Chapter 1552: Chapter 1552
After selecting the target, the next step is a new round of advancement. With a large number of Law Crystals to freely choose and absorb, the speed feels like riding a roller coaster. It’s truly exhilarating.
With the help of the Skill Hall, advancing new skills now is a matter of days.
Du You has forgotten about everything outside, focusing all attention on self-improvement. After several days, the new skill Soul Pierce finally advanced.
Soul Pierce: Concentrate Spiritual Power to form a soul spear, piercing the enemy’s soul. Insufficient soul power will cause instant death. The soul spear ignores general magical and gear defenses, with reduced effect on enemies understanding Soul Law. Comes with a soul tracking effect. (Level 61, 10 Star)
From the effect, it’s clear this is a purely offensive skill.
Attacking directly at the soul, rather than physically, this skill can be considered very niche. That is, before tier seven, after tier seven all skills rely on Laws to exert effects, so the term niche doesn’t apply anymore.
However, this skill remains powerful. It penetrates the enemy’s spirit directly, making even a tier seven combatant fear it. Because soul wounds are much harder to recover from than physical injuries.
Moreover, soul damage is extremely dangerous; a single mistake could severely injure or even kill a tier seven combatant.
The critical point is, usual defenses can be directly ignored. Du You experimented, and found that even defenses with law effects can be largely ignored by Soul Pierce, producing stronger results.
Only enemies who understand soul or Spiritual-related Laws can counter this move, but such individuals are likely rare.
Additionally, the added soul tracking effect, which Du You initially thought was useless since he could already lock onto targets, although not yet advanced.
However, after testing, Du You realized this effect is not simple at all.
Lock on the enemy’s soul, this attack will track eternally until it hits the target or the attack itself is dispersed.
The greatest use of this move is when the enemy attempts a soul escape. One strike eradicates the threat, leaving no escape for the enemy’s spirit, thoroughly eliminating a tier seven combatant.
The previous battle already taught Du You how difficult it is to kill a tier seven combatant.
After Soul Pierce, the next focus is Dark Absorption, which has undergone significant changes.
Dark Absorption: Form a dark shield with Dark Yuan Power to absorb the enemy’s attacks and the contained law power. Actively absorbs upon attack, can form armor on oneself, and can be actively applied to other targets. 30% of absorbed attacks convert into personal Dark Yuan Power. (Level 61, 10 Star)
Dark Yuan Power still forms a black shield, and though Du You hasn’t grasped the devouring Law, the addition of his own Dark Law and other Laws hasn’t weakened this skill; it actually strengthens after advancement.
Previously, it absorbed only the enemy’s attacks, but now, it can absorb even the law power.
Du You doesn’t understand what law power is, nor how this conversion works; even at tier seven, it’s still vague and unclear to Du You.
However, Du You feels that the opponent’s laws, after being shattered and converted, do indeed restore his Dark Yuan Power.
The Law power within his Dark Yuan Power equates to a comprehensive self-restoration.
And now the skill has gained a special effect, which is to apply it to others. Previously this skill only helped Du You defend, but now it can be cast on the two sisters.
The armor formation doesn’t impact the two sisters. Instead, it increases their resistance to attacks.
Everyone’s defenses are constantly increasing, likely making future battles safer.
The next skill is Shadow Teleport, an excellent skill for escape and travel. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝※𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖※𝕟𝕖𝕥
When facing that Three-headed Gold Dragon last time, if this skill had been advanced, Du You would not be suppressed by the opponent’s spatial abilities. Therefore, Du You has strong feelings about spatial teleportation.
Now it’s done, this skill has finally reached the tier seven quality.
Shadow Teleport: Open a spatial tunnel with Dark Yuan Power for teleportation. Range within the scope of Spiritual Perception, interval 0.1 seconds. Can leave space markers for teleportation, within the current world and surrounding worlds, with a maximum of level × 100 space markers. (Level 61, 10 Star)
On the surface, this skill has changed a lot. Previously, it ripped open space with dark energy for teleportation.
That caused too much spatial ripple, and the method was too crude, not effective. Now, Du You can directly open a spatial tunnel using Spatial Law, achieving instant teleportation with greater speed and zero spatial ripples, attracting no attention.
The teleportation range is still within Du You’s perception but has expanded now that his perception range is larger.
The interval time has decreased from 0.5 seconds to 0.1 seconds, significantly enhancing practicality.
In terms of coordinates, it’s even more dramatic; markers can now be placed all over the current world and surrounding worlds. If Du You chooses, he can leave the current world and enter others instantly.
However, the current world must not exceed tier seven. If it surpasses tier seven, such teleportation can’t succeed, as Du You discovered through experimentation.
This is because this teleportation is akin to illegal immigration; a tier seven world can’t enforce its laws on Du You, but an eighth-tier world can.
This range isn’t limited to nearby worlds in spatial turbulence; it can also work if spatial corridors connect worlds. For example, in the current world and Earth, Du You doesn’t know the distance, but there is a connecting spatial corridor.
Hence, Du You can now bypass spatial corridors and use Shadow Teleport for direct transference.
The number of coordinates has also increased; previously it was ten times the level, now it’s a hundred times.
Given the current skill level, that’s 6,100 coordinates, an amount Du You won’t exhaust. He’s not someone who needs constant teleportation to manage everything, usually only focusing on the current world.
