146: Chapter 146 A Fleeting Moment of Eternity!

And at that moment, Lu Yin slowly drew a longsword crafted from Dragon bone.

This sword was obtained back when he had slain Dragon, and had been kept in a corner ever since.

After all, he had never truly faced a life-or-death crisis, so there was no need for him to personally intervene.

But now the situation was different; he had awakened his second profession.

The Time-Space Sword Master bestowed upon him terrifying combat abilities, allowing him to play some crucial roles on the battlefield.

Cooperating with Lin Xiao and the Three Legion Commanders, turning the tables on the three leaders of the Brotherhood didn't seem impossible.

However, before that, he had one more thing to do.

To possess the capability to fight against Awakening Level Professionals, he needed to have corresponding attributes.

He remembered Chen Yuan once saying that the limit for a Professional's attributes before the second turn was one hundred thousand.

He now intended to push his attributes to that limit.

Although this would waste some attribute points during future level-ups, it wasn't important to Lu Yin.

It was just a matter of killing a few more monsters and absorbing a few more souls of death.

"Heh, a mere first turn Professional dares to draw his sword against us?"

Shadow Chief watched Lu Yin's actions, a trace of mockery appearing on his face.

However, Lu Yin ignored his words, merely raising his palm slightly and uttering a low chant.

"Death Souls... Devour!"

Boom!

The air within the entire barrier suddenly solidified!

Countless souls of death, in hues of ashen gray, deep blue, and dark purple, manifested from the void.

As if drawn by an invisible force, they madly surged toward Lu Yin's body.

Lu Yin's aura began to skyrocket, the numbers on his attribute panel increasing at an unprecedented rate.

Along with tearing pain, his strength also rapidly soared.

[Strength: 3500...62000...100000!]

[Endurance: 3200...65000...100000!]

[...]

Almost in the blink of an eye, his attributes reached the pre-second turn limit.

Combined with the tenfold amplification from his Life Mark, his current four-dimensional attributes now reached a full one million.

"Wh-what skill is this?!"

Demon Head's pupils contracted sharply; he sensed the aura emanating from Lu Yin was approaching that of an Awakening Level Professional at a shocking speed.

Lu Yin felt the surging power within his body, as if every cell was cheering with joy.

The overwhelming sense of power from a million attributes almost made him want to roar at the sky.

He gently swung the dragon bone longsword in his hand; the blade cut through the air, stirring faint spatial ripples.

"Now, it's my turn."

Lu Yin's voice was calm, carrying a chilling coldness.

"Hmph! Trying to mystify us!"

After a brief moment of shock, Shadow Chief snorted coldly.

He had naturally seen skills that temporarily boosted power like this before.

For example, the Golden Fighters of the Golden Cult could all enhance their combat power by boosting their attributes through skills.

However, the consequence of doing so often came with a great price.

Before Shadow Chief's words fully faded, his figure split like a ghost once more, several shadows attacking Lu Yin from different angles.

This time, the shadows were faster, their trajectories more bizarre, each clone carrying a sharpness that could tear space.

But Lu Yin simply stood quietly in place, silver light swirling in his eyes.

"Be careful, he can use spatial power!"

Demon Head, watching the silver radiance undulating around Lu Yin, reminded with lingering fear.

As he expected, just as Shadow Chief approached within ten meters of Lu Yin,

Lu Yin's gaze shifted slightly as he softly uttered a few syllables.

"Momentary Eternity!"

In that instant, the space around Lu Yin seemed to solidify into silver amber.

The several shadow clones Shadow Chief had split into abruptly halted less than five meters from Lu Yin, like fish frozen in the river of time.

The movements, expressions, even the shadow energy swirling around each clone, all froze in that moment.

"Wh-what is that?!"

Demon Head, not far away, exclaimed in shock, instinctively releasing magic to provide support.

And what Lu Yin was waiting for was precisely this moment.

As Demon Head raised his hand, Lu Yin shifted the vast majority of his attributes to Strength.

Then, he slashed fiercely forward; the blade descended, the attack transformed.

Under Demon Head's incredulous gaze, Lu Yin, dozens of meters away, actually struck his body with a sword.

-9896546!

A damage value nearing ten million floated above his head, directly emptying his health bar.

Demon Head's soul nearly fled in terror; fortunately, he had a life-saving passive skill, otherwise, that single strike would have sent him straight to the afterlife.

Just as Demon Head retreated in horror, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in the eyes of Shadow Chief, who was imprisoned in time and space.

"Shadow Sacrifice!"

Shadow Chief chanted lowly; his health instantly dropped by half.

But his Strength value skyrocketed, actually tearing apart the solidified space by sheer force.

"Shadow Tendrils!"

Countless tendrils condensed from shadows extended from behind Shadow Chief, like black spears aimed directly at Lu Yin.

Wherever these tendrils passed, fine cracks appeared in space.

"Die!"

Seeing the Shadow Tendrils about to pierce through Lu Yin, Shadow Chief let out a triumphant, maniacal laugh.

Yet, at this critical moment, a faint, almost imperceptible smile curled at the corner of Lu Yin's mouth.

The necklace around his neck emitted a dreamlike glow.

"Dreamweaver!"

In an instant, Lu Yin was engulfed by the dreamy light, and all his skill cooldowns were reset.

"Momentary Eternity!"

Shadow Chief's maniacal laughter cut off abruptly. Silver light bloomed once more, even more dazzling and radiant than before.

"Now, who is the one who should die?"

Shadow Chief's pupils contracted violently; he felt an unprecedented sense of crisis enveloping his entire body.

"Space-Time Severance!"

Lu Yin's voice was icy and calm, as if announcing a predetermined outcome.

The dragon bone longsword in his hand erupted with brilliant silver light at that moment, an elegant sword scar slicing through the air.

Shadow Chief only felt his body being torn apart, his consciousness gradually being stripped away.

"No, impossible!"

Shadow Chief roared in disbelief. He wanted to break free but found himself completely unable to move.

He could only watch helplessly as his body was brutally shredded like brocade.

16564656!

The terrifying damage exceeding ten million directly emptied the health bar of Shadow Chief, who had already sacrificed half his health.

"Bastard! You just wait!"

Shadow Chief's body shattered piece by piece in the silver sword light, finally dissolving into specks of black light that vanished into the air.

There was no system kill notification; clearly, Shadow Chief had not truly died.

Lu Yin hadn't expected to kill an Awakening Level Professional so easily either.

After all, Professionals who reached this level all had some life-preserving methods.

However, Shadow Chief's miserable state plunged the entire battlefield into a momentary dead silence.

Demon Head's face turned deathly pale. He never expected this first turn Professional could unleash such terrifying power in such a short time.

Although Shadow Chief wasn't truly dead, this severe injury was enough to greatly deplete his vitality, making recovery difficult in the short term.

"Damn it..." Demon Head gritted his teeth, a flash of retreat in his eyes.

However, Lu Yin did not give him time to think.

"Next, it's your turn."
