Chapter 540: Chapter 257: The Birth of ’Demonic Qi’, Flaming Moon Celestial Rush

After all, even though Lin Mo’s main power now stemmed from those few Epic Skills, Excellent Level skills were still a respectable Grade.

Coupled with his Total Magic Attribute now reaching 179 points, it would be strange if they weren’t powerful.

’Again, again!’

Lin Mo attacked again. Another bolt of lightning struck down, shattering another Giant Rock Puppet.

[Thunderous Fall] Skill Level +50

Another 50 Skill Level points were credited. Just as Lin Mo had hoped, this Magic shot straight to Level 4.

"Skill [Thunderous Fall] Level 3 (40/40) is upgrading!"

"Current Skill: [Thunderous Fall] Level 4 (20/100)"

"You have gained Basic Attribute Points: Magic Power +3!"

Strength and 118 Magic Power. After a long period of careful management, these two Attributes had finally reached the level Lin Mo had been aiming for.

’Now, what’s next...’

Lin Mo looked ahead.

Ahead of him, numerous Demons remained undefeated. A quick glance revealed there were nearly twenty of them.

Under normal circumstances, this number of Demons would have been enough to ensure their deaths.

After all, the massive creature lumbering unhurriedly toward them was in a league of its own.

It stood over ten meters tall, its body as massive as a small hill. With every step it took, the ground seemed to tremble.

Without a doubt, that was a Middle Lord Level Demon.

In theory, its presence alone would be enough to ensure that even if Eve and Deke gave it their all, they would be unable to defeat it.

But the Morin Clan’s knowledge of Lin Mo was still stuck back at the time of the battle for Lania City.

As for the previous mission in the Blackwater Swamp, since they had already colluded, the information passed on was nothing but fake news with no reference value.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Morin Clan, no matter how much of a genius Lin Mo was, his strength couldn’t possibly compare to the other two.

Add in the numerous Giant Stone Puppets, and it would be enough to annihilate them all right here.

But—

Lin Mo smiled faintly and strode forward. At the same time, a terrifying flame in his hand continuously gathered and compressed, finally forming a dark-red long spear.

[Celestial-Burning Flame Spear]!

Lin Mo swung his arm, and the Flame Spear shot out at an incredible speed, piercing through the body of a Giant Stone Puppet in an instant.

There was no suspense. The Giant Stone Puppet was instantly shattered by this terrifying power, its red-hot fragments scattering in all directions...

[Celestial-Burning Flame Spear] Skill Level +50

Using such an Epic Skill to kill these Demons, which were not particularly strong from Lin Mo’s perspective, was in itself a waste. So, Lin Mo deliberately chose a relatively powerful one, which was Level 7, and it directly provided 50 Skill Level points.

"Skill [Celestial-Burning Flame Spear] Level 1 (20/20) is upgrading!"

"Current Skill: [Celestial-Burning Flame Spear] Level 2 (30/40)"

These 50 Skill Level points raised [Celestial-Burning Flame Spear] to Level 2, leaving it only 10 points away from Level 3.

’That’s enough...’

The next moment, Lin Mo gripped his sword in one hand. Qi and Blood condensed on the blade as he slashed out, unleashing a crescent of blood-colored Sword Qi.

The powerful Sword Qi instantly sliced through a Giant Stone Puppet’s body, easily cleaving it in two. The cut was perfectly smooth, as if it had sliced through fragile paper.

[Blood Moon Celestial Rush] Skill Level +50

"Skill [Blood Moon Celestial Rush] Level 1 (20/20) is upgrading!"

"Current Skill: [Blood Moon Celestial Rush] Level 2 (30/40)"

’Now!’

Lin Mo’s pupils contracted. In the next instant, flames ignited in his left hand while his Qi and Blood gathered in his right.

The Flame Spear and the Blood-colored Sword Qi flashed across the target almost simultaneously.

The next moment, a series of notifications appeared before Lin Mo’s eyes.

[Celestial-Burning Flame Spear] Skill Level +40

"Skill [Celestial-Burning Flame Spear] Level 2 (40/40) is upgrading!"

"Current Skill: [Celestial-Burning Flame Spear] Level 3 (30/80)"

"You have gained Basic Attribute Points: Magic Power +4, Spirit +1"

[Blood Moon Celestial Rush] Skill Level +50

"Skill [Blood Moon Celestial Rush] Level 2 (40/40) is upgrading!"

"Current Skill: [Blood Moon Celestial Rush] Level 3 (40/80)"

"You have gained Basic Attribute Points: Strength +5."

"Please select an Evolutionary Direction—"

’This wasn’t the time to be thinking about Evolutionary Directions.’

Lin Mo’s gaze skipped past that message.

A profound and mysterious sensation surged wildly within him.

He recalled that day again, his attempt to "fuse" Magic Power and Qi and Blood.

He had never stopped trying since then and had made some progress.

But that progress was still a long, long way from achieving a true fusion.

And now, at this very moment.

In that instant, Lin Mo seemed to fall into a state of egolessness. The sounds around him gradually faded, and his vision turned to a field of white.

Countless "threads" wove themselves before his eyes—

It was the dance of Magic Power and Qi and Blood, like elegant dancers on a boundless stage, constantly intertwining, connecting!

"Lin Mo?"

Deke noticed something was off. Lin Mo, who moments ago had been slaughtering Demons as easily as slicing vegetables, had suddenly stopped moving and was standing motionless on the spot.

The Demons were closing in on him, especially that giant figure... the Deep Rock Giant!

"Danger!"

As Deke’s voice rang out, Shefilya had already shot forward at her top speed. Her figure was like a phantom, moving much faster than she ever had before.

The sharp wind stung her face. Shefilya looked at the motionless figure, her heart filled with anxiety and panic.

But she quickly calmed down...

Her frantic steps steadied, then gradually slowed, as she stared at the figure in bewilderment.

A golden sword light descended from the sky, striking the massive, ten-meter-tall body. Seeing the creature stand there, unmoved, Eve clenched her fists in frustration.

’It’s no use.’

Her strength was still no match for a true Middle Lord Level Demon.

Especially not one as massive and defensively powerful as a Deep Rock Giant!

The golden Sword Qi had only left a gash less than half a meter deep on its body, completely failing to halt its advance.

The mountain-like Demon finally reached Lin Mo. It raised a heavy leg to stomp down, enveloping him in a shadow that weighed untold tons.

"Hooo—"

At that moment, Lin Mo slowly exhaled a murky breath and suddenly opened his eyes.

The pure white world before him shattered, and a brand-new power surged rapidly within his body.

Flames ignited on the blade of the sword in his hand, but it wasn’t just flames...

Powerful Qi and Blood, bearing a crimson color like fresh blood, seeped into the flames.

In his eyes, Lin Mo saw the countless interwoven "threads," just as he had in that brief instant before.

He brandished the sword in his hand, bringing it down lightly.

"Flaming Moon Celestial Rush."

Amid the roaring sounds of the giant Demon’s movements, Lin Mo’s whispered words seemed insignificant.

But in that instant, the red point of light, like a firefly’s glow, was so dazzling, so scorching.

The Giant’s heavy leg came crashing down. In that instant, the condensed point of light suddenly dyed the entire dark space red.

A crescent-shaped Sword Qi, wreathed in scorching flames, flashed like a miniature sun, leaving a fleeting, almost illusory afterimage in everyone’s eyes.

The next moment, a red line appeared on the massive body.

Far in the distance, an unknown height above them, a point of explosive light flashed.

Only then did a dull sound reach their ears.

It wasn’t deafening, for the sound had traveled hundreds, if not thousands, of meters. It had passed through the hole in the cavern ceiling above them—created by the earlier "accident"—and struck the roof of the middle layer of the quarry.

Their gazes returned to the scene before them. The Deep Rock Giant had been cut into two neat halves, the edges of the wound still a searing crimson from the flames.

Its massive body crashed to the ground, kicking up a great cloud of dust.

Amid the dust, illuminated by the fiery glow of the bisected corpse, the indistinct figure sheathed his sword, stood, and then calmly turned and walked toward them.
