My skills have mutated again!

Chapter 318 The Fourth Round, The Real and Fake Black Star!

It's inevitable that we're destined to meet.

Many people overlook Xia Lin's seemingly low-level professional skill: versatility.

This skill, though only S-rank, can actually bring about many significant changes to the Unseen Shadow class!

Because it expands the range of abilities available to the Unstable Shadow class, making the Unstable Shadow both random and versatile!

This is also the second major reason why Xia Lin wanted to fight this battle.

Getting skills from Black Star and exchanging them for evolution points is a great thing.

Getting skills from Black Star for personal use would be even better!

As the random combination took effect, Xia Lin immediately increased the distance between herself and Black Star.

The two confronted each other across tens of millions of kilometers. The black star erupted with boundless light, and Xia Lin's hand was filled with a hazy glow. Soon, two energy swords, one gray and one red, condensed in Xia Lin's hand!

This is the black and red form... a further evolution!
Let's review Xia Lin's current multiple forms.

Normal state: The main combat methods are East Wind Domination and Ghost Five Elements Black Blade - to put it bluntly, it relies on its own skills (including skill combos) and physical attributes.

Most professionals actually rely on these things.

However, highly skilled professionals inevitably have more backup plans and trump cards.

Whether it's a combination of key skills and items, or some strange and unusual things, it can allow a professional to unleash even greater power on top of their existing abilities!

Xia Lin's answer is a multi-form mode!
Following the normal state is the newly formed black and red form of this ash zone—a form specifically designed for melee combat.

With the Xuan Tian Sword Domain buff, high-speed close combat, every strike draws blood, high risk, high reward.

But to put it bluntly, this is not a conventional advanced form. It is just a simple adaptation to different combat situations and different opponents. In essence, the black and red form is also a conventional form.

Both the standard versions of East Wind Overlord and Ghost Five Elements Black Blade can attack from a distance, with East Wind Overlord being more inclined towards group damage.

The black and red form is the opposite; it doesn't care about its ability to kill multiple enemies at once, but focuses more on its ability to kill single targets.

The subsequent Borderland Star Battleship form and Black Source Overlord form are the advanced versions of the regular form.

—Use skills and items in combination to greatly increase combat power.

However, due to various factors, neither of these two advanced forms can be maintained for long.

Although the Borderland Star warship form consumes a lot of mental energy, it can be replenished by mental energy tides. However, its large size makes it inconvenient for daily activities, so it is not good for long-term use and is not suitable for battlefields with small spaces.

The Black Source Overlord form is currently performing perfectly. However, it cannot be ignored how much preparation Xia Lin has made in order to achieve this "perfection".
This form has the highest potential, but it is the most troublesome to apply, requiring too much preparation.

The extensive preparatory work inevitably limits the application scenarios of the Black Source Dominator form.

To put it simply, the advanced form is designed to raise the upper limit of combat power, focusing on explosive power.

But Xia Lin is incredibly greedy.

He not only wanted explosive power, but also wanted to further enhance his combat power under normal conditions.

How to do it?
I'll borrow your Black Star skill for a moment!
And in this way, strengthen the power in the black and red form!
But once activated, Xia Lin was surprised to find that there was an unexpected gain!

……

"I am destined to be with martial artists, but I am even more destined to be with you!"

In the void, Xia Lin, holding two gray and red swords, said with a smile.

The law of sound vibration was transmitted to Black Star's ears, causing the light of Black Star's True Form to shine even brighter.

The black and red form is a special form designed for close combat, and when it comes to close combat, the martial artist is undoubtedly one of the top classes in terms of close combat ability within the professional system.

In fact, Xia Lin had this idea as early as when the black and red form was first created.

—Could I create a separate skill set specifically for the Black/Red form?

The answer is of course yes. Although the cost is huge and fair trade and recipes are really taking advantage of Xia Lin, Xia Lin feels that as long as the improvement is big enough, the cost is insignificant.

Considering that the black and red form is well-suited to the skill logic of martial artists.

In the Ash Zone of the Outer Gods and Immortals Chronicles, there are only a few martial artists in total—excluding Ash Zone Walkers from the Super Star side like Xiao Feng, only a few qualified ones such as Xing Jie and Black Star remain.

Originally, Xia Lin wanted to use Xing Jie's skills to reconstruct the skill set in the black and red form.

But after he obtained the original Heavenly Heart, his goal changed!
Why would I choose a worse one when there's a better one available?

Once the relationship with Black Star is broken down, this battle becomes inevitable.

It wasn't just because of Black Star's personality, nor was it to get more rewards for completing the mission.

The main reason is that I, Xia Lin, have my eye on your Black Star's skill set!

Even if you don't come looking for me, I still have to come looking for you!

[You have acquired the following skills: Five-Wheel Devouring World Demon Art, Eighteen Forms of the Evil Sword, Annihilation of Calamity!]

[Five Wheels Devouring World Demon Art (Racial Foundation Level): Passive Skill, Limit-Breaking Skill, Martial God Exclusive Skill, Fundamental Martial Arts Law. Five Wheels of Positive and Reverse Power, Devouring Heaven, Earth, Ghosts, and Gods! This skill will provide you with five Devouring Slots! These slots can use everything from heaven, earth, humans, gods, and ghosts as nourishment, serving as your martial arts source, increasing your maximum health, and providing a small amount of physical attributes and racial stats! Different prerequisites are required depending on the devouring target.]

[Unstable mutation activated!]

[Your skill, Five Wheels Devouring World Demon Art, has mutated into: Five Souls Heart Sutra!]

【The Five Souls Heart Sutra (Mutated)...】

"roll!"

The Five-Wheel Devouring World Demon Art slowly emitted light on E Ying's body, and then gradually faded.

The Shadow skill bar cannot hold non-negative skills... This means that if Xia Lin cannot complete the operation within a few minutes, the skill will automatically disappear.

The illusory image of the scales flashed by, and Xia Lin simply sold the Backstab skill from his regular skill bar and dragged the Five Wheels Devouring World Demon Art into the regular skill bar.

In an instant, five dark spots of light condensed and took shape from Xia Lin's internal organs!

The light spot intensified and gradually transformed into a black hole.

With the addition of these skills, Xia Lin gained a deeper and more detailed understanding of the logic behind them!
"Great technique!"

He laughed heartily and made his assessment.

This skill is indeed amazing! But it's also undeniably malevolent!
As the biggest villain in the novel "The Legend of the Outer Gods and Immortals" by Hei Zi, Hei Xing's strength is undoubtedly awesome (from the perspective of this book), which makes his skill strength ridiculously high!

At the same time, because of his villainous identity, his skills are bound to be evil and wicked—but Xia Lin doesn't care, as long as he's strong, it doesn't matter whether he's righteous or evil.

Just like this Five-Wheel Devouring World Demon Art!
This technique opened up five absorption points within Xia Lin's five internal organs.

These devouring entities can eat people, ghosts, immortals, and even an entire world!

After being consumed, the consumed item will remain in the devouring slot, occupying one slot, and will be gradually digested by the skill owner to transform into martial arts blood energy, bringing a not very strong limit-breaking effect.

The prerequisites vary depending on the target being consumed.

For example, if Xia Lin mastered this skill, swallowing an ordinary person would be as simple as a thought.

It's troublesome to swallow an opponent of similar strength—you need to severely injure him first, rendering him unable to resist.

To put it bluntly, this skill is not a combat skill, but a basic martial arts technique and a limit-breaking technique, which cannot be applied to actual combat.

But if it's about devouring an entire world, that's even more complicated.

For example, the vast and untamed world.

Nodes need to be set up in the target world, and all preparations need to be made, etc. This was the reason why Black Star previously used the Black Martial Alliance and the Ancient Demon Sect.

Even without the protection of the world barrier, it would be a complicated process for Black Star to devour the primordial world with the Five-Round Devouring World Demon Art.

But the problem is...

You, Black Star, are swallowing the vast primordial world; that's troublesome.

My Xia Lin can conquer the entire primordial world without any trouble.

I, Xia Lin, am the ruler of the primordial world!
The next second, the entire primordial world suddenly trembled!
Then one can see that in the vast primordial world, a total of 99999 energy nodes are lit up.

These energy nodes shone brightly, complementing Xia Lin's radiance.

At the very moment the light shone, the black vortex in Xia Lin's heart suddenly accelerated! The entire primordial world instantly transformed into light and poured into the devouring space of Xia Lin's heart!
Simple and easy!

But that's only natural!

In this vast and primordial world, if you, Black Star, won't eat, then I, Xia Lin, won't be so polite...

……

The primordial world vanished into thin air.

In the void, Xiao Feng and the others remained where they were.

Xia Lin let them go.

They looked at each other, speechless for a long time, before Xiao Feng finally spoke.

"This means... Black Star's Devouring World has succeeded?"

amount……

Don't blame them.

They simply couldn't see the battle between Xia Lin and Black Star clearly...

There's nothing we can do; the difference in strength is just too great.

One is a level 12 boss, and the other is Xia Lin, who has completed his preparations and whose attributes have been boosted to nearly 800 trillion.

In fact, from their perspective as spectators, the entire battle was just light pollution; they couldn't see anything clearly.

If Xia Lin hadn't protected the Primordial World beforehand, Black Star's two attacks would most likely have wiped them out...

"may be……"

Bao Bowen muttered to himself, then added, "Xia Lin is in trouble..."

"The Primordial World was devoured by Black Star, and without the foundation of the Primordial World, Xia Lin is no match for Black Star."

Ok……

These people are still guessing.

In fact, they didn't even guess the main subject correctly.

In the distance, the clash of auras between Xia Lin and Hei Xing shielded Xiao Feng, Bao Bowen, and the others from their perception.

Aura is formless, but the aura of the strong has already become tangible!
In the torn and distorted void, a slow burp rang out.

"Comfortable!"

Xia Lin gave her evaluation.

This is a sense of satisfaction from having a swallowed space filled.

But the benefits are actually not that great.

The Five Wheels Devouring World Demon Art is a fundamental martial arts technique. Xia Lin used it to devour the Primordial World, but he was unable to enjoy all its benefits.

For example: martial arts and blood energy.

This thing is a martial artist's professional talent, but Xia Lin's Wanyong cannot obtain and use the talents of other professions; he can only use the skills of other professions.

This renders martial arts blood energy completely useless to Xia Lin, making it impossible for him to improve his martial arts realm—Xia Lin simply doesn't have a martial arts realm.

As for the limit-breaking effect... well, it's just so-so.

The Primordial World is large enough, right? Logically, there should be quite a few limit-breaking effects obtainable, right?

But in reality, there aren't many...

On the attribute panel, the race value remained unchanged, and the attribute did not increase. Xia Lin waited for a few seconds, and the attribute only increased by 0.1 points.

The skill descriptions contain very little information... it's pitifully little.

However, Xia Lin had no complaints.

This skill must be retained even after this battle!
With a thought, Xia Lin stopped devouring the primordial world—yes, it could be stopped.

This is actually a disguised form of merging!

Xia Lin merged with the primordial world, using his physical body to protect both his source of power and his weaknesses!

This is the greatest significance of this skill!
Extending this logic further, it not only benefits the black and red form, but also Xia Lin's strongest trump card: the Black Source Overlord form!
The Black Source Overlord form has too many prerequisites, and requires extensive preparation to unleash its powerful strength.

In his spare time, Xia Lin had made an attempt to see if the personnel reserves in the hidden troop cave could provide an boost to the Black Source Overlord form.
The answer is no...

Being isolated by the hidden troop cave, the two sides were essentially in different planes, which prevented the county magistrate's Black Source Command talent from taking effect.

However, the Devouring Position of the Five Wheels Devouring World Demon Art perfectly solved this problem!
Of course, the problem at hand is that this Ember Zone is a virtual Ember Zone.

After leaving this ash-covered area, Xia Lin couldn't take the Primordial World with him... All those preparations were actually wasted in this ash-covered area.

It's a pity, but there's nothing we can do about it.

The rules of the Ember Zone are as they are, and it's not meant to be targeted.

But even without that trick, Xia Lin still has another one.

Do you remember Nelson and the Beyond Boundaries project?

This wasn't Xia Lin's design; it was just a coincidence!
That boundary beyond the boundary was originally intended to solve the problem of the hidden troop cave.

In the Ashes of the Outer Realm of Gods and Immortals, the optimal solution to the problem of the Hidden Soldier Cave has been found. Xia Lin originally thought that the Outer Realm Project and Nelson were useless.

But now that things have escalated like this, the "Boundary Beyond Boundaries" project not only has to be carried out, but it has to be carried out on a grand scale!
If this plan succeeds, combined with the Five-Wheel Devouring World Demon Art and the Black Source Overlord Form... the scene would be too beautiful to even imagine.

……

The light faded, and the primordial world vanished without a trace.

In Xia Lin's eyes, the skill descriptions appeared quickly.

【Eighteen Forms of the Evil Sword (Racial Heritage Level): Active skill, exclusive to the Martial God. Contains eighteen sword techniques! Consumes Blood Qi to unleash, each with its own unique use!】

[Unstable mutation activated...]

"roll!"

Black Star's skill set is already strong enough, and Xia Lin hasn't even activated his Deceitful Fate skill yet. Under the current circumstances, there's absolutely no need to gamble on mutation.

After a quick glance at the eighteen sword techniques recorded inside, Xia Lin understood them.

A martial artist's set of moves.

Xia Lin lacks blood energy, but that doesn't matter. Energy conversion can transform spiritual power into blood energy, and combined with the versatile Eighteen Forms of the Evil Sword, Xia Lin can use them.

Furthermore, the Eighteen Forms of the Evil Sword are sword techniques... The black and red form also uses a sword.

The most striking thing is that they're a perfect match!

This skill will be bought back in the future, as a unique moveset for the Black/Red form.

[Annihilation Breath (Racial Foundation Level): Passive Skill, Exclusive to the Martial God. Sweep, Destroy, Catastrophe! With this skill activated, the nature of your blood energy will change! Your blood energy will transform into the power of Annihilation Breath! This power possesses extremely high destructive force, ignoring most defensive effects and inflicting a soul strike effect!]

The Gray Sword was born from this!

Compared to the black sword forged from the power of the dark source, the gray sword forged from the breath of annihilation has a greater direct killing power! It even has the noble attribute of soul strike!
Xia Lin had previously felt that the Black Sword in its Black-Red form was not powerful enough, and that the power of the Black Source was mainly for pollution. But the Black-Red form itself is a quick and decisive form. If I want to drag out a long battle with you, why don't I use the East Wind Immortal Slaughtering Formation in its normal form?
Xia Lin had long harbored the idea of ​​replacing the Black Sword, and now the appearance of this Annihilation Aura has allowed Xia Lin to find the perfect energy type to replace the Black Source Power!

What's even better is that this skill is so simple that once you reach level one, you don't need it anymore!

With energy conversion at hand, Xia Lin can simulate anything he once possessed—this would also save a skill slot, wouldn't that be wonderful?

Everything seems like a long process, but in reality, it only takes the blink of an eye.

In the distance, Black Star's True Form of Unity raised its hand once more and pointed out with a single finger!
【Bury (Racial Heritage Level): Active skill, exclusive to the God of War! Can be used with any means, including fingers, fists, feet, and weapons! After releasing this move, if it hits an enemy, in addition to the direct damage, it will also inflict the Burial effect on the enemy!】
Death (debuff): Rapidly depletes health and provides a high recovery effect to the user of this skill!
This skill has no cooldown!

The instant that Burial Form was activated, Black Star's True Form instantly shrank, shrinking to a mere ten meters in size in the blink of an eye. This wasn't Black Star actively deactivated True Form; it was a skill effect!
[Superstar Form (Racial Heritage Level): Active Skill, exclusive to the God of War! Can only be used in the True Form state! Extremely compresses your body size, and within this compression, completes superstar fission within the True Form! In this form, you gain infinite energy, all your attributes increase a hundredfold, your skill judgment is upgraded by one level, your defense and damage reduction are greatly enhanced, and your skill power is greatly increased!]

This is Black Star's ultimate weapon!

If you ask Xia Lin, this novel, "The Legend of the Immortals and Heroes," is quite interesting.

Because the Super Star Form skill is exclusive to Super Star and his subordinates in the Unity Realm—of course, the true power of the Super Star Form is far greater than that of Black Star's Super Star Form.

This is a level six skill!
But putting that aside, let's just talk about this black book. It's really not even an act anymore.

The original work describes Kamui in his super-star state.

Therefore, Xia Lin was prepared for this!
In fact, Xia Lin hoped to get the Super Star State skill in the first random combination.

This skill is useless to him; what he gets in return is just something to sell for money—after all, Xia Lin can't possibly possess the True Form of Return to One.

The main purpose is to weaken Black Star's explosive power.

However, Xia Lin's luck was average, and he did not manage to switch to the super-star state.

But it doesn’t matter…

If it doesn’t work once, try again.

The two items exploded instantly from the personal space!

One of them is a cooldown reset item, which resets the random combination!

The other one is a gift from the Joker that temporarily boosts skill permissions!

It is precious, need I say more?

The instant Black Star activated its super-star state, Xia Lin transformed into a sword light, covering millions of miles in an instant!
【Shadow of the Demon (One of the Eighteen Forms of the Evil Sword): Transforms into a beam of sword light, greatly increasing speed and instantly closing in on the enemy!】

With Xia Lin's current attributes, the speed of the Shadowy Strike is unimaginable, comparable to teleportation.

What's even more interesting is that... Black Star's super-star state requires a short activation time...

why?
Because this creates an opportunity for the protagonist!
In the original story, Lin Fan had just become a level 12 Immortal Venerable and was able to defeat Black Star... Is that reasonable?
Not very reasonable.

So how can we remedy this injustice?

Let's set limits on Black Star.

The ultimate skill doesn't take effect instantly; there's a certain delay...

But now, this very setting has come to Xia Lin's advantage!
As the sword light pierced through the power of burial, Xia Lin suddenly felt a chill run through his body.

But then a system notification sound rang in my ears.

[Unstable mutation activated!]

[Buried Life (debuff), mutated into Demonic Heart!]

[Debuff: You are plagued by inner demons!]

It doesn't matter whether you keep it or not... anyway, Xia Lin just threw it to Er Ying.

Just as the super-star state was not fully unfolded, Xia Lin appeared in front of Black Star.

The light of random combinations in his hand erupted once more.

A light film appeared on Black Star's body; this was a prop effect.

However, under the gray sword, the defensive net formed by the props was shattered by Xia Lin's sword!
Amidst the fierce sword light, Xia Lin slashed with both swords in quick succession, unleashing the Eighteen Forms of the Evil Sword towards Black Star.

Black Star also drew his demonic sword, which gleamed with black light, and with his experience and exquisite swordsmanship, he went toe-to-toe with Xia Lin.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides exchanged thousands of moves!

Just as Black Star's super-star state was activated, Xia Lin's random combination was applied to Black Star.

Despite his best efforts, he still couldn't prevent it!
When there is no difference in skill judgment, and the attributes are similar, or even Xia Lin's attributes may be higher, random combinations are inherently difficult to defend against.

To solve the problem of random combinations, you can't rely on last-minute adjustments; you have to prepare in advance!

Black Star, however, was unprepared.

You have lost the skill: None.

The Shadow Demon's skills are all depleted.

[You have acquired the skills: Burial of Life, Nine Heavens Formless Sword Net, and Demonic Wheel Reincarnation Technique!]

[Burial of life (omitted). 】

This skill combines damage and healing, making it quite useful. Xia Lin abandoned the cooldown reset and placed the skill in the regular skill bar.

Although the skill is only effective for one hour, it means that Xia Lin will inevitably have to buy it back as part of his skill set in his Black and Red form.

【Nine Heavens Formless Sword Net (Racial Heritage Level): Active skill, exclusive to Martial God. You can create an invisible sword net for either defense or damage.】

A skill specific to a particular domain.

But it had no effect on Xia Lin...

You don't even need to drag it into the regular skill bar; you can sell it directly for evolution points.

[Demon Wheel Reincarnation Technique (Racial Heritage Level): Passive Skill, Exclusive Skill for Martial Gods! An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth! With this skill active, 80% of all damage you receive will be returned to your enemy!]

Counter-damage?

Useless...

Sell ​​Xia Lin directly to save skill slots.

Just after Xia Lin finished dealing with the three skills, the randomly combined light flashed again.

This time, Black Star finally roared, his anger bursting forth!

One step slower, every step slower!
Once Xia Lin gains the upper hand in the battle, he will not give the enemy any further opportunities!
This is the terror of Xia Lin, the terror of the Uncertain Shadow, and the terror of random combinations!
But for now, Black Star does indeed have the power to launch a counterattack!
Because this second random combination still didn't result in a superstar state.

At this moment, the amplification of the super-star state has been applied, and the power of the Black Star has reached its peak.

The demonic sword in his hand was faster and swifter, like an invisible divine punishment, instantly piercing towards Xia Lin's face!

Suddenly, a flash of light appeared, and countless items in Xia Lin's personal space shattered abruptly.

[Invincible Prayer (Racial Heritage Level): A one-time use magic scroll item inscribed with an invincible prayer. Activating the scroll grants you 10 seconds of absolute defense, but any attack you attempt will break its effect.]

[Note: Absolute defense is not the same as invincibility; external forces exceeding the limits can still break through the effect of absolute defense.]

This is an item that Xia Lin obtained from the January Dream Tribulation, and it's being used now.

The description of this thing looks impressive... but its actual effectiveness is not strong at all.

The main problem is that the intensity of this battle is too high, and ordinary tools are simply ineffective in dealing with it.

The light membrane formed by the invincible prayer was torn apart by Black Star in an instant.

But there's another layer of light film after the first!
More defensive items are continuously activated, forming a dense defensive network.

The largest of these items is the Immortal Light Pendant made by Xia Lin!
If the quality is lacking, make up for it with quantity.

Xia Lin right now is inhumanly extravagant!
Of course, quantity isn't very useful if quality is insufficient...

Those thousands upon thousands of props only delayed Black Star for a fleeting moment...

However, in that short delay, the third random combination had already struck Black Star!

You have lost the skill: None.

[You have acquired the skills: Super Astral State, Rift Collapse, Supreme Sword Body!]

The third random combination finally resulted in a superstar state!
Luck is mediocre, neither good nor bad!
As soon as the random combination took effect, Black Star's superstar state was immediately dispelled.

The demonic sword that struck Xia Lin's brow suddenly lost power. It was first blocked by Xia Lin's defensive items, and after breaking through, it was blocked by the protective effect of the East Wind Overlord. After struggling to break through again, it finally touched Xia Lin's hard skin and bones!

Before the demonic sword could damage Xia Lin's intracranial tissue, Xia Lin had already turned his head, letting the longsword tear open his scalp and skull, thus avoiding the consequence of being pierced through the skull.

As the blood sprayed out, Black Star's size suddenly swelled.

Without the Super Star form, he has returned to the True Universe form!
However, the increase in size is not a sign of strengthening, but rather a sign of great weakness.

The gray-red sword suddenly flashed.

"The evil calamity is tearing the heavens and earth apart!"

[Evil Calamity Tears Through Heaven and Earth (One of the Eighteen Forms of the Evil Sword): Mobilizing blood energy, unleashing a sword strike with astonishing strength and range!]

A sword beam, comparable in size to the Black Star's True Form, was instantly created and slashed down.

With the power of burial, it slashed into Black Star's shoulder and continued until it severed half of Guiyi True Form's body before its power was exhausted!

A scream suddenly rang out, shaking the entire ash-filled area.

Light overflowed from the wound, guided by the power of burial, instantly healing Xia Lin's head wound!
Along with this, a notification sound also rang in my ears.

[Superstar state (omitted).]

Sell ​​it directly!
This move is impressive, but it lacks the true form of returning to oneness, so it's unusable.

Xia Lin is not a martial artist, which means he is destined not to have the Guiyi True Form at the moment.

[Dimensional Collapse (Racial Foundation Level): Active skill, exclusive to the Martial God. Using blood energy and the power of one's inner world, it detonates celestial bodies, achieving destructive effects such as planetary explosions, stellar collapses, and even dimensional annihilation!]

An extremely powerful ultimate move.

But it didn't work.

To put it bluntly, the logic behind these kinds of ultimate skills is to clear out the field and crush weaker opponents. Against opponents of the same level, a wide-range, high-damage skill is destined to be very poor in single-target situations.

Xia Lin, in his Black Source Overlord form, possesses the skill Black Source: Annihilation Star.

In normal conditions, Dongfeng's group killing effect is also very strong.

Therefore, Xia Lin really doesn't need this kind of area-of-effect ultimate skill.

[Supreme Sword Body (Racial Heritage Level): Passive skill, exclusive to Martial Gods. Greatly increases your martial arts cultivation speed and significantly enhances the power of all sword techniques!]

A simple passive effect, yet it brings about an amazing change!

The evil calamity that just now tore through the heavens and earth had already been imbued with the effects of the Supreme Sword Body.

Xia Lin estimated that this skill would at least double the damage output!
For this reason alone, this skill must be preserved!
As for increasing the speed of martial arts cultivation... that's useless for Xia Lin.

The sword light erupted once more, startling the entire world.

Xia Lin and the gray and red swords merged into one, instantly transforming into light and rushing from the wound into Black Star's True Form body!

[Man and sword as one (one of the Eighteen Evil Sword Techniques).]

Suddenly, a surge of light seeped from Black Star's wound.

Still the light of random combinations!

[You have lost the skill: None!]

[You have acquired the skills: Rebirth of Heaven and Earth, Forge of Life, and All Martial Arts!]

[Heaven and Earth Nirvana (Racial Foundation Level): Passive skill, a skill配套 (supporting) the Five Wheels Devouring World Demonic Art. Upon your death, you can achieve a perfect resurrection at the cost of permanently sacrificing one Devouring Slot!]

Xia Lin: "??????"

This was the first time he had ever seen a skill that allowed for perfect resurrection!
Moreover, this skill was not revealed in the original novel of The Legend of the Immortals!

Because in the final battle, Lin Fan defeated Black Star in an unconventional way. Instead, he relied on Qu Yiyi sacrificing her life to activate the Kuntian Mirror and reverse time, causing Black Star to lose most of his skills before finally killing him!

This skill, hidden in the original storyline, is surprisingly powerful!

Under normal circumstances, this could become a deadly trap for other Ash Zone Walkers who attempt to challenge Black Star—five Devouring Positions mean five lives!
You killed Black Star, and he can perfectly resurrect five times! Aren't you furious?!

But right now, Xia Lin, this unpredictable figure, has encountered a bug!

Your skills are great, but they're mine now!
After a brief hesitation, Xia Lin decided to sell directly.

Because of the four random combinations, Black Star's twelve skills have been completely replaced.

It seems unlikely that the skill "Heaven and Earth Rebirth" will be needed in this battle.

This sale fetched an astronomical price of 95 evolution points, the highest Xia Lin had ever seen!

[Transformation Furnace (Racial Foundation Level): Passive Skill, a skill配套 (supporting) the Five Wheels Devouring World Demonic Art. You can replenish the consumed Devouring slots of the Five Wheels Devouring World Demonic Art by refining all things!]

Xia Lin: "Huh?"

This is still a skill that wasn't mentioned in the original work...

Wait, what's with this combo?
An infinite, perfect resurrection with preconditions?

Are you trying to cheat me out of this?
Originally, Xia Lin didn't think Black Star's skill set was that awesome.

It's all rather ordinary, with only a few minor flaws, and it doesn't even have any decent, dedicated defensive skills. Its main strength lies in its large physique, which allows it to withstand all damage.

Xia Lin originally thought that Black Star was a character with high attack and low defense... but now he realized that it wasn't that Black Star didn't defend, it was that he didn't need to defend!

Five lives, and then you can replenish your resurrection count...

That's great!

These are all mine now!
Not keeping them, selling them directly.

Since it's highly unlikely that the skill will be used in this battle, Xia Lin has no way to directly retain the skill obtained through random combination—some people suggest that Scarlett could use the Kun Tian Mirror to check it out.

it's useless.

Because during the settlement, the Ember Zone will revert to the Ember Zone Walker state and remove all buffs.

This skill sold for 65 evolution points.

Should Xia Lin laugh?
No, he should cry.

The more you sell now, the more money you'll spend when you buy them back!
A sudden inspiration struck Xia Lin, and he thought of another way...

But there's no need to go into details now; we can do it when we get back. If it works, it will save Xia Lin a lot of evolution points.

【All Martial Arts (Racial Heritage Level): Passive Skill. This skill records 1,333 martial arts techniques, a veritable encyclopedia of martial arts! The owner can use them freely!】

The Eighteen Forms of the Evil Sword are the essence of Black Star's swordsmanship.

And all kinds of martial arts are Black Star's martial arts career!
The former is incredibly lethal, while the latter is all-encompassing, with a single skill being a complete guide to martial arts.

For Xia Lin's black and red form, this myriad martial arts are of great significance!
If Xia Lin can truly master this skill, he will be no less than a martial god!
Of course, this is not a matter for the present moment.

A radiant light suddenly burst forth from the black star, illuminating the heavens and the earth!

The mighty sword energy, like a white rainbow piercing the sun, shone brightly in all directions!

Under the terrifying sword intent, Xiao Feng and the others sighed deeply.

"Xia Lin has been defeated. It's time to make your move."

After all, if this level of sword intent wasn't Black Star's power, then it could be Xia Lin's, right?

Hey, don't say that.

This really is Xia Lin's!
The fourth round of the Ash Zone plan, which is also the additional round after obtaining the original Heavenly Heart, is the final round.

Face the boss head-on, plunder the boss, and then become the boss!
