Lin Feng's attack was so fierce that Hongjun had not expected it at all.
In his eyes.
He was just an outsider.
Facing a powerful expert like himself.
Shouldn't he be trembling with fear?
Or at least cautiously probing and understanding the situation before making a move?
Why was it that right from the start.
He was going all out?
As if he wasn't afraid of failure at all?
What he didn't know.
While a mythical-level Great Dao Saint was indeed powerful.
Lin Feng had already dealt with many such beings in the creature zone of the Creation Tower.
Even though those bosses were somewhat weaker than Hongjun.
Or less well-rounded.
To Lin Feng, there was no qualitative difference.
It was just a matter of needing two or three swords before, and now needing five or six swords.
Moreover.
His previous death was not due to a lack of strength.
But because at that moment, he had let go of many defensive properties.
This was done to test the effect of a certain divine ability.
[Born from Death]!
The effect of this Great Dao divine ability was that upon activation, death would inevitably lead to resurrection.
And after resurrection, one could accumulate one point of killing intent.
Increasing the final damage of any single attack by 100%.
At most, it could accumulate up to 10 points of killing intent.
That would be an additional 1000% damage.
And his recent death had already accumulated one point of killing intent.
Lin Feng had been somewhat expectant.
Judging by Hongjun's attack just now, it should be quite simple for him to accumulate full killing intent by dying ten times consecutively.
At that time.
He could try out the burst effect of this divine ability.
But he never expected.
That after he had only resurrected once.
Hongjun would be so scared that he put away his immensely powerful axe.
And instead used his fists to fight him.
But this attack was so weak and ineffective that Lin Feng was quite disappointed.
He immediately lost the urge to practice his divine ability.
He directly unleashed the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation and clashed head-on with the opponent.
And with just one strike.
The damage from the myriad sword qi instantly reduced Hongjun's health by nearly a tenth.
It also gave Lin Feng a sense of confidence.
As expected of the legendary mastermind ancestor.
He had some substance!
However, not much…
Lin Feng silently added in his mind.
With such defense and health, if he didn't have any heaven-defying means, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand a few of my strikes.
Zheng!
Sword qi gathered again and shot towards Hongjun.
Weng!
Just as Lin Feng thought he could hit the opponent smoothly again.
A golden barrier suddenly appeared outside Hongjun's body.
It forcefully blocked Lin Feng's seemingly unavoidable attack.
"Hongjun's avatar has activated the Great Dao divine ability [Origin Protection], and is in an invincible state. Your attack cannot damage it."
Lin Feng's interest was immediately piqued.
This is interesting!
He was not surprised by such a divine ability but instead felt joy.
He even took a step forward.
His left hand flickered with light.
While his right hand continued to wield the Immortal Slaying Sword.
Seeing Lin Feng's actions, Hongjun also chuckled.
In an invincible state, and you still want to attack.
Do you really think I'm a pushover?
As Lin Feng's sword qi struck again.
Hongjun's eyes flashed with brilliance.
In his invincible state, he was not passively taking hits.
Instead, he sounded the charge for an offensive.
Heavenly Dao divine ability, Supreme Rebound!
He not only wanted to make Lin Feng's attack futile but also to make Lin Feng suffer the consequences through rebound!
Just as faint crimson light surrounded him and the effect of Supreme Rebound was activated.
Shua!
Lin Feng's sword qi had already arrived.
Under Hongjun's confident and composed gaze.
He saw the sword qi suddenly become even sharper.
And its aura even more terrifying.
Has its power been temporarily increased?
Hongjun guessed.
But his face remained fearless.
No matter how high your attack, any attack within the scope of the Great Dao cannot break my invincible state.
-32,200 Zili! (Base Damage)
-12 Rang! (True Damage)
-18 Zili 2400 Gai 3500 Jing 2000 Zhao 4200 Yi 3600 Wan 5000! ([Annihilation] Additional Damage)
Several exaggerated damage numbers slowly floated up.
Hongjun looked on in disbelief as the Immortal Slaying Sword broke free from Lin Feng's control, pierced through his Origin Protection.
And passed through his body.
Without any obstruction.
He felt an extreme pain.
This shocked Hongjun immensely.
What…
What kind of attack was this?
I am practically a Heavenly Dao incarnation. *Read here*
And I was actually injured by an outsider?
He found it utterly absurd.
However.
The fact remained.
With blood flowing, his massive body suffered immense trauma.
He was completely unable to react to such an irrational attack.
Moreover.
What made him most apprehensive was.
This damage was extremely insidious.
As he was struck, while he was shocked by the opponent's damage.
There was also a hint of pleasure in his heart.
With the effect of Supreme Rebound, the greater your damage, the deeper your own injury!
But what he didn't expect was.
After being struck, this divine ability did not activate at all, and did not inflict any corresponding rebound damage on Lin Feng.
At this point.
He was on the verge of despair.
The only reason he wasn't completely despairing was his hope for resurrection.
After all.
As the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, the most supreme existence in this world.
He had lived for too long.
And accumulated enough depth.
He possessed no less than ten kinds of resurrection-related effects.
Among them.
There were even Great Dao divine abilities.
However.
When he called out with his mind, yearning for resurrection.
An unimaginable event occurred!
Both active and passive divine abilities and laws could not take effect.
His body became extremely rigid, and his mind went blank.
With such extreme output, there was even an effect to counter resurrection.
This attack completely exceeded the control of the Heavenly Dao!
He was utterly despairing.
His body began to split apart piece by piece.
Transforming into streaks of flowing light, it began to gradually dissipate.
Before death, his eyes were still fixed on Lin Feng.
As if to engrave the murderer who killed him firmly in his memory.
Lin Feng completely ignored his fierce gaze.
Victory and defeat are determined by strength. What is the use of being fierce now?
The deceased Hongjun would never know.
It was precisely this divine ability, which he thought was invincible, that completely sealed his doom.
It turned out.
The light that flickered in Lin Feng's left hand before he unleashed his sword strike was not to enhance the power of the subsequent attack.
But to activate an extremely rare divine ability.
This divine ability had only one effect.
That was to increase the priority of one's own actions.
Whether it was divine abilities, laws, or immortal artifacts and divine weapons.
Their priority could be forcefully raised by one level after the activation of this divine ability.
Although.
After Lin Feng's amplification, the duration still only lasted for 10 seconds.
It was still enough for him to activate the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation to the level of a Chaos Spiritual Treasure and comprehend a new characteristic.
Barrier Break!
This characteristic was very interesting.
When facing a target in a normal state, it could only exert 50% of its original damage effect.
Conversely, when the opponent was in a defensive state, it could produce miraculous effects.
The base damage could be greatly increased.
And the true damage could even be amplified by 10 times.
For ordinary players, this would only be an occasional trick.
After all, means of true damage were limited.
But for Lin Feng, whose primary output relied on true damage, this was a great weapon.
Of course.
This divine ability was not invincible.
After all, many defensive moves.
Especially invincible effects, had very high priority.
Only by having an advantage in priority could the corresponding effect be achieved.
Especially for someone like Hongjun, who Lin Feng guessed was almost the most supreme existence in the game.
He was the kind of person who would wield Great Dao divine abilities, or Heavenly Creation Supreme Treasures, or Chaos Spiritual Treasures at any moment.
Therefore, he first increased the priority, allowing [Barrier Break]'s priority to directly surpass that of Great Dao divine abilities.
And thus take effect.
The final result was astonishingly powerful, earth-shattering, and god-terrifying.
Hongjun's avatar, a mythical-level Great Dao Saint who had recovered to full health, was instantly killed by Lin Feng's sword!
Lin Feng picked up the treasure chest, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He had finally dealt with this guy.
As expected of the most powerful opponent he had encountered since entering the game.
It had taken him dozens of days.
However.
He was also filled with anticipation.
Now that this Hongjun avatar was dealt with, he should be able to leave this area and log off normally.
But when he saw the game prompts scrolling on the screen, a chill ran down his spine.
