While Shi Feng's attention was fixed on the stone beast sculpture, the others resting and patrolling in the distance stared wide-eyed at the dozens of dropped items raining down from the sky.
"What the hell?! What kind of drop is this?!"
"I don't think I've ever seen this many Epic items and Legendary materials drop at once in my entire life!"
"This is a Level 128 Upper Legendary. If it drops Epic items, they'd be usable all the way to Level 150. I've made so many contributions to the guild and I've only ever gotten a single Epic bracer that's good up to Level 130. This haul could probably deck someone out in full Epic gear…"
……
Even the top experts present couldn't help but covet the items Toddelia had dropped.
How could they not? Throughout the entire Divine Realm, Epic weapons and armor were not exactly rare, but the vast majority of them plateaued around Level 100. Epic equipment that could be used up to Level 120 was exceedingly scarce.
As for Epic equipment usable up to Level 150, even the great superpowers didn't possess more than twenty or thirty pieces.
This wasn't because those superpowers had killed few Legendary bosses above Level 100. The drop rate for Epic equipment usable to Level 150 from such bosses was genuinely abysmal.
Yet now Toddelia had dropped over ten Epic items in one go!
And needless to say, they were all usable up to Level 150. After all, Toddelia was a Level 128 Upper Legendary boss. Based on their experience, Upper Legendary bosses above Level 120 would almost certainly drop Epic equipment that could serve up to Level 150.
Beyond the Epic weapons and armor, the eye-catching Legendary materials were the key ingredients for crafting Epic equipment. In particular, materials for crafting player-suitable Epic gear — once successfully forged, they would invariably produce top-tier pieces.
But Legendary material drops were equally pitiful. Legendary bosses above Level 100 would drop at most sub-Legendary materials, and more commonly just Epic-grade materials.
Yet here, seven Legendary materials had dropped. Meaning, with good fortune, seven top-tier Epic weapons and armor tailored for players could be forged — all usable to Level 150…
Add in the twenty-odd sub-Legendary materials, and those could be used to craft even more top-tier Epic equipment.
In other words, a single Toddelia had dropped over twenty pieces' worth of Level 150 Epic gear — enough to arm two players from head to toe. That was something even the great superpowers couldn't manage right now.
"Truly worthy of being called the Forbidden Zone for humans. A single Upper Legendary boss's drop rivals three or four from the outside world, and the quality is clearly a tier above." Immortal Warheart watched in awe, already mentally planning that once he reached Tier 4, he would absolutely lead his team back here to thoroughly clear the Destruction Mountain Range.
But while everyone else was focused on Toddelia's dropped weapons, armor, and various materials, Shi Feng wasted no time. He walked straight up to a stone beast sculpture barely a meter tall and stowed it directly into his Epic-grade spatial backpack.
As for everything else, in Shi Feng's eyes, nothing was remotely as valuable as this single item in front of him.
Twelve Sacred Beast Statues (Soul-Devouring Beast) — Epic-grade item, unique. A sacred beast stone sculpture crafted by Sericolo Barestan, each one possessing an inconceivable and wondrous power.
Though it was merely an Epic-grade item on the surface, for players of Tier 4 and above, the stone beast sculpture was worth a thousand times more than Legendary items. It would be no exaggeration to call it a guild's ultimate treasure.
Sericolo Barestan was one of the ancient gods of the Divine Realm, also known as the God of Elements. Legend had it that he commanded all magical elements and was a deity of truly immense power.
In the Divine Realm, even divine artifacts were remarkable enough — to say nothing of ancient god relics.
The Twelve Sacred Beast Statues were among Sericolo Barestan's earliest works. For ancient gods and deities, they might be trifling, but for Tier 4 players, they were supreme treasures.
On the surface, the Sacred Beast Statues appeared to be mere decorative ornaments. However, when placed in an area with extremely dense magical energy, they would generate a special fluctuation that allowed players within the space to gain partial perception of the operating principles of one type of magical element.
Though such perception was faint and hazy, it was still vastly superior to ordinary players who could merely sense magical elements and then blindly fumble their way toward understanding their operational rules.
Moreover, the more Sacred Beast Statues one collected, the more types of magical element principles one could perceive, and the stronger that perception became.
In his previous life, a major guild had discovered an ancient god's treasury. They had expended tremendous effort, forming alliances with several superpowers and suffering countless casualties, before finally managing to clear the ancient ruins.
Within that treasury, the superpowers had found Sacred Beast Statues — a considerable number, no fewer than three, and among them was a medium-sized Sacred Beast Statue, which was a Legendary material fragment of terrifying potency.
As a result, that guild had risen meteorically to become one of the Twelve Great Guilds of the Divine Realm.
Now he had merely slain a regional lord and obtained a Sacred Beast Statue. It was simply unbelievable.
"What incredible luck this time. No Legendary material fragments dropped, but besides the Sacred Beast Statue, a complete Legacy Guidance Crystal also appeared. If the superpowers from my previous life knew about this, they'd probably go mad with jealousy." Shi Feng picked up a crimson memory crystal from the ground, secretly delighted.
