Chapter 680: Chapter 335: Transcending Exclusive Divine Artifact! (Two in One) _2 "Indeed," Chen Mo replied with a smile and patted Zhui Yi’s shoulder before they both stepped into the shrine. As soon as they entered the shrine, Chen Mo instantly felt an overwhelmingly potent Divine Power pressing down, forcing both him and Zhui Yi to their knees. This was the absolute suppression a higher lifeform held over a lower one, an utterly irresistible force. This Divine Power was so immense that Chen Mo could clearly sense its terrifying nature. Chen Mo knew that if this entity wished it, it wouldn’t even need to act; its oppressive aura alone could crush him to dust. Even though he had undergone deification, the Heavenly Dao’s Hint during that process had stated he was merely an ordinary god-tier creature. Chen Mo knew that despite his deification, he was still just an ordinary individual among higher lifeforms. He had felt something similar when he entered the Divine Training Tower and faced Cha Latu. Cha Latu’s Divine Power was immense, so vast that Chen Mo couldn’t fully grasp it. But even when facing Cha Latu, Chen Mo had never experienced pressure of this magnitude. Although the pressure was intense, the entity showed no hostility. Relying on sheer willpower, Chen Mo managed to struggle to his feet. Only then did he clearly see a small figure floating in the very center of the shrine. "New Dominator of the Undead, you are quite impressive, managing to stand under my pressure." Seeing Chen Mo look at him, the small figure floated over. Despite his small stature, he radiated an incredibly powerful aura. He wore a gorgeous robe adorned with complex runes and patterns that shimmered with a faint light. His eyes were bright and piercing, exuding endless wisdom and authority. His face, delicate and youthful with skin as pale as jade, resembled that of a porcelain doll. From him, Chen Mo sensed an indescribable power, as if he represented some supreme existence. The small figure slowly landed in front of Chen Mo. His voice, both solemn and gentle, resonated in Chen Mo’s ears: "New Dominator of the Undead, you have demonstrated remarkable courage and will. It is truly rare that you managed to overcome various obstacles to reach this place and still stand unwavering under my pressure. I am the mentor of all previous Dominators of the Undead and the guide in this shrine." "Mentor to *all* Dominators of the Undead?" Chen Mo noted the word "all." This person is incredible, isn’t he? He’s been reincarnated here all this time, while so many previous Dominators have died, yet this fellow is still alive and well. "Respected mentor, may I ask how the previous Dominators of the Undead passed away?" Chen Mo was quite concerned about this. Logically, with a talent as monstrous as the Dominator of the Undead, they shouldn’t die so easily. It’s a ridiculously overpowered ability—to remain alive as long as even one summoned creature survives! "There are always mountains beyond mountains, and people beyond people. Those little ones from the past all offended people they shouldn’t have, and that’s how they met their end. You, boy, need to keep your eyes peeled in the future. Understand who you can afford to provoke and who you can’t. Now that you’re a deified being, you should broaden your horizons. Don’t be like you were as a mortal. In the world of gods, each tier of power is like a mountain range separating you. While a mortal might find it easier to defeat a higher-tier enemy, for a god, it’s as difficult as ascending to the heavens. A god whose Divine Power is just one tier higher than yours is enough to crush you." "I see," Chen Mo nodded. "You possess the Eye of Origin and the Divine Physique, giving you a much deeper foundation than those little ones from the past. If you avoid an untimely demise, I imagine you will achieve extraordinary things in the not-too-distant future." "Thank you for your praise, mentor. By the way, how do I receive the inheritance?" "I see you’ve also finished reforging your artifact. Let’s start by Transcending your artifact." As the small figure spoke, he beckoned to Chen Mo with a finger, and the Undead Dominator’s artifact immediately flew from Chen Mo towards him. This guy is truly monstrous! He can take my things just by beckoning with his finger. Seeing the figure’s action, Chen Mo said nothing more. After all, his strength is undeniable; words would be useless. As the small figure brought the artifact, which was larger than himself, before him, his small mouth suddenly opened. Chen Mo then saw him actually spit a terrifying stream of energy at his artifact. This energy was remarkably similar to the ambient energy, a blend of Sacred and death energy. As the light from the small figure’s mouth landed on the Undead Dominator’s artifact, this infusion of energy immediately triggered astonishing changes. Initially, the Undead Dominator’s artifact emitted a faint light, which rapidly grew brighter and more dazzling. The light contained the intertwined powers of the Sacred and death, weaving a bizarre yet magnificent spectacle. As time passed, the form of the Undead Dominator’s artifact gradually changed. Its original, ordinary spherical appearance was gradually overlaid with patterns of Sacred and death, emitting an unparalleled Mysterious Aura. Complex runes and decorative patterns surfaced on the artifact, shimmering with a captivating light. The sphere of the Undead Dominator’s artifact began to undergo various transformations: at times it became a Magic Wand, then a magic book, then a magic sphere, and then again a Long Spear, a long blade, a Longsword, or a dagger. Ultimately, it transformed into a dagger the length of an arm. The dagger looked incredibly sharp and exuded a chilling aura. Mysterious symbols and patterns appeared on its hilt, shimmering like inset gemstones and emitting a dazzling brilliance. The small figure then said to Chen Mo, "Give me a drop of your blood essence." Before Chen Mo could even react, the small figure gestured with his hand. Chen Mo immediately felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if something had been taken from him. A stream of pure blood essence flew from his body and merged into the Undead Dominator’s exclusive artifact. "Don’t worry. Although blood essence is precious, it will recover in a few days. It will only temporarily affect your power output. For the next seven days, you’ll probably only be able to exert ninety percent of your strength. But at your level, that should still be sufficient." As the small figure spoke, he had already infused the blood essence taken from Chen Mo into the Undead Dominator’s exclusive artifact. At this point, Chen Mo also noticed a debuff on himself, indicating "Insufficient Blood Essence." His current blood essence loss was 10%, causing his power output to decrease by 10%. However, hearing the small figure say that this blood essence could be restored, Chen Mo wasn’t too concerned. While there’s a difference between ninety percent and one hundred percent strength, at my current level, the gap isn’t that significant. It doesn’t really matter. Transcending the exclusive artifact is more important. As the small figure completed the final step of Transcending the exclusive artifact. In the very end, the Undead Dominator’s artifact reverted to an ordinary glass sphere, looking like something one could find anywhere in the world. This must be what they call ’returning to true simplicity.’ When the Transcending process was complete, the dazzling light from the Undead Dominator’s artifact fully receded. It had become an unparalleled Transcended exclusive artifact, fusing the powers of the Sacred and death, possessing limitless potential and might. Chen Mo stared unblinkingly at his Undead Dominator’s artifact. Although it now looked exceedingly ordinary, with no trace of its noble status, I can still sense the immense potential hidden within, waiting for me to discover and wield it. After glancing at the Transcended exclusive artifact before him, the small figure nodded in satisfaction, a hint of relief in his eyes, "Not bad. This is the first time I’ve succeeded in Transcending an Undead Dominator’s exclusive artifact so easily." "The first time so easily? Does that mean it can fail?" Chen Mo looked at the other party, stunned. The small figure shot Chen Mo a look and said, "Of course! Did you think Transcending an exclusive artifact was so easy? There was once a Dominator of the Undead who nearly exhausted all his blood essence and still failed the Transcending. Time ran out, and he was kicked out by the Heavenly Dao, having never succeeded. Your blood essence is different. You possess the Divine Physique, so its purity is extremely high. It’s not surprising you succeeded on the first try." Hearing this, Chen Mo was speechless. Good heavens, the failure rate for this process is actually that high! Thankfully, I succeeded on the first try. If it had taken a few more attempts, I probably wouldn’t be able to fight for the next few days. The outside world is probably in chaos right now, and I’m waiting to get stronger to join the fight! It’s a good thing no such accident occurred. "Alright, the exclusive artifact has been Transcended. Now, it’s time to grant you the power of the Transcended form. The Dominator of the Undead’s next step is to become the Main God of the Undead. To achieve this, you must enter the Pool of Dead Spirits. I hope you can endure it." "Endure it?" Chen Mo looked at the figure and asked, "Does receiving the inheritance in this Pool of Dead Spirits also involve a trial?"
