Ye Zhongming killed the three-tailed demon frog before entering the secret realm, all for these natural gemstones, which were extremely useful.
Due to the mining methods and success rates involved, he had harvested hundreds of pieces but ended up with only one high-level water system gemstone.
In the secret realm, Ye Zhongming hadn’t encountered any irresistible factors; at most, he used a few mid-level gemstones. He had kept this high-level gemstone for a long time.
Ye Zhongming was well aware of the value of such high-level natural gemstones. Even ten years into the apocalypse, high-level gemstones were still incredibly expensive.
The Murderous Rose, Mu Xinfey, who had encountered him at the beginning of the apocalypse and then mysteriously disappeared, was a nine-star evolver. She often used the Staff of Nature in her battles. When fighting opponents of the same level, she would use mid-level gemstones for assistance, but she only brought out high-level gemstones in critical situations.
Today, in order to qualify for the ultimate challenge, Ye Zhongming no longer hesitated and directly used this highly defensive gemstone to safeguard his long-planned strategy.
A mid-level water system gemstone was already sufficient to withstand attacks from a level six existence, while a high-level water system gemstone could even withstand attacks from a nine-star evolver. In such an uncertain situation, even if several factions joined forces, it was unlikely they could break through this defense in a short time.
The faces of the zero commerce association members turned extremely grim. The Staff of Nature had initially been discovered by their affiliated faction, the royal guild, but now it was being used against them, and that feeling was unbearable.
The massive Shield of the Water Bottle's phantom protected all the warriors of Cloud Summit Villa inside it. Because it was a high-level gemstone, the entire phantom stood tall in the space, exuding an air of superiority.
With the appearance of the Shield of the Water Bottle, the five-minute countdown ended, and the points battle officially began.
Cheng Tianji, transformed into a fire spirit, raised his hand and shot out a fiery flame that struck the Shield of the Water Bottle. The entire phantom didn’t even budge, as if the strike from this activated six-star evolver only served to tickle it.
“The points battle lasts for two hours; I don’t believe your lousy shield can hold out that long!” Chou Zhi Song had just been infuriated by Ye Zhongming, and with a single command, the zero commerce association members began to launch a frenzied attack on the Shield of the Water Bottle.
Seeing the zero commerce association make a move, the Radiant World Army and the divine hall members also started attacking, while the few Unicorn King Freedom Masters remained on the sidelines, as if everything was none of their business.
The collision of skills against the Shield of the Water Bottle produced dazzling and brilliant flashes, and the sounds drowned everything else out. This situation lasted a full ten minutes before the attacks gradually subsided.
The Shield of the Water Bottle appeared somewhat ethereal; these attacks had caused significant energy depletion.
“How about it? Do you still think this thing can hold out for a few more hits?” Wen Hong had long since activated her war officer profession and was frantically slashing at the shield with her twin swords.
Indeed, at this rate, it seemed that in three or four more attacks, the Shield of the Water Bottle would shatter.
These people's attack power was still quite terrifying.
Ye Zhongming chuckled lightly, waving his arm, and over a hundred water system gemstones appeared at his feet.
“How long do you think these can hold out?”
The three-digit quantity nearly caused the Anti-Cloud Summit Alliance members to curse.
Dr. He glanced over and then shook his head, saying, “These are not as high-level as the one you have now; combined, they can only hold out for at most an hour.”
