When Lin Shen finished reviewing the attributes of the Supersource Holy Shield Dragon, he was stunned; a Ten-stage Tri-Life Base Holy Shield Dragon with an astonishing attribute score of 320.
Lin Shen calculated that when he reached the tenth stage, his ordinary attributes would only be 243, and yet this creature's attributes topped his own expected tenth-stage attributes. The Tri-Life Base was genuinely robust.
However, its basic attributes must have been 80, and if it had been 81, the score could have been a bit higher.
Even so, it was already bizarrely strong. If this creature advanced to Nirvana, its attributes might directly soar to over three thousand, twice as high as Death Powder's, effectively making it an attribute monster.
Looking at its skills, it's no wonder this creature could withstand an attack from Death Powder.
All three Base Change Talents were aimed at enhancing the physique, with Tyrant Dragon Body strengthening hardness and toughness, Divine Dragon Descent directly enhancing all four dimensions, but with significant time limitations. Dragon Blood Boiling could also amplify all four attributes, but not as ridiculously as doubling them – it was a skill that gradually increased attributes with combat, growing stronger the longer the battle lasts, trading time for attributes, up to a maximum of doubling the attributes.
All three Life Bases were defensive types; Defense of the Circle could double the defense of the Bronze Holy Shield and also had force-dissipating effects; Triangle Defense also doubled defense and had a damage reflection effect. Quadrilateral Holy Shield doubled defense as well and had an energy absorption effect.
All three effects could apply to the Holy Shield Barriers, and the barriers could be stacked – the effects of the shield defenses could also be combined, and stacking the barriers could enhance defensive capabilities.
After reviewing the skill attributes of the Supersource Holy Shield Dragon, Lin Shen understood why it could survive a hit from Death Powder; a Tri-Life Base truly was an aberrant existence.
The only regret was that this creature was defensive in nature, possessing not so strong offensive capabilities. Yet relying on its massive attribute advantage, its combat strength within the Ascension Level was an off-the-charts presence.
"Finally got a decent mount," Lin Shen remarked as he reverted the Holy Shield Dragon to its pet state. The trouble was, it took three keys to activate the Holy Shield Dragon.
Although the Holy Shield Dragon was just of a mutant quality, in some aspects, it was even more terrifying than a Super-Base Creature.
The silver crystal Holy Shield Dragon, complete with Lin Shen's carapace, matched unexpectedly well in color, despite a slight difference in texture.
Riding the Holy Shield Dragon, Lin Shen let it release its three Life Bases. Three shield panels orbited outside, forming a light barrier encompassing the whole body of the Holy Shield Dragon. This light shield was capable of withstanding strikes from Nirvana Level strength.
It was only because Death Powder's Nirvana Attribute attack was too powerful, for another Nirvana Attribute with a less potent attack, the triple shield barrier might withstand a few hits.
With this powerful mount, heading out to hunt exotic creatures felt much safer. Under normal conditions, the triple-light barrier couldn't last too long, but if it were under attack, the energy-absorption effect of the Quadrilateral Defense could extend the barrier's duration—making it truly formidable.
"Truly a splendid and practical mount," Lin Shen decided that after his own Nirvana, he would have to find a good way to have this creature undergo Nirvana as well.
He had never heard of any other creature with a Tri-Life Base besides this one. Stay tuned for updates on empire
Having secured the Holy Shield Dragon, Lin Shen was no longer in the mood to hunt other Supersource Dragons. After riding the Supersource Dragon around the planet for a while, he chose to teleport back.
As usual, seeing that it was morning time, Lin Shen prepared to visit the Celestial Master Institute and, by the way, ask how to practice the Chi Xinhuo because he just couldn't get it right.
Before leaving the house, Lin Shen glanced at his fourth brother, Lin Xiangdong, who was still accepting challenges on the leaderboard.
His ranking hadn't changed from before, and it seemed like it had been a long time since anyone had challenged him.
This was undoubtedly a good thing for Lin Xiangdong.
The battles for the leaderboard rankings tested not only strength but also stamina and other aspects.
During the ranking period, one couldn't obtain any replenishments: no food or water and no potions for healing. If one faced consecutive challenges, it was hard to recover both physical strength and skills.
The fewer challenges one faced, the longer one could last. Some people who were not exceptionally strong but were very resilient could achieve higher rankings than those slightly stronger than them.
Lin Xiangdong's current situation seemed stable enough to last until the end of the rankings.
Just as Lin Shen was pondering this, he saw a figure enter Lin Xiangdong's planetary home ground, and a challenger had just arrived.
Lin Shen took a closer look and the challenger to Lin Xiangdong turned out to be a member of the Di Man Tribe. Lin Shen, just about to leave the house, couldn't help but stop in his tracks.
There were not many people paying attention to Lin Xiangdong anymore, after all, given his ranking, no top Nirvana Beings would likely challenge him. Since he didn't challenge others either, just coasting on his ranking wasn't very exciting.
However, with the arrival of a challenger from the Di Man Tribe, the number of people watching Lin Xiangdong surged.
"Isn't that Qiao Geli? Why would he challenge the Undefeated King? With his strength, he should have climbed the rankings long ago, right? How come he has only just entered the top ten million?"
"Qiao Geli is known as one of the three great prodigies of the Di Man Tribe, even more famous than Kristin, and he became known earlier than Kristin. He should have the strength to break into the top ten of Nirvana Level, so why is his ranking so low?"
"Could it be that he intentionally let his ranking fall behind just to fight a battle against the Undefeated King?"
"You know, that might actually be possible."
Qiao Geli, looking at Lin Xiangdong, asked coldly, "Is Lin Shen your younger brother?"
"You know my brother?" Lin Xiangdong's gaze narrowed slightly.
"I don't, but someone from the Lin Family offended a noble of my tribe, so all of you should die, including you," Qiao Geli said, looking at him as if he were looking at a dead man.
The Wan Family were followers of Qiao Geli's family, and Qiao Geli's family was in turn followers of Catherine's family.
Because of the incident with Lin Miao and Wan Nianbei, it wasn't just the Wan Family that was nearly annihilated; even Qiao Geli's family suffered, having been punished by Catherine.
Therefore, Qiao Geli despised the people of the Lin Family intensely. If he had the chance to participate in Ascension-level combat, he certainly would not have let Lin Shen off.
Since he couldn't encounter Lin Shen, he came for Lin Xiangdong instead.
"Very good, very good indeed," Lin Xiangdong started laughing.
"What's so funny?" Qiao Geli asked coldly, staring at Lin Xiangdong.
"The opportunity to kill an enemy is naturally a cause for joy," Lin Xiangdong said as he reached out and flicked a flower petal.
