Episode 19 – Metamorphosis Chapter 36 – Drop of Blood, Crown

Roop was in the area of earth laws. He had also fused five arcane mysteries.

Of the six major arcana of the Laws of the Earth, the only one he hadn’t fused in was ‘Gravity Space’. The other five major arcana were all fused, especially when the ‘Power of Life’, ‘Geomancy’, ‘Earth Pulsation’, ‘Power’ ‘Element of Earth’ fused. He then created the strongest Earth Walking Technique, while his Soul Force was unceasingly forming a cycle in his mind, and not a single trace of that breath escaped.

The ability to sneak and escape reached a limit.

However, there were gains and losses. His attacking slash. It was only a fusion of four arcane mysteries. And the ‘Earth Walking Art’ aspect. It simply couldn’t fit into this slash.

“Whew!” Luo Pu was like a slippery fish in the ‘black stone space’. Moving swiftly and continuously.

Linley, on the other hand, was flickering with ease. Easily blocking his opponent.

“It’s not certain who will die.” Roop roared lowly in his heart. The battle sword in his hand silently cut through space and ran directly towards Linley’s head, just at the moment Linley’s ‘Staying Shadow’ divine sword attacked towards his battle sword. “Boom!” This warblade’s energy surged steeply.

“Peng!”

A blade, a sword!

Linley shocked his body into a slight retreat, “Haha, good!” Linley laughed and killed again. Nay in terms of weapons. This Lop was a shade worse than Linley’s Earthly Retaining Shadow Excalibur.

“By weapon.” Luo Pu also sensed that Linley’s weapon was extraordinary in his heart, indignantly Luo Pu’s gaze turned cold, and very suddenly his left hand’s index and middle fingers rose together. And then violently flung. Only to see a strand of translucent sword fingers shoot towards Linley, extremely fast, directly into Linley’s mind.

It was precisely a soul attack!

“Haha …… Ropp. Your little soul attack. Still don’t take it out.” Linley hadn’t cared at all, earth law powerhouses weren’t really good at souls in the first place. Roop himself was even more average in this area, how strong could the power be? Linley had crushed it simply by relying on the power of his soul.

Roop had no choice but to do that.

“Is that so?” Roop sneered. The attack became more and more frantic, while Linley was happy to meet it.

“Clang!”

“Clank!”

The two figures of Linley and Roop kept exchanging blows. However, the two sides were clearly indistinguishable. In Linley’s opinion. This Roop was considered to be at the bottom of the list in terms of strength amongst the commanders, “Doesn’t even have a single master divine artifact, and indeed can only rely on sneak attacks, but he’s got a sneaky way of doing it here. It’s worth learning.”

Linley guessed that there was definitely an ‘earthwalking technique’ in Roop’s fusion of arcane arts.

There was also that slash, the power of which was restrained. Waiting for the last moment to explode.

“This slash, will be the Life Force Arcane Arcane Arcane. Performed to perfection.” Linley had come to fight with Roop with the intention of practicing his sword. This Roop, on the other hand, was fighting with the intention of seizing the opportunity to kill Linley and gaining a slight chance to escape.

“Pfft!”

Linley stabbed out with his sword.

This Roop flipped his sword. Surprisingly, he let Linley’s sword pass. Pressing against Linley’s sword blade slashed towards Linley’s body.

“En? He’s really putting up a fight.” At Linley’s critical moment, he only heard a “Swoosh!” A sound. Only a greenish-golden phantom, Linley’s dragon tail was carrying a terrifying force that fiercely smacked against that sword, in terms of toughness. Linley’s earthly dragon tail was in no way weaker than this upper divine artifact.

The warblade was jerked askew. “Puff!” The original intention was to cut Linley’s head, but at this point, it was chopped on Linley’s chest. After the dragon’s tail had been pumped. The blade with reduced power just barely tore through the dragon’s scales. Slightly penetrating a bit of blood.

“Wow!”

Linley’s shadow-retaining divine sword cut through Luo Pu’s head, separating his body and head.

Once this head was separated from the body. That was close to announcing a death sentence! After all, even if the soul was still there, it couldn’t control the body to resist or attack. It was also the same as being caught with one’s hands tied.

“You are ruthless enough. But the result is that you die.” Linley looked at the head that had been thrown to the ground and said.

“If I had a main divine artifact, the result would have been different.” Roop’s head roared, and he too knew that he was bound to die.

“Shoo!” Linley’s ground-retaining divine sword sword flashed. Roop’s voice came to a halt, and a red line appeared on his forehead.

At this time, Roop’s earthly divine artifact, spatial ring, and a golden microchamp also fell down.

“Having a main divine artifact results in a different outcome?” Bebe flew over and snorted, “Who wouldn’t say that? If my boss has three main divine artifacts, Soul Defense, Matter Defense, and Attack, besides the Great Circle. Who else is there to fear?”

Linley shook his head and sighed darkly.

This world was inherently a place of the weak and the strong. The strong were honored. Whoever had a master divine artifact also relied on strength!

It was only because of strength that one would be valued as a Lord God’s Messenger and receive a Lord God’s Artifact. Because one gets enough military merit to exchange for a Main God Artifact, everything relies on one’s own efforts. And the Lord God’s children. The ground did take advantage of it, but sometimes luck was also part of strength.

“This Roop’s sneak attack is good. But the real fighting ability. At the bottom of the list of commanders. The Lord God chose the messenger. It’s normal not to pick him.” Linley shook his head and sighed. “So. Law esoteric. The same fusion of five is different from each other.”

The Laws of the Earth had six arcana, fusing five. There were then six fusion situations. Different situations. They also determined different routes of development.

“This commander’s badge was easy to come by.” Linley’s heart was bursting with joy as he received this golden badge, “Now I already have three golden micro badge lands. Only one more to go.”

“Bebe. Let’s go.”

Linley and Bebe quickly left the battle place.

A place like the dimensional battlefield. Those who entered must be prepared to die, the strongest died so that the stronger could live.

Dimensional battlefield. Inside the belly of a large, ordinary mountain, Linley and Bebe had fought their way into a cave. They temporarily resided in it, the cave inside the mountain’s belly was hundreds of meters thick from the outside, the thickness of the rocks alone, and the commanders were generally unable to extend their divine sense alone to come in.

Of course there are three exceptions.

One was the use of the power of the Lord God. Then divine sense probed.

The second was a Great Perfection Superior God, and the range of divine sense was also extremely wide.

The third was the Mutated Upper Gods. Soul mutation powerhouses, their most special feature was their ‘soul’. Their souls were much more powerful than a normal Upper God, but of course there was a difference in the degree of soul mutation. Having two types of divine power and a mutated soul. The probability of survival was not bad. The vast majority of soul mutants have two divine powers, Olivia is also at this level, while those who have three divine powers and still have a mutated soul will almost always die, the entire hell. There is only one person with three divine powers who has successfully mutated. As for their souls. Even more powerful!

As for those who possessed four kinds of divine power and still mutated. In countless realms, no one has succeeded in this for countless years. No one knows what the result of having four divine powers and a mutated soul is. What the result is.

Inside the cave.

Linley was holding the tattered crown, staring at the tattered crown and carefully observing it, the crown didn’t have a hint of luster, and if he were to throw him in the garbage, even if the gods walked by the side, they wouldn’t pay attention to it.

The ground beside Bebe also stared carefully. After a long time, he smacked his lips and said: ”Boss. What’s so special about this broken crown, I can’t see it at all, it gives me the feeling that it’s just like an ordinary item in the Material Plane. It’s just like an ordinary item in the Material Plane.”

“Not the same.”

Linley shook his head, “But I can’t see where it’s special either.”

It was also the fact that Linley had once received a strange energy from the crown before. Healing Linley’s injuries, plus this thing, and coming from spatial turbulence. Linley naturally didn’t think he was ordinary.

“I know it’s not ordinary. To be able to come from spatial turbulence, it’s either a Godhead weapon or a master God artifact.” Bebe took a closer look at the crown. “But forming the crown ground looks like this. The way I see it, it’s also a Soul Defense Main Divine Artifact.” Bebe deduced so.

“If it really is a Soul Defense Master God artifact, so broken, it’s also a broken Master God artifact.” Linley laughed.

If the master of a master divine artifact was alive. Then it was impossible for a master divine artifact to be broken! Broken. It meant that this soul defense master artifact had been breached and its owner was dead!

“There’s only one way now.” Linley nodded slightly. Said.

“Boss. Try it quickly.” Bebe urged.

The only way to do this was – to drop blood and recognize the owner!

Linley extended his index finger. With a movement of his mind. Instantly, a drop of blood seeped out from the surface of his finger’s skin and finally dripped down. It landed on that crown.

“Eh?” Bebe glared.

“En?” Linley frowned.

The drop of blood unexpectedly rolled on the edge of the crown. And then it unexpectedly rolled down. It fell to the ground.

“Not absorbed?” Linley was puzzled.

“What’s going on, this thing has a master?” Bebe frowned.

Linley pondered for a moment. Nodding, he said, “There’s a possibility that the owner of this crown land was, perhaps, fighting in the dimensional battlefield. In the end, he died, and that master artifact fell into the spatial turbulence. But this crown master. There is still an alter ego out there. Therefore, it is not possible to recognize the owner by dropping blood.”

“Makes sense! Ah, that’s not right! Boss.” Bebe suddenly said. “This crown is damaged ground, spatial turbulence hasn’t been able to damage a master artifact, right, and neither has an upper god been able to damage a master artifact.”

Linley was also stunned. He couldn’t help but nod slightly.

Elder Gods fought amongst themselves. After dying, the main divine artifact was usually unharmed. The strength of an upper divine. It hadn’t been possible to destroy a master god artifact.

“Could it be that the owner of this crown is a Lord God?” Linley guessed so, “This crown, was damaged in a Lord God battle, just like my disk dragon ring?”

“If it’s a Lord God, then. This Lord God must have fallen.” Bebe said, “But if the Lord God fell. Then the other Lord God who killed this Lord God. He will definitely not let his branch go. Will definitely eliminate all the roots, then this crown should also be a masterless object. It should be able to recognize its owner with a drop of blood.”

Linley was also puzzled.

With the Dragon Ring, he could recognize his own blood, but not this crown.

But by now. Everything was just a guess on his own.

“Forget it.” Linley shook his head. “Bebe. Don’t think about it if you can’t figure it out. In any case, it’s impossible to drop blood and recognize the owner. Perhaps …… this crown isn’t a master artifact at all.”

“To be able to exist down in the middle of spatial turbulence. What is it if not a Main Divine Artifact?” Bebe muttered.

Both Linley and Bebe were unable to comprehend that in the knowledge they knew. It wasn’t a main divine artifact, a divine lattice weapon, that could still exist in spatial turbulence. Perhaps it was only divine lattices! As for other substances such as ore materials that existed normally. Were unable to be preserved in spatial turbulence.

This crown research could not be understood, so Linley could only choose to give up for the time being. He received it in his spatial ring. Afterwards, Linley immersed himself in cultivation as planned. There was only the last three hundred years left of the dimensional war. Linley also wanted to make a breakthrough before then.

“The Naropod Earth Blade ……”

Converged to the extreme. Bursting out but that stunningly stunning blade.

“Blackmers’ fist ……”

That unrivaled fist that kept surfacing in Linley’s mind.

“That gold-robed strong man’s wolfsbane ……”

Linley also carefully analyzed the attack of that wolfsbane.

All these years. Encountered a large number of Earth Law powerhouses on the ground. Either like that Red Rock Lord, or like that Boreal Ray ……

Every Earth Law powerhouse would have developed their own strongest moves, and those were others’. Not their own! But what Linley was looking for. It was to discover some mysteries from these masterstrokes, in the hopes that it would help him break through his current bottleneck in one fell swoop. And so, Linley immersed himself in his research without stopping.

Bebe was bored within the cave, half-squinting his eyes and occasionally taking a bite of fruit. He was currently controlling a Death Puppet outside, “It’s been three years. I’ve only come across one person, and this person, he’s not easy to mess with. The weaker ones are all as timid as rats. Uh, I’m also a rat.”

Bebe suddenly glanced at Linley.

“Eh?” Bebe’s brows furrowed slightly.

Only to see that the earth elements around Linley’s body unexpectedly pooled together, gradually. An earth-colored orb formed with Linley at the center.

“What’s wrong with the boss?” Bebe wondered.

“Whew!”

Strangely, this earth-colored orb suddenly contracted. Shrinking and collapsing from a diameter of three meters to a single point, this sharp contraction unexpectedly caused space to vibrate, rippling up spatial ripples, rippling open spatial ripples caused the stone wall next to the cave to instantly turn to powder, and the entire cave became a large circle.

At this moment, Linley opened his eyes, and there was a hint of a smile on his face.

“Boss? You? Broke through?” Bebe guessed.

Linley looked towards Bebe and nodded slightly.
