Chapter 16 The Underworld Race and the Mechanical Race, the Mysterious Necklace!
Even though Ye Xuan used all his wind elemental power, he still couldn't blow away the blue dust. When the first grain touched him, transparent flames rose from Ye Xuan's body.
"I never expected to fail here." Ye Xuan smiled bitterly. His foundation was still too weak and simply not enough to withstand the unknown risks.
The karmic fire has been ignited; the calculation of cause and effect damage has begun.
The system notification sounded in his ear. This power was far beyond Ye Xuan's current level. Just when he thought he was doomed, the situation suddenly took a turn for the better.
[Players are not affected by cause and effect; damage calculation is 0]
As the system notification ended, the transparent flames on Ye Xuan's body gradually disappeared. Even though the Nether Butterfly hadn't dissipated, it no longer posed a threat to him.
"The Weeping Man's Mask!"
With the help of the immortal merchant, his mask unlocked a new attribute. He originally thought it only allowed him to kill without incurring karma, but now it seems that he can escape karma in any situation.
Ye Xuan suddenly realized how valuable the Clown of Fate's gift was, and was shocked by its power, which could even influence something as mysterious and unpredictable as cause and effect.
The valley wasn't very large. After escaping danger, Ye Xuan headed in the only direction and soon arrived at the deepest part of the valley.
The entire valley was empty except for an ordinary necklace floating in the air, which puzzled Ye Xuan.
"White quality?"
Although he had never seen a real treasure of the rules in his previous life, it was not hard to guess the power of such a treasure from the rumors. It couldn't possibly be of white quality, could it?
After thoroughly searching the entire valley, Ye Xuan confirmed that there were no other treasures there and also ruled out any dangers.
"That's true. With something like the Nether Butterfly blocking the way, only members of the Nether Clan can reach the depths."
Unfortunately, this supreme being of the Underworld did not expect the existence of someone like Ye Xuan, who was untouched by karma.
Judging from the appearance of this necklace, it was a treasure generated after the fall of the Rule Controller. Ye Xuan carefully took it off.
Just as he was about to check the necklace's attributes, a system notification suddenly sounded.
[Soul binding not performed, attributes cannot be viewed]
This prompt left Ye Xuan slightly bewildered: "White-quality items can be soul-bound?"
It's important to know that unless it's a truly priceless treasure, players generally won't easily bind their souls.
Players can replace regular equipment at any time, but once they choose to bind their souls, trying to remove the binding will cause significant damage to their souls.
Moreover, this damage is at the very core of the soul, and cannot be repaired by leveling up.
"Before level 50, you can only soul-bind one piece of equipment. If this white-quality necklace isn't a rule-based treasure, then I'll be at a huge loss."
In his previous life, Ye Xuan had never truly come into contact with these treasures, and he only had a superficial understanding of some of their secrets.
This necklace looks very ordinary, with an overall silver-white color and a small square pendant at the bottom, on which is drawn a roaring ghost.
Ye Xuan examined it carefully, turning it over and over, but still couldn't see any clues. Even the ghost was one of the weakest monsters in the underworld.
"If I bind it, I won't be able to use the Soul Nourishing Bead that was originally planned to increase my magic power. This is really a headache!"
Even the usually decisive Ye Xuan was caught in a dilemma. In terms of rarity, the rule-based treasure was definitely far superior to the Soul Nourishing Pearl, but the white quality still made him quite hesitant.
"I'll take the gamble. I refuse to believe that the Supreme Being of the Underworld would leave his people a piece of trash!"
Gritting his teeth, Ye Xuan chose to perform a soul binding, and the silver necklace automatically appeared around his neck.
The Soul Chains of Heracles: Revenge
[Quality]: Ordinary (White)
[Description]: +300 spell power, +100 magic resistance, +100% damage against Nether and Mech races.
【Soul of Life】: Absorbs the soul power scattered when living beings die. 1 point of soul power increases 1 point of magic power. After accumulating 10000 soul power, the equipment quality is improved, and the player's current soul power is permanently increased by 10% of magic power.
【Mechanical Heart】: The most powerful database generated by the fusion of soul rules and Heracles' chip. It can automatically identify information and provide prompts. Unrecorded data will be analyzed based on existing information to determine the most reliable function.
Upon seeing the necklace's attribute description, Ye Xuan gaped in astonishment, "Is this the power of a rule-based treasure?"
Although it's only of white quality, the two skills it possesses are simply overpowered!
The Soul of Life allows this equipment to increase spell power by up to 10000 points within the white quality range, and the upgraded effect will definitely be even more overpowered.
As for the Mechanical Heart, if it truly has the effect described, then it will undoubtedly be of greater help to Ye Xuan.
Even though Ye Xuan remembered countless strategies and secrets from his previous life, the information he possessed was simply not on the same level as that of the top ten mechanical races in the universe.
However, thinking about this, Ye Xuan felt quite puzzled.
"Hercules should be a member of the Machine Race, but why does this Soul Chain reveal such hatred towards the Underworld Race and the Machine Race?"
This valley is clearly the place where the Supreme Being of the Underworld fell, but this treasure of rules has the shadow of the Mechanical Race.
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. These two are both top ten behemoths in the universe, I'll avoid them for now."
Ye Xuan returned to the pool and was about to leave the way he came when he saw the transparent fish in the water that he had not recognized before. He then tried using the Mechanical Heart.
【Horizontal Spirit Fish】: A spirit fish that grows in special waters. Its body is transparent and thin. Eating it can temper the body and enhance one's essence. It becomes highly poisonous and cannot be eaten after being out of the water for 30 breaths.
[Currently, the master can withstand a maximum power amplification of 7 times. After consuming 30 Horizontal Spirit Fish, the amplification will be increased to 15 times. This space will disappear in 12 hours, so please leave before then.]
Looking at the information provided by the Mechanical Heart, Ye Xuan could only exclaim once again that he had struck gold. This thing was extremely precious to anyone, especially to him. He would never miss out on those powerful mutated talents again.
Having calculated the time to leave, Ye Xuan quickly grabbed a fish, processed it briefly, and popped the sashimi into his mouth.
It didn't have much of a smell, but a surge of energy spread throughout his body. Just as he was about to grab the second one, the Mechanical Heart's prompt appeared again.
The effects of Body Tempering cannot be stacked; a second effect can only be absorbed after the current effect has been depleted. Movement or using skills can accelerate the depletion process.
So Ye Xuan began to roam around the valley, constantly trying to push the limits of his Great Strength talent. Once he could freely use the 10x amplification, he could level up rapidly even in his stronghold.
"Not only my endurance, but all my attributes also automatically increased under the body tempering effect." Ye Xuan clearly felt that his movement speed had increased by at least 50 points.
Just as Ye Xuan was frantically consuming the Hengling Fish, two figures appeared in front of the NPC he had originally come to the Shadow Forest to find.
"Brother, look! It just threw me an A-grade skill crystal!" Zhou Xiaolin excitedly jumped around in front of Zhou Qi.
"Alright, hurry up and learn how to treat it. This is a deal; if we don't complete it, there's no guarantee what unexpected things might happen."
Zhou Xiaolin wrinkled her nose, unconcerned.
"I have an A-level wood-type talent, saving it will be a piece of cake, right?"
