234: Chapter 233: Reality, Divine Realm

Inside the deduction chamber, the thunderstorm nebula had just collapsed.

The new environment rapidly reorganized in the Void Realm.

The surrounding temperature plummeted sharply, and dark blue ice crystals condensed in the air, transforming into an endless, bone-chilling ice field.

Fierce winds howled, whipping up icicles capable of freezing the Divine Soul.

A hundred meters away, space distorted.

A phantom of a deity composed entirely of deep blue mystic ice condensed and formed.

It was clad in frost battle armor and wielded a ten-meter-long giant frost scythe.

Above its head, a prototype godhood emanating extreme coldness slowly rotated.

Seventh-turn demigod, proficient in the Frost Law.

"Test item one, pure Physical Body limit."

Lin Yuan actively cut off the circulation of Divine Power within his body, simultaneously retracting his grayish-white Domain.

Relying purely on physical strength.

The frost deity's hollow eyes locked onto Lin Yuan, and the giant scythe in its hand swung.

Crack.

The ice field beneath Lin Yuan's feet instantly came to life.

Dozen of thick ice spikes burst through the ground, stabbing directly at his vital points from tricky angles.

Lin Yuan kicked off with his right leg.

Bang!

The solid ice beneath his feet cracked over a large area, and the reaction force pushed his body springing outward, narrowly dodging the strangulation of the ice spikes.

His figure twisted in mid-air, his right fist clenched tightly, and borrowing the momentum of his descent, he smashed a punch toward the frost deity's head.

The pure might of his Physical Body compressed the air, forming rings of white sonic boom clouds.

The frost deity did not dodge at all.

The prototype godhood above its head erupted with blue light.

Just as Lin Yuan's fist was three chi away from the frost deity,

the space ahead suddenly solidified.

The moisture in the air formed a mystic ice shield several zhang thick.

Boom!

The fist blade smashed into the mystic ice shield, and ice chips flew wildly.

Lin Yuan relied on his terrifying physical strength to forcefully smash through the ice shield, but the kinetic energy on his fist was also weakened layer by layer.

When the fist finally landed on the frost deity's armor, it left only a shallow white mark.

The frost deity backhanded with a horizontal sweep of its giant scythe.

Lin Yuan exerted force from his waist, leaning his body backward as the scythe blade grazed past the tip of his nose, whipping up a bone-chilling cold wind.

Before Lin Yuan could steady his figure, the frost deity's body suddenly collapsed, turning into flying snow filling the sky.

The next second, the flying snow reorganized behind Lin Yuan. The giant scythe slashed down once more.

Lin Yuan could only rely on his beast-like intuition to continuously roll and dodge.

The next ten minutes were completely a one-sided cat-and-mouse game.

Utilizing its elementalization trait, the frost deity continuously teleported and reorganized across the ice field.

It did not go head-to-head with Lin Yuan, instead constantly changing the surrounding environment and terrain.

Using endless ice spikes, blizzards, and extreme low temperatures to consume Lin Yuan's stamina.

Relying on his freakish Physical Body, Lin Yuan stubbornly endured hundreds of frost baptisms, his body gradually growing numb and stiff.

"Stop."

Lin Yuan issued a command, his figure retreating explosively by a hundred meters.

He looked at the frost deity in the distance that once again turned into flying snow and dissipated, shaking his already frozen-stiff arm.

The strength of his Physical Body had pretty much been tested out.

Relying solely on his Physical Body, he could already match ordinary seventh-turn demigods.

As for wanting to kill the opponent, it was still quite lacking.

"Reset status, enter the second stage test."

Lin Yuan took a deep breath.

The dormant Divine Power within his body revived.

Dark golden Divine Power surged through his Meridians, and six dazzling divine rings manifested behind his head.

With a thought in his mind,

dark silver Star-Treading Boots covered his feet.

The Dark-Extinguishing Shadowless Cloak as deep as the night sky draped over his shoulders.

A bronze-textured Taixu Soul-Suppressing Seal hovered above the Myriad Daos prototype godhood at the center of his Sea of Consciousness.

His right hand grasped into the void.

A dark red sinful blood sword appeared out of thin air. The scarlet vertical eye at the hilt abruptly opened, emitting a monstrous Evil Qi.

Fully equipped.

The mechanical voice of the deduction chamber sounded.

[Environment resetting... Opponent matching...]

The bone-chilling ice field rapidly faded away.

Replacing it was an underground cave flowing with scorching lava.

In the center of the lava lake, a fifty-meter-tall Lava Behemoth slowly stood up.

Its entire body was composed of dark red rocks and flowing lava.

Above its head, a prototype godhood burning with crimson flames released a terrifying high temperature.

Seventh-turn demigod Peak, proficient in both Earth and Flame dual Laws.

Roar!

The Lava Behemoth let out a roar.

The prototype godhood rotated.

The gravity within a radius of one thousand meters instantly surged by one hundred thousand times.

On the rock walls of the underground cave, countless millstone-sized lava fireballs smashed toward Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan stood in place, his expression completely calm.

The array patterns on the Star-Treading Boots beneath his feet lit up.

Earth-Shrinking Step.

Lin Yuan's figure instantly disappeared from where he stood, ignoring the pull of gravity.

Directly crossing a spatial distance of hundreds of meters, he appeared directly above the Lava Behemoth's head.

The Lava Behemoth reacted extremely quickly.

It slapped upward with its palm, and a column of lava gushed from its palm center.

The Dark-Extinguishing Shadowless Cloak draped over Lin Yuan stirred without wind.

The edges of the cloak devoured light, completely erasing Lin Yuan's aura and Divine Power fluctuations.

The Lava Behemoth's lock failed, and the lava column brushed past Lin Yuan's afterimage, surging toward the cave ceiling.

Lin Yuan gripped the hilt of the sinful blood sword with both hands, infusing Divine Power into it.

The blood vessel patterns on the sword body bulged, and the scarlet vertical eye stared at the prototype godhood above the Lava Behemoth's head.

Trait triggered: Sin Blood Armor-Piercing.

Lin Yuan slashed down with a sword.

A dark red sword radiance a hundred meters long tore through the Void Realm.

The ultra-strong rock shield condensed by the Earth Law on the surface of the Lava Behemoth's body,

upon contacting the sword radiance, was split in half like a hot knife cutting through butter.

The sword radiance momentum carried it to slash onto the Lava Behemoth's shoulder, hacking off a huge rocky arm.

The Lava Behemoth let out a hiss, a large amount of lava blood gushing from its wound.

It attempted to mobilize the Flame Law to repair its injuries.

Lin Yuan brought his left index and middle fingers together, swiftly tracing in the Void Realm.

Divine Art · Wither-Bloom Mark.

A trace of grayish-black light struck into the severed arm wound of the Lava Behemoth.

The "Wither" mark erupted.

The violent vitality and flame energy within the Lava Behemoth were forcibly stripped and converted by the grayish-black Death Qi.

Its massive body dimmed and turned grayish-white at a rate visible to the naked eye, and the lava cooled into lifeless volcanic ash.

The bloodthirsty feedback trait of the sinful blood sword took effect simultaneously.

The dark red sword body frantically devoured the remaining Divine Power of the Lava Behemoth, converting it into pure energy that surged into Lin Yuan's body along the hilt.

In a mere three seconds.

A Peak seventh-turn Lava Behemoth transformed into a pile of lifeless rubble, collapsing into the lava lake.

Lin Yuan lightly landed on the shore, twirled a sword flower, and held the blood sword in his hand pointing diagonally at the ground.

"Divine Artifact plus Divine Art, the efficiency is indeed high."

He quickly evaluated in his heart.

In front of the spatial transition of the Star-Treading Boots and the concealment of the Dark-Extinguishing Shadowless Cloak, ordinary seventh-turn deities could not form an effective lock.

As long as they were approached, the absolute armor-piercing of the sinful blood sword paired with the vitality stripping of the Wither-Bloom Mark was enough to complete an instant kill.

The deduction chamber continued to operate.

Over the next few hours, Lin Yuan immersed himself in frenzied slaughter testing.

The environment constantly changed. Deep sea, starry sky, poison swamp, thunder pool.

Opponents appeared one after another in rapid succession.

Peak seventh-turn deep-sea giant kraken, assassination-proficient Void Walker, highly toxic-controlling Zerg Broodmother.

Without exception, all were slain under Lin Yuan's sword relying on pure Divine Power application and Divine Artifact cooperation.

During this period, he never once used the power of the Myriad Daos prototype godhood and Domain.

Until a hint of stuttering appeared in the System's mechanical voice.

[Detected that the user's consecutive wins are too high... Combat power model rebuilding...]

[Generating eighth-turn demigod opponent.]

The space of the entire deduction chamber oscillated.

This time, the environment did not change; it was still a blank void.

But in the center of the void appeared a Holy Light Angel with eight wings growing on its back.

The angel's eyes were tightly closed, its hands clasped in front of its chest.

Above its head was no longer a single prototype godhood, but a projection of a miniature Divine Kingdom exuding dazzling Holy Light.

Eighth-turn demigod, Law Realm.

In this world, it was the only truth.

The Holy Light Angel opened its eyes, gazing apathetically at Lin Yuan.

The miniature Divine Kingdom projection slowly descended.

Lin Yuan instantly felt an irresistible repulsive force squeezing in from all directions.

The spatial array patterns of the Star-Treading Boots flickered, and Earth-Shrinking Step failed.

The surrounding spatial coordinates were forcibly locked down by the Holy Light Law.

The concealment effect of the Dark-Extinguishing Shadowless Cloak was also greatly weakened.

The Holy Light permeated everywhere, illuminating every inch of shadow.

In his Sea of Consciousness, the Taixu Soul-Suppressing Seal vibrated frantically, resisting wave after wave of Holy Light brainwashing and mental pollution.

"Is this the suppression power of the eighth turn?"

Lin Yuan gritted his teeth, the Divine Power shield on his body surface continuously emitting sizzling dissolution sounds under the scouring of the Holy Light.

The Holy Light Angel raised its right hand and pointed a finger out.

A pillar of Holy Light as thick as a bucket pierced through the Void Realm, heading straight for Lin Yuan's face.

Lin Yuan swung the sinful blood sword to parry.

Bang!

The immense impact shook Lin Yuan back several hundred meters. The web of his hand cracked, and fresh blood flowed down the hilt.

The blood sword's armor-piercing trait appeared rather strenuous when facing the eighth-turn Divine Kingdom projection.

The sword radiance had just torn open a layer of Holy Light when even more Holy Light surged over to fill the gap.

"Relying purely on Divine Artifacts and Divine Arts to cross two tiers and fight an eighth-turn is a bit too far of a stretch."

Lin Yuan made a judgment.

The Law density and worldview suppression of the eighth turn had already exceeded the scope of what mere techniques and external objects could make up for.

He had to use some real skills.

"Full status, activate."

Lin Yuan no longer held back.

Deep within his Sea of Consciousness, the Myriad Daos prototype godhood with Origin as the base and End as the cover began to operate.

The grayish-white Domain unfolded, forcibly propping open an absolute space belonging to Lin Yuan within the Holy Light Realm.

Lin Yuan's aura climbed steadily step by step.

He took a step forward, and the Qi of End within the Domain transformed into a black spear that tore through everything, directly piercing through the Holy Light Angel's Realm defense.

The Origin fire attached to the sinful blood sword.

Lin Yuan's figure was like lightning, cutting directly close to the Holy Light Angel.

Beheading it with a single sword stroke.

The Holy Light Angel's head was thrown high into the air, and the miniature Divine Kingdom projection shattered inch by inch under the strangulation of the Law of End.

[Simulation ended.]

Lin Yuan panted heavily, putting away his Divine Artifacts and Domain.

With his combat power in full status, below the ninth-turn demigod, he could sweep across horizontally.

Even if he encountered a ninth-turn, if he couldn't beat them, he could still calmly retreat.

His objective had already been achieved.

He had a clearer understanding of his current combat power boundaries.

"Exit simulation."

Light and shadow flowed as Lin Yuan stood once again in the living room of Villa No. 079.

He walked over to the futon and sat cross-legged.

What needed to be done next was to completely digest the existing resources on hand and solidify his pseudo-seventh-turn Foundation.

Lin Yuan waved his hand.

A large amount of top-tier divine medicine and Heaven And Earth Treasure scattered across the ground.

The Ten-Thousand-Year Earth Core Milk capable of refining the divine body, the Blood Marrow Ganoderma for strengthening bone hardness... and so on.

Among them, the most eye-catching were a few specially made Seal boxes, neatly stacked with 32,000 blocks inside.

He intended to absorb these legacies of Blood Crow all at once until he had enough.

"Let's begin."

Lin Yuan closed his eyes, and the Myriad Daos prototype godhood in his Sea of Consciousness slowly rotated.

The Origin fire spread out from within his body, enveloping the mountain-like pile of resources in the living room.

Sizzling.

Whether it was divine crystals or Heaven And Earth Treasures, under the calcination of the Origin fire, they all transformed into the purest attribute-less Origin energy.

These energies, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, surged into his body along Lin Yuan's pores.

Lin Yuan guided this massive energy stream, constantly scouring his limbs and bones, ultimately converging into the Sea of Consciousness and injecting it into the Myriad Daos prototype godhood.

The prototype godhood was like an endlessly unfillable black hole, greedily devouring everything.

As energy was continuously injected, more materialized crystals appeared on the edges of the semi-illusory and semi-real prototype godhood.

Although Lin Yuan had not yet extracted redundant Law fragments to fill this furnace,

leading to the interior of the godhood still having only the underlying logic of the cycle of life and death,

under the hard smashing of massive resources,

the energy density of this prototype godhood was continuously climbing, moving closer to a true entity.

Time passed minute by minute.

Lin Yuan was like an old monk in meditation, and the resource mountain inside the villa shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye.

...

Inside the Wasteland Divine Domain.

During the time Lin Yuan was tossing about outside, several hundred years had already passed inside the Divine Domain.

Over these past few hundred years, the interior of the Divine Domain had always been in a state of all things contending and endless slaughter.

Everything looked normal.

But if one sensed carefully, they would discover

that a subtle change had occurred in the atmosphere of the entire Wasteland Divine Domain.

Above the dim canopy of the Divine Domain and within the lava buried deep underground,

there was an extra, indescribable sense of inclusiveness.

The influence of a chaotic-colored crystal on the underlying rules of the Divine Domain was intensifying.

Just like the End and Origin fragments that Lin Yuan had previously fused with.
