I STACK ATTRIBUTES IN THE APOCALYPSE -MyOwnEdit-

Lin Feng was certain of one thing…

In the beginning, the strength of his array formations wasn’t particularly impressive. But the way events unfolded later on completely derailed him!

In the array formation battle against Lu Ming, Lin Feng could clearly perceive that Lu Ming’s understanding of the Dao of Array Formations was progressing at a rapid and utterly unreasonable pace. From being far weaker than him to matching him, to surpassing him—finally setting up barriers effortlessly, leaving Lin Feng completely powerless.

And this dramatic series of changes took place within a single minute!

His hands began to tremble involuntarily. His nose ran, and tears started streaming down his face. Lin Feng’s mind went blank. Suddenly, he screamed, crying and laughing as if he’d gone mad.

“Oh no!”

“It’s all f*cking over!”

Failure. This was a colossal failure.

He could already imagine Lu Ming appearing before him, delivering a blow that would turn him into nothing but a meat patty. As for himself, he wouldn’t even have the chance to resist. He couldn’t even use the array formation to teleport out because he no longer had any control over the Boshi Tower.

He was trapped.

It felt as though he’d been locked in a cell, awaiting his inevitable end, as if he were sentenced to execution.

The more he thought about it, the crazier Lin Feng became!

“I’m the Son of Fortune!”

“I can’t lose!”

“I won’t die either!”

“I absolutely won’t die!!”

As his crazed roars echoed, the Boshi Tower trembled suddenly. Lin Feng looked up in surprise. He sensed a cold and magnificent aura creeping into the tower from outside.

It was as though…

A divine being had turned their gaze toward this place.

The expression on his face shifted from despair to ecstasy in an instant. Wiping his snot and tears, Lin Feng let out a crazed howl.

“What did I say! What did I say!!”

“I knew it! I’m the destined one! How can I die at your hands?!”

“Look!” He pointed outside and shouted, as if Lu Ming were standing behind him. “God is here!”

“Lu Ming, you’re dead this time, right?!”

Meanwhile, outside in Xuanshui City…

The roaring Divine Origin Tide had finally calmed down. A faint golden light slowly covered the Blood Demon Gate, dyeing it in a golden hue. At this point, Jeros had completed the permanent solidification of the gate.

“Phew…”

The sound of heavy breathing came from Jeros. His massive body slowly shrank until it stood at around 10 meters tall. He then turned around, his gaze passing through Moonfiend and penetrating countless layers of the Ten Thousand Devil Abyss, falling on a towering figure within.

“Dead? Or alive?”

As he spoke, the voice of the Desolate Demon Lord resonated from the depths of the abyss.

“Alive. Try to keep him alive.”

“Jiu Han’s stance is unclear. He’s still a wild card. He might not die on the side of the Eternal Divine Master. If I can capture his disciple and the teachers and students of the Three Elements Academy, we may have a chance to pull Jiu Han into our camp.”

“And even if we can’t, we can use it to restrict Jiu Han’s actions. In any case, a living hostage holds more value.”

Jeros nodded immediately. He took a step forward and passed through the Blood Demon Gate, arriving at Xuanshui City’s territory. His gaze shifted toward the Boshi Tower, and a dark, sinister smile slowly appeared on his lips.

“The game is over, bugs…”

A chilling aura filled with Divine Origin surged from Jeros’ body. The cold condensed into a massive hand nearly a kilometer long, shooting straight toward the Boshi Tower!

The massive icy hand grasped the tower’s tip. With a single thought from Jeros, the hand began to pull upward, as if attempting to lift the Boshi Tower from the ground.

The Boshi Tower was the last line of defense for Xuanshui City, the Three Elements Academy, and its inhabitants. The tower housed most of the academy’s teachers, students, and some civilians from the city. It was a sturdy barrier protecting them, but, in a sense, it also acted as a prison, confining them within.

Once Jeros took the tower, no one inside would be able to escape. All of them would become prisoners, fully under the control of the Ancient Demon Clan.

And for someone of Jeros’ strength, dealing with the Boshi Tower should have been effortless. After all, he was in the Divine Realm, and the Boshi Tower was merely an artifact whose power had been taken away by Jiu Han.

Lin Feng, though a hidden piece inside the tower, had proven to be somewhat useless. Still, his invasion of Yao Yue’s Divine essence into the Boshi Tower had effectively dismantled the last vestiges of Divine power within it.

The tower’s defensive formation struggled to stabilize the Boshi Tower, but the cold hand continued pulling, easily overpowering it.

The defensive formation was completely defeated.

Boom!

The tower began to tremble. Gradually, with the force of the icy hand, it started to rise into the air. But then, countless formations within the Boshi Tower began to shimmer. These were the built-in defensive arrays.

The defensive array sought to stabilize the tower, while the hand of cold air tried to lift it. The two forces clashed, but in the end, the defensive array was powerless in the face of the Divine Origin.

“Heh… and that’s why I’ve never had much respect for formations or alchemy,” Jeros sneered. “They’re nothing but shortcuts. Divine artifacts, divine medicine… what are they, really? Empty names. Without Divine Origin, they’re worthless.”

Jeros increased his strength once more, expecting to finally pull the Boshi Tower into his grasp.

But the reality was different from what Jeros had anticipated.

Suddenly, a loud bang echoed.

The Boshi Tower sat back in place, refusing to budge no matter how hard Jeros pulled. His icy hand couldn’t move it.

“Hm?” Jeros frowned. “What’s going on?”

A golden light began to rise from within the tower, catching Jeros’ attention.

That light was the Divine Origin.

But that didn’t make sense. There were no gods inside the Boshi Tower. No one should have access to Divine Origin!

At first, Jeros thought he must have been seeing things. But as he continued to tug and pull with no success, he slowly came to realize the truth.

It was Divine Origin!

Dismissing the cold hand, Jeros fell into contemplation.

After a long silence, he turned toward the Ten Thousand Devil Abyss.

“What’s going on?”

“Where did this Divine Origin come from?”

After a moment, the voice of the Desolate Demon Lord echoed from the abyss.

“How would I know?”
