Bab 359: Chapter 281: The Golden Essence Dao Fruit!
Chapter 281: The Golden Essence Dao Fruit!
As everyone watched in eager anticipation, the reward for tenth place slowly came into view.
[Weapon List, Tenth Place Reward: Golden Essence Dao Fruit]
[Enhances the power of a Saint and provides a 10% chance for a Quasi-Saint to break through to Saint Realm!]
With the appearance of this item, even the normally reserved Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't help but break into a hidden smile. Although the second reward hadn't appeared yet, with this reward alone—alongside the previous one—Yuanshi Tianzun had far surpassed Laozi in terms of prize significance.
Interestingly, the Golden Essence Dao Fruit seemed to target Laozi directly. Laozi's power had been reduced by a tenth due to the Golden List's interference, while this fruit could enhance a Saint's power by the same amount. If one thought about it, it appeared as though the power Laozi lost had been taken by the Golden List and redistributed as a reward to others.
The audience watching the livestream had no knowledge of the Weapon List or its origins, only that it held immense power and authority, perhaps even capable of transferring one person's power to another. Normally, others would be skeptical about such a feat, but given the Golden List's immense power displayed from the start, it seemed entirely plausible.
Naturally, Laozi was furious upon seeing this reward. Though he knew it was merely an exceedingly rare treasure, the fact that its power enhancement matched his own lost power struck a nerve.
[Guanyin Bodhisattva: It seems that the tenth-place reward isn't bad at all. The first reward to appear is already this valuable!]
For a Saint, a tenth of their power is no trivial amount; gaining it through personal cultivation would take countless years. When Laozi's power was reduced, he struggled fiercely against it, underscoring the magnitude of that loss.
Even if Yuanshi Tianzun had only received this first reward, it would still have been more than worthwhile for him. He couldn't help feeling that his luck was at its peak, bringing him prize after prize, leaving him quite content.
[Zhunti: It appears that Yuanshi Tianzun alone managed to exceed his rank in terms of rewards this time!]
Even Saints felt a tinge of envy for Yuanshi Tianzun, who had obtained items so well-suited to him. With this rank and reward, Yuanshi Tianzun's strength might very well reach a terrifying new level.
[Jieyin: Let's hope we receive similar rewards when our rankings are revealed; that would satisfy me!]
[Tongtian Jiaozhu: You're asking for a lot there. It'd be fortunate if you receive rewards close to Laozi's level, let alone trying to match Yuanshi Tianzun's!]
[Sun Wukong: But his rewards can't possibly compare to the top three, can they?]
[Nuwa: Naturally, the top three rewards on the rankings are extraordinary. But even Yuanshi Tianzun's ninth and tenth place prizes are already impressive. Your comparison is just off-point!]
The rewards received by Ye Tian for the top three positions left everyone in awe. Only the top three prizes carried such immense value, with each successive rank offering slightly less. However, Yuanshi Tianzun's Chaos Immortality Talisman was particularly astonishing, along with the Golden Essence Dao Fruit, whose primary effect was to increase a Saint's power by a tenth. Its secondary benefit, though, was a tempting chance for others—a 10% possibility of achieving Saint Realm.
In the barren landscape of the Primordial World, opportunities for Saint Realm were nearly non-existent. Yet, Laozi's recent Saint Ascension Pill reward had granted his disciple, Grandmaster Xuandu, Saint Realm effortlessly. This unexpected turn of events lit a spark of hope among peak Quasi-Saints, as Xuandu's path to Saint Realm seemed almost effortless. Now, everyone was wondering if there might be other items offering a similar chance.
No one expected the chance for Saint Realm to reappear so soon. Opportunities that were once vanishingly rare had surfaced twice within a short span, shocking everyone. When had the path to Saint Realm become so accessible?
However, true Saints saw this as a modest opportunity at best. With only a 10% chance, it was too slim to rely on. Only those who had already achieved Saint Realm knew the near-impossible difficulty of reaching that realm. Xuandu Grandmaster had reached it due to the Saint Pill, which was specifically designed to elevate peak Quasi-Saints to Saints, with its power-enhancing effect as a secondary benefit.
In contrast, the Golden Essence Dao Fruit functioned in the opposite manner, primarily boosting power with only a slight chance of Saint Realm—making it virtually negligible. Saints understood that Saint Realm required certainty; relying on a 10% chance could lead to easy failure.
That said, it wasn't entirely without hope. If someone had sufficient power and enough luck, there was still a faint chance of success. Yet it was a slim hope, one that only Saints truly understood. For peak Quasi-Saints, however, this chance alone was more than welcome. They were less concerned with the odds; the opportunity itself was a rarity.
For now, the Golden Essence Dao Fruit remained in Yuanshi Tianzun's possession, leaving everyone curious about how he would eventually use it.
Though this reward alone had everyone astounded, another prize still awaited. The audience's anticipation continued to build.
After a brief wait, the next reward appeared.
[Weapon List, Ninth Place Reward: Chaos Primordial Spirit Fruit]
[Consuming this fruit will transform one's Primordial Spirit into a Chaos Primordial Spirit!]
This reward was valuable in its own right but seemed less desirable compared to the Golden Essence Dao Fruit. Few among the assembled powerhouses focused much on enhancing their Primordial Spirit, and the Chaos Primordial Spirit's boost to strength was limited. Saints didn't require this upgrade, as their Primordial Spirits were already highly formidable. So, while both rewards had their strengths, the Chaos Primordial Spirit Fruit wasn't seen as an ideal choice.
