Chapter 568: The Upgraded Monster Trans.m.u.tation System
Time pa.s.sed by quickly, and one week flew by in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Feng picked up a red-colored s.p.a.ce Crystal Core as his face darkened.
Only now did he realize he had missed one crucial question.
And that was how would he leave this place.
The Efreet had only told them to destroy the blue ice crystals when they entered this place. He had also promised them rewards. But he never said how they could escape from this place under the Yin-Yang Lake.
Only after giving it some more thought did Jiang Feng realize that they were deceived by the Efreet.
After the Efreet got them in, regardless of whether they destroyed the blue ice crystals, they would be sealed within this place. If they wanted to leave, they would need to keep on destroying the blue ice crystals and get the scarlet red s.p.a.ce Crystal Cores and master the s.p.a.ce Tunnel skills.
And the more blue ice crystals they destroyed, the more benefits the Efreet would gain.
That meant that the Efreet had never even considered if they could leave the Yin-Yang Lake alive. That also meant that all his promises and the rewards were all lies.
It could also be said that the Efreet found himself some labor and the type that he did not have to pay for.
“Huff… Looks like I’ve been tricked. It’s all my fault for being tempted by the s.p.a.ce Crystal Cores,” Jiang Feng sighed. He then shook his head and muttered, “It’s fine. I have gained a lot of benefits here as well. At least I now have 15,510 slivers of the Laws of s.p.a.ce, and I even learned another two s.p.a.ce Skills!”
He had been killing the Giant Abyssal Catfishes and destroying the blue ice crystals non-stop for the past week.
He had also been consuming the blue s.p.a.ce Crystal Cores and the red s.p.a.ce Crystal Cores, and that had quickly increased the rate of him obtaining slivers of the Laws of s.p.a.ce.
He had already managed to gather 15,510 slivers of the Laws of s.p.a.ce in one week’s time.
Not only that, other than s.p.a.ce Slash skill, he had learned two more s.p.a.ce skills. They were Spatial Barrier and s.p.a.ce Warp.
Spatial Barrier: Greater Sacred Skill. After usage, a 1.5 meter wide Spatial Barrier would appear in front of the user. The more slivers of the Laws of s.p.a.ce the user has, the wider the barrier is. Cooldown of 5 minutes.
s.p.a.ce Warp: Greater Sacred Skill. After usage, the s.p.a.ce within 1.5* will be warped. The more slivers of the Laws of s.p.a.ce the user has, the wider the warp is. Cooldown of 1 minute.
T/L Note: The author didn’t give a measurement, so I’m not sure if it’s in meters or some other measurement.
Both the skills were support skills and did not have much damage potential, they were very useful in preserving his life, however.
He also noticed that the higher level his skills were, the lower the cooldown.
Especially his s.p.a.ce Warp skill. Its cooldown was only 1 minute.
Since that was the case, he could use it multiple times in a battle.
“I wonder how many slivers of the Laws of s.p.a.ce do I need to learn the s.p.a.ce Tunnel skill. Ah well. I’ll just keep on killing then. Since I can’t get out anyway…”
Ding. System Prompt: The Monster Trans.m.u.tation System’s upgrade is completed!
As he was about to rush toward the next Giant Abyssal Catfish, the system’s voice suddenly rang in his ears.
“Haha! The Monster Trans.m.u.tation System has finally been upgraded! It’s been quite some time, but it finally finished upgrading! I wonder what kind of changes there would be?!” Originally, the Monster Trans.m.u.tation System only needed one week to complete its upgrade. But it had been extended for so long and he was originally quite annoyed with it.
But since the upgrade was successful, he was still looking forward to what functions the Monster Trans.m.u.tation System had afterward.
He quickly opened up the Monster Trans.m.u.tation System’s panel with excitement.
Monster Trans.m.u.tation Host: Jiang Feng
Rank: Greater Divine Beast s.h.i.+fter Emperor Bloodline

Pa.s.sive Skill: When attacking a monster, 5% chance of triggering the Trans.m.u.te Monster skill.
Trans.m.u.te Monster: Trans.m.u.te – May trans.m.u.te any monster. Monsters that don’t resist increases the success rate by 80%. 15% chance of trans.m.u.ting Evolution Pills and Sacred Blood. 10% chance of trans.m.u.ting a Demesne Crystal Core. The more powerful the monster is, the higher the chance of failure. Cooldown of 20 seconds.

Divine Refinement: Can be used to refine monsters’ bloodlines and materials’ purity. Has a fixed chance of refining a Pearl of Law. Cooldown of 20 seconds.
Lottery: Gain two lottery chances per evolution.
“It can now trans.m.u.te Demesne Crystal Cores?!” Jiang Feng became excited when he looked at the upgraded Monster Trans.m.u.tation System.
He did not expect that after upgrading the system, his Monster Trans.m.u.tation System could trans.m.u.te the Demesne Crystal Cores.
The Demesne Crystal Cores did not only point to the s.p.a.ce Crystal Cores but it consisted of any of the other three thousand Demesnes.
If that was the case, he could even gather all 3,000 Demesnes by himself in the late game. And at that time, his power would become extremely terrifying.
Other than him being capable of trans.m.u.ting the Demesne Crystal Cores, he had another pa.s.sive skill, and his Refine skill had been upgraded to the Divine Refinement skill.
The Divine Refinement Skill could allow him to obtain a Pearl of Law from refining bloodlines and materials. While it was not as overpowering as Trans.m.u.te Monster, it had at least become much more practical.
Of course, if he wanted to get the Pearl of Law, the bloodlines and ingredients that he had refined must possess some Laws within them in the first place. His guess was that only the bloodline from Great Saints and ingredients of equivalent level could be used to extract them.
“While I can’t use any other skills other than s.p.a.ce skills in this place, the Monster Trans.m.u.tation System’s pa.s.sive skill could be triggered without activation. Then, it should increase the speed of me killing the monsters. I should go and try the pa.s.sive skill!” Jiang Feng said and then quickly headed toward the Giant Abyssal Catfish.
After getting into the Giant Abyssal Catfish’s mouth and into his head, he did not wait to observe any simulation of the Laws of s.p.a.ce within it. He immediately began to attack.
Since he had only learned the s.p.a.ce Warp skill after he had gained around 15,000 slivers of Laws, he could not learn any new skills if he did not get more slivers of the Laws of s.p.a.ce. That was why he directly attacked it.
Whoos.h.!.+
Only after hacking it 30 plus times did he trigger the Monster Trans.m.u.tation System’s skill. The Giant Abyssal Catfish’s body was immediately consumed by fire. In the next second, a s.p.a.ce Crystal Core appeared in front of Jiang Feng as well as a pearl filled with lots of carvings.
s.p.a.ce Pearl of Law: Slot into a piece of equipment to allow the Artifact Spirit to gain control of 5 slivers of the Laws of s.p.a.ce.
‘Hmm? I didn’t expect that the Pearl of Law is to be slotted into a piece of equipment. Can it be that the Artifact Spirits within the equipment can master Laws as well?’ Jiang Feng thought to himself as he was slightly stunned as he looked at the Pearl of Law’s description.
“If the Artifact Spirits within the equipment can really master Laws, then it is possible that the equipment themselves could have Demesne skills, or even master Demesne themselves. Equipment that has mastered the Demesnes would be extremely overpowered. I wonder if I could develop one!” After getting a taste of it, he was also quite wanting of the Pearls of Law, his sight fell on another Giant Abyssal Catfish.
He then continued with his attack.
***
At this stage, out of all the players that had entered the Yin-Yang Lake, only three were still left. They were Jiang Feng, Qiu Si and Xuanyuan Qi. All the other players had already died in the Yin-Yang Lake.
The Efreet stood at the edge of the Yin-Yang Lake and looked around the burning desert. A deep smile appeared on his face. “The darkness has already been halved. I didn’t expect that there would be three such powerful creatures among them. No matter. They only need to add in more work, and I can then turn this place into a plane of lava. And then, all I need to do is to destroy the rest of the Giant Abyssal Catfishes, and I could then master this entire dimension. And then, I would become even stronger!”
