Origin Paradise!

"More than 12000 soldiers, around 2000 trainee knights, 45 knights, one ordinary grand knight, one fleet admiral... and one peak grand knight."

Despite the presence of the combined fleet, Caribbe Port still had a formidable garrison. It was the Wyatt family's stronghold, and the Grand Knight was likely connected to the Duke's family. His existence meant that any plan to launch a direct assault had failed.

Jiang He continued forward underwater, occasionally raising his palm to take a breath of fresh air from his personal sanctuary. According to Wuhe's intelligence, a normal item pouch would expand to the same size as a domain after a living being ascends to the Gold level. Rock Town was clearly an exception by chance. If he successfully ascended to godhood in the future, then the sanctuary would evolve into a divine kingdom.

"I probably know this place better than the port's designers do now."

A few hundred steps later, in the hidden reefs, a huge pipe, about the height of two people, appeared in front of Jiang He. Hot seawater filled with the smell of gunpowder kept gushing out. He stepped inside, his powerful physique moving forward at a steady pace. If nothing unexpected happened, the end of the pipe should be the white powder processing plant.

White gunpowder has high energy, high flammability, and high explosiveness. It needs to be cooled with cold seawater during processing. Due to the delicate nature of the process, the profession of gunpowder handler has emerged, which involves relatively complex techniques.

Jiang He reached the end of the pipe, where scalding seawater was pouring down from above, and in front of him was a stone wall.

"Above is the gunpowder factory."

"Go straight ahead and you'll find the port's treasure trove."

Jiang He took out the Long-Hate Dragon Spear and gently broke through the stone wall.

Bang!

The stone wall shattered, and seawater surged in.

Jiang He suddenly understood.

This is a natural cave hidden in the mountain. The interior of the cave is extremely spacious, with a dome that resembles an independent sky. A strong smell of sulfur permeates the air, and the ground is covered with thick layers of gold coins and various rare jewels, which emit a mesmerizing glow under the dim light.

Deep within, on a massive stone platform, lurked a colossal dragon with scales as hard as steel, shimmering with a metallic sheen. Each breath was accompanied by a howling wind carrying the scent of sulfur, yet it appeared as if it were dead, its eyes tightly shut, its limbs gripping the edge of the stone platform with sharp claws, leaving deep scratches.

A silver-level elite wind dragon.

This creature was not in good condition at the moment. Its body was covered with strange, prismatic spikes, and blue dragon blood was overflowing from it, flowing along the patterns on the stone platform and converging into the blood pool below. The dragon blood in the pool was boiling, and the water and impurities were gradually stripped away, leaving only the purest essence. Due to the prolonged squeezing, the blood flowing from the dragon's body had become just drops.

Upon seeing this, Jiang He recalled the superior dragon blood body he had obtained before his transformation, and he felt an instinctive craving for the essence of the blood pool.

And the moment the seawater rushed in.

The wizard apprentices responsible for providing nourishment to the dragon all turned around, and the leading archmage had already made his move. His body temperature was no different from that of an ordinary person, or even colder, but his life level was indeed that of an ordinary being from the Silver Age.

All the wizards present were wearing robes of the Holy Blood Church.

Chapter 295 Silver Conversion

Port Karibibu, a nest deep in the mountains.

Unbeknownst to them, a new realm had silently unfolded.

Faced with the intruders, the leading high wizard immediately retaliated, manifesting his true form derived from meditation, which appeared as a complex rune several meters in diameter.

To become a wizard on par with a knight, one must control one's mental power through meditation and create wizard runes in one's mind. Once a certain number are accumulated, they can be combined to create the true form of a wizard.

This true form is equivalent to the solidification of witchcraft, activated with lightning speed, and its power far exceeds that of ordinary witchcraft.

Within the Church of the Holy Blood, wizards typically choose Blood Explosion or Blood Summoning as their primary targets.

boom!

The massive and complex runes released a blood-red light.

At the same time, several wizards and more than twenty wizard apprentices on the scene also launched rune magic attacks. Although they could not materialize their true forms like the great wizards, their power was still considerable.

Streaks of blood shone on someone's body.

One by one, blood-red bats emerged from the void.

Jiang He heard the boiling and rushing sound of the blood in his body, like a fuse about to burn out, and an explosion was imminent.

But suddenly.

His body was engulfed in jet-black flames, the embers of which flowed into every vein, burning away all the blood, and the blood-red light, like maggots clinging to bones, was gradually extinguished.

Jiang He took a step forward, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

Bang bang bang!

The seven wizards and wizard apprentices who blocked the way were almost simultaneously blown into a bloody mist.

"Magic Shield!"

A huge shield, resembling a crystal, appeared.

The great wizard's expression changed drastically. A magic shield of great wizardry level was raised in front of him. As a commonly used and reliable defensive ability, this shield could withstand the fierce attack of an ordinary great knight for a full minute, and the energy consumption was quite low.

Click!

A slender, pale hand pierced through the magic shield, gripped the prey's head, and then violently crushed it.

With the great wizard dead, and facing a speed-type great knight whose strength far surpasses his own, his fate is self-evident.

"The elder is dead!"

"Run away!"

The wizard and his apprentices fled in terror.

Jiang He skillfully drew upon his heart's blood, upgrading his Supreme-grade Blood Poison to LV8.

"Ok?"

Jiang He suddenly turned around, her eyes pure white, and stared at a young wizard apprentice.

Inside the body, a high-quality foreign soul is rapidly devouring the original owner.

Perhaps sensing the enemy's gaze, the soul-devouring abruptly stopped. Throughout the entire process, the young apprentice, who was running wildly, was completely unaware that his soul had been paralyzed by the outsider.

"Soul transfer...or rather, possession?"

Jiang He charged past, this time using the Long-Hate Dragon Spear.

As the young apprentice died, a sharp, piercing wail echoed through the lair.

I curse you to a terrible death!

The warrior's spirit executed the great wizard's soul, but the power generated by the soul's shattering transformed into a curse that descended upon the enemy.

[Warning: You have been attacked by a blood curse]

[Note: Your Chosen One status has exempted you from this penalty]

Jiang He calmly poured withered energy into the simple domain above his head. The scattered wizards and apprentices quickly turned into skeletons. Compared to the straightforward knights, the wizards' methods were more unpredictable.

Before the pool of blood, the dragon opened its eyes. Since the silver wills could communicate with each other, it did not need to understand human language, and a deep, majestic roar resounded.

"Release me from my bonds, and I will grant you the power of my people."

puff!

Jiang He plunged his spear into the torso of the wind dragon, and dragon blood trickled out, flowing along the intricate patterns on the stone platform and gathering in the blood pool.

The dragon raised its head and let out a deafening roar of pain, its voice echoing within the simple domain, its rage uncontrollable.

"You're no different from these wizards; you're all vermin!"

puff!

"You despicable thief, you covet my power!"

puff!

There was no answer, only a series of bloody holes appearing. Compared to prolonged exploitation, this behavior was more like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

The dragon fell silent, collapsing heavily onto the stone platform, glaring angrily and hatefully at someone, quietly awaiting its death.

In just a few minutes, the dragon's eyes dimmed completely, and blood flowed from the thousands of gun barrels all over its body.

Jiang He stepped into the blood pool, and the surging blood flowed along the Long-Hate Dragon Spear into the Overlord Blood Body, strengthening the dragon blood body components contained within. A hot and boiling feeling filled every corner of his body, his skin cracked and peeled off, and the newly grown parts were more resilient, with a warm and lustrous luster like jade.

[Agility: 19→21]

The evolution ended, the blood pool shattered, and Jiang He got up, collected the remains of the wind dragon in front of him and stuffed them into his portable sanctuary, intending to use them as key food to enhance Zhuang Ya's foundation.

But the moment the dragon disappeared, the stone platform suddenly exploded, and the hidden wizarding methods sounded an alarm. A strange, sharp sound emanated from the lair, causing everyone in the entire port of Kalib to turn their heads.

Boo!

Jiang He canceled the domain and returned to the tunnel by the same route, but instead of leaving, he went up to the white gunpowder production factory.

The soldiers, busy at work, were all bewildered, while the sharp sound continued to spread in their ears.

Jiang He raised a simple domain and then closed it. In the back and forth, the silver will locked onto the target. Tens of thousands of white gunpowder barrels in the factory disappeared and were all stuffed into his portable sanctuary. In fact, he could even forcibly stuff beings whose wills did not exceed his into it.

Boom!

The dome above the factory cracked.

"You're asking for death! How dare you invade Hong Kong!"

A middle-aged nobleman clad in armor descended from the sky, wielding a longsword, his face contorted in a ferocious expression, exuding the aura of a peak Grand Knight.

William Wyatt, the Duke's most outstanding eldest son, has now effectively taken over most of the power in the territory, and no family member is his rival.

Upon seeing the intruders, William Wyatt felt an uncontrollable rage.

The family collaborated with the Holy Blood Church in hopes of finding a way to break through the title of Knight. He and the Duke worked together with the Pope to capture a giant overseas dragon that was originally at the peak of the Grand Knight level, but they paid a huge price.

If it weren't for the Pope Black Marquis's formidable combat prowess, the operation would very likely have failed.

At this moment, the dragon's aura completely disappeared. William had already sensed something. He instantly burst forth and appeared in front of the enemy, slashing down with his sword, full of violence and ferocity.

hum!

The sword strike destroyed a stone wall more than ten meters thick, causing the entire factory and the surrounding area to tremble violently. The combat power of the peak Grand Knight seemed unstoppable.

But the sword only obliterates the afterimage.

call!

With a strong wind blowing, Jiang He activated various acceleration modes and returned to the nest ahead of time. Now that the dragon and the gunpowder barrel were all taken, the most urgent task was naturally to run away.

The nest tunnel was long, but fortunately he was faster. William charged through the rubble and arrived at the nest, his eyes fixed on the figure galloping away on horseback. He gritted his teeth and chased after him.

However, the few hundred meters passed in the blink of an eye, and William's expression gradually turned to astonishment. He realized that he was actually slower than that bastard.

"An elite Grand Knight specializing in speed, and one of the best who is just one step away from the top."

"What is their background? Could it be related to the battle on the front lines?"

"How is Father...?"

A variety of thoughts raced through William's mind. If the enemy came from the naval front, it meant that his own situation was not optimistic.

The two sides engaged in a chase and a flight.

A notification sound suddenly rang in Jiang He's ears.

[Hint: You have met the basic requirements for Silver-ranked beings]

[Hint: The Life Transformation Quest is now available]

[Mission Objective: Sololy eliminate 20 peak Bronze-level enemies in a 1v1 situation]

[Quest Rewards: Silver Body Transformation, Silver Energy Sublimation]

[Note: The conversion quest applies to all Bronze-level peak beings who have reached the basic requirements.]

"No, the plan has changed!"

The high-speed wind whipped against his face, and Jiang He rarely showed a look of astonishment. He reviewed the mission requirements again and again, and the target was indeed at the peak of Bronze level, which is also the Knight level.

"If they were ordinary beings from the Silver Age, twenty would be a bit difficult..."

Jiang He thought to himself, killing a peak Bronze level expert is as easy as killing a chicken.

"What's there to worry about? The Origin is notoriously rigid; there's no way there could be a trap."

Lilith appeared beside him and laughed, "To kill 20 peak Bronze level opponents in a one-on-one fight means that this being is quite outstanding among those of the same level and has no corresponding weaknesses. It is enough to deal with all kinds of opponents and naturally has the qualifications for advancement and transformation. You are the overlord of the era, but having too high a vision is not necessarily a good thing."

"understood."
