168: An increase of 24,500 times!

In a palace within the ancestral land of the Hong Country’s imperial family, Lin Chen sat cross-legged, having just inquired about the Multiverse War.

After learning about the Battlefield of Myriad Realms and the black tower, Lin Chen’s eyes gleamed with excitement.

The black tower contained countless treasures, so it must hold high-energy substances!

The energy points he was currently consuming were already extremely extravagant, and by the time he reached the Dao Realm, it would certainly be an astronomical figure.

He needed to obtain something with even higher energy than source crystals!

“The Multiverse War?”

A surge of battle intent rose within Lin Chen’s heart.

“First, I’ll absorb all the source crystals!”

Subsequently, countless energy waves appeared in Lin Chen’s Inner World.

Currently, Lin Chen’s Inner World was equivalent to two-thirds the size of the Azure Cang Realm, and he could control its time flow at 500 times the external rate.

This meant that one year in the outside world was 500 years in his Inner World!

At this moment, Transcendent Realm beings had already appeared in his Inner World!

This delighted him greatly; his Inner World was of the tenth grade, so the spiritual energy was a hundred times denser than that of an ordinary Venerable Realm Inner World!

With a hundredfold time acceleration, he believed that Source Beginning Realm, and even Venerable Realm beings, would be born soon!

After more than half an hour, Lin Chen had converted all the source crystals into energy points.

His energy points now amounted to an astonishing 45.4 quadrillion source crystals!

“Since I want the Time Clan to value me more, then…”

“I’ll directly deduce a fusion combat skill for 9 branch Laws!”

A Law Combat Skill fusing 9 Laws required 10.8 quadrillion energy points.

With a thought, Lin Chen began the deduction.

This time, the deduction of a 9-Law combat skill increased in difficulty by several levels.

As far as Lin Chen knew, throughout the entire history of Hong Country, a combat skill fusing 9 Laws had never appeared!

Each additional Law in a Law fusion combat skill exponentially increased the difficulty.

During the process of deduction and creation, one not only had to balance the conflicts between different Laws but also combine the attributes of each Law.

This process carried a certain degree of danger.

A slight mistake could lead to Law conflicts, causing a Law backlash and forming a Dao Injury!

Dao Injuries were extremely terrifying; once sustained, one would lose perception of certain Laws, making it impossible to even use the most basic Law Power… However, Lin Chen only needed to mindlessly spend energy points.

This deduction took the system a full 3 hours!

Such a long duration was unprecedented for the system.

Having spent so much time, Lin Chen also became quite expectant.

On the system panel, a new Law fusion combat skill appeared.

Chaos · Fate Severance (Ultimate High-grade) (0 / 10 quadrillion source crystals)

(A saber technique created by fusing Chaos, Fate, and Karma as core Laws, with 6 branch Laws of Space-Time. The saber technique comes with a double Space-Time lock, instantly severing the target’s fate and karma lines, with a triple Chaos Space-Time burst, directly obliterating the target.)

Lin Chen was deeply shocked after reading the description.

Obliteration!

Moreover, it could attack through fate and karma lines, which meant it could directly attack the main body through a clone!

It could be said that with this single saber strike, if the opponent couldn’t resist, all the clones of that being in the world would be instantly obliterated!

If Lin Chen unleashed his full power, it would be almost impossible for any being of the same realm to withstand this attack.

Because unlike the mortal realms, the Laws of the Endless Realm were vaster and more powerful.

Their fused power would undergo a qualitative change, with terrifying amplification!

Amplification was divided into three tiers.

The first tier, combat skills fusing 1-3 Laws, amplified by 100-300 times.

The second tier, combat skills fusing 4-6 Laws, amplified by 800-1800 times.

The third tier, combat skills fusing 7-9 Laws, amplified by 2500-4500 times!

The further along, the more terrifying the amplification!

In the Endless Realm, the maximum number of Laws that could be fused was 9. Any more would at most increase the auxiliary effects of the combat skill, but not amplify the Law’s power.

This was something Lin Chen only learned later through Xiao Zi.

This was related to the supreme rules, which influenced the operating laws of everything in the world… Currently, Lin Chen’s combat power amplification was divided into two aspects.

One aspect was the body cultivation path, which relied on body techniques for a 100-fold amplification of Physical Strength. When he was at the first forge of Saint-grade Golden Body, a hundredfold amplification just reached the combat power of the second forge of Saint-grade Golden Body.

But now at the third forge of Saint-grade, even with a hundredfold amplification, it probably wouldn’t reach the level of the fourth forge of Saint-grade.

With each increase in a Saint-grade Golden Body realm, the power leap in between became more terrifying.

Lin Chen estimated that his current body cultivation combat power alone was only equivalent to a powerful half-step Dao Realm, not yet reaching the Dao Realm level.

The other aspect was the martial path. This path could enhance combat power through Law Combat Skill amplification and his Physical Strength amplification, which was comparable to a high-grade supreme treasure.

The 9-Law fusion combat skill amplified Law Power by 4500 times.

An Ultimate High-grade combat skill could amplify Law Power by 10,000 times.

The third forge of Saint-grade Golden Body could amplify Law Power by 9000 times.

Adding these up, it was 23,500 times!

This was not Lin Chen’s strongest state; he could also convert the Law fusion combat skill into a World Combat Skill!

By using World Power to activate the Law fusion combat skill, it could be amplified again.

A World Combat Skill could further amplify Law Power by 1000 times.

Thus, his Law Power could be amplified by 24,500 times!

This was an extremely terrifying amplification, and Lin Chen himself didn't know the extent of his true strength now.

“I’ll test it in the virtual world then.”

In the virtual world, one could set opponents of different realms at will by spending source crystals.

Through this method, Lin Chen’s practical combat ability could also be improved.

Lin Chen had too few actual combat experiences. If he encountered an opponent of similar strength or slightly stronger, then practical combat experience would be crucial.

“I wonder how many source crystals this combat skill can sell for.”

Lin Chen smiled slightly. He first spent 10 quadrillion energy points to raise this combat skill to the perfect level, then logged into the virtual world.

In a magnificent city, Lin Chen appeared on the street.

Looking at the various races of beings coming and going, Lin Chen muttered to himself.

“It seems it’s better to buy a private space later.”

He directly opened the trading platform on the street and checked the transaction records.

“Indeed, there have been no transactions of 9-Law fusion combat skills in Hong Country’s history.”

“But that doesn’t mean no one has ever created one.”

Based on the selling price of two-Law fusion combat skills, and extrapolating forward,

A 9-Law fusion combat skill would be priced at 20 quadrillion source crystals.

However, since there had been no transactions of this level of combat skill in Hong Country’s history, Lin Chen fell into deep thought.

After a long while, he listed the combat skill for sale.

Priced at 100 quadrillion source crystals!

He wanted to test it out, list it for a while, and if it didn’t sell, he could always lower the price later.

After all, rarity makes things valuable… Lin Chen then exited the virtual world.

He glanced at the system panel; he still had 34.5 quadrillion energy points.

Both his mind and body could be upgraded once more!

Upgrading the mind required 8 quadrillion energy points, and upgrading the body required 15 quadrillion energy points.

Lin Chen then directly spent 23 quadrillion energy points.

Both his mind and body were upgraded simultaneously!
