Chapter 152

"I don't know what the system is thinking; there are no earthly immortals on the Divine State Continent, so I'm already invincible. Whether I have this ring's skill or not doesn't matter—I might as well ask for something better."

"You're just out of breath because you're fat, right? The 50% critical hit rate is the core of this ring; you haven't heard it nagging in your ear for a while, and your complaints about the system are growing!"

Hong Yi timely said something to Shen Tianxing, who could only give a dry laugh, say nothing, and took the artifact exchange card to start looking for weapon-type artifacts.

"Heavenly Gang Opening Mountain Axe: increases martial power, comes with the skill 'Opening Mountain', 100% critical hit, deals damage equal to 100% of martial power, and has a splitting effect."

After searching for a while, Shen Tianxing finally found such an axe; it was decent, so he chose to exchange for it, then continued searching.

"Divine Artifact Divine-Level Zhuge Repeating Crossbow: adds 5000 martial power, includes piercing effect, infinite quiver, 100% hit rate, comes with the skill Ten Arrows Volley—pull the trigger to fire ten arrows simultaneously, each successive arrow's damage reduced by 5% after hitting."

The reason for choosing the Divine-Level Zhuge Repeating Crossbow is its piercing effect, infinite quiver, and 100% hit rate—these three points allow Shen Tianxing to easily snipe masters from a distance.

Although the Six Meridian Divine Sword is also long-range, its effective range is only about 10 meters; beyond that its power drops sharply, making the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow an excellent choice.

"System, fuse the Heavenly Gang Opening Mountain Axe and the Divine-Level Zhuge Repeating Crossbow into the Flying Dragon Spear."

After exchanging for the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow, Shen Tianxing immediately fused these two artifacts into the Flying Dragon Spear, making his strength equivalent to that of a Grandmaster peak.

"Congratulations, host, for successfully spending 400,000 Slaughter Points to fuse the Heavenly Gang Opening Mountain Axe and the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow into the Flying Dragon Spear; the Flying Dragon Spear is now Grade One, Level Seven, with all attributes increased by 70%."

Aside from anything else, just the increase in martial power from this has already brought Shen Tianxing's strength to the level of a Grandmaster peak, enough for him to walk sideways across the Divine State Continent.

Next, Shen Tianxing needs to improve his own martial realm; as for equipment, for now, no matter how much it's enhanced, it remains limited.

Shen Tianxing is in the Divine State Continent, where the highest martial power is Grandmaster Perfection; this realm is basically impossible to break through, and although there is an Earthly Immortal above it, that cannot be reached merely by increasing martial power.

The so-called Earthly Immortal is an absolutely invincible existence on this tiny plot of the Divine State Continent, even capable of making words become law.

Precisely because of that, it is restricted. Of course, Shen Tianxing, who possesses the system, will not truly be limited; martial power exceeding Grandmaster peak remains useful, but the realm cannot be crossed.

However, after completing the system's main quest and letting the system upgrade, the system will break the Divine State Continent's limitation, allowing Shen Tianxing to successfully enter the Earthly Immortal realm.

Taking out the Divine Martial Arts exchange card, Shen Tianxing chooses to exchange for the Buddha's Palm Fourth Form and the Northern Dark Divine Skill.

The Buddha's Palm is absolutely super-strong among divine martial arts, and its price far exceeds that of the Northern Dark Divine Skill.

However, the Northern Dark Divine Skill has its most unique feature: it can infinitely absorb others' inner power, causing one's own inner power to continuously grow.

Besides that, the Northern Dark Divine Skill has only five levels; the slaughter points needed to upgrade from entry to perfection are not expensive: 100,000 for proficiency, 500,000 for expertise, 1,000,000 for minor achievement, 5,000,000 for major achievement, and 10,000,000 for perfection.

"System, comprehend the Northern Dark Divine Skill and raise it to perfection."

"Congratulations, host, for successfully comprehending the Northern Dark Divine Skill, spending 16,600,000 Slaughter Points to successfully raise it to perfection."

"Northern Dark Divine Skill perfected: all attributes increased by 50%, absorbing others' inner power can be converted for one's own use at 100%, no inner power limit, enhances all martial arts damage by 50%."

Although the Northern Dark Divine Skill appears to only increase all attributes by 50% and not seem that strong, in reality its greatest strength lies in absorbing others' inner power, which has already reached 100%.

This means Shen Tianxing can absorb anyone's inner power, converting however much he absorbs, with no inner power limit; combined with the rapid inner power recovery of the Nine Yang Divine Skill, it is virtually invincible.

"System, comprehend the Fourth Form of the Buddha's Palm, Buddha Asks Jia Lan, and spend 6,100,000 Slaughter Points to raise it to Minor Accomplishment."

"Congratulations, host, for successfully comprehending the Fourth Form of the Buddha's Palm, Buddha Asks Jia Lan, spending 6,100,000 Slaughter Points. Raising the Fourth Form of the Buddha's Palm to Minor Accomplishment."

"Buddha's Palm Fourth Form, Buddha Asks Jia Lan, Minor Accomplishment: a single palm strike instantly increases damage by 350%; each level increase adds 50% damage; the damage area is a forward diameter of 40 meters, radius 35 meters; requires consumption of 3,000 inner power points."

Likewise, the Buddha's Palm Fourth Form also unlocks a single-target damage mode, which also enhances damage by 100%, though lacking special effects is indeed a bit regrettable.

Despite spending over 20 million Slaughter Points, Shen Tianxing's strength has surged like a rocket; after tallying his items and leaving the room, he believes he can begin a series of sweeping campaigns.

Shen Tianxing isn't in a hurry to use the discount card or open the hidden shop; he took out three Divine-level gift packs, checked his luck—72 is pretty good.

After thinking it over, Shen Tianxing decided to keep the three Divine-level gift packs, saving them for when his luck is higher, after all these are Divine-level items that could definitely yield heaven-defying treasures; without absolute luck, there's no need to rush.

He still has over 90 million Slaughter Points left, so he can proceed with proxy purchases.

"System, use the system hidden shop opening card."

"Congratulations, host, for successfully using the hidden shop opening card; the shop has been opened, the page updated, please proceed with your purchases."

Similarly, the fourth form of the Rulai Divine Palm also unlocked the single-target damage mode, also increasing damage by 100%, though it's a pity that it has no special effect.

Although he spent over 20 million Killing Value, it also let Shen Tianxing's strength rise like a rocket; after finishing counting the items and leaving the room, Shen Tianxing believed he could start a series of sweeps.

Shen Tianxing wasn't in a hurry to use the discount card and open the System Hidden Mall; he took out three God-Tier Gift Packs, then checked his Luck, 72 is pretty good.

After thinking carefully, Shen Tianxing still put away the three God-Tier Gift Packs, waiting for a time when his Luck Value is higher to open them; after all they are God-Tier, they can definitely produce heaven-defying good stuff, and without absolute Luck there's no need to be so rushed.

There were still over 90 million Killing Value left; Shen Tianxing could now do proxy purchasing.
