Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot - Chapter 1627: 683: Summoning the Fire Beast Again_2

Chapter 1627: Chapter 683: Summoning the Fire Beast Again_2

After Wei Zhenguo killed the Stone God, his Basic Law Force reached 100%, allowing him to gain a Primary Law, meeting the required Basic Attributes.

Moreover, the 100% Basic Law Force also simultaneously brought Wei Zhenguo’s “Four Awakenings Max Level Enhancement” Basic Attributes to the required standard!

As such, Wei Zhenguo now has all six of his Basic Attributes meeting the required standard, enabling him to choose to comprehend the Law Domain and thereby ascend to the Seventh Level!

“Yes, you’re ready to ascend to Seventh Level. What? Are you prepared for it already?”

Wang Tao teased intentionally.

“No, no, no!”

Wei Zhenguo waved his hands repeatedly.

He wasn’t afraid of death, but that didn’t mean he’d rush into doom willingly.

With his current ability, the likelihood of comprehending the Law Domain is estimated to be less than one in ten! Attempting it right now would be pure folly.

He needs to thoroughly study the Stone Attribute, enhance his strength, and prepare fully before attempting to comprehend the Law Domain.

“Haha, it’s alright, no need to rush, take your time.”

Wang Tao laughed and patted Wei Zhenguo on the shoulder.

Back when most of the group’s Basic Attributes hadn’t met the standard yet, Wang Tao did feel a sense of urgency. But now that the attributes were up to standard, Wang Tao wasn’t in as much of a hurry. After all, comprehending the Law Domain isn’t something you can force—any mistake could lead to death, so it must not be approached hastily!

At this moment, the others also joined in.

Due to the concealment effect of Wang Tao’s Law Domain, they simply couldn’t see what was happening. All they knew was that Wang Tao took a long time but still hadn’t killed the Stone God, making them quite anxious.

When they saw Wang Tao’s Law Domain dissipating, and both Wang Tao and Wei Zhenguo standing intact while the Stone God lay shattered into fragments on the ground, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurried over.

“Haha, everyone, I’ve made a huge gain this time!”

Wei Zhenguo couldn’t wait to share his excitement with the group.

Meanwhile, Wang Tao began to examine the loot dropped by the Stone God.

Since Wang Tao didn’t kill it, only tangible loot that the Stone God dropped was available—there was no loot pack exclusive to Wang Tao.

Still, enabling Wei Zhenguo to have all his Basic Attributes meet the standard and giving him the chance to ascend to the Seventh Level was worth it—even if Wang Tao had lost this slice of spoils.

In total, there were three tangible loot items, the same number dropped by the Seventh-Rank Fire Beast before.

The first item was a crystal core. As Wang Tao expected, this crystal core had the “Stone” attribute.

[Obtained: Seventh-Rank Crystal Core · Stone x1]

[Seventh-Rank Crystal Core · Stone]

[Quality: Epic (100%)]

[Purity: 20% (Side Effect: None)]

[Stone: Primary Stone Attribute Law]

Wang Tao had already figured out the function of Seventh-Rank Attribute Crystal Cores, and he didn’t immediately give it to Wei Zhenguo. He planned to gather five pieces first and then synthesize them into one with 100% purity before letting Wei Zhenguo fuse with it.

The second tangible loot item was a gray flower seemingly carved out of stone, radiating a large amount of Stone Element.

[Obtained: Iron Stone Jasmine x1]

[Iron Stone Jasmine: Activating it forms the Iron Stone Domain, lasting for 10 minutes (Activation destroys the Iron Stone Jasmine; activation requires 10,000 Awakening Energy)]

“Another Rule Flower! Very nice!”

This item was useless to Seventh-Level Wang Tao. He couldn’t even use it due to the lack of Awakening Energy.

But for others in the group, it was practically a divine artifact!

With a bit of luck, one might even slay a Seventh Order Lord within this Law Domain, just like Wang Tao had!

Though the nature of the [Iron Stone] Domain wasn’t entirely clear, from the name, it seemed unrelated to the Stone God’s [Petrification Gaze]…

Wang Tao stored the [Iron Stone Jasmine] away and turned his attention to the final loot item.

[Obtained: Mystical Rock x1]

[Mystical Rock: Upon release, it will grow into a Stone Beast. Upon consumption, it grants a hidden ability.]

Wang Tao had previously speculated about the Stone God’s true nature, but he couldn’t confirm it yet. With this item, he could finally put his assumptions to rest.

“So, the so-called Stone God is actually a Stone Beast, similar to the Fire God…”

This realization made Wang Tao even more curious—

What exactly lies on the other side of the Summoning Altar? Why are these “beasts” being summoned?

Wang Tao had a hunch that the summoned attribute beasts were specially prepared for humans—after all, humans gained significant benefits from defeating even just one of them… Yet pondering these mysteries now was futile; focusing on immediate matters was the priority.

Wang Tao touched the rock formed from the Seventh-Rank Stone Beast. These fragments were ordinary with no energy or elements—just regular stone.

“These attribute beasts seem fundamentally different from other creatures. When they die, their corpses are essentially useless; the Fire Beast’s corpse, for instance, evaporated completely upon death…”

Thinking the stones were of little value, Wang Tao still packed them into a treasure chest, intending to take them back to the Hope Research Institute. After all, it was the corpse of a Seventh Order Creature, no matter how ordinary…

After packing all the stones, Wang Tao addressed the group:

“Everyone, distance yourselves a bit. I’m about to use the last Summoning Altar. Wait and see what it summons—if the summoned creature matches anyone’s attributes, I’ll reach out to them.”

Wang Tao had a total of three Summoning Altars: those involving the Fire God and Stone God had already been used; only the last one remained.

As for what lies within the final Summoning Altar, Wang Tao had no idea. This altar was of ordinary quality and could only be used once, making it impossible to test beforehand. But now it was different; any altar with usage capabilities, limited or unlimited, was valuable to Wang Tao.

“Alright! Be extra careful!”

Everyone quickly retreated, ensuring they were over ten thousand meters away from Wang Tao before he took out the Summoning Altar.

[Seventh-tier · Summoning Altar]

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Usage Count: 1/1]

[Sacrifice: 100%]

Upon seeing the altar, Wang Tao realized an issue.

For the previous two altars, when Wang Tao prepared to summon, a chant would appear in his mind. Reciting it aloud would trigger the summoning. But for this altar with neither name nor description—how would one summon its contents?

At that moment, new information gradually surfaced in Wang Tao’s mind, making his eyes light up.

“Oh? What a surprise! So it’s not entirely random!”

Wang Tao now understood the true mechanics of this Summoning Altar—

The user first needs to immerse their consciousness within the altar and perceive the presence of the various attribute beasts. Then, by communicating with and calling for one, they can summon it. If the attempt to awaken fails, the altar will randomly summon an attribute beast instead.

Initially, Wang Tao worried about summoning a beast that doesn’t align with anyone’s attributes, potentially wasting the opportunity entirely. Now it seemed he’d have control over the selection!

However, communicating with these attribute beasts requires significant strength, and most humans cannot establish such a connection. Consequently, they rely on random summoning. Wang Tao, however, could likely manage with ease due to his current power level.

As for which attribute beast to summon, the choice was clear: it had to be a Fire Beast! Wang Tao badly needed loot dropped by Fire Beasts!

Guided by the instructions surfacing in his thoughts, Wang Tao used a peculiar method to immerse his consciousness into the Summoning Altar.

In an instant, Wang Tao detected countless Elemental auras. These weren’t ordinary Elements; they had already evolved into Primary Laws, similar to the Law Force within Wang Tao.

But unlike Wang Tao’s within-controlled Law Force, these were unguided and had developed their consciousnesses, manifesting as various attribute beasts!

However, a formless law restrained the beasts, leaving them immobile and trapped in slumber.

“So these attribute beasts are essentially conscious manifestations of unbound Law Force…”

Due to limitations on his range and time within the Summoning Altar, Wang Tao hurried directly towards the Fire Beast.

Soon, Wang Tao located a slumbering Fire Beast.

Wang Tao disguised himself, concealing all traces of being at the Seventh Level, then began his summon.

“Fire God, I beseech your true form to descend…”
