Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem - Chapter 1389 - 473: Origin Shield and SS-level Quest!
Chapter 1389: Chapter 473: Origin Shield and SS-level Quest!
And at this moment, Cao Xing had no knowledge of these things.
The scene before his eyes had already changed.
It was exactly the same as the last time he was at Crystal Land, seeing the Destiny Giant Dragon Oroen.
Surrounding him was a vast white space; nothing existed here, and nothing could be seen.
Only a tall man clad in war armor, seated on a giant stone throne.
Cao Xing looked at him.
The man also turned his gaze toward Cao Xing, a hint of interest appearing at the corner of his mouth.
He spoke with an ancient voice.
“Interesting… Is it the trait of Karakato?”
“As the only Ancient Giant Dragon that could retain sanity, it indeed has perished.”
“The more you know, the quicker you die…”
Cao Xing frowned, “Why, even powerful beings like yourselves would die?”
The man chuckled and shook his head, “This is just a fragment of my will left behind, unable to convey too much to you.”
“When you are strong enough, you will know everything.”
“Now, let’s get to the main topic.”
“Do you wish to accept my inheritance, and undergo the True God Trial?”
Upon hearing this, Cao Xing contemplated.
This is… another triggered task?
“What is the True God Trial?” Cao Xing asked.
The man on the throne replied, “Once you accept it, you will naturally come to know.”
He seemed unwilling to divulge too much.
Cao Xing pondered briefly, continuing to ask, “If I fail to complete the trial, will there be any punishment?”
Caution has always been his style; even now when he is strong, it is still the same.
Without knowing the specific content of the trial, blindly accepting may lead to trouble if there are time limits or penalties for failing.
The man on the throne laughed lightly and shook his head.
“There is no punishment; if you fail, it just means you are not suitable for my inheritance.”
Upon hearing this, Cao Xing asked no more questions.
He simply responded, “Alright, I accept.”
The man’s mouth curled into another smile.
Then, he slowly raised his right hand, a white light instantly burst from his fingertip, landing in the middle of Cao Xing’s forehead.
Simultaneously, the surrounding scene rapidly retreated.
The white space, along with the man on the throne, vanished without a trace.
When Cao Xing returned to the City of Undead, the system prompt appeared.
[Survivor Cao Xing, please be aware! You have triggered an SS-level major event, the True God Trial!]
[Task of the First Ring: Head to Vortex Mountain, defeat the Legendary Creature: Extreme Cold Demon Worm, and activate the next ring task]
[The True God Trial is divided into four rings. Upon completing all trials, you will receive the Plane Key, unlock the hidden plane, and gain the War God’s inheritance!]
…
Seeing this prompt, a serious look appeared in Cao Xing’s eyes.
It seemed he hadn’t expected that the difficulty of this task was actually SS-level, higher than completely destroying the Light Church!
Moreover, the first ring task is to defeat the Legendary Creature: Extreme Cold Demon Worm.
One can only say it truly lives up to the SS-level!
This trial task has four rings in total, each one more perverse than the last!
However, it also gave Cao Xing a thought.
After all, he had never slain a legendary-level creature before!
For a creature like the Extreme Cold Demon Worm, it makes one wonder what rewards would burst forth after killing it!
Of course, even though Cao Xing now possesses a trump card to defeat legendary creatures, he doesn’t even know where Vortex Mountain is, so he’ll have to wait for later.
As the light of the statue dissipated, the Black Knight reacted.
He looked at Cao Xing in shock and said, “You actually activated the will of the statue and gained the War God’s inheritance!”
Cao Xing nodded.
“That’s great!”
He seemed incredibly excited.
This group of undead had guarded here for over ten thousand years, just waiting for this moment!
Now, their wish has finally been fulfilled, so they are naturally so excited.
Cao Xing said with a smile, “Tiernis, can you give me the Origin Shield now?”
“Of course!”
The Black Knight solemnly declared, “Since you have gained His acknowledgment, this shield naturally belongs to you!”
With that.
He raised the scythe in his hand and slashed forward with force!
“Swish!”
A terrifying gust cut across!
A long crack spanning hundreds of meters appeared on the ground beside the statue, cleaved by this slash.
Then, the crack began to slowly widen.
“Boom…”
The ground began to shake wildly.
From this crack, a mysterious and ancient light erupted!
It seemed as though something was about to charge out from the depths of the earth!
Under Cao Xing’s gaze, an ancient shield exuding a mysterious and ancient aura slowly rose from the ground.
Upon its appearance, the shield emanated a profound sense of weight, seemingly stepping from the annals of ancient times, carrying countless histories.
It looked indestructible.
As it continued to rise, waves of light emerged on the surface of the shield.
The ancient stone skin peeled off, revealing dark green patterns on its surface.
From these green patterns, a vast and majestic life force surged forth!
Just standing nearby, you could feel the strength of this shield!
When all the commotion ceased.
The shield hovered quietly in mid-air, resembling an insurmountable barrier!
Cao Xing marveled, “It’s beautiful…”
The neighboring Tiernis also sighed, “You’re right.”
“This shield once guarded Gray City, deflecting numerous crises, bearing the glory and brilliance of that era.”
“Now, it belongs to you.”
Cao Xing nodded solemnly.
