Destiny Rekindled

Chapter 302: Mythical Realm II, Lan Yue Takes Action! (Four in One) (Additional Updates in May with 9000 Monthly Tickets)

Unlike the sixteen mythical beings in the field, Qin Chuan could feel a power from the gradually reviving statue that was in no way inferior to his strength after displaying his spirit descent.

After giving Lin Yue a wink, Qin Chuan's figure flashed, blood shot into the sky, and he appeared in front of the statue in an instant.

"Stop him!"

The mythical-level beings who took action obviously knew of the existence of the statue, and one of them shouted loudly at the first moment.

In the next moment, a figure wrapped in lightning suddenly appeared in front of him. He punched down, and the moment the lightning exploded, the mythical man who had just spoken fell straight to the ground in the arcs of electricity shooting around him, creating a huge pit and stirring up endless smoke and dust. It was unknown whether he was alive or dead.

The expressions of the mythical ranks changed again.

For some reason, they felt that the woman in front of them was even more terrifying than Luo.

Without waiting for them to step back, Lin Yue slowly raised one hand, and a purple light burst out from her fingertips in an instant, sweeping across the mythical people present like a heavy artillery.

While severely damaging several mythical ranks in an instant, her calm tone echoed in the field.

"You should think about how to deal with me first."

On the other side, Qin Chuan, who had approached the statue, did not hesitate. He clenched his hand into a fist and punched the statue in front of him amidst the surging blood.

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound was heard at this moment.

The statue gently raised one hand and grabbed Qin Chuan's fist, thus blocking Qin Chuan's full-strength punch.

Qin Chuan's pupils shrank slightly.

"What an eager young man."

The statue slowly uttered a sound, and in such a short period of time it already had full mobility. He just pushed it lightly, and Qin Chuan felt the terrifying power transmitted to his body through his fist, causing his entire body to fly backwards.

Qin Chuan quickly stood still in the air, looking at the statue that was stepping into the void step by step, his expression had become completely solemn.

What a powerful force.

He could feel that the opponent in front of him was only slightly stronger than himself after his spirit descended.

But for some reason, in the brief moment of fighting with the opponent, the power he felt was almost crushing.

What level is this?
Also mythical level?
Or perhaps, above the mythological level?

After repelling Qin Chuan with one blow, the statue did not take action immediately. While standing still in the void, he calmly glanced at the battle circle on the other side where Lin Yue was, and then chuckled.

"A mere Legendary Rank is powerful enough to kill a Mythic Rank."

"This thing called home field advantage in the material world really doesn't make any sense at all."

"Just..." The statue paused for a moment, and in the next moment its figure appeared behind Qin Chuan like a ghost.

"There are things that exist in the Sky Steps, but not in the material world."

Qin Chuan's pupils shrank, and he turned around quickly, looking at the other person's palm pressing towards him, and used the time stop technique without hesitation.

As the surrounding scenes fell still, the jade-white statue's palm, which seemed to be able to shatter the heaven and earth in an instant, also froze.

Before Qin Chuan could breathe a sigh of relief, a cold and familiar feeling suddenly rose from behind him.

He turned his head suddenly and looked into the void.

That was the spot where Dirichlet had crushed Casakaban's contaminated core.

At this moment, Dirichlet had already left the place, leaving behind only a gray-black mist.

As the target of the dungeon, he fled without hesitation. Even the other mythical-level players who took action had no objection. After all, his death meant the success of the dungeon strategy.

And in the space where time stopped, the originally shapeless gray-black fog quickly became agitated and began to gather!
In just a moment, a finger made entirely of gray-black mist had taken shape and was still extending rapidly.

A faint cold laugh echoed throughout the time-stop space.

Qin Chuan's sweat broke out in a sudden motion.

It’s that powerful person with that ominous aura!
The other party was suspected to be the source of ominousness. When he first appeared on Blue Star, only half of his body was condensed, but he had already demonstrated terrifying strength that surpassed mythology.

Although the opponent's strength is not as good as before, as the opponent's body condenses, Qin Chuan can clearly feel the rapid increase in the opponent's strength.

We must not let this guy take shape!
Qin Chuan glanced at his own stopped time.

According to the previous experience, the opponent was able to exist in the time-stop space because he had somehow counteracted his own time-stop ability.

Just turn on the time stop again...

Qin Chuan was about to use the same trick again, but found that his own time-stopping time did not stop because of the opponent's appearance.

This time, the method used by the other party is different from the last time!
"It's useless. This is the first level of the complete Sky Stage, not the material world. My authority has been restored." A voice that could not be distinguished as male, female, old or young chuckled as it spoke.

"I don't understand what you are saying." Qin Chuan's face darkened and he released the time stop without hesitation.

Qin Chuan felt certain as he watched the gray-black mist that had condensed into half the size of his palm collapse and turn into its original irregular shape the moment it moved around.

He made the right bet.

This guy is incredibly strong, but he is also subject to severe restrictions.

It seems that he can only display the corresponding posture and strength when his own time is stopped.

Apart from the time stop, it was just an ominous aura.

Of course, this is also bad news.

"boom!!!"

Qin Chuan, who took the blow from the statue head-on, flew backwards again. He spread out his blood dragon scales without hesitation, and his armor turned red. A terrifying and dangerous aura rose steadily.

As the angry dragon pattern quickly emerged, Qin Chuan looked at the statue in front of him with a serious expression.

If he stops in time, he will face the coming of the ominous source.

In order to avoid this, Qin Chuan's time stop cannot be used temporarily.

Perhaps even Dirichlet, who crushed the core, did not expect that his method, which was originally just a means to prevent Qin Chuan and Lin Yue from exiting the copy, unexpectedly restrained Qin Chuan's strongest killer weapon.

"Bah-"

A purple lightning flashed, and Lin Yue's figure instantly appeared beside Qin Chuan.

Around her original position, mythical warriors were covered with arcs of electricity, and they fell like dumplings while twitching.

Lin Yue's heart sank after exchanging a glance with Qin Chuan.

Although the reason is unknown, Qin Chuan's special ability that can instantly kill powerful opponents seems to be unable to be used.

"What an amazing power." The statue said calmly, "If I hadn't descended, I'm afraid you would have succeeded."

"However, there is still time to make amends." The statue paused, "Before I kill you two, I need to let you know my name."

"My name is..."

Gray-brown flames suddenly gushed out from all around the statue, and the blazing flames sprayed in all directions, instantly enveloping the sky and earth in a sea of ​​fire.

The rolling heat waves distorted the space, and in the terrifying high temperature that made people's hearts palpitate, a force of despair and death was spreading rapidly.

As it walked out of the sea of ​​fire step by step, the statue's shape had completely changed.

He seemed to have completely turned into flesh and blood, his black hair dancing wildly, a gray-brown robe covering his body, and a pair of wings of gray flames growing from his back.

It was like a demon descending to the world, filled with a terrible sense of oppression.

"The Embers Demon God, Pallius!"

The moment the voice fell, Pallius' body disappeared from the spot in an instant and appeared in front of Qin Chuan. The gray flame gathered in his hand raised high, and then instantly smashed towards Qin Chuan.

"boom!!!"

In just a flash, Qin Chuan was struck by lightning, flew backwards and was swallowed by the sea of ​​fire.

Pallius took another step forward, and his figure disappeared again, appearing in front of Lin Yue. The energy cannon wrapped in gray flames brushed past Lin Yue's side, causing him to raise his eyebrows slightly.

“Interesting player talent.”

Lin Yue, who was almost hit by the attack, suddenly changed color and left without hesitation, putting some distance between herself and Paleus.

"Om-"

The whole world turned dark in an instant, and a figure appeared behind Paleus like a ghost, and a finger with a heart-pounding destructive power instantly pointed at Paleus.

"Snapped!"

In the darkness, Pallius easily grabbed Qin Chuan's hand in the Dark Night Hunting Shadow state, watched the other party instantly turn into a ball of black flame and disappear, and shook his head slightly.

"boom!!!"

The raging sea of ​​fire instantly distorted the space, like a ferocious monster tearing the dark realm apart.

"it's useless."

Looking at Qin Chuan and Lin Yue who reappeared from the sea of ​​fire, Pallius calmly withdrew his hand and pinched his wrist, "All your attacks are meaningless in front of me."

"Because I am at the second level of the mythical stage."

"Even if the power you gain through special means allows you to temporarily reach this level, there is still an essential difference between you and me."

"Mythical level...second realm?" Qin Chuan frowned.

This was the first time he heard of this level, but he was able to make a rough guess from the wording.

This should be the next level after the mythical level in his understanding.

The ordinary mythical level is the first realm.

"That's right." Pallius, who had fully unleashed his power, looked at the two of them leisurely, with a calmness in his eyes like a cat playing with a mouse. "The second level of the Mythology Stage is the target condition for reaching the first level. You can only be promoted to the second level of the Sky Stage after reaching it."

"Compared to the dream world, every time you step onto a new step in the Sky Stairs, you will gain new authority and power."

"You should have seen the first level of authority."

"You are talking about... the ability to accurately control and adjust the limits of your own strength?" Lin Yue suddenly spoke.

"That's right." Pallius smiled slightly, "This is just the most basic permission. As long as you reach the first level, you can obtain it, even if you are not at the myth level."

"But the second stage is different from the first stage." Pallius said softly, "In the second stage of the Sky Stage, all living beings are in the second realm of the Mythology Stage."

"The authority corresponding to the second stage is enough to make a drastic change in strength." As he spoke, Pallius slowly raised his hand, "The time for answering questions and solving problems ends here."

"Bear!!!"

The raging sea of ​​fire subsided in an instant, and only a ball of gray flame the size of a head rose up in Paleius' palm.

Qin Chuan and Lin Yue's expressions became extremely solemn at the same time.

In this ball of fire, they felt a terrifying power far greater than the sea of ​​fire just now.

"I have clearly used my third talent." Lin Yue whispered in a voice that only she and Qin Chuan could hear, "Why hasn't it taken effect yet?"

Qin Chuan held Lin Yue's hand tightly and thought of a countermeasure quickly in his mind.

The so-called second level of the mythical stage was indeed more powerful than he had imagined.

The other party's strength is obviously close to theirs, why...

Suddenly, a light purple force streaked across the sky like a heavy artillery, tearing through the void and bombarding Peleus from afar.

"Is there any help?"

Pallius raised his brows, raised his other hand and grabbed the attack of unknown origin in his palm, then crushed it.

"The power of the Moon Spirit?"

Pallius snorted and looked in the direction of the attack. "Violet Moon High Priest?"

A moon spirit woman in a purple gauze dress slowly appeared in the void outside the battle circle. Her delicate facial features revealed a gentle smile, and purple moonlight appeared behind her like a wheel.

"I'm sorry, Embers Demon God. There were some minor mistakes and deviations in the life magic I was testing. I hope I didn't hurt you."

"You'd better make a mistake at this point." Pallius snorted, "If you do it again, I'll kill you too."

He turned his gaze back to Qin Chuan and Lin Yue, and the rhythm of the gray flame in his raised hands became more and more violent.

"Now, let's continue."

Switching back to the scene of Spirit Descent and Blood Rage, Qin Chuan and Lin Yue looked at each other, and their eyes flickered at the same time.

Just now, the Purple Moon High Priest who suddenly appeared launched an attack at Pallius.

At the moment when Pallius blocked the attack, both of them felt that the power of the terrifying gray flame had dropped by more than 50%.

Although the fluctuation of this power has returned to its peak level at this moment, but...

They have already discovered the clues.

If this is the second-order ability, then everything makes sense.

Why was it that an opponent who they perceived to be of similar strength could suppress them with an almost crushing momentum?

Because the opponent can redistribute attributes instantly.

At the moment of attack, other attributes can be converted into attacks.

At the moment of defense, other attributes can be converted into defense.

This allows the opponent to obtain attributes far superior to the two in some aspect at will, thereby achieving an instant crushing victory.

The final result of momentary crushing is continuous crushing.

The only way to break through the opponent's ability is...

"Split up."

Qin Chuan let go of Lin Yue's hand and spoke softly.

"Okay." Lin Yue disappeared in a flash, and the next moment he distanced himself from Paleus, and fired a heavy artillery filled with terrifying lightning at Paleus.

"Realized?"

Looking at the oncoming energy artillery that was within reach in an instant, Pallius remained calm, and the gray flame in his hand suddenly burst out with terrifying energy.

"It's a pity that it's too late."

The gray flame that had been gathering strength flew towards the sky full of lightning with a flick of Pallius' finger.

The moment the terrifying flame that seemed to be able to burn the void came into contact with the lightning, the lightning disappeared silently. Even thunder could not escape the burning of this flame.

In just a moment, Lin Yue's full-strength attack was annihilated into nothingness.

Just as the Gray Flame was about to continue his action under Paleus' control, suddenly a blood-red afterimage streaked across the sky and instantly collided with Paleus.

"boom!!!"

Pallius raised his hand to block Qin Chuan who was rushing towards him bathed in blood-red light, and the next moment his expression suddenly changed slightly.

A lightning spear instantly pierced through the void, reducing the gray flame's power by half.

As Pallius transferred part of his attributes to defense, the grey flame no longer had the absolute power to crush, and it dimmed the moment the terrifying lightning exploded.

"Get away!!!"

Pallius let out a low roar, instantly blasting Qin Chuan away. At the same time, he raised his hand and the gray flame began to burn again, flying straight towards Lin Yue.

The void twisted in an instant, forming an invisible confinement that locked Lin Yue's body and prevented her from flashing away again.

After realizing that the collaboration between the two was enough to expose a flaw in his impeccable authority, Peleus decided to focus his efforts on dealing with one of them first.

"you dare!"

Qin Chuan's heart tightened, and he slashed at Pallius from a distance without hesitation.

Two streaks of blood appeared on his body and Peleus' body at the same time.

As 20% of Qin Chuan's maximum health disappeared, an equal amount of health damage fell on Pallius.

The Dragon King's furious flaming attack!
Pallius's expression changed slightly, and he instantly raised his health attribute to block the attack.

The power of the gray flame declined again as Qin Chuan took action.

And this time, the power after the decline could not be fully recovered.

The moment Pallius's health points were raised, part of them were cut off by the Dragon King's Fury!

This part of the deficit cannot be converted into attack before the lost health points are restored!
Qin Chuan's eyes lit up.

Sure enough, this guy is definitely not invulnerable.

On the other side, Lin Yue stared at the gray flame that was rapidly enlarging in his field of vision. He quietly clenched the lightning spear in his hand, and the terrifying lightning quickly gathered. He was ready to attack instead of defend.

Suddenly, her expression changed slightly, and an invisible barrier was quietly broken.

It turns out that the third talent effect of Prayer should be here.

Lin Yue's expression suddenly relaxed, and the lightning spear in his hand quietly dissipated.

"Spirit Descent"

The void around him shattered like glass in an instant, and each piece seemed to reflect a whole new world.

Lin Yue's figure exists in every world in the fragments, gathering under the projection of countless fragments, and walking into reality step by step wearing white armor.

She raised high the staff in her hand, which was inlaid with a golden crystal on top, and pointed it at Huiyan.

A gray flame exactly the same as this one instantly appeared and went straight towards it.

At the moment when the two gray flames annihilated each other, Lin Yue whispered the unspoken name of Ling Jiang.

"Golden splendour!"

"you…"

Seeing this scene, Pallius' pupils shrank drastically, and his expression became extremely shocked, "How is it possible..."

That was the most powerful attack he unleashed after transferring almost all of his attributes into attribute power. Even the energy itself could be burned to ashes.

How could the other party display the same ability so easily? !
"Nothing is impossible." A voice came faintly.

Peleus turned around and a fist covered in blood quickly enlarged in his field of vision.

"boom!!!"

With a low roar, Peleus' body instantly flew backwards and landed heavily on the ground below, causing spider-web-like cracks to appear on the ground. Huge rocks were lifted up along the cracks, and the instantaneous impact force raised endless smoke and dust.

"Finally I can beat you up." Qin Chuan clenched his fists, feeling the surging power around him, his scarlet eyes filled with ferocity.

The theories related to the psychic system are extremely abstract, and even Lin Yue cannot fully grasp them at the first time. Therefore, although she and Xiaobai had a 100% favorability rate more than a month ago, she has never been able to comprehend the complete mystery and master the ability of spirit descent.

Now, with the blessing of the third talent of prayer and the pressure from Pallius, this threshold has finally been crossed.

Lin Yue's mastery of Xiaobai's spiritual descent has extremely unusual significance for both of them.

Because Xiaobai and Xiaohei have their own exclusive entry [Dragonborn].

[Dragonborn: When there is a spirit beast with the [Dragonborn] attribute nearby, the racial value increases by 50%]

This ability can also be triggered when the spirit descends, and what is increased is no longer the racial value, but the extraordinary value.

Originally in the state of spiritual descent, the two people's extraordinary values ​​had already exceeded 20 million. With the further blessing of the Dragonborn, their extraordinary values ​​directly exceeded 30 million.

The disadvantages that existed when facing Peleus no longer existed.

Looking at Pallius struggling to fly out of the smoke and dust, Qin Chuan snorted, flashed, and instantly appeared in front of the opponent, and punched him again.

"boom!"

"boom!!"

"boom!!!"

Under the continuous rapid attacks, Pallius's breath quickly declined until it became undetectable.

Qin Chuan flashed and grabbed the neck of the nearly broken Pallius with one hand, lifting him up from the shattered ground. "A little late? How late?"

“You…” Pallius’ expression was a little ferocious, “Human race, even if you destroy this body, you can’t hurt my true self at all.”

"Do you think this is my strength?"

"This is just part of the power I can bring down due to my limitations at the first level."

"I will wait for you at the second stage. The moment you step onto it, you will die."

Lin Yue folded her dragon wings and landed beside Qin Chuan, saying calmly, "You are not our opponent now, but when we reach the second step of the Sky Steps, you will not be our opponent either."

Qin Chuan frowned slightly.

What Peleus said was true, this was just the temporary body of the opponent, and it could not cause much harm to him, at most it would cause a relatively large loss.

After all, a body like this must not be cheap to build.

Just let the other party be so arrogant and make harsh remarks like this?

He was just planning to think of a way to make the other party pay a painful price, but he saw that Pallius, who had shown arrogance and disdain in the previous second, suddenly looked terrified.

"K…Krai?!"

His voice was suddenly filled with fear, and a faint blue color between his eyebrows quickly expanded and turned into a blue crescent moon.

At the moment when the crescent emblem bloomed, Peleus' body turned into ashes.

Qin Chuan stood there in a daze, looking at the few crumbs left on his hands.

Krai?
He turned his head sharply and looked around, searching for the figure in his memory.

"Lady Krai is not here." A voice floated over, and the Purple Moon Priest approached from a distance, looking at Qin Chuan and the others with a smile, "Don't try to find her trace."

"Except for me, the last of the nine high priests, the other eight high priests are all at the second level."

"What about that power just now?" Qin Chuan couldn't help but ask.

"Lord Krayi attacked the Ember Demon God himself." The Purple Moon High Priest still kept smiling. "It is extremely difficult for a second-level mythical realm to project power from the second level to the first level."

"During this process, the Ember Demon God's body will fall into an unprecedented period of weakness."

"As long as we find and kill the Ember Demon God, his projection will also collapse due to the loss of its power source."

"This is the intimidation and attitude of our Yueling clan." The voice of the Purple Moon Priest became more serious. "We will never allow the second level to descend upon the first level and affect the strategy of the SSS-level dungeon."

Krai attacked Pallius in the second stage, causing the demon god of the second stage to be deleted on the spot?

Qin Chuan was digesting the huge amount of information and it took him a long time to recover.

"Thank you." Lin Yue, who was standing by, gently pulled Qin Chuan's hand and looked at the Purple Moon Priest, "What's your name?"

"Purple Moon High Priestess Marcia." Marcia smiled slightly.

"Thank you for your help just now, Marcia." Lin Yue said softly, "If it weren't for your reminder, we might not have discovered the truth about Pallius's ability."

"It was just a coincidence." Marcia said softly, "I happened to be not far from here, so I was able to help you."

"Besides, what I did didn't count."

"You humans have just come into contact with the Sky Steps, so you may suffer from information asymmetry in some matters. Once you are truly familiar with this place, it will be fine even if you don't need my help."

"No matter what, I still want to thank you." Qin Chuan came back to his senses and said, "Can I ask why other races are so against us humans?"

"And...why did the Moon Spirit Clan help the human race?"

"This question is related to the most fundamental rules of the Sky Stairs." Marcia said softly.

"In your real world, the so-called world update and dream world suddenly appeared one day. Then, with each update, the power of the dream world gradually affected the real world, and finally the copy came, right?"

"That's right." Qin Chuan nodded, feeling a little surprised.

Marcia felt just like she was living on the Blue Planet in the past.

"No surprises, because every race here has had similar experiences." Marcia paused slightly, "The only difference is the power in the dream world."

"Every real world has its own dream world rules and power system."

“The racial divide has a lot to do with this.”

"Every thousand years, a whole new race appears and the world is renewed."

Qin Chuan's pupils shrank slightly.

Although he had guessed this from the few words revealed by Dalesai before, he was still shocked to get the confirmation from Marcia.

Choose a race every thousand years to update the world?
It's as if a hand is turning the wheel of fate, just for the sake of enjoying some fun.

and many more…

The Moon Spirit Clan seems to have a history of nearly ten thousand years, so why are there only six races on the Steps of the Sky today?

As if seeing Qin Chuan's doubts, Marcia sighed slightly.

"Not every race has the ability to eventually ascend to the Sky Steps."

"In the past ten thousand years, three races have failed."

"Two of them failed to survive the dungeon stage. They were invaded by the half-demon clan and the dead ghost clan respectively and the origin of the world was taken away."

"The origin of the world has been taken away. The corresponding material world will no longer revive extraordinary power. The original vitality will also be greatly reduced, and the environment will become harsh."

"For the races that obtain the origin of the world, the material world will further expand, and the extraordinary powers they can possess will increase accordingly, making it easier for extraordinary people to appear."

"Half-demons and ghosts are currently the most numerous races on the Sky Steps."

"Then...what about the failed race?" Lin Yue asked subconsciously.

"That race..." Marcia paused for a moment, "They climbed the steps to the sky, but lost the 'gatekeeper', which eventually led to the collapse of the dream world and the disappearance of all extraordinary powers."

"Although it is better than the previous two races, it still has no chance of reaching the Sky Stage in the end."

"'Gatekeeper'?" Qin Chuan raised his eyebrows, "What is that?"

"The condition for your next world update should be that you are the first player to break through the myth, right?" Marcia asked instead of answering, "After the next update, you will be qualified to ascend to the Sky Steps."

"The update announcement will tell you what the 'gatekeeper' is when the time comes."

"The only thing I can remind you of is one thing."

“Before you break through the myth, please be sure to be fully prepared.”

"That's a bit off topic." Marcia shook her head and laughed, "The reason why other races are targeting you is very simple."

"Because all the races on the Sky Steps are in competition."

"Every ten thousand years, a racial war will occur at the Sky Steps."

"The race that reaches the steps of the sky will compete for the sole winner in this battle."

"The winner will receive 'God's Smile'." Marcia paused for a moment, "You don't need to ask me what 'God's Smile' is."

“No one can answer that question.”

"Only the true winner is qualified to know."

“But many races on the Sky Steps speculate that it is related to immortality.”

"Eternal life..." Qin Chuan was slightly stunned.

It turns out that this is the ultimate goal that many races of the Sky Stage desire?
At this moment, he finally understood why almost all races wanted humans to fail.

Because the human race failed to ascend to the steps of the sky, they lost a competitor.

"So, what's the outcome for losers?"

Marcia looked at Qin Chuan and spoke softly after a moment.

"Genocide."

"Exterminate the clan?!" Lin Yue's pretty face turned pale for a moment, and then she suddenly looked at Mashia, "Then why did Yue Ling help us?"

"Don't you mind having another competitor?"

"Of course we don't mind." Marcia was speechless, "Because we are the first race to ascend the steps of the sky."

"In order to avoid destroying the hopes of all subsequent races to ascend to the Sky Steps, and to directly achieve the final victory in the race war ten thousand years later, and to ensure that enough races participate in this war, we have a special right and corresponding obligation."

"This right is: If the Moon Spirit Clan loses the race war, they will only lose all their supernatural abilities, but they will not be exterminated."

"And the corresponding obligation is: the Moon Spirit Clan must do its utmost to help every subsequent race to ascend to the steps of the sky."
