Chapter 1431: with translation of chapter title

no named entities besides numbers.

Desolate God Step buff

Vajra Bracelet

To ensure his attack damage was sufficient, Xiao Feng threw out the Vajra Bracelet, trying to break the opponent's defensive attribute.

The Vajra Bracelet's "Breaks All" effect works at most on level 1600 characters, and it's tuned precisely.

Ink Shadow's body is illusory, but the Vajra Bracelet can break it whether real or fake, so it still hit, producing a "ding" sound, and then bounced back.

Swish!

At the same time, Ink Shadow sent a sword qi killing strike, strong in momentum, which knocked off a portion of Xiao Feng's health.

Yin Yang Killing Tribulation!

To deal with this kind of boss, only ultimate skills can be used, not normal attacks.

Fourth Rank Secret Art

Pfft!

-1.372 quintillion (critical hit)

The Vajra Bracelet's armor-breaking effect, the Beast Bone Infinite Ring, Source Attribute, and Fourth Rank Secret Art.

"If I had known, I would have started with the Vajra Bracelet directly."

Xiao Feng smiled, and while the Vajra Bracelet's armor-breaking effect was still active, he added two Secret Arts, thus killing the Ink Shadow with 80 billion health.

no.

Once Ink Shadow died, the path ahead became clear, with no air wall blocking it, and he easily climbed the steps.

Xiao Feng walked to the sixth-floor tower, still thinking to himself: "Ji Xingge said I should be able to reach the sixth floor, but his tone implied he thought I would have to give it my all, barely making it. Yet I actually got up here without taking any high-level buff potions or using a clone..."

Obviously, Ji Xingge still underestimated him somewhat.

A level 1600 Golden Immortal can be killed without going all out, which is hard to accept from a normal person's perspective.

no.

He did not immediately go to look at those bookshelves and Secret Arts, but instead turned his gaze toward the steps of the seventh floor.

Level 6 Secret Arts are indeed powerful, but... isn't there something even stronger?

Seventh floor

His "Moonlight Fades" is still on cooldown, requiring at least 59 minutes before it can be used again.

Desolate God Step

The Vajra Bracelet, however, is fast—just ten minutes—but it has no effect on bosses above level 1600.

"Let's check the monster's info first; if we can't beat it, we'll just forget it."

This tower is for Yunchu Shan disciples to pick skills; it's lethal-free, so even if he loses, he'll just be reduced to 1 HP and kicked down the stairs, without dying or losing XP, so he can try freely.

Ink Shadow

no.

Skill Transmission Tower Seventh Layer Guard

Level 2000 (Great Luo Realm)

HP: 10/10

Note: Defeat it, and only then do you qualify to enter the seventh floor.

That enormous amount of health left Xiao Feng speechless.

Layer 6 is 7 quintillion, while layer 7 jumps to 10 septillion.

Ink Shadow, sword intent, Venerable-level power.

Without a word, Xiao Feng stepped back and returned to the sixth floor.

The moment he stepped back, Ink Shadow instantly dissipated, and the sword intent vanished as if it had never existed.

Cultivators with outstanding qualifications above rank 1800.

Xiao Feng more or less figured out the rules of the Skill Transmission Tower.

As a superpower extremely close to the essence of the Dao, level 7 Secret Art is hard to obtain, far surpassing level 6, which is understandable.

To unleash such power, the cost would surely be great; without immortal strength, one might not even be able to release it!

no.

no.

This is the first time he has ever been this close to a high-level Secret Art!

Rank 8 Slaughter Formation

7 pages

Perhaps he may never be able to gather them all.

The level 7 Secret Art in the seventh-floor Skill Transmission Tower might be the strongest Secret Art he could ever obtain!

At least for the past few years, that's definitely the case!

Wanting to ascend to the seventh floor is incredibly difficult!

no.

Dao-Slaying Sword

Poor Strange

He never expected to encounter, in such a short time, a second place where he needed to use the Slay Dao Sword.

Ten nonillion health points... a lot, but not impossible!

When fighting Poor Strange, he relied on buff medicine to greatly increase his own attributes, only then managing to deal less than 2 septillion of damage.

At this time, lacking such a strong buff potion, it seems impossible to do.

But the problem is, Ink Shadow isn't as tough as a real boss!

From the sixth-layer Ink Shadow, one can see that its 1600-level strength, its defense attribute is still not as high as that of a 1480-level Purple Fire True Person!

This seventh-layer Ink Shadow is probably far less sturdy than the Exhausted Oddity!

Xiao Feng's heart was restless and eager.

To be safe, he decided to still use his clone to act.

The clone has an extra talent: when its HP is above 50%, it has a hundredfold burst damage effect, which combined with the Ten Thousand Times amplification results in a millionfold damage.

With this talent stacked, plus the inherent power of the Beheading Dao Sword, I believe it should be enough to kill Ink Shadow!

The only problem is…… the chanting time is not enough.

Ink Shadow needs only 1 second from Appeared to the first skill hit.

But he needs at least 2 seconds to release the Sword Dao Secret Art!

Even if the main body can block a strike, it's still somewhat stretched thin.

But no matter what, let's try first and see!

Anyway, there's nothing to lose!

Xiao Feng opened the clone management system and equipped the Beheading Dao Sword.

At this time, not in combat state, the clone cannot appear yet.

He stepped onto the stairs, and at the far end Ink Shadow automatically appeared, and he was also pulled into combat state.

Xiao Feng moved his mind, and the clone immediately appeared on one side.

"Immortal Origin Body Protection!"

"Ultimate Flame Heaven!"

The main body directly activated the active effects of the clothing and necklace, rushed forward quickly, and bought time for the clone Xiao Fashen.

Xiao Feng's damage reduction increased by 95%, his survivability greatly increased, but against a Venerable-level boss, he's still as fragile as paper.

Ink Shadow descended with peerless sword intent, speed very fast.

"Ultimate Flame Heaven" domain effect tries to prevent it from releasing Sword Dao skills, forcing it to use only fire.

But the Ink Shadow boss's realm is too high, directly overriding the rule to crush the "Heart of Ultimate Flame Heaven" necklace, completely unaffected by its effect.

One second hasn't passed yet.

Swish!

Xiao Feng's main body was hit by sword qi, instantly reduced to 1 HP, blown back, and fell into the Sixth Layer Hall.

Xiao Fashen was still charging when Ink Shadow swept another slash.

Pfft!

Xiao Fashen also died.

Cannot summon within one hour; can only wait for refresh.

"Indeed, it's not that simple."

Xiao Feng sighed.

Just now, his main body and clone were killed, lasting only about 1.2 seconds in total.

Ink Shadow's speed, compared to a normal Venerable, is actually already quite slow, but it's still much faster than him; only by using "Moonlight Fades Away" can he unleash a big move before being hit, stacking a life buff.

But if he wants to use "Moonlight Fades Away", he cannot use the Beheading Dao Sword.

These two are indispensable, resulting in an awkward situation: either no time, or no output!
