Chapter 546: Chapter 234: Sub-dragon Warrior, The Heaven-Defying Effects of a Golden Mechanic
Having come to this realization, Ah Qiang included.
Every member of the Curse Bone Race and Black Nightmare Race in the great hall.
Bowed their heads and knelt in unison.
Lin Ye paid no mind to the worship of these minions.
He once again opened the ability advancement interface.
Staring at the 52.3 evolution points, he fell into deep thought.
’Maybe...’
’I should split these evolution points and upgrade a few white and green abilities?’
The moment the thought arose, Lin Ye’s mind stirred, and he opened the advancement preview for the [Healing out of combat] ability.
[Healing out of combat (White) → Healing out of combat (Green): After leaving combat, you will rapidly recover your Life Value, Energy Value, and Physical Strength Value at a rate of 20% per second.]
[Cost: 1 Evolution Point]
It was just a simple numerical increase, not very significant.
Lin Ye dragged the progress bar to continue previewing the effect of the next tier.
[Healing out of combat (Blue): After leaving combat, you will instantly and fully recover your Life Value, Energy Value, and Physical Strength Value.]
[Cost: 10 Evolution Points]
’This one is good.’
At the blue quality, as long as he left combat, he would no longer need to wait, recovering to peak condition in an instant.
In situations that required continuous fighting, this could be considered a god-tier skill.
Lin Ye continued to preview.
[Dragon’s Heart (Purple): You recover 1% of your maximum Life Value, maximum Energy Value, and maximum Physical Strength Value per second. This effect changes to instant full recovery after leaving combat.]
[Cost: 50 Evolution Points]
Seeing this, Lin Ye’s breath hitched slightly.
’At purple quality, there’s a qualitative change!’
’It changes from out-of-combat recovery to permanent recovery!’
’Recovering 1% of my max Life Value per second... with my current Life Value as high as five million, that would be fifty thousand health points per second!’
That was a truly insane boost.
Lin Ye suppressed his excitement and dragged the progress bar all the way to the end in one go!
[Undying Body (Gold): You recover 10% of your maximum Life Value, maximum Energy Value, and maximum Physical Strength Value per second. If any of the above values fall below 50%, this effect is enhanced tenfold.]
[Cost: 100 Evolution Points]
’Ten percent of max Life Value recovered per second!’
’If my health drops below half, the recovery effect increases tenfold again!’
’This means that as long as my health drops below 50%, I’ll recover 100% of my maximum Life Value every second!’
’As long as I’m not killed instantly, I’ll be immortal!’
What’s more, he also had the powerful life-saving ability [Phase Transition]!
If he maxed out this ability, Lin Ye was certain that there was probably nothing left in this world that could kill him!
Of course, he might still be unable to defend against direct annihilation on the level of laws or causality.
But it was terrifying enough!
Lin Ye discovered that some of the abilities he possessed, just like Healing out of combat, could be upgraded all the way to gold.
For example, the [Overwhelm] ability.
After being advanced to gold, its effect also became incredibly heaven-defying.
[Sovereign (Gold): For targets whose level or evolutionary stage is equal to or lower than yours, any of your attacks will directly annihilate the target; for targets whose level or evolutionary stage is no more than 10% higher than yours, the damage multiplier you inflict is a constant 200%.]
[Cost: 100 Evolution Points]
’Another gold ability that’s simple, brutal, and utterly unreasonable!’
’As long as their level or evolutionary stage is lower than mine, it’s an instant kill!’
’If I were on a battlefield, I alone would be a walking natural disaster!’
After looking through all the upgradeable abilities one by one, Lin Ye found that almost every ability, as long as it could be upgraded to gold, would undergo an earth-shattering qualitative change, providing what could be called an unstoppable effect.
However, abilities like [Power of Life and Death] and [Phase Transition] could not be upgraded further.
Their current effects were the peak for these two abilities.
Lin Ye’s heart was now thoroughly itching with anticipation.
In the end, his gaze fell back upon the [Taotie] ability.
He opened the preview.
[Devouring Heaven and Earth (Gold): After you kill or subjugate a target, you will obtain the target’s full life energy, and you will be guaranteed to obtain one of its passive racial traits or racial skills.]
All racial traits and skills you obtain through this ability will no longer have usage restrictions and will completely become your own skills and traits.
You can choose to convert the life energy into attribute points to stack on yourself, or you can store this life energy to enhance your attack effects.
Life energy can be stored without limit. After storing a certain amount, the final stage of this ability will be unlocked.
Lin Ye’s pupils suddenly contracted.
’I’ve decided!’
’I’m saving these 52 evolution points!’
’Even if I can’t use them for now, I absolutely won’t spend them on anything else!’
Putting aside how tempting that so-called final stage was.
Just the change that allows unlimited use of temporary skills and passive traits alone solved his biggest pain point right now!
He would truly possess the powerful, innate abilities of the Celestial Abyss Race!
’This is true, infinite growth!’
Thinking of this, Lin Ye closed the system panel. The last bit of regret and impatience in his heart completely settled down.
His gaze fell once more upon the group of respectfully prostrated minions before him.
"Continue searching within the Painful Labyrinth. Don’t miss a single corner. See if there are any remaining Source Crystals."
"Yes, Master!"
All the minions responded in unison.
Lin Ye’s gaze finally settled on Ah Qiang.
"Additionally, you are to find the passage into the deeper levels."
Ever since that member of the Intelligent Mechanism Race self-destructed last time, the passage leading deeper into the chasm had been completely sealed.
