Chapter 329: 12-Star, Excellent Transcendent Set!
According to the exchange conditions:
100 Tier-1 magic cores can be exchanged for a [9-Star Demon Slayer Set Random Box]. If you want to exchange for a [Selectable Box], you'll need to add an extra 100 Tier-1 magic cores, meaning it costs double the price.
Additionally, you can exchange 30 Tier-2 magic cores or 10 Tier-3 magic cores, equivalent in value to 100 Tier-1 magic cores, for one 9-Star Random Box.
For a 10-Star Demon Slayer Equipment Random Box, the exchange requires: 200 Tier-1 magic cores, or 60 Tier-2 magic cores, or 20 Tier-3 magic cores. Selectable boxes cost double.
For an 11-Star Random Box: 100 Tier-3 magic cores, or 30 Tier-4 magic cores, or 10 Tier-5 magic cores, or 1 Tier-6 magic core.
For a 12-Star Random Box: 100 Tier-4 magic cores, or 30 Tier-5 magic cores, or 10 Tier-6 magic cores, or 1 Tier-7 magic core.
Before Zhang Yue could calculate the value of the magic cores he had collected, the scattered adventurers nearby had already done the math for him.
"Zero God has so many magic cores, and they're all at least Tier-3! Plus, there are so many Tier-4, Tier-6, and even Tier-7 ones. He could easily exchange for a 12-Star Selectable Box!"
"God, if only all those magic cores were mine!"
"With Zero God's power, I bet he could farm this many magic cores in just two or three days. For us regular folks, it would take at least several months!"
"Keep dreaming. Look closely; these are all Tier-3 and above magic cores. Zero God is obviously farming magic cores in the Abyssal Hell. With this many high-tier magic cores, even if you had a year, you wouldn't be able to farm this much!"
Zhang Yue remained silent.
If they knew that all these magic cores were the result of just one night's work for Zhang Yue, they'd probably be shocked to the point of doubting reality.
Zhang Yue didn't actually need high-level Demon Slayer sets.
Both the Armageddon Black Dragon and Skeleton King he controlled already had 12-Star Abyss Sets.
As for the Phantom Predator, it even possessed the 13-Star Top-Tier Set dropped by the emperor-tier boss, King Pier. Zhang Yue wasn't impressed by a mere 12-Star Demon Slayer Set.
After all, it could be exchanged with just magic cores, unlike the rare transcendent sets Zhang Yue wore.
Zhang Yue's purpose for exchanging Demon Slayer equipment was simply to use it as upgrade material for his transcendent set.
Currently, the upgrade material range for the 11-Star Transcendent Set required 10-Star to 12-Star equipment.
Thus, Zhang Yue prioritized 10-Star Demon Slayer Equipment. At a cost of 20 Tier-3 magic cores per random box, he used over 2,600 Tier-3 magic cores to exchange for 130 10-Star Random Boxes.
He opened them all and used Infinite Energy to instantly refine them into gold-quality gear.
Then, he combined equipment of the same type to upgrade them.
Each 10-Star gold-quality piece provided 3% growth.
After throwing all 130 pieces into the process, he finally raised the growth of the necklace, ring, and shoes of the transcendent set to 100%.
As for the remaining four parts, the growth gap wasn't too large anymore.
Next, Zhang Yue used 290 Tier-4 magic cores to exchange for 9 11-Star Demon Slayer Random Boxes, following the 30 cores per box standard.
He also used his Tier-5 and Tier-6 magic cores to exchange for 11-Star equipment boxes.
After all, once the transcendent set was upgraded to 12-Star, these 11-Star pieces could still be used as upgrade materials.
He obtained the equipment, refined it to gold in one click, and consumed them into the transcendent set.
Finally, all seven parts of the transcendent set reached 100% growth.
[Ding~ Congratulations! Your 11-Star Fine·Transcendent Set has advanced to the 12-Star Excellent·Transcendent Set. Equipment attributes have been enhanced, and the third skill slot for the set has been unlocked. Set skills Void Shield and Thunder Might have been greatly strengthened]
At that moment, Zhang Yue felt a sense of transcendence.
He could clearly feel the massive improvement his equipment had gained.
As a unique transcendent set, its strength was far superior to ordinary equipment of the same star level.
After advancing from 11-Star to 12-Star, Zhang Yue's overall stats saw a significant boost:
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Attack Power: 55,000
Defense: 30,000
HP: 600,000
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Most importantly, the third skill slot was now unlocked.
After much thought, Zhang Yue decided against extracting the Abyssal Aura skill from the Abyss Set on the Armageddon Black Dragon.
After all, that set skill provided a stable 200% damage boost. It was undeniable that it worked better on the Armageddon Black Dragon than on Zhang Yue.
When it came to farming monsters, the Armageddon Black Dragon was always the MVP.
Moreover, Zhang Yue noticed that the Demon Slayer Set skill was also excellent and could serve as a skill slot filler.
[12-Star Enchantment: Enchant yourself, activating a demonization state. In this state, 1% of maximum HP is lost per second (shield value can offset this if present), while damage increases by 200%]
The effect was identical to Abyssal Aura.
Zhang Yue still had 8 Tier-7 magic cores left. While he could exchange these for 8 12-Star Demon Slayer Random Boxes, completing a full Demon Slayer set through random boxes was nearly impossible.
He could only opt for the Selectable Boxes, but their cost was double that of the Random Boxes.
This meant Zhang Yue needed 6 more Tier-7 magic cores to acquire a full 12-Star Demon Slayer Set and extract the set skill: Enchantment.
It was late, so this task could only be left for the next day.
Honestly, this transcendent set was lucky to have Zhang Yue.
Otherwise, an ordinary person would never be able to afford the upkeep of such equipment.
Night deepened, and Zhang Yue logged off.
Unbeknownst to him, just as he disappeared in a flash of white light at the Dawn Camp, a pair of eyes from a dark corner nearby was staring intently at the spot where he logged off...
———
After a night's rest, Zhang Yue woke up at 7 a.m.
After breakfast, he logged back in.
Today's goal remained to push through the World 14.
Judging by last night's pace, Zhang Yue estimated that he could clear the World 14 within a day.
Of course, if possible, he also intended to use the Demon Slayer Set from the World 14 to upgrade his transcendent set to 14-Star.
Logging into the Dawn Camp, Zhang Yue immediately headed toward the Abyssal Hell.
This dungeon had no entry limit, but the only requirement was consuming 1,000 Energy per second after entering.
Since it was a place rich in Tier-3 to Tier-7 magic cores, obtaining high-tier cores without some cost was impossible.
This, combined with its difficulty, was why most adventurers avoided the Abyssal Hell.
After all, 1,000 per second, 60,000 per minute, and 3.6 million per hour—it was an expense most couldn't sustain.
For Zhang Yue, though, such a cost was trivial.
Killing one Level 85 demon earned him 15 million Energy, enough for four hours of consumption.
In a single day, he could easily kill tens of thousands.
Infinite Energy was true freedom.
While heading toward the Abyssal Hell, Zhang Yue suddenly heard the sounds of battle up ahead.
Looking forward, he saw several solo adventurers fighting demons nearby and shouting, "A spatial rift has appeared in the southwest! The Eastern Nation invaders are back! Someone's been ambushed!"
"Hurry! Let's go help!"
As the saying goes, when trouble strikes one side, support comes from all directions.
Upon hearing of the Eastern Nation invaders, everyone nearby immediately dropped what they were doing and rushed southwest.
Zhang Yue frowned slightly. "They're still coming?"
Without hesitation, Zhang Yue followed the crowd.
Arriving at an abandoned city, he saw dozens of spatial rifts opening within...
