Born Sacred

[Detected that you already possess the title Pioneer. The titles have been automatically synthesized, and your Pioneer title has evolved]

Noah’s heart tightened.

A breakthrough in rank would bring an enormous increase in strength.

This time, the Savage Bloodline showed no reaction. Instead, it was the Innate Dao Body that responded.

Endless Dao power surged in from the outside world. Noah seemed to transform into a massive funnel, drawing in countless streams of energy.

A gigantic vortex formed above Noah’s head, growing larger and larger—tens of kilometers, then hundreds of kilometers wide.

No matter where they were, everyone could see the unbelievably enormous vortex.

The boundless Dao power poured into his body, rapidly strengthening Noah’s physique. At the same time, even more Dao power flooded into his mind, enhancing his spirit.

"Stop... stop for me!"

Under the overwhelming assault of Dao power, Noah finally regained clarity and immediately severed his body’s absorption of the external Dao power.

The difference between physique transformation and bloodline transformation was clear.

Bloodline power originated from within the body itself, making it impossible for Noah to stop.

However, physique transformation relied on absorbing external Dao power, which gave Noah the opportunity to control it.

Of course, he could not suppress it for too long, as it was a primal need of his body.

Right now, Noah did not want to undergo physique transformation. He still had more important matters to deal with.

[Your Constitution has exceeded ten million]

[Your rank has advanced to 5th-Order expert]

[You have awakened the inherent skill: Extraordinary Lifeform]

"Extraordinary Lifeform?"

Noah was stunned. He had not expected to awaken a new inherent skill upon reaching the 5th Order.

However, now was not the time to inspect this new ability. If he missed the nine 4th-Order designated rewards in his possession, they would go to waste.

"Use temporary authority: Designated Reward."

Noah spoke immediately.

A light screen appeared before him, and Noah’s gaze instantly moved toward the top section, where a purple glow shone brightly.

"Why isn’t it Epic?"

Noah was stunned.

Logically speaking, since two 6th-Order existences had appeared within this Instance, the drop quality of the Instance should have been elevated to the Epic tier.

In other words, Epic-grade rewards should definitely have appeared in the drop list.

The Demon-Infested World Instance had worked the same way. Although it was only a 3rd-Order Instance, the presence of a large number of 4th-Order existences within it had raised the drop quality to Perfect Grade. As a result, whenever Noah used a designated reward there, Perfect-grade items would always appear.

"Could it be because there were only two 6th-Order existences?" Noah thought of a possibility.

The Demon-Infested World Instance had contained many 4th-Order beings, unlike the Hundred Year Agreement Instance, which only possessed two 6th-Order existences.

"So that’s how it is. For Epic-grade rewards to definitely appear in the drop list, there must be a sufficient number of 6th-Order existences."

"It’s fine. I still have a chance."

Noah was not disappointed.

He had extremely high expectations for the rewards from this Instance.

Because of the appearance of 6th-Order existences, Epic-grade rewards now had a chance to appear in the drop list. Furthermore, thanks to the Refinement Authority, there was also a possibility of increasing the quality of Instance rewards by an additional tier.

In other words, if he were lucky enough, Noah might even obtain Legendary-grade items.

"Legendary..."

Noah’s eyes lit up.

Normally, such items could only appear in 8th-Order or 9th-Order Instances. To unlock those levels of Instances, the Blue Star Civilization itself would need to advance to Level 3 or even Level 4 Civilization.

Of course, even if Noah were fortunate enough to randomly obtain a Legendary-grade item, the Instance itself still needed the proper foundation to produce one.

Did the Hundred Year Agreement Instance possess that foundation?

Noah could answer with certainty.

No.

Still, that was not a major issue. If the Instance lacked the foundation to produce true Legendary items, they would instead be replaced with general Legendary-grade items.

Even generic Legendary items were incomparably precious, and Noah certainly would not reject them.

"Continue."

Noah used the second designated reward.

A golden light instantly appeared at the top of the drop list.

"Epic!"

Noah immediately focused his gaze on it.

The name of the Epic-grade item was:

[Medium Spirit Vein]

"Good."

"I truly didn’t expect this to appear."

Noah was both surprised and delighted, immediately selecting the Medium Spirit Vein without hesitation.

The fact that a Medium Spirit Vein was classified as Epic-grade indicated that the Hundred Year Agreement Instance indeed possessed the foundation necessary to nurture 6th-Order existences.

If the Demon Lord had never descended upon this world, then through enough time and development, this world would eventually have produced 6th-Order existences on its own, and likely more than one.

The third, fourth, and fifth designated rewards did not produce any golden light.

"The sixth time... it should appear now, right?"
