Endless Collapse · World Shelter!

Qin Feng shook his head, not thinking too much about it.

He first looked at the Ancient-Grade skill book he had just synthesized:

——

[Hidden Murderous Intent (Ancient-Grade): Assassin skill. You can set any Finishing Move as a 'Trigger Skill'. Once set, when your Normal Attack hits, there is a 17% chance to automatically trigger that Finishing Move. This Finishing Move will not consume Combo Points, but its damage is reduced by 50%!]

——

A Normal Attack can have a 17% chance to trigger a Finishing Move!

Without a doubt, this is a skill suitable for an Assassin using a Normal Attack and attack speed build.

Although Qin Feng did not specifically pursue an attack speed build, due to his Soul Devourer Bloodline and ultra-high Agility attribute, his attack speed had already reached 55.88 attacks per second!

If stacked with the probability of 'Hidden Murderous Intent', he could trigger a Finishing Move an average of 9.5 times per second!

"Perfect, I haven't used Instant Extinction recently because I've been stacking Combo Points."

"I can set Instant Extinction as the Trigger Skill!"

Even if the damage is reduced by 50%, the continuous damage caused by the explosion of Instant Extinction does not belong to the damage of Instant Extinction itself, so it won't be reduced!

Due to the advanced effect of Instant Extinction, if Qin Feng were to actively use Instant Extinction, it would directly consume all his Combo Points and convert them into a damage bonus…

Qin Feng took a look.

He now frequently applies Void Lock to monsters, stacking Combo Points without a limit, and currently, his Combo Points have already reached 123,000.

Qin Feng didn't even know how much damage he could burst out if he consumed all these Combo Points for an Instant Extinction burst.

In short, actively using Instant Extinction is unlikely.

"Stacking these Combo Points is actually quite addictive."

After arriving in the Netherblue Civilization, Qin Feng only used 'Instant Extinction' when he first arrived and dealt with the Sirius Star Guild.

Since then, whether it was killing the Ancient-Grade Bloodline BOSS Death Eye or the World Spine, he hadn't used this skill, so his Combo Points had been stacking up.

For Qin Feng, these BOSSes didn't need to have continuous damage exploded on them; just one hit from the Annihilation Blade, or even one hit from the Demonic Shadow Blade, could kill them instantly.

"Now I don't have to hold back."

"I can use Instant Extinction as a Trigger Skill and trigger it through Normal Attacks, so it won't consume any Combo Points."

Qin Feng was quite satisfied.

Although Instant Extinction is not the only skill that can detonate continuous damage, it can increase the detonated continuous damage by 150%, which is something other skills that detonate continuous damage do not possess.

Thus…

Qin Feng directly consumed 210,000 Evolution Points to evolve this skill to the Old Days Grade!

——

[Hidden Murderous Intent (Ancient-Grade → Immortal-grade → Old Days · 0 Year): Assassin skill. You can set any Finishing Move as a 'Trigger Skill'. Once set, when your Normal Attack hits, there is a 17% → 21% → 28% chance to automatically trigger that Finishing Move. This Finishing Move will not consume Combo Points, but its damage is reduced by 50%!]

[Immortal-grade New Effect: If a Normal Attack does not trigger the Finishing Move, the trigger rate increases by 10%, stacking infinitely up to 100%. Resets after triggering.]

[Old Days Grade New Effect: The damage of the triggered Finishing Move will not be reduced!]

——

Evolving it twice, the effect was explosive!

Not only would the damage of the triggered Finishing Move not be reduced, but the trigger rate was also significantly enhanced!

Originally, probability was hard to define, for example, in some well-known games from the past… even 99% could fail continuously.

But now, every time it doesn't trigger, the trigger rate increases by 10%!

As long as it doesn't trigger for seven attacks, the next trigger probability can reach 98%!

Even if it doesn't trigger at 98%, the next time the trigger rate can reach 100%!

"This allows me to deal damage with just Normal Attacks!"

Qin Feng was a bit stunned.

If he set 'Annihilation Blade' as the Trigger Skill, then he could trigger the Annihilation Blade a dozen or twenty times per second with Normal Attacks, without any consumption!

This was much faster and more frequent than Qin Feng releasing Annihilation Blade directly!

In short.

After this 'Hidden Murderous Intent' skill evolved to the Old Days Grade, Qin Feng's single skill damage didn't increase much.

But in terms of overall DPS, it increased at least three to five times!

And besides this skill book, there was another piece of equipment that was the main event, which was the Immortal-grade divinity armament that would replace 'Death Smokescreen':

——

[Endless Collapse · World Shelter (divinity armament)]

[Grade: Immortal-grade]

[Assassin leg armor. Physical Defense +13155, All Elemental Resistance +13155, HP Boost +648%, Damage Reduction +66.6%, Fixed Defense +33%, Evasion Rate +78%, Negative Effect Duration -88%, Required Level 64.]

[Special: Upper Threshold +288, and additionally reduces the accumulation speed of the Superior Affix gauge by 75%.]

[Unique Effect: Endless Collapse! After activation, reduces 33% of all current Superior gauges every second, lasting 60 seconds (1345.2 seconds = 22.42 minutes), fixed cooldown of 1 hour.]

[Divinity: 324 / 324 (1 point of Divinity replenished every 22 years of Lifespan)]

[Rule Effect: Echo of the Shelter! Consumes 324 points of Divinity to enter the Echo state, lasting 60 seconds (1345.2 seconds = 22.42 minutes). Every time you are attacked, you will launch 'Agility / 600' Normal Attacks against the attacker.]

——

This Immortal-grade leg armor had relatively standard base attributes.

Because the required level was 64, the numerical values of the base attributes were very high.

From this, it can be seen that the gap between level 50 and level 60 is still quite large.

If it were a 50-level leg armor of the same grade, the values for Physical Defense and All Elemental Resistance would only be around 7000-8000.

Like the 45-level 'Eternal Mountains · World Shadow Armor', the numerical range for the chest plate and leg armor is similar, but that armor only added 5960 points of Physical Defense and All Elemental Resistance, which shows the gap.

Originally, none of the equipment on Qin Feng's body had the 'HP Boost' attribute, which caused his HP to have a large gap compared to the top powerhouses of the Netherblue Civilization.

But Qin Feng didn't care; anyway, his defense, resistance, and damage reduction were high enough that he wouldn't die even if he stood there and let people hit him.

This new leg armor added 648% HP, which could indeed make Qin Feng's HP skyrocket several times over, but other than allowing Qin Feng to have higher damage bonuses when activating 'Blood Cry', it didn't have any practical effect…

Of course.

Because this equipment's level is high, its values are high. The 648% HP boost can already allow Qin Feng to increase his total damage by 51.76% when activating the 'Blood Cry' Talent!

"This Rule Effect is perfect for use with 'Hidden Murderous Intent'."

"Once the Rule Effect 'Echo of the Shelter' is activated, they will be counterattacked about a hundred times for hitting me once, and they will suffer dozens of my Finishing Moves in total!"

Just thinking about this effect is exhilarating!

"It's a pity that this equipment's level is too high; I can't wear it yet."

"I can go back and find the Great Xia Government NPC to lower its level."

Now, Qin Feng wasn't worried that lowering the equipment level would cause the equipment's values to decrease.

Because of the inverted pyramid in Jinling, once his level increases, he can raise the equipment's level back up at any time…

…

Just as Qin Feng was planning to return to Blue Star.

Land of Order, Undead Temple.

The Deputy Hall Master 'Death Soul Song' had learned to be smart this time!

After he last summoned the remains of the 'World Spine · Mountain' to the temple and was scolded by the Hall Master, Death Soul Song left the Undead Temple headquarters and went to a palace of his own on the surface of the Land of Order.

Thus…

When he summoned 'Undead Kin' to his side again, as expected, broken blades, spears, swords, and halberds fell from the sky, burying him completely and piling up into a small hill!

"This is… the third World Spine?"

"This is impossible!"

"According to the timing, this World Spine should have just respawned; there wasn't even time for strategies or probing, yet it was actually killed?"

"And it was killed twice in such a short time?!"

Death Soul Song finally confirmed it one hundred percent…

The Netherblue Civilization had undergone a change he couldn't even imagine!

This made him immediately make up his mind. As he waved his hand, flying out from the small hill piled up with countless metal fragments, he immediately opened his friend list and notified two players on his friend list…

The current Netherblue Civilization is in the process of Ascension.

Although players cannot leave, it does not mean that no one can go back!

As long as they are players belonging to the Netherblue Civilization who have not used the heart of order yet, they can still return to the Netherblue Civilization from the Land of Order now, but they won't be able to leave after returning, unless they use special means like 'Undead Affinity Talisman'…

Death Soul Song had been considering this move before, and now he couldn't wait.

He decided to dispatch two Netherblue Civilization players who had not used the heart of order yet, carrying more 'Undead Affinity Talisman' to return to the Netherblue Civilization and see what was going on!
