In the deep and silent corridor of bones, time seemed to have frozen. Only the Bone Gate, blocked by huge ribs, stood silently at the end, exuding a heart-stopping unknown aura.
War God O'Brien and High Priestess Catherine has entered the deepest state of trance, and the divine power around his body fluctuates weakly, like a candle in the wind. It is obvious that repairing the divine body and restoring the exhausted divine power is not a short-term effort. Dylan and Cesar also sit cross-legged, their injuries slowly healing under the flow of divine power, and their breaths gradually stabilize.
Lin Qin chose a corner relatively far away from Bone Gate, with its back against the wall of bones. He first placed several bone fragments obtained from Dark Gold Giant Ape Skeleton and the dim deep purple soul fire in front of him, and then took He took out the Earth Divine Sword that was used in the previous battle and was slightly damaged and lay it on his knees. He did not immediately enter into deep meditation. Instead, he scanned the surroundings carefully with his spiritual consciousness. After confirming that it was temporarily safe, he began to sort out the gains from this battle, especially his understanding of the true meaning of "power condensation".
He closed his eyes and kept replaying the punch that defeated Giant Ape Skeleton in his mind. It was not the result, but the process - how to operate the whole body's divine power in a high-frequency oscillation, how to capture the fleeting stagnation point of power, how to combine the power of shock with the penetrating power of the ultimate concentration that he had just realized, and finally break through the indestructible defense.
"Shock - conduction - range - this is the foundation of "Pulsation"."
"Condensation--penetration--explosion--a Point-Break surface--this is the prototype of power."
"The two are not completely opposite -"
He stretched out his finger, and a wisp of earth-yellow divine power emerged from his fingertips. He tried to make this ray of divine power maintain high-frequency vibration and extreme inward compression at the same time. At first, the two conflicted violently, and the divine power almost collapsed out of control. But he was determined and undeterred, failed again and again, and made adjustments again and again. He has an extraordinary and precise control of the divine power, which is the foundation of countless sweats under "Heaven Rewards Diligence".
Time passed quietly in this attempt again and again. Maybe a few days passed, maybe a few months passed. It is difficult to accurately sense it in this tomb that has lost the rotation of the sun and the moon.
Finally, during a certain attempt, the fiercely conflicting divine power suddenly trembled, and the vibration and compression reached a certain delicate balance point. They were no longer mutually exclusive, but formed a strange symbiotic state. The divine power was still vibrating at high speed, but the amplitude of the vibration was extremely compressed within a point, making the energy contained in this point extremely terrifying, like a miniature star that could explode at any time, exuding heart-stopping fluctuations.
"It's done!" Lin Qin's eyes flashed. Although this was only the most preliminary fusion, and the scope was limited to the fingertips of divine power, but its power, he felt, was far beyond the ability to cast any kind of mystery alone.
He did not stop, but began to apply this preliminary fusion technique to more complex operations of divine power. From fingertips, to palms, to arms - this was an extremely slow and mind-consuming process that required micro-level control and a deep understanding of two powers with different characteristics. Each expansion was accompanied by countless failures and the pain of divine power backlash, but he never frowned, just endured it silently, and then continued.
His Earth Divine Clone is concentrating on practicing here, and his true self, Yulan Continent Dragon Rock Territory, who is far away, is also not idle.
Deep inside Dragon Rock Territory, Lord's Mansion, there is a heavy practice room made entirely of Black Jade Stone.
The true form of Lin Qin is bare-chested, revealing muscles with clear lines that look like cast steel. He is not running Battle Qi, and is performing extremely boring weight-bearing exercises with pure physical strength. He holds a thick Black Jade Stone chain in each hand, and the other chain is The ends were connected to two pieces of stone Black Jade Stone that were as big as a hut. He bent and stretched his arms again and again, slowly lifting the two huge stones, and then slowly lowering them. The movements seemed slow, but every muscle fiber was groaning under the load, and sweat dripped down his bronzed skin like a stream, accumulating in small puddles under his feet.
This is a test of the limits of the physical body, the most primitive manifestation of "Heaven Rewards Diligence". There are no tricks, only persistence day after day, squeezing out every ounce of potential in the body, and moving slowly but firmly towards the goal comparable to Midgod Artifact.
At the same time, most of his mind is also immersed in the deduction of the two Profound Mystery Fusion. The original soul and Divine Clone have the same soul and share the same understanding. Every time Divine Clone tries to fuse with Graveyard of the Gods, its experience, its difficulties, and its moments of success are all simultaneously absorbed, understood, and deepened by the original one.
In addition to practicing, he will also deal with territorial affairs. Soros, Old Jack, Hosen, Bader, Murphy and others will summarize and report important matters. Dragon Rock Territory is in Chaos Territory's rule is becoming increasingly stable, absorbing refugees, reclaiming wasteland, and training the army, and everything is in order. Aileen has shown outstanding talents in magic construction and internal affairs coordination, and has a tacit understanding with Soros, which makes Lin Qin worry a lot.
Occasionally, he would also spar with the Saint Realm Golden Holy Dragon Pallas who stayed in the territory. Pallas was shocked by the speed at which Lin Qin's strength improved, especially the occasional attacks that perfectly combined heaviness and penetration, which frightened even Golden Holy Dragon, who was known for his physical body and strength.
Time flies by, Yulan Continent changes from Spring to Autumn, Dragon Rock Territory develops and grows steadily. But in Graveyard of the Gods Thirteenth Floor, time seems to have lost its meaning.
War God and High Priestess are still like two stone statues with weak breaths. Dylan and Cesar have long since recovered. They occasionally talk in low voices or move within a limited range in the corridor. The alert may be out. Scattered skeletons appeared, but most of the time was spent in meditation, digesting the previous battle insights. Cesar's "Shadow Clone Technique" seemed to be even more weird and unpredictable, and the Destruction aura on Dylan's body became more and more condensed.
The way they looked at the corner where Lin Qin was, gradually became more solemn and surprising from the dull look at the beginning. Because the fluctuations of divine power emanating from that corner were sometimes as heavy and steady as the earth, and sometimes they suddenly became extremely sharp and full of Destruction nature. It was an aura that made them all feel vaguely threatening.
Lin Qin was completely immersed in the practice. He expanded the initial fusion from his arms to his whole body. This was a hard work, and every strand of Earth Divine Power circulating in the body needed to be marked with this fusion. The process was excruciatingly slow, but he was not distracted.
I don't know how long it has been, maybe three or four years, maybe more.
The dark purple soul fire in front of his knees has long since completely dissipated because he continued to absorb the true meaning of power contained in it. The few dark gold bone fragments have also become dim, and the traces of energy and laws contained within have been absorbed.
On this day, the khaki divine power that was flowing smoothly around Lin Qin suddenly began to fluctuate violently like boiling. A pressure as heavy as a mountain and a sharp edge erupted from his body at the same time, but strangely merged into one.
He opened his eyes suddenly, and there seemed to be countless tiny earth-yellow crystal lights in his eyes. He slowly raised his right hand and made a fist. There was no dazzling light. There was only an earth-yellow halo on the surface of the fist that was so solid that it seemed to carry the weight of the entire earth. Inside the halo, there were countless high-frequency vibrations that were so fine that they were difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.
He aimed at the empty corridor in front of him and punched randomly.
The action is unpretentious.
"Buzz-
Wherever the fist passed, the space emitted an overwhelming low roar, and a twisted transparent ripple visible to the naked eye spread forward. The ripple touched an abnormally thick dark brown leg bone in the distance that was half buried in the pile of bones and left by an unknown creature.
There were no earth-shattering explosions.
The dark brown leg bone, which was as hard as an ordinary Lowgod Artifact, first silently turned into powder on the surface at the moment when it was passed by transparent ripples. Then, the internal structure seemed to be crushed and shattered from every point by an invisible force. The whole body disintegrated from the outside inward, inch by inch, and finally turned into a cloud of extremely fine powder that floated away.
The whole process was eerily quiet.
In the corridor, Dylan and Cesar opened their eyes almost at the same time, looking at the scattered bone powder in horror, and then at Lin Qin who slowly retracted his fist.
This punch does not have the tricks used when defeating Death Cross Slash before, nor the precise surprise when breaking through the giant ape's defense. It is a manifestation of pure power. But the power has changed qualitatively! It perfectly combines the concussive damage of the range with the ultimate point-like penetration, forming a more terrifying existence. The attack will destroy both the inside and outside, and there is no way to avoid it!
Lin Qin felt Earth Divine Power, who was already carrying this brand new characteristic, feeling the surge in his body. His heart was calm. Eighty-nine years of sitting and polishing, countless failures and adjustments, finally stabilized the results of the initial fusion of these two mysteries, and pushed it to a current bottleneck. He felt that taking another step forward would be a qualitative leap, but that would require deeper accumulation or a stronger opportunity.
Compared with when he first entered Graveyard of the Gods, his strength has increased by more than three times! Now facing Dark Gold Giant Ape Skeleton, he is confident that he can defeat it head-on with just this fused power without the help of others!
He calmed down the aura around him, and the palpitating fluctuations disappeared instantly, and he returned to his calm and restrained appearance.
"Congratulations." Dylan's voice came with a hint of complexity. He considered himself to be extremely talented. As a divine beast, his training years were far longer than Lin Qin's. But at this moment, he felt a real threat from Lin Qin.
Cesar also came over and marveled. "Brother Lin Qin, the speed of your progress is really unbearable. That punch just now made my scalp numb just looking at it."
Lin Qin shook his head slightly. "With a little progress, the road ahead is still long." His eyes swept over War God and High Priestess, who were still in deep meditation, "They haven't woken up yet?"
Dylan said indifferently, "The divine body is damaged and the divine power is exhausted. It will be difficult to recover in less than ten years. Depending on the situation, it is estimated that it will take several years."
Cesar interface. "Anyway, we have a lot of time, and we can't get out of this damn place, so just wait. Just in time, brother Lin Qin, your strength has greatly improved now, let's compare notes? Let me also feel the power of your new power?" There was eagerness to try in his eyes.
Lin Qin glanced at him and nodded. "Yes."
He also needs actual combat to test and adapt to this fused power.
In the next few years, in this dead Thirteenth Floor corridor, the muffled sound of the collision of divine powers and the shouting of Cesar would occasionally be heard. During the discussion between Lin Qin and Cesar, He constantly adjusted how to use the fusion power, from the initial strong and heavy power, which was difficult to control finely, to gradually becoming more and more flexible. Weight as Lightness. Cesar's "Shadow Clone Technique" and weird body skills became his best whetstone.
Dylan would occasionally come to the end, and his discussions with Lin Qin were more direct and violent. They were often head-on confrontations, with constant roars, adding a bit more "life" to this silent tomb.
Time continues to flow. In total, nearly nine years have passed since I entered Thirteenth Floor and started to rest.
On this day, War God O'Brien, who was sitting quietly like a stone sculpture, suddenly experienced a wave of aura around his body. Then, the weak divine power began to slowly increase, like a spark of fire starting a prairie fire. A few days later, High Priestess Catherine also showed similar signs.
Finally, at a certain moment, the two of them opened their eyes almost at the same time. Although their faces were still a little tired, their eyes had regained their vitality, and the fluctuations in their divine power had stabilized at the Lowgod level. However, it seemed to be slightly worse than in its heyday, and it was obvious that it had not fully returned to its peak.
They looked at Lin Qin, who was engaged in a silent but extremely dangerous close combat with Cesar, and felt the aura of mellowness and restraint in his body that concealed shocking power, and their eyes showed unconcealable shock.
O'Brien took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "It seems that a lot of things happened while we were sleeping."
Catherine nodded slightly, his eyes fell on Lin Qin, with a sigh, "Your Excellency Lin Qin, congratulations on your great improvement in strength."
The two people discussing in the field stopped. Cesar wiped away the non-existent sweat and exclaimed, "You are finally awake! If I go back to sleep, I will be beaten up by brother Lin Qin until I can't find my way!"
Lin Qin stopped and nodded slightly to War God and High Priestess: "It will be good if you two recover."
Dylan also walked over and said coldly, "Now that everyone is awake and most of their condition has recovered, it's time to decide the next step."
Everyone's eyes once again turned to the huge rib Bone Gate at the end of the corridor.
Fourteenth Floor is right in front of you. There, it is said that there is an artifact or treasure of the middle Godhead level, but the danger must be far greater than Thirteenth Floor.
War God O'Brien looked at Bone Gate, his eyes flickered, and finally turned into a sigh, "Catherine and I, the state has not been restored, forced to enter Fourteenth Floor, I'm afraid I will become a burden." He looked at Dylan, Cesar and Lin Qin, "The road ahead still depends on the three of you."
High Priestess Catherine also whispered, "Be careful. If something cannot be done, return it in time. Although the treasure is good, life is more important."
Lin Qin The three of them looked at each other.
Cesar grinned. "Don't worry, with the great god Lin Qin here, we are very confident!"
Dylan snorted coldly, but did not refute.
Lin Qin looked at the fan Bone Gate calmly, feeling the silent but powerful fusion power in his body. He had finished resting and it was time to move on.
