Chen Tianyang's sudden appearance was simply too sudden. Originally, his life force was already gone, and the Qi in his body had already dissipated. This was something that both Liu Zhaoxian and Wang Yan were absolutely certain of. That was why they didn't think too much about it and rushed forward. However, the two of them didn't expect that someone who was clearly dead would suddenly come back to life. This is truly unimaginable. "Heavenly Novel"
As one of the Three Freaks, Chen Tianyang's martial arts cultivation could be said to be only below that of the One Venerable and the Two Devils. Even Liu Zhaoxian was almost on par with him. However, he had come back from the dead and attacked without warning, and it was the ultimate skill of his life. Liu Zhaoxian, who was close at hand, was defenseless, and Wang Yan couldn't react in time.
Bang …
A muffled sound was mixed with the sound of bones breaking. The refined iron short stick pierced through Chen Tianyang's sleeve and smashed into Liu Zhaoxian's ribs in the blink of an eye. Half of Liu Zhaoxian's sternum collapsed inwards, and he was forced to take a few steps back.
"Senior!"
This sudden turn of events caused Wang Yanting to feel as if his eyes were going to split open. Just as Liu Zhaoxian was struck, Wang Yanting let out a roar, and the Falling Sand in his hand slashed towards Chen Tianyang. The blood-red light streaked across the sky, slashing towards Chen Tianyang.
Ding …
Chen Tianyang raised his other hand, and the green light on his palm was blazing. It was obvious that he had pushed his Gang Qi to the extreme, and he attacked straight at Wang Yan, completely ignoring the sword strike!
"All of you will die, especially you!"
At the same time, the corners of Chen Tianyang's mouth curled up, showing a trace of an evil smile, which made people shudder.
Chen Tianyang was, after all, a martial arts legend under the One Venerable and the Two Devils, and his cultivation was much higher than Wang Yan's. His palm came later, and in an instant, it reached Wang Yan's chest. Wang Yan couldn't avoid it, and he didn't plan to dodge it either. A green light flashed in his Dantian, and then his whole body was covered in green light. He was using the Qingxu Sword Aura to protect himself.
Boom …
In the next instant, Chen Tianyang's palm landed on Wang Yan's chest. The Qing Xu Sword Qi shattered inch by inch. It didn't even last for the blink of an eye. Following that, Chen Tianyang's palm continued forward. Before his palm could even touch Wang Yan's chest, the force in his palm had already surged through the air.
However, right at this moment, the blood-colored waterfall finally descended. A line of blood extended down from the center of Chen Tianyang's brows, but there was no blood. Just like Young Noble Tian Que, Chen Tianyang's entire body rapidly withered away, eventually turning into ashes. However, a sinister smile still hung on his face, looking extremely treacherous.
Puff …
A large mouthful of blood spurted out from Wang Yan's mouth. After all, the difference in cultivation level between him and Chen Tianyang was too great. In such a face-to-face battle of life and death, even though his Heartless Dao Destruction Sword was unstoppable, it was also difficult for him to withstand Chen Tianyang's techniques.
In particular, Chen Tianyang seemed to know the power of the Heartless Dao Destruction Sword, so he didn't care about his own life at all. In such a life-or-death battle, if it wasn't for Wang Yan taking action in time and gaining the upper hand, it was really hard to say who would be the one to live and who would die.
"Puppet Dharma Seals. I didn't expect the Puppet Dharma Seals to be set up here!"
Liu Zhaoxian's astonished voice came. Wang Yan took a breath and immediately looked towards the direction of the voice. His expression changed greatly at once. It was probably because Liu Zhaoxian had been hit out of the crack by the rod just now. He was barely able to support his body with his sword and half-kneeling on the ground.
"Senior …"
Wang Yan clenched his fists and his body trembled slightly because he knew that the dozens of Talisman Dharma Seals outside the crack had firmly locked onto Liu Zhaoxian. Although these Talisman Dharma Seals had yet to move, Liu Zhaoxian had already fallen into a dead end. Once so many Talisman Dharma Seals were activated at the same time, even the Heartless Dao Destruction Sword would find it difficult to kill them all in one strike. Moreover, Wang Yan had already made two strikes and was now an arrow at the end of its flight. It would be difficult for him to make a third strike.
As for the Puppet Dharma Seals that Liu Zhaoxian mentioned, Wang Yan had never heard of it. However, for some reason, he remembered what Chen Xu had said about the reset of NPCs, or something called the logical program cleansing. Obviously, the Chen Tianyang just now was extremely abnormal. Not to mention his resurrection, the sudden attack, the eerie smile, the strange words, and so on showed that he was no longer the Chen Tianyang from before. He had been completely reset. His consciousness was obliterated, his memory, personality, and so on had all been erased. The thing that controlled him just now was probably a completely different will, or rather, the will of the mainframe.
All this while, based on Wang Yan's understanding of this world, he felt that the mainframe could not directly interfere with the matters of the world. This was also something that Chen Xu had confirmed. In fact, the mainframe was not as good as Chen Xu. It could not directly descend its consciousness into an NPC's body. However, this situation was not absolute. If someone gave the mainframe a cleansing command, or an NPC triggered the cleansing command, the mainframe could directly descend its consciousness through a specific method. Obviously, this Puppet Dharma Seal was one of the specific methods.
This thought flashed through Wang Yan's mind, and he knew that this trip was even more dangerous than before. However, he did not want to think about this at the moment, because Liu Zhaoxian's life was at stake!
"Wang Yan, don't be sad. I've long since understood that I would die on this path. In the future, my path will depend on your help to continue. This is the last thing I can do to help you."
Liu Zhaoxian turned his head and smiled at Wang Yan. Before his voice faded, a white dot the size of a grain of rice floated out of his brow and shot towards Wang Yan. Wang Yan did not dodge. He stood with his hands by his side, his body trembling. Even though he had expected this day to come, in the end, watching Liu Zhaoxian die in front of him, he still found it hard to accept.
The white dot sank into Wang Yan's brow. In an instant, he felt his Dantian throbbing violently. The dried up Origin Embryo seemed to be nourished by the spring rain, and it began to generate internal energy. A trickle of pure internal energy began to surge. However, this was not the most important thing. Wang Yan felt that his own world had undergone some kind of change, and the enormous computing power that connected him to the empty self had instantly become stronger.
In an instant, Wang Yan understood. Liu Zhaoxian's self-awakening consciousness was completely different from his own. High-level NPCs like Liu Zhaoxian did not have program X. They were digital AI products limited by logical programming. Their data storage was actually one with the mainframe, but due to some unexpected reason, they had obtained part of the mainframe's computing power. Their logical programming thus jumped out of the frame and carried out AI simulations on a larger scale, gradually evolving their own consciousness.
Unfortunately, they ultimately did not have program X. They did not have unlimited growth. After their understanding of the world's essence had reached a certain limit, they were similarly limited by their computing power. That was why they placed their hopes on obtaining the Nine-leaf Celestial Lotus to break through their shackles and seize more of the mainframe's computing power to evolve their own intelligence. This was a completely different path from Chen Xu's way of cultivating intelligent lifeforms, but it was also something the mainframe could not tolerate. This was because NPCs like Liu Zhaoxian were like blood-sucking worms hiding within the mainframe, scheming to seize the computing power that belonged only to the mainframe to complete their own evolution and escape.
And now, as Liu Zhaoxian was on the verge of death, he used a special method born from his understanding of the path to transfer this computing power to Wang Yan.
Liu Zhaoxian's understanding of computing power, the mainframe, and even the essence of the world naturally could not be so clear and thorough. After all, Wang Yan had learned too many things that did not belong to this world through Chen Xu through the fifth verse. However, Liu Zhaoxian still relied on his limited knowledge to do the most beneficial thing for Wang Yan. It should be known that Wang Yan already had tremendous computing power thanks to the Y program, and now that he had obtained Liu Zhaoxian's computing power, his calculation and deduction abilities were simply terrifying. Such a gift was undoubtedly extremely precious, but it came at the cost of his life.
"Live."
Liu Zhaoxian looked at Wang Yan as he uttered those last words, his eyes filled with unparalleled determination and determination. In the next instant, the dozens of seals in the formation outside the crack vibrated, but before they could be triggered, Liu Zhaoxian's longsword slid across his neck.
