Apocalypse Gachapon-Chapter 1416: Chaotic Battle (5)

Moreover, even if Ye Zhongming hadn’t thought about it himself, other members of Cloud Peak, like Xia Lei, wouldn’t have forgotten.

After evolving to eight stars, Chameleon and Lu Yi jointly delivered several scrolls to Ye Zhongming. These included skill upgrade scrolls, job advancement scrolls, universal equipment upgrade scrolls, and other precious items.

This was Xia Lei's last order before handing over control of Chameleon. As for Lu Yi, he had also naturally been instructed by Xia Lei.

Using Cloud Peak’s vast resources and the unique capabilities of Chameleon, Xia Lei employed both overt and covert, clean and dirty methods to obtain these items as a gift for Ye Zhongming’s evolution to eight stars.

Now, Ye Zhongming had upgraded the Thousand Blade Saint profession to the advanced grade and the Thousand Seal Slash to its corresponding intermediate grade. Including the additional blade shadows gained from proficiency, a full-power strike from him could now produce hundreds of blade shadows.

Each shadow possessed 60% of the original’s power.

Moreover, with the job’s upgrade, Ye Zhongming had unlocked one of the three upper seals that had previously been inaccessible—the Light Seal. Now, when using the Thousand Seal Slash, Ye Zhongming could imprint four seals: Mountain Seal, Fire Seal, and Metal Seal (the three lower seals), as well as the Light Seal (one of the three upper seals).

The Mountain Seal governed weight and pressure and was capable of suppressing anything. The Fire Seal governed flames, capable of burning all things. The Metal Seal governed sharpness, capable of cutting through all evil.

This time, the Light Seal governed illumination, capable of dispelling illusions and absorbing energy.

With these four seals and the hundreds of blade shadows, the attack descended like lightning. Kim Jongyuan let out a cry and began frantically throwing items out of his space equipment.

This was the right decision. The skill had already enveloped a large area centered on him, and he couldn’t dodge. All he could do was use every means possible to block the attack.

A stone statue enlarged, transforming into a stone Buddha. It formed a hand seal and shot out a beam of light.

But as the blade light passed, the Buddha statue shattered, and the blade light obliterated everything in its path.

Next was a green shield with rotating patterns that continuously emitted light. It met the blade light but was as fragile as paper.

Then came a black flag, which stood upright on the ground after being thrown, creating a large protective space. Yet, when it encountered the blade light, it was instantly breached.

Kim Jongyuan howled almost unconsciously. The bottle of potion he had earlier used to coat his hands had already been crushed, and the liquid soaked his arms. He raised his arms to shield his body without caring about even distribution, hoping to block the blade light. Ŗ₳ɴȰ𝔟Ёs̩

Ye Zhongming landed, sheathed his blade, and the light disappeared.

All that remained of Kim Jongyuan was a pile of minced meat.

This eight-star evolved hadn’t lasted a single move against Ye Zhongming’s semi-full-power attack!

Wen Yan felt incredibly unlucky.

He had an extremely strong need for control and wanted everything to go according to his plans. His word was law within Pin Palace and its sphere of influence, and he held the power of life and death.

But today, what had started as a well-planned operation had gone smoothly at first. He had successfully deceived Li Daqian into handing over the equipment controlling his battle beasts, stripping today’s most threatening individual of his sharp claws.

However, things spiraled out of his control, especially now. The space kept shifting unpredictably, and the leader of Restoring Hua Mountain had suddenly replaced the target he could have easily killed.

This man, quietly and without fanfare, had also reached eight stars. What was even more terrifying was that he was a freak.

Wen Yan rarely used such a term to describe someone, even his enemies.

But after fighting this man, he couldn’t help but come to this conclusion.

The situation was complex, and the battle was dangerous, but Wen Yan felt deeply frustrated.

This frustration stemmed from two things.

The first was Qin Ru’s freakishness.

Who had ever heard of someone giving all their benefits, aside from their evolution level, to their battle beast?

Only a fool or a madman would do such a thing.

Yet Qin Ru was exactly that kind of person. He had turned his battle beast, Little Luo Zhen, into a war machine.

It was a humanoid battle beast, said to be a tribute to his son, Qin Luo Zhen, who had died at the beginning of the apocalypse.

But Wen Yan felt it wasn’t just a tribute—Qin Ru treated this battle beast as his own son.

Ye Zhongming and Li Daqian were among the most famous figures in the apocalypse for their large numbers of high-level battle beasts. However, according to Wen Yan’s knowledge, neither Ye Zhongming’s Yellow Ball nor Li Daqian’s Spotted Giant Bear had a full set of beast equipment.

But Little Luo Zhen did.

And it was an eight-piece set! Green grade!

Forget the cost—how much time and effort must it have taken to gather such a set?!

Yet Qin Ru had managed to collect it.

As for evolution level, since Qin Ru himself was eight stars, it was no surprise that Little Luo Zhen, whom he valued more than his own life, was also eight stars.

Aside from equipment, what Wen Yan found truly freakish about Qin Ru was that the man had no decent equipment besides his evolution level. As the leader of a prominent faction in the country, his highest-tier equipment was only green grade, a level of frugality that left Wen Yan speechless.

What was even more unbearable was that as soon as the battle began, Qin Ru activated what might have been his only skill aside from his evolution level—Advanced Petrification.
