Chapter 448 — A Mountain of Stat Points

At the thought of its carefully cultivated offspring dying at Shi Jin's hands, at the thought that Shi Jin was the chief culprit who had stolen away its believers, the Tyrant Dragon King could scarcely bear it.

How it longed to travel back ten years and kill Shi Jin in its cub form ahead of time.

Of course, those totem nations that had heeded the Black Dragon Sovereign's and the Tyrant Dragon King's instigations but lacked the vast resources of the Origin Land—seeing their own contestants die miserably—also turned pale as death. At this moment, countless contestants from the totem nations, upon seeing Shi Jin, found their legs turning to jelly. Even the ace contestants of demigod powers like the Dark Night Forest and the Demon Kingdom wore ashen expressions one and all, utterly at a loss as to how they were supposed to compete in the rest of the World Tournament.

Infinite self-destruction and revival, plus meteors falling from the sky—how the hell were they supposed to fight that?

And that was not even counting that absurd Ocean Spirit, and Shi Jin himself, whose strength after possession was equally terrifying!!

And then there was the Wind Qilin of the mythological race—could it possibly be weak?

Had they not seen how a single gust of fortune's wind had drawn blood from a divine beast?

If the nations had harbored any lingering hope before, now, seeing Shi Jin cut down two totems in succession—crushing them in the form of instant kills—they were utterly cowed!!

They could only feel that this World Tournament was damn well not meant for overlord-rank contenders!

Only totem-rank contenders had the admission ticket.

And even then, there was an overwhelming chance of being instakilled by some passing monster—what kind of fight was that!

At this moment, the demigods of the totem nations and the legends of the human nations alike twitched at the corner of their mouths, their hearts shaken. Not only were their subjects dumbstruck; they themselves could scarcely accept it.

They could not understand why the Eastern Radiance had produced such a freak. Why was every single one of Shi Ying's pet beasts such a monster!!!

At present, if anyone was still rather excited—if anyone still wanted to do battle with Shi Shuo—it was likely only the Golden Bull God.

At this moment, the Golden Bull God's gaze burned with fervor. It had originally worried that in the trials to come, the Azure Dragon's meteors would not allow it to fight to its heart's content, but if that self-destruction imbued with the power of flame and light was included... it felt its blood already beginning to boil.

As expected.

Its gaze turned toward Cen Yu. This person, surely, was the family's hope who could let it, once awakened, fight to its heart's content.

At the thought of Shi Ying's strength, the Golden Bull God could not help but flex its muscles.

A short while later. Shi Jin finished collecting all the Life Fruits.

With Ginseng Baby in tow, he politely flew out of the barrier and looked toward the Eternal Divine Tree.

The Demon King Dragon's mouth twitched. It had not expected that the sixth trial, too, would be taken by Shi Jin.

This gave it a certain feeling: the seventh would likewise, in all probability, still be Shi Jin's. No—or rather, among those here, only Shi Jin could ever earn that bull's recognition.

"Take it."

"Your performance... was not bad."

Looking over the ravaged trial grounds, the Eternal Divine Tree drew out a seven-colored flower of eternity brimming with powerful life force and tossed it toward Qi.

"Many thanks."

Yu.

The Flower of Eternity fell into Shi Jin's hand, and Shi Jin immediately felt his mind and spirit refreshed.

Eating it would instantly add ten thousand years to one's lifespan!

It possessed life force comparable to the god rank.

Never aging again, forever preserved at the peak of one's condition.

But what it wanted to know now was this: could the eternal power of this god-level resource offset the skill points of a divine technique?
