Chapter 1225: Prayer Power Not Enough

It changed from the original Adult Phase to the Prosperous Phase, and I estimate that at level 100 I can still push a bit further.

First of all, there's a new skill!

It's a level‑80 new skill; it didn't appear when I previously reached level 80, but only shows up after completing the promotion.

Prayer. Divine Beast Blessing

Consumes Prayer Power to raise a shield, absolutely invincible, duration 1–20 seconds, depending on the amount of Prayer Power consumed.

Range: 10–200 meters (depending on Prayer Power consumed).

Prayer Power: 1,000–20,000.

Cooldown: none.

An Invincible Skill, huh—looking at this skill, Su Sheng felt a bit skeptical.

And there's no cooldown.

But it does require Prayer Power; although there's no cooldown, Prayer Power isn't that easy to obtain either.

Then Su Sheng shifted his gaze to the spot of the Malicious Resentment Power; Prayer Power first appeared together with the Fireworks Dragon Breath skill.

When it first appeared, the cap was 1,000 points, accumulating 1 point of Prayer Power every 5 minutes.

After level 60, the cap expanded to 10,000 points, accumulating 1 point per minute.

Now, after the level‑80 promotion, the cap became 20,000, but the accumulation rate remains 1 point per minute.

However…

The Fireworks Dragon Breath skill also changed.

Originally it consumed 100 Prayer Power per second, dealt true damage equal to 200% of the lion beast's attack, area 10×10; after using a Crossing River Dragon Carp once, the area became 13×13.

Now…

True Fireworks Dragon Breath

Consumption per second: 100–1,000 Prayer Power, dealing true damage of 200%–2,000% over an area of 13×13 to 130×130.

Prayer Power: 6,067//20,000

(Recovers 1 point each minute)

Tsk…

Seeing this, Su Sheng couldn't help but click his tongue; the original Fireworks Dragon Breath was called Secondary Fireworks Dragon Breath, now it's become True Fireworks Dragon Breath.

Sure enough, it's Dragon Breath— the old Dragon Breath was decent, but it always felt a bit unworthy of the name.

Now then…

Tsk...

Pretty good, except that Prayer Power only recovers 1 point per minute, so you'll have to grind until the year of the monkey and month of the horse.

Looks like I can't waste it recklessly; at 1 point per minute, 20,000 points means 20,000 minutes—over 300 hours, more than 13 days, almost half a month, to fill the 20,000‑point Prayer Power.

So that Invincible Skill is indeed powerful and has no cooldown.

But even activating it for a single second costs 1,000 Prayer Power, roughly equivalent to a 1,000‑minute cooldown.

Of course, if you fill the Prayer Power, the lack of cooldown gives a lot of flexibility.

Su Sheng's mind instantly perked up.

Secondly, the Fireworks Blessing also changed.

The name became 'Prayer. Fireworks Blessing'.

The base remains a 30% health shield, but you can consume Prayer Power to increase the shield value further.

Every 1,000 Prayer Power consumed adds an extra 10% to the shield.

Just glancing at it, Su Sheng lost interest.

Prayer Power is needed for Fireworks Dragon Breath and the new skill; using it for this Blessing's shield feels wasteful. I'd rather fire a one‑second invincibility.

Su Sheng felt the 20,000‑point Prayer Power cap was far too low.

Then he continued browsing the lion beast's other changes.

Besides the new skill, there are changes after the promotion to the Prosperous Phase.

During the Prosperous Phase promotion, attack increased by 5,000 outright—a massive boost, considering the lion beast's base attack was only a little over 8,000, so it's roughly a half‑increase; the lion beast's attack now soars to 13,440!

That figure probably exceeds the damage output of some Fourth Rebirth players with slightly inferior gear.

Defense rose by 7,000, reaching 17,450—not huge—but aside from a few top‑tier players, probably no one else has that much defense.

Health jumped by 100,000, pushing the lion beast's total HP to 259,000!

That's absurdly over‑the‑top—that's the vibe of a divine beast.

With nearly 260,000 HP, the base Fireworks Blessing's 30% health shield equals 259,000 × 0.3 = 77,700, providing over 70,000 shield—higher than the total life of many non‑heavy‑armor classes.

In other words… my shield value outlives your life.

Secondly, in mount‑riding state there's a 60% health bonus.

259,000 × 0.6 = 155,400, which basically matches Su Sheng's own health.

Defying the heavens!!

At this moment Su Sheng just felt invincible.

After tallying everything, Su Sheng finally remembered that he hadn't really checked the private chats during the boss fight.

Su Sheng opened the private chats to look through them.

Several private chats: Huan Jie, Chen Guan, plus a few Ten Court Yanluo from the guild and Shen Wang…

While checking the chats, Su Sheng rode the lion beast through the Dragon Abyss Gorge…

After defeating the boss, seeing a Teleport Array appear nearby told Su Sheng the Dragon Abyss trial had ended.

But that experience value was just too tempting, so Su Sheng was reluctant to leave, strolling around to try, seeing if he could get another bone dragon or something.

First, he opened Huan Jie's private chat.

After checking, Su Sheng couldn't help but stare.

What the hell?!

After reading through Huan Jie's private chat from start to finish, Su Sheng roughly understood the whole story.

On Ying Jiang's side, over 4000 allied forces were fumbling as they tried to approach the northern main city of Huaxia on the National Battle Map.

Huaxia's side had also gathered forces, standing ready, but just when everyone thought the allied forces would attack Huaxia's side, which had also gathered forces and stood ready, but just when everyone thought the allied forces would lay siege to the main city, something shocking happened.

The Ying Jiang allied forces stationed at the northern main city actually didn't attack Huaxia's main city; they took a detour and ran over to the Mao Xiong main city.

Meanwhile, on Mao Xiong's side, although they had defenses, most people were still doing dungeons in Huaxia's imperial city.

Caught off guard, that main city on the National Battle Map was directly taken by the allied forces.

At that point, Mao Xiong's side panicked.

While gathering their own players to resist, they also reached out to Huaxia for help.

Initially, Huaxia's side had already discussed with Mao Xiong's side: if they couldn't hold out, Mao Xiong's side would provide some support.

Now the allied forces ran to attack Mao Xiong, and Mao Xiong asked for aid. After Shen Wang and the others discussed it, they decided to draw lots to send half the personnel to help Mao Xiong.

They would keep the other half on their side, just in case some third party pulled some trick.

But even more shocking...

happened...

Su Sheng looked at the content Huan Jie sent over, couldn't help but rub his eyes, and double-checked...
