I Am Loaded with Passive Skills

Chapter 3145: Chapter 1609: Divine Concealment Return Ruins Releases Sui Jun, Overlord Sky City Kui Lei Compassionate
 

“Forbidden·Death Curse Tablet.”

Rumble rumble rumble…

Upon activation, a sky-enveloping barrage of dark purple tombstones descended from above.

Space and earth melted upon contact, and exploded upon impact, their corrosivity and penetrating power were both formidable.

When it hit the ground, the tombstone shattered, transforming into clusters of vast dark purple corrosive slime.

The slime, as if possessing life force and intelligence, actively wriggled in search of enemies, seeking Xu Xiaoshou, and attempted to pollute him.

But…

“Cursed Yin!”

“Is this, all you’ve got?”

Xu Xiaoshou held aloft his Shattered Shield and laughed heartily.

At this moment, he wasn’t even in his Ultimate Giant form, just a mini-version of the Raging Giant.

The Shattered Shield shrank as well, matching the approximately thirty zhang stature of the Raging Giant.

In doing so, his defensive area was reduced, and the volume of tombstone attacks he could take within a certain time frame was also limited.

But even so…

“Attacked, Passive Points, +1121.”

“Attacked, Passive Points, +1163.”

“Attacked, Passive Points, +1107.”

“…”

The bombardment from thousands of tombstones quickly stained the face of the Shattered Shield black and red.

Though it wasn’t clear what use this was, it looked filthy and required immediate cleaning.

“Swallow!”

Feast took a big bite, quickly devouring the remaining curse power on the shield’s surface and transforming it.

To be safe, Xu Xiaoshou took the power transformed from that curse and filtered it through the Engulfing Power once more before it entered the Dragon Pearl.

Then, instead of daring to send it into the Dragon Pearl, he immediately transformed it and used it for continued defense against the attacks of the evil god.

Cursed Yin was weakening!

Xu Xiaoshou could clearly feel that Cursed Yin’s condition was indeed deteriorating.

After sending away the Eye of Heavenly Ancestor with “Magic Dog Meal,” he fell from the pinnacle into the abyss; his attack strength was now a world apart from before.

“Now, the Shattered Shield can hold him off. Unless this is his way of feigning weakness.”

“His demonic transformation has affected him, the Thirty-Six Divine Punishment Pillars were taken by Hallmaster Dao, affecting him even more, making it impossible for him to keep calm.”

“Having blocked his dozen or so moves earlier, this Death Curse Tablet isn’t much different in level, how could I possibly not withstand it?”

“Of course, the Ancestral God must not be underestimated. The only concern now is one thing—his sudden burst!”

While blocking the attacks, Xu Xiaoshou accurately counted.

So much for the ten auras, that time had long passed, Hallmaster Dao obviously isn’t one to keep time.

Could it be, he had already run out of the Divine Relics?

“What to do?”

Xu Xiaoshou could resist Cursed Yin.

But that didn’t mean he could kill Cursed Yin.

To be honest, he couldn’t even find Cursed Yin’s true body!

Looking up, the Eighteen Heavens were gray, now cloaked in an eerie purple.

Shadows loomed behind the purple, cracked with narrow, black-red eyes mad and restless, casting a weighty gaze from high above.

Cursed Yin’s form had completely vanished.

His essence could be mist, an eye, a spirit, or perhaps a strand of will…

Xu Xiaoshou wasn’t sure, nor could he find it.

He could only bide his time, waiting for Hallmaster Dao’s reinforcements—although he also had no idea where his Great God Descending Technique had gone, or what it could do if it returned.

“Cursed Yin, have you entered Sage mode?”

While defending, Xu Xiaoshou didn’t shy away from mocking.

Relying purely on a person not highly dependable is absolutely irrational.

Xu Xiaoshou was already prepared to fight the evil god alone.

He felt that the state of Cursed Yin, in demonic transformation, as seen from those pervasive eyes, seemed nearly insane.

If so, provoking him to reveal his true form…

Perhaps, without waiting for Hallmaster Dao’s support, he could draw his sword and kill him alone.

“To kill an evil god alone!”

It must be said, resisting the temptation to unlock such an achievement is indeed difficult.

Fortunately, Xu Xiaoshou remained calm, knowing he must consistently employ the strategy of using calm to control action, fearing that any initiative on his part might step right into Cursed Yin’s trap.

“Forbidden·Dragon Roar Great Wilderness.”

With a whistling sound as Cursed Yin settled, the void once again opened an illusory gate.

A bone dragon poked its head through the sky, heavily striking the Shattered Shield.

Only upon contact did Xu Xiaoshou realize it was an attack on consciousness.

It opened his eyes again!

Fortunately, the Shattered Shield, famed as “Absolute Defense,” was not only capable of blocking actual physical entities but was also adept at defending against the soul and consciousness.

This “Dragon Roar Great Wilderness” merely pressed the Raging Giant into a deep pit in the ground, causing only a slight daze in its senses.

In terms of strength, it was three parts weaker than the Death Curse Tablet!

“Good on you!”

“If you have the guts, come over in person!”

“Are these attacks meant to tickle me… bring on ten more!”

Below the feet of the Raging Giant was no longer a Body Dao Disc or Will Dao Disc but the long-unseen Phantom Swords Technique Disc.

This Great Dao Disc was rarely moved because usually, there wasn’t so many spiritual techniques, or “methods,” to learn.

But its power was extremely formidable.

Once, on Abyss Island, Xu Xiaoshou had discerned the essence of Zhu Yike’s Golden Gate Stealing Technique using the Phantom Swords Technique Disc.

Of course, that was just a glimpse of the surface.

Now, the methods of Cursed Yin, his secret techniques, could not even be compared to Zhu Yike’s; one was merely a partial heir of methods, the other was the source itself, demonically transformed.

But Cursed Yin chose to fight with quantity, to delay through time. He miscalculated.

Perhaps he was betting that Xu Xiaoshou, holding the Shattered Shield for long durations, not yet reaching the Sacred Secret Land himself, would soon deplete his spiritual source.

What he didn’t know was that endurance was Xu Xiaoshou’s true trump card.
