Chapter 1083: Chapter 45: An Unqualified Whetstone
Time rewinds to a few minutes ago.
In front of the secret treasury of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, Tenth floor of the Heavenly Palace.
Looking at the increasingly intense struggle in the distance, Bai’s face remained expressionless, merely calculating the time silently.
At a certain moment, when a giant mushroom cloud rose into the sky, Bai pronounced a death sentence for Da Luo in his heart.
At this moment, Da Luo was overflowing with immense energy fluctuations, causing the entire tenth floor of the Heavenly Palace to tremble, the thick layer of soil on the ground had long been shattered, revealing the elusive, cloud-like light gray mist beneath the tenth floor of the Heavenly Palace.
It seemed grandiose, but the true condition was all too clear to Bai, who was once a Level 11 powerful expert.
As a rising star, a peak figure in the Universe of Immortals and Heroes, Bai understood deeply that anyone who could be called a powerful expert was not because of some tricks that could freeze heaven, earth, and air, but because of comprehensive strength.
For instance, control over energy and body!
Da Luo’s seemingly overwhelming and destructive attacks had little actual effect—due to the dispersed energy, the flowing energy hitting Wen Yu was immediately offset by the dragon scales that emerged on Wen Yu, while the rest of the energy waves exploded around Wen Yu, merely harmless to the poor soil.
In contrast, Wen Yu was initially at a disadvantage when the battle with Da Luo began—even with countless augmented skills, Wen Yu wasn’t a match for the weakened Da Luo in terms of physical attributes. However, having consciousness versus not having it made a world of difference.
In a short time, Wen Yu had already mapped out Da Luo’s weaknesses and strengths, further strengthening his own energy control by a significant margin. At present, Wen Yu seemed like a ghost, continuously drifting around Da Luo, evading Da Luo’s attacks with repeated Void Traversing, and with every sword or punch landed on Da Luo, Wen Yu could create a bloody hole in Da Luo’s body without harming the surrounding environment.
One side’s attacks were scattered, unable to harm the opponent even slightly, only wildly bombarding the air like a beast, while the other side remained composed, with a tactical focus and precision as clinical as a scalpel, continuously cutting through the enemy’s vital points.
The outcome was decided from the very beginning!
...
Da Luo’s skull had been sliced off, with even half of the brain matter gone—a wound left by a frontal attack from Mad Medley.
His whole body was drenched in blood, the strong surface defense completely vanished, and the thick mercury-like blood irrigated the surrounding soil, faintly revealing the scenery behind Da Luo through a few transparent fist holes.
Even so, Da Luo still retained considerable combat power!
At this moment, Da Luo swung a punch, and Wen Yu had to step back half a step, relying on the super defense capabilities brought by the Demon Dragon Armor, forcibly enduring the hit. The cost was next to nothing...
Eighty percent of the force was punched into the air.
On the surface, it appeared to be a battle evenly matched, but the true situation was merely Wen Yu testing his own limits.
Unfortunately, to Wen Yu’s disappointment, without consciousness, Da Luo truly couldn’t measure the breadth of Wen Yu’s current capacity!
This was an unqualified whetstone...
"Void Traversing has certain weaknesses; when physical attributes are raised to a certain level, it’s enough to break through the Void with physical strength. Besides exceptional concealment capabilities, using it as defense isn’t suited for combat at this level."
Void Traversing was the skill Wen Yu focused on experimenting with in this battle; the hidden stealth effect was estimated right at the first moment of deployment—truly Strong Power! However, the defense capabilities did not satisfy Wen Yu.
Da Luo’s physical strength was substantial enough to pierce the space barrier, in other words, when Da Luo attacks, relying on Void Traversing to dodge still gets struck by a heavy blow piercing the Void.
"The Dual-Colored Flame Heavy Sword isn’t effective, the attack capability weak, far inferior to Palpitation and Mad Medley; alas, it’s merely a skill mimicry, not Soul-Armored, and such means should not be played next time."
"The skill combination of Ultra Mortal Combat and the Blood and Flesh Badge is yet to be fully tested, this has to be reserved for later."
"Passive Skills increasing physical attributes work based on the original physical attributes as the base, after augmentation, then added together. In other words, simply stacking passive skills that increase physical attributes cannot create alternative Breakthrough Achievers with exceptionally high physical attributes."
Deification ×5, increased to 10 times, is not the fifth power of 2, plus Wild Nature Augmentation’s attribute enhancements by 80%, the total increase is 10.8 times. But skills and species innate talents are multiplied—this is the source of the overpowering strength of divine beasts.
"Energy control is stronger, well, the most important gain might be here this time."
Wen Yu threw a punch, the air pressure on the fist was almost nonexistent, as if a simple casual swing, but the speed of light and result of a punch piercing Da Luo’s heart were sufficient proof of the destructive power of this punch!
On Earth, Wen Yu had long lost any opponent, and now facing Da Luo, it was Wen Yu’s first time in years to go all out, truly gaining quite a bit, but...
"Let’s end it here."
As soon as he spoke, Wen Yu’s strategy altered!
...
It was still the incoming heavy punch! But this time, as Da Luo’s fist neared Wen Yu’s face, it was blocked by an invisible transparent barrier.
Soul Battlefield—defense mode!
Da Luo could not consume the Soul Battlefield, yet the boundary opened by the Soul Battlefield could still fend off Da Luo’s attack!
With a buzzing sound, Da Luo’s offensive was intercepted, and Wen Yu’s skill of deploying and retracting the Soul Battlefield had been honed to virtually no time lapse. After quickly retracting the Soul Battlefield, Wen Yu immediately raised the heavy sword and slashed down on Da Luo’s head!
The flame-entwined heavy sword instantly penetrated Da Luo’s surface defense, mercilessly hacked into Da Luo’s exposed brain matter, and then the blaze surged, instantly drilling into Da Luo’s body.
Da Luo’s momentum halted, even without consciousness, Da Luo’s face still displayed a look of pain, and the next second, a rain of bullets flooded into Da Luo’s body through the wound.
A low rumbling erupted within Da Luo’s body, causing Da Luo to tremble incessantly like a chaff sieve until the rumbling quieted, a blaze of black and red dual-colored flames suddenly shone within Da Luo’s body, the flames quickly ascended, and briefly turned Da Luo into a blazing torch, yet at this moment, Da Luo still had not died.
"More than enough defense, insufficient attack, without consciousness, the body has become decrepit, alas, a pity, truly wanting to witness your full glory in your prime."
Watching Da Luo gradually reach the end of his life, Wen Yu merely stepped back two steps, waiting for the blaze to burn the person in front of him to ashes.
Until three minutes later, Da Luo’s movements became slower and slower, finally falling to the ground, turning into a pile of embers, only then did Wen Yu gently wave his hand, activating the power of the Netherworld, instantly pulling Bai over from afar.
"It’s time for harvesting."
