Chapter 399 Witness
There is no need for threats or reminiscing, let alone evaluation or calculation.
Instinct replaces thinking, and muscles replace brains.
——This was Xia Lin’s first impression of the battle between the Immortal Emperor and the Demon Emperor at the end of the old days.
The long battle has made both sides know each other well.
They are so familiar with each other that they can perfectly predict what the opponent's next move will be and what trump card the opponent will pull out.
The battle with the enemy has become an instinct engraved in the soul.
So, no need for anything fancy.
In fact, both of them knew exactly how this battle would end - it would still end in a draw, with no clear winner or a beginning but no end...
Logically speaking, fighting to this point is meaningless.
They cannot kill each other, and the only ones that will be hurt are the flowers and plants nearby.
However, hatred drives these two future six pillars to continue the contest with no end in sight.
Immortals turn into ghosts, and humans turn into beasts.
They have long been blood-thirsty.
In front of Yu Xialin, on the battlefield where two pillars collided, a strong light suddenly appeared!
A light far stronger than a supernova explosion instantly swept across Xia Lin's eyes. Even with Xia Lin's strength, he felt a stinging pain in his eyes and his vision was blurred.
However, at the moment when the strong light burst out, the whole world suddenly became quiet.
The light was frozen, and the astonishing air and energy waves that were about to erupt seemed to have been slowed down, advancing layer by layer and moving slowly.
"That is..."
An ethereal voice came out from Xia Lin's mouth, as if it was spoken underwater, and it was unclear.
His movements also became extremely slow. It felt like it took him more than ten seconds to turn his head towards Donald.
Donald's attributes were superior to Xia Lin's. Xia Lin was not blinded by the strong light, and neither was Donald.
At this moment, Donald had already taken a step forward and was about to charge forward. When he heard Xia Lin's question, the same ethereal voice rang out from Donald's mouth.
"A cosmic bug has appeared..."
"The original dark side is under stress..."
"The passage to the second level of the Dark Realm has been opened..."
"Go in! Hurry up!"
The ethereal sound, combined with the slowed-down movements, gave Donald's words and actions a strange sense of dislocation.
Just as Donald took three steps, Xia Lin used his physical sense to straighten his neck and look at the battlefield where the two pillars collided.
At the core of the confrontation between the two, a ray of crystal clear energy appeared out of thin air, with a dazzling and eye-catching light. It rotated three times on the spot and then suddenly sank!
A hole as big as a planet illogically appeared in the center of the two pillars. The crystal clear energy sank into the hole and disappeared.
That's a cosmic bug!
Xia Lin suddenly understood.
He had previously speculated that the time when the cosmic bug would appear would be around the moment when the two pillars started fighting, and this speculation was accurate.
However, the cause of the cosmic bug was not the energy aftermath of the battle between the two pillars - no matter what, the essence of the battle between the two pillars was fake.
The fake battle between the two pillars might be able to destroy the uninvited guests who broke into the dark world, but it could not create a cosmic bug in the void.
The real cause of the cosmic bug is Donald’s second sentence.
The original dark side is under stress...
If this reappearance of the past is regarded as a dream of the original dark side, then it is undoubtedly a nightmare.
Two executioners are dismembering you... this nightmare is so scary.
And when the two pillars collide, it is equivalent to the two executioners, who have sharpened their knives and axes, coming to your operating table and holding up the instruments in their hands high.
What happens then?
He would not really dream about the next step. He would just shiver in the previous second and then interrupt this nightmare!
And this trembling of the original dark side is the real cause of the cosmic bug.
At the same time, because the dream was interrupted by the Lord of Dreams, a gap appeared in this logically self-consistent dream.
The cosmic bug followed the gap, left this layer of dream, and fell into the second layer mentioned by Donald - and from Donald's tone, Xia Lin could hear that the second layer, or even deeper layers, was Donald's target.
The slowed-down time has not yet returned to normal.
Donald was already impatient to start charging.
As if realizing that Xia Lin had not moved, Donald did not even turn his head but just spoke again anxiously.
"Hurry! Hurry!"
The four shadows, along with Qin Tai and Leng Mo brought by Xia Lin, followed Donald's orders and set off in a frame-like motion.
However, Xia Lin remained motionless!
The stinging in my eyes has healed.
Another light burst out from Xia Lin's eyes.
Witness your natural talents and observation skills in full force.
At this moment, Xia Lin takes in the overall situation in slow motion!
He saw the Four Kings of the Black Realm.
The tall, toothless Devourer, Dean.
Like a fireball, a blazing white light whose true appearance cannot be seen at all, Hain.
The body size is as big as a satellite, and the appearance is like a giant turtle. The level 12 beastman is the star destroyer, Barclay.
The black rose with a slender figure, beautiful appearance and alluring appearance, the magic weapon, Bev.
No one knew where these four awesome guys had been hiding just now, but now as time slowed down and the cosmic bug appeared, they showed up at the first opportunity... After all, they were old visitors from the dark world.
Like Donald, they rushed towards the hole with a fearless attitude.
And behind them, more Black Domain villains followed closely.
He also saw that all the natives in the dream in the Demon Palace were frozen, with the expressions on their faces frozen at the second before the two pillars fought.
But these evil villains and natives in the Black Domain were obviously not important and were not enough to attract too much attention from Xia Lin.
What really made Xia Lin dazed was the strong light and shock wave generated by the fight between the two pillars!
Macro, micro.
Appearance, essence.
Xia Lin witnessed it with great difficulty... because the gap in strength was too big.
It turns out that the gift of witnessing has limitations.
When the power gap is so big that I can't understand how you make a move, the witness talent will not be effective.
However, the current situation allowed Xia Lin to seize the opportunity.
Right now, the two pillars are fighting, the cosmic bug appears, and the first layer of the dream: Reappearance of the Past begins to collapse.
Maybe this is not a collapse, after all, the structure here is still solid. But its time flow and underlying rules are indeed problematic - the movements of all outsiders are slowed down, and the natives in the dream, including the twin pillars, are also frozen on the spot, unable to move.
Even the aftermath of the two pillars' fight was frozen and slowed down...
So, in Xia Lin's eyes, this scene became a kind of on-site teaching.
Yes, under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for him to witness the skills and power essence of the double pillars, even though the double pillars here have not yet achieved six pillars and are much weaker than the current Lord of Heaven and Demon Emperor Yuhun.
But when their power was solidified, that brief and elusive moment became "eternity", and that rapid movement was transformed into an oil painting, Xia Lin could spend a certain amount of time to disassemble the meaning bit by bit and gain what he wanted.
The first thing to arrive is the upgrade of talent.
[Because you have witnessed the truth of the destruction of the past, your talent: a permanent foundation, gaining growth! ]
[Because you witnessed the fight between two extraordinary beings, your talent: permanent foundation, level upgrade! ]
From A level to S level!
The permanent skill bar has been increased from four to six!
First gain growth, then level up.
But after witnessing so many important things, the Eternal Foundation Stone was only upgraded to S-level...
This talent is indeed difficult to level up.
It may also be because what Xia Lin witnessed was fake and was a thing of the past, so it did not improve much.
The thought flashed through Xia Lin's mind, but he didn't think deeply about the reason behind it.
Because now he really has no time to think about these things.
Seeing the light getting brighter and brighter, Xia Lin's eyes widened as he analyzed and disassembled it frantically, and even bloodshot appeared in his eyes.
The mixed energies were slowly but surely broken down into different forces, different essences, and different skills.
Then, more warning sounds began to blare!
【Witness the talent taking effect! 】
[Eternal engraving takes effect! ]
[Rule conflict detected...]
[Note: The ability you are currently witnessing does not conform to the judgment logic below level 12, but it also does not conform to the judgment logic of level 12... After balancing, your skill, Eternal Inscription, will still follow the skill description and take effect according to the logic of four inscriptions.]
The prompt sound disappeared in a flash, but Xia Lin's mouth corners suddenly raised.
This is great news.
The rules of the old universe are different from the rules of the new universe - otherwise the original dark side would not be able to create cosmic bugs so easily.
In Xia Lin's heart, he was actually prepared to bear witness to the ineffectiveness of his eternal engraving.
Because you cannot use the sword of the previous dynasty to kill the officials of today.
However, the skill of Eternal Engraving, which was created by the Demon Emperor himself, was so powerful that it exceeded Xia Lin's expectations!
It broke through the differences in the rules of the new and old cosmic power systems, and became the biggest help for Xia Lin to gain benefits at this moment!
【Witness the talent taking effect! 】
[You have witnessed the skill: Soul Strike, number of engravings: 1! ]
【Witness the talent taking effect! 】
[You have witnessed the skill: Dark Divine Light...]
[You have witnessed the skill: Photosynthetic Spiritual Pattern...]
[You have witnessed the skill: All Paths Return to their Origin...]
[You have witnessed the skill: All things return to their origin...]
[You have witnessed the skill: Demonic True Origin...]
Too many.
The Lord of Heaven and the Demon Emperor of Soul Control have too many skills.
Xia Lin didn’t know whether the rules of the old universe were different from those of now, and professionals were not restricted by skill slots, or whether these two had a way to break through the restrictions.
In short, after only one fight between the two, Xia Lin was able to pull off too many skills, and even more were hidden behind these skills and were not fully witnessed.
Donald's voice suddenly rang in my ears.
It was like being immersed in water: "Xia Lin! What are you doing! Quick!!"
He urged, but Xia Lin simply said: "Gather inside! No need to wait for me! I have something else to do!"
Xia Lin will not miss this opportunity.
Although, after witnessing it once, one needs to endure it three more times before gaining the skill... Xia Lin still won't miss it.
He had a premonition that what he was seeing now might be one of the best opportunities he had ever experienced. If he missed this opportunity, he might never have it again.
Donald is racing against time.
But Xia Lin needs time.
After realizing that Xia Lin had made up his mind, Donald stopped trying to persuade her and just shouted, "Everyone, follow my path!"
Then he led the crowd and rushed into the distance with his head covered.
Xia Lin also regained his focus.
"The attacks of these two are like a frenzy of skills!"
"Skills are components. Various skills have been disassembled, atomized, and then re-integrated into a more comprehensive and more powerful force!"
At this moment, Xia Lin had a unique understanding of the nature of higher-level power.
If we say that Xia Lin’s current super skill set is forcibly formed by the compatibility between skills.
If we say that the skill system of Nikola at level 12 is forcibly integrated with the level 12 core skills as the center.
Then, these two Six Pillars who have not yet achieved the Six Pillars have already thoroughly understood the essence of the skills, taking the essence and removing the dross, and based on their own insights and wartime needs, they have reorganized the skills on the spot and artificially synthesized super skills.
One move includes thousands of skills.
Xia Lin couldn't replicate this operation at the moment, so it wasn't important.
"The important thing is that in this combination of skills, the core and strongest skills must be hidden in the deepest part where I can hardly witness it..."
That's why Xia Lin needs time.
Because he wanted to witness the most core and fundamental skills of the Lord of Heaven and the Demon Emperor, even if it was only one of them!
…
In the slow motion, Donald was the first to reach the periphery of the energy shock wave.
If you want to enter the hole leading to the next level, the energy explosion created by the collision of two pillars is the only obstacle.
As visitors to the original dark dream, Xia Lin and his group of outsiders naturally have to abide by the rules of this place. Even if the battle between the two pillars is just a replay of the past and just an illusion, outsiders will still be injured and die.
Only when you face this energy explosion head-on can you truly feel how powerful the twin pillars are.
The energy shock wave was as vast as a tsunami, filled with the power to destroy everything. Just by getting close to it, Donald had a premonition of death.
Cannot be touched, cannot be touched, anyone who touches will die!
However, this energy tide, which should not have had any loopholes, did have imperfections due to the stress of the original dark side.
Therefore, everyone who was close could see that in the energy tide that rolled as if in slow motion, there were energy gaps that appeared and disappeared from time to time.
This isn't a road... but it can be considered a road.
And this is the only way to reach the second level and obtain the cosmic bug.
The window period was relatively short, but for Donald, it was not that difficult to leave - after all, his strength among this group of outsiders was probably only second to the Four Kings of the Black Domain.
Even though he brought six younger brothers with him, Donald moved quickly. In the blink of an eye, he passed the energy tide, walked smoothly into the hole, and entered the second level.
This is the first batch.
The second group is the Four Kings of the Black Territory...
They are stronger and more experienced, so this level is not difficult for them. They even have enough energy to bring many cannon fodders with them to the next level.
The third group is the powerful villains in the Black Domain.
This group of people were quite capable and experienced, and after some of them suffered casualties, they were able to enter the cave relatively smoothly.
As for the rest, all suffered badly.
Either they simply don't understand the rules here, or they just don't have the strength.
If you take a wrong step, you will be completely destroyed by the energy tide, both your body and soul will be annihilated.
For a time, countless souls were buried on the road leading to the second floor, and countless people died suddenly!
Xia Lin remained motionless.
【Witness the talent taking effect! 】
[You have witnessed the skill: Netherworld...]
[You have witnessed the skill: Eight Corpse Gods Fission...]
The testimony goes deeper, but it is still not enough, at least it has not reached the core.
But suddenly, Xia Lin's cheek twitched.
He saw that the hole leading to the second floor actually began to shrink...
As the second-layer channel contracted, the energy tide that slowly spread outward also contracted in accordance with the contraction of the channel.
The contraction of the energy tide caused the road that appeared and disappeared at that time to shrink and become smaller. The frequency of flashing became faster and faster, and it became more and more difficult to walk on.
Xia Lin immediately realized why Donald kept saying the word "fast".
The window period from the first floor to the second floor is very short.
This is a time-consuming process in itself.
Xia Lin didn’t know what would happen once he missed the window period, and he didn’t want to try.
So he took a step forward, slowing down his witnessing efficiency, and began to sprint forward.
It's like walking in glue, with a sticky feeling all over the body.
The sticky feeling hindered Xia Lin's steps and slowed down his speed, but after a simple assessment, Xia Lin felt relieved.
With his speed and strength, he would be able to successfully pass through the energy explosion and enter the next level before the channel contracted.
【Witness the talent taking effect! 】
[You have witnessed the skill: dreams come true...]
[You have witnessed the skill: Balance of Power...]
[You have witnessed the skill: Wuhua Cave Heaven...]
Witnessing is like nimble fingers, peeling back the layers of an onion.
The three skills of Dream Come True, Balance of Power, and Wuhua Cave Heaven are already the third of the sub-core levels of this energy explosion...
"But it's not enough... it's still not enough..."
As I was thinking this, a chill suddenly came from afar.
Xia Lin suddenly stopped and looked into the distance.
In the distance, the being called the Immortal Emperor also turned around and looked at Xia Lin!
Slowly but surely, He broke free from the constraints of the first layer of the rules of the reappearance of the old days!
An exaggerated, devil-like smile slowly emerged.
At the center of his eyebrows, the life planet that should be the Demon Emperor’s hometown was spinning and glowing faintly.
The light suddenly flashed, and Wuxin's figure emerged from it and appeared in front of the Immortal Emperor's eyebrows.
He gave Xia Lin a sinister smile, which was three points similar to the Immortal Emperor's smile at this moment.
Amidst the exploding light, Wuxin lightly hooked his hand, and the Immortal Emperor also lightly hooked his fingertips.
Luo Zhidao, who was supposed to be captured by Xia Lin, suddenly appeared in front of Wuxin and was kicked into the hole on the second floor by Wuxin.
The next second, Wuxin raised his head and looked down at Xia Lin.
"Die here and taste my father's power!"
Then he entered the second floor without looking back.
Because of this delay, time became very tight for Xia Lin.
What’s even more terrifying is the “hehe” laughter that slowly sounded.
The Immortal Emperor slowly raised his hand, pointed his fingertips at Xia Lin, and then light slowly burst out.
However, in the next second after the flash of light, another black light swung out from not far away and accurately intercepted the Immortal Emperor's finger!
He broke free from the constraints of the first layer of rules.
But if He can do it, there is no reason why another person here cannot do it!
The low voice exploded again.
The Demon Emperor, who was so angry about killing, probably couldn't understand the current situation...
But one thing is clear.
——Whatever the enemy wants to do, just curb it. Whoever the enemy wants to save, just kill him. Whoever the enemy wants to kill, just save him.
The battle of instincts, the logic is actually that simple... but effective!
Just as the lights collided and new energy exploded, the Demon Emperor suddenly tilted his head, and after scanning Xia Lin, he looked at the energy void not far away.
"My...father?"
As he chewed on these two words, blood suddenly gushed out of his eyes!
"You are worthy of having an heir!?"
The little finger of his right hand suddenly broke, but it turned into a giant pillar, fell into the cave, and went to the second floor.
When it was about to disappear, Xia Lin seemed to see that this little finger had turned into a smaller Demon Emperor.
The "hehe" laughter rang out again.
The Immortal Emperor just smiled and exhaled a turbid breath.
The blood on the tip of the tongue is the flesh, the teeth are the bones, and the breath is the soul.
A simulated clone was created instantly and also stepped into the second level.
The reminder sound rang in Xia Lin's ears again.
【Witness the talent taking effect! 】
[You have witnessed the skill: Soul Creation...]
[You have witnessed the skill: One Qi becomes Three Pure Ones...]
With a "boom", the light exploded again.
The two pillars collided again, and violent shock waves spread out again.
Xia Lin only felt that a huge wave was coming towards him, about to crush him.
However, within the vast energy, there was a gleam of chaotic light, which repelled the energy tide and manually cleared a passage to the second level for Xia Lin!
The former Demon Emperor helped Xia Lin at the critical moment.
Again, what the enemy wants to do is what I want to stop.
This time, Xia Lin no longer hesitated.
He quickly rushed to the second-level hole.
Just as his figure was about to fall into the second level, Xia Lin looked back again, and with his bloody eyes, he finally looked at the old Lord of Heaven and the Demon Emperor of Soul.
The last layer of the onion is peeled off.
