Chapter 301: Heart Refining Seed, Heart Refining Armor, Heart Refining World
boom!
The thoughts were carried by the system through endless time and space, across the eternal river, and returned to the ocean of the universe.
Wow.
Xu Yang's three bodies trembled at the same time for a moment, with fear flashing in his eyes. This time he obtained the secret technique completely different from before. If the previous "stealing way" was easy, he only needed to make a choice according to the system prompt, and the secret technique would be poured into his body like a trickle, allowing him to practice slowly in the future...this time, he personally engraved the magic pattern in the depths of his soul, and personally experienced the pain as if he was being cut into pieces by a thousand knives.
When his mind returned to his body, the elusive, real and illusory magic patterns flickered on it, like the most hidden stars in the night sky. Waves of faint burning power passed through the magic patterns and slowly seeped into every cell of his body, bringing an unprecedented sense of condensation. The engraved magic patterns did not disappear like a flash in the pan. Although they no longer tempered his will as violently as when they were first imprinted, they continued to play a role like a long stream, making his will more resilient.
After this tempering of his will, Xu Yang's soul seemed to have been cleansed and become purer. His eyes were no longer filled with the previous shock, but had become much brighter. The effect of removing the dross and retaining the essence and discarding impurities was beyond imagination.
The abnormality only lasted for a moment, and the three bodies were now alone, so there was no need to worry about others seeing this transformation.
Xu Yang took a deep breath and completely suppressed the remaining fear. His expression gradually returned to its usual calmness and composure. He felt the tenacity of his will and felt happy again.
Although this was painful, it did allow him to find a way to success. Willpower at a low level does not significantly improve combat power, and is generally only used to resist illusions. However, there are very few strong people in the original universe who are good at illusions (compared to those of other schools). Therefore, at least at the level of the Venerable or even the Lord of the Universe, strong people will begin to pay attention to willpower and work hard to improve it.
However, there is no secret method of will that has been circulated in the entire universe. If one wants to practice, one can only go to dangerous places to hone one's skills. Not only are these places extremely dangerous, but there is also no quantitative feedback, and the efficiency of practice is extremely low. One can only rely on years of slow practice.
And now, Xu Yang has mastered the God-King-level secret technique of "Refining the Demonic Hundred Tribulations". As long as he can endure the pain, he will surely be able to continue to climb up in practice.
"As expected of a book written by a super-powerful person at the second level of the Divine King Realm, every word and sentence is so profound and mysterious. Even if it is the same sentence, the feeling of reading it before and after the magic pattern is engraved is completely different."
In the kingdom of God, Xu Yang lay down with his eyebrows slightly raised.
"I wonder how many times I can bear the magic pattern engraving and the magic fire burning?" Thinking of the pain, Xu Yang still felt a lingering fear, but since he had chosen to fight, there was no reason to retreat. He sighed and said, "I will take a rest for a while, and then try to continue engraving the magic pattern."
Close your eyes and start preparing yourself mentally.
Ten years later.
Xu Yang opened his eyes, his eyes flickering, and he murmured: "This secret technique must have extraordinary attack power, but I haven't received any attack means transmitted by the secret technique yet. I think the burning of the devil fire I have endured is not enough..."
"Then... let's do it again!"
The spirit vibrated at a specific frequency, thoughts were like ink, the void was the canvas, and magic patterns that looked like the branches of an ancient black tree began to spread... Half an hour later, the second level of magic patterns of "A Hundred Tribulations of Demon Refining" was engraved in the void.
This magic pattern was a hideous and terrifying human face, as if it had been distorted to the extreme due to painful torture. If it weren't for the fact that the facial features could still be seen, one would probably have thought it was a child's doodle.
The magic pattern fell, ignoring Xu Yang's body and falling directly on his mind.
Then Xu Yang's body suddenly stiffened, as if it was tightly clamped by an invisible giant clamp. Every cell in his body groaned in pain at this moment. The devil pattern, like a living ghost face, slowly imprinted itself into the depths of his soul, carrying endless resentment and pain.
It was so hot that it seemed to melt him.
The resentment seemed to turn him into a ghost.
For a moment, his forehead was quickly covered with dense beads of sweat. Although he was clearly a divine body, at this moment he seemed to have returned to the moment when he had just traveled through time, covered in wounds. His long wolf lips were tightly pursed, and the skin covered by black hair showed an abnormal blush.
This pain was even more intense than the first time it was engraved. It was like countless tiny sharp blades cutting and carving his soul. Every breath was accompanied by a trembling of his soul's will.
There seemed to be a burning smell in the air, it was the smell of a soul burning in fire. Xu Yang seemed to be able to hear the faint cry coming from the depths of his soul. It was the fear of pain. It was an instinctive reaction that was not subject to his will.
All he could do now was to prevent his body from screaming out.
I don’t know how long it took...
Finally, when the last trace of magic pattern was completely integrated into his soul, Xu Yang's body suddenly relaxed, as if he was pulled back from an endless abyss. He gasped for breath, sweat poured down like rain, and his eyes flashed with a light as if he had survived a calamity. It was the relief after experiencing extreme pain.
Feeling the new power in his body, although exhausted, Xu Yang's heart was full of satisfaction and anticipation.
It feels so good to once again clearly feel the feeling of enhanced willpower!
When practice brings clear feedback, it is hard not to get addicted!
What's even more amazing is that after each burning of the magic fire, Xu Yang's tolerance to the pain of the magic patterns will be invisibly improved.
If Xu Yang had experienced the second level of magic fire right from the start, his will would have probably collapsed. However, after experiencing the first level of magic pattern first, his tolerance limit was raised, and even if he was still very painful to undergo the second level of magic fire, at least he would not be in danger of a collapse of his will.
Unless it is a cliff-like rise, such as the rise of will in each major realm: the leap from the will of the Lord of the Universe to the will of the strongest in the universe, the leap from the will of the strongest in the universe to the will of the True God of the Void... this can only be achieved with the long-term burning of magic fire and the assistance of other opportunities.
Close your eyes, continue to rest, and calm your inner throbbing.
Thirteen years later.
Open your eyes again and engrave the magic pattern!
This third level of magic pattern seemed to be shrouded by endless death, along with a sharp howl and endless gloomy wind.
Xu Yang's eyes were extremely calm and he accepted it frankly.
Live in extreme pain.
Close your eyes and take a rest. This is not your limit yet.
Open your eyes...
Close your eyes...
Over and over again, the cycle continues...
However, every time Xu Yang experienced the burning of the devil's fire, he needed a longer rest period, unlike the first two levels where he only needed to rest for a few decades to recover before being able to accept it again.
...Time passed, eight thousand years later.
Xu Yang stood alone on the top of the sacred mountain, watching the thick clouds floating below him.
There are 108 levels of magic patterns, but Xu Yang only completely engraved nine levels before stopping temporarily. On the one hand, the tenth level is the realm of true god-level will, and on the other hand, with his current ultimate will as the Lord of the Universe, he already has a very powerful secret killing move to learn, so he needs to stop and think carefully.
"Levels one to nine are the realms of the Lord of the Universe. Now I am only one level away from reaching the level of true god-level will." Xu Yang pondered, "Moreover, for wills of the same strength, there are two different concepts with will-killing moves and without will-killing moves. There is a world of difference between them."
The use of power is far more than superficial accumulation, but rather a deep understanding of the rules and essence.
In the ocean of the universe, many creatures who do not have the ability to kill with will are like a student who has mastered basic arithmetic. Faced with the complex, ever-changing, and difficult use of will, they can only rely on the most primitive and direct release and collision.
Even those strong ones who possess true god-level willpower will only use their willpower to defend, or directly release their willpower to crush opponents of a lower level.
The legend says that the Original Ancestor used his will to enslave the mechanical race, but this was only the result of speculation and discussion between him and other book friends on the forum in his previous life. As for how the Original Ancestor made the soulless mechanical race, the Lord of the Universe, recognize him as his master, it will forever remain an unsolved mystery.
Or is it something you cultivated yourself?
Who knows.
"The willpower killer move is the product of the perfect fusion of willpower and spiritual realm. It can not only make my power exert an effect beyond imagination, but also is a way to reach the sky." Xu Yang thought secretly in his heart, his eyes became more determined, "Even if it is a true god of the illusion school, the virtual true demon god, what he is exposed to is only the combination of law and soul, and the application of will is very superficial, which is far from being a willpower killer move."
The real killing move of will can not only crush the weak, but also wipe out the same level and even defeat the strong. The so-called illusion sinking of the Xuzhen Demon God is just using his true god-level will to crush the weak of low level. For the true god powerhouses of the same level, his illusion is almost useless, and he can only rely on close combat.
The killing move of will transmitted by the ninth level of magic pattern is called "Heart Refining Tribulation".
"The Heart Refining Tribulation, the purpose of this move is to temper the mind and also to burn away external enemies. To truly master this move, I must first breed the all-important Heart Refining Seed in my heart." Xu Yang muttered silently in his heart, his eyes closed, and the magic patterns surrounding his will seemed to sense the master's intentions, and began to flow slowly according to the secret technique, releasing a faint fluorescence.
Deep in his consciousness, in a non-existent void space, Xu Yang used his own will as a guide to gather the purest magic fire energy from the magic patterns around his body. This magic fire was different from ordinary magic fire. It burned will, faith, and the tenacious part of the heart of a living being. It was also the most blazing magic fire every time Xu Yang engraved a breakthrough.
One, two...nine flowers in total, their colors gradually deepened, entwined with each other. Ordinary creatures would be aroused by lust and burn to death just by looking at them.
Xu Yang carefully manipulated his will, like Zhang Fei embroidering, slowly compressing and condensing this power until it turned into a tiny but powerful seed - the Heart Refining Seed.
There is a deep devilish flame flowing on the surface of the seed, but inside it is filled with endless vitality. It is the product of the perfect fusion of Xu Yang's will and the power of devilish fire. It is not only a tempering of one's own will, but also a weapon to fight against all challenges from the outside world.
"After refining the mind, the next step is to completely merge it with my own will to form a unique will killing move."
The same technique, due to the different wills of different practitioners, will be manifested in different forms!
Xu Yang's mind moved, and the Heart Refining Seed seemed to respond to his call and slowly merged into the ocean of his will. In an instant, an unprecedented surging power surged in the depths of his soul.
With the integration of the Heart Refining Seed, the aura around Xu Yang also underwent subtle changes. At first glance, he seemed as unshakable as a rock, but in the next moment, he seemed as soft and unsupported as the clouds in the sky.
Every bit of will is both hard and soft, and contains a terrifying force that is ready to be unleashed.
Heart Refining Seed: It can form a heart refining armor inside to block the invasion of the wills of other strong people. It can also release a heart refining world outside, which contains all kinds of heart refining sufferings. If the will of a strong person falls into it, he can survive if he can hold on, but die if he fails.
What Xu Yang needs to do next is to construct the Heart Refining Armor and the Heart Refining Realm first.
His willpower was like flexible silk threads, intertwining and entwining, gradually forming a layer of seemingly thin armor gleaming with a faint glow around his will. But in fact, this layer of armor was not only extremely tough and able to resist the invasion of external will, but also able to feed back to Xu Yang at critical moments and enhance his willpower.
This is the most basic and fundamental core killing move of the secret art of will created by the Demon God King.
If you want to kill someone, first prepare yourself to be killed.
With this layer of Heart Refining Armor, unless it is a desperate situation like the three desperate places in the universe sea that can kill the will of the True God of the Void, otherwise the ordinary dangerous places that target the will of the True God will not be as easy as walking on flat ground for Xu Yang now, but at least his life will not be in danger.
The secret art of will from the Origin Continent has the ability to fight across levels. After all, compared with the extremely prosperous cultivation system of the Origin Continent, these strong men in the Universe Sea can only be regarded as primitive people holding spears.
Only the two holy places are better, after all, their ancestors have gone through reincarnation, but they are not doing very well, and the good ones are limited.
After finishing the armor, Xu Yang turned around and began to construct a world of mind refining that seemed both real and illusory.
This is a terrifying realm that needs to be guided and nurtured by the abyss of his will. It transcends the logic of reality and integrates the deepest fear and despair in the hearts of countless living beings extracted by countless demon-refining gods and kings, constructing a trial hell that is both illusory and real, gloomy and weird.
Here, every wisp of air seems to carry an ancient curse, every piece of land hides unspeakable secrets, demons and monsters are rampant, and an eerie and terrifying atmosphere permeates every corner.
I think that in order to refine this infinite terror, the Demon God King must have committed endless killings.
"This area is where the dark forest is." Xu Yang whispered to himself.
As soon as he finished speaking, a large group of trees twisted into various strange shapes were placed at the entrance to the Lianxin Realm, as if countless souls twisted by pain were wailing silently. In the woods, faint green lights flickered in the darkness. They were wandering resentful souls. They suffered endless torture in their lifetime and turned into evil spirits after death. They wandered in this forest, looking for someone to confide their pain to.
Any living being that sets foot here will become their target and be entangled in endless fear and despair.
"The Soul Devouring Swamp will be released later."
Passing through the dark forest, Xu Yang created a land of death called "Soul-Eating Swamp".
The surface of the water here is as calm as a dead mirror, but under the water are countless huge mouths waiting to devour living things. In the swamp, resentful souls of various shapes lurk in it, some of them have sharp fangs, some have eyes that can penetrate the soul, and others can control the dead air in the swamp to form a terrifying undead army.
"Then there's Devil's Crying Ridge."
Countless cursed souls roam here, wailing, roaring, or whispering, as if they want to drag the souls of the living into endless darkness.
……
As the heart-refining modules were put down one after another, the heart-refining world was gradually perfected, and Xu Yang's mouth curled up involuntarily. (End of this chapter)
