Hearing the system notification, Shi Feng froze for a moment, feeling conflicted.
Whether it was the deep-blue crystal sphere he'd obtained from the Eternal Hall or the Divine Crystal he'd snatched from the Beast King, both should be extremely precious items — worth more than an epic-grade item at the very least.
But now he was being asked to fuse them...
Fusion meant two items would become one, which meant that if Shi Feng agreed, he'd lose one of them.
Epic-grade items weren't exactly rare for a reborn player like him. As long as his team was strong enough, he had plenty of ways to get his hands on them. But items above epic grade were a different story — no amount of strength alone could secure them. They required luck and opportunity.
If he refused, he'd have to find another method to unlock both items on his own.
"Forget it. I'll just take the fusion and figure it out later." Shi Feng gritted his teeth and clicked to accept the fusion.
Instantly, the two crystal spheres dissolved into liquid. The sphere from the Eternal Hall melted into a pool of blue liquid, while the transparent sphere stolen from the Beast King turned into a golden one. The two began to merge, seemingly devouring each other — their colors shifting between deep blue and gold. The divine pressure radiating from them grew stronger by the second.
"Is this really just a fusion?" Shi Feng felt utterly uncomfortable under the crushing divine aura.
After several minutes of struggle, the two pools of liquid finally merged into one.
The victor, in the end, was the deep-blue crystal from the Eternal Hall.
After the fusion, its shape had changed as well — no longer a crystal sphere but a deep-blue metal chalice, covered in countless tiny blue divine script. Faint purple light flowed around the chalice, and the divine pressure it exuded far surpassed what it had emitted before.
"Amazing!" Shi Feng couldn't help but exclaim.
He was absolutely certain this was the most powerful item he had ever seen — even the legendary fragment, the Holy Breath of the Heavenly Dragon, paled in comparison.
If this weren't deep inside a private vault, the entire bank hall would have erupted into chaos. Any player caught within the range of this divine pressure would struggle to move — and if he, a first-rank Sword Saint, was finding it difficult, zero-rank players would have no chance at all.
Shi Feng could only imagine that if he could control this blue chalice, dealing with an elite army of a thousand would pose no problem whatsoever.
He then clicked to inspect the chalice's attributes.
However, the moment he tapped on the stat panel, with his finger still some distance from the chalice, he instantly took five thousand points of frost damage, losing half his HP in a heartbeat.
"Damn, this thing is insane." Shi Feng stared at his completely frozen hand. His entire arm was encased in purple ice. If his finger had been just a little closer, he'd probably have been killed instantly...
He then looked at the chalice's displayed attributes.
Holy Chalice — Legendary-grade item. Said to have been held by the Goddess of Life, granting the power of eternal immortality. However, it was destroyed by the God of War after the Twilight of the Gods and placed within the Eternal Hall. Repairing the Holy Chalice requires an ample supply of divine power. Only one who possesses an Eternal Heart can fully wield this item. Grants the ability to evolve an item by sacrificing one's own life force. There is a significant chance of failure. The evolved item's grade cannot exceed that of a legendary fragment. Cooldown: ten days.
After reading the attributes, Shi Feng's jaw dropped.
A legendary-grade item!
This was the first time he'd ever seen one in person.
It wasn't a weapon or armor, but in the Divine Realm's vast array of items, auxiliary artifacts like the Holy Chalice were the hardest to come by — even rarer and more valuable than weapons and equipment.
Moreover, judging by the chalice's appearance, its quality could clearly be upgraded further. But it required divine power — something like Divine Crystals.
Yet looking at the radiantly glowing Holy Chupalice, Shi Feng could only laugh bitterly.
Such a powerful item had its seal completely lifted, but he couldn't touch it. And he had no way to control it.
An Eternal Heart — what on earth was that? He'd never even heard of it, let alone know how to obtain one.
