Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 538: Oath Set [7.8k words]

The next day.

[Tip: Upgrade completed, "White God Defense (Light Gold)" has been promoted to "White God Defense (Legendary)"]

[Tip: Upgrade completed, "Transcendence Top +12 (Gold)" has been promoted to "Transcendence Top +5 (Legendary)"]

...

...

[Tip: Upgrade completed, "Ghost Scale Sky Feather +13 (Legendary)" has been promoted to "Ghost Scale Sky Feather (Epic)"]

When Xin Lailai opened his eyes again, the first thing he saw was the five prompt messages that popped up at once on the branding interface, and the maze scene was still pitch black.

"Huh...has it been five hours?"

Xin Lailai glanced at the time on the branding interface, stood up from the floor, moved his joints slightly, stretched his body refreshed, and let out a long sigh.

This was the first time he had rested so comfortably since encountering the space storm. Although it was not as good as sleeping in the exclusive room, for them at the moment, it was already an extremely luxurious experience.

Then, Xin Lailai walked to the Abyss Suppression Device, pressed two buttons skillfully, and checked the information that popped up on the screen:

[Abyss Suppression Device Remaining Energy: 30%]

[The current remaining number of world sources: 123.6%]

"There's only 30% left..."

Xin Lailai looked at the numbers displayed on the screen, lowered his eyes slightly, thought for a while, clicked on the "+" sign behind the abyss suppression device several times, and finally pressed the confirmation button.

[Tip: Charging completed, current remaining energy value: 70%]

Although we are not sure what exact level they are on now, based on the drop rate of treasure chests along the way and the changes in the strength of the abyss derivatives, they are most likely around the 40th to 50th floor. If they climb up layer by layer without causing large-scale damage to the terrain, considering the hindrance to movement caused by the narrowing of the terrain, it is conservatively estimated that they will need about 15 to 20 hours to reach the exit, which means at least 45% to 60% of the Source of the World is consumed.

"It's a pity that this place can't sell items, otherwise it would be much more convenient."

Xin Lailai glanced at the large amount of World Tree output in his storage space and rubbed his temples gently.

They are now located outside the management area of ​​the Sanctuary Park. Apart from some of the most basic branding functions, other functions such as communication, item sales, cross-border transmission, etc., which require "networking" with the park to be realized, are all in an unusable state.

If there were no such restriction, he could now sell some of the World Tree's products that he had stockpiled, and even sell the World Tree's fruits when necessary. In this way, he would not have to worry about not having enough World Source.

But unfortunately, there are not so many ifs in the world. Or if the power of Paradise could really interfere directly with the interior of the Abyss Erosion Zone, then the Star Realm would not have to allow nearly 1/3 of its area to be lost in the abyss.

After checking the abyss suppression device, Xin Lailai glanced at Bell who was still asleep and Ling Yuzi who had not woken up in the soul space. He did not disturb the two people's rest, but moved a chair and sat down, and took out a set of white arm armor and leg armor engraved with gorgeous patterns from the storage space:
……

【Shirakami Defense】

Origin: Is it wrong to seek encounters in a dungeon?
Quality: legendary
Durability: 120/120 (increased by 60 points)
Defense: 60 (increased by 10 points)
Category: protective gear

Equipment requirements: Strength and physical attributes not less than 80 points

Equipment Effect 1, Defense (Passive): When performing blocking actions, you gain the "Defense" effect when defending, and the defense performance is increased by 20 points (increased by 10 points).

装备效果2，神庇（被动）：如触发「守御」后的0.15秒内遭受到攻击（提升0.05秒），则接下来15秒内「守御」的效果翻倍（提升5秒）。

If the "Defense" enhancement effect is triggered again during the duration, the duration will be refreshed and the next time you block, you will gain a 30-point strength correction (increase by 20 points).

Equipment Effect 3, White Boundary (Passive): After successfully triggering "Divine Protection" three times in a row, a 30-second "White Boundary" can be formed. During the existence of the "White Boundary", all blocking actions can briefly mobilize the body's protective energy, forming a "range block" judgment lasting 0.1 seconds.

If you successfully block an attack during the duration of the "Range Block" judgment, the duration of the "White Barrier" will be refreshed immediately. If the "Range Block" judgment fails, the duration of the "White Barrier" will end immediately (new!!).

*Tip: Defense performance is a comprehensive defense strength indicator, including knockback resistance, blocking strength, toughness, etc., which are the attributes that determine defense strength.

*Tip: The normal strength correction value is an additional value of the strength attribute. When the pioneer breaks the real barrier of the strength attribute, it will be converted into the real strength correction value at a ratio of 5:1.

*Tip: Range block judgment can produce a whole-body block judgment effect, but the judgment area other than the main area does not enjoy the weapon block correction bonus, and the block strength is only related to the body protection energy strength.

Rating: 500
Introduction: What kind of strong body is needed to withstand a blow that can shatter a continent?
……

After simply scanning the new equipment effects of the legendary [White God Defense], Xin Lailai instantly realized that she had hit the jackpot this time. Just based on the "range blocking" effect, the [White God Defense] in front of her is enough to be treated as a treasure by any technical contractor, not to mention the 40 points of defense performance and the 30 points of ordinary strength correction value.

You should know that this is a full 30 points of strength attribute correction. If converted according to the real attribute, it is equivalent to a full 6 points of real strength attribute correction value. This means that when he blocks with 80 points of strength attribute, he can directly get a basic blocking strength equivalent to 86 points of real strength attribute. At that time, combined with the 40 points of defense performance enhancement and the "range blocking" effect after the [White God Defense] is fully stacked, his blocking strength can be directly increased by at least 90%.

If before he got this equipment, he could only desperately use attacks to resist the attacks of Ji Ren Yuan Ying and did not dare to do pure blocking at all, then after getting this equipment, although he could not directly block all of Ji Ren Yuan Ying's attacks, but at least he would not fall into the desperate situation where he had to use 200% or even 300% of the sword power to strengthen his own attacks in order to block the opponent's flat attack. As long as he dared to use blocking instead of attacking, his block would be blasted away in an instant, without even a chance to breathe.

——In any case, choosing to upgrade the White God's Defense to the legendary level was the right move.

[Hint: Already equipped with "White God Defense (Legendary Armor)"]

Xin Lailai looked at the pure white arm armor and leg armor in his hand, put them on and equipped them to the equipment bar, took a deep breath, and continued to take out another thing from the storage space:
……

[Dark Scales and Sky Feathers]

Place of Origin: Sanctuary Paradise

Quality: Epic
Category: Cloak

Durability: 120/120 (increased by 40 points)
Sharpness: 30 (increased by 20 points)
Defense: 60 (increased by 20 points)
Space energy: 0/2000 (increased by 1000 points)
Equipment requirements: True agility and physical strength no less than 90 points, physical defense no less than 60 points

Equipment Effect 1, Ghost Feather (Passive): Can freely switch between [Ghost Scale] and [Empty Feather] states. In [Ghost Scale] form, the equipment's defense is increased to 75 points (increased by 15 points), sharpness is increased to 45 points (increased by 15 points), spell resistance and armor resistance are increased by 35 points (increased by 15 points).

The speed of absorbing space energy during the entire period of wearing the equipment is greatly improved (new!!), and the durability can be restored at a moderate speed by absorbing life energy and space energy (recovery speed is improved).

Equipment Effect 2, Airspace (Passive): When in the [Air Feather] state, the equipment can fly with a maximum flight speed of 600m/s (increased by 250m/s).

When flying, it can generate an [Airspace Barrier] with an initial strength of 50 points (increased by 20 points), greatly reducing flight resistance, blocking flying objects, and continuously improving the strength of the [Airspace Barrier], up to a maximum of 100 points (increased by 40 points).

When the accumulated space energy is greater than 100 points, 1 point of durability will be consumed immediately to enter the [Space Shuttle] state. During the duration of the "Space Shuttle" state, 0.1 points of space energy will be consumed every 100 seconds.

And within 100 seconds after each "Space Shuttle" state ends, you can consume an additional 1 point of durability to enter the "Space Shuttle" state again. After entering the "Space Shuttle" state 10 times in a row or the "Space Energy" is exhausted, it will enter a cooling time ranging from 100 to 10000 seconds (new!!).

Equipment Effect 3, Severance (Core Active): When the space energy accumulates to more than 1000 points and is in the [Ghost Scale] form, it can immediately consume 10 durability points, release all space energy, and form a [Severance Field] (newly added!!) with a radius of 100~1000 meters that lasts for 10~1 minutes. All units in the field will be affected by the fifth-level "space blockade" effect (blockade level +1), with a cooldown time of 10 days.

Equipment Effect 4, Absolute Sky (Core Active): When in the "Broken Realm" and in the "Sky Feather" form, the space energy recovery speed is +1000%, and when the space energy is fully restored, you can immediately consume 1000 points of "space energy" and 10 points of durability to reverse the "Broken Realm" to the "Absolute Sky Realm". When released, the "Space Shuttle" cooldown time will be immediately cleared, and when in the range of the "Absolute Sky Realm", "Space Shuttle" will temporarily enter the "no cooldown" state, and the cooldown time is 10 days (new!!).

Permanent buff effect 1: Gem amplification...

First hole: ethereal gem (broken)
Rating: 620
Introduction: Spread your wings, soar, break through the shackles of the dark night, and never stop until you die!

……

Qualitative change.

This was the first thought that came to Xin Lailai's mind after reading the entire description of the equipment in front of him.

Compared with the epic-quality [Ghost Scale Sky Feather] in front of him, he even had the illusion that the legendary-quality [Ghost Scale Sky Feather] he had used before was actually a defective product. After all, the difference in strength between the two was too huge, so huge that it was even a little abnormal.

After all, logically speaking, although the leap from legendary equipment to epic equipment is huge, that is when there is a difference of an entire level, that is, the difference is when comparing a 500-point legendary equipment with a 700-point epic equipment. For an item like [Ghost Scale Sky Feather], which is promoted from 500+ to 620 points, it should only be a 60%~80% increase in the original basic effect, rather than a qualitative improvement of directly adding a new equipment effect.

Is it because of pure luck?
It is possible, but very low.

Xin Lailai admitted that his luck was indeed very high, but he knew better that there was no such thing as good luck that came out of thin air.

The premise of all good luck is based on the fact that the lucky person himself has the foundation to realize this "good luck", just like when Shan Xi helped him to open the basic passive. The premise for achieving this is that the treasure chests he provided must really have the possibility of opening the basic passive. Otherwise, no matter how good the luck is, it is impossible to get the basic passive out of a treasure chest out of thin air.

"Could it be..."

Xin Lailai looked at the equipment introduction of [Dark Scale Sky Feather] and a vague guess emerged in her mind.

——Perhaps, the [Dark Scale Sky Feather] in front of us is what this equipment should look like.

The feather of the Sky Demon Bird that he asked the rag-and-bone boss to make was obtained from the Honor Store in the Paradise with 5 gold medals of honor. It was a standard rare material of epic quality. However, he used this epic material, plus some [Dust Crystals] and [Sealing Stones (Level )] with spatial properties, to upgrade a [Iron Scale Sky Feather] of gold quality. No matter how you look at it, it was obviously too extravagant.

Combined with the fact that when Boss Rags gave him the [Ghost Scale Sky Feather], he clearly said that this equipment could be further improved, Xin Lailai couldn't help but suspect that in fact [Ghost Scale Sky Feather] should have been forged into an epic equipment, but Boss Rags, in order to take care of his rank and needs, forcibly suppressed the quality of this equipment to the legendary range, causing the power of the Sky Demon Bird feather to be severely suppressed at the time. It was not until he upgraded [Ghost Scale Sky Feather] to epic quality that he completely released it, allowing [Ghost Scale Sky Feather] to usher in this unreasonable qualitative leap.

"In the end, it was me who ended up making things worse?"

Xin Lailai looked at the equipment effect in front of him and smiled helplessly. When he realized the root cause of the qualitative change of [Ghost Scale Sky Feather], he immediately realized that the scrap metal at that time should have wanted to wait until he collected more materials to help him upgrade [Ghost Scale Sky Feather] to the top epic equipment in one go. As a result, he directly used [Miracle of the Gods] to upgrade [Ghost Scale Sky Feather]. It can be said that all the hard work of the scrap metal at that time was wasted.

In other words, the rubbish probably never imagined that there would actually be someone who would find a way to upgrade his main equipment to the epic level when he was at the second level. After all, logically speaking, even the epic equipment of the worst quality could not be met by a second-level contractor.

Just like now, although [Ghost Scale Sky Feather] has been promoted to the epic level, its current attributes cannot meet the requirements of 90 points of real agility and real physical strength. Even if the bonuses of the original [Transcendence Set], [Winged Gem (left)] and "Boundary Removal" are all taken into account, it is still short of 3 points of real attributes.

Fortunately, Xin Lailai had already considered this.

[Tip: It has been detected that the "Transcendence Suit" held by the Pioneer has been upgraded to legendary quality. According to the characteristics of this suit, the Pioneer can re-activate the "Adaptive Activation", and the specific direction of this "Adaptive Activation" can be chosen by the Pioneer himself! ]

A cold reminder sounded in Xin Lailai's mind. When Xin Lailai took out the three-piece set of Transcendence from the storage space, the first thing that popped up was not the equipment effect, but a reminder sound asking whether to perform "adaptive activation".

"confirm."

Xin Lailai agreed without any hesitation, and there was no fluctuation in her expression, as if she had expected this scene.

In fact, Xin Lailai had long known what the process would be like after the Transcendence Suit was upgraded. After all, this thing was recognized as a "uniform" within the Pioneer, and all the information about it was clearly written in the Pioneer's database, such as how much the enhancement level would drop after each quality upgrade, and what the options were based on when the adaptability was activated... etc. All of this was clearly written in the information in the database.

For example, if it is +12, the upgrade from dark purple to light gold will drop to +10, the upgrade from light gold to gold will drop to +8, and the upgrade from gold to legendary will drop to +5. For example, if the +12 enhancement effect has a hegemony effect, then there will be an additional "hegemony" option in the adaptive activation. If gems are inlaid, there will be an additional "gem gain" option, and so on.

As a top-level suit that every pioneer has, these things can be said to have been clearly understood by past pioneers a long time ago. This is one of the reasons why Xin Lailai dared to upgrade [Ghost Scale Sky Feather] to epic quality. As long as a proper portion of the "adaptation points" is allocated to attribute bonuses, theoretically speaking, as long as [Ghost Scale Sky Feather] is not too outrageous, he can stick to the extreme attributes and wear it during the "boundary release" state.

Of course, if the final equipment requirement of [Ghost Scale Sky Feather] is too high, then he can only accept his fate. After all, there is an element of gambling in promoting the legendary [Ghost Scale Sky Feather] to the epic level. In the final analysis, if the legendary [Ghost Scale Sky Feather] was not damaged too badly and there was no way it could be restored to sufficient durability for normal use before his world source was exhausted, Xin Lailai would never have used such important equipment to gamble on the wearing needs after the promotion.

[Reminder: You have entered the "Adaptive Activation" process. Since this promotion is a Legendary promotion, Pioneers can allocate points from the following characteristics. The allocation result will determine the specific effect of this "Adaptive Activation"]

[Currently selectable features list] A. Basic attribute gain (0/50)

B. Survival characteristics enhancement (0/50)

C. Damage characteristic enhancement (0/50)

D. Technique characteristic enhancement (0/50)

E. Magic characteristic enhancement (0/50)

F. Soul characteristic enhancement (0/50)

G. Enhanced Hegemony Characteristics (0/50)

H. Balance characteristics enhancement (0/50)

I. Alchemical characteristic enhancement (0/50)

J. Rune characteristic enhancement (0/50)

*Currently available points: 100 points

*Currently recommended distribution characteristics: Survival, Damage, Technique, Spell, Soul, Hegemony, Balance, Alchemy, Rune

[Tip: If the Pioneer does not confirm the allocation plan within 10 minutes, the remaining unallocated points will be automatically evenly distributed according to the recommended characteristics and enter the "Activation" stage]

His recommended features are really messy...

Xin Lailai looked at the long list of options in front of her, as well as the recommended features that were almost including the attributes, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

Thanks to the lack of inheritance, in order to make up for his shortcomings, he basically learned everything he could, and maxed out every area he could, and turned himself into a nearly omnipotent hexagonal warrior.

Needless to say, the benefits of doing so were obvious. One only needed to look at the gap between him and those ordinary contractors who had no inheritance like him to understand. However, the disadvantages were equally obvious. For example, now, the Executor of the Dead and others generally had at most three or four recommended features, while he made it impossible for the Brand to judge which path he wanted to take.

You could say he's a technical practitioner, but he's maxed out the passive abilities of both spells. You could say he's a dual practitioner, but he has a soul strength of 80 points and a head full of soul knowledge and secret techniques. You could say he's taking the pure mana route, but his strongest attack is the annihilation energy synthesized from the power of demons and angels. You could say he wants to take the output route, but his tankiness is now enough to beat a bunch of top-tier tanks. Not to mention Paradise, even he himself wants to complain about the number of abilities he has now.

——But if he hadn’t done that, he would never have been able to reach the height he is at today.

Xin Lailai knew very well that his upper limit was there. If the Death Executor and others could raise their areas of expertise to S, S+ or even EX level, then his upper limit would be S- or even A+. Moreover, this was the result of him spending several times more resources than the Death Executor and others.

Even if he had done everything he could to the limit, in the end he could only barely keep up with the pace of other pioneers.

This also includes runes. Initially, Xin Lailai thought that 83203 forced them to learn runes in order to make them have a deeper understanding of the relationship between runes and spells and reach a deeper level. However, as time went on, Xin Lailai gradually realized that 83203 made them learn runes not to let them comprehend anything based on it, but to give them a way out.

Yes, a retreat, or rather... it is a 'safeguard' that allows them to continue to maintain their pioneer status when they are unable to keep up with other pioneers head-on.

As long as they have runes and spiritualism, even if one day they are no longer useful for output or damage resistance, they can still continue to be active on the battlefield of pioneers as auxiliary. Even then, the versatility they have cultivated now will become their strongest help in assisting the team.

After all, just as Yamu had told him, even in the junior echelon, no one would reject such an all-round teammate.

Rather, it is better to say that in the foreign-level team where everyone likes to go to extremes, guys like them with all-round development are the most sought-after candidates for team formation.

Therefore, to a certain extent, this future is actually a very good development direction for them.

"Direction..."

Xin Lailai looked at the feature allocation interface in front of him, was silent for a while, raised his hand and started clicking on it.

[Tip: Points have been allocated. Do you want to activate according to the current allocation plan? ]

[Tip: The current selection is as follows]

A. Basic attribute gain (20/50)

B. Survival characteristics enhancement (50/50)

G. Enhanced Hegemony Characteristics (20/50)

H. Balance characteristics enhancement (10/50)

……

20 points of attribute gain + 10 points of balanced characteristics, this can ensure that the basic attribute gain of the Transcendence suit is at least 30 points, and the +5 enhancement effect must be a secondary enhancement in attribute gain.

As for the rest…

Xin Lailai looked at the survival characteristic gain that was pulled up to 50 points on the branding interface, then looked at the unusually glaring (0/50) behind the techniques and spells. After a moment of silence, he pressed the confirmation button.

[Hint: Confirmation completed, has entered the "activation" stage, the suit effect is adapting, estimated completion time: 100 seconds]

If he chooses a skill or magic bonus, it might give him a higher ceiling, and he might even have the possibility of defeating Extreme Blade Abyss Shadow, but...

That option was too luxurious for him.

Rather than risking his life to win the so-called victory, he now... just wanted to live on in misery, to see the people in his memory, and to fulfill the promise he made to them.

Yes……

"that's enough."

【Adaptation completed】

[Tip: Transcendence Suit +5 (3/3) Suit effect has been activated]

[Tip: Since the "Transcendence Suit" held by the Pioneer has been promoted to the legendary level, the Pioneer has an opportunity to give it an exclusive name, and can write the suit introduction by himself]

100 seconds later, a cold prompt sounded. Xin Lailai looked at the naming prompt in front of him, his eyes slightly lowered. After a moment of silence, he began to write on the branding interface and finally pressed the confirmation button.
