Chapter 85 – Astonishing Harvest!

Over the next several hours, Ye Sheng remained within the Bronze Ancient City.

On one hand, he slaughtered Bronze-tier Yin Soldiers to farm equipment.

On the other, he grinded the Proficiency of the Annihilation-grade Skill ‘Demon-Sealing Great Hand Seal’, wanting to see what changes would occur once the Skill’s Level increased.

Boom!

Another violent tremor shook the Bronze Ancient City.

Amidst the quaking, large swathes of buildings collapsed under the bombardment of the ‘Demon-Sealing Great Hand Seal’, and vast numbers of Bronze-tier Yin Soldiers were annihilated as if mowed down like grass.

Although the Bronze-tier Yin Soldiers possessed 100 times the Combat Power, they still could not withstand a single palm strike from Ye Sheng.

“Cleared again!”

Ye Sheng hovered cross-legged in the air above the Bronze Ancient City, glancing down at the once again empty city and shaking his head helplessly.

The Yin Soldiers in this Bronze Ancient City were simply not enough for him to kill.

Every time, just a few strikes of the ‘Demon-Sealing Great Hand Seal’ would clear them all out,

followed by a sweeping glance to see if any Legendary orange equipment had dropped.

As for equipment of other colors, Ye Sheng couldn’t be bothered to pick them up—there was no point anyway.

Several minutes later.

Another wave of Yin Soldiers respawned in the ancient city below.

Ye Sheng looked down, intending to clear them out once more.

But soon, he frowned!

After this respawn, the bronze glow enveloping the entire Bronze Ancient City actually faded away.

That’s right—it faded!

The entire Bronze Ancient City lost its bronze glow, turning into an ordinary ancient city.

The respawned Yin Soldiers also became ordinary 3rd Revolution Perfection Realm Yin Soldiers, no longer possessing 100 times the Combat Power!

“It downgraded? Turned into an ordinary ancient city?”

Ye Sheng swept his gaze over it and shook his head.

He had indeed heard Sun Cheng mention this before—

a Bronze Ancient City would not remain bronze-tier forever.

Over time, it would downgrade!

A Bronze Ancient City would become an ordinary ancient city.

A Silver Ancient City would become a Bronze Ancient City, or even directly downgrade to an ordinary ancient city.

In other words,

within the entire Shadow City Secret Realm, the tiers of the ancient cities were not fixed.

Instead, they changed randomly!

There had even been instances where an ordinary ancient city transformed into a Red Mythic Tier ancient city the very next second.

Everything was random, with no fixed pattern!

Under such circumstances, encountering a ‘Red Mythic Tier Ancient City’ required extremely strong luck.

“Forget it, let’s check the gains!”

Seeing that this Bronze Ancient City had turned into an ordinary one, Ye Sheng lost interest in continuing to farm it.

Instead, he opened his Spatial Bracelet and began taking stock of the rewards from this session.

Just as Sun Cheng had said,

the drop rate in Bronze-tier Ancient Cities was indeed significantly higher.

After farming here for several hours, Ye Sheng had obtained over a dozen pieces of 3rd Revolution Legendary Grade Equipment.

And each piece was a top-tier Legendary equipment at 3rd Revolution Level 100.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

With a wave of his hand, over a dozen Legendary orange light orbs floated and hovered around Ye Sheng.

Each orb contained a piece of Legendary Equipment, brimming with immense energy!

Among these dozen or so pieces of equipment were helmets, chest armor robes, leg guards… and various other components.

Ye Sheng examined them, focusing on whether these pieces could form a complete set.

After a thorough check, Ye Sheng shook his head in disappointment.

Most of what dropped this time were still scattered pieces, unable to form a full set.

Only the ‘Golden Monolith Series’ barely managed to make up three pieces!

Specifically: ‘Golden Monolith Dragon Robe’, ‘Golden Monolith Dragon Helmet’, and ‘Golden Monolith War Boots’…

Ye Sheng stored away the other scattered pieces and turned his attention to these three pieces of equipment.

The Golden Monolith Dragon Robe was entirely golden, with golden dragon patterns embroidered all over the robe. Its appearance looked exceptionally fine.

Its attributes were impressive!

Ye Sheng thought it suited him quite well.

The Golden Monolith Dragon Helmet and Golden Monolith War Boots were also golden, adorned with golden dragon patterns.

“Still missing the other three pieces of the Golden Monolith Series equipment. If I find them, I can complete the Golden Monolith set and activate its set attributes!”

Ye Sheng observed.

Apart from these three pieces, he still needed the Golden Monolith Belt, Golden Monolith Leg Guards, and Golden Monolith Arm Guards…

A weapon wasn’t necessary; the set only required six pieces to activate its set attributes!

Ye Sheng stroked his chin, looking at the three Golden Monolith pieces before him. “This Golden Monolith Series is the closest to completing a full set…

I hope things go smoothly from here!”

Ye Sheng shook his head, thinking to himself how difficult it truly was to assemble a full set!

Even someone like him, who mows down monsters like cutting grass, found it this challenging—others would likely find it even harder!

And indeed, that was the case.

Most people, even if they possessed a full set of Legendary Equipment, only had scattered pieces.

It was very difficult to assemble a complete set and activate its set attributes!

Ye Sheng stopped overthinking, stood up, and left the city via Aerial Flight, heading to other regions to continue his search.

Bronze-tier ancient cities were still a bit low-level.

If he could find Silver-tier ancient cities, or even Gold-tier and above ancient cities, it might be even better!

…

Over the next period of time, Ye Sheng’s luck was quite good.

He encountered three Silver-tier ancient cities.

Silver-tier ancient cities emitted a silvery glow all over, and the Yin Soldiers within them had silvery bodies.

The drop rates were also impressive, several times higher than those of Bronze-tier ancient cities!

Ye Sheng cleared them until their Levels dropped before leaving.

During this time, he also encountered a Gold-tier ancient city!

It was like finding a Supreme Treasure!

He stepped inside without hesitation.

It was worth mentioning that a small team discovered this ancient city alongside Ye Sheng.

But after witnessing Ye Sheng’s Invincible Realm Combat Power, they turned and left without a word, showing no hesitation.

Seeing that they were sensible, Ye Sheng didn’t make things difficult for them.

In the end!

After clearing several ancient cities, Ye Sheng gained quite a bit.

He successively obtained the ‘Golden Monolith Belt’ and ‘Golden Monolith Arm Guards’ from the Golden Monolith Series…

Only the ‘Golden Monolith Leg Guards’ remained unacquired.

…

Above the Gold-tier ancient city.

Ye Sheng sat cross-legged in mid-air.

“Just one more piece, the ‘Golden Monolith Leg Guards,’ and the Golden Monolith Series will be complete.”

After saying this, he couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief.

Whoosh!

Storing away the two Legendary Equipment pieces from the Golden Monolith Series, Ye Sheng opened his Skill Panel.

After such a long time,

‘Demon-Sealing Great Hand Seal’ had finally reached Level 3!

Its attributes had undergone a tremendous transformation.

[Annihilation-grade Skill: Demon-Sealing Great Hand Seal (Level 3), one of the top-tier Demon-Sealing palm techniques of the Daoist School.

Attack Power Increase: +48,000%!

Damage to Ghost Creatures Increase: +60,000%!

Demon-Sealing Power: Hunt Ghost Creatures, accumulate Yin Energy. Once fully accumulated, you may choose to unleash a palm strike with an Attack Power Increase of +30,000%.

Note: Current Skill Level can accumulate—three palm strikes.

Accumulation Progress—Three palm strikes already accumulated…]

Ye Sheng glanced at it and nodded with considerable satisfaction.

After Demon-Sealing Great Hand Seal reached Level 3,

the Attack Power Increase reached +48,000%!

That was 480 times!

Much higher than the +12,000% at Level 1.

However, compared to the +60,000% of ‘Diamond Demon-Subduing Sword,’ it still fell a bit short.

But…

Ye Sheng’s gaze shifted to the essence of this Destruction Tier Skill—’Demon-Sealing Power.’

Demon-Sealing Power: Hunt Ghost Creatures, accumulate Yin Energy, and upon full accumulation, optionally unleash a palm strike with an attack power increase of +30000%.

“Upon full accumulation, unleash a palm strike with an attack power increase of +30000%!”

Ye Sheng took a deep breath.

This alone was utterly heaven-defying!

+30000% palm strike!

That’s 300 times the combat power!
