Chapter 1207 The Importance of External Artifacts

Second-hand equipment? What's there to mind?

Isn't what I'm using right now Wuzhiqi's natal artifact, the Divine River Song?

Indeed, armor will wear and tear during combat, but for a specialist, repairing the damage to armor is not a difficult task.

Take, for example, the set of divine equipment of the Ancient Buddha of the Spiritual Enlightenment that has just fallen in front of me.

Lingming Ancient Buddha was indeed besieged and killed by the snake clan in his own secret realm.

However, his equipment did not suffer much damage. Lin Yi only needed to spend a little time and effort on equipment repair to completely restore the set of equipment in a short time, making it indistinguishable from brand new equipment.

How could Lin Yi dislike such good things when they were second-hand?

Equipment, only divine artifacts have self-awareness and can choose their own master. As for equipment below divine artifacts, whether it is epic, legendary, or even mythical equipment, they do not have self-thought and do not have the ability to distinguish their master.

There's nothing you can do; if someone steals your personal protective equipment, you can only say that person doesn't deserve it.

Lin Yi inherited the equipment in front of him without any loss, so what could he possibly complain about?

"What's wrong with secondhand items? If you don't say anything and I don't say anything, who will know that these items are secondhand?"

Lin Yi chuckled and glared at the old man Gongshu, then used his All-Seeing Eye to scan the equipment in front of him.

It didn't matter if he didn't scan, but once he did, Lin Yile was overjoyed.

The Void Observer set consists of six pieces: [Void Observer's Scepter]

Void Observer Chestplate

Void Observer's Belt

Void Observer Bottoms

Void Observer Necklace

Void Observer Bracelet

These six pieces of equipment form a set effect.

Two-piece set effect: All your attacks have a 30% chance to "transform" through the target, dealing 200% damage that ignores defense, while you become untargetable for 1 second.

四件套效果：暴击率固定为100%，但暴击伤害随机波动（50%-1000%）。每次暴击时，有10%概率触发「观测者效应」：直接删除目标当前生命值的50%（BOSS限1次）。

Six-piece set effect: Gain one stack of "Void Mark" for each enemy killed. Consuming 5 stacks of marks can unleash "Dimensional Strike", permanently turning all enemies within a 10-meter radius into images (unable to move, losing 10% of their health per second).

If we only consider one-on-one combat, the four-piece set is practical enough.

But Lin Yi can't just focus on one-on-one fights. What he needs to do is not as simple as dealing with a single person. When the final battle arrives, the effect of the six-piece set will definitely be very important.

The Ancient Buddha of Spiritual Enlightenment, who fought in this secret realm, clearly took this into account.

According to the little white snake, when Lingming Ancient Buddha was fighting in the secret realm, he initially used his own natal artifact as his main weapon and did not trigger the effect of the six-piece Void Observer set.

With the perfect synergy between his divine artifact and himself, as well as its powerful effects, the Ancient Buddha of Spiritual Enlightenment truly posed a considerable threat to the Serpent Clan.

Unfortunately, the snake race lives in a place where the concentration of source energy is many times greater than that of the Heavenly Dao in the Colorless Realm, so their strength is not to be underestimated.

The weaker members of the snake clan could be killed, or even instantly killed, by the powerful effects of his natal artifact. But the stronger members of the snake clan were a different story.

The scales covering their entire bodies were extremely hard, and even the various attacks from Lingming Ancient Buddha and the powerful figures of Lingdu Mountain had little effect on them.

Even the set effects of equipment will be reduced by the primordial power and divine power it possesses, failing to achieve the desired effect.

For the sake of Lingdu Mountain's future, Lingming Ancient Buddha didn't have time to think too much. He could only put away his natal artifact and use the six-piece set effect of the Void Observer set to kill the weaker snake clan members, using the set effect to counterbalance the stronger members.

Initially, the snake race did not realize how much of a threat the special effects of the six-piece set of equipment would pose to their race. At that time, they did not take the change of equipment by the Spirit Buddha seriously.

It wasn't until the high-level powerhouses in the snake clan experienced significant impairment to their mobility and began inexplicably losing percentages of their health that the snake clan realized something was wrong.

No matter how powerful the equipment is, it has little effect in the face of absolute strength.

Even the strongest fists cannot fight against overwhelming odds, and the Ancient Buddha Lingming ultimately perished as expected under the siege of the snake clan.

This battle of the Ancient Buddha Lingming illustrates a very crucial point.

That is, how should the equipment owner choose between the effects of a six-piece set or a four-piece set?

The effect of a six-piece set is undoubtedly more powerful than that of a four-piece set.

The powerful effects of one's destined artifact cannot be ignored. Only by making reasonable trade-offs between these two effects can one unleash greater power in battle.

Is there anyone who can get the benefits without having to choose between these six pieces of equipment or their signature artifact?

Of course there are! They are the top experts in the Three Realms and Six Paths.

Wuzhiqi was one of them.

His signature artifact is an external artifact. External artifacts do not occupy equipment slots, and they can unleash the full power of his signature artifact while activating the effects of the six-piece set.

This is why external artifacts are so coveted.

Aside from the fact that external artifacts possess their own consciousness and can fight alongside their master, the most important benefit is that they don't have to give up the powerful effects of the six-piece set or the owner's artifact.

Moreover, with external artifacts, there's no need to worry about the quantity. As long as you have enough of your own artifacts, you can add as many as you want.

At this moment, Wuzhiqi, within the sea of ​​consciousness, began to gloat.

"How about that, kid? Now you know how awesome I am. It's no exaggeration to say that if Lingming Ancient Buddha's natal artifact were an external artifact, his fate might have been rewritten."

"With the powerful effects of a natal artifact and the set bonus of a six-piece divine equipment set, the snakes here might not even be qualified to contend with it."

Lin Yi did not deny Wu Zhiqi's words.

He personally experienced the principle that a small mistake can lead to a huge difference.

Witnessing this vivid example made Lin Yi even more determined about one thing: no matter what, he had to create his own external artifact.

Even if it is very difficult to accomplish this task, more difficult than anything he has ever done before, he will do everything he can to achieve this goal.

Having made up his mind, Lin Yi turned his attention to the fully upgraded six-piece set of equipment of the Lingming Ancient Buddha.

The All-Seeing Eye is amazing; when you encounter unclaimed equipment, it almost instantly reveals the equipment's effects.
