Absolute Destiny Game

[Demon Star Blood Core (????)]

Equipment Effect 1: Blood Source Absorption. When you kill biological-type enemies, a strand of life essence will be automatically absorbed from their remnants and converted into "Blood Source Value," stored within the Blood Core. The stronger the creature, the more Blood Source Value it provides.

Equipment Effect 2: Limb Evolution. By consuming 1000 Blood Source Value points, one instance of limb evolution can be triggered. A random limb of the user (such as an arm, eye, wing, etc.) will be strengthened or altered, possibly granting new attack methods, perception abilities, or mobility means. (Warning: The process of limb evolution is irreversible and may result in permanent and uncontrollable shape changes, accompanied by unknown risks.)

Equipment Effect 3: Life Evolution. By consuming 5000 Blood Source Value points, one instance of life-level transition can be triggered. A powerful biological talent or trait will be randomly added to the user. (Warning: Life evolution will profoundly alter the user’s life form, posing extreme risks, leading to significant and permanent shape changes, possibly affecting the mind.)

Current Blood Source Value: 125/5000.

Equipment Effect 4: Demon Star Sensing. Holding this Blood Core will continuously be sensed and marked by the "Demon Star." An invisible connection exists between them.

Item Introduction: Originating from the mysterious "Demon Star," this creation bestows its core power upon its demon master. It guides the holder on a path of continuous "evolution" through devouring and fusion. It’s said that the endpoint of this evolution surpasses the limit of ordinary life, touching the secret of "Ascension." This is the shortcut to power and the abyss of alienation. It’s the ultimate goal of the demon clan, tirelessly pursued, and also the root of their tragedy.

"Ascension?" Xiao Jie’s gaze fixed on these two words in the item introduction, his heart stirring, "Is this thing some kind of alternative ascension item?" But upon examining its effects, with random evolution and shape distortion, his interest immediately diminished.

"It’s not hard to imagine that this ’evolution’ based on demon star power likely develops towards a hideous, twisted, non-human form—becoming handsome is absolutely impossible." Xiao Jie smirked, "If those who pursue ultimate power and don’t care about appearance were to get this, they might gamble their looks and sanity on it, and maybe even evolve some heaven-defying ability. But for me, it’s nothing but a tasteless chicken rib."

However, this Blood Core’s item category shows as "????," similar to how his Immortal blood volume is displayed, which made him ponder. "The Immortal’s blood volume cannot be systematized into data, so it shows as question marks. This Demon Star Blood Core does the same... Could it be that the ’Demon Star’ granting this Blood Core has a nature akin to an Immortal, or at least is something the system can’t fully data-tize?" This discovery made him even more curious about the origins of the "Demon Star."

Carefully storing the Demon Star Blood Core, Xiao Jie reviewed this journey’s gains, feeling quite satisfied. A Legendary helmet (even though he didn’t intend to wear it), a forbidden secret skill, a rare Dragon Pearl, and an unknown peculiar item possibly related to the "Demon Star" essence. The World Boss’s drop certainly didn’t disappoint.

"Next target!" Without delay, Xiao Jie opened the map again, his gaze sweeping over the remaining six sinister icons. He didn’t deliberately choose, but rather by proximity, quickly locking onto the one nearest to King Mingyuan’s lair—Fierce Fang Sky Slayer.

"Fierce Fang Sky Slayer...the name is certainly imposing." Xiao Jie recalled the official introduction that said this guy was the leader of the Violent Teeth Clan, purely a physical demon.

Unlike King Mingyuan, who occupies a city, Fierce Fang Sky Slayer’s lair is deep in a primeval forest called the "Howling Wind Forest Sea." Riding a cloud, Xiao Jie looked down to see a vast sea of trees, with towering ancient trees, but amid all that green, one area stood out—large trees lay fallen and broken in a radial pattern, as if repeatedly trampled and charged by some giant creature. The forest clearing was littered with numerous massive, fully gnawed Beast skeletons, the air heavy with the stench of blood and violence.

And within the gaps of the forest canopy, many fierce demons could be seen wandering around, likely the minion mobs under Fierce Fang Sky Slayer. No need for a careful search as the pervasive demon aura and the ravaged forest, like beacons in the dark, clearly pointed to the target’s location.

Concealing his presence within the clouds, Xiao Jie pondered whether to use the Yang Flame Heavenly Fire of the Golden Crow Dharma Form or try out the new Giant Kunkun’s Dharma Aspect when suddenly his mind sensed something, letting out a light "huh."

"Unexpectedly, there are ’competitors’?"

His Immortal Sense sharply detected, in the lower airspace, behind a thick cloud, three concealed presences.

Immortal Law—Heavenly Vision!

His eyes flickering with light, his gaze penetrated the clouds, immediately seeing the appearances of the three.

One of them, with a tiger’s head and a human body, was burly and surrounded by a faint demonic wind. Xiao Jie had met him once—No-class Old Cat (Great Demon Master) Level 44.

The second was a bald monk with knotted muscles and a shining polished head, shirtless, wearing red shorts—One Punch Man (Venerable Vajra) Level 45.

And the last one was an old acquaintance—Divine Calculation Sky Demon (Great Immortal Mage) Level 43.

"What are these three up to, sneaking around here?" Xiao Jie wondered, "Are they planning to target Fierce Fang Sky Slayer as well?" If so, he had to admire their courage. He had personally verified the strength of a World Boss, something not easily challenged by ordinary player teams. Even as strong as he was now, soloing it required some effort. Where did these three ’ordinary’ players get such confidence?
