Chapter 1684: Repulsive Force Effect

"Hei Di, what did you discover?"

"Why is your complexion so terrible?"

Outside the fortress.

Suppressing the various guesses in his heart, the Chimera Emperor, eyes vigilant, looked at the grim-faced Hei Di.

After imagining Lin An's terror, he had now put aside other thoughts, only wondering what he should do after the restriction ended.

Just run away; even the Star-Destroying Level outsiders wouldn't accept him, worrying he was Lin An's secret agent.

Not run? He felt it was too dangerous; he was greedy, but his life mattered more.

Therefore, in this situation, he, like Hei Di, was extremely concerned about Lin An's every move.

"Nothing..."

"Consider it... a good thing..."

Stabilizing his emotions, Hei Di, who kept imagining things, replied hesitantly, appearing as if he didn't want to say more.

"Nothing? A good thing?"

Hearing Hei Di's vague answer, the Chimera Emperor's huge dragon eyes filled with even greater doubt.

Just as he was about to speak again, Hei Di suddenly lifted his head, his expression gradually calming.

"He was massacring prisoners."

"That one is probably a Shen Yuan creature."

"Be careful; this kind of existence, after killing to the point of frenzy, will ignore friend or foe."

With meaning implied, after Hei Di finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to the stunned Chimera Emperor, instead returning to his own group's ranks.

Nothing happened; Lin An wasn't making any preparations as he had guessed.

The good thing is, judging from his understanding of Shen Yuan creatures, it's something he thought of.

Lin An is now slaughtering these Fifth Stage beings one by one; it's clearly him venting anger, or rather, he's extremely irritable.

From this detail, Hei Di could think that Lin An probably hadn't found a way to lift the restriction, or rather, the effect wasn't good.

Otherwise, how could his mood be so bad?

Not only that...

"That curse-like aura... and the rule just now..."

"It's definitely a Shen Yuan creature!"

"That rule is strange; it feels like Fourth Stage strength, yet like Fifth Stage sensation... exploding flesh from within... not belonging to any energy system, nor the usual spatial power."

"Is it the peculiar rule unique to Shen Yuan creatures?"

Clues combined.

Upon careful thought, Hei Di realized that although he couldn't stay there to see more, just what he had discovered earlier was enough to corroborate some of his previous judgments.

Lin An's Rule was restricted! The Rule Power that burst out when he attacked just now perfectly confirmed his guess!

Fluctuating strong and weak, like Fourth Stage yet like Fifth Stage!

The effect is bizarre; even he can't judge it!

As for Lin An's display of such brutality, yet obviously still needing them, willing to let them follow—how is this not further proof of his guess?

"Looks like, I only 'borrowing' that few points is correct."

"Still can't restore power? 300 points... no, 238 points—this should be the critical point for that one to restore power!"

He snorted coldly; Hei Di's heart inexplicably gained a bit more confidence and assurance.

Now, he has seen one of Lin An's Rules, knows what Lin An truly needs and what has been restricted. Once he clarifies more details, the likely victor of this mission will be him!

"The effect isn't as good as imagined, but it's indeed useful."

Inside the exchange point, Lin An thoughtfully gazed at the Fifth Stage 'skeleton' he had injected with the Raw Liquid.

His flesh and blood were blown apart all over; he could only inject it into the eye sockets of that Fifth Stage being.

Having grown accustomed to the terror of the Raw Liquid, Lin An now merely patiently waited for the transformation, then initiated the sacrifice.

Fortunately, the Repulsive Force didn't kill the target.

But not killing him also left Lin An a bit disappointed.

Unlike Hei Di's mistaken belief that he was insane, earlier he had massacred this Fifth Stage being right in front of him.

Striking repeatedly so many times without killing was meant to torment the person.

In fact, he, Lin An, had just exerted all his Rule Power to unleash the Repulsive Force.

"The repulsion effect of the Repulsive Force is indeed highly damaging to Fifth Stage beings, provided the target doesn't use Rule Power for defense and the distance isn't too great."

Lin An let out a quiet sigh, watching the Repulsive Force field constantly spinning in his hand.

The instantaneous repulsion effect is extraordinarily powerful; unlike regular attacks that need to break surface defenses before causing damage, the Repulsive Force erupting from within essentially equals ignoring defenses!

Internal explosion can even turn the opponent's flesh and blood into weapons, piercing straight through the entire body!

Such an attack method is truly brutally extreme.

And after Lin An carefully calculated, he found the damage value roughly equals his Rule Power multiplied by his Spirit Power, minus the target's Physique attribute.

The weaker the Awakened One's Physique, the more fragments they burst into under the Repulsive Force, and the larger the damage radius.

The stronger the Physique, the more stable the internal structure, and the poorer the effect.

"This Rule effect suits me well, except it's too restrained by Rules."

Looking at the Fifth Stage beneath his feet whose skull had already grown a human face, Lin An's eyes flickered with a hint of regret.

When he applied the Repulsive Force effect to that Fifth Stage's head, he clearly felt residual Rule Power lingering in the opponent's brain region. Obviously, this is the long-term self-protection effect of all Fifth Stage beings.

Fifth Stage beings have incredibly tenacious vitality; basically they protect the head from death, and even if the body is blown to pieces, it's no problem.

His Repulsive Force effect, upon colliding with the lingering Rule, immediately scattered and could not shatter the opponent's head at all.

Think about it, a Fifth Stage that has been crippled and can no longer use rules, he can't even kill it; in subsequent battles, it's also unlikely he could kill with repulsive force.

It can only be used as a supplementary method; repulsive force... at this stage, enhancing myself works better. Later, when my rules become stronger, maybe it will have remarkable effects?

Suppressing the regret in his heart, Lin An didn't think much more.

The repulsive force rule was originally added out of thin air, so it's normal that he's not good at using it.

Now he only cares about one thing: whether this batch of Fifth Stages ahead can give him a transformative rule?

Almost as Lin An was pondering what rule could make his combat power surge...

The Cain's Blade in his hand suddenly flashed red light.

Here it comes!

Realizing the transformation was complete, he could trigger the sacrifice.

Lin An hesitated not, instantly thrusting his sword through the pitiful Fifth Stage's head!

If he wasn't mistaken, this Fifth Stage should be of the elemental type!

「Bang！」

As the sword shattered the skull, a cold system prompt sounded instantly.

「Ding, sacrifice succeeded! 」

"Current absorbable rules: Soul Fire, Microwave!"
