138: Three major skills

"First, kill Zhao Tianyang!"

"Then, kill the old ghost!"

"Finally, crush this ignorant brat, along with his ridiculous pride, into the dust!"

He wanted everyone to know the consequences of provoking Chen Ao!

Of course, only he himself knew how much of this behavior was due to a deep-seated fear of a direct confrontation with Lin Yu.

At this moment, Chen Ao's speed reached its peak.

That destructive energy almost instantly descended upon Zhao Tianyang's head.

However.

Someone was faster than him.

The moment Chen Ao moved.

Lin Yu moved.

He didn't even make any unnecessary movements, just calmly raised his hand.

Three shimmering cards appeared out of thin air at his fingertips.

There was no time to stack a million-fold multiplication.

But, it was enough.

"Vitality Nourishment (Origin)!"

"Divine Skeleton Armor (Primordial)!"

"Eight Desolations Reversion (Primordial)!"

Hum! Hum! Hum!

Three streams of light, each a different color yet all containing terrifying energy, shot out from his hand.

They didn't shoot towards Chen Ao.

Instead, they ignored spatial distance and, in an instant, all submerged into the massive and broken asura dharma body.

Three skill cards under a 256-fold multiplication effect.

In a very short time, he used three skills separately and interrupted them, then performed Card Transformation, then stacked Ghost Card multiplication, and then threw them to Zhao Tianyang.

This was the limit Lin Yu could achieve in an instant.

The moment the light surged in.

Zhao Tianyang's asura dharma body, which was on the verge of collapse due to the burning of his life force, suddenly trembled.

A majestic surge of life energy, like a bursting flood, wildly coursed through his body.

Vitality Nourishment began to take effect!

Those bone-deep wounds, those constantly disintegrating edges of his body, began to heal and re-solidify at a visible rate!

Immediately after.

A layer of armor, as black as ink yet with a metallic texture, emerged from his body.

Upon the armor, ancient and mysterious patterns lit up, and an aura of invincibility, impenetrable by all magic, erupted.

Divine Skeleton Armor, equipped!

The Clear Mirror, Still Water characteristic, activated!

A clear energy, like a mountain spring, surged directly into Zhao Tianyang's mind.

That sea of consciousness, completely occupied by slaughter and madness, seemed to have had a ten-thousand-year-old piece of ice thrown into it.

Sizzle!

The crimson sea instantly froze!

In the depths of those blood-red eyes, which had only destruction as their instinct, for the first time, a trace of struggle appeared.

A trace of clarity.

Finally.

Wind, fire, thunder, lightning... eight violent elemental forces, under the blessing of Eight Desolations Reversion, poured into his eight ferocious arms!

The hellish weapons, originally composed of blood fiend energy, were, at this moment, imbued with entirely new attributes!

Burning war hammers! Claws entwined with lightning! Long blades that froze all things!

Everything happened in a flash!

When Chen Ao's destructive strike, carrying six elemental forces, was about to smash onto Zhao Tianyang's head.

That previously lowered head, a sign of submission.

Slowly, lifted up.

Those blood-red eyes were still blood-red.

But in that redness, it was no longer pure madness.

Instead, it was something even more terrifying.

Rational, cold, relentless... hatred!

He saw it.

He saw the old ghost kneeling in the ruins, holding Seventh Master's corpse, heartbroken with grief.

He saw Chen Ao floating in mid-air, his face twisted in rage, cruelly striking at him.

Finally.

He saw the one standing not far away, calmly watching all of this, his master.

Lin Yu.

Zhao Tianyang's body no longer trembled.

He slowly rose from his kneeling posture.

That broken asura dharma body, under the blessing of the three Primordial-grade skills, not only did not collapse but instead exuded a more terrifying and solid pressure than ever before!

Chen Ao's attack stopped in mid-air.

He was completely frozen.

He looked at the scene before him in disbelief.

What happened?

Why?

Why did this mad monster's aura instantly surge several times over!

Why did a glimmer of rationality appear in his deranged eyes!

This is impossible!

However, Zhao Tianyang did not give him time to think.

The asura, with his rationality restored, turned his inquiring gaze towards Lin Yu.

Waiting for orders.

Lin Yu still didn't speak.

He just calmly raised his right hand, extending his index finger.

Across dozens of meters, he pointed distantly at the figure in mid-air who was completely stunned.

Chen Ao.

The order was given.

"Roar—!"

An earth-shattering roar exploded from Zhao Tianyang's chest!

This was no longer the shriek of a beast.

This was a warrior's roar of vengeance, unleashed after suppressing all his pain and anger!

Rumble!

The ground beneath his feet shattered inch by inch!

The massive asura body transformed into a dark red streak of light, soaring into the sky!

Eight arms, burning with elemental flames, brandished various destructive weapons, charging resolutely and tragically towards the King of Linzhou Black Market!

Actively charging towards those six chaotic elemental orbs, capable of destroying everything!

In the ruins, the old ghost stopped crying.

He looked at the asura, whose fighting spirit was rekindled, and at the young man who gave the orders, and in his cloudy eyes, a fanatical light, like that of one who had escaped disaster, burst forth.

Boss!

He really is the boss!

In the entire arena, only one person was still immersed in an incomprehensible and immense absurdity.

Chen Ao.

He looked at the asura, whose aura was ten times more terrifying than before, charging towards him.

He looked at those cold, rational eyes, filled with killing intent.

Boom!

Heaven and earth, at this moment, inverted.

The dark red asura and the king surrounded by six-colored elemental orbs collided with a thunderous crash in mid-air!

No skill.

No probing.

It was the purest, most primitive clash of power!

A violent energy storm, centered on the point of impact, transformed into a visible ring of destructive light, sweeping wildly in all directions!

This time, the power of the shockwave was more terrifying than any previous one.

However, Lin Yu's gaze was not focused on that earth-shattering battle at all.

His entire mind was concentrated on Zhao Tianyang.

Or rather, on the effects of the three cards he had just thrown out.

It worked.

It really worked!

The ink-black armor on Zhao Tianyang's body was precisely Divine Skeleton Armor.

And his eyes, though still blood-red, now filled with cold rationality and hatred, were the best proof that the Clear Mirror, Still Water characteristic had taken effect!

Immunity to all mental attacks.

Greatly enhanced mental stability.

Chen Ao's proud "Awakening Thorn," which was powerful enough to forcibly awaken the uncontrolled, couldn't even make a ripple in front of Clear Mirror, Still Water.

And just now.

The moment Zhao Tianyang went from kneeling to erupting and confronting Chen Ao.

His movements were incredibly fast, his figure elusive, completely inconsistent with the agility expected of his massive size.

That wasn't just speed.

That was "Treading Snow Without Trace"!

Although he was currently in combat, the passive boost brought by "Treading Snow Without Trace" still caused a qualitative change in Zhao Tianyang's mobility!

In Lin Yu's heart, an uncontrollable joy quietly surged.

He had gambled correctly!

The "characteristics" unlocked by Primordial-grade skills upon promotion could indeed be bestowed upon others along with the skill itself!

If that was the case, then Old Seven might not be completely beyond saving.
