Abundant Martial Arts Virtue

Hell Rift.

Ancient Castle.

Courtyard.

Wu Xiaode squatted on a chair, having tea with the Castle Master.

"Several hours have passed, I guess."

The elder said.

"Right, I was expecting the next opponent, but no one has turned up so far," Wu Xiaode sighed.

Something was strange.

In fact, he had noticed from the beginning that they were testing him.

The sequences were testing the power of his Heavenly Realm Skin.

The sequences wanted to test him, and he was likewise testing their power.

If they went too far, he would definitely activate the Primordial Sequence.

By then, they wouldn't even be able to see him, so what fight could they put up against him?

Or if his situation turned dire, he would immediately destroy the Heavenly Realm Skin.

They wouldn't get it either!

After several rounds of testing, it was they who showed their hand.

So.

They couldn't get the Heavenly Realm Skin, so they backed off?

Impossible.

There must be something he didn't know.

Wu Xiaode's gaze shifted to the Book of the Dead.

The Book of the Dead was open, revealing lines of Ice Frost script:

"The Death Skill 'Soul Shock' will be fully evolved in ten seconds."

"This upgrade utilized a vast array of long-range attack Taoist Formulas from Mount Jade, so there may be some different transformations."

"The reason for this is because the Evil Spirit Book has conveyed a premonition to the Golden Dog."

"The upcoming battle will exceed your imagination."

"Time's up."

"You have gained a new Death clan style of boxing:"

"Dragon Snake."

"A uniquely personal style Death Skill, one of a kind."

"Description:"

"Summon a Demon Hand to autonomously track and attack, randomly releasing one of the various attack abilities you possess."

"Unless you cancel it, this skill will not be deactivated."

"——During the multistage evolution, your dirty magic hand has evolved once again in a returning form and can do even more."

This skill was good.

Plus "Shadow Demon King," "Tai Chu," and "Windless Embrace" Twin Dragons—

Wu Xiaode put down his teacup, stood up, and stretched.

"You know, for us who like fighting, merely chasing away troublemakers doesn't really count for much."

"What are you suggesting?" the elder inquired.

"I'll head out first and come back later," Wu Xiaode said.

"Take this; it can teleport you directly to my castle," the elder said.

He handed a Token to Wu Xiaode.

Wu Xiaode took the Token, soared into the sky, and flew towards the Hell Rift above the castle.

Halfway through his flight, he suddenly deactivated "Bright Ghost."

In an instant.

The entire Death World vanished from his sight.

He reverted to a living person and returned to the air-raid shelter.

The entire air-raid shelter was deserted.

——All human beings had been transformed into Shadow Followers and stored in the Evil Spirit Book.

Dead silence.

Darkness.

In the soundless underground tunnel, he stood still at his spot.

So——

What exactly was it?

What were the Mysterious lives and sequences really planning?

They didn't even seem that eager to kill him.

Upon realizing they couldn't snatch the Heavenly Realm Skin, they ceased any further actions.

——Perhaps it was because all Mysterious lives had already become human.

Even for a sequence, moving so many living beings to fight him in the Death World wasn't an easy task.

This could be one reason.

But——

It wasn't enough.

The clues were too scant.

Wu Xiaode sighed and began to walk casually forward.

He passed through the underground passage and directly approached the air-raid bunker, gazing out at the sandstorm outside.

The Pangu World was so vast.

If Mysterious lives were hiding and doing something, he had no way of detecting them.

In fact, all humans might be unaware.

Only one being could fully know what the Mysterious lives were doing.

Pangu.

It naturally knew everything that happened to it.

With this thought in mind.

Wu Xiaode took a deep breath and shouted into the sandstorm outside:

"Hey——"

"They've given me so much trouble, and I don't even have a way to get even."

"Give me some information, will you!"

His voice carried far and wide before being completely drowned out by the roar of the sandstorm.

Suddenly.

A shadow flew rapidly through the sandstorm.

Wu Xiaode focused his gaze and, instead of retreating, stepped forward, extending his hand to catch the dark shadow.

—It turned out to be a cloak.

The cloak used by the Mysterious life forms to hide from the sandstorms!

A line of ice crystal characters then appeared:

"You have obtained 'Windless Embrace'."

"A cloak of the Emerging class."

"An object jointly materialized by the nine major sequences."

"Note:"

"Today's 'Pangu's Gift' has already been delivered to you."

"This cloak, not easily acquired, please use it wisely."

Wu Xiaode turned the cloak over and over, examining it closely.

Not bad!

For Pangu to secure such a cloak for him, he must have put in great effort.

Let's try it on!

No sooner had Wu Xiaode tried to don the cloak than it seemed to repel from his body as if there was a force pushing it away, causing it to fall to the ground.

A line of ice crystal characters then appeared:

"This type of cloak is exclusively for the use of Mysterious life forms; you are a pure human and cannot use it."

Simple!

Wu Xiaode wiped his fairy green vine brooch.

In an instant.

He transformed into the likeness of the Lord of Radiance.

With a summoning gesture, the cloak immediately draped securely over him, enveloping his entire body.

He pulled the hood of the cloak over his head.

A strange thing happened—

Suddenly, a multitude of voices rang out from within the hood, accompanied by static noise, much like numerous people communicating over walkie-talkies.

"Shh... shh..."

"The gathering point is in the southern wasteland; make sure to arrive as soon as possible."

"Shh... received!"

"Stop bothering with those humans... shh... hurry over!"

"Zzzzz..."

"I'm really looking forward to seeing the expressions on those humans' faces this time tomorrow, haha."

"... Zzz... they're just food... no need to concern ourselves with their expressions... shh..."

Wu Xiaode silently listened for a while.

The southern wasteland?

What are these Mysterious beings up to?

As the saying goes, it is only polite to return a visit.

—Let's take a look!

He stepped out of the underground shelter and soared towards the south.

...

Elsewhere.

Zzzzzz—

The image on the black-and-white television set gradually blurred.

The skeleton sitting in front of the TV relaxed, then suddenly burst into raucous laughter.

"Brilliant! It's absolutely brilliant!"

"They attempted to glimpse Pangu's heavenly power just before the critical point, yet they utterly failed!"

The skeleton rolled on the floor laughing, then suddenly hopped up, burst through the house, and flew into the sky.

It gazed at the huge, towering pillar of God rising far off on the horizon.

The plains were dense with people.

All of these people were cloaked, shielding themselves from the wind and sand of the world.

Upon noticing the skeleton, one of them flew up and bowed respectfully, saying:

"Great Chaotic Saint, we know you have come to the human world solely for amusement; please do not disrupt our affairs."

"Your affairs?" the skeleton muttered quietly.

Its hollow eye sockets looked off into the depths of the plain, where it saw human formations one after another.

Thousands of humans were assembling a machine.

Although it was unclear what that machine was, it was evidently at a critical point, flashing intense frequencies of light.

Each flash penetrated the sky-reaching pillar of God as if supplying the pillar with power.

"Initially seeing humans as a prelude, now finding them too difficult to manipulate, you choose a head-on clash... utterly fascinating, I love your idea," said the skeleton.

The man replied, "It's a pity we haven't figured out the power of Pangu's heavenly realm in time; otherwise, we would be winning now."

Speaking of this, the skeleton stretched its mouth into a grin, saying, "You won a round, but lost on this matter; that lad is indeed tough to handle. I guess you can't beat him fighting in the human way."

"Up next, we no longer need to follow the human way," the man said respectfully.

Upon hearing this, the skeleton slowly lifted its head to look at the sky.

At the top of the awe-inspiring pillar of God, something seemed to be slowly manifesting.

All the grey clouds were dispersing, and even the winds and sands struggled to approach the endlessly powerful pillar.

And then the thing became clearer.

It was a vast and majestic continent, boundless and immense.

An indescribable breath surged from the continent, flowing down the pillar, all pouring into the world of Pangu.

At this moment.

Everyone received a brand new alert:

"The twin worlds have taken shape."

"The laws of the world are about to begin changing."

"Please wait for the worlds' confrontation to complete to learn the outcome."

The skeleton silently watched the continent hanging in the sky, whispering:

"Void Storage Realm..."

"So that's why it's so urgent that even the entire main world of the Mysterious is being moved here."

It suddenly erupted into wild laughter:

"Hahahaha, how amusing, Void Storage Realm versus Pangu, which one of you is the master of the era?"

"Fight, slay, let me see everything dissolve into disorderly chaos!"
