The ancient stone tablet was simple and unadorned. At first glance, the patterns carved upon it appeared to be the chaotic scribbles of a child, but upon closer inspection, one could sense that these designs were intricately woven with profound mysteries. This complexity was deeply enigmatic, leaving one in contemplation yet at a loss for understanding, much like viewing a painting through a veil—one could vaguely perceive the beauty within but could not fully grasp it.
"Strange," Hong Lian furrowed her brows tightly and glanced at the three individuals beside her, noticing they too seemed to be exploring the tablet. She then closed her eyes, allowing a thread of Mental Power to envelop the stone tablet as she slowly attuned herself to its mysterious aura.
Time passed slowly. At this moment within the Eightfold Gravity Zone, Bu trembled as he took several steps forward. Each step was a struggle; his healing wounds repeatedly tore open and bled, while sweat continuously seeped from his body. In those few steps, his physical attributes had increased significantly. Though the improvement was slight, it was an accumulation that gradually elevated his strength.
If one were to look at his Personal Attribute Interface now, they would find that his attributes had risen considerably compared to half an hour ago.
"Character: Vampire: Dark Faction
Strength: 67 (6+1) Agility: 68 (4+6) Constitution: 69 (4+7) Spirit: 16 Energy: 55/55
Occupation: None Faith: None Level: Level Experience Points: 180/8000 Physical Condition: Severe Injury 54%"
His strength had increased by 6 points, Agility had risen by a few points, and Constitution had improved by 5 points. This was nearly a leap equivalent to a level's worth of attribute points. If Bu's Constitution could reach fifty points, he would attain the stage of having a tough physique. Should it reach seventy points, he would possess what is known as "golden internal organs." Coupled with his extraordinary recovery ability, he would indeed become an indestructible powerhouse.
"This stone tablet gives me an inexplicable sense of familiarity. This familiarity does not stem from the patterns on it but rather from the faint aura it occasionally emits. This aura... Fusing God! When entering the Fusing God state, refining the body through Fusing God and infusing Mental Power into my body for tempering creates a unique aura that bears some resemblance to this stone tablet's aura, yet seems somewhat different."
As thoughts whirled in her mind, Hong Lian grasped a clue. Without hesitation, she activated Fusing God once more; her entire presence transformed instantly, exuding an imposing aura akin to an immovable deity.
The three individuals beside her, who were focused on their own insights, were startled and turned to look at Hong Lian in confusion over her sudden action. With caution in their hearts, they exchanged glances and continued their contemplation while remaining wary of Hong Lian's potential surprise attack.
As she unleashed Fusing God and infused Mental Power into her body for tempering, Hong Lian's eyes flashed with electric light. Suddenly standing up without any hesitation, she charged directly toward the stone tablet.
"What are you doing!" One of them, who had been on guard against Hong Lian, shouted angrily and leaped up to intercept her.
Zhuge Yu and Merkdo also changed their expressions, their eyes revealing hostility as they stood up abruptly, ready to step forward.
Bang!
Hong Lian's hand suddenly slammed onto the stone tablet. At the same time, a figure from Wu approached rapidly, launching a powerful punch aimed at Hong Lian's back.
This punch contained internal energy, surrounded by a mighty force that emitted a blinding white light. The moment it struck Hong Lian's back, an overwhelming power erupted.
Boom!
As the punch landed, Wu's face lit up with joy, surprised at how easily he had landed the hit. However, just as this joy appeared, a powerful recoil force suddenly burst forth from his fist.
Everything happened so suddenly that Wu was caught off guard. His arm was directly propelled upward by this strong recoil, causing him to stagger backward for several steps before falling to the ground in a rather embarrassing manner.
The unexpected turn of events caused Zhuge Yu and Merkdo, who had taken a few steps forward and were about to act, to change their expressions and stop in their tracks.
"What happened?" Merkdo exclaimed, looking at Wu as he struggled to get up.
At that moment, the stone tablet suddenly shook violently, causing the ground to tremble. Thunderous sounds echoed as the jade floor cracked, and fissures appeared on the surface of the stone tablet. Cracking noises filled the air as dust fell continuously.
"This is bad! This fellow has used some method to comprehend the secret technique inscribed on the Dao Stele," Zhuge Yu shouted in alarm, losing his usual composure. He swiftly drew a soft sword from his side, and several flashes of cold light accompanied by sharp sword aura instantly attacked Hong Lian.
"Let's go together! We must stop him. If he successfully comprehends the secret technique on the Dao Stele, we will have no chance of obtaining it," Wu's voice was sharp as he spoke while lunging forward. A uniquely shaped three-bladed weapon appeared in his hand out of nowhere, summoning dense energy blades that surrounded Hong Lian.
"Charging Bull!" Merkdo's eyes turned red, breathing heavily like a frenzied bull. He stomped the ground, charging towards Hong Lian like a bulldozer. At his elbows, two sharp horns made of condensed energy pierced the air. The force of this collision could twist and tear even a thick steel plate.
The three-way attack was astonishing. Although Merkdo was only at Intermediate Level 4, with his formidable physical strength, he could contend with even Intermediate Level 5 warriors. The combined assault from these three would leave even a Quasi-Advanced powerhouse in disarray.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three explosive sounds rang out. Hong Lian remained completely still, while the attackers were filled with shock, their bodies sent flying by an even stronger recoil force.
This recoil was more powerful than before. Wu spat blood, his palms shattered, and his three-bladed weapon flew from his grasp. Zhuge Yu's face turned pale as the soft sword in his hand bent into an incredible arc before snapping straight, launching him away. The worst off was Merkdo; the energy horns he had formed shattered, and his elbows exploded in a bloody mess. With a scream, he shot out like a cannonball.
As the target of the attack, Hong Lian was unharmed; instead, the attackers suffered miserably. This was not due to any extraordinary technique from Hong Lian but rather the strange protective power emanating from the Dao Stele.
At the moment Hong Lian's palm touched the Dao Stele, a connection was formed due to the aura born from Fusing God, triggering a resonance with the Dao Stele. The energies merged, and Hong Lian clearly comprehended the engraved secret technique as if a veil had been lifted from a painting. Previously obscured by this veil, he now had a clear view.
"Transform Void—so this stele is inscribed with another fragment of the Fusion of the Divine technique: Transform Void. It requires divine consciousness to unleash its full power; using Mental Power would yield little effect." Streams of information flooded his mind as cracks spread across the stele, causing some stones to fall as if it were about to collapse.
"This can't be happening! Damn it! I never expected this Fellow to be so lucky. This Dao Stele has stood here for countless ages; although some have grasped bits of its secret techniques, no one has ever obtained the complete technique. It should have been mine!" Wu sighed loudly, regret and despondency evident on his face.
"It is said that the secret techniques recorded on this Dao Stele are fragments of a forbidden art. Even as fragments, they date back to ancient times and are at least High-Level or above—truly exceptional techniques," Zhuge Yu lamented as well. Watching a treasure being snatched away right before their eyes felt like spilling spices everywhere—his heart was filled with mixed emotions.
"Forget it; what is meant to be ours will be ours. What isn't ours can't be forced. We've come to comprehend this Dao Stele many times before but have never grasped its essence. If this senior can fully comprehend it today, it's his fortune; I have nothing to resent," Merkdo said nonchalantly. Despite his elbows nearly being crippled by the recoil force, he did not think of revenge and simply stood up and walked away.
"I'll take my leave now. Without this Dao Stele, I have more time to attend to other matters, so I won't be messing around with you all."
Watching Merkdo's departing figure, Zhuge Yu and Wu exchanged glances, then looked at Hong Lian. The two fell silent for a moment, sighed softly, and turned to leave.
Boom! The stone tablet, already cracked like a spider web, collapsed with a loud noise, shattering into a pile of rubble. The last trace of an unusual aura suddenly merged into Hong Lian's body, deepening his understanding of the Void Transformation Technique.
Divine Fusion and Void Transformation, refining the body into steel, Transform Void into emptiness. This Void Transformation Technique surpasses Fusing God; when cultivated to the highest realm, it can virtualize the physical body, making it immune to all external physical attacks—almost equivalent to an invincible technique.
Within the Eightfold Gravity Zone, Purple Mist rolled as Bu Shen stepped forward joyfully, focusing intently on the skill bar to examine it closely.
"Transform Void (Active) Level: High-Level 6. Skill Effect: Consumes divine consciousness to spread through the body, entering a virtualized state that is immune to all external physical attacks. Duration depends on the strength of divine consciousness. Cooldown: 0 minutes. Mastery: Beginner."
"A High-Level Forbidden Technique," Bu Shen breathed out, his face brightening even more. If he were to comprehend this Transform Void technique with his true form, he might succeed in understanding it but would be unable to execute it due to his own limitations. However, Hong Lian was different.
Hong Lian had once been at the Demigod level as an Earth Spirit. Even though his energy cultivation was no longer what it used to be and all his divine consciousness had transformed into Mental Power, there would still be no obstacles for him in executing this Transform Void forbidden technique. It would just mean that using Mental Power for Transform Void might significantly reduce its effectiveness and not allow him to evade all external physical attacks.
As a result, Bu Shen also benefited from this and could use the Transform Void forbidden technique without being restricted by level; however, due to his low Mental Power, the Transform Void executed by him would naturally be less effective than if Hong Lian performed it himself.
