Open the treasure chest and get amazing rewards! (5400)

Chapter 580: Opening the Treasure Chests, Astonishing Harvest! (5400)

At this moment, Cao Xing looked extremely excited.

Previously, he had been worried about what to do if Isabelle's breakthrough failed.

But now, with the second Heart of Legend, it meant that this Holy Light Priest had two chances to break through to Legendary!

With Cao Xing's high luck value, he was over ninety percent confident that she could reach the Legendary realm.

Perhaps she might even succeed on the first try.

The ten Divine Power Shards that followed were an unexpected gain!

Now, the Divine Power Shards in his possession had reached thirty-two, which equated to 320 divine power value.

"Very good. According to this calculation, after accumulating another hundred divine power value, without even needing to absorb the divine power from the Relic, Malenia could also possess Legendary combat power."

"Then, once Braum levels up to 100, he can use the Heart of Legend and the Relic shield to attempt a breakthrough."

"That is to say, in a short time, I could even have three Legendary combatants!"

After arriving at this number, Cao Xing became even more excited.

He could hardly wait to have Isabelle attempt the Legendary breakthrough.

However—before that, he needed to go up and say a few words.

At this moment, the entire territory's over two thousand warriors were like over two thousand unsheathed blades, their sharpness fully revealed!

They had killed a Legendary this time—one could well imagine what that meant!

For these warriors, Legendary had always been an unattainable, despairingly powerful existence.

And yet tonight, such a powerful being had been slain by everyone working together!

At this moment, it seemed as if an invisible momentum rose from everyone.

This momentum would enable them to dare to swing their blades and fight to the death against any enemy!

Cao Xing came before the crowd, gazing forward, and said loudly: "In tonight's battle, everyone's performance was impeccable!"

"This is a victory belonging to our entire territory!"

"Not just the combatants—our support staff were also very brave. The Arctic People kept adjusting the direction of the ballistae, and other staff kept loading ammunition."

"I saw all of this."

Hearing these words, the support staff below instantly had reddened eyes, excitement and pride surging in their hearts like a tide.

They had originally thought that in such a high-end battlefield, their silent efforts would go unnoticed.

After all, compared to the warriors fighting bloody battles on the front lines, their work seemed so ordinary, and they had not dealt much damage to the Eye of Zhaitan.

As a result, their lord had not only seen all of it but had also given them such high praise.

For a moment, these staff members clenched their fists, their gazes toward Cao Xing filled with fervor!

Cao Xing continued: "Of course, our combatants also contributed greatly."

"It was your bloody battles that allowed us to defeat the enemy and protect the entire territory."

"Facts have proven that as long as we work together and coordinate with each other, even the strongest enemies will be slain by us!"

"Even Legendary, even Demigod, can be slain!"

Hearing this, all the warriors' eyes also turned red!

They roared at the top of their lungs: "Invincible in battle, slaughter all strong foes!"

"Invincible in battle, slaughter all strong foes!"

Their intense fighting spirit soared into the sky!

At this moment, even if another Legendary appeared, they would without hesitation charge forward and fight to the death!

A smile appeared on Cao Xing's face, and then he said: "Now, all combatants, return to the territory and rest."

"All support staff, work overtime to fill in the territory."

"Earth mages, go out as well and manipulate the earth elements to help fill in the territory."

Their battle just now had been too loud, especially on the south city gate side where Cao Xing was.

A single Doomsday Ice Star had devastated the ground for several kilometers ahead.

If only these staff members were to fill it in, it would take days and nights to restore.

But earth mages all had decent earth element manipulation abilities, so having them help would speed up the process more than tenfold.

"Yes! Mighty Lord!"

Everyone carried out the orders.

Thousands of combatants returned to the territory in a great swarm.

As for the support staff, they picked up various tools like iron spades and shovels and began clearing the battlefield.

After lingering on the city wall for a moment, Cao Xing looked at the female knight beside him and said: "Let's go, Muxue, we'll head back together."

"Okay!"

Liu Muxue, in her four-winged angel form, also emitted a white glow.

Then, the wings on their backs flapped, and they flew back together to the center of the territory, landing beside the energy tower. "Next, let's open all those treasure chests."

Although he really wanted to have Isabelle break through to Legendary immediately, there was no rush.

What if the treasure chests yielded something good?

So, he directly took out the large pile of treasure chests from his backpack and placed them side by side.

The first to be opened, naturally, were the bronze, silver, and gold treasure chests.

For most Survivors, any treasure chest was an extremely precious resource.

However, for Cao Xing, now, aside from the Bright Moon Treasure Chest, he didn't think much of the others.

So he clicked to open them all at once.

[Opening successful.]

[Obtained: Expert-level Boulder City Wall Blueprint (Gold)]

[Obtained: Spirit Wood Long Whip (Gold)]

[Obtained: Black Wood Longbow (Blue)]

[Obtained: Cold Star Grass Seeds (Blue)]

[Obtained: Ancient Stone House Construction Blueprint (Purple)]

[Obtained…]

All gold, silver, and bronze treasure chests were opened at once.

As Cao Xing had expected, there was nothing too special inside, but it wasn't bad either.

From the three gold treasure chests, a total of three gold equipment items were obtained, and other chests yielded things like magic seeds.

"The harvest is decent. Next, let's open those three Bright Moon Treasure Chests."

Cao Xing walked to the side.

[Discovered unlocked Bright Moon Treasure Chests *3. Open?]

"Yes."

[Opening successful.]

[Obtained: Hero's Heart *1]

[Obtained: Twilight Oriole Pendant (Orange)]

[Obtained: Medal of Resistance (Orange)]

[Obtained: master-level elemental crystal *65]

[Obtained: Large Resource Pack *14]

"Oh? Another Hero's Heart!"

"This is a good thing!"

For Cao Xing, the resources he lacked most now, aside from various Relics and Hearts of Legend, were Hero's Hearts.

With it, Braum could advance to Hero, and once he reached level 100, he could attempt to break through to Legendary.

With excitement, he put away all three items.

Then, Cao Xing glanced at the attributes of the other two orange equipment items.

The first was a strangely shaped pendant, with a peculiar bone carving hanging from a string of special material.

The necklace emitted a certain light and airy aura.

[Twilight Oriole Pendant (Orange)]

[Quality: Epic]

[Equipment Type: Necklace]

[Equipment Level: 70]

[Special Effect ①: Agility +500, Strength +200, Hit Rate +20%]

[Special Effect ②: Twilight Oriole's Feather (When receiving a magic attack, there is a 50% chance to offset 45% of the damage from this attack. Trigger interval: 10 seconds)]

[Special Effect ③: Twilight Oriole's Shadow (When launching an attack, there is a 50% chance to increase own agility by 20%,

lasting 15 seconds, cooldown: 60 seconds)]

[Medal of Resistance (Orange)]

[Quality: Epic]

[Equipment Type: Medal]

[Equipment Level: 70]

[Special Effect ①: Constitution +500, Strength +500, Movement Speed -20%]

[Special Effect ②: Resister's Glory (After battle begins, each time you are attacked, increase your maximum health by 1% and armor by 1%, stackable up to 20 times, lasting 200 seconds, trigger interval: 10 minutes)]

After reading, Cao Xing's eyes lit up.

"? These two pieces of equipment seem to have very good attributes!"

The necklace needed no further explanation—it had over five hundred agility, plus a 20% boost when the special effect triggered, making it quite suitable for Sarah.

As for the second medal, although it was not equipment but an accessory.

Its attached attributes were also quite powerful, and the latter special effect [Resister's Glory] could increase maximum health and armor by 20%.

Even if Cao Xing equipped it himself, it would provide a decent boost.

Of course, this thing was most beneficial for tank professions, such as Giant Jode, or Bifer Blackheart.

After pondering for a moment, Cao Xing decided to give this medal to Braum.

After all, this big guy already had high maximum health, and with the Shield of Origin's boost, it could double.

Previously, he could already withstand a Legendary creature's attack for four or five seconds.

With this medal, he could probably extend it by another second.

Having decided on the distribution of the spoils, Cao Xing said happily: "Next, we can open the ancient Bright Moon Treasure Chests!"

This was also the part he looked forward to most!

He quickly took them out of his backpack.

"Clang! Clang!"

Three treasure chests with a faint luster and quite ancient design appeared before him.

Just as Cao Xing was about to open them directly, he suddenly thought of something.

He looked at the four-winged angel beside him and said: "Muxue, you open these three ancient treasure chests."

[part:gemini-2.5-flash]

The kind of treasure chests redeemed in the积分商店 can only be opened by the redeemer.

However, these were treasure chests from the monster siege, and as a lord of the same territory, Liu Muxue also had the authority to open them.

Hearing this, Liu Muxue didn't decline, nodding gently, "Okay."

Then, she stepped forward and opened all three treasure chests.

"Creak!"

When the treasure chests opened, some strangely shaped and peculiar items appeared at the bottom of the boxes.

"They're open, Ah Xing," Liu Muxue's voice rang out.

"Okay."

Cao Xing nodded slightly, then collected everything inside.

[Obtained: Glare Reburner (Orange)]

[Obtained: Master-level Life Elixir Recipe (Improved Version)]

[Obtained: Type VI Cracking Chip (Orange)]

[Obtained: Large Arc Star Pack * 5]

[Obtained: Magazine * 8]

[Obtained·]

"Oh? There's even a Master-level Life Elixir Recipe. That's not bad!"

Then, he took these items out of his backpack to examine them.

The first item was a strange black spherical object.

It had a clasp at the bottom, just the right size to secure around a wrist.

He glanced at its attributes.

[Glare Reburner (Orange)]

[Quality: Epic]

[Equipment Slot: Gauntlet]

[Equipment Level: None]

[Unique Effect: Potent Charge (Can select a skill to enter a charging state, allowing that skill to be cast up to 3 consecutive times.)]

(Note: Retainers can only select Boss-level or lower skills. Survivors can only select Gold quality or lower skills.)

"Hmm? Cast skills three times consecutively?"

"Holy moly, this effect is a bit powerful!"

A hint of shock appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

Although it was noted that only skills below Boss-level could be selected, it was still quite powerful.

For example, if Cao Xing equipped it himself, he could continuously cast three Extreme Ice Blooms!

And if it were given to burst-type players like Sarah or Dragon Speaker, they could use Arc Flash or Dragon Pact Sword Dance three times consecutively!

It could be said to be extremely formidable!

After a moment of thought, Cao Xing decided to give this equipment to Malenia.

Several of this Valkyrie's skills were extremely powerful.

Especially her Boss-level skill—Lotus Sword Dance!

This was a divine burst skill.

If she equipped the Glare Reburner and unleashed three consecutive bursts, it would deal at least over twenty million damage.

Almost anything below Legendary-level would be instantly killed by her!

He put it into his backpack with satisfaction.

Then, Cao Xing took out an ancient recipe.

He had obtained this kind of recipe before, which could be used to create improved versions of life elixirs.

Moreover, the effects of improved life elixirs were often much better than ordinary elixirs, making them very popular among Survivors.

"Before, I only ever found Advanced Life Elixir Recipes at most. I didn't expect to get a Master-level one this time."

"A recipe of this grade must have excellent recovery effects."

With anticipation, he looked at the attributes.

[Master-level Life Elixir Recipe (Improved Version)]

[Blueprint Description: This blueprint can be used to craft Master-level Life Elixirs]

[Potion Effect: Instantly restores 100,000 HP upon consumption, and restores an additional 210,000 HP over the next 60 seconds. Cooldown: 120 seconds]

[Materials required for crafting: Advanced Alchemy Workshop, Glass Bottle * 1, Dragon Blood Grass * 10, Tree of Life Leaf * 1,

Extreme Cold Water * 500ml]

(Note: A recipe improved by a certain alchemy master over a long period of time, now extinct on this continent.)

Seeing the description above, Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.

"The effect of this recipe is indeed powerful!"

"Instant recovery and continuous recovery combined can restore 310,000 HP."

"Especially the latter effect, restoring 210,000 HP in 60 seconds, which translates to 3500 HP recovered per second."

"Combined with Eternal Power and Pale Tree's 100% healing bonus, that's 7000 HP recovery per second?"

Upon calculating this number, Cao Xing became even happier.

Because with his Ice Healing Art + Andrew's Life Bloom, and this elixir recipe,

the recovery value per second had already exceeded 50,000.

That's three million HP recovered in a minute, which is quite terrifying!

Of course, to craft this Master-level elixir, the required materials seemed to be of great origin.

"Tree of Life Leaf? Does that mean a leaf plucked from the tree of life?"

Although Cao Xing had never encountered the tree of life.

He knew without thinking that anything with such a name must be an extraordinary sacred tree!

He wouldn't even be surprised if it was on the same level as the Pale Tree.

It was easy to imagine how difficult it would be to obtain such materials.

"I don't have any clues about the tree of life yet. I'll have to ask those Ancient Trees later."

Thinking of this, he carefully put the recipe into his backpack.

Next was the third item.

This was a strange chip, about the size of a palm, with mysterious symbols flowing on it, like a string of numbers constantly moving.

At the bottom of the chip, there was also a strange button.

"What does this thing do?"

He glanced at its attributes.

[Type VI Cracking Chip (Orange)]

[Quality: Epic]

[Unique Effect: Can crack any seal on equipment, items, or gates. If used on equipment, it can reset it to the state it was in when it was first crafted.

If used on a gate, it can crack any seal below Demigod-level.]

[Remaining Uses: 1]

(Note: Affected by the rules of this world, this chip can only crack equipment of level 70 or below.)

Cao Xing, who had not held much hope for this chip, now had his eyes wide open!

Even his breathing became somewhat rapid!

"Holy crap! Resetting the state of equipment, does that mean even Legendary equipment can be reset?"

"Is it that outrageous?"

Apparently, it was true!

And it also stated that it could only reset equipment up to level 70, which was exactly within the range of Legendary equipment!

In other words, the two sacred texts he had in his backpack, the Dawn Codex or the Demon Codex, could now be used!

Cao Xing's gaze towards Liu Muxue was filled with intense surprise!

After all, she was the one who opened this chip.

"Muxue, your luck is really good!" he praised sincerely.

Liu Muxue also had a gentle smile on her face.

After the initial surprise, Cao Xing felt a bit conflicted.

After all, both of these codices had excellent attributes.

The former, the Legendary effect of the Dawn Codex, could permanently increase allied units' attributes by 30% by consuming divine power value.

And the latter, the Demon Codex, could even summon a Legendary-level demon to assist in battle!

But there was only one chip, meaning only one Legendary equipment could be reset.

How to choose was truly a vexing matter. After a moment of deliberation, Cao Xing finally decided to reset the Demon Codex first and bind it to himself!

There were several reasons.

Firstly, Isabelle already had the Radiant Chapter. Although everyone could bind multiple Legendary items, ultimately only the one currently in use would provide attributes.

Moreover, while the Legendary effect on the Dawn Chapter was powerful, it required consuming divine power value.

Cao Xing's current divine power value was simply not enough, and he had no spare capacity to replenish the Dawn Codex.

As for the Demon Codex, it was a tangible improvement for Cao Xing.

Besides the 2000 points of four-dimensional attribute bonus, it also recorded many demon-type skills, and even Hero-level skills!

Most crucially, it had a Legendary special effect—Demon Gate.

It could 100% summon a Legendary-level demon!

It could be said that as long as he bound the Demon Codex now, not only would his combat power greatly increase, but he would also temporarily possess Legendary combat strength!

After making his decision, Cao Xing immediately began to act.

He first placed the Cracking Chip in his hand, then took out another magic-infused codex from his backpack.

"Whoosh!"

The moment the codex appeared, it began to flip through its pages continuously, emitting bursts of dark aura.

As if sensing its fate, it began to vibrate constantly, even trying to escape from Cao Xing's hand.

However, Liu Muxue's angelic power instantly erupted, enveloping the Demon Codex.

As if encountering its natural enemy, the codex immediately quieted down.

Seeing this scene, Cao Xing chuckled.

Angels were indeed the bane of demons.

Then, he directly activated a small button on the chip.

A system prompt appeared.

[Do you want to use the Type VI Cracking Chip to reset [Demon Codex (Legendary)]?]

"Yes."

Instantly, the chip in Cao Xing's hand glowed brightly!

Then it transformed into a shooting star and plunged violently into the Demon Codex!
