After completing his ascension, Shawn was about to leave Abyss City to travel the entire planet, searching for his destined path.
"Just doing business in Abyss City is far from enough to gather the vast resources I need."
"I’d be better off capturing an Underground City from a bizarre creature, preferably one with resource deposits."
"With my current strength."
"I should have a good chance of capturing an Underground City on my own."
One man takes a city.
Shawn was still a bit short in strength now, but after completing his ascension to beco a High Tier transcendent with dual paths of Arcane Magic and Mind, he was equipped with the might to single-handedly capture an Underground City.
Of course, before that, he needed to prepare a lot, ensuring he had a full set of Curios equipnt.
——Sealed Object - Evil Beast Ghost Claw!
This was an ordinary sealed object.
It looked like a nacing tiger claw twisted into the outline of a human arm, covered with mottled white fur. The Evil Beast Demon is a creature capable of transforming into human form, and this sealed object was derived from its corresponding transcendent being.
Shawn attempted to activate this sealed object.
It had a condition, it must be a non-kind alignnt creature.
Preferably an evil alignnt creature to activate.
Sealed objects have so unique activation conditions, unlike Curios they are not completely processed equipnt.
The next second.
Shawn’s body began to change, his arm transford into a furry claw, fine hairs sprouted on his face, his canine teeth protruded, and his muscles swelled, transforming him into a fierce half-human, half-beast creature nearly two ters tall.
"Begin analyzing the sealed object!"
"Knowledge insight into oneself!... Analyze corresponding enhancent abilities!..."
Shawn closed his eyes, mysterious knowledge in his mind flowing through his entire body.
"Power enhancent."
"My strength has been stabilized to nearly the level of Transcendent Power, equivalent to a Tier Three warrior."
"Combat skills enhancent."
"My body has been implanted with ’combat reflex,’ combat intuition enhancent, mastery of innate weapon - claw, and biological constant alertness; part of my extraordinary level has been transford into a monster template."
"Dark vision enhancent, this is a constant talent."
Shawn opened his eyes, a hint of bloodlust glimring in his eerie pupils, a pollution from the sealed object, but he could endure it.
This level of pollution was hardly trouble for him.
"Corporal distortion."
"I now possess innate protection level."
Shawn picked up a dagger and sliced his skin, a trickle of blood oozed out, the Invisible Hand continued to record.
"Damage reduction enhancent."
"Spell resistance enhancent."
"Sealed objects differ from Curios, they cannot fully process the Extraordinary Essence, so they can inherit part of the original Evil Beast Demon’s abilities."
Most Curios are single-attribute enhancents, multi-attribute ones are relatively rare.
Sealed objects offer comprehensive enhancent, but the pollution is more severe. The abilities of sealed objects depend on how much power is retained from the stripped Extraordinary Essence of the deceased owner.
"The Extraordinary Essence of sealed objects is quite complicated and massive, very difficult to fully process."
"If stripped down."
"It can be used to create specific ability-enhancing Curios, but that would be a great waste."
——Spiritual Vision!
Open!
Shawn walked to the mirror and looked at his half-human, half-beast reflection. Under his Spiritual Vision, behind himself was a vivid purple radiance, like a condensed bubble. In the shadow cast by his reflection, the nacing ghostly image of an Evil Beast Demon appeared, the lingering consciousness essence of the sealed object.
"It can be understood as soul fragnts, binding spirit, evil thoughts, and such concepts."
"The soul and mory of the deceased Evil Beast Demon have rged into the Extraordinary Essence, ultimately forming this ghost claw sealed object."
"Those who do not et its conditions will suffer a stronger backlash."
"Therefore, kind alignnt individuals cannot use it; simply touching it would be attacked by evil thoughts."
Shawn pondered for a long ti.
Finally recorded in his Magic Notebook: "The research on sealed objects involves the soul level, equivalent to refining all abilities of a transcendent into a high-pollution powerful equipnt."
"Using them is akin to being possessed by a deceased transcendent!"
"Currently, this research is sowhat beyond my ability, I need more knowledge to support further research work."
Soul.
With Shawn’s current capability, the research on souls was just starting.
In the afternoon.
Veronica brought the Alchemy Materials Shawn currently needed. She was practically using all her resources to subsidize Shawn’s research work, with no significant returns yet. Yet despite being ravaged crazily last night, though feeling fulfilled, Shawn knew this couldn’t be a long-term strategy.
For the Enchanting Demon, Shawn couldn’t entirely rely on the Thought Mark to control her since she herself was a transcendent on the charm path.
The best partnership undoubtedly involves mutual interests.
Shawn needed to convert his research into results, or else Veronica’s resources would not last long, he would eventually exhaust all of it.
Mages are really costly!
"Master."
The Enchanting Demon’s exceptionally gentle voice sounded: "I’ve brought the things you wanted. However, refined gold is a bit difficult right now, the current output from the mine is very small. I heard that a bizarre creature attacked the mining area, causing many miners to die."
Shawn nodded slightly and said: "Hmm."
"Put it there."
He was about to say sothing when suddenly his expression changed, his figure flickered appearing atop the Astronomical Observatory, directly gazing at the distant sky.
In the sunset, the horizon in the distance was a glaring blood-red!
Veronica seed to sense it too, rushing over full of fear, murmuring: "Master? What happened? I’m feeling very frightened and uneasy right now!"
Shawn’s brows tightened, his expression incredibly solemn.
A tri-bifurcation appeared in his palm, a divination ritual, followed by the flow of mysterious knowledge.
After a long while.
Shawn raised his head, gazing at the distant blood-red sky, enunciating each word: "Ancient ominous augury—Dark Prosperity!"
"An Ancient Evil has awakened."
At this mont.
The laws of the entire planet were being twisted, life thrived abnormally in dark prosperity, and the lifecycle of species was fast-forwarded.
Within one night, vast areas of flourishing mutant plants grew across the land.
The Law of Life was accelerating.
For mortals, after sustaining injuries, their bodies could complete tabolic recovery in just one night, and minor wounds would heal at remarkable speeds, albeit at the cost of accelerated life depletion.
