Chapter 188 Inauguration, [Greedy Monarch]

Lian has been thinking about a question all along.

Compared with the conventional path, is there any essential difference between the "Original Sin Path" as a hidden path, in addition to the more difficult employment conditions?

This question seems unimportant, but it will deeply affect his career path.

And now, he has begun to feel it.

Comparing the Original Sin Path and the Pirate Path, it can be clearly seen that the former tends to be idealistic, while the latter is more materialistic.

This seems to be a bit general. Figuratively speaking, the employment requirements of the Pirate Path require you to make it clear, while the Original Sin Path requires you to think from the bottom of your heart, that is, you do not need the approval of others.

This point is not so obvious at the first and second levels, but when it comes to the promotion to the third level, it shows a strong difference.

Of course, idealism is not wanton.

It is easy to deceive others in this world, but it is the most difficult to deceive your own heart.

Ryan's eyes were filled with bright blue light, and before the third-level promotion ceremony was about to begin, he took out a dark crystal.

This is, [Immortal Crystal].

To be precise, it is [Immortal Crystal (Refined)].

After killing the Deep Sea Diver, Ryan did not notice that the dissipated power of authority was integrated into this crystal, helping it to complete the refinement.

——

[Immortal Crystal (Refined)]: It is refined from the essence of monster flesh and blood containing a large amount of residual power of the Sea God. After use, it can extend life by 50 years, and the spiritual limit +2.0 (the spiritual enhancement effect is invalid if it exceeds the fourth level). This thing is only effective for the first time.

ps: "Life" and "immortality" cannot be equated. It seems that there is an infinite resurrection, but in fact there is also a price in the dark.

——

Without hesitation, Ryan threw [Immortal Crystal (Refined)] into his mouth.

The surging vitality flows in the body, and all the cells in the body seem to be immersed in a hot spring, warm and comfortable.

The essence from "immortality" makes Ryan's vitality more and more vigorous.

[Use [Immortal Crystal (Refined)], lifespan +50, spiritual limit +2.0, current spiritual limit: 30.0]

The use of [Immortal Crystal (Refined)] is just a small episode, and the prompt on the panel continues to pop up in front of Ryan after a brief pause.

——

[Spiritual sublimation... undergoing 'promotion baptism'...]

[Current [spirituality] is 30.0... 'promotion baptism' completed! ]

[[Spiritual] limit +30.0! Current [spirituality]: 60.0]

[[Apostle of Joy (Level 2)] promoted to [Greedy Monarch (Level 3)]! ]

[Professional bonus: Spirituality +10.0, Physical +10.0]

[Occupational skills: Greedy Grip, Satisfied Throne, Feast]

1. [Greedy Grip]:

Exclusive skills of Greedy Monarch.

I crave for more than what I have, so I want to seize everything from the enemy.

A [Greedy Hand] made of greedy spirits will hold the enemy in its palm and apply the "Greedy Mark" for S seconds. When the "Greedy Mark" takes effect, the enemy's all attributes will immediately decrease by (S/10)%, and the Greedy Monarch's all attributes will immediately increase by (S/10)%.

Afterwards, the enemy's all attributes will continue to decrease, down to (S/5)%, while the Greedy Monarch's all attributes will increase in the same proportion, up to (S/5)%.

This state has a very high priority and cannot be removed unless the user's "Purification" ability exceeds level 3. Even if it is removed, it will cause a "Greedy Gnawing" on the enemy, forcing all its attributes to decrease by 10% for S seconds.

(The value of S depends on the user's rank and spirit. The specific conversion formula is rank*10+spirituality*1. For example, for a Greedy Monarch of level 3 with a spirit of 60, the value of S is 3*10+60*1=90).

——

2. [Satisfied Throne]:

Exclusive skill of the Greedy Monarch.

As a monarch, how can you not have a throne? When the desire for greed is satisfied, you can build a throne that belongs to Satisfied.

Every time you defeat an enemy with the "Mark of Greed", the professional fit can be improved. The specific value depends on the strength of the enemy (based on the current strength of the Greedy Monarch, the minimum must not be lower than the fourth level.)

For every 25% of the Satisfied Throne built, you can get a throne reward.

After the Satisfied Throne is successfully built, you can try to upgrade your rank.

——

3. [Feast]:

Exclusive skill of the Greedy Monarch.

Come on, this is a greedy feast!

The Greedy Monarch can actively activate [Feast] to put himself into the "Original Sin Shelter" state. During this period, he cannot be selected or attacked for S/30 seconds, and all enemies on the field with the "Mark of Greed" will have a large amount of vitality and spirituality taken away to replenish the vitality and spirituality lost by the Greedy Monarch.

——

Powerful power surged within his body, and Ryan's pupils glowed with bright blue.

That is one of the original sins, the representative color of its name [Greed].

Outside the invincible shield, the expression of leader Tianqing was slightly moved, but then he regained his ferocious look: "So what if you are promoted to the third level? But the spirituality of the fourth level limit is no different from an ant in my eyes."

The upper limit of the spirituality of a fourth-level professional is 100. Although Ryan's [Spirituality] has improved a lot after being promoted to the third level, the upper limit of the blessing of [Tide of Pain] is only 100. Therefore, his current [Spirituality] is only 100, unable to Arriving at the fifth level realm.

The duration of the invincible shield was coming to an end, and tiny ripples appeared. Ryan raised his head slightly, his eyes indifferent: "It's enough to defeat you."

"Ah……"

Leader Tian Qing sneered, and blood surged on the Bone Abyss sword in his hand.

When the shield disappeared, the long sword in his hand suddenly slashed out, followed by countless bloody wind blades, dragging out three huge bloody ring blades, upper, middle and lower.

The power of this move is no less powerful than the previous 100-meter bloody blade strike that dropped from the sky.

But this time, Ryan did not choose to dodge.

Bright blue light bloomed in his eyes, and a bright blue energy giant hand that was more than ten meters long and looked like glass suddenly appeared, grabbing Tian Qing's head tightly.

——[Hand of Greed]

The release and hit of [Hand of Greed] happened almost at the same time. When Leader Tianqing saw [Hand of Greed], he was already grasped by it.

The sudden attack made Leader Tianqing's heart skip a beat, but before he could break free, the bright blue energy giant hand dissipated on its own first, and it seemed like it had never appeared before, which was puzzling.

The first thought of the leader Tian Qing, who was experienced in fighting, was to scan his body and true spirit with his spirituality, and at the same time forcibly stopped the sword energy that was being slashed out - this kind of inexplicable and seemingly harmless attack was often used as a Fatal, it may be some kind of anti-injury curse, or a fate-same curse.

But this inspection made Leader Tianqing's doubts deepen.

No, nothing!

In his spiritual perception, his physical body and true spirit are extremely normal.

Could it be that the bright blue energy giant hand just now was really just a cover? A feint to scare him?

This speculation came to mind, but the next moment, Leader Tianqing's expression changed.

His aura and spiritual fluctuations suddenly dropped, and continued to decline as time went by. No matter how he mobilized the legendary spiritual resistance, it was of no avail.

It’s the bright blue energy giant hand just now!

Leader Tianqing was shocked and angry. Looking at the swordsman wearing a purple mask not far away, a hint of uneasiness suddenly appeared in his heart.

Something was wrong, very wrong.

In his hundreds of years of life, Leader Tianqing thought he knew most of the professional abilities of the Twelve Paths, but he had never even heard of such weird abilities, let alone seeing them.

With a third-level body, he casts a "curse" that surpasses his two major levels and cannot be resisted by even legends...

Who is the person in front of me? !

On the other side, Ryan felt the power emerging and getting stronger in his body, and the momentum around him further surged.

With the blessing of [Hand of Greed], his [Spiritual] and [Physical] further improved, both crossing the 100-point mark, officially entering the realm of "Legendary".

Although it is only the lowest level "legend", which is what the world calls "weak legend", it is not something that fourth-level professionals can match.

Feeling the falling power in his body, leader Tianqing's eyes flashed with a stern look.

If he continues to fall like this, he will almost fall out of the realm of "Senior Legend". There is only one plan for now, and that is to solve the source of the curse, the weird one named "Purple Wind", before he falls. Swordsman!

With this thought in mind, Tianqing leader moved.

His body disappeared instantly, and a line of blood cut through the sky. In an instant, he arrived in front of Ryan.

The long sword of the bone abyss slashed horizontally, and layers of bloody long sword phantoms overlapped on the blade as the long sword was swung, causing the power of its slashing to increase step by step during the swing.

It looks like an ordinary sword, but it is actually very powerful. It is the strongest blow so far in the battle!

Leader Tianqing, who had fought against Zifeng, knew very well that Ryan had some kind of insurmountable ability to retaliate, and once he was attacked a certain number of times, a terrifying burst of damage would occur.

In this case, tentative attacks are meaningless and will injure oneself instead. Facing this kind of enemy, one must complete the battle in one blow. Every blow is a powerful slash. Holding a sword and The mentality of getting it over with!

The strong sense of crisis in his heart made Ryan realize the terrifying power of this sword, but his eyes were still indifferent, and he just raised his long sword calmly to block.

Under the effect of [Hand of Greed], the attributes of Tianqing Leader were reduced, while Ryan's attributes were increased. The reduction and increase made the slash of Tianqing Leader still astonishingly fast in his eyes, but no longer as fast as before.

Reflecting Ryan's action of raising his sword to try to block, a trace of mockery flashed in the depths of Tianqing Leader's eyes, and then the Haiyuan Long Sword in his hand exerted further force.

The blood-colored sword slashed down, but when it touched the big sword, it missed.

Tianqing Leader's eyes were filled with astonishment, but he saw Zifeng in front of him, his body, weapons, armor, etc. all turned into a semi-illusory bright blue.

Not a phantom?

When Haiyuan Long Sword fell into the air, Tianqing Leader felt a sudden pain in his body, and then his vitality and spirituality plummeted at the same time.

"Damn it!"

The face of Tianqing leader was extremely ugly. He slashed with the long sword in his hand, but still missed. It was as if Zifeng in front of him was in a different space from him. He could see it but couldn't touch it.

What kind of ability is this?

The power in his body was still leaking, causing Tianqing leader to fall to the level of "senior legend". Fortunately, at this time, the loss of power stopped.

Tianqing leader pulled back, raised the Haiyuan long sword in his hand, and began to accumulate power.

He judged that the "invincible skill" used by Zifeng now must have a time limit. Instead of wasting energy to attack, it is better to accumulate power and wait until Zifeng exits the "invincible state" before bursting out the strongest attack.

On the other side, Ryan was immersed in the wonder he had never felt before.

[尰yan]'s "cannot be selected, cannot be attacked" is more magical than he imagined. Unlike invincibility, it is more like pulling his whole person into a dimension different from the present world, so as to avoid harm.

Not only that, the connection from the "Mark of Greed" allows him to grab the vitality and spirituality of the Azure Leader even in this special dimension to replenish himself.

What surprised Ryan even more was that in this special dimension, he could charge as he pleased.

It can be said that [尰夜] is a magical skill that combines invincibility, recovery, and creating attack opportunities!

With the great sword raised and carried on his shoulders, Ryan charged on the spot.

Thanks to the protection of [尰yan], the Azure Leader could not affect his charging at all.

In the special dimension, Ryan was charging the great sword, and in the real world, the Azure Leader raised his long sword and also charged, and the scene fell into a strange and tense atmosphere.

"Thum~thum~thum-thum!"

Without anyone's influence, Ryan's great sword charged very quickly, and the "three-stage charging" connected with the "real charging" in one go.

After completing the "True Power Accumulation", Ryan did not stop his movements, but continued to accumulate power.

He had already inherited the third sword skill of Storm Swordsmanship - God Splitting, but he had never been able to perform it because of his substandard basic attributes.

Now, with the promotion of his rank and the blessing of his skills, his [Spirituality] and [Physicality] finally reached the minimum requirement of 100 points, and he could try to perform this extremely powerful sword skill.

The extremely condensed spirituality and power began to compress further in his body, and his whole body, as if it was under an ultra-high pressure furnace, began to emit rich white steam.

Time passed, ripples arose, and the [Feast] time ended. Ryan's body returned to the present world, and the Tianqing leader, who had been prepared for a long time, slashed the long sword in his hand from top to bottom without hesitation.

The 100-meter blood-colored circular sword energy split the earth, as if it was going to split the space in two. The extremely sharp sword energy formed a series of criss-crossing sword marks on the surrounding ruins.

"Ding——"

A light bell sounded, accompanied by invisible ripples that spread to hundreds of meters in radius. Ryan slowly raised his head. At this moment, time seemed to freeze in his eyes.

The powerful sword energy slashed out by the Tianqing leader was like a slow-motion movie in his perception, passing by frame by frame.

Compression, compression, and compression again, finally after reaching the limit, he entered a new realm.

"Ha!"

Ryan shouted, and the "transparent field" covering hundreds of meters around began to shrink.

Every time the field shrinks, the uncovered area will restore its original "dynamics". When the field is completely condensed on Ryan's body surface, the outside world returns to normal.

The highly concentrated spirituality ignites the blue-green flame on Ryan's body, just like the figure of the leader he saw in the [Inheritance Crystal] in the past.

The big sword slashed out, and the dazzling blue light, mixed with blue and blood, bloomed together.

During this process, the strong green light extended on the sword, gradually forming a giant sword that was over 100 meters long and was still growing, while the blue flame and blood flame jumped on the sword, like a dancing fire dragon.

The 100-meter blood-colored ring blade was split into two by the slash of the blue giant sword. The shock wave carried countless gravel and set off a rolling dust tide, while the blue giant sword moved forward all the way, and finally reached a length of 300 meters, and slashed heavily on the body of the Tianqing leader.

The giant sword was reflected in his pupils, and the eyes of the Tianqing leader showed a complex color of confusion, shock and fear. He roared unwillingly, holding the Haiyuan long sword tightly with both hands, and raised it to try to resist.

However, the power of this sword far exceeded his expectations.

"Boom!"

The earth rumbled, and the blue light replaced the moonlight at this moment, becoming the only color on the sky.

The legendary swordsmanship that had been lost for hundreds of years and that the first king of Augustus used to unify the kingdom reappeared in the world today!

The blue light dimmed with the passage of time. At the center of the battlefield, there were no ruins at this moment, only a terrible chasm that stretched back thousands of meters and was unknown how deep it was!

"Huff... Huff..."

Ryan half-knelt on the ground, panting violently.

At this moment, his physical strength and spirituality were all gone. His physical strength was recovering rapidly under the effect of special skills, but his spirituality did not have this treatment.

The exhausted spirituality made Ryan's spirit extremely tired, and there was a faint double image in his vision.

The power of the third sword skill of Storm Swordsmanship - God Splitting, even Ryan, as the performer, was extremely shocked.

Of course, while the power is strong, the price is also extremely high.

The use of the third sword skill of Storm Sword Art - God Splitting, in addition to draining Ryan's physical strength and spirituality, also requires the consumption of the power of the storm traveling between heaven and earth, which means that Ryan can only use this move once in battle.

As a sword art that can only be used by legendary professionals, the "Storm Power" required for "God Splitting" actually requires the cooperation of the legendary field to show the greatest power and the possibility of multiple uses.

Although Ryan was lucky to use it this time, at best, it was just a beggar's version.

"Whoosh... Whoosh..."

The blood-colored wind was flowing, and under Ryan's gaze, countless blood drops quickly gathered together above the gap cut by the blue giant sword, forming a human-shaped body.

"... How could I... lose?"

"... I have some of the power of the sea god... I can be resurrected infinitely..."

"... Can you kill me once... and kill me countless times..."

The overlapping voices, as if thousands of people were shouting together, resounded through the sky.

The aggregated flesh and blood twisted and squirmed, forming the hideous and terrifying face of the sky blue leader.

Ryan stood up with the sword, looking at the body of the Tianqing leader who had recovered, and just said indifferently: "Explode!"

The dark purple light spread on the flesh and blood body, and the dazzling brilliance burst out.

The body that the Tianqing leader had just condensed exploded again, but under the influence of an invisible force, it gathered together again and tried to continue to revive.

"...I am...an immortal...a god who lives forever!"

The roar of the Tianqing leader swept all around.

At this time, a shadow holding a sickle and wearing a tattered hooded robe appeared behind his reassembled body.

As Ryan was promoted to the third level, the image of the sickle owner underwent some subtle changes, and it seemed to become more agile.

The sickle wrapped in gray light flashed from the body of the Tianqing leader, and then the sickle and its owner disappeared together.

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, the voice of the Tianqing leader stopped abruptly, and he lowered his head blankly and looked at his chest.

Unconsciously, his flesh and blood body turned translucent, and the dark "Heart of God" emerged from it, and the cracks on the surface of the "Heart of God" were clearly visible.

"No... No... I clearly got the authority of the gods... I clearly have a body full of vitality..."

"... The realm of demigods, there is no threshold in my eyes... I will eventually ascend to this supreme realm... step into the realm of gods..."

"... Just... Just a third-level... I... I..."

"... I am unwilling... Where..."

Silently, the Heart of God shattered into countless points of light, and the light in the eyes of the Tianqing leader also completely dissipated at this moment.

The legendary sword leader who ruled Tianqing for hundreds of years, and the alliance of various countries to rule the land and domineeringly signed a non-interference agreement, ushered in the final end today.

The faint moonlight fell and flowed on the body that fell to the ground.

Silent, speechless.

——The leader of Tianqing has been killed!
