Chapter 320: Chapter 235: Inventorying the Spoils, Two Upper Class Semi-Divine Artifacts: [Thorny Giant Sword] and [Blood-colored Wail]
At that moment, Zhang Yi, still in his Divine Realm, had no idea that Instructor Li Qiongtian was already using him as an example to encourage the other students.
But even if he did know, he wouldn’t care.
It wasn’t a big deal.
It was now the last day of the Hell Difficulty mission.
On the other side of the Blood-colored Teleportation Gate, the Vampires in the Large Dark Plane showed no signs of activity.
With the Shadow Elf Hassan keeping watch, Zhang Yi wasn’t afraid of a sudden sneak attack from the Vampires.
Zhang Yi’s consciousness was in his Divine Realm, taking stock of his recent gains.
For Zhang Yi,
this haul was more bountiful than ever before!
Although completing a Hell Difficulty mission was incredibly challenging,
and the Clans in his Divine Realm
had to face not only a Vampire Army one hundred thousand strong, but also a Vampire Count and a Vampire Viscount, both with Ninth Level Power,
the rewards were directly proportional to the risks!
After this battle, Zhang Yi had harvested 96,000 Vampire corpses alone!
This was an unprecedented number!
Previously, when the Clans in his Divine Realm performed sacrificial rituals, the most they had ever offered up at one time was just over twenty thousand corpses.
This time, it was four to five times that amount!
And besides being used as offerings,
before the ritual,
the Magic Materials from the Vampires’ bodies themselves had to be put to good use!
Whether it was the pair of sharp fangs in their mouths,
or the pair of bat-like wings on their backs,
both held immense research value for his Elf Mages!
The former could be incorporated into weapons,
not only making the weapons sturdier but also imbuing them with a natural Vampire Rune.
After wounding an enemy with a weapon engraved with a Vampire Rune, the wielder could drain a certain amount of stamina from their foe.
This was a crucial advantage in any level of combat!
As for the latter, the Vampires’ bat-like wings could be sun-dried, ground into a powder, and used to create flight-granting Magic Potions!
There were even rumors in some Small and Medium Magic Planes that these same materials, when dried and powdered, acted as an aphrodisiac!
These were all areas worthy of research for the Elf Mages.
And beyond the Vampire corpses,
during the collapse of the Desolate Valley,
many Vampire Soldiers had followed their instincts and transformed into Blood Bats.
A very small number of them did manage to escape before the valley caved in,
but the vast majority, even as Blood Bats, did not make it out of the collapsing chasm.
Therefore, a massive amount of armor and weapons from the Vampire Regular Army, as well as a portion of the Vampire Elite Army, were all buried in the valley.
This was all good stuff!
With an entire Large Dark Plane providing logistical support, the armor and weapons of these Vampire Regular Army soldiers and Vampire Elites...
even the worst of it was Steel Armor and weapons forged with Magic Metal Powder.
Mind you, this was steel, not iron!
The quality was on par with the Five-star Divine Domain Card, [Standard-Issue Weapons of the Elf Corps], that Zhang Yi had once used.
Even if the physiques of the Vampire Soldiers were different from those of his Elf Clan,
meaning the armor and weapons collected from the dead couldn’t be used directly,
still, this massive quantity of steel weapons and armor, engraved with Magic Runes, wouldn’t rust even if stored away in the Divine Realm for decades.
But if collected and smelted down,
whether for building cities,
reforging into armor and weapons for the Elf and Dwarf Soldiers,
or even for the Goblin Clan to research Magical Technology...
all of these were excellent options!
And besides the Vampires’ bodies, armor, and weapons,
two Vampire Souls had fallen into Zhang Yi’s hands!
One belonged to Count Yin Hai the Vampire, and the other to Vampire Viscount Hercules.
A Clan member who reached Ninth Level Power had already touched the threshold of the Legendary Level.
At this stage, even when a physically-focused, Warrior-type Clan member died, their Soul would not dissipate immediately.
It would persist for at least several hours.
If a Priest under a Divine Spirit were to cast the Ninth Level Light Divine Technique—the Resurrection Technique—at this point,
it would be possible to revive the Clan member!
This was remarkably similar to Effect Four of the [Ancient Heaven] that Zhang Yi had integrated into his Divine Realm this month!
However, Zhang Yi hadn’t yet decided how to use these two Ninth Level Power Souls.
Should he suppress them within the [Ancient Heaven] in his [Natural Divine Kingdom],
wear down their Will,
and then use the effect of the Natural Divine Kingdom to reincarnate them as a Clan member in his Divine Realm?
Or should he wait,
invest Faith Value to have the [Ancient Inheritance Training Camp] develop a Profession like Divine Kingdom Guard,
and then turn these two Souls into Divine Kingdom Guards to bolster his Divine Kingdom’s defenses?
Zhang Yi thought for a moment.
’For now, I’ll suppress these two Souls in the [Ancient Heaven] within the [Natural Divine Kingdom]. Then I’ll use the Power of Faith and Holy Power to slowly wear down the Will within them.’
’Once their Will is obliterated and only the source of their Souls remains, I’ll decide what to do with them!’
’At that point, whether I reincarnate them using the [Natural Divine Kingdom]’s effect or put them to some other use, it will be much safer!’
’In any case, obliterating the Will within the Souls is an unavoidable step.’
Zhang Yi quickly made his decision.
After taking stock of the Vampire corpses and the weapons carried by the Vampire Corps,
