Chapter 271

I really got stronger!

Mu Yi looked at the giant turtle before him, already on its last breath, and the aura on its body had declined to the extreme.

He had not been injured, nor was he flustered, and even his trump cards had not yet been fully revealed.

Just the combination of Soldier Lord and Life and Death Register left this legendary creature helpless.

The power of Soldier Lord was more useful than he imagined; each of his attacks dealt real damage to the giant turtle before him, and its huge size destined it to be unable to dodge his attacks.

Meanwhile, none of the giant turtle's attacks could hit him.

The instinct that came with Soldier Lord let Mu Yi dodge the giant turtle's attacks perfectly each time.

Although the giant turtle seemed to have some immunity to instant death, the Life and Death Register's death mark could not directly slay it, but after the deathly aura gradually eroded the giant turtle, its body was covered with death lines.

Soldier Lord's power ensured Mu Yi could accurately strike the death lines each time, dealing true damage that ignored defenses and rapidly wore down the giant turtle's vitality.

The giant turtle twisted by the evil god possessed extremely strong life recovery, but under this kind of attack that directly consumes life's origin and reduces life's maximum, it could only decline bit by bit.

By now it was completely on its last breath.

The true name also fully appeared on the Life and Death Register; Mu Yi tried to threaten the giant turtle with death to make it surrender, but although the giant turtle instinctively sought survival, it remained chaotic and disordered.

It seems because of the evil god, these creatures cannot be controlled, so Mu Yi could only send them on their way.

Death!

With a thought, Mu Yi caused the name representing the giant turtle's true spirit on the Life and Death Register to shatter; a pitch-black death aura like ink rolled off the turtle and then consumed it.

The giant turtle instantly lost all vitality, collapsing with a boom on the sea surface; Mu Yi controlled the water to keep it from sinking, wanting to use the giant turtle for some research.

This was also a new idea he formed after seeing the North Sea Dragon King; irreversibility was merely their earlier speculation, and perhaps nothing in the multiverse is truly irreversible.

Zongwang Prompt: You have slain a legendary creature; your legend level in this world increases, fleet soldiers will sing of your bravery, legend level 3!

Zongwang Prompt: You have slain the campaign reward target, the legendary giant turtle; you gained 1000 points of Great Ming Military Merit! You obtained a legendary campaign treasure chest!

Zongwang Prompt: You have slain a legendary divine being; extract target divine power! Extraction successful! You gained 1 point of divinity!

Zongwang Important Prompt: You have triggered the special achievement task Legend Glory!

Special Achievement - Legend Glory:

Description: Legend is a firm power existence in the multiverse, a true new starting point that draws a line between the mundane and itself.

The power they possess has a place in any world of the multiverse.

Some mortals choose to submit to this power; they revere Legend, treating it as an insurmountable wall, becoming ants beneath Legend.

And you, the unyielding one who goes against the flow, you disregarded Legend's insurmountable taboo wall and resolutely raised your slaughter blade against those lofty legendary beings.

You did not raise the great sword out of helpless retaliation, nor did you lift the great blade in angry hatred…

You simply regarded them as enemies, as prey, as stepping stones on the path to Legend.

Become Legend?

No, what you have chosen is to surpass Legend…

Achievement Requirements:

Before becoming Legend, personally slay a legendary creature (1/10)

Achievement Rewards:

Title: Legend Glory

Attributes:

1. Surpass Legend:

Legendary creatures are merely your prey; your power has already surpassed them, and any legendary creature that fights you will fully bear your skills and attacks, with all your traits perfectly manifested in them.

(Units with the same special title are immune to this effect.)

2. Legendary Calamity:

After a standard action, each of your attacks will deal an additional 1% of the target's maximum HP as damage to legendary creatures, which can be resisted.

Once this ability takes effect on a legendary creature, the target will temporarily be unable to receive any healing.

After you or your enemy dies, this skill ends.

When your enemy dies, you will gain the full healing effect from the damage you dealt via this special attack, and all negative effects on you will be dispelled.

PS: Today is my day of death… or perhaps, it is yours—Legend Glory·War Lord·Spartaback.

Mu Yi's retina constantly refreshed with new prompt messages, while before him that twisted, terrifying legendary giant turtle had completely perished, lying still before him.

No stirring war song, no cheers of all things, nor fervent praise and splendid fireworks…

Everything seemed as if nothing had happened.

It seems no one knows that a transcendent being crossed the Legend barrier and defeated a legendary creature.

In the public's view, Mu Yi is a yin god from the Underworld, his power unfathomable; defeating a legendary creature is merely a commonplace occurrence.

Aside from the many deities watching from behind, hardly anyone knows that Mu Yi defeated Legend with a transcendent body, and it was a one-sided slaughter.

Perhaps everything here will be swallowed by the smoke of memories.

All beings who witnessed this moment simultaneously had the same thought arise in their hearts.

Perhaps due to civilizational background, this idea varies slightly in expression, but the will they wish to convey is indeed the same:

They and them, perhaps in witnessing a new, powerful existence completing his legend at the mortal stage…

He will become Legend, surpass Legend, and become an unignorable new star in the Jiuzhou ecosystem.

The last one capable of causing such a commotion should still be the former Great Sage Equal to Heaven, now the Namo Great Sage Relic Honored King Buddha.

Mu Yi calmly landed on the deck, greeted by many reverent gazes; those soldiers marveled at the power of this yin god Mu Yi, able to so easily slay such a colossal being.

Although they could also achieve this with collective strength, individual might always easily inspires reverence.

Transcendent beings like the Wudang Mountain True Person do not hold much awe for Mu Yi's strength, but they truly hold immense reverence for the Life and Death Register in his hand.

Even with the disposition of a Wudang Mountain True Person, they could not help but sneak a few glances.

Continue setting sail!

After a brief rest, Zheng He continued to order the sails raised and set sail.

There was still some distance to the farthest point of the West Sea; Mu Yi apologized and then chose to return to the cabin.

He came here not entirely to avoid the fawning Supernormal Beings that surrounded him, but to attend to some matters.

First is the reward for slaying the giant turtle; besides military merit and title, what can be used now is naturally the Legendary battle treasure chest.

Mu Yi opened it with a hint of curiosity.

What came into Mu Yi's view was a shield of strange shape.

Indescribable Turtle Shell Shield:

Item Quality: Legend

Item Level: 20

Item Type: Weapon Equipment/One-handed Shield

Special Effects:

1, Water Avoidance:

After a standard action, you activate the equipment's special power, granting the wearer the ability to survive underwater by automatically repelling nearby seawater and providing a breathing space.

2, Water Control:

By holding the shield, you can gain a special power; during its duration, your defense is greatly strengthened and you gain great immunity to water-element damage, automatically gaining high-level water resistance.

3, Distortion

Each day you can, by holding the shield, assimilate with the indescribable power; your will begins to distort, you will receive a flood of chaotic, disordered knowledge, and your body will begin to change as your will transforms.

After use ends, you will make a will check and a constitution check; if you fail, you will transform into an indescribable creature.

After transforming into an indescribable creature, you will lose some abilities that rely on your original bloodline power, and at the same time you will gain new distortion abilities.

PS: After transforming into an indescribable creature, your alignment will greatly shift toward chaos.

Each time you use this item to transform a chaotic being, you will receive the great gaze and gift of the indescribable.

PS: When the stars return to their places, chaos will rise from the earth, and the great primordial will awaken.

Undoubtedly, this is a legendary item possessing great power.

Although it has some drawbacks, it is a quite excellent high-quality item; for such an item, rather than risk using it, Mu Yi has a better choice.

But before that, Mu Yi wanted to make an attempt.

The Indescribable Turtle Shell Shield looks like an ordinary shield, but it is engraved with various strange sculptures: tentacles, scales, carapace; outwardly it merely looks somewhat bizarre.

But in Mu Yi's gradually recovering Thousand-mile Eye, he saw the shield's core essence.

Emanating legendary radiance of chaos and disorder, a giant turtle spirit no different from the outside world howls to the heavens within its essence.

Mu Yi narrowed his eyes, and immediately had a plan in mind.

If one is fully distorted, can even death not escape the distortion?

If the soul is an egg, then the North Sea Dragon King's dragon soul is like an egg fried together with bacon; as long as the bacon representing the evil god part is carefully peeled off.

Although the dragon soul is injured, it can still return to normal.

This is achieved by the celestial god's position under the protection of the Jiuzhou consciousness.

But the giant turtle is different; its soul is like an egg mixed with pepper powder into a paste; whether you steam or fry it, you cannot separate the egg from the pepper.

At this point, there is no hope left, and the distortion process is equivalent to stirring and cooking.

Mu Yi understands the difficulty, but he still wants to try.

The giant turtle's corpse lay still within the Hell Path barrier; its mutated parts and extended tentacles also lost vitality and drooped on its body.

Mu Yi sat cross-legged on the giant turtle's shell, placed the shield in his hand upon the turtle, reached out to summon the Six Paths barrier, and slowly and solemnly pressed the sixfold barrier onto the giant turtle.

The true meaning of reincarnation slowly emerged beneath the turning of the Six Paths barrier.

The turtle shell shield immediately showed signs of agitation; such legendary equipment possesses a portion of the original owner's spirituality; although not as complete as a divine artifact, it still has a part.

And now this portion of spirituality trembles incessantly under the enveloping of reincarnation; that is a power from a higher dimension.

Under the enveloping of reincarnation power, the giant turtle's corpse and the turtle shell shield begin to resonate; the turtle's spirituality, drawn by reincarnation, gathers into the corpse.

Even though the giant turtle has lost its vitality and yet possesses spirituality, it cannot be reborn; its flesh and spirituality shine together, then begin to merge bit by bit.

Now!

Mu Yi's eyes widened suddenly; his will drove a brilliant sword intent to slash down at the merging part.

Done!

When he saw that only two light clusters, one large and one small, remained before him, Mu Yi's face showed an excited expression.

His supposition succeeded; as the Lord of Reincarnation, he indeed possesses an unparalleled control over souls.

The egg mixed with pepper powder is indeed hard to distinguish, but if you trace back to before they were mixed, it becomes easy to separate them.

Reincarnation inherently carries the meaning of time; time reversal is merely a part of it.

Turtle Shell Shield:

Item Quality: Legend

Item Level: 20

Item Type: Weapon Equipment/One-handed Shield

Special Effect 1: Water Avoidance

Special Effect 2: Water Control

Special Effect 3: Giant Turtle: After a standard action, you activate the equipment's special power to summon a level 18 giant turtle with legendary abilities, lasting 5 minutes; exceeding the time will greatly drain the holder's strength.

Success!

Mu Yi looked at the shield in his hand, which had returned to normal appearance except for some turtle-shell patterns; he narrowed his eyes and directed his gaze toward another cluster of light.

Before Mu Yi could even reach out, heaven and earth seemed to freeze, and countless gazes poured down from beyond the world.

Malice! Curiosity! Generosity!

Among the countless gazes, strands of power seeped out from the void, then converged onto the light cluster Mu Yi had shed.

Mu Yi felt his scalp tingle; even though he could sense that these beings meant no malice, the power they transmitted was filled with madness and distortion. Having witnessed the fate of beings like the giant tortoise and the West Sea Dragon King, he dared not touch it.

He didn't want to have anything to do with it, not even a bit.

His limbs would turn into that horrifying, grotesque, indescribable form; Mu Yi wanted nothing to do with it.

But Mu Yi could not refuse; it was as if in a space where time stood still, only those indescribable horrors generously bestowed their power.

Perhaps because Mu Yi had previously refused them, they poured their power entirely into the light cluster.

When time resumed, the evil gods departed under the Plane's consciousness; Mu Yi furrowed his brow, as if compared to before, the reality they could interfere with had become more apparent.

Was it because the chaos had expanded?

Waves of indescribable madness, the chaotic power disrupted Mu Yi's thoughts.

A huge distorted light cluster appeared before Mu Yi.
