Chapter 194: New Immortal Killer Move
Lin Yan withdrew his gaze from Flame Sovereign Blessed Land and nodded in satisfaction. At its current pace of recovery, the blessed land’s annual output was expected to more than double within the next two years.
Next came his gains from the Dream Realm. The simulation of Flame Sovereign Blessed Land had already run for nine hundred days. Even so, the progress remained limited. So far, he had only identified a dozen species of beasts and plants that were unsuitable for introduction. Deducing a complete and stable ecosystem would still require a great deal of time.
Fortunately, his work on killer moves had yielded far better results. Using Oil Flame Immortal Gu as the core, he successfully deduced two Rank Six immortal killer moves, but the process still took nine hundred days even with the help of Dream Derivation Immortal Gu
This was far slower than before. With his Flame Path Grand Master attainment, he had once deduced six or seven Flame Path killer moves in a single month. However, those killer moves had all been based on the foundation he built as a Gu Master. They merely refined what already existed, whereas these immortal killer moves had to be created from nothing. Naturally, the difficulty was on an entirely different level.
Moreover, these two immortal killer moves were anything but ordinary. Both were support type killer moves centered around Oil Flame Immortal Gu. The first was Feed the Flame. With Oil Flame Immortal Gu as the core, supported by a large number of Fire-burning Wine Gu and Liquor Worms, it could consume vast quantities of Flame Path immortal materials to permanently increase Flame Path dao marks
Such a method was extremely rare, as it touched upon the profound mysteries of the Food Path. Naturally, deducing it was far more difficult than ordinary Flame Path killer moves. His limited Food Path attainment had become the greatest obstacle.
Even so, his Flame Path Master attainment was enough to let him imitate the effects of Food Path with Flame Path methods, allowing him to finally complete the deduction.
The significance of Feed the Flame Immortal killer move was extraordinary. For almost every Gu Immortal, undergoing tribulations was the primary way to increase dao marks. Although Lin Yan possessed the Ten Extreme Physique and gained far more dao marks from each tribulation than ordinary Gu Immortals, he was still far from satisfied. Relying on tribulations alone was simply too slow.
After all, once the great era reached its later stages, even peak Rank Eight Gu Immortal with fewer than a million dao marks would hardly be qualified to compete.
If he relied solely on tribulations, he would only possess around eight to nine thousand dao marks at Rank Six peak, about forty thousand at Rank Seven peak, and roughly three hundred thousand at Rank Eight peak. Reaching one million dao marks would remain a distant goal.
By then, he would be nothing more than cannon fodder in the struggle for supremacy.
The second killer move was Blazing Prosperity. Like Feed the Flame, it used Oil Flame Immortal Gu as its core. Combined with several Luck Path and Food Path immortal materials, it became a rare blessed land killer move inspired by the Blazing Crucible Earth Calamity, touching upon the profound mysteries of both Luck Path and Food Path.
Better yet, every material needed to activate it could be produced within Flame Sovereign Blessed Land. Fire-eating Wolves, Lone Star Wolves, and many other resources were already part of the blessed land’s ecosystem.
Its effects were equally astonishing. Once activated, the blessed land’s output would triple during the first year. The cost was a fifty percent reduction in production during the second year. By the third year, production would return to normal, although the blessed land would still require another year to fully recover. Because of this, the killer move could only be used once every three years.
Even so, three years inside the blessed land amounted to only one month in the outside world. In the long run, it nearly doubled the blessed land’s income.
Lin Yan was extremely satisfied with both killer moves. Although neither directly increased his battle strength, they would greatly boost both his cultivation and the development of Flame Sovereign Blessed Land.
There were only about two years left before Fang Yuan’s rebirth.
If everything went according to plan, Lin Yan estimated that he could refine nearly forty thousand Flame Path dao marks before then. By that time, his battle strength would rival that of a peak Rank Seven Gu Immortal.
Next, Lin Yan sat within Flame Sovereign Blessed Land and prepared to test the Feed the Flame Immortal killer move.
Hundreds of Fire-burning Wine Gu circled around him. Their crimson bodies resembled jars filled with blazing liquor, releasing an intense wine fragrance that permeated the air. A single breath was enough to make one’s head spin, while the nose and throat burned as though engulfed in flames.
Fire-burning Wine was undoubtedly an exceptionally potent liquor.
Floating before Lin Yan was a mound of glittering golden sand. Brilliant six-colored light shimmered across its surface, making it dazzling to behold. It was the Rank Six immortal material Six Yang Divine Sand. The pile before him alone was worth nearly one hundred immortal essence stones.
