Chapter 476: Countermeasure
As Lu Bai activated [Disable] against Blood River Ancestor, in an instant, the myriad stars formed by the ability light spots in his eyes instantly dimmed.
It could still be read, with no damage; it was just that Blood River Ancestor could no longer use these abilities.
In this situation, Lu Bai naturally no longer needed to maintain [Steel Body].
He quickly replaced [Steel Body], transforming into a streak of rainbow light that broke through the floodwaters and transferred to a high slope that wouldn’t be submerged by the flood for the time being.
On the contrary, Blood River Ancestor, who had lost the usage rights of his abilities, was clearly caught off guard and fell into the floodwaters all at once.
After about thirty seconds, he transformed into a pool of blood and floated up from the floodwaters.
“How is this possible?”
Blood River Ancestor’s face was smeared with mud, making him look quite disheveled.
This was [Disable], and he immediately realized that he could no longer use [Disable].
Black Level abilities obviously possessed uniqueness.
At the same time, the Deathmatch System could not forcibly ignore the influence of system authority; it could only counter with authority of the same level.
In a certain sense, these system authorities were actually components of the Deathmatch System itself.
Only by possessing these system authorities could it be considered the Deathmatch System itself.
Blood River Ancestor knew Lu Bai could plunder abilities, but he really hadn’t expected that Lu Bai could even plunder this authority bestowed by the Heavenly Dao.
This was simply unreasonable.
Based on the cognition he had developed in the Cultivation World, Heavenly Dao Authority was not something so easily stolen.
But no matter how intense his inner emotions were, it couldn’t change the facts right before his eyes.
That was, he now really had to consider what to do if he couldn’t take down Lu Bai.
To avoid Lu Bai striking first, Blood River Ancestor, regardless of anything, randomly wrote over the abilities Lu Bai possessed, ensuring that every ability Lu Bai had was given unbearable side effects.
Of course, this definitely did not include Black Level abilities.
Abilities that had been written over, although existing in the “recycle bin,” could only be restored and not written over again.
If restored, they would simply be returned to their original owners.
Lu Bai chose to restore [Wind Riding (Modified)] and found that after this ability disappeared, he immediately gave up the idea of continuing to try.
As expected, the [Wind Riding (Modified)] ability should have already returned to Li Shan.
This was very troublesome.
Without abilities of various levels for actual use, the pure Black Ability really didn’t have much room for operation.
Blood River Ancestor also quickly realized this.
His eyes lit up: “There’s still hope.”
If neither side could use abilities, then he, who had cultivated Blood Refining Demonic Cultivation, would absolutely have the advantage.
After obtaining [Disable], Lu Bai turned to start reading Blood River Ancestor’s [Write].
The priorities of [Read] and [Protocol], these two system authorities, were not as high as [Write].
As long as he waited to read [Write] as well, the overall situation would basically be settled.
Now it was a race against time; he needed to ensure he didn’t stay too far from Blood River Ancestor while not being killed by Blood River Ancestor before [Write] finished reading.
The difficulty was still very high.
However, it was much better than the previous situation where he had no power to fight back.
“Die!”
Blood River Ancestor rode the waves forward, different from the previous terror attacks that could destroy heaven and earth at every turn.
His cultivation time in this world was still short, so his power definitely couldn’t match the exaggerated level from the Cultivation World, but his killing intent was absolutely more resolute.
With a wave of Blood River Ancestor’s large hand, hundreds of tiny blood droplets shot rapidly toward Lu Bai.
Like countless bullets firing, leaving Lu Bai no space to dodge.
Unable to use abilities, Lu Bai’s physical fitness was actually only a bit stronger than an ordinary person.
Facing these countless blood droplets pressing forward like a wall, he absolutely couldn’t dodge.
Fortunately, he still had a backup plan.
Or rather, it was titles that he had always overlooked and often felt were completely useless.
Frenzied Slaughter (Four Stars), Ultimate Murderer (Four Stars), Destroy Heaven and Earth (Four Stars).
The three Four Star achievement titles were equipped by him.
Heavy pressure materialized, centering on his position and diffusing in all directions.
To the point that even the sky above his head was dyed crimson by the blood-drenched titles.
Yes, killing intent materialized; under the combination of these three achievement titles, it was no longer an exaggerated adjective but an actual description.
The crimson heavy aura directly forced the numerous incoming blood droplets to slow down.
It was as if they originally only needed to break through the resistance of the air, but now, besides the air’s resistance, they also needed to resolve this layer of air wall formed by the gathered bloody killing aura.
Compared to abilities with various effects, the effects of titles were almost all passive.
Moreover, compared to the diverse abilities, their effects could only be said to be better than nothing.
Before this, Lu Bai had never imagined that he would one day have to rely on titles.
After all, the opponents he faced in the Deathmatch Arena could almost always be resolved directly with the various abilities he possessed, and most of the time, these titles had no place to shine.
But at this moment, the previously neglected titles bloomed with a completely different brilliance in his hands.
“This is impossible!”
Blood River Ancestor had already lost count of how many times he had shouted these words.
From the start of his fight with Lu Bai, he had been continuously shocked by Lu Bai’s performance.
No matter what new moves he brought out, Lu Bai could crack them and turn danger into safety.
Every time he felt smug, thinking he could resolve Lu Bai immediately, a change of circumstance would appear.
He now even suspected that if the Deathmatch System provided him with new system authority again, would Lu Bai still have other ways to cope?
Plus Lu Bai’s previous experience of becoming a Heavenly Venerate in the Cultivation World on the same day.
Lu Bai’s ability to persist until now, with endless means and even on the verge of turning the tables, really made it hard for him to muster any fighting spirit.
In other words, he was somewhat convinced by Lu Bai.
The help the Deathmatch System provided him was already enormous; he knew how absurd these abilities and system authorities were.
But the more so, the harder it was for him to generate the will to continue opposing Lu Bai.
Lu Bai cautiously stared at Blood River Ancestor floating on the floodwaters; he didn’t know what Blood River Ancestor was thinking and didn’t dare to relax.
This method of manipulating blood could be said to be at most Gold level ability degree.
Normally ignorable, but now not to be underestimated.
It must be known that the effects of these titles were more for intimidation, and their actual effect was hard to say how much.
He stared at Blood River Ancestor without speaking, worried that normal words falling on Blood River Ancestor’s ears would be seen as provocation.
As long as the other didn’t make a move, he wouldn’t actively change the current situation.
