The ’World-Roaming Essence Fragment’ dropped by the Grand General is worth one million.

One million essence could buy the top-tier Epic+ Level weapon in the Book of Trade, or it could be used to purchase the lowest Legendary Grade armor, such as boots, shoulder guards, and wrist guards.

This might not seem like a lot, but keep in mind that this is just the essence gain from a boss at the end of the level and does not include items and equipment.

Lin Xun remembered that in the nightmare Chapter of the Blood Sun world, not counting the treasures obtained from chests and equipment plundered from enemies, the only top-grade equipment that dropped from monsters was the ’Brilliantly Colored Winged Boots’ dropped by the boss at the end of the level.

This was the drop rate in the nightmare Chapter. In normal Chapters, it was possible not to get a single piece of top-grade equipment even after completing an entire level.

Because of the low essence gain and drop rate in the Chapters, even if ordinary Apostles could advance to the next Chapter, they would usually stay at the current difficulty to accumulate enough essence to accumulate a full set of equipment before advancing to the next difficulty.

The equipment drop rate in Hell difficulty was exaggerated, including equipment such as the ’Demon Cleaver of Unohana’, ’Exorcism Charm’, ’Halo of Exorcising Evil and Removing Disaster’ dropped by the palace administrator, and ’Tachi: Evil Welcome Eight Scenes’ dropped by the Grand General.

And this didn’t even include the equipment gained from doing missions, such as the ’Dragon Sword Masamune’, ’Golden Roc Fierce Bird Claw’, and ’Harvest Sickle of Tiansui Blooming Rice’.

The total gains from a single Hell Chapter were at least ten times that of a normal Chapter, not to mention that Lin Xun explored every inch of the map and left no stone unturned.

Compared with clearing a dozen normal Chapters, although the experience gained was much less, the gains from clearing a Hell Chapter were definitely much greater than those from a normal Chapter.

Aside from the Shell level being less than that of ordinary elite Apostles, Lin Xun’s other aspects, whether it be the Shell quality, skills, or equipment, could crush Apostles of the same difficulty, and even defeating Apostles of higher difficulty was not impossible.

The Grand General also dropped a ’Complete Forging Crystal Block’, which could be used to enhance Legendary Grade equipment.

Adding this one, Lin Xun now had a total of seven in his pocket, which he could use to save on enhancement costs with the Shell of the ’Bladesmith’.

[’Direct Yan God Great Palace Yang Seal’ (Epic+ Level Accessory): This ancient square seal is one of the halves of a complete seal, the Yang Seal, which was one of the symbols used by the Grand General to command his troops. Combine it with the Yin Seal to form a complete seal]

[Equipping this accessory will enhance your summoned creatures/special summoned creatures by the enhancing effect of the Yin Seal, thereby slightly increasing their attack power.]

[You have ’Direct Yan God’s Great Dignitary Yin Seal’, do you want to merge the two accessories?]

The Yin Seal was an accessory obtained after killing the head of the Ogiwara family. The accessory belonged to the equipment category and its effects would only manifest when possessed by the Shell carrying this accessory.

The previous Yin Seal’s enhancement to summoned creatures was quite small and not very noticeable.

It was unknown what kind of effects would be obtained after merging the two accessories.

[You piece the two ancient square seals together, fitting together seamlessly to form a complete seal...]

[A brilliant light flashes!]

[You have obtained ’Direct Yan God Great Palace Square Seal’ (Legendary Grade Accessory)!]

[’Direct Yan God Great Palace Square Seal’ (Legendary Grade Accessory): A complete token for commanding troops, representing the highest command authority of the Sakura fall army.]

[Equipping this accessory, the effective time of the buff skills you apply to your summoned creatures/special summoned creatures will greatly increase!]

[And if the skills possessed by the summoned creatures/special summoned creatures include enhancing their own effects, the duration of these enhancing skills will also greatly increase!]

"Awesome!"

Without saying a word, Lin Xun moved the accessory to the palace governor’s equipment column.

[Your Shell ’Fire Worshiping Yiye Palace Lord’, has equipped ’Direct Yan God Great Palace Square Seal’ (Legendary Grade Accessory).]

[You have become stronger!]

The accessory not only prolongs the duration of the palace governor’s ’United Strength’ and ’Condensed Mire Nirvana’, but also extends the skill duration of Sly Ghost’s ’True Devil Body’ and Nine-Tailed Fox’s ’Nine-Tailed Sky Walk’.

Lin Xun used enhancing skills and the shikigami’s transformation skills during the second stage of the Grand General’s fight.

When the Grand General entered the third stage, these skills were about to run out.

’Condensed Mire Nirvana’ and the two shikigami’s ultimate abilities were quite powerful, but the only flaw was that their effective time was somewhat short. Saying that they were three-second men might be a bit exaggerated, but that was essentially the idea.

With this Legendary Grade accessory, there was no doubt that the shikigami’s burst duration would be greatly increased, adding a significant amount of combat power.

[’Blood of the Evil God’s Child’ (Legendary Grade Item): The blood of the ’Dragon God’s’ offspring that has been passed down from the God’s War. It is said that the ’Chaos Origin Dragon’s’ offspring ’Qiuniu’, ’Yazi’, ’Bihou’, and other gods also participated in the God’s War, and this drop of blood was left by one of the dragon god’s offspring, ’Chiwen’. However, the god’s war is so far in the past that the power of the Dragon Clan in the blood is almost gone.]

[Use this item, you will gain the buff status ’Chiwen’s Dragon Grace’, which greatly enhances the effect of water attribute spells for a certain period of time.]

[The hermit power deep in the bloodline of your Shell ’Inquisitive Primordial Hermit’ is gradually awakening, its dried-up bloodline is extremely thirsty and wants to devour all items with remnants of dragon bloodline to strengthen itself.]

[Do you want to devour ’Blood of the Evil God’s Child’ (Legendary Grade Item)?]
