Previously, Shi Feng had been laser-focused on passing the trial. Even when he advanced to Abyssal, he'd casually picked out a Level 20 Dark Gold weapon without much thought.
The Temple of War Gods stood as one of the Divine Realm's most powerful factions, its lineage stretching all the way back from the ancient cataclysm to the present day. Just from the powerhouses within the Eternal Throne, Shi Feng had already gotten a thorough taste of its might. And that meant the treasures hoarded inside the Temple of War Gods were beyond imagination.
This Temple exchange system automatically unlocked once a player in the Divine Realm secured First Clear of a hundred-man Dungeon. But even just exchanging for Gold-grade items required an absurdly high Temple reputation. Within the Divine Realm, Temple reputation was notoriously difficult to earn — never mind reaching the level needed to exchange for Epic-grade items.
If not for this mission, Shi Feng would never have had the chance to exchange for any Epic-grade items. He wouldn't even have been able to see them, let alone lay eyes on the legendary Relics he'd never even glimpsed before.
"I wonder what Relics the Temple treasury holds." Shi Feng's heart swelled with anticipation. In the system interface, he set the display to show only Relics.
Two items appeared.
The first was Meteor Shine, a two-handed staff requiring 3,000 Strength and 8,000 Intelligence, with a contribution cost of 200,000 points.
The second was Celestial Frost Snow, a two-handed spear requiring 10,000 Strength and 4,000 Intelligence, with a contribution cost of 250,000 points.
He couldn't see their specific stats, but just the contribution cost and minimum equipment requirements left Shi Feng sighing with nothing but awe.
"Can anyone actually equip these Relics?" he wondered skeptically.
Ten thousand points of Strength — that was world-ending power. Even at his peak, Shi Feng fell far short.
After finishing with the Relics, he switched the display to Epic-grade.
Instantly, the system interface flooded with a massive list of items — over ten thousand of them. Shi Feng wished he could grab them all at once to stock the guild treasury.
If the guild treasury held this many Epic-grade items, taking White River City would be a cakewalk. Forget that — he could dominate Star Moon Kingdom without breaking a sweat. But that was just wishful thinking.
Right now, Shi Feng had 6,800 contribution points, which was only enough to exchange for a single item.
And finding one suitable piece out of over ten thousand options wasn't going to be simple.
"Forget weapons — I'll start with armor." Shi Feng considered his situation. He had the Magic Artifact Abyssal, and the Dark Gold-grade Purgatory Shadow in his hand was more than sufficient. If he wanted to push his strength further, the best move was to replace the Iron Rank and Mythril Rank equipment he was currently wearing.
He had to admit — with this many items, choosing was brutal.
Still, he quickly zeroed in on a few solid chest armors. They offered massive boosts to Strength and Agility, along with a decent bump to Intelligence — exactly what he needed. All of them were Epic-grade equipment usable from Level 20 to Level 80, upgradeable to Level 100.
The first was called Purple Fire Battle Armor, costing 5,000 contribution points. It was primarily a Strength piece with some Intelligence bonuses.
The second was called Ruthless, costing 5,300 contribution points. It was mainly Agility-focused but also came with a generous helping of Intelligence.
The last one was called Blood Light Breastplate, costing 6,000 contribution points. It offered a very balanced spread of Strength, Agility, and Intelligence, and its design was excellent — Shi Feng was quite taken with it.
But if he bought it, exchanging for any other equipment would be out of the question.
"Let me check out some other stuff first."
Shi Feng thought it over and switched to accessories. The minimum equipment requirement was Level 20, but Temple contribution points were precious. He had to spend wisely.
After browsing for a while, Shi Feng suddenly spotted something very familiar.
Ring of Space.
But this version was far more advanced — Epic-grade, leagues ahead of the Iron Rank Ring of Space. It could store up to two thousand item slots and required 4,500 contribution points.
