Traveling across the globe for the first time

Zhang Haoran laughed loudly, "Hahaha! That's awesome! Now that's more like it!"

From the moment he stepped into the passage, he was subjected to a 360° all-around attack.

Above them were endless bolts of lightning, and from all sides, including below, were all sorts of weapons attacking.

Zhang Haoran swung his Blood Shadow Sword, and with a whoosh, a golden sword light flew out, shattering the lightning that was striking his head. With a turn of his sword, he cut the weapon attacking from below into ashes.

He chose to absorb all the remaining attacks, relying on his golden body to withstand them. His Undying Body was activated to its limit, unleashing a dark golden light. The weapons that struck him only made loud thuds, causing no real damage.
After all, this was only a level 6 attack, and it was a physical attack. He had the strongest resistance in this area, and although there were many attacks, they couldn't even break through his defenses.

Boom boom boom!
Each bolt of lightning struck him, making him shudder.

"Hmm! Law-based attacks are still more powerful; those weapon attacks are just weaklings."

Although most of the lightning shattered on the surface of his body, streams of the power of the laws still seeped into his body, raging wildly.

boom!
A ball of lightning, three meters in diameter, struck down, enveloping his entire body. This attack was exceptionally fierce; cracks appeared on his golden body, and the blood that had just seeped out was evaporated by the lightning.

Zhang Haoran dragged his somewhat numb body forward slowly, gasping for breath as he said, "Hiss! That's pretty ruthless, it's broken eight, right?"
I've only just come in, and haven't even gone a hundred meters. Isn't this attack a bit too fierce?

I really don't know how Daoshu, who had just broken through nine levels, managed to walk 3000 meters under such attacks?

In fact, Dao Shu was already stunned. In the past, when he tried to pass through the passage, he would never dare to be struck by so much lightning. Otherwise, let alone 3000 meters, he would have difficulty passing through 300 meters.

He always eliminates threatening attacks in advance, and only relies on his protective light barrier to withstand the remaining attacks that are not too strong.

Unlike Zhang Haoran, who casually swung his sword twice to shatter the attacks aimed at his head and lower body, taking all the rest in stride!

Through the crack on its back, one can see the jade bones emitting a fluorescent glow, indicating that it is being tempered by heavenly lightning.

"My lord, this is too reckless! Even if you want to forge jade bones, you can't just let the lightning of the Great Dao attack you like this."

I warned you before that these attacks have the effect of annihilating the very source of power.

He probably can't hold out for much longer; I need to be ready to provide backup.

Zhang Haoran certainly remembered Dao Shu's instructions, but he didn't take the Origin Attack to heart.

Protected by the innate sword formation, the Great Dao Thunder was shattered by the sword energy as soon as it entered the primordial space. The remaining energy and power of law could still help him improve his swordsmanship.

The original path has now extended nearly a thousand meters along the cliff, almost halfway, and there is no sign of it collapsing.

The three clones were very careful. Every time they opened up a section of the primordial path, they immediately reinforced it with primordial soil, making it very stable! The suction force under the cliff had no effect on his true path.

The remaining energy is now providing even stronger support to the Origin Path, which is progressing steadily. At this rate, before the Jade Bone has even completed three forgings, the Sword Path will have already reached the True Gate.

Number Two looked at the shattered Great Dao lightning with delight, and said gloatingly, "It seems that the main body was struck very badly! We can't waste such a good opportunity."

Number three!

"Crush those lightning bolts even more, leaving only the pure essence. Whether or not the remnants of those laws remain is irrelevant; we're not cultivating the unity of all paths."

Zhang Haoran appears calm and is making steady progress, but he is actually not feeling well. The power of the Great Dao Thunder has exceeded his expectations.

It turns out that what Dao Shu meant by annihilating the source was not only the attack on the source, but this power was also targeting the golden body and the spiritual body. Now, the upper limit of his blood and spiritual power is constantly decreasing.

"Holy crap, what kind of power is this? It doesn't seem to be some kind of law, but more like a fusion, and it's appearing far too frequently!"

This characteristic appears in every attack; whenever he is injured, he will be eroded by this power.

Zhang Haoran was fully activating his Undying Body technique, trying to adapt to this power as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, this attack was not in the database, and it would take some more time for him to develop antibodies.

He had suffered similar injuries before, but the methods used were different. The War Emperor annihilated the enemy through shockwaves, while the Overlord Emperor compressed and unleashed his powerful energy.

This force annihilates through erosion, a relatively unfamiliar method. It will take some time for an indestructible entity to develop the corresponding resistance.

Fortunately, his physique is strong enough, and his mental strength has undergone two qualitative changes, so it is not enough to cause permanent damage. As long as he receives timely treatment, his upper limit of qi and blood can still be restored.

Zhang Haoran frowned and said, "This is troublesome! At this rate, I'll have to turn back before I can even advance a thousand meters. My progress will be even slower than the Dao Tree's. Won't that be embarrassing?"

"Safety first!"

"Hold on for a while longer. According to the previous plan, we will start to withdraw when our strength drops to 80%."

He vaguely sensed a crisis and decided not to try to tough it out.

Zhang Haoran struggled to move through the passage, suffering thousands of attacks for every meter he advanced.

However, under this pressure, the jade bone was forged very quickly. It was forged to 75% in less than 800 meters.

His strength has declined significantly, so he has decided to withdraw immediately.

"Hmm! This is my first time trying out the level, mainly to familiarize myself with the attack patterns here. That's about enough for now. I'll rest for a while before continuing the challenge!"

Just as he was about to withdraw, something unexpected happened.

"Boom!"

Thunder boomed.

The Great Dao lightning, which was originally interwoven with various colored lights, suddenly changed color, and all the lightning turned cyan.

"Holy crap! They're using dirty tricks!"

Zhang Haoran immediately recognized it as wind-attribute lightning. He had little experience with this type of attack and his resistance to it was low.

It seems they've already figured out which law he has the lowest resistance to, and they're preparing to give him a hard time.

"Puff puff!"

The sound of weapons piercing flesh rang out!
The weapons held by those giant hands that emerged from the void had all turned cyan, indicating that this was no longer a simple physical attack!
These blue weapons now posed a significant threat to him, mainly because there were so many of them, coming from all directions.

"Holy crap, they even know how to exploit weaknesses, isn't that cheating?"

No! I have to go right now!

Fortunately, I wasn't unprepared!

Zhang Haoran is now very glad that he didn't continue to push himself for the sake of saving face. He still has 80% of his strength left, so he thinks it shouldn't be a big problem for him to back out.

If we persist for another few hundred meters, with our weak points constantly under attack, we might really be left here.

He turned and left, but dared not go too fast. Dao Shu had said that if you retreated too quickly, you would be attacked by a barrage of attacks.

This time he dared not be reckless, letting the attacks hit him, while constantly wielding the Blood Shadow Sword in his hand to annihilate the incoming attacks.

But the number of attacks was simply too great, and they came from all directions, leaving no blind spots. No matter how fast he was, he couldn't block them all, and he was constantly being hit. His blood and mental strength began to decline rapidly, and the sword light he unleashed was no longer as lethal. He was receiving more and more attacks, gradually falling into a vicious cycle.

"open!"

Zhang Haoran roared!
A light barrier appeared outside his body. This was not a protective barrier he created with his own blood and qi, but rather through a magic weapon. Fortunately, the soul power in his sea of ​​consciousness had been very abundant during this time, and his protective equipment had been restored to the sixth level.

Most importantly, the protective gear doesn't consume his vital energy; it's all accumulated over time.

Otherwise, with his current energy and blood of less than 80 million calories, he really wouldn't be able to sustain it for very long.

However, magical artifacts are not omnipotent; they can only block 80% of the damage. A large amount of wind-elemental power still enters the body and continues to cause damage.

What's most frustrating is that the annihilating power is extremely destructive to the protective light barrier, unable to stop even 80% of it, with at least half of it seeping in.

"Damn it, if we don't leave now, we're going to die here."

Zhang Haoran withstood the thunderous aura and the cyan weapon, walking step by step towards the exit. Fortunately, the distance wasn't too far; he was about a hundred meters away from the exit.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Crystal-like roots reached into the passage, shattering all the lightning in the air and the weapons coming from all directions.

"Master, come out quickly, I'll block the rest of the attacks for you."

It turned out that Daoshu had sensed something was wrong and had been waiting at the exit to provide assistance.

His decision not to barge into the passage was a wise one.

If someone were to break down the Heavenly Gate at this moment, and the two of them were in the passage, they would be trapped inside.

The surrounding pressure disappeared, and Zhang Haoran didn't even have time to catch his breath. He flashed away from the passage, staggered forward two steps, and then coughed up a mouthful of blood. Upon closer inspection, one could see blue crystals in the golden blood.

These cyan crystals are all wind-elemental laws raging within his body. If obtained from the Three Realms, they would be the most coveted treasures for any wind-elemental martial artist.

Those martial artists who have not yet embarked on the Path of Origin can rely on these crystals to walk the Path of Wind.

If all the crystals he spits out were collected, it should be enough for a martial artist to break through to the True God realm.

This also shows how much wind-elemental energy he has accumulated in his body.

Zhang Haoran had no time to pay attention to these crystals; it felt like countless sharp blades were cutting into his body.

Crystal-like roots reached out and formed a path leading to the treehouse. The Dao Tree said anxiously, "Master, are you alright? Hurry back to the treehouse and adjust your condition. I will protect you during this time."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Zhang Haoran coughed a few times and spat out a mouthful of blood. His voice was a little hoarse as he said, "It's nothing. I was almost tricked. I'll recover quickly after a rest."

He took a step forward and stepped on the roots. The roots quickly contracted, like an elevator, taking him back to the treehouse. Then, countless roots fell down, enveloping the entire treehouse.

"Zhengzhengzheng!"

The roots intertwined into long spears, defending the treehouse like a fortress. Anyone who dares to come to this square will be subjected to countless piercing attacks.

Zhang Haoran sat down cross-legged and began to circulate his Undying Body, refining the wind-elemental laws within his body, and then checked his physical condition.

The situation is not good. The upper limit of Qi and Blood has dropped to 70 million, and the upper limit of Mental Strength has also dropped to 180,000 Hertz.

Most importantly, the power that was wrapped around him did not disappear; it was still eroding his golden body and spiritual body.

Zhang Haoran said with lingering fear, "That was really close! If I hadn't had defensive equipment, I really wouldn't have made it out."

He strongly suspected that someone was manipulating things behind the scenes, which was why the attack was so targeted. If it was the power of the rules within the passage that had discovered his weakness, then they should have launched an attack long ago, instead of starting when he was about to exit. The timing was so precise, it was clearly premeditated.

A flash of murderous intent crossed his eyes.

"Fine! That's ruthless! I'll settle this score with you sooner or later."

However, this time I learned a lesson. No matter how strong you are or how many trump cards you have, you can't be careless. I've learned my lesson today!

Instead of returning to the Myriad Realms Tower to enjoy the healing light, he focused all his energy on activating his Undying Body to resist the erosion of his physical and spiritual bodies by that annihilating power.

The situation is relatively safe now. As long as we can survive this wave of erosion, our resistance will definitely increase significantly, and it won't be so dangerous to break through the passage again next time.

As the Undying Body circulated, the annihilating power gradually disappeared, and the wind-elemental laws within the body were also refined.

He checked the status again.

That's horrible!
The upper limit of Qi and Blood has been reduced to 6000 million calories, and the upper limit of Mental Strength is only 15 Hertz. Although it is not a permanent injury, it is not easy to recover and requires a large amount of Origin to make up for it.

No wonder the Dao Tree took tens of thousands of years to recover after being severely damaged.

His spiritual body is now riddled with holes by that power. It seems that it is not enough to make up for it with his original essence. It will take a lot of time to slowly polish it back to its best state.

The losses were heavy, but the gains were also considerable, with the jade bone being forged to 80%.

Moreover, it has developed a high level of resistance to that special power, so it won't be so easy to use that method to trick him again next time.

This is the power of an immortal body; it grows stronger the more it is attacked. Once it has suffered a severe injury, its power is basically useless the next time.

It can't be said to be completely useless; with his current resistance, he can only be immune to 60%.

The indestructible power within his heart has increased considerably, after all, this injury was quite severe, and he could be said to have walked a tightrope between life and death.

The power of immortality stirred, wanting to help him restore his injured golden body and spiritual form, but Zhang Haoran stopped him.

We're not in a dangerous situation right now, and with the cheap treatment available from the Myriad Realms Tower, why waste the power of immortality?
With a thought, he returned to the Myriad Realms Tower, leaving a fake body outside. However, this time the fake body's state would be synchronized with the original body.

He then spent 300 million value points to buy Healing Light, which might be one of the last few times he'd enjoy Healing Light at such a low price.

These basic services will increase in price as his strength improves. Once his strength reaches level six, a single treatment will cost 30 million.

Swish!
A beam of golden light descended, and his injuries began to heal rapidly. The missing essence was replenished, and the upper limit of his blood and spiritual power jumped up like a stopwatch, returning to its optimal state.

The healing capabilities of the Myriad Realms Tower have always been incredibly effective.

"Zizzizi!"

A plume of black smoke rose from his body and quickly dissipated under the golden light.

"Huh! What's going on? Did they have a hidden weapon?" (End of Chapter)
