Lin Shen stared blankly at Ji Shisan, wondering whether this guy had been kicked in the head by a donkey.
Power attributes were only a foundation. Once an attribute reached a certain level and the body could withstand laws, the contest was no longer one of simple attributes, but of laws and mechanisms.
After Nirvana Again, even without using skills or Defier of Fate, Lin Shen's speed, hardness, and resilience had all reached the capped limit of eighty thousand. His strength had even broken through the limit and was nearing one hundred thousand.
But what did breaking through one hundred thousand matter? Top-tier Upper God-Humans all possessed eighty thousand strength. Any random skill that doubled it could bring them to one hundred sixty thousand.
And that was merely a simple doubling through a skill. A Great Emperor Divine Artifact like the Purple Micro Myriad Image Pearl, with its super-doubling ability, could multiply strength by hundreds of thousands or even millions in an instant.
In theory, possessing the Purple Micro Myriad Image Pearl should have made one invincible in attributes.
Yet even when the Purple Micro Myriad Image Pearl was used alongside three other Great Emperor Divine Artifacts, it had still lost to the First Immortal—so thoroughly that it had been utterly unable to withstand a single blow.

It was like having an incredible computer program with immensely powerful functions, only for a hacker to invade it, sabotage it until it failed, or even turn around and seize control of it.
No matter how strong your attributes were, they were difficult to bring into play before rules and mechanisms. Only rules and mechanisms of the same level could restrain
