The hallmark of a Second-order Elite-level is the ‘Energy Armor’.
Armor Skills are based on this. They are created by infusing countless rare materials to make skills that can be used as equipment.
For Rakshasa, the ‘Fenye Evil Spear1, is not only capable of getting stronger but can also be easily integrated into his body, becoming his own primary weapon.
In terms of strength and uniqueness, it is no less inferior than a Hero’s Exclusive Weapon.
‘Fenye Evil Spear’
‘Description: The spear is made by consolidating Rakshasa’s powers of evil and refined through multiple forgings by using numerous materials, possesses advanced sharpness, high toughness, and can moderately amplify Rakshasa’s power of evil. Additionally, ‘Fenye Evil Spear’ can fixate on the ‘sins’ of the enemy. The greater the ‘sins’ of the enemy, the stronger the spear’s power of Fenye and killing.
Besides this, the ‘Evil Heavenly Dragon’ tattoo on Rakshasa also appears to be transforming, but it’s not as prominent as the Evil Spear.
While Rakshasa enjoyed a good harvest, so did Hong Yi.
She didn’t comprehend something as special as the ‘Fenye Evil Spear’. She only…
‘Alert: Hong Yi has begun understanding the ‘Illusion’s Mindset’. The Illusory World under the imprisonment of the evil eye has notably enhanced.’
‘Alert: Hong Yi, through the Illusory World, has developed the Venue Skill ‘Bloodstained Red Building’.’
‘Alert: Hong Yi has combined the Venue Skill with the Epic Skill ‘Underworld Ghost Market’, causing some changes in the Ghost Market.’
In terms of artistic conception, Hong Yi was once behind Rakshasa.
It wasn’t due to her insufficient talent.
It was because Lord Shepherd used to practice with Rakshasa often, thus Rakshasa improved quite rapidly. When it came to Hong Yi, her path of illusion could only advance little by little through her own comprehension, hence her progress was slow.
However, she had ample knowledge and through the evolutionary miracle, she seized the opportunity to break through in one fell swoop.
In addition, Hong Yi was surrounded by numerous visions. An ancient marketplace emerged enveloping the scene, shrouded in dark fog, eerily foreboding as if it was Nether Hell. Only the stalls and shops inside were deserted, not even a single evil spirit could be seen.
‘Underworld Ghost Market’
‘Description: The Ghost Market is born from Illusion’s powers and can act upon reality. Initially, it only has the power to confine enemies. Hong Yi can open the Ghost Market to confine enemies and erode targets with weak resistance through the power of the Ghost Market, turning them into part of the Ghost Market — evil spirits of the Ghost Market.’
‘Through continuous erosion and transformation, the Underworld Ghost Market will gradually become bustling and produce more wonders.’
A deserted Ghost Market, searching for evil spirits.
This is HongYi’s Underworld GhostMarket.
This skill resembles that of General Dead Bone’s Wraith Sacred Mountain. Both are development type world-class skills.
What’ s different is that the lower limit of her skill is very low but the upper limit is extremely high. Imagine if she transforms a Third-order Warlord-level enemy into a Ghost Market evil spirit, what kind of performance would this skill have?
“Epic Skills are really mysterious. Not only do they offer unlimited potential, they can also derive and create numerous subordinate skills.”
“The same Epic Skills may yield vastly different effects in the hands of different entities.”
Of course, there are some Epic Skills that do not change much.
For instance, Duo Lai’s ‘Spatial Devour’.
This skill is akin to taking a bite, rupturing the space, devouring everything. Not to mention the derivation and creation. Even the method of use hardly varies.
However,’ Spatial Devour’ possesses a certain beauty in strength.
Up until now, no one has been able to resist Duo Lai’s bite.
General Dead Bone stated before, if it tries to resist Duo Lai’s fatal move head- on, it could only use Wraith Sacred Mountain. Even then, half of the Sacred Mountain would be bitten off directly, indicating the power of ‘Spatial Devour’.
Monstrously destructive power.
Once the enemy is marked, there is almost no chance of evasion.
The drawback is that Duo Lai can only ‘devour’ targets ‘within range’. Last time, when handling the Blood Crow BOSS, Duo Lai had no chance to use this lethal move.
Rakshasa’s Epic Skill ‘Three-phase Body’ varies from Duo Lai, Dead Bone, Hong Yi and Isloa.
It is quite extraordinary.
‘Three-phase Body’
‘Description: Rakshasa can split into ‘Good Body’, ‘Evil Body’, ‘Ego’, the three dimensional entities. The combined strength of the three bodies is no weaker than the main body, but each have different tendencies. The Good Body possesses the ‘Flame of Fenye’, capable of burning all sins. The Evil Body has the Body of Pulling out the evil, capable of devouring all sins to strengthen itself.’
‘Also, under certain conditions, the separated three-phase bodies can reunify again.’
‘Remark: The Three-phase Body is not a regular clone or incarnation skill. It has the ability to cultivate autonomously, and once it dies, a huge price has to be paid for it to re-condense.’
At this moment, Rakshasa, holding the Fenye Evil Spear, is engulfed in a fierce evil gale.
In this dark brown storm, Rakshasa’s figure splits into three.
Standing in the middle is his ‘Ego’, appearing exactly as before.
On the left is his ‘Good Body’. His skin appears less dark, his face less fierce, and even seems to have a compassionate appearance.
On the right is his ‘Evil Body’. His muscles are bulging, his body twice as burly as before, his face dark and snarling, he looks like a king of evil spirits.
Seeing the transformations of Rakshasa and Hong Yi, the generals and elites watched in envy.
Who will be the next general to qualify for the Epic Evolution?
The Bone Dragon could only swallow nervously, despite it not having saliva.
The scene before its eyes was enough to amaze it for ten thousand years!
After all, it’s the Bone Dragon.
Although it’s not considered great or respected, known as the dragon clan’s disgrace, weak and inferior, but…
As one of the strongest military types beneath the Epic, it could understand the transformations of Rakshasa and Hong Yi more clearly. How to describe such changes? It would not be an exaggeration to say that it’s like a carp turning into a dragon, or achieving an instant success!
The Bone Dragon, just like itself, was merely a step away from becoming an epic, precisely 0.95 steps away. But this tiny gap was like a chasm. After struggling for hundreds of years, it had still failed to cross it.
Now,
it had the opportunity to do so, having been recruited by the great, revered, supreme, and the incomparable… (10,000 words omitted)… enlightened monarch. Moreover, the opportunity wasn’t afar.
The Bone Dragon wanted nothing more but to thank its predecessor. With the latter’s clever and timely death, how else could it have met the enlightened monarch?
Come on!
For the glory of evolution, for the Lord, and to become a better-quality mount, the Bone Dragon initiated frantic self-cultivation.
The night was dark, and the stars glistened brightly.
A tall figure walked through the silent forest. He seemed indifferent to the dangers lurking around him in the wilderness, and the dark, murderous night.
In the pitch-black darkness, a pair of greeny eyes suddenly emerged.
A powerful Ghost Wolf lunged out from the darkness, revealing its horrific sharp teeth. Its black hair blended with the night and its body coursed with potent shadow energy.
The Ghost Wolf that lunged, froze in mid-air as if tied up by countless spider webs.
The tall figure continued walking forward and didn’t stop until he was hundreds of meters away.
A line of blood only began to spill from the suspended Ghost Wolf after a while, spraying in all directions. The heavy scent of blood attracted more fierce beasts. Thus began a wild feast, making the quiet forest extraordinarily lively amidst the surging blood and ferocious roars.
By the time the figure had long gone, he suddenly squatted down, scooping up some sand from the ground with a smile.
” I’ve discovered another territory. Let me think, this must be the ninth newly established territory.”
He pulled out a map from his pocket which marked the locations and general information of the previous eight territories.
He casually stuffed the map into his vest, quite relaxed.
After all, his mission was merely to investigate new territories and the layout of the external defense line of Tai Xuan, as well as… look for the possible presence of the Tianyuan Territory in this region.
This was simple for him, though it required time-consuming and repetitive territory-searching and entry.
He was not quite pleased to have been assigned this task.
After all, he’s not an ordinary player, but an A-rank insider from the Eye of Shen Yao. Even among A-grade explorers, he ranked high.
He had accomplished 11 A-grade tasks and 4.4 B-grade tasks, an incredible record!
He had even entered the territories of veteran Lords several times: both Tai Xuan lords and neutral Lords, and even the Lord of Yongxing.
This filled him with immense pride.
The most powerful aspect of a veteran Lord was not their complete Troop Legion capable of conquering cities and territories or their famous generals, but their territories which constantly developed and managed to remain as impregnable as a golden fortress.
All the territories of a veteran Lord were like dragon pools and tiger dens.
Not only could he infiltrate them, but also retreat in one piece.
He might not be the most combative among A-grade explorers, but he was certainly one of the few who could best infiltrate and preserve life.
He was therefore known as “Victor of the Phantom”.
He was a powerful figure with a title!
Once he had infiltrated the lair of a veteran lord, and unfortunately being exposed, he was even pursued by a Fourth-order Leader Level, a dominant powerhouse. Yet, he still managed to escape unscathed.
That was the most valuable asset he could show off.
Assigning him to investigate new territories was, to put it plainly, an underutilization of his abilities.
But precisely because Victor is no pushover, he understood the importance of this mission, which was to not only strangle Tianyuan but also to inspect the perimeter of the Tai Xuan Alliance for the next strategic move.
“As Lanxing will soon be merged, the dispute between Shen Yao and Tai Xuan becomes increasingly unavoidable.”
” If only this Tai Xuan would remain a vassal to my Shen Yao obediently, we wouldn’t have so much trouble!”
Everyone knows that a planetary world would normally give birth to only one faction.
Shen Yao Empire was initially recognized by the “Holy Griffon Empire”.
They were also the first to establish a faction.
If Tai Xuan Alliance hadn’t unexpectedly obtained a heart of a faction from somewhere, their Shen Yao Empire could have collected the resources of the entire Lanxing to reach higher positions a long time ago.
Then his ‘Victor of the Phantom’ wouldn’t have missed the lordship.
All of this was Tai Xuan’s fault.
Isn’t it great for them to be our vassals like majority of the nations in Lanxing?
Victor moved quickly through the shadows, speeding along like a bolt of lightning.
Sure enough, a modestly-sized territory appeared in his view. The numerous lights within the territory glowed brightly in the night, like pearls.
When he said the territory was modestly sized, he was comparing it to the older, more established territories he had seen before.
Factually,
The number of the buildings, lights, and guards all exceeded the eight territories he had previously visited.
“This is a small town-level territory,” he noted.
“Looks like I’ve finally encountered a newly established territory with some might.”
He hoped it would give him some gains, as well as entertainment.
Victor walked straight ahead, yet his figure subtly changed, becoming invisible to the naked eye, as if he were a ghost.
