Chapter 300: "Demon Refining Tribulation"! The most painful secret technique of refining t

"Huh." Xu Yang exhaled, coming back to his senses from the scene just recalled by the system. In his eyes, he still saw the shocking scene of the endless gray-white insects carrying the corpse of the god floating up. "It is really a great existence beyond imagination. I still have a long way to go in the future."

Wow!
After the retrospection was completed, the system began to do its job. In the void in front of Xu Yang, a series of secret art covers projected in the air appeared.

"As expected of the Lord of Chaos, he has mastered so many valuable secret techniques." There was surprise in Xu Yang's eyes. At a glance, the number of covers in the void in front of him exceeded 100,000!
The duration of existence of each Chaos Lord is an astronomical number that cannot be counted. They have gone through countless epochs, witnessed the birth and destruction of countless treasures, and accumulated unimaginable knowledge and power.

Naturally, the number of secret techniques and skills mastered were countless. Xu Yang's eyes swept over the covers of these secret techniques. Each cover exuded an ancient and mysterious atmosphere, as if each one contained endless power and wisdom.

"What are the secret arts of will?" Xu Yang had a clear goal, and he searched directly from the top of the cover of the secret art that was suspended in the air.

Even for the Lord of Chaos, the powerful secret art of will is not easy to come by and is definitely one of the most precious ones.

These covers are all phantoms and very thin. Xu Yang only needs to scan them with his mind to know the general situation of the secret technique.

"The secret method of reincarnation? There is even this in it. However, my spiritual will is only at the level of the master of the universe. Even if I master it, reincarnation is just seeking death." Xu Yang was surprised by the first secret method. Was it a surprise? Definitely a surprise.

After all, this is a secret method of reincarnation. If Xu Yang possessed the mental will at the peak of the Chaos Realm, he could now directly reincarnate in the Origin Continent.

"The Immortal Body of Thunder Ze": Temper the divine body, melt the essence of myriad thunders, transform the mortal into the spirit, and after one thousand and eighty-one thousand eons of uninterrupted smelting, one can become the Immortal Body of Thunder Ze.

Xu Yang looked at the body refining method with envy, this one looked better than his current "Glorious Golden Body" at a glance, but it was not something he could covet now. Not to mention what the Essence of Ten Thousand Thunders was, simply the time of one thousand and eighty-one million epochs was not something he could afford now!

To put it simply, the time exchange between the Origin Continent and the Cosmic Sea is that ten thousand epochs is equal to one cosmic era!
That is to say, even if Xu Yang got this secret method now and practiced it smoothly, he would have to wait until the original universe destroyed 10081 times before he could truly master it... With so much time, why not do something else... Thinking of this, Xu Yang suddenly felt that this "Lei Ze Immortal Body" was not so attractive anymore.

Chicken ribs.

The thought continued to sweep downwards, and Xu Yang's eyes suddenly lit up!
Got you.

"The Hundred Tribulations of Refining the Demon": It was created by Lianmo, the king of the ancient Red Kingdom. Lianmo was a powerful Divine King at the second level, with a strong will and true spirit. He once spread his fame on the Continent of Origin. At the beginning of cultivation, he needed to use his mind to outline the magic patterns and induce the magic fire of refining the underworld to temper his will, which was extremely painful. He needed to go through one hundred and eight magic patterns and one hundred and eight times of magic fire tempering. After complete transformation, his will could reach the Divine King level.

"It's actually a secret technique of will that can directly point to the realm of God King!" The more Xu Yang flipped through it, the more shocked he became, but also the more surprised he was. He didn't expect that this divine corpse would have such a good thing.

Originally, he thought he would make a profit if he could get a Chaos Lord-level secret technique from the divine corpse, but he didn't expect to make a huge profit!
The second level of God King realm is already the top one, except for a very small number of powerful beings and the two ancient countries that have existed since time immemorial. Even the original body of the hermit, the God King of Jin, cannot compare to him... Moreover, this demon refiner is a powerful person who specializes in the true spirit of will. I am afraid that the will secret arts he created are not much worse than those secret arts treasured in the major forces of the Origin Continent.

"But I think this secret technique will be castrated by the system's magic modification, otherwise it is definitely not something I can covet now." Xu Yang is very self-aware. The God Corpse mastered the "Hundred Tribulations of Demon Refining" during his lifetime, but judging from the battle between him and the Chaos Beast's reincarnation, he must not have mastered the secret technique of "Hundred Tribulations of Demon Refining", otherwise, with such a powerful God King-level secret technique, even if the Chaos Beast was one level higher than him, it would definitely not be forced to reincarnate to escape.

"It's a good thing that it's difficult to practice. This proves that it's a good secret technique!"

In his mind, Xu Yang had marked "A Hundred Tribulations of Demon Refining" as a backup. If there was no better secret technique of willpower next time, he would just choose it.

His eyes turned to the right, continuing to flip through the cover of the secret technique in the void.

"Inner Demon Purgatory": Led by the inner demon, after going through the nine levels of purgatory, the will can reach the state of chaos.

Xu Yang's gaze stayed on this secret technique for a moment, but he quickly shook his head. Although this secret technique could reach the Chaos Realm if practiced to the extreme, the inner demon was the practitioner's greatest enemy. If one was not careful, he would be devoured by the inner demon. He did not dare to try it lightly.

The previous "Hundred Tribulations of Demonic Refining" is about tempering the mind and will through extreme pain and the burning of demonic fire. Although it is difficult, at least there will be no worries. Even if you can't continue practicing, you can stop in time.

But this "Inner Demon Purgatory" can stir up the inner demon and sink into purgatory. If one is not careful enough to break free from the purgatory that he has created for himself, he will probably sink completely and become a body without a soul. After all... the one who knows oneself best is always the self in one's subconscious mind, and the prison that one has created for oneself is also the most solid.

Therefore, even though it was recorded above that one only needed to go through nine levels of purgatory in order to reach the Chaos Realm with one's will, which was far less than one hundred and eight times of devil fire refining, Xu Yang would not choose it.

After reading through countless secret arts, Xu Yang thought that there were only these two secret arts of will and no new ones. Suddenly, his eyes fixed on the cover of a secret art book that emitted a faint blue light.

"The Void Walker" (incomplete): Taking the void as the way, walking in the invisible, the body and the void merge into one, wandering freely and dispersing, and being able to gather together, the will can reach the state of chaos.

Xu Yang's heartbeat quickened slightly. A fragment of a technique could actually hone one's will to the level of chaos? How powerful would the complete version be?

The void is invisible and intangible, yet it is everywhere.

He removed the covers of the rest of the secret techniques, leaving only the two simple volumes of secret techniques, "The Hundred Tribulations of Demon Refining" and "The Void Walker", in front of him, and pondered carefully which secret technique he should choose.

After a long silence, Xu Yang finally decided to choose "The Hundred Tribulations of Demon Refining" which has a clearer practice route.

He gently pushed open the cover of the secret technique of "Void Walker". Although this secret technique was equally powerful, as a fragment, it had too much uncertainty and the risk of practicing it was higher. At present, he needed a more stable secret technique that would allow him to clearly see the path of progress.

He can wait until he has a broader vision to learn the secret art of "Void Walker" and then come back to see if he needs to pick it up again.

After making the selection, a determined look flashed in Xu Yang's eyes. Choosing "The Demonic Tribulations" means that he will face unprecedented challenges and pains, but this is exactly what he is pursuing.

He believed that only through the most severe trials could the strongest will be tempered.

Even if one endures a lot of hardships, he or she may not necessarily become a superior person, but if one does not endure hardships during the process of cultivation, he or she will definitely not become a superior person.

Even the most brilliant geniuses have to endure hardships during their training. The kind of training where one reaches the highest level by lying down all the way is only possible in novels imagined by novelists.

"'The Demonic Tribulations' has been decided to be yours." Xu Yang's voice echoed in the empty void, revealing a kind of determination and expectation.

The system sensed Xu Yang's intention and a pop-up window popped up -

[Have you chosen "The Hundred Tribulations of Demon Refining" (magic modification)? ]

【Yes! 】

A flash of light passed by, and the thin book of secret arts turned into a thick book of secret arts. Even though it was condensed from the void, the image carrying this terrifying secret art also revealed a texture that seemed real, as if it was some kind of membrane that had just been peeled off from a living creature. It was bloody, white, and terribly cold.

Xu Yang opened the book and began to carefully read every word and every detail of "The Demonic Tribulations". The practice method of this secret technique is extremely complicated, requiring extremely high mental concentration and ultimate control of the will. Although he cannot read the complete version of "The Demonic Tribulations" now, the modified version has been improved by the system just right.

He closed his eyes and began to slowly outline the first layer of magic patterns according to the instructions in the secret technique.

Thoughts were like a sharp chisel, slowly carving in the void. Every stroke condensed great will and determination. The first level of magic patterns was extremely complex and consumed half an hour of Xu Yang's time... As the magic patterns gradually took shape, ripples began to appear in the surrounding void, as if some kind of power was awakening.

Complete engraving of the first level of magic pattern!

The magic pattern in the void suddenly shrank and fell on Xu Yang's thoughts which seemed to be tangible. In the blink of an eye, Xu Yang's face began to change subtly.

On his forehead, the magic pattern stretched out like a living thing, gradually covering his eyes, making his eyes obscured by a layer of strange black lines. These lines were deep and complex, as if containing endless burning and pain.

The severe pain came without any warning.

Xu Yang's facial muscles began to twitch unconsciously, and the power of the magic pattern flowed down along his head like tiny snakes and worms wriggling, covering his nose bridge and cheeks to his chin, making his expression look extremely hideous.

The corners of his mouth involuntarily rose, revealing a twisted smile, but there was no warmth in this smile, only endless pain and coldness.

His thoughts began to slowly fade and were being rapidly consumed, as if his vitality was being slowly drained away by these magic patterns...Xu Yang's entire face at this moment was like it had been scratched by the devil's claws, and it was distorted to the point that he could no longer control his expression.

His breathing became rapid, and every breath was a struggle against the pain in his body.

The pain from the depths of his mind did not defeat Xu Yang. His eyes were extremely firm, with a hint of madness that refused to surrender, and there was no sign of retreat!
This is just the beginning. If you can’t even bear the first level of magic pattern and start to wail, then what’s the difference between you and a waste!!!
As the magic pattern spread deeper, Xu Yang faced more intense pain.

Xu Yang curled his claws into fists, his sharp nails deeply embedded in his palms, but he seemed to feel no pain. Compared with the pain of burning from the magic patterns and magic fire, this pain was really nothing to mention.

Finally, the magic pattern gathered at the tip of Xu Yang's tail, completing the outline.

However, the burning power of the magic pattern also reached its peak at this moment!

boom! ! !
Will reflects reality, and the invisible magic fire seems to burn the void around Xu Yang's thoughts and make it collapse.

The power of the magic pattern raged in his body, as if it was going to tear his body apart. His face became even more ferocious, and his teeth were clenched tightly, making a rattling sound. The power was so great that it seemed like it would break at any time, but he still held on, not allowing himself to utter any painful groans.

At this moment, Xu Yang seemed to have turned into a demon walking out of hell. His face was no longer the gentle young man in his previous life, nor was he the new master of the universe from the demon clan. Instead, he was the embodiment of power and pain.

There was an unyielding light in his eyes. Under such painful torture, he clearly and quantifiably felt the improvement of his will for the first time. If his will was a piece of crude iron forged in chaos before, then the magic patterns and magic fire were now using the most violent forging to remove the dross from his will and retain the essence!

"Come on, let the pain be more intense!"

Xu Yang roared and shouted directly, roaring with a bit of madness. The body formed by his mind began to emit a faint light, which gradually turned from faint to thick. It was his will that was rising and his soul that was being tempered.

The first magic pattern tempering is almost over...

hum!
The intense pain suddenly disappeared, as if it had never existed.

But the pain disappeared so quickly that he was unable to react for a moment. He stood there, his body trembling slightly, his face still ferocious, but the light in his eyes gradually changed from madness to confusion.

He had just prepared himself for even more intense pain, just like a warrior gripping his weapon, ready for a life-and-death battle, only to find that the enemy suddenly disappeared without a trace.

This sudden change from extreme pain to tranquility made him feel an indescribable emptiness, and a sense of loss surged in his heart, as if the strong will he had just built up suddenly lost its target.

call.

Take a deep breath.

"This... is it over?" Xu Yang murmured to himself. His tense will slowly relaxed. His mental body no longer emitted that strong light, but gradually returned to calm. Only the slowly fading magic patterns on his face still retained traces of the tempering just now.

Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths, and calm yourself.

This transformation from extreme pain to extreme tranquility is also a process of refining the mind.

Not until Xu Yang's mind had completely calmed down did he hear the countdown of the system.

“Soon to return.”

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

After taking a deep look at the divine corpse embedded in the cliff, Xu Yang lowered his head to look deeper into the Chaos Demon Abyss. It was pitch black, and he couldn't see clearly what was below with his eyesight.

"Even the middle level has this kind of God King-level secret technique left behind, so what about the lower levels? Who is this terrifying existence that even the Chaos Beast dare not fall on?"

The sounds on different levels are destined to be heard only by Xu Yang himself.

Before he could finish his words, his thoughts were swept away by the system and disappeared. (End of this chapter)
