Chapter 455: You fell before I even tried
The bottomless abyss is silent and cold.
Scattered fragments of the subconscious, like stars dotting the universe, provide light, but overall it is still dim.
"Miscellaneous... This trip is for the spiritual world book..."
Ji Xian immediately realized that he had let the cat out of the bag… His pale cheeks hidden under the mist twitched slightly, but he quickly felt relieved.
It doesn't matter.
The overwhelming force of the battle lies in my hands.
So what if it leaked out?
The prince always said that those who achieve great things do not pay attention to trivial matters, and occasionally saying the wrong thing will not affect the overall situation.
However, the next second, Ji Xian's self-introduction was swallowed up in his stomach.
He saw infinite light appear in an instant with Xia Lin as the center, like a brilliant galaxy from the sky, rendering the surrounding area gorgeous and splendid.
As a level twelfth, Ji Xian could naturally see through these lights, all of which were lights of different skills.
"This kid has so many skills!"
I was slightly startled, and then the situation became tense again.
He also saw that the light of these skills contained the power of transcendence bestowed by God.
This means that Xia Lin has quietly achieved level twelfth.
However, after a closer look, Ji Xian put his heart back into his stomach.
Because Xia Lin has many skills, but they are also weak.
At level 12, the power of a skill depends on both the skill itself and the user's basic attributes.
From the overflowing energy fluctuations, it was not difficult for Ji Xian to discover such a fact - Xia Lin's attributes were very poor... perhaps even worse than an ordinary level 12 who had just completed a promotion with the extreme attributes of a professional.
Ji Xian instantly completed his interpretation of Xia Lin's combat power, and then confidently regained the high ground.
He spoke slowly, letting out the unfinished words.
"Give me the Spirit World Book, and I'll spare your life and his!"
In response, he was met with a flash of light and a roaring sound.
The countless skill lights shot out by Xia Lin traveled through space and instantly appeared on all sides of Ji Xian.
The light of the skill is like the Dongfeng missile of the past, which directly locks onto the target and then explodes.
For a moment, the entire area was submerged in a sea of light. Loud noises continued, and regular vibrations caused ripples that quickly spread out with Ji Xian as the center.
At the edge of the storm, Xia Lin tilted his head and looked towards the center of the storm.
He saw Ji Xian floating up and down in the sea of light, his disguise being torn apart slowly but surely, and his foundation-level protective magic weapon and clothes being burned to ashes.
Afterwards, the power of various lethal skills began to corrode Ji Xian's skin, but that was all.
When the energy dissipated, Ji Xian was almost unharmed. He slowly put on a new set of clothes, a teasing smile showing on his pale cheeks.
"Not bad, but that's all."
He considered himself qualified to make such an evaluation of Xia Lin.
After all, as a top-level existence at level twelve, he is also a secret guard under the military lord (a subordinate profession of the military lord), and is blessed by the power of the military lord.
This makes Ji Xian's actual combat power far surpass that of the top twelve-level warriors like Hunger and Scarlett.
——The people behind Ji Xian dared to send him alone to do the job, naturally because they thought that with Ji Xian's strength, he could not only eat Xia Lin and Barclay, but also eat Scarlett, the strongest servant beside Xia Lin.
However, just after Ji Xian smiled teasingly, Xia Lin also smiled.
"Not bad, you are not bad either, you have good attributes."
"Then your attributes are mine."
With a "snap" sound, Xia Lin snapped his fingers and spit out four words.
“Absolutely balanced.”
Xia Lin used his former trump card move now without hesitation as if he was using an ordinary skill.
This is indeed the case.
Xia Lin's absolute balance itself has a CD time of 1000 years, but after obtaining the Shadow Pillar Twins, this 1000-year CD is nothing more than an attribute issue.
Use Absolute Balance to exchange attributes, and then use attributes to reset the CD of Absolute Balance...
Xia Lin has never tried this tactic before, so it’s hard to say whether he can make money at the moment.
But since he also has a life-and-death battle system, it is definitely worth it to exchange it for Ji Xian's attributes to lay a better attribute foundation for himself.
——Xia Lin had previously thought of becoming the Sword God of Shilipo. This was a safe and appropriate strategy.
Now that I'm in trouble, it seems that it's possible to use Absolute Balance to greatly shorten the time it takes for attributes to grow.
At the moment when he snapped his fingers, a shadow of a scale appeared across the void and appeared between Xia Lin and Ji Xian.
The scales are as vast as a nebula, enough to trigger gigantic fear in people.
Time froze under the power of absolute balance, and everything about Xia Lin and Ji Xian was placed on both ends of the scale as bargaining chips.
However, after careful consideration, Xia Lin cursed out loud.
"Damn garbage, you have even fewer chips than me!"
Under the logic of absolute balance, everything between the two was put on the trading table.
At present, Xia Lin's attributes are not as good as Ji Xian's, but he is far ahead of Ji Xian in other aspects - especially the weight of the Shadow Pillar Twins, which is too heavy. One talent is enough to buy half of Ji Xian's life.
But after all, the transaction is still feasible.
This also made Xia Lin realize that the skill of Absolute Balance alone was probably no longer suitable for his own system. After reaching level 12, his combat effectiveness was indeed not that exaggerated, but because of the existence of the Shadow Pillar's twin talents, Xia Lin's own potential was too great, which was quite disadvantageous in the logic of fair trade.
Just talking about this wave of transactions, Xia Lin was essentially in an advantageous position, balancing with Ji Xian. Instead, Ji Xian made a profit while Xia Lin lost...
In the future, Xia Lin's attributes will become higher and higher, and his strength will become stronger and stronger, and this situation will become more serious.
Xia Lin was not disappointed.
Because after reaching the twelfth level, Absolute Balance has completed its historical mission, and Xia Lin himself does not need to rely on the other six core skills as his trump card.
He has a new trump card that is completely his own.
In the still time, Xia Lin began to exchange chips.
The soul and memory remain unchanged, and the talent and career remain unchanged.
What Xia Lin moved were only skills and attributes.
Xia Lin threw a large number of skills that didn't make much sense in his skill list onto the table. Ji Xian's attributes, with Xia Lin as the main factor, were transferred to Xia Lin himself.
At this moment, Xia Lin also saw through Ji Xian's true colors.
【Ji Xian】
Level 12
[Occupation: Secret Guard]
[Racial value: 8563y]
[Attribute: 8yy]
The racial values and attributes are all basic attributes that do not take into account temporary skill gains and military leader gains.
If you calculate, Ji Xian's attributes will increase by thousands of times!
The power of the military leader is indeed terrifying, and these temporary things are not counted into his own bargaining chips.
After a busy period, Xia Lin sighed softly.
"That's all we can do."
Almost all of Xia Lin's skills were transferred to Ji Xian.
As compensation, Xia Lin's attributes changed instantly!
[Name: Xia Lin]
[Racial value: 2893y]
[Basic Attributes: 2yy]
Most of Ji Xian's attributes were still retained, and he also gained nearly one million six-pillar level skills.
He really didn't lose out this time.
With the balance achieved, the transaction was complete. The shadow of the scales collapsed, and time began to flow anew.
Ji Xian was confused and didn't know what was going on for a moment.
And those skills that were replaced... he didn't keep any of them.
Because he doesn't have an infinite skill bar.
Xia Lin looked at his attribute panel and saw that all the skills that were used as bargaining chips were restored to their original positions under the power of witnessing eternity.
"It's not bad."
I can’t say I’m very satisfied, but I have gained a lot.
He snapped his fingers again, and a sea of skill light that was far larger, more vast, and more astonishing than before was instantly born and floated beside Xia Lin.
When the same skill is activated with different attributes, the effects will inevitably be different.
Xia Lin, who has stronger attributes, should be able to release skills with stronger effects!
However, considering that there is still a gap in attributes between him and Ji Xian, a quantitative attack alone probably won't cause much damage to Ji Xian.
Amidst the light of his skills, Xia Lin spoke slowly.
"Round two."
"And this time, I'll show you something new."
Ji Xian had already realized that things were not going well, and he no longer had the aura of a calm and composed expert.
A black light flashed from his body surface, and the twelfth-level core skill called Tiandi Jian Zhongxin instantly increased the amplification provided to him by the Lord General tenfold!
[Loyalty of Heaven and Earth (Racial Heritage Level) (Level 12 Core Skill): Passive skill, exclusive skill of the Lord of Hosts subordinate profession.
My loyalty is witnessed by heaven and earth!
As a vassal of the Lord of Hosts, the more loyal you are to your master, the higher the rewards you will receive!
This skill increases the power of all your skills and grants temporary buffs from the Lord of Hosts, depending on your loyalty. The maximum buff is determined by the Lord's strength, currently 12 times!
A slave is a slave, a slave in every aspect!
Not only are they slaves in terms of status, but under the professional system, the subordinate professions of the military lord are also slaves of the Lord of All Armies.
This skill is considered a standard core skill for the military lord's subordinate profession.
The effect looks simple, but the actual improvement is not simple at all. It is enough to make Ji Xian's combat power undergo another transformation, which is no less than a powerful transformation skill!
The next second, Ji Xian turned into a black light and rushed towards Xia Lin.
His weapon is a short sword.
The skill released at this moment is also a single-shot powerful killing skill with strong explosive power and a certain death rule.
——The profession of secret guard is the black glove of the military leader. Proficient in assassination and espionage, Ji Xian’s explosive power and lethality should not be underestimated!
But, these are meaningless to Xia Lin.
Without waiting for the dagger to stab him, Xia Lin uttered a word, as if it were a decree from heaven!
"Change!"
The change of destiny!
…
Among Xia Lin’s four major systems, the normal combat system is the witness and permanent proof system.
Xia Lin has just tested the effectiveness of this system - most of it depends on the level of attributes.
If the attributes are high, it will naturally be powerful and comprehensive. If the attributes are not good, it will just be scratching the surface.
Among them, super skills such as the equalizer can indeed bring about a qualitative change in the witnessing system - if the equalizer doesn't work, Xia Lin still has the Heavenly Dao Equation, right?
But this is too troublesome. Just witnessing the Yongzheng system and Ji Xianzhan is also too much for Keqing.
It’s better to come up with something new.
For example, the third system, the destiny mutation system!
The Witness Eternal System is a normal combat system, while the Destiny Mutation System is a system that strives for the upper limit.
And the mutation of destiny contains such a characteristic: all your energy and skills naturally have the power of mutation!
Moreover, this characteristic is controllable - if Xia Lin wants to start mutating, he can start mutating, and if he doesn't want to mutate, he won't mutate!
The first round of attacks did not include the element of destiny mutation.
And in this second round of attack, Xia Lin did not hold back!
The first thing to change was the sea of skill light surrounding Xia Lin!
The vast and mighty energy suddenly twisted under the influence of the mutation of destiny. Before Ji Xian could start, it had turned into the shape of a gorgeous tiger, standing between Ji Xian and Xia Lin.
"Follow your call!"
The tiger spoke human language, like an energy life form.
A tremendous force surged from his body, which was only slightly weaker than Ji Xian's at full power.
The result of the mutation was beyond Xia Lin's expectations...but it was definitely beneficial to Xia Lin.
The energy tide composed of countless skills has mutated into an energy life form with considerable strength. This is obviously a benign mutation.
Xia Lin shrugged slightly and looked at Ji Xian again.
Ji Xian had already crossed the space, but was intercepted by a tiger halfway and had to get entangled with it.
"Change again!"
The second person to mutate was Ji Xian himself!
In the first round of attack, Xia Lin only penetrated Ji Xian's protective gear and injured Ji Xian's skin.
But it is undeniable that Xia Lin's energy still remains in Ji Xian's body, and he himself has been marked by Xia Lin.
——So according to the logic of destiny mutation, Ji Xian has become a target that can be mutated. The reason why Xia Lin didn't change him before was just that he wanted to see the effect of witnessing the eternal certificate. But now there is no need to hold back.
As soon as these two words were spoken, the situation on the battle changed dramatically!
Ji Xian first felt that his strength began to decline, as if the power of the military leader projected from afar encountered an obstacle.
Introspecting himself, Ji Xian shuddered suddenly.
His skill: Heaven and Earth Mirror Loyalty, is gone... but it was replaced by a skill that can't be considered a negative skill.
[Fox Borrowing the Tiger's Power (Variant): Passive skill, exclusive to the Lord of Hosts' servant class. As a Servant of the Lord of Hosts, the closer you are to your Lord, the greater the boost in his power you receive, up to a hundredfold! However, the further away you are from your Lord, the weaker the boost, with a minimum of 0.8x.]
Right now, his lord is far away, perhaps even back in the kingdom of the King of Kings. The blessing provided by this skill must take the minimum value: 0.8 times!
Ten times, becomes 0.8 times...
But it’s not over yet.
During the time Ji Xian was stunned, more mutations occurred.
——The mutation of destiny will not end after just one mutation.
Once marked by Xia Lin, the target will continue to mutate... continue to mutate... until Xia Lin says stop, or until he dies.
There may be time intervals during this period, and the strong can suppress the speed of mutation or even resist the effects of mutation, but in the logic of level 12, the occurrence of mutation is only a matter of time.
The dagger in Ji Xian's hand suddenly softened.
The six-pillar dagger bestowed by the lord turned into a springy noodle.
His other skills mutated one after another, becoming skills that were not negative, but certainly not as good as before.
Finally, his body also began to mutate...
The rootless man took root again, but Ji Xian felt uncomfortable and a little uncoordinated in his movements.
The legs turned into elephant legs and the eyes turned into spider eyes.
Physical attributes and racial values are also constantly changing, and overall they are getting lower and lower.
In fact, the battle was over long before Ji Xian's body began to mutate.
Because the tiger that was fighting with Ji Xian was not stopping its mutation... but was getting faster and faster!
——From a tiger, he transformed into a star beast, from a star beast, he transformed into a warrior of light, and finally from a warrior of light, he transformed into the Lord of Light...
The power climbed up exponentially, and the tremendous momentum continued to change qualitatively, until it reached a level that left Ji Xian stunned and unable to even muster the will to fight.
He stared blankly at the Lord of Light in front of him, who was holding a spear and a shield.
"I am the Supreme Being of the Universe! The Supreme God!"
This thing is quite arrogant, but its strength is indeed awesome.
It may even have reached the level of the twelfth level like Zhang Hai and Zhou Xinglin.
Xia Lin still wanted him to continue mutating - if he could transform into a six-pillar-level giant, wouldn't that be the finale?
Unfortunately, the mutation of destiny seems to have its limits...
Not only was the Lord of Light unable to mutate further, but every second of his existence consumed Xia Lin's mental energy - this was a sign that the mutation of destiny had reached its limit.
The Lord of Light should only exist for a few seconds before collapsing and disappearing.
However, under the influence of the Shadow Pillar Twins, he broke through the original rules and continued to survive by compensating with his mental power.
Moreover, the Shadow Pillar Twins can do more than just that!
Xia Lin vaguely realized that if he wanted, he could allow the Lord of Light to continue to undergo benign mutations.
But after the thought flashed through his mind, Xia Lin chose not to continue mutating - because the mental energy required to continue mutating upwards was something Xia Lin could not afford at the moment.
And, that's enough.
The Lord of Light swung his spear, and a few simple lines slashed across Ji Xian's body, breaking all of Ji Xian's limbs and sealing him with divine power.
He obeyed Xia Lin's will, stepped back a few steps, and released another ray of divine power of light, saving the life of Barclay in the distance.
Xia Lin took a step forward and walked to Ji Xian's side.
"You fell down before I even exerted any strength."
"You really should apologize to me for not letting Master Xia Lin enjoy himself."
"Speak up! Are you still pretending?!"
Looking into Ji Xian's eyes, Xia Lin exhales fragrance.
Whatever you, Ji Xian, have done to pretend to be cool, I, Xia Lin, will do it for you no matter what!
After all, I am better than you!
I can't even use my two ultimate moves, the Destiny Probability Dice and the Divine Mutation Technique, to deal with you.
Ji Xian has been stunned...
Ji Xian had never seen Xia Lin's system in his life.
He pursed his lips and was about to speak, but Xia Lin pointed his finger and sewed his mouth shut with the [Reality Correction] skill.
No matter whether Ji Xian was yelling or begging for mercy, Xia Lin didn't want to listen.
He just wanted to know who was behind Ji Xian.
Reaching out, he covered Ji Xian’s head.
[Memory Extraction] skill begins to work!
After absolute balance, Xia Lin's attributes skyrocketed, while Ji Xian became weaker and weaker in a series of inferior mutations and was even sealed by the Lord of Light.
Now it becomes easy to deal with Ji Xian with the relevant skills under the witness permanent certificate system.
The witnessing of eternity complements the destiny variation system.
The Shadow Pillar Twins once again raise the upper limits of the two major systems.
As for the life-and-death battle system...
Well, Ji Xian is obviously not worthy of using Xia Lin’s resurrection method.
In short, the top twelve-level warriors under the command of Ji Xian, the military leader, are still a little weak for Xia Lin now, even if they are used as whetstones.
…
As the memory extraction took effect, Xia Lin also knew the person behind Ji Xian.
The eighth son of the Wang family, Wang Yanhong.
He is the younger brother who has the best relationship with Wang Laoqi, and the outside world thinks he is the reckless one.
I have to say that Wang Laoba was indeed a bit reckless in handling Ji Xian's matter.
"But it must have happened for a reason..."
Xia Lin muttered so.
Because the absence of the Six Pillars was a secret, no one else had any way of knowing it except the Six Pillars and those involved in the game - including the eight sons of the Wang family except Wang Yanlin.
Then, Faceless transformed into the appearance of the King of Kings, in order to fool and intimidate the Primordial Overlord, so as to stabilize the Primordial Overlord, the strongest person in the main universe, and even create an opportunity to trap and kill him.
Therefore, Wumian and others could not take the initiative to explain to the outside world everything that happened inside, including the destruction of the spiritual world book.
Barclay's current situation is an extension of this incident - Wang Yanhong had evil intentions and thought that the Book of the Spiritual World was in Xia Lin's hands. He wanted to get this treasure and try again to seize the six pillars of the original dark side.
It doesn’t matter if you can’t show up yourself, the characteristic of a military leader is that he has a lot of people.
A twelfth-level military lord with poor skills, such as Yang Zhe, does not have twelfth-level subordinates, but a military lord of Wang Yanhong's level certainly has no shortage of twelfth-level subordinates.
So he sent Ji Xian.
"This Wang Laoqi and Wang Laoba... really are..."
Xia Lin rolled his eyes and was speechless about the two brothers.
The King of Kings took great care of him, and Xia Lin’s current achievements are largely due to the great contribution of the old king.
But his parenting philosophy was relatively advanced. It was not the traditional one where father's orders must be obeyed. He gave his eight sons too much freedom, which also allowed them to develop different personalities and ideas.
Xia Lin had been torn between two sides of his brain regarding the attitude of the Wang brothers before, and he didn't know how to deal with the grievances between him and them in the future.
But now Xia Lin is no longer worried.
"Come, nephew Yanhong, I will give you a chance!"
A light rose in his hand.
That is the entanglement of cause and effect, and the magic of divine transformation!
