Chapter 262: Secrets of the Sea of Realms, The All Purpose Lord’s Heart 2

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

“Are the other two Black Dragons from the same Dragon Tomb as you?”

“No, there should be many Dragon Tombs. Before coming to Blue Star, I didn’t know them, but we’ve had conversations, and we can be certain that we all come from the same destroyed world.”

Despite being Black Dragons themselves, they come from different Dragon Islands, and their world is enormous, with numerous Dragon Islands.

“After you came to Blue Star, were you still able to sense the situation of the Dragon Tomb?”

Zi Liyuan wanted to confirm whether the summoning by the Sea of Realms was random or if it could be influenced artificially.

“On the altar in the monster nest, I was able to sense the Dragon Tomb where I once stayed.

I could even summon the remaining Black Dragons from the tomb after the altar endowed the resurrection slots.

However, since you had the altar accept you as its master, I have temporarily lost that ability.

A mysterious force seems to be blocking my perception.

But I have a feeling that if I could evolve into an Epic Boss, I would be able to sense the Dragon Tomb again.”

Hearing what Daris had said, many thoughts crossed Zi Liyuan’s mind.

Clearly, the ability to sense the Dragon Tomb completely depends on one’s own power, or it can also be assisted by external forces, such as a specific altar.

“As a Lord Black Dragon evolving into an Epic Black Dragon, do you have a definite method in your inherited memories?”

The intelligence extracted from the three Black Dragons included a material called [Dragon King Blood], which is an Epic Quality material representing the blood of the Giant Dragon King. It can help dragons or their bloodline descendants to purify their own bloodline, greatly increasing the chances of advancing to a higher level.

However, the closer one is to the level of the Giant Dragon King, the weaker the effect of [Dragon King Blood] becomes.

For Daris, as a Lord Black Dragon Boss, she is only one tier below the Giant Dragon King, the Epic Boss, so [Dragon King Blood] can only slightly increase her bloodline purity, nowhere near enough to meet the standards for promotion.

Nevertheless, after the three Black Dragons were captured and enslaved by Lord Zi, all three portions of [Dragon King Blood] that were supposed to be traded with the Coalition of Nations fell into his hands.

And now, he has given all three portions to Daris, the Black Dragon Sister.

One portion’s effect on bloodline purification may be limited, but what about three? Even if it does not result in an evolution, it certainly has significantly purified her bloodline, right?

“Certainly, but the methods are all very stringent.

The first is to use a large amount of [Dragon King Blood] to purify the bloodline until the promotion is complete. The required amount entirely depends on the bloodline purity of the dragon using it.

In my case, I would need at least seven more [Dragon King Blood] to meet the minimum standards for evolving into an Epic.

The second method involves using the Lord’s Heart. Ten Lord’s Hearts would allow a high-ranking creature who is a Lord Boss to successfully promote to an Epic Boss template.

However, the Lord’s Heart is too precious; using it in this way would be too wasteful.

The third method is through some high-quality treasures or artifacts that can also make a Lord Boss evolve into an Epic Boss.

But such treasures or artifacts are incredibly rare and difficult to come by.”

There are more than these three methods for a Lord Black Dragon to evolve into an Epic Black Dragon King, but Daris did not elaborate, as the other methods are more sinister.

For example, a blood sacrifice using a massive amount of vengeful energy from the blood and resentment of living beings can allow a Black Dragon to ascend to an Epic Black Dragon King.

The beings sacrificed must be from the Wisdom species, the higher their life tier, the better. As for the necessary number of sacrifices, it starts from at least a million beings.

Dare she tell Zi Liyuan this kind of information?

It’s not just about him being a Necromancer, naturally inclined toward darkness and death—that’s just the nature of his profession. Power itself is neither good nor bad; it all depends on who wields it.

She doesn’t know yet what kind of person Zi Liyuan is. What if he is kind-hearted?

If she mentioned it, would she not be cast aside and subjected to all sorts of hindrances?

Of course, she also knew that this fellow was no saint, as could be deduced from his ruthless slaughter of life on Dragon Island.

“The Lord’s Heart, huh? Interesting, this item seems to have a lot of uses.”

He knew the Lord’s Heart was precious, but apart from knowing it activated a personal lord panel after entering the Sea of Realms and purified monster nests, permanently closing the spatial passages of different dimensions they opened, Zi Liyuan was really clueless about its other purposes.

Now, hearing that the Lord’s Heart could make BOSS monsters evolve, his eyes glittered with a dense light that was the welcoming glow of countless Epic Bosses beckoning him.

Is it difficult to obtain the Lord’s Heart?

Of course, it is!

The Lord’s Heart can only be found in special treasure chests, such as copies of the original treasure chests and monster nest origin treasure chests.

The chances of extracting one are also very low. For example, Zi Liyuan had once opened a copy origin treasure chest, and at that time, the probability of getting a Lord’s Heart was a mere 0.01%.

Without him hugging the lucky goddess’s black silk long legs to sleep every day, he wouldn’t stand a chance of opening this thing.

The probability of obtaining it from the monster nest origin treasure chests is slightly higher, but after all, it’s a matter of luck.

But in the hands of Lord Zi, doesn’t he just need to stretch out a hand?

The only thing restricting him from getting a large number of Lord’s Hearts is now the time required to find wild copies or monster nests.

“Perhaps, I could cooperate with the military, such as letting them bring the origin treasure chests for me to open, and then we split the profits fifty-fifty?”

That’s an option, but the military would likely disagree.

Copy origin treasure chests are fine, as one chest can only produce one item. But it’s different with monster nest origin treasure chests. These are guaranteed to explode with loot.

When he opened the nest origin treasure chest and saw the array of items spewing forth, covering the entire altar, even Zi Liyuan’s eyes blurred, especially seeing the number of resource cards which could only be used in the Sea of Realms.

These resource cards, the military would never let go.

However, exchanging them for the Lord’s Heart, it’s not impossible to cooperate with the military.

The current problem is that he must get a large number of Lord’s Hearts.

He had promised to help Number Two advance his talents, which would require consuming quite a few Lord’s Hearts, let alone using them to cultivate Epic Bosses.

Daris flew swiftly, and in just over an hour, they reached their destination.

As far as the eye could see, the vast blue sea lay unbroken, showing no signs of abnormality.

Without the “Elemental Map” detection skill combined with the vision of the Eye of Death, he would have been deceived.

The Array Fog of War, like an illusion, confuses the senses of those who pass this place.

Without special detection abilities, the anomaly here would be undetectable.

At this moment, the “Elemental Map” indicated an island shrouded in the Array Fog of War below.

“An Array Fog of War on the same level as Dragon Island? Is this thing really so worthless?”

After all, it’s a Purple Epic quality item; its only restriction is that it needs an island to use, making it seem as common as dirt.

“The Coalition of Nations sure did splurge to set up their spies, but it looks like I’m the one who’s going to benefit.”

Zi Liyuan had Daris hover in midair and raised his Magic Wand, chanting incantations as a colossal summoning array formed in the sky.

As the miasma of death spread, Bone Dragon Bosses emerged one by one from the summoning array, then perfectly aligned behind the Black Dragon Sister.

“Summon the Replicas and go on a killing spree below. No survivors needed!”

If he was going to cooperate with the Great Xia Empire’s military, then by the way, it was only reasonable to help them clear out foreign spies, right?

If that’s reasonable, then surely it’s reasonable for Lord Zi to get a little compensation?

The Bone Dragon Boss Team, the original ones, obediently flew high above, while the summoned Replicas, like dumplings, dive-bombed downwards, plunging headfirst into the Array Fog of War.

The fog was designed to mislead direction, but surely gravity’s free-fall effect couldn’t be misdirected, right?

So, the Bone Dragon Boss Replicas’ strategy to penetrate the fog was quite simple: free fall for a while, and then use floating to slow down, ensuring the descent wasn’t too rapid to shatter their bodies upon impact.

Alternating between free-falling and slow-floating, the Bone Dragon Boss Replicas soon started crashing onto the island’s surface.
