Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 292 [The Arm of Power, Has Evolved]

In the extreme weather at the mountain peak, Shi Ming used his superb defensive capabilities and immunity to ice and snow to forcibly resist the low temperature and secondary blades.

He patiently awaited good news from Ah Jian.

Finally, "Gold Digger" Ah Jian pulled out a new broken branch from inside the mountain again. This time, the mental restructuring took longer than the previous two times, and the broken branch was also heavier and larger.

The red markings on Shi Ming's right arm grew even more intense.

It seems that the accumulated amount of Temple-level creature remains is enough to allow the Arm of Power to undergo a qualitative change.

Resources must be quickly converted into combat power!

The three branches of the Creation Pillar floated in front of Shi Ming, taken over by his spiritual power, which he intended to absorb to help his physical skills evolve again. Meanwhile, A Jian probed the depths of the mountain with her spiritual power, intercepting more of the temple's remains.

This is an extremely scarce resource; the more the better.

Shi Ming's right arm glowed with crimson markings. He stretched out his arm, unwrapped his spiritual energy, and touched the broken branch remnant rich in life force with his palm. Unlike the previous two times, the power of the Creation Pillar was relatively gentle, lacking the eeriness of the Abyss Lord and the impetuousness of the Great Black Dragon. It was like a warm breeze and gentle rain, a surging spring tide. The warm and gentle power flowed through Shi Ming's right hand and was frantically absorbed by the crimson markings on his right arm.

Every cell began to cheer with joy.

It was like a starving beast tasting tempting food again!

The evolution of physical skills does not take too long.

Quantitative change leads to qualitative change, and qualitative change can happen in an instant.

Shi Ming felt his mind was sharper, his eyes were clearer, and his arms were stronger! The biggest change this time was undoubtedly in his arms. This advancement was very miraculous, yet it didn't put any strain on his body; it was like he was enjoying himself.

The moment the evolution was successful, the information appeared directly in my mind and flashed before my eyes.

This is a perception of oneself, and has no connection whatsoever with the strange things on Mount Everest. Therefore, it will not be blocked and turned into an incomprehensible black cube.

The Arm of Power has evolved.

[The Arm of Conquest is now activated.]

【…】

Your right arm has evolved into an arm of conquest!

[The right arm that rules over all things!]

The conqueror of all power!

Like other body parts, the Arm of Conquest inherits the abilities of the Arm of Strength, allowing it to temporarily increase the strength and attack power of the right arm tenfold, clearing away all obstacles on the path to conquest.

After evolution, your right arm gains the power of "Conquest," allowing you to forcibly "conquer" one skill cast on you by another creature in daily life or combat. This conquered skill will have no effect on you and will be "turned" to your side, stored in the crimson markings of your right arm, becoming your tool.

[You can unleash it within three minutes, granting a 10x bonus!!!]

[We will treat all "surrendered soldiers" with the same 10x buff!]

Isn't it super cool?

However, it's important to note that conquering power far exceeding one's own strength comes at a price.

This makes perfect sense.

[The Arm of Conquest can indeed help you forcibly conquer power beyond your own level, allowing you to unleash Holy Temple skills with 10 times the power of your S-rank physique and become the conqueror of all power! However, you need to understand that apart from the Arm of Conquest itself, your other body parts are not sufficient to withstand a 10-fold increase in power beyond your level. Therefore, indulging in excessively powerful strength will cause internal tearing in your body, with side effects similar to using the Undefeated War God 108 times!]

Shi Ming blinked, and the writing disappeared. Powerful!
Very strong!

They truly deserve the name of conquerors!

In short, the Arm of Conquest can now absorb and store an enemy's skill, and return it back at a rate of 10 times.

It sounds similar to the mechanism of the Xuanwu Shield, but compared to the Xuanwu Shield, the Arm of Conquest can only conquer skills and cannot be immune to damage caused by the environment, cannonballs, or physical strength. It is not as good as the Xuanwu Shield in terms of defense, but its return power has a 10x bonus and can be freely selected to release, giving an eye for an eye, making it more aggressive.

The cooling-off period is also longer.

It can only be used once every three days.

What surprised Shi Ming the most was that as long as he could bear the side effects, he could advance tenfold!
Conquer all power!
For example, if Shi Ming, with the power of an S-class Awakened, were to fight against the Abyss Lord, he could seize the opportunity and use the Arm of Conquest to forcibly conquer the Abyss Lord's "Extreme Evil Sanctuary," storing the Extreme Evil Sanctuary in the crimson markings on his right arm. He could then retaliate against the Abyss Lord with an Extreme Evil Sanctuary ten times stronger within three minutes. However, inevitably, his other body parts would not be able to withstand such immense power and would shatter and tear apart. This kind of internal disintegration could not be prevented by the Xuanwu Shield.

But they should be able to be resurrected by putting them in a life-or-death situation.

If possible, then the side effects can be perfectly avoided.

This is yet another classic example of 1+1>2!
Shi Ming happily collected the blood and three broken branches from the Creation Pillar, which had been drained of its power.

These can all be reused.

For the next two hours, A-Jian became a tireless gold miner, digging out new remnants of the Heavenly Pillar for Shi Ming, while Shi Ming became a highly defensive human fortress, helping A-Jian withstand the occasional mountain-top secondary blade. The two of them freely plucked the branches of the fallen Holy Temple-level sea beast. Although something terrifying was brewing inside, it didn't matter, as their mental strength was very strong and their movements were very discreet.

Such a good opportunity must be seized.

We need to stockpile at least 30 to 40 kilograms of temple materials! Just in case we run out of supplies later!
……

……

……

Above the snow line.

As Rong Bing climbed the frigid summit of Mount Everest, he would occasionally unleash the domineering power within him, pick up his instruments, and thoroughly survey the surrounding environment.

During the intermission, the safety level of Mount Everest is greatly improved, and his royal power can also withstand occasional damage. The physical fitness of an S-class awakened person, combined with the high-end equipment equipped by Yu the Great, can also withstand such extreme cold.

The exploration is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Unfortunately, nothing was found.

"Ugh!"

"Did the Holy Temple really fall in this place? We have absolutely no clues or leads! We haven't found any other Snow Peak Green either. I wonder how the others are doing. Speaking of which, we don't need to worry about Jiuyuan. It's Shiming's first time exploring Mount Everest. I wonder if he will encounter any difficulties."

The three agreed that every hour, they would send a special signal via a short-range communicator to let each other know they were safe.

We've been exploring for four hours now, and everything is going smoothly.

Li Jiuyuan was also searching the area he was responsible for.

He has a very strong sense of conviction.

With three top experts on the mission, how could this exploration possibly end in failure?
There will inevitably be a reward that matches the effort.

The only question is, who will be the first to discover this discovery?
