Calamity Messenger

Chapter 236 - 188: Disaster Stone

After experiencing three battles in the Corpse Bone Forest, Yan Qing had fully understood the difficulty of acquiring Celestial Calamity Karmic Force.

Not to mention how challenging it was to fight beyond one’s level, simply finding the ’correct method’ to release the Eternal Sinner was enough to make Yan Qing’s head spin. Like the Three Mountain Secret Realm, Yan Qing had attempted it nearly a hundred times, testing various tokens in the process, but had never activated the Karmic Force bar.

In the end, the Karmic Force bar mechanism was too ambiguous. Take the Corpse Bone Forest as an example, does it require a Buddhist Sect token, or a token related to Buddhist tales, or perhaps a token from killing members of the Buddhist Sect? Nobody knew, but somehow the Seven-Step Chant fit by coincidence.

If it were before transmigration, there would certainly be countless players analyzing strategies on forums. But in this era where prestigious families jealously guard their secrets and high-level messengers are scarce, Yan Qing could only rely on intelligence and luck to slowly test ways to obtain Celestial Calamity Karmic Force.

The reason Yan Qing hesitated in the third class transition of the Rabbit Heroine was because the Life-taking Messenger focuses on PvP, making it less effective in Secret Realm strategies, which was Yan Qing’s main development direction.

And this was only the difficulty of acquiring Celestial Calamity Karmic Force, not to mention the consequences afterward.

Therefore, when Yan Qing discovered Si Wuxie’s Celestial Relic, he decided to seize it, even if it meant using the Bingzi Pepper Forest, transitioning to Life-taking Messenger, absorbing Celestial Spirits and Earthly Fiends, and then turning the three Great Guardians into minced meat!

As for why Prajna wanted it too, Yan Qing quickly understood: Prajna fought the Corpse King, which was a challenge beyond level 10 BOSS. Unlike the Rabbit Heroine with only 13% of battle contribution, Prajna did most of the Karmic Force bar; if Yan Qing guessed it right, he most likely surpassed the 50% doubling line and absorbed 2 points of Celestial Calamity Karmic Force!

But why would the fierce-faced monk recognize the importance of Celestial Calamity Karmic Force? Did absorbing it immediately impart milestone-related knowledge? Yan Qing wasn’t sure, as the one absorbing the Celestial Calamity Karmic Force was a small account, he just benefited from the milestone sharing on the main account.

Everyone’s gaze swung between the Rabbit Heroine and Prajna, with Pharmacist’s Wish first standing by the Rabbit Heroine’s side, gripping the Soul-Breaking Spear resolutely with no room for negotiation.

Beiyou’s expression was subtle, while Blood Phase’s eyebrows twitched, showing a look of watching a drama: "What kind of treasure is it that causes such a scramble between you two? I’ve traveled the world as Zhong Shu for many years, yet I can’t recognize this treasure’s origin."

"Enough," Prajna chanted a Buddhist mantra: "I was the one overly attached; other treasures are not bad either, so why make Donor Rabbit an enemy? But given this, Donor Rabbit shouldn’t choose anymore, right?"

Pharmacist’s Wish immediately asked: "If you take this stone, can my sister take two items?"

Si Wuxie’s legacy contains six items, even if distributed one per person, there would still be some left, so someone could take more. Although the system regarded the Rabbit Heroine’s contribution as only 13%, everyone present knew she was crucial in clearing the challenge and fully entitled to take two pieces of loot.

"Prajna makes promises on his own; we don’t agree to it," Blood Phase immediately responded: "In my view, those who pick first should only take one item, and those who pick last should take two."

"Well said, let me be the one to suffer the final choice then," Beiyou saw through Blood Phase’s intention instantly.

Pharmacist’s Wish spoke slowly: "Without my sister, how could you have had the chance to unlock Si Wuxie’s legacy? Without her using the Return Order, how could you withstand the Corpse King’s suicidal strike? She should choose first, then each of us takes one item, and lastly, she takes the unchosen one!"

"That’s reasonable. The greater the contribution, the greater the reward should be," Blood Phase clapped lightly, eyes showing a fierce light: "But haven’t we let you stay at Shu Dao Mountain out of our mercy? According to your logic, the three of us contributed the most, so each of us should get two out of the six treasures!"

He paused, then added: "Previously, I swore to my younger brother that during your assistance in attacking the Secret Realm, I wouldn’t act against you. Now that the Corpse King is dead and the legacy is unlocked, avenging my brother is justifiable! Beiyou, Prajna, will you help me!?"

Beiyou twirled his dirty hair lazily with his fingers and said: "Star Rain Heroine indeed contributed a lot, but I’ve spent seven years at Shu Dao Mountain, killed for seven years, and painted for seven years, so I also want compensation."

Prajna chanted a Buddhist mantra, shaking his head: "Why not take a step back? Since Donor Rabbit already has a desired treasure, you two should also leave Shu Dao Mountain, this place of strife. The Return Order has been used once; why waste it again?"

In the face of Foundation Establishment inheritance, the past friendliness, patience, and compromise of the three Great Guardians vanished, revealing their ruthless, malicious, and vicious demonic nature.

Confronting the threats from the three Great Guardians, Pharmacist’s Wish drew a line on the ground with the Soul-Breaking Spear, eyes sharp and unwavering: "Do you really think you’ve won? You think you can easily drive us away?"

"Perhaps not that easy," Blood Phase grinned maniacally: "But what’s a bit of injury? I’ve long wanted to teach you two a lesson! I—"

Suddenly, Rabbit Heroine took a step forward, causing Blood Phase to instantly move three steps away, with Beiyou and Prajna focusing intently on her. Seeing their serious expressions, one might have thought the Corpse King had risen again.

"We want this stone and the Celestial Spirits; you can divide the rest," Rabbit Heroine calmly stated: "If you’re unwilling, then go ahead and die."
