Chapter 592: Legendary Combat Skills and Self-Created Sacred Skills

On January 18, 319 of the New Divine Calendar, 26 victorious nations, led by the three giants of the coalition, convened a grand peace conference in the city of Lutetia in the Bonaparte Empire.

The meeting was held in the name of 'peace', but the discussion was actually about how to punish and divide the Habsburg Empire and its allies.

The defeated Habsburg Empire had no right to participate in the discussion of terms and could only accept them in full.

However, this peace conference did not go smoothly, and it could even be said to be extremely difficult.

Without the Habsburg Empire as a powerful enemy, the conflicts within the coalition forces could no longer be suppressed. It could even be said that their mission had been accomplished, and even the Church of the Sun God had no reason to suppress them.

The result is that the three giants of the coalition each have their own demands.

For example, the Bonaparte Empire, as the main war zone, suffered heavy losses due to the war, with more than ten million people dying directly or indirectly on the battlefield.

Therefore, their hatred was the deepest, and they demanded the direct dismemberment of the Habsburg Empire's territory, the annexation of the Ruhr industrial area, exorbitant compensation, and the establishment of a military buffer zone.

That’s right, the exaggerated figure of 1.3 billion gold tiers was proposed by the Bonaparte Empire, and it was justified.

The Bonaparte Empire was already the overlord of the Old World. After finally winning the war, it naturally wanted to restore its hegemony.

However, his former ally, the Kingdom of Sardinia, began to create obstacles.

It’s a simple truth: there can’t be two tigers in one mountain.

The two countries are too close. If the Bonaparte Empire becomes the overlord again, won’t the Kingdom of Sardinia still have to rely on others?

So Queen Victoria turned to a balancing strategy and opposed excessively weakening the Habsburg Empire.

At the same time, as a maritime power, they wanted to further consolidate their maritime power and seek to take over the colonies and naval forces of the Habsburg Empire.

As for the last Glorious Empire, it was much purer.

They simply want to focus on themselves and build a new order and new hegemony.

Therefore, they advocated national self-determination, open diplomacy, and the establishment of a league of nations to handle international affairs.

Moreover, we oppose the secret division of territory.

The three parties engaged in a fierce game over the reconstruction of the post-war order, which was a lively scene of both cooperation and confrontation, separation and reunion.

It is obvious to the naked eye that this meeting cannot be completed in one or two months. There are even many contradictions that cannot be compromised at all.

As for the Habsburg Empire, a major event also happened.

Hohenzollern IV could not withstand the tremendous pressure and was forced to abdicate, ending the rule of the Hohenzollern family and announcing the end of the imperial system.

At this point, the empire was taken over by the cabinet, and after emergency consultations, the Habsburg Republic was established.

However, changing the government does not mean that we can start over. From the moment the new government was born, it was burdened with the responsibility for the defeat.

There are many domestic contradictions, and the old aristocracy and military forces are entrenched. The conflicts are fierce and the political situation is unstable.

However, this made it easier for Xianhualing to implement its poaching plan.

I dare not say that the flowers have gained the most, but in terms of mechanical talents and magic technology, they dare to claim second place, and no one dares to take the first place.

At the same time, due to the collapse of the empire and the abdication of the emperor, the palace was looted several times.

Many hidden treasure houses were opened, and a large number of precious books, secret knowledge, combat skills and magic, and secret sacred skills were all leaked out.

As the big boss behind the scenes and a well-known collector of sacred skills, Luo Yi naturally reaped a lot of rewards.

He collected more than ten of the most advanced sacred skills, and there were even more that were incomplete and lacked rare items.

However, Luo Yi has already mastered sixteen sacred skills. If not the next generation, there must be no one before him.

Basically, every aspect of the body has been covered, with not much left out.

In other words, the accumulation of "quantity" is already enough, and there is not much point in learning a few more holy skills.

Therefore, after deep thinking, Luo Yi closed Deep Blue's other projects without hesitation and activated the deduction module with all computing power.

This time, what he had to do was not to practice more holy skills, but to use his existing body as a blueprint to deeply develop the holy skills, use them in combination, optimize and iterate them, and even create his own holy skills.

For example, [Lion King], this sacred skill has been cultivated by Luo Yi to an unprecedented level, and the unknown substance has spread to the capillaries.

As a result, Luo Yi had a deep enough understanding of the power of belief and faith.

If he wanted to follow the traditional path of cultivation, ignite the divine fire, and become a sixth-level demigod, he already had the best foundation.

It can even be said that he has completed most of the path to becoming a demigod.

Unfortunately, he has no interest in this.

Therefore, the greatest benefit of the [Lion King] is of no use to him.

However, by connecting many secret knowledge and the magic methods of the gods, he still developed new uses.

That is to say, along the thread of faith, separate a strand of your spiritual will and project it over.

He called this method: mental projection!

In fact, this is a method that only true gods master. Many times, prayer ceremonies and communications with gods summon spiritual projections.

But coming to Luoyi requires more energy, and the number of people you can communicate with is limited.

At this stage, there are only about ten people.

However, don’t think that this ability is useless. In fact, it is very useful.

For example, when Loyi is in the abyss, he can communicate with Angel, Oliveira and others through "spiritual projection".

It can be regarded as ignoring the plane barriers and conducting barrier-free information exchange.

For example, on the battlefield, Luo Yi can command the entire battlefield by simply using "mental projection" to convey orders to the commander on the front line. This can be called a magical skill of command.

This is considered an in-depth development of the sacred skills, and the next step is joint use.

For example, by combining the spatial power of [Dimensional Capsule] and the temporal traces of [Super Speed], Deep Blue finally calculated the first legendary combat skill that truly belonged to Loyi.

Luo Yi called it: the cage of time and space!

There was no way. The demon lords were too cunning. Even if Luo Yi could defeat them, he couldn't stop them from fleeing for their lives.

Therefore, what Luo Yi needs most is a skill to control the situation.

This 'time and space cage' falls, and can make space and time stop at a certain point, so you really can't escape even if you want to.

Besides, Luo Yi is not a legend after all, and his domain is fake. He is powerful within the plane, but he will be inconvenient in the star realm.

Therefore, he used [Poseidon's Protection] as the main skill, combined with [Third Lung] and [Rock Kidney], and finally developed a skill that allows him to travel freely in the astral realm.

Once used, the strange substance protected by the sea god will spread outside the body and form a filter layer.

As a result, no matter whether it is harmful substances from the astral world, rays, curses, toxins, or even strange injuries, they will be blocked out.

And Luo Yi gave it a name: Traveling in the Star Realm.

At this point, even if he really hits the outside of the plane, he can still exert his full strength without any worries.

In addition, Deep Blue has developed an ultimate explosive secret method based on [God's Sigh·Giant Beast Heartbeat], combined with the diffusion of strange substances of [Lion King], supplemented by holy skills such as [Holy Fire], [Giant Dragon Heartbeat], and [Rock Kidney].

That is to control the heart, make it beat violently at the extreme level, at full power, let the heart erupt like a volcano, and provide the strongest power in a short period of time.

This is the legendary fighting skill, the magma furnace!

Once this fighting skill is activated, it will truly be Luo Yi's strongest form, and it will be a life-and-death struggle.

As for the optimization and iteration of the holy skills, Luo Yi mainly focuses on [Divine Sigh·Dragon's Might Blooms].

Strictly speaking, this discipline mainly cultivates the soul. It not only has the method of mental intimidation, but also can temper the soul, which is definitely quite impressive.

In the past, it was more than enough, but at the demigod level, it is no longer sufficient.

Especially the Soul Judge Demon Lord and the Eye Demon Lord, they are all masters at playing with souls.

Even if Luo Yi opened the Sky Realm Divine Shield, he would still be badly tortured when attacked.

All he can do is often attack back and hurt each other.

Therefore, this time he chose a sacred skill and a spiritual meditation technique.

The holy skill is called [Spiritual Annihilation Wave], which simulates the dragon breath of the astral dragon.

The Astral Dragon is a unique dragon variant. Legend has it that it was born from the combination of astral energy and dragon eggs. Its scales are translucent silver and its body can expand and contract at will.

Its dragon breath is extremely unique and can force mental appraisal on a large scale. Anyone who fails will fall into confusion of consciousness.

In the astral realm, if you encounter a giant astral dragon, unless you are a god, you will be slaughtered by a dragon's breath of "spiritual annihilation wave".

As for the other, it is a practice called [Mind Blast], which comes from the astral race, the Githzerai.

The Astral Plane is also home to intelligent races, the most notable of which are the Astral Eldar and the Githzerai.

The Astral Eldar are a branch of the elves, and evolved after escaping to the Astral Realm.

The Githzerai are a race that evolved from slaves who escaped the control of the mind flayers.

Although both have tragic pasts, they are hostile races that will never stop until the death, and the Githzerai are best at mental magic.

They achieve effects such as willpower fields and precognitive dodge by strengthening their spirits and making their minds manifest.

Their various occupations often evolved from this.

But Luo Yi wanted more. He wanted to use [Divine Sigh: Dragon Might Bloom] as the core, and then integrate the practice method of [Mind Blast] and the attack method of [Spirit Annihilation Wave].

Take the essence, remove the dross, optimize and iterate to create a more powerful spiritual sacred skill.

According to his expectation, it would be best to use that terrifying existence as the carrier of his own will, summon it out, and thus form the most substantial mental storm.

This is difficult, but the initial fusion is still possible. Luo Yi doesn't believe that his soul can still be attacked by a group of demons.

As for the last self-created sacred skill, Luo Yi chose the direction of defense.

Family members know their own business. After all, he was born as an agile swordsman, with a flexible body and sufficient endurance.

However, its ability to withstand attacks and absolute strength are still somewhat lacking.

At this level of fighting, the rules are easy to follow, and many times there is no way to hide or avoid it.

Therefore, defensive sacred skills were put on the agenda.

Defensive sacred skills are extremely rare. In such a long time, Luo Yi has only collected three.

[Dragon Scale Armor] uses the blood of a dragon to cast its skin and fascia into the layered shape of dragon scales, thus possessing the magic resistance and physical defense of a dragon.

[Tempered Cortex] also works on the skin and fascia, but it is a different way to strengthen the body. It can absorb gold elements and accumulate them on the surface of the body.

When used, the fighting spirit is activated, the gold element is released, the whole body appears bright silver, the skin is like steel, and the defense is greatly increased.

The last one, called [Magic Mark of Truth], uses magic and sophisticated tattooing techniques to carve a miniature magic circle into the dermis of the skin.

When needed, magic power touches the magic circle, provides energy, and can form different defensive magic.

It is even possible to form a multi-layer magic defense field based on the number of superimposed magic patterns.

However, to master this sacred skill, one must be a tattoo artist who is truly proficient in it, and a great master who specializes in this field.

Moreover, the user himself must possess sufficient magic power. Fighting Qi is not enough. Abundant magic power is required.

It just so happens that the person who contributed this sacred skill, Archmage Fiona Preston, is the best tattoo artist and has devoted her entire life to studying this field.

As for sufficient magic power, Luo Yi has it!

In theory, he is already a high-level magician, but the problem is that he doesn't know any magic.

As for Deep Blue's final calculation result, it was even greedier than Luo Yi had imagined. He focused on [Muscle Overlord] and [True Dragon Body] and integrated all three sacred skills.

[Magic Rune of Truth] is on the outside, it is best to build three layers;

[Tempered Cortex] is placed in the middle, allowing the fighting spirit to flow freely while also forming three distinct layers.

As for the [Dragon Scale Armor], it is placed innermost, relying on changing the structure of the scales to also construct three layers of defense.

At this point, when this holy skill is activated, there will be nine layers of defensive force fields, which are intertwined layer by layer. Even if you face the Abyss Minotaur's sword head-on, you can absorb most of the impact.

Therefore, Luo Yi named this sacred skill, [Absolute Protection]!

It is worth mentioning that Luo Yi also discovered a very interesting sacred skill called: [Inheritance].

The strange object is a leaf-shaped object the size of a thumbnail, which can be embedded in the brain and nurtured by one's own essence, energy and spirit. It will take ten years for it to be fully formed before it can be removed.

If they have the same bloodline and a magical object is implanted, they can quickly inherit the original sacred skills.

As for whether one can reach the level of a cultivator, that is difficult to say. It depends on both aptitude and diligence.

However, it is extremely difficult to surpass it.

Because, the strange object itself is a kind of constraint, but the difficulty of practicing the sacred skills is undeniable, so this can be regarded as an alternative way to quickly get started.

This is often the method used by large families to ensure the inheritance of sacred skills.

Luo Yi felt that if he could settle down, he could conceive and raise a child for his son Klein.

Otherwise, it would be really unlikely for his sacred skills to be passed on.

It should be said that all of the above, whether legendary combat skills or self-created sacred skills, were not created by Luo Yi behind closed doors, nor were they simply deduced and calculated by Deep Blue.

Instead, it was something that Luo Yi continuously improved and created using a group of demon lords as his whetstone.

The demon lords felt this most deeply, because they almost watched Luo Yi become stronger and stronger.

So much so that they could no longer suppress themselves.

At the beginning, Loyi and the red dragon Virgil worked together, but they both seemed to be struggling against the three demon lords.

Every battle is a fight for life, and we have to use cheating methods to earn a chance of survival.

But in just two or three months, he was able to fight three people at once and not be at a disadvantage. He could even use various cruel tricks in different ways, making the demon lords very afraid.

After another two or three months, Luo Yi was able to handle a fight of four people at once with ease and didn't care much.

As of the most recent time, these demon lords also thought of adapting.

They first sent out the Abyss Gnoll Lord to lure away the King of the Demon Eye, and the two sides went directly to the star realm outside the plane to fight.

At this time, the Abyss Tauren Lord will come into battle.

In this way, they did not violate the rules set by the King of the Abyss, and Loyi faced as many as five demon lords at the same time.

Obviously, these abyss lords felt a great threat and no longer dared to let it go, but chose to attack with all their strength.

The five demon lords, after such a long period of working together, have developed a good understanding of each other.

Even the Abyss Tauren Lord relied on his thick skin and flesh to stand in the front and bear the most damage.

They obviously want to take down Luo Yi in one fell swoop!

However, they still did not gain the upper hand in this battle, because Luo Yi was wearing the not-so-perfect Holy Dragon War Mech.

Yes, it was only a semi-finished product, but the defense and power it brought alone allowed Luo Yi to bear the damage and attack desperately.

Although the final result was that this mecha fell into pieces shortly after it came out and could not be put together.

However, the advantage it brought to Loyi was that the Blood Prince once again endured Loyi's divine weapon sword and was cut in two.

The Soul Judge Demon was hit by the charged attack of [Divine Sigh: Dragon's Might Blooms 2.0], his mind was in chaos and he stood frozen on the spot.

The Eye Demon Lord was burned by the fire and escaped by cutting off his own tentacles.

In this battle, Luo Yi still failed to kill any demon lord, but from that day on, the demon lords no longer dared to provoke him recklessly.

The high-intensity ground war has also shown a trend of slowing down.

At this time, Luo Yi finally had more time to deal with matters on the main material plane.

He stepped out of the portal immediately and waited quietly at the entrance of Lion Manor.

Then, a carriage stopped, and the young man who was once full of vigor and vitality was now stained with the vicissitudes of life.

When Luo Yi saw him, he gave him a big hug without hesitation and said with a smile: "Miller, you are finally here!"
