Chapter 374 True God Peak, Ku Yanju!

This is an extremely vast world. Looking at the end, it is blurry, as if there is no boundary. The whole world is now in a state of doomsday. All kinds of imaginable and unimaginable natural disasters are constantly erupting!

“Boom!” “Boom!” “…”

However, their target was a black streamlined figure. Even though the black figure had already stretched its speed to the limit, the countless intertwined disaster storms could still accurately block his every retreat. It seemed that the endless attacks were faster than his movements. Now he was more illusory than when he first came in.

Obviously, his willpower was greatly depleted.

"It's been eight hundred thousand years. Doesn't this illusion need energy to maintain? Not only is each attack so powerful, but the number is also outrageous." Taking advantage of a gap when he was knocked away, Xu Yang complained bitterly in his heart.

Having persisted in this illusion until now, Xu Yang has roughly figured out the purpose of the statue.

In this illusion, the passage of time is very clear, or it is specially strengthened. For the creatures in the universe, time is very important! Except for the creatures in the holy land universe, the other strong ones are worried about their deadlines.

Even if they could withstand these attacks, if they were trapped inside forever... 100,000 years would be nothing, 100,000 epochs would be nothing, but 1 billion epochs would be too much to ignore, and 10 trillion epochs would be enough to kill them...

You will be kept alive until the end of your life and die!
Thinking about it now, I'm afraid that the seventeen powerful men who took away the treasure before all kowtowed and admitted defeat in this situation. After all, for those true gods, even if they have clones in the outside world (which is actually impossible), this illusion isolates everything, and their body cannot communicate with other clones. Naturally, they will not let this body stay here until it dies of old age.

Even though they knew that this world was just an illusion, they did not dare to gamble because they could not perceive the flow rate of the real world outside. If they lost the bet, they would die of old age.

But Xu Yang is different, he has a system, and the status of the system is much higher than this illusion! Each of his clones can mobilize the system panel, which is equivalent to the system panel becoming a communication medium between clones. This illusion can't hinder the perception between him and other clones at all!

It is for this reason that he knows that the time he spent in this illusion is false. It seems that 800,000 years have passed inside, but in the real world, only a few days have passed.

"In that case, then go ahead and let me see if you can really push my limits!" Xu Yang's eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he dodged sideways to avoid a column of erupting lava.

This illusion was perfect, and he couldn't find any flaws. Since he couldn't break free, he might as well enjoy it... Anyway, he still had the "Demon Refining Hundred Tribulations" to practice, and the terrifying difference in the flow of time here and in reality was simply the best tool for improvement!

Time passed quietly.

This world seemed to be caught in a strange cycle, with endless natural disasters and a tireless black figure. If it were not for the determination that could be seen in the black figure's eyes every time he turned and moved, even the burly figure who had been watching from the outside would have doubted whether Xu Yang had turned into a walking corpse.

"Tiewu, how long has it been in there?" The burly man's eyes were moved, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Tiewu who was accompanying him.

Tiewu said without hesitation: "It will soon reach the first era."

An era is the time measurement unit on the Origin Continent. If converted to the Universe Ocean, it is a cosmic era.

After a long silence, the burly man's calm eyes seemed to penetrate the shadows in the air and see through Xu Yang inside. He could feel that the consciousness of the black figure inside had been stretched to the limit, but the consciousness he condensed had become as solid as iron without him noticing. The action of dodging the natural disaster as if by instinct made the burly man see a stubbornness that was enough to move him.

A hoarse voice sounded: "If I am not mistaken, he is just a Lord of Laws. The Lord of Laws in this sea of ​​universe can only live for three epochs at most. If it is a Lord of Laws born from the original universe, without the shelter of the True God Universe, he may only live for one epoch..."

As he spoke, the burly man turned his head abruptly and said in a serious tone: "Tiewu, are you sure there are no loopholes in the virtual realm?"

Tiewu's body was shining with light. After a moment, he answered firmly, "Master, there is absolutely no problem! Even if the Lord of Laws has clones in the outside world, it is absolutely impossible for them to sense each other!"

Hearing Tiewu's affirmative answer, the burly man breathed a sigh of relief, and when he looked at Xu Yang in the picture, there was a hint of appreciation and recognition in his eyes. Maybe this kind of person who would rather die than bow his head may look stupid in some ways, but how similar is he to the past? If he hadn't been so proud and insisted to the point of paranoia, how could he stand out from the countless strong men in the clan and become the eternal invincible strong man with a reputation in several Chaos States?
If it weren't for some unexpected events, he probably wouldn't have ended up here, but would have broken through to become the Lord of Chaos in the Continent of Origin and become the Ancestor!
It was precisely because he saw his own past shadow in Xu Yang that a trace of kindness appeared in his eyes, although he had always been picky, towards Xu Yang. This kindness was not because of "Glorious Golden Body", but was simply an intuition.

As the protagonist, Xu Yang didn't know that because of the existence of the system, he knew that less than 200,000 years had actually passed in the outside world, and the energy groove of [Secret Extraction] had only accumulated one opportunity. However, at this time, he didn't care about [Secret Extraction] at all. He was now concentrating on engraving the magic pattern of "Demon Refining Hundred Tribulations" for himself. The sixteenth level had been completed, and the seventeenth level was constantly being tried!
It seemed that it took almost a cosmic era in the virtual realm to push "The Hundred Tribulations of Demon Refining" from the thirteenth level of magic pattern to the sixteenth level. The efficiency was very low, but one must know that the original intention of the virtual realm was not to sharpen one's will. The virtual realm was a world of its own, almost perfect. Xu Yang's will could hardly be replenished in it, so he did not dare to consume it wantonly. Otherwise, let alone sharpening his will, once he consumed too much, the will carried by this body might directly collapse and dissipate.

In this situation of dancing in shackles, Xu Yang was still able to grit his teeth and push "The Hundred Tribulations of Demon Refining" to the sixteenth level, which was enough to show his persistence and talent.

……

outside world.

"Master, a century has passed. According to the conditions you set originally, this is already an excellent talent and character." Tiewu faithfully reported to the burly black figure. Its persistence over countless cosmic eras has allowed it to constantly update and iterate itself. It has lost the joys, anger, sorrows, and happiness of a super-intelligent life, and is left with only loyalty!
Hearing this, the burly black figure nodded, stood up, and said, "Release him from the virtual world. It's time for him to meet me. Maybe... he can give me some real surprises."

"Yes, Master."

Following the command from the burly black figure, the Iron Crow's body quickly rippled like water. Countless data streams in its eyes quickly slid down, and mysterious runes flashed out, and then these runes slowly merged into the invisible unknown virtual space.

In an instant, the natural disaster attack in the virtual space came to an abrupt halt, and the endless storm that had been locking onto Xu Yang instantly dissipated without a trace. The whole world seemed to have been paused and fell into dead silence.

Xu Yang was concentrating on engraving the magic pattern of "Demon Refining Hundred Tribulations". This sudden change made him slightly stunned. Then he looked around vigilantly, his eyes full of alertness. At this moment, a soft light sprinkled down from the sky above the virtual realm, covering Xu Yang.

This light seemed to have a magical power. Xu Yang only felt that his body became lighter and lighter, and his consciousness gradually became blurred, but it seemed that the light was also repairing his long-suppressed will...

At the moment before he was completely taken away, he was secretly alert in his heart, not knowing whether this was a new crisis or a sign of about to escape from this illusion. But at this moment, he was no longer able to resist. He could only guard the little bit of true spirit protected in the Heart Refining Armor and let this force carry him. If anything went wrong, he would have to give up this clone!
In the outside world, the burly black figure and the Iron Crow were quietly staring at the virtual space.

The light that enveloped Xu Yang in the virtual world became brighter and brighter. After a moment, the light flashed and Xu Yang's figure appeared outside the virtual world. At this time, Xu Yang's body was illusory and transparent, as if a gust of wind could blow him away, but his eyes were still firm and sharp, revealing an unyielding will.

Xu Yang slowly opened his eyes, a brief flash of confusion appeared in his eyes, and then he woke up instantly and looked around vigilantly.

When he saw the burly black figure and the Iron Crow in front of him, his heart tightened and he subconsciously took a defensive posture.

The burly black figure smiled when he saw this, and slowly said, "Little guy, don't be nervous. You have passed my test. From now on, you are temporarily safe."

Xu Yang frowned slightly but did not let his guard down. He knew very well that he could not trust anyone easily in this strange and dangerous place.

and……

Looking at the faint white glow around himself and his body collapsed on the ground, it was hard for him to believe what the burly figure above said.

"Are you the master of this ruin? Were the disasters in the previous illusions all tests?"

The burly black figure was not angry at Xu Yang's cold attitude. Instead, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes. The tolerance of the strong for geniuses is very high. He said, "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I am very satisfied with your performance in the virtual world. You have extraordinary perseverance and talent. I am very interested in you."

Xu Yang said in a deep voice, "What do I need to pay, and what can I get?"

The burly black figure smiled and said, "Don't worry, recover your strength and will first. We have plenty of time to talk slowly." After that, he waved his hand, and a gentle force surged into Xu Yang's body, helping him recover quickly.

The white glow that enveloped him also quickly disappeared. Without the obstruction of the glow, the invisible attraction of the body to the will finally reappeared. Xu Yang glanced at the burly figure, and seeing that he had no intention of stopping him, he quickly let his will return to the body.

The body that had collapsed on the ground stood up again. Xu Yang almost squinted his eyes in comfort due to the refreshing feeling just like drinking a large glass of ice cola in the dog days of summer.

The body nourishes the soul, and the soul will also nourish the body. In the full universe of the virtual world, his willpower has been greatly improved! From barely entering the realm of true god to the peak of true god now, I think the power of "Demon Refining Hundred Tribulations" will also be greatly improved!

The eighteenth level of magic pattern is the limit of a true god. Once broken through, it is the will of the Void True God. Now Xu Yang has reached the sixteenth level of magic pattern. If it is divided according to the strength of the universe sea, I am afraid he will not be able to escape an eighth-level strength.

"Very good. You look full of energy and vitality." A burly black figure walked out from the shadow under the statue's head and exclaimed in admiration.

There seemed to be countless stars surrounding him, and the bright light intertwined with his majestic aura, as if to fill the entire space. He was only a hundred feet tall, but he was like a towering mountain. Every time he took a step, the whole palace trembled. His body was covered with a black armor. The runes on the armor flashed, and there were faint images of thunder roaring and stars flowing. On his broad shoulders, a pair of huge dragon-head shoulder guards were full of domineering aura, and the dragon's eyes were wide open, emitting a ferocious light that seemed to be ready to devour someone in the next second.

The lines on his face were as hard as if carved by a knife, his sword-like eyebrows were slanted into his temples, his eyes were like two scorching suns, emitting a chilling light, and his long black hair was flying wantonly like a burning flame, highlighting his unruly character.

The whole person standing there was like the master of heaven and earth. An invisible pressure spread around like a tide, making Xu Yang feel his breath stagnate.

"You can call me Ku Yanju, or you can call me by my title, Shenyu."

"Greetings, Lord Shenyu." Xu Yang readily followed suit. Since the other party was showing goodwill to him, whether it was for this clone or for the relics and treasures, there was naturally no reason to continue to confront him.

"I believe you are very curious about me, but due to the rules, I cannot tell you in person. And I am also curious about one thing..." Ku Yanju said softly, "Where did you get the secret method of body refining?"

Having said this, Ku Yanju's pupils, which were like two shining suns, suddenly brightened, and in an instant an extremely terrifying pressure enveloped Xu Yang.

Click, click, click~~~~

Xu Yang felt that his bones were wailing, and his eyes were filled with shock and fear like a raging storm...

He was actually recognized as a follower?

In fact, Xu Yang had already guessed about this powerful man named Ku Yanju. He was probably an incredible powerful man from the Origin Continent, at least at the level of Eternal True God... After all, in the Origin Continent, True Gods were just ordinary people, and only Void True Gods had a little status. And at least one had to be an Eternal True God to cross the wilderness more safely and stand tall in a city.

At this moment, Xu Yang was most thankful that he had never used the "Glorious Golden Body" in front of the hermit. Otherwise, with his God King vision, he would have seen through it long ago. (End of this chapter)
