793: Oblivion

At this moment, Lin Xun slowly walked out, holding an orange-yellow object that resembled Aladdin's magic lamp.

That object was roughly half the size of Lin Xun.

How could it be Lin Xun?

Chen Du was a little confused.

Although Chen Du didn't have a specific candidate in mind, Lin Xun hadn't used the War Fog, an ultimate resource, when he fought him in Wave 35.

This resource should still be in the Wailing Cave, one of the Nine Forbidden Zones. Could it be that Lin Xun's earlier departure was to retrieve this ultimate resource?

And he obtained it directly?

That's too easy, isn't it?

"War Fog?"

"There's no mistake. This is the War Fog. How can you, a Rank 31 Domain Warrior, control the War Fog?"

The Black Dragon King said in a deep voice. He also seemed to be seeing the true form of the War Fog for the first time.

Lin Xun didn't answer. Instead, he touched the War Fog in his hand, and black Mist overflowed from the spout, enveloping him and Chen Du.

Seeing this, a cold glint flashed in the Black Dragon King's eyes.

He was seeing the true form of the War Fog for the first time, but the power of this ultimate resource was stronger than he had anticipated.

"The War Fog's attack mode is said to possess unparalleled destructive power."

"Now it seems, that's not an exaggeration."

"Alright, I've also obtained the heavens favor, so I won't play with you anymore."

With that, he flew away with a swift "whoosh," looking decisive.

It seemed he was heading to the Land of Dusk Death, preparing to open that sarcophagus.

To obtain that dream-level resource!

"Lin Xun."

Chen Du said somewhat anxiously.

Lin Xun shook his head, understanding what Chen Du wanted to say:

"I can't stop the Black Dragon King. The War Fog's attack power accumulates over time. It's precisely because it has never launched an attack for so many years that it was able to unleash that kind of power just now, comparable to the most top-tier strength below a Starry Sky Warrior."

"The second burst of black Mist was just a bluff. Fortunately, the Black Dragon King retreated when he realized the difficulty, otherwise, we would all have died."

Chen Du paused, then suddenly thought of something:

"Don't you have a mirror that can perfectly replicate the opponent's true form and abilities?"

"And a black notebook that can summon black lightning to instantly kill enemies."

"Can't you use them to stop the Black Dragon King?"

Lin Xun looked at Chen Du with a hint of surprise upon hearing this, but didn't ask further, explaining directly:

"You're talking about the 'mottled antique mirror' and the 'Death Note,' right?"

"Both of these are ultimate resources. Let's talk about the mottled antique mirror first."

"Firstly, that item was something I possessed in my previous life. In this life, for various reasons, I didn't go to acquire it."

"Secondly, the mottled antique mirror has a relatively low upper limit; it can only perfectly replicate lives less than or equal to Rank 35. When the Rank 35 upper limit was still relevant, it was indeed invincible."

"But now it's a bit insufficient, which is one of the reasons I didn't choose it in this life."

"The Death Note is the same; it only works on lives not exceeding Rank 35. Although I have it, it's useless against the Black Dragon King."

Chen Du's head buzzed upon hearing this.

So that's how it is.

The one who fought me in the Crystal Space before was Lin Xun from his Rebirth!

However, it is also the current Lin Xun; both are the same person.

But the Rebirth Lin Xun possessed the mottled antique mirror, while the current Lin Xun does not. From the results, the current Lin Xun chose a more powerful ultimate resource: the War Fog!

"You can control the War Fog because of the Star Vein?"

Chen Du voiced his guess.

"I don't control the War Fog; I've only gained temporary usage rights."

"But it is indeed because of the Star Vein."

Lin Xun didn't hide anything. Since things had come to this, he could share more information and began to answer some of Chen Du's questions.

"The War Fog isn't trapped in the Wailing Cave, nor was it left there by anyone. Instead, it was suppressed by the Star Vein and gradually submitted."

"You can simply understand it as a master-servant relationship."

"Although I control the Star Vein, the War Fog recognizes the Star Vein, not me. That's why I said I only gained temporary usage rights."

"As for the Shan Hai Civilization and the Undead Civilization, they are exceptions."

"Due to some coincidences, these two civilizations once jointly protected the Star Vein. Therefore, the War Fog granted them the right to a passage through the Mist, and the Star Vein allowed them to approach, but obtaining the Star Vein is impossible."

"Regarding this, I cannot tell you yet."

Chen Du nodded, accustomed to it, and said nothing.

"So, since you've appeared, does that mean now is the critical moment you spoke of?"

Lin Xun shook his head, not saying a word.

"What is your Star Vein's customized ability?"

Initially, Chen Du thought it was that mirror, but now it seems not. And Lin Xun hadn't displayed it in the Rank 35 Crystal Space either.

Could it be some kind of passive ability?

Lin Xun still didn't answer.

Chen Du was a little puzzled. At a time like this, he was still speaking in riddles.

Had the so-called critical moment not arrived yet?

And what could possibly still be unsaid at this point?

But Chen Du didn't ask further. He believed Lin Xun must have his reasons for doing so.

Currently, Chen Du couldn't stop the Black Dragon King. The only thing he could do was cherish his time and use the hundredfold acceleration to make himself stronger.

Subsequently, at Chen Du's request,

Lin Xun attacked Chen Du with the War Fog.

Just like that, five days passed... high martial calendar, 865, January 7th, 12:14 PM.

【Congratulations to the host, Life Strength Rank has increased from 38.9 to 39.】

【Congratulations to the host, Martial Skill level has increased from Third-tier Ascension 79% to Third-tier Ascension 80%.】

It must be said that in truly critical situations, improvement is the fastest.

Under the pressure of the environment, every cell in Chen Du's body radiated two words: get stronger!

Heroes always emerge in troubled times; that's the logic behind it.

Just then, a roar that shook the heavens and earth suddenly erupted.

"What is that?"

"And it's very close!"

Chen Du, who had just finished recovering, was startled.

A colossal, pitch-black creature was seen circling above the Land of Abandoned Armor.

The creature was covered in white, patterned armor-like shells, and its head somewhat resembled a turtle.

At this moment, it was floating above the Land of Abandoned Armor, its body extremely massive, roughly comparable to the Land of Abandoned Armor itself.

Which is about the size of Earth!

"Annihilation!"

Chen Du's pupils contracted:

"The Annihilation Egg God has actually revived at this time!"

(The 29th (tomorrow) will be a day off, the 30th (the day after tomorrow) will be the finale. The Egg God is not the final boss.)
