Proving Immortality Starting with Hextech Runes

Without further hesitation, Chen Xu opened the five phantom treasure chests with a slight thought.

The loot obtained this time includes the [Masterpiece Upgrader], the [Book of Emblems], and the [Reward Designator].

And two [Basic Equipment Forging Machines].

Chen Xu glanced at the spoils and thought they were pretty good.

However, the clone of Hansong Sect is running out of time, and if it can't generate a [Disposable Training Dummy] to maintain the clone...

Then I'll have to find an excuse to go out and disappear for a while.

Then, Chen Xu's gaze fell on the newly appeared spoils of war, and he was somewhat surprised.

[Reward Designator]: Allows you to choose one item from the loot you have obtained.

The effect of this item is very simple, similar to a cloner, but Chen Xu felt it was much more convenient than a cloner.

Currently, the [Masterpiece Upgrader] has the widest range of uses and the greatest potential.

After some thought, he decisively used the [Reward Assignment Tool] and selected the [Masterpiece Upgrade Tool].

As for the [Book of Emblems], Chen Xu glanced at it and then temporarily stored it in his storage space.

The effect of this item is described as being able to be activated on any target.

But Chen Xu had already tried it and found that it could only be used on living targets.

If you want to enchant some weapons, that won't work...

Currently, he, Xiao Jin, and Shu Changsheng have all equipped themselves with their respective emblems.

This newly acquired Book of Heraldry has no immediate use.

We can't waste it on a one-time split, can we? That would be too wasteful.

However, once we have a sufficient number of books on emblems, we can try this out...

Next, Chen Xu turned his attention to the two [Basic Equipment Forging Devices] and opened them.

The obtained individual pieces are the Negative Cloak and Chainmail.

Without hesitation, Chen Xu combined the remaining Recurve Bow and Chainmail.

Driven by willpower, the Recurve Bow and Chainmail merged instantly.

A calm and profound aura spread out, and a piece of armor with an ancient and heavy design appeared before him.

[Titan's Resolve]: Increases defense by 20% and attack speed by 10%.

When attacking or taking damage, gain an 4% damage bonus, which can stack up to 25 times.

After stacking to the maximum number of layers, gain an additional 10% damage bonus and immunity to crowd control effects.

With a Scythe of Vyse, the effect of Titan's Resolve can be easily stacked to the maximum.

Moreover, once fully stacked, it not only grants a 110% damage increase but also provides a control immunity buff.

It's important to know that controlling immunity is a concept-level, almost miraculous skill.

Having this immunity effectively neutralizes many of the enemy's insidious tactics, making it invaluable.

Then, with a thought, Chen Xu directly equipped [Titan's Resolve].

As for the [Ghost Rope's Berserker Blade], it has been gathering dust in the storage space for the past period of time.

Because the effect of this equipment is too obvious, the attack speed will stack up and make too much noise, which will easily attract attention.

It is not advisable to reveal this unless it is a life-or-death situation or a secluded environment.

Chen Xu felt it was best to use it as a trump card.

Chen Xu plans to save the remaining piece, the Negative Cloak, to craft a Vampiric Blade to improve his survivability.

After dealing with the equipment, Chen Xu's gaze fell on the two [Masterpiece Upgraders].

He already had a plan in mind for how to allocate the two [Masterpiece Upgraders].

One is used to upgrade the initial Holy Lance, and the other is used to enhance the newly acquired completed equipment, [Titan's Resolve].

As for the Xuanhuang Cauldron, Chen Xu plans to refine it into his natal magic weapon before upgrading it.

Otherwise, once the grade increases after the upgrade, the refining difficulty will rise sharply, and the gains will not outweigh the losses.

The First Holy Spear was already bound to the gray-haired clone, becoming his natal magic weapon in advance, so there was no need for such concerns.

Then, with a thought, Chen Xu sent one of the [Masterpiece Upgraders] to the gray-haired clone, so that both could be used simultaneously.

Instantly, the First Saint Spear hummed, its eerie light swirling, and an even more restrained sharpness emanated from it.

The phantom of "Titan's Resolve" in the main equipment slot also shone brightly.

After the upgrade was complete, Chen Xu, with his gray hair, immersed himself in the mysterious jade slip space, wanting to test the power of the upgraded First Holy Spear.

However, when he tried to condense the phantom of the Primordial Holy Spear, the space did not react at all, just like the situation with the Xuanhuang Cauldron.

Chen Xu could only put it aside for the time being and wait for a suitable opportunity to test its power.

The only annoying thing about the [Masterpiece Upgrader] is that after the upgrade, you can't really feel the specific changes; you can only experience them for yourself...

However, if a Hextech item is upgraded, the information becomes quite clear.

At this moment, Chen Xu turned his attention to the equipment bar.

At this point, the message for [Titan's Resolve] has been completely updated:

[Light Version Titan's Resolve]: Increases defense by 40% and attack speed by 20%.

When attacking or taking damage, gain an 8% damage bonus, which can stack up to 25 times.

After stacking to the maximum number of layers, gain an additional 20% damage bonus and immunity to crowd control effects.

"The effect has doubled across the board..." A glint of light flashed in Chen Xu's eyes.

Not only are the base defense and attack speed bonuses greatly increased, but after stacking all the layers, you will gain a damage increase of up to 220%.

Now, all the loot from the treasure chests has been processed.

Chen Xu then took out the black jade slip containing the second half of the "Ghost Soul Refining Demon Technique" and the Wind Chariot he had exchanged with Wen Tianhe.

At this point, both items have been amplified by the [Dual Purpose] buff.

The contents of the jade slip have changed to the second half of the "Great Canon of the Underworld Demons".

Qingling's soul has been dormant for so long, and she can finally cultivate the complete ghost cultivation technique.

As for the Wind Chariots... Chen Xu didn't expect that the quality would double, rather than the quantity.

The effect of this "dual purpose" is not being triggered very often at present.

Chen Xu also failed to grasp the pattern.

However, the Wind Chaser skill was strengthened this time, which was a pleasant surprise...

However, items enhanced through the [Dual Purpose] method cannot be further enhanced with the [Masterpiece Upgrader].

But Chen Xu was already quite satisfied...

He picked up the Wind Chariot and tried to infuse it with spiritual energy.

As expected, the spiritual energy seemed to sink without a trace, producing no reaction whatsoever.

It seems that without the Bone Clan's magic, this treasure indeed cannot be activated.

Chen Xu then stopped worrying about it and carefully put away the jade slip of the "Great Canon of the Underworld Demons" and the Wind Chariot.

I calmed my mind and prepared to retreat into seclusion to cultivate and digest what I had learned from this trip.

……

Meanwhile, the Meteorite Sea.

After several months, the Nan family's merchant ships, led by the gray-haired Chen Xu, finally sailed out of the raging and chaotic storm sea.

The raging waves ahead gradually subsided, and sunlight pierced through the clouds, shining on the vast and magnificent sea.

In the distance, the outlines of the numerous islands are clearly visible, with boats of all sizes shuttling back and forth, creating a bustling scene.

"Senior!" Nan Longyue's respectful voice rang out from outside the cabin door, filled with excitement and awe.

"We have safely crossed the storm sea and officially entered the inland sea!"

"In a few days, we will arrive at Gui Island, which is also the foundation of my Nan family."

"I wonder if you would be willing to visit my Nan family, senior..."
