My skills have mutated again!

Chapter 315 Fusion, Black Source Overlord Form!
The process of planning takes time to unfold.

Just like planting a seed, it takes time to wait for it to blossom and bear fruit.

Today, the seeds that Xia Lin planted two years ago have finally borne fruit.

The timing was chosen by Xia Lin.

—The Holy Teacher preaches throughout the world, and the timing is naturally determined by the Holy Teacher himself.

The location was also chosen by Xia Lin.

— Baishan City was built with the county magistrate's name on it, and the county magistrate resided in the city.

Most of the characters were also chosen by Xia Lin.

The arrival of Xingjie and Zhengli is inevitable, and the arrival of the eleventh level immortals only requires a simple "invitation".

And so, at this time, in this place, these people...

A gathering of heroes.

"It's time to bring this ash district to a satisfactory conclusion."

As he thought this, a sword light hurtled down from above.

Xuan Ye's sword light was like the bright moon, breathtakingly beautiful.

At Bai Wudao's prompting, Xuan Ye restrained his power, changing the killing sword halfway through into a binding sword, which caused the sword light to slow down much more than expected.

It was slow enough to give Xia Lin ample time to activate his skill: Ergonomics!

【Human-Machine Efficiency (Mutation): Active Skill. Consumes varying amounts of mental energy to fuse with any inanimate object, equipment, or other object, gaining related characteristics and even altering one's own form!】

And the target of this human-machine interaction was the county magistrate!
……

But that's not right.

The problem doesn't lie in the judgment.

As a mutated skill, ergonomics is definitely not at the level of racial foundation.

However, as a support skill, and since the target of its release is oneself, the level will not affect the effect of the ergonomics - even if the ergonomics is combined with the base-level equipment and items, it is still feasible.

The problem is that the human-machine ergonomics theory cannot be integrated with the county head.

Although it is an artificial life form, it is undeniable that the county magistrate has already possessed a soul and self-awareness.

The fact that the county magistrate was able to transform into the Black Source Overlord shows that the county magistrate is a being recognized by the professional system.

Human-machine ergonomics can only integrate inanimate objects, but not living things!
But actually, this isn't a problem right now.

The reason lies in the fact that Xia Lin activated the "Deceitful Fate" skill at that time, transforming the county magistrate into the past Black Source. This World's End skill!
[Dark Source. The End of This Realm (Racial Foundation Level): Active Skill, exclusive to the Dark Source Overlord, requires possession of Dark Source to activate. The Dark Source Overlord absorbs Dark Source, fully unleashing its power! In this state, the Dark Source Overlord cannot move or attack, but its aura fluctuations completely disappear, rendering it inanimate. Simultaneously, it will permanently distort and alter the cosmic rules of the current dimension, centered on itself!]

The most crucial point is this sentence: Its nature is equivalent to that of an inanimate object!
This skill gave the county magistrate the properties of an inanimate object, and thus perfectly aligned with the logic of human-machine interaction!

I'm not kidding you; I'm not going to try to change fate or defy destiny.

The key point brought about by that act of deceiving fate was not the skill "Dark Source: End of This World".

Rather, this skill perfectly complements Xia Lin's existing skill system!
This is the real reason why Xia Lin dared to say "the game is over"!

Just before the sword light reached Xia Lin's body, the light of the ergonomic system had already fallen on the county magistrate.

The light quickly spread from the county magistrate to Xia Lin's body, and the two were connected by the light and merged into one.

The light intensified and, in the blink of an eye, turned into pure black.

For a moment, it seemed as if a rising black sun was born from Baishan City.

A dense black light permeated everything, filled with a power that even a level eleven person would find terrifying.

As soon as Xuan Ye's sword light touched the black sun, it instantly froze. The invisible sword light, as if it had substance, was stained with the color of rust, and finally dissipated into countless light spots.

The wind died down, and the clouds stopped.

Time and space seemed to freeze under this black sun.

In that instant, the black sun's light suddenly receded, revealing Xia Lin's true appearance below.

That drastically changed true appearance!

……

Everyone stared at Xia Lin in astonishment.

Then they saw Xia Lin's body strangely stretched to a height of three meters.

The white sword robe is a magical artifact that grows larger as Xia Lin grows, making his physique appear even more agile and strong.

It's not hard to see a kind of beauty called strength in this body—a beauty that is 80% similar to NO.259.

"No, it's not that he resembles No. 259, but rather that No. 259 resembles him..."

Xiao Feng blurted out those words involuntarily.

As No. 259's old rival... Xiao Feng certainly has the right to speak.

At this moment, as he looked at Xia Lin, he realized that the power possessed by this body was even far beyond that of NO.259 at its peak!

However, unlike those who break limits, they are simple-minded and physically strong.

Xia Lin's eyes were not blank; on the contrary, they were bright and piercing.

His eyes were pure black, with faint black ripples, like a bottomless black lake, terrifying and captivating!

Then, a black, corona-shaped arc of light appeared behind Xia Lin's head.

If it weren't for Xia Lin's long, flowing hair, and the strange color of the arc light, Xia Lin would have resembled a Buddhist cultivator somewhat.

"Pretend to be a ghost!"

Suddenly, a roar rang out from the side, shattering the silence that had enveloped the scene.

But Xing Jie, that brute, roared and stared at Xia Lin, who had completed his transformation, as he shouted angrily!

A warrior would rather break than bend.

Of course, this is the case for a normal martial artist.

In the novel "The Legend of the Outer Gods and Immortals" by Heizi, the unyielding spirit of martial artists is distorted into impulsiveness and irritability.

Perhaps it was for Black Star's mission, or perhaps it was because Xia Lin's aura had shocked Xing Jie and ignited his anger.

The next second, a spear formed from blood energy appeared out of thin air in Xing Jie's hand.

"Just a junior... Watch me shatter your disguise!"

The tip of the gun suddenly exploded with a loud bang.

The blood-red spear tip instantly turned pitch black.

Within this black blood aura emanated a power that seemed capable of devouring the entire world, causing Xing Jie's next attack to surpass his limits and reach the theoretically required level eleven!

This is one of Xingjie's trump cards—because he was appreciated by Black Star and worked for Black Star, Xingjie naturally received a lot of benefits from Black Star.

One of them is to summon Black Star to possess you.

The second point is that they borrowed some of Black Star's power.

"Dragon Strike!"

The dragon's roar suddenly exploded.

The gun in Xing Jie's hand instantly transformed into a dragon.

The evil dragon soared into the sky and then plummeted down in an instant, like a meteor striking the ground, piercing straight into Xia Lin's crown!

However, before the terrifying energy could be released, a slender hand had already gripped the tip of the gun.

The black energy originating from the Black Star struggled briefly, but was easily crushed into flower-like streams of light by the giant hand...

If the power of Black Star is like this, one can only imagine the power of the Calamity itself.

A ripple of black light emanated from Xia Lin's body. With just a simple vibration, the entire spear vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed.

"Meaningless."

After completing her transformation, Xia Lin slowly spoke.

Within the halo behind him, two objects, one black and one white, flickered slightly, revealing their true forms.

Both are spherical.

The black one constantly radiates the power to distort the world, which is the source of the rust disease and the Tai Sui, a divine object called the Black Source.

The one in white radiated a holy light, which all the cultivators present could easily sense as a power closely connected to the Heavenly Dao.

This is the original heart of Heaven!
……

The notification sounds were incessant and deafening.

Listening to the continuous notifications from the Ash Zone system, Xia Lin's lips curled up even higher, and he finally burst into uncontrollable laughter!

[You have activated the skill: Human-Computer Interaction!]

You have become one with the primordial spirit!

[You have acquired the characteristic of the Primordial Heavenly Heart: Manifestation of the Heavenly Way!]

[Manifestation of the Heavenly Dao: Passive Effect. Those who possess the Primal Heavenly Heart will be in harmony with the Heavenly Dao! Cultivation speed will be greatly increased, making it easier to break through realms! Furthermore, within this Ash Zone, the holder will ignore all additional skill permission checks!]

With the Primal Heavenly Heart in hand, skill weighting becomes ineffective.

This reduced the ensuing battle to a pure and thorough contest of strength.

The problem is that level eleven not only has an extra skill boost, but its own level is also bound to be high.

It's like comparing a criminal to Xia Lin...

This super-strong martial artist, who can be described as a semi-eleventh-level warrior, is even stronger than Xiao Feng and NO.259 in terms of sheer strength. He is far superior to Xia Lin, not to mention the other true eleventh-level or even twelfth-level warriors.

But right now, that's not the case.

The balance of power has shifted, just like when Xia Lin simply crushed the Dragon Strike.

[You have activated the skill: Human-Computer Interaction!]

[You have become one with County Magistrate Chu Yuxun!]

You have acquired all of the county magistrate's talents and skills!

[You have acquired the Dark Source Overlord class talent: Overlord! Dark Source Domination!]

[You have acquired the County Magistrate's professional skills: Noisy Chaos, Dark Source. Infinite Reinforcement, Dark Source. Endless Energy, Dark Source. Annihilation of Celestial Stars, Dark Source. End of This World!]

[A large number of Black Source Infected individuals have been detected in this dimension! Black Source Domination talent activated! Your attributes have received a temporary buff.]

[The gain is 7683 trillion!]

The primordial world is vast and boundless.

The number of people in this world is countless!

When all these people were infected with the Rust Disease and practiced the Black Iron Mystic Art, they were completely transformed into Xia Lin's slaves and source of power!

A single person might only provide Xia Lin with a few attribute points; a stronger person could provide more, but it wouldn't be too outrageous.

There are just too many...

There are too many people and too many infected individuals.

And this is the fruit Xia Lin needed! This is the fruitful result of a year's wait!
Power is limitless!
At this moment, Xia Lin finally understood what it meant for attributes to be power and for numbers to be the truth!
He even had that feeling.

This world is far too fragile in the face of his physical body.

So fragile that he could bring annihilation to the primordial world with just a stomp or a sneeze!
With this level of power, Xingjie's Dragon Strike is practically a joke!
Open the properties panel and look at the ridiculously long number.

In a daze, Xia Lin seemed to see his spiritual power rapidly draining away, even faster than in his Border Wasteland Star battleship form.

However, there is no need to activate the mental energy tide...

This is because the Black Source, the Endless Energy, can perfectly compensate for the mental energy consumption caused by human-machine interaction!
Yes, in this form, there is no loss!
……

She gently straightened her clothes.

Xia Lin looked up at everyone else and smiled gently.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?"

He raised his hand with a rather narcissistic air, showing everyone his new form.

"My Dark Source Overlord Form".

This is Xia Lin's fourth form, following his normal form, black and red form, and borderland star battleship form. It is also Xia Lin's strongest form to date!
The only problem is that this form requires too much preparation work beforehand—after all, the strength of the Black Source Overlord form depends on the number of Black Source Infected, and right now, in this Ash Zone, there is also the Primal Heavenly Heart helping out.

With all these conditions combined, the Black Source Overlord form, which appeared for the first time, reached its theoretical peak strength!
After all, it's hard to find an area of ​​embers that lasts for a full decade.

It's also hard to find a scorched area that is so large, has such a large population, and has such a high quality of people.

But put all that aside for now, at least the logic behind this skill combination is sound and feasible!

Even a brief period of strength is still strength. Within this brief period of strength, Xia Lin could earn astonishing profits.

"But you are blocking my way!"

As he said this, he finally lifted his leg and took a step forward.

The sound of tearing cloth suddenly rang out.

This wasn't Xia Lin taking a big step and tearing his clothes; it was the sound of space being torn apart.

Then, a dark, human-shaped wound suddenly appeared in front of Xia Lin, which did not heal for a long time, and Xia Lin had disappeared.

The screams revealed Xia Lin's location.

He appeared beside Xing Jie!
However, even the strongest person present, Bai Wudao, could not discern Xia Lin's movements despite using his divine sense!

—Pure physical strength created miracles unique to the extraordinary.

With the added speed from his powerful physique, even an eleventh-level Immortal King would have difficulty catching Xia Lin's figure.

With a loud "boom," the screams instantly subsided.

Where Xing Jie was, Xia Lin took Xing Jie's place, but Xing Jie disappeared completely.

"Ah, it's broken..."

"I think I didn't control my strength well."

Xia Lin muttered helplessly.

His original intention was simply to walk up to Xing Jie and crush his head.

Unfortunately, Xia Lin was moving too fast and lost control, accidentally bumping into Xing Jie...

Xia Lin did nothing.

No skills, no items—none of them worked.

He simply used a power of 7683 trillion to briefly touch Xing Jie.

Then, this great expert, who might have been able to compete for a place among the top five in the human race, was crushed into dust... He couldn't even use his trump card of being possessed by Black Star.

It's hard to describe the expressions on the faces of the other people present.

Silence reigns in Baishan City today…

Xia Lin suddenly laughed.

"You're not planning to escape?"

This sentence awakened the celestial beings and immortal kings who were stuck in place.

Seven streaks of light instantly rose up and scattered in seven different directions as they fled for their lives.

The speed was so fast that Xiao Feng and the others were dumbfounded!
Because this group of people proved with their actions just how outrageous a level 11 escape speed really is!

But there is no way...

There was an even more outrageous monster at the scene.

The sound of tearing cloth rang out once again.

Xia Lin vanished without a trace in an instant.

When he reappeared, he was already beside Bai Wudao.

No matter how fast this Celestial King is, he is still far inferior to 7683 trillion in agility.

However, as Bai Wudao roared and unleashed his immortal treasures, Xia Lin simply pointed a finger and randomly activated a combination!

The light of the skill instantly entered Bai Wudao's body.

In theory, the power of a Celestial King can evade the light of a lock-on skill—the light of a lock-on skill "only" travels at the speed of light, and even an eleventh-level Celestial Immortal could react to it, let alone a Celestial King.

But you can't compete with someone using skills who's much faster than you!
How do you dodge a skill that's right in front of you?

And because Xia Lin possesses the original Heavenly Heart, the second and third laws do not apply when facing the natives of this Ash District!

The random combination once again revealed its brilliance.

You have lost the skill: Mysterious Heaven Basic Heart Sutra.

[You have acquired the skill: The Art of Seeking the Heavenly Dao!]

[Unstable mutation activated...]

Xia Lin, however, was too lazy to look at all this nonsense.

What is he doing?
He wasn't trying to hoard useful skills; he just wanted to exploit the cooldown of random skill combinations to acquire some foundational skills, which he could then sell to fill the gap in his evolution points. Xia Lin had adjusted his skills many times in this Ash Zone, but each time he was intercepted by Fair Trade and the Shadow's Recipe Book. Right now, his evolution points had plummeted to single digits, which wasn't ideal...

As for Bai Wudao and the other eleven level natives, it was inevitable that they possessed profound foundations.

So, naturally, they became the pigs in Xia Lin's eyes.

"Actually, if you all just pretend to be stupid and quietly go into seclusion for a few years, I wouldn't need to covet your skills..."

In such a vast and ancient world, with so many cultivators, how could it be difficult to find a skill of the foundational level?
Xia Lin doesn't need to keep targeting you seniors and exploiting you.

But since you've made your choice, don't blame Xia Lin for being ruthless.

After the skill swap is complete, a random combination will enter the cooldown phase.

Losing a skill is not a fatal thing for Bai Wudao, and the Search for Heaven and Seek the Dao technique is not his core skill.

The problem is, given the situation, Bai Wudao has absolutely no room to struggle.

There was no wind, no howling.

Bai Wudao only saw a ray of light...

The light flickered suddenly, then went out.

Along with it, Bai Wudao's consciousness also went out.

Xia Lin simply waved her hand.

Space shattered, the Great Dao collapsed, and the entire primordial world trembled three times.

This wave of his hand shattered all of Bai Wudao's protective magic treasures and immortal techniques, destroyed his physical body, and even shattered his immortal soul with pure violence.

Fortunately, at the crucial moment, Xia Lin held back his strength...

After a short period of adjustment, Xia Lin was able to control his body.

A flash of light appeared in the hidden soldier's cave.

Scarlett appeared beside Charlin.

"Keep it, don't kill it."

He handed Bai Wudao's immortal soul to Scarlett.

This person also possesses ten foundational skills, all of which are incredibly powerful and valuable. Xia Lin has no reason not to take them.

Seeing that Scarlett had sealed Bai Wudao away layer by layer, Xia Lin was able to set off again.

With one step, Xia Lin arrived beside Zheng Li, who was fleeing for his life.

After merging with the county magistrate and the original Tianxin, Xia Lin had a vague feeling.

He seemed to have deeply merged with the primordial world, becoming the heaven, the god, and the heavenly way of this world!
This allows Xia Lin to perfectly sense everything that happens in this world!
Of course, this could also be due to the enhanced and qualitative change in perception brought about by the 7683 trillion spiritual power attribute.

Xia Lin didn't understand...

In short, I told you to run, but did you really think you could run?

"Zhengli, weren't you looking for Qu Tianhe?"

"Following Zheng Li in a backward motion as he flees into the distance," Xia Lin asked.

Zheng Li remained silent, filled with despair...

“Master, I’ll send you somewhere to take care of you in your old age. Don’t worry, I don’t want your life, I just want your skills.”

"Immortal Master, stop struggling, it's pointless."

Just three minutes later, Bao Bowen's vision blurred.

Xia Lin has already appeared at the Tianxia Restaurant.

Below, the entire city of Baishan suddenly moved.

Pedestrians walked noisily, whispering to each other.

The atmosphere of everyday life permeates the air, bringing a vibrant sense of human connection.

Only in the Tianxia Restaurant did everyone remain silent.

After a long while, Bao Bowen stood up and bowed to Xia Lin.

"Good means."

Xia Lin smiled and shook her head.

"It was just a coincidence, plus a little bit of luck."

As he said this, Xia Lin raised his hand again.

This gesture almost startled everyone.

Fortunately, Xia Lin wasn't trying to kill anyone...

Although the relationship between the two sides has become a bit more strained than before entering this ash zone, it's not to the point that they've become enemies.

Xia Lin simply used the Ghost Five Elements Black Blade to condense dozens of black orbs, which he then gave to the Ash Zone Walkers of the Super Star Faction present.

“In the next few years, the rules of the world will be further distorted, and I cannot guarantee that you will not be infected with rust disease.”

"And this is for your self-defense. Having this will grant you immunity to rust disease."

For a moment, Bao Bowen and the others looked at each other.

Seeing this thing inevitably brings to mind the Black Iron Mystic Art and everything that just happened.

Would they dare to take it?
Bao Bowen asked, "Is there anything I wouldn't dare to take?"
"Thank you."

He took the black bead and said solemnly.

This is an act of kindness, and also a way for the strong to give the weak a chance to survive.

The logic is the same as his attempt to buy Xia Lin's life with two resurrection items.

Thinking of Black Star, Bao Bowen looked at Xia Lin again.

He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but after thinking for a long time, he sighed and shook his head.

Xia Lin, however, saw through Bao Bowen's true feelings.

He laughed and asked, "Am I now a match for Black Star?"

Bao Bowen remained silent.

Because he didn't know either.

But they knew that Xia Lin no longer needed their help.

With such strength, there's really no need for Bao Bowen and his group to provide any assistance to Xia Lin.

"Then please pass on a message to Black Star for me."

Xia Lin said slowly, "Just tell him that he wants to leave this Ash Zone, fine, but he has to give me a price that satisfies me."

Xiao Feng, who was standing to the side, wanted to speak, but Bao Bowen stopped him.

Xia Lin continued, "I know that taking Black Star away is what you want, and it's in your best interest."

"Letting Black Star go won't actually do me any harm."

"But I was unhappy that Black Star treated me like a fish on a chopping block, thinking that he could decide my life or death with a single word."

"So now, I'm going to demand an explanation for this."

"He can only succeed if he satisfies me. If I'm not satisfied, then I really want to experience the power of a level twelve god."

7683 billion attributes, original Heavenly Heart exemption level twelve judgment weighting.

What's so great about being a level 12 student?
Bao Bowen thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I can make up for this compensation when we get back..."

Before Bao Bowen could finish speaking, Xia Lin waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter who compensates me. But Hei Xing's expression after hearing this is very important to me."

This time, Bao Bowen understood.

He smiled wryly and said, "You really are..."

Xia Lin laughed loudly: "I, Xia Lin, am just an ordinary person."
