Chapter 735 - 79: True Martial Evolution

In the cold, piercing gaze of Jasper Pool, the phantom river of time flows quietly, finally freezing into a heart-stopping image.

Shen Fei’s figure is solidified within a space-time amber, surrounded by twisted and intertwined Yuqing Immortal Light and thick, surging Abyssal Demon Qi, forming a huge killing array cage exuding deadly aura.

As the image shattered, Jasper Pool’s face turned slightly pale, transmitting the blurred fragments captured by the [Time Prophecy] to Shen Fei.

Almost at the same time, Feng Yi’s silhouette appeared like a ghost in the quiet chamber, his face so solemn it could drip water.

The turtle shell floating in front of him had completely turned to powder, his voice low: "The deduction results show a great omen of disaster.

Pointing to the ’Space-Time Anchor’ within the formation, space solidifies, time becomes chaotic, it is a killing array. The aura of Yuqing’s treasure ’Space Stabilizing Disc’ entangled with the Abyss’s ’Time Abyss Sand’, this so-called Agricultural Time Fragment is a trap!"

Shen Fei closed his eyes, his fingertips unconsciously tapping the table, making a dull thudding sound.

Jasper Pool’s foresight and Feng Yi’s deduction perfectly confirm that the ancient medicine garden and the so-called "Agricultural Time Fragment" bait, its purpose is crystal clear.

"Agricultural Time Fragment..." Shen Fei opened his eyes, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, "Shennong’s grotto heaven must be completely perfected, this item is indispensable. Yuqing and Abyss, they certainly choose their bait well."

He merely made a move in an auction to buy the Hundred Herbs Fragment and Ten Thousand Medicine Fragments, but was figured out by those from the Yuqing Dao Lineage, indeed worthy of an ancient Dao Lineage.

They should also be aware that the domain of the Earth Emperor Shennong was composed of six grotto heaven fragments.

The top tier grotto heaven fragments themselves are rare treasures, not to mention matching ones.

Even knowing this is bait, he is determined to acquire it.

This concerns not only Shennong’s potential but also the future foundation of the entire team.

Since the opponent has set up the game, then break it!

But it’s still not enough.

Let’s see what the Yuqing Dao Lineage is willing to pay for the interception.

"True Martial must be strengthened with enchantments, then defense will be the key."

Facing the upcoming ’Space-Time Anchor’ killing formation, group defense and survival capabilities are the cornerstone to breaking the game.

And True Martial is the key of keys.

Shen Fei said in a deep voice, his mind immersed in the depths of Talent.

A golden ocean of enchantments surged and boiled again, he precisely locked onto the core directions of "Group Defense", "Damage Immunity", "Instant Death Resistance".

Before long, ten enchantments transformed into flowing light and entered True Martial’s body:

[Sigh Barrier (Tier Four of Myth): Actively activate, centered around the True Body of Black Tortoise, instantly unfolds an absolute defense domain covering ten thousand miles.

Within the domain: ①All friendly units receive the "Sigh Protection" status, forcibly immune to all damage (physical, energy, soul, law) below [Dao Tier Five] for 10000 seconds; ②Immune to all non-[Dao Tier Five] level instant death effect; ③During the existence of the domain, continuously dispels non-[Dao] level negative status and control effects on friendly units within range.]

[Immortal Battle Banner (Tier Three of Myth):

Passive: Within the aura range, when friendly units suffer fatal damage (triggering instant death judgment), there is a 70% chance to trigger "War Soul Immortal", forcibly retaining 1 life point and entering a 300-second invincible state.

Active Activation: True Martial inserts the Black Tortoise Battle Banner into the ground, all friendly units within the banner range including those who have triggered "War Soul Immortal" receive "Heroic Spirit Protection" status, respawning next to the banner upon death, recovering 60% of maximum health and mana value.]

[Ten Thousand Tribulations Profound Gang (Tier Four of Myth): Passive Ability. All attributes defense of True Martial himself and [Resonating Fortress] linked friendly units increased by 100000%. All types of damage received, forcibly reduced by 60% (this reduction is calculated before other damage reduction). Significant weakening effect on [Dao] level attacks as well.]

[Guiding to the Returning Void (Tier Three of Myth): True Martial can actively choose a friendly unit that is near death (health below 1%) or has died, temporarily "guide" the fatal damage/death causality through the power of Black Tortoise to himself (ratio of acceptance depends on the strength gap between both sides), and apply a layer of powerful "Profound Nether Guardian" shield to the target. During the guidance, True Martial’s defense power is additionally boosted.]

[Profound Nether Flow (Tier Two of Myth): Passive: 60% of the damage endured by True Martial is converted into pure "Profound Nether Gang Qi" storage. Active: Can release stored Gang Qi once, forming a "Returning Flow Vortex" surrounding himself, causing continuous massive true damage to nearby enemies (based on total stored damage), and forcibly attracting enemy attacks.]

[Earth Vein Contract (Tier Two of Myth): True Martial deeply resonates with the Earth Law. As long as both feet stand on the ground (or similar stable energy base), his defense power, health recovery speed, energy recovery speed receive a large boost (boost magnitude depends on the earth vein strength of the environment), and he shares part of the damage pressure for linked friendly units.]

[Unrivaled Overlord Body (Tier One of Myth): Passive greatly enhances resistance to control effects. Active Activation: True Martial enters "Absolute Dominance" state, immune to all control, interrupt, displacement effects (non-[Dao] level), lasting 1000 seconds. During this period, his block and parry success rate rises to 100%.]

[Holy Beast’s Blessing (Tier One of Myth): Summoning the will of the ancient holy beast Black Tortoise for empowerment. Greatly enhancing the maximum health limit, defense power, and abnormal status resistance of True Martial and friendly forces within his range, and receive continuous health recovery effect.]

[Thorn Counterattack (Tier Nine of Legend): Passive Aura. When True Martial and friendly units within a certain range are attacked, they reflect 30% of the damage dealt by the attacker back in the form of true damage.]

[Heaven and Earth Resonance (Tier One of Myth): When linked friendly units successfully block, dodge, or reduce large amounts of damage, True Martial himself receives a short boost in defense power and health recovery. Meanwhile, a small proportion of the damage endured by True Martial is evenly distributed to all linked friendly units not in a near-death state.]

With the phantom of Black Tortoise suddenly appeared behind True Martial in the Rotting Abyss.

Looking up to the sky, a silent roar emanated, as his colossal body seemed to merge with the entire earth, his aura rising step by step, solid as mountain ranges, deep as the seas!

[Summoned Beast: True Martial Reincarnation (Dao Tier One) Bloodline Evolution——True Martial Saint Venerable (Dao Tier Three)]

[Your Summoned Beast’s bloodline evolves from Dao Tier One to Dao Tier Three, granting you half the ability enhancement!]

An unending surge of power continued to roar through Shen Fei’s body.

At the same time.

Shen Fei’s vision constantly flashed with prompts.

The entries of True Martial continued to merge.
