Chapter 402: Skills acquired, the curtain opens!
Xia Lin is no stranger to the word "uniqueness".
So far, he has acquired a unique skill: Eternal Engraving, and a unique item: The Book of the Spirit World.
However, this was the first time Xia Lin had encountered using Eternal Inscription to copy another unique skill, and he had no ready-made examples in his mind.
Furthermore, considering that the place they were currently in was the Dark Realm, the home of the primordial Dark Side. The object of the inscription wasn't the true head of the Six Pillars: the Creator of Heavenly Dao, but rather the dummy, the avatar, and even the deeper dummy within the primordial Dark Side's subconscious. The inscribed Heavenly Dao equation wasn't the authentic Heavenly Dao equation held by the Creator of Heavenly Dao in the main universe, but rather the Heavenly Dao equation held by the Immortal Emperor of the past—similar to the difference between an initial rough draft and a final version...
This undoubtedly brings about different types of rule conflicts - the conflict between the new and old universe rules, the conflict between true and false rules, and the most obvious conflict between uniqueness rules.
All these factors made it impossible for Xia Lin to find the answer to this question at the moment.
To be honest, the conflict of rules was beyond the scope of Xia Lin's level. And the conflict of multiple underlying rules made Xia Lin's analysis a bit ridiculous, like "peasants think the emperor will use a golden hoe to dig the land."
I can only stop thinking about this problem for now.
Turn your head and look at your left arm.
The left arm that was destroyed by the Heavenly Dao Equation has slowly recovered under the power of fair trade.
But it is easy to say, the power of this blow is really not simple - only Xia Lin, the victim, knows how much he paid in a fair trade in order to repair the damage of this blow.
But my chips don't seem to be free? That's fine...
The thought flashed through his mind, and Xia Lin looked up and forward again.
In front of him, the man named Bai looked at Xia Lin with horror, as if to say, "Who the hell are you!?"
A stranger suddenly appeared out of nowhere and disrupted his plans. Anyone would be anxious about this.
Xia Lin ignored the man's expression and just looked at his heart.
The bloody hand had retracted and disappeared.
White, not important.
Just now, Xia Lin had confirmed Bai's strength through witnessing and observation - overall, he was slightly weaker than himself at the moment.
——And this is the obvious difference. It is well known that because the skill set can be adjusted before the battle, and Xia Lin has a huge reserve of super skill systems, Xia Lin’s real strength is much stronger than on paper.
With this calculation, the gap in strength between the two sides becomes even greater.
The key point is the Immortal Emperor in Bai's body...
Thinking of the power of the Immortal Emperor that he had witnessed in the First Level: Reappearance of the Past, he realized that he still needed to engrave the Equation of Heaven once more before he could acquire it.
Xia Lin didn't dare to attack directly, but turned his head to look at the Demon Lord who had escaped the disaster.
I saved your life, and the situation is unclear right now, so can you come and help me explore the way, okay?
However, this glance made Xia Lin stunned again.
Because the Demon Lord who was rescued by him did not stand on the verge of a fight with his old body... Instead, he stood stiffly on the spot without moving, like a sculpture.
The most eye-catching thing is its body.
Inside its body, a chaotic mass of light and shadow kept spinning, vaguely condensing into the shape of half a stone pillar.
Xia Lin thought of the literacy training that the Demon Emperor’s clone had done before.
——At this point in time, the greatest treasure of the old universe: the God-given Stone, was split into two parts, one half in the body of the Overlord, and the other half in the body of the Demon.
From this perspective, there is a reasonable explanation for the Demon Lord's current abnormal behavior - He is mobilizing the power of the God-given Stone...
However, Xia Lin didn't think so.
Because from the half of the stone pillar that had not yet condensed, Xia Lin vaguely smelled a familiar scent.
That is one of the six pillars of the main universe: the taste of the original dark side!
…
Same time, another place.
The ruler of the sky slowly withdrew his gaze from the outside world.
Although He was also puzzled as to why there were so many Tang Haofeis... but after wondering, the Lord did not waste any more brain cells.
——The Overlord has never been a person who is good at using his brain or likes to use his brain. Because the super muscles actually suppress the brain power...
Why use your brain when you can solve a problem with your fists?
What's more, in terms of the life and death battle system of the old universe, the more Tang Haofei there are, the better it is for the Overlord - because the Overlord's life and death battle system can borrow Tang Haofei's resurrection times and even life as its own resurrection times.
Tang Haofei can be his external resurrection pendant!
The Immortal Emperor's clone also did not pay attention to the situation in the outside world - because the Demon Emperor's clone used some means to block the Immortal Emperor's clone's perception of the outside world.
The Immortal Emperor simply glanced at the Lord and quickly smiled.
Because after a brief observation, the Immortal Emperor's clone discovered this fact.
During this period, the master who should theoretically possess the God-given Stone does not have it now!
This false master was not fully formed and lacked the power of the God-given stone that could suppress, veto, and create everything.
Without this power, the famous master is nothing more than a brainless man who has mastered the life and death battle system of the old universe, has almost infinite means of resurrection, and has max physical attributes.
The Immortal Emperor...even if he is just the incarnation of the former Immortal Emperor, he is not afraid of you!
"From this perspective, it seems that the future six pillars will still be unable to replicate the universe's treasure, the Heavenly Stone..."
"Well, that makes sense. After all, I have been in control of half of the God-given Stone for such a long time, and I can only analyze, absorb and digest a very small part of its power. The same is true for Wen Yu."
'Even if the rules in the new universe change, and my strength improves, in theory I cannot perfectly replicate the Heavenly Stone. At most I can only be on par with it.'
In the old universe, the God-given stone represents the origin of the universe and the beginning of all things. Logically speaking, this stone is the supreme existence in the old universe.
The level of status is equivalent to the six pillars of the new universe.
Of course, because of the different forms of existence, the God-given Stone is ultimately just a dead object. It can be possessed, absorbed, and even destroyed without resistance. In the late Destruction Era, the God-given Stone was even destroyed by the Immortal Emperor and the Demon Emperor... But in theory, the God-given Stone is indeed the highest grade in the old universe, leading the way.
This results in a power that the original dark side cannot simulate at all. He doesn't have that ability!
Therefore, it is impossible for the God-given Stone to appear in the subconscious of the dark world and the original dark side!
"That's easy..."
The Immortal Emperor muttered this in his heart, and took the six-pillar-level item, the Eternal Dark Sky Sword, which Wuxin handed over.
Foundational skills: Enlighten, take action! Enlighten the wisdom of all things!
The Eternal Dark Sky Sword suddenly twisted, and in an instant it turned into a majestic young man.
At first glance, the skill set of the enlightened Eternal Dark Sky Sword caught the attention of the Immortal Emperor's clone - among them was the skill that he needed, the skill of strangling the means of resurrection.
All of his internal organs glowed, and the Immortal Emperor's incarnation used the Wuhua Cave Heaven to absorb it into his own body, thereby gaining its skills!
Don’t underestimate these operations because they are simple… They involve unique rules (Wuhua Cave Heaven is a unique skill), and even more so, the conflict between the rules of the true and false universes (Yongming Sky Blade is a six-pillar-level item, and the six-pillar level is a concept that only exists in the new universe).
However, these problems were all easily bypassed and even exploited by the Immortal Emperor.
The next second, the Heavenly Equation starts!
A foundation-level "inevitable lethal skill atom" was extracted by the Immortal Emperor, and after being reorganized with other skill atoms, it was transformed into a temporary skill.
Absolutely fatal!
In a flash of the skill light, the absolutely lethal force has covered everyone present except the master.
——It is absolutely lethal and also a group buff skill!
The Immortal Emperor snapped his fingers and said, "Let's go together and kill him."
…
"This is complicated..."
After feeling the aura emanating from the demon's body, Xia Lin dared not act rashly.
Because he suddenly realized something.
At this moment, he was standing on the territory of the Original Dark Side... and even went deep into the mind of the Original Dark Side and entered the subconscious of the Original Dark Side.
Since entering the dark world, Xia Lin has witnessed a lot and gained a lot. The dazzling past events and the endless powerful skills have dazzled Xia Lin's eyes and even made him relax unconsciously.
Therefore, he overlooked that the greatest danger of this place lay not in the past, not in the grudges with Wuxin, but in the very nature of this place—this was the home turf of the original dark side! This was the direct territory of the Six Pillars!
The Demon Lord's abnormality was like a basin of cold water poured on Xia Lin's head, awakening Xia Lin's spirit.
And when he saw the shadow of the half stone pillar starting to rotate again in the demon's body, the chill in his heart became even greater, until he reached the top!
Because that half of the stone pillar suddenly accelerated its rotation and turned into a deep vortex that looked like a purple eye.
Somehow, Xia Lin seemed to sense that the purple eye was staring at him without blinking...but before Xia Lin could respond, the eye slightly turned and looked elsewhere.
That's where Bai is...
From the beginning... probably when Xia Lin looked at the Demon Lord, Bai froze on the spot like the Demon Lord, motionless.
It was not until the purple eyes turned to him again that he regained his vitality.
"Who the hell are you?!"
He finally said what he wanted to say... The time that just solidified did not exist for him and disappeared forever in his memory.
But isn't that natural?
After all, in essence, he is just a fake person living in the imagination of the original dark side, and he does not have the omnipotent power of the two emperors of immortals and demons at the end of the old days.
The Lord of This Place: The original dark side, you can manipulate him however you want.
After realizing this, Xia Lin suddenly lost the joy of obtaining the Heavenly Dao Equation...
Because he also realized such a problem - whether this skill can be successfully acquired in the future does not depend on himself, but on the thoughts of that existence.
Even that existence itself does not have any thoughts or ideas.
After a short wait, under the gaze of those purple eyes, Bai finally moved.
He suddenly took a step forward and rushed forward, approaching Xia Lin in an instant. At the same time, light flashed on his body, and the bloody hand on his heart stretched out again, carrying the light of the skill of the Equation of Heaven, and attacked Xia Lin!
But at this moment, Xia Lin's eyes showed multiple lights, witnessing the full effect of this moment, bringing a lot of additional information that he should not have witnessed.
——Xia Lin saw the state of the Immortal Emperor at this moment. He was neither alive nor dead. He was about to be resurrected but had not officially completed the resurrection.
Therefore, the Immortal Emperor during this period was extremely weak and could be described as a baby version of the Immortal Emperor.
In the old days, the Immortal Emperor died at the hands of the Overlord. As the strongest being in the universe and the owner of half of the Heavenly Stone, the Overlord would not leave the Immortal Emperor a chance to resurrect if he wanted to kill someone in the old universe.
Theoretically, the Immortal Emperor was already completely dead... but he used some methods and arrangements that Xia Lin couldn't understand at all to complete his rebirth after thousands of generations.
The price was extremely tragic - the current Immortal Emperor only retained the foundational skill of the Heavenly Dao Equation, and the Heavenly Dao Equation currently mastered by the Immortal Emperor did not retain any skill atoms!
The first move he just launched against the Demon Lord was to destroy the skill that Bai had prepared in advance!
As for the Immortal Emperor in this state, there is no attribute or racial value to speak of - at this stage, he has no entity.
The basis on which he relied was entirely the white flesh.
The skill replacement was completed instantly, and Xia Lin changed himself into a super skill set called Absolute Defense.
Furthermore, the power of the Heavenly Dao Equation was weakened by half, leaving it only one-eighth of its original value...
The two sides separated at the first touch, and the shadow of the balance behind Xia Lin flashed again, using dozens of six-pillar skills as chips to offset the last heavenly equation.
At this point, the skill is officially acquired!
Bai turned and ran.
Xia Lin did not chase after him, but just watched Bai run away, then turned around and looked at the Demon Lord again.
At this moment, the purple eye in the demon's body was also looking at Xia Lin.
After hesitating for a moment, Xia Lin suddenly said, "Thank you... and, do you have something to talk to me about?"
His eyes blinked slightly.
However, He could not convey any effective information.
From the Junyou incident, we can actually see such a thing - the original dark side is not absolutely brainless... It can give birth to self-awareness, but because of the nature of power, the new self-will is constantly erased and cannot be maintained for long.
This is equivalent to the new will just being born, before it has time to learn to speak and communicate, it has already been destroyed. Then the original dark side continues this cycle...
This means that, superficially, the original dark side is the inability to communicate with others.
He could only use simple "body" movements instead of verbal communication - but Xia Lin was not good at this...
After a long time, he still didn't understand what the original dark side meant.
I can only spread my hands helplessly: "I'm leaving..."
He retreated carefully, and when he saw the purple eyes in the demon's body slowly disappear and finally turn into half a stone pillar again, Xia Lin was sure that the original dark side did not hinder his thoughts, so he immediately fled for his life, not daring to stay for a second.
It was not until Xia Lin left the Demon Palace that he stopped to open his personal information panel and look at the newly acquired Heavenly Dao Equation.
I sighed in my heart and thought to myself that it was just as I expected.
Because in the skill description, the engraved Heavenly Equation has one more line of notes than before...
[Note: Due to the conflict between the uniqueness rule and the universe rule, you cannot use this skill under normal circumstances! ]
The fact that it could not be used was actually within Xia Lin's expectations.
But Xia Lin was a little confused about the five words "under normal circumstances"...
The skill takes effect as soon as you think about it.
The light of the Heavenly Dao Equation suddenly appeared and flowed, startling Xia Lin.
Because here, he can use this skill!
This also seems to indicate that using the Heavenly Dao Equation in the dark world or in the subconscious fragments of the original dark side is not normal!
But before Xia Lin could continue with further experiments, a violent roar suddenly sounded from the horizon.
Xia Lin looked up and saw that the sky had collapsed. Dozens of figures fell from the unknown space into reality and continued to fight!
Xia Lin saw the figures of the Four Kings of the Black Domain, the Immortal Emperor's clone, Wuxin and other familiar faces, and the one fighting with them was an ancient demon with an astonishing physique, ten meters tall.
Just as this scene was happening, Xia Lin suddenly narrowed his eyes.
As enlightenment grew in his mind, Xia Lin suddenly took a deep breath and his figure completely disappeared into the darkness.
…
The Immortal Emperor's clone at this moment can be likened to a reborn person.
The powerful man from the end of the old times returned to the time before his rebirth with a small portion of his strength and intact memories.
Different experiences and perspectives naturally lead to different opinions.
The former master was like a mountain in front of the Immortal Emperor, an opponent that required careful preparation and perfect planning to be barely defeated.
However, after experiencing the Age of Destruction, engaging in an extremely intense arms race with the Demon Emperor Wen Yu, and absorbing a tiny portion of the power of the Heavenly Stone, the current Immortal Emperor began to look down on the Overlord...
"Because the Overlord's power system is too simple and crude."
In the rules of the old universe, resurrection does not require a huge cost, and it is even very simple to achieve a perfect resurrection.
The old life-and-death battle was a powerful skill that could double both the racial value and attributes simply by resurrecting from the dead.
This system is the core part of the dominant power.
The second core is the God-given Stone in the Overlord's body - because of the existence of this thing, the Overlord is not afraid of sealing or fatal skills at all.
In the words of the main universe, the judgment of the master is naturally higher than that of everyone else.
The combination of the two is the strongest.
But now, the Overlord does not have the power of the God-given Stone, and his strength has a loophole.
The six-pillar item Wuxin brought with him caused a conflict between the old and new universe rules, leading to confusion in judgment. The Immortal Emperor was able to use this conflict to allow the Heavenly Dao Equation to break through the Overlord's defensive skill judgment, thereby stifling the effectiveness of the Life and Death Battle system!
Therefore, the current master, firstly, no longer had the life-and-death battle system. If he died now, he would be truly dead. Secondly, he also no longer had even a single piece of the Heavenly Stone, and his own skill evaluation was actually surpassed by that of the Immortal Emperor.
The Immortal Emperor even had some lingering thoughts about this...
"Looking at it this way, it does make sense for my future self to resurrect the Overlord... because this idiot is so easy to control."
"I might even add some ingredients during the refining process to adjust this idiot's skill set, at least to make sure his weaknesses aren't so obvious and easy to exploit..."
Just when the Immortal Emperor was daydreaming, the Overlord was still killing people everywhere!
The Immortal Emperor said it simply, but even without the Life and Death Battle System and the God-given Stone, the Overlord's basic attributes still exploded. The pure physical strength beat the Four Kings of the Black Domain to death. Only the high-powered level 12 core skill could barely scratch the Overlord's oily skin.
“That’s it! That’s it!!”
Arrogant and conceited.
This fake master still doesn't realize that he is a fake, nor does he know that he no longer has the power of the God-given Stone.
He still thought that he was invincible and no one could be his opponent, but he didn't know that the Immortal Emperor had used the Heavenly Dao Equation again to hide Wuxin's aura.
At this moment, Wuxin had quietly come behind the master.
Then he reached out and slapped the Lord on the vest.
The light of the skill flashes instantly, dazzling!
Because this wasn't just Wuxin's skills, there were also the Six Pillars Immortal Emperors of the New Universe, the treasures they had refined for Wuxin in advance, the temporary skills that the old Immortal Emperor's clone had given Wuxin, and so on and so forth...
However, these methods are only auxiliary, and the auxiliary direction is to help Wuxin break the master's defense system and harm the master's body.
Can you do it?
Yes, simple...
Not to mention the head of the six pillars of the new universe, the Lord of Heaven, who has already completed the transformation in strength, and his strength is far superior to that of the ruler at the peak of the old era.
Take the current master for example, he is not the real master... He is just a fake. He is powerful enough when fighting against the twelfth level of the Black Domain, but what is he when he reaches the real strength?
The incredibly strong scales were torn apart in an instant, and blood gushed out, spraying Wuxin's head and face.
The Lord suddenly turned his head to look at Wuxin. Just as he was about to make a move, he saw Wuxin smiling strangely, licking the devil blood on the corner of his mouth, and then instantly turned into light and stabbed at the Lord's wound!
Wuxin Skill 9: [Blood and Flesh Parasite (Six-pillar Level): Active skill, limit-breaking skill. After the skill is activated, you will immediately drill into the target's wound and forcibly merge with the target! Depending on the difference in physical attributes between you and the target, this skill will have the following two different effects.
1. If your attributes are stronger than the target's, you will be able to devour their flesh and soul, forcibly occupying their body and gaining the corresponding racial value and limit-breaking attributes. The time required for devouring will vary depending on the difference in attributes between the two parties.
Second: If your attributes are weaker than the target, you can only permanently weaken the enemy's attributes/racial stats! Depending on the difference in attributes between the two, you will be expelled from the target after a varying amount of time. The degree of weakening depends on the duration of your parasitism!
This skill will permanently consume 1% of your basic attributes, and the cooldown period is one day! 】
Skill activated successfully!
The six-pillar-level skills successfully broke through the Overlord's defense system - this was not only due to the difference in skill levels, but also the conflict between the old and new universe rules, the help of the Immortal Emperor and other factors.
But the result is clear at a glance!
Wuxin disappeared into the master's body in an instant!
At the same time, the scene suddenly became quiet.
The three big words "It's Started" echoed in the hearts of Xia Lin, Donald... and even the four pillars in the black domain outside. They could not see the situation in the dark world, but could vaguely get a premonition.
