Genshin Impact: A Mortal's Ascension to Godhood

No one knows exactly what the evil eye does.

After all, this is a weapon developed by the Kingdom of Winter that is said to be a replacement for the Eye of God. Even if Liyue can pick up some samples for reverse analysis, this ominous thing will leak out evil power as soon as it is touched, thus harming the user. Therefore, even researchers can only carefully test and gradually figure out the composition and function of the evil eye.

But now, Li Tao has witnessed another function of the Evil Eye in actual combat - in addition to being able to absorb elemental power instead of the Eye of God, it can also absorb a large amount of vitality to manipulate life.

This is why a group of dead people can be pulled up to continue fighting now.

"That's why necromancers are not very popular in fantasy novels, because it's too low a standard to be such a dry rice noodle."

Li Tao's hands were tired from killing, but the evil eyes were still releasing energy crazily, looking for hosts to continue fighting. They would even kill each other, but their main action was to find living people with abundant vitality to possess. Therefore, the main targets of these "zombies" controlled by the evil eyes were still Li Tao and others.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Ye Lan shot several arrows from a distance. Her movements were light and flexible, but the arrows were filled with torrents.

The continuous bow and arrow attacks accurately aimed at each evil eye, and this attack shattered at least five evil eyes.

At this time, Li Tao seemed a little embarrassed - his swordsmanship was not delicate at all, but more of a big move. It would take him much more effort than Ye Lan to accurately stab each evil eye that controlled the corpse's movements.

“Maybe this job should be done by the AD?” Li Tao muttered to himself, swinging the sword in his hand again to force the “zombies” back. “But if Xingqiu were here, his [Rain Curtain Sword] should be able to easily track the location of the Evil Eye—”

Phew, if only I could condense a portable water element attack like the [Rain Curtain Sword].

Thinking of this, Li Tao suddenly recalled the time when Xingqiu used the secret of the ancient Chinese sword technique, Cloud and Water Returning, to protect himself when he was ambushed by the Fatui and the Fire Debt Collector on the Minlin Trail.

That move was a plus version of Cai Yu Liu Hong, or it could be said to be a move with a more profound meaning.

The so-called "Cut the Rain and Leave the Rainbow" is an elemental burst, that is, unfolding the Rainbow Sword Force, controlling the phantom sword rain to fight, and generating the maximum number of Rain Curtain Swords. Rain Curtain Swords can assist in combat, and during the duration of the elemental burst, the number of Rain Curtain Swords will not decrease and will be generated continuously.

As for the Cloud and Water Returning to the Heart, all the Rainbow Swords are incorporated into the sword style, using the Cloud Sword Style above the Rainbow Sword Style. Cloud, which contains water mist, means an unmoving heart. Putting all the water elements into the sword is also to completely calm the heart, swing the sword with a detached posture, and thus generate a slashing attack that is completely unified with cloud, water, sword, and heart.

Yes, if the sword moves driven by thoughts cannot accurately attack the evil eye, then what about embedding the movements into thoughts? It is not to control the will, but to make the will act on its own and create a world on its own.

That is the mystery of [Clouds and Water Return to the Heart].

And now, Li Tao feels that he can use his own [Clouds and Water Return]!

Once again, Li Tao looked up at the sky and saw a sky full of stars in the daytime. However, this time, the stars did not break. Instead, his second life star kept spinning, bringing him into a mysterious realm.

He seemed to be drunk, the world was spinning around him, and he fell into a small boat. Outside was a quiet blue, and he couldn't tell whether it was water or sky.

It was as if someone was whispering in his ear;

"The west wind blows the waves of Dongting Lake.

Overnight, Xiangjun's hair turned white.

After getting drunk, I didn’t know the sky was in the water.

The boat is full of sweet dreams, weighing down the starry sky."

Ding--

Li Tao rushed into the battle formation again, but with his eyes closed. He didn't need to rely on his eyesight to "see" the countless evil lights on the battlefield. Those spots of light were as dazzling as torches in the dark in his "sight", so he only needed to swing his sword, and only one sword.

"The Second Constellation: Drunken Dream of Tianshui"

For everyone, dreams are the key to reality.

When Li Tao could "see" the evil light in his dreamlike spirit, it was obvious that these evil eyes also affected the spirit of the possessed. When Li Tao passed through the illusion of the dream and arrived at the evil reality, the spiritual nature of the evil eyes was also clearly visible under his eyes and his sword.

"My sword can directly cut off the spiritual essence in the evil eye - therefore, they cannot take this blow!"

Undoubtedly! Domineering!

Countless evil eyes were shattered by this blow, and the "corpses" of about a hundred people collapsed and fell. The bodies of those people had long been drained of their life energy by the evil eyes and were completely broken into pieces.

In the eyes of others, Li Tao seemed to be enlightened. He just stood there and took a few deep breaths. Suddenly, he swung out a sword, and a large number of evil eyes exploded as if they were attacked by the void.

Most people cannot understand this situation, but the users of the Eye of God present fully understand it.

Li Tao's aura suddenly surged. He was either comprehending his constellation or about to explode with his elements. Anyway, both of them could greatly enhance his combat power or turn the tide of the battle, but no one expected him to explode at this time.

Keqing, who had just turned back to the battlefield, was even more puzzled: I had only been there to arrange for the rescue team for about five minutes, how come almost all of the troublesome Fatui "zombies" had been killed?

Chongyun, who had seen the entire process of Li Tao's explosion, said confidently, "Xingqiu, I said Brother Li is a genius, right? Are you sure this move isn't a copy of Yunshui Guixin's?"

"Yes, he only needs to read it once to understand his own path..." Xingqiu said with a complicated expression, "Perhaps, he doesn't need us to protect him anymore. We haven't even known each other for a year."

“Hey, Xingqiu, don’t worry, this is a good thing.” Chongyun saw his friend’s awkward thoughts and said, “At worst, we can let him treat us to a meal after this is over.”

Xingqiu held his head in his hands: "Isn't this almost over?"

......

After Li Tao's sword cut off all the energy of the evil eye, someone in the country of Zhidong suffered a great misfortune.

“Ughh ...

The brown-haired man who organized this whole operation looked at the man rolling on the ground with neither joy nor sadness, pointed at him and asked his men beside him: "What's going on again? Didn't he say that as long as the power in the evil eye is activated remotely, the army of the dead can tear the people of Liyue apart? At worst, can't we defeat the enemy and cause them more trouble?"

"Why is it like it's backfired now?"

"Uh... Sir, I don't know."

The last Fatui executive officer, [Young Master], laughed angrily, stood up, looked into the distance, and said leisurely, "I thought that sending out a few advance teams would at least avenge the murder of the Fire Debt Handler, if not turn Liyue upside down."

"I never thought that I would not be able to take revenge on my old grudge, but would instead lose everyone. Even though I used the countermeasures of the evil eye, I was still attacked from a distance!"

"Liyue really has a profound foundation. It should not be underestimated."

The young master felt a little frustrated, but this made him more determined to find a different way to complete the task assigned to him by Zhidong.

"I'll record this in the files and allow you to look through them. As for those who died or were injured during the mission, you need compensation from the Finance Department. I won't allocate funds if the mission is not successful."

"Money must be spent wisely. Isn't Liyue a country where merchants have a say? Then let's let the Northland Bank go further..."
