Chapter 533 - 518: Bound by Shared Fate
The Desolate Curse, an emperor-level curse capable of killing an Emperor Strong Person, its curse damage is a hundred times that of the Evil Blood Divine Son’s Evil Blood Curse.
The sudden Desolate Curse violently plundered Li Cunxu’s life force, and in just a moment, more than half of Li Cunxu’s life force was drained, leaving his muscles deflated like a punctured balloon.
Li Cunxu slimmed down at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Using two idioms to describe it: thin as a rake, skin and bones.
Li Cunxu couldn’t help but be surprised. This curse was somewhat too strong. He had a Curse Heavenly Heart, and it was even fused with the Resentment Divine Core. His curse resistance was already sky-high. It could be said that, apart from the old guild master, no one at the Emperor Peak who specialized in curses had a higher curse resistance than him.
Yet he still couldn’t fend off this curse.
Seeing that Li Cunxu was about to be killed by the Desolate Curse, the Curse Heavenly Heart became angry, thinking, "In my domain, how dare you be so reckless?"
The Curse Heavenly Heart quickly subdued the Desolate Curse.
However, the life force plundered from Li Cunxu by the Desolate Curse was forever gone.
After pondering for just a moment, Li Cunxu replaced the Evil Dragon Curse of the Immortal Star Dragon, which was under the Curse Heavenly Heart’s control, with the Desolate Curse.
After all, with this Desolate Curse, Li Cunxu had the qualifications to kill an emperor. Especially when combined with Xiaoruan’s Causality Law, it was easy to stealthily kill an emperor.
Of course, there were downsides too. Without the Evil Dragon Curse of the Immortal Star Dragon, the defensive power of Li Cunxu’s main body would decrease somewhat. However, it didn’t matter, as the defense field of the Mechanical Pupil was sufficient.
When the owner of a Space Ring dies, the mental imprint becomes exceptionally easy to remove. Li Cunxu spent some effort to obliterate the remaining mental imprint, and the Space Ring completely became Li Cunxu’s possession.
Opening the Space Ring, he was shocked by the resources inside.
There were so many, a massive pile of Monarch Level and Emperor Level resources, and there were seventeen Life Source Fruits inside.
"Wealthy enough to rival nations, rivaling several dozen nations!"
Besides, Li Cunxu also found something more valuable than the Life Source Fruits.
The Replication Mirror, one of the world’s unique forty-nine Emperor’s Tools, the Emperor’s Tool: Replication Mirror.
The Replication Mirror, it can replicate resources, pets, items... it can replicate everything. As long as there is enough Power of Creation, it can even replicate Emperor’s Tools.
The Emperor’s Tool: Twin Bell, this Emperor’s Tool is very special. It’s not a problem for it to defeat a group of emperors.
And the reason it can defeat a group of emperors is that it consists of two highly compatible Emperor’s Tools, with one of the bells being a replicated Emperor’s Tool from the Replication Mirror.
Li Cunxu looked at the Replication Mirror, somewhat disappointed. There was no accumulated Power of Creation inside the Replication Mirror.
The Replication Mirror requires Power of Creation to function, which means that the Replication Mirror in his hand now can only be looked at, not used.
There are three channels to obtain Power of Creation and use the Replication Mirror.
But no matter which one, they’re all quite troublesome.
The first method is self-collection.
The Replication Mirror connects to chaos, and it can constantly absorb Power of Creation from chaos. However, this process is long and time-consuming. By accumulating Power of Creation in this way, it would take a million years to accumulate enough to replicate an Emperor’s Tool.
"A million years? It’s hard to say if the Divine Beast World will even exist that long."
"By the way, where was the Power of Creation that the Replication Mirror accumulated before used?"
Li Cunxu thought of the seventeen Life Source Fruits, "Could it be that the Elf Queen used it to replicate them? If so, that’s simply a waste of Power of Creation."
The Replication Mirror’s replication comes with a loss of double the Power of Creation.
The "Emperor’s Tool Record" documents an emperor using the Replication Mirror to replicate a Power of Creation Stone, using twice the Power of Creation as contained in the Power of Creation Stone itself.
The second option is to acquire treasures and resources containing Power of Creation, such as the Power of Creation Stone... to charge the Replication Mirror.
However, within nature, resources of the Power of Creation type are too few, even fewer than the total number of ninth-grade items.
The third option is the Water of Creation.
When a creature undergoes a tribulation successfully, the heavens grant them Water of Creation, and the Power of Creation within this Water of Creation can be used to charge the Replication Mirror.
But this method is not worth considering, where would you find so many beasts breaking through tribulations to snatch their Water of Creation from?
Don’t be fooled by how quickly Li Cunxu’s pets break through, but in reality, in the actual Divine Beast World, the breakthrough speed of pets is very slow.
For wild pets to break through to Monarch Level, it takes an average time of three thousand years.
Even for pets cultivated with Beast Master’s blood essence, the average time for a pet to break through to Monarch Level normally takes over five hundred years.
Can’t pets quickly grow by absorbing others’ laws?
They can, but the risk is high. Almost no Monarch Level pets do this.
The first reason is that absorbing others’ laws is troublesome. To absorb someone else’s laws, you need corresponding attribute laws. Not every pet can absorb any law like Xiaoruan with the Myriad Phenomena Law.
The second reason is that other Monarch Level pets aren’t fools, ready for you to kill them and take their laws. They’ll also run away.
The third is that they band together for warmth. Weaker Monarch Level pets know that there’s a stronger monarch pet hunting other monarch pets to obtain others’ laws, and weaker Monarch Level pets will band together to deal with it.
The fourth is that battles are risky. In fights, you don’t necessarily win every time. If someone else wins, then the laws you obtained before all end up as someone’s wedding dress.
Because of this, Monarch Level pets advocate for slow cultivation. Though it’s not fast, it is safer. Especially as pets grow stronger and older, they become more cautious.
In the Elf Queen’s ring, Li Cunxu found a diary written by the Queen.
The contents of the diary explained where the Power of Creation in the Replication Mirror was used and the death of the Elf Queen.
It turned out the Tree of Life was being eroded by a peculiar Desolate Power, and the closely connected Elf Queen was also affected. If not resolved, she would ultimately be eroded by the Desolate Power and transformed into a Desolate Elf. To avoid this fate, she devised a plan.
The Elf Queen thought of one solution: using the Replication Mirror to replicate herself, then transfer the polluted part onto the replicated self.
The Elf Queen’s plan worked well and succeeded.
The erosion of the Desolate Power was perfectly borne by the replicated self.
The Elf Queen’s replicated self became the Queen of Desolation.
Although not fully replicated, initially only at Monarch Level 5, the replicated self eroded by the Desolate Power had extremely high potential, breaking through to Emperor Level 1 in just a mere fifteen hundred years.
The Elf Queen sensed that the Queen of Desolation had the potential to break through to Emperor Nine. To prevent the Queen of Desolation from becoming too strong to suppress later, she took precautions.
To balance the Queen of Desolation, the Elf Queen forced her to sign a shared destiny contract.
Shared destiny, live and die together.
If in the future, the Queen of Desolation became strong enough to kill the Elf Queen, the shared destiny contract would take effect, restricting the Queen of Desolation.
