Chapter 131: External Avatar

The Illusion-Breaking Golden Eye looked the same as the True Eye skill previously obtained from the Cave-Dwelling Azure Serpent.

But the latter could also immunize against mental control, appraise items, and immunize against mental damage.

The Illusion-Breaking Golden Eye's advantage lay in the fact that as long as there was enough Qi, one could see through the information of a target of any level.

Lu Zheng gave it a casual try.

It only took one million points of Qi to see through the information of a lower-rank true god; by this analysis, seeing through a Main God's information was not impossible either.

As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle.

Only by grasping all the information could one launch targeted attacks against a target.

Especially since Lu Zheng had also mastered various transformations, he could better leverage his own advantages, pitting his strengths against the target's weaknesses to win easily! The other two skills were also very strong.

【Skill: External Avatar】

【Effect: At a minimum cost of ten million points of Qi, one avatar can be created; the avatar possesses one-tenth of the user's base attributes and all skills; the more Qi consumed, the more avatars created】

At first glance, this skill was not even as good as the Three-Tailed Spirit Fox's skill 'Triple Clone' — after all, the clones created by the latter still possessed half of the main body's base attributes.

But this External Avatar could create clones with one-tenth of the base attributes at any level, fixed.

Even if Lu Zheng later became a Main God, he would only need ten million points of Qi to create one avatar.

And the more Qi he had, the more avatars he could create.

One billion points of Qi could create one hundred External Avatars; although they only had one-tenth of the base attributes, they could use all skills and possessed a certain amount of Qi.

Their combat power was entirely on the same magnitude.

As long as the true body could deal damage, the avatars could too.

Although theoretically the damage value would be a bit lower, hundreds of avatars together would deal extremely considerable damage!

Moreover, Lu Zheng could fully recover one billion Qi per second, meaning he could create one hundred avatars in one second.

Once created, the avatars could persist indefinitely unless killed.

Whereas the Three-Tailed Spirit Fox's 'Triple Clone' required a continuous supply of Qi to maintain the avatars' existence.

With this External Avatar skill, it meant Lu Zheng could continuously create avatars and have them kill monsters in different places, obtaining experience points for himself.

One could say that with just this one skill alone, he could basically achieve invincibility.

【Skill: Bronze Head, Iron Arms (Passive)】

【Effect: Immune to single-hit damage values below one million points; physical damage reduction 50%, magic damage reduction 20%】

This skill could be described in two words: overbearing! It directly ignored half of physical damage and reduced one-fifth of magic damage.

Such a skill could be called incomparably overbearing.

The next to have its transformations and skills acquired by Lu Zheng was the Six-Eared Macaque.

【Summoned Beast: Unnamed】

【Race: Six-Eared Macaque】

【Quality: Five-Star Legendary Divine Pet】

【Level: LV. 1 (0.00%)】

【Skills: Ditian Wanfa, Dharma Form Heaven and Earth, Pass as Real, Ride Clouds and Drive Mist, External Avatar, Invulnerable to All Arts (Passive)】

This Six-Eared Macaque's abilities were similar to the Spirit-Resonant Stone Monkey's.

Only two skills were different.

【Skill: Pass as Real】

【Effect: At a minimum cost of one million points of Qi, can transform into any seen target, grasping all of its abilities and replacing it in all karmic connections to everything associated with it, including but not limited to magical treasures, bloodline bonds, etc.; after transformation, level and strength are completely identical to the target — the higher the target's cultivation above one's own, the longer the duration and the more Qi consumed】

This was a skill very similar to the Spirit-Resonant Stone Monkey's Seventy-Two Transformations.

But what made this skill overbearing was that even if the target's level was higher than one's own, one could still transform — it just consumed more Qi.

Theoretically, as long as Qi recovery could offset the continuous Qi consumption caused by the transformation, one could keep replacing a certain target and living on indefinitely, truly achieving passing as real! As long as one took on the target's appearance, one could even directly command the magical treasures the target had refined.

Such an ability was absolutely a nearly unsolvable counter against targets who relied on magical treasures and divine weapons against their enemies.

And for oneself, mastering the transformation form of an even more powerful individual meant being able to erupt with power many times greater than one's own in a short period of time.

This could undoubtedly save one's life at a critical moment!

【Skill: Invulnerable to All Arts (Passive)】

【Effect: Immune to single-hit damage values below one hundred million points and all corrosive damage; for the excess portion, physical damage reduction 20%, magic damage reduction 20%】

This skill also had similarities with the Spirit-Resonant Stone Monkey's 'Bronze Head, Iron Arms' — both could immunize against partial damage, but their emphases differed.

And with Lu Zheng simultaneously possessing both skills, under the stacking of effects, physical damage immunity reached 70%, magic damage reduction reached 40%, and single-hit damage below one hundred million points was nullified! Other divine pets also possessed similar Super Armor-type passive skills, and Lu Zheng felt it was possible that after fusing various physiques, he would form an absolute Super Armor.

The next to have its transformations and skills mastered was the Long-Armed Ape.

【Summoned Beast: Unnamed】

【Race: Long-Armed Ape】

【Quality: Five-Star Legendary Divine Pet】

【Level: LV. 1 (0.00%)】

【Skills: Seize Sun and Grasp Moon, Sun and Moon Dharma Form, Heaven-Earth Shift, Ride Clouds and Drive Mist, Divine East-West, Heaven-Reaching Super Armor (Passive)】

Lu Zheng already had similar versions of the three skills Sun and Moon Dharma Form, Heaven-Earth Shift, and Divine East-West, which could help deepen his mastery, but would not be of much help to combat power.

It was the last passive skill that once again gave Lu Zheng a certain boost.

【Skill: Heaven-Reaching Super Armor (Passive)】

【Effect: Immune to single-hit damage values below ten million points; physical damage reduction 25%, magic damage reduction 25%】

Both physical damage and magic damage had a quarter reduction.

By rights, under the stacking of three skills, physical damage reduction should reach 95%, and magic damage reduction should reach 65%.

The magic damage reduction had indeed been reached, but physical damage reduction was only 90.5%!

Damage reduction exceeds ninety percent, and stacking effects are weakened to one-tenth of their original value.

This was already extremely powerful.

Lu Zheng had already mastered Taotie's super-strong Super Armor skill "Mana Annihilation" — as long as spell damage did not exceed his current mana cap of 940 million, it would deal no damage to him!

The three Super Armor skills could also negate 111 million mana damage; spell skill damage below one billion was ineffective against Lu Zheng.

And damage values exceeding that number would still inflict less than ten percent true damage.

Am I perhaps a bit too tanky!

And this was not the end — Lu Zheng still had many divine pets, several of which also possessed Super Armor-type skills that he could master.

【Summoned Beast: Unnamed】

【Race: Red-Buttocked Horse Monkey】

【Quality: Five-Star Legendary Divine Pet】

【Level: LV. 1 (0.00%)】

【Skills: Yin-Yang Communion with the Divine, Shrinking the Earth to Inches, Moving Mountains and Shifting Stones, Riding Clouds and Driving Mist, Yang Spirit Leaving the Body, Evading Death and Prolonging Life (Passive)】

Lu Zheng spotted that passive skill at a glance.

【Skill: Evading Death and Prolonging Life (Passive)】

【Effect: All damage reduced by 50%, healing effect boosted by 50%】

A very simple description, yet the skill effect was incomparably powerful! All damage reduced by fifty percent, combined with the previous effects — so now I have the Absolute Super Armor, the kind that won't lose HP no matter how you hit me!?
