From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star

After Lu Heng discussed with the Iron Arm leader, they decided to destroy the evil god's finger.

The best way to destroy an evil god's finger is to burn it in a fire.

So, the two returned to the quenching furnace and threw the withered fingers into the quenching furnace.

The flames engulfed the evil god's fingers, burning into billowing black smoke and filling the air with an unpleasant smell of burnt rotten flesh.

During the burning process, a layer of translucent strange material rose up.

Lu Heng recognized at a glance that these rising translucent substances were source matter, but they were not ordinary source matter.

[Absorb the source material, and the degree of fusion of the source material will be improved. 】

[Source quality fusion degree: 52%]

[Absorb the divine essence, and the ability of the essence will gain the effect of deification. 】

[Shadow Travel (Divinity): Escape into the shadow rift, immune to all physical collisions, lasting 7 seconds. Deification effect: Gain shadow vision. After escaping into the shadow, your sight can penetrate material barriers. 】

Lu Heng couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he saw the effect of the deified ability of the source material.

In the original state of shadow travel, once you enter the interior of a substance, you cannot see the situation outside.

This is also the main reason why the Abyss Fire Thief couldn't escape even by hiding in the rock wall.

If it can see what's going on outside when it hides inside the rock wall, you can choose the optimal escape route and you won't be able to catch it at all.

Now the deified effect of [Shadow Travel] has increased the ability of shadow vision, which is a qualitative improvement.

Moreover, when used, shadow vision is not just a side effect of shadow travel. In specific scenes, there is a lot of room for development.

For example, if you need to see clearly what's going on inside a confined space, you can choose to escape into the shadows and gain shadow vision abilities.

…

Under the burning of the furnace fire, all the divine essence of this dry finger was precipitated, and then burned into ashes bit by bit.

Lu Heng was originally worried that the quenching furnace would not be able to burn off the finger, because if it were a true god, he would have an immortal body, and could not be burned by fire or cut by a knife.

This also shows that the evil god Barton is not a true god, but a demigod.

In fact, Lu Heng had already noticed it when he got the Ring of Barton.

Because the level of Barton's Ring is only A, the level is not as high as expected.

This also shows that the evil god Barton is actually just a demigod.

Of course, demigods are also gods. In front of mortals, demigods are still omnipotent existences.

The leader of the Iron Arm watched the Evil God's fingers turn into ashes, and finally let out a long breath: "I'll go back and see Mia. This child is inexperienced and doesn't even know she's been bewitched by the Evil God."

"I can't blame her entirely, I almost lost my mind."

Lu Heng watched the Iron Arm leader leave the forge, then took a shovel, shoveled up the ashes, and poured them into the flowerbed in the backyard of Stone Hammer Castle as fertilizer.

…

After weapon quenching, the weapons of the elite soldiers of the Banser tribe have been greatly improved, and the quenching level has basically reached level 3.

This raised the combat effectiveness of the Banser tribe to a higher level.

the next day.

Iron Arm formulated a battle plan and began to intercept the source material sacrifices transported by the evil god's servants on a large scale.

Lu Heng and his team also participated in the battle, which greatly increased the team's combat effectiveness.

On the road north of Blade's Edge Stone Forest.

A team of demons transporting source material sacrifices headed towards the Barton Temple along the road.

This demon team is relatively large, formed by the merger of three transport teams.

Since more and more demon teams have been ambushed in the past few days, the demon leader has made adjustments to allow multiple demon teams to merge and act together.

In this way, the number of teams that need to be protected is reduced, and the demon commander can take care of both.

In the Blade Stone Forest.

Su Muyu stood on a stone peak, her hair blown by the strong wind. She took out a hairband and tied her hair into a ponytail, then closed her eyes and controlled the scout eagle to conduct reconnaissance of the surrounding area.

"The demon team in the north of the stone forest has six prison cars and more than fifty demon servants, including six winged demon wizards. In addition, I also saw the winged demon leader Suggs, following him five kilometers away."

"Five kilometers away? Is it a trap? As soon as we take action, he will come over and pounce on us." Lin Zeyu's first reaction was to feel the danger.

"It doesn't look like it. Suggs' Winged Demon Air Force is not hiding. It's just flying five kilometers away. You can see it with a casual reconnaissance." Su Muyu shook her head, feeling that it didn't look like a trap.

"Expand the scope of reconnaissance with Suggs as the center."

Lu Heng arranged for Su Muyu to continue reconnaissance, then took out a skill crystal core and held it in his palm for inspection.

The core of this skill is [Thunder Spear], which condenses lightning energy on the spear and throws it out to cause lightning damage.

This skill is very powerful and has a very good damage coefficient.

Moreover, when actually used, the lightning damage caused is range damage, which means the range is relatively small.

Lu Heng's skill slot is full, but there happens to be a skill that is of the same type as [Thunder Spear]. They are both thunder skills and can be fused.

I melted Barton's Ring yesterday and gained 1,200 points of divine energy, which came in handy.

However, [Thunder Weapon] is a D-level skill, and [Thunder Spear] is a C-level skill. When skills of different levels are fused, a C-level skill or a D-level skill may appear after the fusion.

If D-level skills are fused, it would be equivalent to losing both the divine energy and the C-level skill crystal core.

Therefore, the fusion of skills of different levels is a more risky fusion method.

Lu Heng made a decision after a little consideration. He used his innate ability to unlock the skill lock of [Lightning Weapon] and began to absorb the energy of the [Thunder Spear] crystal core.

The energy of [Thunder Spear] flowed into the first skill slot and mixed with the energy of [Lightning Weapon].

The two energies collided with each other, producing a repulsive reaction, and the energy seemed to be boiling.

The energy of [Thunder Spear] was stronger, suppressing the energy of [Lightning Weapon].

After all, the former was a C-level skill, while the latter was a D-level skill.

If you don't find a way to calm the two energies, and continue like this, the skill slot will explode.

Lu Heng waited until the collision of the two energies reached the most intense stage, seized the best opportunity, and introduced 600 points of divine energy.

The divine energy entered the skill slot, and the two violent energies began to merge with the divine energy. In the end, the three energies formed a wonderful balance and restored to steady-state energy.

Lu Heng saw that the energy fusion was completed and immediately closed the skill lock.

[Skill fusion is completed, evolving into "Thunder Strike". 】

【Thunder Strike: Infuse the weapon with lightning energy and launch a powerful attack. After hitting the target, the lightning energy explodes, causing range thunderstorm damage. Thunderstorm range = 3 meters; damage coefficient = 2×spiritual attribute. Skill consumption: 30 source energy. Skill level: C level. 】

Seeing the fusion skill effect, Lu Heng couldn't help but show a touch of joy in his eyes.

After the [Lightning Weapon] is upgraded to [Thunder Strike], the damage is directly doubled, and it changes from single-target damage to range damage.

The damage coefficient is quite high, reaching 2×spiritual attribute.

Lu Heng's current mental power is 24 points, which means that the shock of the thunderstorm damage can reach 48 points.

Moreover, if the Aurora Blade is used to play [Thunder Strike], the weapon's [Soul Slashing] effect can be attached.

This means that the thunderstorm's range damage will bring out 8 points of spiritual damage from [Soul Slashing] and weaken all targets' spiritual attributes by 8 points.

The two damages add up to 56 points.

A low-level minnow would be killed instantly if it was hit by this range of damage.
