Cataclysm King

Chapter 412 Catastrophic Objects [The Prophet Vala's Pen of Cause and Effect]

Ji Xun activated the spiritual scroll left by Nan Jing, and in an instant, a mysterious nine-pointed star teleportation array appeared in the void.

This spiritual formation is directly connected to the underworld. Anyone with sufficient knowledge can tell that the standards of the ancient spells on the nine-pointed star are extremely high.

The people on the other side of the southern continent also knew that something was wrong when they saw the situation.

And the blind old man who was still hiding in the dark had a very bad premonition.

The prophet was unusually sensitive to his own death. If before it was like a needle pricking his forehead, sometimes it made him feel uncomfortable, now when he saw the spiritual formation appear, he felt as if the god of death was standing behind him, and his hair stood on end.

The old man didn't care about anything else and shouted: "Quick! Stop him at all costs!"

While speaking, he hastily released several spell cards towards Ji Xun.

Unfortunately, without the guaranteed hit effect of "magic lock", this spell posed almost no threat to Ji Xun.

Seeing this, the other two seventh-level and several other surviving Dragonborn card masters also rushed towards Ji Xun.

Ji Xun was communicating with spirits, so it was difficult for him to teleport, but he had no intention of escaping.

At this moment, looking at the enemies surrounding him, there was only a sinister smile on his face.

With one hand, he poured magical power into the scroll, and with the other hand, he pointed his five fingers toward the sky and chanted softly, "Wu Jie·Yu!"

In an instant, the sealing rune on the black magic gloves lit up, and a layer of isolation barrier covered Ji Xun's body.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

Various spells exploded brilliantly on the body surface.

The absolute repulsive barrier formed by the lightless sun can block any attack at the material level.

In fact, as long as Ji Xun dares to use [Dark Magic] recklessly, he can hold on for a long time even if he has to withstand the attacks of this group of people before his spell power is exhausted.

In the blink of an eye, the magic circle constructed by the psychic scroll was completed, and a lady with a bun and wearing a black long skirt walked out of the formation.

If it’s not Nan Jing, then who could it be?

Only Ji Xun has this scroll. Nan Jing of course knew that it was Ji Xun who was summoning her, so she came happily.

As soon as she came out and looked at Ji Xun, her pretty face was full of surprise from the bottom of her heart: "Wow~ Mr. Ji Xun, long time no see!"

Ji Xun looked at the girl's heartless smile, feeling a little helpless, and went straight to the point: "Let's talk about the past later. First, do me a favor and hold these people back. There is a prophet over there, and I plan to kill him."

Although he almost died in the Extreme Thief City, Ji Xun never used this scroll from beginning to end.

The most fundamental reason was that he was not sure whether he would betray his friends by summoning Miss Bun-Head's psychic.

But this time it's different.

I have just forced these guys in front of me to this extent, but they still can't do anything to me. It seems that these are the only tricks they can use.

Ji Xun estimated how many could be left.

So you must have a strong helper.

It’s hard to say anything else, but as the heir of the lineage of High Priest Taren, he still thinks there is nothing wrong with the methods used.

Not even weaker than myself.

Although Nan Jing knew that Ji Xun must have encountered trouble when he summoned him, he also sensed the aggressive murderous aura when he first came over.

But when he saw the situation around him, his expression was instantly stunned.

She glanced at Ji Xun again, her stunned expression seemed to be asking: Three level sevens? Were you fighting with these people just now?
And from what Ji Xun said, he was forced into a desperate situation and needed his help to escape.

But to kill the enemy?

How is this guy brave?
Oh.

Always has been.

He is Mr. Ji Xun.

Nan Jing's watery eyes flashed with a strange color, but he didn't show any difficulty at all, and replied obediently, "Oh."

Ji Xun glanced at her and finally asked, "Are you sure?"

Nan Jing glanced at the Dragonborn card masters, chuckled and revealed his cute little fangs, and said, "If it's just to delay them, then of course there's no problem."

Ji Xun smiled at each other and nodded: "That's good."

Before he finished speaking, Nan Jing's face also showed a serious expression. With a burst of curse power all over his body, the shadow of the demon god appeared behind him: "Demon Release: Imperial Court!"

Without giving any enemies a chance, she pulled a huge scroll out of thin air with her slender hands. She slapped it with one hand and shouted softly, "Necromancer: Undead Arena!"

In an instant, an oversized spiritual formation appeared, covering an area of ​​one kilometer in radius, and a large building shadow suddenly appeared in the surrounding void.

The phantom enveloped everyone and instantly solidified into a huge arena.

Is this an arena that appeared out of thin air?

Seeing that the situation was not good, the two seventh-level warriors immediately transformed themselves into giant dragons and flew away from the arena.

But as if they were bound by some mysterious force, as soon as they flew up, some spell chains appeared on their bodies, preventing them from leaving.

Even the angry dragon breath sprayed on the building was completely useless except for knocking down some rubble.

It seemed that the two seventh-level beings were completely controlled and killed here immediately.

Ji Xun was also slightly surprised when he saw his expression.

Upon closer inspection, this arena exudes a dark aura of death like that of a demon. Is it actually a disaster of unknown level?
Being able to control a seventh-level Dragonborn card master, could it be an eighth-level disaster?
Ji Xun had known for a long time that Nan Jing, because of his inheritance from the high priest, could communicate with spiritual beings of a much higher level than himself.

Now it seems that this ability is getting even more outrageous.

However, just when Ji Xun was looking at this long-unseen Miss with a new look, Nan Jing stuck out his tongue and whispered in a shy voice: "Mr. Ji Xun, please hurry up. This spiritualism is of a very high level, I can't hold on for long."

Ji Xun laughed, "Okay!"

As he spoke, a void crack appeared in front of him.

With one step, he appeared next to the dark curtain where the blind old man was hiding in the distance.

Nan Jing saw Ji Xun moving through the air with one hand, and his eyes blinked. He murmured in his heart: "It turns out that it's not just me who has become stronger. Mr. Ji Xun has also become so powerful."

As soon as the Colosseum appeared, the balance of victory and defeat immediately tilted.

Ji Xun originally planned that Nan Jing could help him hold back a seventh-level warrior, but he didn't expect him to be so strong and directly control the entire situation.

This way, he only had to concentrate on dealing with the blind old man.

But even with help, the seventh level is not that easy to kill.

As soon as Ji Xun teleported over, he raised his hand and punched the black curtain.

Now the repulsive field released by the [Black Magic] gloves surrounds his entire body. No matter what dark spell the opponent releases, theoretically it is unlikely to hurt him.

And the blind old man probably knew that he couldn't escape, so he didn't plan to run.

But Ji Xun didn't think he could kill the other party so easily. Instead, he was looking forward to it: "This old man foresaw that I would appear here, how would he deal with it?"

I thought the other party would have some special means to avoid this almost fatal punch, or use some relic to block it.

However, the result surprised Ji Xun.

The ripples from the fist exploded on the black curtain.

This powerful punch created spider-web-like cracks in a large area of ​​nearby space.

The prophet's body was weak and he was not good at various defensive measures. This dark curtain was completely unable to stop the impact of the gravitational waves that spread over a large area.

"puff!"

Suddenly, there was a sound like flesh and blood exploding.

Ji Xun also clearly sensed that the target's "Qi" was dissipating.

The black curtain burst like a balloon, and one could see with the naked eye that a piece of flesh and blood had exploded inside.

Ji Xun could even clearly sense the out-of-control supernatural properties of the corpse fragments.

One punch and it was over.

"Killed him just like that?"

Ji Xun looked at this scene with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

Isn't it too easy to kill this seventh-level prophet?
However, before he could even begin to doubt himself, a strong sense of death crisis suddenly struck him.

Ji Xun had no time to dodge before his body exploded with a bang and turned into a cloud of foul-smelling rotten flesh.

This scene was so dramatic, it looked like both of them died together?
Even Nan Jing, who was watching the battlefield from a distance, had a tremor in his eyes just now. But then, as if he had discovered something, his brows relaxed instantly, and he put down the spell he had prepared.

A strange scene then unfolded.

Ji Xun slowly stood up from the shadow not far from the exploded body.

Just as he stood up, he exploded with a "bang".

Not far away, the second shadow stood up, and Ji Xun was able to completely offset the mysterious force.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Ji Xun narrowed his eyes slightly and grinned: "So that's it. I almost died again."

Sure enough, the methods of the seventh-level prophet are not that simple.

Of course he understood that the method that ignored all defenses just now was a very sophisticated "curse".

Moreover, the power of this curse was so strong that it looked like the blind old man used his own life as a medium to release it.

This attack is enough to easily kill any card master below level eight.

Unfortunately, Ji Xun had already deduced this possibility.

In fact, when he had tested the opponent's divination ability several times before, he had already realized that after he was injured, his flesh and blood medium might have been collected by the enemy.

Flesh and blood are necessary to cast a targeted curse.

If it were Ji Xun himself, as long as he knew how to cast a curse, he would never miss this method that could ignore defense.

Now that I've thought about it, I'll naturally not be without precautions.

Therefore, from the beginning to the end, he never used the Joker's unique magical power [Shadow Substitute] which could exempt him from certain fatal attacks.

This is to guard against those mysterious methods that the Black Magic Gloves cannot resist.

After all, prophecy has limitations, it is a one-time cast of fate spell.

Since the blind old man predicted his own death, it was impossible for him to predict right after that that Ji Xun would use the secret shadow technique to escape.

So it was almost inevitable that Ji Xun would be able to avoid a fatal crisis by using a shadow substitute.

Facts have once again proved that his caution added an important chip to victory.

Ji Xun was not surprised to be counterattacked before his death.

But what surprised him was that this blind old man really made a last attempt with his life?

really dead?
Obviously not.

Just as Ji Xun stood up from the shadow, the mass of flesh and blood not far away actually condensed visibly.

It was as if time had gone back and he was transformed into that blind old man in an instant.

"what?"

Ji Xun was also extremely surprised to see the scene of resurrection on the spot.

It was definitely not a spell like the substitution jutsu that he used.

He had just seen this guy die beyond death, how could he be resurrected? Healed?

Going back in time?

Or what other means?
It was because he couldn't understand that he was extremely surprised.

However, the blind old man opposite also looked extremely shocked.

He also never expected that his desperate curse would fail to kill the target?
Looking at Ji Xun emerging from the shadows, not only the old man, but also the seven or eight people from the Southern Continent all froze in expression.

Only then did they realize that they had faced an opponent with terrifying calculating abilities.

Everyone knows that facing the predictive ability of the Archdeacon of the Holy See, Lord Ram, is an almost unsolvable situation.

However, they saw a different result.

Not only did this guy not die, he almost killed the Grand Deacon?

Ji Xun looked at the resurrected old man in front of him and noticed some changes.

This guy was already old. After his resurrection, he seemed to have aged ten years, and he already looked like he was running out of energy.

"Does the secret method of resurrection just now consume lifespan?"

Ji Xun suddenly understood.

It seems that just like his "Undying Curse" that allows infinite healing, this bug-like resurrection ability comes at a huge price.

What a pity, if it really comes down to a fight of lifespan, Ji Xun feels that he will not lose.

It seems that the curse cannot be used a second time in a short period of time, but he will not give the other party a second chance.

Just when he came to his senses, there was a sound in the air and Ji Xun disappeared on the spot.

Now is the period when the opponent's prophecies and spells are not in use, this is the best opportunity.

The blind old man sensed Ji Xun rushing towards him and his expression became very ugly, but he had to deal with it.

The shadow of the demon god appeared behind him, and he took out a card: "Domain·Psychic Vision!"

The field unfolds as if nothing happened.

Ji Xun was also curious about what field this old man had comprehended before, but now after seeing his posture, he roughly understood.

There is no abnormal phenomenon, which means that this area is not an offensive or defensive area, and it is most likely to amplify itself.

A thought flashed through his mind, and Ji Xun would not give the enemy a chance to condense the spell again. He stepped into the air and rushed forward a hundred meters, punching him again.

With punches all over his face, it's difficult for this guy to perform any magic.

however.

The magical scene happened again.

Although Ji Xun's rank is lower than his opponent, he doesn't think that a prophet can avoid a melee card master's face-to-face combat.

However, the old man opposite did it.

Ji Xun threw a punch, and this guy seemed to have suddenly "seen" the future. He magically swayed slightly with a strange body movement that left an afterimage.

This caused the fist to avoid the body and hit the void.

"what?"

After Ji Xun threw the punch, he felt something was wrong.

It feels like you are aiming at the bull's eye, but every time the bullet hits the outer ring, avoiding the most deadly spot.

Although the gravitational waves still caused damage to the opponent, it was not enough to cause him to die on the spot.

"Bang", "bang", "bang".
Ji Xun threw dozens of punches in succession, and the punch shadows were as dense as a rainstorm.

But to his surprise, this guy avoided the vital points with every punch.

It's not the physical body's nerve reflexes that keep up, but that kind of magical predictive ability.

This is an unconscious act of body manipulation that allows the body to avoid an impending fatal attack like a conditioned reflex.

It's like "prediction".

But it would be fine if he could predict it once, this guy can predict it every time.

This is hard to explain.

After throwing dozens of punches, Ji Xun also discovered some tricks and thought: "Can this field enhance the ability to perceive death crisis? Amazing!"

He seemed to have discovered a new world.

This feeling was a bit like what Gong Wu had taught him before, which was to refine "intention" to the extreme effect.

To that extent, dodging a fatal attack doesn't even require the brain to do so, the body can just dodge.

It was because the old man was weak that he was hit by every punch.

If a melee card master really mastered this ability, Ji Xun's fist might not be able to hit the target at all.

“What an amazing field!”

Although they were enemies, it had to be said that Ji Xun also felt very novel about this kind of field.

But there is no time to lose.

He knew that if he delayed any longer, once the enemy's predictive abilities were ready, things might change again.

Ji Xun no longer held back, and suddenly gathered his strength and punched out, once again breaking the void into spider web fragments.

"Boom" sound.

The blind old man exploded into a ball of blood mist again.

Kill it again.

"Hey, that's not right!"

But at the first moment, Ji Xun did not feel any relief. Instead, he felt a suffocating feeling of death coming, and quickly retreated a long way.

Looking again, the body fragments not far away reappeared and reshaped into the blind old man.

However, this time, the old man looked even older than before. He was like a flame swaying in the wind, and his breath was unstable.

It seemed that the resurrection just now had exhausted his limited lifespan.

However, even so, a hint of determination emerged in those pale eyes, as if he was determined to kill the enemy in front of him with his last breath.

Ji Xun sensed this determination and his scalp instantly went numb.

This was the moment since the battle began that made him feel closest to death.

Up to now, I have used all my means.

He knew very well that if the old man opposite him cast the same curse again, he would be killed.

However, despite the danger, there was no trace of fear or trepidation on Ji Xun's face. He just grinned and faced everything that was about to come.

As a seventh-level prophet, it is already a great pleasure for me to have the opportunity to fight this kind of enemy to the point of using all my means.

It's a life-and-death battle where everyone depends on their own abilities.

Since you have chosen to fight, of course you have been prepared to be killed.

What's more, given the opponent's current state, he may not be able to kill me even if he tries his best.

Even Nan Jing, who was not far away, sensed something and his expression changed slightly, wanting to take action.

However, this death crisis suddenly intensified, but before it reached its peak, it suddenly disappeared out of thin air.

The blind old man in the distance raised his hand and was about to release the spell card in his hand when he froze in mid-air, a mouthful of black blood spurted out of his mouth, and he died on the spot in an instant.

When Ji Xun saw this, he realized that the old man had reached the end of his life.

Whether it was a curse or a prophecy, the backlash to the body was extremely unimaginable.

The fierce battle just now, the continuous use of prophecy, and two "resurrections" have exhausted the remaining vitality of the old blind man.

Seeing this, Ji Xun breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he felt a little regretful: "It's a pity that I couldn't hold on to the end."

It looks like he forced himself to death. To be honest, this blind old man died of fate.

If the enemy's lifespan is long enough, it's hard to say what the outcome of this battle will be.

The blind old man died on the spot.

There was no "resurrection" this time.

Only then did Ji Xun see clearly that a quill pen in his hand was slowly falling.

Nan Jing, who was far away, saw this and murmured, "It turns out that this relic predicted my own death in advance and used it to rewrite the tragedy that was bound to happen."

As soon as these words were spoken, the effectiveness of this relic was revealed.

Ji Xun also got some information from the enlightenment.

[The prophet Vala's fate-tampering pen]

Detailed explanation: An ancient relic of epic quality; a relic exclusive to the Prophet Sequence, which can modify the future that has been predicted to happen to oneself; using this relic requires mastery of the Law of Destiny, and consumes a large amount of lifespan.
"Catastrophic object?"

Ji Xun looked at the grade of the quill pen and was not too surprised.

Anything that can resurrect the old man twice must be of very high quality.

However, as he looked at the effect of this investment, he once again felt the power of the law of fate.

Is it possible to modify the predicted future?

Life-and-death battles have always been the fastest and most effective way to improve one's perception.

Kill this prophet and everything seems to be settled.

The moment he relaxed, Ji Xun seemed to have touched upon some profound secret of the universe and gained some vague insights.

The ability of a prophet actually has a lot in common with "I am the world".

Destiny is like the lines of the universe, past, present, and future. Prophecy uses mysterious power to spy on those lines;
And I am the world. Like a detective, I use logic to deduce the fundamental mysteries deep in the universe.

But at this moment, Ji Xun witnessed with his own eyes that someone could use the relic [The Prophet Vala's Pen of Fate] to tamper with his own destiny, which gave him a very strange feeling.
It's as if the world is like a huge storybook.

All the characters in the story, including Ji Xun himself, are controlled by an invisible thread of fate.

But as long as you stand in a high enough extraordinary dimension, it seems that you have some kind of pen that can tamper with your own destiny.

Or is it that the act of tampering with one's fate is itself a part of one's own destiny?
Ji Xun fell into a strange state of enlightenment.

Countless thoughts in my mind collided rapidly, flashing brilliant sparks of inspiration.

However, before he could think about it, Nan Jing, who was not far away, discovered something and reminded him, "Someone is coming!"

When Ji Xun heard this, he came back to his senses instantly.

He put the body into the painting without hesitation, then teleported over to grab the girl with the ball-head hairstyle and said urgently, "Let's get out of here first!"

When he saw the team's pursuit formation before, he guessed that there might be a large force from the Southern Continent nearby.

And it must be very strong.

It's not the time to confront someone head-on before you understand the situation clearly.

Nan Jing didn't understand the situation, but she had absolute trust in Ji Xun, so she nodded and said, "Okay!"

As they spoke, the two of them completely ignored the two seventh-level dragonborns who were chasing them relentlessly, and ran wildly in the void.

Soon it disappeared into the endless void.
