Chapter 498: Chapter 497 Level 3 System Pure Distortion

“Yes,” Gu Linchuan’s message arrived late, but it was enough for Lu Zixun to confirm his inner suspicions.

The Insect Clan wasn’t an invading species; the battle for supremacy might have initially been for the sake of balance.

But as the Third-order World fell, the purpose of the battle for supremacy was no longer for balance; it seemed more like a test.

In other words, the battle for supremacy was no longer the friendly exchange of this year for you, the next for me, where everyone was happy and got along without issues.

If the battle for supremacy was lost, then the resources of the Human Clan wouldn’t just decrease for one year, they would diminish year by year.

A sector symbolized resources, and resources could be converted into combat power.

Possessing the same sectors, one could tell from this battle that the Insect Clan undoubtedly had an overwhelming advantage.

When it came to converting resources into combat power, the Insect Clan undoubtedly excelled.

Whether humanity was aware of the ultimate purpose of the battle for supremacy, Lu Zixun did not know.

But if Zhenfei and the Three Prefectures didn’t know, Lu Zixun felt that was a bit of an exaggeration.

So what was their goal then, to make the waters even murkier?

Guessing the intentions of the Insect Clan was much simpler than guessing the human heart.

Lifting his paw, he rubbed his head, Lu Zixun eased his mood; the pressing matter was to secure victory in the battle for supremacy.

As long as they won the battle for supremacy, no matter what undisclosed purposes Zhenfei and the Three Prefectures had, they could be held off for a while, giving Lu Zixun time to investigate.

“Lu Zixun has already discovered some clues; what will the Demon Country do?”

At this moment, Gu Linchuan was in Yang Guohong’s courtyard.

Gu Linchuan looked at Yang Guohong, his eyes filled with worry.

The Night Watchman guarded the Abyss, which in turn restrained the Night Watchman; they couldn’t offer much help in the battle for supremacy.

“They will,” Yang Guohong’s eyes grew even dimmer as he slowly opened them: “Although Lu Zixun is of the Demon Clan, his ties are with human society, protect those around him.”

This statement seemed to drain Yang Guohong of much energy, and after speaking, he closed his eyes again.

Watching Yang Guohong’s condition, Gu Linchuan pursed his lips and silently heaved a sigh.

…

“System upgrade complete.”

The next morning, the sound of the completed system upgrade roused Lu Zixun from his sleep.

Lu Zixun opened his eyes, a sharp gleam flickering within.

“Ding—System successfully upgraded to Third-level System. Advancing to Level 4 System requires two million feeling values, four hundred thousand Super Energy Particles.”

“Ding—Due to the Host’s J-level strength, the system has been upgraded to the Third Level; a Sky-splitting Gem is awarded in conjunction with the world’s situation.”

“Ding—Evading world laws, enhancing the Host’s overall strength.”

In the moment of system upgrade, Lu Zixun’s strength advanced to J-level.

Faced with this change, Lu Zixun took a deep breath of power; this was quite overwhelming…

Before the battle for supremacy, it would have been best for Lu Zixun’s strength to remain at J-level, but unexpectedly, it had increased.

However, this was still within Lu Zixun’s control, as long as he didn’t advance to I-Level.

Since his power had increased, Lu Zixun decided to check his personal panel.

Lu Zixun: Swallowing Sky Cat Demon Clan, bloodline power awakened, Bleak.

Mastering Superpowers: Infinite Strength (Second Order Stage), Rapid (Third Order Stage), Sensitive Smell (Second Order Stage), Ice Elemental Control (Fourth Order Stage), Magnetic Field Control (Fourth Order Stage), Blazing Spirit Fire (Fourth Order Stage).

Twisted value: 10/200

Owned feeling values: Nine hundred and seventy-four thousand points.

Owned super energy particles: Ten thousand points.

Sky-splitting Gem: Capable of pausing the world’s time for 1S or reversing time back to ten minutes ago, cooldown time: Seven days.

If the enhancement in strength was within Lu Zixun’s expectations, then the Sky-splitting Gem awarded by the system truly caused a storm in Lu Zixun’s heart.

It was definitely the most powerful superpower item he had seen, with either function being a bug-level skill.

The confrontation between masters often hinges on that one second to determine life and death, and reversing time proved to be even more useful. If used well, Lu Zixun might be able to evade a fatal death.

“Earned it, a huge profit.”

Compared to the previous frustrations brought by the system upgrade, the appearance of the Sky-splitting Gem was a total relief for Lu Zixun.

However, the Bleak that suddenly appeared behind his bloodline power and the presence of the twisted value made Lu Zixun narrow his eyes.

Lu Zixun still didn’t know what Bleak was, but the emergence of the twisted value definitely gave him greater confidence in dealing with the Light and Shadow Association.

They could fall victim to the Power of the Twisted at any moment.

And the twisted value prompt in the system would enable Lu Zixun to maintain balance, to prevent shellification.

Just as Lu Zixun was exploring other uses of the Third-level System, the System Prompt Sound that rang out in that moment made his eyes sparkle.

“Ding—Detecting the Host’s possession of Sky Pool, which can be used to enhance the Sky-splitting Gem.”

Lu Zixun, not expecting Sky Pool to have this function, hurriedly took out the two Sky Pools.

Just as he was figuring out how to enhance it, the Sky-splitting Gem emitted a glow, enveloping the Sky Pools.

“The Sky-splitting Gem absorbs one in a billionth part of a Gu Master…”

“The Sky-splitting Gem absorbs one in a billionth part of a Gu Master, now with the following effects: Capable of pausing the world’s time for 3S or reversing time back to twenty minutes ago, cooldown time: Seven days.”

Compared to the upgrade of the Sky-splitting Gem, what concerned Lu Zixun more was the Gu Master.

Previously, when the system upgraded and provided the World Tree Seed, Lu Zixun was maliciously watched, and the system severed that gaze through the Gu Master.

And it was the Gu Master that sealed the Sky Pool…

Lu Zixun’s gaze fell on the Sky Pool, where the explanation about Sky Pool was no longer just a few lines.

“Sky Pool 01, a product of the Void, contains powerful Pure Distortion (absorbable). Indiscriminate absorption may risk shellification. Note: The gods have reneged on their promises.”

And the note for Sky Pool 04 was: “They all deserve to die!”

Lu Zixun’s brow furrowed deeply.

If these two things were products of the Void, what was the meaning behind these notes?

Could there be sentient beings in the Void?

But what was the difference between the Power of the Twisted and Pure Distortion?

Considering that he could see the twisted value, Lu Zixun decided to give it a try.

After telling Ge Changming not to let anyone disturb him, Lu Zixun raised his hand to set up a Spiritual Barrier in the bathroom.

After taking out Sky Pool 01, he poured Repair Liquid into the bathtub.

“Plop.”

Lu Zixun jumped in and began to engage with the Pure Distortion from Sky Pool 01.

In just an instant, his mind was filled with malice, contorting his face into a fierce grimace.
