I STACK ATTRIBUTES IN THE APOCALYPSE -MyOwnEdit-

The surveillance of Moonfiend and Lin Feng was interrupted within seconds. At this moment, no one could see what was happening in Lu Ming’s manor. However, that was no longer important. Moonfiend’s mouth fell open as she recalled everything she had just witnessed…

—Lu Ming, an Ascendant with 36 primordial Dao patterns.

The emphasis wasn’t on the 36 primordial Dao patterns for there were quite a few Ascendants in the world with that many primordial Dao patterns, and such power wasn’t enough to cause major concern in the eyes of the Divine Realm experts. The key was the speed at which Lu Ming had achieved them!

From zero to 36, it had only taken him three years!

After a long daze, Moonfiend suddenly shuddered.

“We can’t let this kid live!”

She made the judgment in an instant.

The voice of the Desolate Demon Lord behind her suddenly echoed.

“This kid is quite interesting…”

There was laughter and joy in the Desolate Demon Lord’s tone, along with a clear sense of appreciation. Moonfiend’s heart sank.

If Lu Ming had caught the eye of the Desolate Demon Lord, that would definitely not bode well for her.

Before Moonfiend could say anything, the Desolate Demon Lord spoke again: “Moonfiend, after capturing this kid, may I study him for a while?”

Admittedly, the Desolate Demon Lord was quite polite, but given his identity, status, and strength, when he spoke, Moonfiend had no option to refuse.

“Of course, that’s fine,” Moonfiend could only respond.

But in her heart, she continued to weigh the situation.

“If it’s just for study purposes, then that is fine. The Desolate Demon Lord might eventually return Lu Ming to me.”

“But what if it’s not just for study—what if it’s for talent retention? What then?”

As she pondered this, Moonfiend unconsciously squinted her eyes. The Desolate Demon Lord’s involvement made her feel like her revenge plan was slipping out of her control.

Inside Boshi Tower, in Lin Feng’s manor…

When Deng Miao was punched and shattered into blood and flesh, Lin Feng’s monitoring array—like a small appliance losing power—suddenly shut down with a puff.

“Monster!” he muttered.

He had long realized that Lu Ming’s talent and diligence were monstrous, but he had never fully understood the speed of Lu Ming’s strength growth.

Until now.

He finally understood what the word “monster” truly meant.

“Alright, I’m convinced,” Lin Feng admitted, resigned.

But then, his determination kicked in again.

“But I only admire your talent in cultivation, not your talent in the Dao of Array Formations! I, Lin Feng, haven’t lost yet!”

Indeed, he hadn’t lost. In fact, the situation was continuing to develop in his favor. Kebo’s impulsive and irrational attempt to capture Lu Ming had been unnecessary. Outside, the Blood Demon Gate had already opened, and Jeros the Ice Pillar Demon God had arrived. As long as Jeros could stabilize the gate, Lu Ming would have no way to escape!

Jeros was right above them. Even if Lu Ming wanted to take control of the Boshi Tower, there would be no room to maneuver. All Lin Feng had to do was survive long enough. Once Jeros is finished, Lu Ming won’t stand a chance. This was a dead end—Lu Ming’s dead end!

With this in mind, Lin Feng cast aside his earlier frustration. His expression returned to calm.

Looking at the tower-shaped runes before him, Lin Feng’s eyes flashed with determination.

“But I have to beat you. Yes, I must beat you! If I don’t, my Dao Heart will be unstable. I can’t take this lying down!”

Ever since arriving at the Three Elements Academy, Lin Feng had been constantly overshadowed by Lu Ming. At this moment, Lin Feng had developed an obsession: I must prove that I am stronger than Lu Ming!

This was his inner demon. In terms of raw strength, there was no comparison. But Lin Feng was determined not to be weaker in terms of formations.

While channeling his origin power to compete with Lu Ming for control of the Boshi Tower, Lin Feng gritted his teeth and spoke, “I’m definitely not weaker than you when it comes to array formations!”

It wasn’t just about his inner demons or obsession—it was about Lin Feng’s survival. If Lu Ming came for him before Jeros finished, Lin Feng’s only fate would be annihilation. His sole protection at this moment was the grand formation of the Boshi Tower. Lin Feng absolutely couldn’t afford to lose control of it.

“But there’s no problem,” he reassured himself. “How could you, Lu Ming, surpass me in the Dao of Array formations?”

Just then, Lin Feng’s expression stiffened, and his gaze froze. He sensed something. The speed of his control over the Boshi Tower was slowing. The cause? Lu Ming.

His array formation technique was growing stronger at an alarming speed.

“These clowns are wasting my time,” Lu Ming muttered after dispatching the small fry that had been harassing him.

With those trivial matters resolved, it was time to address the real issues.

Lu Ming was well aware of his current predicament. He knew that if he lost control of Boshi Tower, the consequences would be dire. He needed to raise his mastery of the Dao of Array formations as high as possible, and he needed to do it fast.

But mastering each new level required time to digest and absorb related knowledge. Normally, it would take too long to increase each level bit by bit.

But Lu Ming had an advantage: the Void Domain.

Before, the constant distractions had prevented him from entering the Void Domain without lowering his guard. But now, with those distractions gone, he could finally focus on the main task.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, he entered the void. Inside, Lu Ming opened his attribute panel.

“Add more points!”

Dao of Array Formation lv39→lv40!

In the blink of an eye, Lu Ming had upgraded his formation skills. But he wasn’t done.

“Add more points!”

Within three seconds, Lu Ming opened his eyes and returned to reality. His mastery of the art of formations had soared to lv50!

Controlling the core formation patterns, he observed the speed of Lin Feng’s attempts to invade. After momentarily obstructing him and confirming that Lin Feng no longer posed a short-term threat, Lu Ming once again sank into the void.

“Add more points!”

As his level in the Dao of Array Formations rose, Lin Feng became less and less of a concern. However, the looming threat from Jeros grew more imminent. Only by mastering the formations and using the Boshi Tower to its fullest potential could Lu Ming hope to barely survive in the coming conflict with the Divine Realm experts.

Cleaning the house couldn’t be rushed.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng slowly withdrew his hand, his face expressionless.

The invasion had failed. Completely.

Recalling the events that had just transpired, Lin Feng felt as though he was in a dream.

“How is this possible? How is this possible?!”
