Chapter 544 - 538: Battle for the Divine Fragment
Chapter 544: Chapter 538: Battle for the Divine Fragment
The lord with nine divine fragments has stronger skills than Lin You.
Moreover, with higher basic attributes, his burst speed is slightly faster than Lin You’s, and in the blink of an eye, he’s already on the platform, heading straight for the divine fragment.
Lin You’s face tightened. Opening both the Turtle Shield Mirror Wall and War Barrier, he blocked the attacks coming from all directions amid a thunderous crash.
Using the explosion’s momentum, he also charged out of the crowd, darting toward the platform.
"This divine fragment is mine!"
The man at the forefront shouted deeply, the wind beneath his feet accelerating him suddenly.
An Elemental Lord with agility attributes enhanced to the extreme, no doubt.
"Stop him quickly!"
Seeing this, the other lords turned their focus, abandoning their attacks on Lin You, and roared as they chased after him.
In no time.
Various burst methods appeared, shadows flitted across the platform, closely chasing behind the man.
King’s Majesty!
Without hesitation, Lin You unleashed Lingxi’s tier ten skill.
Instantly, a powerful aura exploded from him as the center, sweeping across the entire one-kilometer range.
The kings in the midst of a fierce chase were instantly halted by the dual pressure of King’s Majesty and the Celestial Ladder Trial.
"What’s happening? How did this pressure suddenly become so strong!?"
"No, it’s the skill effect!"
The kings’ expressions changed as they finally sensed the enveloping power of rules.
And just as they were stunned, Lin You exploded forth beneath them, accelerating past them toward the divine fragment at the center of the platform.
"Hmph!"
At that moment, an elder snorted coldly, forming a terrifying protective power of rules around him, directly resisting the suppression of King’s Majesty.
With a wave of his hand, thousands of sword lights appeared, transforming into a golden torrent that swept toward Lin You.
Was it broken after all?
Lin You narrowed his eyes, having anticipated this situation.
With so many kings present, many had attributes higher than his, so his skills naturally couldn’t fully exert their effects.
Without hesitation, the power of rules erupted, and a massive phantom of a Cannibal Flower appeared behind him, swallowing all the sword lights in one gulp before exploding in the sky.
Although he successfully blocked the other’s attack, he lost the best opportunity to shake off his pursuers.
Just then, the effect of Barbaric Roar on him vanished, slowing him down.
The lords also took the chance to break free from the Absolute Domain and accelerated their pursuit.
Helplessly, Lin You had to activate the Countdown to the End, resetting all states to one minute before.
All this happened in the blink of an eye.
In no time, all the kings were within two hundred meters of the divine fragment, each exuding an overwhelming aura.
"Get out of my way!"
A burly man roared in anger, and a piercing coldness erupted from him, sweeping the surroundings.
The kings’ faces changed, and without thinking, they dodged to the sides.
The next second.
Sharp ice cones burst from where they originally stood, spreading ice crystals across the field, then exploding into countless ice spikes shooting rapidly in all directions.
However, such an attack only played an obstructive role and could not inflict substantial damage on the lords present. With just a wave of a hand, they blocked the spike attack.
"Petty tricks."
As the burly man dashed out of the crowd toward the divine fragment, another person sneered, and a massive Evil Eye appeared above him, emitting a tangible gray light.
Medusa Beldam’s tier ten skill, Snake God’s Gaze!
The burly man, with his attention on the divine fragment, was caught off guard and was struck by the gaze, causing rocks to form on his body and temporarily seal him in place.
Meanwhile.
Other kings also intervened.
In a series of angry shouts, various large-scale control skills emerged, plunging the field into chaos.
Anyone daring to approach the divine fragment would be collectively attacked and forced to retreat to survive.
The awe-inspiring scene left the lower-tier lords standing by in stunned silence.
"So terrifying, is this a tier ten battle?"
"I feel like any attack could blast me to pieces."
"I wonder who will ultimately claim the divine fragment."
"Probably those old kings from the Great Realm."
The lords whispered amongst themselves in amazement, wholly absorbed by the battle at tier ten, speculating on the divine fragment’s eventual ownership.
But they didn’t notice.
In a corner of the platform, a figure wrapped in vines was closely watching the battlefield, waiting for the perfect moment.
"Now’s the time!"
Seeing everyone unleashing big skills with massive consumption.
Lin You’s eyes sparkled, and he activated Barbaric Roar, transforming into a phantom shadow as he charged from the vine protection toward the divine fragment at the center of the field.
The other kings noticed and immediately attempted to stop him.
Absolute Domain!
With a thought, Lin You unleashed an invisible wave emanating from his center.
The kings, who were about to attack, paused, feeling all their buffs dissipate instantly, reverting them to their most primal states.
"Not good, it’s a state-clearing skill!"
The kings’ expressions drastically changed, their newly consolidated speed interrupted.
"A little trick, break it for me!"
Several elder kings roared and prepared to break through the skill’s suppression with brute force.
In the next second.
The Power of Rule on Lin You’s body erupted once more.
Taking advantage of their weakened state without enhancement, he directly unleashed Cyan Gang’s Gravity Field Skill.
In an instant, the surrounding space sank, pressing down fiercely on all the Kings within the range.
Without enhancement, they were already greatly taxed in resisting the trial’s pressure, and this layered suppression instantly immobilized them.
By the time a few powerful Kings burst forth with strength to break free from the skill’s lock, Lin You had already darted to the center, grabbing the Divine Fragment shining with seven-colored light.
[Would you like to fuse the "Divine Fragment"? Once fused, it cannot be undone. Please decide cautiously.]
"Fuse!"
Without a moment’s hesitation, Lin You chose to fuse.
The Divine Fragment in his hand then radiated a dazzling light, gradually merging into his body.
At the same time, with a burst beneath his feet, he swiftly darted out of the encirclement.
"Courting death!"
Seeing Lin You fuse the Divine Fragment in the blink of an eye, the Kings were utterly enraged.
They all charged after him, unleashing a series of terrifying attacks.
However.
After fusing the seventh Divine Fragment, Lin You, with full power unleashed, was no longer the same in strength.
Phantom Walker skill activated, and his whole being became more illusionary.
While dodging from side to side, he easily evaded more than half of the attacks, with phantoms identical to him appearing around him to help block the remaining damage.
The small portion of damage that finally landed on him was resisted by activating a damage reduction skill, leveraging his strong Physical Attribute.
Then, with a flash, he completely disappeared into a mass of illusions.
It was the Shadowless invisibility skill, Void.
"Damn it, he got away!"
The Kings had grim expressions, looking in the direction Lin You disappeared, but did not continue the pursuit.
Because the Divine Fragment had been fully absorbed, and with the strength Lin You had displayed earlier, even if they pursued, they might not be able to kill him.
Even though they felt very unwilling and angry, there was no need to risk life and death over a moment’s rage, which might ultimately affect the trial.
So, they only gave a deep look in the direction Lin You disappeared before sitting down to recover.
Meanwhile, the low-tier Lords who had been observing from the side were in an uproar, completely unprepared for such a result.
On the other side.
Lin You, who was stealthily escaping, quickly retreated back onto the platform over 400 levels below and gradually became visible again.
Looking back, seeing that no one was chasing, he finally sighed in relief.
After all, if all those powerful Kings had decided to hunt him down, he might have had to flee the Celestial Ladder and wait for the heat to subside before continuing the climb.
Fortunately, the worst outcome did not occur.
As he breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn’t help but feel excitement rising within.
He hadn’t expected to obtain the seventh Divine Fragment in this trial, making the trip worthwhile.
Seeing the wounds all over his body, he didn’t linger any longer and retreated directly to the 400-level platform to heal and recover, then opened his personal interface.
[Name: Lin You (Lord)]
[Race: Human]
[Level: Tier Ten (7/10)]
[Power: 57004 (+39903)]
[Constitution: 71012 (+61070)]
[Agility: 57004 (+39903)]
[Spirit: 71012 (+49708)]
[Basic Skills: Double Mutation, Power of Rule, Space Travel, Rule Transformation]
[Divine Power: All Attributes +70%]
[Racial Talent: Constitution +16%, Recovery Speed +16%]
[Introduction: Lord Attribute Interface, recording precise Lord strength and various skills, unlockable by Tier Ten Lords.]
...
130,000 Constitution, 120,000 Spirit.
This is his attribute after obtaining the seventh Divine Fragment.
Even without using Burst Skills, he is already comparable to a D-level Lord Demon, with no problem in solo combat.
In contrast.
Because he has always focused on enhancing Constitution and Spirit, his Power and Agility are somewhat weaker.
If not, he wouldn’t have been so easily caught up by those Kings earlier, reluctantly spending so much stamina and Power of Rule.
He rested in the platform’s corner for half an hour until he finally recovered to peak condition, then prepared to continue climbing.
Just then, a commotion suddenly arose from the distant crowd.
On the Tier Ten platform, someone had successfully ascended to the 700th level, entering the region of raging thunderstorms.
Lin You couldn’t help but lift his head, looking at the faint figure.
But in the next moment, his expression changed drastically.
"It’s him!?"
Lin You was utterly astonished.
Because the figure standing on the 700th level was none other than the dark-eyed youth with that terrifying heart!
He hadn’t expected, after such a long time, to encounter the opponent like this, so blatantly appearing before the Great Emperors of the realms.
Isn’t he afraid of being discovered?
What surprised him even more was that on the Celestial Ladder, where the stronger the killing intent, the greater the pressure, that guy could actually reach such high levels, even far ahead of the other Lords.
And, like him, he had also ascended to Tier Ten!
