The Casting Goldstone was so hard that even Dark-Gold Weapons would have difficulty destroying it. However, when the Casting Goldstone came into contact with Killing Ray, it melted into liquid and flowed into the blade.
The instant the liquid flowed into the blade, golden, divine runes appeared on Killing Ray's surface.
In the blink of an eye, the divine runes covered Killing Ray. Following which, the divine runes attached themselves to Shifeng's arm, connecting his arm to Killing Ray.
Shifeng felt a dense energy flow through his body. His mental state also improved slightly.
"Amazing! It can even improve my mental state! Shifeng could not help but glance at Killing Ray.
It was very difficult to improve a player's mental state. Normally, players would only be able to remain calm when they were in an environment with dense Mana. However, right now, when he wielded Killing Ray, he felt a sense of euphoria. His mental state remained in a slightly excited state as if he had taken a stimulant.
In such a state, it was very easy for him to perform better than usual.
At this moment, not only had Shifeng's mental state improved, but even Killing Ray had undergone some changes. Divine runes flowed around Killing Ray, continuously absorbing the surrounding energy. This process lasted for four seconds before the divine runes dissipated. At the same time, a faint layer of blood mist covered Killing Ray's blade.
However, compared to the superficial improvement, Killing Ray's Basic Attributes had undergone a true transformation. It had gained a Passive Skill.
[Power of Blood Refinement] Increases all Attributes by 15%, main Attribute by an additional 5%, and physique by 25%. Absorbs a portion of a target's energy to recover the wielder's Concentration.
Just the second-layer magic array is already so powerful? Shifeng was shocked when he read the Power of Blood Refinement's introduction.
Currently, Killing Ray's Basic Attributes were already close to rivaling a Fragmented Legendary item's. Only its Attack Power and Skills were slightly weaker.
Moreover, the improvement to his physique was simply frightening.
Killing Ray's Basic Attributes had increased by 25%, which was close to reaching Tier 1 from Tier 0.
With such a massive improvement, even an ordinary expert could contend with a Refinement Realm expert with the same level of equipment. In fact, they might even have a high chance of victory. After all, the improvement to his physique also improved his perception, dynamic vision, reaction speed, and other aspects. Even if he couldn't exert his combat power to the fullest, a Refinement Realm expert would have a hard time injuring him. Not to mention, the Blood Refining Power had also increased his Basic Attributes significantly.
Of course, this was also due to the extraordinary nature of Killing Ray.
The Casting Goldstone's power didn't just come from the magic array. The weapon's quality should also play a small role.
Following which, Shifeng produced another Casting Goldstone and attempted to forge a Level 75 Dark-Gold Battle Axe.
Sure enough, as Shifeng had guessed, the Casting Goldstone's power wasn't as impressive as Killing Ray's. However, it still increased all of his Basic Attributes by 13%, his main Basic Attribute by 4%, and his physique by 22%. The Casting Goldstone also absorbed a portion of the damage it dealt to creatures to recover its Concentration.
It's no wonder why the various superpowers were so obsessed with the Advanced Blood Refining Secret Technique in the past. They even offered astronomical prices to purchase Blood Refining Fragments. The Blood Refining Secret Technique really is frightening. If I can learn the Advanced Blood Refining Secret Technique, I'm afraid that a first-rate Guild will have the strength to contend with a Super Guild for a short time. Shifeng also yearned to learn the Advanced Blood Refining Secret Technique.
If a single Casting Goldstone was already so powerful, with the Advanced Blood Refining Secret Technique, Tier 2 experts would likely be able to contend with Tier 3 experts instantly. Tier 3 experts could even contend with Tier 4 experts.
Even a Domain Realm expert would most likely only be able to contend with an ordinary Tier 3 expert. Against a Refinement Realm or Flowing Water Realm expert, they'd likely have no choice but to flee. In fact, they might not even be able to escape.
Meanwhile, with the Advanced Blood Refining Secret Technique, it wouldn't be difficult to produce over 100 Casting Goldstones. In other words, Zero Wing could instantly have over 100 Domain Realm experts.
One hundred!
Even the Five Great Super Guilds didn't have that many Domain Realm experts.
However, Shifeng didn't give the matter too much thought. Setting aside how difficult it was to obtain the Advanced Blood Refining Secret Technique, they hadn't even fully grasped the Casting Goldstone. They had only learned the second-layer magic array.
Following which, Shifeng began to produce Casting Goldstones frantically.
Although the Casting Goldstones weren't perfect, they could still significantly improve players' combat power. Compared to the Refinement Realm experts the Guild had to nurture, the Casting Goldstone could improve the Guild's overall strength much more quickly. Moreover, the production cost was much lower.
The cost of producing a single Casting Goldstone was only around 40 Gold. To ordinary experts, such an amount might be very expensive, but to Shi Feng, it was nothing.
The only problem was the lack of materials. Currently, they only had several hundred sets of materials.
To the massive Zero Wing, a few hundred Casting Goldstones was simply too little. Zero Wing needed at least 10,000 Casting Goldstones. Only then would it have the confidence to contend with superpowers in the fields.
However, these several hundred sets of materials weren't completely useless. At the very least, they could increase the combat power of Ling Yi's main force by a large margin.
As one Casting Goldstone after another took shape, Shifeng's production speed increased.
Previously, as they weren't familiar with drawing the magic array and were worried about failure, they had been very careful. However, after fusing Killing Ray with a Casting Goldstone, their Concentration had improved, so they had a much easier time.
After working for over 20 hours and consuming 326 sets of materials, Shifeng had harvested 300 Casting Goldstones.
As Shifeng prepared to produce the next batch of Casting Goldstones, he received a call notification. When Shifeng saw the caller ID, he discovered that it was Unyielding Soul's Unyielding Heart. He immediately accepted the call.
"Brother Heart, how did you find the time to contact me?" Shifeng asked as he continued to produce Casting Goldstones. "I heard that you've been working tirelessly to explore the Bottomless Abyss's first floor."
After Unyielding Soul had garrisoned in Stone Forest City, the Guild had focused all of its attention on the Bottomless Abyss. Its two Vice Guild Leaders had focused all of their efforts on exploring the Bottomless Abyss's first floor.
"Brother Hei Yan, do you still have time to joke around?" Unyielding Heart asked anxiously. "Did you agree to fight Starlink in Dark Night City?"
"Mhm, you already know," Shifeng said, nodding.
"I'm not the only one who knows. Every player in the Dark Night Empire knows about it," Unyielding Heart said, exasperated. Exasperated, Unyielding Heart continued, "Starlink has been publicizing this matter recently. I'm sure every player in the city is talking about it right now. Why did you agree to such a competition?"
Starlink was incredibly powerful. Aside from the Dark Night Empire, it continued to expand its territory, growing stronger with each passing day. Now that Ling Yi had Stone Forest City, the Guild's fame in the Dark Night Empire was unparalleled. Starlink had struggled to establish a foothold in the Dark Night Empire, but it had been helpless against it.
Now, however, Starlink had a chance.
While a 10,000-man match might seem fair, in reality, Ling Yi would be at an overwhelming disadvantage. Starlink had been operating in the empire for a long time and had recruited countless experts. The quality of these 10,000 experts was no laughing matter. Meanwhile, Ling Yi had only recently established a foothold in the Dark Night Empire and had only begun to recruit some powerful experts. How could he possibly compete with Starlink?
If Ling Yi lost, the prestige he had worked so hard to build in the Dark Night Empire would be gone. He would only make one thing clear to the various powers and players.
Ling Yi's sudden rise to power was nothing more than an illusion.
Ling Yi had established a foothold in the Dark Night Empire because the various powers and powerful experts had realized that Ling Yi had a chance of contending with Starlink. Hence, they had subtly formed an alliance with Shifeng to deal with Starlink.
Although Starlink had countless experts, the territory it governed was simply too large. It couldn't cover all of them at once. Now that the various powers were secretly plotting against Starlink, Starlink had no choice but to allocate more manpower.
Once the various powers and powerful experts realized that Ling Yi had no hope, they would abandon Ling Yi and join Starlink's side to secretly deal with Ling Yi. At that time, Ling Yi would be the one to suffer.
Shifeng could only smile bitterly at Unyielding Heart's confusion and concern. After all, this matter involved the Gravity Mountain Range's fortress, and it was still confidential. He couldn't speak of it casually.
"I have a group of hidden experts. Although there aren't many of them, there are still over a thousand of them. If you have them join Ling Yi, they should be able to help Ling Yi. I also have some weapons and equipment we obtained from the Bottomless Abyss. They should be able to increase your main force's combat power," Unyielding Heart said, sighing.
"Thank you, but forget about it. If we suddenly gain an additional 1,000 players and join this war, Starlink will definitely suspect us. They'll investigate and spread rumors that Ling Yi has requested external help. Unyielding Soul's hidden strength will also be exposed," Shi Feng said, shaking his head. Chuckling, he continued, "Starlink might have an advantage in this war, but Ling Yi isn't an easy opponent, either."
"Alright, then. If you need any help, just let me know," Unyielding Heart said, shaking his head and sighing. He understood Shifeng's intentions.
If this were a 1,000-man battle, a few peak and apex experts would be enough to turn the tide of the battle, but a 10,000-man battle was a different story. A few individuals wouldn't have much of an impact. Furthermore, Starlink had an incredibly deep foundation. How could it be so easy to deal with? Even Super Guilds wouldn't be confident of victory against Starlink.
Following which, Shifeng and Unyielding Heart exchanged a few more words before disconnecting the call. He then contacted Shiuse Qiangwei and summoned the Guild's main force and core members to Candlelight. He then distributed the 300 Casting Goldstones and had everyone equip them.
The Casting Goldstone's power surprised Shiuse Qiangwei and the others. They had never thought that such an item existed in God's Domain. The Casting Goldstone could even provide a significant boost to their current strength, let alone Refinement Realm experts.
Following which, Shifeng had Shiuse Qiangwei gather the Guild's top 10,000 experts.
Immediately, Ling Yi's Residence bustled with activity. The experts that had been scattered throughout God's Domain gathered in one place. The Guild's Residence looked like a gathering of experts. Every one of these experts was at least Level 77, with many reaching Level 78. Compared to current mainstream experts, who were only Level 75, this gathering was at least two tiers higher.
"Guild Leader, everyone's here. We can set out at any time," Shiuse Qiangwei said, smiling as he looked at Shifeng.
"Good! Let's go!"
