Use first and repay later: Advance the future cultivation fruits

However—

"Hmm?"

In just a moment, Lin Qing noticed that the silver-white mouse suddenly opened its eyes, instantly breaking free from this virtual world, as if this imaginary world could not confine it at all!

"What terrifying willpower!"

Lin Qing's eyes changed.

Even if it was a will of the same level, the Illusion World Extinction could forcibly trap the opponent, at least reducing the opponent's strength to only two or three tenths.

If it encountered a will lower by one level, it could even be directly obliterated!

But…

Once it met a will stronger by one tier, the Illusion World Extinction would become ineffective.

And this Demon Royal Family member, its soul before reincarnation was clearly not an ordinary Transcender, its spiritual will had unexpectedly reached a higher level!

"The Illusion World Extinction is useless now."

Lin Qing's heart sank, instantly understanding the difficulty of this test.

He could only rely on his own strength!

"I am much stronger than other Survivors, and I have the projection of the Lifebound Cosmic Treasure. With my own strength, there should still be hope..."

Just as this thought flashed through Lin Qing's mind—

"Boom!"

The space-time around the palace wall suddenly twisted, and a frighteningly fast silver streak of light burst out from it!

Lin Qing's pupils slightly shrank, "So fast!"

Just by seeing this speed, he knew he was no match for this Demon King.

"Crack!"

In an instant, the red gemstone bracelet on his wrist shattered, instantly transforming into a layer of hazy white light enveloping him.

At the same time, that silver-white streak of light collided with Lin Qing's body, and the terrifying force filled with icy coldness erupted completely, causing Lin Qing to be flung out like a cannonball.

"No choice left..."

Under the protection of the hazy white light, Lin Qing sighed helplessly and immediately crushed the crystal statue he had prepared in advance.

In the next moment—

He vanished into thin air, instantly reappearing in the cabin of the Abyss ship, ten kilometers away.

The silver-white streak of light circled the small island without finding any trace of Lin Qing, and then returned inside the palace.

...

"The gap is too big..."

In the Abyss ship's cabin, Lin Qing took a deep breath, furrowing his brows, "It's indeed a test set by His Majesty the Light King. The gap between me and that Demon King is actually this large..."

Not only was his strongest Will Secret Technique, the 'Illusion World Extinction,' completely ineffective, but there was also a huge disparity in raw strength.

If it weren't for the two pre-prepared life-saving treasures, he might have died just now.

"With such a big gap, how can I make up for it?"

Lin Qing couldn't help but furrow his brows, "What areas do I still have room to improve..."

...

Outside the Survival World, within the Supervision Divine Hall.

"Lord Hong Nuo, this Survivor is really cautious, only now going to face the Demon King?"

Supervisor Qiu sighed, "I don't even understand why this lord chose to give up everything to reincarnate into the Survival World for what purpose. Is this level of difficulty really a tempering for an Ultimate Being?"

The elegant young man in simple white clothes said calmly, "How can the thoughts of the Emperors be something you can speculate about? However..."

He watched Lin Qing, who was now setting foot on the island, on the water screen, "If it's a test from an Ultimate Being, perhaps it might not be this simple..."

"It's just a Demon King." Supervisor Qiu said carelessly, "With this Survivor's strength, coupled with that terrifying Will Secret Technique and the almost indestructible armor projected by the Lifebound Cosmic Treasure, he should be able to kill it in a few moves, right?"

"Let's see." The elegant young man said softly.

In the next moment—

"Hm?"

Supervisor Qiu's face changed, "Impossible! How could a Transcender forced to reincarnate as a test subject have willpower that could influence the Time River?"

The elegant young man also slightly narrowed his eyes.

Newly crossed Transcenders who are just stepping into the threshold of Space-Time Rule are merely the weakest Chaotic Creatures and can't even enter the Time River, let alone explore the Endless Chaos, only lingering at the Universe's edge, not daring to stray far; their will is only barely at the True Transformation level.

Yet further advancement allows High-Level Chaos Creatures to enter the Time River, where their will, fostered by the Time River, can transform to a higher tier.

This is a level where one's will can influence time-space changes!

Those who haven't Transcended may have a sliver of hope to temper their will to the Universe's upper limit at the True Transformation level, but it's nearly impossible to refine it to a point where they can affect the Time River!

Having a will at such a level, even a mere mortal could change space-time with sheer will, such as short-distance space-time travel, space-time overlaying, and more.

Possessing such will in the Survival World, the rapid increase in power is simply unimaginable.

"Moreover, the strength of this Demon King is greater than what we prepared for, and it's even approaching the world's rule limit."

Supervisor Qiu couldn't help but say, "My lord, before deploying this Demon King, we confirmed its will was only at the True Transformation level. Now it's suddenly reached the High-Level Chaos Creatures' tier. There's likely a secret, probably related to some blood mutation within it. Should we halt the Survival World and extract that bloodline to—"

"Don't bother with it."

The elegant young man said expressionlessly, "Just remember, this Survival World is already the testing ground set by that Ultimate Being to test their disciple. All seemingly unreasonable sudden occurrences might be within that Ultimate Being's expectations. Otherwise, how could the original difficulty be fitting as a test for an Ultimate Being?"

He glanced at Supervisor Qiu, "Stopping the Survival World now, are you looking to anger the Emperor?"

Supervisor Qiu was taken aback and said, "But this Demon King is already extraordinarily strong. Even if this Survivor's power reaches the Survival World's upper limit, it's still impossible to win..."

The elegant young man paused for a moment, "There is still a sliver of possibility. Although in our eyes it seems impossible, maybe that's the Ultimate Being's requirement?"
