Cataclysm King.

Chapter 498 Level 7 [Those who understand the laws]

 There are at least tens of thousands of holy dragon knights and mercenaries of the Holy See in the Dead Realm.

Ji Xun and the others did not intend to be too eye-catching.

 They are not the protagonists of this incident, and they should avoid it if they can.

　　It was because of the collision before that the group was almost destroyed.

 Now that I have finally escaped, I must be more careful.

 Fortunately, this endless pit is big enough.

The terraces on each floor also have lush vegetation and are easily hidden.

 This is a shallow area of ​​the Dead Zone. The monsters are not too strong and have been mostly cleared.

The group of people walked all the way down the rock wall for several hours, and found a hidden cave covered by waterfalls and vines.

 This is a good temporary base.

 After a fierce battle, everyone in the Great Sword Group also needs repairs.

No one dared to light a fire in the enemy's territory. After setting up camp, they gathered together to get some simple marching rations as food.

 The dim magic lamp illuminated the cave, and also illuminated the slightly tired faces.

 Not long.

Ji Xun was surrounded by empty boxes of cans.

 There was a little girl next to her who was eating and drinking.

 Ivan had absorbed too much energy in that mirror space before, and now he needs to replenish it.

Everyone in the Great Sword Regiment has long been used to this scene.

 Each one of them helped her get the food at hand from time to time with a doting look on her face.

The atmosphere is very harmonious.

“The ambush plan by the Holy See failed. The members of the Holy See of Light and the Bloody Sect escaped. The Dead Realm will probably be lively for some time to come.”

"Yes. Now it seems that the Dragon God Marodis was exiled to the underworld hundreds of thousands of years ago. The people of the Illuminati Sect probably want to bring this Dragon God back."

"Hey, I haven't seen a real pure-blooded dragon, let alone a dragon god. Looking at this posture, once the golden dragon **** comes back, the dragon clan in the southern continent will also be in chaos. Maybe the Irel Empire They all have to collapse, hahaha.”

“It would be better if it collapses. In this way, the pressure on Donghuang will be much less”

ˆ “..”

 Everyone was eating and talking about future plans.

 When talking about several outer **** sects, they sounded more gloating about their misfortunes.

 Everyone has the same idea. The three outer **** sects are playing host here, and they are just here to join in the fun.

 The situation is unclear now, so just stay patient and wait for the opportunity.

 Their biggest purpose in coming to the Southern Continent is to get mythical monsters, the more the merrier.

Now that we have come to this Dead Realm, among other things, there are quite a few high-level monsters.

 Opportunities are everywhere.

Even when everyone was chatting, there were sounds of fighting and roars of monsters coming from the sinkhole outside.

The matter had nothing to do with anyone, and everyone in the cave didn't feel the slightest bit of danger at all.

While chatting, everyone started talking about the bottomless pit suspended upside down by gravity.

The ultimate secret that Emperor Lanlingster wanted to explore was, after all, extremely attractive.

"Our current location is on the third floor of the Dead Zone. Now the vanguard of the Holy See has at least explored the thirteenth and fourteenth floors 10,000 meters below where there are already eighth- and ninth-order monsters. But I guess Lan Lan back then The location where Emperor Linster went is deeper, and current adventurers cannot go there. Don’t even think about finding it out.”

"Yes. But tell me, what are those people from the Holy See trying so hard to find?"

"Maybe it's something related to the mythical Titan, such as those godhead fragments. Or something left over from that battle. After all, in the ambush of Emperor Lanlingst, the Dragon Clan lost many pure-blooded dragons. Maybe there are some dead”

“So, is it possible that there are still bones of a pure-blooded dragon in this pit?”

“It’s been hundreds of thousands of years, so it may not be preserved. Who knows.”

ˆ “.”

 The Dead Realm is full of secrets, and even the information Ji Xun knows is very limited.

 Most of what everyone talks about is speculation.

 While chatting, he suddenly mentioned the underworld that the roots of the tree lead to.

Lawson suddenly asked: "Hey, brother Ji Xun, what do you think the underworld is like? Isn't it said to be the destination of the dead? How can they come back?"

 Everyone is also very curious.

 Everyone’s eyes turned to this polymath.

Ji Xun shrugged: "I don't know either. It should be a plane like our cave world, but more special. And as far as I know, it is indeed possible to come back. I guess that Emperor Lanlingster was Being besieged and seriously injured, I couldn't kill the dragon **** Marodis, so I had no choice but to exile him."

This is not a wild guess on his part.

 He knew that the lineage of High Priest Talon had always had a special coordinate point in the underworld.

A certain girl with a round head often said that if she encounters an enemy she cannot defeat, she will be exiled to the underworld.

 So when I heard Old Man Xu say that a golden dragon was banished to the underworld, he immediately thought of this scene.

 As he spoke, Ji Xun glanced at Old Man Xu not far away.

This old man had eaten and drank enough, and just like an ordinary old man who was a little tired, he rolled up his sleeping bag and fell asleep.

Even though this old man has no sense of existence from beginning to end, this person is very important in Ji Xun's logical reasoning.

Without him, it is unknown whether they can leave the mirror secret realm alive.

 And because this man slept soundly here, Ji Xun felt that the cave was safe enough.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun's black eyes were filled with a distant look, and he unconsciously fell into deep thought.

I have talked about many topics before, but I have never talked about this old man.

 He was also wondering what role Old Man Xu played in that war.

Just as I was thinking about losing my mind, suddenly I heard a reminder: "Ji Xun, are you okay?"

 Looking to the side, Bonnie looked at herself strangely.

Ji Xun then realized that his fingers had naturally made a finger-twisting gesture to pick up the can in his hand.

That "charming" feeling gave everyone, not just Bonnie, a creepy feeling.

 As if possessed by something dirty.

 It makes a guy who is obviously too masculine become feminine.

Reminded by this, Ji Xun quietly restrained his fingers and explained calmly: "Ah, I'm mentally disturbed. It's nothing serious."

 I used [Dark Demon] frequently to fight, and it is normal that the side effects may be severe.

Boni didn’t know the hidden dangers of the witch’s deformation, and said in surprise: “Ah, it’s deformed. What’s more important? Do you want me to help you take a look?”

  Distortion is something that all card masters are shocked to hear.

Moreover, mental aberration is particularly dangerous, and you can become a "madman" if you are not careful.

 For the first time, they saw a person who could say so calmly that his deformity was a minor problem.

Looking at the concerned eyes of everyone, Ji Xun smiled and waved his hands, saying: "No need. This kind of distortion is not fatal, but it cannot be solved. I have some methods of my own."

 He really didn’t take it seriously.

 First, because he felt that this was worth it compared to the gains from the battle;

Also, this kind of distortion at the soul level will make his consciousness accept this change.

 I don’t know when I started, but I didn’t feel anything bad.

"But."

 Bonnie was still very worried when she heard this.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Qin Rushi again.

　　Seeing that her leader didn't say anything, she couldn't say anything else.

 Of course Qin Rushi knew what was going on.

 But she drank the broth and said nothing.

 After the meal, everyone returned to their tents as usual.

●Today’s battle is a rare experience for everyone, and they all need time to digest those insights.

  Ji Xun and Qin Ru usually practice [Controlling Immortals], and they always stay in the same tent.

 The two of them returned to the tent naturally.

The two of them had nothing to show off. Qin Ru took off her breastplate casually. Her plump upper body was very **** and eye-catching. The first thing she said was, "Are you okay?"

Ji Xun knew that she was asking about aberrations, and knew that he could not hide it, so he said truthfully: "There has been no fighting in the Giant Spirit City for a few months, and I have been suppressing it well. The previous battle was a little smoother, but it was a little out of control."

 The situation is more serious than what he told Bonnie and others before.

This kind of irreversible distortion is indeed bad from a certain perspective.

As soon as Qin Ru heard this, he frowned slightly and seemed to say "You're here".

Ji Xun shrugged and laughed at himself.

With eye contact, the two of them already knew what the other was going to say.

Qin Rushi didn’t say much more on this topic. He looked at Ji Xun, who was sitting cross-legged and about to meditate, and then said, “Are you planning to advance to the seventh level now? Do you need to prepare anything else?”

"Um."

Ji Xun nodded and said: "I started preparing a long time ago, and there is nothing missing. Today's combat field has improved greatly, and the divine power has fully reached the expected level, which is enough to successfully advance."

 Advancing to the seventh level is a risky and unknown process for most card masters.

But Ji Xun had experienced the process of Qin Rushi's advancement in her conscious world before, so he was 99% sure about it, not to mention 100% sure.

Qin Ru listened and didn't say much. He just said: "Well. Then you can advance with peace of mind, and I will help you protect him."

Ji Xun grinned with white teeth and said, "Okay!"

With Qin Ru by his side and Old Man Xu as an anchor, he could advance with peace of mind.

 After sitting cross-legged and adjusting his breath for half an hour, Ji Xun took out a dark gold card with a bright light. This is the original template [Law Knowledgeer] that was exchanged for military merit in the extra-dimensional space of "Thousands of Army Siege".

 This is also the career path that Ji Xun has planned for himself a long time ago.

  Wisdom sequence, affinity to all elements, extremely high compatibility.

And the materials are also carefully selected.

 The main material "consciousness" is the epic material [Golden Omen Brain-Eating Insect Mother] previously found in the tomb of the false emperor Augustus.

This insect has the ability to control the mind of a terrifying group, which is very suitable for Ji Xun's current multi-tasking.

 The auxiliary material "Mystery" is the [Rusty Resentment Scissors] obtained from the Neon Train before.

Darkness and resentment, these terms can satisfy the mysterious perception, can also increase the spirit, and are highly suitable for the attributes of the main material.

 After the fusion of extraordinary characteristics, the effect will be 1+1>2.

 The two materials "flesh" and "elements" are legendary materials [White Dragon's Giant Demonic Muscle] and [Freya's Rainbow Mushroom] that were obtained through all possible means in the black market of Djinn City.

 This is almost the best related material on the market.

 It’s a good thing that we came to Giant Spirit City, otherwise we would really miss this specialty of the southern continent.

Ji Xun studied card making systematically at the Royal Academy, and now has considerable attainments in the field of card making.

These materials are the best choices he can find that suit him.

Although it is not as nearly 100% consistent as the professional cards made by Master Merlin, it is still very ideal.

 He used the original template to refine a legendary card.

Quality: Legend

Detailed explanation: The seventh-level career card of the Wisdom Path 'Club 5 - Erudite'; the original template of the golden ominous brain-eating insect mother fused with the epic strange insect; the integration of this career card requires a mental power of not less than 390; earth, wind, and water The affinity of the main elements of the four series of fire and fire is not less than 150, the affinity rating of all elements is A+; the mental distortion tolerance rating is A+; after fusion, high wisdom growth, huge growth of all elemental laws, mysterious perception growth, and dragon ability are obtained Growth. High-level law suppression resistance +33%, divine power +115%, all spell element penetration increased. Obtained exclusive career entries 'Knowledge of All Arts', 'Heart of Omen Worm (Legendary)', and obtained spells Supercognitive abilities;

 The all-element affinity of the professional card, and the group mental distraction of the Omen Bug as the main material are all highly compatible abilities.

Ji Xun looked at the professional card in his hand with increasing satisfaction.

After his thoughts calmed down, he looked at Qin Rushi next to him, then closed his eyes and began to meditate.

Infused with magic power, the six-pointed star array behind the career card slowly lit up.

The entire card gradually turned into colorful threads of elements, penetrating into Ji Xun's limbs and bones.

 He sat cross-legged, immersed in meditation, and clearly felt an extraordinary power slowly seeping into his body.

At that moment, various high-level elements beyond one's own understanding turned into absorbable extraordinary power and poured into the body and soul.

Ji Xun seemed to feel that his body had turned into a colorful world.

 Fire, frost, storm, darkness, light, forest, rock.

Elements manifested themselves in the form of "phases" in his consciousness space, and then were violently inserted.

The feeling is like a balloon, which has obviously been inflated to the extreme.

 At this moment, terrifying external forces poured in, trying to explode and reshape the original form.

Ji Xun has advanced six times.

 He knows very well that the stronger the extraordinary characteristics of the professional card, the more painful the advancement process will be.

　　I was already mentally prepared.

 But this time it was completely different from the previous six times.

And because it is a full-element advancement, what he will experience is a more complex sensory experience than what Qin Rushi experienced.

When those extraordinary characteristics poured into the body with an unprecedented intensity, Ji Xun also understood why "divine power" was needed.

  The material of professional cards is the extraordinary characteristics obtained from creatures beyond their own level.

If you want to forcibly integrate those extraordinary characteristics into yourself, they will resist, assimilate, and become distorted.

 This process is painful and wonderful.

Ji Xun always feels like he is turning into the material.

 Ominous bugs, white dragons, rainbow mushrooms.

Or it can turn into mountains, deep forests, lakes and white clouds

 Looking more and more like a monster.

 Only it is difficult to maintain human form.

This is also the reason why in the three thousand years before the Eastern Wasteland, countless seniors had no guidance and forcibly advanced, resulting in 100% distortion.

 Human genes are too fragile and cannot withstand the erosion of such foreign supernatural characteristics that are stronger than themselves.

Genes are like the foundation of a high-rise building. Without a strong enough foundation, it is difficult to support a powerful and gorgeous ground building.

 Either you have powerful enough genetic modification, such as the bloodline of ancient mythical beasts.

 Use the stable structure of the bloodline of mythical beasts that has been tested for hundreds of millions of years to lay the foundation and stabilize the tall buildings.

Either that, the "drawings" are prescient enough.

 And "Shenwei" is the drawing.

 Anchoring the card master is a person.

 Let Ji Xun have enough willpower to anchor his human form in that kind of pain.

  Furthermore, one's own understanding is also one's own understanding of the laws. At this moment, the field of "True Understanding of All Things" is like a mold, integrating those violent elements into the body according to specific laws.

 Ji Xun feels like a sudden flash flood in the river.

Although they are turbulent, they are still in the expected channel.

 The solid realm has also become the most stable river, allowing the torrent of extraordinary characteristics to pass through steadily.

 I don’t know how long this process lasted.

 In Ji Xun’s conscious world, it seemed like a long, long time had passed.

 Although the process of advancement is painful, it is also a great opportunity.

 The special nature of the card master system makes the process of a card master's advancement like a window temporarily opened by the origin of the universe to itself, allowing people to glimpse extraordinary cognition beyond their own level during the advancement process.

 This is the cognitive improvement brought about by level promotion.

 The more solid the strength, the more you can see.

Ji Xun relied on the extraordinary characteristics of professional cards to forcibly raise his awareness, trying hard to get a glimpse of more extraordinary mysteries.

 He absorbed the knowledge like a whale.

 In a blink of an eye, it lasted for more than ten days.

 The body is like a water tank that has been broken and then reshaped.

 Suddenly becoming bigger and stronger.

 This day.

Ji Xun suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes shining brightly.

 At the same time, Qin Rushi in the tent also opened his eyes.

  She felt the changes that broke out in him, and her beautiful eyes were filled with surprise, and she asked, "Did it succeed?"

Although the success of the advancement was expected, Qin Rushi was inexplicably looking forward to it at this moment.

  Ji Xun’s eyes slowly dimmed, and he slowly exhaled a breath: “Yes.”

 The feeling that the seventh level gave him was really great!

At this moment, he realized that the world in the eyes of a top-level card master was really wonderful.

 Before, it was like seeing flowers in the fog, and the hazy understanding of high-level laws, please show it clearly in your eyes at this moment;

 The martial arts techniques and the mysteries of spells that were previously incomprehensible are now suddenly revealed;

 The improvement in rank brings about improvement in cognition, making Ji Xun feel that the whole world has become clear again.

 The domain and divine power have also increased a lot.

Moreover, the various attributes on the attribute panel have also skyrocketed.

 Strength, physique, agility, toughness, skills, and mental strength have all skyrocketed.

 This time I am taking the polymath route. The increase in physical strength is not too exaggerated, but the three basic physical attributes of strength, constitution, and agility have also exceeded the 1,000 mark!

This physical value is simply outrageous in the eyes of others.

 Ji Xun had seen the card master’s physical attribute description at the Royal Academy before.

 General seventh-level human melee card masters are already elite if one of the three major categories can reach 800.

 Even if he is a Dragonborn, his strength alone can exceed a thousand, which is considered first-class.

 But the three major items are all over 1,000, which is almost impossible.

 Not only compared with humans, this data is also comparable to that of Warcraft.

 It is no exaggeration to say that Ji Xun is now a humanoid monster!

 And the mental protection is even more exaggerated.

 From less than 400 before, it has skyrocketed to 500+.

 In addition, the growth rate and upper limit of mental power have been greatly increased.

 Once mental power skyrocketed, things like mystical perception, spell control, spell release, the upper limit of spell controllable levels, and the linkage efficiency of the mind and body were all greatly increased.

 This will increase the combat power exponentially.

This kind of improvement gives people confidence.

He is extremely confident that if he meets the Heavenly Dragon Holy Son from before again, in terms of strength alone, he will definitely be able to fight!

“This is the seventh level.”

Ji Xun’s face was filled with an expression that could not be concealed.

Although the success of the advancement was expected, truly experiencing the improvement brought by the advancement made him feel indescribably excited.

Qin Rusu on the side looked at his expression, and there was a hint of relief on his face that was also happy for him.

Originally, she wanted to ask more about the situation, but at this moment, there was a sudden sound like a battle outside.

Ji Xun suddenly came back to his senses, glanced at Qin Rushi, and asked, "What's going on outside?"

 In fact, he also sensed some abnormal situations during the past few days of advancement.

 But because Qin Ru was guarding him, he didn't care at all.

Qin Ru felt the movement outside the tent, as if he had become accustomed to it, and said calmly: "It's been like this these past few days. Uncle Dong went to check and found out where the members of the Holy See and two other foreign sects were on the sixteenth floor of the cave. It seems that an ancient ruins have been discovered, and the two sides are fiercely fighting for it. From time to time, there will be news of fierce fighting."

"oh."

Ji Xun was stunned when he heard this, and murmured to himself: "Sixteenth floor? Have those guys explored that deep yet?"

 He had a vague feeling that that location should be a bit close to the truth about the fall of Emperor Lanlingst.
