My skills have mutated again!

Chapter 374 The System Revealed, Life and Death in Two Phases, and the Remnant Soul of the Past!

While Wuxin speaks eloquently, he is clearly only tactically contemptuous of the enemy, but strategically respectful of them.

Or perhaps, in his eyes, dealing with Xia Lin didn't require much more ability—I can handle you with three parts of my strength, why should I use ten?
I am confident that my strength is powerful and unsolvable, but that doesn't mean I should act like an actor and show you everything about myself.

At this moment, all he needed to do to deal with Xia Lin was the skill of causal entanglement!
Mysterious skill light flickered and surged from Wuxin's body.

Another entanglement of cause and effect!

This ability is not at the level of the Six Pillars, but only at the level of racial foundation. However, the judgment authority is too high, and the Heavenly Gift Source Essence adds an extra 10 levels!
Originally, the weighting of the Heavenly Gift Source Essence could only be increased by 1 level... However, both Luo Zhidao and Leviathan previously demonstrated a weighting of more than 1 level for the Heavenly Gift Source Essence judgment.

The reasoning behind this is actually quite simple.

— Rewards for race-based ranked battles.

This is the Ashlands, a place of reward and grace for those of higher racial ranks.

This is also another disadvantage for Xia Lin – his rise to power was too short and his accumulation of experience was severely insufficient.

In terms of financial resources, he may not be inferior to people like Luo Zhidaohun, but in terms of background, he is still somewhat lacking.

The fact that Wuxin has long held the top position in the human race rankings demonstrates the depth of his accumulated knowledge and skills, which can be seen in his ability to use the skill "Entanglement of Cause and Effect".

When the light of the skill rose, Xia Lin, one of the targets, immediately felt dazed and confused.

It was as if he had suddenly been placed in a chaotic space, his senses were completely blocked, and even his ability to think was blocked.

Unable to perceive the passage of time, nor to sense the external environment.

When Xia Lin came to his senses again, he found that Wu Xin had broken free from his punch that pierced his chest and was now ten meters behind him. All of his injuries had healed, as if he had never been hurt at all.

Instead, a fountain of blood gushed forth in the distance.

Leng Mo looked down at his chest in astonishment.

There, a gruesome penetrating wound appeared out of nowhere, violently striking the human Sequence Three's body, making it as fragile as paper.

The entanglement of cause and effect led to Xia Lin's attack being directed at Leng Mo.

However, Xia Lin didn't care about indifference!

I told you to run, but you didn't. Now you've become an unwitting scapegoat. Isn't that what you brought on yourself?
You deserved to be resurrected once!

The roar continued.

In the next breath that Xia Lin regained his senses, he had already reappeared behind Wuxin.

It is still the most ordinary, yet also the most lethal, direct punch!
With such a large difference in attributes, no attack method is more efficient than punching and kicking.

Unintentionally, one neither guards nor dodges.

He couldn't defend against it, nor could he dodge it.

The heavy punch pierced his chest again, creating a gruesome bloody hole.

The light of skill flashes once more.

This time, however, it was not indifference that was hurt, but Xia Lin herself.

Like a heavy punch to the chest, Xia Lin only felt a tightness in his chest, but it wasn't enough to cause any harm.

All of Wuxin's injuries disappeared. Just as he was about to distance himself from Xia Lin, Xia Lin's left-hand blade descended from the sky with earth-shattering force, cleaving Wuxin in two!
The entanglement of cause and effect is triggered once again.

The target is still Xia Lin!

However, this time, the attempt to shift the blame failed.

This is because Xia Lin's own sixth-pillar level skill, Eternal Inscription, has already taken effect!
……

Your skill is now permanently inscribed!

[You have inscribed the skill: Entanglement of Cause and Effect!]

This skill has been added to your permanent skill slot!

From this day forward, you will be permanently immune to all the effects of karmic entanglement!

The first entanglement of cause and effect was an unintentional retort of cold sword energy—this did not affect Xia Lin, but was recorded by Xia Lin's Witnessing Talent.

The second entanglement of cause and effect occurred when Wuxin used the Supreme Divine Sword to slash at Xia Lin. Wuxin controlled the Supreme Divine Sword with the entanglement of cause and effect, and struck Xia Lin. However, the main force in this attack was still the skill of entanglement of cause and effect.

The third causal entanglement was an unintentional diversion of Xia Lin's attack, redirecting it onto Leng Mo—Xia Lin, as the target, naturally suffered the effects of the causal entanglement skill!
The fourth entanglement of cause and effect was that punch just now.

The fourth time has arrived, and the eternal inscription is now in effect.

Therefore, when Xia Lin used a hand chop to split Wu Xin in two, Wu Xin could no longer use causal entanglement to deflect Xia Lin's attack.

However, after a brief glance at the personal information panel, Xia Lin frowned.

Because the causal entanglement skill he inscribed did not have the effect of (Heavenly Source Quality Judgment Weighted +10).

The Eternal Inscription fully inscribes the causal entanglement skill, but it does not inscribe any additional skill judgment weighting!
After a brief moment of contemplation, Xia Lin ignored the matter and looked at Wuxin again, his gaze intense.

The entanglement of cause and effect has been engraved, which is equivalent to Xia Lin finally defeating the first stage of the boss named Wuxin and defeating the second stage of Wuxin.

Yes, the second phase...

It is even quite obvious that the second stage is not the end; there will likely be a third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and so on.

Because in this brief exchange, Wuxin did not use any of his systems; he only used the skill of causal entanglement!
In an instant, Xia Lin felt his heart tremble, as if a great disaster was about to befall him.

This feeling, however, is not unfamiliar.

Because he had experienced this far too many times in the Dream Time Tower!

The curse of heaven has arrived!

However, the following notification sound was completely different from what Xia Lin encountered in the Dream Time Tower!

[You are completely immune to the causal entanglement skill, which prevents the Heavenly Abandonment Curse from being transferred to you and taking effect!]

Xia Lin clenched his fist tightly!

Things turned out exactly as he had imagined!
……

The three known systems are without intention.

Immortal cultivation system, curse sealing system, immortal evolution system.

The core skill of the curse sealing system is the Heavenly Abandoned Curse.

However, this talent only works on oneself and cannot be used to curse others.

When Xia Lin saw the skill of entanglement of cause and effect, he vaguely realized something.

—The curse of being abandoned by heaven and the entanglement of cause and effect are essentially a complete combo!

They bear the curse of being abandoned by heaven themselves, and then transfer the karmic entanglement to others!

This is the operating logic of the Heartless Curse Sealing System!

"But there's still one thing I don't understand."

Muttering to himself, Xia Lin was in no hurry to make a move, but kept his eyes fixed intently on Wu Xin.

At this moment, the Supreme Dream Crystal that had been crushed earlier is still exerting its power!

Despite the unintentional resistance, the witness, who was benefited by the Supreme Dream Crystal, could not see Wuxin's attribute panel.

However, when he actively uses the relevant skills or talents, the power of witnessing can see through the origin of the skills from the light of the skills and talents!

You're really something, but I, Xia Lin, am no pushover either!

As the light surged, more information came into Xia Lin's view, which made him nod in understanding.

"Sure enough."

【Skill 2: Violation Judgment (Six Pillar Level) (Heartless Exclusive) (Unique): Passive Skill. You can select three talents and skills to forcibly upgrade their judgment authority to the Six Pillar Level and greatly enhance their effects! Currently selected target 3/3: Heavenly Abandoned Curse (Talent), ? ? ? (Skill), ? ? ? (Skill).

Note: Once selected, there is a 1-year cooldown period before you can change your chosen talents and skills!

The Heavenly Abandoned Curse talent is only at the Foundation level, and the causal entanglement is not at the Six Pillars level.

However, the effect of the curse sealing system is a genuine six-pillar level.

The cause of this phenomenon must be skill interference!
Right now, Xia Lin has seen this six-pillar level skill called "Violation Judgment," which has completely dismantled the essence of Wuxin's curse sealing system.

The judgment of violation is secondary; the core is the curse of heaven and the entanglement of cause and effect.

One talent, two skills.

The seemingly unsolvable curse sealing system is actually quite simple in essence!
Now that Xia Lin has inscribed the causal entanglement skill, this system is no longer effective against him!
This is the root cause of Xia Lin's desire to fight this battle.

—With Xia Lin’s existing system, the more intelligence he has about the enemy, the more advantage he can gain!
However, everything has two sides.

He saw through Wuxin's curse sealing system, but Wuxin also saw through Xia Lin's eternal inscription.

"That's it..."

The skill flashed again, connecting Wuxin's corpse with the spirit beast pouch at his waist.

A faint, piercing scream could be heard coming from the spirit beast pouch.

Shifting the blame!

He transferred the consequences of his own death and the effects of the Heavenly Abandonment Curse to the spirit beasts in his spirit beast pouch.

This cycle has nothing to do with Xia Lin, so it can naturally take effect.

Thus, the body that had been split in two instantly healed.

The aura of a Celestial Lord erupted from Wuxin, far stronger than before!

From that light of skill, Xia Lin witnessed even more information!

[Skill 3: Fleeting Beauty (Racial Heritage Level) (Heavenly Source Quality Judgment Authority +3): Passive Skill. Most of your permanent buffs and debuffs will be converted into temporary buffs and debuffs! However, as compensation, you can draw upon more temporary buffs and debuffs from them!]

Xia Lin frowned, having figured out the operating logic of the Heartless Immortal Evolution System.

This system is actually quite simple.

It's also a combination of one talent and two skills!

The talent is a divinely granted evolution: after turning danger into safety, it increases the realm, attributes, and racial values.

The entanglement of cause and effect can transfer the consequences of death, turning danger into safety and thus activating the innate evolutionary talent.

Finally, the "Fleeting Beauty" buff can transform the permanent benefits of the Heavenly Evolution into temporary buffs, significantly increasing the evolution effect and boosting immediate combat power.

However, the problem is that this fleeting beauty is not right...

In Xia Lin's view, this is a purely negative skill—no amount of temporary buffs can compare to a single hair of a permanent buff.

This is a consensus among anyone with a brain!

Unintentionally, they went against the grain, opting for temporary buffs instead of permanent ones. This choice seems strange no matter how you look at it!
"Unless this fleeting beauty is actually a complementary skill from another, more powerful system..."

Xia Lin already knows that Wu Xin possesses three systems.

However, what is known is not everything!
Wuxin must possess more than three systems—Xia Lin had previously speculated this, and now, having witnessed some of Wuxin's talents and skills, he is even more certain of it.

Because its two core systems, which appear to outsiders to be, only use two talents and three skills in total!

Not counting the Heavenly Grace and Heavenly Abandon talents, Wuxin also has two six-pillar level talents and a total of fifteen skill slots!
Before Xia Lin could think further, Wu Xin had already stood up from the ground.

He looked at Xia Lin and nodded knowingly.

"If you can withstand it, you'll become immune; perhaps you can even control it?"

"Hmm, no wonder you took the initiative to find me. With this ability, I should also take the initiative to find someone stronger than me and acquire even stronger skills."

"But you most likely can't take away your talent, and you probably can't get skills that affect you either... From the beginning until now, the only thing you can be immune to is probably causal entanglement..."

Wu Xin's assessment of the situation's trajectory was remarkably accurate.

It's highly unlikely to be a skill effect, because if it were, Xia Lin would have already seen through it with his witness.

This is simply due to a lack of awareness of one's own experience and abilities.

Xia Lin was neither surprised nor flustered.

The strong are strong in every aspect.

He never thought that Wuxin, who had long held the title of the number one walker in the Ashes District, would have any obvious shortcomings—not only in terms of talent skills and move combinations, but also in terms of personality and intelligence.

I have no intention of revealing more.

He stood straight and looked at Xia Lin with a gentle smile on his face, as if chatting with a friend: "For the past six months, you probably stayed in the Demon Palace. After all, Luo Zhidao couldn't use the forced hunting card to lock your location, so there were only a few places you could stay."

"I imagine you've already exchanged information about me with Donald, haven't you?"

"Immortal cultivation system? Undying evolution system? Curse sealing system?"

Wu Xin didn't intend to reveal the three-tiered system, but Xia Lin just squinted, not knowing what Wu Xin wanted to say.

Wuxin, on the other hand, helped Xia Lin summarize the current situation.

"Actually, the core of the latter two systems is the skill of causal entanglement. Right now, you are immune to causal entanglement, which has indeed broken my move. You can't break the so-called immortal evolution system because it is a system that acts on myself, but you broke the curse seal system, so I'll say you did a good job."

He paused for a moment, then shook his head: "It's just meaningless."

"And I think you probably have this question as well."

"What's the point of my 'Fleeting Beauty' skill? It's a purely negative skill, is it some kind of joke?"

Wu Xin's smile remained unchanged, but Xia Lin inexplicably felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

Because he didn't understand Xia Lin's thoughts.

This is actually not difficult to understand.

The problem is that the aura of control that Wuxin exudes is too powerful and too astonishing!

Knowing that the system had been broken, Wuxin felt no worry whatsoever.

Instead, he smiled and said, "Since you're already so outstanding, I'll show you something even more fun."

The light of talent shone brightly.

This time, however, Wuxin no longer concealed or hid anything.

He fully displayed his fourth talent to Xia Lin!

Its name is: The Two Phases of Life and Death!

……

【Talent 4: Dual Aspects of Life and Death (Six Pillar Level) (Exclusive to Wuxin) (Uniqueness): Your body nurtures a remnant soul from the past, a soul intolerable to the rules of the new universe. With this talent, your logic of life and death will be completely distorted! Neither truly dead nor truly alive, you will simultaneously possess the three states of being alive, dead, and half-alive!】
In your living form, you will be suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, and your strength will be greatly reduced!

However, in the dead or half-dead state, this talent will greatly distort and enhance your skill system and power, and increase your training speed.

Each transformation deepens your fusion with the remnant soul! Once you are fully fused with the remnant soul within you, due to its unique nature, you will suffer a fatal divine punishment, one that even the Six Pillars cannot avert!

Xia Lin was taken aback.

This talent was somewhat beyond Xia Lin's expectations...

Because its explanation is very mysterious, and generally speaking, it is a negative talent.

The more you use this talent, the closer you get to death—that deadly Heavenly Punishment, which even the six pillars cannot counter, looks truly terrifying…

Before Xia Lin could react, a sound suddenly rang out from the distance, from the location of the Immortal Dragon City, piercing through everything.

Xia Lin clearly recognized that the voice was indeed the Demon Emperor's voice.

"Hey, you old scoundrel, this kid really is your son!"

The one who made the sound was the statue of the Demon Emperor among the six pillar statues covered by the Immortal Dragon City!

As soon as the sound rang out, Qin Tai immediately turned around and bowed respectfully to the statue.

"I've met my lord."

The Demon Emperor ignored him.

However, Qin Tai knew that this city of oaths could indeed accommodate the consciousness projections of the six pillars, and the visitors must be the original consciousnesses of the six pillars.

Just as the Demon Emperor's voice rang out, another sculpture belonging to the Creator of the Heavenly Dao also slowly spoke.

"Of course it's my son... the son who died at your hands back then!"

The Creator of Heaven uttered these words through gritted teeth!

……

The past is gone.

But as Victor said.

There, too many regrets and too much resentment remain.

The Heavenly Creator usurped the Demon Emperor's home and forced him to transform from a human into a demon.

There was also a Demon Emperor who spent eighteen years breaking through the barriers of the world, using the power of absolute balance to balance the power of the Heavenly Dao Creator.

As for the Demon Emperor destroying everything on that old planet, that was just something he did incidentally.

But among those destroyed were the wife of the Creator of Heaven and his three-year-old son.

The remnants of the past have essentially vanished.

After the establishment of the new universe, the remnants of the past are no longer tolerated!
Is there any precedent for this?
some.

The original dark side and the ancient rulers.

However, these two beings at the sixth-pillar level are no longer human or ghost, partly due to the impact of the conflict between the old and new universe rules.

If this is true for all six pillars, it's even more difficult for others.

Especially that child who was only three years old when he was born and never embarked on the path of cultivation!
He was also the last son of the Creator of Heaven!
The Demon Emperor gazed at Wuxin with a deep, melancholy look, as if recalling the past.

The remnant soul within Wuxin's body gradually became clearer in His eyes, which also aroused nameless anger in the Demon Emperor's heart!

He was a thief, born and raised in my house. Killing him would be too lenient of me; how dare he show his face in front of me again?!

However, in the end, the Demon Emperor suppressed the fire in his heart.

The past is too long ago, and mere children are not worth worrying about; the greatest enemy is still the Creator of Heaven.

He simply observed and quickly understood.

"The soul and body are combined to regenerate. The method is crude and full of loopholes."

"This results in a state between death and rebirth, and is even rejected by the new universe, making it impossible for it to see the light of day!"

In terms of technique, the state of being without intention is similar to that of the former ruler, but of a lower quality.

The reason is not that the Creator lacked technical ability—the day of the resurrection of the Old Ones must have occurred before the appearance of the Unintentional One, so there is no logic to the lack of technical ability.

It was only because the remnant soul was too weak to withstand a higher degree of modification, and the Heavenly Dao Creator's research on the Soul Dao was not as in-depth as the Demon Emperor's, that the final product was a monstrosity that could not be seen in the light of day.

This can hardly be called a resurrection!
Faced with the Demon Emperor's evaluation, the Creator of Heaven sighed softly.

"But he calls me Dad..."

……

The distant view did not distract Xia Lin and Wu Xin.

Seeing the fourth talent that Wuxin displayed, Xia Lin quickly understood the correct use of the skill "Fleeting Beauty"!
This deepens the fusion of the form transformation, turning it into a temporary effect that postpones or even completely exempts the arrival of the fatal divine punishment!
This logic is the same as that of the life-or-death battle (inferior)!

The next second, a vast expanse of ghostly energy flowed out from Wuxin's body, thick as ink, like a black ocean.

This is the second form of the Heartless One: the Death Form!
Xia Lin was wrong about one thing.

The second phase of this boss named Wuxin did not arrive after Xia Lin broke the curse seal system.

His skill system itself possesses a complete form evolution!
The transformation of form is extremely rapid.

In the blink of an eye, Wuxin went from life to death!

His figure had grown taller and his face had matured considerably, no longer resembling his original youthful appearance. However, he exuded a chilling aura of death, giving people a bad feeling.

If a celestial being were here, they would discover that Wuxin's appearance bears a striking resemblance to the Creator of Heaven.

An indescribable sense of oppression emanated from Wuxin.

Although his cultivation level was only Golden Immortal, Xia Lin could tell at a glance that Wuxin's racial value and attributes had reached the limit that the Ash Zone could bear!
But that's how it should be!

Because the Immortal Path system is fundamentally a system without intention, and its efficiency in breaking limits is actually not low.

Having been the first in the human race for so long, Wuxin's cultivation level shouldn't have been limited to True Immortal or Nascent Soul, and his attributes shouldn't have been so inferior.

Everything is clear now.

All of this stems from his fourth system: the life and death duality system!

In his dead form, he's not just a mechanical monster, he's a numerical monster too!
The transformation from life to death made Wuxin seem like a completely different person.

He no longer showed that gentle smile; his face was stiff and even somewhat cold.

He bowed respectfully to Xia Lin and said, "Please enlighten me."

Xia Lin sighed softly and made a gesture to Leng Mo and the others behind him.

--run.
