Chapter 45 Trial Rewards
In addition, Chen Yao also found an introduction to the "Mysterious Heaven Trial Space" beneath his feet in the information before him.
After the bloody war with the alien civilization, a severely injured elder of the Xuan Tian Sect, who was at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, managed to escape to this remote star system with a portion of the sect's resources.
In order to completely escape the pursuit of the alien race, he set up a level four Xuan Tian Zhai Xing array outside this Heng star system, completely severing all connections between this level three Heng star system and the outside world.
That's right. Millions of years ago, the Heng system we are standing on was a level 3 Heng system. Not only was the energy level of the main star of the system as high as level 3, but the planet Taina under our feet was also a level 3 life-bearing planet at that time.
However, in order to ensure that the Xuan Tian Zhe Xing Grand Array could be maintained for a long time, the Nascent Soul Peak Elder used a sect-protecting treasure he brought from the sect. This treasure could continuously absorb external energy on its own to maintain the energy supply of the Xuan Tian Zhe Xing Grand Array.
Because of this, over millions of years, under its continuous devouring, the third-level stars and Taina Star of the star system not only showed no signs of advancement, but also gradually weakened due to the loss of their original energy. Now, their energy levels have fallen to zero, and they can no longer maintain the continuous operation of the Xuan Tian Zhe Xing Grand Array. That is why the "accidental" deployment of the Sky Patrol was made.
Knowing these things, many of my previous doubts can finally be explained.
Turning his gaze away, Chen Yao, as if remembering something, opened the attribute panel of the [Miracle Card Mother Pool].
"The Mystery of Taina (Part Two): Omitted (Completed)"
Sure enough, as he discovered this information, the quest "The Mystery of Taina" was quietly completed.
After clicking submit, the third task will be refreshed.
"Completion (Chain - End): Now that you know the secrets of a long past, please complete all challenges in the 'Mysterious Heaven Trial Space' and continue steadfastly onward with the Mysterious Heaven's Wish. Upon completion, you will receive the Mysterious Heaven Legacy + a super deck-building recipe."
"A super deck recipe?"
Chen Yao exclaimed in surprise. He was not surprised at all about the Xuan Tian legacy. This trial space was right here, and the Xuan Tian foundation left inside was undeniable. However, the second super card combination recipe truly surprised him.
He has had the Miracle Card Pool component for over a decade, and to this day he still has no idea what the "Deck Slot" feature of this wonder looks like or what its effects are.
Now, he finally sees hope.
"Have you completed all the challenges in the Xuan Tian Trial Space? Then let's begin..."
Despite his overflowing ambition, Chen Yao's actual actions were quite the opposite.
Instead of rushing to challenge the second round of trials, he took out the low-grade planetary origin crystals he had obtained from various Taina tribes and then began a large-scale enhancement of the Sky Patrol.
[Strong Magnetic Pulse Shield] lv10→lv20
[Pulse Silent Cannon] lv10→lv20
[Laser Cannon] lv10→lv20
All three white components were upgraded to level 20, which depleted the batch of low-grade planetary origin crystals he had just accumulated. However, Chen Yao did not feel any heartache about it.
As long as we can get that super card deck recipe, including the sect's foundation of the former Xuantian Sect, what do a few low-grade planetary origin crystals matter?
"I choose to continue to the second round!"
With nearly fifty minutes left before his return, he is confident of completing the next challenge.
As he confirmed it, the deep mist around him began to churn violently again, and the next second, hundreds of black figures exuding the aura of a near-first-tier being surged out from it.
This time, it's no longer a paper tiger.
They were humanoid puppets, each over ten feet tall and entirely black, their bodies forged from special ironwood, with densely packed runes faintly visible on their surfaces.
They wielded heavy wooden greatswords, and with each step they took, a dull rumble echoed through the void.
The aura of a near-first-tier cultivator was overwhelming.
Chen Yao's pupils contracted slightly, and he instantly made a judgment—the defensive and offensive power of this batch of wooden puppets was at least five times that of the previous paper tigers.
"Well done!"
Without flinching, he quickly turned his attention to the Sky Patrol and took the lead in action.
The [Particle Concentration Cannon] fired first, its dark blue particle beam precisely striking the chest of the wooden puppet at the very front.
The beam of light exploded into a dazzling energy blast on the ironwood body, then the puppet's chest was completely pierced, and its forward movement came to an abrupt halt.
But that was all. After blasting the ironwood puppet to death, the power of the blue beam had dissipated by more than half. Although it still hit the second ironwood puppet quickly, it only severely injured it and failed to achieve a double kill, let alone blast six or seven paper tigers to death in one blow like before.
"Five times the defense... it's really not bad."
Chen Yao frowned slightly, but his hands did not stop moving in the slightest.
The two white secondary cannons fired simultaneously, with the laser cannon's laser beams and the pulse silencer's interference pulse waves sweeping across the group of wooden golems, creating energy storms.
However, these ironwood golems were far more resistant to bombardment than expected. Even when hit by the secondary guns in succession, their speed was only slightly slowed down. It would take at least a few more rounds of strafing to completely destroy them.
It was only thanks to Chen Yao's prior enhancement of the two components to level 20 that the damage was reduced; otherwise, the damage would have been even lower.
Seeing this, he gritted his teeth, and with a thought, the hatch of the Sky Patrol was half-opened, and two rock guardian terracotta warriors that had just cooled down jumped out of the hatch.
Although the terracotta warriors' combat power is somewhat weak, their enhancement to the second tier still gives them an absolute advantage against puppets that are only at the quasi-first tier. While they may not be able to directly change the course of the battle, they can certainly serve as meat shields to relieve flank pressure on the Sky Patrol.
Two rock guardian terracotta warriors charged straight to the left side of the Sky Patrol, and soon collided with more than thirty ironwood golems that had surrounded them. Stone axes and ironwood giant swords clashed, producing a piercing roar.
The rock guardians were not weak, but the number of wooden golems was too overwhelming. Just as one rock guardian stopped three ironwood golems, four more rushed in from the side. Two fists could not fight four hands.
However, this was enough. Inside the main control room of the warship, Chen Yao was on edge, controlling the three ship cannons to keep firing. With one side less of the threat, the ship cannon fire could be concentrated on the other three sides, which undoubtedly increased the frequency of the cannon fire. In the following ten minutes, the number of ironwood puppets destroyed on the other three sides increased significantly.
At a certain moment, the slot containing the [Rock Guardian Terracotta Warrior] component suddenly flashed, a change that immediately made Chen Yao's expression change.
Two rock guardian terracotta warriors responsible for sharing the pressure from the sides have already fallen to the siege of a large number of ironwood golems. The two rock guardians were originally supporting each other and were putting up a difficult fight. Now that one of them has fallen, how long can the second one hold out?
