Chapter 392 Calm & Storm: Heaven Grade Item
Xie Feng felt his hands trembling and his feet had become weak. If not for the fact that he had previously sat on the ground, he would have fallen flat on his face at this moment due to the huge shock he had just received.
While looking at the beautiful silver-white spear in his hands, Xie Feng sucked in a breath of cold air as his eyes widened in a state of shock.
The most Xie Feng expected to see was a God grade weapon so if that was the case he would not have been as surprised as he was right now.
A Saint grade weapon! The highest rank of all except for the legendary and never seen by other people Forbidden grade!
As if that wasn't enough, not only was it a Saint grade weapon; it was the weapon of the legendary Bright Light Clan! The weapon that the powerful and beloved by mankind Goddess Mei Hen!
Among the weapons of different grades, there were also different qualities. For example, a God grade fifty level weapon could very well be weaker than another God grade fifty level weapon. This meant that among the Saint grade weapons, there were some that were considerably weaker compared to others.
However, even the weakest weapon within the Saint grade would undoubtedly be much more powerful than a God grade weapon.
There was no doubt that the silver-white spear in Xie Feng's hands was of the highest possible quality among the Saint grade weapons. After all, this was the weapon carried by the goddess who protected mankind during times of crisis in the past!
Seeing those terrifying skills and frightening stats, Xie Feng felt his heart ache.
Because the spear was tied to Goddess Mei Hen, he could not equip it in any way. Just as Xie Feng's Calamity Spear could not be used by anyone other than him, Endless Light was a weapon that only Goddess Mei Hen could use to its fullest.
As for how the King of the Eastern Sea used some of the weapon's power, Xie Feng had no idea and that would probably continue to remain as a secret for a while.
Although it was a pity, Xie Feng was not too sad. Having such a powerful weapon with him, moreover, the weapon of the legendary Goddess Mei Hen, was not too bad. If the worst came to the worst he could simply sell it at a huge price.
Many wealthy people would be more than willing to pay a colossal price for such a weapon. After all, even if they couldn't use it, who knows? They might find the means in the future.
Xie Feng suddenly felt the Ring of the God of Destruction in his right hand slightly warm up.
Xie Feng looked at it with a small smile and said cheerfully, "Oh! It finally started!"
Now he was finally sure of his earlier theory.
Apparently, to unlock the seals of the Ring of the God of Destruction, Xie Feng had no choice but to defeat the most powerful grade bosses in the entire game.
This theory was born when Xie Feng defeated the Fatal Poisonous Commodus Dragon back then. At that time, the Ring of the God of Destruction had warmed up for a moment before going silent again and, several days later, the ring had evolved into something completely new after removing one of the seals that restricted it.
Now that Xie Feng had defeated a Heaven grade boss, he was expecting the same reaction as before from the ring. However, such a reaction had not happened until this moment so Xie Feng was doubting his theory.
But now everything was clear.
"Doesn't this mean that to remove the third seal I must slay a God grade enemy and for the fourth seal a Saint grade enemy?" Xie Feng smiled bitterly and his expression was as ugly as if he had eaten several live flies.
Fighting an Immortal grade enemy was something Xie Feng could do with relative ease currently.
He could kill a Heaven grade enemy depending on the circumstances. But even in the best case scenario, he would be forced to use practically his entire arsenal and would fall into a weakened condition for at least a whole day.
As for a God-grade enemy... Such existences were far from something that the current Xie Feng could kill. At most, he could only fight back and deal considerable damage before being forced to flee miserably.
As for Saint grade existences... Xie Feng didn't even think about it. He could only cause damage by taking advantage of the invincibility time that the Frozen End Overlord's Armor skill gave him for one minute and then he could attack for the 120 seconds during which the enemy was sealed in ice by the Ice Apocalypse skill.
Against a Saint grade enemy, even if Xie Feng attacked for 120 seconds straight using Green Flame he would not be able to take even 1/10th of the health of such an existence, forget about killing it.
The more he thought about it, the more he realized how weak he was.
Even after fighting so many life and death battles, even after overcoming countless dangers and entering areas and maps that no player would dare to enter, Xie Feng was still pathetically weak compared to the true rulers of this world.
His excitement about defeating Hai Lun was greatly dampened after thinking about this. He gently stroked the ring on his right hand, hoping that its next evolution would be of help to him.
"Forget it. There's no point in thinking about it currently." Xie Feng shook his head and quickly took out the three items he obtained after defeating Hai Lun.
The first thing that caught his attention was a strange stone platelet.
Immortal Stele (2): Part of a rock. It is said that if all the pieces are put together and taken to the right place, the gates to heaven will open and the truth will be revealed.
This stone tablet was very similar to the one Xie Feng had obtained after defeating the Fatal Poisonous Commodus Dragon. He had forgotten that he had the Immortal Stele (1) in his inventory until now when he saw an extremely similar one but with the number (2).
As with the previous one, Xie Feng kept it in his inventory carefully. Although he temporarily had no way of knowing what these strange things were, since it was the drop of such a powerful boss there was no way it was something useless.
The next item Xie Feng took out was a navy blue earring with a small fiery red pearl. The earring looked extremely exquisite and just holding it Xie Feng felt calmer than usual.
[Calm & Storm: Heaven Grade Item -
Description: There is a human saying which is "the calm before the storm". This item perfectly represents such words.
Equipment requirements: Fire Resistance 50% / Water Resistance 50%.
Properties: Vitality +200 / Intelligence +250 / Strength +100 / Agility +300 / Normal attacks have a 10% chance of freezing the enemy for 2 seconds.
(Skill(s)):
Calm (Passive): When the user's mind is pacified, the probability of critical hits increases by 20%. The passive effect disappears after activating Storm.
Storm (Active): Can be activated at will or is activated automatically in 'rage' state or condition. When Storm is activated, the critical hit chance is increased by 50% for 30 seconds. It has a cooldown of two minutes].
Xie Feng's face changed completely as he saw the properties of the item before him. The reason why this earring did not need to be evaluated was probably because Hai Lun was already using it; it was just that before he died he did not even have the chance to demonstrate the power of such an item.
The amount of statistics provided by the earring could only be described as very much. More than six hundred points on a single object was simply absurd.
In fact, almost all of Xie Feng's stats would practically double if he equipped this earring.
However, what scared and delighted Xie Feng were its two skills.
No matter whether it was the passive skill Calm or the active skill Storm; both were exceptionally strong and terrifying skills!
Even with all of Xie Feng's equipment the amount of critical hit probability he had was a mere 15%. However, Calm permanently gave him 20%, and when the skill Storm was triggered that percentage increased to a terrifying 50%.
This basically meant that on average, one out of every two of Xie Feng's attacks would be a critical hit!
A critical hit was equivalent to double the normal damage and the higher the player's damage, the more terrifying this effect became. After the instant death effect, the probability of critical hits was perhaps the second most feared effect by anyone.
Although the 50% fire resistance requirement was one that Xie Feng could not currently meet because his fire resistance was only 39 points, this was something that could be easily solved by activating Flame Soul.
Xie Feng felt as if his entire soul was burning after activating the Ring of the God of Destruction' skill and his fire resistance increased by another 20%. The only condition was that he could not deactivate the effect until his fire resistance exceeded the necessary requirement or else the effects of the earring would be immediately nullified and would have no effect even if he were wearing them.
Although normally maintaining such a skill was impossible, with his mana regeneration it was no problem.
With now 59% fire resistance, Xie Feng removed the bronze earrings he wore. As a consequence, all his magic resistances dropped by 4%.
He did not mind this and without hesitation equipped the new earring.
