With a thought, its attributes appeared before Lin Ran.
[Heart of Nature (Seven Attributes · Power of Space-Time)]
[Category: Special]
[Quality: Legendary]
[Equipment Restriction: Only awakened users whose innate talent is Nature and whose core energy is Nature energy can equip it; when the wearer's talent is a Nature Spirit Body, an additional skill 2 will be activated.]
[Equipment Effect: Increases the wearer's all attributes by 80%.]
[Equipment Special Effect: Added Skill 1 - Spirit Body Regeneration: Provides the wearer with a health recovery effect of 1% of maximum HP per second.]
[Equipment Special Effect: Added Skill 2 - Attribute Control: The ability to temporarily gain manipulation of one of the seven major elements—ice, lightning, fire, wood, earth, wind, or metal—at the cost of consuming vitality; if the user already possesses the manipulation ability for the seven major elements, vitality can be used to supplement elemental energy (requires Nature Spirit Body talent to activate).]
[Equipment Enchantment: Enchantment Skill - Gate of Space-Time: Can consume the space-time energy stored within the Heart of Nature to open a space-time portal; the energy consumed is determined by the size and distance of the portal; space-time energy is automatically replenished over time, and can also be supplemented by consuming magic energy equipment and items; current remaining space-time energy: 99%.]
At this, not only Luo Qingyan but even Lin Ran was stunned.
It could only be said that this item's attributes were outrageously perverted, and it perfectly fit Lin Ran.
Lin Ran absorbed the Heart of Nature into his body without hesitation for even a second.
Then, he felt a surge of immense power erupting from his entire body.
An 80% increase in all attributes was already a super qualitative leap, let alone the three additional heaven-defying skills brought by the Heart of Nature.
The 1% health recovery per second might seem insignificant to others.
However, it's important to remember that Lin Ran's internal vitality was close to 30 times that of a normal person.
With such a high cap, this 1% was incredibly precious.
Comparatively, the attribute control ability seemed a bit redundant.
After all, Lin Ran already possessed a considerable variety of offensive methods.
Elemental attacks without special effects were likely to be quite ordinary.
It would only be meaningful if he later acquired the ability to control attributes and activated the next effect that allowed him to supplement elemental energy with vitality...
Wait!
He seemed to possess an elemental ability after all!
Excited, Lin Ran leaped from the ground, the magatama in his Eternal Mangekyo swirling.
Amaterasu!
Black flames rose without warning, creating a range of approximately one cubic meter.
This was the maximum amount of magic he could control under normal circumstances.
But now...
As Lin Ran tested this new ability, his vitality was continuously transforming into Amaterasu's fire element.
This mass of Amaterasu, floating in the air, grew larger and larger, expanding at an extremely rapid pace.
In a short while, Amaterasu had become more than ten times its original size.
And at this point, Lin Ran's vitality had not decreased at all.
"Your vitality and stamina are truly terrifying..."
Luo Qingyan, having seen the attributes of the Heart of Nature, naturally knew what Lin Ran was doing and was completely dumbfounded.
Lin Ran's eyes flickered. After retracting Amaterasu, he grinned at Luo Qingyan:
"Let's not talk about vitality for now..."
"You should know better than anyone else about my boundless and abundant stamina, shouldn't you?"
Luo Qingyan's pretty face flushed, and she snorted playfully, "You, you, you... have you been doing this since you woke up?"
Lin Ran nodded:
"Why else? I actually only woke up a few days before you."
"I must say, the lightning power of the Devastation Razor was indeed terrifying. It almost electrocuted me to death!"
"It caused me to be unconscious for five full days, and you for about ten."
"These restrictive measures are also quite exquisite..."
"If it were in the main world, I truly wouldn't have been able to snatch the Heart of Nature so easily."
"Firstly, it could continuously add resistance energy to the Heart of Nature."
"Secondly, it could also pinpoint our location through the Heart of Nature..."
"But unfortunately, within my divine might space, it was helpless."
"Now, the Heart of Nature belongs entirely to me!"
Luo Qingyan rolled her eyes:
"Look at you, so pleased with yourself!"
"But speaking of which, since this Heart of Nature has been enchanted with the power of space-time and appeared in the hands of that Heroic-level alien just now..."
"It should mean that their purpose for coming here was to summon a teleportation gate, right?"
Lin Ran nodded:
"Approximately..."
"But this item should be an indispensable tool for them to set up a large-scale teleportation array."
"Although they cannot use this equipment themselves, if they were to use the Heart of Nature as the array's eye and arrange other things, it wouldn't be impossible."
"But now that this thing has fallen into my hands, I will absolutely not give them another chance to retrieve it."
"Their teleportation plan has thus been declared a complete failure."
"It's a pity that we've accomplished such a great feat, yet because no one knows about it, we can't receive any rewards. It's quite frustrating."
"The feeling of a silent victory is quite unpleasant!"
Luo Qingyan glanced at Lin Ran:
"Just be content..."
"What reward could be better than this item?"
"You've already made a fortune, haven't you?"
"That's a special treasure with space-time teleportation abilities... no one can resist such temptation."
Lin Ran then smiled:
"Indeed, even if this were the only gain, I would be quite satisfied."
"With the space-time portal, we can travel anywhere as we please from now on."
"Let's go back to the outside world and take a look..."
"Our bio-chips are both damaged now, so people outside must be very worried."
"Yes, of course, except for Zhao Wudi!"
"That guy is definitely plotting and wishing we were dead right now!"
As he spoke, a boiling killing intent flashed in Lin Ran's eyes.
Even if this Zhao Wudi was not the mastermind, he must have been involved in this plan to some extent.
Just colluding with aliens is enough of a crime for him to die countless times over.
As long as he returned alive, he would definitely make Zhao Wudi pay!
And incidentally, he would have to carefully investigate Du Jun.
If he was truly kept in the dark the entire time, then fine...
But if not, as the commander of the Long Country's stationed army in Qingjing, he would likely cause a massive uproar.
