nChapter 244: Seven-Star Treasure, Mysterious Palace (1)

nTranslator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

nWow, that’s a Golden Legend, What the…! A 7-star treasure!

nIn general, treasures were categorized from 1 to 7 stars, where 7 stars represented the highest commonly encountered level, and anything beyond that was deemed legendary.

nThis sword was a 7-star treasure, making it a top-tier item.

nCompared to the 6-star Dragon Slayer Great Sword, the Sword of Warlords had more additional effects and even came with two skills.

nOne could unleash sword energy, while the other could generate a golden shield.

nTo be honest, these two skills made Ji Chen’s battle against Solin ten times more challenging.

nWithout this Sword of Warlord, Ji Chen would have found the battle considerably easier.

nHowever, it was the final additional effect that caught Ji Chen’s attention.

n@ Self-Recovery (When equipped, it accelerates the recovery of any injuries, weakening negative effects)

nAccelerating recovery from any injuries…

nSo, could it heal severed limbs?

nJi Chen decided to try it immediately, gripping the Sword of Warlords tightly.

nJust after around ten seconds, he felt an itching sensation at the wound on his left arm. It was as if a thousand ants were crawling on it, their tendrils constantly touching the injury, gradually heating up.

nLifting his arm and examining it closely, he noticed that the dried-up wound had developed tiny red buds of flesh, and the pallid bone displayed a more lively state.

nAt this rate, it would likely take about a week for his severed left arm to fully regrow, restoring it to its original state.

nSeeing this, Ji Chen finally let out a sigh of relief. Although he knew beforehand that there were treasures and potions that could restore severed limbs, suddenly losing an arm still gave him a fright.

nGripping the Sword of Warlords, Ji Chen meticulously combed through Solin’s remains and the surrounding area, swiftly locating his target.

nA sparkling, crystal-clear, red gemstone lay quietly beneath a few pieces of white bone, resembling a crystal.

nThis was Solin’s Heroic Soul Essence!

nRed Heroic Soul Essence

nTier: Special

nEffect: Can immediately promote a hero with the potential for a Red-Legacy Tier to that level.

nA red Heroic Soul Essence!!

nThis was a big discovery!

nThis meant that the Crown of the Ocean would have an additional hero of the Red-Legacy Tier!

nAfter searching around, he found the scabbard, but it had already been damaged, leaving only half of it.

nClearly, this scabbard wasn’t a treasure. It was merely used for embellishing the Sword of Warlords.

nConfirming that Solin had dropped only the Sword of Warlords and a red Heroic Soul Essence, Ji Chen shook his head with a hint of disappointment.

nEvidently, as the ruler of this realm, Solin only possessing only these two items, it was difficult to comprehend how this Skeleton King ascended to power.

nIf he had heard Ji Chen’s sarcastic comment, Solin would have probably leaped up from the ground in anger.

nAfter a hearty round of internal sarcasm, Ji Chen weakly gestured with his hand, commanding his army to start cleaning up the battlefield and searching for any valuable spoils of war.

nSeveral hours later, the other gains from this battle were laid out before them.

nBesides an Intermediate-grade Bone Forge, there were five blue Heroic Soul Essences, twelve green Heroic Soul Essences, and twenty-seven white Heroic Soul Essences.

nThese Heroic Soul Essences were all obtained from the Skeleton Commanders under Solin’s command during this battle.

nAlthough this quantity didn’t match the number of Skeleton Commanders they had encountered earlier, there were still a few white ones missing. Yet, they were unwilling to invest more time and effort sifting through the immense heap of bones.

nAdding up what they had obtained so far:

nJi Chen’s collection of Heroic Soul Essences now numbered thirty-seven white, eleven green, and five blue.

nAt this moment, Anina walked over, holding a green Heroic Soul Essence in her hand.

nFacing Ji Chen’s slightly puzzled gaze, Anina casually explained, “This belongs to the Skeleton Commander guarding this Skeleton Camp.”

nAt her words, Ji Chen remembered that when he had eliminated the Skeleton Commander overseeing this encampment earlier, Solin’s unexpected appearance had disrupted the proceedings, causing him to overlook gathering the essence

nAdding this one to the count, the current total of green Heroic Soul Essences should be twelve.

nAfter cleaning up the battlefield, Ji Chen once again picked up the Sword of Warlords. With a thought, he infused it with mana.

nThe golden gemstone on the sword hilt suddenly emitted a brilliant light, projecting a map in front of him. The map displayed a marker suspended in the air.

nJi Chen focused his gaze and quickly drew a conclusion.

nThe marker represented a location within this realm, seemingly deep within… the red desert?

nBoth on an emotional and logical level, Ji Chen believed it was essential for him to journey to that location. After all, the 7-star treasure had provided a hint, suggesting there could be unforeseen rewards awaiting him.

nWith the death of the Skeleton King Solin, his most elite legion had turned to dust, and the remaining skeletons within the realm had scattered. The only concern now was the mutated skeletons.

nGlancing at the deepening sky, Ji Chen decided to wait until dawn before setting off.

nThe next morning, as soon as Ji Chen woke up, he immediately checked the progress of his left arm’s recovery. The wound had grown new skin like fresh leaves on a withered tree branch, appearing pale and delicate, almost like the skin of a baby. It didn’t look as ugly anymore.

nThe Ocean Crown’s army began their journey. After walking several kilometers, they left behind the gray and decaying swamp, entering the red desert once more.

nJi Chen opened the map again.

nThe marked location was deep within the desert, a considerable distance away from the swamp. The journey ahead was quite distant.

nFortunately, it wasn’t too far from the Mystic Realm Gate, so after exploring that place, they could proceed to leave this place..
