Harvested 4 23-star equipment boxes from the level-Sandstorm reward.
This entire morning, Zhang Yue farmed more than a hundred level-4 to level-7 sandstorms within the Death Territory, and harvested a total of more than 300 23-star equipment boxes from them.
In addition, through the monster death drops within the sandstorms, over 1000 pieces of equipment were also harvested.
Of course, the equipment dropped by minor monsters can't be compared to the equipment rewarded for clearing sandstorms.
These level-126–130 scorpions only dropped some trash items of 20–21 stars.
Only by occasionally farming a few lord monsters or bosses could a few pieces of 22–23-star equipment barely be dropped.
But fortunately: even the lowest-level 20-star equipment still falls within the devouring range of the Transcendent Set.
A 21-star Transcendent Set can use equipment above 20 stars as devouring feed, and the higher the star level of the equipment devoured, the higher the evolution value obtained.
Currently, both his own level and that of the pet group have all met the level cap of 130.
And both World quests have been fully completed.
There is nothing worth lingering for anymore in the World 23.
———
Zhang Yue thus returned to the safe zone, Storm City.
Came to the appraisal shop and appraised all the 1000+ pieces of equipment harvested from the sandstorms.
Afterwards, using Infinite Energy + Equipment Evolution Power, all this equipment was refined in one click to the Flowing Gold level.
A piece of 20-star Flowing Gold-level equipment can provide 10% evolution value to the corresponding part of the 21-star Transcendent Set.
And to evolve a 21-star Transcendent Set into 22 stars, each part requires 200% evolution value.
Finally, after feeding a large batch of equipment, the Transcendent Set was easily upgraded to 22 stars.
Then continued to use 21-star and 22-star equipment as feed to devour and upgrade.
Reached 300% evolution value, broke through to 23 stars.
The remaining equipment, together with the 300+ 23-star equipment from the sandstorm clearance reward, was all devoured.
Seeing the Transcendent Set continue to evolve to 24 stars, 25 stars...
["Ding ~ Congratulations, your [Myth · Transcendent Set] has evolved into [Immortal · Transcendent Set], all set skill strengths have been enhanced, and the eighth skill slot has been unlocked!"]
It had already been 5 star levels since the last time the prefix changed at 20 stars.
And each prefix change means the Transcendent Set experiences an unprecedented leap in evolution.
Zhang Yue opened the equipment interface.
He found that, aside from the attached attributes getting a massive boost, the strength of the currently held set skills, Void Shield, Thunder Force, Abyss Breath, Thunder Lightning Shield, Enchantment, Water Shield, and Soul Hunter, had also been greatly enhanced.
After all, from 21 stars to 25 stars, that's not just one level up, but four star levels of improvement.
The compounded amplification of 4 star levels is immeasurable.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Compared to before, the basic attributes in all aspects have increased by about 50%.
As for increased damage, damage reduction, penetration, resistance, and other advanced attributes, they also saw a massive boost thanks to leveling up, equipment, and skill enhancements.
Initial estimates suggest that Zhang Yue's output boost should have directly doubled.
Next, to evolve the 25-star Transcendent Set to 26 stars, each part needs to reach 500% evolution value.
All the equipment has already been used up; Zhang Yue no longer has excess feed to provide for the Transcendent Set to devour and upgrade.
But the current 25-star Immortal · Transcendent Set should also be sufficient for a long while.
Too high or too low has no meaning.
Zhang Yue's requirement is only that the damage is enough to one-shot normal mobs at the current stage, without needing a second follow-up hit, that's enough.
Basically, being able to meet this point means that for the current World strategy, he can sweep it horizontally.
Check the time: 10:00 a.m.
Two hours left before meal time.
Zhang Yue thought, "Clearing the World 24 before lunch should be no problem."
Over an hour to clear one World.
Although Zhang Yue's progress in exploring Worlds could already be described as heaven-defying, it still wasn't fast enough for Zhang Yue personally.
Keep in mind: the No.1 player of the World in the Lighthouse Country has already cleared up to the ninety-somethingth World.
That's a gap of more than seventy Worlds.
So Zhang Yue still has to push harder.
Immediately activated the Boss Challenge.
———
["Ding ~ Welcome to the World Boss Challenge Domain, please kill the World Boss!"]
White light fell, Zhang Yue appeared in a land of quicksand.
The rolling sand on the ground requires professionals who enter to constantly move around to adjust position, otherwise they could easily be swallowed by the sand.
At the same time, in midair, a super giant eagle that seemed to have taken a ton of stimulants was flying straight toward Zhang Yue.
It was the Boss of the World 23—
[Desert Eagle] (Level 130, 24-star Boss)!
"Perfect, I'll use you to test the power of the Transcendent Set!"
With this thought, Zhang Yue raised his Flowing Gold-grade Immortal · Transcendent Staff.
The Apex Predator and Skeleton King were moonwalking on the sand to maintain balance.
Before they could steal the kill, Zhang Yue launched the first attack.
BOOM!
SSS-grade Unique: Nirvana · Heaven-Thundering Wrath!
Powerful lightning precisely hit the Desert Eagle.
-1.52 billion!
The health bar above the Desert Eagle's head instantly dropped by a quarter.
'Good stuff.'
Seeing this damage, Zhang Yue was slightly thrilled.
Originally in his estimate, after the equipment evolved from the 21-star Myth · Transcendent Set to the 25-star Immortal · Transcendent Set, combining all data assessments, the final damage increase should've been exactly double the original.
Unexpectedly, the damage increase reached three times the original.
As a level 130, 24-star Boss, the Desert Eagle had 6 billion HP, but this one hit directly chopped off a quarter of it.
Before the Desert Eagle could get close, Zhang Yue consecutively cast spells.
Thunder · Lightning Dance!
Heavenless · Godslaying Curse!
Shatter · Heart of Thunder!
Three SSS-grade Unique Skills poured down.
In the blink of an eye, a bloody red wave of damage exploded from the Desert Eagle's head—
-1.62 billion!
-1.62 billion!
-160 million! -160 million! -160 million…
The next second.
["Ding ~ Congratulations on killing World Boss [Desert Eagle], cleared World 23 [Endless Desert]!"]
Four skills, instant kill of a 24-star full-health Boss.
Way overpowered.
With the journey in World 23 concluded—
Just as Zhang Yue was about to seamlessly transition into World 24...
Suddenly, Ouyang Linger sent a message, ["President, something bad happened!"]
