Chapter 601, Rules of the God’s Tomb Secret Realm

Translator: Silavin

 

In the Secret Realm, there were many Treasure Chests. They were Graded in the order of White, Blue, Purple, and Red. The further one progressed, the more generous the Reward from opening these Treasure Chests.

 

Bosses would guard the Treasure Chests, so if one encounters a Boss and defeats it, by searching the vicinity, they were certain to find a Treasure Chest.

 

It had to be noted that those guarded by Bosses were High Grade Treasure Chests. Killing ordinary Monsters also has a certain probability of dropping Treasure Chests.

 

The Treasure Chests dropped by ordinary Bosses were mostly White Treasure Chests, with rather plain Rewards inside.

 

As for the contents of the Treasure Chests, that still needed further research. Still, generally, there were three types of items in the Treasure Chests.

 

The first type consists of weapons, equipment, Potions, Skill Books, etc. They were basically the same as Rewards for ordinary Secret Realms—be it from killing Monsters or Clearing.

 

If one was lucky, they could obtain a few valuable items, making the trip to the God’s Tomb Secret Realm worthwhile.

 

The second type was called Secret Realm Talismans.

 

These items were vital. They were basically akin to Enhancement Potions but could only be used within the God’s Tomb Secret Realm.

 

These Talismans have different uses, such as the most common Attribute Enhancement, or the relatively rare and extremely valuable Resurrection Talismans and Teleportation Talismans.

 

Using a Resurrection Talisman allows one to be resurrected from death within the Secret Realm.

 

This might seem strange, but this Secret Realm had many of its own Principles different from that of the outside world. Being killed here and being resurrected by the Secret Realm was not difficult to pull off.

 

As for the third type, these were even more formidable. Secret Realm Bound Relics.

 

There were not many different types of Secret Realm Bound Relics, only two kinds.

 

The first was the Skill Restriction Stone Seal.

 

After crushing it, it would form an Array with a diameter of about ten kilometres. Those within it would not be able to use any Skills, including the person who used the Skill Restriction Stone Seal.

 

Therefore, one of the reasons why the God’s Tomb Secret Realm is more suitable for Transformation Type Players to enter lies in the Skill Restriction Stone Seal.

 

Even if someone had an overpowered Skill, when faced with the Skill Restriction Stone Seal, they would not be able to use it.

 

Once someone enters the range of the Skill Restriction Stone Seal, only one thing that determines who would leave it alive was their own strength, their Attributes.

 

The Skill Restriction Stone Seal was not without solution though. If someone wishes to Clear its Effects, they could use another Skill Restriction Stone Seal.

 

Where two Skill Restriction Arrays overlap, they would cancel each other out, releasing the Skill Restriction.

 

Therefore, even Players who excel at using Skills must collect Skill Restriction Stone Seals when they encounter them.

 

After all, they were the only items that could counter itself.

 

Besides the Skill Restriction Stone Seal, there was another item that was even rarer, one which was coveted by all Players.

 

The God Slaying Ballista.

 

This item was truly a weapon meant for killing!

 

The God Slaying Ballista has three bolts with tremendous power. As long as one’s Endurance Attribute was not higher than two million, any Player would be immediately killed by it!

 

But who would have two million in their Endurance Attribute!?

 

So, whenever the God Slaying Ballista appears, it was basically a nightmare for the other Players. No matter who it is, as long as they possess the God Slaying Ballista, they would walk sideways around the whole Secret Realm.

 

Naturally, items like the God Slaying Ballista could only be obtained from Red Treasure Chests.

 

After arriving at the God’s Tomb Secret Realm, because the Map was too large, everyone was basically focussed on collecting these items in the early stages.

 

After using Secret Realm Talismans to stack Buffs, or collecting Skill Restriction Stone Seals, or even the God Slaying Ballistae, one would be prepped enough to meet and battle other Players.

 

After all, with such an enormous area to cover, it was not easy for Players to encounter each other.

 

However, the God’s Tomb Secret Realm naturally has its own rules that allow Players within the Secret Realm to encounter each other.

 

When someone collects all the key fragments and fuses them into a complete key, the God’s Tomb Secret Realm would provide guidance to all Players, sending down six pillars of light that would fall in different directions.

 

Among the positions indicated by these six pillars of light, only one was the true coordinates of the Divine Tempering Pool.

 

Only after uncovering the true location, and using the Divine Tempering Pool Key to open it, would one be allowed to take away all the Divine Tempering Liquid inside.

 

The person who takes away the Divine Tempering Liquid could choose whether to leave. When they leave, the Secret Realm would close, and everyone would be teleported away.

 

As for whether the person who obtained the Divine Tempering Liquid could safely take it away after being teleported out, that was not of any concern to the Secret Realm.

 

In the past, there have been situations where someone obtained the Divine Tempering Liquid and left, only to be killed outside and have their Divine Tempering Liquid robbed.

 

Later, this matter escalated, eventually forming a conflict between two Second Tier Ancient Noble Families, with one Ancient Noble Family even being eliminated as a result.

 

Throughout this journey, Lu Fan listened to Wang Tianlang recount everything about the God’s Tomb Secret Realm with great familiarity, nodding from time to time.

 

With Wang Tianlang present, he had gained a general understanding of the God’s Tomb Secret Realm.

 

If he had to explore everything himself, who knows how long it would take.

 

By the time others were already following the Secret Realm’s six pillars of light to search for the Divine Tempering Pool, if he were still foolishly grinding Bosses and looking for key fragments, how would he be any different from a tourist here to sightsee?

 

“Brother Lu,” Wang Tianlang changed how he addressed Lu Fan, striving to draw closer to him with a sheepish smile, “I believe that with your strength, as long as you don’t encounter Murong Sheng, no one would be your match. But, if you want to obtain the Divine Tempering Liquid, you should keep a low profile and grind Monsters here to accumulate more resources.”

 

“The Secret Realm Talismans opened from Treasure Chests can stack up, doubling a Player’s Attributes would not be a problem. Even though these Buffs will disappear after leaving the Secret Realm, they are still effective within the Secret Realm! Also, you must guard against the God Slaying Ballista!”

 

Speaking of this item, Wang Tianlang became more solemn. “That thing is truly terrifying. It’s said once, there was a Player ranked low in strength who, through picking up scraps and getting lucky, obtained a God Slaying Ballista. In the end, he found where the Divine Tempering Pool was located, hid in the shadows, and used the God Slaying Ballista to kill two strongest at the time, who were fighting against each other. There, he obtained the Divine Tempering Liquid.”

 

“Since that time, people have come to the God’s Tomb Secret Realm, recognising a single fact: whoever can obtain the God Slaying Ballista gets the Divine Tempering Liquid. After all, anyone who sees the God Slaying Ballista would retreat and dare not compete anymore.”
