The inexplicable answer from the Heavenly Eye made Jiang Yuan give up the idea of getting an explanation from it. After failing to get an answer, he could only settle for second best.
"Is there a way to defend against skills like Judgment with the Eye of Heaven?" Jiang Yuan asked again.
Since reading the introduction to the trial, he felt increasingly uneasy. This world was too dangerous, so dangerous that you didn't even know how you died.
"have!"
"What's the solution!" Jiang Yuan's face lit up with joy.
"Only death can counteract death!" Tianyan muttered, then continued, "Use the Mark of the Dead in conjunction with the Divine Blood Stone to condense the Lifeline. When you are subjected to unavoidable forces, the Lifeline will shield you from the power of the rules, thus ensuring your safety!"
"You can do that too!" Jiang Yuan was somewhat surprised. After all the twists and turns, it still came down to relying on the mark of the dead. He then asked, "Then how can one condense the lifeline?"
"One hundred drops of divine blood energy plus ten thousand marks of the dead can condense a lifeline!"
"Remember: Every living being has a lifeline with an upper limit; once it's broken, it's gone forever!"
Two sentences were solemnly transmitted from the Heavenly Eye, especially the latter, which made Jiang Yuan feel the threat of death.
"This lifeline requires too much divine blood energy, and I can't gather enough right now. Is there a cheaper way?" Jiang Yuan didn't have a hundred drops of divine blood energy at the moment; he didn't have a single drop left, and he didn't even have ten thousand marks of the dead.
"How about I give you one?" Tianyan said earnestly.
"You must be joking!" Jiang Yuan said with a big smile.
Tianyan changed the subject, saying calmly, "You were the one who joked with me first!"
"I..."
Before Jiang Yuan could finish speaking, the Heavenly Eye had already fallen silent.
"This Heavenly Eye is becoming more and more intelligent!" The more Jiang Yuan interacted with it, the more mysterious it became. As his strength increased, the Heavenly Eye also became more and more intelligent, and it could even make jokes. It was undoubtedly a bug-level existence.
Seeing Jiang Yuan put away the God-Slaying Spear, Ning Yanlan quietly walked over and squatted down next to him. She tilted her head listlessly and said, "I'm so bored. Shall we go back to sleep?"
"At our current level, we can go several days without rest without any problem!" Jiang Yuan thought it was just a simple nap. When he indicated that he didn't want to go back, he glanced at the energy points stored by his Devouring Talent. "Ten hours already?"
The ten-point absorption limit has been reached. If you want to improve your divine power through absorption, you must hunt monsters.
"Let's go out for a walk and see if we can find a place to replenish our devouring limit!" Jiang Yuan decided.
"Didn't Liu Zhaodi say there was going to be a lot of noise tonight and that she didn't recommend us going out? You didn't listen to her!" Ning Yanlan asked deliberately.
“She’s not you, why should I listen to her? Besides, she’s definitely not as good at sensing danger as we are!” Jiang Yuan immediately denied Ning Yanlan’s point.
Hearing this answer, Ning Yanlan finally smiled. She perked up and said, "In that case, let's go out and fight some little monsters!"
"Walk!"
The two were stopped when they stepped out of the air-raid shelter. The auction was postponed and entry and exit were permitted, but registration was required for entry and exit. After registering, the two headed straight for the wilderness.
"There's a slaughterhouse four kilometers to the northeast. I just sensed the aura of a sixth-tier monster there. It should be able to satisfy my devouring needs!" Ning Yanlan pointed to a spot.
Finding monsters in the South City is still very difficult, especially now that more than ten million people from almost half the province are gathered in one safe zone, the population density is seriously excessive, the monsters' living environment is extremely harsh, and with too many monsters and too few monsters, finding them is exceptionally difficult.
"Sixth rank is barely acceptable!" Jiang Yuan's own devouring ability is affected by the divine energy attribute, which directly results in him not devouring anything other than high-ranking monsters. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to devour energy and convert it into divine energy. He needs an extra lot of life to replenish his devouring limit.
“That slaughterhouse is backed by a man-made farm, a perfect hiding place for monsters. We’d better be careful!” Ning Yanlan warned, making sure to explain the potential dangers beforehand so that no one would be careless.
"Don't worry, even the monster that was like the giant shovel from before can't stump me!" Jiang Yuan said with extreme confidence.
"Come with me!"
Ning Yanlan, driving the Stone Breath, didn't need to look for a way and headed straight for their destination with Jiang Yuan.
It's already 8 PM, and there are few people in the darkness. Out of more than 10 million people in Nancheng, there are only a few hundred thousand Spirit Awakeners. Ordinary people don't go out day or night. Nancheng is the largest city in the entire province. With the expansion of the safe zone, Spirit Awakeners are evenly distributed throughout Nancheng, so it's not like you can just see them whenever you want.
“That monster has moved!” Ning Yanlan stopped behind a large tree, staring ahead. “There’s a special energy field here. That monster disappeared about 200 meters ahead. Stone Breath couldn’t detect it!”
Jiang Yuan nodded after hearing this, indicating that it was not a big deal. After all, the Stone Breath was only an intermediate-level talent. As the level of cultivation increased, the problems encountered became more and more complex, and the number of problems that could be handled perfectly would become fewer and fewer.
"Two hundred meters!" Jiang Yuan turned to look at Ning Yanlan. "Open the armor and make sure everything is foolproof!"
"Hmm!" Ning Yanlan activated her armor, and the armor that had been lying dormant on her body in its normal state appeared in the blink of an eye.
"Don't make a move, try to conserve your spiritual energy!" Jiang Yuan touched his brow, and a completely different set of tattooed armor appeared on his body.
This is the ultimate tattooed armor!
Unlike the somber steel armor, the ultimate armor is exceptionally high-profile, with dark gold stripes appearing and disappearing. As energy surges on the surface of the armor, it actively absorbs the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. This is a unique armor with internal and external dual circulation.
It absorbs the user's energy during combat and the energy of heaven and earth during idle times, in order to nourish the physical body and repair the armor.
"The Ultimate Armor Set for Beginner All-Round Type - Quality: Legendary, All-Round Type: Strength, Spirit, and Soul are all indispensable, otherwise the power of the Ultimate Armor Set will be greatly reduced."
"The Tattooed Armor is armor created by the Artifact God after recognizing the Scarab race's defensive capabilities; its energy is extraordinary! And the Ultimate Tattooed Armor is the strongest armor in its class, bar none!"
"Advanced Intermediate All-Round Set Requirements: Heart of All-Round, more Armor Fragments."
Under the Heavenly Eye, the Ultimate Armor didn't change much, except that it changed from a single type of energy to three types of energy. However, Jiang Yuan possessed divine power, so consuming three types of energy was a piece of cake for him.
On the contrary, he couldn't understand the conditions for advancing to the intermediate set. Previously, the condition for advancing to a single-element armor set was the Heart of Armor, but now it had changed to the Heart of All-Roundness. As for Armor Fragments, it was still a vague concept.
"What is an omnipotent heart?" Jiang Yuan recalled, going through all the treasures he had seen and heard about during this time, including the items that had not been opened from the core. He studied them one by one.
"Wait, if there's one thing that looks a lot like this tattooed heart!"
Jiang Yuan's pupils lit up with excitement, a kind of excitement that made him eager to try it immediately.
