"What's wrong with the Guild Master? Why does he keep staring at that blood-colored stone?"
"Could there be something special about that blood-colored stone?"
"What's special about a stone? It's just raw material. I wonder what grade of equipment the Hellfire Serpent will drop this time. If it really drops a Legendary item, that would be incredible!"
"That's way too optimistic! No matter how you look at it, there's no way it drops a Legendary item. But a fragment of a Legendary item—that's very possible. If our Zero Wing Guild could get our hands on another fragment of a Legendary item, those super guilds would be green with envy."
The crowd began discussing the Hellfire Serpent's potential drops among themselves, especially the possibility of a Legendary item fragment.
Nowadays, the major guilds already had players above level fifty and had even obtained some Epic-grade items, but not a single fragment of a Legendary item had appeared.
If a guild possessed a Legendary item fragment now, it would undoubtedly serve as the guild's treasured pride—a symbol of its power. That would make it entirely possible to elevate Zero Wing's reputation even further. After all, it would be the first guild in Divine Realm to possess a Legendary item fragment.
For anyone who played virtual reality games, there was almost no one who didn't pay close attention to weapons and equipment. Equipment that ranked at the very pinnacle of Divine Realm was something everyone dreamed of.
Once the word got out, Zero Wing's name wouldn't just be known among players in the Star Moon Kingdom—players from numerous kingdoms and empires would learn of the Zero Wing Guild's existence.
With the guild's reputation soaring, more players would want to join Zero Wing. And with more players, more experts would naturally follow, and the guild's strength would only grow.
"A Legendary item fragment?" Shi Feng heard the whispered discussions and couldn't help but shake his head with an amused smile.
Zero Wing already possessed Legendary item fragments—and more than one, at that. While their reasoning wasn't wrong, an innocent man could be guilty simply for possessing a treasure. The waters of Divine Realm ran very deep.
If Zero Wing's reputation truly spread throughout all of Divine Realm, what it would bring wouldn't just be fame, but countless potential enemies as well. That was precisely why he had instructed Zero Wing's leadership to keep everything secret—they were absolutely forbidden from making any public announcement.
Moreover, compared to Legendary item fragments, the blood-colored stone in his possession was far more valuable.
Bloodlines were exceedingly rare in Divine Realm—even more so than Legendary item fragments. Whenever one appeared, it would trigger a bloodbath, and even super guilds would go all out to seize it.
Possessing a bloodline meant eventually producing a peak-tier expert. Furthermore, the higher one's level grew, the more pronounced the advantages became. At a certain point, even Legendary item fragments couldn't compare.
Not to mention that the bloodline in his possession was a naturally formed bloodline, not one created by ancient gods.
In Divine Realm, bloodlines were divided into two types. The first were bloodlines created by ancient gods—the primary source of bloodlines in Divine Realm. The second were naturally formed bloodlines.
Between the two, the first type was refined through the power of ancient gods, but in terms of bloodline purity, it fell slightly short compared to naturally formed ones.
That said, both types had their merits. God-created bloodlines were more targeted—for instance, his Dark Iron Bloodline could enhance the compatibility of melee skills, allowing skill completion rates to be achieved more easily at higher levels. Naturally formed bloodlines were weaker in this regard, but their potential for base stat growth was superior.
With the same ordinary bloodline, a naturally formed one granted more stat growth per level compared to a god-created one. Over time, the stat gap between the two would only widen.
For this reason, any player in Divine Realm who possessed a naturally formed bloodline was known as a "humanoid giant beast." Unlike stat boosts gained through weapons and equipment, these were genuine base attributes. For players who pursued the limits of their stats, naturally formed bloodlines were supreme treasures.
It was hard to believe that a level-seventy high-tier Grand Lord—one that was a Primordial Species, no less, which absolutely should not have been capable of dropping a bloodline—had actually done so. Even for a Primordial Species, that should have been completely impossible.
