109: Heart of the Sky
Special Individual Introduction:
This pet beast, due to possessing multiple balanced attributes, exhibits the Illusion attribute after being integrated by the Illusion system, but each attribute still retains its trait, which is replaced after Illusion Vision.
Fire trait: Blazing Flame
The fire element of this pet beast has a explosive trait. When any Skill containing fire attribute spiritual power hits an opponent, it will trigger explosive damage.
Thunder trait: Energy Storage
The thunder element of this pet beast has an energy storage trait. On the Path of Thunder, it can store energy, change its trigger method, and can be stacked a second time with the Path of Thunder on top of it.
Water trait: Torrent
The water element of this pet beast has a torrent trait. When any Skill containing water attribute spiritual power hits an opponent, it will trigger a torrent impact, increasing damage and causing a knockback effect.
Earth trait: Solidification
The earth element of this pet beast has a solidification trait. It can solidify the ground, restrict the enemy's movement speed, and can be stacked a second time on top of it to enhance the solidification effect.
Light trait: Purification
The light element of this pet beast has a purification trait. When any Skill containing light attribute spiritual power hits an opponent, it will trigger a purification effect, removing negative statuses from the target and restoring a certain amount of its health.
Dark trait: Concealment
The dark element of this pet beast has a concealment trait. Under Secluded Submerge, it can conceal its figure, making it difficult for enemies to detect its presence, and Secluded Submerge can be stacked a second time on top of it to increase speed.
Insect trait: Parasitism
The Insect Silk of this pet beast has a parasitic trait. It can release Insect Silk, dealing continuous damage to enemies, and when the Insect Silk reaches a certain quantity, it triggers the Control effect.
(Control: Strong crowd control. Without endangering the opponent's life, it turns the opponent into a puppet.)
Besides the overpowered traits, there are two new Skills that are also not simple.
Skill: Foresee Future
Skill attribute: Time
Skill Level: High-tier Skill
Skill Type: Active Skill
Skill Description:
Simulates ten action routes in the mind, and through the power of time, foresees the state of oneself after ten seconds on those ten action routes.
When Li Wen first saw such a Skill, he couldn't help but feel confused, always feeling that this material didn't seem to fully display its due powerful efficacy.
You know, this is a level six material! Logically speaking, it should at least possess some powerful Skills capable of influencing the battle.
Even if he settled for less, abilities like slowing down time or accelerating body recovery, as described on the panel, would still be acceptable.
However, just as Li Wen was pondering, he suddenly had a change of thought and felt that being able to foresee himself a few seconds later was not entirely useless.
After all, through this precognitive ability, he could not only anticipate the direction of the opponent's upcoming moves, but also formulate corresponding counter-strategies in advance.
After careful consideration, Li Wen realized that this new Skill was very likely influenced by Enter Dream.
Because both belong to the category of simulation-type abilities, and most crucially, once they collide and combine, they are highly likely to produce unexpected and wonderful chemical reactions.
It is important to know that the unique aspect of the Enter Dream Skill lies in the fact that the flow of time in its dream realm is vastly different from the real world.
If Foresee Future were built upon a realistic foundation, it would undoubtedly greatly enhance the benefits and value that Enter Dream could bring.
In this way, two seemingly ordinary Skills might just transform into a remarkable and super-powerful combo Skill!
Thinking of this, Li Wen couldn't help but exclaim, "It seems even the heavens can't bear to let Qingyan continue to repeat that tragic 'short-lived' life!"
Skill: Spirit Bestowal
Skill attribute: Ghost
Skill Level: Super-tier Skill
Skill Type: Active Skill
Skill Description:
Bestows a soul upon a subordinate pet beast, giving it self-awareness, so it no longer only fights by instinct.
(Subordinate pet beast: A pet beast created by a pet beast. Generally, the slave beasts of legion-type pet beasts belong to subordinate pet beasts, either acting by instinct or subjectively controlled by the main beast.)
When his gaze fell upon the detailed Skill description, a surge of awe rose in his heart.
Just a quick glance was enough to clearly feel the powerful strength and profound mystique contained within this Skill. Without a doubt, it absolutely deserves the supreme title of "Super-tier Skill."
The most striking aspect of this Skill is that it actually possesses the ability to bestow self-awareness upon a target!
It is important to know that self-awareness is an extremely profound and mysterious existence, usually only achievable by powerful forces that touch the core edges of rules.
However, this Skill before him accomplished it, as if gently lifting a corner of the mysterious veil of rules.
However, just as Li Wen was full of anticipation, wanting Qingyan to apply this miraculous Skill to the Insect Silk clone, an unexpected situation occurred—due to the Skill's extremely high level, far exceeding Qingyan's current control, it simply couldn't be successfully cast.
What does this mean? This means that the key Skill, considered capable of leading Qingyan's race into the ranks of overlords, is now like a beautiful treasure, dazzling but temporarily unusable due to various restrictions.
In fact, upon closer thought, the reason is not difficult to understand. After all, Qingyan's own third-stage evolution is not yet fully complete, and its soul power is still in a stage of continuous growth and improvement.
Under such circumstances, the difficulty of successfully bestowing self-awareness upon others is imaginable.
As for why he obtained such a powerful yet difficult-to-master Skill, perhaps only that persistent belief can explain it.
Perhaps it was precisely by virtue of that strong desire for "gourmet food" deep within its heart that Qingyan, by chance, obtained such a heaven-defying Skill.
Just as Li Wen was intently savoring the powerful new Skill he had just acquired and beginning to meticulously plan a new round of training, a voice suddenly broke his immersed thoughts: "An overlord race? It seems it really is the heart of the earth!"
The speaker was none other than the Tree Emperor. With his high level and experience, he could easily discern Qingyan's race with just a glance.
In fact, he had heard relevant information several days ago, but at that time, due to the urgency of the situation and his anxious mood, he had no time to attend to such seemingly trivial details.
However, at this moment, when the topic was brought up again, even Li Wen's long-dormant curiosity was instantly ignited.
So, Li Wen eagerly pressed on with his question.
"What exactly is that 'heart of the earth'?"
At this, the Mind Emperor, who had been silent, slowly opened his mouth and took over the conversation, patiently beginning to explain in detail to Li Wen.
"This is one of the two great legends widely circulated within our insect race; the other is called the 'Heart of the Sky.'"
"And the so-called 'Heart of the Sky' only appears in an extremely rare circumstance—that is, when the originally weakest insect of a race, after enduring countless hardships, successfully evolves into the strongest dragon of a race, only then can it be born."
"The enormous cocoon formed during its evolution can obscure the entire sky, as magnificent as the heart of the sky itself."
"Therefore, it is called the 'Heart of the Sky.'"
