Born Sacred

Chapter 124: Epic Level, Nine Provinces Cauldron!!

After advancing to Three-order, the potential of the Perfect-grade Savage Bloodline was stimulated. The warm currents flowing within him were all Bloodline Power.

Noah didn’t know how much his attributes had increased, nor did he have time to check. After the intense changes within his body subsided slightly, he unhesitatingly chose to use the temporary authority: Designated Reward.

This authority could only be used within the instance after clearing it. Once he left the instance, it could not be used.

After clearing an instance, one could stay in it for a maximum of ten minutes. Noah didn’t want to miss this rare opportunity.

Designated Reward is only effective for instances of Three-order and below. Logically speaking, using it in a Three-order instance would maximize the benefit.

Mythical Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff was a Tier 2 instance, so it shouldn’t have been the optimal choice.

However, the rewards from Advancement Instances have always been the best, and this instance was also of Extreme difficulty. Furthermore, a Four-order strong enemy appeared in the instance, which elevated the instance rewards by a level.

The additional rewards for Extreme difficulty were three Perfect-grade items.

Noah’s authority, Refinement, gave him a chance to obtain higher quality instance rewards. Moreover, given the background and power level of this world, Noah wasn’t worried that there wouldn’t be higher quality rewards.

Level 5 Refinement was already worth gambling on.

"Use temporary authority: Specify Reward."

As Noah made his decision, a light screen suddenly appeared in front of him, densely packed with items that could be dropped in this instance dungeon.

The sheer number was dazzling, making it impossible to know which one to choose.

Noah didn’t bother with the quantity, focusing on quality first.

He found that the quality of these items in the drop list was immediately obvious.

Ordinary quality was white, Excellent quality was green, Rare quality was blue, Perfect quality was purple...

According to this standard, Noah immediately noticed that these items were arranged from top to bottom according to quality.

He directly skipped the white, green, and blue at the bottom, paused his gaze on the purple, then looked towards the very top. Instantly, a golden hue entered his vision, and it was the only one.

"Gold, Epic quality."

Noah’s breathing suddenly hitched, and his eyes revealed wild joy.

He won the gamble.

Lv5 Refinement was powerful enough, and his luck was good enough; higher quality items really appeared.

Even though there were dozens of purple lights representing Perfect quality in the drop list, Noah didn’t spare them another glance. He made his decision without hesitation.

Perfect quality normally only appeared in Four or Five-Order Instance Dungeons. For Noah, who was only Three-order, it was also beyond reach, but compared to Epic quality, it was nothing.

This was Epic quality! Under normal circumstances, it would only drop in Six or 7th-Order Instance Dungeons.

In a Tier 2 Instance Dungeon, its drop rate was undoubtedly an infinitely minuscule one in billions, basically impossible to obtain. Fortunately, Noah had the temporary authority for a hundred percent drop rate.

[You used temporary authority: Specify Reward (Three-order)]

[This authority disappeared, you obtained Epic Special Item - Nine Provinces Cauldron.]

"Nine Provinces Cauldron?"

Noah was violently shaken and quickly checked its specific attributes.

[Nine Provinces Cauldron]

[Quality: Epic]

[Type: Special Item]

[A national treasure symbolizing unity and prosperity, representing supreme royal authority. It can suppress national destiny, reduce the probability of disasters, and protect the safety of the common people.]

"Holy crap."

Noah’s eyes lit up. As expected of an Epic item, just the description sounded incredibly grand. Suppressing national destiny was mentioned! He just didn’t know how it specifically manifested. He figured he would have to wait until he left and placed it somewhere to see.

Since it was Epic quality, it couldn’t possibly disappoint him.

Although it wasn’t an item that could directly increase his personal strength, Noah wasn’t disappointed either.

Special items and skills had always been the most valuable instance dungeon rewards. And for Noah, the former was even more valuable, as he could upgrade skills through his Talent.

Having resolved the temporary authority issue, Noah checked the time; there were still three minutes left.

So, he immediately checked his most important Talent.

[Talent: Born Sacred (EX)]

[Effect One: Undying and Unkillable (No means can completely kill you. After death, you can choose to revive on the spot or revive in a safe place. After reviving, you will temporarily enter an Absolute Defense state.)]

[Effect Two: Grow Stronger by Breathing (As long as you breathe, you can become stronger in all aspects and perfectly control it. The higher your order, the greater the amplification.)]

[Effect Three: Insight (All things in the world have nowhere to hide.)]

"Hiss~"

Noah took a sharp breath.

The Talent changes were huge.

The first Talent effect: Undying and Unkillable. Now, after reviving, not only are injuries fully healed and peak state restored, but an Absolute Defense state is also added.

Don’t think that just because you can revive infinitely, Absolute Defense is useless.

Facing someone far stronger than yourself, infinite revival is useless. You simply can’t wear them down. Reviving on the spot would just lead to being killed repeatedly. Just like Lazarus’s halberd light, before its power dissipated, Noah couldn’t revive on the spot and could only choose to revive in a safe place, which was equivalent to escaping.

With the Absolute Defense state, you don’t have to worry about being killed repeatedly.

Noah also thought of other possibilities.

Absolute Defense means others can’t harm you, and you, naturally, can’t harm yourself either. Otherwise, how could it be called absolute?

In that case, wouldn’t using the Destruction state under Absolute Defense have no pressure at all?

Even Mountain River Collapse could be used simultaneously.

After all, the difficulty with Destruction Mountain River Collapse lies in needing to expend a large amount of mental energy for precise control. Otherwise, that terrifying power would instantly shatter oneself. However, under Absolute Defense, there’s no need to worry about backlash; you can just go all out.

It’s equivalent to the skill cooldown being greatly shortened.

He just didn’t know how long this Absolute Defense state would last. Since it was temporary, there must be a time limit. However, unless Noah died once now, he wouldn’t be able to know the specific duration.

The second Talent effect: Grow Stronger by Breathing. The description had no changes.

But Noah quickly and pleasantly discovered that the attributes he gained per minute had become 10 points.

You know, at Tier 2, the attributes gained per minute were only 1 point.

It instantly increased tenfold.

Based on previous amplitude, the speed of getting stronger at Three-order would definitely not be this exaggerated. At most, it would be around 2 or 3 points per minute. Clearly, this was the improvement brought by the Talent sublimation, which was indeed enormous.
