However, what grew on the branches were not fruits, but crystals emitting orange light, with roots-like blood vessels inside the crystals.

[Divine Power Tree]

[Special plants nurtured by scattered divine power acc.u.mulation]

[Divine Power Crystal]

[Type]: Resource

[Level]: 6

Special crystals nurtured by the divine blood tree, possessing unique energy. Level 6 resource!?

To upgrade troops to Tier 6 and heroes to Legendary Tier, he would usually need Level 5 crystal shards.

But this thing called Divine Power Crystal was actually a level 6 resource! There were hundreds of such trees on this island alone, and the Divine Power Crystals on the trees add up to at least thousands of units!

Wasn’t this world supposed to be very barren?

At this moment, the giant turtle spoke.

“These Divine Power Crystals are the product of the scattered divine power here. They are indeed rare resources, but they also contain the curse of the ocean. For ordinary creatures, they are no different from poison.” Ji Chen had a sudden realization, and as he connected the dots, excitement surged within him.

The Divine Power Crystals were poison to other creatures, but they were nothing to him.

He possessed the power of the ocean, equivalent to having the “antidote”.

He plucked a Divine Power Crystal from the tree, and as soon as his palm touched the surface of the crystal, he could feel a special substance, like a snake, rus.h.i.+ng into his flesh along his arm, seemingly wanting to deeply root itself in his body.

However, the substance was dissolved the moment it entered his skin.

At this moment, a prompt sounded in his ear.

“New substance detected: Divine Power Crystal, special troop growth line unlocked in the Military Talent Tree: Divine Power Troop Line.” Ji Chen was stunned for a moment and opened the Military Talent Tree. The tree diagram, obscured by mist, revealed a brand new page, displaying a new tree diagram named Divine Power Troop.

[Divine Power Troop]

[Troops in this line will possess divine power, and all attributes will be multiplied]

[Consuming Divine Power Crystals can transform troops into Divine Power Troops]

[Sea Crystal Wyrm (Tier 6, 3 stars): Consuming 250 units of Divine Power Crystals can transform one Sea Crystal Wyrm into Divine Power Sea Crystal Wyrm (Tier 6, 9 stars)]

[Naga Iron Colossus (Tier 6, 4 stars): Consuming 275 units of Divine Power Crystals can transform one Naga Iron Colossus into Divine Power Naga Iron Colossus (Tier 6, 9 stars)]

Troops with divine power?

Just arrived in the Sea of Death, and it brings him such a surprise?

Ji Chen didn’t hesitate.

“Collect all these Divine Power Crystals for me!”

With a command, the heroes on the back of the sea crown turtle immediately began to collect the Divine Power Crystals on the divine power trees, gradually piling up a small mountain on the empty ground.

As for the so-called divine curse?

They weren’t afraid at all. Ji Chen had already released the power of the ocean, preventing the curse contained in the crystals from causing any harm to them.

Just like fruit trees, some Divine Power Trees bore many crystals, while others bore fewer. Some trees could yield more than a dozen, while others could yield hundreds, and the sizes varied.

This made Ji Chen ponder.

Soon enough, all the Divine Power Crystals on the island were collected and piled up, radiating a sparkling orange light that was incredibly eye-catching. If this were placed outside, it might be mistaken for a pile of orange gemstones.

Without hesitation, Ji Chen waved his hand, and every single Divine Power Crystal was swiftly collected into his bag.

“Ding- You have obtained five thousand units of Divine Power Crystals.” Five thousand units seemed like a lot, but transforming one Sea Crystal Wyrm would require two hundred and fifty units, and with five thousand five hundred units at most, he could only transform twenty Sea Crystal Wyrms. Transforming all Sea Crystal Wyrms would require nearly three hundred thousand units of Divine Power Crystals!

Forming this Divine Power Troop wasn’t easy.

After pondering for a moment, Ji Chen asked the giant turtle, “Do you know the rules for Divine Power Trees to produce Divine Power Crystals?”

The giant turtle shook its head, “The creatures in the Sea of Death barely have time to stay away from the Divine Power Trees, so how could they study the rules for producing Divine Power Crystals?”

Ji Chen’s expression froze for a moment as if realizing the truth.

But these Divine Power Trees seem to be a specialty of the Sea of Death. If he were to collect all the Divine Power Crystals and still couldn’t transform the troops into Divine Power Troops, wouldn’t that be a waste?

If these Divine Power Trees took too long to produce Divine Power Crystals, with too low sustainability and too little yield, it would greatly limit the potential of the Divine Power Troop.

“My Lord, why not conduct experiments here?” Alice suggested.

From the differences in size and quant.i.ty of the born Divine Power Crystals, the Divine Power Trees did bear some resemblance to fruit trees. The problem lay in what nourishment the Divine Power Trees require.

Ji Chen nodded slightly. First, he tried the seawater of the Sea of Death and normal freshwater, but the Divine Power Tree showed no response.

Looking at the rocky texture of the trunk, he stroked his chin. This thing shouldn’t be nurtured by normal substances; it’s probably something else.

Could it be divine power?

But that’s something he couldn’t obtain.

With a spirit of experimentation, Ji Chen tried various resources one by one.

Wood, stone, and the like naturally had no effect.

However, when he threw a few units of crystals, mithril, and adamantium next to the Divine Power Tree, which had been silent and unresponsive, the crown of the tree suddenly swayed. The gray-white roots pulled the crystals into the soil, and the crystals shrank visibly at the speed of ice cubes, turning into liquid and being absorbed into the trunk.

A small thumb-sized divine power crystal quickly grew on the branches.

As it slowly absorbed, its size also gradually increased until the crystals, mithril, and adamantium were completely absorbed, and the thumb-sized divine power crystal became the size of an index finger.

Ji Chen’s eyes were filled with uncontrollable joy.

So, Divine Power Trees could absorb rare resources as nourishment for nurturing divine power crystals!

If crystals and precious metals like mithril could do this, then what about even more advanced spirit crystals?

Eager to test this idea, Ji Chen took out ten units of spirit crystals and threw them all onto the tangled roots of the Divine Power Tree.

As if sensing a more delicious nourishment, several roots of the Divine Power Tree moved, pulling the prey back to the cave to feed the young like a mother beast.

The roots half-buried the spirit crystals into the soil and began to absorb them with a gurgling sound. More divine power crystals emerged from the branches, absorbing energy and growing larger.

However, compared to crystals and mithril, the speed of absorbing spirit crystals was much slower.

Another key point was gained from the experiment: the speed at which the Divine Power Tree absorbed resources was limited, which would affect its ability to nurture divine power crystals.

But this was undoubtedly good news. At least the speed of nurturing divine power crystals was not so slow as to be unacceptable. As long as the number of Divine Power Trees increased and there were sufficient resources for nourishment, they could continuously produce divine power crystals.

Now the only concern was whether the Divine Power Tree could be transplanted to the Crown of the Sea.

When asked about it, the giant turtle still shook its head.

All living beings kept a respectful distance from the Divine Power Tree, so how could they even think about transplanting it?

Were they courting death?

Only Ji Chen, who possessed the power of the ocean and was fearless of ocean curses, dared to entertain such thoughts.

Ji Chen decided to personally conduct an experiment. He instructed a dozen or so Naga Iron Colossus to dig up the soil around a Divine Power Tree. Then, he had them connect a dozen or so Ocean Blood Dragons to the trunk of the Divine Power Tree with ropes and exert force together.

In reality, the Divine Power Tree was not as heavy as its rocky appearance suggested. The dozen or so Ocean Blood Dragons easily lifted it up. Under Ji Chen’s command, they transported it onto the back of the giant turtle and temporarily planted it in an open s.p.a.ce.

Ji Chen nodded slightly.

“Very good, everyone is in motion. Let’s quickly transport these hundreds of

Divine Power Trees onto the turtle’s back!”

“Yes!”

If any living creature from the Sea of Death were to witness this scene, they would surely be shocked.

The Divine Power Tree, regarded as ominous and cursed, was actually being transported by a group of outsiders onto a giant turtle the size of an island as if they were moving treasures.

Even without mentioning anything else, just the hundreds of Divine Power Trees temporarily planted on the turtle’s sh.e.l.l were enough to keep them at a respectful distance.

This was like carrying a bunch of explosives!

Touch it and you die!
