Chapter 216 Xu Yang's Doubts (4000 Subscriptions Requested)
Time passes year by year.
Great beings like Chi Ming and Jin Lang who have cultivated to the Venerable level have long passed the period of rapid improvement. Some have even reached the end of their talents. When there is no further progress, only the benefits brought by life-and-death adventures and treasure hunts in secret realms can improve their strength.
For them, they don't care about the passage of time at all. It is common for a meal or a gathering to last for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Only those venerables who are keen on cultivating the bottom of the tribe will count the days like those low-level practitioners who are still struggling to survive. This is why Venerable Golden Wolf took the initiative to escort Xu Yang to the Space-Time Nightmare Beast Tribe to accept the inheritance of the God General.
Not every life that got caught in the rain when it was weak will hold an umbrella for the tribe after it becomes a great being. The Golden Wolf Venerable suffered so much when he was weak that he still hates those weak creatures. Even the younger generation of the Devouring God Wolf Clan, he has no intention of teaching them.
If it weren't for the fact that there were only two venerable members of the God-Devouring Wolf Clan, it and the Silver Wolf, and they were too busy to handle everything, it would have come out to drink and chat with these friends one by one to while away the days.
The Sky-Swallowing Overlord would usually only come out to steer the ship when something big was happening, and all small matters in the tribe were decided by him and the Silver Wolf after discussion.
……
In the blink of an eye, another 456 years passed, and this was the 684th year that Xu Yang had accepted the inheritance of the Burning Sky God.
Xu Yang finally arrived at the 5001st floor.
If it had been easy to deal with before, then at this level the pressure suddenly increased!
Because the number of assessment puppets on the 5001th level has doubled again.
This is not a simple arithmetic problem, not a straightforward addition and subtraction like 2+2=4. Before, when there were only two puppets, no matter how the two puppets cooperated, how they changed their tricks, or how mysterious and unpredictable they were, they were limited by the number of puppets and their ways of cooperating with each other were limited.
And now, there are four puppets. This is not only a dramatic increase in numbers, but also a complete change in tactics and strategy.
The four puppets mean that the possibility of coordination increases exponentially. They can weave a more complex and varied attack network. Every move and every style has more choices and more possibilities, aiming to test Xu Yang's extreme reaction and combat wisdom.
"There will be a big change every 2500 floors. There is a change in each of the three stages of the 10000 steps. If you can withstand it, you can continue to move forward. Otherwise, you will have to stop here." Xu Yang took a deep breath and thought about countermeasures while his mind was receiving the secret method.
5000 levels, already more than halfway through. "Burning Heaven Secret Technique" is a series of secret techniques, covering everything, whether it is the method of fighting, the method of defense, the method of escape, the method of saving life... all kinds of secret techniques are included. Compared with the current name, Xu Yang feels that "Burning Heaven Secret Technique Collection" is more appropriate.
"Huh. This is a set of claw techniques that contains triple strength. After practicing it, when you strike out with one claw, the triple strength will gush out. The first level has an amplitude of twenty times, the second level has an amplitude of twenty times, and the third level has an amplitude of thirty times. With the superposition of this strange secret method of exerting force, I can instantly increase the amplitude of my body to sixty times!" Xu Yang opened his eyes.
The 5000th level should have taught the basics and secret methods to increase the amplitude of one's body to 50 times, but the secret method that now came to one's mind was called "Triple Void", which exerted force in segments and could finally burst out with a terrifying amplitude of 60 times!
Three sections, twenty times for the first two sections, thirty times for the third section. If we do simple addition and subtraction, without considering the loss, the body amplitude should be seventy times. But this is the real universe, which needs to follow the laws and rules, so it is impossible to have no loss.
Even though it would consume some of the energy, this "Triple Void" is also a rare and unique skill! The only pity is that it is not spreadable, and only a divine body transformed by the Burning Sky Vine can practice this secret method.
This secret method can be regarded as a temporary burst secret method. Unlike the previous basic knowledge and body secret methods, it can allow the inheritor to permanently increase the body amplitude to a corresponding multiple. Permanent increase means that even if the user does not use this secret method or these moves, the body can still burst out with a corresponding multiple of amplitude!
However, the secret method of temporary explosion is different. If you want to reach that multiple, you must use this secret method to achieve it!
"It's a bit like the consolation prize given to the preliminary candidates who have climbed to the 5000th floor. If you can't go on, then I will give you a temporary secret method that can explode to 60 times the amplitude, so that you won't climb up to here in vain." Xu Yang seemed to be thinking about something.
Actually, Xu Yang was right. The Ancestral God Sect was tolerant of geniuses. The temporary burst of secret techniques and the permanent increase in amplitude multiples were naturally incomparable, but the preliminary candidates who could climb to the 5000th floor were already extremely outstanding inheritors. If calculated by probability, the immortals who climbed to this level had a % chance of breaking through to the Venerable!
Don't underestimate this 1% probability. In the universe, this probability is already extremely high. For geniuses who often have a chance to break through to the level of a Venerable, the probability of them breaking through to the level of a Venerable is often 1 in 10,000 or 1 in tens of thousands. But even so, it is enough to attract the attention of the tribe and allocate some resources to cultivate them vigorously.
Creatures who have the opportunity to break through to the level of Venerable are all the darlings of the universe. Those who have a 1% chance of breaking through to the level of Venerable are the darlings among the darlings. The Ancestral God Cult does not mind using a set of secret methods that can be replicated infinitely to establish a good relationship with them.
Ten Burning Heaven Days later.
"Wow~~~~"
Ripples appeared in space, and four puppets emerged. They were no longer dark red, but bright blood red, as if they were infected by the blood flowing from the bodies of countless living creatures. From afar, a pungent smell of blood came to the face.
Danger!
Xu Yang's hair stood on end and he squinted his eyes at the puppets flying towards him. A strong sense of threat came from the four puppets.
He was not afraid of fighting. His four claws were surrounded by deep red secret patterns, which transformed into a stream of red flames and rushed towards the puppet.
"Roar~~~~"
One of the puppets, which looked like a four-hoofed beast dripping with crimson blood plasma and had two triangular heads, stood out with a low roar, and turned into a beam of blood light and rushed straight towards Xu Yang. Its speed was so fast that it reached the true speed of light! It was only because the Burning God General had suppressed the void inside the inheritance and did not allow the dark universe to shuttle, that it did not enter the dark universe.
"Humph!"
A cold light flashed in Xu Yang's eyes, and he raised his right claw, as if he was going to slap it straight down.
A hint of joy flashed in the blood-red eyes of the four-hoofed beast puppet, and it growled, raised its two front hooves and stomped down fiercely. At the same time, its two triangular heads suddenly fell off its neck, and the spine was connected with a rustling scarlet iron chain, which wrapped around Xu Yang's right claw like two poisonous snakes, entangled and bit his two shoulders.
Rustle~~~~
It was like the sound of twigs drawing through the air.
Xu Yang twisted his waist violently, and his wolf tail drew a red track in the air, as if tearing through the space, and with a force that should not be underestimated, it rushed straight towards the "flying head" of the four-hoofed monster puppet that was rushing towards it.
However, in the blink of an eye, a scorpion-like puppet tail needle pierced through the space behind the alien beast puppet and hit Xu Yang's tail like a whip. A cunning flashed in the eyes of the four-hoofed alien beast puppet, and its flying head shrank. Its body twisted strangely in the air, narrowly avoiding Xu Yang's powerful right claw attack.
"Humph, quite clever!"
Xu Yang secretly praised in his heart, but he was not in a hurry. His body flashed and turned into a stream of red light. He retreated a little. The red secret patterns on the four claws became more and more dazzling, like a burning flame, illuminating the surrounding space with a red. The combat mode of four puppets is indeed completely different from that of two puppets. Just now, he wanted to use his tail to surprise attack the four-hoofed beast and kill one first, but the scorpion puppet quickly supported him and extinguished Xu Yang's hope. If it was before, Xu Yang attacked one and the other came to support him, and he was not afraid at all and could fight at the same time, but now it is not possible, because there are two puppets waiting beside him. If he attacks rashly, he is likely to fail.
After all, his current body only has a hundred thousand times the power of a Realm Lord. The four assessment puppets are no less powerful than it in terms of paper data alone, and can also burst out with an amplitude of sixty times!
The only thing that can be said is that these puppets are not very "smart" and cannot be as flexible and adaptable as real living beings.
……
When the strange beast puppet saw Xu Yang retreating, its two triangular heads let out deafening roars at the same time, and the scarlet iron chains on its spine made a rustling sound. They turned into two blood-red whips, and lashed towards Xu Yang with a sharp sound of wind.
As if the horn of attack was blown, scorpion puppets, humanoid puppets, and liquid puppets like water streams all rushed forward!
Xu Yang was agile and dodged left and right, but he also did not forget to fight back. Every strike of his claws was accompanied by a loud bang that tore through the air, and he fought hard with the four puppets.
He now needs to figure out the movements of these four puppets and what attack moves they have.
Over time.
The battle became more and more intense. The figures of Xu Yang and the four puppets kept intertwining in the space. Every collision seemed to tear the sky and the earth apart, releasing terrifying energy fluctuations.
Xu Yang seemed to have turned into a puppet, tireless, each attack becoming more and more ferocious, as if he had endless power.
"It's been five minutes since the start of the battle, and I finally figured out your moves. Now! Make way for me!!" Xu Yang's eyes were as sharp as torches, and suddenly burst into divine light. Finally, in this fierce confrontation, he caught a tiny flaw in the four-hoofed monster puppet - every time it launched a 'flying skull' attack, the scarlet iron chain on the spine would loosen for a moment.
"This is the time!"
Xu Yang was delighted, and he used the secret method of "Triple Void". He suddenly jumped up, like a cheetah hunting, and rushed straight to the spine of the alien beast puppet. His right claw drew a perfect arc in the air, accurately grasped the loose scarlet iron chain, and pulled it hard!
"Crack!"
With a crisp sound, the spine of the four-hoofed beast puppet was torn out by Xu Yang! Without the support of the spine, the four-hoofed beast puppet's movements suddenly became slow, and the two triangular heads also lost their previous might. Xu Yang's claws took the opportunity to continuously smash the core hidden under the puppet's neck.
Finally, the four hooves of the strange beast puppet fell weakly to the ground.
"boom!!!"
With a loud bang, the body of the alien beast puppet was instantly torn into pieces, turning into light spots all over the sky and disappearing in this space.
Before he could even catch his breath, the other three puppets attacked.
Fighting breaks out again.
Xu Yang and the three puppets intertwined in the air, creating brilliant red tracks. Each collision was accompanied by terrifying energy fluctuations, as if they were about to tear the space apart. However, Xu Yang found a flaw in the four puppets' encirclement by guerrilla warfare, not to mention that there was one less puppet now.
The strength of these three puppets is almost as strong as the shattered four-hoofed monster puppet, but in terms of difficulty, the liquid puppet among them that looks like a stream of water is the most difficult!
The liquid puppet's shape is as unpredictable as flowing water. It does not have a fixed shape, but can flow and deform at any time, as if it is made of invisible water. This makes it difficult for Xu Yang to find the exact point of force for each attack. Whenever his fist claw is about to hit, the liquid puppet can flow quickly, unloading most of the force, making the attack like hitting cotton, without any force.
What made Xu Yang even more headache was that the liquid puppet could constantly change its form during the battle, sometimes turning into a water dragon to entangle him, and sometimes turning into a water shield to resist Xu Yang's fierce attack.
The only good news is that the liquid puppet seems to have sacrificed its attack power for its powerful survival and defense capabilities.
So Xu Yang simply put the liquid puppet at the end and let it harass him and ignored it.
Focus on dealing with the scorpion puppets and humanoid puppets.
Up to now, from four puppets to two puppets, Xu Yang's pressure has been greatly reduced, which actually gave him some free time to think about how he can be more comprehensive.
Suddenly, the eight arms of the humanoid puppet fell down like giant hammers, accompanied by the scorpion puppet's tail needle that pierced through the void!
However, at this critical moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Xu Yang's mind.
"From the one puppet at the beginning, to the two puppets after the 2500th floor, and then to the four puppets now. If the pattern is correct, I will face eight puppets after the 7500th floor. I am already under great pressure when the four puppets surround me, so how will I deal with it when I reach the 7500th floor?" Xu Yang murmured, various information, moves, secret methods and a lot of insights emerging in his mind.
To be fair, Xu Yang felt that he was definitely one of the best among the immortals. His only shortcoming at the moment might be his lack of understanding of the laws.
But the problem is, in the inheritance of the Burning Sky God, everyone has the power of a hundred thousand times that of a Realm Lord, and they all use the Burning Sky Secret Technique, so there is no difference at all!
With Xu Yang's comprehension, trump cards, and strength, he felt that the four puppets were very oppressive. He really couldn't think of what kind of monster could break out of the encirclement of the eight puppets and finally obtain the inheritance of the Burning Sky God!
Burning Sky God, a cosmic overlord-level inheritance, is actually so difficult to obtain.
"There must be something I missed. It's impossible that there is no way to pass it on." Xu Yang blocked the hammer of the humanoid puppet and scratched its core with his claws. "Don't worry, I still have plenty of time... Maybe the real answer is hidden in the second stage of the palace."
As he spoke, Xu Yang looked up at the 6666th floor, where there stood a dark red palace that had stood for ages.
