748: The first recorded Ten Secret Treasures

First is the Eternal Frost Civilization, whose ultimate resource is called the "Demon Sealing Altar."

It's an object shaped like a wine jar.

The Demon Sealing Altar, like the Senluo Mask controlled by the Azure Sky Civilization, is an ultimate resource that can be used once its method of use is understood; it doesn't require binding like the eternal heart.

Unfortunately, Sam doesn't know the Demon Sealing Altar's specific abilities because the Eternal Frost Civilization has never used it.

The only information the Azure Sky Civilization knows about the Demon Sealing Altar is that its use comes at a cost, and a significant one at that; its abilities remain a complete mystery.

Next is the Singer Civilization, which is quite Unique.

It's only certain that they possess an ultimate resource, but exactly what kind of ultimate resource is completely unknown.

Because it was a relatively peaceful period, the three Overlord-level Civilizations checked each other, and there were no large-scale wars in essence, so they never used their respective ultimate resources in direct confrontations, and thus didn't know each other's true capabilities.

Take the Eternal Frost Civilization and the Singer Civilization, for example; they actually don't know the specific purpose of the Senluo Mask. It's not that Leader Bolaz never used it.

It's that all the Alien Civilizations who saw it died.

As for whether the other two Overlord-level Civilizations are in the same situation, Sam doesn't know.

In summary, the three Overlord-level Civilizations each currently possess an ultimate resource.

Additionally, there are two pieces of information that are relatively important but currently useless.

This is about the Unique nature of the Ten Secret Treasures!

Originally, the Ten Secret Treasures were not Unique. A long, long time ago, the first recorded Ten Mystic Treasure appeared, belonging to an Alien Civilization called the Undead Civilization.

A Genius of astonishing talent, he is also the Ten Mystic Treasure recorded on the Ruins Civilization's tablet.

In that era, there was more than one Ten Mystic Treasure among the Undead Alien Civilization, but definitely not many, only a very small single digit number.

Later, something unknown happened, and they all disappeared. Disappeared here refers to a historical information gap, not death, though they might have truly died.

Immediately after, following the collective downfall of the former Overlord-level Civilizations, another Genius who Awakened the Ten Secret Treasures appeared.

This person was unrivaled at the time, but he did not destroy any civilization and was known as the Strongest Person.

He was called the Strongest not because of his undefeated record.

Because during that period, strong individuals collectively experienced Withering, even if he was invincible then, he couldn't be called the Strongest.

The reason he held this title was because this Alien Civilization didn't just Awaken the Ten Secret Treasures; he directly took away the position of the Ten Secret Treasures!

This means that no other Alien Civilization can ever Awaken the Ten Secret Treasures again!

If the position is gone, what would they Awaken with?

It was from him that the Ten Secret Treasures gained their Unique nature.

As for why this rumor exists, and how this Strongest Person achieved it, no one knows.

The only certain point in this is that this Alien Civilization is a beast-human life form, and he is still alive.

Chen Du doesn't know if he broke the Unique nature, because strictly speaking, the number of Mystic Treasures he Awakened during his Martial Artist stage was nine.

One Mystic Treasure was Awakened during the Quasi-Warrior stage, and he doesn't know if that counts as cheating?

As for the Undead Civilization, since they could contend with the Shan Hai Civilization, a former Overlord-level Civilization, they were clearly a very powerful civilization.

Unfortunately, the times are different, and information is too scarce.

Most of these records come from some stone tablets of the Ruins Civilization, and a small part from other accidental discoveries.

However, due to the lack of completeness, many processes are missing, but after various means of verification, these contents are basically confirmed to be accurate.

It's just a pity that the Ruins Civilization has no information about the Nine Forbidden Zones, as if their affairs were erased.

Finally, and most importantly.

According to the Azure Sky Civilization's Old Ancestor's original words.

The Rank 35 restriction, for unknown reasons, loosened once not long ago.

The Old Ancestor predicted that there might be changes in the Nine Forbidden Zones, and currently, the three Overlord-level Civilizations are all accumulating strength.

The Old Ancestor, plus the ultimate resource, plus the strength they have accumulated over so many years, are preparing to welcome a highly probable war!

The ferocity of this war will surpass that of the Horn War, a complete reshuffling.

The three Overlord-level Civilizations all want to maintain their dominant positions.

All of the above is most of the information Chen Du obtained, with some other information that is temporarily irrelevant to him.

For example, information about some ultimate resources, but most of them are extinct, and also the histories of many Great Civilizations, as well as some very basic information within Great Civilizations.

For example, a Rank 35 Domain Warrior does not have the "Advanced" prefix; the title remains Domain Warrior, and so on.

Unfortunately, there is no information about the Egg God; Sam is completely unaware of it.

Chen Du walked towards Sam and took out a golden glowing sphere from his Storage Ring.

"Domain Relic."

A resource with a very low cost-performance ratio.

It is well known that increasing a Domain Warrior's Life Strength is extremely difficult. Aside from things like life source, among the non-extinct resources currently available, there are almost none that can directly help a Domain Warrior increase their Rank.

But the Domain Relic is that exception.

This is something that can only be condensed by a Rank 35 Domain Warrior when their life force is depleted.

Its effect is also singular: to directly raise a Rank 30 Domain Warrior by 1 Rank, making them Rank 31.

The Rank here has strict regulations; it can only turn a pseudo-Domain into a true Domain.

If you are Rank 30.9, you will also become Rank 31, not exceeding it.

Theoretically, the effect is best at exactly Rank 30, but a normal Rank 30 usually doesn't have Ascension-level Martial Skills. If one pursues a exclusive Domain, they can only wait for their Martial Skill to improve before consuming it.

And if one is unable to open an exclusive Domain, honestly, they wouldn't be able to obtain this resource.

It is most useful for those who Breakthrough their Martial Skill to the Ascension level as soon as they reach Rank 30, and it also requires the death of a Rank 35 Domain Warrior from old age.

It is a resource that is hard to come by, and the improvement is not significant; it only helps with the transition. Moreover, those qualified to use this resource cannot transition immediately; they need to Breakthrough their Martial Skill first.

This is why the Domain Relic is said to have a very low cost-performance ratio.

But fortunately, Chen Du happens to meet this requirement.

After taking the Domain Relic, Chen Du crushed the storage space, destroying all the resources inside.

For a Domain Warrior, he would not carry many things, because there are too few things that can help a Domain Warrior.

Most of a civilization's resources are in the main base. All civilizations' resources are primarily focused on cultivating the Rank of their descendants; only this way can they firmly secure their position.

And this Domain Relic was just exchanged by Sam today, originally intended for his son in the future, but he suddenly received an urgent mission and came out directly.

Sam's son has just reached Skysoaring, and he was paving the way in advance, but unexpectedly, Chen Du intercepted it.

As for other resources, they are neither good nor bad, but for a High Martial Civilization, they are certainly good. However, these resources are not the kind that can be used directly; they have a time effect.

And all of the Azure Sky Civilization's resources are marked. Unless Chen Du uses them directly, if they are taken back and noticed by the Azure Sky Civilization, it would be a disaster for the High Martial Civilization.

Chen Du therefore chose to destroy them.

Then, bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Chen Du pulverized Sam, and although he used his fists, each punch was actually the God-Slaying Sword Art.

He then consumed the Domain Relic, and immediately felt a warmth in his lower abdomen.

"Congratulations, Host, your Life Strength Rank has increased from Rank 30 to Rank 31."

"Very good, let me see what exclusive Domain ability I have gained."

Chen Du muttered to himself, looking at the panel in his mind.
