"I can only hold on for three seconds!"
Lin Xiao returned to his peak state without hesitation. He used Time Walk to the head of the phoenix, but he could not find the core of the phoenix.
Lin Xiao flashed to the tail of the phoenix without hesitation. He did not search for the core. Instead, he used Time Walk to the back of the phoenix that he had just passed by. Time Stop stopped the flames within a ten-meter radius. At the same time, a solid sphere solidified.
It was obvious that this was the core of the phoenix. It had been moving around in the phoenix's body. He raised his sword and slashed down. The huge phoenix shook violently and almost collapsed.
However, he had already found the core of the phoenix. He slashed three times per second. The ten seconds in the time bubble ended. The huge phoenix collapsed directly, turning into flames that spread in all directions.
Lin Xiao heaved a sigh of relief and fell from the sky. However, before he could even take a second breath, a powerful suction force came from the center of the raging flames that filled the sky, attracting all the flames to the center and turning them into a phoenix egg that was wrapped in raging flames. An energy fluctuation that made his heart palpitate came from the phoenix egg.
"Nirvana!"
"Rebirth from the Ashes!"
Lin Xiao reacted immediately. He used Time Walk to search around again. Soon, he found the phoenix egg that was moving irregularly in the phoenix's body. He moved above the phoenix egg and slashed down with his sword. Instantly, a number of 99100 appeared in front of him. At the same time, there was a ten-second countdown.
It was obvious that the countdown was the time needed for the phoenix to be reborn from the ashes. 100 was the number of attacks needed to break the phoenix egg.
"This is easy!"
Lin Xiao smiled confidently and slashed with his sword.
With just two Time Locks and Thought Stillness, the final attack was completed when there were still five seconds left on the countdown. The slash cracked the phoenix's shell, and endless uncontrollable flames spewed out. They were quickly sucked into the center by an invisible force, forming a new phoenix egg.
This was not Nirvana Rebirth. It was an item.
Nirvana Light (Light Orange): The first light born after a phoenix's nirvana.
Attribute: Nirvana. Forcefully raises a piece of equipment by one level. The specific increase is related to the equipment.
"It's a pity that it's an item and not other equipment."
Lin Xiao only had two pieces of equipment. One was a blue sword, and the other was the dark purple Eternal Tree Heart. If he used this …
He paused for a moment and took down the Eternal Tree Core. Holding the dazzling white fireball in his right hand, he thought for a moment and gently pressed it on the Eternal Tree Core.
The next stage was the thirty-sixth stage. Since he wouldn't be able to obtain any other weapons for the time being, he could only strengthen his current weapons to increase his strength.
The weapon was only a normal blue grade. It was a waste to upgrade it to a purple grade.
The Heart of the Eternal Tree was dark purple, and the next level was orange. It was unlikely that light orange items could be forcefully upgraded to dark orange, but it was not a problem for light orange to darken purple and upgrade to orange.
The higher the grade, the greater the difference. The Eternal Tree Heart should be strengthened to orange, and its power should be greatly increased.
As the blazing white Nirvana Light merged with the Eternal Tree Core, the entire Eternal Tree Core began to burn with blazing white flames. Very quickly, the Eternal Tree Core turned into a transparent diamond-like crystal. One could vaguely see traces of flames swimming within.
Heart of Eternity (Orange): The heart of the Tree of Eternity fused with the first ray of light born after the Phoenix's nirvana, thus reactivating the power of the Tree of Eternity.
Attributes: Maximum HP + 300%, Maximum Stamina + 300%, HP Recovery Speed + 700%, Stamina Recovery Speed + 700%
Skills: Eternal Fire. Each attack deals an additional 30% fire damage, and converts up to 30% of each attack's damage into HP and Stamina to recover the user.
Skills: Nirvana Fire. Reduces fire damage by 70%, immune to all fire-related debuffs.
Evaluation: The Eternal Tree Core fused with the Nirvana Fire reproduces a trace of the power of the Miracle Tree.
The effect was very powerful. Whether it was the high HP and Stamina bonus, recovery ability, attack lifesteal, or the large fire damage reduction, they were all very useful.
One God Equipment was already so powerful. If he had six God Equipment, wouldn't he be much stronger?
It was worth mentioning that the equipment in this world was not based on the position of the body. It was not a helmet, armor, necklace, ring, etc. There were only six equipment slots, and one could equip six pieces of equipment of any type. If one was willing to equip six weapons at once, it would be effective at the same time.
Lin Xiao had gotten a big piece of equipment at the beginning, but there were still four empty slots. When he got a few pieces of equipment as powerful as the Heart of Eternity, he believed that it would be very powerful.
The countdown ended quickly. When the white light disappeared, a blue beam of light fell from the sky and landed on the ground. A layer of ice appeared on the ground where it touched, and it quickly spread in all directions.
"It's not my illusion?"
He thought that the last level of the Tower of Babel was to deal with an illusion with the same strength and equipment as him, but it turned out that was not the case.
As the blue beam of light became brighter and brighter, the temperature in the battle space became lower and lower. Compared to the Phoenix in the previous level, it was ice and fire.
Lin Xiao looked at the blue beam of light in the center, trying to find an opponent for this level to see if he could interrupt the colder and colder temperature. However, there was no other figure in the void except for the blue beam of light that was getting brighter and colder.
"What is the meaning of this level? Is it to see how long I can last? "
He looked around suspiciously and found nothing.
No choice, he could only wait.
As the blue beam of light became brighter and brighter, the freezing speed became faster and faster. Soon, it affected the entire battle space. Even the surrounding walls and the ceiling were frozen. The entire battle space turned into a world of ice. At this time, a figure floating in the air faintly appeared in the dazzling beam of light.
"Kacha!"
Burrs appeared in the void. That was the water in the air that was frozen.
Seeing that the environment was getting worse and worse, Lin Xiao did not dare to wait any longer. When the illusion succeeded, he immediately turned into a stream of light and passed through the illusion …
A terrifying chill that made Lin Xiao feel suffocated arrived after he used Time Walk to pass through the illusion. This thing had a passive skill similar to the Lightning Ghost that could reflect lightning. Time Walk passed through him, and the terrifying chill directly froze him behind the figure formed by ice.
Ancient Ice Soul Calder was a cold projection outside of time. He came from the dark and cold depths of the chaotic void sea and witnessed the birth and end of the universe.
Calder was the supreme power that existed in the past, present, and forever. Everything in the world was just a void that could be annihilated at any time in Calder's eyes.
As the universe aged and withered, Calder's projection would become younger and stronger. His control of frost could freeze everything. The light emitted by his projection was unusually dazzling. At that time, he would no longer be a projection, but a new greatness!
The unimaginable freezing was not immune to the invincible state of Time Walk. In other words, he was indeed invincible in the state of Time Walk. However, he could not be immune to the real freezing that he received when he passed through the Ancient Ice Soul. It only took effect after the state of Time Walk ended.
Therefore, Lin Xiao's Time Lock locked onto the projection of the Ancient Ice Soul Calder, but he was also frozen.
What made him even more depressed was that he was frozen for a longer time than the Time Lock. When the time bubble collapsed, he was still frozen.
A full three seconds of freezing time ended. Even the Time Walk's Thought Stop state had passed for two seconds.
During these two seconds … he was still in a state of deceleration. Moreover, the deceleration was very exaggerated. His speed had been reduced by 90%. Although the deceleration effect was decreasing as time passed and the distance increased, the Time Walk's Thought Stop state had long passed.
Lin Xiao was dumbfounded. How could he fight this?
He had played with ice for a long time, but he had never seen such an outrageous one.
Not to mention not using Time Walk. He could not even get close. The closer he got, the lower the temperature and slower his speed. At the same time, his HP recovery speed was also decreasing rapidly. If he did not use Time Walk to enter the state of invincibility, it would be difficult for him to even get close.
There was no way to fight at all!
He could not do anything to the projection of the Ancient Ice Soul Calder. However, he did not know whether to be thankful or not. Calder seemed to be unable to do anything to him.
Although his Frost Power surpassed the normal Law of Frost and froze everything with the power of extreme cold, its pure lethality was not high. Whether it was various kinds of freezing, frost attacks, or the conversion of the Frost Attribute to physical or other attributes, all of them were absorbed by Lin Xiao's Damage Talent.
In other words, both sides had been fighting for a long time and neither of them had lost much HP.
This was very awkward!
Lin Xiao used up all his Time Walk in one breath and used more than ten different methods to no avail.
He directly jumped into the body of the Ancient Ice Soul and was frozen before he could react. If the Ancient Ice Soul did not actively expel him, he might have been frozen until the end of time.
He appeared a little further away. Although he was not directly frozen, there was nothing he could do at such a distance.
He even tried to throw the weapon in his hand from afar. The long sword hit the Ancient Ice Soul and made a crisp "ding" sound. A small white dot burst out and disappeared in the next second. Then, he was frozen in place by Calder's burst of frost.
There was no other way.
The battle was in a stalemate.
This stalemate lasted for several hours. Lin Xiao could not even take the initiative to admit defeat because according to the challenge rules of the Tower of Babel, one could not admit defeat and quit during a challenge.
One could either quit before the 35th level was finished or quit after this level. Once the challenge started, one side had to lose.
Ten hours passed.
Twenty hours passed. Lin Xiao had been bombarded indiscriminately. He was in a painful cycle of freezing, slowing, freezing, slowing, and slowing. He could not do anything.
He was in despair.
But he had to admit that the 36th level of the Tower of Babel was indeed ridiculous. His Damage Absorption from the black hole was just as ridiculous. It could completely absorb all types of damage, including True Damage. If it were any other Damage Absorption skill, there would be some attributes that could not be absorbed. This Ancient Ice Soul was not only capable of frost. Previously, it had changed dozens of attributes and bombarded him back and forth.
Lin Xiao did not know when the pain of being frozen would end. He only hoped that there would be a time limit for the Tower of Babel challenge. When the time limit was up, it would automatically end.
At first, he thought it would be 24 hours.
But when he waited for 24 hours, nothing happened.
He hoped it would be 36 hours.
When he waited for 36 hours, nothing happened again.
He pinned his hopes on 48 hours.
When he waited for 48 hours, nothing happened again.
Lin Xiao did not speak.
It took him more than ten minutes to raise his head. It took him more than ten hours to walk a dozen steps and reach the Ancient Ice Soul. It took him a few hours to raise his arm and a few hours to stab. Finally, after an unknown amount of time, the tip of the sword finally touched the Ancient Ice Soul Calder's chest.
"Ding!"
The entire battle space was frozen by an indescribable force. The extreme cold that covered the entire battle space quickly disappeared and the temperature continued to rise.
The omnipresent frost power converged toward the Ancient Ice Soul Calder in the center and turned into a thick dark blue light beam.
The temperature in the air rose rapidly. The frozen Lin Xiao slowly recovered and blinked with a dumbfounded expression.
"Crack!"
The long sword in his hand shattered like brittle ice. Countless pieces fell to the ground.
He did not care about this at all. His eyes were focused in front of him. The screen above showed:
"Congratulations on defeating the projection of the Ancient Ice Soul Calder and becoming the new guardian of the Tower of Babel!"
"I defeated the projection of the Ancient Ice Soul Calder? How did I defeat it? "
From the beginning to the end, other than passing through time, he had only encountered the Ancient Ice Soul Calder twice. He did not even break his skin. How could this be considered passing?
Lin Xiao was very puzzled. However, he could not communicate with the Tower of Babel. Naturally, he could not get an answer.
He could only guess that it might be similar to a competition. After all, before the end of the time, neither side could do anything to the other. The winner was determined by the number of hits or the life lost. He did not know how the Tower of Babel calculated it. Anyway, he was awarded the victory.
Although he was a little confused, victory was always a good thing. Lin Xiao calmed down and reached out to grab a prismatic crystal suspended in the air that was slowly rotating and constantly emitting extreme cold aura.
Calder's Legacy: The crystal left by the projection of the Ancient Ice Soul Calder.
Attribute: The legacy left by the Ancient Ice Soul Calder to the challenger. Randomly select a treasure left by the Ancient Ice Soul Calder's projection after obtaining the final victory in the evolution journey. Randomly select one from talent, skill, and equipment.
"There is such a good thing!"
Lin Xiao was pleasantly surprised. However, in the next second, he looked at the attribute introduction again. His heart moved. He felt that he had guessed why it was his victory.
If he guessed correctly, the 36th level of the Tower of Babel did not require him to win. As long as he persisted to the end, he would win.
After all, the guardian of this level was a great incarnation of a great existence. The Ancient Ice Soul Calder was a super great life form in the depths of the Chaos Void that was comparable to a great Divine Power. Its projection entered the Chaos Domain and obtained the final victory in the evolution journey at that time. It was also promoted to an existence comparable to a great Divine Power.
As everyone knew, once one was promoted to a great Divine Power or a great existence of the same level, everything related to one's past would be upgraded. The projection of Calder in the Tower of Babel was the same.
In other words, Lin Xiao was now facing a projection of a great existence. Normally, there was no possibility of winning. Therefore, the setting of the Tower of Babel was that if one could persist to a draw, they would pass.
Thinking about the battle just now, the frost power froze everything. It was far beyond the limit of the normal ice laws. It was completely another dimension of frost. Moreover, it could change the laws at will. From frost to flame and lightning in an instant, it was obviously not something that a normal phase-3 evolutionary could do.
