ming was evolving one third-tier Death Lord after another into fourth-tier Reapers.
The goal of having an entire team of Reapers was getting closer.
The only downside was that after ten minutes of the Undead Legion's killing, not a single point of divine power was gained!
"Is divine power really this hard to obtain?"
However, Lu Ming firmly believed that the rarer something was, the more precious it became.
He was increasingly eager to see what cracking a Ghost Core would yield!
After all, even if an ordinary person obtained it, they couldn't crack it.
Because ordinary people couldn't obtain divine power through any means.
It was essentially beled as "God-exclusive"!
Indeed, it proved to be exceptionally rare.
After more than half an hour, after sying thousands of undead, he finally heard a battle prompt with an elevated notification sound and a golden prompt panel—
[Ding~ Congratutions on luckily obtaining 1 point of divine power during the process of killing a level 50 undead knight!]
Lu Ming's eyes lit up.
The feeling was akin to drinking a certain energy drink for over a decade and finally winning a free bottle one day!
Previously, when killing Bde Ghosts, one Bde Ghost granted 1 point of divine power, and Lu Ming felt unsatisfied.
Now, Lu Ming suddenly thought, "Those ghost beasts were really generous! One gave 1 point!"
In hindsight, he shouldn't have let Dragon Soul Guan Yu kill those two Bde Ghosts, causing Lu Ming to lose 2 points of divine power. Now, who knows how many small monsters he would have to kill to make up for those 2 points!
It wasn't until past ten at night that he finally gathered the 4th point of divine power!
"Finally gathered 10 points of divine power!"
Lu Ming looked at the divine panel in front of him and took out a first-tier Ghost Core from his bag.
[Ding~ 10 points of divine power have been injected, cracking the first-tier Ghost Core...]
As the Ghost Core in his hand turned into a burst of light and disappeared.
The next second.
[Ding~ Congratutions on activating the Divine Soul: Guardian (Lv1)!]
[Guardian] (Lv1): Permanently increases the Agent of the Gods' armor value by 10%.
"A permanent attribute increase?"
"And it's a percentage increase!"
Seeing the effect of the [Guardian] Divine Soul, Lu Ming couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.
Because it's well-known:
In the Sky Abyss world, aside from leveling up, the only way pyers can gain permanent attribute increases is through the [Arena] unlocked at level 30.
By participating in daily PK matches, earning points, and exchanging those points for attributes in the shop.
And the attributes avaible in the Arena Points Shop are fixed attribute bonuses.
Percentage attributes like this are ultra-rare bonuses, only accessible to top city, provincial, and national pyers!
"And judging by this, the Divine Soul should be upgradeable in the future, increasing the percentage bonus!"
The Trickster css relies entirely on its own attributes for all formation bonuses.
It's the css with the lowest attribute growth among the eight major csses, yet it's the most dependent on panel attributes!
Opening the status panel, he saw that under the bonus of this [Guardian] Divine Soul, his armor value increased from 454 points to 499 points!
"Percentage bonuses become more significant as base attributes increase in the ter stages!"
At this moment, Lu Ming felt that the night's hard work was worth it!
There were still three first-tier Ghost Cores in his bag, meaning he needed another 30 points of divine power to crack them.
After cracking the Ghost Cores, Lu Ming had an even more important task: to continue accumuting divine power to activate the exclusive divine skill of the God of Luck, Fortuna!
"It seems the potential of the Agent of the Gods is quite immense!"
Checking the time, it was already past ten at night.
The day's activities came to an end.
The group headed back home.
Returning to the city and logging off, it was time for a te-night snack!
