Bleed-build Divine Skill! Endless Blood!

This Legendary Assassin skill book is a 'Bleed-build' divine skill.

Although Qin Feng hadn't learned any Bleed skills before, there was one among the skills devoured by the Soul Devourer, so he just needed to retrieve it.

——

[Endless Blood (Legendary): Assassin skill book. The duration of the Bleed status you apply is increased by 200%, and the Bleed frequency is accelerated by 100%. Required Level: 30]

——

The 'Bleed' status is a continuous damage status, similar to 'Poison' or 'Burn'.

This Legendary skill can make the duration of the Bleed status three times longer!

And the Bleed frequency is accelerated by 100%… which means, what was originally one damage per second now becomes two.

This directly increases the total damage of the 'Bleed' status by six times!

For players who use Bleed-builds, this skill is absolutely divine.

Of course, if simply combined with Instant Extinction, this skill isn't too strong.

Because the core of the 'Bleed' playstyle is not just to deal damage with Bleed status, but also to benefit from the independent damage amplification multiplier under the 'Bleed' status.

This combination achieves the maximum damage effect.

If the Bleed damage is burst with Instant Extinction, without the damage amplification, the effect will be discounted.

Qin Feng currently has no Bleed skills or Bleed damage amplification.

But as long as he evolves the skill…

Even with just any Bleed skill, combined with Instant Extinction's damage, it would be extremely terrifying.

Qin Feng thought for a moment and evolved it once.

——

[You consumed 100 evolution points, 4382 points remaining.]

[Endless Blood (Legendary → Mythic): The duration of the Bleed status you apply is increased by 200% → 300%, and the Bleed frequency is accelerated by 100%. Required Level: 30]

[Mythic-grade New Effect: The damage of the Bleed status you apply is increased by 100%]

——

“…”

Qin Feng was a bit puzzled.

He originally wanted to evolve it to see if it could produce an independent damage amplification attribute like 'damage increase against bleeding enemies'.

But unexpectedly, while there was a damage increase, it only increased Bleed damage…

“But in that case, my Bleed damage is already maxed out…”

“Bleed frequency is doubled, Bleed damage is doubled, which is equivalent to four times the damage. Coupled with the tripled duration, the total damage is 16 times.”

“If I use Instant Extinction to detonate it, my instant burst will increase again!”

The Finishing Move, Instant Extinction, can instantly settle all continuous damage.

If a target has multiple continuous damage effects, they will all be settled together and added to the same damage instance.

As long as the damage is high enough, it can also achieve the effect of 'skipping blood-lock phases'.

So Qin Feng made a selection.

From the skills devoured by the Soul Devourer, he chose a skill that was originally Emerald-grade and had been evolved to Legendary-grade.

——

[Ruthless Cut (Emerald → Legendary): Assassin skill. Cuts the target at close range, adding 1500 → 6600 physical attack power. Upon hit, inflicts a Bleed effect (deals 40% of this skill's direct damage as Bleed damage per second, lasting 8 seconds). Cooldown: 18 → 8 (1.71) seconds. Required Level: 24]

[Legendary-grade New Effect: For each target you have inflicted with Bleed, your total damage increases by 10%, up to a maximum of 30%]

——

Among the skills devoured by Qin Feng's Soul Devourer, there were several that could apply Bleed status.

But he ultimately chose this one.

Simply because this skill's Legendary effect was an independent damage amplification multiplier.

Although it only increased single-target damage by 10%, up to a maximum of 30%, it was already much more useful than the Legendary effects of other skills.

With this effect, when Instant Extinction settles the target, the total damage will also increase by 10%.

After retrieving this skill, Qin Feng briefly calculated the damage.

If all Thousand Blade Strike hits the target, raising the Weak Point Attack multiplier to 5.0x, then this skill's base direct damage would be 14.381 million.

Its base Bleed damage would then be this damage multiplied by 320%, which is 46.019 million.

With Endless Blood, this Bleed-build divine skill, evolved to Mythic-grade, the total Bleed damage is 16 times the original, which is 736 million!

Of course, this damage does not account for the target's 'physical defense' and 'damage reduction'.

Qin Feng has the additional effect of Graceful Liberation, which allows him to ignore the target's defense.

But if the opponent is an Epic BOSS, according to the general template attributes of Epic BOSSes, damage reduction is between 90%-95%.

That means the actual damage is only one-tenth, or even one-twentieth, of the theoretical damage.

If the base damage is 736 million, the final actual damage would only be between 36 million and 74 million.

Of course, if Instant Extinction is used to detonate the continuous damage, this damage would double again.

“It's a pity that Bleed damage doesn't benefit from Graceful Liberation's active Throat Cut effect, otherwise it would be explosive.”

“However, even so, I only need to cast one more 'Ruthless Cut' skill before Instant Extinction settles, which can increase my final Instant Extinction's total damage by about 100 million.”

Easily increasing damage by a small target.

Originally, Qin Feng's Instant Extinction settlement damage against Epic BOSSes was generally between 150 million and 250 million.

Now it can reach 250 million to 400 million!

The exact amount depends on the target's damage reduction attribute.

“I'm still a little short of being able to instantly kill an Epic BOSS in one go.”

Qin Feng pondered.

Currently, he can almost instantly kill 60%-80% of most Epic BOSSes' health in one go.

Just a bit more damage amplification and he could casually kill them…

Even for a BOSS like the Epic Giant Octopus in front of him, which has three phases, Qin Feng could even pre-damage it, bringing its health down to about 70%, before unleashing a full combo to finish it off.

He could already skip all of the opponent's blood-lock phases!

“It's a pity that the Epic Golem in the center of Jianghai Ruins has a phase every 20% health, and its damage reduction is too high…”

“Otherwise, I could go kill it now.”

Qin Feng felt a bit regretful.

Next was the enjoyable time of pulling out the abyss cursed vase.

Qin Feng first spent 3200 evolution points to evolve the Abyss Slow Curse, which he had previously evolved once, from Legendary-grade to Ancient-Grade twice.

Indeed, like the Abyssal Wither Curse, its Ancient-Grade new effect was to remove the negative effect of 'getting closer and closer to the abyss'.

This allowed Qin Feng to continue touching the abyss cursed vase without worrying about being sucked into the abyss!

“Come on.”

Qin Feng took out the abyss cursed vase.

He reached in and pulled…

——

[You gaze into the abyss, touch the abyss…]

[You have obtained the skill 'Abyss Silence Curse (Epic-grade)'!]

——

Upon hearing the system prompt, Qin Feng cursed softly in disappointment.

This was an Epic-grade area-of-effect silence curse, and its effect was quite good, but the key was that it was considered a 'control' effect.

At this stage, Qin Feng's opponents were at least Epic-grade.

Except for a few BOSSes like the Great Calamity Underworld King, all others had the 'Invulnerability' affix, making it almost impossible to silence BOSSes.

Moreover, Qin Feng could kill a BOSS in two combos, so what was the point of silencing it?

If he really could silence them, the Abyssal Wither Curse could also disable the target's three highest-grade skills, so the effect wouldn't be much different.

“It seems I can only look forward to next time…”

“Hopefully, I can quickly get the 'Abyss Voodoo Doll' or Ghost Spirit's 'Abyssal Potential Curse'.”

For Qin Feng, even getting an Abyss Puppet Curse would be good.

He could die once in the game and then turn his corpse into a 'puppet'!

At that time, his leveling efficiency could directly double! Although Qin Feng's corpse would automatically explode upon Death, he could first devour it with the Soul Devourer and then release it later. Perfect!
