Chapter 1690

Researching a skill and blowing himself up—this sort of thing probably hardly anyone in the whole server could encounter; he's basically opened his eyes.

When used alone, the Dao Mark Scar is very strong and very stable, but wanting to use it to enhance other skills, as a 'lever' like before, the difficulty becomes very great.

This is a very unstable factor that could explode at any moment, friend or foe indiscriminately, so he still needs to practice more until he can control it.

Otherwise, when fighting in a crowd, casting the skill could blow himself up before it even leaves him, wiping out his teammates—likely to become a notorious scene, a laughingstock for all players in the server.

Little Sword - Little Sword

Dao Mark Scar - Dao Mark Scar

Divine power condensed, and a Little Sword formed again, its volume still smaller than that of a Source Needle.

The divine power it contains is already incredibly exaggerated—100 million points of divine source power compressed to the limit, almost condensed into a crystal, its concentration comparable to that of a source-attribute divinity.

divine origin power - divine origin power

The process is very similar to engraving the innate patterns on a divinity, but the difficulty is much greater, the resistance is strong, as if even the system itself is stopping him from doing this.

The Dao Mark Scar consists of just a single stroke, and it's not complicated.

Xiao Feng carved with his willpower, taking nearly ten seconds, and finally completed the two scars.

myriad source qi - myriad source qi

As soon as the scars were finished, the Little Sword began to shake violently, looking as if it might fall apart at any moment.

Slay Dao Sword - Slay Dao Sword

Myriad Heavens space - Myriad Heavens space

Venerable - Venerable

Dao Ancestor - Dao Ancestor

Machine Clan - Machine Clan

Supreme Wisdom - Supreme Wisdom

The terrifying shockwave swallowed everything around it; everything within a few hundred meters was destroyed, even the air was broken down into primordial source qi and vanished between heaven and earth.

Xiao Feng was blown to ashes again, leaving no corpse, and he faintly felt that even the underlying spatial structure of the Myriad Heavens Battlefield trembled a bit.

The power of this strike was actually enough to threaten the Myriad Heavens space that even the Slaying Dao Sword could not shake!

You should know that the space of the Myriad Heavens Battlefield is extremely stable; even in battles of Venerables, it is hard to produce cracks.

However, this time Xiao Feng almost managed to do it!

"One more time, I don't believe it's suicide every time!"

Xiao Feng revived again on the spot.

A wind rose around him, the thick primordial qi of all things drifted out, turning into spiritual power that nourished the surrounding myriad things.

This power can wreak destruction or carry out construction; it is almost omnipotent, the most fundamental particle in the great cosmos and also the strongest energy, older than stars, more overpowering than black holes, and even Dao Ancestors are few who can master it.

After the skill was dispersed, the energy surge gave the surrounding space a brief increase in energy density.

After feeling it, Xiao Feng couldn't help but think: "This is returning my energy to the universe. But after I revived, my divine power is full again—where does this divine power come from?"

The game system is still mysterious; each revival to full health, mana, and status also consumes energy, and we don't know where it comes from.

Actually, if you think about it, if the game world were to be rationalized, many places would require astonishing power and law to support it.

Not to mention anything else, just the data generated daily by over six million battlefield players' actions is an astronomically huge computational load, so it's no wonder that the strongest Primordial Ancestor of the Machine Race, the "Supreme Wisdom," is needed as the central processor—ordinary machinery can't handle the computation, and even Dao Ancestors of other races who aren't skilled in this kind of calculation cannot fulfill the role.

This virtual universe still has many, many secrets; his growth path so far has only just begun.

"Try once more; if I still die, I'll come back tomorrow..."

Xiao Feng thought to himself.

Dying three times a day is his limit; if he dies again, his cultivation will be deducted, which he is somewhat reluctant about.

"Condense!"

He gave a low shout, again drawing out about 100 million points of divine origin power energy, condensing it into a three-inch-long purplish-gray translucent Little Sword.

This Little Sword, when thrown alone, is also a skill whose destructive power is not inferior to a fifth-rank Secret Art.

However, it is pure energy bombardment; its technique application, law application, etc., are too crude, the only highlight being an extremely high compression ratio, but on that basis alone the system would not recognize it as a high-rank Secret Art.

Xiao Feng once again engraved Dao Mark Scar on both sides of the Little Sword.

This time the speed was slightly faster, taking about nine seconds.

After finishing engraving the Dao Mark Scar, he didn't have time to admire this Little Sword that resembled an artwork, and quickly shot it out to prevent it from exploding near him.

Buzz—

The Little Sword's structure, with the Dao Mark Scar's reinforcement, became unstable once again.

Fortunately, this time it reacted quickly and was thrown in time.

Boom—

The Little Sword flashed by, and when it had flown over a thousand meters, its structure collapsed, causing another explosion.

His skill research failed again.

A mountain peak a kilometer away directly lost a section from its middle; the summit above and the base below remained, but the middle part vanished without a trace.

Under gravity's effect, the unsupported summit fell and shattered into scattered soil, rubble, and trees.

Xiao Feng sighed: "It's still a bit difficult; relying solely on wild ideas really doesn't work."

Using the Dao Mark Scar this way obviously has problems; he felt his research direction might need further refinement.

Xiao Feng drew in the surrounding energy to restore his divine origin power.

He roared and flew toward the high sky, making another attempt.

"Let's try engraving just one Dao Mark Scar first." After thinking, he decided not to be so greedy.

The Little Sword formed again, this time with only one symbol engraved.

The stability of a single mark improved considerably, and it only exploded after being launched five kilometers.

Unfortunately, it's still unstable.

Xiao Feng, while restoring his divine power, slowly attempted.

One failure, two failures, three failures……

As the number of failures grew, his insights also grew.

"The Dao Mark Scar itself is an unstable factor; no matter how it is carved, it will detonate the energy it encounters…"

"Perhaps I should try, first condense the rune, then condense the carrier…"

He changed his approach; this time he first condensed the Dao Mark Scar.

The Dao Mark Scar itself requires very little energy—only about 100,000 divine elemental power—so even if he split into three thousand clones, he could still complete the release.

With the Dao Mark Scar in hand, he again drew out 100,000,000 divine elemental power and condensed it once more into the Little Sword.

Then he slowly brought the two together, fusing them with the power of the same source.

The next second……

Boom!

He died again.

This explosion was even more terrifying; the Dao Mark Scar seemed to treat the Little Sword as an enemy, directly releasing the full force of law energy.

With one blast, the Little Sword instantly shattered into an energy form; then the terrifying divine power contained within the Little Sword was also detonated, producing an even more terrifying explosion.

Within a radius of ten thousand meters, everything became nothingness.

Fortunately, he was already at an altitude of several tens of thousands of meters; otherwise, the ground would definitely have another Big Pit.

Well, today's attempt failed; let's try again tomorrow.

Xiao Feng sighed helplessly, revived on the spot, and then directly quit the game.

Speaking of which, he hasn't gone offline for half a year, and he doesn't know what the outside world has become.
