With a starting talent that's practically top-tier, even an old man can go against the heavens!

[You have obtained the golden equipment [Soul Crown]!]

[You have obtained the golden equipment [Nightmare Scythe]!]

[You have obtained the skill book [Possession of Ten Thousand Souls]!]

[You have obtained the golden item [Soul Collection Orb]!]

[You have obtained a special item, the Mysterious Fragment!]

[You have obtained the quest item [Invasion Plan Notes]!]

After picking up the dropped items, Chen Beixuan attempted to use Soul Binding, but the panel indicated that Soul Binding had failed.

The soul of the Lord of Darkness has escaped.

But he had already achieved his goal and gained a lot from the kills, so he didn't dwell on it too much.

"Let me see what treasures you have..."

He glanced at the series of prompts he had just received and was immediately overjoyed.

"+10000 mana! ...My wish came true, haha!"

Not only did the wish come true, but the Divine Thief was also triggered at the same time—double happiness!

[True Ghostly Appearance]: The body can become ethereal, physical damage evasion probability +99%, movement speed +400%.

Chen Beixuan activated the ethereal transformation, tried it out, and nodded in satisfaction.

This state is somewhat similar to the skeleton ghosts we encountered before. If used in conjunction with the black mist shroud, it will be even more effective at scaring people.

The key point is that he is constantly surrounded by lightning effects.

Enveloped in black mist, it looked like a ghostly blue figure flying around, enough to scare someone to death in the middle of the night.

Now not only can the deer float, but he can float too.

After studying it for a while.

He reluctantly closed the blur effect and opened a new entry.

------

[Flame Enhancement]: Gold Quality

Effect description: Ballistic fire skills will leave flames in place. Releasing a fire skill again will absorb the flames and gain enhancement. Each flame increases skill damage by 10% and skill range by 10%, up to a maximum of 500%.

Note: The number of flames is related to the frequency of skill damage. For example, only one fireball can remain in the skill.

------

Seeing the results, Chen Beixuan's eyes lit up.

This term is a perfect match for fire rain meteors!

A level 1 Fire Rain Meteor can drop 30 meteors, which is 30 flames!

300% damage and area-of-effect bonus!

Earth Explosion Star is also considered a half-fire skill, so it will probably receive a buff, further increasing its damage!

"Imbue it with a rain of fire and meteors!"

A flash of golden light, and the bestowal was complete.

The buff on the Dark Lord served as a warning to him.

That means balancing damage output. We can't develop all skills in the direction of true damage; we need to create a few skills with other types of damage to make up for the shortcomings.

With that thought in mind, he took out a skill fusion stone and made up his mind.

Fire Rain Meteor + Earth Dragon Break, fused together!

[Ding! Fusion successful! You have learned a new skill: [Fire Lava Meteor]!]

------

【Lava Meteor】★

Description: Summons 50 lava meteors to attack a designated 200-meter range. Each meteor explodes upon landing, dealing 6300% area fire damage and leaving behind a lava ground that deals 6300% fire damage every 0.5 seconds. The lava lasts for 1 hour. Cooldown: 3 minutes. Mana cost: 800.

Entry: [Lava Floor] [Flame Enhancement]

Calculation method: (Base 1 star 800% + 600%) x 4.5.

------

"50 pieces, just right."

Chen Beixuan was very satisfied and would use the Divine Hand to upgrade it to an exclusive skill tomorrow.

There are currently 9 slots for the 9-star God's Hand, and 4 are still available, so there are some spare slots.

He closed the skill panel and began to check his equipment.

------

【Soul Crown】: Level 170 Gold Artifact (Hat)

Effect 1: Health +640000

Effect 2: Intelligence +5600

Effect 3: Intelligence attribute +50%

Effect 4: [Light Speed ​​Casting] Casting speed +300%.

Effect 5: Dark skills will have the [Dazed] effect, causing the opponent to be in a dazed and unable to fight back for 3 seconds, affected by tenacity.

------

[Nightmare Scythe]: Level 170 Gold Artifact (Weapon)

Effect 1: Magic Attack +98000

Effect 2: Intelligence +8700

Effect 3: Melee damage is increased by an additional 300%.

Effect 4: Attacks inflict [Soul Steal], dealing true damage equal to 1% of the target's maximum health each time.

Effect 5: Attacks inflict [Soul Loss], reducing the target's maximum mana by 1% each time, lasting until the end of the battle.

------

"Assassin-type equipment can also be worn by magic warriors, but the required level is too high..."

He is very satisfied with the current sustained damage system and has no plans to change it for the time being.

Chen Beixuan put away the equipment and moved on to the next item.

------

【Possessed by a Thousand Souls】★

Description: Absorbs the surrounding free-floating soul energy into oneself, all attributes +10% for 5 minutes, 10-minute cooldown, 1000 mana cost.

------

The BOSS's status skills are very powerful.

However, once it becomes a skill book, a 1-star 10% boost seems a bit meager, but it's an all-attribute boost, so I understand.

Choose to learn directly.

[Ding! You have learned a new skill: [Possession of a Thousand Souls]!]

Looking at the skill descriptions, Chen Beixuan suddenly thought of a question.

Where does the soul energy come from when you absorb free soul energy into your body?

Recalling the scene of the surrounding mist gathering when the Lord of Darkness released his power, he couldn't help but shudder.

Could it be a fog...?

Damn, that's terrifying to think about...

He quickly cut off his thoughts, but he still felt a chill in the air.

Let's stick to the old method and sing a song!

"Forward, forward, forward~ Our ranks march towards the sun..."

"..."

After singing an uplifting song, Chen Beixuan immediately felt his whole body filled with righteous energy.

Hmph, all you demons and monsters, get out of here!

After calming himself down, he took out a dark blue, eye-sized gem.

------

[Soul Collection Orb]: Golden Item

Description: It can automatically absorb and store nearby souls. It can be used in conjunction with soul-related skills. It takes effect as soon as it is carried with you. When using it, you can control the flow of souls by thought. The current quantity is (0/10).

------

The effect is concise and to the point; there's not much to say about it.

It doesn't seem to be of any use right now, so I'll just throw it in my bag and let it gather dust.

My gaze fell on the last two items.

------

[Mysterious Compass Fragment]: Seven-Colored Brilliant Level

Description: Fragments containing extraordinary power, origin and function unknown...

------

[Invasion Plan Notes]: Mission Items

Description: This document contains some details of the Human Realm Invasion Project. Please open it for more information.

------

"It's that mysterious compass fragment again..."

Chen Beixuan was slightly taken aback.

I already have 3 pieces, and I'm still 3 pieces away from collecting enough to summon Shenron. It seems like there's hope!

He never deliberately sought them out; they all came to him on their own.

Lucky Star is simply amazing!

After a brief moment of reflection, he quickly scanned through his notes.

The more you read, the more alarming it becomes, and some of your doubts are also resolved.

For example, the origin of the fog.

The text above describes how the God of Darkness, in order to absorb a large number of souls and become a god, single-handedly slaughtered all the original inhabitants of the Dark World and transformed them into their current form.

The mist is free-floating soul energy, which can be understood as the residue after the god of darkness absorbed it.

There is also the Dark Clan, who are actually people who collect souls from the human world, tamper with their memories, and then reshape their physical bodies.

Most of them have been implanted with a hatred of the human world.

Trike was one of the test subjects back then.

However, because his memories were not completely cleared, Trick is caught in a contradiction between being fascinated by life in the human world and being hostile to it.

Upon seeing this, a task message suddenly popped up on the panel!
