Chapter 291 War Ghost, No.259, and the unexpected appearance!
For cultivators, those who have transcended the tribulation become true immortals, and above the true immortals are the Immortal Lords and the Golden Immortals.
Going further up from the Golden Immortal is the eleventh level - in the immortal system, the eleventh level is further divided into two levels: Heavenly Immortal and Immortal King.
Above the Immortal King is the twelfth level of the Immortal Lord. Above that, the path to immortality ends there.
Let’s talk about Zheng Qun’s protector, the Immortal King Wang Li.
The realm of immortals is that of Immortal King, so his strength is naturally outstanding, but he has not reached the eleventh level.
Therefore, the second law is not triggered in the skill judgment weighting.
It’s just that its own attributes are pretty good, which leads to the triggering of the third law of the first stage, and the skill authority level is +1.
But this is still a far cry from NO.259.
In front of Xia Lin, the battle between the Limit Breaker and the Immortal King was so massive that it even had the power to topple the heavens.
It seemed like the match was evenly matched, with Wang Li even having a slight advantage.
But Xia Lin knew in his heart that Wang Li and Zheng Qun were doomed.
The reason why the Cinder Walkers are worth cultivating and worthy of attention, and even the Six Pillars have cast their eyes on them, is because under the Cinder system, super-strong people can indeed be cultivated! More than 50% of the existing level 12 strong people came from the Cinder. This ratio shows how strong the Cinder Walkers are.
It was said that the top three of the human race alone had the ability to rival the eleventh level—and the eleventh level had a natural +3 skill judgment! As a Cinder Walker of the highest level 9, being able to fight against the eleventh level despite this gap was very telling.
At this moment, the one standing in front of Zheng Qun and Wang Li is Human Sequence 7, but his actual combat power may be able to touch the top five NO.259.
War Ghost, NO.259!
"Uncle Wang! Kill him, kill him! Take back my treasure!"
Zheng Qun didn't know that he was in great trouble and the word death was hanging over his head.
He only saw that Wang Li had the upper hand in this battle, and for a while he jumped and shouted, very excited.
Wang Li did not realize the seriousness of the problem.
He had seen many demons from outside the domain, and the guy in front of him seemed to be just a little stronger, and there was nothing special about him.
He will definitely win this battle.
But no one noticed that NO.259's eyes gradually turned red, and the corners of his mouth slowly stretched open, revealing a creepy smile.
[Professional Talent: Beyond the Limit (Racial Heritage Level Talent): All your limit-breaking skills will have their limit-breaking effects increased by 20-200 times! You can adjust the limit-breaking multiplier of your limit-breaking skills at any time. When the multiplier is 20, you don't have to pay any price. As the multiplier increases, you will pay different prices based on different multipliers and skills. This is: the price of strength! ]
There is no need to say much about the special talents of the Limit Breakers. Compared with transcendence, NO.259's professional talent is one level higher and has reached the racial foundation level. The corresponding limit-breaking multiplier has also reached a new high.
as well as……
[Enjoy the joy of battle (racial heritage level skill): passive skill, limit-breaking skill, exclusive skill for limit-breakers. When you enter the combat state, your basic attributes will be broken according to the intensity of the battle! ]
The limit-breaking multiplier is 200 times! [The price of power: Once you enter the battle, you will inevitably enter the war ghost state! In the war ghost state, you will be fearless and fearless, but at the same time, your rationality and self-control will also be reduced! ]
[Human, Earth, Heaven, and God Transformation (Racial Heritage Level): Active skill. After obtaining this skill, you will have four forms! In human form, all your attributes are compressed to one-fifth of the original, and this form can be permanent. In earth form, all your attributes remain unchanged, and this form can be permanent. In sky form, all your attributes are doubled, the duration is 3 days, and the cooldown time is 5 days. In god form, all your attributes are increased to ten times the original, the duration is 1 hour, and the cooldown time is one month! ]
[Note: The attribute gains/losses gained by this skill cannot affect the effectiveness of the Third Law.]
Thus, a simple combo was formed.
Use the transformation of man, earth, and heaven to compress your own attributes and gain limit-breaking benefits by enjoying the joy of battle.
Because of the reduction in attributes, the intensity of the battle is increased in disguise, thereby achieving higher efficiency in breaking limits!
At this moment, No. 259 has officially entered the War Ghost Form! Limit Breakers, no, it should be said that all professionals, have this problem.
——They will do everything possible to break the limits.
At this moment, NO.259 is using Wang Li to improve his attributes.
In other words—he was into it.
"After all, the gap is still quite big..."
Xia Lin, who was watching the battle from afar, muttered this.
Even with observation in hand, he couldn't see through NO.259's skill combination, specific attributes, and racial values.
But he knew that although NO.259 could not defeat an eleventh-level celestial immortal, he could at least be on par with a golden immortal of normal or even higher level.
In front of this man, what does Wang Li, an immortal king, count for? This Wang Li is probably no match for Bao Bowen...
Thinking of this, Xia Lin set his eyes on the Antarctic Cave in the hand of NO.259.
Even though he had entered the war ghost state, NO.259 still held on to Nanji Dongtian tightly, but did not choose to hunt down Bao Bowen and others.
This made Xia Lin pinch his chin and whispered: "This person's decision seems to be problematic..."
Maybe his brain is not very good... People who break the limit generally have problems with their brains.
It is also possible that the order he accepted was to obtain the Antarctic Cave Heaven, which did not include hunting down Bao Bowen or even Xia Lin.
After thinking about NO.259's idea, Xia Lin soon gave up.
You can't figure out the thoughts of the Limit Breakers. In some ways, these people are crazier than the lunatics on the original dark side.
Let’s get back to the present.
The reason why Xia Lin came back was to see if there was any chance to steal something.
He did not expect that random combinations could shake No. 259. His skill judgment authority was two levels higher than his. As a human sequence seven, it was even more impossible for him to have skills below the foundation level. Random combinations would have no effect on him.
Xia Lin's biggest wish is limited to the Antarctic Cave Heaven - this thing can relieve the pressure of the Soldier Cave, which is equivalent to breaking the limit attribute to some extent.
But at the moment, the chances are probably slim.
Thinking of this, Xia Lin turned around decisively and prepared to leave.
The attributes of NO.259 far exceed his.
The fact that he could see the battle between NO.259 and Wang Li meant that NO.259 must also be able to sense Xia Lin's location.
Although Xia Lin has realized that NO.259's murderous intention towards him and Bao Bowen is not very strong.
But there was no guarantee that he would pull out his hand and kill Xia Lin with one blow...
A gentleman does not stand on a dangerous wall.
But just as Xia Lin turned around to leave, the clear sound of wind chimes suddenly rang out from afar, gradually becoming stronger.
Xia Lin was stunned at first, then looked sideways towards the place where the wind chimes sounded.
Then I saw the familiar man dressed as a clown, riding a bicycle, seemingly slowly but actually flying towards me from mid-air at an extremely fast speed.
The sound of wind chimes is coming from the handlebars of the bicycle.
Xia Lin: “???”
Why is the clown here?
However, the clown did not stop to answer Xia Lin's questions.
He just ignored Xia Lin and walked leisurely past Xia Lin not far away, and finally stopped at the edge of the battlefield between NO.259 and Wang Li.
"Let's go, try to stay away..."
The clown said this to Xia Lin without even turning his head.
This made Xia Lin raise his eyebrows and ask back.
“You are…”
The clown looked back with a grin, laughing exaggeratedly: "The meaning of life."
Another deep voice sounded from afar.
"And personal grudges!"
Flags are waving in the bloody air.
The fog of war swept in from afar, and Xing Fanwu, wearing blood-red armor, was looming in the fog.
He looked at No. 259, his eyes gleaming with fire and revealing clearly visible hatred.
Xia Lin: “Hmm…”
He does understand personal grudges.
But he didn't understand the meaning of the Joker's life...
…
Just when the Joker and Xing Fanwu both appeared on the stage, Xu Haonan in the distance also frowned.
Seeing Xu Haonan's micro-expression, Lin Xiantian couldn't help but speak.
"Something went wrong?"
Xu Haonan nodded slightly.
"Two questions, one big and one small."
"The small problem is that No. 259 has his own ideas and seems to be dissatisfied with the task I assigned to him."
The tasks assigned by Xu Haonan to NO.259 were, first, to seize the Antarctic Cave, and second, to kill Bao Bowen, Xia Lin and others directly if there was a chance.
The two tasks have priority.
As a result, NO.259 let Bao Bowen and others escape even though he was able to do so.
Lin Xiantian chuckled.
"You really used the Limit Breaker as a weapon?"
Xu Haonan looked at Lin Xiantian in confusion: "Aren't they just weapons?"
Lin Xiantian shook his head: "They are people first, professionals, and limit breakers, and only secondarily are they weapons."
"And people will have self-awareness, even if it is the slightest self-awareness, it is still self-awareness."
After saying that, Lin Xiantian paused for a moment and continued, "And you asked No. 259 to give up chasing Xiao Feng. This was No. 259's primary goal when he entered this game, but you forcibly interrupted it. If I were No. 259, I would definitely be upset with you."
At this point, Lin Xiantian smiled at Xu Haonan with an unclear meaning, which made Xu Haonan suddenly realize.
"You kid, you are implying that I am weak again..."
Lin Xiantian smiled but said nothing. Xu Haonan sighed and shook his head: "But what you said does make sense. The most important reason why the Creator can control the Lord is the suppression of strength. This is how He can transform one of the six pillars, the Old Lord, into His own weapon and command it as if it were his own arm."
"On the other hand, as the one who issues orders and controls weapons, I am much weaker than No. 259. It is normal for him to be dissatisfied with me."
"But these are minor issues."
As long as they can keep the plot moving forward smoothly, they will definitely be the winner.
NO.259's little thoughts are insignificant, and Bao Bowen, Xia Lin and others can escape for a while but not forever.
"The real big problem is that the people on the Demon Emperor's side have taken action."
These words made Lin Xiantian stunned, and then his expression turned cold.
"This is impossible!"
"The high-ranking members of the Demon Emperor's side have long been closely watched by the senior brothers. There is no way that the Demon Emperor's people will get involved in this round!"
Beside him, Xu Haonan spoke softly.
"They are not the high-ranking members of the Demon Emperor's side, but two unknown people..."
“But that’s where the problem comes from.”
The light in his eyes became brighter, and Xu Haonan's gaze was fixed on the Joker and Xing Fanwu.
A doubtful tone came out of his mouth.
"I can sense the scent of the Demon Emperor on them... but I don't understand why the Demon Emperor sent these two people to infiltrate this Ash Zone."
Lin Xiantian smiled and said, "According to what you said, this doesn't seem to be a big problem. Without the intervention of the high-ranking sequence, the unknown people cannot change the situation."
Xu Haonan shook his head.
"You're wrong about that."
"The Demon Emperor will not do meaningless operations. The entry of these two people must have its significance."
Xu Haonan couldn't understand the purpose and significance of the Joker and Xing Fanwu.
And unknown troubles are bound to be the biggest troubles.
…
Strong attributes bring strong perception.
No.259 has already noticed the presence of Xing Fanwu and the Joker, but he doesn't care...
Xia Lin couldn't see through his attributes, but he could sense the strength of everyone present.
As the strongest person present, NO.259 is in control of the overall situation to some extent.
"No... not a single interesting target... not even one!!"
The smile on his face became more and more exaggerated, and the blood color in his eyes became more and more intense.
In the war ghost state, NO.259's sanity is disappearing step by step - and this also makes NO.259 unable to maximize his interests, gradually pushing the battle situation in an inevitable direction.
The sky is filled with evil spirits and ghosts.
Wang Li stood in the sky, with the magic sword in his hand flying and the soul flag fluttering.
However, Wang Li soon realized that something was wrong...
The evil spirit cannot shake the strong body of NO.259.
The evil spirits from the real fairyland can’t even bite through the skin of NO.259.
The innate magic weapon: the Soul-Devouring Demon Sword can indeed cause some bloody wounds to NO.259, but these wounds are far from being fatal.
There was also a group of people chattering on the side.
"Uncle Wang! Come on! Uncle Wang! Kill him and refine his soul!"
The corner of Wang Li's mouth twitched, but he didn't dare to say anything harsh to Zheng Qun.
Just by making a fierce sword gesture, the power of the magic sword will be even greater.
However, just as the sword light swept in front of NO.259, the sturdy man who had just fought back and forth with Wang Li suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the magic sword with one hand at a speed far exceeding that of just now.
The Soul Devouring Demon Sword emitted a series of roars in the hands of NO.259, but it only brought about more violent destruction.
“Crack~”
“Crack~”
The sound of shattering continued.
As Wang Li stared in astonishment, NO.259 actually exerted force with one hand and crushed his Soul-Devouring Demon Sword!
"I'm tired of it."
NO.259 slowly raised his head and looked towards Wang Li.
"I've had enough fun, too."
Before Wang Li could recover from his shock, NO.259 had already taken a step forward.
The pure power of the flesh tore through the space, leaving a human-shaped black space crack along the way.
Before the space healed, or even before the space storm broke out of it, NO.259 had already appeared beside Wang Li.
The breath of death was immediately overwhelming. Wang Li was so shocked by the "full force" of No. 259 that he froze in place for a moment, his thoughts stagnating.
Just when he was stunned.
The ruthless iron fist has hit the top!
Swing your fist and smash down.
There are no skills, no tricks, just simple hand-to-hand combat, like a street fight.
But that's the style of the Limit Breakers.
Break all laws with one force!
The protective magic weapon automatically emitted light, but it could not stop the power of NO.259.
The sheer crushing of attributes far surpasses all the fancy stuff.
Countless layers of protective light exploded instantly, and Wang Li’s head shattered on the spot.
No.259's fist, with the remaining force, was swung to the end, not only leaving a dark space crack in the original place, but also causing Wang Li's flesh and blood to disintegrate without leaving a single piece! Suddenly, an immortal soul was born from the original place.
Wang Li ran away with a look of fear on his face, but NO.259 just grinned, and his smile became more and more exaggerated.
"die!"
The roar exploded.
The simple roar combined with the powerful attributes, the back and forth vibration detonated the air and spiritual energy, and even formed an energy-free field that isolated the spiritual energy in a certain area.
Wang Li's immortal soul, which was almost indistinguishable from a physical entity, just stood there in a daze after hearing this shout. Then, immortal light and demonic light gushed out, and the immortal soul disintegrated on the spot, leaving no trace behind.
——This is a natural scene.
Given the difference in strength between the two, an instant kill is a foregone conclusion.
However, the NO.259 that killed Wang Li in seconds did not end its war ghost state.
He turned his eyes away, ignoring Zheng Qun who was shivering not far from him, and looked at Xia Lin and the other two, especially Xing Fanwu who had the most powerful appearance.
"I remember you."
NO.259 spoke slowly.
"I killed your wife and brother..."
Xing Fanwu clenched his fists tightly.
NO.259 laughed cruelly.
"And now, I'm coming to kill you!!"
…
As the price of strength, the negative impact of the war ghost state far outweighs the positive effects.
Not knowing how to make trade-offs and maximize benefits is just a trivial point.
Another point is that once entering the war ghost state, NO.259 will definitely kill all living things within his sight, and no one can escape.
Even when he gets carried away, NO.259 can't distinguish between friend and foe.
Therefore, Xu Haonan did not dare to send anyone to follow NO.259.
Now that NO.259 has killed Wang Li, it does not mean the end of the battle.
For NO.259, this is just the beginning.
Just as these words reached the ears of the three people, a scorching wind blew in their faces.
With a twisted smile on his face, the strong body tore through space at the speed of teleportation and appeared in front of the three people.
In the fog of war, it seemed as if countless invisible soldiers were wielding swords and guns, sharp and awe-inspiring.
Any of these invisible attacks could break Xia Lin's defense, but facing No. 259, they couldn't even penetrate his oily skin or his battle clothes! Amid the roar, blood splattered on Xia Lin's cheek.
He turned around in shock and saw that NO.259 had punched through Xing Fanwu's armor and chest and lifted Xing Fanwu up.
“That’s it!?”
NO.259 spoke in disappointment.
It’s still a quick kill.
This is also inevitable.
Previously in the January Dream Ashes area, Xing Fanwu showed his strength - similar to Wenrou.
When people of this level face NO.259, there will be no other result except being killed instantly.
However, like a flag, Xing Fanwu, who was hanging on the arm of NO.259, suddenly looked up at NO.259.
He also grinned, and the smell of blood sprayed all over NO.259's head and face.
“That’s it!”
He clasped his hands together and grabbed No. 259's arm tightly.
The armor was peeled off and turned into shackles, which bound him and NO.259.
The light of skills surged from Xing Fanwu's body. At the same time, an item in his personal space shattered, temporarily enhancing Xing Fanwu's skill authority.
[War Shackles (Racial Heritage Level): Active skill, exclusive to War Bishops. Consumes 10,000 points of mental power and a racial heritage level equipment to forcibly bind you to the target. The effect lasts for 10 minutes and can be actively interrupted. The cooldown time of this skill is 3 months.]
This skill is enhanced by the props bestowed by the Demon Emperor and can be effective against NO.259!
"Impotent resistance, futile struggle."
NO.259's arm began to shake.
This is a very simple muscle-generating technique, and it's not even a skill.
But relying on the super-level basic attributes of NO.259, just the muscle shock was enough to destroy the body of Xing Fanwu that was pierced by him!
However, Xing Fanwu still refused to die!
[Unquenchable Fighting Spirit (Racial Heritage Level): Passive skill. When you are hit by a fatal blow, you will be immortal for 30 seconds! During this time, you can release skills and even heal your injuries, but if your injuries are still fatal after the effect of this skill ends, you will die immediately! This skill has a built-in cooldown of 1 month! ]
Because this skill is a passive skill that affects himself, and NO.259 has no means of sealing, this skill is perfectly effective and is not affected by the judgment authority.
While the two were fighting, the clown beside Xia Lin also took action.
A huge beam of light radiated from behind the clown, and the noisy voices were heard by everyone.
The light and shadows became clearer, presenting the scene of a lively circus.
The Observation skill automatically takes effect.
However, this time, Xia Lin did not get much information, but it was enough to make him squint his eyes and think.
[Soul-Swapping Circus (Racial Heritage Level) (Combination Skill) (Uniqueness): Active skill, exclusive skill for the circus king. This skill combines six racial heritage level skills, including Death Paradise, Magnificent Opening, Amazing Performance, and Death Ending, and is formed only after being combined with the power of dreams coming true.]
The specific effect cannot be observed due to unknown reasons.
NO.259 suddenly turned his head and looked at the clown.
It was not until this moment that he sensed a strong sense of crisis from the clown!
Another negative effect of the Ghost state.
——It weakens NO.259's sense of danger!
Just when NO.259 realized the problem, the Soul-Swapping Circus had already started, but its target was not NO.259, but Xing Fanwu who was connected to NO.259!
The clown's attributes were not high enough to trigger the third law, and the skill judgment of No. 259 was two levels higher than his! With No. 259 as the target, the Soul Exchange Circus would most likely fail to take effect.
Although the Joker may also have power-enhancing props bestowed by the Demon Emperor, NO.259 also has them.
I didn’t use it when dealing with Bao Bowen and Xing Fanwu before, but there was no need to use it - this kind of props is very precious.
Soul-Swapping Circus is not a skill that takes effect instantly. Even in the War Ghost state, NO.259 has enough time to use props to increase the authority of body protection skills, thereby being exempt from the effects of Soul-Swapping Circus.
For this problem, the Joker and Xing Fanwu found a feasible solution - Xing Fanwu's war shackles! The effect of forced binding is not only about the connection of the physical body, but also involves the concept of binding!
In the bound state, you have to bear the effects I receive, and you have to take the skills I take! Under Yu Xialin's gaze, NO.259, Xing Fanwu, and the clown disappeared right under his nose, but reappeared in the increasingly clear circus virtual scene.
