Chapter 1243: Harvesting a Top-Tier Mechanism and Numerical Technique, Clearing the Map in Three Seconds

He had been going hard in battle the whole time just now!!

Lu Ding had completely forgotten to check the reward that Linjiang Xian dropped.

Though he didn't know what it was yet, it definitely wouldn't be bad.

【Contain Monster: Pearl Magpie Fish】

【Containment Reward: Yellow Path Myriad Flowers】

【Yellow Path Myriad Flowers: A Divine Ability method, can designate enemies to share sustained injuries, limited by distance, unlimited by number of people, limited by strength, unlimited by spells and Divine Abilities】

This time he really rolled a red drop!

Simply put, this thing was a weapon for carving through enemy formations alone!

One man as an army, charging into the formation, killing wildly, and when injured, activate Yellow Path Myriad Flowers to drag the enemies into the rules as well. For example, if Lu Ding took a slash to the chest, then everyone encompassed by his Yellow Path Myriad Flowers rules would all inexplicably take a slash to the chest as well.

The exact same attack that Lu Ding received on his chest.

Such an attack might only wound Lu Ding, but for the others affected by 【Yellow Path Myriad Flowers】, it could mean death.

For example.

In the future Hundred Dynasties War, the enemy commander finally unleashes their killing move, lands a hit on Lu Ding, breaks through his defenses, leaves an injury. As a result, the activation mechanism of 【Yellow Path Myriad Flowers】 triggers, directly spreading the shared damage, causing all enemies within 【Yellow Path Myriad Flowers】 range to have to take that hit as well.

At that time, Lu Ding might only be wounded.

But the other side's people would have to endure their own commander's killing move.

Whether they lived or died then.

That would depend on how tough their luck was.

Although this 【Yellow Path Myriad Flowers】 was absurd, it had a flaw, which was the distance limit. It couldn't encompass targets too far away. Even someone as strong as Lu Ding could only open a ten-kilometer radius, on the basis of excluding the person who inflicted the injury on him.

Beyond ten kilometers, it wouldn't work.

Of course, for the person who dealt him damage, the distance was unlimited.

Whoever struck him had to bear it back, and this conceptual distance could be infinitely far. Everything else was defined distance.

Lu Ding sensed 【Yellow Path Myriad Flowers】, and finally had his answer in his heart.

This over-standard thing, it seemed it couldn't block 【Way of the Jinche】, but it seemed it could replicate a counter-slash of 【Way of the Jinche】.

Of course, whether the replicated 【Way of the Jinche】 that bounced back for shared damage would have its power discounted, whether the definition of cutting all things would change.

That, Lu Ding didn't know.

But fortunately, fortunately he hadn't recklessly faced Linjiang Xian the first time. Though fighting her was easy, if he had been bounced by her, 【Way of the Jinche】

Then Lu Ding would have been in trouble.

Cutting himself.

He didn't want to tank 【Way of the Jinche】.

If this thing came down in one strike, and the power wasn't discounted, whatever 【Four Fundamental Evil Aspects·Invulnerable Vajra Body】 would turn into Vajra Immediately Broken.

It was also at this moment that Lu Ding realized.

【Way of the Jinche】 was badass, no question, but nothing in this world is absolute. Someone might not be able to block 【Way of the Jinche】, but if they grasped the importance of information, if that Linjiang Xian was someone from an organization, sent to self-detonate against Lu Ding, luring him into using 【Way of the Jinche】

That would be truly troublesome.

At this moment.

Lu Ding couldn't help but say in his heart: "So this is what the ancients meant when they said, throw a punch with seven parts force, reserve three parts strength."

It seemed that from now on, he needed to be cautious with 【Way of the Jinche】, to avoid encountering similar methods like 【Yellow Path Myriad Flowers】.

Other methods, though, could be freely smashed. After all, even if they bounced back, at worst it would wound Lu Ding.

It wouldn't be like 【Way of the Jinche】, carrying the modifier of cutting all things, which worked on anyone, and even Lu Ding, its sole user, couldn't handle it.

Though 【Yellow Path Myriad Flowers】 had quite a story behind it.

But Lu Ding was considering whether to refine it.

Mainly because his current defense was truly absurd. Not many could wound him. But he was also afraid of the what-if. After all, just now, the Third Sovereign's palm strike on him was already something that could trigger the 【Yellow Path Myriad Flowers】 mechanism.

Lu Ding thought for a moment.

Forget it.

Better not refine it.

This kind of mechanism Divine Ability, keep it as a safety net.

In case he encounters similar situations in the future.

The further he went, the higher the realms, the enemies he encountered would definitely be stronger. Lu Ding wasn't afraid of their numbers, because Lu Ding himself was a numerical monster, he was just worried about those messy mechanisms.

The more safety nets on his body, the more at ease he felt.

Caution, absolute caution, never underestimate the people of the world!

He cast his gaze to the 'Pearl Magpie Fish' on the Golden Finger.

Lu Ding didn't quite understand. This kind of thing, how did it cultivate and evolve to possess such an absurd mechanism?

So inconspicuous.

In the ancient text 【Classic of Mountains and Seas·Eastern Mountains Classic】 it was recorded.

【Another three hundred eighty li south, called the head of Ge Mountain, no grass or trees, the Li River originates there, flows east into Yu Marsh, among which are many Pearl Magpie Fish, shaped like lungs with four eyes and six feet, possessing pearls, its taste sour and sweet, eating it prevents disease】

Food ingredient!

Sour and sweet.

And it turned into a spirit, and it was pretty badass!

If not for Lu Ding's caution in sending the undying Lei Xiao to gather information, this thing might have really gotten Lu Ding with a sneak attack.

When the time came to give her a 【Way of the Jinche】

She would definitely die, but before dying, she'd bounce once, clang, and with a ding, Lu Ding wouldn't fare well either.

Absurd, truly fucking absurd.

After reading 【Yellow Path Myriad Flowers】,

Lu Ding then checked the other spells and Divine Abilities.

Seeing if there were any worth refining.

In the end, he actually picked out one, a spell with a very high refining ceiling.

【Contain Monster: Wu Dang Great Demon】

【Containment Reward: Flameless Sky Burn】

【Flameless Sky Burn: Heaven and earth black and white, flameless sky burn, ultimate sublimation, great annihilation of the world】

Though the description was impressive, this spell's ceiling, for Lu Ding, didn't offer much enhancement.

But it didn't matter, it could be refined.

Lu Ding decided, if he could refine out a ceiling upgrade, then he'd use it. If not, well, he was wealthy and well-equipped, so just treat it as an experiment.

He tossed 【Flameless Sky Burn】 into the refine.

【Pay two Colorless Large Crystals to perform Divine Ability refinement?】

Lu Ding chose yes.

Watching the words 【Flameless Sky Burn】 on the Golden Finger gradually disappear, new text appeared.

【Body Transforms Into Furnace·White Sun Across the Sky】

【Body Transforms Into Furnace·White Sun Across the Sky: Transform the body into a furnace, light up the heaven and earth white sun, scatter all life essence, transform all of heaven and earth】

Badass!

Powerful.

But this was a suicide spell, fuck that.

Lu Ding still didn't want to die.

He shared longevity with heaven and earth, no need to self-destruct with anyone.

Continue refining.

【Pay four Colorless Large Crystals to perform Divine Ability refinement?】

No good!

【Pay eight Colorless Large Crystals to perform Divine Ability refinement?】

No good.

Sixteen, trash!!

Thirty-two, garbage!!

Sixty-four, a bit dark!

One hundred twenty-eight, two hundred fifty-six!!!!!

Lu Ding got heated, a bit desperate.

"Damn it, if you don't come out, I'm done refining!!!"

Five hundred twelve crystals slammed down.

Fuck!!!

Lu Ding gave up.

Just as he closed the Golden Finger refine interface.

The next moment, he immediately opened it again.

Sneak attack!

Catch it off guard.

One thousand twenty-four crystals!

【Fallen Sun Setting Sun Transformation】

"Ehehehe, you really are a cheap one, didn't react in time, huh."

【Fallen Sun Setting Sun Transformation: Fallen sun setting sun, stars falling, star sea boiling, galaxy burning】

Lu Ding sensed it in his heart. Outrageous, how the hell could this refine into something so exaggerated!?

Though there was no mechanism, it was all numbers. Off the charts, turned him into a stellar object.

Mechanism: 0

Numbers: ?

This was making it so that in the Hundred Dynasties War, he wouldn't just wipe out the enemy's nation and species, he'd directly obliterate their country, strike until the void collapsed, strike until it didn't exist anymore, directly clearing the map in three seconds. Anything over three seconds counts as a failed run.
