Earth’s Best Gamer-Chapter 456 - Three Transcendent Rewards
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The yakshas shouted in their own language.
The fight between two Transcendent beings was doubtlessly the key to the entire battle.
With his three heads and six arms, the yaksha king was a conspicuous target. The other flying yakshas noticed as soon as he was killed.
They cried out in disbelief.
He was one of the three heads of the settlement, and he was able to kill all kinds of aliens without difficulty.
Yet he was killed by a human being that they considered to be extremely weak, and it happened so fast!
“Retreat…” said the female yaksha in their own language.
She had been fighting against Dian Wei with her high speed and could understand human language.
But it wouldn’t be that easy.
The Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon shone resplendently in the sky.
Martial arts practitioners and government soldiers had joined hands, angrily chasing after the flying yakshas.
Having lost their ability to fly, it was very difficult for the silver-winged yakshas to leave Guobei County.
“Leave this to me. Go back and report to our heads!” said a yaksha in their own language.
After looking at one another, four silver-winged yakshas whose eyes had turned bloodshot red chose to sacrifice themselves. They bared their fangs and charged at Ji Ye.
Boom!
The female yaksha activated the silver light and met Dian Wei’s strike head-on. The impact struck her away, and with the momentum, she flew over 100m and fell to the ground outside Guobei County.
She then held her chest that had caved in and desperately ran in a certain direction.
Because of her severe injury, she didn’t notice that when she was some distance away, an invisible figure followed her.
The yakshas suffered a heavy loss tonight, probably losing over one-third of their advanced soldiers.
Dragon City shadowed her because once they found the specific location of the yaksha settlement, they could gather information about the yakshas and even send out an army to eliminate this hidden danger.
That was why the female yaksha could still run away after she was severely injured by Dian Wei.
It was a long-term plan.
“Roar!”
Needless to say, the four silver-winged yakshas left behind had met their end.
Ji Ye didn’t even have to do it himself. When he retrieved the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, it strangled the four yakshas one after another on its way down.
“Dad! Please don’t leave me!”
“Mom! Wake up!”
Apart from three wounded ones, none of the flying yakshas were able to get away.
There were a lot of shiny rewards on the streets of Guobei County, but the county had paid a heavy price as well.
Over 400 people were killed by the yakshas, which was over 10% of the population.
Even County Magistrate Guo, who had passed out, was unfortunately killed in the battle.
Now that the Flood Dragon Gang was annihilated, Guobei County was leaderless.
“Yingying, come here. We should thank Master Dragon and the fairy…”
The more fortunate ones saw Ji Ye with his golden Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon and Nie Xiaoqian, who had just walked out of the golden chariot with the Mirage Dragon and looked like a fairy in her white dress.
They fell to their knees and kept knocking their foreheads against the ground, showing their gratitude and veneration.
“It seems that we’re going to have a sub-settlement.”
Ji Ye was satisfied with the outcome.
Apart from the Transcendent yaksha king, everything else didn’t differ much from the deduction of Dragon City’s management team.
Of course, the satisfaction mainly came from the rewards dropped by the yaksha king.
First of all, there was the trident that was surrounded by a silver light.
[Retribution Fire Trident]
[Level: Transcendent Rank-1]
[Rarity: Superior (Rare)]
[Description: A weapon that contains the fire of retribution. When hitting a target, it would ignite the target’s sin. The more the weapon killed, the more lethal the fire would be.]
It was indeed a Transcendent object and was both a Superior and a Rare one.
Burning the target’s sin to create the fire of retribution, such Transcendent power would be very effective on certain special targets.
For instance, Ji Ye had taken a lot of lives so far. If he had chosen to meet the trident with the dragon’s bare claws, the dragon’s body wouldn’t have been pierced.
But he also wouldn’t be able to withstand the fire that would burn him from inside out.
According to the information he received, the sin of taking lives wasn’t limited to those he had killed with his own hands. The lives that were lost as a result of his conduct were counted as his sin as well.
It meant that even someone like Elder Jiao, who hadn’t killed anyone personally, would still be burnt by the fire of retribution.
After all, the firearms he had created had made a great contribution to Dragon City.
The contribution he made was worth at least three special forces put together.
Apart from the trident, the black chain with runes that almost took Ji Ye’s soul away was also covered by a silver light that represented a Transcendent reward.
[Snatching Chain]
[Level: Transcendent Rank-1]
[Rarity: Superior]
[Description: Legend has it that it was used by the soul-snatchers from hell. It could switch between tangible and intangible forms and could snatch the souls of living creatures!]
“Another Transcendent weapon.
“This yaksha king is quite a treasure!”
Ji Ye looked at the yaksha king on the ground. Without his wings, he wasn’t much taller than Li Yuanba.
The Transcendent power of switching between tangible and intangible forms was as impressive as the trident that could burn one’s sin.
He had just actively detonated the Soul Mask, so the chain would be a great choice to fill the blank.
As for the bone saber, the bleeding shield, and the purple pearl, they were also advanced weapons of Extraordinary Rank-9.
Unfortunately, Ji Ye had destroyed all three during the battle.
But because they were only Extraordinary Rank-9, Ji Ye could gather their pieces and fuse them.
Although the Soul Mask had exploded, he could always use Fusion to put it back.
In comparison, Ji Ye found the third reward more worthwhile to use Fusion on.
[Yaksha King’s Wing*2]
[Level: Transcendent Rank-1]
[Rarity: Superior offering]
[Description: The golden wings represented the yaksha king’s status and were also the most powerful and hardest weapon he had. Unfortunately, he had met an enemy that was even more powerful!]
A Transcendent offering!
That was the second Transcendent offering Dragon City had found so far.
The first one was the Devil’s Parchment dropped by the Ghostship captain. Because they didn’t have a Soul of Civilization of the same level, the parchment was still lying around in Dragon City’s vault.
Compared with that, this pair of wings were obviously more valuable.
Because they were Superior and only needed one Fusion. They would probably create a Perfect object like the Sky-cutting Tiger Wings they used to summon Wu Song.
After killing the yaksha king, they also obtained a Transcendent Rank-1 Quasi-Commander Soul of Civilization.
Theoretically, Dragon City could soon summon a true Transcendent hero.
Speaking of Transcendent power…
After putting the rewards away, Ji Ye looked up and turned his head to the side.
Boom, boom, boom…
While Ji Ye and the Golden-winged Yaksha King were engaging in a fierce battle, about 2.5km away, a Transcendent-level battle took place in Lanruo Temple as well.
Golden Buddha Light and black demon energy rose to the sky, ripping open the clouds.
But soon, the golden light was suppressed by black clouds.
Then, the sound gradually died down.
“The old monk has lost the battle!”
Ji Ye was a little confused.
It was apparent that the old monk was defeated, but that was rather strange.
The ability Monk Bai Yun had demonstrated was beyond a Common Transcendent one. He should be an Excellent hero at least.
Based on the original fiction, the monk wasn’t able to defeat the Tree Demon, but he shouldn’t have lost so quickly.
“Huh?”
However, Ji Ye’s eyes flickered when he looked at the black clouds again.
“Help! Help me!”
Because the golden Buddha Light appeared again.
Right after that, a handsome young monk wearing a white robe showed up, sitting on a nine-ringed staff that was emitting Buddhist energy.
He yelled as he flew out of Lanruo Temple and fell right into Guobei County.
“I think I know why…”
Ji Ye nodded.
He remembered that this young monk named “Shi Fang ” was almost as unreliable as Ninth Uncle’s two pupils.
And there was something else.
In the Land of Inheritance, the capabilities of monsters and people weren’t determined by the original fictions; it would be affected by popularity as well!
Needless to say, hardly anyone had heard of the old monk before.
On the contrary, as the main villain, Granny Tree Demon was almost as famous as the main characters such as Nie Xiaoqian and Yan Chixia. If she were a hero, she would be a Superior one at least.
Because of all those factors, Monk Bai Yun, who had been so confident with himself, wasn’t able to eliminate the demon.
Instead, he was severely injured.
“But with the old monk’s ability, even if Granny Tree Demon could defeat him, it would still be a fierce battle. She’s probably injured as well. If we go there and kill her now, we may get another Transcendent offering. As for the Soul of Civilization…”
The people of Guobei County killed in the battle just then would drop Souls of Civilization.
It meant that the Thousand-Year Tree Demon might also drop a Soul of Civilization. If that was the case, Dragon City could summon two Transcendent heroes at once!
