[World 42, One of the Five Great Nations]
[Light Nation, Imperial City]
The entire Light Nation was the most heavily guarded and the most prestigious place.
Outside the city, a large number of soldiers were stationed, even: every single NPC soldier’s rank was a Level 230 BOSS.
Ordinary people approaching the imperial city was like a tale from Thousand and One Nights.
Even rulers and emperors whose status ranked just below the God Emperor had strict limits on entering the imperial city, only allowed to enter once per day, and before entering they had to undergo inspection.
When Zhang Yue, bearing the title [God Emperor], arrived outside the imperial city, all the soldiers stationed outside the city saluted Zhang Yue respectfully.
"Hail the God Emperor!"
Then, under the envious gazes of passersby outside the city, Zhang Yue strode into the imperial city.
He went straight to the Armory inside the imperial city and, using his God Emperor identity, opened the Armory.
Instantly, all kinds of dazzling top-tier equipnt t his eyes.
Seeing these pieces of gear, even Zhang Yue felt a little tempted.
["Ding~ System detected your rank as [God Emperor]. You may choose any one set of equipnt from this Armory and may take it out of the imperial city for permanent use!"]
In the Armory there were sets focused on fire-type attacks [God Fire Set], wind-type attacks [Gale Shadow Set], ice-type attacks [Frost Walker Set]...
These top-tier pieces were all Level 230, 45-star quality, and all fully golden-refined.
The equipnt was excellent, but compared with the Transcendent Set on Zhang Yue’s body, it still fell far short.
Zhang Yue checked his current equipnt status.
[Immortal·Transcendent Set: Level 224, 29-star]
In the World 42 where 35–40 star gear runs rampant, this 29-star set was really out of place.
It was precisely because of this 29-star gear that Zhang Yue had been unable to rise in recent fights, relying almost entirely on Chen Zijin to barely hold things together.
So Zhang Yue picked a 30-star set from the Armory.
["Ding~ System suggests: you may choose higher quality equipnt. Confirm final choice of Level 230, 30-star [Shadowless Set] as your selection?"]
["Confirm."]
Zhang Yue took out the Shadowless Set.
["Ding~ Before leaving the imperial city you may change equipnt. Note: once you carry the Shadowless Set out of the imperial city, you will not be able to change equipnt again!"]
Zhang Yue’s choice was indeed the Shadowless Set.
But this was not his final choice.
The mont he obtained the Shadowless Set, Zhang Yue imdiately used that set as fodder, letting his Transcendent Set devour it.
At this point the system seed to bug out, sounding a prompt: ["Ding~ Please select the equipnt you will take away."]
"Surely this bug can be exploited to infinitely upgrade the Transcendent Set."
Although Zhang Yue had already thought of this possibility, when the mont to actually implent it arrived he still felt a thrill.
After all, this was a chance to infinitely enhance the Transcendent Set.
He had been waiting for this mont for a long ti.
So from then on, Zhang Yue stopped holding back and began to act recklessly!
30-star Demon Staff, devour!
30-star Flowlight Ring, devour!
30-star Hell Emissary Spear, devour!
30-star Dark Moon Armor, devour!
Every piece in the Armory was golden-refined, so Zhang Yue didn’t need to manually refine them.
Devouring equipnt of the corresponding slot granted experience to the Transcendent Set.
Through repeated devouring, very quickly the experience bars for all seven pieces of the Transcendent Set were filled.
The final step: breakthrough.
["Ding~ Congratulations, your [Immortal·Transcendent Set] grade has increased from 29-star to 30-star. Equipnt attributes have been enhanced, equipnt skills upgraded. Congratulations, you have obtained [Endless·Transcendent Set]!"]
["Ding~ Congratulations, your [Endless·Transcendent Set] grade has increased from 30-star to 31-star. Equipnt attributes have been enhanced!"]
["Ding~ Congratulations, your [Endless·Transcendent Set] grade has increased from 31-star to 32-star. Equipnt attributes have been enhanced!"]
["Ding..."]
One pleasant prompt after another echoed in Zhang Yue’s ears.
He could tangibly feel that his set was advancing and upgrading again and again.
And under the support of the Transcendent Set, Zhang Yue’s own attributes were undergoing round after round of extre enhancents.
Every 5 star levels of the Transcendent Set brought a major improvent; the interdiate levels were smaller improvents.
For example: 31–34 stars are small upgrades, 35 stars is a major upgrade.
36–39 stars are small upgrades, 40 stars a major upgrade.
Each small upgrade could bring a large increase to equipnt attributes.
Each major upgrade not only raised attributes significantly but also increased the strength of the skills attached to the equipnt.
Moreover, each major upgrade could change the Transcendent Set’s prefix and elevate the set’s special effects, a qualitative leap.
From the initial 29-star Immortal·Transcendent Set, the progression went:
30-star, Endless·Transcendent Set!
35-star, Illusory World·Transcendent Set!
40-star, Supre·Transcendent Set!
Upon reaching the Supre·Transcendent Set realm, golden magic runes already appeared around Zhang Yue’s body, continuously circling and emitting golden light; the visual effects maxed out.
Yet that was still not enough.
Keep devouring.
After all, the Armory’s highest star-rank gear reached 45 stars.
According to the Transcendent Set’s devouring rules: the minimum devourable star level is one star below the set’s current star level, the maximum devourable star level is one star above the set’s current star level.
Thus the Transcendent Set could be upgraded at least to 47 stars.
Zhang Yue showed no restraint.
From the Armory, he grabbed the most expensive gear and devoured it.
Anyway, as long as he didn’t take it out of the imperial city, the Armory’s equipnt was for him to consu.
The World 42’s rule for God Emperors was that a God Emperor could take one set of equipnt out of the imperial city.
As long as it wasn’t taken out, equipnt inside the imperial city devoured by the Transcendent Set could not be detected by the system.
In theory, this was a bug.
But Zhang Yue happened to have a Transcendent Set that could be upgraded by devouring other equipnt.
If anyone else discovered this bug, they couldn’t exploit it like he did.
So, with Zhang Yue’s continuous devouring, the Transcendent Set upgraded and upgraded again.
["Ding~ Congratulations, your [Supre·Transcendent Set] grade has increased from 42-star to 43-star. Equipnt attributes have been enhanced!"]
["Ding..."]
["Ding~ Congratulations, your [Supre·Transcendent Set] grade has increased from 44-star to 45-star. Equipnt attributes have been enhanced, equipnt skills upgraded. Congratulations, you have obtained [Glory·Transcendent Set]!"]
Whoosh!
A burst of golden fla ignited around Zhang Yue.
Several golden long dragons rose and wrapped around him.
Visual effects maxed out.
His montum was invincible.
