Chapter 1071 - 259: Battle Against Divine Spirit
The Soldiers who entered the Desolate Domain World basically all had Wutong’s Commander Bonus, and on the battlefield Violet was also providing tactical bonuses, so the monsters simply couldn’t stop the Golden Pansy Army’s advance.
Lin Rui actually wished he could run into a few more Wild Monster units; those small waves of monsters like before were just right.
But unfortunately, the biggest feature of this Desolate Domain World was how empty it was—what stood out was its vast land and sparse population.
The most boring thing was the constant marching. After walking for a full three-plus hours, Lin Rui still hadn’t encountered any more monsters; instead, the Prophet Tree House was now right in front of them.
Before reaching the Prophet Tree House, everyone took a deep, cold breath in unison.
Violet’s face was grave as she asked, "Lord, are we fighting?"
"Fight?" Lin Rui held his breath, staring at the monster, then decisively waved his hand and said, "Fight! Sooner or later we have to try clashing with a Divine Spirit."
Everyone looked toward the monster guarding the entrance of the Prophet Tree House.
The Guardian Monster in front of this structure numbered over 500 units, and the leader was a Divine Spirit.
This was the most orthodox kind of Divine Spirit, at a staggering Tier 12, possessing a full set of Mythical Traits. With Lin Rui’s Tier Eight Attributes, he couldn’t even probe its detailed Attributes.
Behind it, there were more than five hundred Demigod-level troops—the Silent Death Legion Annihilators!
These Demigod-level legions were at least Tier 10 at the lowest.
Meanwhile, the troops of the Golden Pansy Domain had their highest tier at only Tier Nine.
You could say that in terms of scale, tier, and Talent, the other side completely outclassed the Golden Pansy Domain. There was not a single aspect the Golden Pansy Domain could compare in; under normal circumstances this would be an absolute steamroll.
The Golden Pansy Domain’s greatest reliance lay in Wutong’s Commander Traits, as well as Lin Rui’s own terrifyingly powerful Traits, and the massive Attribute bonuses from numerous Mythical Artifacts.
[Crimson Kite’s Wings]
[Attributes: One-time-use item]
[Talent: Mythical Level]
[The Divine Bird that brandishes Crimson Flame and soars aloft. Grants Soldiers the power to break through the End.]
[After use, bestows Divine Power upon the Clan race, greatly raising the Clan race’s Talent and capabilities.]
[Trait 1: Granting Celestial Essence Honor: Increases the Talent of one unit type within the Clan by +1 (cannot exceed Legendary-level)]
[Trait 2: Granting Star Thorn Scattering Splendor: +50% Divine Damage for one unit type within the Clan.]
[Trait 3: Divine Blessing Prayer: Gain Trait: Normal attacks deal +20% total damage, skill range increased by 100%]
[Trait 4: Granting Red Lotus Karmic Fire: Killing opponents accumulates the power of Red Lotus Karmic Fire. When Red Lotus Karmic Fire reaches full charge, you can activate the Killing Skill [Red Lotus Karmic Fire], launching continuous random assaults, then locking onto enemies within a large area. [Red Lotus] deals Fire Attribute Spiritual Damage equal to 200% Attack Power to a random enemy 8 times. [Karmic Fire] deals Fire Attribute Spiritual Damage equal to 400% Attack Power to enemies within an 80-meter large area, and applies 50% deceleration for 4.5 seconds. [Reliance] After a Soldier casts the Killing Skill Red Lotus Karmic Fire, they gain a 9-second enhancement, during which they are in Overlord State, Attack Speed +200%, and normal attacks additionally restore 1% of their own Spiritual Energy Value.]
[Trait 5: When this Clan’s Soldiers are formed into a squad with other Soldiers of the same camp, they automatically serve as Captain. During battle, the entire squad’s Physical Defense is increased by +40%, Life Limit +9%, and Attack Power gains an additional +100% Fire Attribute Damage.]
Under the empowerment of this Mythical Artifact, the Soldiers on average all possessed Pseudo-Mythical Level capability, or at the very least had Pseudo Demi-God Level capability.
In particular, Trait 4, Granting Red Lotus Karmic Fire—after activation, they could enter an untargetable state, launch random assaults, and perform large-area attacks on opponents.
This was an ability all Golden Pansy Knights possessed, and it was also an important pillar for confronting the Power of Deathly Silence.
The problem was that the Red Lotus Karmic Fire required first finishing off enemies to accumulate.
To rapidly kill Demigod-level Soldiers, especially the troublesome Silent Death Legion, was extremely difficult.
Especially since this Demigod-level unit in front of them even bore the Legion prefix; they were called [Silent Army: Annihilator Squad].
They could freely switch between Spirit Body and material forms for offense or disengagement, could arbitrarily change their own size, and could even seize others’ bodies.
Aside from freely switching between Spirit Body and material forms, the most troublesome ability of the Silent Army: Annihilator Squad was their Immortal and Undying Trait.
Which meant that even if you killed them, they would continue fighting for 30 seconds thanks to their Undying Trait.
In that state, they took on a green Spiritual Body State, immune to most damage and immune to control at the same time.
This alone was already infuriating—they were already dead; whether you hit them or not wouldn’t affect the battle anymore.
Theoretically, the best option would be to control them in place and wait for the state to dissipate.
But the problem was, they couldn’t be controlled.
And the most outrageous part was that if during that period they cast the [Substitute Death] skill, then they would come back to life again!
[Substitute Death lvmax: Borrowing corpse to return the soul, bringing the dead back to life. The Silent Army uses the target hero’s soul to exchange the two sides’ current HP, breaking through the Yin and Yang Limit. Cast range 0.25 meters, cast time 1 second. Cooldown time 24 hours, no skill cost.]
This was practically a fully evolved version of the Substitute Death skill for scapegoats.
As long as they got close to the opponent, they could absorb the opponent’s yang energy and make the opponent die in their stead.
This skill did not have to be cast after death; it could also be used in a low-HP state before dying.
But unleashing it with a roar after death was undoubtedly the most valuable use—the opponent would die instantly, while they themselves would come back from the dead.
Given the Gold Pansy Knights’ tank-like Life Value, even at Tier Eight they had over a hundred thousand HP. That might not be enough for a Demigod to fully recover to peak state, but draining one Golden Pansy Knight dry to help them recover 30% HP would still be no problem at all.
