Corruption [3]

When I first came in contact with the panel, I knew that its background must be something amazing. Just its ability to trigger lucky draws and level up using EXP is something without any predecessors.

When I killed those 8 Deities back then, I did the impossible. Revival chances, gaining a technique's 'understanding'. This stuff is even more outrageous than the ability to use EXP.

I looked at the prompts that popped up, unable to speak for a while.

"Corruption? Wait, does it have something to do with this?"

I clicked on the [Corruption Resistance (LV10)] on my panel.

[Corruption Resistance (LV10)]

-Great resistance to Divine Sense attacks and a very great resistance against mind-type attacks.

-Gives 80% additional resistance to Divine Sense Attacks and 100% additional resistance to mind-control attacks.

At first, I didn't think much of this. I just thought that the reason why it has the word 'corruption' is that it pertains to external forces.

But then, it looks like things weren't so simple.

"Mind-type attacks? Isn't it quite similar to their corrupted states?"

After some thinking, I left it aside in the back of my mind. If I'm not wrong, I'll know more after I upgrade the [Corruption Resistance] to the Pseudo-Authority level or when this prompt loads up completely.

I disabled my Embryonic Domain as I'm afraid of attracting more trouble. This time, I killed that cultivator while using the Darkness from the Magic System. Moreover, I've read that only when you do something outside of that system will that transformation be triggered.

Turns out that I am right.

"Fellow Daoist!"

A white-clothed man flew near me. Naturally, I checked his panel. There, I saw that he's not in a "Corrupted", but in a "Projection" state.

"Did you see a demonic sect disciple?"

"You mean, him?" I showed that guy's spear to him.

"That's right! Did you kill him?"

"Yes. Too bad I burnt his corpse to dust."

"I see. I'll be leaving this contribution to you, then. See you later!"

He threw back that spear before he left. From the looks of it, this should be a war between the righteous and demonic sects? No wonder he attacked me when he saw my outfit.

I scanned this place with the 2 modules beforehand, and the things that I saw are a Top-grade Spirit Stone mine, a medicinal herb garden, and a cave abode of a strong cultivator. They fought for these then. If these were used correctly, a force would be able to nurture many Law Realms ahead of time.

If their potential is better, they'll be able to reach Nascent Soul peak (S+ Rank) at the age of 16, quite similar to the royal Fenrir that I saw back then. She's 18, but her Realm is at S- already. Though, there's a big difference when it comes to them, since cultivating Heaven's Force is similar to cultivating 3 vessels at the same time. The resources spent and the time taken is naturally longer.

"Reconnaissance first.."

I flew at a very fast speed thanks to Xiao Song's modules. Now that she's upgraded to Demigod Rank, the enhancements that she brought were very effective.

'So you two were this strong before?'

'It's an honor.'

'Project the scanned areas for me.'

'Understood.'

3D projections appeared in my sight. Even though she's not in a <> state, she can still do this due to her being inside my body.

'Away from this battlefield. The escape routes will be.. here.'

I chose a relatively desolate area without many treasures or people. Activating [Entity Obfuscation], I went there at my full speed.

Tap!

I landed on the ground silently. Dispersing the impact through my mental power is a good trick that I learned from master. It's not like a flashy landing would do you any good.

Anyways, I walked from here onwards. I don't want to attract any more attention to this corrupted plane.

Sadly, things turned for a weird turn.

"Hand it over!"

"You punk, give it to us!"

"Never! I'll rather die than give this to you scum!"

When I walked beside a cliff, I heard shouts. After finding the source of it, I am dumbfounded. A handsome man in his neat but extraordinary white robes is being cornered by 5 malicious guys. Just their looks alone are screaming "We're crooked!"

"We were supposed to be allies! Why?!"

"Why? Heh. As long as we kill you, no one should know of this. That treasure will be ours!"

The handsome man ran in my direction at a very fast speed. Fuck. All of them are at Tribulation Transcendence Realm, so they shouldn't be able to see through my stealth. The problem is that they're launching attacks toward this guy.

I tried moving away from here, but it looks like he's following me?

What the fuck?!

I checked his panel. Seeing a certain trait, that mystery was solved. It's the goddamned [Son of the Heaven] trait! Even if this plane's wills aren't functioning, just his built-in probability converter would allow him to be very lucky. If the wills are functioning, it will be even more ridiculous!

As for Red, I only saw [Regression] at him. I later found out that only the ones favored by the System Wills have this trait. As for the one favored by the world will, he has none. His luck is more invisible, but even more ridiculous when compared to it.

At this rate, it would be a never ending cat and mouse chase. Sigh, it looks like I'll need to make a move. I'll have to make sure that I'll leave no traces behind and that my attacks would finish the enemy quickly.

'<>.'

I maximized Xiao Song's stealth module while I attacked at my full force. With me reaching EX- Rank, its prowess isn't something to be taken lightly. In an instant, it killed the 5 chasers, making the medium-level protagonist shocked.

[800,000,000 EXP has been gained.]

[750,000,000 EXP has been gained]...

I knew it, something's wrong with the cyborg zerg that I killed. After knowing the EXP that a Low-Rank Deity could give, it's impossible for a Demigod to give 8B EXP alone. If I'm not mistaken, there should be more than 10 Peak Demigods on that single body? What's that, he cultivated his [Parallel Minds] into 10 Peak Demigods?

Well, it doesn't matter much.

Using [Space Transfer], I got away from here. <<36 Heavenly Constellation Steps>> doesn't seem to work here, so I was forced to make do with it.

"Senior, thank you!"

I heard him shout as I went farther. As I went farther from this battlefield, I saw this world much better. I dare say that this world that doesn't have Aquamarine's modernity is very pleasing to the eyes.

After a while, I arrived at my destination, a city. Confident with my preparations, I went over to the city gate and entered after having paid the toll fee. Then, I headed toward a bookstore. The truths that I saw with [Truth-Piercing Eyes are vague. It's much better to have a clearer understanding of this world.

Hopefully, I could do this reconnaissance without any more hindrances..
