A Comprehensive Network: An Endless Adventure Begins as a Wanderer

Chapter 95 The Supreme Slash? No! It's the Supreme Shadow Slash!

With a flick of his wrist, Cheng Yi produced a heavy, jet-black sword in his hand.

The sword has a thick blade and is not sharpened.

Cheng Yi held the sword with one hand, feeling a little strained.

A strength of 12 points barely meets the basic requirements for using this greatsword.

His eyes lit up when he saw the significant reduction in armor reduction shown on the Heavy Sword's panel.

Perhaps it's time for the anonymous to change its target for name theft.

The Holy attribute is indeed useful against undead and vengeful spirits, but its versatility is ultimately not as good as Armor Penetration.

Compared to targeted attacks against a specific type of monster, reducing the armor of all enemies equally provides a greater boost.

Cheng Yi grasped the Nameless Sword, overlapped it with the Heavy Sword, and switched the Name Stealing effect from the Silver Sword in the Lake to the Heavy Sword Without Edge.

Based on your weapon's special effects, your Nameless weapon has gained a new trait: Heavy Force Armor Penetration.

The silvery-white, holy light on the scabbard dimmed, replaced by a deep, iron-gray halo.

The weight of the nameless sword did not change much, but Cheng Yi could feel that the point of the sword had gained a heavy, dullness, as well as an aura that ignored obstacles and was invincible.

When launching an attack, he typically chooses to strike the enemy's neck, eyes, or other vulnerable areas.

This serves two purposes: firstly, it triggers the extra damage from ambushes, and secondly, it greatly reduces the damage reduction from enemy armor.

Now, the 10 points of armor reduction provided by the Heavy Sword Without Edge have greatly expanded Cheng Yi's options.

Most of the armored enemies were completely defenseless before the nameless sword.

After all, a full set of heavy armor usually only provides about 6 to 7 armor points.

Against spellcaster-type enemies, a 10-point armor reduction renders a mage's armor and shield spells virtually useless.

Cheng Yi weighed the nameless object in his hand with satisfaction, then put it away.

However, he began to ponder the issue of Wuming's advancement.

As a legacy weapon, the Nameless can be upgraded, and only by upgrading can the previously unlocked weapon characteristics be obtained.

This is evident both in Cheng Yi's mysterious connection with Wuming and in the sharing posts by powerful figures on the forum who possess inherited items.

The upgrade conditions for different inherited items are also different, but Cheng Yi will have to explore them on his own.

Cheng Yi seemed to be deep in thought, recalling a slight tremor that had previously emanated from the nameless sword.

That was when he beheaded Louis XVI —

So the nameless one's opportunity to advance lies in—assassinating the king?

Based on the nameless character's undisguised characteristic names, Cheng Yi felt that even if there were slight differences in the details, they were largely the same.

Cheng Yi scratched his head and took out two booklets from his backpack, which he had obtained earlier due to fluctuations in the consciousness of the different planes.

The "List of Contracts" and the "Chronicle of the 371st Anniversary of the Dark Path".

First is the list of contract holders.

In this degenerate age, all dharmas are in silence.

For a Shadow Pact to be truly activated, connecting with the Shadow Realm and thus granting power to the Pactee, it needs to be registered in this Shadow Pact Register in order to sense the boundless shadows.

In the past, this wouldn't have been necessary. The shadow contract would fall naturally, and the recipient could immediately begin their cultivation.

Cheng Yi had already vaguely sensed that the energy concentration and fluctuations of the main plane were gradually becoming stronger and stronger.

Perhaps before long, the seeds of the extraordinary will spontaneously sprout once again.

At that time, perhaps widespread favor from online variety shows will also follow.

Cheng Yi, who had already traveled far enough on the path of shadows, didn't mind having another companion on the path of shadows.

But he still wanted to see this man surnamed Bai from Yan with his own eyes.

Firstly, to register his name; secondly, to assess his character.

If the person is utterly wicked, Cheng Yi won't do anything to him, but the Shadow Contract, which he could bestow, can also be taken back.

Coincidentally, Yan City is the capital of Yan Province.

Cheng Yi put away the list of contract names and took out the book "Chronicles of the 371st Year of Shangyan Dao".

Previously, the contents of this ancient book had only been transformed into intangible information and reflected in his mind.

But when Cheng Yi picked up the physical copy of the book, the shadow within him trembled slightly.

It was as if something in the book was drawing him in.

Cheng Yi searched carefully. Sure enough, between two stuck-together pages, he found a black tattered page.

[Network notification: You have obtained the Shadow Slash Technique (Fragment)!]

【Shadow Slaying Technique (Incomplete)】

Type: Skill Book/Inheritance/Flawed Quality: Brilliant Gold (Quality decreased due to flaws)

Item Level: None Description: This is a fragmented Taoist manual, recording the killing techniques practiced by a lineage called Shang'an Dao. Using the complete skill book will grant you the inherited skill: Shadow Slash Iv1.

The skill book is incomplete and cannot be used at present.

P.S.: Each of the remaining chapters of the Taoist teachings is engraved on a stele and erected deep within the demonic realm to inspire future generations to fight against evil.

The Sixty-Fourth Daozi of the Upper Secret Path·Xi Shu】

【Shadow Slash Type: Inherited Skill/Shadow Limited Description: The secret of the Upper Dark Path, using shadow as a sword and intention as the edge.

When you cast Shadow Slash, you can consume mana or shadow matter to infuse your next melee weapon attack with shadow power. If it hits, the target takes eclipse damage based on the amount consumed and must make a save throw for perception. If the save throw fails, the target's shadow is temporarily severed, leaving them in the "Shadowless" state.

Lost Shadow: Reduces maximum mana based on the Dark Corrosion damage inflicted by Shadow Slash. This effect cannot be stacked.

Shadow Slash ignores Dark Corrosion resistance. If the target is immune to Dark Corrosion damage, Shadow Slash will still deal damage, but the damage will be halved.

P.S.: Once upon a time, in the distant void, there existed a mysterious being called the Destroyer of Laws.

Beyond the Multiverse: Horror Tales from Another World

P.S.: The multiverse is filled with numerous skills called "Supreme Slash," but very few can truly rival it, though there are certainly those that surpass it.

The Alliance of Victims of Slashing Spells (Highly warned in red by the Divine Alliance of the Multiverse: This organization has recently recruited a large number of demons and evil beings)

Cheng Yi stared expressionlessly at the red text on the panel that read, "This skill book is incomplete and cannot be used at present," and remained silent for a moment.

"So you're showing me this panel just to make me envious?"

What does it mean?

However, it must be said that the effect of the Shadow Slash exceeded Cheng Yi's expectations.

It's one thing to have the same base stats as the Holy Slash, but to reduce the maximum mana cost?

Horror!

We wanderers can now possess our own Holy Blade!

At this moment, Cheng Yi's desire to conquer the secret realm reached its peak.

But he quickly calmed down.

The stone tablet recording the remaining fragments of Taoist magic is located deep within the Demon Realm, so it certainly cannot be the first level.

Therefore, obtaining the remaining fragments will be at least a matter of reaching level 10 or later.

Gan!

At this moment, Cheng Yi felt that the fluctuations in the dimensional consciousness were terrible. It was secretly sending him good things, but not all of them.

Could this be a ploy to lure me into clearing the secret realm?

After careful consideration, Cheng Yi realized it wasn't entirely impossible.

Clearing the secret realm will undoubtedly accelerate the repair of the seal. Although the seal still has 2000 years to go, from a more macro perspective, two thousand years is but a blink of an eye in the grand scheme of things.

If the seal breaks and demons emerge, the plane may not collapse, but it will certainly be in chaos.

Although judging from the perspective of a mortal's viewpoint about different dimensions is ultimately one-sided and narrow-minded, Cheng Yi felt that he had guessed some of the truth.
