The residence arranged for Ye Zhongming and the red dress guard at Ten Thousand Beast Manor was quite nice, considered to be in the core area. This recent explosion had completely leveled the building, and several surrounding structures were also affected. Not only was glass shattered everywhere, but some walls had large, fist-sized cracks, teetering on the brink of collapse.
It was fortunate that some evolvers had noticed something was off and activated their defensive capabilities, which helped these buildings withstand some of the damage.
Nearby people rushed over to see what had happened, while the warriors of Ten Thousand Beast Manor were like startled birds, nervously preparing their defenses.
The high-ranking members of Ten Thousand Beast Manor, who had been holding a meeting inside, hurried over. The colorful giant bear, having just gained a powerful skill, let out the loudest roar.
Those forces that had not yet left also gathered around after checking their surroundings and determining that there was no danger.
However, the first thing the crowd at the epicenter of the explosion saw was Xia Bai floating in the air, looking disheveled yet excited, surrounded by the red dress guard, along with the nine treasures that was half-buried underground, towering several stories high.
Then they saw two shields hovering in the air, and on those shields, a phantom shadow of a door god towering ten meters high!
“It’s that pair of golden shields!”
With just one glance, the water steward recognized this pair of equipment that had caused her immense trouble before. Her eyes widened in disbelief, and her shock was immeasurable.
Because now, the shields were emanating a gentle purple light.
Previously, these shields were at a golden level—how did they suddenly turn purple?
The water steward wasn’t unaware of the answer; she simply didn’t want to believe it.
Now, the top ten weapons on the national leaderboard were all purple gear, but those were mostly produced by the roulette. Only Ye Zhongming’s earth sand moon blade was crafted by an evolver, and the situation where Cloud Summit dominated the rankings was long gone.
Moreover, everyone knew that the earth sand moon blade was a schematic equipment, and its key materials were provided by the five rings society. With Ye Zhongming being such an excellent craftsman, the result was still quite acceptable.
But what was happening now? The shields that were originally golden had turned purple? Did Ye Zhongming refine the equipment enough to upgrade them?
This was unbelievable...
This was purple, second only to rainbow equipment; in the future, it could be mainstream equipment of eight-star or even nine-star caliber. After all, rainbow equipment was extremely rare and almost impossible to create. Ye Zhongming had suddenly produced two pieces, and they were even a set!
Others witnessing this scene shared the same emotions as the water steward.
Everyone greedily gazed at the pair of purple shields, their desire to possess them almost uncontrollable.
Purple set!
Every evolver's ultimate dream in the apocalypse revolved around this.
If anyone present was the most surprised, it wasn’t the water steward, but rather Li Daqian.
Because he sensed a familiar energy fluctuation emanating from the shields—belonging to those Life Eggs.
The six eggs traded to Ye Zhongming, although not fully matured, shared the same origin as the two mature eggs. The energy fluctuation matched the same frequency, and Li Daqian, having nurtured the eggs for some time, was naturally familiar with it.
He could hardly imagine that these eggs hadn’t been taken back to Cloud Summit to be given to Liu Zhenghong but were instead used by Ye Zhongming.
Used...?!
Li Daqian desperately wanted to ask Ye Zhongming how he managed to use them. Aren't you a craftsman? Does forging equipment really require the bloodline of others?
The other invited forces didn’t have such thoughts; they had only one idea—Cloud Summit was too strong. The military power was formidable, and the equipment was even stronger, while the King of Cloud Summit was practically their idol.
