Chapter 365

One of the world's blessings

Blessing of Evasion · Distant attacks from opponents cannot hit.

One of Reinhart's many blessings, which is why Reinhart can avoid mass attacks from the demon army.

With the blessing activated, all attacks are redirected by the world.

Under the world's power, even shockwaves and flying debris from explosions cannot strike Lin Cheng—he need only stand still to avoid all attacks.

There are also various other blessings.

In short, all distant attacks are now ineffective against Lin Cheng, including close-range magical attacks.

If it were a one-star or two-star Reinhart, or close-range magical attacks, they might still have some effect; a one-star or two-star Reinhart can only nullify or absorb 80% or 90% of energy.

But as the star rating increases, once Reinhart is raised to three stars, the power he can nullify and absorb reaches one hundred percent—that is, perfect defense.

Lin Cheng, who chose to share Reinhart's abilities, perfectly inherited this power.

Conversely, the world's other blessing—'Blessing of Arrows'—ensures Lin Cheng's ranged attacks hit with one hundred percent accuracy.

No matter how fast the target moves, they cannot evade Lin Cheng's attacks.

Combined with Reinhart's world blessings, the only way to truly defeat Reinhart is through close combat—only physical martial arts or sword techniques stand a chance.

Note!

Here, "Reinhart" refers to Reinhart, not Lin Cheng.

After activating skill sharing, Lin Cheng draws power from various S-rank dolls, infinitely amplifying his strength.

In other words, once Lin Cheng raises Reinhart to three stars, his power undergoes a qualitative transformation—he now possesses the strength to confront Black Dragon Acnologia and Zeref!

Truly standing at the pinnacle of the world!

…

The absurd scene continues to unfold,

At this moment, as Lin Cheng presses forward step by step, the demon army slowly retreats.

The battlefield's tide instantly reverses: from the Mingfuzhi Sect holding the advantage, they are now being pushed back in retreat.

"Shhh—ssss!"

Seeing the demons gradually retreating, Lin Cheng, sword sheath in hand, strikes without hesitation.

A flash of silver light—his furious slash cleaves through the earth, carving a terrifying fissure that rips toward the demon army.

Under the 'Blessing of Arrows,' no matter how fast the demons run, they cannot escape Lin Cheng's attack range.

Boom—boom—boom!

The terrifying fissure spreads rapidly, like the gaping maw of a abyss, swallowing everything that falls into it.

In an instant, the demon army suffers another devastating blow: hundreds of demons perish instantly; the remaining force dwindles to fewer than a thousand.

"If this continues, we'll be driven to the brink."

Boom!

While forcibly blocking a magical energy beam, the other Jiugui Sect demons fighting Hayibirein and Macarov show signs of fatigue.

Though curse power is superior in rank to magical energy, sometimes rank alone does not determine everything.

Hayibirein suffered heavy injuries during the original otherworld war, but a Heavenly King remains a Heavenly King—unless the Nether King intervenes now, the Mingfuzhi Sect cannot possibly defeat him.

Yet the Nether King's current order is for them to delay the enemy; as long as they're not completely dead, they must hold on!

Though they don't understand why the Nether King arranged it this way, under these circumstances, there is no room for retreat!

Moreover, after death, they can resurrect through the Hell Core—thinking of this, Kuang Hua's eyes flicker with madness!

"At all costs, eliminate that man first!"

From the current situation, there is no doubt that Lin Cheng's presence has altered the battle's outcome; if he is eliminated, Macarov and the others will be utterly insignificant.

"Move, Jackal!"

Boom!

No sooner had the words been spoken than Jackal—recently resurrected from the Hell Core, his strength still not fully restored—immediately chose to self-detonate.

Immediately afterward, a terrifying black smoke spread outward.

Demon Barrier Particles,

The essence of demons, and the source of their curse power; once released, they disrupt magical energy in the air, corrupting the magic within anyone who inhales them.

In this era, magical energy determines one's strength—and magical energy equals life itself.

Once magical energy is completely depleted, life ends instantly.

Conversely, demons within the Demon Barrier Particles suffer no ill effects.

Hearing Kuang Hua's command, Jackal immediately detonated; the blast wave instantly spread the particles across the entire city, blocking the pursuit of Heavenly King Hayibirein.

"What is this? Poison gas!"

Though unaware of the black fog's nature, Macarov and Hayibirein reacted instantly after a brief pause.

At their level of power, they immediately sensed their bodies reacting upon inhaling the black mist.

Not only was their magical energy being eroded, but their physical strength had also weakened considerably.

At the same time, they realized the Jiugui Sect demons intended to trap them with this smoke.

And their target? Lin Cheng!

Realizing this, Hayibirein disregarded the risk of inhaling the smoke and charged forward.

From realization to action, Hayibirein took less than three seconds.

Though fast, it was still too slow for the current situation!

Seizing the moment, seeing the other Fapingyi Society members trapped by the Demon Barrier Particles, the remaining Jiugui Sect demons turned and attacked Lin Cheng en masse, their curse power building within them.

"Hmm? Only resorting to such low tactics?"

Looking at the demons surging toward him one after another, Lin Cheng immediately understood their plan.

They were preparing to self-destruct together, then use the close-range explosions to cover the area around Lin Cheng with Miasma Particles, forcing him to inhale them.

'Heart Transmission's Blessing'

One of the world's Blessings, it allows one to roughly grasp the thoughts of the opponent they face, and even to communicate telepathically over long distances to share information.

Combined with the Reaper's Soul Sense, with just a single glance, Lin Cheng could already accurately guess the intentions and movements of Kuanghua and the other demons.

In response, Lin Cheng was not nervous either.

Under the 'Poison Resistance Blessing', 'Hundred Medicines Blessing', 'Dark Nether Blessing', and 'Phoenix Blessing', Lin Cheng did not even fear death itself.

However, fearing or not fearing was one matter; Lin Cheng had no intention of sitting around waiting for them to self-destruct.

Gripping the sheathed Long Jian, Lin Cheng had already assumed his opening stance, his gaze fixed on Kuanghua and the others.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Kuanghua and the others' curses had all already descended!

"Damnable bastard!"

"Give it to me!"
