73: Chapter 72: The [Black Rhino Armor] of Infinite Power!

"[Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros Horn Slash]!!"

After taking care of the massive [Mutated Deep One], Sun Po sheathed his [meteor spear] and instead condensed a giant scimitar.

Its blade edge resembled white jade, the spine was wrapped in a layer of high-tech black metal, and the body was inlaid with bright yellow crystalline structures.

The entire blade had an exaggerated shape, its curvature resembling a rhinoceros horn adorned with gems and metal decorations.

[Remember this site's domain, Taiwan Novel Network, for a great experience and easy reading]

It was none other than the [moon-gazing rhinoceros horn blade]!!

Affected by the [Deadly Dark Whirlpool Pool], the lightly armored Yin soldier was like a beast swallowed by a swamp, desperately wishing to retreat but unable to take a step.

But the [Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros Horn Slash] cared nothing for that. A water-blue blade ray over ten meters wide swept through with irresistible force, turning it entirely to ash and dropping a material that rolled onto the ground.

Moreover, the [Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros Horn Slash] truly lived up to being a skill that consumed a vast amount of spirituality. Although its lethal power was slightly weaker than [Meteor Raging Waterfall Pierce], its attack range was significantly larger.

After obliterating the lightly armored Yin soldier, the giant water-blue blade ray met no hindrance and flew forward several dozen meters, destroying hundreds of [Mutated Stalkers] before finally dissipating.

"Not bad, this power truly befits an orange-grade MOD!"

What Sun Po paid the most attention to was the situation with the [calamity qi reactor].

In Sun Po's vision, this [calamity qi reactor] MOD should be able to collect calamity qi in large quantities, condense it into solid crystals, and internally convert it into spirituality to power the [Black Rhino Armor].

If Sun Po had attended university, he would know that calamity qi and divine power both belong to currently known high-level forces, classified as Tier 4 energy.

Spirituality, on the other hand, belongs to the most basic—yet lowest tier—Tier 1 energy for Card Makers.

There was a massive gap between the two; using the essence of Tier 4 energy to convert into Tier 1 energy naturally resulted in extremely high efficiency.

But only the [mod loading system] could accomplish such a feat. Even Bai Yu, who possessed the talent [Soul Essence Myriad Transformation],

had to first understand the essence of energy before converting soul force into other forms of power—whereas Sun Po had no such requirement.

And judging from actual combat, the effect was exceptionally good.

In the [calamity qi reactor] on the chest of the [Black Rhino Armor], the rhino pattern's brightness had only dimmed slightly, but in less than a minute, it recovered to its peak brightness.

The concentration of calamity qi here had reached a point where the [Black Rhino Armor] effectively had zero energy consumption.

Looking at the vast sea of monsters surrounding him, Sun Po couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

Unlimited firepower! Unlimited materials!

Aside from the [Meditation Seal] that required the [Power of Time], he could spam any other skill as he pleased?!

Even when playing custom games with cheats in his previous life, he had never experienced something this exhilarating!!

He raised the [moon-gazing rhinoceros horn blade] in his hand, bypassed the [Yin Soldiers] and [Tianhe Naval Forces], and charged straight toward a giant [Mutated Deep One].

Regarding creatures like [Deep Ones], official databases indicated that they had no concept of a lifespan.

Their bodies did not age, their organs did not fail, and they did not die of natural causes; as long as they were alive, their muscle tissue would continuously grow.

Correspondingly, however, these monsters were considered quite weak among monsters of the same tier,

capable only of low-level attack methods like biting, screeching, and ramming.

A giant [Mutated Deep One] standing over ten meters tall like this

had to possess a long lifespan. Yet for such a terrifying [Mutated Deep One] to grow during this recently erupted [fish-ization disease] event was truly illogical.

But in Sun Po's eyes, as long as a monster dropped materials, it was completely logical.

The giant [Mutated Deep One] roared madly, crashing around mindlessly.

Sun Po snapped his fingers.

A spherical, faint-black ice shield enveloped the entire [Black Rhino Armor]—it was none other than the [Cold Jade Black Ice Shield].

Although the [Black Rhino Armor] itself possessed extraordinary defense, now that he had unlimited energy, and given that he was nearly ambushed to death while crafting the MOD earlier,

prudence was his top priority. He wished he could stack a few more layers of [Cold Jade Black Ice Shield].

Immediately, he raised the [moon-gazing rhinoceros horn blade] in his hand and released a massive water-blue blade ray—the skill [Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros Horn Slash].

As the blade ray flashed, the water-blue energy slammed into the giant [Mutated Deep One]. Flesh flew, and scales shattered, yet the monster did not die. It merely suffered a deep, bone-revealing wound, remaining fully capable of fighting.

"It seems higher spirituality consumption doesn't necessarily mean a stronger move. [Meteor Raging Waterfall Pierce] excels at point-penetration, making it the perfect choice against high-defense monsters,

while [Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros Horn Slash] excels in range as an AOE skill for crowd control, though its single-point power is slightly weaker than [Meteor Raging Waterfall Pierce]."

Sun Po continuously reflected on his experience using the [Black Rhino Armor]. After all, an environment with such dense calamity qi wasn't something he encountered every day.

"It seems that to deal with a giant [Mutated Deep One] like this, focusing power to break a single point is best to deliver a fatal blow like earlier?"

But Sun Po chose not to.

What point-penetration? What [Meteor Raging Waterfall Pierce]? Never heard of them!

I only know that precision strikes are for the poor, while carpet bombing is for the rich!!

The giant [Mutated Deep One] has thick scales and can't be split in one slice, huh?

Then if one slice isn't enough, add another!! Until it breaks!

[Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros Horn Slash]!!

[Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros Horn Slash]!!

[Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros Horn Slash]!!

Take whatever you have to say up with my [moon-gazing rhinoceros horn blade]!!

Thus, Sun Po was like a God of War roaming through the secret realm. Slashing beam after water-blue beam, the giant [Mutated Deep One] couldn't even get close before exploding with a roar.

However, the lightly armored Yin soldier that ambushed Sun Po was nowhere to be seen on the battlefield again.

As for the ordinary [Mutated Deep Ones]?

Under the ten-meter-wide blade rays, these small white-and-green monsters died in massive swathes.

A single sweep yielded piles of white and green materials, while giant [Mutated Deep Ones] occasionally dropped blue materials.

This gave Sun Po the illusion of farming gold in web-based MMORPGs from his previous life, as if someone were whispering in his ear, "If you're my brother, come hit me."

Thanks to Yang Xinyue's physical training before the exams, Sun Po had been able to dodge-roll all day back then.

Swinging a blade for a full day now was a piece of cake.

But there were clearly not enough monsters for Sun Po to kill for an entire day.

Within an hour, Sun Po had already fought his way to the boundary of the [Tianhe Budu] domain three times.

Helpless, Sun Po had no choice but to retract [Tianhe Budu] and redeploy it to continue advancing.

Sun Po's killing method focused on efficiency and safety. He would spread [Deadly Dark Whirlpool Pool] beneath his feet, drape [Cold Jade Black Ice Shield] over himself, and act like a turret—grabbing the [moon-gazing rhinoceros horn blade] and slashing wherever monsters appeared.

As for the [Yin Soldiers], Sun Po mainly tasked them with picking up materials while he slashed with one hand and decomposed materials with the other, switching hands whenever one grew tired.

After all, swinging the [moon-gazing rhinoceros horn blade] with his left hand dealt high damage, and swinging it with his right hand dealt high damage.

Even if ordinary [Mutated Deep Ones] occasionally scampered near Sun Po, they couldn't breach the defense of the [Black Rhino Armor].

In this manner, Sun Po relied on the [Black Rhino Armor] equipped with the [calamity qi reactor] to practically vacation his way through the swarm of [Mutated Deep Ones] that Li Tiance had claimed to be helpless against.

With about two hours remaining until three quarters past noon, Sun Po could distinctly feel that the density of [Mutated Deep Ones] had grown quite sparse.

As he walked on, the path ahead ended, giving way to a pitch-black, bottomless abyss.

Inside [Tianhe Budu], the [bawang pidi sword] suddenly unsheathed itself with a sharp sword whine, nearly plunging headlong into it.

Sun Po felt immensely excited inside because he sensed it—

the aura of the [Double-Pupil Warrior] was right beneath this abyss.
