Chapter 545: Taking the corpses
Although fighting for eleven straight hours was strenuous, members of the Deus Behemoth Race had a racial advantage in terms of stamina, so despite being tired, they were still fine. Many of them turned to Cain as they expected the young man to be completely exhausted, as they saw how he maintained his domain for the entire eleven hours while fighting.
Still, to everybody’s surprise, he looked better than all the others.
Cain was not faking it, as he really was fine. No one here had an Ego Wave at the Third Realm, so they could not detect his Astral Wave even if he did not use his red mask. His dual cultivation would be evident if he used Astral Wave for spells, but no one noticed how he circulated a small amount across his body from time to time to keep his stamina.
The young monster from the Godslayer Humankind Empire just became more and more mysterious to the Deus Behemoths, but no one had time for those thoughts since now that they defeated the hordes, it was time to take the rewards.
The Deus Behemoths began to search around the corpses, ignoring the bones as they all went to the skulls to look inside them. The core component behind those Skeletal Creatures was a small crystal, which either had a milky sky-blue force known as Starwyrm’s Essence or a nebulous dark purple energy called Starwyrm’s Blood.
The former was useful for Essence Cultivators as their Essence Star could consume it, improving their energy pool and purity. At the same time, Astral Cultivators could use the latter to enhance their Astral Blood Saturation.
Starwyrm’s Essence and Starwyrm’s Blood were the most common treasures inside the Astral Bloodline Realm, and while the amount found inside the gems of the Skeletal Creatures was meager, they were still extremely valuable. Consuming them in massive quantities could greatly help even geniuses with flawless foundations.
The division of these treasures was also one of the reasons why all groups worked separately, as none wanted to bicker with others for them.
Zamuel and Lore glanced at each other as they tried to decide how to split the gems with Starwyrm’s Essence and Starwyrm’s Blood. Although both sides killed around the same amount of Skeletal Creatures, Cain’s work could compare with that of at least three Apotheosis Realm Masters, and since he was part of the Solis Clan, they should get more.
"Divide half and half."
