I Can Unlimited Skill Points Novel - Chapter 377

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In order to avoid being detected by the war weapon, the black-helmeted giant suppressed his own aura and combat power.

It had not expected the supreme sword formed by Chen Yiming’s spiritual figure to be at the level of the fusion realm. It was caught off guard and split into two.

Facing an existence at the same level, it was extremely dangerous to be unguarded. Once a combined attack from the opponent’s essence, energy, and spirit hit the Undying Mark, there was a high chance that it would die aggrievedly.

At this moment, the bone beast arrived and landed beside the two halves of its body.

“You were almost killed!”

!!

Two pale flames were flickering in its eyes. Its mouth, which was filled with dense fangs, opened and closed, and its expression seemed to be teasing it.

As soon as it finished speaking, the sound of a heartbeat rang out, echoing heavily across the surface of the sea. It was like the sound of thunder before a storm, or the sound of a volcano accumulating its strength before it erupted.

The strange whispers caused by the loss of control of his spiritual power suddenly disappeared. All the scattered blood essence and limbs returned along the path they had dispersed along under an invisible suction force.

In the end, the giant, who had lost its black helmet, stood up together with its huge warhorse. The black helmet was a defense item and had been completely destroyed.

There was a terrifying scar on its face, from its forehead to its lower jaw. For some reason, it had not healed completely and was left on its face.

“shit, what’s going on on your side? Why didn’t the ritual go according to plan?” the giant on the warhorse said through gritted teeth, its expression changing constantly.

If the sacrificial ritual had been successful, it would not have been stopped by a human at the level of the inscription realm, and even been cut in half by him.

They would already have unleashed the terrifying power of the fusion realm and would be unleashing attacks while attempting to break through the blockade.

This planet was on the verge of the first invasion of the black tide. The power of the blockade on it was not like that of the dark forest world, where it was no longer possible to escape. However, it was located in an unknown galaxy.

If not for the fact that they had no other option, it would be a huge risk to rashly leave a planet that supported life and move through the desolate outer space.

In fact, after leaving the planet, without a destination in mind, there was a high chance that one would completely lose their way and eventually die in some corner of the universe.

“It should be because of that sword.” The bone beast stared at the sword-shaped mark on the hilt of the sword in Chen Yiming’s hand.

The reason why beings at the fusion realm were equipped with the undying ability was because of the Undying Mark. This was a sign that these beings had surpassed the level of the supernatural and were moving towards an even higher level.

Their body and mind had completely fused with the mysterious symbols. Most of the accidents they encountered while traveling through outer space would no longer pose any risk to them and could be easily avoided.

“This planet is a cultivation desert. It shouldn’t be able to give rise to beings at the fusion realm without a long period of accumulation. Is there a traitor among us?”

The giant riding the warhorse also stared at the sword-shaped mark. The sword body, blade, hilt, and so on were not important. It was the Undying Mark that was the symbol of the fusion realm. As long as it was there, it would have a deterrent effect.

“It appeared in the dark forest world, but it was still in the inscription realm at that time. I didn’t expect it to join forces with humans and destroy all the Yin and Yang formations.”

The bone beast still thought that the spiritual figure that had transformed into the supreme sword had come from the dark forest world, and many coincidences had led to their current situation.

After benefiting from the appearance of the space-travel passages linked to the dark forest world, the blue planet had a cultivation environment that was only one or two levels lower.

It was impossible for any creature to break through to the same level as them without a long period of accumulation.

Just as Chen Yiming was confronting the bone beast and the giant on a warhorse, the war weapon finally started to move.

The war weapon had the shape of a jellyfish, but the true appearance of its core was still hidden behind a barrier, and only its tentacles were revealed.

The sky suddenly darkened, and an aura of death began to appear. Countless black threads inexplicably appeared in the air. This was its special perception ability.

“Stay hidden!”

Chen Yiming received a warning from the figure in his mind, and quickly returned to his normal size. The following battle wouldn’t have much to do with him.

The war weapon’s targets were the spiritual figure, the bone beast, and the giant on the warhorse. He only needed to dodge the aftershock of the battle in time.

Chen Yiming had absolute confidence that he could withstand the fusion attack of essence, energy, and spirit.

It was also because of this that he dared to let the spiritual figure unleash its true power at the level of the fusion realm to attack the giant together with its mount.

“Boom!”

Before the war weapon surfaced, the sea under their feet exploded, and black tentacles attacked the three targets at the same time.

The moment Chen Yiming saw the black tentacles, he felt like he had been pulled into an unknown space. There was a huge creature in this space with thousands of tentacles floating around.

Most of the surrounding area was dark. A few areas inexplicably provided light for one to see clearly, but there was nothing good that was revealed.

There was a pool of blood, a cliff with rotting corpses, a cave with countless glowing pupils, and so on.

Terrifying whispers came from all over the place, as if countless demons and ghosts surrounded the area.

This gave one the feeling that they were in hell. There was no way out, and they still had to face the pressure from the huge creature with thousands of tentacles that was an unknown distance away.

In the next moment, these scenes were all shattered.

Chen Yiming’s vision returned to normal, and he realized that he was flying backward. He was dozens of kilometers away from his original position, and the supreme sword formed by the spiritual figure in his hand had disappeared.

“Was it because my spiritual power failed to fuse with the mysterious symbols that my five senses were easily affected?” Chen Yiming thought to himself.

When he was fighting the black-helmeted giant, both of them specialized in strength. With his double talent, Chen Yiming’s physique had long since exceeded the limits of the inscription realm.

If not for the fact that the spiritual figure had sent him far away, Chen Yiming would have remained rooted on the spot and gotten stabbed by the tentacles.

The outcome of that was obvious. It would definitely not be anything good.

When his body landed back on the surface of the sea, the black threads could no longer be seen in the air. He was no longer within the range of the war weapon.

Chen Yiming looked up and saw that a battle had broken out on the surface of the sea.

A fan-shaped ripple shot out from the mouth of the bone beast, destroying all the black threads in its path. Then, a pair of bone wings spread out from its back, and in the blink of an eye, it flew into the sky and dodged the attacks from the tentacles.

The warhorse under the giant spat out three streams of black flames from its nostrils and mouth at the tentacles coming at it. The black flames could burn anything, and immediately burned the black threads in the air to ashes.

It no longer dared to suppress its cultivation level. The warhorse unleashed its full speed and escaped from the range of the black threads in just a few steps.

The spiritual figure did not have any experience fighting war weapons, so it followed suit and unleashed the Sword Aura. The Sword Aura completely countered the spiritual attacks, and the black threads disappeared upon making contact, creating a large empty space.

After doing this, the spiritual figure soared into the sky and easily dodged the tentacles that were trying to surround it.

“It’s an incomplete war weapon. Since the bone beast dared to appear and join up with its companion, it seems that it really can’t do anything about the creatures at the fusion realm.”

Chen Yiming observed the attacks from the tentacles of the war weapon. If this was all it could do, it wouldn’t be able to capture any of the three targets.

As soon as this thought appeared, a twist immediately happened in the situation on the battlefield.

The bone beast that had flown into the sky released its spiritual power with a serious expression, as if it was trying to investigate something.

However, its back suddenly suffered a heavy blow. Layers of white bone broke apart, and a huge hole appeared in his body. The impact created a terrifying shock wave that was like a nuclear bomb. It could even be seen from the coastline of the Daxia Kingdom.

Finally, it slammed into the surface of the sea from the sky. The bone beast let out a painful roar. Not only was its body injured, but many bones had also fallen out from its body.

The warhorse, which was running so fast that it seemed to have teleported, encountered a similar attack almost at the same time. The horse’s abdomen was hit by an unknown attack, and a large amount of its flesh and blood exploded. It was almost cut in half.

The giant riding on it seemed to have been prepared for this. It grabbed at the hole in the horse’s abdomen with one hand and flung something away.

The surface of the sea was hit by waves that soared into the sky. Along the way, the seawater was dyed red with blood, and the screams of the warhorse echoed in the space between the sky and the earth.

“An attack that can’t be sensed by spiritual power!”

The bone beast and the giant on the warhorse should have made some preparations. Chen Yiming saw this and instantly communicated with the figure in his mind.

The way to deal with this was to use their bodies to face the attack. They would suffer heavy damage, but they had to avoid the attack from reaching the Undying Mark.

At the same time, the spiritual figure also faced a sudden attack from above.

The moment it received the news from Chen Yiming, it immediately transformed into a spinning sword that clashed with the incoming attack.

“Boom!”

Unexpectedly, the spinning supreme sword did not break apart. Instead, it forcefully broke through a flickering shadow and continued to charge into the sky.

“The system’s products are definitely top-notch!”

Chen Yiming was overjoyed. The performance brought about by his Level-6 swordsmanship talent had completely met his expectations.

Since the actions of the bone beast indicated that there was no absolute difference between an incomplete war weapon and the fusion realm, it was naturally not a problem to rely on the top-notch talent provided by the system.

This was also evidenced by the fact that the spiritual figure had directly turned into a supreme sword and won the head-on battle.

“Hmm?”

Their injuries were visibly recovering, and the bone beast and the giant on the warhorse also noticed the situation in the sky.

“It actually broke through the shadow!”

The flickering shadow was reflected in the pale flames in the eyes of the bone beast. When it shattered, it revealed a human-like appearance.

This was a special ability of the war weapons. Shadows could come and go without a trace. The creatures at the fusion realm in the dark forest world believed that war weapons had the special ability to create a temporary space.

Therefore, their spiritual power could not detect these shadows. They needed to focus on protecting the Undying Mark in their body the moment the attack appeared.

“I might not be able to defeat that spiritual figure!”

The giant on the warhorse focused on a different point compared to its companion and felt its heart tighten. It started to worry about the problems after it escaped. There was a difference between living creatures and non-living things like the war weapon.

Earlier, it had wanted to have a chance to get back at him later, but now, it seemed that if they met again, it had to escape immediately. Otherwise, it might be killed.

It suddenly thought of the tragic situation of the huge eye. There was only one circle left of the ripple pattern, which meant that most of its Undying Mark had been destroyed.

“Could it be?”

Logically speaking, the huge eye had arrived on the blue planet before a war weapon was produced. It should not have suffered such damage before trying to break out of the encirclement.

For creatures at the fusion realm, the damage to their body and mind could be healed by the Undying Mark. Therefore, direct physical and spiritual damage was not considered as injuries.

Of course, the number of times the Undying Mark could be used in a short period of time was limited. This limit was related to the degree of affinity with the power of nature. The lower limit was dozens of times, and the highest was 99 times.

In other words, even if one could not destroy the Undying Mark immediately, they could still kill creatures at the fusion realm by destroying them at most 99 times.

The supreme sword formed by the spiritual figure unexpectedly broke through the shadow and rushed out of the range of the black threads.

Not long after, it turned into a stream of light and flew towards Chen Yiming. Soon, it was in his hand again. The war weapon didn’t use the same unknown attacks to stop it.

On the battlefield on the sea, just as the bone beast and the giant on the warhorses recovered from their injuries, the war weapon had already arrived near them.

More tentacles appeared from the surface of the sea and sealed off the surroundings. This encirclement was incomparable to what it was at the start, and they faced attacks from the tentacles in almost every direction.

“How will those two escape?”

Chen Yiming watched intently. The spiritual figure breaking through to the fusion realm had only increased its combat strength. This was a rare opportunity to watch the fusion realm in battle.

Under the pressure of the war weapon, the bone beast and the giant on the warhorse might be forced to reveal some of their trump cards.

In the future, when they tried to break through the blockade, the chances of them being able to trick Chen Yiming would decrease a little. He would also be more confident in safely sending off the spaceship carrying the spark of humanity.

…

In an underground palace in the uninhabited desert on the African continent.

A firebird was reflected in the pupils on the stone slab. The firebird’s eyes reflected the scene on the sea. An unknown existence related to the black tide was secretly observing everything.

“The conflict has indeed been successfully sowed, but there seems to be something unexpected.”

The unexpected thing referred to the spiritual figure. Even the existence the pupils on the stone slab belonged to did not expect that the difference in strength would be completely reversed.

After the spiritual figure broke through, the combat strength it displayed was extraordinary.

The dark forest world had been invaded by the black tide twice, but the remaining creatures at the fusion realm did not know that before the requirements were met for the black tide to descend, it was the same no matter which side caused negative emotions on the blue planet.

Furthermore, if it went smoothly as expected, it would unknowingly speed up the descent of the black tide and shorten the time needed to form the blockade.
