Chapter 1348: Cosmic Treasure Chest
Chapter 1348: Cosmic Treasure Chest
January 5th, 2018
The foreign invasion of Lu Hai Kong's territory indeed resulted in heavy losses, unprecedented in his experience. However, the gains were equally astonishing and unparalleled.
After taking stock of his spoils, Lu Hai Kong found himself in disbelief at the sheer number of treasure chests and Celestial Blessings.
In the Yellow Emperor City, where the battle had ended swiftly, Zhao Lun and the dynasty's heroic spirits had thoroughly defeated the enemies, bringing Lu Hai Kong incredible rewards.
Killing Nurhaci yielded one Mythical Treasure Chest and three Celestial Blessings.
Slaying Wanyan Min earned him another Mythical Treasure Chest and two Celestial Blessings.
Destroying two Gateway Doors granted him two more Mythical Treasure Chests and two Celestial Blessings.
Soon after, the battle on Gao Shun's side also concluded, and Lu Hai Kong reaped rewards from that front as well.
Repelling the foreign demonic legion of Li Tang and breaking the Gateway Door resulted in one Mythical Treasure Chest and one Celestial Blessing.
Killing Yin Kai Shan further added another Mythical Treasure Chest and a bonus Celestial Blessing.
Next was the battle at Iron Blood City, where Zhao Er defeated Wang Jian's clone, earning him one Mythical Treasure Chest and three Celestial Blessings.
Breaking the Gateway Door there yielded an additional Mythical Treasure Chest and one Celestial Blessing.
In Meng Tian's and Zhang Han's battles, whether it was Yan Liang and Wen U slaying Meng Tian's clone or Dian Wei defeating Zhang Han's clone, the rewards were the same as Zhao Er's victory over Wang Jian—two Mythical Treasure Chests and four Celestial Blessings each.
Even at this point, the rewards were already astounding, but it didn't stop there.
After the battle at Iron Blood City, Zhao Er returned to Yunzhong Prefecture and single-handedly drove back the cavalry brought by Xiang Yu, simultaneously destroying the Gateway Door.
For this feat, he was rewarded with another Mythical Treasure Chest and one Celestial Blessing.
Finally, on Lu Hai Kong's side, Qin Shi Huang, Xiang Yu, Li Si, Zhao Gao, and Meng Yi were all defeated.
Lu Hai Kong had almost achieved what he had set out to do, slaying all except Xu Fu, who was forcibly expelled by the system.
These five heads brought Lu Hai Kong five Mythical Treasure Chests, and due to two of them being clones of foreign monarchs, he received a total of 19 Celestial Blessings.
By this time, Lu Hai Kong had accumulated 18 Mythical Treasure Chests and 41 Celestial Blessings—a truly terrifying haul.
These were just the rewards from this battle; Lu Hai Kong also had two Mythical Treasure Chests from before the conflict, one obtained when suppressing the Yu Emperor Vessel and another from slaying the Three-Headed Barbarian Serpent. He also had nine remaining Celestial Blessings, most of which were used to assist Zhao Er's advancement.
In total, Lu Hai Kong now possessed 20 Mythical Treasure Chests and 50 Celestial Blessings.
As Lu Hai Kong finished tallying his rewards, he felt overwhelmed with joy.
"Twenty Mythical Treasure Chests... How am I supposed to open them all? I'll be exhausted if I open them one by one!"
Just as Lu Hai Kong waved his hand to summon the twenty Mythical Treasure Chests and voiced his happy complaint, the system detected his predicament and promptly issued another notification.
"You have been detected with over ten Mythical Treasure Chests and more than ten Celestial Blessings, meeting the requirements to merge into a Cosmic Treasure Chest..."
"A Cosmic Treasure Chest?"
Lu Hai Kong was momentarily stunned when he saw the system prompt. He had initially thought that the Mythical Treasure Chest was the highest-tier chest, but he never expected there to be a Cosmic Treasure Chest at the very end, and from the looks of it, merging a Cosmic Treasure Chest seemed to require ten Mythical Treasure Chests and ten Celestial Blessings!
"No matter what, let's merge it first!"
With this unexpected surprise, Lu Hai Kong barely hesitated. After his initial shock, he quickly snapped out of it and eagerly clicked his head, as the system had never seemed to shortchange him in this aspect.
Lu Hai Kong, having an extraordinary individual under his command, had once conducted an investigation on treasure chest openings among his extraordinary subordinates. He had always thought himself to be unlucky, but he discovered that others were far less fortunate than him. He hadn't seen anyone else open a chest with better items than he had.
Based on this, Lu Hai Kong confidently handed over the chest to the system for merging, after all, it didn't make sense for the system, which had never shortchanged him before, to do so now.

However, what Lu Hai Kong didn't expect was that the chest merging process was much slower than he anticipated.
He had thought it would only take a few minutes, at most, a dozen or so minutes, but when the merging actually began, Lu Hai Kong was shocked to see a 99-minute countdown on the chest merging interface!
Upon seeing this, Lu Hai Kong, who had originally planned to wait for the two chests to merge and see what they would yield, had no choice but to shift his attention elsewhere.
Of course, at this moment, Lu Hai Kong wasn't going to leave to work and then come back to open the chest. Aside from the hassle, Lu Hai Kong wasn't sure if he would still be in the mood to work, knowing that two chests beyond the Mythical tier were waiting for him. Moreover, Lu Hai Kong did have other rewards to sort through at this time.
It was well known that Lu Hai Kong's gains from the previous foreign invasion were already astonishing, but in fact, his rewards weren't limited to just the eighteen Mythical Treasure Chests and forty-one Celestial Blessings. Aside from those, Lu Hai Kong had some additional spoils!
Of course, this wasn't about the battle experience or the improvement in the levels and strength of the surviving soldiers. What Lu Hai Kong was about to sort through were the spoils of war from that battle, the rewards from the various large and small bosses, or rather, the various domain masters, that Lu Hai Kong and his subordinates had defeated!
This was a significant haul, as there were quite a few domain masters who had perished in that battle.
However, it was unclear whether it was because there were too many domain masters who had died in the foreign invasion or because many of them had appeared in the form of clones, but while there were quite a few domain masters who had perished, the items they left behind were not as abundant as expected.
Especially for the clones of Wang Jian, Meng Yi, and Qin Shi Huang, they only left behind one or two items each, and after searching the entire battlefield, only around twenty items were ultimately handed over to Lu Hai Kong!
And this was what Lu Hai Kong was about to sort through at this moment!
