Alone and Infinite

As for using silver coins to upgrade the Eight-Nine Arcane Technique, that would be too extravagant.

Now each world can gain a year and two months of time acceleration in the Time Chamber, which is much more cost-effective than using Time Coins.

If I'm not mistaken, upgrading the Skill's Limit to the next level will require silver coins, so it's better to save them for the Skill's Limit.

After leaving the guild hall, Li Xia found Aowu and Black Charcoal on the trading street.

Upon meeting, Aowu cheerfully exclaimed:

"I found a bargain. Someone was selling basic water magic. I guess he only looked at the word 'basic' and it was a blue skill."

They bid 16,000, and I bought it immediately!

"That was indeed a very profitable deal."

Li Xia nodded in agreement. That person was probably a lone wolf, rarely communicating with others, or perhaps there weren't many people who understood the value of basic skills.

The basic skills are very simple, and their power and bonuses are minimal.

But its brilliance lies in the word "basic." As basic skills are improved, they can directly affect subsequent skills of the same type.

For example, after learning basic water magic, learning advanced water magic in the future will not only reduce the difficulty of casting and the consumption of energy, but also increase its power.

It's a foundational skill, and it's very important.

Just like Li Xia's "The Ultimate Skill," it is actually a foundational skill that elevates his melee combat to a level that other apostles have not reached.

Every move he makes, no matter how casual, is not to be underestimated.

Just as I was about to say a few more words to Aowu, a message suddenly popped up on my communicator.

[Madaro: Hurry up, it's done!]

In Madaro's courtyard, Li Xia, along with Aowu and Heitan, sat quietly at the table waiting, with Akainu still following closely at their feet.

They arrived as soon as they received the news, so quickly that Madao was still digesting the joy of advancing to the fourth rank.

"squeak"

The wooden door was pushed open, and Madaou walked out with his hands behind his back, looking radiant.

The old face bore an undisguised smile:

"Xia, you've come."

"Hmm, fourth tier?"

"Level four!"

Madaro nodded with a sigh, and in a daze, he seemed to recall that after he was assassinated, he came to the hall and thought that with his intelligence, he could turn the hall into an amusement park.

In the end, they had no choice but to become employees to survive.

It is precisely because of the workers that they have entered the fourth level, which many apostles have dreamed of.

"After I give you this armor, I will be leaving for the mid-level area."

Madaro pointed to the gate in the distance, a gate that would only open when an apostle advanced to the fourth rank.

The further you go in, the closer you get to that towering, earth-shattering pagoda.

Stepping into the tower is the pursuit of every apostle, representing supreme power and authority, and the undisputed top powerhouse in the void.

"Fourth tier—how does it feel?"

After a moment of silence, Li Xia asked with some curiosity.

"Haha, I know what you want to ask—"

Madao laughed again, the wrinkles on his face smoothing out. The old man shrugged:

"Unfortunately, workers are different from apostles; a fourth-order worker is just a fourth-order worker."

However, similar to the rumors you've heard, I can confirm that the fourth tier is indeed the beginning of a qualitative change.

The old man raised his chin and pointed to the intermediate level area again:

"With your strength and luck, it probably won't be long before we can reunite at the fourth tier."

Be careful, don't die!

What sounds like a curse is, in the hall, a perfectly ordinary blessing.

Li Xia nodded and accepted the blessings without hesitation.

"Come on, I know you can't wait!"

Madaro stretched out his hands, his face filled with an extremely excited and fanatical expression:

"Look at my most amazing work to date!"

[Executioner, you have obtained the Divine Enemy - Lava Dragon Scale Armor (Orange - Ultimate)!]

Chapter 338 Ready to Depart, New World!

The deep, intense orange light seemed to possess a strange, magical power.

It firmly attracted everyone's attention.

"This is a miracle, a third-tier miracle, an orange-grade, ultimate armor."

Madao stroked the object in his hand. It didn't look very big, only about the size of his palm, and it was completely clear and transparent.

It is not a diamond, but it has a more magnificent fire than a diamond. Even the most exquisite cutting techniques cannot achieve such a magnificent shape. It is breathtakingly beautiful.

I don't know if there's ever been an orange-level, ultimate equipment at Tier 3.

But this armor is the only orange-tier, top-tier piece of equipment crafted at Tier 3!

Madao's face was filled with barely suppressed excitement and fervor; perhaps only someone as focused as him could recover so quickly after a defeat.

It shines in another field.

"When I forged it, the Temple of Light had already given me a hint, and this is the first one!"

The hall itself even offered a reward.

Listening to Madao's explanation, Li Xia and the two little ones realized that the Temple of Light had actually given him a forging equipment.

The fact that it is of the same grade as the Divine Enemy Dragon Scale Armor is enough to show the Hall of Light's delight at Madaro forging such a high-quality piece of equipment.

"You're really awesome, sir!"

Awoo sighed and said:

"Orange Star God Core, light orange armor, second-tier light orange Dragon Strike General Core, purple Molten Mountain Armor."

If you put these things together, you can forge an orange-tier top-tier equipment.

No doubt about it, I'm impressed!

Madaro's face suddenly fell, and he said in a low voice:

"I even used my treasured materials. I plan to use this armor to advance my level. I've really gone all out."

Then he waved his hand:

"Why bring this up? As long as the result is a happy one, that's all that matters. Without the top-quality materials you provided, I couldn't have obtained this armor no matter how much stock I had."

Let's check if the attributes are satisfactory first. I'm not a combat apostle, so I don't really understand whether these attributes are suitable or not.

Li Xia nodded. That's the good thing about insightful people; they can tell the difference. If Aowu hadn't asked, Madao probably wouldn't have mentioned that he had also destroyed a lot of rare materials.

[Divine Enemy - Lava Dragon Scale Armor]

[Grade: Orange - Ultimate (Tier 3)]

【Origin: Hall of Light】

[Durability: 500/500]

[Defense Tier: 11 (Tier 3)]

[Equipment Requirements: Constitution 30, Physical Strength 5]

1. Armor of Resistance: The armor is enveloped by a repulsive field, which weakens any incoming physical attacks. Attacks with a mass and speed below a certain level will be deflected directly.

2. Body Embedding: After equipping, the core is hidden within the body and bound to the soul of the equipment, absorbing a fixed 5% of the wearer's maximum health and 5% of their maximum mana.

3. Dragon Blood: When equipped, it slowly increases Strength, Dexterity, and Physique, with a maximum bonus of 5 points. The bonus decreases slowly when the equipment is removed (an exhilarating bonus, ignoring tier).

4. Lava Mountain: Immune to temperatures below 2500 degrees Celsius, has slight control over flames, and increases resistance to fire-based energy damage by 50%.

5. Durable: A tough outer layer will reflect the force of direct physical attacks, up to a maximum of 30%.

6. Divine Enemy: Wearing this armor, one can face the majesty of the gods directly. Pouring divine blood onto the armor will promote its evolution.

[Synopsis: Only those who have defeated a god are qualified to wear this armor known as the 'Enemy of the Gods']

Li Xia held the gemstone, his eyes fixed intently on the panel.

Firstly, the basic defense tier is 11, which is 1 point higher than before.

This is not surprising, since the armor itself only has a defense tier of 10, and the slight increase is probably due to Madaro's treasured materials.

A defense level of 11 is already ridiculously high; even Li Xia himself can't break through his own defense now.

No, it should be said that at the third tier, apart from the Apostles' ultimate moves or the expensive armor-piercing rounds.

Basically, nothing can break through the defense of this armor!

But the armor's attributes are even stronger.

Of the six attributes, excluding the one attribute that doesn't count as a bonus, the other five are all powerful bonuses.

Whether it's the repulsive field, dragon blood, lava mountain, or even the sturdiness, each of these alone is enough to elevate an ordinary suit of armor to the level of a minor top-tier item.

This armor has a total of five such attributes!

Especially the last entry, 'Divine Enemy,' which suggests that irrigating the armor with divine blood can even help it evolve!

"I think you're fairly satisfied?"

With his hands behind his back, Mada looked at Li Xia's barely concealed surprise and asked with a smile as well.

"No doubt about it, it's very strong!"

Li Xia took a deep breath and patted the magnificent gemstone against his chest.

Although it was a physical object, the moment it touched the skin, the entire gem seemed illusory, disappearing into the chest without any hesitation.

"Boom!"

Li Xia's heart skipped a beat, and she felt as if a hot piece of coal had been placed in her chest.

A surge of power erupted from the gemstone and quickly filled his entire body.

Under the astonished gaze of Madao Aowu Heitan, Li Xia suddenly straightened his body and clenched his fists tightly.

He roared silently toward the sky, and irregular stones suddenly appeared out of thin air around his body.

Aowu and Heitan immediately thought of the scene of fighting the Star God's incarnation in Tianbi Mountain.

Hull did the same, creating many stones out of thin air.

But what they didn't expect was yet to come: the stones suddenly burst into flames, and then turned into glowing red-hot charcoal.

They rushed towards Li Xia with incredibly scorching heat.

These stones were melted by the high temperature while still in mid-air, turning into a flowing, dark red lava.

The lava enveloped Li Xia's body, rapidly undergoing plastic cooling.

A large amount of water vapor and blue smoke rose from the rapidly cooling lava, completely obscuring Li Xia's figure.

"Kakaka-"

The sounds of the armor moving came from the blue smoke and water vapor, and Awoo couldn't help but blow out a gust of wind.

Li Xia was suddenly covered in a suit of armor.

The armor looks like rock, yet it has a jade-like crystalline smoothness.
