Chapter 786 Blasphemous War Spear + Brutal Gouyu = ???

The Mystic Origin True Qi and the Blasphemous War Spear were extremely well suited to fusing into a defensive power. Although Xu Lang was trying this for the first time, his proficiency was instantly maxed out thanks to the two terrifying combat skills, War God and Martial Saint.

For some reason, when he saw himself covered in light, Xu Lang actually felt a faint stirring of emotion.

It seemed that ever since he started playing the game, he had never given defensive skills much thought. He had always just hacked and slashed.

The only abilities that had anything to do with defense were ones that increased his ability to survive.

Next, Xu Lang kept switching up his techniques.

He took turns using Mystic Origin True Qi, Seven Killings Blood Qi, and Ghostly Deity Power, creating a dazzling, bewildering array of attacks.

One gave rise to two, two gave rise to three, and three gave rise to infinity.

The special attribute that suited the Blasphemous War Spear best turned out to be Ghostly Deity Power.

Xu Lang's Ghostly Deity Power had two traits.

One was Brutality, and the other was Sleep.

Brutality increased armor-piercing ability. Put simply, it boosted damage.

When Ghostly Deity Power fused with the Blasphemous War Spear, they worked together in perfect harmony. The Gluttony Demon exhausted every means at his disposal, yet still couldn't stop the Blasphemous War Spear from carving into him.

The Gluttony Demon suffered terribly.

He couldn't beat Xu Lang in a head-on fight, and when he tried to summon Tales to surround and attack him, Xu Lang's authority was higher than his.

As a sparring partner, the Gluttony Demon was undoubtedly qualified.

His regenerative ability was astonishingly powerful, and ordinary methods couldn't kill him. Even Xu Lang could scarcely suppress him without using the power of the Box Lord.

【After an exhilarating battle, you have an epiphany. War God +1】

【After an exhilarating battle, you have an epiphany. Martial Saint +1】

【Martial Saint LV15 (Mythical): Close-combat lethality increased by 1500%. Exclusive skills: “Flash Kick,” “Storm Eye,” “Meteor: Passing the Torch”】

Martial Saint broke through to Level 15 and awakened an exclusive skill.

Xu Lang was thoroughly satisfied. He instantly put several hundred meters between himself and the Gluttony Demon, holding the spear in one hand with its point angled toward the ground while raising the other in a fighting stance.

The battle between the man and the demon had plowed the entire ground.

The Gluttony Demon was well-rounded. The only pity was that he couldn't fly and had no lower body. Now, his hundred-meter-tall frame stood in the enormous crater, a flicker of reason passing through his berserk eyes. For the moment, he didn't attack.

Was this a ceasefire? Xu Lang's aura hadn't faded, so it didn't seem likely.

But why had he retreated so far?

As far as the Gluttony Demon knew, Xu Lang didn't have any powerful long-range attacks.

“You're not a spellcaster...” The Gluttony Demon had only gotten halfway through his sentence when he saw a flicker of flame ignite on Xu Lang's fist.

The next instant, the heavens dimmed, as if that tiny flame had sucked away every trace of light.

In the blink of an eye, the flame had grown dozens of meters across, and its lethality had surged to its peak!

The Gluttony Demon cried out that something was wrong. Countless arms sprouted from his body, trying to form a shield in front of him.

At that moment, Xu Lang's fist came flying out!

Xu Lang's stats were low only when he hadn't activated any of his states. By now, after fighting this long, he had activated everything he could.

The Divine Seal of the Path of Asura wouldn't let him dawdle and drag things out, so he was fighting in earnest!

Xu Lang had 1,400 Constitution. With his SAN value reduced to 0, that became 2,800 points of attributes. Once he entered the Madness Domain at negative 400, it shot up to 8,400!

On top of that, he had a whole host of bonuses: Principle of Force, Overlord, Overlord, Blood Control Mastery, Martial Saint, the Dragon Blood Rakshasa Blood Contract, and more.

If Xu Lang opened his status panel right now, he'd see all his stats changing at a dizzying speed!

Just looking at them would make anyone's head spin!

A hundred-meter meteor shot from Xu Lang's fist, passing straight through the Gluttony Demon's body. After traveling a long distance, it erupted in a massive explosion.

The Gluttony Demon's body stiffened for a moment, then turned black and slowly carbonized, until it was finally consumed by the flames.

“Xu Lang, you bastard!”

The Gluttony Demon's roar echoed across heaven and earth.

……

Xu Lang left Gluttony Purgatory and lay down on the Nightmare Bed. The Nightmare Bed quickly cleansed away his Mental Corruption.

Even he would contract Mental Corruption after entering that critical domain of negative SAN.

“That newly awakened exclusive skill is incredibly powerful.”

Xu Lang reviewed the battle.

Meteor: Passing the Torch was a large-area close-combat technique, and its power barely diminished within a thousand meters. In other words, an enemy a thousand meters away would take almost the same damage as one within three meters.

Another thing was that he seemed to have greater potential for war when wielding the Blasphemous War Spear.

Judging by the boost from the individual pieces alone, the Blasphemous War Spear had already surpassed Purgatory's Master.

“I haven't gone outside to pioneer in so long. I haven't upgraded my Purgatory Armor Set much at all.”

Xu Lang frowned to himself.

He shouldn't have put his primary weapon into the Weapon Armory along with his equipment back then. Now, even if he wanted to switch, it wasn't easy.

After considering it from every angle, the most suitable primary weapon for him to use right now was still Purgatory's Master.

It wasn't because he was sentimental. His combat build was simply structured that way, and switching primary weapons on a whim would affect too many aspects of it.

The War God skill wasn't designed specifically for swords and blades. He could use every exclusive skill with the Blasphemous War Spear, too, but in the end, it just didn't feel quite right.

“The Blasphemous War Spear can serve as my secondary weapon for now... Wait, if it hasn't reached the point where it can replace Purgatory's Master, does that mean I can gamble with it?!”

At that thought, Xu Lang couldn't help crawling out from under the covers.

Chi Qingman was lying beside him. She gave a soft, sleepy moan.

……

History repeats itself.

Xu Lang entered the Fusion Dream once more.

And this time, he was going to fuse something big!

In the space before him, the Blasphemous War Spear and Brutal Gouyu were wrapped in rosy light and tossed into the Fusion Crucible.

That's right!

Xu Lang was going to fuse the Mad King Building's Dorm Owner Token, too!

By now, Xu Lang rarely got a bad result from fusion. After all, he had already explored almost every possible way to fuse things, and had stumbled into all the pitfalls there were to find.

This time, however, he had no idea what the fusion would produce.

“Even if the fusion doesn't go well, it doesn't matter. I'll just treat it as a way to improve my fusion experience.”

Xu Lang activated the power of the Nightmare Lord, sensing the changes inside the Fusion Crucible with all his might as he tried to exert a little Interference Power.

But the Blasphemous War Spear and Brutal Gouyu were far too complex, already beyond his ability to control. In the end, he could only give up.

That was why fusion could never replace upgrading.

Without Xu Lang's direct intervention, the result of a fusion might be unknown, go nowhere, or even regress. There were simply too many variables.

Three minutes later, a “black, gleaming” spear appeared.

【Congratulations, Nightmare Lord. The compatibility between “Heaven's Sin, Blasphemous War Spear” and “Dorm Owner Token: Brutal Gouyu” is “Perfect.” You have created a miracle unique to the dream.】
