The shattered golden carapace scattered across the ground bore witness to the Peak Despairer Gleaming Golden Beetle's sorry, wretched state.
Its bright-red flesh quivered incessantly, revealing just how weak the creature had become.
Even half its head had been blasted apart.
Looking at the dying Gleaming Golden Beetle beneath his feet, Saine judged that the collision of two different, overwhelming powers within its body had caused an energy detonation and a clash of laws. That was the true reason it had ended up in such a state.
Still, the Gleaming Golden Beetle had been lucky.
After all, the other two Half-Step Peak Despairers that had defied Saine and Zi You had already been reduced to piles of minced flesh beneath their outrageous assault.
Those two had likely contributed to the bright-red mass Saine had marked down as raw material for refining Blood Essence.
Yet the Gleaming Golden Beetle had also been unlucky.
Because Saine had no intention of sparing it!
To have survived the dual assault of the World-Extinguishing Impact Light and Starlight, this creature had already surpassed many Peak Despairers, at least in terms of vitality and defense.
Those golden carapace fragments strewn everywhere were top-grade materials for artifact refinement in Saine's eyes.
With those materials, Saine could not even guess how much Magic Conductor equipment he could make.
Or he could melt them down and add them to the outer metal shells of the high-ranking Intelligent Robots under his command. His Intelligent Robots' defensive power would surely rise greatly as a result.
Even the Gleaming Golden Beetle's flesh and tissues were rare, premium raw materials for Blood Essence Potions.
Saine believed that potions refined with the Gleaming Golden Beetle's flesh as their primary ingredient would be far more effective than those made from ordinary Despairers or Half-Step Peak
