Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 813: Chapter 627: 3rd Transition

This encounter with Hecate was the first time Su Yuan truly experienced the power of the Moon Knight.

Originally, he wanted to save the cooldown of Time Reversal and Oath of Returning Ruins, but he didn’t expect the opponent had already mastered one of the ultimate skills...

”If it’s only five days, I should still have time to recover...” Su Yuan calculated silently.

If he used up all 10 slots of Ruins Time, it would definitely delay his actions, but using just 5 slots was still acceptable.

Su Yuan quickly reviewed the recent battle, then calmed his mind and checked Hecate’s ring.

The ring’s internal space was vast and crammed with various star cores, materials, and countless star stones.

Suddenly, Su Yuan’s pupils contracted as he took out a blue-glowing water ball and held it in his hand.

”Is this... the Heart of the Ocean?!”

Su Yuan looked down at the water ball in his hand, with waves flowing like a heart beating, and it turned out to be a fifth-level material, the Heart of the Ocean!

”Did she find this in this ancient world fragment?”

Su Yuan glanced over the ring again. Besides the Heart of the Ocean, there were many fourth-level water materials. It seemed Hecate intended to use the Heart of the Ocean as the core to craft a top-tier epic star artifact.

”What a surprising harvest!” Su Yuan smiled, joyfully securing the Heart of the Ocean, ”Just right, I can use it to create a star artifact for Ruan Ruan.”

The Demon Soul Avatar had Flame Luo Ling, Mo Fei had the Black Moon Divine Branch, and Antonios had the Artifact Type Soul Power.

Apart from Ashley, who used it for supporting, almost everyone else had a handy star artifact, but Ruan Ruan didn’t.

Different types of star artifacts have varying requirements for attack, defense, and versatility. As long as they reach a certain strength, they can be classified as epic star artifacts.

But the trait of a star artifact is the key that determines the grade of an epic star artifact.

Artifacts like the Dark Cross Sword, Flame Luo Ling, and Black Moon Divine Branch are considered fairly common epic star artifacts.

And Su Yuan’s Heavenly Lock, which combines attack and control, becomes stronger when encountering stronger opponents, especially with the Name of Legend, even capable of locking the Legendary Star Beast Great Sage Equalling Heaven, making it even more precious.

Another example is the epic second rank of the Demon Saber, capable of splitting into a Body Outside Avatar with identical Six Dimensions and Realm, which can also carry skills, making it one of the topmost epic star artifacts!

The range of epic star artifacts varies greatly, but if fifth-level materials are used for crafting, it’s easier to craft high-grade star artifacts with powerful traits!

After checking again, Su Yuan put the Heart of the Ocean away.

Next came the most crucial part...

Su Yuan took out Li Huasheng’s ring and retrieved the star core of the Great Sage Equalling Heaven!

With the system’s analysis, all the information about this star core became clearer.

[Star Core (Great Sage Equalling Heaven)]

[Grade: Legendary]

[Skills: Alchemy Furnace Sacred Body (Legendary), Eyes of Golden Flame (Epic), Three Heads and Six Arms (Epic), Fatian Xiangdi (Epic), Shrinking Ground (Epic), Five-finger Mountain in the Palm (Epic), Ruyi Jingu Bang (Epic)]

”Is the Alchemy Furnace Sacred Body a legendary skill? And there’s no Monkey Clan Round Formation?”

Su Yuan’s eyes showed a thoughtful expression, somewhat puzzled.

Although the monkey’s attributes were enhanced after unfolding the Alchemy Furnace Sacred Body, the increase wasn’t as strong as expected for a legendary skill.

Su Yuan’s thoughts sank into Alchemy Furnace Sacred Body, examining through the system:

”Alchemy Furnace Sacred Body, breaking before building, a sacred body refined in the furnace.

Each time in a near-death state, triggers ’Holy Furnace Splitting God Array’, successfully resurrecting from ’Holy Furnace Splitting God Array’ allows enhancement of Alchemy Furnace Sacred Body up to three times, achieving third transition sacred body.

Each transition forms a birthmark on the forehead post-resurrection.

The first, second, and third transition of Alchemy Furnace Sacred Body not only greatly enhances all aspects but also strengthens various skills of the Great Sage Equalling Heaven...”

”Alchemy Furnace Sacred Body, so that’s how it is, really special indeed...”

Su Yuan recalled that the forehead of the Great Sage Equalling Heaven seemed to lack the alchemy furnace birthmark, indicating it was an ”unrefined young Great Sage” without Holy Furnace enhancement, no wonder the strength of its Alchemy Furnace Sacred Body was limited.

Su Yuan continued checking, understanding that the legendary skill Alchemy Furnace Sacred Body advanced from Holy Furnace Splitting God Array, which was the protective Monkey Clan Round Formation.

Originally, the Holy Furnace Splitting God Array upgraded and became a passive skill activated only in near-death states.

Moreover, completing sacred body enhancement in near-death states consumed all the power of the alchemy furnace, unable to trigger continuously like the former Burning Sun level Intelligent Stone Monkey before reaching three transitions...

After a detailed check, Su Yuan gained a general understanding of Alchemy Furnace Sacred Body.

”This skill is powerful but difficult to enhance and not highly versatile for ordinary people.”

Other skills can constantly gain proficiency with practice.

This skill requires a near-death experience for improvement.

Even though the system can bypass restrictions to directly enhance Alchemy Furnace Sacred Body to the third transition, it is not entirely suitable for Su Yuan.

Because Alchemy Furnace Sacred Body is powerful not only on its own but also in enhancing other skills, otherwise the skill’s benefits would be significantly reduced...

”However, it would be perfect for Ruan Ruan...”

If Ruan Ruan could completely mimic the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, besides powerful combat ability, it would also provide an additional lifesaving measure.

Expectantly, Su Yuan stored away the star core of the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, then looked at his system panel.

The [Void Sword Qi] column faintly glimmered with a touch of light.

During the last fight with Infinite Profound Phoenix, Su Yuan felt considerable progress in Void Sword Qi, and after slaying Abyss Blue Moon, there seemed to be further improvement...

At that moment, Su Yuan suddenly felt a tremor coming from the Qingming Realm.

With a slight check, he knew what was happening outside.

In these mountains, many demon monkeys under the Great Sage Equalling Heaven had arrived.

Under the Yin Yang discerning eyes of the Red Bottomed Horse Monkey, the demon monkeys finally found the Qingming Realm mark and were attacking it continuously.

Su Yuan’s expression was indifferent: ”Since the Oath of Returning Ruins hasn’t been lifted yet, I might as well deal with them all at once!”

With a thought, the Qingming Realm mark outside suddenly burst with dark light, pulling in the demon monkeys before they could react.

”Chirp chirp chirp??”

While the demon monkeys were still bewildered, Su Yuan had already risen into the air, once again manipulating the Fake Celestial Star Battle Array.

”Annihilate everything, Group Stars!”

As the heavens briefly twinkled with stars, countless star lights fell downwards...

After a while, as Su Yuan emerged from the Qingming Realm, apart from being a bit pale from lifting the Oath of Returning Ruins, there weren’t any major injuries.

”Using only five slots of Ruins Time, the side effects are much smaller.”

Su Yuan nodded slightly, then with a glint of silver light in his eyes, he looked into the distance and quickly flew off again.

Before long, following the Earth Qi currents, Su Yuan arrived at a mountain.

This was a tall mountain with a large waterfall, etched with many barbaric runes to guide the Earth Qi to gather here.

”Binding Earth Qi here with primitive methods? These rune placements bear some similarity to formations.”

With Su Yuan’s current mastery as an Array Dao Master, he quickly understood the function of these barbaric runes.

Using these barbaric runes as a guide, combined with the Earth Qi network of the Spiritual Land, to distribute and gather the Earth Qi from the Tiger Vein in this ancient fragment, making star power more concentrated and conducive to cultivation.

Moreover, this method concealed the actual location of the Tiger Vein.

Simply put, it’s like inserting multiple wolf-level Pulse Stabilizing Pillars within the Tiger-level Spiritual Land for decentralized distribution.

However, these barbaric runes’ setup is simple and primitive, significantly inferior to the Pulse Stabilizing Pillars used in the East Continent today.

At this moment, Su Yuan ascended into the sky, fully activating the All-Knowing Vision, quickly seeing the key nodes of these barbaric runes through the flow of Earth Qi.

Drawing out the Demon Saber, Su Yuan unleashed Void Sword Qi to break several key positions, with a ”buzz,” the powerful mountain defense under the runes and Earth Qi’s augmentation was instantly shattered.

Afterward, Su Yuan executed Sword Above Nine Heavens, shattering the entire mountain!

In an instant, the Earth Qi surged mightily below, freed from the mountain’s constraints, returning to its normal pathway.

”There are several more, and none are close... but to locate the actual Tiger Vein among the many star veins, I must first restore the Earth Qi’s normal flow in these areas.”

With a bit of orientation, Su Yuan located the nearest point and flew off again...
