Chapter 681: Infinite Evolution vs. Infinite Combination

"Truly worthy of the legends and legendary experts! Amazing!"

"Keep it up, experts! You're the best!"

"You experts are so cool! I can die without regrets after witnessing your might!"

...

As over five thousand demon clan players cheered loudly and flattered, they were also...

Bowing their heads greedily to absorb the soul essence of the slain monsters.

"Ah, the aroma of experience points!"

"Feels great! It's like the day back in the third test when I followed the top players of the first test to gain experience by grinding!"

"Haha, I've broken through again! Thirty-four demonic marks now, feels fantastic!"

...

The demon clan players skillfully absorbed the soul essence of the slain monsters, leveling up at lightning speed. It was truly enjoyable!

Anyway...

Even the top players of the first and second tests couldn't absorb soul essence. Since it would go to waste if not absorbed, why not let us, the demon clan players, absorb it and level up while AFK? That's the true spirit of thriftiness!

"???" He Yiming tilted his head in confusion.

How did this group of 663rd-test demon clan players become more and more like the 3rd-test human players?

For the next three hours, the Five Calamities of Heaven didn't change. They continuously summoned more and more small and large Green Flame Corpse Beasts, but they were still firmly suppressed by the top players of the first and second tests.

Meanwhile, the demon clan players of the third test were squatting behind, constantly flattering and leveling up at lightning speed.

"Top players of the first and second tests, temporarily withdraw!" At this moment, Piggy's Lair's Wulong suddenly issued an order.

"Huh?" Starlight was in the midst of a satisfying fight when he received Wulong's command, instantly becoming puzzled.

"Wulong, what's going on? Why are we retreating now?"

"Yeah, if we retreat, the demon clan players won't be able to hold them back!"

"It's only been three hours, let us continue grinding for a while!"

...

The top players of the first and second tests were somewhat reluctant to let go. It had been a long time since they had such a good time grinding monsters.

Seizing the opportunity, it was natural to indulge themselves at once!

"No! The Five Calamities of Heaven are intentionally sending out the same monsters to their deaths. Their purpose is to rapidly adapt to your attacks! If you continue like this, the Five Calamities of Heaven will see through the nature of your attacks and evolve the ability to be immune to them. That would be troublesome!" Piggy's Lair's Wulong quickly explained.

"Well... alright! But if we withdraw, what about the large Green Flame Corpse Beasts? The demon clan newcomers won't be able to handle them!" Starlight couldn't help but remind.

"Don't worry! I have a plan!"

"Alright!"

...

Starlight and the others nodded and quickly issued orders.

The top players of the first and second tests withdrew silently. Although the demon clan players couldn't AFK anymore, they were all excited.

"Hahaha, it's our turn again!"

"Brothers, charge!"

"Let's go all out!"

...

The demon clan players quickly charged forward.

While Starlight and the others were fighting, these demon clan players were also contemplating.

Indeed!

The Five Calamities of Heaven would adapt continually based on their attack patterns. In other words, even powerful skills like Devil Overturning Seal would be adapted to and completely analyzed and deciphered by the Five Calamities of Heaven. It then created the Green Flame Armor that completely countered the power of the Devil Overturning Seal!

It was like the battle between antibiotics and bacteria on Earth!

The antibiotics became stronger and stronger, but the antibiotic resistance of the bacteria also became stronger. They even evolved into super bacteria that were nearly immune to antibiotics!

To deal with such bacteria on Earth, there was virtually no solution.

However, in this cultivation world...

The forum's super expert, Demon Zhanshi Ban, had proposed a stunning insight!

Since the enemies observe and analyze our abilities to adapt!

Then...

If our abilities become random, becoming something even we ourselves can't predict, wouldn't that solve the problem?

Even if the Five Calamities of Heaven is formidable, they wouldn't be able to adapt if our abilities are random!

Furthermore...

Who said only the Five Calamities of Heaven can adapt and evolve?

We demon clan players can do it too!

While the top players of the first and second tests were fighting, the demon clan players of the third test were researching and analyzing. They quickly discussed countermeasures!

"Be cautious. If the demon clan players can't hold their ground, we'll move in to support!" After Starlight and the others retreated, they didn't let their guard down. Instead, they remained highly focused. If the demon clan players couldn't hold on, they would move in to provide support.

"Alright!" Just as Starlight was about to finish speaking, he widened his eyes.

"Finally, the time has come to use the third hidden card!" All the demon clan players grinned simultaneously, their mouths twitching. With a quick wave of their right hands...

"Appear!"

"Demon Disc Plate!!!"

With the loud roars of the demon clan players, a black metallic thread apparatus suddenly materialized on the right arms of all the demon clan players.

This apparatus consisted of two main parts!

One part was a card slot, stacked neatly with forty intention cards facing upward! It was also connected to a storage ring, allowing them to replenish cards from the storage ring at any time!

On the other side was a one-character card slot that could hold up to six cards!

The fixed outer edge of this one-character card slot already had one of He Yiming's formation intention cards placed on it!

"Damn! Isn't this the Duel Disk from Yu-Gi-Oh!?"

"Oh my god, this bunch of troublemakers! What are they doing?"

"Haha, did I walk onto the wrong set? We're in the Primordial Era now, resisting the Five Calamities of Heaven! Can you guys be normal?"

...

The other players felt that their old blood from several years ago was being stirred up by these troublemaking demon clan players.

"Random card draw!"

"Fusion!!!"

All the demon clan players skillfully drew two cards from the deck and instantly fused them!

"Extreme Cold and Five Fireballs, fuse! Flame of Extreme Cold Intention!!!"

"Martial Will of Certain Death and Infinite Divine Wood, fuse! Martial Will of Certain Death and Divine Wood!"

"Knife Intent Ghost Pierce and Sound Intent Vast and Boundless, fuse! Knife Sound Empty Sky!"

...

With the demon clan players skillfully drawing two random intention cards and automatically fusing them, each pair created a completely new intention power!

In this way, all these intention powers were entirely fresh, and they were also random. Until the demon clan players drew the cards themselves, they wouldn't even know which two intention cards they would get!

The top players of the first and second tests had nearly a thousand intention powers each. When combined in pairs, the possibilities for creating new intention powers were astronomical! Conservatively speaking, there were over a million possibilities!

Come on!

Five Calamities of Heaven, go ahead and try to analyze and decipher it again.

Will your analysis and decryption speed be faster, or will our infinite combinations overwhelm you?

"Attack!!!" At the next moment, the demon clan players unleashed an almost limitless variety of attacks, nearly five thousand of them, with almost no two attacks having the same nature. They erupted in a frenzy, directly obliterating the small Green Flame Corpse Beasts that covered the mountains and plains.

"Five-Headed Corpse Beast BoSS, leave it to us, the 3rd Corps of Starlight Temple! I'm the Deputy Commander of the 4th Division of the 3rd Corps of Starlight Temple! Listen to my orders! Mark the five BoSSes first! Armored demon players with enhanced defense, step forward to act as meat shields and hold back four of them. The rest, follow my lead and focus fire one by one!" One demon clan player commanded loudly.

"Understood!" In the area where Starlight was positioned, more than five hundred demon clan players quickly divided themselves into two groups.

One group consisted of five divisions. Armored demon players were designated to hold back the other four Green Flame Corpse Beasts, while most of the other demon clan players focused their attacks, targeting one of the Green Flame Corpse Beast BoSSes.

Meanwhile, the remaining three hundred demon clan players, the largest group in number, split off to deal with the smaller Green Flame Corpse Beasts.

Originally, whether large or small, these Green Flame Corpse Beasts were covered in green flame armor, greatly reducing the damage from attacks converted to demonic energy by demon clan players!

But...

Faced with the new evolution at this moment, where all attack powers were randomly assigned, even the demon clan players themselves couldn't predict the results. Moreover, every time the demon clan players drew new cards every incense stick's worth of time, they fused to create new intention powers!

Infinite combinations, infinite variations, complete randomness!
