All-Heavens Game, the Strongest Player

Chapter 53 Level 5 "Red Cliff Heavenly Fire"

Name: Chu Xiu

[Occupation: Wuhou]

【Level: 14】

【Strength: 98】

[Agility: 99]

【Spirit: 301】

[Stamina: 97]

[Skills: Troop Deployment (Passive), Feather Fan East Wind lv4, Red Cliff Heavenly Fire lv5, Four Wheels of Mystery lv9, Star Lamp Life Extension lv4, God and Demon Unrivaled Eight Trigrams Formation (No Level)]

[Available Points: None]

After eliminating Shen Tianci, Chu Xiu gained a kill and five skill points.

He added the kills to his level, boosting his four main attributes once again, and then allocated all five skill points to "Red Cliff Heavenly Fire," a skill he hadn't upgraded before.

It was upgraded directly to level five.

As for attributes.

[Skill: Chibi Heavenly Fire Lv5]

[Level 3 Max Attribute: Can release a ball of burning oil, weighing three ounces, anywhere within 100 meters!]

Looking at the level 3 attributes alone, they are quite useless.

The casting range is not short, and it is a real spell, but how much effect can a few ounces of oil have?
If a target can move, there are always ways to extinguish it.

If you're only targeting one person, releasing the attacks repeatedly can cause damage. But the main conflicts in this world are military campaigns.

Faced with an army that could easily number in the thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, that little bit of oil was utterly insignificant.

But after upgrading to level four, the attributes changed.

[Level 4 Skill Breakthrough Attribute: Can release a ball of burning oil weighing four ounces at any location within 200 meters! 'Killing' mode is available, which only burns enemies without igniting them; enemies in this mode cannot feel pain or heat!]

The level four upgrade only increases the attack range by 100 meters, which is not a qualitative change.

The amount of kerosene was only one or two ounces more.

The changes are also minimal.

However, it has an additional "killing mode," which can transform into something similar to karmic fire, burning painlessly—if the other party is sleeping, they can be burned alive without waking up in pain.

Even when they weren't sleeping, and their backs were burning, no one could detect it.

That's really weird!

"As long as they don't see the flames, even if they're burned to death, they won't know how they died!" Chu Xiu couldn't help but think, "What if we blinded them first? Wouldn't we be able to burn them however we wanted, and they wouldn't even know they'd been splashed with kerosene?"

However, upon seeing the level five attributes, he retracted his idea of ​​burning his eyes.

Because it is not necessary.

[Level 5 Skill Breakthrough Attribute: Can release a ball of burning oil weighing five ounces at any location within 300 meters! After activating 'Killing' mode, your flames will transform into celestial fire, invisible to the naked eye!]

In terms of numerical values, growth is fixed.

For each level, within a 100-meter range, there is one or two ounces of kerosene.

But the additional effects are still undergoing a qualitative change.

In addition to the original absence of pain and burning sensation, it now has an effect that is "invisible to the naked eye," making it extremely sinister.

Imagine, you can't see the flames, you don't feel any burning or pain.

The meat was cooked directly, then charred black, and finally burned to ashes. In this process, who would have thought that they were actually only burned by a few ounces of oil, and that shaking their hands or pouring some water would put out the fire?

It cannot be seen or felt.

They might not even realize they're being attacked before they're burned to death!

Not to mention, after activating the "Gods and Demons Unrivaled Eight Trigrams Formation", this skill will also become an area attack: within a radius of 300 meters, heavenly fire burns, painless and invisible.

Let alone ordinary soldiers, even if you sent the heavenly soldiers who were besieging Sun Wukong, they would cry out in despair! "Level five is already like this, so if it's level six, level seven, or even level nine, which is like the Four Wheels of Illusion, it would probably be comparable to the Samadhi True Fire, right?"

At this point, even without activating the Bagua Formation, Chu Xiu now possessed offensive capabilities.

"Imperial Preceptor, the materials you requested have been sent over!"

When Jia Xu spoke, he dared not look directly at Cao Cao, and he spoke very carefully, for fear of saying the wrong thing. The Battle of Mount Tai truly showed Cao Cao's men what it meant for a "god to descend to earth".

Three hundred thousand!

An army of 300,000 men was completely annihilated with a single wave of Chu Xiu's feather fan!

The flood in Taishan County is still vivid in my mind. The cracks in the ground that tore the city apart, though they have healed, still look ferocious. Some of the soldiers who were swallowed by the mud and water still have their hands and feet sticking out.

An indescribable terror.

After taking over Yuzhou, Chu Xiu's purge of Yuan Shu and his powerful families was ruthless to the point of being terrifying: he completely disregarded the possibility of the other party surrendering and handed over the power of judgment to the members of the Southern Heavenly Cult who came from poor backgrounds.

Led by Wang Teler, a purge was launched that swept through all the aristocratic families.

In Yuzhou, the term "aristocratic clan" had become synonymous with death, and family genealogies had become the Book of Life and Death of the King of Hell, where souls were taken one by one.

Not a single drop was left.

To be honest, all I can say is that Chu Xiu is ruthless and won't frighten Jia Xu.

In terms of cunning and ruthlessness, Jia Xu was no less so.

The problem is that while Chu Xiu was purging the powerful clans, he also supported the poor families, so the lineage of sages was not cut off.

Not only that, they also established schools and promoted "divine script".

It opened up popular education.

This wave directly severed the roots of powerful clans, rendering the books and knowledge they possessed useless.

This made Xuzhou and Yuzhou completely impregnable, eliminating any possibility of a counterattack from powerful clans!

His divine power is unparalleled, and his wisdom is unfathomable.

There is divine mercy, but also divine indifference.

Even Jia Xu, who had cooperated with Chu Xiu for a long time, felt fear when facing him now.

"Just leave it here, you may all step back!"

Chu Xiu didn't deliberately correct Jia Xu's attitude towards him, because having some respect for him would make things easier.

Focus your attention on a wide range of materials.

He stretched out his hand and unleashed the "Red Cliff Heavenly Fire," refining the "Eight Trigrams Formation"—the various abilities of the Marquis of Wu do not exist in isolation, whether before or after breaking through the limits.

The star lanterns they made themselves used oil released from the fire at Chibi.

The wick that keeps the lamp alive is made from extinguished oil mixed with various rare and precious materials.

As for the Eight Trigrams Formation, its core is actually the Seven Star Lamp, plus a Natal Lamp, along with various precious materials, and finally, it is nourished with Chu Xiu's own heart's blood.

The relationship between the Seven Star Lamp and the Seven Star Lamp is roughly equivalent to the relationship between an oil lamp and a television screen.

The array itself resembles a mirror.

"This Eight Trigrams Formation requires one's own blood to activate, and the price is not without its costs. If it can be set up with soldiers, it's better to use soldiers, at least it won't hurt!"

However, thinking of the cultivators' alliance gathered in the imperial city...

He thought it was just a matter of shedding some blood; lives were more important!
"Go and prepare! Sacrifice the members of the Annihilation Cultivator Alliance to me, and I will allow you to bathe in the divine light and receive a purification of body and soul!"

Chu Xiu contacted Empress Dowager Wu Zetian.

Wang Ajiao was speechless and couldn't help but think to herself, "Do you really think you're a god?"

But she still agreed verbally.

"I'll go gather them together right away, then give them a good bath and wait for you!"
