419: Who would be short of that few points?
Although Lin Tianwei's Beast King Domain didn't possess the terrifying destructive power of Val's Thunder and Lightning Domain, it had its own unique effect.
That was deterrence, to deter those Cosmic Beasts that weren't strong enough or whose willpower wasn't firm enough.
Though Val was powerful, having been pampered since childhood, his willpower wasn't particularly firm.
Most importantly, Lin Tianwei's current position was crucial.
The dragon's head was the core area of Val's consciousness, and using the Beast King Domain here could achieve twice the result with half the effort.
What's more, Lin Tianwei launched his attack the instant Val couldn't react.
Like a golden bullet capable of piercing the darkness, Lin Tianwei charged towards Val's eye at an extremely fast speed.
The eyes truly were the windows to the soul.
As long as he shattered the glass guarding the window, Lin Tianwei could drive straight in and strike at the heart of the matter.
Val, who was originally guiding the Thunder and Lightning Domain, suddenly felt a terrifying pressure descend, directly suppressing his consciousness and making it impossible for him to even breathe.
This pressure made him feel the threat of death, as if he had been targeted by some natural predator, and the next moment he could lose his life.
Seize the enemy's will, shake the enemy's soul, capture the enemy's spirit!
This was the true power of Lin Tianwei's Beast King Domain.
At such a critical moment, Val's will was seized by Lin Tianwei, causing him to freeze; his fate was sealed.
Like an indestructible bullet, Lin Tianwei directly drilled into Val's body through his eye, beginning to wreak havoc.
Power of Destruction!
Terrifying Power of Destruction gathered on Lin Tianwei's body, sweeping away everything in its path!
Val's seemingly powerful body couldn't withstand Lin Tianwei's rampage and was quickly breached layer by layer, with Lin Tianwei directly breaking through to the location of his inner world.
In a sense, the inner world, much like a beast core, is incredibly important to all Cosmic Beasts.
Once an enemy breaks through here, it can basically be declared a death sentence.
With just a little guidance of power, the countless stars hidden within the inner world would run wild, and the explosive power would instantly shatter the owner's body into pieces.
When Val finally broke free from the state of being deterred by the Beast King Domain, he only saw Lin Tianwei's retreating figure entering his own inner world.
Despair welled up within him; he knew he had lost this Arena match.
Yet, he was also incredibly relieved that this was merely an Arena match, and even defeat would incur no loss to him.
If he had encountered such a terrifying opponent in reality, he truly would have had no hope of survival.
Top-tier Cosmic Beasts? The powerful Thunder Serpent Clan? None of these could protect Val.
However, Val waited and waited, but his death never came. Under mental perception, he discovered that Lin Tianwei was actually taking a sightseeing tour inside his body.
Are you kidding me? This was a rare opportunity to observe the body structure of a top-tier Cosmic Beast. How could Lin Tianwei directly kill Val with one blow and waste such a precious opportunity?
Since the outcome was decided, Lin Tianwei had plenty of time to waste.
So, after entering Val's inner world, Lin Tianwei was no longer in a hurry.
Undoubtedly, Val possessed Domain Lord Level strength, and his inner world was naturally completely different from that of a Cosmic Level powerhouse.
Although it was still that universe, just a difference in size, Lin Tianwei could feel the power of rules within this universe.
Thunder and Lightning Law even replaced what might have been air, becoming an omnipresent element in this universe.
It was precisely the power of rules that elevated this universe, making it stronger, and also granting Val his Domain Lord Level strength.
Lin Tianwei had also entered Miguel's inner world before, to investigate what changes would occur in a World Lord Level powerhouse's inner world.
He found that Miguel's inner world was identical to that of a Cosmic Level ninth-stage Cosmic Beast, and even appeared slightly weaker compared to some geniuses.
The only difference was that Miguel's inner world possessed the Power of Rules.
A large amount of Power of Rules enveloped the largest stars, not only making them operate faster and produce more Star Power.
It could also serve as a one-time burst of energy, temporarily causing a huge impact on a certain area.
It was precisely by relying on the influence of the Power of Rules that Miguel was able to effortlessly annihilate Cosmic Beasts in an entire area.
This kind of attack was absolutely lethal to Cosmic Beasts who had not yet mastered the Power of Rules.
This led to the spectacular scene of Miguel directly slaughtering countless Cosmic Level ninth-stage Cosmic Beasts.
Compared to Miguel's inner world, Val's inner world carried a higher Power of Rules, even beginning to cover some planets.
Perhaps once the Power of Rules completely filled the entire universe, Val's strength would undergo a qualitative change, achieving the Legendary state of immortality.
However, due to the extremely limited reference points, Lin Tianwei was temporarily unable to corroborate his conjecture.
Perhaps only by encountering more and stronger Cosmic Beasts in the Law Arena could Lin Tianwei find a path to immortality.
However, just as Lin Tianwei was about to continue studying Val's inner world, he discovered that Val's inner world suddenly became turbulent.
A terrifying power of Thunder and Lightning Law erupted, apparently intending to directly destroy this place.
Val was no benevolent person; upon realizing Lin Tianwei's true purpose, he decisively chose to self-destruct at the first opportunity.
Want to covet his secrets?
Even if it was just a virtual body used in the Law Arena, a virtual body that couldn't compare to the strength of his real body, it was not something Lin Tianwei could freeload off of.
Knowing that victory was hopeless, Val decisively chose to self-destruct, cutting off Lin Tianwei's chance to continue prying into his secrets.
Although the rules of the Law Arena do not allow suicide, if one encounters an opponent like Lin Tianwei who attempts to pry into their secrets, it grants the other party the right to self-destruct.
They could even use the rules of the Law Arena to directly concede and end the match.
Myriad Thunder Burial!
Terrifying thunder power erupted; that was the dignified exit Val had prepared for himself.
What's more, with a full-power eruption, he might be able to fight Lin Tianwei to a draw, which would at least not tarnish the reputation of his true self.
Surrender? Unless absolutely necessary, his dignity would not allow him to surrender.
Inner world.
Sensing that this world was about to collapse, Lin Tianwei no longer bothered to check the inner world's condition, but instead turned to examine Val's body.
As a top-tier Cosmic Beast, although Val couldn't completely replicate his real-world body into the Law Arena, it was enough for Lin Tianwei to gain some inspiration.
Under the immense power of Myriad Thunder Burial, Lin Tianwei only had time to sense that Val's body also seemed to contain a large amount of Thunder and Lightning Law before he was forced to use Instantaneous Movement to leave the area.
Although he still had trump cards that could allow him to survive Myriad Thunder Burial.
But this was clearly not the trump card he should use now.
Finally, amidst a purple flash of lightning, this battle dissolved into nothingness.
Watching the Arena match that had officially concluded, countless Cosmic Beasts dared not show the slightest negligence, fearing they might miss a crucial moment.
Especially those frantic investors, who were even attempting to find evidence of Val's victory within that void.
Unfortunately, their expectations were destined to be dashed, as the Law Arena quickly provided the final answer:
“Arena Result: Lin wins, Val loses!”
As soon as the result was announced, the entire arena erupted in an uproar.
Aside from the two beasts who had a mysterious confidence in Lin Tianwei, perhaps only Azeia had seen the outcome of this battle.
Myriad Thunder Burial, that was the signature ultimate technique of the Thunder Serpent Clan used for mutual destruction.
Unless forced into a desperate situation, even with a one in ten thousand chance, the Thunder Serpent Clan would not use Myriad Thunder Burial.
So, the outcome had already been decided.
The only question was whether Lin Tianwei could withstand the power of Myriad Thunder Burial, and whether he could survive such a terrifying mutually destructive technique.
Draws kill all bets!
Azeia was even hoping for a draw, as that way he could show these Cosmic Beasts, who dreamed of getting rich all day, what true cruelty was.
Of course.
Lin Tianwei's victory was also cruel enough.
At least countless Cosmic Beasts would once again be burdened with huge debts, perhaps even forced to sell themselves to repay them.
But none of this was something Azeia needed to care about.
Respecting the fate of others, he never meddled or became overly sentimental... “Ding, congratulations on successfully killing your opponent and winning this Arena match.”
“This Arena's offensive rating is: S, a brilliant battle, but unfortunately the opponent seemed not too smart.”
“This Arena's defensive rating is: S, ah, ah, I was electrocuted so badly, haha, just kidding.”
“Ding, since the opponent's strength is two major stages higher than yours, this Arena's overall rating will be upgraded by two tiers.”
“Ding, your final Arena overall rating is: SSS, you will ultimately receive 3000% of the points.”
“Ding, after calculation, you have won a total of fifteen million points in this Arena match (base points 5000 * SSS-level rating 3000% * Purgatory difficulty bonus 5000% * self-top-tier rating bonus * 200%).”
... “Ding, congratulations to the host for killing a new target.”
“Ding, Talent extraction successful, host has gained Talent: Core Code (Transcendent) (Incomplete) (29/10000).”
“Note: Congratulations to the host. The collection progress for Talent: Core Code (Transcendent) (Incomplete) has reached 1704/10000.”
... “Ding, your rating and ranking have been updated, you can view them through the panel.”
... “Name: Lin.
Age: 53 years old.
Strength: Cosmic Level Seven.
Ranking: 83.
Points: One hundred thirteen million+.
Rating: Transcendent (Challenge Points + 500%).
Note: Advancing rapidly, your potential is stronger than imagined.
But don't be arrogant, your future opponents will be even stronger.”
... “Ding, since you have entered the top one hundred of the rankings, Legendary Arena is open. You can choose a maximum of ten thousand points as base points.”
... “Ding, since you are powerful and have entered the top one hundred of the Law Arena rankings, you can choose to imprint a unique phantom of yourself in the Law Arena.”
“After leaving a phantom, you will receive 20% of the points earned from your phantom's Arena victories as a reward.”
... “Ding, since you are powerful and have entered the top one hundred of the Law Arena rankings, you can choose to enable stealth mode.”
“Once stealth mode is enabled, your phantom will not be materialized in the training ground.”
It must be said that as Lin Tianwei's strength grew and his ranking gradually rose, the treatment he received also improved significantly.
He could even choose to engrave a phantom of himself in the Law Arena to continuously earn points for himself.
Although Lin Tianwei would no longer be able to access the Law Arena after turning one hundred, his accumulated points would not be cleared but would remain, to be exchanged for items he needed.
Points?
Who would lack those few points?
Lin Tianwei unhesitatingly chose to refuse this.
He didn't want to repeat the experience Val had endured.
Compared to the risk of potentially exposing his secrets, Lin Tianwei simply didn't care for the small amount of points earned.
However, the subsequent stealth mode made Lin Tianwei frown involuntarily.
For him, he would definitely enable stealth mode.
But if the top one hundred Cosmic Beasts in the Law Arena could all enjoy such treatment, wouldn't that mean his plan to repeatedly farm Val would fall through?
Thinking this, Lin Tianwei quickly entered the training ground and tried to summon Val's phantom, but received a message that the opponent had already enabled stealth mode and could not be summoned.
This situation made Lin Tianwei inwardly regret his miscalculation. If he had known about such a thing as stealth mode, he wouldn't have used a full ten percent of his strength in this Arena match.
Ending the battle quickly felt good, but apart from some meaningless points, his gains were not much.
Instead, it would have been better to feign weakness, constantly stringing the opponent along, and take the opportunity to peek into the secrets of these top-tier Cosmic Beasts.
Thinking this, Lin Tianwei decided that in future Arena matches, he would be a bit more reserved.
Before squeezing out all the opponent's value, he must appear weak and easily bullied.
He only hoped that those top one hundred Cosmic Beasts wouldn't be too fragile. Self-destructing at the slightest disagreement truly left Lin Tianwei a bit speechless.
He just didn't know why the Phoenix Bird, that simpleton, would choose not to enable stealth mode, actually allowing Lin Tianwei to repeatedly summon his phantom to farm experience.
However, Lin Tianwei would most likely not interact with the Phoenix Bird in the future, so he simply gave up on delving deeper into this matter.
In fact, the reason the Phoenix Bird did not enable stealth mode was naturally due to his extremely special Reincarnation Domain.
As long as the Phoenix Bird's phantom was given enough time, information could be transmitted through the reincarnation phantom.
Furthermore, the Phoenix Bird itself was merely a level five life-form, a fire phoenix, and its strength was only Star-level eighth-stage. Aside from the Reincarnation Domain, there were simply no secrets on him.
Naturally, he was willing to leave his phantom and enable fishing mode.
While those Cosmic Beasts were attempting to profit from the Phoenix Bird, how could the Phoenix Bird not also be using his phantom to gain benefits?
It was only Lin Tianwei, this anomaly, who could completely suppress the Phoenix Bird, making him gain nothing except for the first time when Lin Tianwei held back. (End of chapter)
