Chapter 12486
The first few levels of cultivation are indeed unremarkable; at best, one is just a slightly more durable human punching bag.
However, quantitative change leads to qualitative change.
Once the seventh level of the Vajra Form is mastered, its defensive strength will be sufficient to cover the attacks of most five-zhang-tall Dharma Form masters.
In other words, even if they stood still, those five-zhang-tall Dharma Avatar experts would find it difficult to inflict substantial damage.
Unless you master some extremely lethal techniques, it's just pure scraping.
Once the ninth level is mastered, the defensive strength becomes even more abnormal; ordinary attacks are not even enough to scratch the surface, let alone break through the defense.
At the level of the Five-Zhang Dharma Form, this is already a completely unbalanced and abnormal existence.
Anyone who faces such a hard-shelled turtle would be driven to despair.
Even if you have a high-burst killing move that can cause some damage, it will be greatly reduced, and you will then be trapped in a slow and agonizing situation.
By the time you finally manage to unleash your next killing move, the opponent's Dharma form might have already fully recovered.
After all, the reason a killing move is called a killing move is that it can't be used as a normal attack.
How is this played?
Lin Yi immediately understood the mentality of Cao Mang and his ilk.
I know I can't beat you, but you're just a shameless coward, and I'm not convinced. I just can't stand you.
While it's true that Master Fang is widely recognized as the strongest five-zhang-tall Dharma Image, he still falls short in truly winning over the masses.
That said, the Fang family has always had the Vajra Form, but looking at the entire history of the Fang family, very few have been able to reach the seventh level.
Master Fang Wu, on the other hand, had mastered the eighth level, a feat unparalleled in history.
On the one hand, their qualifications are highly compatible; on the other hand, they naturally have unique opportunities.
If he hadn't been immobilized by the Wind-Fixing Pearl right from the start, and hadn't been misled by Lin Yi's Extreme Intent Technique, preventing him from immediately activating his Dharma Form, Lin Yi would have had to put in a lot of effort to kill him.
One day later.
Lin Yi emerged from the new world feeling refreshed and invigorated.
The ninth level of the Vajra Form!
Even the ancestors of the Fang family who created the Vajra Form could hardly imagine that someone could actually master the ninth level, and that someone was an outsider without Fang family blood!
"It's a bit of a pity that there's no tenth floor."
Lin Yi felt a pang of regret.
Although he had never fought against a master of the Four-Zhang Dharma Form, judging from his own attack strength, the Nine-Layer Vajra Form would naturally have absolute dominance at the Five-Zhang Dharma Form level.
However, when placed at the level of the Four-Zhang Dharma Form, it falls somewhat short of expectations.
The high defense still has an effect; anyone would still find it disgusting to fight, but it's not to the point of being completely ineffective.
Lin Yi had a premonition that if he could advance to the next level and create the tenth level of the Vajra Form, he would probably be invincible at the four-zhang Dharma Form level.
Unfortunately, this is something we can only dream about.
The Fang family ancestors never even reached the level of the Four-Zhang Dharma Form, nor did they ever master the Nine-Level Vajra Form, let alone the Ten-Level Vajra Form.
Lin Yi did take a look with Jiang Xiaoshang, but even with Jiang Xiaoshang's perspective, they could only come to one conclusion.
Nine layers is already the ultimate level of Vajra form; its potential has been fully explored.
To reach the next level, one must start from scratch and recreate a Vajra image from scratch.
For Lin Yi, that was beyond his capabilities.
It's not possible right now, at least not.
Despite the regret, Lin Yi wasn't greedy enough.
With his current setup, the Butterfly Knife provides 30% physical evasion, coupled with the powerful defense of the Nine-Layer Vajra Form. In addition, he has the Ultimate Divine Eye to avoid damage in critical moments.
When you list out the whole set of features, even Lin Yi himself was secretly amazed.
"What a bastard!"
Lin Yi had no doubt that if the Five Saints of the aristocratic families came looking for trouble right now, they would probably be disgusted to death by him.
Don't forget he also has Divine Speed and Black Star Explosion.
It is incredibly fast, can emit energy waves, and is extremely durable. Any expert with the rank of four-zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) in the Dharma Aspect would be in for a headache.
To be honest, Lin Yi is now tempted to go and fight the Five Saints of the Aristocratic Families.
However, they ultimately accepted it.
A small leak will sink a great ship.
Let's keep a low profile for now and wait until we can secure a spot for the Three-Zhang Dharma Form.
After five days of calm, public opinion in Tianjun gradually subsided until a notice issued by the racetrack hall stirred up trouble again.
Special track game!
Just like last time, five people will be randomly selected, and the winners will be rewarded with Godhood Fragments, and will also have a chance to obtain divine equipment!
Lin Yi's heart stirred.
Although it's supposed to be a random selection, given the care I've received from my fellow villagers in the secular world, there's a high probability I won't be absent.
Sure enough, just as he received the message, he was enveloped by a beam of light.
The scene changed drastically the next second, and they found themselves inside a military tent.
"Only two people?"
Lin Yi immediately scanned the entire area and realized that he was in a military camp. At this moment, there was only himself and one other person inside the tent.
Last time, five participants gathered together. Although they competed with each other, they were generally considered to be on the same side.
This time it's clear they've broken up.
"Holy crap! The End of the World Emperor?"
The person on the other end was startled when they realized what was happening and immediately adopted a defensive posture.
This was his first time entering the special track bureau, and he had no idea what was going on. So when he suddenly saw Lin Yi, he was naturally extremely nervous.
The shadow of a famous tree.
Recently, the title of "Emperor of the End" has become synonymous with a powerful, almost demonic, figure in Tianjun.
The fate of Master Fang serves as a cautionary tale.
Anyone would be nervous in that situation.
"Don't be nervous, we should be on the same side."
Lin Yi looked the other man up and down: "Brother, what's your name?"
This man has delicate features and exudes a scholarly air, but judging from his demeanor, he is not a complete scholar. He should be a second-generation member of a prestigious family with strict upbringing.
"I am Zhong Wuqi, and I have met the Emperor of the End."
The young man bowed respectfully to Lin Yi, and then carefully took two steps back to create some distance.
"The Zhong family?"
Lin Yi thought about it and realized that the Zhong family was indeed one of the prominent families in Tianjun, but it was only a third-rate family.
No wonder the other party was so nervous.
The Fang family was a second-rate family, and they even had the strongest five-zhang Dharma Image, Master Fang, in charge, yet they were still wiped out just like that.
The Zhong family is merely a third-rate aristocratic family, so naturally they are not to be trifled with.
As they spoke, a jade pendant appeared in each of their hands. Upon probing with their divine senses, a stream of information immediately flowed into their sea of consciousness.
As expected, it's another historical drama, just like last time.
"Hongmen Banquet?"
Lin Yi was very familiar with this story, and according to the script, he was playing the role of Zhang Liang.
However, unlike last time, this time there is an additional concept of script completion.
To obtain the divine equipment reward, two conditions must be met simultaneously.
First, being on the winning side and surviving to the end.
Secondly, the script has the highest level of completion. (End of Chapter)
