Chapter 390 Dean and Nicola
In the City of Oath, Victor did not specify what advantages the Eternal Inscription Replacement System brought to Xia Lin.
The black gemstone-like eyes pierced through the barriers of space. The left eye reflected the confrontation between Xia Lin and Nicholas, while the right eye reflected the battlefield between Wu Xin and Dean.
He continued slowly.
"Level 12 Characteristics 3: System Integration."
Whether it is a professional system or any kind of extraordinary system, upgrading is a normal and necessary phenomenon.
And the moment of upgrading is also the moment of transformation of strength.
The same principle applies to level 12 - the moment the transition from level 11 to level 12 is completed, the professional's strength will be sublimated!
If the explosive increase in racial values and basic attributes are incorporated into the characteristic of infinite growth.
Then the changes in professions, talents, and skill systems should be listed separately.
My mind seemed to recall old events that happened in the old universe.
The power of the God-given Stone is still fresh in Victor's memory!
"The Heaven-Given Stone itself has the ability to create things out of nothing and turn the false into the true."
"And the power bestowed by the God-given Stone allows Level 12 professionals to gain the opportunity to reconstruct and optimize their own professions, talents, and skill sets at the moment of promotion."
"What you think is reality!"
Even Victor felt that the system integration opportunity obtained when promoted to level 12 was no less than asking his boss to devote all his efforts for a year to customize a skill system specifically for him.
"And this also means that every level 12 must have a super skill system that is hidden in the bottom of the box... It is even more super than the so-called super system engraved by Xiao Xia Lin!"
The chances of advancing to level 12 were rare.
Even though the Six Pillars can artificially create loopholes in the universe, they have never been seen to wantonly manipulate the Twelve Levels - because the rules set in ancient times made the Six Pillars regard the Twelve Levels as potential seeds that can change the situation, and are also their challengers.
Anyone can achieve level twelfth. This is not only against the interests and original intentions of the Six Pillars, but also tarnishes the grade of the Six Pillars.
Therefore, from ancient times to the present, those who can be promoted to level twelfth are the best among level eleven.
Even in the Black Domain, there is an opportunity to "autonomously" advance to Level 12... But imagine, being able to grab this spot among more than a dozen Level 12 professionals and evil gods, and thousands of Level 11 competitors, is an extremely difficult task in itself, and it is also a reflection of one's ability!
So we can say that.
Anyone who can achieve level twelfth cannot be a weakling among level eleven.
For such an existence, the basic attributes will not be weak, and there is a high probability that it is even the limit of the Jhin zone.
For such a being, his skill combination would not be weak, and he would most likely possess the super system that Xia Lin knew.
And when such beings obtain the blessing of the universe and achieve level twelfth, they naturally possess the power to crush their past selves and all those below level twelfth!
…
Level 12 Trait 1: Unlimited Growth.
This allows the twelfth-level professional to break through the attribute limits, while greatly enhancing the racial value and physical fitness of the twelfth-level professional.
Taking into account that most of the level 12s have already reached their attribute limits at level 11, this enhancement has made their basic attributes absolutely different from their former selves and the likes of Xia Lin Wuxin!
Level 12 Trait 2: Cosmic Gift (God-given Transcendence).
This allows a level 12 professional, even without the six-pillar-level skills and props specially provided by the six pillars, to bring down power-hungry dogs like Wuxin and bring both sides back to the same starting line.
Level 12 Trait 3: System Integration.
This allows the twelfth-level professional to completely transform into the self of his dreams - as a professional, who would not fantasize about things like "If I had such a skill, my skill set would absolutely be invincible" and "If I can find these skills, then I will have a system with bugs and unsolvable problems"?
The system integration during promotion turned the dream into reality and allowed the level 12 professionals to complete their essential transformation!
In the reflection of Victor's right eye, after a brief period of discomfort, Wuxin in his dead form stabilized the situation again.
——And the so-called stable situation has changed from being beaten just now to the current reluctant resistance.
In those eyes, which should have been calm and composed, a tiny ripple of solemnity appeared.
Wu Xin certainly knew the various characteristics of Level Twelve, and he was also aware that in front of Level Twelve, everything he relied on to roam the Ashes Zone had turned into a dream bubble.
However, the experience of "battle" with the immortals under the Creator in the past, and the remarks made when chatting with the immortals, "The twelfth level of the Black Domain is insignificant, the gap in strength between them and us", made the proud Wuxin commit the sin of "arrogance" from the very beginning.
He thought that he could challenge a Black Domain Level Twelve single-handedly.
But it turns out that he can't.
"It's just not possible right now..."
The ripples in his eyes slowly subsided.
That body filled with death suddenly began to sparkle with life as bright as a diamond.
The talent of life and death provides Wuxin with three states: life, death, and half-life and half-death.
And when the diamond light shines, it blooms into the ultimate form of Wuxin: the dazzling light of the superposition of life and death!
Dean just grinned, his gapped teeth looking darker under the careless light.
Having lived in the Black Domain for a long time, he was not aware of Wuxin's reputation.
But why should Dean, who has already reached level twelfth, avoid the edge of those at a lower level?
Should I avoid him?
No, no, no, I have to tell you what it means that your uncle will always be your uncle!
I have to show you the strict hierarchical order under the professional system!
Then, a black light began to erupt, enveloping Dean.
At this moment, Dean seemed to have turned into a black hole, swallowing up all the light emitted by Wuxin.
But this is not the end.
The black light, which had the shape of a black hole and also possessed the power of a black hole, slowly retracted and merged into Dean's body, filling his soul, his body, and every one of his cells.
When the black light completely subsided, Dean's appearance did not change significantly.
Wuxin and Donald, however, clearly realized that the danger emanating from Dean was far greater than before!
The changes brought about by the system integration when promoted to level 12 cannot be simply described with words such as "an additional skill or a missing skill" or "the effect of a certain skill has been changed".
This integration is a profound transformation that "cannot be understood by those who have not experienced it" and "cannot be perfectly described by those who have experienced it."
It transforms all the skills of the professional into a complete and perfect whole. The interweaving and interlocking of at least twelve skills and talents together build up the absolute strength of a level twelve strong man!
And one point that must be mentioned is that the twelfth-level trait one: unlimited growth, also has such a function.
It breaks the limitation of enhancement skills that can only stack temporary attributes a hundred times at most!
Devourer Dean named his level 12 skill set the Black Hole System.
And when he attacked again, the hideousness of the black hole system revealed the tip of the iceberg.
It was like a moving black hole passing through the starry sky, instantly creating a dark path along the way.
Because Dean was running so fast, this route seemed to appear out of thin air and connected to Wuxin in an instant.
And Wuxin has not even completed the transformation from the dead form to the superposition of life and death...
The transformation does not take a long time, it may be just a blink of an eye, or just a moment, but it is not an instant after all.
Instead of an instant, it gave Dean, who was at level 12, an absolute chance to take the initiative!
Just at this moment when Wuxin's body had not yet stabilized and the death and vitality had not yet blended, two hands as strong as rocks had already grabbed Wuxin's shoulders, one on the left and one on the right.
The difference in size and attributes made it easy for Dean to pinch Wuxin, just like a strong man pinching a baby.
However, this is not the most terrifying thing.
The most terrifying thing is that countless tiny black holes that can only be observed from a microscopic perspective began to rotate inside Dean's body!
His hands, his torso, and every cell in his internal organs seemed to have turned into tiny but powerful black holes.
On the one hand, this brought Dean a temporary attribute increase of more than ten thousand times.
On the other hand, even if Dean doesn't need to do anything and just stands there, he can still cause heavy trauma to everything around him!
The space was pulled by countless black holes and began to twist and overlap.
Donald, who was not far away, couldn't even see Dean and Wuxin due to the interference of the distorted gravitational waves.
Even though the two energies of life and death were more stable than the rules of space, they were still shaken by this powerful suction. They were swallowed into Dean's body bit by bit, turning into abundant energy, which urged Dean's strength to reach new heights!
Under the protection of God-given transcendent power, there is no need to consider the so-called skill authority judgment.
In other words, the 12th level strongman can choose whether to fight for this judgment - facing the weak, weighting the insignificant 12th level judgment can give them an advantage. And facing the authority dog with six-pillar means, they can also choose to pull everything back to the same starting line.
With the right to choose, I can fight within the rules, or I can jump out of the rules and choose another track!
——The right to choose does not mean transcendence, but having the right to choose is the starting point of transcendence.
This is exactly why Victor named the twelfth level the Transcendence Period.
At this moment, in Dean's eyes, all resistance from Wuxin will be crushed into slag by his physical fitness and black hole system which far surpass Wuxin's!
Until the black and white eyes suddenly opened, and chaotic light and shadow roared in an instant.
The Eternal Dark Sky Sword pierced through Dean's jaw at an incredible angle and with incredible force, then pierced out from the top of Dean's head, bringing out a black light stream that looked like blood.
"Hey, old man, are you being too arrogant?"
The hoarse voice showed determination.
The son of the six pillars never fears a strong enemy.
Whether it's Xia Lin, Donald, or the level twelfth person in front of him.
…
Xia Lin didn’t know the characteristics of level twelfth, nor did he know what kind of advantages his eternal engraving replacement system could bring him at a higher level.
Of the strong men at this level or above that he had come into contact with, besides the Six Pillars, the only other one was Victor.
But he was not sticking to Victor day and night, and Victor had never specifically introduced these things to Xia Lin.
Donald had mentioned it lightly before, but Xia Lin didn't care - because he couldn't have predicted that he would come into contact with a level 12 existence in the Cinders Zone in advance.
But never mind anything else, the fact that he had collided head-on with the Level 12 Pale King Nicholas was already an established fact.
All around, stars shone, slightly lighting up the cold universe.
But the light was not warm, but rather freezing cold.
Even colder than the light was the look on Nikola's face in front of him and the energy fluctuations emanating from his body.
"Give me the book of the spirit world."
No more gentleness, no more kindness.
He just spoke calmly, as if it was only natural for Xia Lin to give him the book on the spiritual world.
Pale ripples slowly spread out from the body of Nicholas, who looked like a middle-aged gentleman.
Space and time condensed and then shattered.
When the pale ripples finally reached Xia Lin, penetrated the defensive layer covering Xia Lin's body and touched Xia Lin's body, Xia Lin finally turned his attention from the changes in the way of heaven back to Nicholas in front of him.
Ning Feng's ascension to heaven replaced the Heavenly Dao of the Black Domain, bringing about a series of impacts.
Xia Lin could naturally sense the unusual movement in the way of heaven. In fact, he was still thinking about this matter just now.
However, after Nikola appeared, the changes in the way of heaven were obviously no longer Xia Lin's most important issue.
When the cold energy wave touched his body, Xia Lin felt the chill.
It's like a slippery poisonous snake, wrapping around your body, wriggling gently, rubbing slowly.
Compared to the disgusting coldness, the fangs of the poisonous snake that might be exposed at any time would bring greater psychological pressure to Xia Lin.
"There is no reminder sound for the Ashes area..."
In the void, Xia Lin spoke slowly.
Yes, there is no Jhin zone notification sound.
This icy energy undoubtedly brought a debuff to Xia Lin...but the Jhin Zone system did not specify what it was.
This is understandable - the Cinder system, as a subsidiary system under the professional system, does not even cover level 12.
This also made Xia Lin a little bit flustered.
Because there was no notification sound for the Jhin Zone, it meant that he had no idea how effective his defense system was, and he had no idea whether his unstable mutation talent was effective...
However, soon, as the colors of steel and darkness appeared in the body, the cold and slippery touch slowly disappeared, and the invisible psychological pressure also disappeared.
Somehow Xia Lin realized that steel belonged to the Lord of East Wind, and darkness belonged to the Ghost Five Elements Black Huang Zhan.
Even without the prompt sound of the Cinders area, East Wind Lord, the core skill of Xia Lin's defense system, was still protecting himself in an alternative way. Combined with the black source power brought by Ghost Five Elements Black Huang Slash, Xia Lin did not fall into a disadvantage in this first tentative confrontation.
Seeing this scene, Xia Lin's eyes were slightly enlightened.
Although he didn't know the various characteristics of the level 12, this simple confrontation was enough for Xia Lin to notice some problems and complete the initial adaptation to confronting a level 12 strongman.
"There seems to be a problem with the authority determination of talents and skills."
"The confrontation between skills seems to be based on a non-data-based and more ambiguous judgment standard."
It is impossible to judge who is stronger between the judgment authority of that cold energy and the Lord of East Wind.
When facing level 12, this set of standards no longer seems to apply, but has instead transformed into a more realistic, non-data-based confrontation.
——The cold energy had an impact on Xia Lin, but as the Lord of East Wind and Ghost Five Elements Black Huang Slash exerted their strength, this impact was slowly dispelled by Xia Lin.
In this process, strength is no longer determined by the level of skills, but by one's own attributes and energy intensity.
Attribute energy is the foundation, and innate skills become weapons.
Without a strong foundation, no matter how sharp the weapon is, it is difficult to hurt people.
"That's not good..."
Xia Lin noticed the problem.
Yes, making judgments outside of the inherent framework can be seriously disadvantageous to oneself.
Because the attributes of a level twelfth being will only be higher than oneself, the energy intensity of level twelfth will inevitably surpass oneself.
12＞9, this is common sense.
This greatly reduces the room for tricks when determining levels based on skills, and the difference in strength will be presented in combat performance in the most intuitive and violent way!
Just like now!
The pale ripple was not just one, but continuous.
At first, they were just ripples caused by a stone thrown into a calm lake, but as time passed, in just a few breaths, they had turned into raging waves!
The raging waves swept towards Xia Lin, and it took Xia Lin quite a while to deal with that ripple. Although it consumed not much, it was definitely not a negligible amount of mental energy.
Amidst the waves of pale ripples, the source of everything: the Pale King slowly spoke.
"I only want the book of the spiritual world, not your life..."
"But that was before. When I appeared in front of you in person, I had no choice but to take them all."
In Nicholas' eyes, Xia Lin had been swept up by the pale wave, and it was only a matter of time before he turned into white crystal sand.
In Nikola's opinion, the famous Ash Walker is still a junior after all, and he only needs to make a slight move to decide Xia Lin's life and death.
However, ten seconds, thirty seconds, and even a full minute passed, but the expected scene of Xia Lin turning into white crystal sand did not appear.
This made Nicholas stunned, and then he looked at Xia Lin who was eroded by the pale waves.
But there was no erosion.
Xia Lin stood there motionless, not only was he unharmed, but he also held his chin with one hand, as if he was lost in thought.
Nicholas: ...
In the silence, the pale fluctuations gradually subsided, which made Xia Lin look up at Nicholas with a malicious smile.
"I thought it was so awesome, but this is all it is?"
This is not a psychological warfare, but Xia Lin’s true feelings.
Because of Nicholas' pale fluctuations, Xia Lin realized such a thing.
——Level 12 has higher attributes, a possibly stronger skill system, and the ability to ignore judgment.
But ignoring the judgment does not mean ignoring the effects of the skill itself!
This leads to the following problem: although the numerical monsters have been greatly strengthened at the twelfth level, this does not mean that the mechanism monsters at this stage are completely defeated by the numerical monsters - the premise is that your mechanism cannot be a simple mechanism that suppresses people with judgment authority, such as the unintentional curse seal system.
In the brief contact just now, Xia Lin still did not receive any prompt sound of the Cinder Zone, but after experiencing the attack of 259 pale waves, he suddenly became immune to the pale waves...
The reason for immunity is clear at a glance!
Six-pillar level skill, eternal engraving is effective!
When fighting against a level 12 opponent, due to the characteristics of the level 12, the effects of some skills will not be fully effective as described in the instructions - for example, Wuxin's curse seal system, at the level 12 stage, because the cause and effect entanglement has been greatly weakened, it can only be partially effective or even not effective at all, resulting in this system that wins by authority level, unable to produce the expected results.
For example, for Eternal Inscription, when facing level 12, it will not be a fixed number of four inscriptions, but the number of times required will be determined based on the strength of the opponent and his skills.
The answer submitted by Eternal Engraving to Pale Fluctuation is: 259 times.
But no matter how many times it is needed, the fundamental effect of the skill will not change, nor will it be affected by the divine power of transcendence - after all, the Eternal Engraving has engraved the skill of Pale Fluctuation and included it in Xia Lin's permanent skill column.
[Pale Fluctuation (Racial Heritage Level): Active skill. Once activated, it will emit energy ripples. The lethality and frequency of the energy ripples depend on your attributes and energy properties! This skill has no cooldown and can be turned on or off at any time.]
To be fair, this is just a very simple skill, and in Xia Lin's hands, there is not much room for him to use it.
But this shows the fact that Xia Lin's eternal engraving replacement system is still effective at the twelfth level!
The effectiveness of the Eternal Inscription Replacement System means that at this level, Xia Lin can still be the "plunder everything, what's yours is mine" mechanism monster!
His mechanical strengths will not be weakened in any way by his level 12 characteristics.
A flash of red appeared.
The cross-shaped sword light instantly penetrated through layers of obstacles and pierced Xia Lin's chest!
In front, Nicholas held a slender sword with a bloody mist in his hand and smiled at Xia Lin.
"And now?"
He responded to Xia Lin's "That's it" with practical actions.
