Chapter 360: Chapter 71: Absorbing the Void Arena! Unlocking the Riding and Cutting Talent! Battlefield Duel

"I, heir to the name Parutina..."

"Phoenix Muminams..."

"Descend upon this place..."

Before Yugudora could finish speaking, the spectral image of a pristine white phoenix materialized behind her.

As the spectral image spread its wings, streams of light flowed across them. The next moment, it transformed into a pillar of white light spanning heaven and earth, surging toward Void Envoy One with unstoppable force.

The instant the pillar of light made contact, Void Envoy One’s body had no time to struggle. It dissolved, inch by inch, within the searing white radiance, ultimately scattering into motes of ash.

"How is this possible..."

"A mere human...possessing such power..."

Yugudora simply raised her hand and gave the Holy Sword a gentle flick. The blade, still shimmering with a faint, lingering light, traced a shallow arc through the air.

She lowered her gaze toward the spot where the Void Envoy had vanished and slowly recited the line seared into her soul, her voice soft yet firm:

"Miracles... live forever beneath the Holy Sword..."

"A light that pierces the Darkness... in a world of chaos..."

[Your Divine Chosen Hero has defeated "Void Envoy One"! You have completed the current Void Subjugation... Affected by an unknown energy! You are absorbing the power of the Void Arena!]

[You have unlocked a new Hidden Talent—Battlefield Duel!]

[Battlefield Duel (Lv. MAX): At the start of each battle, you can choose one hero from your faction (including yourself) to challenge any target from the enemy faction to a Battlefield Duel. The duel cannot be disturbed or stopped and must continue until one side is completely defeated. (If a victor cannot be decided, the Void Arena’s "Frenzy" rule will take effect, increasing damage output by 10% per second. If both combatants possess Blood Lock-type Divine Gift abilities and neither has a counter Absolute Instant Death-type Divine Gift ability, the first one whose Blood Volume drops to 1 will be declared the loser!) A new duel can only be initiated after the previous one has concluded.]

[Battle Ends!]

[Your Life Value has been permanently increased by "Bloodthirsty"! Affected by the "Sigmar’s Blessing" skill, you gain an additional 30% increase! Affected by the "Heaven’s Chosen Ruler" title, you gain an additional 500% increase! Affected by the "War Blessing" Talent, you gain an additional 250% increase! Total increase: 780% Extra Life Value!]

[All of your Attribute Values have been permanently increased by "Bloodthirsty"! Affected by the "War Blessing" Talent, you gain an additional 250% increase!]

[In this battle, all opponents were mindless Void Creatures. You were unable to capture any enemies!]

[By slaying Void Creatures and sacrificing Void souls, you have received the favor of the King of War and obtained Divine Chosen Spoils from the enemy corpses: Dragon Crystal x103,521, various Healing Potions, various purple weapons, various purple armor, various Magic Materials, various Manufacturing Materials, various Otherworld Equipment, and various Otherworld Weapons.]

[You have caught the eye of the King of War!]

[You have been granted the right to choose one Power of Authority!]

[1. Power of Authority (Extreme Evasion): A Divine Gift skill. Consume a large amount of stamina to perform an evasion, entering a brief Invincible Frame. After every Perfect Evasion, you will enter Bullet Time, drastically increasing your thought and action speed.]

[2. Power of Authority (Block and Counterattack): A Divine Gift skill. Consume a large amount of stamina to block. Each time you perform a Perfect Guard, you will ignore the damage from the enemy’s attack, enter an Invincible state, and instantly counterattack for massive physical damage. (You will remain Invincible until the counterattack is complete.)]

[3. Power of Authority (Forbidden Healing Power): A Lv. 1 Divine Gift ability. Counters all Lv. 1 Recovery Divine Abilities, nullifying the target’s recovery effects. This also includes its effects on Lv. 0 non-divine recovery abilities.]

’As I expected!’

’I knew it!’

’After killing that Void Envoy, the King of War was sure to grant me a new Power of Authority!’

’On top of that, the hundred thousand-plus Dragon Crystals I just got are also extremely useful. They’ll let me upgrade my Talents freely for a while.’

’As for the new "Battlefield Duel" Talent, it can leverage Yugudora’s "Guaranteed Victory in Duels" Talent while also creating one-on-one kill opportunities for other Divine Chosen Heroes, letting them focus on plundering Fitting Talents from their enemies.’

’This haul was an absolute jackpot!’

As he was lost in thought, a new system prompt suddenly popped up, appearing brightly before Qin Feng.

[Hint: As Void Envoy "One" is now dead, the Void Creatures in the Void Realm will no longer multiply infinitely or form a Void Tide until it uses a special method to resurrect. You must kill all Void Creatures in the Void Realm before it successfully resurrects in order to complete this challenge!]

[Note (Observation from the Level 100 effect of "Recruit Prisoners"): If a "Sealed Resurrection" method can be used to restrict Void Envoy One’s resurrection ability, the Void Creatures in the Void Realm will never be able to multiply, and this Void Realm will be permanently destroyed once cleared!]

’So that’s how it works!’

’The endless Void Creatures in the Void Realm... they aren’t born naturally. They’re just "inferior copies" constantly replicated and multiplied using the Void Envoy’s body as a medium.’

’As long as I can kill the Void Envoy, I can use the window before its resurrection to clear the entire Void Realm in one fell swoop.’

’But if I can’t deal with the Void Envoy, then facing the endless stream of Void Creatures it spawns, no Lord Player could ever hope to fully clear the realm.’

As he pondered, Qin Feng activated his Ranger skill, "Eagle Eye," and gazed at the dark, dense swarm of Void Creatures in the distance.
