Chapter 94: Aphid Emperor
Chapter 94: Aphid Emperor
But as things stand, this grand ceremony has failed.
The number of symbols required is as high as 777, which is a terrifying number.
Jiang He made a quick calculation and realized how arduous the workload was. The difficulty of deducing the alchemical secret recipe was astonishing.
So the Aphid Emperor adopted the "covering method".
Use far more than 777 materials, and rely on sheer quantity to cover what is needed.
All the knights who died in the library had at least 36 symbols on their bodies because they had undergone the promotion ceremony. If we kill a few hundred of them, even if the symbols are repeated, there will be tens of thousands of them.
If in the Blood Bat Ritual, the fusion of the carrier and the present is to be placed in the same pool with the bat blood, then the fusion of the Aphid Emperor and the Tomb of the Earth is to sleep here for a thousand years.
There is a huge difference in difficulty between the two, and the levels of the rituals are different.
Jiang He said, "He failed. The transition from a knight to a titled knight is too big. The power of the earth that had been dormant for a thousand years was integrated into the soul weapon, not into himself. There should be a major stage missing, as well as the necessary accumulation and foundation."
In short, if the knight is of bronze life, the Aphid Emperor's grand ceremony is to jump directly to gold life, skipping the silver life stage.
He took too big a step and tore his crotch.
Because of this, the remaining power of the Great Ceremony flowed to a certain alchemist, resulting in the birth of two active skills.
The Grey Knight stroked his chin. "You are in league with the Aphid Emperor, so you can understand the message?"
Jiang He was too lazy to answer such boring questions.
"You're very perceptive."
On the skeletal throne, the burly man opened his eyes.
"What do you think of this so-called big stage?"
Jiang He remained silent. The essence of the title knight ceremony deduced by the other party was to integrate external forces and thus influence the outside world. This required that one's inner self must be complete, and the prerequisite was to further control the power of the soul armament, which had very high standards for the carrier.
The rituals of chivalry were inspired by a variety of animals.
Humans are also animals.
The key to the silver life level is most likely to truly refine the power of animals for your own use and to sublimate the soul weapon for the second time, that is: after the knight's self (past) merges with the soul weapon (present), he becomes the X Knight (future).
Once you have mastered the original formula, you can start developing and deducing it.
Jiang He put away his thoughts. He wanted to become an X-Knight, but with his current accumulation, he was still a long way off. Not only did he need the alchemical formula containing symbols, but he also needed to have sufficient physical fitness, spirit, and energy, considering the failure of the Aphid Emperor.
The primary goal now is to complete the side quests, seize the elite-level secret treasure Silkworm Life, and kill the violators.
The burly man stood up from the skeletal throne and pulled out a flesh tube from behind his head, which immediately turned to ashes.
Wu He's eyes were dark as he said, "That's the Planarian Secret Treasure. This creature can retain its memory even if it is cut into six pieces. The Aphid Emperor is now in the state of a Secret Treasure. After reading his memories, he is similar to the original Aphid Emperor, at least his thoughts and memories are the same."
"If you want to control me, then you two can run away."
The Grey Knight drew his thunder blade, "We are here for the silkworms."
"court death."
The former emperor took the lead in launching the attack.
As he moved forward, the library made of aphids seemed to come to a standstill. Only the thunderclouds in the sky outside kept rolling, and the faint sound of shaking could be heard.
In front of someone, the emperor's burly figure appeared in an instant, the heavy sword in his hand was unusually wide, more like a heavy shield, the blade swept across, golden sword light overflowed, the sword was sharp and majestic. Jiang He placed the gun sideways, the exquisiteness of the close-range gun·Overlord Lifting the Tripod lies in the steady standing posture as still as a mountain.
The sword wind blew across his face.
The gun blades collided, and a crisp and long tinkling sound echoed.
There was a hint of surprise in the emperor's eyes. The quality of the spear was beyond his expectations. It remained intact after being swept by the heavy sword. At the moment of the confrontation, he vaguely saw the disdainful glance of the dragon on the pattern on the spear.
Jiang He moved sideways several steps, his palms trembling slightly. In the first round of probing, the two sides found that the enemy had an absolute advantage in strength.
After the emperor swept across, he took a step sideways to adjust his attack position, followed by a straight stab. The heavy sword body was like a chariot, and the sword moves were smooth and full of simplicity tempered in battle.
Jiang He pushed the tail of the gun forward with his left hand, and the initial form of energy armor covered his entire body. Close-range gun, Oolong Tail Swing, was a gun move that used the tail of the gun for close-range attack and defense, which was short and fierce.
The spears collided again, and both sides retreated several steps.
The emperor's eyes showed a little more seriousness. Just as he was about to draw his sword again, a white light suddenly appeared in his sight.
A short arrow made entirely of lightning came before his eyes. The Grey Knight shouted, and the arrow exploded. Dense spider-web-like lightning arcs fell forward, covering the emperor's entire body, causing him to become paralyzed.
During the brief pause, Jiang He thrust out a gun with one arm. A silver-white light flashed, and the tip of the gun stabbed a hole the size of a human head in the enemy's body.
A strange weight poured out, and the emperor flew backwards, almost sitting back on the skeletal throne.
But Jiang He and the Grey Knight's expressions turned serious at the same time.
Not a drop of blood flowed out of the emperor's horrific wounds; in less than a breath, the wounds healed completely.
Jiang He quickly scanned the 777 alchemical stone pillars in the mausoleum palace. The enemy's self-healing ability even exceeded the advanced level. The aphid blood stone contained powerful vitality. If it was not used to increase lifespan but to heal injuries, although it would be a waste, it was indeed effective.
At the same time that the emperor was recovering from his injuries, the light of a stone pillar quietly dimmed, and it was inconspicuous under the cover of many stone pillars.
"Lehman, cut off the stone pillar."
The Grey Knight heard the order and did not hesitate. A long white silk thread emerged from his left hand and moved as fast as a fierce snake. In the blink of an eye, it wrapped around a dozen stone pillars around him. With a strong pull, the sharp lightning line cut the stone pillars, turning them from a complete state into countless pieces.
"No, there are too many."
The Grey Knight secretly felt that it was a difficult task. For an emperor's tomb, the amount of manpower and material resources that could be mobilized during his lifetime was unimaginable. It would take at least half a day to completely destroy it with just one person's strength.
"Troublesome guy."
The emperor left the vicinity of the skeletal throne and approached someone again with the broad heavy sword. This time, when he swung it, wind and energy spread out, and hundreds of golden sword auras materialized.
The golden sword energy chopped and created deep cracks on the initial energy armor. The moment the heavy sword attacked, the remaining sword energy exploded and completely destroyed the energy armor.
The emperor swung his heavy sword down, and the golden light was like a sun releasing unparalleled brilliance.
The loud sound of a huge hammer hitting a bell was heard.
But the strange feeling from the sword made the emperor's expression change slightly.
The silver-white spear pierced through the sword light and accurately pierced the enemy's heart.
The light faded, and a new energy armor emerged on Jiang He's body. The sword-and-shield-like scales were interlaced with each other, and the armor was rugged and full of a strong and exquisite feeling. The sword-scale snail dragon armor was ranked as excellent, and its defense was exceptionally outstanding.
