A total of 25 rare skill advancement books.
Two unique skill advancement books were synthesized, and after consuming 20, there were still 5 remaining.
This thing, seemingly, can currently only be obtained inside the Gate of Immortality, and it requires waiting until the next time entering the Gate of Immortality, and must also reach the World 33 to obtain.
Without waiting that long, Zhang Yue directly consumed these 5 rare skill advancement books.
Coincidentally, in the list there were also these five normal skills: Blazing Inferno, Icebound World, Divine Demon Shelter, Shift and Shadow Exchange, and Divine Flame Catastrophe, all of them were upgraded to rare level in one go.
From normal skill to rare skill, the leap includes not only improvement in skill damage, but each skill also gains a special effect.
For example:
Blazing Inferno can bring to the enemy an unremovable burning damage effect.
Icebound World gains a passive effect: every attack has an 8% chance to freeze the enemy for 1 second.
Divine Flame Catastrophe: Every divine flame has a 30% chance to knock back the target and interrupt the target's current casting…
One must admit, although the strength of rare skills is far from that of unique skills, at least compared to normal skills, they're much stronger.
The next mission was to guard the Resurrection God Stone, and wait for Long Two, Xuan Lan, and the others to revive.
At this moment, Zhang Yue's mood was somewhat excited.
Zhang Yue's original plan was to, within the coming month, reascend to the peak, catching up to the top 1 Beacon Nation's progression in the Otherworld raid.
As long as Wolong, Hidden Dragon, and Empress Xuan were around, Zhang Yue was confident that within half a month, he could accomplish this goal.
Not an exaggeration.
Because the term "power-leveling" may have always existed in the professional player's world, but ordinary professional players, even if power-leveled by advanced players, though they may progress quickly, in the end, cannot absorb the value that should come from advanced worlds.
For instance, a professional player stuck in the power tier of the World 20, if dragged by an advanced player, may suddenly rush to the World 40 or 50.
During this time, lacking tempering in the major worlds, in the end, it's like an empty shell. Once the assistance of the advanced player disappears, the person is still a nobody, possibly even unable to kill a low-level monster in a high-level world.
The most prominent aspect is, Energy.
Energy cannot be donated, can only be obtained through one's own efforts. This is something even advanced players can't help with.
The higher the world, the more Energy required. If one reaches high-level worlds too quickly and loses the ability to gain Energy, and can't farm lower worlds due to overleveling leading to severe reward drops. In the end, most professional players who used this method to charge into the Otherworld worlds become trash.
But Zhang Yue is different.
With the bonus of unlimited Energy, what he needs is to rush into the Otherworld worlds as quickly as possible.
Unable to adapt to high-level worlds, this principle doesn't apply to Zhang Yue.
Of course, besides that, there's another matter.
The Three Main Gods.
Although Zhang Yue's current strength is already enough to solo-kill the Lord of Wrath Jie'e, the other two Main Gods have not yet appeared, and it's still unknown what their strength level is.
It's just that, if their strength is still suppressed, and they're still at the quasi-king-level BOSS standard from a hundred years ago, then the worlds will soon face a catastrophe.
Once Long Two revives, the first thing Zhang Yue wants to do is to learn from him information about the soul of the other two Main Gods.
Only by finding their soul essence can he take control of the other two Main Gods in advance.
Well, not entirely for the sake of world peace. To some extent, Zhang Yue does have selfish motives.
That is, each soul of the Three Main Gods is a super divine artifact.
If he could have the blessings of the Three Divine Souls, he wouldn't need to wait until the late stage. In the early to mid-game, Zhang Yue might already ascend to godhood.
At this moment, Zhang Yue suddenly seemed to think of something.
He summoned Wolong, and asked him, "What do you think, how did the Three Main Gods escape from their seal?"
"This question, I've also pondered for a long time," Wolong said thoughtfully, "Logically, if they had the power to break the seal themselves, why wait until a hundred years later to do it?"
"I observed the World 60 [Infinite Abyss] where we sealed the Three Main Gods a few times back then. The seal did indeed show signs of external destruction, belonging to outside forces, not internal force breaking out from within."
Zhang Yue said thoughtfully, "It seems, indeed someone intentionally released them."
As the conversation reached this point, an image appeared in Zhang Yue's mind, that warrior clad in golden armor.
At this time, Wolong said with some doubt, "But when we sealed the Three Main Gods and left the Infinite Abyss, we activated the map's owner-binding system. The guardian player of the Infinite Abyss recognized you, me, Long Two, and Sister Xuan Lan as the owners. There's no way anyone else could have entered the Infinite Abyss easily."
Zhang Yue asked, "Where is the guardian player of the Infinite Abyss now?"
Wolong shook his head, "I searched throughout the entire World 60 and didn't find any trace of him, not even a hint of his aura."
"There's only one possibility, he's already dead."
"That guy, able to kill the guardian player of the World 60? That shouldn't be possible…", Zhang Yue frowned slightly.
Wolong asked, "Master, have you already figured out who's behind the release of the Three Main Gods?"
Zhang Yue did not hide anything from Wolong, "Previously in the Gate of Immortality, I found the fatal lock of the Lord of Wrath. Just as I was about to use the soul to absorb the Lord of Wrath's spirit, someone suddenly appeared and rescued him."
"His strength was evenly matched with mine."
Zhang Yue's words shocked Wolong, "A professional player who can enter the 22nd world Gate of Immortality means their level doesn't exceed 125."
"In the same level range ,there's a professional player who can match your strength?"
Zhang Yue said, "From what we see now, it should be that guy who killed the guardian player of the Infinite Abyss, and released the Three Main Gods."
"Or he used some means, but he's definitely involved."
Wolong nodded, "If what you said is true, that person shouldn't have been able to enter the World 60. Moreover, the guardian player has an invincible setting inside the Infinite Abyss. Even with my current level 500 Tier 9 strength, I couldn't kill him inside the Abyss. Unless the enemy lured him outside to kill him."
"But being a king-level BOSS, the guardian's intelligence makes it absolutely impossible for him to be so easily deceived and leave the protection of the Abyss…"
"Unless, it was a familiar person committing the crime?"
At this moment, Zhang Yue and Wolong looked at each other simultaneously.
Wolong: "If I say I didn't do it, Master, will you believe me?"
Zhang Yue: "What do you think?"
