Devouring the Stars: Reboot, Serpent of Eternity!

Chapter 378: Imprint of Will
Jiang Zhe muttered to himself and became cautious.

It should be noted that he is the will of the Eternal True God. The fact that the strange fog can still affect him on the soul side, which is where he is best at, is enough to prove how high his level is.

In other words, it could threaten his life.

'If this is indeed a test, the people to be selected must be soul-based geniuses. Soulless beings who rely on bugs to get to the bottom of the level and deceive the creator of this place will definitely end up in a bad way.'

After comprehensive consideration, Jiang Zhe reorganized his divine body and turned it back into 89999 times more flesh and blood life.

He walked into the thick white fog of the rift, allowing it to penetrate his most powerful and precious armor and act on his soul, confusing his sense of direction... and then relied on many other clones, incarnations and even his original self as "anchor points" to quickly correct himself.

Jiang Zhe was amazed, 'If this effect is combined with the formations in the world of immortal heroes, such as maze formations, illusion formations, killing formations... it will be absolutely amazing.'

After determining the direction, Jiang Zhe flew sideways to the right of the normal direction.

There were several times when his senses were inexplicably reversed, causing the flight direction to deviate, but Jiang Zhe corrected the direction by connecting and comparing with various "anchor points". After flying about 3 kilometers, he touched the cliff on the right side of the rift.

"It's much easier to move forward by feeling the cliff. You don't have to rush around in the fog like a headless fly and adjust your direction from time to time."

As he was muttering to himself, Jiang Zhe suddenly raised his eyebrows and remembered another characteristic of the strange fog.

"Thunder comes!"

With a low shout, he activated the magical power of [Projection Magic] acquired when chopping trees for the eighteenth time, which activated the most powerful domain-type treasure in the Kingdom of God, the Thunder Emperor Seal.

scoff-

Dark purple lightning burst out and spread out in the surroundings, trying to disperse the white fog that filled the surroundings, and quickly expanded into a sea of ​​thunder.

In the blink of an eye, the problem appeared.

The white mist seemed like a false illusion, not a real thing, and the lightning passed through the mist without affecting it at all;
But what's even more bizarre is that the fog can actually affect the expanding lightning. When the lightning passes through the fog, it obviously senses resistance, its power is weakened, and its control over time and space is greatly reduced.

The result of pushing the realm of the most powerful treasure to the extreme left Jiang Zhe dumbfounded.

"My huge thunder pond of several light years is only 1 kilometers in diameter? The range of my divine power that can be radiated is even worse. I still have to rely on the assistance of the strongest treasure field to explore the situation within a radius of 5000 kilometers."

Jiang Zhe shook his head helplessly and convinced himself to accept this harsh restriction.

After all, the white mist can affect his will at the level of the Eternal True God. The level is indeed terrifyingly high. It is normal that it can suppress the True God-level treasure and the power of the Lord of the Universe.

“If it were a true god or the Lord of the Universe who didn’t understand the situation, he would probably just use his divine power to sweep outside the rift and bypass this place, not daring to explore deeper.”

"Some have walked the last section of the road..."

Jiang Zhe sighed lightly, and moved the "Thunder Pool" area forward along the cliff, maintaining a just right speed as he flew towards the depths of the rift.

After entering the rift valley for about hundreds of millions of kilometers.

call out!
The white fog surged violently, and suddenly, a mist eagle with a wingspan of more than ten meters swooped into the thunder pool. Its flying speed exceeded the speed of light, allowing it to instantly pounce in front of Jiang Zhe.

It's fast, and Jiang Zhe's reaction is even faster.

He flipped his right hand and a flash of lightning appeared, stretching into a spear. He raised his hand and threw it out, trying to kill the fog eagle.

Unexpectedly, yet reasonably, the lightning spear penetrated the fog sculpture without causing any effect on it. Just like the white fog that filled the surroundings, it was like an illusion, or as if it were in another time and space and could not be touched.

It doesn’t matter, Jiang Zhe has another trick up his sleeve.

Although the fog sculpture was extremely fast, after it rushed into the thunder pool, the straight-line distance between it and Jiang Zhe was less than 5000 kilometers. Even if the suppression of the thunder pool had no effect on the fog sculpture, this short period of time was enough for Jiang Zhe to complete three or four attacks.

"burst!"

The burning and violent virtual divine power condensed into a several-meter-long lightning sword, which suddenly appeared in front of the Mist Sculpture and chopped down on its head. When it touched the Mist Sculpture, it suddenly exploded, triggering a fierce storm that destroyed its soul.

Palm Thunder·Destroy Explosive Sword!

Soul Mystic Edition.

This attack can destroy the soul of a fifth-level universe master.

call out!
Who would have thought that the fog sculpture would pass through the soul storm unscathed, without being affected at all. It was as if it were a non-existent shadow, unaffected by physical or soul attacks.

"Excessive!"

"Does the intruder need to endure it forcefully?"

Considering the speed of the fog eagle and the distance between them, Jiang Zhe still had one chance to attack. However, he did not intercept it again. Instead, he chose to keep the battlefield in his own divine body.

The master's mind was closely guarding the "boundary" on his chest, and the part of his soul hidden inside was enveloped by the twelve-colored light (Hunyuan Umbrella), raising the soul's defense strength to the extreme.

On Pengmo's clone's side, he used [Projection Magic] to summon the "Golden Shears" nurtured in his original "realm" to guard the soul and prepare for a counterattack.

The most powerful treasure on his body that had turned into black stone was also fully activated.

The fog eagle swooped down with great momentum, but it failed to make Jiang Zhe retreat even a single step. The huge figure with a wingspan of more than ten meters seemed fake and disappeared when it touched Jiang Zhe. In fact, it penetrated the armor and drilled into his divine body.

In an instant, it was as if billions of golden eagles were roaring in his consciousness, shocking his mind and tearing at the same time Jiang Zhe's soul. It felt like he was cutting his soul to feed the eagles.

Suddenly, a cold light flashed in the soul, as if a bucket of ice water was poured under the scorching sun, and the noisy eagle calls were silenced.

A pair of scissors appeared around each of the fog sculptures that were tearing at their souls, opened their blades, and cut them, causing them to explode into fluffy mist and be completely annihilated.

"It is indeed a soul attack, but it is only at the fourth level..."

After a brief reflection, Jiang Zhe did not stop, but pushed the "forbidden zone" area and continued to move forward.

One after another, the mist birds attacked——

Jiang Zhe allowed them to flow into his divine body and attack his soul... and then he was suppressed and destroyed by the "Golden Dragon Shears".

gradually.

Jiang Zhe noticed something and frowned.

"Where did this powerful will suddenly come from and fall on my soul?"

Feeling it carefully, he found that the pressure of this will was not strong, it was just at the limit of the Lord of the Universe, and it was not even an itch for him.

outside world?

No, the surrounding cliffs or white mist do not carry any pressure of will, and no other source can be sensed.

After some self-examination, Jiang Zhe discovered that the reason was internal, which made him even more confused - a strange will and pressure burst out from his own body, oppressing him?
call out!
The white fog surged violently, and a mist crane with a wingspan of nearly 100 meters swooped into the "Thunder Pool" area, stretched its neck and pecked at it.

In an instant, Jiang Zhe suddenly realized.

"Is it these mist birds that are responsible? Yes! I withstood their soul attacks head-on. Although they were defeated, they left marks on my soul. The marks piled up one after another, forming a powerful will pressure!"

"I have probably guessed how to intercept the mist birds."

Maha Cosmic God, start!

Jiang Zhe mobilized his willpower and glared at the Mist Crane that was pecking at him.

"broken!"

boom--

Puff - under the impact of will, the mist crane exploded, the dominant imprint of will inside was cleared, and the scattered mist could no longer gather into shape.

At the same time, Jiang Zhe also discovered the layers of will imprinted on his soul.

The ultimate will and pressure of the Lord of the Universe comes from it. Now, we only need to mobilize our will to wash it away.

However, Jiang Zhe did not take action.

"I am very interested in this method!"

"One after another, soul attacks leave behind a series of will imprints. When they accumulate to a certain level, they explode in an instant. The impact of the will that bursts out can reach an astonishing level!"

As we all know, except for the "Art of Arrays", the secret art of will attack has its limits.

Most of them can only knock out those whose willpower is one level lower than their own, and it is almost impossible to completely destroy their will and kill them.

The situation just encountered provides an idea for strengthening the secret technique of will attack.

"Perhaps by using this method of accumulating little by little and wearing away a stone with water dripping, I can make the will attack secret technique work on an opponent whose willpower is comparable to mine, causing severe damage."

"One after another, the soul attacks left a mark of will. When the quantity accumulates to a certain level, then... a bang!"

Therefore, Jiang Zhe did not use his will attacks to defeat the mist birds, but let them fall on him, leaving the imprint of his will, and the pressure of his will acting on his soul slowly increased.

While advancing towards the depths of the rift valley.

While comprehending the increasingly clear imprint of will on his soul.

Soon, the monsters formed by the fog were no longer limited to birds, but also fish, beasts, flying dragons, giants... Their sizes ranged from nearly a hundred meters to more than a hundred meters, and then to several hundred meters in length.

As the body size increases, the intensity of the soul attack also increases.

A hundred-meter-long mist whale crashing into the divine body is equivalent to the damage caused by a fifth-level soul secret technique;
A three-hundred-meter-long mist dragon crashing into a divine body is equivalent to enduring a sixth-order soul attack;

The length of the fog monster was over 500 meters, and its damage increased by one level, equivalent to a level 7 soul attack.

Until the first kilometer-long fog monster appeared, every collision was equivalent to an eighth-level soul attack, forcing Jiang Zhe to take it seriously.

As the size of the fog monster grows, the damage it causes increases, and the imprint of its will on Jiang Zhe's soul becomes thicker.

"The strength of the willpower has reached the level of the Void True God. It's really terrifying..."

Although he said this, Jiang Zhe's face did not show any worry, but a smile instead.

If you get beaten every day, you should at least give yourself a piece of candy, right?
Otherwise, how can I just sit there and endure this bullshit?

As the number of will imprints on the soul increases, Jiang Zhe can see the secrets of the "will imprints" more clearly, so he enjoys it.

“I will stop when the willpower pressure accumulates to the limit of the Void True God. If it rises to the level of the Eternal True God, I am afraid I will not be able to handle any accidents…”

Jiang Zhe set a bottom line for himself, but there was no chance that this bottom line would be touched.

We flew along the cliff wall, deep into the rift valley for about one trillion kilometers, or about one-ninth of a light year. The fog became thinner, and the monster did not jump out again.

It was not until Jiang Zhe's sight passed through the hazy fog and saw a huge black hole nearly 100,000 kilometers high appearing in front of him.

"Calculating the distance, it's almost there... The end of the rift valley may indeed be ahead, but according to Herod's description, shouldn't it be a rock wall as smooth as a mirror? That's also the origin of the name 'Jianzhen Valley'."

"How did the rock wall turn into a cave? Don't we need to be reflected by the stone mirror and tested? Could it be that someone in the ancient civilization ruins has already got there first?"

Jiang Zhe sped up and flew forward. When the fog gradually became thinner and invisible, the imprint of will hanging on his soul suddenly disappeared.

"it's over?"

Jiang Zhe stopped and looked regretful.

Then, he quickly took out a heritage crystal, recalled his previous insights, sketched out a series of mysterious patterns, and imprinted them on the heritage crystal.

After a long while, he stopped what he was doing and came back to his senses.

"From a superficial point of view, these secret patterns I have comprehended have a 'superposition' effect, which is similar to the idea of ​​integrating the strongest secret method, but it is obviously much more advanced, and has a high degree of compatibility with the soul and will. It is very compatible with me... It should be useful when I create the next secret method."

Afterwards, he put away the inheritance crystal and walked into a cliff cave that was nearly 100,000 kilometers high.

The tunnel was pitch black, with only the glowing crystals embedded in the surrounding rock walls providing a faint light. If it weren't for the sense of being grounded, Jiang Zhe would have felt like he had escaped into the dark universe of the primordial universe.

At the end of the tunnel is a large door that occupies the entire cross-section of the tunnel. It is made of dark green metal, like unearthed bronze, and a pair of metal door panels are carved with unknown strange beasts.

Clang—whoosh—

As Jiang Zhe approached, the door opened automatically as if sensing something.

The light spread out from the door like a carpet, as if welcoming Jiang Zhe's arrival.

The world behind the door was as wide as a square. After Jiang Zhe stepped in, the door behind him disappeared. There were no restrictive walls above or around him. It seemed like an endless sky, and he was standing on a sky arena.

“Fight it and keep moving forward.”

A cold electronic sound suddenly rang out.

A pool of silver liquid gushed out on the metal floor ten thousand meters in front of Jiang Zhe. The wriggling silver liquid quickly turned into a nearly three-meter-tall silver metal man, rushing towards Jiang Zhe.

He suddenly jumped up from a thousand meters away, holding a big sword in both hands, the sword blade shining with silver light, and made a fierce jump and slash.

Jiang Zhe raised his left hand and grabbed in the air. A round animal hide shield appeared in his hand. The Gorgon on the shield seemed alive, opening her mouth and letting out a silent roar.

"Burning Soul, Level 1!"

Using the secret technique of burning divine power, he caused the divine power to burn violently, pouring into the round shield and blocking the silver-bodied swordsman who was jumping and slashing at him.

Clang!
The sword and shield collided, and a teeth-grinding explosion spread out. The terrifying shock wave swept around, setting off a storm that could shatter large areas of the star field.

In the center of the storm, the birdman with golden wings and golden feathers held a shield to resist the attack and did not retreat a single step.

The yellow-brown light on the shield spread, swallowing up the murderous silver light on the sword's edge, gaining the upper hand in the subsequent confrontation, and even spreading to most of the sword body, turning it into stone.

The silver swordsman wanted to draw his sword and retreat, but was "welded" to the round shield by the petrification effect.

"An attack with the power of the sixth order?"

"That's right. After all, I am the master of the universe. This strength is just right for the starting assessment."

Jiang Zhe nodded slightly, and clenched his free right hand hard. Lightning burst out and stretched, turning into a nearly three-meter-long lightning spear, which hit the silver-bodied swordsman with lightning speed.

The silver swordsman fell and flew out, turning into a pool of silver liquid, which merged into the floor and disappeared.

"A sixth-level puppet will be judged defeated if a seventh-level attack lands on it? This requirement is quite low... In the universe sea, a difference of two levels can be killed, and a difference of three levels is a sure kill."

wow——

A silver vortex appeared in front of Jiang Zhe.

The birdman with golden wings and golden feathers stepped in, holding a shield in one hand and a spear in the other.
