Chapter 604 It Is Formless, It Is All Forms, I Am JOKER.

The next day.

Ji Xun and the other three finally recovered from the state of exhaustion of spell power.

The body of the Balrog has been dismantled into various materials, and now only the dark lava rocks are left on the ground.

Ji Xun went to the magma deep in the cave and picked the [Vulcan Fruit] and gave it to Isabel.

This girl ate the fruit, and now her whole body is like a burning ball of fire. She is trying her best to meditate and digest.

After seven days of fierce fighting, the rebel army needed top experts to take charge, so Gong Wu led David to take the lead and chase the large army.

But Qin Ru was still in that mysterious state of understanding.

Ever since she killed this [Fire Demon King Ganur] yesterday, she has been glowing with the dazzling holy light of the sun.

Ji Xun could see that this was a sign of becoming a saint and improving his destiny.

From this moment on, she truly reached a high level of resonance with the sacred object of royal power, the Holy Sword of Olympus.

Ji Xun didn't bother him, and kept silently guarding him while absorbing the [Lava Heart].

Ever since he advanced to the ninth level, it has been difficult to use the feast to absorb extraordinary characteristics from the outside world as before.

Now that the level has reached the peak of the card master, even if one absorbs corpses of the same level, the extraordinary characteristics that can be obtained are very limited.

Besides, there aren't that many ninth-level corpses that he can absorb.

And this [Lava Core] was transformed into the divine form of a god-level red dragon that fell during the Great Collapse Era. Its level is considered to be "sub-god level" and its extraordinary properties are astonishing.

This provided Ji Xun with a large amount of pure absorbable extraordinary properties.

While meditating, suddenly a divine power leaked out.

Ji Xun opened his eyes, and the holy light that was looking at Qin Rushi's body finally converged.

This also means that she has stabilized the mysterious power she realized yesterday.

Qin Ru breathed out a breath of turbid air, and an invisible aura of divine power quietly swept over him.

Although there is no need for the gods to come, it still gives people a sense of sanctity that the Valkyrie is here in person and cannot be looked directly at.

Ji Xun narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Qin Rushi, vaguely guessing something.

Darcy on the side also tilted his head and looked curiously.

After all, it was his respected Master, not anyone else. He directly asked the doubt in his heart, "Master, why do I feel that you and the teacher feel more and more similar? Have you also come into contact with the power of rules?"

Although he couldn't understand it, this mushroom head was very smart and he deduced some truth.

Qin Ru smiled and said without hesitation: "Yeah."

As she spoke, her shining crystal eyes met Ji Xun's curious gaze, and she explained: "The Holy Sword of Royal Power allowed me to come into contact with the unique power of the 'Kingslayer Sequence'"

"oh?"

Ji Xun was not unfamiliar with this statement.

Before, he relied on [Crown of Thorns] to understand the ability of the Tyrant Sequence to change the rules.

Now it seems that Qin Rushi is taking the same path.

Instead, Ji Xun was curious about something else and asked, "What kind of rule do you understand?"

Qin Ru smiled calmly and said a new ability that Ji Xun could understand but could not fully understand: "Breaking the rules."

Looking at his surprised expression, Qin Rushi added: "The power of the Holy Sword of Royal Power is to destroy the original rules and order."

"So powerful?"

This time Ji Xun Ting understood.

You must know that the divine level is to use certain cosmic rules for your own use.

The Tyrant Sequence only changes some rules to make the environment more favorable to itself.

And if you can break the rules, that's awesome.

No wonder this [Holy Sword of Olympus] is the exclusive royal weapon of [Diamond K-Kingslayer], so that’s it.

Doesn't regicide mean breaking the original rules?

Although I roughly understood it, Ji Xun still couldn't understand it accurately.

Qin Ruzhi knew that the power he had was very special and said, "How about you give it a try?"

She herself also wanted to try out the new abilities she had learned.

The tacit understanding between the two made Ji Xun understand instantly. He was also extremely curious and agreed: "Okay!"

As he spoke, he directly took out the Cai JOKER curse card and instantly released the spell: "Poker Game·Knight's Square."

With a flash of inspiration on the card, an invisible defensive barrier formed around Ji Xun's body.

This is a rule-level defensive restriction that is simple but has miraculous defensive effects.

At least if you don't encounter special creatures at the level of the Flame Demon King, it will be extremely difficult to break through with ordinary laws and means.

Seeing this, Qin Ru raised the holy sword of royal power.

She did not dare to aim at Ji Xun, but turned slightly in the direction, waiting for the holy light on the sword to be like a torch, and suddenly slashed down.

With a "swish" sound, a crescent sword energy that was more than ten meters long was instantly formed, carrying a devastating sense of sharpness, and slashed forward.

Ji Xun's eyelids twitched as he watched.

This power shocked even Qin Ruzhi himself.

The sword energy was obviously estimated to be only a few meters long, how could it be so big?

Before the two of them could be surprised, they saw the Crescent Sword Qi hitting Ji Xun's defensive restraint.

The invisible sword energy hit the invisible shield, and the two sides were in a stalemate for a moment. Ji Xun watched as the shield broke open, and the sword energy poured in fiercely.

"Broken?"

Ji Xun's eyes widened when he saw the sword energy passing by him.

Although this barrier was randomly arranged, it cannot be broken by ordinary sword energy.

Taking a closer look at the sword energy that cut a big crack in the ground, Ji Xun frowned and couldn't help but sigh: "It is indeed a violation of rules! This method is amazing."

At this moment, he clearly recognized the destructive power of the King's Sword.

When rules are matched, it is like a wooden sword against an iron shield. The two are not in the same dimension at all.

This is also the qualitative difference between humans and gods at the extraordinary level.

However, the sword just now broke the rules.

Ji Xun thought of too many pictures in his mind at once. This ability is simply a natural counter to all kinds of god-level methods!

All are ants under the rules.

One sword breaks all laws, and all fancy rules are one sword.

Although he has only touched the surface of the rules now, the spell just now is far from the strength of the god-level. But Qin Rushi is only the eighth level!

If she is at the ninth level, how strong will she be?

At least the Flame Demon King, who they fought hard for seven days a few days ago, must have been killed in that short time.

Qin Rushi's expression was also unable to hide her surprise, and she was obviously shocked by her sword.

She looked at Ji Xun, blinked, and asked uncertainly, "It seems very powerful?"

It was also the first time for her to touch this new level of power, and she was not sure what kind of outrageous ability she had mastered.

Ji Xun's eyes twitched inexplicably when he heard it, and then he smiled with relief, "Very powerful."

At the same time, he was amazed that the four royal sacred artifacts inherited from the Talen Empire were really so special.

Oh.

The last one [Royal Treasure Orb] is still in the hands of the Holy See Pope, and has not been seen yet.

The two of them didn't need to say much. Qin Rushi looked at his expression and understood that she might have really comprehended something extraordinary.

Qin Rushi also left.

She was the leader of the rebels, and of course she couldn't leave the main force for a long time.

And Isabel was still digesting the [Fire God Fruit] for a long time, and Ji Xun also needed to absorb the [Lava Heart], so they simply stayed in this cave.

It was nearly a month in a flash.

The former crypt of the dragon lizard clan has completely turned into a ruin, and the flowing lava has completely cooled into hard volcanic rock.

But the remaining breath of the Flame Demon is still there. At least in the next few years, the small beasts will not dare to approach.

The power of the fire element is still abundant. This is a quiet environment very suitable for practice.

Ji Xun is meditating, and the two disciples Darcy and Isabel are also busy with their own practice.

This day, next to the Forbidden Ruins Stele.

Mushroom-headed Darcy is standing in front of the stele, like an archaeologist, stroking the words on the stele bit by bit, reading carefully.

Ji Xun was also very strange before.

At Darcy's level, it is reasonable to say that he can't understand the content on the stele at all.

But this little mushroom head showed an extraordinary ability to understand.

Normally, a fourth-level card master will be knocked unconscious by the massive amount of information contained in the high-level demon language when he sees the stele, but Darcy has no discomfort at all.

On the contrary, he said that he saw some high-level information that his brain can't remember.

Darcy himself didn't know what he wanted to see, but it seemed that the content on the stone tablet had an inexplicable attraction to him, making him stand in front of the stone tablet for a month.

Ji Xun knew that this might be a special ability of the Light Chaser lineage, and seeing that he was fine, he didn't care much.

On the other side, Isabel had completely digested the [Fire God Fruit].

At this moment, this girl seemed to be the controller of the fire element, and countless fire elements in various forms lingered around her body.

It was visible to the naked eye that her strength had increased dramatically.

And Ji Xun's own changes were also great.

Just now, the [Lava Heart] in his hand had been extracted of the last trace of extraordinary characteristics, and turned into a ball of powder and drifted away with the wind.

"Huh"

Ji Xun opened his eyes from meditation and looked at the trace of ash still left in his palm, his eyes were full of brilliance.

Although it took a month to devour this time, he was very satisfied with the surge in strength.

At this moment, the three basic attributes of strength, agility, and physique on Ji Xun's panel increased by more than 300 points, and have all exceeded the 2900 mark.

After the transformation, it can increase further.

You know, the strength attribute of a general ninth-level pure-blood dragon is about 3000, and Ji Xun's strength is now comparable to that of a humanoid dragon.

In addition, the mana value has also exceeded the 1 million mark, and the mental power has exceeded 1500.

In addition, the skills, toughness, and understanding of the laws of various systems have also increased sharply.

In particular, the affinity and understanding of the laws of the fire element have almost doubled.

But from the data, Ji Xun has transformed from a card master who has just entered the ninth level to the late ninth level.

This is a level that a general ninth-level card master can only reach after countless years of hard work.

The magic secret method of "Feast" allowed him to reach it in just a few months.

Ji Xun was immersed in the joy of his sudden increase in strength, and at the same time, he sighed in his heart: "If I want to have such a big improvement in the future, I'm afraid I can only find various god-level materials."

Feast can only have such a huge increase if it devours materials that are one level higher than itself.

He is now at the ninth level, and higher materials are already hard to come by.

But when the thought came to him, he suddenly laughed at himself and complained that he was a little unsatisfied.

Ji Xun gathered his mind, and suddenly felt something inexplicably in his heart, so he took out a gray photo.

It was [Gray Fog Relic].

Just like when a person grows taller, his vision will be higher.

The same is true for the extraordinary path. Some things at a high level require a high level of physical realm to see.

Ji Xun's strength is now skyrocketing, and he vaguely feels that he seems to have touched something.

The feeling of uncertainty made him feel that he needed some external force to assist him, such as the soul wine of the "Black Rose Tavern".

He happened to have the soul of the Flame Demon in his hand, and he didn't know what kind of wine he could get from the bartender.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun's thoughts explored the gray fog space.

Ji Xun had been to this gray fog world many times, and he walked into the depths of the gray fog with familiarity.

Those residual souls seemed to know him, and they didn't bother themselves.

Not long after, he passed through the fog and followed the orange gas street lights to find the magical Black Rose Tavern.

The tavern was still filled with those old drinkers.

Pig-headed man, dwarf, two-horned demon, six-armed old man, toad monster and bear man

These were fragments of the consciousness of the top strong men in history.

After Ji Xun entered the tavern, these monster drinkers also recognized him and never looked at him differently.

Ji Xun still sat at the bar, facing the door of the tavern.

Although he knew that this was the location of Emperor Lanlingster, he had never seen it again after that time.

He thought it would be okay to sit down.

The bartender looked at him and asked, "What do you want to drink this time?"

Ji Xun was not in a hurry to choose, but asked, "I now have a complete soul of the Flame Demon King. What can I drink?"

This kind of soul wine is not unlimited. He now understands that most people may only be able to bear one kind in their lifetime.

Last time I drank a cup of [Wind Dragon Soul], my body couldn't bear the second cup. Maybe it can now?

Ji Xun himself was not sure, so he simply asked someone who knew about wine.

The bartender took a look at the Flame Demon Soul that Ji Xun took out and praised, "Oh, it's a rare thing."

As he said that, he took out a bottle of black paint that looked like poison from the wine cabinet and introduced it: "This [Demon Tiani] will help you burn the divine fire. Of course, if you drink it, you may also burn your soul to death."

"Divine Fire?"

Ji Xun was also surprised when he heard it.

Is it so big right at the beginning?

Soul wine has this effect?

You should know that condensing the godhood and burning the divine fire are two necessary steps to become a god.

Anyone who can take a step forward is a transgression in status, and from then on enters a higher dimension of life.

But this kind of breakthrough is not so easy.

Just like Qin Rushi's contracted fairy Bai Qiu who has lived for thousands of years, there is little hope to take this last step.

Not to mention that a glass of wine can help burn the divine fire?

So Ji Xun looked at the dark soul wine in front of him, and his expression became complicated for a while.

I saw the correct version in the 16-9 book bar!

First, I was amazed that burning the divine fire could be assisted by external objects. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a great opportunity;

Second, I felt that how could this thing be taken out so casually?

Ji Xun was really not prepared.

It has not been long since he advanced to the ninth level. Although he has touched the fur of the god-level power. But he never blindly thought that he now has the possibility of burning the divine fire.

In fact, he didn't even know what burning the divine fire meant.

Moreover, this wine has a huge side effect. If it doesn't work, you will die on the spot.

With a lot of thoughts in his mind, Ji Xun looked at the bartender and asked tentatively: "Excuse me. If I drink this glass of wine, what is the chance of burning the divine fire?"

The bartender was wiping the transparent glass in his hand and responded casually: "Who knows? About one percent? As I said just now, this wine can only help you, but it can't be a decisive factor."

"."

Ji Xun's eyelids twitched slightly when he heard it.

Sure enough, it's not that good.

In other words, 99% of people will die on the spot?

Maybe more than that.

He really didn't dare to drink it.

He didn't want to.

Ji Xun saw from the bartender's expression that there were probably a lot of ninth-level people who were willing to bet on this one percent chance in the past.

But that was someone else.

Ji Xun felt that if he was trapped in this realm for hundreds of years, he might really want to take a gamble.

But he had just advanced to the ninth level not long ago, so he was not in a hurry at all.

The bartender seemed to see Ji Xun's concerns, and said: "It's hard to find the materials for brewing [Demon Tiani], and this is the last cup. But since you paid, you can also keep it here. Come and drink it next time."

"."

Ji Xun listened and almost hesitated, and was about to say to save the wine.

At this time, he suddenly heard the sound of a carriage rolling over the cobblestone road outside the tavern.

The other drinkers in the tavern suddenly became serious.

Having experienced it once before, Ji Xun knew what it meant, and his expression was startled, and his eyes became expectant.

Sure enough, when the sound got closer and closer, a ghost carriage burning with soul fire stopped in front of the tavern.

The burly coachman, who was shrouded in death, opened the door, and a graceful woman wearing a wide-brimmed hat held the hat with one hand and lifted the hem of her black long skirt with one hand, and stepped down.

It was the witch Lanlingster who had met once!

Ji Xun stood up from his chair. It was his second time meeting the Witch King. He was not as reserved as last time, but he was still polite and saluted with his chest protected.

Witch Lan Lingster saw him at a glance, and a charming smile appeared on her beautiful face, "You have changed a lot."

Ji Xun smiled and pulled open the high stool, and gestured to her to be next to him in a gentlemanly manner: "Senior, long time no see."

Unexpectedly, a hint of intelligence flashed in the beautiful eyes of Witch Lan Lingster, and she chuckled and asked back: "Long time, how long is it?"

While speaking, she gathered her hip-hugging long skirt and sat down on the high stool with an elegant posture.

"This"

Ji Xun was speechless for a moment, and was really embarrassed.

Yes.

How long has it been?

According to the real time, it has been almost two years since he last met this person.

But the time flow rate in this space is not normal.

As the witch Lanlingster said when he came last time, time is relative, and the time flow rate in this gray fog space is not the same as that in the normal world.

It is more like a book. When someone's consciousness turns, the story line in the book will flow.

Ji Xun had asked people like Griffith, Chujiu, Nanjing, and Rennie who had come in before.

The conclusions were that the timeline of each person who came in was different. It was like randomly turning a page of a book, and everyone saw something different.

Ji Xun had come here many times and confirmed this.

And it was the conversation just now that made him feel that the timeline continued.

This is why Ji Xun hesitated.

The question "How long is a long time?" made him realize that this witch Lanlingster seemed to be free from the constraints of time in this gray fog space, and she could appear at the time she wanted to appear.

Seeing Ji Xun fall into silence, the witch Lanlingster smiled between her eyebrows and did not ask any more questions.

She glanced at the black soul wine [Demon Tiani] on the bar counter. Although she did not speak, her smiling curved eyebrows seemed to hide something.

Ji Xun certainly knew that even if he met this person, it was already a great opportunity.

He was not stingy and asked for wine to be served.

The witch Lanlingster emperor also saw through his "little thoughts" and smiled lightly without saying anything.

In front of this emperor, Ji Xun would not pretend to be deep. He did not understand and asked directly: "Senior, if it was you, how would you answer just now?"

He threw the question back.

The witch Lanlingster seemed to find it interesting, covered her mouth and chuckled, but shook her head, as if she thought the question was naive.

She didn't answer, but asked: "Last time I asked you a question, 'Am I alive or dead now?' Do you have an answer now?"

"."

The voice seemed to have magic, and Ji Xun fell into deep thought instantly.

He thought of the last time he went to Safir Manor and saw Song Yu in the long river of time.

According to his timeline, Song Yu had passed away, and he only saw the girl in the past.

But at the previous time point, Song Yu was clearly alive, not a photo, not an image, not anything else. She was a living person!

Ji Xun felt that his perception of time in his mind was chaotic.

It was as if the soul was sublimated and gradually left the body.

Then he saw himself thinking hard at the bar from the perspective of a "third person".

Ji Xun couldn't describe what the feeling of soul elevation was.

But it was like a reader turned a page of a book, the sight stopped, and the world stopped.

Everything in the whole tavern in front of him was still.

But in this state of "everything is still", one day people were completely unrestricted.

That beautiful face seemed to be surprised that Ji Xun could enter this state all of a sudden. She tilted her head to look at the "Ji Xun consciousness" in the sky, dimples slightly sunken, charming smile, and red lips slightly opened: "Time is like a river. When you learn to observe, you stand outside the river. Instead of being swept away by the flood and drifting with the flow"

"Time is like a river."

Ji Xun looked at the tempting red lips, as if drunk, his eyes became blurred.

The gentle voice beside his ear, like a magical guiding spell, led his thoughts to a very high altitude.

Ji Xun felt that his consciousness was getting lighter and lighter, flying out of the tavern, through the fog, and higher and higher.

It was like taking off from the ground, then passing through the dark cloud atmosphere, and coming to outer space.

This is a foggy chaos.

"Human thinking cannot perceive things beyond its own cognition. You cannot perceive the full picture of time in time."

"Only by becoming an observer can you see the full picture of truth."

"The soul is more like the root of a plant. It is in a place we cannot see. To glimpse the truth, you must first realize that the more your soul yearns for the sunlight above, the more its roots will extend into the dark underground."

"."

Ji Xun felt that his consciousness had become blurred.

He did not know whether the voice coming from the sea of ​​consciousness was the teaching of the great emperor, or the secret method of "My heart is the universe" that he had seen on the forbidden ruins stele.

At this moment, Ji Xun's consciousness fell into a kind of "observer".

He saw everything in the universe.

But he himself was not in the universe.

But he was higher than the "high-dimensional observer" who saw the universe.

Ji Xun himself did not know that this was the world of his consciousness.

For a long, long time.

It was so long that it seemed like billions of years had passed.

It was a chaotic world of consciousness.

There was nothing, not even "nothing".

Suddenly!

At the moment of entering a certain node, the vision suddenly became clear.

Suddenly, a ray of light appeared in the universe, and the light exploded, and the universe expanded rapidly.

Billions of years passed in the blink of an eye, and the rapidly expanding universe had turned into a dazzling galaxy.

What Ji Xun didn't know was that Qidi had already flickered into a piece.

"You have some insights, and your proficiency in the secret method of 'My Heart is the Universe' has increased by +3331"

"You have some insights, and your proficiency in 'My Heart is the Universe' has increased by +5112"

"You have some realization, the level of 'My Heart is the Universe' has been increased by Lv7"

"You have some realization, the level of 'My Heart is the Universe' has been increased by Lv8"

"You have touched the secret of the divine fire."

In that state, time seemed to have no meaning.

Ji Xun didn't know where he was, as if everything in the universe was himself.

He seemed to have turned into the ray of light that exploded in the universe, and kept moving towards the distant fog.

He seemed to have lost himself.

Who am I?

Where am I?

Where did I come from and where am I going?

He didn't know where he was going, and his consciousness was no longer controlled by consciousness.

Suddenly, the familiar and gentle voice came again in his ears: "The universe you see is nothing more than an image projected by consciousness. Through projection, looking back at the world, that is the truth."

In an instant, the infinitely expanding universe collapsed rapidly and returned to the origin.

Ji Xun's eyes suddenly focused, as if awakened from a dream!

Ji Xun looked at the gradually clear picture in front of him and realized that he seemed to have grasped something incredible.

The soul wine on the table was empty, and the bar was covered with dust.

It seemed like countless years had passed.

The brightly lit Black Rose Tavern had also become dilapidated. The drinkers had long disappeared, leaving only a pile of broken tables and chairs eroded by time.

But before he could digest the shock in his mind, Ji Xun saw the witch Lanlingster in front of him and said in shock: "Senior. You."

The black-dressed woman in front of him could no longer see her beautiful face. There was only a gray mist, and her graceful figure could be seen faintly.

Ji Xun could not even recall the appearance of the witch emperor. There was only a gentle farewell in his ear: "Thank you for inviting me to drink~ but we will not see each other again. It's nice to see you. It's also nice to meet this world~"

As if saying the last goodbye to the world, the colorful black collapsed in front of him.

Ji Xun was speechless for a moment.

He realized that the witch emperor had just said goodbye to him,

but before he could say the thousands of retentions in his heart.

Looking again, the gray fog in the field of vision has completely dispersed, and the [Gray Fog Remains] in his hand has become clear.

It was a clown with scars all over his body. At the last moment of his life, he took a selfie in front of the camera, leaving behind that bright smile.

This is the true face of the King of Cards Joker.

It is the formless, the multi-form.

Even in the last moment of his life, He still gave the world a bright smile.

That smile seemed to mock the hypocrisy of the gods, the incompetence of the god of death, and also the greed and cowardice of human nature.

It seemed to say again: I have been to this world.

Like looking in the mirror, Ji Xun saw himself.

At this moment, I am JOKER.
