Chapter 156 The Set of Treasures Acquired, Floor 18?
In the end, the Wind Nightmare King did not perish.
Gu Ce's Star Sea couldn't control him; he could escape Gu Ce's Star Sea's range. If he were to self-destruct, no one would be spared.
The Nightmare King paid the price of a top-tier soul-type treasure in exchange for a chance to survive.
"Star Sea King, we owe you a great debt this time," Thunder King said to Gu Ce. "You can take that set of treasures. I happen to be lacking a soul-type treasure, and the two are not much different in value. Besides, I already have a top-tier armor-type treasure, so I don't really need this one."
"Thank you." Gu Ce knew that Lei Dongwang was trying to curry favor with him.
The value of a top-tier treasure set is no less than that of an ordinary supreme treasure.
Top-tier soul-type treasures, while quite valuable, are far less valuable than true soul-type supreme treasures, and even less valuable than set treasures.
"Go." King Lei Dong didn't say anything more, but looked at King Gu Xin and King Li Yin in the distance.
It's impossible for the two of them to join forces, but we should still be cautious.
Gu Ce nodded and instantly arrived at the center of this space.
It was a set of seven ordinary treasures, which, when combined, were comparable to ordinary supreme treasures of the armor class. It was also the most valuable treasure that could be found in the Lotus Ancient City.
The appearance of this set of treasures is as if it were woven from vines and branches, with white lotus-like flowers growing on it, which contrasts sharply with the brown branches.
This suit of armor had no name, so Gu Ce simply named it Lotus Armor.
As a top-tier set of treasures, it can weaken material attacks from beings below the level of a cosmic overlord to one ten-thousandth of their original value, and also has a certain soul defense function, which can weaken soul attacks to about one percent of their original value.
If it encounters a cosmic overlord, its defensive capabilities will shrink to one percent of their original strength. If it encounters a cosmic master, the lotus armor may be shattered.
Gu Ce's Star Flow Sea clone didn't have any armor-type treasures or supreme artifacts, so it was perfect for him to wear.
However, if this treasure is to rival the massive body of the Starflow Sea, its defensive capabilities will be somewhat diminished.
"King Lei Dong, I'll be taking my leave now," Gu Ce said to King Lei Dong with a smile.
According to past practice, those who pass the trials of level 7-9 will be directly teleported to the outside world, while others can remain in the Lotus Ancient City. They can either wait until the end of an era to be automatically teleported away, or pass the trial of level 9 to leave.
Besides the most valuable treasures, the inheritances and other valuable items here are also quite good.
For example, the "Soul Annihilation" technique that Gu Ce obtained was an extremely disgusting yet incredibly powerful secret technique.
As long as your soul strength is higher than the other party's, you can influence the other party's burning divine power!
However, this secret technique has a significant flaw: it will be ineffective against opponents with equal or greater consciousness and soul strength, and may even cause the user to be unable to stop burning their divine power, resulting in their own death.
"Go ahead," King Lei Dong nodded and said.
Gu Ce donned the lotus armor and took a step directly out of this space.
A flash of white light appeared before his eyes, and then Gu Ce's figure disappeared from the spot.
……
In the City of Chaos.
Gu Ce, who was cultivating, looked up in astonishment and gazed into the distance.
That's the direction of the battlefield outside the region!
"The clone has perished?" Gu Ce frowned.
That shouldn't be the case.
Didn't you just obtain a great treasure and prepare to leave the ancient city of Lianhua?
But Gu Ce discovered that he could no longer contact his clone.
Suddenly, Gu Ce came up with an idea.
Attempt to regenerate a clone!
The inner world surged, but failed to create a clone; this was a limitation imposed by the rules of the universe.
It seems the clone is alright.
That means the connection with the clone must have been temporarily severed by something.
Thinking of the place where Xingliuhai's clone last appeared, Gu Ce nodded slightly, understanding.
Lianhua Ancient City!
There must be other strange things about that place, just like the Star Tower.
……
Within the ancient city of Lianhua.
Gu Ce found himself transported to a pure white space, not the Lotus Continent he had imagined.
"You little fellow, you are clearly just a minor realm lord, yet you possess a will and consciousness comparable to a universe venerable. That's quite peculiar, and you are qualified to inherit the last legacy of my Lotus Clan."
A light, ethereal voice came from nowhere, reaching the depths of Gu Ce's soul.
Gu Ce wasn't surprised that his identity as a Realm Lord was exposed; any Universe Venerable could tell that his aura was merely that of a Realm Lord.
"Senior? Where is this?" Gu Ce looked around and asked warily.
"In your words, this should be the 18th floor of the Lotus Flower Ancient City," the voice continued.
"The 18th floor?"
"Are you willing to accept the inheritance of my Lotus Clan? If not, I will send you away and erase your memories. Let me warn you first, the mortality rate of accepting the inheritance is almost 99%. Once you fail, your soul will be erased as well, and even if you are an avatar, it will be useless." The voice did not answer Gu Ce's question, but asked in return.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Ce said, "May I ask what the contents of the inheritance are?"
"Oh? You're not afraid of death." The voice became interested. "The most basic part of the inheritance is this Lotus Ancient City. In outside terms, it's a palace-type supreme treasure. In addition, there is the complete inheritance of the twelve Universe Lords and one of the strongest beings in the universe of my Lotus Clan, including a large number of precious and supreme treasures left behind before the Lotus Clan's destruction. If you accept the inheritance completely, you will become the new Lotus Lord and have the right to decide how to use these things."
"Back then, my Lotus Clan was a top-tier power that intimidated everyone. Unfortunately, after the fall of the Lotus God, my Lotus Clan plummeted and ended up in ruins. Our bloodline was cut off, and there were no more rumors about us outside the world," the voice lamented.
"How are you...?"
"I am willing to accept the inheritance!" Gu Ce said with a firm gaze.
"Good! You have guts!" the voice praised.
Swish!
The surrounding space shifted and changed again.
Countless vines spread out, and a pink and white lotus flower appeared in the center of the vines. The lotus flower bloomed, and a diamond-shaped crystal flew out from it and flew to Gu Ce's front.
At the center of this crystal are countless translucent, colorful threads, as if woven from primordial laws.
inherited!
This inheritance is mostly less dangerous than inheriting the Star Tower.
But just as easily, failure means utter annihilation.
Gu Ce wasn't sure if his six eyes would still have that magical transformation if he were resurrected, so the best course of action was to fully accept the inheritance and avoid death!
"This is the Lord Recognition Ceremony of the Lotus Ancient City. Successfully recognizing a Lord means successfully accepting the inheritance. This is a double test of mind and body. I wish you success. I have stayed here for countless epochs, and I also want to leave here and see the prosperous world outside."
The rhombus-shaped crystal merged into Gu Ce's body!
The legacy begins!
