My skills have mutated again!

Chapter 354 Fierce Battle at the Old Bridge, Error Appears!

In a flash of light and shadow, there was no one left at the bridgehead.

The group dispersed and climbed the bridge.

Senwang and Yanjie entered the Bridge of Death.

Carker entered the sick bridge.

Charlotte Scarlett followed Luo Zhidao onto the old bridge.

Gong Chen, however, remained within the Bridge of Life, comprehending the skills of the Bridge of Reverse Origin.

Shortly after everyone disappeared, the four bridges suddenly trembled and swayed slightly, showing a tendency to gradually merge.

……

Unfortunately, the unusual activity of the four bridges went unnoticed by others.

Everyone in the secluded Qingjue Temple is busy; everyone has something to do.

In a brief moment of disorientation, the light and shadow shifted instantly. When Xia Lin opened his eyes again, he found himself in a research room with a distinctly Taoist aesthetic.

The research room was spacious, clean, and bright. In the center was a jade platform with three jade slips shining brightly on it, seemingly indicating that these three jade slips were the key to this place.

Xia Lin, of course, didn't care about that.

His target was Luo Zhidao.

Luo Zhidao stood next to the three jade slips.

Infinite precious light emanated from Luo Zhidao's body.

This is the radiance of numerous protective treasures.

Under the radiance, Luo Zhidao was like an iron turtle, giving people the feeling that he was impossible to eat. Moreover, healing immortal light emerged, quickly healing the injuries on Luo Zhidao's body and expelling the foreign energy that had invaded his body.

However, it's very slow.

Both the Annihilation Breath and the Crimson Power are highly destructive and corrosive forces.

After the two undergo a positive fusion, the strength of the resulting force is further enhanced!

Even with Luo Zhidao's strength, it would be difficult to heal the recent wounds in a short time—external injuries heal easily, but internal injuries are troublesome.

Their eyes met; Xia Lin smiled, while Luo Zhidao remained calm.

His research on Xia Lin was not limited to Xia Lin's professional ranks and power system...

It also includes Xia Lin's life story and his style of doing things.

This game, which began with him, will end with Xia Lin.

Given Xia Lin's temperament, it's impossible for him to turn from an enemy to a friend and join hands to overcome difficulties!
Not to mention, he's not the kind of person who would swallow the shit he produced himself.

win-win?

Given Xia Lin's personality and Luo Zhidao's loyalty to the Creator of Heaven... this option never existed from the beginning!
Suddenly, a seven-colored light burst forth from Luo Zhidao's body.

The rays of light converged into ribbons, connecting all directions. This was Luo Zhidao's specialty, the Great Luo Zhitian Technique!
At the very moment the Great Luo Zhi Tian Technique was unleashed, sword light surged forth once more, and after being enhanced by the Kun Tian Mirror, it crashed down upon Luo Zhi Dao!

The powerful sword wind caused the space to shatter into pieces. In an instant, the entire research institute was blown to smithereens and completely destroyed, revealing the scene outside the institute.

It was an empty, boundless void.

The sword light struck Luo Zhidao's body, but was blocked by the colorful silk threads.

The two collided, unleashing a dazzling torrent that caused space to tremble, but it did not transform into a void storm or a spatial black hole.

Instead, it draws the four bridges of birth, aging, sickness, and death to accelerate their integration.

Unfortunately, neither Xia Lin nor Luo Zhidao could sense these things, nor did they care about them.

They couldn't be bothered with the anomalies at the Four Bridges, let alone the main quest.

They only have eyes for each other!
Enveloped in colorful silk threads, Luo Zhidao's figure floated and soared into the air.

Dressed in flowing hemp robes, bald and barefoot, with a phantom of a star chart appearing behind him, it looked mercilessly at Xia Lin like an open heavenly eye.

"A calamity has arrived!"

Luo Zhidao waved his hand forcefully and shouted angrily!
As the two words fell, a bright light suddenly burst forth from the sixth-level artifact: the Fate-Cutting Star Chart!

Luo Zhidao generously demonstrated the final function of the Fate-Cutting Star Chart: Fate-Cutting Heavenly Tribulation!

[Function 3: Fatal Heavenly Tribulation (Exclusive to the Luo Zhi Dao, requires the Great Luo Zhi Heavenly Technique): This function can only be activated while the Great Luo Zhi Heavenly Technique is active! Once activated, it will unleash a fatal heavenly tribulation based on the enemy's current strength! This function has a one-year cooldown!]

Level 6 item: Fate-Predicting Star Chart!

Three major functions: Gathering fortune, discerning destiny, and predicting celestial tribulations!
Improve your luck, glimpse your destiny, and unleash devastating power!

A six-pillar-level treasure should naturally possess such strength.

The heavenly tribulation began to condense at the fastest speed, and in the blink of an eye, dark clouds covered the sky.

A bad feeling welled up in Xia Lin's heart, but Xia Lin remained unmoved.

Beside her, Scarlett's mirror turned and shone on Xia Lin!
Just as the heavenly tribulation was about to strike, time froze instantly.

Scarlett's face turned pale, as if she had suffered a great loss.

However, the losses bring excellent results.

Xia Lin's aura plummeted, and the intensity of the heavenly tribulation also dropped sharply!

Luo Zhidao frowned and exhaled a deep breath.

"The Way of Time, it's this Way of Time again!"

His teeth itched with hatred.

Scarlett is of average strength; she's the kind of level 11 character that can be used by high-ranking players to rack up kill counts.

But as a support character, Scarlett's usefulness is immense.

Let's return to the topic of the Heavenly Tribulation that seals fate.

When the Heavenly Tribulation of Destruction locks onto Xia Lin, it is locking onto Xia Lin's current state!
However, when the Kuntian Mirror shone, it turned the timeline in the area back to the point when Xia Lin was locked in time.

By compressing his own power, Xia Lin could greatly reduce the intensity of the heavenly tribulation.

For Xia Lin, this was simple—the essential component of the overpowered brush combo was a series of negative skills that reduced his own strength.

Right after Scarlett finished her operation, the Heavenly Tribulation of Death arrived.

The surging lightning was like a sea of ​​light, striking Xia Lin with a crackling sound, but it could not shake Xia Lin in the slightest!
The Twin Fusion has no cooldown time, and Xia Lin's own form can be adjusted at any time by changing between human, earth, heaven, and god.

He can become weak in an instant, and he can also instantly regain his full strength!
The light from the hidden soldier's cave in his hand flashed and disappeared.

The Dragonfly County Magistrate appeared above Xia Lin's head.

You cannot use this End of the World skill because it requires an hour of preparation time.

Therefore, Xia Lin's strongest trump card, the Black Source Overlord form, could not be used!
But Xia Lin doesn't need any of that.

The moment the county magistrate appeared, Xia Lin simply activated the Deception Simulation of the Spirit World Book!

The current productivity of the fraudulent nation has reached 1000 points per day.

This figure is not only sufficient to supply the expenses of fraud, fate, and luck, but also generates a significant surplus.

At this very moment, Xia Lin used all his reserved fraud points to start a fraud simulation!

A flash of black light appeared on the county magistrate's body, and he instantly transformed into Xia Lin's appearance!

Thus, two Xia Lins, identical in appearance and of the same strength, appeared in Luo Zhidao's eyes!
……

Fraud simulations possess an implicit rule.

The deeper the research into the target, the less energy is required.

In theory, if there are enough fraud points, the county magistrate could even simulate Luo Zhidao and Sen Wang!
Because what you see can be simulated! However, Xia Lin really couldn't bear this kind of consumption. His reserve of fraud points wasn't even a fraction of this loss.

However, during the previous month's rest period, Xia Lin used the Spirit World Book to thoroughly study himself from the inside out.

This reduces the consumption of the county magistrate simulating himself, and Xia Lin can even further reduce the consumption of the deception simulation by temporarily weakening his own strength!
At the very moment the county magistrate finished transforming into Xia Lin, the gray and red twin swords materialized from his hands.

He transformed into a sword light, becoming one with the sword, and without saying a word, he slashed at Luo Zhidao, muttering strange things like "I'm going to cut you to pieces" and "Art is flying on a sword."

Unfortunately, once the fraud simulation is activated, the county magistrate will not retain his previous attributes, talents, and skills.

This limited the effectiveness of the move and rendered the county magistrate's trash talk meaningless.

But it's not a big problem.

A fully-powered Xia Lin is a formidable opponent for Luo Zhidao! Not to mention there are two right now!
Xia Lin himself did not cooperate with the county magistrate in the charge. Instead, he simply waved his hand, and the East Wind appeared, forming the East Wind Ten Thousand Array Kingdom!

The light flashed again in the hidden cave, and the enormous, boundless warship of the frontier star appeared beside Xia Lin.

Reach out and touch it; the skill light flashes.

Ergonomics, activated!
Borderland Star Battleship Mode, Activated!

In terms of the strength of this desolate star warship form, it's neither the best nor the worst.

It is not as powerful as the Black Source Overlord form, but it is much stronger than Xia Lin's normal form.

The advantage is that it doesn't require any prerequisites; you only need to use the Kingdom of Dongfeng Wanzhen and the county magistrate to buy some time before it can be launched.

Just ahead, as the county magistrate had already entangled Luo Zhidao, the roar of engines exploded!
To Luo Zhidao's astonishment, a hand as large as the sky slammed down on his head.

This is pure violence.

The destructive effect of pure violence ignores level differences and skill permission judgments!
The layered space, like a shattered mirror, spreads downwards from the palm of the giant of the desolate planet.

Various array lights flickered incessantly from the giant hand.

During the time Scarlett lived in the hidden military cave, her main task was to carry out the immortalization and modification of the borderland star warship.

The original form of this thing was created by the Silver Axe, and can be considered a technological product. When combined with the power of the Immortal Path, the effect is greater than 1+1>2.

By now, the Borderland Star Battleship is no longer the Borderland Star Battleship of the past... Its strength can definitely keep up with Xia Lin's growth!

However, just as the palm was about to strike, Luo Zhidao was also ready to fight!
With hands forming hand seals, celestial light burst forth.

"Great Golden Body, activate!"

Within the Great Luo Weaving Heaven Technique, radiating seven-colored light, golden light suddenly surged forth!

The bald, barefoot man in hemp clothing instantly grew larger, towering over the sky and standing half the size of a warship on the desolate planet.

The increase in size leads to a surge in strength!
This Great Golden Body is actually a buff skill, just like the East Wind Overlord's, that can temporarily boost attributes by a hundredfold!
"Iron Head Kung Fu!"

"Boom" sound.

Luo Zhidao, with his golden, star-like bald head, took the blow of the Borderland Giant head head-on.

The explosive energy flow spread out in a disorderly manner.

The giant of the desolate planet staggered back three steps, and Luo Zhidao's eyes were also seeing stars, and his head was spinning.

Beneath his feet, the county magistrate, as insignificant as an ant, squeaked and swung his sword wildly, without any strategy.

Simulation can simulate attributes, talents, and even skills.

But it couldn't simulate the martial arts experience in Xia Lin's mind...

At present, Luo Zhidao has activated the Great Luo Golden Body, and Xia Lin has activated the Borderland Star Giant Form.

In comparison, the county magistrate, who only possessed Xia Lin's normal strength, was rather pitiful... Despite his repeated slashes with both swords, he couldn't even break through Luo Zhidao's thick skin. The county magistrate pouted in grievance and simply used energy conversion to fuse the two swords, using a different kind of energy to interfere with Luo Zhidao's immortal power circulation, which could be considered to have played a certain role.

A flash of light appeared before his eyes, and the county magistrate immediately tilted his head to look.

To their astonishment, they discovered that these were actually the jade slips from the three old bridges...

By this point in the battle, the Old Bridge Secret Realm had been destroyed by Xia Lin and Luo Zhidao, but these three jade slips, possessing their own divine power, remained intact!
However, apart from the county magistrate who was emotionally unstable, no one present cared about the three jade slips.

Then Luo Zhidao roared again.

"Lord of Ten Thousand Laws, help me!"

"Demon Dragon Lord, come quickly!"

"Scatter beans to create soldiers! One million and eighty thousand heavenly soldiers and generals, heed my command!"

Light burst forth from the personal space and the magical artifacts used for storing items.

The Myriad Laws Dao Lord and the Demon Dragon True Lord, both forged from level 11 corpses, made their appearance. Furthermore, Immortal Beans were scattered by Luo Zhidao, transforming into countless incredibly powerful Bean Soldiers.

Xia Lin also roared!
"You think you can outnumber me?! You've picked the wrong opponent, you little brat!"

The hidden bunker shone brightly again, and the Bomb Boys army roared out.

In an instant, the boundless summoned creatures, centered around the Great Luo Golden Body Luo Zhidao and the Borderland Warship Xia Lin, fought each other in a chaotic melee, turning the entire Old Bridge Secret Realm into a complete mess.

The battle was fierce and the outcome was difficult to determine.

Both sides employed a variety of tactics, demonstrating a combat capability comparable to those of high-ranking players.

This level has reached the standard of level eleven.

As a result, the integration of the four bridges accelerated once again.

After a long while, a crisp buzzing sound suddenly rang out.

The Great Luo Golden Body Luo Zhidao and the Borderland Warship Xia Lin separated immediately upon contact, both looking towards the center.

A startling rift appeared at the site of their previous battle.

An eerie aura and flickering ghostly light emanated from it, dazzling the two of them.

A sound came from the crack.

It was the voice of the Forest King.

"Help me! Help me!!"

The Forest King has issued a request for help.

……

A danger called error exists right behind the dead bridge.

But none of the people present were actually aware of this.

Because of a lack of information, someone may be aware that an error exists, but not know where the error lies.

Someone knows that there are groundbreaking research findings behind the Bridge of Death, but does not know what those findings actually are.

The Forest King belongs to the latter category.

Let's rewind a bit.

When Yanjie desperately rushed across the Bridge of Death and entered its secret realm, what appeared before his eyes made him slowly open his eyes wide and grin.

The joy is beyond words.

"How delicious! How magnificent!"

What appeared before Yanjie's eyes was a mass of gelatinous polymer radiating a dazzling light.

The polymer is about the size of a planet, emanating ethereal, indescribable colors.

However, it is impossible to see what secrets lie deep within the polymer.

The gelatinous polymer is currently swelling and moving erratically, like a living thing.

Seemingly sensing Yanjie's arrival, the writhing polymer instantly calmed down, slightly turning around as if scrutinizing Yanjie with invisible eyes.

Hunger spurred Yanjie to action.

To Yanjie, this huge cake smelled absolutely delicious...

Instinct overcame what little reason he had left, prompting Yanjie to take another step and sprint forward. The polymer also extended an energy tentacle, as if extending an invitation to Yanjie.

All of this sounds slow, but it actually happened extremely fast.

At the very instant the two came into contact, the light and shadow behind them flashed again.

However, it was only after the Forest King had just arrived at the Bridge of Death.

One step slow, every step slow.

He watched as Yanjie successfully rushed into the polymer, which then began to convulse.

King Sen dared not make a move, but looked ahead with a puzzled expression, his brows furrowed in confusion.

"This is Qingjue's research result? What exactly is this?"

Unbeknownst to them, the gaze of someone in a higher position was cast from afar, but without alerting anyone.

Then a voice rose from the void.

With a touch of nostalgia and a hint of sighing.

"Qingjue, she's a remarkable person..."

The sound, too, did not alert anyone.

……

The Three-Phase Gang, its headquarters.

In the simple courtyard, a man named Lu Ming was having a small gathering with old friends, enjoying the mundane life he led after becoming a Six Pillar.

In fact, as soon as Senwang and his group entered the Qingjue Secret Realm, Chaoxing had already set his sights on this place.

Not for any other reason than to watch the excitement.

At the very moment the error occurred, Chaoxing smiled slightly and began to recount past events to Zhang Hai and Zhou Xinglin, the two level twelve deputy leaders of the Three Phases Gang.

"Qingjue, that's a wonderful person."

"He's so stubborn, he insists on taking the path of combining immortal and martial arts... I clearly told him that immortal and martial arts cannot be combined, that there are huge problems and very few benefits. It's not that he can't go down that path, it's just not worth it, but he still wouldn't listen. He even gave up the opportunity to reach level twelve that I offered him... Sigh, you can't reason with a damn fool..."

Beside him, Zhang Hai, the deputy leader of the Three Phases Gang, smiled slightly and spoke softly.

"Moreover, this person is a bit too persistent... After bidding farewell to you, the gang leader, he came to me again, asking about your past in his words."

Chaoxing smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with bringing up the past."

Zhang Hai also laughed and said, "Indeed, so I told him about the cases where errors occurred when immortal and martial arts were combined."

Without Chaoxing's consent and nod, outsiders would have no way of knowing Chaoxing's past.

Therefore, this matter is also inextricably linked to Chaoxing.

"My original intention was to see what changes this flawed form would undergo under the rules of the new universe, whether it would still be as troublesome and difficult as before, and whether it could be used to my advantage."

"But looking at it now, well, it's just so-so."

Different identities, different abilities, and therefore different perspectives.

The mistakes of the past were unsolvable in the pre-supernova universe, the root cause of the universe's destruction.

However, under the new universe rules, in the eyes of Lu Ming, who is at the sixth-pillar level, there are far too many solutions to this problem.

Chaoxing spoke slowly.

"There is one thing: Qingjue's calculation was correct."

"The occurrence of the error did indeed bring about a cosmic loophole, which can be used to achieve the twelfth level without relying on the six pillars."

Qingjue's research is not entirely wrong.

"But in essence, this is just a logical paradox."

"The Immortal Path and the Martial Path are completely incompatible. Two completely incompatible paths cannot merge. Once they merge, they will inevitably become a loophole in the rules of the universe. The cause of this loophole is not limited to the fusion of Immortal and Martial Paths. Any two completely incompatible paths can do this."

"So from this perspective, the self-righteous Sen Shuhan actually gave up the greatest treasure in the Qingjue Secret Treasury... that skill called the Bridge of Reverse Origin."

Just then, a flash of light appeared in Zhang Hai's hand.

Another Reverse Source Bridge skill crystal appeared in Zhang Hai's hand.

He handed it to Chaoxing with a smile, who simply tasted it and shook his head.

"The idea is good, but the conditions for its use are harsh, and there is a lot of room for optimization... It's just a pity that this thing is completely useless for level 12 and above."

Even the greatest treasure in the Qingjue Secret Treasury was considered useless by Chaoxing, so there was no need to study it in detail.

Chaoxing steered the conversation back to the mistake.

"Under the new universe professional system, the nature of the error remains the same, but its intensity has changed."

"In essence, this thing is still a man-made cosmic calamity, born to be an enemy of the universe, wanting to devour everything, melt everything, and return everything to its origin."

"In this respect, the error has many similarities with the primordial dark side, and its nature is even more in line with the twelfth level of primordial hunger. No wonder it could have such a strong attraction to that primordial hunger apostle."

"On the contrary, its actual strength... is just so-so."

"Born from the pure and absolute, it was originally level eleven. Later, it devoured Leviathan, gaining some of Leviathan's abilities. Then, it merged with the apostles of the Primordial Hunger, attracting the attention of the Primordial Hunger and securing its investment... It's probably a inferior version of level twelve? Hmm, that's about it..."

This level of strength is something that all three people present could easily handle.

Zhang Hai then turned his gaze to Xia Lin.

"But for them, this is a tremendous test."

Chaoxing shrugged slightly upon hearing this, but stopped talking about the matter and changed the subject to another issue.

"Wuxin, the first in the human race, the closed-door disciple of the Creator of Heaven."

"This person's strength has already reached its peak in the Ash Zone! And this battle of the myriad races was greatly promoted by the Creator of Heaven, in order to add more weight to this Wuxin and pave the way for the future."

"Right now, the only one who can pose a threat to Wuxin is Donald on Wenyu's side, but the odds of winning are at best 30-70..."

"I don't know what significance this Wuxin has for the Creator of Heaven, or why it deserves such attention from the Creator of Heaven, but clearly, letting him leave the Ashes Zone smoothly will not be a good thing for you."

The position of the Six Pillars is unshakeable.

But at level twelve, life and death are in the hands of fate...

What kind of changes a carefully nurtured Ash Walker, who has not made a move for a long time but was taken in as a closed-door disciple by the Creator of Heaven, could bring to the situation of the main universe once he leaves the Ash Zone is something no one can predict.

As he spoke, Chaoxing turned his gaze to Xia Lin.

"And this kid, he really humiliated the old thief Tiandao before. Wuxin respected the old thief the most, and probably had the intention to kill Xia Lin long ago."

"If Xia Lin can't even get past this simple hurdle, then I think my Unity Realm Core will have been given away for nothing..."

After taking a sip of the fine wine, Chaoxing turned to look at Zhou Xinglin.

“Send someone to take a trip there and recover the error after the Ashes are gone, so as to prevent it from causing more damage.”
