Global Composite Master: Compositing an Undead Army from the Start Chapter 859 - 417: Cross-Level Instant Kill! (Double - )_2

『Swallowing Source』: Draw in 500 points of Cosmic Origin Energy directly from the target.

『Golden Light』: Releases an intense burst of golden radiance, temporarily blinding every entity in a 100-meter area for a full 5 seconds.

"Just 500 Health? And only 50 damage? This Level 5 creature is that feeble?"

Chen Mo remarked in surprise.

Right then, Sun Wu, having already figured out Chen Mo’s stats, grinned and commented, "Brother Chen Mo, you’re one of a kind—not everyone starts off with max-level talent like you do.

The basic potential for regular monsters in the First District of the Cosmic Sea sits at the bottom, offering merely 100 points of Origin Life Force and 10 points of Cosmic Source Force right from Level 1.

That kind of starting point naturally leads to these modest numbers even at Level 5.

Against your impressive 100-point launch, it’s clearly in a whole different class.

With talent like yours, barring an early demise, your accomplishments ahead are destined to reach unimaginable heights."

"From this, it looks like the monsters in the First District of the Cosmic Sea are truly not very challenging."

"That’s not quite right; these are merely the common variety. In the Cosmic Sea, you’ll find Elite-grade Source Beasts, Commander-grade ones, Lord-grade, Tyrant-grade, King-grade, Emperor-grade, and beyond. The stronger the grade of the Source Beast, the more formidable its stats become.

Even at Level 5, an Elite-grade Source Beast’s attributes can double those of a standard one."

"Got it. I didn’t realize the First District held such risks."

"Actually, no. The First District doesn’t host any ultra-high-rank Source Beasts, making it fairly secure.

Far more likely—and riskier—than facing top-tier Source Beasts is running into folks from rival Guild Alliances.

Don’t worry, though; this is our initial venture here today, and sticking to shallow areas keeps us out of trouble."

While they talked, the Gold-Stone Source Beast, freshly taunted by Sun Wu, barreled toward them in a fury.

"What do you say? Ready to handle this beast solo?" Sun Wu held back from acting, offering a grin instead.

"Alright." Chen Mo answered with a faint smile, and in a flash of intent, a vintage bell materialized overhead.

A deep hum echoed as the bell trembled fiercely, unleashing a devastating wave that slammed into the Gold-Stone Source Beast.

Here were Chen Mo’s stats, enhanced by his complete array of secret treasures.

[Name]: Chen Mo

[Rank]: Lord of the Cosmos (advances to the following rank post-Level 10)

[Level]: Level 1

[Experience]: 0/100

[Attributes]:

『Origin Life Force』: 5000 points

『Cosmic Source Force』: 300 points

『Attack Amplification』: 250 points

『Defense Amplification』: 350 points

『Origin Cosmic Energy』: 11000 points

The proportional boosts from Chen Mo’s Emperor Bell and external avatar didn’t affect the secret treasures themselves but amplified only his base stats.

Nevertheless, these figures were extraordinarily potent.

Matched against the Level 5 Source Beast ahead, they highlighted just how mighty Chen Mo’s Level 1 form truly was.

The Emperor Bell’s Earth-Shattering Power delivers harm equal to 200% of Cosmic Source Force.

Thus, a single strike inflicts 600 damage, which then gets enhanced by the 250 points of attack amplification—where each point ups damage by 10%—yielding a total of 『600×（1+250×10%）』, or 15600 damage.

Still, this output gets offset by the foe’s defense mitigation.

The Gold-Stone Source Beast boasts 50 points in defense amplification, each granting 10% damage reduction, for an overall resistance of 『1+50×10%』.

In the end, Chen Mo lands 15600÷6=2600 points of damage on it.

Yet this beast possesses only 500 health points altogether, rendering it utterly helpless against such overwhelming force.

"Roar!" Confronted by the shockwave from Chen Mo’s ancient bell, the Gold-Stone Source Beast bellowed thunderously, and the very next moment, its frame shuddered wildly while emitting golden glows.

The colossal impact rippled through every inch of its form, making its once-impenetrable shell seem shockingly vulnerable.

The Gold-Stone Source Beast thrashed in vain, but escape from the bell’s ruinous force proved impossible no matter its efforts.

The vibrating energy coursed inward, methodically ripping the Source Beast apart into myriad fragments, as golden sparks erupted in the sky like spectacular bursts.

Finally, amid the relentless quakes, the Gold-Stone Source Beast howled in torment before shattering entirely into drifting golden motes.

Chen Mo’s potent Emperor Bell assault had vanquished the apparently unbreakable Gold-Stone Source Beast with ease.

With the Gold-Stone Source Beast’s demise, silence fell over the area, save for the lingering golden shards and mysterious remnants hovering nearby.

At the same time, the Heavenly Path’s Hint chimed in Chen Mo’s mind.

[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: You’ve slain a Level 5 ordinary-grade Source Beast well above your own level, granting 5 experience points.

Due to the 4-level gap in your favor for the kill, experience reward multiplies by four, for a total of 25 points earned.]

"That’s a hefty experience haul? One beast alone nets me a fourth of a level’s worth." Chen Mo noted, smiling.

"Killing higher-level foes solo naturally yields plenty." Sun Wu replied with a grin.

He’d intentionally avoided grouping with Chen Mo to boost his personal rewards.

"Does that make leveling up pretty swift?"

"It feels rapid at first, but past Level 10, you’ll see how sluggish it gets." Sun Wu chuckled.

Once done talking, he gestured lightly, drawing the Gold-Stone Source Beast’s remains closer.

"In this realm, slaying beasts won’t spit out instant loot. Their bodies serve as the prizes. We ought to harvest the worthwhile sections to bring back."

"So everything needs manual crafting here? No direct pickups?"

"Not entirely; while kills don’t yield drops outright, the Cosmic Sea hides loads of treasures—if you’re fortunate enough to stumble upon them."

"Understood."

"Incidentally, that bell of yours packs a punch. Its recent display rivals elite first-rank cosmic techniques, falling just short of internal ones but topping the charts for external arts."

"Internal methods? External methods? What’s the distinction?" Chen Mo inquired, intrigued by the unfamiliar concepts.

"Here, only techniques you devise yourself hold the ultimate growth and might.

Any you acquire ready-made from others fall under external methods, capped in their strength by design."

"I get it. So crafting your own techniques is possible in this world? What’s the process?"

"It hinges on fate. Start by securing an Enlightenment Stone, then leverage it to sharpen your perception and forge a personal technique.

Some craft their desired method with a single stone, others fail to grasp one despite using scores.

This depends on the technique’s complexity, plus elements like fortune and insight.

Typically, fresh faces shouldn’t chase this yet. Sticking with existing external methods suffices for the early Cosmic Sea regions."

"How does one obtain an Enlightenment Stone?"

"They’re scattered across the Cosmic Sea, though King-grade and higher Source Beast territories offer the best odds.

Tyrant-grade zones carry a slim chance too."

"Noted."

During their exchange, Sun Wu skillfully gathered the better-preserved bits from the exploded Gold-Stone Source Beast and passed them to Chen Mo.

"These remains ought to fetch 10 Cosmic Source Crystals."

"That much?"

"Quite so; luck could push their value higher. Come along."

With that, Sun Wu guided Chen Mo deliberately toward a specific path.

"Something lucrative in that direction? A prime Source Beast maybe?" Chen Mo wondered aloud.

"Not a beast, but other gains await." Sun Wu smiled back, "The Cosmic Sea teems with Ocean dwellers, and up ahead lies an Ocean Town. These natives despise the Source Beast incursions, so they often issue bounties in town to hire help purging nearby threats.

They also list quests for beast-derived materials. Matching their needs with our haul can turn missions into rewards far exceeding plain sales!"
