So it turned out, after the battle in the Hell Gladiator Arena completely ended, the very first thing Zhang Yue did after logging off was to find Ouyang Ling'er and arrange for her to get someone to make two treasures that could conceal one's aura.
Because Zhang Yue understood perfectly well: in the later stage, the Demon Emperor Yu would definitely bring along the God of Desire and the God of Malevolence to cause him trouble.
With his current strength at level 175, Tier 4, how could he possibly contend against a level 480 Demon Emperor, and a level 450 Main God?
So the best way was to avoid fighting.
And based on the experience from a thousand years ago fighting the three Main Gods, Zhang Yue also knew: the three Main Gods could pinpoint the precise location of enemies by tracking their aura.
Therefore, if he wanted to escape the Demon Emperor's pursuit, the best method was to conceal his own aura, leaving them no trace to follow.
Facts proved: Ouyang Ling'er did indeed carry out Zhang Yue's request.
She really did have two items made with the effect of concealing aura, prepared one for Zhang Yue and one for Chen Zijin.
But what Zhang Yue hadn't expected was that she had actually made them into two rings.
And even attached such… indescribable descriptions.
———
At the same time, on the other side.
Chen Zijin quickly ran outside the safe zone.
In her hands, she held the ring that Zhang Yue had gifted her. For a moment her heartbeat sped up, and her face turned red like a fully ripened peach.
"So, does this mean we're already… together?"
"No, wait, I just ran off too fast earlier. He hasn't even confessed to me yet! What if I misunderstood his intentions?"
Just as Chen Zijin was thinking this, she picked up the ring in her hand and looked at it.
When she saw that the ring was custom-made, and its name was even called [Heart of Eternity], half the weight pressing on Chen Zijin's heart immediately eased.
Then, looking at the ring's description, she became completely reassured.
First of all, a ring itself carried extraordinary meaning.
Secondly, a custom-made item's name could be set by oneself. To name it "Heart of Eternity" carried such a deliberate intention, this naming style already confirmed Chen Zijin's guess.
Finally, there was the description of the ring.
The Heart of Eternity that pledges to love only one, the wearer shall receive the blessing of the Goddess of Love, kept away from impurity…
'Isn't this just a love confession?'
Moreover, recalling just now when Zhang Yue handed the ring to her, she remembered that he himself was also wearing another one.
'There could be no mistake.'
'This is definitely Zhang Yue's token of love, prepared for me!'
Just at this moment, Zhang Yue sent Chen Zijin a message, ["The ring I just gave you, you must always keep it with you."]
Seeing this message, Chen Zijin became even more certain of Zhang Yue's feelings. Her heart couldn't help but overflow with joy.
She thought: 'Who would've expected this big straight man, who looks so blunt, is actually quite romantic and warm inside!'
'He even specially had a ring custom-made for me!'
So Chen Zijin replied, ["Got it!"]
———
On the other side—
Zhang Yue closed the dialogue box, and himself also put on the other [Heart of Eternity] ring.
Instantly, silver light flowed out from the ring, enveloping Zhang Yue's body.
With that, Zhang Yue's aura was concealed.
The Demon Emperor could no longer use aura to track his location.
And Zhang Yue's next task was to swiftly clear the Otherworld worlds, break through his level and strength, to prepare for the coming battle with Demon Emperor Yu.
Whoosh!
At Zhang Yue's summoning, a spatial gate appeared before him.
Zhang Yue stepped into the gate.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared inside a vast and majestic divine ruin.
["Ding~ Welcome to the World 34 of Otherworld · Divine Ruins, realm quest has been issued!"]
Before officially beginning the raid on the World 34, there was one important thing left.
Zhang Yue opened his storage space, only to see several items inside, each radiating golden light, clearly treasures of immeasurable value.
These were the spoils dropped when he had slain the God of Wrath, Jie'e, in the Hell Gladiator Arena.
After the battle ended, he had immediately been called offline for a meeting.
After the meeting, he ate, then got back online right away, which left him no time to even check the loot.
Of course, admittedly, Zhang Yue also had this thought: to save the most thrilling moment for when he was at ease.
After all, this was the first drop from the strongest king-class boss of the Otherworld, one of the Three Main Gods, the God of Wrath, Jie'e.
A super BOSS that hadn't been able to be killed even a hundred years ago.
Although at present the God of Wrath was still in a weakened state after being sealed for a century, and had not yet fully recovered his strength from a hundred years ago. Even now at level 450, it was equivalent to about 90% of his full power.
But its actual value was set there, and that would never change.
In other words, even if it had been slain at level 1, its drops would still correspond to the value of a level 500 quasi-king Main God BOSS.
From Chen Zijin's side he learned: when she killed the Hell Familiar Golia, she obtained from its body a set of supreme equipment that could be extended to 50 stars, plus a legendary treasure, and a unique skill book.
And the Hell Familiar Golia was merely a level 175 king-class BOSS.
Whereas the God of Wrath, Jie'e, had an inner potential of level 500.
Though outwardly classified as a king-class BOSS, its intrinsic value far surpassed the king tier.
Therefore, the drops from the God of Wrath would absolutely be several times richer than those from the Hell Familiar.
With an expectant heart, Zhang Yue began to tally his harvest.
And the result, truly stunned Zhang Yue.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Wrath God Set] (Unlimited Growth Set)
[Wrath Source Stone] (Mythical Treasure)
[Thunder of Wrath] (SSSSS-rank Forbidden Curse Skill Book)
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Even Zhang Yue, who as the Godslayer had already seen countless storms and waves, at this moment couldn't help but burst out with two words, "Holy shit!"
This really was a "holy shit" moment.
Zhang Yue had thought the loot from the God of Wrath would be bountiful.
But he had never imagined, it would be this bountiful.
He had reasoned: Chen Zijin from a level 175 king-class BOSS got a set extendable up to 50 stars, plus a legendary treasure and an SSS-rank unique skill book.
Then from the God of Wrath, he should be able to obtain equipment extendable to seventy or eighty stars.
After all, in the Otherworld, the highest-quality equipment currently known only reached 95 stars.
Being able to extend up to 80 stars was already considered the absolute top tier.
But unexpectedly, the God of Wrath had directly given Zhang Yue a set of equipment similar in nature to the [Transcendent Set], with unlimited growth.
One must know, the Transcendent Set wasn't unlimited growth to begin with; it originally had a cap.
Only after Zhang Yue's painstaking efforts in the later stage did he manage to break that limit, making it an unlimited growth set.
By comparison, this [Wrath God Set] came far too easily.
And there was even a mythical treasure, plus a 5S-rank forbidden curse.
This was the rhythm of taking off.
