A Shift in the Offensive

Seeing the Eight Trigrams Finger Tiger glowing in Old Yuan's hand, Luo Jun frowned deeply.

His Legendary Treasure Item consume hundreds of points of energy each time, and the consumption of Mythic Treasure Item must be even greater. So before, his Master only used the hardness of the Eight Trigrams Finger Tiger for close-quarters combat... But once he discovered that he had the ability to Devour Protective Qi, he decisively created distance and finally began to use the abilities of Mythic Treasure Item.

The eight trigrams—Qian, Kun, Gen, Dui, Xun, Zhen, Kan, and Li—represent a natural phenomenon, and thus an ability. This "Eight Trigrams Finger Tiger" is likely similar to the Elemental Trap Chess, a multi-faceted treasure with diverse abilities. However, Luo Jun estimates that both its variety of transformations and the strength of its abilities far surpass those of the Elemental Trap Chess.

If this treasure is considered as a medium for unleashing elemental abilities, then its upper limit should exceed that of ordinary Elemental School Cultivators, which perfectly makes up for Old Yuan's lack of the ability to the Heart Refining Realm!

They're getting harder and harder to deal with... Previous encounters were all over in the blink of an eye, but now there are still more than ten minutes left, and I only have seven dice rolls left. My Master is starting to widen the gap again.

This is a complete dead end!

But Luo Jun did not give up... He had already devised a plan in his mind... He only had one chance; success meant life, failure meant death!

As his thoughts raced, only a fleeting moment had passed in the real-world events when he saw Old Yuan's fists clasp together, and a powerful wave of energy emanated from the friction of his Eight Trigrams Finger Tiger.

This is... Luo Jun suddenly felt hundreds of times heavier on his body, and the solid floor tiles under his feet were cracked. The entire arena seemed to have sank a bit!

Gravity has been greatly enhanced... Is this the power of "Kun"?

Just as he was in shock, another wave shot out, but it was an invisible blade that was slashing straight at Luo Jun's neck!

It was Wind Blade! Luo Jun dodged decisively; the invisible blade grazed his shoulder, leaving a clear wound!

This power... is no weaker than Storm Strom's Ultimate Move in the Miracle Chess Game... Is this the power of "Wind"?

Under the strong gravity, Luo Jun's speed was greatly limited. Just as he regained his footing, dazzling Thunder Light flashed on Old Yuan's knuckle duster!

It was "Zhen's" turn to be defeated!

Lightning's speed is incomparable to Wind Blade; it can only be dodged by anticipation. Moreover, Luo Jun is currently under the influence of high gravity, making it impossible for him to avoid it with his own strength...

"Dice of Heavenly Secrets, dodge lightning!"

We have to take a gamble!

"Ding! Event Difficulty 100 points, Final Points 64 + 5 points, Event Failed!"

"As expected..." Seeing that the Thunder Light was about to shoot out, Luo Jun could only hope to withstand it with his strong physique... But then, that strange feeling appeared again!

The slowing effect, combined with the constantly flickering, poised-to-launch Thunder Light, gave him an alluring feeling...

Could it be that...

The instant the dice roll ended, Luo Jun reactivated the event, this time changing the event details!

"Devour Thunder Light!"

"Ding! Event Difficulty: 88 points; Final Points: 85 + 5 points; Event Success!"

It really worked!

The ability granted by the Pig Biscuit isn't just limited to Devour Protective Qi; it can even absorb skills built from elemental energy?

This is simply divine! Such a powerful Noble Phantasm, yet it's only worth a Rare-level? Is it because of its excessively severe side effects?

There was no time for Luo Jun to think. Seeing the thick bolt of Thunder Light erupt, he suddenly opened his mouth and inhaled sharply!

Crack!

Suddenly, a thick, dazzling bolt of lightning connected Old Yuan and him. This lightning was incredibly powerful, illuminating the entire pyramid. It was hundreds of times stronger than Lei Tianyang's all-out Ultimate Move. However, the terrifying energy contained within it did not harm Luo Jun, who was facing its edge. Instead, it was all sucked into Luo Jun's mouth!

This feels so good...

After the surging Lightning Element entered his stomach, it instantly filled the meridians that had just been broken through. After rushing around for a while, it was assimilated into his own power and flowed obediently.

Now Luo Jun understood why this cookie was only Rare-level.

While this ability can devour and neutralize skills built from vital energy, it lacks the ability to transform them. It simply crams power into your body, leaving you to digest it yourself, regardless of whether your meridians can withstand it.

Luo Jun was able to withstand the ravages of lightning because his energy was a hundred times greater than that of an ordinary person and his meridians were strong enough. He was also able to quickly restore the lightning to its basic energy state because of his previous experience in resolving thousands of different types of energy.

If it were someone else, their meridians would probably be destroyed the moment they were devoured.

Of course, directly Devour Protective Qi and Yuan Qi would be much less of a burden, but Luo Jun could feel that absorbing lightning was significantly different from Devour Protective Qi. Qi was generated directly from the meridians, and Old Yuan, as the master, had absolute control over it. Although Luo Jun could absorb it, he could only seize the outer layer and could not absorb too much at once.

In summary, while the Devouring Devour Protective Qi technique can absorb a large amount at once, it can absorb everything, but the body cannot withstand it... Although this thing is powerful, it also has great drawbacks. Only in the hands of someone who can bear all the drawbacks can it exert its miraculous effect.

For example, Luo Jun!

The Thunder Light lasted for several seconds before finally going out. Old Yuan couldn't help but look at his brass knuckles, and then at the young man opposite him.

Luo Jun let out a burp, and a puff of white smoke rose from his mouth.

"Master... since that's the case, then don't blame me for offending you!"

Originally worried about how to get close, Luo Jun, now confident after the experiment, charged directly towards Old Yuan!

Gravity Field is an invisible force that cannot be swallowed, but Luo Jun's physical strength is sufficient to allow him to move freely under the pressure... As for the other skills released by Old Yuan, whether it is Wind Blade, fire, or water, he opened his mouth wide and absorbed them all! Even the swamp used to restrict his movements was "drunk" clean by him!

In any case, these manifested natural phenomena are just appearances; once they enter the stomach, they will all be restored to vital energy.

As for the success rate, compared to the near-lightning speed of lightning, he could easily devour other skills with his reaction time. Only when Thunder Light flashed would he rely on dice to increase the success rate. In this way, Luo Jun endured the attacks of various elements and approached his Master all the way.

Since activating the Gravity Field, Old Yuan himself hasn't moved an inch, which suggests that gravity has affected him as well. Unlike other abilities, the damage gravity inflicts on internal organs is difficult to resist with internal energy; one can only rely on their physical strength and the protection of their internal vital energy to withstand it. Therefore, in terms of resistance to high gravity, Old Yuan is probably far inferior to his disciple!

Gravity restricted his opponent, but it also restricted him. By the time Luo Jun was right in front of him, he had nowhere to hide!

"Master, this time, it's your turn to be cornered!" Luo Jun swung his fist and punched!
