This is a cultivation game, but the operation is bad

Chapter 260 Give me some face, let me off the hook, OK?
Why can't I, ranked 18th overall, surpass 69th?
Why is his damage higher than mine?!
I don’t accept it!
Wan Wulong gritted his teeth; the brief exchange of a dozen or so rounds had left him extremely frustrated, and his face was very ugly.

Especially when he saw that Jiang Liulian hadn't even used his invincible skill and he was already at a disadvantage, he was furious and felt that his dignity had been insulted.

When fighting Wang Chongtai, you have to use a two-minute invincibility skill, but you don't even need to use a one-second invincibility skill against me. What does that mean?
You look down on me, don't you?
hateful!

I'm a solid 18th on the overall list!
"Kid! Don't be so arrogant!"

Wan Wulong roared and erupted, his endless demonic energy surging out like a tidal wave and dispersing into the Black Moon Phenomenon!
"Dark Annihilation Supreme Body! Dark Annihilation Death Touch!"

The top 20 players on the power ranking in Zone 1 all have at least two max-level limited-time pool items.

Max-level spiritual root and max-level physique are necessities; without them, it's impossible to become a top player.

Among top players, the first limited-time pool item at max level is usually a top-tier spiritual root.

The reason is simple: it's cheap and affordable.

Buy all the limited-edition spirit roots, and then combine the attributes of those limited-edition spirit roots with constitution-related items and skills. This is the most basic way to play.

In the first area, the first limited-time double-up pool is for Light Spirit Root and Dark Spirit Root. As anyone who has played mobile games knows, Light and Dark represent nobility.

After the first double-up limited spirit root, the first double-up limited constitution is Light Constitution and Dark Constitution.

Holy Light Divine Body, Dark Annihilation Demonic Body!
The effect is even greater when paired with light and dark spiritual roots!
Almost without exception, the righteous players in Zone 1 chose the combination of Light Spiritual Root and Holy Light Divine Body, while the demonic players chose the combination of Dark Spiritual Root and Dark Annihilation Demonic Body.

As for the limited spiritual roots and limited physiques that are obtained by chance, they are only used to add attributes and are hardly ever used.

Dark Annihilation Supreme Form!
This is the second max-level limited pool item in Wanwulong, a super trump card that was only fully drawn after a rerun!
Don't assume that just because he's ranked 18th in the overall rankings of the first region, he'll have several max-level limited-time items. That's impossible.

A max-level limited spiritual root costs 1500 million spirit stones, and a max-level limited physique costs 2300 million spirit stones.

These two max-level limited pool items alone cost 3800 million spirit stones. What kind of player can afford that?
The server has been open for two years and seven months, and more than twenty rounds of limited-time pools of all sizes have been opened. Even if you try to get a share of the pools, it will cost 1 million spirit stones.

One billion spiritual stones!
Who can pull it out?
You get 5 spirit stones for signing in every day, and you can get 2000 million spirit stones after signing in for 1 million days!
In the vast world, you can only grind monsters, and even a single elite monster boss only drops a dozen or so spirit stones!

Given this level of spirit stone production, how many years would it take to accumulate 1 million spirit stones?

Moreover, in the world of cultivation, limited-time pools are just one aspect of the pay-to-win system; there are countless other pay-to-win items.

If drawing one item from each of the limited-time pools requires over 100 million spirit stones, how many 100 million spirit stones would be needed to draw all of them?

Jiang Liu had previously worried that the top players in Zone 1 had too many max-level limited-time items, making it impossible to defeat them.

Such concerns are arguably unfounded.

His own understanding of money had been completely shattered by the 0.1 discount, and he had no idea what the concept of hundreds of millions of spirit stones meant.

That's the concept of hundreds of millions of spirit stones!
Too many max-level limited-time pool items?
You're overthinking it. Players who can use two max-level limited-time items are already top-tier players.

In the Chinese server, there is only one player who has spent all their money!
Limited-time pool items, premium packs, event spending, attribute purchases, etc., only one player can buy all the items that can increase combat power.

Even Yang Zhongguo, who has the support of the state, and Ye Longying, who has the support of Taiye City, have to consider the cost-effectiveness when they see content that requires in-game purchases.

It's not that I can't afford it, it's that I really can't bear to waste money!

There's only one person in the world who would blindly buy anything that requires in-game purchases without considering cost-effectiveness, and who would spend 2 million spirit stones in a single battle.

Jiang Liu's popularity with the game developers is well-deserved, given that he buys all content that requires in-game purchases.

Unlike Jiang Liu, who has a full set of max-level limited pool items, Wan Wulong has more than twenty limited pool items, but only two of them are at max level.

Dark Spiritual Root, Dark Annihilation Supreme Body!
Now, he has unleashed his power, unleashing the strongest active effect of the Dark Annihilation Supreme Body!

"Five Elements Revolving Sword!"

After Jiang Liu delivered another sword strike, he suddenly sensed that something was wrong with his surroundings.

Within the dimly lit Black Moon Domain, the demonic energy grew increasingly dense, emanating an extremely strong aura of danger from all directions, causing his heart to pound and his subconscious vigilance to rise.

Annihilation Death Touch?

What skill is this?
next second.

A black light, almost invisible to the naked eye, shot out from the space and pierced Jiang Liu's body without giving him any time to react.

[You have been attacked by Annihilation's Death Touch, which adds one stack of the 'Death Touch' effect, reducing your attack power by 10%. When the Death Touch effect stacks to 100, you will trigger an instant death mechanism and die immediately.]

Jiang Liu: “????”

What the fuck?

Instant kill skill?
After hearing the system's voice in his mind, Jiang Liu was first stunned, then his face paled with shock.

What a piece of trash game! It even has an instant-death mechanic. Isn't that just breaking the balance?
Just as he was stunned, another black beam shot out from the space and pierced his body before he even had a chance to react.

[You have been attacked by Annihilation Death Touch, which adds one stack of the 'Death Touch' effect, reducing your defense by 10%. When the Death Touch effect stacks to 100, you will trigger an instant death mechanism and die immediately.]

[You have been attacked by Annihilation's Death Touch, which adds one stack of the 'Death Touch' effect, reducing your movement speed by 3%. When the Death Touch effect stacks to 100, you will trigger an instant death mechanism and die immediately.]

The Annihilation Death Touch attacked Jiang Liu once per second, making it impossible to defend against or dodge!

At this rate, he'll be dead in just 100 seconds!
Annihilation Touch doesn't just have an instant death effect; its most important effect is adding negative status effects!
One attack adds one debuff; one hundred attacks result in one hundred debuffs!

These one hundred debuffs are enough to significantly reduce Jiang Liu's combat power!

This is the effect of max-level limited physique!

Horror!
"Hahahaha! You think you're the only one with a trump card!"

Seeing Jiang Liu's expression change and his rapid, relentless attack stop, Wan Wulong breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

One hundred debuffs!

You'll be dead in a hundred seconds!
Let's see what you have to brag about now!

The strongest active effect of the Dark Destroyer Ultimate is amazing, but it also has many limitations.

The instant-death mechanism is ineffective against boss-type monsters, and also ineffective against players whose level is higher than the player's.

Fortunately, Jiang Liu is neither.

He only needs to hold out for a hundred seconds, and then he can wait for the river to naturally perish.

"Oh?"

Jiang Liu raised an eyebrow, regaining his composure from his initial surprise. He looked at the smug Wan Wulong and said calmly, "So what if it's an instant-death mechanism? Just use an invincibility skill to block it when it's triggered, right?"

He has many invincibility talismans; negating an instant-death mechanism wouldn't be a piece of cake for him.
Hearing Jiang Liu's words, Wan Wulong's smug expression grew even stronger, and he sarcastically remarked, "You wouldn't be able to break through the limitation of a physique costing tens of millions of spirit stones so easily, would you?"

"An invincibility skill negates the instant-death mechanism? Good, that's a clever trick, but not much."

"You've only negated a single instant death. As long as the 100 stacks of 'Death Touch' effect are still active, you're doomed! Unless you can remain invincible forever, hahaha!"

Is this Death Touch buff the key?
Jiang Liu glanced at the Death Touch effect, which had already stacked to 7 in the buff bar, frowned slightly, and then raised his hand to summon a giant lotus flower!
A Pure Lotus of the Fifth Rank!
The fifth-grade pure lotus descended with purifying light, sprinkling it upon Jiang Liu's physical body.

But it had no effect!
"Are you kidding me?" Wan Wulong's heart skipped a beat when he saw the giant lotus of purification above Jiang Liu's head, but he almost burst out laughing when he realized the grade of the equipment.

"A mystical artifact? You actually used a mystical artifact to purify the effects of a max-level, limited physique?"

"Don't even mention mystical artifacts, not even high-grade spiritual artifacts will do, this is a paid item!"

Jiang Liu: “.”

Paid items are simply overpowered!
He also possessed an item that could add or subtract buffs, called the Myriad Transformations Mirror, a high-grade spiritual artifact.

However, you can only add one buff to yourself per minute, and you can only add 10 debuffs to the enemy after copying 10 enemy buffs, which is extremely limiting.

A buff that lasts one minute versus a debuff that lasts one second – that's the difference between paid and free items!

You'll definitely die in a hundred seconds; the invincibility charm can only buy you time.
What should I do?
Then forget about shipping it, just get to work!
"The stars have changed!"

"Five Elements Revolving Sword!"

After a brief hesitation, Jiang Liu launched another fierce attack, his attack speed even three points faster than before!
His Spirit of the Dark Rain was also fully stacked!
The battle is over in 100 seconds. Once the enemy is killed, no more black rays will shoot out. It's that simple!

"Five Elements Revolving Sword!"

Wan Wulong sensed the surging killing intent emanating from Jiang Liu, and the smug look on his face vanished instantly, replaced by an extremely gloomy expression.

He guessed Jiang Liu's thoughts, and felt both angry and frustrated.

"Kill me in a hundred seconds? Don't underestimate me!"

"Dark Body!"

"Divine Calamity Dark Annihilation Slash!"

The gunfight has begun again!
Despite enduring a host of debuffs, Jiang Liu relentlessly attacked Wan Wulong, his offensive growing ever faster and showing no signs of slowing down.

At the same time, he also summoned the Five Spirits Sword Formation and the Bloodthirsty Sword Formation to his side.

Seventeen mysterious swords circled around him, attacking automatically and constantly blocking the black light coming from outside the space.

Although it could only withstand a small portion of the Death Touch attacks, it was enough.

Close range, strike!

Get close, then strike!
The two were only a few dozen meters apart. Jiang Liu, wielding the Azure Blood Hundred Slaughter Sword, advanced step by step, slashing and striking, while Wan Wulong, wielding the Black Blade, retreated step by step, counterattacking and striking back!

Ding Ding Ding Ding!
In an instant, more than a dozen rounds of attacks erupted, their five elements of spiritual energy and demonic energy intertwining throughout the entire teaching building. The aftershocks were like a boulder falling into a lake, splashing up violent ripples that continued unabated.

The two of them spun around like tops inside the teaching building, leaving deep marks on the ground.

Jiang Liu didn't want to leave the area covered by the Mingyu Corrosion Spirit, and Wan Wulong didn't want to leave the area covered by the Black Moon Phenomenon either. It was clearly a battle between a Golden Core expert and a Nascent Soul nobody, but the battlefield was kept confined to just one building.

The school building suffered a pain it shouldn't have had to endure, and finally collapsed with a roar twenty seconds later!
A building that was a thousand meters high and whose toilets were hundreds of square meters in size was simply destroyed by Jiang Liu and Wan Wulong!
This attack power far exceeds that of ordinary Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators!
Its destructive power is enough to turn an area of ​​several miles into ruins in minutes!
The collapse of the giant building was so loud that it shook the entire large resource point. Players searching for resources throughout Tianbing Elementary School clearly heard the loud noise and instinctively turned their heads to look.

Smoke and dust filled the sky, and gravel fell like a rain of stars!
"Who was fighting whom, and they actually managed to collapse a building?"

"With such power, could it be that Zhao Yaozhu and Wan Wulong are fighting?"

"Should we go help?"

"Are we going to our deaths?"

"The most important thing now is to find the gold resources. Wan Wulong is ranked one place lower than Zhao Yaozhu, so there is no need to worry about Zhao Yaozhu's safety."

"makes sense."

I'm sorry!

Why is he getting more and more ferocious as he fights?
Amidst the falling boulders, Wan Wulong appeared extremely disheveled, retreating step by step, his gaze fixed on the ever-growing Jiang Liu, his heart filled with horror.

Even though the Death Touch effect has already given him more than twenty debuffs, why is his attack still so fierce and why is his attack power still so high?

This is unreasonable!

Jiang Liu slashed down, his blood rushing to his head, his adrenaline surging!
Any enemy whose attack power is lower than his is just a wooden stake in his eyes!

The Spirit Erosion skill is fully stacked, the combo damage is fully stacked, the Blood Battle Invincibility is triggered, and the Myriad Transformations Mirror adds further buffs!
He grew stronger with each battle, and the longer the fight went on, the fiercer his attacks became!

Previously, ranking 21st on the leaderboard required transforming into a true phoenix.

Now, the number 18 on the overall leaderboard doesn't need to use any trump cards!
Even fake combat power is still combat power!
Jiang Liu fought with increasing ferocity, his sword strikes soaring to the sky. Every strike left a deep gash a thousand meters long in the ground, and he slashed through the ground of the teaching building!

Jiang Liu's murderous aura was fierce and overwhelming, while Wan Wulong was somewhat weakened.

He really couldn't hold on this time!

Why not use Annihilation Death Touch from the beginning?

Because Dark Death Touch will continuously consume a large amount of demonic energy!
Black Moon Phenomenon and Annihilation Death Touch are both skills that continuously consume mana.

With the continuous use of Divine Calamity Annihilation Slash and Dark Body, as well as the debuff from the Spirit Erosion of the Nether Rain, his demonic energy has reached its limit!
Black Moon Phenomenon, Annihilation Death Touch, Divine Tribulation Annihilation Slash, Dark Body Cover – these are the skills Wan Wulong is continuously using.

Jiang Liu, on the other hand, was only using the Star Shift and Five Elements Revolving Sword techniques.

Given the obvious difference in strength, Wan Wulong would need to expend several times more mana than Jiang Liu to withstand Jiang Liu's offensive!
After a while, he couldn't hold on any longer!

I couldn't even last a hundred seconds?

Feeling the depletion of demonic energy within his body, Wan Wulong's face showed disbelief, and his gaze towards Jiang Liu was filled with shock.

Where did this guy come from?!

No, no, I can't die here!
Wan Wulong was anxious. He was a player from Zone 1 and only had four lives. If he died here, it would be extremely detrimental to his chances of winning the employment contract later.

We can't die, we have to retreat!

"and many more!"

While tightening his defenses, Wan Wulong shouted anxiously at Jiang Liu, "OK, OK, you won, okay? The golden resources are yours, and this large resource point belongs to your Taiyao tribe. I'll concede, okay?"

"Give our city lord some face and stop, okay?"

Jiang Liu: "?"

"The Five Elements Revolve Sword, Sword, Sword, Sword, Sword!"

"what!"

Eighteenth on the overall combat power ranking, dead!

What the hell are you talking about?
