I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 729 Silver Slingshot

The black and white energy transformed by the golden scissors kept shuttling back and forth in the space, twisting around the dragon balls. By the sixth day, all seven dragon balls had been shattered and absorbed by the devouring space. At this time, Zhang Chen's experience value had accumulated to 700 billion!
Looking at the 700 billion points on the Gold Finger board, Zhang Chen's heart was bleeding. If he had used this to improve his Sun Fire, he would have worked incredibly hard and would have surpassed the twelfth level and entered the realm of Fruit. But now he had to use all of it to improve his auxiliary skills. How could he not be heartbroken?
"With 700 billion points, I still need 300 billion to upgrade the authority of the Wood Element. Where should I fill this 300 billion point gap?" Zhang Chen glanced at the Ascension Pool, but was reluctant to give it up. After all, the Ascension Pool can allow people to transform into immortal bodies, which will be of great use to his younger brothers and sisters in the future.

He swept the golden shears and the Yin-Yang grinding disc, and finally placed it on the silver slingshot: "I have swallowed all the seven marbles, leaving only a lonely silver slingshot. It will be of little use if I keep it, so I might as well refine it at this time. This silver slingshot can be matched with seven dragon balls, and its material must be extraordinary. Maybe it can make up for my points."

Zhang Chen thought about it and moved the silver slingshot to his own devouring space. Then he saw Zhang Chen mobilize the devouring power. However, at this time, the power of the devouring space was struggling to shake the silver slingshot. The silver slingshot was as still as a mountain, and the devouring space could only devour a trace of its energy, which was a thousand times slower than refining the dragon ball.

When the dragon balls are refined by the swallowing space, at least one particle can be refined. But when it comes to the silver slingshot, all that can be refined is the silver slingshot's qi.

"It will take a long time to refine this silver slingshot. How can I wait that long?" Zhang Chen became anxious when he saw the silver slingshot was as still as a mountain. He quickly urged the golden scissors to strangle it. However, the golden scissors only left a shallow mark on the silver slingshot. It would take an unknown amount of time to split and transform the silver slingshot.

"I can't rely on the golden scissors! I wonder what material this silver slingshot is made of, but it's so hard." Zhang Chen put away the golden scissors and carefully sensed the silver slingshot with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

His eyes moved away from the bow of the slingshot and fell on the elastic line of the slingshot. After a moment, he said with surprise: "It's actually made of dragon tendons!"

Thinking about the seven dragon balls again, Zhang Chen had already made some guesses in his mind: "It turned out that they were made by combining the tendons of seven real dragons of unknown realms, and then assisted by the mysterious golden thread."

"The slingshot line is much less hard than the body of the slingshot, so I can refine it first. These are the dragon tendons of seven real dragons of unknown levels. Even if they are not as essence as the dragon balls, they should contain a lot of points, right?" Zhang Chen thought thoughtfully.

Just as all kinds of thoughts were flashing through Zhang Chen's mind, the golden scissors suddenly flew out, turning into a black and white dragon, and twisted the bowstring, causing the bowstring to break into two pieces. It then twisted again, but in a moment the bowstring had turned into powder, and was then swallowed up and refined by the space.

Half a day later, as the bowstring of the slingshot was refined, Zhang Chen's golden finger points increased again, from 700 billion to 800 billion.

"It takes seven dragon tendons to gather 100 billion points. Isn't it too little?" Zhang Chen muttered to himself.

But if you think about it, it’s not too outrageous. The essence of the dragon is divided into three parts. One part is gathered in the dragon ball, another part is gathered in the dragon soul, and another part is gathered in its flesh and blood.

Dragon tendons are just a part of the flesh and blood, and being able to gather 100 billion points is already a lot.

"I now have 800 billion points, and there are only 200 billion left to reach 1 trillion. It seems that I can only pin my hope on the bow body of the slingshot to gather these 200 billion points. But the bow body of the slingshot is a tough nut to crack, and my golden scissors can't cut it. How can I refine it quickly?" Zhang Chen looked at the slingshot of Lao Shen Zai Ye in the devouring space, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

"Hey, since this silver slingshot is made of metal..." When Zhang Chen was sensing the silver slingshot, he suddenly felt something in his own gold authority and knew some of its information.

“This slingshot is a kind of mithril from the creation period. After being tempered by water, wind and fire during the creation of the world, it fell into the hands of a powerful figure, who then tempered it with a secret method to form the material of this slingshot.” ​​Zhang Chen suddenly realized.

"Since it is of the gold attribute, it is within the scope of my gold authority and should be subject to my authority." Zhang Chen suddenly became alert at this moment, and as he thought about it, the gold authority was activated. He saw that the silver-white slingshot gradually decomposed and turned into countless tiny particles, which were scattered in the devouring space.

"I can indeed use the power of the Gold Element to suppress it!" Zhang Chen was overjoyed when he saw this scene.

However, even if it is broken down into particles, it is still very difficult for Zhang Chen to use the Devouring Space to refine it. These metal particles cannot be easily refined by the Devouring Space.

Zhang Chen was not flustered by this, but directly activated the gold element authority, imitating the way he refined the Tongtian Jianmu before, and suppressed the gold element law. As his gold element authority was activated, the gold element law of the mithril itself was suppressed, and it devoured the space and refined it again, and the speed was indeed greatly increased.

"But it's not good. Even if my Devouring Space can refine the mithril now, it will probably take ten days or half a month. By then, my body in the material world will probably have rotted away." Zhang Chen felt worried. "Now the only thing I can hope for is the power of the blood path in my body. I hope the power of the blood path can keep my body from rotting away."

Zhang Chen had no other choice at this point. He could only hope that the Blood Road would be successful. Otherwise, he would be in real trouble. Once his body was destroyed, he would be useless even if he had the means to resurrect from the dead.

Time passed by little by little, and with the flow of time, ten days passed in a flash. Finally, at a certain moment, after all the metals had been refined by the devouring space, Zhang Chen's devouring space shook slightly, and the entire devouring space became empty.

Zhang Chen hurriedly checked his own Golden Finger page, with a look of great joy in his eyes: "Not bad! Not bad! The experience value has increased by 200 billion, and my points at this moment just make up for 1 trillion." Zhang Chen looked at the Golden Finger page, and was overjoyed. Finally, there were no unexpected problems, and he successfully collected enough points to upgrade the authority of the Wood Element.

Then Zhang Chen didn't even think twice and clicked directly on the Gold Finger page. The next moment, the Gold Finger page twisted for a while, and then it refreshed:
[Authority of the Wood Element (Level 0): Reverse the seed of the flower*Body of plants*Rooted in the earth*Seize the essence (1000000000000/)]

【Points: 1000000000000】

【Upgradeable】

"A full one trillion points! If I upgrade the Sun's True Fire, it will push me to a very high level." There was a hint of regret in Zhang Chen's eyes, but he still clicked it without hesitation.

Then the Gold Finger page changed:
【Name: Zhang Chen】

[Authority of the Wood Element (Level 0): Reverse Peanut Seed* Plant Body* Rooted in the Earth* Seize the Essence* Equipment (10000000000000/)]

[Note 1: You gain equipment skills]

[Note 2: You can melt the obtained Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots into your own Wood Element Authority, so that your Wood Element Authority gains incredible power. Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots can replace points for upgrades.]

【Points: 0】

Zhang Chen's eyes fell on the Golden Finger board, looking at the series of numbers after the Wood Element's authority was upgraded, and he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air: "Ten trillion points, this is simply a bottomless pit, who is willing to fill the points into this bottomless pit."

At least Zhang Chen can't do it!

Zhang Chen decided that he would never upgrade his Wood Element authority unless necessary.

Then Zhang Chen's eyes fell on the final embellishment of the "equipment", which was a newly developed skill.

As the information on the Golden Finger page came over, Zhang Chen felt the information coming from the Golden Finger page, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes: "The wood attribute authority is really awesome! As long as I obtain the spiritual roots of heaven and earth, I can refine it into the wood attribute authority and increase the wood attribute authority."

A ray of emerald green light seemed to appear in Zhang Chen's soul. At this moment, the light was empty. Zhang Chen only needed to put the spiritual roots of heaven and earth he had obtained into the light to bless it.

After being equipped with the spiritual roots of heaven and earth, the power of light will be infinitely enhanced, and the authority will be increased according to the increase in the spiritual roots of heaven and earth.

Of course, once equipped with the Spiritual Root of Heaven and Earth, it will be deeply bound to the Spiritual Root of Heaven and Earth. Under the illumination of the light of wood-attributed authority, the growth of the Spiritual Root of Heaven and Earth will be suspended.

Because the authority of wood attribute will plunder the power of the innate spiritual roots to enhance itself, it will lead to an inversely proportional increase between the two.

However, Zhang Chen only took a look at the wood attribute authority and did not pay any more attention to it. After all, he was not a fool. Why would he equip the spiritual roots of heaven and earth with the wood attribute authority?
"I have now upgraded to the sixth level. I don't know if I can resist that strange power and escape the calamity. It all depends on this chance! If I fail, I won't be able to collect 10 trillion points. Do I need to smelt magical tools like the Golden Scissors and the Ascension Pool by then?" Zhang Chen felt a little nervous. The next moment, he mobilized his own ice field, and saw countless snowflakes dancing in the ice field, as if time was flowing backwards. They crossed the void along some mysterious trajectory and instantly reorganized into Zhang Chen's appearance.

Then Zhang Chen's soul returned to his body, completing his rebirth.

At this time, a mysterious power began to surge in Zhang Chen's body again, invading Zhang Chen's flesh and trying to turn him into dry bones.
