Chapter 88: Chapter 84: Burn Them All!

Control the myriad phenomena, simulate all artifacts.

This time, an additional cane appeared.

Simulating it consumed over a thousand Spiritual Essence.

Current Illusionary Artifact: Life Link.

Function: [Mutual Destruction: Consumes Divine Energy, transforming into a chain to create a connection between oneself and the target, synchronizing the damage suffered by oneself to the connected target.]

A feature that just looks very abnormal.

As for why it just looks abnormal.

It’s because its actual strength is not high.

Firstly, creating a connection is not easy.

There is a range.

Limited by the user and Life Link itself.

At most, it doesn’t exceed a hundred meters.

Additionally, the connection is unstable, and the consumption of Divine Energy is extravagant.

Casually maintaining the connection for a few dozen seconds consumes months or even more worth of rigorous cultivation, and as the target becomes stronger, the consumption increases.

Users with strength surpassing a certain level can easily break free from this connection.

Masters who reach the Divine Manifestation Realm can extricate themselves with a bit of Primordial Spirit Power and some time.

Reaching the level of the three Squad Commanders of the Rebel Army makes it even easier.

If it’s Gongsun Ying, she can break free in an instant.

Moreover, even if the connection is successfully established, it doesn’t mean you can necessarily perish together with the person in a one-to-one exchange.

Your damn health bar, their health bar?

Exchange blood?

Are you worthy?

Simply put, ordinary people holding the Life Link and initiating the Mutual Destruction connection, then stabbing their heart.

The damage from that stab does indeed share and synchronize with the opponent, directly impacting them.

But are you sure that stab can break the defense?

Lin Qianxuan can straightforwardly tell others that this stab is almost ineffective against him.

The strength of his heart, even a diamond cutter can’t handle it, wanting to exchange blood with him, a hundred people may not be able to achieve it.

Of course, there is more than one weak point, and one can try attacking the head.

The brain is always fragile, right?

But in fact, it’s not as simple as imagined.

A body tempered by Divine Energy doesn’t miss even the brain.

One could even say, the brain is the key.

Even in the extreme scenario that you manage to harm the brain.

In this game world, everyone practices Refining God.

The Primordial Spirit is the only thing; even if the body is damaged, the Primordial Spirit can sustain life for a long time.

This amount of time is enough to recover bodily injuries.

It’s even possible to successfully recreate a body.

Of course, self-damaging the Primordial Spirit is also a way to exchange blood.

But the strength of the Primordial Spirit varies.

To exchange blood with a Primordial Spirit, the strength of a game character’s Primordial Spirit might not even handle the Muddy Spirit Emperor.

The real function of the Life Link is to exploit the opponent’s weakness, comparing resistances where one’s strength is higher than the opponent’s.

Therefore, Lin Qianxuan is a bit confused about why, in the imprint, he could exchange blood with the Mud God.

Confused as he may be, he still acted according to the scene glimpsed in the imprint.

In the Eyes of the Mud, the game character acquired a hundred billion Spiritual Essence within less than an hour.

He first used it to simulate the Emperor Sword, then simulated the Imperial Seal, and after doing that, he used the remaining Spiritual Essence to infuse the Life Link.

Out of the four functions of the myriad phenomena.

[Swallowing Filth] was something Lin Qianxuan kept using.

[Myriad Phenomena] as well.

[Coexistence] is passively effective.

Only this [Rebirth], he feels, isn’t very significant.

In previous gameplay, he used the excess Spiritual Essence for enhancing the Emperor Sword’s functionality.

Billions of Spiritual Essence, the Emperor Sword’s functionality hardly seemed improved.

So Lin Qianxuan always felt this functionality was relatively mediocre compared to the others.

But this time, things were different.

[You used Myriad Phenomena’s “Rebirth” to strengthen and recreate the function of “Mutual Destruction.”]

[“Mutual Destruction” has gained a slight enhancement in strength.]

[“Mutual Destruction” has gained a slight enhancement in strength.]

[“Mutual Destruction” has gained…]

Much like when the game character conjures the Spirit Sword, the prompts continually emerged.

Lin Qianxuan didn’t just use a mere hundred billion Spiritual Essence for reinforcement, as seen in the imprint.

He thought that if he was going to enhance it, he might as well give it all the excess.

So, until the game character was ready to leave, the enhancements consumed a trillion Spiritual Essence.

Simulation consumed less than over a thousand Spiritual Essence, yet enhancing its functionality consumed a whole trillion Spiritual Essence.

With the trillion Spiritual Essence enhancement of “Mutual Destruction,” Lin Qianxuan had the game character feel its transformation immediately.

First was the range, anywhere within ten miles could be targeted.

Then the connection stability, the Divine Energy Chain became more stable.

Finally, the strength, damage transmission efficiency was also increased, with lower consumption of Divine Energy.

Compared to the initial maximum hundred-meter connection, this efficiency was a huge improvement.

But Lin Qianxuan still felt the chance of using it to lock onto the game character and the Mud God, and then perishing together was slim.

It’s obvious!

An attack lethal to a child, how could it possibly harm an adult?

However, Lin Qianxuan still decided to try it out.

Immediately, the game character retraced the earlier path.

They went outside and replicated the Qiankun Cauldron again.

Then filled it with water and entered the Eyes of the Mud.

[Muddy Spirit Emperor (gazing at you): The Mud God will descend upon the world, in this heaven and earth…]

“Swish~!”

The Sword Qi swept down, and the Muddy Spirit Emperor was sent to the afterlife.

“Damn it, I’m in a hurry, where do I have the time to listen to you deliver lines.”

Lin Qianxuan input the command, and the game character’s hand directly absorbed the massive cloudy energy from the Eye of the Filth in the form of the Emperor Sword.

As expected, the surrounding flesh began to react.

The first filthy god avatar appeared, but the game character was already prepared. With a leap into the air, his form shot out, and with a single sword, he easily cleaved the filthy god avatar in half with hundreds of meters of Sword Qi, followed by countless Spirit Swords and streams of water that flushed it away.

The remaining seven filthy god avatars continuously emerged, but the game character flickered back and forth, the traces of destiny flashed through his Eyes of the Muddled Heaven, easily evading and destroying the attacks of the seven filthy god avatars one by one.

After this, he directly retreated to the side, keeping his eyes on the Eye of the Filth.

After about two or three breaths, the smoke column from the Eye of the Filth stalled, and the body of the filthy god emerged from it.

A familiar refined face, familiar gray-white skin, and a towering physique over ten feet tall.

The filthy god looked at the game character, showing a smile.

[Filthy God (smiling as he looks at the Emperor Sword in your hand): Qi Xia’s battle armor? Has it been reforged? It seems he’s truly abandoned this world. But it doesn’t matter, even if he were still here, I could defeat him now.]

Despite his words, Lin Qianxuan knew the filthy god was actually very afraid of Emperor Shenwu.

In previous battles, mentioning Emperor Shenwu always made his face fill with dread, barely showing any hatred.

Clearly, he was beaten so badly he didn’t even think of revenge.

Suddenly, the filthy god moved.

The game character reacted simultaneously.

Lin Qianxuan stared at the screen intently, murmuring, “Even though I don’t know how to succeed, I’ve given it all to you!”

At the moment, Lin Qianxuan chose to trust the other self in battle.

He had already shared all the information with him.

Being in the thick of it, he would surely know what to do.

“Shhh~!”

“Boom~!”

The Sword Qi unleashed by the game character shattered.

The sun beneath his legs exploded, and he immediately chose to pull back.

Countless Spirit Swords flew toward the filthy god, but they were easily broken by the countless cloudy energy blades emitted from the filthy god’s body.

These Spirit Swords, strengthened by the Sound Talisman, then by the Sound of Destiny, and again refined by the Divine Energy of the Emperor Sword, appeared so fragile when facing the filthy god.

This time, perhaps because the previous eliminations of the avatars by the game character were too clean and swift, the filthy god did not play cat and mouse games, nor did he give the game character the opportunity to collide with him with the million swords united in one hand.

Thus, not even a chance to harm the filthy god presented itself to the game character.

With a quick flicker, the filthy god landed in front of the game character and flicked his finger.

A burst of energy shot out, landing on the Emperor Sword slashed by the game character.

The Sword Qi on the Emperor Sword instantly shattered, and the siphoned energy was absorbed by the game character, but he had prepared in advance and did not choose to meet it head-on, directly sidestepping and letting go of the Emperor Sword, allowing it to fly out.

Compared to the game character himself, the material of the Emperor Sword was practically indestructible.

It flew straight out, piercing the ground, burrowing thousands of meters deep.

The filthy god was about to strike again when a point of golden light blossomed on the game character’s chest, prompting the filthy god to immediately speed up to crush the game character.

But the golden light had already been released.

Silently and swiftly, the golden light expanded outward, centered on the game character.

[Filthy God (angry): Mortal, you’ve angered me!]

Under the golden light’s erosion, the filthy god reached out to crush the game character, like squashing an insect!

“Shhh~!”

The Emperor Sword responded to the call, flew up from the ground, and collided with the filthy god’s arm, knocking it aside, allowing the game character to seize the Emperor Sword and use Body Technique to relocate far away.

At this time, the filthy god was being eroded and worn down by the golden light, his movements sluggish and weak, unable to pursue.

Without any hesitation, the game character poured a large amount of Divine Energy into the Emperor Sword.

“Rattle rattle~!”

The sound of chains being dragged echoed out of nowhere.

A crimson chain emerged from the Emperor Sword, one end binding the game character, while the other end firmly locked onto the filthy god’s arm.

[Filthy God (surprised): What is this?]

The filthy god was bound, wanting to break free, but with the [Chaotic Heaven] supported same life effect, the efficacy was great, coupled with the distraction of the golden light, he really couldn’t break free in a short time and was left bound.

In the next moment, the game character raised the Emperor Sword, pointing the tip at his own forehead.

“Puff~!”

The Emperor Sword pierced the forehead, directly into the brain.

But surprisingly, there was no blood or injury.

“I understand now!!”

In front of the screen, Lin Qianxuan suddenly shouted out.

He finally understood.

“So this is it, the ’Shared’ of the Universal Phenomenon allows it to directly become energy, so it doesn’t harm oneself. Therefore, this sword isn’t a suicidal act to perish together, but a pathway opening, a channel connecting the Purple Mansion…”

And after connecting to the Purple Mansion, what next?

“Boom~!”

A vast amount of Divine Energy was released through the opening at the forehead pierced by the game character via the Emperor Sword, forming a crimson pillar of light comparable to the cloudy energy column, even more exaggerated.

This pillar of light shot straight to the sky, its radiance illuminating all around, hard to imagine that so much Divine Energy could be stored within one person.

What exactly constitutes “suffering harm”?

Perceiving pain?

Torn skin and flesh damage?

Loss of innate bodily components?

Clearly, all these count!

At least under the function of “annihilation,” it acknowledges them.

And this moment, as the game character’s Divine Energy was being vastly drained, does it count as suffering harm?

Of course, it does!

So what effect does syncing this harm have on the filthy god?

One could see the vast gathering of dark purple cloudy energy within the filthy god’s body uncontrollably leaking out rapidly, leaving him paralyzed on the spot.

[Filthy God (shocked): No, this is impossible!!]

The golden light had already dissipated, and mid-air, the chain from the Emperor Sword entwined around both game character and filthy god.

The game character’s forehead released a flood of Divine Energy, leaving the filthy god paralyzed and unable to move, his dark purple cloudy energy swiftly flowing out.

[Filthy God (coldly gazing at you, speaking out strenuously): Well calculated, but to think you presume to defeat me by such means, a mortal remains a mortal. Even the once Qi Xia, possessing Divine Energy Cultivation depth spanning tens of thousands of years compared to ordinary people, never dared to contend for true foundation with me. You simply don’t know the vast chasm separating us…..]

“Hehe!”

In front of the screen, Lin Qianxuan laughed aloud.

The game character with the [Endless Divine Sea] could sustain this high-intensity outpour of Divine Energy for ten days and nights without a problem.

It’s just unknown how much cloudy energy remains within the filthy god’s body!
