Yue Chen Yu anxiously paced back and forth in front of Jun Wu Xie, but she could not think of any way to help him.
Especially when she saw that Jun Wu Xie's condition was undergoing a frightening change. In a short period of time, he seemed to have aged a great deal. It was as though the years were speeding up on his body.
In his heart's illusion, Jun Wu Xie had already passed a very long period of time.
He could feel that he was aging in the midst of time.
Time had erased his youth, but it still erased the scenes that had been engraved into his bones. Those scenes had taken root and left a mark on him.
He told himself every day that everything was fake. It was all his heart's illusion. He wanted to walk out, but after a long period of time, it had only diluted some of the psychological effects of those scenes. It was very difficult for him to completely ignore them.
"No, I must do it. I cannot be trapped in my own heart's illusion! If that's the case, what will happen to Yao 'er? What will happen to imperial concubine Ling and the others? What will happen to my precious daughter? They are still waiting for me in the real world. I must go back! "
He constantly told himself in his heart to continue enduring the years. He tried to use time to slowly erase everything, eliminate the effects, break through the illusion, and return to reality.
… …
In the real world, on the stairs leading to the second platform, Yue Chen Yu stood guard at his side. Her heart was burning with anxiety, but there was nothing she could do.
She watched helplessly as wrinkles appeared on his face. She watched as strands of white hair grew out from his thick black hair at his temples.
He was aging. She could even clearly feel the years quickly passing on his body.
This was a kind of ruthless power. Blade after blade cut away the sharpness of the man before her, leaving behind the vicissitudes of life on his body.
This kind of change, as time passed in the real world, became more and more serious.
In less than half a day, he had already become very old. His face was covered in wrinkles, and his full muscles had relaxed. His vitality was extremely withered. His previously thick black hair was now completely white. At a glance, he looked like an old man.
"God Monarch …"
Yue Chen Yu's voice was slightly trembling. It was much less cold and more emotional.
Nobody knew that she actually wanted to call him this because she had a deep admiration and respect for this man in her heart.
Even though she was extremely powerful and had an extremely high status in her previous life, she was only a small cultivator in this life. It was this man who helped her change her fate.
No one could compare to his excellence. Stunning was not enough to describe him!
Since ancient times, it had been extremely difficult for people from humble backgrounds to rise above others.
Although this man had many secrets and stories, in this life, he was actually a disciple of a small family in a small town. He had a rough life when he was young. Someone had dug out his bones. However, with his tenacity and hard work, without a big force to support him and provide him with resources, he had walked step by step to reach where he was today. He ruled the entire Ancient Star and dared to challenge the Sovereign. His name had shaken the Starry Sky.
How much blood and sweat did he have to put in, and how many dangers did he have to go through to have such achievements?
"You can't just bury your life in the illusion of your inner demons. I can roughly guess what you've experienced in the illusion. It must be very painful and despairing, right? I know that feeling, but it's definitely not as deep as yours … "
Her soft and slender hand stroked his face, as if she wanted to smooth out the knife-like wrinkles on his face.
Looking at his face that was getting older and older, his body that was getting more and more withered, and feeling his flame of life that was getting weaker and weaker, those eyes that were originally eternally cold gradually trembled, and a little bit of water vapor filled the air.
Just when she had already felt despair, the body in front of her, whose flame of life was almost extinguished, suddenly burst out with an exuberant vitality.
At this moment, a powerful aura spread out from his body.
Yue Chenyu's tender body shook, and she was so excited that her whole body trembled.
She saw the man in front of her open his eyes. The wrinkles on his face disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. The withered vitality and blood Qi instantly became as vigorous as a dragon. Even the sound of blood rushing through the blood vessels in his body burst out, like the rumbling of a river.
His white hair quickly became black and dense, full of luster. The shriveled muscles on his body became plump in an instant, and his loose skin tightened, becoming delicate and lustrous, flowing with a layer of faint golden light.
"Chenyu, are you crying?"
Jun Wu Xie looked at the face in front of him with some astonishment. There were still sparkling and translucent tears in her eyes.
"No."
Yue Chenyu slightly turned her face away. When she turned her face back, it returned to its usual coldness, and there was no longer any fluctuation of emotions in her eyes.
"Yue Chenyu, is there any meaning in this? You change your face faster than flipping a book. It seems that as the eldest senior brother, I will have to teach you a lesson sometime."
Jun Wu Xie ridiculed, then looked at the platform in front of him. Thinking of everything that he had experienced in the heart demon's illusion, he could not help but sigh.
Yue Chenyu saw that there was a sudden change in his eyes. His entire person seemed to have an additional sense of vicissitudes, giving people a feeling of the weight of time.
She did not know why, but she suddenly felt a little distressed, but her face still had that cold expression.
A dream of ten thousand years!
He had experienced it personally. He had endured for tens of thousands of years in the illusion, until his blood Qi had dried up, and his life was about to come to an end.
At the last moment, he finally broke through the illusion and broke through the demon's barrier in his heart!
It was also at that moment that his soul realm broke through, and because of that, his cultivation realm also broke through!
Now, he was already at the pinnacle of the lesser celestial realm!
Tens of thousands of years in the illusion was only half a day in reality.
"Let's go, continue to break through!"
Jun Wu Xie threw away those thoughts in his heart, and his eyes became extremely resolute!
The experience in the heart demon's illusion made him understand his mission and responsibility even more!
Those unbearable pain must not happen!
Only by becoming strong enough, strong enough to withstand everything, could he protect the people he wanted to protect!
After overcoming his heart demon, this test of temperament was considered to have passed.
They smoothly ascended the platform.
In the middle of the platform, there was a rune that lit up, and a diagram appeared. A ball of translucent liquid flew out from it.
That was the saint source!
Jun Wu Xie stepped forward and held the saint source in his hand, then handed it to Yue Chenyu.
"Half each."
Yue Chenyu split the saint source in the middle, but she did not divide it evenly. She gave him the larger portion and kept the smaller portion for herself.
Seeing that Jun Wu Xie seemed to have something to say, she spoke first, "There are many more saint sources behind, far more than what I need. Furthermore, I can't cultivate that much in a short period of time. At least, I won't be able to cultivate all of them before I get the third one. You keep the rest of the saint sources. I'll ask you for more when I need it. "
"Alright."
Jun Wu Xie did not say anything else. He stretched out his hand, and a golden palm tore open the enchantment in front of them. The two of them passed through and stepped onto the stairs to the third platform.
From this point onwards, it was a test of strength.
The journey was smooth, and they did not meet any obstacles.
They walked all the way until they reached the wide platform.
There was a stone statue in the middle of the platform. It was about ten meters tall, and it looked like a monster. It stood on two legs, and there was a huge hammer on its shoulder. There were two curved horns on its forehead.
The moment Jun Wu Xie and Yue Chenyu stepped onto the platform, the legs of the stone statue lit up with runes, and the runes went all the way up from the legs.
They were slightly startled, and they retracted their feet back onto the stairs. The runes on the stone statue were quickly extinguished, and it returned to its original appearance.
"Looks like this is the test."
Jun Wu Xie figured out the situation. This kind of test was very friendly for the challengers. If they could not defeat the opponent, they could leave the platform, and that thing would be petrified again.
He and Yue Chenyu stepped onto the stone platform again and walked toward the center.
At this time, the stone statue was shining brightly, and it came back to life in an instant. It let out a violent roar, raised the hammer, and rushed up.
Boom, boom, boom …
As it ran, its feet landed on the platform, and it was like a moving mountain. The whole platform shook.
A buzzing sound was heard.
When it was still a few hundred meters away, the monster waved the hammer.
The runes on the hammer intertwined, and energy surged. When it was swung, it shattered a large area of the void. The hammer had not yet smashed down, but the violent air waves it produced along the way caused the space to shatter layer by layer.
Jun Wu Xie took two steps forward and swung his fist forward. Golden light shone brightly like a sun in the sky.
Clang.
His fist collided with the monster's hammer, and an ear-piercing metallic sound erupted. It was as if two metal weapons had collided, and sparks flew everywhere.
The violent air waves spread in all directions, and the golden blood Qi surged, knocking the hammer back.
Jun Wu Xie's body was like lightning, and he instantly appeared in front of the monster. Before it could react, he heavily punched its head.
This punch produced a huge rumbling sound.
The monster was directly sent flying, but its head was not damaged at all.
Jun Wu Xie's eyes narrowed when she saw the scene in front of her.
This was only the third checkpoint, and it was already so terrifying?
The monster guarding the checkpoint was actually able to use its body to resist his fist, and the target was its head!
"No, look at the sky above its head!"
Yue Chenyu observed carefully from the side and saw some clues.
Jun Wu Xie looked in the direction of her finger, and he could not help but be stunned.
A scale formed by runes of order appeared above the monster's head. There were a total of ten scales, and currently, nine were empty, and only one was left.
"What is that?"
He was a little shocked. It seemed to be related to the monster?
"It should be the damage threshold of the monster!"
Yue Chenyu expressed that this monster was not made of flesh and blood, but something evolved from the order of the Golden Scale Secret Realm. So it was not strange that it could not be injured like normal creatures.
That order scale should be made by the order administrator to judge the battle situation and progress of the checkpoint.
Roar!
At this time, the monster charged forward again.
Jun Wu Xie was about to continue punching, but Yue Chenyu pointed her sword. A bright sword Qi filled with the aura of time slashed the monster's body.
The monster's charging momentum suddenly stopped!
He and Yue Chenyu clearly saw that the moment the sword Qi slashed, the order scale above the monster's head was instantly reset to zero.
At the same time, the monster stopped on the spot and held the sledgehammer high in both hands. It maintained this posture for about a breath's time, and its body began to crack and then exploded.
A dazzling rain of light spread out.
The rain of light was very dazzling. It gathered in the middle and finally condensed into a ball of crystal clear liquid filled with Origin Energy.
"The Primordial Origin Energy in this ball of Saint Source seems to be slightly purer than the one before!"
Jun Wu Xie stepped forward and held the Saint Source in his hand. He handed it to Yue Chenyu for her to see.
"It is indeed much purer. The purity of the Primordial Origin Energy is about twice that of the Saint Source before!" There was a hint of excitement in Yue Chenyu's cold eyes. "It seems that the later the checkpoint, the higher the purity of the Primordial Origin Energy!"
"Come, let's refine the Saint Source as we go through the checkpoints and try to increase our cultivation level. We don't know how many more platforms there are, but we have to be the first to reach the final platform. We can't let others get ahead of us. And before we reach the final checkpoint, we have to increase our cultivation level as much as possible! The three young Supreme Beings from the Ancient Golden Mine are very strong. Together with the dozens of Greater Celestial Sealers sent by the four Supreme Beings, if we don't increase our cultivation level, it will be very difficult to deal with them! “
"Yes, you're right. Those young Supreme Beings have already cultivated to the early stages of Middle Celestial, which is higher than our cultivation level. And those Greater Celestial Sealers are also the young Supreme Beings of their generation. None of them are weak! "
Jun Wu Xie divided the Saint Source into two halves. He and Yue Chenyu each took half and kept it in the cave. The cultivation method automatically activated and refined it. There was no need to deliberately stop to cultivate. It was just that the speed of refinement was slightly slower.
However, because the Saint Source was special and pure, it was easier to refine compared to other resources.
Therefore, even if it was automatically refined, the speed would not be slower than refining other resources. Furthermore, the energy produced by the Saint Source was extremely rich and had a good compatibility with the human body, allowing one to increase their cultivation level at an extremely fast speed!
"If this goes on, I should be able to cultivate to the peak of Extreme Celestial Full Circle in less than 10 days. At that time, I can break through to Middle Celestial!"
Jun Wu Xie estimated in his heart. Would it take 10 days to pass the checkpoints here?
How many more checkpoints were there, and how difficult they were, these were all unknown.
Naturally, he would like the checkpoints to be more difficult. This way, he would be able to increase his time and enter Middle Celestial before reaching the final checkpoint.
Although his opponents would most likely break through during this time, it did not matter.
Those in the Life Forbidden Zone, even if they broke through, they would still be in the Middle Celestial realm.
If he broke through to Middle Celestial, he would be in the same realm as them. At least, there would not be a huge gap between them. At that time, it would only be a difference of two small realms.
He broke through the barrier and continued to the fourth checkpoint.
Just like the third checkpoint, there was a statue in the middle of the platform. When he entered the platform, the statue was activated.
The statue's strength was not too strong for him and Yue Chenyu. In a few hits, their damage tolerance was depleted, and they dropped a Saint Source.
Next, he and Yue Chenyu continuously passed the thirtieth checkpoint!
At this point, it was already very strenuous!
There was no longer one statue guarding the checkpoint, but three. They were very strong, on the same level as him and Yue Chenyu. Their realms were even higher, at Middle Celestial.
They obtained a large number of Saint Sources. The Primordial Origin Qi contained in these Saint Sources was dozens of times denser than the Saint Sources at the beginning.
However, even though it was dozens of times denser, its purity was still diluted by more than a hundred million times.
They worked together and spent a lot of effort to kill the thirtieth checkpoint's guard.
There was a loud boom.
The three guards exploded. The two guards on the left and right dropped two fist-sized Saint Sources. The moment the guard in the middle exploded, a dazzling brilliance was very dazzling.
"What is that?"
Jun Wu Xie looked at the item dropped by the guard in the middle in surprise. It was actually two pieces of armor condensed from energy?
"Congratulations to the challenger for successfully passing the thirtieth checkpoint. You have received a one-star Universe Armor as a reward. I hope that if you continue to work hard and pass the thirty-first checkpoint, you will receive the forging method for upgrading the Universe Armor! "
The order administrator's voice sounded at the right time.
"One-star Universe Armor?"
Jun Wu Xie was stunned. He reached out and grabbed the two pieces of energy armor, then handed one of them to Yue Chenyu.
The moment he put on the armor, a piece of information entered his mind.
One-star Universe Armor: A special armor condensed from Universe Energy. Wearing it can block one percent of damage.
Jun Wu Xie: …
One percent?
He could not help but want to complain.
This was purely useless. What was the use of one percent?
