Chapter 1432: with translation of chapter title

"How can I strive for an extra second of time......"

Xiao Feng sat on the floor of the sixth-floor hall, frowning in thought.

A second may seem short, but it's actually not that easy to achieve.

He has some treasures on him, such as scrolls that grant temporary immunity to damage.

But for a Venerable, such scrolls are meaningless; they have no effect and shatter at a poke.

"I don't know if a level 1350 God King can hold out a bit longer."

Xiao Feng saw that there was still a rank-6 quality 【Summon God King Scroll】 in his backpack, which could summon a level 1350 God King to assist in battle for five minutes.

Although the God King cannot withstand a Venerable's skill, he can only take one hit.

But even taking just one hit can buy a bit of time.

Mo Ying's attack speed isn't as fast as a true Venerable's, but perhaps it's just enough.

"I can also summon the Flame Lord to help block a strike, giving us time for two blows. Then I can activate other defensive measures; there should still be hope."

The Flame Lord is engraved on the Divine Seal and can be released via its own energy, unaffected by worldly rules.

There is only one rank-6 scroll; once used, it's gone.

To successfully unleash his strongest strike, he must pile up all usable 'blade-blocking tools'!

Otherwise, if he fails again, next time without the God King's help to absorb attacks, he'll have even less chance.

After checking the items in his backpack and storage artifact, Xiao Feng quickly formulated a plan.

Time is still early; the clone needs an hour to reform, can't be rushed.

Having nothing to do, he first looked at the collection in the sixth-floor hall.

The sixth-floor hall now has only eight shelves, each corresponding to one of the eight trigrams, with roughly 10–20 secret arts per shelf, totaling just over a hundred rank-6 secret arts.

Oh, can't say 'just over a hundred'—it's actually still a lot!

Rank-6 secret arts are high-end skills Xiao Feng has never seen anyone use; even the 'Tree-Shooting Champion' seen in the Primordial Ancient World was only rank-5.

Releasing such rank-6 secret arts is usually extremely demanding, consuming an outrageous amount of mana and possibly causing self-harm, making them unusable often.

He walked to the Gen trigram shelf and looked at one of the secret arts there.

【Devil Emperor Fist】: Rank-6 Secret Art, deals a devastating strike to an area, damage coefficient 220000%, plus 100 mega fixed physical damage, charge time 3 seconds, consumes 5 million Divine Origin Power, requires at least 30 seconds of breath adjustment before reuse.

Although the skill description doesn't specify how large 'an area' is, a damage coefficient of 2200 times plus 100 mega of piercing damage that ignores defense is already enough to slay gods and Buddhas!

If he had this skill in the Primordial Ancient World, Xiao Feng could wipe out a squad of hyper-dimensional mechanized troops with a single punch!

Let's look at other secret arts!

Whether to learn them or not aside, let's first feast our eyes!

【Palm Seal of World Suppression】: Rank-6 Secret Art, seals all living beings in an area (regardless of friend or foe), then after 5 seconds deals 200000% damage to all living beings in that area; the palm seal remains in place for 10 minutes, during which any living being entering the range suffers each second a residual damage of 0.1% of the initial damage. Charge time 3 seconds, consumes 7.2 million Divine Origin Power, requires at least 120 seconds of breath adjustment before reuse, and cannot be used twice consecutively on the same area.

This skill is also overpowered: first seal, then instant kill; after the kill it leaves a huge hazardous zone. Although the damage drops to 0.1%, it ticks every second, equivalent to dealing 200% attack power damage each second, lasting up to 10 minutes!

"This shelf is all physical skills......"

Gen represents Mountain; the secret arts on the Gen trigram shelf are all purely physical, with high output and not-too-long charge times; any physical-class player coming here would drool.

Xiao Feng walked to another shelf and glanced at other types of secret arts.

Next to the Gen trigram is the Kun trigram; Kun represents Earth, and its skills are mostly defensive.

【Eternal Guard】: Rank-6 Secret Art, grants the user the state of 'Eternal Guard', unable to use attack skills (only normal attacks); each time attacked, the damage taken is reduced damage taken equals the user's defense × 100000%, lasting 60 seconds, consumes 8 million Divine Origin Power, cooldown 300 seconds.

【Infinite Shield】: Rank-6 Secret Art, grants all friendly units within 100,000 meters of the caster 10 layers of shield status; each layer has 10 mega fixed HP and provides an extra 5% damage reduction; when a layer is broken it disappears, otherwise it can persist for up to 120 seconds. Casting chant takes 5 seconds, consumes 10 million Divine Origin Power, cooldown 600 seconds.

Seeing these skills, Xiao Feng felt a pang of longing.

If Eternal Guard were given to him, with a Ten Thousand Times boost, it would grant him a damage negation of one million times his defense.

His current defense is 500 million, which means he can nullify any single-instance attack below 5 quadrillion (500 mega); if the damage doesn't reach that number, it's a miss! Even if it exceeds 500 mega, much will be absorbed, greatly boosting his survivability.

If he further stacks defense, the effect would be even more terrifying!

Infinite Shield is even more overpowered: within 100 kilometers, all allied forces gain 100 mega shield value and 50% damage reduction; if used in a large-scale hegemony battle, just how extravagant would that be?

Such a vast range could cover an entire city district; the effect is more extravagant than war skills, and lasting up to 120 seconds, it's simply despair-inducing!

If it weren't for today only allowing a single choice opportunity, Xiao Feng would definitely learn it!

Unfortunately, it's rank-6, and he's unwilling to give up his rank-7 skills, so he can only regret missing it.

Every skill on the sixth floor of the Transmission Tower makes Xiao Feng itch; he really wants to learn them.

Physical attacks, magical attacks, defensive, supportive, movement types......

Every skill on each shelf is worth a city, priceless.

But unfortunately, they just can't be learned!

No way, being greedy!

If the sixth floor is this formidable, what about the seventh?

The gap between them isn't simply a single rank difference; just as rank-4 secret arts are far rarer than rank-3, the value and effect of rank-7 secret arts are much stronger than those of rank-6.

Since there's an opportunity to go upstairs, we must definitely give it our all!

Soon, an hour passed; the clone had revived and was on standby in the clone repository.

Xiao Feng placed the Slaughter Calamity Sword Sheath and the Beheading Dao Sword into the clone's equipment slot, ready for use at any time.

Then he tore open a scroll.

"Come forth, God King worker!"

Humm~

A teleportation gate opened, and out walked a female demon with goat horns on her head and an exposed figure.

【Charming Demon King】

Level: 1350 (God King)

Life points: 9800 trillion/9800 trillion

Divine Origin Power: 2.4 billion/2.4 billion

Skills: Charm, Soul-devouring, Sinking Prison……

Existence time: Remaining 299 seconds

This attribute is not bad; it belongs to a support-type God King, with strong control ability, average output, and fits the current situation perfectly.

"Come out, Flame Lord!"

Xiao Feng summoned another meat shield, No. 2.

To summon this guy, he also specially equipped the 【Heart of Cosmic Weather】 necklace, allowing free control of scale multiples; otherwise, a 160‑meter‑tall Flame Lord couldn't come out.

Xiao Feng controlled the Flame Lord at a height of 30 meters, just right to avoid hitting the ceiling while also creating a fairly obvious blocking effect.

Afterward, he also took out some defensive buff potions and scrolls, bringing the two meat shields as he stepped onto the stairs of the seventh layer.
