"You can only hold on for three seconds!"
Lin Xiao did not hesitate and returned to his peak state in an instant. Time traveled to the head of the phoenix, but after a while of searching, he could not find the core of the phoenix.
Without hesitation, he flashed to the tail of the Phoenix. Lin Xiao's eyes moved, and without groping, he instantly traveled to a certain place on the back of the Phoenix that had just passed by. Time stopped for the flames within a range of ten meters, and at the same time, a solid round sphere also solidified.
It was obvious that this was the core of the Phoenix, which had been moving back and forth in the Phoenix's body. He raised his knife and chopped it off. The huge Phoenix shook violently and almost collapsed.
But he had found the core of the phoenix. He slashed three times in one second. When the ten seconds in the time bubble were over, the huge phoenix collapsed directly and turned into flames that rushed in all directions.
Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and fell from the air, but before he could take a second breath, a powerful attraction came from the center of the flames, drawing all the flames to the center, transforming them into a phoenix egg wrapped in blazing flames. Energy fluctuations that made his heart palpitate came from the phoenix egg.
"Nirvana!"
"Rise from the ashes!"
Lin Xiao reacted immediately and time traveled back and forth again to search. He soon found the phoenix egg that was moving irregularly inside the phoenix body. He moved to the top of the phoenix egg and chopped it down fiercely with the knife. In an instant, a number 99/100 appeared in front of him, and there was also a ten-second countdown.
Obviously, the countdown is the time it takes for the Phoenix to be reborn from the ashes, and one hundred is the number of attacks required to break the Phoenix egg.
"It's so simple!"
Lin Xiao smiled confidently and swung his sword continuously.
With only two times of time lock and mind stilling, he completed the final blow when there were still five seconds left on the countdown. He cracked the phoenix shell with one blow, and endless uncontrolled flames gushed out, and were quickly sucked into the center by an invisible force to form a new phoenix egg.
This is not rebirth, but an explosion.
Light of Nirvana (light orange): The first light born after the phoenix is reborn.
Attribute: Nirvana, forcibly upgrade a piece of equipment to a higher level. The specific upgrade value depends on the equipment.
"It's a pity that it's a prop and not other equipment."
Lin Xiao only had two pieces of equipment, a blue long sword, and the other was the eternal tree heart of dark purple quality. With this...
He paused, took off the eternal tree heart, held the dazzling white fireball in his right hand, thought about it, and gently pressed on the eternal tree heart.
The next level is the 36th level. I can't get other weapons for the time being, so I can only strengthen the existing weapons to increase my strength.
The weapon is just ordinary blue quality, and it only becomes purple quality after upgrading to a higher level, which feels like quite a waste.
The heart of the Eternal Tree is dark purple, and the next level is orange. It is unlikely that a light orange item can be forcibly upgraded to dark orange, but it is no problem to upgrade light orange plus dark purple to orange.
The quality difference is surprisingly large as the level changes in the later stages. When the Eternal Tree Heart is strengthened to orange, its power should be greatly improved.
As the blazing white light of Nirvana merged into the heart of the Eternal Tree, the entire heart of the tree began to burn with blazing white flames and soon merged into it. The heart of the tree turned into a transparent crystal similar to a diamond, and faint wisps of flames could be seen swimming in it.
Heart of Eternity (Orange): The heart of the Eternal Tree fuses with the first light born after the Phoenix Nirvana, thus reactivating the power of the Eternal Tree.
Attributes: Upper limit of vitality +300%, upper limit of physical strength +300%, life recovery speed +700%, physical strength recovery speed +700%.
Skill: Eternal Fire. Each attack inflicts an additional 30% of the caster's own fire damage, and converts up to 30% of the damage from each attack into health and stamina to restore the caster.
Skill: Fire of Nirvana, reduces fire damage by 70% and becomes immune to all fire-related negative states.
Evaluation: The Eternal Tree Heart, after being fused with the Fire of Nirvana, reproduces a trace of the power of the Miracle Tree.
The effect is very awesome, whether it is the super high life endurance bonus and recovery ability, attack bloodsucking, or the significant fire damage reduction, they are all very useful.
One piece of magic equipment is so awesome, wouldn't it be even more powerful if you equip six pieces of magic equipment?
It is worth mentioning that the equipment in this world is not equipped according to the position of the body, there is no helmet, armor, necklace, ring, etc., but there are only six equipment grids, and you can equip six pieces of any type of equipment. If you are willing to equip six weapons at once, it will work at the same time.
Lin Xiao is equivalent to getting a big item at the beginning, but there are still four empty slots. When he can get a few equipment as awesome as the Heart of Eternity to match it, I believe it will be very powerful.
The countdown ended quickly, and when the white light in the sky disappeared, a blue beam of light fell from the sky to the ground. Wherever it touched the ground, a layer of ice instantly appeared and quickly spread to the surroundings.
"It's not my illusion?"
He thought that the last level of the Tower of Babel was to deal with an illusion that had the same strength and equipment as himself, but it turned out not to be the case.
As the blue light beam became brighter, the temperature in the battle space became lower and lower. Compared with the Phoenix in the previous level, it was completely like ice and fire.
Lin Xiao looked intently at the blue light column in the center, trying to find his opponent at this level, to see if he could interrupt the increasingly cold temperature, but there was no other figure in the void except the blue light column that was getting brighter and colder.
"What does this level mean? Just to see how long I can last, right?"
He looked around in confusion but found nothing.
There is no other choice but to wait.
As the blue light column became brighter and brighter, the freezing speed became faster and faster, and soon it spread to the entire battle space. Even the surrounding walls and the top of the head were frozen. The entire battle space turned into a frozen world. At this time, a figure floating in the air appeared faintly in the dazzling light column.
"Crack!"
There were some burrs in the void, which was the little moisture in the air being frozen.
Seeing that the environment was getting worse and worse, Lin Xiao didn't dare to wait any longer. After the phantom successfully descended, he immediately turned into a stream of light and passed through the phantom.
A terrifying extreme cold that made Lin Xiao feel suffocated descended after he used Time Wandering to pass through the phantom. This thing had a passive skill similar to the Lightning Ghost that could bounce back lightning. Time Wandering passed through his body, and the terrifying cold directly froze him behind this figure made of ice.
The ancient ice soul Calder is a cold projection outside of time. He comes from the depths of the dark and cold chaotic void sea. He witnessed the birth of the universe and its end.
Calder is the supreme power that exists today, yesterday and forever. In Calder's eyes, everything in the world is nothingness that can be annihilated at any time.
As the universe ages and decays, Calder's projection will become younger and more powerful. His control over frost can freeze everything. The light emitted by his projection is extremely dazzling. At that time, he will no longer be a projection, but a new greatness!
The unimaginable freezing is not immune to the invincible state of time wandering, or in other words, he is indeed invincible in the state of time wandering, but he cannot be exempted from the real freezing when penetrating the ancient ice soul, but it is delayed after his time wandering state ends.
Therefore, Lin Xiao's time lock locked the projection of the ancient ice spirit Calde, but he himself was also frozen.
What made him even more frustrated was that he was frozen for longer than the time lock. When the time bubble collapsed, he was still in a frozen state.
The three-second freeze time ended, and even the two-second state of mind stopping caused by time wandering passed.
During these two seconds he was still in a state of deceleration, and the deceleration was extremely exaggerated, with his speed reduced by 90%. Although the deceleration effect was decreasing with the passage of time and the distance, the state of mind stopping due to time wandering had long passed.
Lin Xiao was dumbfounded. How could he fight like this?
He had played a lot of ice tricks, but he had never seen anything this outrageous.
Not to mention that he couldn't even get close without time travel. The closer he got, the lower the temperature became, the slower his speed became, and at the same time his life recovery rate was also rapidly decreasing. If he didn't use time travel to enter an invincible state and travel back and forth, it would be difficult for him to even get close.
There was no way to defeat him!
He was completely unable to defeat the projection of the ancient ice spirit Calder, but he didn't know whether he should be thankful or not, as Calder seemed unable to defeat him either.
Although his frost power surpasses the normal laws of frost and the extreme cold power freezes everything, its pure killing power is not high. Whether it is various types of freezing, frost strikes, or the conversion of frost attributes into physical or other attributes, they are all absorbed by Lin Xiao's damage talent.
In other words, the two sides fought for a long time, but neither side lost much blood.
This is so embarrassing!
Lin Xiao used up all his time roaming in one breath, and tried more than a dozen different methods but to no avail.
He jumped directly into the body of the Ancient Ice Soul and was frozen before he could react. If the Ancient Ice Soul had not actively expelled him, he might have remained frozen until the end of time.
He appeared a little further away, and although he wasn't frozen directly, he couldn't do anything at such a long distance.
He even tried to swing the weapon in his hand far away. The long sword hit the ancient ice soul with a crisp "ding" sound, and a small white dot appeared that disappeared the next second. Then it was frozen in place by a ball of exploding ice from Calder.
There is absolutely no way.
The battle reached a stalemate.
The stalemate lasted for several hours. Lin Xiao couldn't even admit defeat because according to the rules of the Tower of Babel challenge, he could not admit defeat and quit during the challenge.
You can either quit before the countdown for level 35 is over, or quit after completing this level. You cannot quit during the challenge. Once it starts, one side must fail.
Ten hours passed.
Twenty hours had passed, and Lin Xiao had been bombarded into a painful cycle of freezing, slowing, freezing, and slowing down, unable to do anything.
He is in despair.
But I have to say that the 36th level of the Tower of Babel is indeed outrageous, that is, his damage absorption from the black hole is also outrageous. It can completely absorb all types of damage, including true damage. If other damage absorption skills are used, there will always be some attributes that cannot be absorbed. This ancient ice is not just frost, it has converted dozens of attributes to bombard back and forth, but it has never hurt him at all.
Lin Xiao didn't know when this painful torment of being frozen would end. He just hoped that the Tower of Babel challenge would have a time limit, and it would end automatically when the time limit was up.
At first he thought it was twenty-four hours.
But after twenty-four hours nothing happened.
He also hoped it would be thirty-six hours.
Another thirty-six hours passed and still nothing happened.
He pinned his hopes on another forty-eight hours.
I endured in silence for forty-eight hours and nothing happened.
Lin Xiao stopped talking.
It took him more than ten minutes to raise his head, and more than ten hours to take a dozen steps to the front of the Ancient Ice Spirit. It took him several hours to raise his arm, and several hours to stab out. Finally, after an unknown amount of time, the tip of the knife finally touched the chest of the Ancient Ice Spirit Calder.
"Ding!"
The entire battle space was solidified by an indescribable force. The extreme cold covering the entire battle space quickly disappeared, and the temperature continued to rise.
The omnipresent frost force gathered towards the ancient ice soul Calder who had been in the center, and turned into a thick deep blue light column.
The temperature in the air rose rapidly, and the frozen Lin Xiao slowly recovered, blinking in confusion.
"Crack!"
The long sword in his hand broke into pieces like brittle ice, and countless pieces scattered all over the ground.
He didn't care about this at all, his eyes were focused on what was in front of him, and the screen above showed:
"Congratulations on defeating the projection of the ancient ice spirit Calder and becoming the new defender of the Tower of Babel!"
"I defeated the projection of the ancient ice spirit Calder? How did I defeat it?"
From beginning to end, apart from the time travel through time, he only encountered the ancient ice spirit Kald twice, and didn't even get a scratch on his skin. How could he have survived?
Lin Xiao was very puzzled, but since the Tower of Babel could not communicate, he naturally had no way of getting an answer.
He could only guess that it might be similar to a competition, where neither side could do anything to the other before the time was up, so the winner would be calculated by the number of hits or the loss of life. He didn't know how the Tower of Babel calculated it, but he was judged the winner anyway.
Although he was a little confused, victory is always a good thing. Lin Xiao calmed himself down and reached out to grab a prismatic crystal hanging in the air that was slowly rotating and emitting an extremely cold aura.
Calder's Relics: The crystals left behind by the projection of the ancient ice spirit Calder.
Attributes: The legacy left by the ancient ice spirit Calder to the challenger. A random item is selected from talents, skills, and equipment.
"There is such a good thing!"
Lin Xiao was pleasantly surprised, but the next second he looked at the attribute introduction again, and something suddenly occurred to him, thinking that he had guessed why he won.
If I guessed correctly, the 36th level of the Tower of Babel did not require him to win, as long as he persevered to the end he would be considered a winner.
After all, the gatekeeper of this level is a great incarnation of a great being. The ancient ice soul Carde is a super great life form comparable to a great divine power in the depths of the Chaos Void Sea. His projection entered the Chaos Realm and won the final victory in the evolutionary journey at that time, and was also promoted to an existence comparable to a great divine power.
As we all know, once one is promoted to a great divine power or a great being of the same level, all related things in the past will be upgraded in dimension. The same is true for the projection left by Calder in the Tower of Babel.
In other words, Lin Xiao is now facing a projection of a great being. Normally, there is no possibility of defeating him, so the setting of the Tower of Babel is that he will pass the level if he can hold out until a draw.
Think about the battle just now, the power of ice froze everything, far exceeding the limits of normal ice laws. It was completely ice from another dimension, and it could also change the laws at will, instantly turning ice into fire, lightning, etc. This was obviously not something a normal third-level evolver could do.
