Chapter 342 Black Wasteland
Boom!
The battle came to an end, and Duke and Dunn Dragoon, who had come from afar, returned to the battleship Three Rings and set off back to Oak Tooth Mountain.
"Your combat power has surpassed mine." Dunn Dragon Cavalry lay on the chair and said with emotion, "It's unimaginable that without using the Star Cage Domain, I wouldn't be your opponent... Your continuous arcane attacks The magic missile is really powerful!"
The arcane missiles he was talking about were the bullets of the Four-ring Sand Eagle.
"The star cage field is the trump card of the stars. If I can't break the star cage now, I can't say that my combat power is better than yours." Duke said matter-of-factly.
It was he who invited Dunn Dragon Cavalry to come to Cuihai City for a visit and a discussion.
Since Sand Eagle's sublimation, three sets of forbidden arts systems have been successfully constructed. Duke's self-confidence has exploded. Coupled with the powerful output of three 5-ring arcane hands, he can only feel that he can compete with the stars.
That’s why Dunn Dragonlance was invited.
Among the familiar stars, although Dunn Dragonlance is not an arcanist, he is the best at fighting among arcane scholars and is the best candidate for discussion.
"The Star Cage is a domain magical power. This is also the trump card that the stars can use to control Yalong at will. Without the magical power, the stars cannot maintain their superior status." Dunn Dragonlance said, "But you are just an arcane mage of the earth. I must use it. Only magical means can suppress you, it’s hard to believe, hard to believe!”
Just in the previous discussion.
Duke was firing on all cylinders, with three arcane hands frantically casting arcane spells, constantly bombarding Dunn Dragon Lance.
He himself used the Sword of Glory to continuously decompose the arcane spells of Dunn Dragon Lance, and then used the four-ring sand eagle to harvest the battlefield, directly suppressing Dunn Dragon Lance and unable to raise his head, even if the opponent cast an offensive arcane spell. device, still failed to reverse the situation.
In the end, in desperation, Dunn Dragon Lancer released the Star Cage and locked himself.
That barrier of faint starlight may seem thin, but it makes it difficult for the four-ringed sand eagle's bullets to penetrate even half a step.
After Dunn Dragonlance became invincible with the Star Cage, he decisively bombarded Duke, and then with the help of the indestructible arcane spear, he pierced Duke's Immortal Grip defense in one fell swoop. On Duke's throat.
certainly.
Duke still has the last trump card. The starry dream brought by Duke's Star can escape from Dunn Dragonlance's killing move at any time.
But it’s just a discussion, there is no need to show your trump card.
“The stars are the stars, and it’s not like I can touch them.” Duke praised, “Your arcane spear is also very powerful, I can’t resist it.”
"This arcane weapon has the same name as the forbidden technique I practice, they are both called the Destruction Dragon Spear." Dunn Dragon Lance summoned his arcane weapon, "The 7th ring arcane weapon - the Destruction Dragon Spear, you can watch and learn. , it would be better if you could give me some guidance."
Duke took the arcane weapon spear, shook his head and said: "How can I guide you with the 7th ring arcane weapon?"
"You are too humble. The Seven Sages of the Five-ring Prophet, the number one sage in the world, how can you not guide me? Besides, your arcane weapon is more powerful than my Dragon Spear of Destruction, and its level is lower. It shows that you are In terms of attainments in arcane weapons, no one can match him.”
Although the Dragon Spear of Destruction has a powerful attack power, it is also difficult for Duke to withstand its attack from the 7-ring forbidden spell - Grip of Immortality.
But the Destruction Dragon Spear is a melee weapon after all.
Unlike Duke's four-ring sand eagle, which is locked at a super long range and can directly hit Dunn Dragon Lance unable to lift his head, and the continuous terminal bullets can always explode at the same point, exerting a continuously superimposed impact. And then destroy everything.
Comparing the two, it is obvious that the four-ring sand eagle is more worthy of the concept of indestructibility.
"My Destruction Dragon Spear has been equipped with magical effects. It can be said to be a divine weapon, but it can actually lose to an ordinary arcane weapon. Wow!" Dunn Dragon Lance was convinced, and the attack of the four-ring sand eagle The power left him frightened.
The rain of bullets, the continuous explosions, and the precise attacks that followed him all cast too great a shadow on him.
In the end, he had to use his magical powers to withstand the attack.
Duke did not brag about his four-ring sand eagle, but only limited his arcane eye and arcane hand, and then asked: "Do you mind if I take a closer look at the Destruction Dragon Spear?"
“Please do it.”
"Thank you." Duke no longer hesitated. The Arcane Weapon Eye and the Arcane Weapon Hand formed a simple arcane weapon reaching the sky. Then they were scattered into thousands of threads and quickly penetrated into the Destruction Dragon Spear to explore the structural details of the Destruction Dragon Spear. , to gain insight into how it works.
After a while, all the data that could be collected had been included in Xiaoyi's database.
With the help of supercomputing power, Xiaoyi quickly analyzed a bunch of information and submitted some obscure parts to Duke.
So Duke asked: "What model is the operation of supernatural powers based on? 7 rings, 8 rings or 9 rings?"
“To be precise, the basic model of supernatural power is a super ring.”
“Hyperloop?” Duke heard about it for the first time.
"Beyond the limit of the ring without breaking the level of the ring, thereby obtaining the powerful power beyond what the ring can carry." Dunn Dragon Lance explained, "Everything, based on the ring, is roughly from 1 ring to 1 ring. The nine levels of the 9th ring are like this for spiritual beasts, like this for arcane magic, and actually like this for magical powers."
Duke stared at Dunn Dragon Lance with burning eyes, waiting for his story.
Dunn Dragon Cavalry did not give in, and said straightforwardly: "Supernatural powers are the rings of each level, which are beyond the limit. They can be roughly divided into super-one-ring magical powers, super-second-level magical powers, super-three-ring magical powers, and the highest currently. Super four-ring magical power.”
"I saw that the first ring of the Destruction Dragon Spear is indeed different, very magical and mysterious, but I can feel that this ring exceeds the standard. It maintains a special stability in the exceeded state." Du Ke nodded slowly.
"Yes, my Destruction Dragon Spear is a super-level one artifact." Dunn Dragon Lance sighed, "I have been wanting to upgrade it to a super-level two-level artifact for many years, but unfortunately the second link is in super-level status. , I can never grasp it.”
Each super ring can display different magical powers.
Duke carefully sensed this super ring and asked, "So the magical power of Yalong is also caused by the super ring?"
"It's different. Yalong's super ring has a name among the stars. It's called the super forbidden ring. It's a super ring state that matches the forbidden technique system. In fact, in the early years, the forbidden technique was also called super god. Technique is considered to be a special super-circular state."
Dunn Dragonlance explained in detail: "With the development of wonder linkage, ordinary arcana can also be linked into combined arcana, so the term super magic has been cancelled, and wonder linkage is no longer regarded as a kind of combination. Hyperloop state.”
“Super forbidden ring, super magical power?”
“The super forbidden ring is actually the nine rings of Yalong, each ring is a little bit larger, forming a stable super ring state.”
“I have hunted dragons, but I have not found the ring structure of dragons. Is there a super-ring state?”
"Only when the magical power is released, the Yalong will enter the super forbidden ring. After death, the Yalong's super forbidden ring has ended, so it is naturally difficult to observe. But in fact, only Qunxing has the method. When Yalong is still alive, he will study The Circle of Wurm.”
The ring of a spiritual beast is like the human spiritual sea, not a specific existence.
It is necessary to infer the energy and blood power of the spirit beast in order to deduce the existence of this ring and calculate the level of the ring.
"I see."
“This will all be common sense by the time you reach the stars.”
"Um, Dean Dunn, if I want to know about super rings now, where should I learn about it?" Duke asked. He had not found this knowledge in the data room of Offa Tower. Obviously, this knowledge is not useful for the stars. open below.
Dunn Dragon Lance smiled and said: "I'm just telling you about the existence of super rings. In fact, you don't need to understand them now. Exposure to this knowledge in advance will only affect your ability to practice ordinary rings."
Duke couldn't ask more.
The existence of super rings is a subversion of ordinary rings, so the database of Offa Tower does not open information related to super rings to non-stars.
Even though Duke has become a formal member of the Stars Conference, he is not a real star after all.
"Okay." Duke didn't force it. Dunn Dragonlance was unwilling to say more about the content of the super ring, obviously bound by the power of the contract.
So forcing it has no effect.
Dunn Dragonlance could briefly tell him about the super ring and let him observe the structure of the super ring of the Destruction Dragonlance. It has probably violated the power of the contract and needs a certain amount of backlash. Fortunately, the stars don't care about this backlash. .
However, as if he was afraid that Duke would misunderstand that he was too precious, Dunn Longqiang emphasized again: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but that I can't. If you weren't the number one sage in the world, the stars would be like a treasure to you. I Even Super Ring won’t tell you.”
“Don’t worry, I understand.” Duke smiled.
In fact, in a short period of time, Xiaoyi has already analyzed some information with the help of the super-one-ring structure of the Destruction Dragon Spear.
"The super-one-ring structure belongs to the underlying logic of this world, but it is only a relatively simple underlying logic. Compared with the underlying logic corresponding to Jiuhuan Xiaoyi itself and the Four-ring Sand Eagle, the content involved is very simple and can be deduced. "
"Can it be deduced?" Duke closed his eyes to rest, but he couldn't restrain his curiosity.
"Yes, Master, the super-ring structure can be deduced, and Xiaoyi can try to integrate the super-ring state into the R&D center of the Forbidden Technique... Forbidden Technique and Super Ring, both have similarities, and both involve the basic level. logic."
The ring structure is the basic logic for the operation of spiritual arcana.
But spiritual arcana is just a set of rules for the operation of the power system in the supernatural world, not the world itself, which has its own set of underlying logic.
Jiuhuan Xiaoyi and Sand Eagle Pistol are entities that operate on underlying logic.
Xiaoyi cannot explain the underlying logic, so he can only use it to help the Sand Eagle Pistol continue to upgrade and sublimate. Similarly, Xiaoyi can also use the underlying logic to deduce the super ring structure.
“Beautiful!” Duke was delighted, “In other words, the hidden magical powers of the stars are completely invisible to you, Xiaoyi!”
“Xiaoyi is very confident that he can summarize and calculate the super ring structure.”
"Perfect!"
Duke laughed in his heart and continued to communicate with Xiaoyi: "When I turn around, I will hunt down a few more sub-dragons, beat them half to death, and leave them to you to study... Since transcending the forbidden ring is also called a magical power, it is obviously also Can decipher many secrets of super ring structures!”
“Good master.”
All in all, Duke gained a lot from the battle with Dunn Dragoon.
After sending off Dunn Dragon Lance, he began to carry out dragon hunting operations, but he did not hunt dragons within the territory of the Seven Towers Federation.
It is the tree king who travels through unknown lands, looking for traces of the sub-dragon around the tree king, and then hunting it. Now he has lit up nearly 50,000 stars. Among them, many of them can sense the existence of Yalong with the tree king's vision.
So traveling over there, killing the dragon and then coming back is the safest way to hunt the dragon without revealing your whereabouts at all.
in this way.
Time flies by and it’s the end of Storm Calendar 4429.
In the past two years or so, in addition to the necessary work of stars, prophets, and the Supreme Committee, Duke has been constantly descending on the tree king, looking for Yalong to hunt. And during the ten-day charging period, inspect as much of the surrounding environment of the Tree King as possible.
It is also because he is busy hunting dragons that he has not made many new and groundbreaking achievements in the academic field of spiritual arcana.
The Five Rings Prophet and the Seven Sages are still the first sages in the world.
It’s just that in the four years since he was elected chairman of the Supreme Committee, Duke has not held another optical live broadcast academic conference.
Duke Sage Mage Tower has many academic achievements, but none that are enough to be broadcast nationally or even globally. On the contrary, based on the five-ring level results invented by Duke, many subsequent major academic achievements have emerged one after another.
The Ring of Brand, the Ring of Lingxi, the Ring of Light and Faith, the Ring of Fantasy Beasts, and the Ring of Qi Refining are all changing the world in a down-to-earth manner.
No stopping.
"The impact Chairman Duke has brought to the world is destined to be violent and far-reaching, and the era of subtle spirituality is firmly approaching!" "Seven Towers Daily" published it on November 7, Storm Calendar 4429. I don't know what the wind is about. , in the absence of any action from Duke, yet another front-page headline praising Duke's greatness.
certainly.
This is not the first time that "Seven Towers Daily" has had fits. Over the years, Duke has been on the front page of the headlines as many as fifty times, if not a hundred.
Duke has long been accustomed to this. No matter how low-key he is, he is still the unquestionable top player in the Wilderness Continent.
What’s more, it’s not really silent.
At the Meeting of the Stars, the Academy of Prophets, and the Supreme Committee’s orders, Duke’s figure and signature can be seen everywhere.
He is still the sage in the eyes of arcane mages, the glory in the eyes of knights, and the founder of the sect in the eyes of qi refiners. And in the minds of all people, the prophet who has given the world wonderful entertainment, the spiritual incarnation who has risen from an orphan to the top step by step!
His story does not have many ups and downs, but only brilliance and brilliance.
But it inspires countless people all the time to move forward for their dreams: "Spiritual blessings, Duke Duke's blessing!"
It is unknown whether spirituality can hear the murmurings of thousands of people, but Duke will definitely not be able to hear the murmurings of the people in the Wilderness Continent at this time.
“This is definitely not the same world as the Wilderness Continent!”
At this moment, Duke stood on the edge of a cluster of oasis, looking at the gray horizon outside the oasis, frowning deeply.
The Yalong he was chasing fled out of the oasis in a panic, and was then swallowed up by the gray world.
"Roar..." There were screams again and again.
The dragon, which looks like a lizard, is being torn apart and eaten by countless monsters similar to the fallen demon.
In a matter of moments, all that was left of Yalong was his pale bones.
Those demon-like monsters began to howl on the gray earth. Some of them quickly submerged into the dark earth, while the other part rushed to the edge of the oasis and roared at Duke. It could be seen that they were not in human form.
There are some shadows of spiritual beasts, but it is more like a patchwork of various animal limbs, and then covered with a strange gray-brown skin.
“This breath…is a rich smell of decadent spirituality. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a fallen demon…but it also vaguely reveals the breath of divine evil…”
Duke stood on the edge of the oasis, not daring to go deep into the gray world.
The arcane weapon Tongtian surrounded him to prevent him from being attacked by monsters such as the Sinking Demon.
“It is similar to the characteristics of earth scars, but...the earth scars in the wilderness continent are just pits on the normal earth. But here, the oasis is like a green scar on the black earth...spiritually weak and aging..."
He turned his head and looked at the oasis behind him.
The oasis is still full of vitality, but Duke can clearly sense that the balance of the energy of all things here has been broken. The energy of death and all things occupies the vast majority, while the energy of life and all things has become so thin that it is difficult to find and see.
Totem Qi Practitioners practice here and will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
As for the transformed Qi practitioner, let alone practicing here, I am afraid it is unlikely that he can even maintain his own state.
"This world is a world destroyed by evil spirits..." Duke is extremely convinced of this.
Because after he came here, he quickly understood the secret of the Tree King and saw many memories from the Tree King's time.
More than one divine creature passed by this place. In the last days, the divine creature gnawed at the surrounding earth. Spiritual beasts fled one after another and gathered here. They fought and declined in a small place, and finally maintained a stable small oasis ecology.
“It won’t be long before this place will also be gnawed by the gods, and the spring of spirituality will not be preserved.” Duke sighed lightly.
The next moment, people have returned to the tree king.
"Although I failed to hunt the dragon, I am lucky to have seen this side." Duke easily jumped up to the tree crown and looked at the surrounding land. Apart from gray and black, there were no other colors. There was dead silence.
No matter how high Duke climbed into the sky, the land he saw was always gray and black.
"And this is not the wild continent I live in, nor is it the same world. As of now, I have traveled through about four worlds."
The unknown land where the Whirlwind Forest is located is a world.
The location of the Asiba tribe is another world.
This world now is the third world.
There is another world, which is probably still in the age of ignorance, with continuous rainstorms, and no traces of the existence of intelligent creatures have been found.
The reason why Duke can deduce that there are four different worlds is mainly based on the analysis and judgment of plant genes by the hands of arcane weapons. It is determined that the tree king environment in which he travels can be roughly divided into four related gene genealogies.
Even Duke can judge that the four worlds are in different eras by analyzing the environment of these worlds.
The biggest basis is the ancient shadows that occurred on the Wilderness Continent.
According to the phantoms of the ancient times recorded by arcane mages exploring the spring of spirituality, they can be divided into ten ancient eras in total.
In the earliest ancient times, it was called shell soup.
This is the earliest ancient shadow that only erupted in Whale Song Mirror Lake. The Shell Wise Man came from this era.
The second ancient era is called the Ocean of Insects.
The Ocean of Insects once broke out in Cuihai City, and the tower spirit Pheasant Yu of the Duke Sage Mage Tower has survived from the era of the Ocean of Insects to the present.
The third ancient era is called Cape Coast.
The fourth ancient era is called Shell Beach.
The fifth ancient age is called the Sea of Fish.
The tower spirit of the Keystone Wizard Tower, the big fish Iron Head that Duke once saw, is the ancient spirit found from the Sea of Fish.
The sixth ancient age is called the Fern Forest.
The seventh ancient age is called the Origin of Frogs.
The eighth ancient age is called the Waterfall of Rain.
The ninth ancient age is called the Forest of Fear.
There are many dinosaurs living in this era, and it is also the era where the most ancient spirits survive. Many of the tower spirits and war spirits of wizard towers and battleships are transformed from creatures from the Forest of Terror era.
The tenth ancient era is called Bird Sky.
This is also the ancient era closest to the modern era. There are not many ancient spirits formed, and the ancient spirits are relatively clumsy and do not produce much wisdom.
Comparing these ancient shadows, it can be roughly judged that the cyclone forest where the cyclone **** Harpie is located roughly belongs to the Tori no Sora era, which is closest to the modern era of the wilderness continent, but the climate is colder.
Duke simply named this world the Hanhuang Continent after the name of the Wilderness Continent.
The world that the Asiba tribe lived in was probably in the Forest of Terror era. It was hot and humid, with sufficient oxygen content, and the animals and plants were very tall.
Duke called it the Wilderness Continent.
As for the world where no intelligent creatures have been discovered and heavy rains continue, there is no doubt that it is in the age of Rain Falls.
Duke called it the prehistoric continent.
"The waterfall of rain in the primitive continent, the forest of terror in the primitive continent, the sky of birds in the cold primitive continent, and then to the present era of the primitive continent... So what kind of era is the world I am in now?" Duke closed his eyes, Let the breathing method replace your own perception.
He deduced that this world might be in the Frog Origin Era or the Fern Forest Era.
The biggest evidence is that the king tree at your feet is a fern, the most typical existence in the Fern Forest era. However, the sub-dragon he was chasing just now looked very much like the forest lizard, the most representative creature in the Frog Origin era. Duke had seen many ancient spirits of the forest lizard type.
"No more information can be found. This world seems to be almost swallowed up by the evil gods. Maybe in a few years, this fern tree king will also be eaten by the evil gods, and this oasis will also die. .”
Duke was a little sorry.
He then shook his head and gave this dying world a new name: "Let's call the pitch-black continent the Black Desolate Continent."
Time flies and ten days have passed.
The star marks in Duke's star have been charged, but Duke still does not dare to step outside the boundaries of the oasis. The endless scars on the earth are full of crises.
He was deeply afraid of the sinking demon monster that could not escape.
"Forget it, I haven't ascended to the stars yet. Don't take any risks for the time being. Let's go back first." Duke made a decision in his heart. "If there is a chance, I can travel through the new tree king and come to this dying tree." Black Desolate Continent, please observe slowly before talking!"
Shaked his head.
The thought triggers the mark of the stars, the surrounding scene is distorted, and the person has appeared in the starry sky of the dream.
Running, lighting up the stars, and finally teleporting to the star of the ancestor of the oak tree, touching it, and instantly descending into the tree house.
“Going home.” Duke looked up at the calendar on the wall. It was already November 24th.
Duke didn’t wait to make himself a cup of tea.
Then I heard the buzzing bells coming from outside, one, two, three, a total of seven times. And the message represented by these seven bells has appeared on the Dou Qi holographic screen.
“Stars are born!”
Duke exclaimed in surprise: "On today, a new star was born in the Seven Towers Federation?"
Four years since the death of Andre Evening Primrose, another star has finally been born to fill the void of Andre Evening Primrose.
The intermediate replication ring and the earth replication ring had been activated in the morning, and the cooling time had not passed, so Duke directly called his assistant: "Ibuprofen, contact the stars office immediately and ask Saston to send me the information on the new stars. "
“Are new stars born?” Ibuprofen’s eyes widened, “I’m going to talk about it right now!”
Soon, Ibuprofen returned, and returning to the tree house with her was the director of the Duke Star Councilor's Office, Thaston's earth clone.
“Boss.” Thaston saluted.
“No need to be polite, where are the information?”
"It's Mr. Elivan. He previously served as the chief director of the Erudite Tower in High River City in the gravel field. He is an erudite sage and one of the members of the Supreme Committee." Saston did not bring any information, but he only needed to report Elivin's name. Du Ke naturally knows.
“It turns out to be Eleven!” Duke indeed smiled.
As a learned sage and a member of the Supreme Committee, Elivan has been Duke’s subordinate for four years. How could Duke not understand this?
