Chapter 454 Integration Completed, Enemies Arrive
Possibility is always the most precious!
Right now, there are six missing pillars in the main universe, and the current number of vacancies is 1, so opportunities do exist.
However, if you really want Xia Lin to snatch the position of pillar from Wumian, Lu Zhao, the eight sons of the Wang family, and even the original dark will and the subordinates of the old master, this is indeed quite difficult.
And now, I, Xia Lin, will not compete with you anymore.
I have opened up a new track that belongs to me alone!
This is what Xia Lin knows, the greatest significance of the Shadow Pillar Twins - this talent provides a new possibility, a pillar position that belongs exclusively to Xia Lin!
Of course, this doesn’t mean that Xia Lin can’t grab the existing missing column positions.
After all, the more possibilities the better.
There is even such a possibility: I, Xia Lin, will first grab an existing pillar position, and then achieve the position of shadow pillar with the double shadow pillar.
Combining two pillars into one... Is this feasible?
Just thinking about it made Xia Lin feel numb all over and his excitement was beyond words.
This is called potential and ceiling!
——And the combination of two pillars is not without precedent. The Original Lord was a pioneer on this path, but there is no chance now.
"Forget it, stop daydreaming. Things like the Pillar Position and Shadow Pillar merging into one are all too far-fetched."
Possibility is just possibility, and possibility may not necessarily turn into results.
If you want to realize your dreams, self-struggle is indispensable.
After Xia Lin calmed down his joy and excitement, he once again read the description of Shadow Pillar's twin talents and suddenly discovered that he seemed to have underestimated the common uses of this talent.
"Breaking the rules... that's a really great idea!"
The word "rules" really covers too broad a scope.
From the limit of six pillars to the gravitational constant, all are manifestations of rules.
"And if the Shadow Pillar Twins can break all the rules, then I should be able to do something like this..."
Just as the idea popped up in his mind, Xia Lin had already taken action.
He spread out his hands, and his mental power turned into substance, floating out of Xia Lin's hands like a ribbon and floating beside him.
At this moment in the promotion space, the power of the six pillars has been exhausted, the skylight has also converged, and the entire promotion space appears dim.
And when Xia Lin turned his mental power into substance, the promotion space was dotted with light sources again.
Looking at the brightened promotion space, Xia Lin spoke slowly, "Use my mental power to replace the power of the six pillars and help me upgrade all my skills to the six-pillar level!"
One of the underlying rules of the main universe: The creation of any six-pillar-level skills and six-pillar-level props requires the consumption of six-pillar power!
Even the room for promotion cannot break this iron rule.
However, at this moment, Xia Lin used the twin talents of the Shadow Pillar as a spear to tear through this rule, intending to forcibly replace the power of the six pillars with his own mental power.
The sky suddenly brightened up, and Xia Lin's mental strength collapsed instantly.
The tide of mental power continued to take effect, and in a short period of time, Xia Lin's mental power limit had been reduced by a full 553wy points!
After reaching level 12, Xia Lin's total mental strength was only 1000wy.
The upper limit of mental strength has been lost by more than half!
This consumption is simply appalling.
The result is: I don’t even want to act anymore!
In Xia Lin's skill list, hundreds of thousands of skills began to flash wildly and upgraded one after another.
From the F-level fighting foundation to the racial heritage level of fair trade, it was forcibly raised to the six-pillar level in a very short period of time!
When the skylight slowly shrinks, an infinite skill bar appears, and all the skills in the skill bar are six-pillar-level monsters, thus born!
Tried it, the results are outstanding!
Xia Lin was still not satisfied.
Using a six-pillar level fair trade, he forcibly transforms his own strength, agility and body attributes into mental power, thereby raising the upper limit of his mental power.
Then Xia Lin broke through the second rule.
"All the negative skills I have should not be effective on me!"
He gained the Twin Shadow Pillars, but lost the Twin Evil Shadows.
Xia Lin had accumulated a lot of negative skills before, and now they are all in the regular skill column.
According to the cosmic rule that "some negative skills cannot be actively turned on or off", when Xia Lin leaves the promotion space, these negative skills will inevitably cause certain interference to Xia Lin.
Then just change the rule!
The upper limit of mental power dropped by 100,000 points again, breaking the rules.
The sky was dark and the sky was dark. Xia Lin felt relaxed all over.
"Comfortable."
But I also realized this problem.
The consumption of mental energy by the Shadow Pillar Twins is somewhat outrageous.
Breaking the constraints of rules does not seem to be an easy task for the Shadow Pillar's twin talents, and one has to consider that Xia Lin is currently in the promotion space, which is the place closest to the will of the universe and is most easily exposed to the underlying rules of the universe.
If they try to break the rules again after leaving the promotion space, the consumption of the Shadow Pillar Twins may increase tenfold or even a hundredfold.
"Also, the two rules I just broke through only apply to me, not to the rules that modify the entire universe.
If you want to modify certain rules that affect the entire universe, for example: from now on, when professionals advance to level 12, they will no longer need a universe bug, or all negative skills will not be effective against the owner, the cost will probably be even higher."
This is inevitable.
"If that's the case, achieving the Shadow Pillar position would probably consume a huge amount of mental energy, and it would definitely be much more than raising all skills to the Six Pillar level."
This is also certain.
But it's not a big problem.
The attribute issue is not a big problem for Xia Lin, who possesses the life and death battle system.
Moreover, the twin Shadow Pillars also changed the operating logic of the other three systems. This talent was a bit like the Equation of Heaven, and it had a universal, comprehensive, plug-and-play feel.
"In this case, there will be no regrets."
Four major systems.
One: Witness the Eternal Proof, Two: Life and Death Battle, Three: Destiny Changes, Four: Twin Shadow Pillars.
Whether considering its immediate combat capability or potential, this system is unprecedented and unparalleled.
Even without actual combat, Xia Lin could already have a vague idea of his own combat capability: top level twelve, even much stronger than Scarlett and Hunger!
And the potential is needless to say - the road to the fusion of the two pillars is the highest mountain, a height that the six pillars of the past could not reach.
At worst, there is always the shadow column as a backup.
Throughout history, no one has ever possessed greater potential than Xia Lin.
"And then, there is one last thing to do."
While muttering, Xia Lin used the connection between master and servant to summon Scarlett from the world outside the boundary.
Mental power gushed out again, embellishing the space for promotion.
Xia Lin grabbed Scarlett's hand and spoke slowly.
"Break through the rules again, use my spiritual power to replace the power of the six pillars, and help my servant complete the system integration of the Heavenly Dao Equation skills!"
This sentence actually breaks two rules: one is that system integration requires the consumption of six pillars of power, and the other is that level 12 professionals cannot be favored by the will of the universe again, nor can they integrate the system a second time!
Scarlett's promotion was lacking, which was a fact and also a thorn in Xia Lin's heart.
Originally, Xia Lin's idea was to try to use the connection between the master and servant contracts to help Scarlett improve herself when she was promoted.
Now the power of the six pillars has been exhausted, and the previous ideas have become shattered, but Xia Lin has found a new way to solve the problem.
——Directly use the Shadow Pillar Twins to break through the relevant rules!
The light from the sky surged in again, falling on Xia Lin and Scarlett.
All of Xia Lin's skills were taken away by Tianguang, but they reappeared on the skill panel the next second after being taken away - this was the effect of witnessing eternity.
As a large number of skills are transformed into auxiliary materials, the Tiandao Equation finally appears and firmly occupies the C position.
At this moment, Scarlett suddenly spoke up: "The direction of the integration needs to be most beneficial to Xia Lin and provide him with the greatest help!"
Xia Lin opened his mouth, but couldn't utter any words. He was silent for a moment and nodded slightly, and the strength of his grip on Scarlett's hand increased a lot.
Amidst the burst of light from the sky, Scarlett scored twice and began the system integration again.
However, Xia Lin only felt that his mental power was rapidly declining, and the tide of mental power was activated again and again.
It was not until the sky darkened that Xia Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Just barely managed..."
Looking at his own attribute panel, Xia Lin was a little amused and helpless for a moment.
[Name: Xia Lin]
[Occupation: Shadow Pillar]
[Racial value: 100y]
[Basic Attributes: 28960]
There are no units, just five digits.
This is the price you pay for breaking the rules.
However, when Xia Lin looked at Scarlett's attribute panel, the frustration of the declining attributes was instantly swept away.
These mere attributes are completely insignificant in front of Scarlett's new system!
…
The skill "Heaven's Equation" itself has not changed.
The core skills of the six pillars are all perfect after long-term debugging by the six pillars. The will of the universe can split them, but it is difficult to optimize and upgrade them again.
Scarlett's changes mainly focus on a new skill.
[Dark Side of Heaven (Six Pillars) (Level 12 Core Skill) (Unique) (Scarlett Exclusive): Active skill, requires the Heavenly Formula skill as a prerequisite, and requires a master-slave relationship with Xia Lin. This skill is exclusive to Level 12 and can be unleashed after incorporating the power of Heavenly Transcendence, negating all enemy judgments!
Light and shadow work together, light and dark coexist!
This skill is based on the Heavenly Dao Equation and is combined with Xia Lin's related systems.
When you obtain this skill, an anti-Hedao domain will naturally be born in your Hedao domain, which can also be called the dark side Hedao domain!
The Dark Side Hedao Realm can only accommodate your master: Xia Lin's companion shadow.
The Companion Shadow cannot appear in reality, but possesses all of Xia Lin's abilities, sharing their skill CDs. Furthermore, the Companion Shadow can cultivate and break through limitations in the Dark Side Hedao realm, with their growth fully synchronized with Xia Lin's in reality.
As long as the accompanying shadow is immortal, Xia Lin's true self will never die.
At the same time, the underlying rules of the Dark Side Hedao domain are not strict, with fewer constraints, but they are closely related to reality. When Xia Lin's companion shadow releases some of its abilities in the Dark Side Hedao domain, such as the Destiny Probability Dice and the Twin Shadow Pillars, the effects will be synchronized with reality, while the cost will be greatly reduced and the effect will be greatly improved!
This skill was quite complicated. Xia Lin looked at it several times before he figured it out.
“It’s a complete mishmash.”
Not only is there the shadow of the Heavenly Dao Equation, but also the shadow of the Old Ones. At the same time, it is deeply integrated with Xia Lin's system and is bound very tightly.
After thinking for a while, Xia Lin looked at Scarlett.
"Let's just use it and see the effect."
The Dark Side of Heaven has no CD and can be turned on and off at any time. Naturally, there is no need to worry about wasting CD and you can start experimenting directly.
As Xia Lin finished speaking, Scarlett spread out her hands. As the light of the Heavenly Dao Equation flashed, the He Dao field unfolded, but it was dotted with turbid black light, tearing and destroying the rules of space, and creating a new dimension with Scarlett as the center.
Without Xia Lin doing anything, he felt his perspective split instantly.
The right eye still showed the scene in the real promotion space, but the left eye showed a gray, blurry and hazy world.
——It is very similar to the effect after activating the Advent of the Old Ones... It is not surprising. After all, Xia Lin’s system itself is based on the Advent of the Old Ones and made some reference to it.
In the left eye, Xia Lin's companion shadow obeyed Xia Lin's will and began to act.
He rushed forward and quickly explored the surrounding area. He found that this was essentially a replica of the real world. Not far away there was a giant eye of the dark side and a crystal entity that sealed the six pillars. It just looked gray.
Just when the Companion Shadow wanted to go to the second bottomless abyss of the dark world through the Eye of the Giant, the corner of the Companion Shadow's eye blossomed and it returned to its original place out of thin air.
Xia Lin nodded in understanding.
"The Dark Side's He Dao Domain has a range limit, equivalent to Scarlett's He Dao Domain. This also means that in the future, Scarlett will need to be by my side at all times to maintain the existence of the Companion Shadow... Perhaps other effects of the Dark Side of Heavenly Dao will also require this as a prerequisite."
Xia Lin muttered this, but Scarlett covered her mouth and chuckled.
In this way, the bond between her and Xia Lin is basically unbreakable...
Xia Lin didn't care about this and just continued to experiment with the dark side of the Heavenly Dao.
A raging fire suddenly burst forth from within its body, and its accompanying shadow quickly turned to ash—it had committed suicide...
Xia Lin's real self didn't show any strange reactions. The death of the accompanying shadow wouldn't affect Xia Lin in real life.
Soon, the vision of the left eye blurred, and the accompanying shadow was reborn.
——Xia Lin’s body is immortal, and his accompanying shadow can regenerate infinitely!
The Companion Shadow raised his hand again, his mental energy rapidly dissipating, activating the Twin Shadow Pillars. Scarlett also sensed the situation within the Dark Side Hedao Realm and proactively provided immortal power to loosen the rules within the Dark Side Hedao Realm.
The next second, the picture in the left eye quickly changed. In one second of reality, three days of darkness had passed!
The life-and-death battle takes effect, and attributes and racial values increase by 30%.
The limit-breaking effect was synchronized to Xia Lin's body.
During this process, Xia Lin's mouth corners began to rise involuntarily.
After actually completing this combo, Xia Lin finally couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Awesome! This ability is awesome!"
What you lack, you get...
This ability not only further strengthened Xia Lin's immortality, but also made up for the defect of slightly low efficiency in breaking the limit of the life and death battle system!
And that’s still not all.
Just now when Xia Lin loosened the rules of the Dark Side Hedao Domain, he found that the cost of loosening the rules there was much lower than in reality, and Scarlett could compensate for most of the cost.
Considering that the Companion Shadow uses skills in the Dark Side Hedao field, the effects can be synchronized to reality and can be further strengthened.
This will undoubtedly further increase the upper limit and endurance of Xia Lin's skill power.
"The double-sided tactics are still chasing me!"
Xia Lin said with emotion.
Because this dark side skill of Heaven's Path is indeed very similar to the Old Ones' Advent... It can probably also be used in a double-sided pincer attack mode to perform a two-sided combat method.
But unlike before, this time, the ownership of this dark side Hedao domain belongs entirely to Xia Lin and Scarlett.
…
The promotion is now completely over.
Xia Lin no longer has any systems that need to be integrated.
Leaving the promotion space with a brand new ability system, Xia Lin felt a little sad for a moment as he felt his own fragile and weak physical fitness.
When other people are promoted to level 12, their attributes will increase tenfold at least. But I am in trouble. This wave of attacks almost drained me dry.
Of course, it’s not a big problem.
Scarlett has been taken into the world outside the boundary by Xia Lin, but the dark side of the field is still maintained - she has truly become a part of Xia Lin's pendant and ability system.
The accompanying shadow kept committing suicide in the dark side of the Dao field, constantly speeding up the flow of time, and the life and death battle continued to take effect, rapidly improving Xia Lin's attributes.
Even if we take into account the time it takes Scarlett to recover her immortal power and mental strength, it may take less than a day for Xia Lin's racial value and attributes to reach the previous standards, and all subsequent improvements will follow.
"Then I'll stay in seclusion here for three to five years!"
Since you have the conditions to become the Sword God of Shilipo, why not?
Wouldn't it be wonderful to go out and sweep away the enemies with the attributes of crushing everything?
However, ideas are very rich, while reality is very skinny.
Just a few hours later, Xia Lin, who was immersed in the pleasure of the sudden increase in attributes, suddenly looked gloomy.
Through the connection of the master-servant contract, he heard a faint cry for help.
"Boss, save me..."
The cry for help came from Barclay.
…
Of the five kings of the Black Domain, only Barclay is left.
This person is Xia Lin's subordinate. Although he is not absolutely loyal to Xia Lin, he has helped Xia Lin a lot.
——Whether it was the intelligence when he first came to the Black Domain or the muddying of the waters before, Barclay made an indelible contribution.
Xia Lin may have some shortcomings, but he is always caring for his subordinates.
——As long as they do things for him and help him, when has Xia Lin ever treated others unfairly?
Without even thinking, Xia Lin stood up and walked towards the Giant's Eye in the distance.
Following the subtle induction between the master and the servant, Xia Lin vaguely located Barclay's current position.
He was still in the second level of the Dark Realm, in the Abyss.
Scarlett's voice suddenly rang in my mind.
"It's a trap. It's obvious someone is setting you up with Barclay's life in jeopardy."
The shout that Barclay made before basically revealed the relationship between him and Xia Lin.
Now that someone is willing to risk Barclay's life to lure Xia Lin into the game, it's only natural.
——As for whether Xia Lin cares about Barclay’s life and whether he will join the game, this is not very important.
Anyone who dares to take action must be very powerful, and taking down Barclay would be easy. Since it's effortless, why not try it?
Xia Lin did not stop, but walked even faster.
There was no heaviness on his face, but rather an eagerness to try.
"None of this matters anymore..."
He said this to Scarlett.
Xia Lin's temper has been restrained a lot.
There is no other reason. After all, he is not a complete madman, and his desire for self-destruction will not overwhelm his rationality.
But in essence, Xia Lin was never afraid of challenges. He was even good at and liked to take the initiative to do things. The reason why he suppressed this part of his character was because the stronger he became, the more he felt that those in higher positions were unfathomable and invincible.
But now, things are different.
"I was timid before because I really couldn't win. Now that I've reached level 12 and I'm still timid, then wouldn't my level 12 be in vain?"
At this point, Xia Lin had already left the Giant's Eye and arrived at the second level of the bottomless abyss in the dark world.
Without the obstruction of the Giant's Eye, the perception of Barclay became much clearer.
But Xia Lin's figure turned into a rainbow and shot away into the distance in an instant. Along the way, the rules collapsed and twisted, and the space trembled.
He is so loud and unconcealed!
"Since everyone is at level 12, then the question arises..."
"Now, should I be afraid of you, or should you be afraid of me!?"
In the blink of an eye, they crossed an infinite distance, and the scene that came into view made Xia Lin raise the corner of his mouth, but his expression became more ferocious.
In front, Barclay showed his turtle-like form, lying in the air, breathing out more than breathing in.
Beside him, a mysterious man with a blurry figure and hidden face sensed Xia Lin's arrival and slowly raised his head.
He shouted to Xia Lin in a hoarse voice.
"Miscellaneous... This trip is for the spiritual world book..."
However, before he could finish his words, endless light was already coming towards him like stars!
