I Can Enhance My Talents Using Unlimited Skill Points Chapter 392

Published at 25th of October 2022 11:25:43 AM

After thinking about how to deal with the upcoming situation, Chen Yiming sent a thought to the system, asking it to slow down the speed at which it absorbed the essence energy. Then, he took a step forward and placed his hand on the foundation base at the source of the spring.

“Next, I'm going to use the foundation base to cultivate. It'll take about half a day to a day,” Chen Yiming turned around and instructed the leader of the dire wolves.

The dire wolves' leader said respectfully, “Mr. Chen, don't worry. I'll go clean up the surrounding area now. No evil spirits will disturb you.”

With that, all the metal hair on its body stood up as it walked into the darkness.

Chen Yiming nodded and watched as the leader of the dire wolves gradually disappeared into the darkness. The faint sound of the evil spirits being reduced to ashes could be heard from the maze-like passages.

He thought helplessly to himself, “Nowadays, I can't do as I please. Every move I make is often watched closely. If I absorb the essence energy accumulated in the foundation base over many years in a short time, the trouble caused might be greater than the benefits I can gain.”

“However, I don't need to be anxious. With the accumulated Skill Points, I can add a new talent at any time. I'll just play with it for a while. At the same time, I can see how highly the enemy thinks of me after defeating the first wave of attacks from the black tide.”

He could add a new space-manipulation talent, or upgrade the Undying Body talent and the Giant Talent to break through to the fusion realm. The former would give Chen Yiming a higher chance of survival by escaping.

Every time the black tide disrupted the invasion of the blue planet, not only would it buy more time for the humans' space plan, but the mystery of the black tide would also be revealed bit by bit.

When the black tide became less and less mysterious, not only would it no longer strike fear in the humans, but Chen Yiming might also start to launch his counterattack.

As the number of Skill Points increased on the system interface, more and more murderous aura was released. The evil spirits in the devil's den became even crazier.

Ghosts appeared one after another, and chaotic screams filled the entire cave.

Just as the two dark creatures were waiting for the demon god to be born and Chen Yiming was pretending to use the essence energy in the foundation base to cultivate, there were new changes in the dark forest world.

A mushroom large enough to block out the view of the sky fell to the ground and took root in the center of the dark forest world. Then, it started to emit a special smell.

This smell was not directly lethal, but wherever it passed, everyone, even the mutant creatures, fell into a deep sleep. When they slept, their faces revealed ferocious and painful expressions, as if they were constantly having nightmares.

Soon, the surveillance personnel arranged by the humans sent back the news of the abnormality in the dark forest world. The situation that had just calmed down became slightly tense.

“It's only been a few days. The first wave of attacks from the black tide has just been repelled. Is the second wave going to start so soon?”

There was another international video conference. The construction of the spaceships appeared to be progressing well every day. However, the dark forest world connected to the blue planet was experiencing changes again.

Their anxious feelings were brewing.

“The new movements of the black tide seem to be forcefully creating negative emotions. Could it be that they are preparing to let some terrifying existence descend?”

A president of a small country voiced his thoughts.

This was not just a guess. From the basic goal of the black tide's invasion of the world, they had deduced that this was a naked threat from the black tide.

Even if the higher-ups of the human race knew that it was an overt plan, they could not do anything about it. As long as the situation changed drastically, the majority of the population, who were ordinary people, would naturally start to feel fear towards the black tide again.

This was also the method that the black tide used to invade the world. As long as there was one wave of attacks that could not be withstood, the entire world would quickly collapse.

“How's the situation with the three city-level spaceships from the Daxia Kingdom after they arrived on Mars?”

Soon, someone asked the top leader of the Daxia Kingdom for the latest update.

When they did not receive an immediate reply, the atmosphere suddenly froze. The leaders' hearts skipped a beat, afraid that they were about to hear bad news.

“The relevant staff have yet to set foot on Mars for the time being, but the automated engineering equipment that has just been placed on the surface was destroyed by a surprise attack from the dark creatures.”

The top leader had also just received the news during the international video conference.

“Other than the blue planet, the other planets in the solar system are all lifeless. Where did the dark creatures on Mars come from?”

Another piece of bad news was announced, and the leaders attending the video conference were panicking.

“At the moment, there are no dark creatures that can threaten the spaceship. The main cannon made from the fragments of extraordinary weapons killed most of the dark creatures that appeared.”

The top leader of the Daxia Kingdom coughed and continued after things quietened down.

“That's good, that's good.”

In the video conference, the leaders finally calmed down.

Someone thought of something and asked, “What about the terrifying creatures that successfully broke through the encirclement? Did they encounter a similar situation to the human spaceships?”

The top leader of the Daxia Kingdom shook his head and said, “Two days ago, we could no longer detect the location of the terrifying creatures.”

The leaders nodded. Actually, no one had high hopes for this.

Although the terrifying creatures were huge, after leaving the planet and officially entering deep space, the terrifying creatures would shrink to the size of ants in comparison to the size of the solar system.

It was almost impossible for human technology to monitor the other party. Furthermore, the terrifying creatures had many secret techniques. How could they let humans find them?

Although the two sides seemed to have reached a cooperative relationship when they broke through the blockade, they already had an irreconcilable grudge beforehand.

Another day passed by.

The entire dark forest world gradually fell into a deep sleep. The smell from the mushroom that had descended from the sky was so pervasive that even the creatures living deep underground could not escape it.

The only good news for humans was that after this special smell passed through the space-travel passage, it would become ineffective. It could not cross over to this world and make the creatures on the blue planet fall asleep.

In front of the foundation base in the source of the spring,

Chen Yiming had already heard from the dire wolves' leader that it had gone to the surface to gather information.

“Mr. Chen, the special smell has not reached the devil's den. The devouring of the evil spirits is about to reach its conclusion, and we seem to have stepped into a trap.”

The dire wolves' leader sniffed at the air in front of it with a serious expression.

“Indeed. Perhaps after you and I entered the devil's den, the next wave of attacks from the black tide started. The devil's den is one battlefield, and the other battlefield involves the dark forest world and the humans on the blue planet,” Chen Yiming said calmly.

His expression was as calm as ever, as if everything was still under control. The dire wolves' leader also calmed down a lot when it saw this and suppressed the panic in its heart.

Little did he know that Chen Yiming was sighing in his heart. “The black tide is going all out this time. With this method of forcing the mutant creatures into deep sleep and creating nightmares, the mutant creatures' bodies can go without eating, but will there be no serious side effects from the mental damage? How many creatures can survive after this?”

According to the history of the black tide's invasion of the dark forest world, there were hundreds of years between the first and second invasion. Clearly, this was to let the dark forest world recover and continue the harvest later.

However, this time, they were clearly willing to sacrifice an entire world to completely occupy the blue planet.

Chen Yiming could already foresee that even if he broke out of the trap set in the devil's den, he would still have to face a greater challenge. Perhaps an existence that could really crush him would appear.

However, he still did not panic and believed in the power of the system.

With a powerful space-manipulation ability, he could just escape while bringing along all the humans.

Time quickly passed by.

It seemed that the enemy had even calculated the speed at which the essence energy of the foundation base could be absorbed normally. As the devil's den gradually became silent, it signaled that the legendary demon god was about to be born.

Chen Yiming glanced at the system interface. The number on it finally stopped at 1,000,000 Skill Points.

“This is enough to upgrade both the Undying Body talent and the Giant Talent by one level. The remaining 400,000 Skill Points is enough to upgrade the fourth talent to Level 3.”

He laughed again.

Immediately after, he gestured for the system to upgrade the second and third talents.

The panel emitted a golden light. The old data was replaced by new data.

Chen Yiming

Talent: Undying Body —€” Level 5, Giant — Level 4

Level: Fusion Realm

Physique: Intermediate Undying Giant Body

Sword Spirit

Talent: Swordsmanship — Level 6

Level: Fusion Realm

Physique: Intermediate Sword Body

Skill points: 403,786

At the same time, “Badump! Badump! Badump!”

The sound of Chen Yiming's heartbeat spread out in all directions. The air seemed to be filled with his blood, and every trace of his blood essence seemed to weigh more than 10,000 kilograms.

The aura emitted from a certain spot in the devil's den was most likely that of a new demon god. It actually could not withstand the weight of the blood essence and was suppressed.

“Gasp! How terrifying.”

The first to feel the pressure was the leader of the dire wolves. It said in shock, “His body is too strong. Are we really at the same level?”

“No wonder the giant on the warhorse couldn't defeat Mr. Chen, who was still in the inscription realm, even when it used its strongest single-target explosive power.”

“Not only are the dire wolves betting on this rare talent, but we are also betting on the unlimited possibilities in the future!”

At this moment, the leader of the dire wolves did not know how to describe its excitement. The trace of worry brought about by the mushroom falling from the sky had instantly dissipated.

Chen Yiming closed his eyes and carefully experienced the effects of upgrading his talents.

The invisible connections between the cells had disappeared, and in their place, a core appeared in each cell. Inside the core was a miniature Undying Mark.

Unlike the spiritual figure and the terrifying creatures, he had more than one Undying Mark. The number of Undying Marks corresponded to the number of cells in his body.

“There's actually a connection between these miniature Undying Marks. Only by destroying all of them at once and ensuring that none of them can be left behind can I really die. Otherwise, the destroyed Undying Marks will automatically recover along with the cells.”

Chen Yiming was shocked himself, but he wasn't done yet.

“Although it's a miniature Undying Mark, compared to the sword-shaped mark of the spiritual figure, its resistance to any aspect is far greater. Moreover, the Giant Talent seems to have maximized the toughness attribute of the core, which is equivalent to adding an additional layer of protection to the Undying Mark.”

“Is this the gap between physique and talent?”

“In other words, even a single cell is much harder to destroy than the spiritual figure. How difficult is it to destroy all the cells at once?”

After finishing his checks, Chen Yiming opened his eyes again. A beam of light broke through all the negative energy in front of him and shot out for a long distance before it stopped. It was as if the entire devil's den had suddenly been swallowed by something.

The leader of the dire wolves ignored the change in the devil's den and hurriedly congratulated him. “Congratulations, Mr. Chen, for breaking through to the fusion realm and obtaining the undying attribute.”

Chen Yiming glanced at the leader of the dire wolves. It was just blindly praising him.

At this moment, light footsteps sounded from the distance.

The dark, many-legged mutant insect controlled a spirit to appear in front of Chen Yiming.

A black fog surrounded the spirit's lower body. Its skin was dry and dark yellow, and there were black spots on it. Other than that, its dead eyes seemed to be able to suck people in.

“Is this the demon god?” Chen Yiming turned to ask the leader of the dire wolves.

“Uh… I think so. Although it seems to be unstable because it was just born, looking at the glowing cube in the demon god's body, it must be from the inner world,” the dire wolves' leader explained.

Chen Yiming nodded and sized up the glowing cube.

The leader of the dire wolves had told him bits and pieces of information about the higher levels of the fusion realm. It involved the use of power at a higher level than the power of nature.

There were no ordinary creatures who had truly broken through to the next level in the dark forest world. They could only leave behind some records from the demon gods.

The most obvious characteristic was the thing called the 'inner world'. The inner world was real, but also seemed to be illusory.

There were demon gods in the dark forest world, but they had never been able to figure out how the 'inner world' was created. They could only feel a power that was at a higher level than the power of nature.

The terrifying creatures used the term “power of the world” for the new power brought about by the establishment of the inner world.

Just as Chen Yiming was sizing it up calmly, the dark, many-legged mutant insect got a little angry. The fierce glint in its eyes landed on the dire wolves' leader. “Where's your arrogance? Where's your contempt? I didn't expect you to be reduced to a dog working for humans.”

Dogs were creatures that the dark, many-legged mutant insect had read about when it was learning about the humans on the blue planet. Their biological form was 30% similar to that of the dire wolves.

“Mr. Chen.”

The leader of the dire wolves pretended not to hear anything. It looked at Chen Yiming pleadingly and thought to itself, “Only a fool would argue with you. Even a dog has to choose its partner. Do you really think I made this choice so lightly?”

Back then, it had directly crushed the mutant insect which was at the same level. However, the other party had gone through the sacrificial ritual and turned into a dark creature.

Furthermore, the dark creatures that could be brought out of the dark forest world by the black tide were the ones with the highest completion rate for their bodies of darkness. Now that it had returned to the dark forest world, it must have become even stronger.

For example, although the dark werewolves had also completed the ritual and obtained the body of darkness, due to their low completion rate and lack of strength, it was very difficult for them to be invincible among those of the same level.

This invincibility did not mean that one was invincible at all times, but that one could crush creatures of the same level on average.

Seeing this, the dark, many-legged mutant insect could no longer suppress its anger. “It was the look of disregard you gave me when you defeated me that allowed me to survive the sacrificial ritual. Let's settle this score today.”

As soon as it finished speaking, a figure had already teleported to the side of the dark, many-legged mutant insect.

Chen Yiming raised his fist. For the first time, his main body used the strongest single-point explosive power from the fusion of essence, energy, and spirit. A terrifying fist shadow immediately attacked the dark, many-legged mutant insect.

“Crack, crack, crack…”

A tearing sound rang out in the air, and then the space was filled with cracks.

Before the fist landed, the body of the dark, many-legged mutant insect had already deformed under the terrifying pressure. It was so frightened that it stopped talking.

“Boom!”

In the eyes of the leader of the dire wolves, Chen Yiming's fist had collided with the demon god's outstretched hand. After that, there was a flash of white light, and nothing could be seen clearly.

An invisible shock wave instantly flattened the entire devil's den. Then, it was blocked by the mud-like wall for a moment. Next, the mud-like wall exploded, and one could vaguely hear a cry of pain.

“Mr. Chen's body is too… The void in the dark forest world has been torn apart.”

The dire wolves' leader was also shocked, but it was shocked by how strong Chen Yiming was. After all, the opponent was a demon god, an existence that had surpassed the fusion realm.

According to the records, there were no creatures at the fusion realm who dared to fight the demon gods head-on. They had gathered the power of the entire world to fight against the demon gods and finally seal them away.

The dust settled.

Chen Yiming and the demon god were still making contact. It was as if they were competing to see who was stronger.

The dark, many-legged mutant insect had a frightened expression on its face as it crawled to the back of the demon god. The body of the dark mud monster beside them also reappeared. At this moment, it could only rely on the demon god. It was even more dangerous to work alone.

“How did this happen?”

The dark many-legged mutant insect communicated with the dark mud monster through spiritual fluctuations.

“How would I know?”

the dark mud monster replied simply. What it saw almost stopped its thoughts.

There was a difference in strength between the power of nature and the power of the world. Just like the power of nature and internal force, high-level power could usually easily crush low-level power.

Of course, nothing in the world was absolute. For example, in the high-level cultivation civilizations in the universe, those geniuses who were born with special physiques had unbelievable combat strength.

However, this human did not come from a high-level cultivation civilization. Instead, he came from the blue planet, which was described as a cultivation desert.

“The speed at which the power of the world is destroying the human cells can't be compared to the speed at which they recover.”

The dark, many-legged mutant insect almost fainted as it watched Chen Yiming, who was fighting the demon god. It didn't dare to control the demon god to do anything else because it and the dark mud monster were counting on the demon god.

“Could it be that the bloodline of a high-level cultivation civilization somehow reached the blue planet and suddenly appeared in a certain generation?” the dark mud monster calmed down and said in surprise.

As a dark creature that had been brought away from its original world by the black tide, it had learned many secrets that ordinary civilizations could not understand after participating in many invasions.

These bloodline recovery geniuses without any background might be more valuable than the entire world. They were the favorite targets of the black tide when it invaded the world.

“If we can report this news, it should be a huge contribution, right?”

At this moment, the dark, many-legged mutant alien insect and the dark mud monster had the same thought. However, on second thought, the first thing they should consider was how to survive.

The information given by the supreme will on this human was too different from the real thing. It was so different that it could easily threaten their lives.
