Chapter 2154: Climb to the Peak Battle 42

Drip, Starlight notification.

The Troll civilization offers you 500 points of off-site betting, with the corresponding 10% points already converted to the exchange shop.

Inside the Judgment space, Lin An blinked slightly, then quickly looked at the suddenly lit exchange interface.

Having remained highly focused until now, Lin An finally relaxed.

Although the wait wasn't long, facing the possibility of an accident at any moment, he even prepared to wait a few more minutes, and if that failed, to summon the Abyssal Bones by 'suicide'!

Looks like Mo Ling's side is going smoothly.

Five hundred points? I didn't expect that Gusman fellow to still hold such a high status within his clan.

Lin An silently noted Gusman's favor; although Gusman had promised to repay him, Lin An knew full well that in the Apocalypse, expecting repayment was out of the question—just not being repaid with hostility was already good.

Gusman keeping his promise and even giving him extra help was enough for Lin An to keep in mind.

No longer thinking further, Lin An directly opened the exchange interface and without hesitation exchanged for the Seal Stone.

Looking at the misty, unimpressive stone in his hand, Lin An felt as if he held a supreme treasure, and his fighting spirit surged.

With this in hand, almost nothing could stop him from obtaining the artifact!

'At most around twelve times; based on my current recovery speed, I can finish it within one to two hours!'

His gaze seemed to pierce space, sensing the nightmare heart outside still trying to find his trail; Lin An couldn't help but snort coldly, and the Cain's Blade in his hand instantly shrouded itself in a layer of blood mist.

They've blocked him for so long; now it's his turn!

Although the Body System corpse never made a move, as long as it wasn't the Rule System, Lin An had nothing to worry about. At worst they'd be tough to kill; in a head‑on clash, he feared nothing more than a straight fight!

'First consume the light points; if lucky, I could even drain the Zero‑Degree Rule first.'

'No need to use the Electromagnetic Rule; with such a huge level gap, it's better to preserve the Rule Reserve for recovery.'

After mentally replaying the battle countless times, Lin An hesitated no more and his whole body shot out of the Judgment space.

Utterly different from his previous aura, this time Lin An seemed to have completely abandoned defense, and at the instant he burst out of the space he fiercely slashed his sword!

Leave defense to the Seal Stone!

Although before taking down these three corpses there was little chance of breaking the shield,

but even if he only got one chance to strike, Lin An would never waste it!

'Whoosh! Hum!'

The fierce sword burst sounded together with the rule buzzing before and after.

It seemed the nightmare heart controlling the two corpses didn't expect Lin An to suddenly charge out; their reaction was a bit slow, and after Lin An's sword strike, the blue‑white Zero‑Degree Rule finally hit him.

'Boom!!'

Three beams of light lit up simultaneously, instantly illuminating the darkness.

In the vast underground cavity, the annihilating sword qi Lin An slashed out tore open the darkness like a hellish rift, fiercely striking the shield.

At the same time, the blue light within five meters suddenly covered Lin An's body, freezing him in place at extreme speed.

Only this time, after being frozen he could only reverse‑escape.

This time, as Lin An swung his sword, the Seal Stone he simultaneously activated also triggered its special effect.

Only see a layer of gray light appear around Lin An, after which he instantly regained movement, completely resisting the absolute‑zero rule's control!

(Better than expected!)

As if he had rehearsed the battle countless times, Lin An felt certain and simply charged toward the other light point!

Although the cost of breaking free was consuming all his rule power and spiritual energy, with his heaven‑defying recovery ability he didn't care at all!

No need for light points to chase him! As long as each time he consumes a few, once those rules are exhausted the ensuing battle will be his home turf!

'Bang!'

The light point impact struck like a bone‑scorching flame, instantly setting Lin An ablaze as a fire‑person.

Whether it was only instinctual intelligence, the nightmare heart wrapped in the shield showed no reaction at this moment, still wildly waving its tentacles, trying to keep attacking Lin An. At this very moment it had no awareness that its 'life' was already counting down.

Without waiting for the heart to drive the two corpses to continue attacking, the next second Lin An, having reached his limit, activated Judgment again, pulling the dream rat along as they both vanished from the spot.

'Boom!!'

After the third fall into the space, Lin An propped up his near‑paralyzed body, feeling as if he felt no pain, and slashed his sword at his burning body.

The process went smoothly; after lifting the banishment state, Lin An didn't waste time, directly activating the Transmuting Heart to quickly restore his strength in preparation for the next round of consumption.

'Not bad, the Seal Stone's effect matches the description. If these light points' damage weren't continuous and burning my own power, theoretically I could drain them all at once.'

Staggering to his feet, Lin An looked like a bloody‑meat skeleton, his face bearing a satisfied smile—though if a third party were present they'd likely be frightened by his grin.

A bit regrettable.

The nightmare heart didn't stop when he entered the banished state; if the light points' rule weren't so disgusting, he wouldn't have to go through all this trouble.

But it doesn't matter; it's just wasting a few potions, dying over a dozen times—this level of injury and pain is just everyday fare for Lin An.

While recovering, Lin An also opened his chat with Mo Ling.

Now his troubles are settled; going forward he needs take no more risks, as long as Mo Ling waits for him to bring out the artifact!

However, just as Lin An opened the chat, a Starlight alert suddenly sounded.

'Drip, your civilization's competition team has suffered massive deaths; current ranking dropped!'
