With godlike talent from the start, how did he become invincible?

Chapter 162 Undercurrents in the Abyss

While he was powerful before, it was mainly reflected in the destructiveness of his attacks. But now, he felt as if his "health bar" had become a bottomless pool of blood, indestructible!

"Life recovery effect increased by 300%... plus the automatic mana and health regeneration from [Star Resonance], my current survivability and recovery ability are probably even more insane than some bosses!"

He stared intently at the third effect, which meant that in the heat of battle, as long as he wasn't instantly killed, he could recover at an astonishing speed.

"Physical damage reduction of 20%!"

Upon seeing the fourth effect, Lin Tian's eyes flashed with even greater brilliance.

"With my current skyrocketing physical defense, the elemental shield from the [Robe of All Things], and the resurrection from the [Holy Light Orb]... I'm practically a war fortress disguised as a mage!"

He felt that even if he were to be careless for a moment and get hit by a few solid blows from a physical-type BOSS of the same level, it would probably be like a tickle.

Survival capabilities have made a qualitative leap!

As for the last mysterious "Divinity +5%", Lin Tian did not fully understand its specific function, but with the acquisition of two divine-level passives, he could vaguely feel that he was getting closer to the "root" of this world. It was a mysterious and profound understanding.

"Hahaha! Great! That's fantastic!"

Lin Tian couldn't help but burst into loud laughter, his laughter filled with joy and pride.

"These 100,000 upgrade points were even more worthwhile than last time! The massive increase in stamina provides a real guarantee of survival! Now I can both fight and withstand attacks!"

He swung his arm forcefully, creating a low, explosive sound, feeling the explosive power contained within his muscles. Although he was a mage, his high stamina also brought him basic physical strength.

"Looks like my decision was right! Prioritizing the upgrade of passive skills with high base stats yields the greatest benefits!"

He concluded with satisfaction, his eyes filled with anticipation for the future.

"Following this line of thinking, the next goal is either [Focus] or [Swiftness]! I want to push all the core passive skills to god-like level!"

"Then," Lin Tian's lips curled into a confident yet slightly arrogant smile, "I'll see who can stop me in this battle for supremacy across all realms!"

......

The abyss, the city eroded by darkness.

The throne room was eerily silent.

The flickering eerie green flames on the wall seemed to freeze, not daring to make the slightest crackling sound.

Beneath the throne, the abyssal demons trembled with utmost caution, for they could sense the chilling killing intent emanating from the throne, an intent powerful enough to freeze the soul.

Kael'thas stopped tapping his fingers on the armrest.

died.

Two level 60 Shadow Hunters, his capable lieutenants skilled in stealth and assassination, have both fallen.

The air in the hall seemed to have turned into a viscous liquid, so heavy that it was hard to breathe.

After a long silence, a deep, guttural sound, like the roar of the abyss itself, slowly rolled out from Kael'thas's throat:

"Lin Tian"

These two words seemed to contain endless rage and icy coldness, causing even the massive Molten Giant below to flinch.

"Okay, very good."

Kael'thas slowly rose from his throne, the shadows surrounding him dancing wildly as if they were alive.

"It seems my dear niece has found an incredible 'support'."

He had previously thought that Celia had simply gotten lucky and found a slightly stronger adventurer as a temporary refuge.

But now it seems that the situation is far from that.

The fact that Lin Tian was able to so cleanly and efficiently resolve the combined sneak attack from Shadow Claw and Ghost Fang shows that, even with Celia's assistance, this human's strength has definitely reached a level that requires a reassessment.

He even suspected that Celia might have shared some of the power of the [Abyss Blood Core] with Lin Tian.

"A forced arrest would come at too high a price and could easily alert the enemy and attract the attention of those old guys in Luoxia City."

Kael'thas returned to his throne, his fingers beginning to tap rhythmically again, but this time, the pace was faster and the tone more agitated.

"We need to try a different approach."

His gaze pierced through the castle walls, as if he could see the distant human capital city—Luoxia City.

"Since it's difficult to make a move while he's in the city... let's lure him out."

A sinister plan quickly took shape in his mind.

"Pass on the order!"

Kael'thas's voice echoed throughout the hall.

"Assemble a demonic army, target—the 'Abyss Fortress' north of Sunset City!"

A commander from the Abyss below looked up, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes:

"My lord, the northern fortress is heavily fortified. We suffered heavy losses in our previous attempts to probe it. Why...?"

"A feint attack!"

Kael'thas interrupted him, a calculating glint in his dark eyes.

"Make as much noise as possible, but don't fight to the death. Our goal is to put pressure on Luoxia City, forcing them to send reinforcements and issue an emergency mission!"

A cruel smile curled at the corner of his lips:

"That Lin Tian is so exceptionally strong; Luo Xia City will definitely summon him in this kind of 'crisis.' Once he leaves the protective area of ​​the main city's barrier to support the fortress... that will be the perfect opportunity for us to make our move!"

He looked toward the deepest part of the shadow beside the throne, where an even more terrifying aura seemed to be slumbering.

"This time, I'm going to personally prepare a 'big gift' for him."

Kael'thas muttered to himself,

"The failures of Shadowclaw and Ghost Fang will not be repeated."

......

Lin Tian was unaware that another enormous conspiracy in the abyss was already enveloping him like a spider web.

He was basking in the thrill of his rapidly increasing strength.

Lin Tian slowly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp and restrained, yet the surging life force around him was difficult to completely conceal.

The transformation brought about by the god-level [Body Strengthening] was astonishing. He felt his vitality was as vigorous as a humanoid dragon, and it seemed that he had inexhaustible power within his body.

"Unfortunately, I've run out of upgrade points again."

Lin Tian glanced at the panel and saw that he only had a little over 30,000 upgrade points left. He shook his head helplessly.

Upgrading the [Shadow Low Magic Staff] and [Chaos Emblem] to SSS rank, and pushing [Fitness] to God rank, almost all of the tens of thousands of upgrade points I had accumulated were used up.

"We need to find another place to play as soon as possible."

He pondered to himself,

"Furthermore, anti-stealth and tracking capabilities must be prioritized."

The theft by Deng Yi and the trouble he faced during the pursuit made him realize the indispensability of such auxiliary skills.

He decided to contact Zhang Tianya later and ask the War Alliance guild to keep an eye out for relevant skill books or item information.
