Chapter 1360: Yin Yang Dao

Yin Yang Dao, it is simply the yin-yang change that is the foundation of all things.

Dao gives birth to One; One gives birth to Two; this "Two" refers to the two qi of yin and yang.

Yin Yang philosophy itself has three characteristics: unity, opposition, and transformation. In thought, it is an indivisible mysterious node of counting rods and divination. In nature, the genes of living beings and the binary in artificial intelligence fully demonstrate the vitality of yin and yang.

All things in the world have yin and yang, and there is no absolute yin nor absolute yang. Yin and yang give birth to each other; yin contains yang, yang contains yin—this is the natural way.

This chapter contains three skills.

The first skill is Divine Punishment grade, named 【Yin Yang Breath】; it is a stance skill that can transform one's divine power nature into two different forces: yin and yang.

The two forces exist simultaneously and are balanced.

If yin-attribute divine power is consumed, yang-attribute divine power will become relatively greater, increasing one's defense by 10%.

If yang-attribute divine power is consumed, one will manifest as yin-attribute aura, increasing attack by 10%.

Yin and yang power can both be used to release skills.

When yin-attribute power is released, it adds an extra 10% damage.

When yang-attribute power is released, it additionally expands skill range by 10%. This range and other scale-expanding effects are not on the same tier; like the 【Zang Mie Kong Kong】 effect and the 【All Phenomena Control】 effect of the Beast Bone Infinite Ring, they are on the same tier, and their effects are added together.

Meanwhile, the yang-attribute effect multiplies with this effect.

Originally the skill's scale is 9 times; adding 【Zang Mie Kong Kong】 makes it 14 times; adding the base makes it 15 times the size.

When released with yang-attribute divine power, it further increases by 10%, becoming 16.5 times.

Unfortunately, yin-yang power conflicts with magical power and cannot be used to amplify the scale of magical skills.

Otherwise, activating the necklace's 【Cosmic Weather】 effect and then adding another 10% boost would yield a multiplier of over 110,000!

【Yin Yang Breath】 is a core stance skill that can change divine power; after that, there are two even stronger skills that can be used.

The second skill of the 【Yin Yang Dao】 is 【Yin Yang Flow】, a first-level Secret Art, usable on oneself or others.

A character targeted by this skill becomes very unstable; if used on an enemy, the effect is that their defense drops by 50% at times and their attack drops by 50% at other times, each lasting 2–5 seconds, with no fixed value.

If used on an ally, the effect is that their defense increases by 20% at times and their attack increases by 20% at other times, also not fixed.

The total duration is 60 seconds; it can be dispelled, but only a purification skill of first-level Secret Art grade can successfully dispel it.

This supportive skill cannot be amplified by the talent effects attached to a divinity; whether it's 【Yin Yang Breath】 or 【Yin Yang Flow】, it can only exert its normal effect.

The third skill is different; it is an output skill that can receive amplification!

The third skill of 【Yin Yang Dao】 is a fourth-level Secret Art, named 【Dual Poles Killing Tribulation】, targeting a single character with guaranteed hit.

This skill requires only 1 second to charge; its damage is not overly exaggerated, a single-target skill whose power is hardly different from that of the Soul-Chasing Spear.

But it has a terrifying effect: it can be contagious!

Dual Poles Killing Tribulation is a black-and-white intertwined light; after killing an enemy, it arcs to two nearby people; if it continues to cause kills, it keeps arcing, one becomes two, two becomes four, the more kills the stronger, every 0.5 seconds, with no upper limit on the number of arcs; as long as someone is within 100 meters, it can kill enemies infinitely, until it encounters someone who cannot be killed.

Because it can split into two, it is possible that only one beam is launched at first, but a few minutes later it spreads to an extremely terrifying scale, blossoming everywhere, slaughtering everywhere!

Although the frequency of once every 0.5 seconds is not fast, the upper limit of this skill is still very high; it can be used as a large-area AoE.

Even in some aspects, it is more fun than large-scale skills!

After all, as long as it keeps spreading, theoretically it could infect dozens of kilometers, tens of kilometers, or even farther!

As long as there are enough people and the battlefield is large enough, anything is possible!

As for range skills, the range is fixed; even for Xiao Feng, when using non-magical skills, the scale is only about a dozen kilometers.

This is a Secret Art with a low floor and an extremely high ceiling; its difficulty to comprehend is also somewhat high.

Xiao Feng has just begun to understand the Yin Yang Dao and has not yet mastered these three great skills so quickly.

If the opportunity arises in the future, one could try in the Myriad Races Contention's super war to see if it could spread to fill the world with black-and-white killing tribulation light!

That scene… would probably be very interesting!

The wind is blowing, a sea breeze comes over, bringing a salty taste.

After several hours, Xiao Feng has been contemplating the Yin Yang Dao, and his cultivation has increased somewhat.

Da Bai flies very fast; it has already flown out of the Nine Provinces Continent and entered the airspace above the Southwest Sea.

The sea here is not the sea of the Blue Star.

The Blue Star's ocean averages only over 3000 meters in depth, which to people in the game world is nothing at all.

But the Nine Provinces World is incredibly vast; the distance between the two places is often calculated in millions of kilometers.

The sun's diameter is only over 1.39 million kilometers; one can imagine how huge this world is.

The Southwest Sea is not the largest sea of the Nine Provinces, but even throwing a sun into it would still fit.

This sea is bottomless; what creatures live in its deepest parts, even a True Immortal does not know.

Many powerful beings are near the sea surface, including aquatic monsters, overseas cultivators, and some players who come here to slay demons and collect materials.

Da Bai, while flying, introduces Xiao Feng to the things it knows well.

"Big brother, look over there at that big island—that is Great Turtle Island; on it lives a rather foolish old turtle; we used to often go there to steal and eat immortal fruits, and even if he caught us he wouldn't punish us, just make us keep him company in his foolishness, and a bout of foolishness could last over ten years."

"That big fish is a Dragon Whale; it's hard to see its size clearly, but its underwater body is actually ninety thousand zhang long, several hundred kilometers long; even a True Immortal can't do anything about it! However, its temperament is gentle; it spends most of its time sleeping, occasionally coming out to feed, a sight extremely shocking; if the chance arises, one must definitely take another look!"

"Those fighting in the sea are mostly small sea monsters; most of them are at the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages, fighting and killing each other all day, like raising gu; only a tiny few can grow strong."

"Big brother, look again at that big tree over there—it is called Sea-floating Timber; it needs no soil, absorbs seawater to survive; it looks large but is actually very light; a trunk of a hundred zhang in height weighs only several ten thousand catties, and it is also quite tough, usable for shipbuilding or constructing floating islands; its seeds can be blown by the wind to tens of thousands of li away, and in the Four Great Seas their silhouettes can be seen everywhere."

"And there's also…"

Da Bai knows everything inside out.

One can see it loves this place deeply; this was once its homeland.

But now it is no longer the Golden Crown Thunder Eagle it once was; it is an Immortal Crane with a nobler bloodline, having found a new home.

Xiao Feng suddenly asked, "Da Bai, do you want to stay here?"

"Huh? Big brother, why are you asking that?" Da Bai was a little puzzled.

"Nothing much, just asking casually." Xiao Feng replied.

Listening to Da Bai introduce the scenic spots of his hometown, he suddenly felt like a human trafficker, feeling a bit guilty.

However, Da Bai's words dispelled his doubts.

It chuckled and said: "Just coming back occasionally to look around is fine; no need to stay. Being a demon has limited prospects; only by following the big brother can one achieve great success. I'm no longer the old demon I once was; now I just want to follow the big brother to wander the heavens, taste all the world's delicacies, and... uh, wrong, see all the fairy maidens!"

Xiao Feng couldn't help but smile, laughing and scolding: "Really hopeless! I thought you wanted to become a ninth-rank divine bird."

"Besides, being a ninth-rank divine bird is also fine; it'd be best to marry the Qinglian Xianzi home!" Da Bai let out a wicked hehe laugh.

"Say it again, you don't have that function."

"Damn it, you hit my sore spot again!"

……

The two chatted casually, trading jokes, and without realizing it they flew across the sea and sky, seeing in the distance a huge island.

That was Da Bai's hometown, Jinpeng Dao.
