Chapter 146: Chapter 119 Perfect Advancement!

Wu Xiaode returned to his room.

This time, he still had no solution against the One-eyed Giant.

But there were gains.

His premonition of death had improved by a level.

More importantly—

He had learned something of utmost importance.

The Book of the Dead should contain a battle summary, probably just as he had anticipated.

Wu Xiaode looked toward the Void.

He saw that the Book of the Dead had quietly opened, revealing lines of ice crystal letters:

"Your Mind Reading Technique was broken by the One-eyed Giant."

"New information has been obtained:"

"Any skill of the One-eyed Giant is ineffective against its own body and is certain to be dispelled."

So that was it.

—This path is impassable.

Wu Xiaode sighed.

If he learned all the abilities of the One-eyed Giant and then eagerly awaited to return to the Death Demon Cave a few days later, wouldn’t that be seeking death?

Fortunate that he had realized this through so many deaths!

Then, was there any other way to deal with the One-eyed Giant?

It knew all the skills of all beings.

In its presence, using its skills would fail.

...Then there was only one way.

Death Skill!

He must search within the Death Skills for a method, to have a glimmer of hope!

Wu Xiaode flipped through the Book of the Dead, carefully examining the two walls on its pages.

The Wish Wall.

The insurmountable Wall of Sighs for all beings.

The Wish Wall is for posting and completing commissions to increase the upper limit of Soul Power.

The Wall of Sighs is for sacrificing other skills to specialize in enhancing Death system abilities.

If that was the case...

The Mind Reading Technique...

Since it could not help him overcome the One-eyed Giant, it would be better to sacrifice it to raise the level of his Death Skills again.

"Sacrifice the Mind Reading Technique, enhance ’Silent Demon Mist,’" said Wu Xiaode.

A line of ice crystal letters quickly emerged:

"The Mind Reading Technique is a high-level ability from the One-eyed Giant, are you sure you want to sacrifice it?"

"Yes," Wu Xiaode replied.

Black mist billowed incessantly from the Wall of Sighs, each wisp sinking into the skull emblem with a white flower in its eye socket.

The emblem began to slowly rotate.

In a moment.

The white flower bloomed even more profusely.

Rows of ice crystal letters appeared on the dark wall:

"Sacrifice complete."

"Due to the high level of the Mind Reading Technique, your ’Silent Demon Mist’ has undergone an upgrade."

"Current traits: ’Fog Shadow,’ ’Dirty Magic Hand.’

"The compatibility of the Mind Reading Technique is closer to ’Fog Shadow,’ so choose to continue enhancing ’Fog Shadow.’

"’Fog Shadow’ has advanced a level, becoming ’Fog Shadower.’

"Effect:"

"Possesses even higher concealment abilities than ’Fog Shadow’ and can temporarily turn your body into mist."

"No casting interval."

"Maintaining the mist form consumes 1 point of Soul Power per second."

"Note: Impervious to attack damage in mist form."

Wu Xiaode clenched his fist tightly.

Good.

It had been the right choice to continue enhancing his Death Skills.

Previously, he could only turn into mist for three seconds and had to wait an hour between casts.

Now he could use it anytime.

This was suitable for battle!

If that was so... why not continue to farm skills?

"Add me in," Wu Xiaode said.

Whoosh—

He vanished from the room and arrived once more at the Death Demon Cave.

He wore the tattered Battle Armor.

In his hand, he still held the curl-edged long sword.

Wu Xiaode took a breath, about to speak, but suddenly felt a splitting headache, his mind reeled for an instant, and he almost couldn’t stand upright.

Atop Corpse Mountain, that voice echoed from afar:

"Ah, a bloodthirsty fellow, your passion for slaughter reminds me of those past years."

Wu Xiaode immediately suppressed that pain.

What was happening?

As he wondered, he saw the Book of the Dead float down from midair, displaying lines of ice crystal letters:

"You’ve experienced too many deaths in a short time."

"In the previous battles, your Soul Power was greatly depleted, and your physical strength has reached its limit."

"Both your soul and your body have reached their limits."

"Please start resting and eating immediately after your exploration of the mirror world is over."

"Otherwise, your soul is likely to burst."

Must he rest now?

A wasted trip?

Wu Xiaode felt a secret regret.

He raised his head, staring up at that colossal monster on Corpse Mountain, unwilling to give up.

Think fast.

Was there any way to scrape together a few more skills?

Wu Xiaode looked down at the curl-edged long sword in his hand and suddenly threw it away.

What’s the point in fighting when you’ve reached your limits? Now to think of another way!

Clang clang—

The long sword clanged against the floor.

This somewhat surprised the One-eyed Giant, who said in a low voice, "A piece of trash that wants to beg for mercy?"

Wu Xiaode’s eyelid twitched.

Forget it, don’t take it to heart with it, now it is the boss, and it’s the one to dish out the skills.

"Oh great God, I am your faithful believer!"

"I have killed tens of thousands of humans to build the stairway to heaven," Wu Xiaode declared loudly.

"Oh? Is that so?" the One-eyed Giant stared at him and said.

Almost at the same time, the Book of the Dead opened, revealing a line of ice crystal letters:

"The Giant’s Mind Reading Technique has been activated."

Wu Xiaode immediately forced himself to recall the appearance of the stairway to heaven and continued to think of that scene—

In the church, the moment he gained the recognition of all the believers.

He still had some experience in dealing with Mind Reading Technique.

Wu Xiaode’s thoughts continued to flow, conjuring up another notion:

"As a blood Butcher, I’ve killed tens of thousands, so why isn’t it enough to welcome the descent of God?"

"It seems that only through self-sacrifice in the name of faith do you stand a chance to witness God."

The One-eyed Giant squinted its eye.

To seek an audience with it through self-sacrifice?

Even with self-sacrifice, there’s only a slight possibility of entering its realm.

— The soul must meet a certain standard.

It hadn’t expected to have such fanatical believers... this was too extreme...

Wu Xiaode stretched out his hands, speaking loudly, "Oh great Divine, I am about to venture deep within the world to search for the black scepter. Before I embark on this quest, I offer up an abundant sacrifice to you, hoping to convey our piety and respect."

In his heart, he silently wished, "I hope God accepts this gift. Please, you must accept it!"

This thought was half deliberate and half a sincere wish.

If the One-eyed Giant consumed these offerings, it would represent its acknowledgment as a ’God’ of him as a "Believer."

Acknowledgment was crucial!

As Wu Xiaode thought this, he placed all the sacrificial food in front of him until it piled up.

The One-eyed Giant looked at the lavish food, then at Wu Xiaode.

— This was its lamb.

Such an obedient lamb!

Hmm... Religion was always a satisfying tool.

"It’s truly not easy, to come making such sacrifices... Your piety greatly pleases me, mortal," it said in a droning voice, with a trace of smugness not easily perceived.

Before it could finish speaking,

A resounding "clang" echoed—

A complete starburst appeared above the One-eyed Giant’s head.

In an instant,

The Book of the Dead promptly opened, quickly revealing a row of small ice crystal letters:

"Your actions and style have earned the appreciation of the One-eyed Giant."

"The book is resonating with the soul of the One-eyed Giant to seek a unique power exclusive to the Giant Clan."

"Given that the level of appreciation has reached one heart, the ability you gain will be stronger than ’Mind Reading Technique’."

"Congratulations."

"You have acquired the ability of the One-eyed Giant: Demon God Split Wave Palm."

Overjoyed, Wu Xiaode loudly exclaimed, "Disperse! Disband the illusion!"

The entire world instantly transformed into countless fleeting lines, vanishing into nothing around him.

He was back in the room once more.

This time, he collapsed onto the ground, so weighed down that he couldn’t lift his arms anymore.

All his strength had been spent in that moment.

He had reached his limit!

Gasping for air and wiping the sweat from his forehead, Wu Xiaode closed his eyes exhaustedly and rested for a few minutes.

Stay calm!

He mustn’t get carried away with this skill, he had to remain calm!

It wouldn’t work against the One-eyed Giant!

"Sacrifice! I offer this skill as a sacrifice to the second trait of the Silent Demon Mist: the dirty magic hand!" Wu Xiaode said coldly.

The Book of the Dead continued to float in front of him. It now opened and revealed a new line of ice crystal letters:

"Since the Demon God Split Wave Palm is a high-level attack skill suited to the trait of the dirty magic hand."

"With such a high-level attack skill offered up, the sacrifice results in a high standard of evolution."

"Your dirty magic hand has advanced to Thousand Hands."

"Thousand Hands:"

"Every time you hit an enemy, regardless of their defense, you accumulate an illusion of that attack."

"Thousand Hands can gather up to seven illusions and convert them into reality, releasing them."

Wu Xiaode looked somewhat speechlessly at the description of the ability.

Could it be—

This is actually——

What does that mean?

Wu Xiaode tried to swing his fist, lightly hitting the wall with a punch.

Thud!

A muffled sound.

A deep fist imprint appeared on the wall.

A tiny ice crystal number popped up on the fist imprint, displaying "1".

Wu Xiaode, expressionless, kept throwing punches at the wall.

More tiny ice crystal numbers jumped out on the wall: "2", "3", "4"...

Until "7".

Release.

Wu Xiaode silently commanded.

In an instant, nine Demon Hands appeared on the wall and, in accordance with his punching force and techniques earlier, bombarded the wall with seven consecutive punches!

So that’s how it is!

This is much like a special move in a fighting game!

As Wu Xiaode was thinking, suddenly, the Book of the Dead landed in front of him and abruptly released a boundless expanse of Demon Mist.

Within this mist, a dark wall emerged.

It was none other than the "Wall of Sighs that all beings cannot cross"!

A row of tiny ice crystal letters appeared before Wu Xiaode:

"Attention!"

"The current skill has reached a considerable standard and can make use of the strand of Holy Origin stolen by the pontiff."

"Upon its use, this skill will undergo a flawless evolution."

"Would you like to use the strand of Holy Origin?"

"If not used now, it can also be used at some future moment."

The Book of the Dead automatically turned its pages, presenting the page with a holy white glow to Wu Xiaode’s eyes.

This was the strand of Holy Origin stolen from the ’God’s’ curse by the pontiff.

——Should I use it or not?

Wu Xiaode only thought for a moment before making a decision.

If he could not face the One-eyed Giant four days from now, what future would there be to speak of?

A skill that could be enhanced immediately must be enhanced immediately!

"Use it right away."

Wu Xiaode spoke.

Instantly, rows of brand-new tiny ice crystal letters swiftly appeared:

"Item used: Holy Origin."

"Your ability: Dirty Magic Hand has completed a high-standard evolution and will now undergo another evolution."

"Current Evolution Level: Flawless."

"The ultimate power of your current ability has far exceeded what you know."

"Congratulations."

"You have acquired a new ability:"

"Thousand Hands."

"This Death system ability has three states."

"Normal state: When you don’t instruct it to defend or perform a Violent Kill, it will condense into two hands, still possessing the vile tactics of the Dirty Magic Hand."

"Defensive state: The Silent Demon Mist can materialize hundreds of bronze hands at any time to provide defense, and each hand’s strength is no different from yours."

"The Defensive state doesn’t consume your Soul Power."

"Violent Kill state: Command a thousand bronze hands to launch simultaneous attacks for ten seconds, and each hand’s strength is no different from yours; the techniques also echo your own attack moves."

"The Violent Kill state consumes all Soul Power."

Reading the description of his new skill, Wu Xiaode couldn’t help but inhale sharply.

This ability first evolved using a Demon God’s skill, and the second time, with the Holy Origin, resulting in effects that directly surpassed his own imagination!
