Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor-Chapter 880 - 174: Elf Project (Part 2)

[Trait 1: Panyi Root: When in contact with the earth, it continuously absorbs earth energy, strengthening itself with an indestructible trait]

[Trait 2: Mysterious Seal: When attached to a surface, it releases a mysterious power that completely immobilizes the target and seals all its actions, protecting it from external interference and damage.]

[Trait 3: Earth Vein Burst: This mythical artifact can activate the earth veins, and the surging green spiritual light greatly enhances the Jilun Wind, boosting the effects of life magic within range with systematic enhancement.]

The Elf Empress mentioned from the beginning that this item is not for sealing monsters, but for self-enhancement.

Of course, in the later stages, if we can lock the monster within a certain area using this item, changing strategies would not be impossible.

Looking back now, it seemed that the Elf Empress Yunning specifically mentioned the function of this item during the combat meeting to let Lin Rui know how to counteract the effects of the Dark Sky.

As Shadow Moon fully activated the Dark Sky, it is now the time for the World Vine to be used.

Its first trait can strengthen itself with an indestructible trait.

The second trait allows it to anchor in one place, immovable, and immune to external interference and damage.

The two traits combined essentially form a weakened version of a permanent Sub-Invincible Shield.

If the opponent is relatively weak, this is almost an indestructible permanent Sub-Invincible Shield.

Lin Rui calmly took out the World Vine and said to Audrey, "Activate the mythical artifact, we'll sit back and watch. The real intense confrontation hasn't started yet."

Audrey immediately took out the World Vine from the storage space, and to ensure the effect of this mythical artifact, she clung tightly to Lin Rui, holding his arm, and said, "Father, we should stay close. Maybe the two World Vines can entwine like us. This means we have double the protection of the vines."

It sounded quite logical; after all, don't vines naturally intertwine?

Lin Rui didn't object and directly activated the World Vine.

When the World Vine was activated, the surrounding air seemed to solidify, followed by a powerful energy wave rapidly spreading. Green light burst from every cell of the vine like sparkling stars in the night sky, and countless vines wove into a vast green net in the air, swiftly spreading downward to shelter Lin Rui within.

These roots, as hard as rocks, dug deep into the earth. They continuously absorbed Earth's energy, strengthening themselves, imbuing the entire vine structure with an indestructible aura. Feeling the surging energy, Lin Rui's previous worries were greatly alleviated. The energy wasn't fixed; as the vine activated, mysterious power began flowing on its surface. When one spot was attacked, it would unceasingly draw Earth's power to enhance its defense.

What amazed Lin Rui the most was the Earth Vein Burst phenomenon brought about by the activation of the World Vine. Green spiritual light burst from the ground like the Spring of Life, nourishing everything around. Under this spiritual glow, Lin Rui felt his life force continuously increasing, as if every cell in his body was cheering.

These rays weren't dazzling but carried a peaceful and warm aura. They danced in the air like living elves. Every leaf and branch they touched seemed invigorated, growing more vibrant and lush.

As the light spread, subtle changes began occurring in the surrounding earth. What was once barren started sprouting buds, and these buds rapidly grew at a visible pace, transforming into a dense forest stretching thousands of meters. Enclosed in the lush forest, Lin Rui was utterly inconspicuous, making it difficult to spot him even with a close look.

It's practically a natural ghillie suit, making Lin Rui and Audrey disappear into this sprawling forest stretching thousands of meters.

The effectiveness of the mythical artifact was truly beyond Lin Rui's imagination!

No wonder it's a mythical artifact, impressive enough to affect thousands of meters!

Meanwhile, a few kilometers away, the elves also widely activated their mythical artifacts. However, to Lin Rui's surprise, they weren't gathering together but spreading out like a formation.

Green luminescence lit up sequentially in various corners of the Dark Sky, but, unfortunately, Lin Rui couldn't rise into the air and was clueless about the elves' moves.

Yet, looking at this network and the positions of nodes, they were undoubtedly setting up a magic array.

After all, the third trait of this mythical artifact is named Earth Vein Burst!

This mythical artifact can activate the earth veins, and the surging green spiritual light greatly enhances the Jilun Wind, boosting the effects of life magic within range with systematic enhancement.

Systematic enhancement!

This is a domain mythical artifacts shouldn't normally access. Only Holy Spirit Level artifacts involve rule changes.

But if numerous mythical artifacts activate the earth veins like array eyes, forming a magic array, it's uncertain.

No one could tell what changes Jilun magic might undergo in the center of this magic array.

Audrey also noticed this issue and asked Lin Rui, "Father, do you feel our shield is constantly strengthening? It seems like I've also grown much stronger. Wait, the monster's Life Value is also rapidly increasing!"

Lin Rui immediately looked toward the blood-colored demon shadow in the center. It now seemed on the verge of being overplayed!

Massive red blood energy and surging green life spiritual energy were rapidly expanding on it; its power was escalating wildly!

Lin Rui felt a tingling on his scalp: "These guys are truly insane, still empowering this monster, aren't they afraid it might go out of control and backfire?"

Before Lin Rui could contemplate the elves' intentions further, Audrey pulled at his arm anxiously with a sob: "Father, Father, look at me! I seem to be on the verge of breaking too; what should I do?"

Lin Rui turned to see Audrey's body inflating like a balloon, with surging spiritual energy converging into her!

Lin Rui only needed a few seconds to pinpoint the issue's root.

It's the effect of the Dark Divine Artifact: Shadow Robe!

[Ability Three: Shadow Absorption: A wearer and a certain troop from their clan can absorb life force or Spiritual Energy Value by contacting enemy shadows, boosting their own power. Absorb 1% of the opponent's maximum per second and automatically activates upon engaging in battle. Reduces by 2% per second after disengaging from battle.]

Lin Rui had wondered if this would affect the demon shadow before.

It turns out the effect was undoubtedly in action!

This is a divine artifact; why wouldn't it work on a monster? This Shadow of Evil, while powerful, lacks a mythical artifact, so why resist the artifact's effects? 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Mythical Traits, as upper-tier traits, should naturally affect the demon shadow.

Even if the will gap between the two is vast, absorption might slow slightly, but monsters can't escape it.

Even 1% of the monster's spiritual energy is astronomical, let alone 0.1%.

So, while the monster was growing stronger, Audrey served as a vent, continuously siphoning spiritual energy.

Pretty soon, Shadow Moon frowned, having noticed: "What's happening? The monster's strengthening rate is significantly below expectations."

A druid beside him asked, "Could it be human intervention?"

Shadow Moon, confused, frowned with slight unease: "Did the academy learn of our plans by some unknown means? But the problem is, the monster indeed grows stronger, just 10% slower than predicted. Let's not overthink it; proceed as planned."
