Chapter 597 Entering the Eighth Level
Chapter 597 Entering the Eighth Level
midnight.
On the sea surface filled with thick fog, there is strangeness everywhere in the tranquility.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo."
The whistle of the train came from all directions in the mist.
The sound surrounds the ears, and it is creepy to listen to. It seemed that it was not a real siren sound, but a wail of the undead filled with desolation, resentment, fear, nostalgia, hideous... various emotions.
The sound of the train whistle made people's souls tremble, as if the souls of living people would be pulled out of their bodies by that mysterious force.
Everyone in Liming was surprised and curious.
It was the first time for everyone to see the train that really came from the underworld to pick up the dead.
"crack", "crack", "crack".
Just as the big guy watched, a black-painted train with billowing steam came galloping from the sea.
The train is a very old style steam train, similar to the passenger trains in Shanyin now. But the train itself is like a ghost, presenting a translucent astral state.
This is a well-known monster in Shanyin Kingdom, it is called [Ghost Train].
Su Lun watched the train approaching calmly.
He sensed the law of death on the train more clearly than anyone else.
In the pupil of omniscience, he saw more information, and murmured in his heart: "This 'ghost train' really is a special existence beyond the laws of the plane."
This is the train to take the believers of Shanyin Country to the underworld plane "Nation of Yellow Springs" after their death.
Originally, there must be a plane channel to cross the plane.
Even the gods of the heavenly plane that descended on Frank before were the same.
But this ghost train can ignore the plane passage and appear directly on the sea, which is obviously a higher-level cosmic rule that exceeds the general plane.
This monster [ghost train] looks like a train in the eyes of humans, but its essence is actually a special existence that attracts the souls of the dead.
It is a law, a rule, a monster, or some other kind of supernatural power.
It can be in the shape of a ship, a horse-drawn carriage, an airship, and any other form of transportation.
It's just that in the belief system of the kingdom of hell, people think it should be in the shape of a train.
It is.
Su Lun didn't know what it was, it was so high that even his omniscient pupil of the second solution could not understand it. It is like the rules of time flow and space change that are close to the origin of the universe.
This scene is exactly as described in Fujiwara Hayato's travel notes.
In the blink of an eye, the train stopped and slowly leaned against the Yong Ye.
Because the train is in a translucent ghost state, everyone can see clearly that there are other passengers in the train carriage.
They were spirit bodies with expressionless faces, some were human, and some were monsters with strange shapes.
Most of them are kimono geta costumes, and they all look like the style of Shanyin country.
When such a ghost train suddenly appeared on the sea at midnight, everyone in the dawn group felt a creepy feeling.
Everyone has a feeling that if this train wants to take their soul, no one can stop it.
Just like death at the end of life, no matter how powerful a person is, he cannot avoid this ending.
An indescribable sense of terror struck everyone's hearts.
On the huge deck, everyone held their breath and there was no sound.
The train came to a complete stop, and a necromancer conductor in a black uniform who couldn't see his face opened the door of the carriage, as if to greet the passengers waiting for this station.
At this time, Chijo also jumped down from the mast.
The train that was originally only used to pick up the dead could not be touched by living people, but she held a depreciated ticket in her hand and walked towards the train with big strides.
The black-smelling train attendant checked the thousands of tickets handed over, took out the ticket pliers and cut a hole in the green ticket.
All of a sudden, the ticket ignited a ball of green fire, which burned up in a blink of an eye.
As if some kind of ancient contract came into effect, the phosphorous flames of the train tickets enveloped the thousand bars, and also merged with the train's necrotic aura. With her hands on the hilt of her sword, she stepped onto the train without hesitation.
Su Lun knew that after getting on the bus, the next stop would be the land of hell.
He looked at Qiantiao's back and shouted, "Miss Qiantiao, take care."
Qiantiao stopped for a moment when he heard his footsteps, as if thinking of something, he turned his back to the crowd and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. After pondering for a moment, Su Lun responded, "Got it."
She didn't even look back, she just waved her hand smartly: "I'm going, everyone."
Everyone in the dawn group watched Qiantiao leave with worried expressions, and waved goodbye together.
Get in the car and close the door.
Chijo sat in the carriage, mixed with a group of ghosts.
The siren sounded "woo" and "woo" again.
The train started slowly.
A large amount of steam spewed from the front of the ghost train, and the train disappeared in the thick foggy sea in a blink of an eye.
The surroundings became quiet again, as if nothing had happened.
"I can't feel it anymore."
Su Lun sensed the space positioning necklace he left on Qiantiao's body, but found that the coordinates could no longer be found.
Not far apart.
It is no longer in this world.
I also tried the audition organization's [Dags Goblin Communicator] that ignores space distance, but they have lost contact.
Only on her own
Su Lun looked deep into the mist and shadow of the sea with deep eyes.
The atmosphere on the deck was slightly sad, but he greeted everyone with a smile: "Okay, you guys are back."
After hearing Su Lun speak, everyone left with a sigh.
Su Lun stayed on the side of the ship alone, continuing to blow the cold sea breeze at midnight, looking into the distance.
No one bothered him.
Chijo is going to pursue her own way of swordsmanship, even if it is parting, she should be happy and bless her.
Thinking of this, Su Lun frowned.
With a flash of space fluctuation, he had already returned to the cabin.
There was a semi-finished [Isaac dragon pattern golden body] in the alchemy formation. Su Lun adjusted his thoughts and continued refining.
Unconsciously, time flies, and in a flash, it is more than ten days.
The Dawn Mission traveled eastward, slaying sea monsters all the way, conquering strong winds and huge waves, and finally passed the "Sea of Eternal Night" that used to be the separation zone between the sea area of the Dragon Kingdom and the West Sea of Luying without any danger.
Su Lun hadn't come out of the cabin since seeing off Qian Tiao that day.
Today's Dawn Regiment's combat strength is no longer what it used to be, and almost all problems can be handled without his intervention.
He can also safely integrate the required seventh-level cosmetics.
On this day, the dawn group finally sailed out of the endless darkness of the Evernight Sea.
The turbulent waves gradually calmed down, and the long-lost sunlight suddenly shone into the captain's cabin.
Sunlight like golden threads shone through the glass window on Su Lun who was meditating, and what was miraculous was that there was a layer of mysterious runes like black dragon scales hidden on his body.
And it is the existence of this layer of special runes that gives people a sense of visual heaviness that his body is indestructible.
In the past few days of retreat, Su Lun has successfully refined the epic [Isaac Dragon Tattoo] from the distorted eighth-level hell black dragon.
The original epic-level cultivation equipment refined by the eighth-level giant dragon, judging from the super curse characteristics, normally it should be the ninth-level professional that can be successfully integrated.
However, because Su Lun originally took the physical strengthening route of the rune golden body, and Dr. Banks's special dark dragon potion greatly lowered the threshold of fusion, and also allowed him to perfectly integrate with almost no risk of distortion.
After these few days of digestion, the characteristics of the reproductive equipment were completely integrated with the body.
The sun was warm on his face, Su Lun opened his eyes.
He looked at his attribute panel, and exhaled a foul breath: "The exhalation fusion is perfect."
As soon as the planting clothes were removed, the black dragon scale runes lingered on the body surface.
He squeezed his fist, and immediately felt that his body was cast like copper and iron, indestructible visible to the naked eye.
The toughness value on the panel is more direct, from 312 before unlocking the growth suit to 4552 now, a surge of more than ten times.
What's more, cell activity, bone strength, physique, muscle strength, negative curse state immunity, element resistance... etc. All the values about the body's defense have skyrocketed.
This will simply become the enemy's nightmare in battle!
"It's so strong."
Su Lun himself felt that some of these attributes were too strong to be believed.
His body was already strong enough before, but now this situation is even more outrageous.
Not to mention the eighth level of defense, even professionals of the ninth level may not be able to achieve it.
Before the cannonballs came, they had to be blocked with domineering, but now it is estimated that they can stand in place directly, and the physical body can resist unscathed.
It's not easy to die, this is definitely a direct increase in combat power for Su Lun, a puppeteer.
Moreover, after the physical strength is improved, the body's ability to withstand is stronger, and it can bear greater strength, energy, and negative states.
This outfit also has a direct boost to [Isaac's Giant Power], and a huge boost to [Isaac's Alchemy Heart]'s dark spiritual power, as well as the growth limit of blood phagocytosis, resistance of all systems, etc. Physical status All kinds have skyrocketed.
Thinking of this series of causal relationships, Su Lun couldn't help but sighed again: "Sir Isaac's idea of matching this colony suit is really wonderful! In this way, there is almost no threshold to overcome the backlash of natural disasters and successfully master it." Hegemony. It can even lay a solid foundation for the ninth level."
A thought flashed through his mind, and he had already thought of too much.
After meditating for a long time without moving, Su Lun stood up and stretched his muscles.
He thought about it for a moment, and then said to himself: "The physical value of this strength is completely enough to directly advance to the eighth level."
Originally integrated with the seventh-level colonial equipment, this is already the career end of most alchemists.
Otherwise, eighth-level professionals in the alchemy plane would not be so rare.
Even if some extremely talented people really have the opportunity to enter the eighth level, they will stay on this threshold for many years.
Only after you are really sure, you will choose to advance.
Because it is not difficult to integrate professional materials to advance to the eighth level, but the difficulty is that the eighth level has a catastrophe-natural disaster backlash.
This is the only way to understand the hegemony.
If you can't hold on, you have to die suddenly on the spot.
In the eyes of alchemists, the energy of the universe is constant.
Then some individuals in the universe gradually become stronger, and they will inevitably plunder the energy of other places.
The alchemist's professional advancement path, in essence, is a process of plundering energy step by step to become stronger.
Take an inaccurate analogy.
Professionals are like parasites to the plane.
The host will not notice it when it is a larva, but when it grows to a certain extent, its demand for nutrition will become greater and greater.
And the host will instinctively try to get rid of the parasite.
This is "natural disaster backlash".
This is the plane's rejection of a powerful existence, and it is also a test.
Without a tyrannical spirit, he must die suddenly on the spot.
But for Su Lun, this threshold is useless.
In terms of physical strength alone, not to mention the seventh level, even the eighth level, no one can compare with him.
And the omniscient pupil of the second solution made him have no doubts about the threshold of advancement, so that the eighth step of advancement told him that it really wasn't difficult at all.
Anyway, the condition is good, and it is good to advance today.
Su Lun stood up, ready to go to the deck to inform everyone.
After all, the "natural disaster backlash" movement is not small.
But as soon as he got up, he always felt as if something was missing.
Scanning the room, he saw the large square bathtub in the bathroom, and suddenly realized.
Oh, it turns out that Miss Qianjo is gone.
This huge captain's room seemed a bit empty with only him alone.
Su Lun frowned slightly, and muttered, "I don't know what happened to Miss Qiantiao."
As he said that, he stepped into the space door and appeared on the deck.
On the deck, all the members of the Dawn Regiment were very leisurely, those who basked in the sun, those who went fishing, those who had daily sparring, and those who practiced legion spells
After leaving the sea area of the Dragon Kingdom, the danger level dropped directly from nine stars to two stars.
In the past, within a hundred nautical miles of the Dragon Kingdom sea area, there could be dozens of gold-level and lord-level deep-sea giant monsters; but in the Luying West Sea, there may not be one in hundreds of thousands of nautical miles.
For today's Liming Group, there is really no pressure at all.
After becoming stronger, those dangerous areas that were once called "Nightmare Seas" by countless adventurers are like a back garden where you can go at will.
Unknowingly, the Liming regiment has gone through so many battles, large and small, along the way, and they have already been tempered.
Regardless of combat strength or the mentality of the members, it is enough to deal with everything calmly.
Spatial fluctuations emerged on the deck, and were immediately discovered by the patrolling sailors.
Seeing that it was Su Lun who came out, someone exclaimed, "Mr. Su Lun is here!"
With that said, everyone gathered around and greeted warmly.
Although Su Lun was one of several regiment leaders, it was very rare to see him on the ship.
"Did Mr. Su Lun successfully integrate the reproductive equipment?"
"Oh, I feel that Mr. Su Lun has become stronger again."
"Hey, David, stop bragging! With your sixth-level level, can you still perceive the power of Mr. Su Lun?"
"Hahahaha, that's it! That's it!"
"Hey, hey, it's because you can't perceive it, that's why you're so powerful. Don't you think so, Mr. Su Lun? Oh, by the way, what level are you now?"
"."
Everyone laughed for a while.
Su Lun also thought the atmosphere was good.
After not being on the deck for more than ten days, it was only after seeing that everyone's strength had skyrocketed again visible to the naked eye.
A man with a strong body, a strong breath, and a cold expression.
Su Lun responded with a smile, "It's time to prepare for the eighth step."
"Are you going to advance to the eighth level?"
Hearing this statement, the surroundings instantly fell silent.
Everyone showed a look of surprise.
Because they all knew that Su Lun's previous retreat was a fusion of seventh-order cultivation equipment.
And there is a threshold between the seventh and eighth ranks, and no one is sure even the best of the seventh ranks of Lu Ying's "Top Ten Legendary Bounty Hunters".
Su Lun is going to advance in a few days?
The news that Su Lun was going to advance to the eighth level quickly spread to the ears of everyone in the regiment.
Not long after, all Gao Zhan appeared on the deck.
In the regiment, only the old sword god Bartolo and the "Duke of Blood" Wordsworth are eighth-level, and Qiantiao is half-level eighth-level.
Now it looks like there's going to be one more, which is great news.
And everyone knows that after Su Lun advances to the eighth level, he probably won't be an ordinary eighth level.
It is said that the stronger the strength, the stronger the backlash from the plane when advancing to the eighth level. They are also very curious to observe and see how Su Lun will survive this natural disaster.
Not long after, tens of thousands of people were piled up on the deck.
Everyone wants to witness the big event of the Dawn Corps.
Lolotta said with starry eyes: "Wow, Mr. Su Lun, are you going to advance to the eighth level?"
Tani: "Mr. Sullen is amazing!"
No. 19 smiled softly, "Congratulations, Su Lun."
Barrett said with emotion: "Oh, Su Lun, your advancement speed is really surprising. I still remember that when we first met, I was at the sixth level and the fourth level, and now you have surpassed me."
Kit also groaned strangely: "Yeah. You guy, the speed of advancement is really exaggerated to the point of perversion. Before, I thought it was outrageous for you to enter the seventh level, but now even the eighth level is no threshold for you. ?"
"Duke of Blood" Wordsworth: "You have lived for eight hundred years, Su Lun, you are the most advanced professional I have ever seen."
Old sword god Bartolo: "The old man thinks, my friend Su Lun, your advancement may attract a strong natural disaster backlash, so be careful."
Everyone: "."
As soon as there were too many people, the big guys started talking at once.
Others didn't know Su Lun's condition, so they couldn't believe it.
But only Mr. Hei, who also drank from the fountain of wisdom, can understand why he advanced without difficulty.
Looking at Mr. Hei who came to congratulate him, Su Lun also asked, "How about you, Mr. Hei?"
Mr. Hei responded with a smile: "It's almost too soon. But because of the eye transplant, it will take a long time to do it."
As he said that, he pointed to his right eye, which was covered by an eyepatch, and said, "But I'm not in a hurry, my physical strength is not as exaggerated as yours. At least now I have to advance, and I'm not sure I can get through it." Natural disasters come back."
Knowing that Mr. Hei had noticed the changes in his body, Su Lun smiled noncommittally, and asked, "How is the eye transplant going?"
He didn't see anywhere that there are two forces in Mr. Hei's body that are fighting fiercely.
It must be the abnormal condition of the transplanted eye.
Mr. Hei said: "At present, there is still a strong rejection reaction. But this is not a big problem, and Dr. Banks can handle it. The trouble is to understand the essence of [Vientiane True Explanation], a god-level talent. After the transplant, I gradually understood the source of this talent. It is similar to the decomposition of matter in our alchemy field, but the level of law is very high, so high that it is almost the original law of the universe. If it fails again, I plan to integrate it into Alchemy planting equipment, but in that case the eyes will be a dead thing, what a pity."
Su Lun nodded frequently, which was similar to what he inferred.
The two chatted like this.
Mr. Hei's transplantation of Frank's God's Eye was an attempt, and the possibility of failure is not small.
But if you really want to succeed, the future is of great significance.
Because once successful, this can be replicated.
Su Lun is also very interested in [The True Explanation of Vientiane].
The future is also an important part of his career plan.
Although there is only one body of Frank, there are still the same "Three-eyed Celestials" in the Celestial Plane!
The plane war has already started in full swing, and there may not be no chance to hunt and kill a few more in the future.
What's more, Su Lun has a better choice.
That is the sealed black coffin once obtained in Luying Royal Mirror Library.
Su Lun has now fully deciphered all the ciphertext left on the black coffin.
A certain great alchemist once killed a high-level god with three eyes in the plane of gods, and the corpse of that god was sealed in the coffin!
But the current situation is obviously not a good time to pay attention to the coffin corpse.
Not to mention that Su Lun is not yet capable of handling the corpses of gods, at least wait until Mr. Hei's transplantation experiment is completed, and then look at the situation.
Su Lun and Mr. Hei were chatting, and after a while, the Eternal Night had found a deserted island.
Su Lun knew that there must be a lot of noise about his advancement, so he didn't dare to stay on the boat.
He teleported to the deserted island, set up an alchemy array, and then took out the advanced material [Descartes' crystal skull] that he had prepared long ago and put it in the alchemy array.
After finishing everything, Su Lun recited the general mantra of alchemists with a serious expression: "Follow the law of equal exchange of all things, praise the glory of the original creator, and use alchemy to witness the miracle of creation"
In an instant, the world changed color.
The natural disasters of the four phenomena of earth, wind, water, and fire are counterattacked, coming like the end of the world.
The dragon scale runes on Su Lun's body were shining brightly, standing still in the storm.
Everyone in the Dawn Group watching from a distance was dumbfounded.
On this day, Su Lun successfully entered the eighth stage.
