Chapter 373 The real master, the virtual realm!

Xu Yang jumped and climbed all the way up, not missing any palaces along the way. He pushed open the doors one by one to check, but unfortunately, all the palaces, no matter how big or small, no matter how dilapidated or not, looked like they had been looted by criminals. There was nothing on the ground except the golden rubble that could not be taken away.

Even with Xu Yang's temper, he couldn't help but feel depressed: "This damn Golden Glory Demon God, he robbed too thoroughly at the beginning!"

After nearly three days of searching, Xu Yang finally searched every part of the palace except the top, but found nothing.

Standing on a rock protruding from the hill, overlooking the path and square below, Xu Yang couldn't help but murmur softly: "What kind of opportunity did Jin Huang get in the first place, so that he can still split himself at the True God stage!"

You must know that when a strong person breaks through from the Lord of the Universe to the True God realm, his soul imprint, clones, and everything must return to their origin. Even if one has many clones in the Lord of the Universe stage, after reaching the True God realm, after tracing back to the source and merging, he will not be able to continue to have clones.

But the Golden Demon God was not among them. Xu Yang clearly remembered the description of the Golden Demon God in the original novel: "Jin Huang, the strongest in the universe, was given the title 'Golden Demon God', also known as 'Golden Boy'. He was originally a strong man from the Dream Erosion Clan, one of the seven peak clans in the second reincarnation era. Later, due to a special encounter, his life changed and he looked a bit like a demon child carved out of gold. He had thirteen pairs of arms and could be divided into 13 clones!"

"According to the intelligence I got from the tribe, Jin Huang became famous in the universe after he came out from here." Thinking of this, Xu Yang looked up at the only place in the palace complex that he had not visited yet. It was also the highest point in sight. It seemed to be built on a high-upright palm, and was shrouded in the center by five giant mountains like pillars of heaven. It was magnificent and incomparable.

Without any more hesitation, Xu Yang began to climb to the highest point, but his speed was very slow. Although he had not passed through many ruins, he knew that the more precious things a place contained, the more dangerous it was.

Just as Xu Yang was moving towards his goal, in the endless black abyss below, the black chains on the burly figure had all faded away, leaving only an extremely thick chain like a black magic dragon across the center of his neck.

But he didn't care. These chains were set by him in the beginning, mainly to suppress this remnant thought so that it could last longer. Therefore, it was only a matter of time before he could remove these shackles.

Moreover, if it weren't for the fluctuation of "Glorious Golden Body" on Xu Yang's body that awakened him from his slumber, he would not care about such a small Lord of Laws at all. Intruders like those in the past who entered this world were handled by the auxiliary intelligence he left behind.

The burly figure waited for the chains on his neck to dissolve, while he held up his chin with interest and looked at the palace complex above: "See if you are qualified to be recognized by me."

……

After twisting and turning, Xu Yang jumped up and finally arrived at the square in front of the hall.

The main hall was very grand, at least tens of millions of kilometers tall. The square was also enormous. Standing on the edge, Xu Yang felt like sesame seeds dropped on a dining table. As for the five huge peaks towering next to it, they were only visible halfway up the mountain. The upper part was obscured by a layer of dim mist that looked like clouds and fog, and could not be seen clearly.

The divine power picked up a piece of gravel and threw it towards the slightly distorted illusion in the dim mist.

With a loud "boom", yellow light flashed.

As soon as the extremely hard golden gravel came into contact with the dim mist, it immediately disappeared, as if it had been swallowed up. With Xu Yang's observation ability, he naturally noticed that the color of the mist that swallowed the golden gravel had darkened to an almost undetectable degree.

"Another height limit." Xu Yang was not surprised at all. Even the golden gravel would be swallowed up. The intensity of the dim mist was probably stronger than the sky.

Step by step, Xu Yang walked towards the palace gate.

He stopped at the door and looked up at the door.

Simple, vicissitudes, heavy...

There was not a single unnecessary decorative pattern on the bright yellow door, it was like an extremely smooth bronze mirror, on which Xu Yang's image was reflected.

The palace door was not tightly closed, there was a gap of half a palm width.

Xu Yang took a deep breath, exerted all his strength to the extreme, and slowly placed his claws on the ancient and heavy door. The door felt cold and hard, as if it was the skin of a giant beast from ancient times, faintly emitting a mysterious and powerful aura.

As his muscles, which were as strong as a treasure, rose up and exerted force rapidly, the door slowly opened with a dull and long "boom" sound, like the roar of an ancient beast, echoing in the empty square.

Every inch of pushing required a tremendous amount of effort. Xu Yang clenched his teeth involuntarily, trying to squeeze out every bit of strength in his body.

When the door was pushed open enough for Xu Yang to enter sideways, a strong airflow blew in his face, bringing with it an old and mysterious breath, which made him squint his eyes slightly.

The scene reflected in his slightly narrowed eyes made him hold his breath instantly.

The hall is very spacious, and the huge space seems to have no end. The surrounding walls and the door are made of the same material. It is extremely simple but has an alternative minimalist beauty. The light projected from a hole on the top of the hall is refracted by the surrounding walls and illuminates the entire hall as bright as day.

In the center of the hall, there stood a towering golden statue. The statue looked like a burly man with thirteen pairs of arms, stretching out in all directions as if embracing the whole world. Each arm held a mysterious treasure, emitting colorful light...

But as of now, seventeen arms are empty, and only nine arms are still holding treasures. They are shrouded in a hazy light, and it is impossible to see clearly what is inside.

"Treasure...Golden Glory..."

Looking at the statue, Xu Yang's mouth suddenly felt a little dry. It was just a statue without any life or vibration, but the pressure that settled deep into its veins was like a jack, making Xu Yang feel depressed.

From this statue, Xu Yang got two messages:

First, it is obvious that the Golden Demon God did get the opportunity from here.

Secondly, he was the only one who knew that this opportunity definitely came from the origin continent! The artistic conception that the statue exuded, which was higher than the true god, was definitely not something that could be born naturally in the universe!
"Seventeen arms are empty, which means the opportunities above have been taken away, and there are still nine left, which means that every strong man who comes here has restrictions on taking treasures, otherwise it would have been looted long ago." Xu Yang looked around and found that there was only this towering statue in the temple, nothing else.

Obviously, the treasure is right before our eyes.

Taking a step forward, just as Xu Yang stepped into the edge of the reflection cast by the statue, his pupils, which had been paying attention to the statue, suddenly shrank. At that moment, he saw the statue's ancient face, which looked like a golden Buddha, curled up the corner of its mouth slightly.

"This... there's something wrong with this statue!!!" At this moment, a genuine chill mixed with overwhelming horror suddenly spread from Xu Yang's heart.

The drastic change in his facial expression did not hinder Xu Yang's movements at all. His limbs instantly bent and shrank, and he suddenly shot backwards. He felt a very bad feeling in his heart, especially after he determined that these were the relics left behind by a strong man from the Origin Continent.

Xu Yang is not very afraid of the cosmic ocean. Why?
Because he had obtained many super secret techniques from the Origin Continent through the system that were far beyond the vision of this cosmic sea, and formed a "secret technique generation gap" with the native creatures of the cosmic sea. This was why he could use "Twelve Source Heavenly Demon Flow", "Hundred Tribulations of Refining Demons", and "Stealing Soul Heart" to constantly stir up trouble in the original universe and the cosmic sea without being caught.

The difference in vision made the creatures in this universe sea never think of such a magical secret method, and the information cocoon made them automatically exclude Xu Yang. This is why the mountain guest can use a unique refining method to refine the treasure, and thus forge the two identities of "North Prison Master" and "Blood Cloud Palace Master".

In short, it’s all about the information generation gap.

It is precisely because he knows and has used the mysterious secret techniques on the Origin Continent that Xu Yang is more aware of how powerful the strong people there are and how bizarre the secret techniques there are, and he is more in awe of the place.

However, no matter how fast Xu Yang moved, he could not be faster than the trap that had been set long ago.

The door of the main hall slammed shut, and the space around the statue's face suddenly moved slightly. Then the statue seemed to come alive. When its eyes blinked, divine light filled the sky. When its nostrils flared, thunder and wind exploded...

Almost in the blink of an eye, the corner of the statue's mouth trembled slightly, and then, the slightly stiff neck lowered with a "click", and there was an ambiguous look in the bright yellow eyes. An ancient, hoarse and indifferent voice slowly resounded in the hall.

"Since you have met me, why don't you bow?"

It was clearly only a head that was moving, and the body underneath was still a clay sculpture, but the extreme sense of oppression made Xu Yang feel as if a disaster was about to happen. This is the instinct of life, a warning from the unknown when facing an existence that cannot be resisted.

His mouth was dry and his body was extremely stiff, as if Xu Yang had returned to the time when he was weak.

"Don't...know...respect...and...fear...punishment!"

With a creaking sound, the statue's dark jaw opened and closed, and an invisible wave swept out from between its brows, covering Xu Yang's body at lightning speed.

Wow~~~
Xu Yang only felt that the scene in front of him was distorted in an instant, as if he was suddenly dragged into another dimension by an irresistible force.

The light flashed around him, making his eyes hurt. When the light died down, he was already in a desolate place. The wind was howling, and gravel was whipping him like a hidden weapon. Xu Yang hurriedly used his divine power to protect his body, but he was shocked to find that his divine power had completely disappeared and he could not sense it at all.

"I used to be the one who dragged others into the illusion, but I never thought it would be my turn now." Xu Yang did not panic. He focused his will and soul. Even if the divine body in the outside world was destroyed, as long as his soul was fine, his life would not be in danger.

After encouraging himself in his heart, Xu Yang's tense nerves relaxed a little.

Looking up, I saw the huge figure of the statue hanging high in the sky, like a demon looking down at ants.

"When you meet a respected one, bow down to him. Kowtow with every step you take, and he will grant you a chance to live." The statue's indifferent voice sounded in this dreamland.

"Hmph, a submission test? You want me to kneel? Dream on!" Xu Yang gritted his teeth and said secretly. Although he was filled with fear, his stubborn pride was like a raging fire, burning more and more fiercely in his heart. He was not opposed to kneeling, just like when he became a disciple of the Heaven Devouring Overlord... But that was a favor between master and disciple, and he did it voluntarily. However, this time, the statue forced him to kneel, and it also had a rewarding look on its face. How could Xu Yang be willing to do it?
Hearing Xu Yang's words, a cold light flashed in the statue's eyes, and this barren land suddenly turned upside down, the ground cracked and the mountains collapsed, and boiling magma gushed out from the ground, instantly turning the area around Xu Yang into a sea of ​​fire. The flames raged and licked his skin, as if to burn his will to ashes.

"You arrogant person, punish me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the shadow of the statue in the sky disappeared completely, leaving only this illusion and endless disasters, as well as Xu Yang who was constantly searching for life in it.

Fortunately, his strength returned.

……

Outside, Xu Yang's body collapsed to the ground, and the statue's face returned to normal.

Swish!
The void twisted, and a burly black figure appeared out of nowhere next to the statue's head. If you look closely, you will find that the statue is an enlarged version of the black figure.

"Owner."

The statue's face wavered, and an illusory figure like a square box emerged from it, flashing gently towards the black figure a few times, very intimately.

"Haha, Tiewu, you've done a good job." The burly figure stretched out his hand and wanted to pat the square head of the attached intelligent Tiewu, but the illusory form could only pass through it.

"Master, Master..." The eyes of the Iron Crow couldn't help but reveal a deep and uncontrollable sadness.

The burly man waved his hand nonchalantly, saying, "I have been dead for who knows how many years. Why should I be sad? Even if it is you, I am afraid you have been reincarnated countless times and are no longer you."

"No matter how many generations pass, Tiewu will always be your most loyal subordinate and will carry out your will forever!"

"Yeah, not bad." The burly man nodded with satisfaction, "Turn up the virtual world image, I want to see him."

The burly man was just a wisp of remnant. Many of his magical powers had long disappeared, and he needed to rely on the power of the intelligence under his command.

Wow~~~
The air twisted and the scene where Xu Yang was appeared. He was in a very miserable state at this moment. He was constantly avoiding various natural disasters and trying to find the flaws in the virtual world to break out.

"Haha, the virtual realm is not something that your world can break." The burly man stroked his chin and murmured, "I hope you can give me a surprise. Although I want to go home, I don't want to find a weak heir."

A strong person should not be arrogant, but he should have a sense of pride. (End of this chapter)
