Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 1226: Chapter 1224: Frostburn

[Name: Bone of the Gambler]

[Type: Special Item]

[Introduction: Pure white in color, originally a one-to-one copy of a phalanx.

The most precious part of it, obviously, lies in its inconceivable material.

However, in the eyes of a Transcendent, it’s nothing more than shattered remnants.

Gamblers consumed by ambition, desiring to further transcend their own selves.

But they haven’t yet lost their last shred of rationality, knowing that their bodies couldn’t withstand the power of transcendence.

Hence, the “uselessness” of these remnants has gained favor.

Of course, such hopes are ultimately dashed, as even the phalanx was melted down and cast into a die.

Portable and may slightly increase one’s luck.

Perhaps this stroke of luck is only reflected in the self-acknowledgment after a successful roll.

Just like the moment of a gambler’s glory.]

[Remarks: Whether pure remnants are pure or not, that is the question.]

Seems utterly useless at first glance, the introduction itself lacks confidence, fitting for something made from remnants.

After lamenting the Blind Eye Association’s tragic fate, Fu Qian did not waste any time and immediately examined the next special reward.

Indeed, one can roughly guess what it is just from its name.

Fu Qian toyed with a small die in his hand.

It was even lighter than the piece of bone he originally received, is there a loss from breaking and remelting?

This common issue with reprocessing isn’t unacceptable, but couldn’t it be a bit less rough?

After criticizing its implied message, the external appearance of the reward also made Fu Qian frown again.

Indeed, it’s the most ordinary six-sided die, but not only are all six faces uneven, each side is also irregular.

Together with its color, it’s like holding a freshly extracted wisdom tooth in hand.

Forget it, after all, it’s a level 3 task, and moreover, the last reward with “residue” in its name turned out to have quite good effects, might as well heed the advice for the time being.

And upon further reflection, the remark does hold an interesting point.

Putting the die away, Fu Qian moved on to inspect the last reward.

[Name: Eternity Lock]

[Type: Consumable]

[Introduction: A pill with a metallic sheen, seemingly containing a viscous, dense liquid within.

Once swallowed, it grants immunity to distortion and simultaneously results in permanent loss of advancement potential.

Limited to Second Phase and below]

[Remarks: The ancient materials used in its creation are nearly indigestible, which is said to make it a poison for Superior Beings—a concern those of weaker flesh would never have.]

This… the storage is quite impressive, the potency of the medicine hardly diminished.

Fu Qian picked up a lead-gray sphere from the palm of his hand and shook it next to his ear.

It indeed appeared to be liquid, and very heavy.

Just thinking casually, one could tell it derives from an attribute he had abandoned himself.

Both in nature and effect.

The reason for saying it hasn’t been discounted is that at the time he was clearly locked at Second Phase, and now this well-prepared pill still works for those below Second Phase.

Not just recycling waste, but it is even a rare case of not skimping on the material.

If he had an item like this when he was collaborating with Old Master Logan, things wouldn’t have been so troublesome later.

Of course, if he really gave this to him, considering that gentleman’s temperament, he’d probably be the first one to slap him to death, right?

All in all, it’s a good item, at the right time.

Additionally, this remark is quite interesting as well; the raw materials it refers to are clearly the Metallic Avian Blood brought back from the Blood Lake.

Because it is a poison that even a Superior Being could not digest and assimilate, it brings to mind those deformed phoenixes.

Could it be that some being consumed this substance, was poisoned to death, and due to its properties, couldn’t even be resurrected?

This is truly vicious; the survival environment for Superior Beings is seriously worrisome indeed!

Fu Qian shook his head, placed the pill bottle on the desk beside him, and continued to take out other items from his person to check the consumables used this time.

Two special characteristics are of course gone, Headcage was used once, Eternal Clarity Mind was used once, Blasphemy’s Embrace fired an arrow, and it’s even still in a Discoloration State…

Mercy, six bullets used…

The Eye Within the Eye ultimately wasn’t consumed, and instead…

Fu Qian raised his hand, looking at the new ring he had acquired.

The ring has no intricate engravings and doesn’t look particularly shiny at first glance, its silver-white surface giving off a faint blue hue, matching the tone of the mask provided by the Witch earlier.

But a closer look reveals that the ring itself is made of a transparent crystalline material, and the lunar radiance-like silver-white sheen is actually an illusion created by the clustering of fine snowflakes on its surface.

It’s incredibly tiny, yet exquisitely detailed.

The ring’s shape follows a unique and striking curvature, narrowing at the directly opposite ends, resembling two embracing crescent moons.

Pope surely is domineering, not only pushing items onto me during the mission but even bringing them out without needing any warehouse assessment.

As for the constant effect inside… As expected, the Deep Sleep of Time and Moon is no longer usable.

Fu Qian checked and came to the conclusion.

Mentioning the single opportunity, indeed it can only be used once.

That’s completely understandable, though, as the effect is unequivocally at the Authority Level; if a ring could indefinitely produce such an effect, that would be utterly unreasonable.

As for the other effect, Frostburn, it gives all Transcendent abilities the semblance of frigid cold…

Fu Qian pondered briefly, activated the ring with his thoughts, and lifted his hand to fire an Air Bullet towards the depths of the warehouse.

Whoosh!

Unlike before, where it was invisible and intangible, now it was a snow-white, crystalline Frost Scythe that whistled out from his fingertips.

Where it passed, there even seemed to be flecks of moonlight falling, dreamlike and fantastical.

It seems not just a simple visual effect, but rather a transformation of one’s Transcendent abilities following some particular rules.

Fu Qian moved his arm again, and a peculiarly curved snow-white crescent blade cut through the air, leaving behind ice crystals that then exploded sequentially.

Even the items were affected, Tyrant’s Fist turned into a Frost Scythe?

What about this one…

Fu Qian snapped his fingers, activating the Decree Residue.

Is this possible?

Almost instantly, the temperature plummeted drastically, and wherever the eyes could see, it was as if silver-white frost was rapidly proliferating.

Centered amidst it all, Fu Qian was shrouded in ethereal and dreamy frost, with his already present Discoloration State making him truly unlike any living being.

The Pope really does understand me; with this thing, I can perfectly recreate another identity.

It can be called an advanced version of the previous mask…

Brushing his fingertips across the ring’s surface, Fu Qian did not continue testing but instead reached for the Emissary’s Mask on the side and directly put it on his face.

Six bullets fired but only one sound; I have already complained about this before, and now it seems I can go to Chief Yuan to file a claim.

The scene changes, and Fu Qian reappears beside a window, with the sunset in his view.

Still, Chief Yuan’s property in the Night Holy City, no issues with time or place.

Fu Qian nodded in satisfaction.

Even Chief Yuan’s voice is present.

Indeed, at this moment, Yuan Shan’s voice suddenly came from outside the door, chatting and laughing with another, introducing the residence.
