Abundant Martial Arts Virtue

Task acceptance successful.

However, Wu Xiaode waited for a while, yet no challengers appeared.

The voice of the War Sequence suddenly sounded:

"The Jiuyao Saint has already completed the creation of a new Sequence Beast, and it is about to descend upon the bronze wall."

"Due to this, your 'Three Armies Contest for Leadership' will be delayed."

Wu Xiaode was puzzled: "Its descent doesn't relate to my task."

"Each Sequencer will have an opportunity to choose freely whether to join the new Jiuyao Sequence, hence there is no time to challenge you."

"What should be done then?"

"Wait." The War Sequence said coldly.

Wu Xiaode fell into contemplation.

The new Jiuyao Sequence Beast is coming.

That means they must focus temporarily to consolidate the frontline and reassess their personnel.

—— Even matters on my side are delayed.

Perhaps it's temporarily impossible to trouble Sarina.

If that's the case——

Let's play with an alternate character.

He sat motionless, eyelids slightly closed.

On the other side.

Still the bronze wall.

Inside the bronze wall, engraved with various runes, extremely hard, capable of dispelling all kinds of magic.

A humanoid figure continued to fall downward.

Like a stone plunging into the sea, the surrounding bronze could not stop it, but even helped to accelerate its descent.

"This wall is more than eight billion kilometers long; if we solely traverse like this, when will we arrive?"

Wu Xiaode's avatar transmitted sound.

The Crosser coiled around his waist, the second personality transmitted sound:

"We're almost at the secret chamber."

Perhaps fearing the second personality would gain Wu Xiaode's favor, the first personality of the Crosser hastily transmitted sound:

"There are special secret chambers on the bronze wall that we've created, and we'll soon reach the largest one."

No sooner had the words fallen.

Whoosh——

Wu Xiaode's vision changed, finding himself in a large bronze hall.

In the center of the hall stood a giant pillar, carved with countless evil creatures, but as time passed, all evil creatures transformed, morphing into a new group of evil creatures.

The evil creatures on the pillar constantly changed, releasing powerful evil energy.

These energies, through unknown means, transformed unpredictably into pure mysterious power, coalescing into many runes in midair.

Seven evil creatures stood around the pillar.

They seemed to be waiting for something.

Wu Xiaode descended, also standing before the pillar.

Buzz——

The runes emitted by the pillar enveloped him as well.

In an instant.

The Evil Spirit Book unfolded, displaying a line of small bronze text:

"You are currently affected by the Power of Eternity and may be teleported away at any time; please depart immediately to avoid getting involved in unrelated incidents."

Simultaneously.

The Crosser also sent a sound transmission:

"Nightmare, don't be enveloped by the light of the runes; they have their tasks."

Wu Xiaode naturally began to retreat backward, leaving the area covered by the pillar's light.

But at the last moment——

He suddenly froze in place.

—— Why are these evil creatures gathered in the bronze pillar, and what is their task?

At this moment, two more evil creatures fell.

Immediately afterward.

A monster landed, its entire body composed of restless bones.

—— Skari!

Just advanced to S-level Skari!

An increasingly high-frequency buzzing sound emanated from the pillar.

Teleportation was about to commence.

"Nightmare! Aren't you trying to pass through the bronze wall? Why haven't you evaded?"

The Crosser asked in confusion, transmitting sound.

"Shut up, I have a special task." Wu Xiaode transmitted sound coldly.

In the next instant.

One black pipe after another appeared, absorbing each presence before the pillar inside, disappearing instantly.

...

It's unclear how long it traversed within the black pipes.

A glimmer of light suddenly emerged up ahead.

Wu Xiaode suddenly found himself on a terrace.

The terrace...

He suddenly realized something, leaned forward to see.

Below the terrace.

On a gigantic plaza engraved with countless runes.

Countless black pipes passed through a huge glass vessel, disappearing into the incessantly rolling dark gray liquid.

—— This is the home of the Void Mother!

Wu Xiaode's heart tightened.

Damn.

King of Mysterious Demons, Lord of Ten Thousand Demons, ignorant spirit worm have all undergone Evil Transformation.

Only the Void Mother, called the "Ultimate Weapon," remains untainted in the Holy Realm.

—— These evil creatures could actually sneak into the Holy Realm and reach here!

Skari's voice came faintly:

"Everyone."

"This is the weapon of the Holy Realm, and also the only one that has fought among us without being assimilated."

"You are all proficient in the skill of assimilation!"

"Proceed sequentially."

"Feel free to exert your powers, I will stand guard for you!"

As the words faded.

Skari had floated midair, vigilantly watching all around.

A sinister voice rang out from the opposite stand:

"Then, let's proceed according to order. Whoever manages to carry out Evil Transformation, she will become their servant!"

Wu Xiaode focused intently.

A monster with nine skulls rose, falling directly in front of the large glass vessel.

"Hehe, my blood can assimilate everything."

It placed its hand on the glass vessel, beginning to produce blood, continuously seeping into the vessel.

Sudden change——

A low sobbing sound echoed.

Immediately following, a massive finger pierced through the glass vessel, stabbing into the evil creature's body, its sharp nail penetrating and shaking forcefully.

The evil creature's body and nine heads scattered instantly.

Scattered limbs and heads tumbled down, hitting the ground, completely shattered.

Only after this.

Did the finger slowly retract.

Originally anxious, Wu Xiaode now was shaken to the core, unable to believe his eyes for a few moments.

—— It destroyed an evil creature so easily!

If she's so strong, why doesn't she leave?

Or perhaps escape from that glass vessel?

The voice of the skeleton echoed:

"Next one."

The second Evil Object swiftly flew forward.

This was a monster completely shrouded in armor, emitting countless purple ripples outward.

It wore a crown and held a scepter, pointing at the glass vessel:

"I grant you an endless evil transformation ritual."

No sooner had the words fallen, countless blood-red silhouettes emerged around the glass vessel, beginning to chant something devoutly as soon as they appeared.

The blood-red silhouettes multiplied, forming walls on all sides, seemingly about to completely enclose the glass vessel.

A more sorrowful wailing came from within the glass vessel.

This cry spread throughout the scene, instantly turning the walls formed by the blood-red silhouettes into dust.

The monster suspended in mid-air burst out with a mist of blood, trembled, and fell to the ground.

Even a few Evil Objects observing from the terrace staggered and fell.

A line of small bronze words emerged:

"This attack targets Evil Objects, and is ineffective against you."

Wu Xiaode glanced, but his heart was filled with urgency.

Run.

Why haven't you run yet?

Do you think you can defeat all the Evil Objects alone?

The voice of the skeleton rang out again:

"Do not fear, this is her power as a weapon. If you can obtain her—"

The skeleton's words were not finished.

However, the remaining Evil Objects were tempted.

Yet they had already failed twice in a row, with even the second attempt affecting the bystanders.

How exactly could one obtain this Holy Realm weapon?

For a moment, no one moved.

Wu Xiaode could wait no longer.

Xia Huilan had already cried twice!

Crying meant she was almost at her wit's end!

—But what could he do?

He would never allow her to undergo evil transformation, yet had no way to persuade her.

After all, who would believe a "nightmare"?

Yet he still couldn't figure out what to do, but he could no longer wait.

Because on the front left terrace, an Evil Object seemed about to take flight—

No more chances for them!

Wu Xiaode leaped into the air first, flying towards the gigantic glass vessel.

With his movement, the Evil Object hesitated.

Ultimately, the Evil Object lingered on the terrace, choosing to wait and see for now.

Wu Xiaode breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was still on edge.

—How could he persuade her?

He couldn't.

As a nightmare, he had no way.

She might even kill him!

No.

He was now an Evil Object.

She would definitely kill him!

The next second.

He arrived in front of the glass vessel.

The whole scene was watching.

Wu Xiaode paused for a moment, then suddenly tore off the crosser on his waist and placed it in front of the glass vessel.

"This is my gift to you."

He said.

"?" Crosser.

"???" Skeleton.

"???" The surrounding Evil Objects.

Wu Xiaode summoned all his Soul Power and shouted: "Accept this gift and become my servant!"

"But if you completely destroy this gift and read my memories, then you don't have to be my servant!"

"Choose!"

In an instant.

Lines of small bronze words appeared:

"You have activated the Netherworld profession: Nightmare Demon Palace Master's 'Nightmare Heart'."

"The test is established."

"If the opponent accepts your 'crosser', they will become your servant; if they destroy the gift and read your memories, they may not become your servant."

"By choosing, the opponent signifies acceptance of the test."

"If the opponent makes a choice outside these two, it is equivalent to not accepting the test; 'Nightmare Heart' fails."

"If Nightmare Heart fails, the opponent must accept your full-strength attack."

"Note!"

"The opponent is too powerful and has completely understood the Causality Law of this move!"

"The opponent has started to choose!"

Wu Xiaode remained fearless, silently watching the gigantic glass vessel.

He gambled right!

This was the Holy Realm's "ultimate mysterious blade".

She effortlessly killed those two Evil Objects and would certainly understand his skill!

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

This kind of choice was already very obvious.

—The Holy Realm's weapon, Xia Huilan, unpolluted by evil, how could she possibly accept a "crosser" as a gift and become someone's servant?

So her choice would undoubtedly be the second—

Destroy the "crosser" and read the "Nightmare Body's" memory!

Both actions were extremely safe for her!

Splat.

Wu Xiaode only felt the "crosser" in his hand crack open, turning into a cloud of red dust, fluttering to the ground.

It worked!

In this way, using Xia Huilan's hand, he silenced the crosser, ensuring no one would know the origin of this "Nightmare Body" or its original intentions.

Immediately afterward—

A sharp pain in the brain.

Countless scenes from his memories flashed by as if someone was rapidly flicking through them.

Family residence, alley.

That knife.

Entering the Death Demon Cave.

Returning.

Saving Xia Huilan.

Fighting.

Dealing with the threat of the Demon God.

Returning to the Past Epoch, becoming the Ning Shen Temple Leader.

Joining the Destruction Council.

…

Everything was laid out cleanly before her.

And all of it could prove one thing—

"I am here to save you, come with me."

Wu Xiaode said softly.
