Mechanical God Emperor

Chapter 216



216 – The Power of Extraordinary Plants

Yang Feng took out a black seed, flicked it, and sent it into the earth. Next, he silently recited an incantation, pointed at the black seed, and cast the level-1 spell Extraordinary Plant Catalysis. A green magic light fell on the black seed.

The black seed suddenly produced numerous transparent roots, which plunged into the earth and madly extracted the nutrients in the earth, extraction traces of a faintly discernible red substance.

The black seed sprouted and grew rapidly into a five-meter-tall tree thanks to the power of the spell. The big tree bore watermelon-sized fruits, which strangely hanged from the branches. The fruits looked as if they would fall to the ground from a gust of wind.

Yang Feng cast a Mage Hand, exerted some strength, and plucked a watermelon-sized fruit from a branch.

Pop! The fruit’s peel opened and some transparent liquid spilled, revealing a blood-red, hard as steel fruit underneath.

Yang Feng looked at the blood-red, hard as steel fruit and his eyes flashed with a scorching radiance: “Divine blood steel, one of the top materials for forging Legend rank secret treasures. With divine blood steel, so long as there’s enough of it, then I can forge a large number of Legend rank battle robots.”

The black seed was called the power purification seed, it was an extraordinary plant that a Starry Sky Warlock, a genius researcher of extraordinary botany, cultivated on the Turandot Subcontinent in order to solve the dilemma with the blood of powerhouses, who fought fierce battles, contaminating the land in the ancient times.

The power purification seed could survive in places contaminated by the blood of formidable beings, absorb the residual power of the blood, and condense it into a magic mineral. In places contaminated by divine blood, the power purification seed would give birth to divine blood steel and in places contaminated by demonic blood, the seed would give birth to demonic blood steel. Whether it was divine blood steel or demonic blood steel, they were both top materials for forging Legend rank secret treasures. Land that had the power of divine blood absorbed from it would be purified and turned into fertile land.

The reason why there was no scorched land left by fierce battles of gods and demons on the Turandot Subcontinent was due to the power purification seed.

However, due to the power of time and the lack of necessity, the number of these seeds had gradually declined until being nearly extinct. Yang Feng found several of these seeds in a store room of the Black Dragon Tower and then unceremoniously took them for his own. Originally, he intended to use them in the Great Cloud Dynasty, yet unexpectedly, he got a chance to use them in the Feisuo Plane’s Red Earth Wasteland.

Yang Feng took out a Legend rank dagger, stabbed at the red fruit, operated his power and erupted with level-2 Warlock rank life force in a flash, and cut the blood-red fruit inch by inch, revealing 19 black seeds inside.

He revealed a smile when he saw the 19 black seeds and pressed the dimensional crest on his chest. A number of mechanical locusts flew out, pounced at the purification tree, and gnawed at the fruits growing from the purification tree.

The fruits gnawed on by the mechanical locusts fell from the tree and revealed the red flesh.

With it as the center, the purification tree purified an area of 20 meters in diameter of the red earth. The purified earth shed its red color and adopted a fertile, black color. At the same time, the purification tree formed 10 watermelon-sized fruits.

From the black seed, Yang Feng got 10 pieces of divine blood steel, weighing 100 pounds each, and 190 purification seeds.

After repeating the same action 9 more times, Yang Feng got 1,881 purification seeds.

Once Yang Feng pressed the dimensional crest on his chest, a dense swarm of mechanical bees flew out, took the 1,881 purification seeds, and planted them every 20 meters per seed in the plot of land that he designated for cultivation.

After the purification seeds were planted, Yang Feng flipped his hand and the Legend rank magic staff rain scepter appeared in his hand. He pointed it at the sky and launched the rain scepter’s attached Legend rank meteorological spell Torrential Rain.

A blue magic radiance merged into the sky and attracted water elemental particles from all over, condensing them into dark clouds.

The dark clouds stretched for quite a few kilometers. Before long, fine rain fell to the ground along with a rustling noise.

Yang Feng watched the sky, musing: “Sure enough, the might of a water-attributed spell cast in such a dry place is unsatisfactory.”

Different spells cast in different environments would exhibit different might. Few Legend Wizards could cast a Fireball underwater, let alone ordinary Wizards. In places where the concentration of elemental particles was thin, even spells couldn’t be cast. This was the limitation of Wizards.

Magic towers and Warlock towers could absorb elemental particles drifting in the space and converge then in the elemental pool. Therefore, spells cast in Warlock towers were much more powerful than spells cast in ordinary places.

In the Red Earth Wasteland, which was a place without rivers, lakes, and ponds, the concentration of water elemental particles was extremely thin. Therefore, the might of the Legend rank meteorological spell Torrential Rain was reduced to an extreme degree.

“That's a spell cast by Master Ian!”

“Amazing! Master Ian can even call the wind and summon the rain, truly amazing!!”

“…”

In the Miracle City, the slaves cheered when they saw the rain, worshiping Yang Feng even more.

Looking at the rain in the sky, Clive revealed a smile and said joyously: “Master Ian is so powerful!!”

Lina’s eyes, however, flashed with worry: “But even if it’s Master Ian, he also can’t cast such a spell every day, right? The cost of such a powerful spell must be extraordinary!”

With the water from the rain, the purification seeds gradually grew roots, which penetrated into the earth. Once they penetrated into the earth, the roots began to absorb the remnant power of divine blood and started to grow frantically.

Purification trees suddenly grew out of the ground, blossomed, and bore fruits, purifying over 200 acres of earth into fertile, black earth in one breath.

A maid came up to Lina and said: “Lady Lina, Master asked for you!”

Lina nodded and followed the maid to the agricultural area that Yang Feng had designated for cultivation.

“This is black earth! Black earth that can be cultivated freely! The Red Earth Wasteland that had never been subdued for hundreds and thousands of years, has actually been subdued by Master Ian! This, This, is a miracle!!”

Once Lina entered the agricultural area and saw the over 200 acres of black earth, her eyes flashed with shock. This was much more shocking than the time she saw the Miracle City appear overnight.

Located at the junction of the four empires, the Red Earth Wasteland was extremely vast, with its surface area reaching two-thirds of that of the Morrince Empire. Many ambitious characters wanted to establish themselves in the Red Earth Wasteland. In the end, however, they weren’t able to subdue the red earth and could only leave with their tails between their legs.

Although gods in the starry sky had the power to purify the red earth. However, that would consume a lot of divine power and energy. Using the purification seeds was by far simpler. Moreover, gods were busy seeking pleasures, practicing cultivation in seclusion, gaining insights of laws, and strengthening their divine countries. Who would be willing to lower themselves and spend large amounts of divine power and energy to purify the Red Earth Wasteland of divine blood?

Yang Feng flipped his hand and handed Lina a pouch and a knowledge crystal: “Lina, these are the seeds of the breadfruit tree. Organize some people and plant them. This is a knowledge crystal. It contains knowledge regarding the cultivation of breadfruit trees. Crush it immediately.”

“Yes! Sir!” Lina crushed the knowledge crystal and felt a large amount of knowledge enter her mind. After quite a while, she respectfully bowed to Yang Feng in salute and spoke.

Yang Feng left right away. He arrived before an artificial lake, which was 1 kilometer in diameter and 30 meters in depth, and had a hill in the center.

Under the legendary spell Torrential Rain, a shallow layer of water had accumulated at the bottom of the artificial lake.

Yang Feng snapped his fingers and the purification seeds that had been harvested just a moment ago flew into the artificial lake.

Once they came into contact with water, the purification seeds grew numerous roots, took root in the artificial lake, and started to purify the lake.

When the artificial lake was purified, Yang Feng’s figure shook and he arrived at the top of the hill in the artificial lake. He took out green seeds and threw them on the top of the hill, then silently recited an incantation and cast the level-1 spell Extraordinary Plant Catalysis.

Under the effect of Yang Feng’s spell, the green seeds grew rapidly into large, 10-meter-tall trees with lush, green foliage.

Numerous water elemental particles gathered from all over and condensed on the leaves of the large trees. With a blow of the wind, raindrops dropped from the large trees’ leaves and fell to the ground.

These large trees were a kind of extraordinary plant called the rain tree. These trees had the property to absorb water elemental particles, condense them into water droplets, and then release them alike rain.

These rain trees were best suited to lock-in the water elemental particles in the Miracle City. As long as the water in the Miracle City didn’t go to far, these trees would absorb the water elemental particles, condense them into water droplets, and release them into the huge, artificial lake.

Of course, in order fill the huge, artificial lake, just relying on the rain trees wasn’t enough. It was still necessary to constantly draw water from other places.

The rain trees were only capable of locking-in the moisture in the Red Earth Wasteland, which lacked in terms of water elemental particles.
