Did I Create a Treasure Tool?

Luo Jun stood atop the Parami Cathedral, gazing into the depths of the desert, somewhat worried about his Master's safety.

He wanted to drive back to pick up his grandfather, but then he remembered his Master's instructions before he left.

At that time, Old Yuan called him aside, set up Soundproof Barrier, and the first thing he told him was, "After you leave, don't think about coming back for me."

Luo Jun, of course, objected. "Master, I know you're kind-hearted and don't want to abandon these people... but even if I come back, towing the Armored Vehicle in a car would be faster than this..."

"That's not the issue..." Old Yuan shook his head. "Have you considered this: if Mosayus really was left behind by Dias to destroy Amgilla, then its primary target would naturally Karruth! This monster must be extremely sensitive to Karruth's aura!"

"You've been baptized by the gems, undergoing a complete transformation, but you still retain a trace of Karruth's essence. If Mosayus notices this, it might drive that monster mad!"

Luo Jun was slightly taken aback; he hadn't really considered this situation.

To improve quality...

"Eliminate Menehses's Remnant Soul!"

Luo Jun's curiosity was piqued, and he attempted to analyze this power, but its strength was considerable, and with his current level of energy, it was difficult to subdue it. Thus, the aura of Karruth remained...

Summon the Dice of Heavenly Secrets and select an event.

In other words, even if the breakthrough fails, Luo Jun is confident that he can escape with his life. Although that may lead to other consequences, it is at least not a certain death situation. The Severity Coefficient may be about ten times greater, but it should definitely not be twelve times greater.

Luo Jun was oblivious to the commotion among the knights below; his entire focus was on controlling his internal energy...

At first, Luo Jun didn't pay attention, thinking that the power had been broken down and assimilated in his battle with the gem, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"Eliminate Karruth's Remnant Soul!"

"That night?" everyone exclaimed in surprise, "He was cultivating?"

This possibility cannot be ruled out!

If that's the case, things are actually simpler. There's no need to worry about Karruth's resurgence. This last emperor might not have been at his Peak in life, so how strong could his soul be? No wonder Master said there's no need to worry!

Luo Jun calmed himself down, sat at the top of the church, and began to regulate his Inner Breath to adjust his state.

A factor of twelve...

With a flash of light, the crystal vanished!

Mandatory Event? Is it guaranteed to succeed? Or is it guaranteed to fail?

Guaranteed success seems unrealistic, so does that mean it's impossible? Why? Is it beyond my capabilities?

Or is it...?

Why is this happening? Luo Jun looked at his right hand, where a faint burning sensation still lingered...

"So, get away from here as soon as possible, preferably the way you came into this world, so that this monster doesn't see you!"

As expected, there's a dice bonus; it's practically guaranteed to work!

"It's not that easy..." Old Yuan shook his head. "Even the faintest aura of Deity still holds its status... You can try to dissolve it, and perhaps even glean some useful information from it. But this is not a task that can be accomplished overnight. Until then, staying as far away from Mosayus as possible is the right choice."

"There's still a lingering scent..." Luo Jun frowned. "What if I remove it?"

In their eyes, the church spire shone with a dazzling light, as if a sun were shining on the church!

"What is that!" The Holy Knight all raised their weapons and aimed them at the sky, when a screeching sound rang out.

"What's all the panic about!"

Feeling that the power had lost its dominance and began to circulate within his body along with the vital energy, Luo Jun was somewhat disappointed.

After several recent breakthroughs, Luo Jun has gained a deeper understanding of the intelligence of the dice. As his Root Bone grows stronger, the Severity Coefficient of Luo Jun breakthroughs has decreased. The benefits of success are still significant, but the cost of failure has diminished. Overall, the Severity Coefficient remains around eight times.

Not completely wiped out yet? Luo Jun immediately realized that this wisp of power still harbored its own agenda!

Before he could react, a tingling sensation spread through his palm. A moment later, a translucent crystal appeared, with what seemed to be flowing light within it...

Could it be because of that mummy, Emperor Menehses?

Could it be that Karruth's remnant soul was reborn by absorbing Menehses's soul?

Luo Jun leans towards the consequences... does he mean the impending Mosayus?

If this thing targets me, and I happen to be in a closed state after failing my breakthrough, it would indeed be very dangerous... But the problem is, Luo Jun's Gate of Myriad Realms is still open in the desert, and it's in a different direction from Mosayus's route. Even if I'm in a closed state, as long as I can escape through the gate before Mosayus arrives, this thing can't catch up...

So, is there another angle at play?

Luo Jun felt the Yuan Qi within his body double in concentration and exceptionally sharp, then looked at the stubborn Remnant Soul huddled in the corner, "Trembling."

"Ding! Event Difficulty: 51 points; Final Points: 99 + 5 points; Event Success!"

Although he had reached the third level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, just a day before, Luo Jun was only at the Body Refinement Realm. His rapid advancement in cultivation had left him somewhat unaccustomed to using Qi, and his control over Qi was not very flexible. Therefore, since separating from the gemstone, he had not used Qi at all, and to outsiders, he was still in the so-called "Hidden Qi" state.

The knights rushed out of the church, weapons in hand, and looked around alertly before all of them turning to look up.

"They're probably adjusting their state to prepare for the powerful challenge that's coming." Hank looked up at Luo Jun: "The concentration of this vital energy is at least at the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, but it's definitely not at the Peak level... But what's with this amount?"

Because of the Body Tempering Art, Luo Jun's vital energy doubles with each level; the second level is four times, so the third level is eight times.

"We just sensed a powerful Vital Energy Wave, and suspect an enemy attack. Look up there..."

"The aura of Karruth...?"

Verification is easy!

As time ticked by, the dice's skill was refreshed the moment the church Great Bell's hands passed midnight!

With the blessing of Level 8 Luck, two pairs of dice, one pair with 5 points and the other with 10 points!

Twenty-five attribute points earned!

With all the attribute points added, his dice were also unlocked!

Then immediately try to break through!

Could it be... that I created a Noble Phantasm?

No... the information about Noble Phantasms should be clear, but this thing is obviously different. It's just that the feeling it gives is too similar to a Noble Phantasm...

"Remember that wisp of remnant soul I mentioned within you? I suspect that might be the last trace of Karruth's essence... It's very faint, almost undetectable without careful examination. But if you come into close contact with that monster, it's hard to guarantee you won't be discovered..."

"Is this it..." Luo Jun frowned, attempting to completely absorb it with his aura, but this last trace of power was extremely stubborn, constantly resisting Luo Jun's digestion.

However, at this moment, Luo Jun, who had just completed his breakthrough, was forced to open his Qi. Even though he tried his best to suppress it, the astonishing amount of Qi, even if only a small part of it leaked out of his body, was still quite spectacular in the eyes of others!

After finally managing to withdraw his inner energy, Luo Jun checked the notifications in his mind.

While the elemental energy itself has some detection capabilities, the way it displays information is quite different from normal detection; it's more like... displaying information about a Noble Phantasm!

Luo Jun narrowed his eyes, a possibility coming to mind.

As he spoke, Old Yuan sighed, "The explorers are all experts. Although they can't defeat it head-on, escaping from this clumsy monster shouldn't be a problem. But if you anger the monster and cause some unpredictable consequences, that would be troublesome."

Furthermore, dice cannot predict things too far in the future; they can only make reasonable inferences about the present situation... Therefore, both the benefits and the consequences should be imminent...

Great Success?

Luo Jun was slightly taken aback, not because he was impressed by the convenience of the Fate Road Bracelet, but because he was surprised that the difficulty of clearing Menehses's Remnant Soul will was only a little over forty points?

But now that the dice had completed their judgment, Luo Jun unleashed his full power, using his upgraded energy to launch a fierce attack on the last remaining soul.

"Ding! The ' Realm Breakthrough ' event was successful. Base experience points: 51. Difficulty level: 12x. Final experience points: 612!"

Upon receiving the information, Luo Jun immediately began to compress all his vital energy and attempt to break through the barrier!

With each breath compressed and merged, Luo Jun finally broke through naturally. Terrifying Yuan Qi burst forth from his body, overflowing with Qi that even enveloped the church's spire.

However, Amgilla's breakthroughs were all at crucial moments. If the breakthrough had failed, it would have been a dead end. And the Severity Coefficient of those breakthroughs was a maximum of twelve times!

Luo Jun keenly sensed that this thing was unusual, and subconsciously scanned it with his Yuan Qi. Some Blur, chaotic information appeared in his mind...

"That's not an enemy..." the Holy Knight sighed. "Let's turn off the Vital Energy Vision."

Everyone was taken aback and immediately deactivated their Vital Energy Vision, plunging the church back into darkness. Looking up again, they saw a masked man standing atop the church spire.

Because within the energy still resisting within him, besides the aura of Karruth, there was a familiar scent, almost identical to the feeling of the core.

If I can break through this barrier, with eight times the concentration of vital energy, a terrifying amount of energy, and the help of the dice, I should be able to overcome this stubborn force.

Luo Jun adjusted his Inner Breath and checked his meridians and Sea of Consciousness... After his Master's reminder, he did indeed sense a faint fragment of a soul within his body... It felt like the power of the gemstone merging into his meridians. Although it had completely collapsed, it still had a trace of its last stubbornness and had not been completely assimilated.

Luo Jun rubbed his chin; it wasn't that there was no solution...

After breaking through to the second level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, he continued to absorb a large amount of energy from Karruth, and finally showed faint signs of breaking through again... If the gem hadn't just run out, Luo Jun would still have had to risk breaking through after the concentration of Qi in his body reached its Limit.

Hank walked out of the church doors, and the other knights bowed in greeting. "Holy Knight!"

Luo Jun immediately extracted the attributes of level 43.

He recalled the scene where he was sucked onto the gem. At that time, he was trying to grab the mummy's fleeing core, but after grabbing it, he was sucked in by the core and carried to a high altitude. Later, although Luo Jun used his evolved qi to destroy the core, the power did not completely disappear. Instead, it followed the qi and entered his meridians.

For ordinary Cultivators, each level only increases the concentration by 50%, meaning that to reach eight times the concentration, at least five levels are required.

"What happened?"

This is way too easy... And what about the benefits of Great Success? I haven't experienced any of them at all!

Just as Luo Jun was wondering, he suddenly felt that the power flowed faster, as if it had its own consciousness, and uncontrollably gathered towards his palm!

No, that's not right either... Luo Jun shook his head, carefully considering the flavors, and realized that there seemed to be other flavors mixed in besides the two.

Feeling the abundant power within my body, what if I chose to break through now and reach the Foundation Establishment Realm Third Layer?

"Ding! Event Difficulty 42 points, Final Points 93 + 5 points, event Great Success!"

This time, even if the breakthrough fails, it shouldn't be life-threatening, but the Severity Coefficient is still twelve times higher than normal. This means that either Luo Jun will receive huge additional benefits if he succeeds, or there will be serious consequences that could endanger his life if he fails.

The fallen god's remaining Divine Sense devoured Menehses's remnant soul, so this power is a combination of Karruth and Menehses?

"Ding, this event is Mandatory Event and cannot be determined. The number of dice rolls is reduced by one."

Looking at the sky, it was already late; there were still nearly twenty hours before Mosayus arrived in Paramis City.

Luo Jun thought for a moment, then placed the crystal on his left wrist watch, attempting to manipulate it using the same method as storing a magical artifact...

Faced with Luo Jun's Yuan Qi at eight times the concentration, that remnant soul finally could not withstand it. With his attack, it quickly crumbled, and the consciousness it contained was completely extinguished...

"The enemy hasn't even appeared yet, and you're already recklessly releasing your inner energy. Aren't you afraid of depleting your vital energy?"

Thinking of this, Luo Jun summoned the dice again.

This is...

Karruth's Remnant Soul doesn't exist at all; this great god is completely dead!

So here's the question: Who is the other soul within him, as Master said?

After much thought, the only one that can be found is Menehses within that shattered core!

So, it wasn't that Karruth devoured Menehses's remnant soul, but rather that the last vestige of the last emperor's Divine Sense was reborn using Karruth's power? Or perhaps, during the contest of divine power between himself and Karruth, it conveniently found its way into his body and settled there?

That's it?

They're inside?

Luo Jun was slightly taken aback. Had he entered the Hundred Treasure Box?

Is this thing really a Noble Phantasm?
