I Can Unlimited Skill Points Novel - Chapter 378

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The pupils on the stone slab slowly closed. The surrounding pillars, chains, and stone jars did not move at all. Darkness, coldness, and silence filled the entire underground palace.

“It seems that those ants can no longer bring fear to this planet. I have to return to my original plan and do it myself.”

After a long time, the pupils reopened.

As invisible ripples spread out, the surrounding pillars and stone jars began to shake. The silence in the underground palace was broken.

The firebird that was reflected in the pupils was suddenly infiltrated by the black aura, which then automatically left its body.

!!

At this moment, the firebird let out a tragic scream. Bright red blood dripped from its eyes, turning into endless flames that burned on the surface of the sea.

However, everyone’s gazes were still focused on the war weapon. The commotion caused by an inscription realm creature hundreds of kilometers away seemed to be extremely small compared to the battlefield on the surface of the sea. They did not even catch the attention of man-made satellites.

The firebird was once one of the terrifying creatures, but it was completely ignored now.

…

On the battlefield on the surface of the sea, an endless shadow was besieging the remaining two targets.

A large number of shock waves were formed by the collisions, as though nuclear bombs had been detonated one after another. Blinding flashes of light appeared and disappeared one after another.

Of course, nuclear bombs could only produce a similar effect in terms of momentum. Their actual lethality was no longer comparable to creatures at the fusion realm.

Every attack from the shadow could shatter a small portion of its target’s body. Although the attribute was purely physical damage, it was still extremely terrifying. It indicated that one had reached the limit in a certain attribute.

The bone beast and the giant on the warhorse were forced to use their Undying Marks to recover time and time again, while looking for a gap to escape out of the range of the black threads.

If it wasn’t the spiritual figure, but Chen Yiming who was on the battlefield,

he could withstand it once or twice, but he could not withstand it countless times. Without the Undying Mark from the fusion realm, he could be completely destroyed by the shadow in just a few moves.

At this moment, under the surface of the sea, an eyeball emitting a black aura floated towards the war weapon at a moderate speed. When it got close, it fused with the invisible barrier and disappeared.

Immediately after, the war weapon suddenly let out a sharp cry. An extremely suppressed aura spread out, causing one’s hair to stand on end.

“Uh… could it be that I made a mistake in my judgment?” Chen Yiming was surprised and suspicious.

Logically speaking, the reason why the bone beast dared to appear and join up with its companion was naturally because it was confident that it could escape from a war weapon that had yet to be completely formed.

Now, the spiritual figure had already escaped for a while, but the other party was still being beaten up by the shadow. What surprised him the most was that the tentacles extended by the war weapon suddenly started to change forms.

A moment ago, there were still dozens of tentacles surrounding them. The gap was still relatively large, but now, the tentacles had inexplicably disappeared and were replaced by a cylindrical black barrier.

Other than the sound of the shadow beating them up, nothing that was inside the barrier could be seen. It completely blocked out one’s vision and spiritual power.

Inside the black barrier.

“shit, this is the black barrier that only completed war weapons use. The defense of the barrier is comparable to the strength of the shadow.”

The bone beast was looking for a suitable opportunity to escape. According to its intuition, three shadows were watching it at that moment. However, the moment it saw the tentacles transform, the pale flames in its eyes flickered.

This was different from the behavior of the incomplete war weapons when the dark forest world was invaded by the black tide.

The endless shadows combined with the tentacles were indeed powerful, but with the price of being destroyed many times and then recovering each time, one could usually still find a gap to escape.

For those at the level of the fusion realm, they could not afford to offend it, but they could hide from it. They would treat it as if they were being chased down.

However, the black barrier had completely sealed them in a fixed space. As long as they could not break through the seal and escape, the Undying Mark would eventually run out of its recovery ability.

There were also three shadows watching the giant on the warhorse.

“After losing to it once, I accidentally obtained a special trump card, which is equivalent to a second life.” When the giant saw the black barrier, it recalled the incident in the past.

The reason why the lower half of its body had disappeared was because it had encountered a situation similar to the one it was facing at this moment.

However, at that time, there was not just the bone beast that was on their side. The black barrier had covered a larger area, and the shadows were stronger.

As time passed, a tragic battle that had lasted for a long time erupted within the black barrier.

The number of shadows had decreased from three to one, but they still had the ability to defeat their targets. Chen Yiming could feel the aura of death spreading out from far away.

At the same time, he noticed something special about the black barrier that the tentacles had transformed into. It was as if the darkness of the color represented the strength of the defense.

“It can’t be broken!”

The blockade of the black barrier was impregnable. From time to time, a certain spot would clearly darken, and the color at the furthest corner would fade.

The bone beast and the giant on the warhorse could at most make the barrier shake a little when they attacked together. They were still far from breaking it.

Just like that, the battle on the surface of the sea lasted until the afternoon of the next day before it finally calmed down. The first time the war weapon was activated, it killed two existences at the level of the fusion realm.

At the same time, the blue planet trembled. The rumored black tide had really arrived this time, in a way that made one feel despair.

…

At the second industrial base in the galaxy, a simple-looking laboratory building had been specially built for the European Union’s experts. Only the Daxia Kingdom’s construction speed could allow them to build it so quickly.

When he walked into the laboratory building, the corridor was still filled with the smell of new renovations. However, all the laboratories had already had teams stationed there, and they were working almost 24 hours a day.

In one of the laboratories, Professor Nelson and his team had been up all night and had yet to sleep. They had been temporarily assigned to the analysis of the battlefield on the surface of the sea.

“This is too terrifying. Too terrifying.”

From the current technological equipment and the photos taken by the satellites, although the final analysis had yet to be done, the golden-haired and blue-eyed laboratory technicians were already so shocked that their understanding of the situation was overturned.

“I didn’t expect nuclear explosions to be so weak compared to the energy fluctuations in the sea battlefield this time. The difference in quantity is completely different. If I want a more detailed and accurate result, I need to build a new model.”

The young researcher’s eyes were bloodshot, and he only had eyes for the data sheets on the table.

Through his powerful mental arithmetic ability, he could roughly estimate the range of the result at a speed faster than a machine. This range was still a distance away from the accurate figure, but he could still tell that there was a difference of several levels.

Other than the results from the data, the feeling of being on the battlefield even though they were separated over a large distance was too strong.

The supreme sword that pierced through the shadows, the bone east that fell from an unknown attack, and the warhorse and the giant that were suddenly sent flying with serious injuries. These were all scenes that had not been seen before.

At that time, the young researcher was standing on the rooftop of the laboratory building and had personally witnessed the destructive scene. He saw the aftershock sweep past a small island near the sea, and the island shattered into dust on the spot.

At that time, he had deduced that if the battlefield had happened on land, even the largest country on the blue planet would probably not be able to withstand even a few blows, and the shape of the continent would change drastically.

In other words, once a battle of this level was not contained, the blue planet would definitely become unrecognizable. The former continents would sink to the bottom of the sea, and new land would appear in some areas at the bottom of the sea.

“Tap tap tap!”

The sound of footsteps rang out.

A blond, curly-haired laboratory technician in high heels and black-rimmed glasses rushed into the laboratory with a report.

“Professor, the report is finally out. We mobilized the supercomputers from all the countries in the world to analyze it. Every time those at that level clashed, the instantaneous energy fluctuation was equivalent to hundreds of nuclear bombs exploding at the same time. Furthermore, it was a conservative estimate. We didn’t include the interference from the tentacles all over the battlefield.”

Hearing this news, the laboratory fell silent. Professor Nelson and the other laboratory technicians seemed to be in a daze as their thoughts raced their minds.

How many attacks could a spaceship built by humans withstand?

If Chen Yiming wasn’t able to protect the spaceship from all sides, would all the humans in the spaceship die in the void of the universe?

If the war weapon was so terrifying, would the blockade on the moon be even stronger?

Although Chen Yiming was the strongest human who represented humanity, and seemed to be handling the battle with ease, everyone’s worry about the space plan deepened.

Warriors had extraordinary strength and could easily demolish buildings with their bare hands and dive into the deep sea without any tools. This superhuman ability was now as insignificant as an ant.

“I think it seems like we should split up first and regroup after leaving the solar system. Isn’t that better?”

After a long time, Professor Nelson muttered to himself.

By splitting it into parts, it could give the humans who were the spark of humanity a greater ability to withstand mistakes. However, they did not know if they could make it in time due to the technical difficulties.

…

At the military committee’s meeting, the top leader who had just ended the international video conference rushed back to the meeting room.

The meeting room was already full. No one had left since last night. At most, if they could not hold it in any longer. they would quickly go to the toilet on the same floor to settle it before returning.

“Chen Yiming broke through the encirclement of the tentacles, but the bone beast and the giant riding the warhorse couldn’t do it. What do you think?” the top leader sat down and asked.

From the moment the humans were almost wiped out to the moment the war weapon from the black tide was activated, the humans felt as insignificant as ants.

The only good news was that Chen Yiming had broken through the encirclement set up by the war weapon with his supreme sword. This gave them some hope amidst their despair.

Without this hope, the leaders of the various countries who were watching the battle on the surface of the sea live would have fainted on the spot.

Then, from the higher ranks to the lower levels, the confidence of the humans would quickly be destroyed, causing chaos globally. There would be problems in the operation of the society, and the space plan would have to be put on hold…

“This is no longer a problem that can be resolved by the cooperation between the countries. We have to be prepared to take on a slim chance of survival and try to break through the blockade.”

A general sighed and raised his hand to speak. His tone revealed his helplessness.

“The black tide has already arrived. We can’t consider launching the spaceship only when we have full confidence. If we can break out of the blockade, we can still gradually improve the technology of the spaceship while traveling in space,” the chief of staff added.

The chief of staff was a person with an outstanding strategic vision. He could see a scene in his mind as he traveled through time to see things as they happened in the future. On the way to a new planet that could support life, the human spaceships would gradually undergo changes.

At first, it was extremely simple and could barely be considered a spaceship. Then, one technological breakthrough after another was achieved, and they gradually became fully armed and had the ability to approach unfamiliar planets and gather resources to replenish their resources.

Then, everyone expressed their own opinions and shared what they could add on.

The top leader nodded as he listened.

The moment the war weapon from the black tide started to make a move, the space plan was forced to enter the next stage. No matter how far along they were in the previous stage, they had to try to break through the blockade as soon as possible.

Furthermore, since they were perfecting the technology of the spaceship while escaping, the foundation was the population. Only with a sufficient population could there be enough researchers.

“Take away all of humanity, or most of the humans.”

Of course, the top leader knew that this was too difficult. The main target of the black tide was intelligent creatures like humans. How could it let them go so easily?

However, he had thought of a solution. He could not just let things be.

…

On the snowy mountain.

The hole that had been sealed with ice melted again, revealing the snow beast and the huge eye.

The two creatures at the fusion realm from the dark forest world looked quietly towards the distant east. They each had their own means of watching the battle on the surface of the sea.

“Are they dead?”

After a long time, the muffled voice of the snow beast echoed through the snow mountain, and its breathing was a little irregular.

In the end, the bone beast and the giant on a warhorse could not break through the black barrier. The war weapon retracted its tentacles and disappeared beneath the surface of the sea.

“Our understanding of the war weapons is wrong.”

The huge eye emitted a spiritual fluctuation, and the tentacles behind it were trembling. It was clear that it could not calm down at all.

Having accidentally lost two fighters at the level of the fusion realm had instantly cast a shadow over the plan to break through the blockade. It had to be known that the dark forest world had only been sealed off after they tried to break through the third blockade.

However, things were different now. Less than 10% of this batch of creatures at the top of the fusion realm were still alive, and every bit of combat power was precious.

Otherwise, the huge eye would not have dared to appear in the Antarctic. This was also the main reason why the bone beast gave up on the idea of devouring it.

“Is it possible to work with that human?” The snow beast suddenly thought of this question.

From the battle on the surface of the sea, the supreme sword in the hand of the strongest human was extremely strong. It had pierced through the shadow with just one strike.

It had to be known that the special ability of the shadows of war weapons had always been unstoppable in the dark forest world. The physical body could not withstand such a pure physical attack.

However, on second thought, the difference in strength between the two sides had already been reversed. It was not impossible for their relationship to suddenly become that of a master and servant halfway through their cooperation. The snow beast could only suppress its thoughts.
