Zongwang: Unspeakable fear!

Rewind the clock by thirty seconds.

Amidst the violent tremors, Gao Yang, who was sitting cross-legged within the Zhuxian Sword Domain, finally absorbed the last trace of the plane's core energy.

The moment his body absorbed all of that wisp of dimensional core energy, a roar as loud as the creation of the world exploded in his mind.

Rumble~
The roar originated from the soul, surged into the mind, and transformed into continuous ripples that swept across the entire body in an instant, centered on the head.

The instant that roar resounded through every corner of his body, the incomparably condensed sword of will in Gao Yang's mind shattered into endless dust.

Then, Gao Yang felt his consciousness spread throughout his body in an instant.

A world even grander, more magnificent, and more wondrous than the multiverse was revealed to Gao Yang at this moment.

He can "see" every cell in his body with perfect clarity, he can perceive the distance and connection between cells with perfect clarity, and he can even perceive the genes in the most minute details with perfect clarity.

In an instant, he understood the problem with his body; in an instant, he adjusted and changed the problem with his body; in an instant, his body reached a state of perfection.

Every cell, every bone, every muscle, every organ, is united in a mysterious and wonderfully unified whole.

In that instant, Gao Yang's consciousness and body merged into one, reaching a state of perfect harmony where they were inseparable.

In that instant, his body was adjusted, and from that moment on, his spirit was his body, and his body was his spirit.

The body is immortal, the will is immortal; the will is immortal, the body is immortal!
His Eight-Nine Arcane Arts have finally come to a great success at this moment!

Immediately afterwards, with the completion of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, his body and spirit were perfectly integrated and unified, and Gao Yang's body changed continuously according to his will.

A sudden realization flooded his consciousness, and at that moment, Gao Yang understood what "ever-changing" and "immortal" meant.

After mastering the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, he could arbitrarily alter his physical structure and even his most essential life essence, whenever he wished.

If he wants to become a dragon, then he is the noblest dragon; if he wants to become a phoenix, then he is the purest phoenix; even transforming into swords, spears, halberds, or all things in the universe is within his grasp, everything is at his command, this is the meaning of "a thousand transformations".

As for immortality, it is even more mysterious. The soul and will are integrated with the physical body, and each cell can be regarded as an independent entity. As long as there is a single cell, it can use it as a support to reassemble its body.

It is worth mentioning that after mastering the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, his defensive power reached its peak. His physical body and soul shared the defense, and when the two were combined, his defensive power increased exponentially.

Therefore, breaking his body is already a difficult task.

However, if his body were truly shattered, as long as he had even one cell remaining in the world, he would be able to reassemble his body.

After mastering the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, any one of his cells can survive for hundreds or thousands of years, or even longer, detached from his body.

This existence is unaffected by the passage of time or changes in space; the soul remains forever united, and the physical body is indestructible through countless eons!
This is immortality!

Even after addressing its own issues, the changes continue.

Gao Yang could easily perceive the accurate values ​​of his own attributes. For example, now that he had mastered the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts and his body was perfect, his various attributes began to increase.

His body grew increasingly resilient and strong, his primordial life force became increasingly profound and powerful, his reactions became increasingly agile and flexible, his learning ability continued to rise, and he was able to perceive the essence of the universe more and more clearly.

This improvement is comprehensive and effortless, as if it were always meant to be this way.

The upgrade was completed in less than ten seconds.

With a thought, Gao Yang noticed that the integrated network panel did not unfold in front of him, but various information about his body was smoothly displayed in his mind.

The information appeared in his mind and then disappeared in the next instant. Then, with a thought, Gao Yang completely healed the cracks on his body, leaving his body without a single scratch.

Gao Yang opened his palm, and more than a dozen attribute gems appeared in his hand. These were the remaining gems from the last upgrade, because he had reached his limit and could no longer upgrade.

However, now, there is no longer any such concern.

Platinum-gold battle aura emerged from his palm, and in the blink of an eye, he had refined all of the dozen or so attribute gems into his body.

Then, after a few breaths, all the improvements were completed.

Sensing the changes within himself, Gao Yang revealed a genuine smile.

Then, he raised his head, his gaze seemingly piercing through the Zhuxian Sword Domain, and saw the Mind Master outside the Zhuxian Sword Domain, and the halberd that was angrily slashing down from above in her hand.

The ferocious and lightning-fast slashes, in his eyes, were now so slow they were full of flaws, so powerless they could be broken at will.

Gao Yang casually clenched his fist, and Yongyao appeared in his palm. He stood up and thrust his sword at the falling halberd.

As Yongyao thrust out, the Zhuxian Sword Domain automatically separated.

The next instant, the sword blade clashed with the halberd blade.

clang! !

A deafening explosion ripped through the world, tearing it apart by the raging power and turning it into a completely dark vacuum.

The immense force traveled through the halberd into her body, and the Lord of the Mind erupted with intense mental fluctuations. The already pitch-black vacuum behind her twisted and shattered once more, turning into chaos.

She retreated swiftly, the light covering her face unable to last, vanishing in an instant.

Gao Yang slowly stood up, and the Zhuxian Sword Domain and the Four Zhuxian Swords flew back and were absorbed into his body.

He stood there, sword in hand, looking at the flawless yet astonished face of the Lord of the Mind, and gave a kind smile.

"Lord of the Mind, we meet again."

The Lord of the Mind gazed at Gao Yang. The moment the Immortal Execution Sword Domain was released, she had already sensed the part of the memory that Gao Yang had once sealed away.

She took a deep breath and looked at Gao Yang, saying slowly, "I never imagined that someone who couldn't even withstand my mental projection could grow to this level."

"Surprised?" Gao Yang looked at her and said with a smile, "If the Gods hadn't acted so ruthlessly, perhaps I wouldn't have grown up so quickly."

As a token of my gratitude, I'll see you off on your journey. You're all old and eccentric; you must be getting tired of living this long, right?

The Lord of the Mind narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze falling on the tip of the halberd, and casually said, "So confident that you can kill me?"

“Didn’t the Blood Lord also die by my hand?” Gao Yang shook his head, not in a hurry to make a move.

After mastering the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts and merging his physical body and will into one, his strength surged once again, and the Lord of the Mind before him was no longer a threat in his perception.

From the clash just now, the Lord of the Mind should also be aware of this, but the fact that the other party has not left yet indicates that the other party definitely has a backup plan.

Since the other party is waiting for a counter-move, he doesn't mind waiting a bit longer.

After all, he had only just broken through, and it would take some time for the changes in his body to spread to his various abilities.

"Blood Lord? Heh," the Lord of the Mind sneered. "An old codger who only knows how to suck blood and live. Is killing him something to be proud of?"

"Perhaps, but he is, after all, a high-ranking member of your Pantheon, isn't he?"

Gao Yang flicked his finger, and Yongyao immediately emitted a sword cry with extremely strong penetrating power.

The Lord of the Mind fell silent, and Gao Yang also stopped speaking.

After a moment, he looked at the Lord of Mind and said with a smile, "What, do you want to use your rich survival experience to wear down this young man to death?"

Or perhaps you'd like to try a different fighting style?

After saying that, he casually grabbed in front of him with his free left hand, and the surrounding space was instantly grasped in his hand. Within this space, there was also an extremely tenacious and hidden mental power.

As for the owner of this spiritual power, the answer is already obvious.

The Lord of the Mind took a deep breath, and in the next instant, she vanished from Gao Yang's sight. When she reappeared, she was back in the United Empire Palace on the Eternal Plateau.

Time was running out. She had already realized from their earlier exchange that she had no chance of defeating her opponent on her own.

Rather than wasting time there and potentially getting killed, it's better to avoid direct confrontation.

The Blade Master and the Desire Master should arrive in a little while.

Looking at the familiar hall, the Lord of the Mind did not hesitate for a moment, and slashed the halberd in his hand in front of him.

snort~
The halberd blade sliced ​​through space, and a spatial rift appeared before her.

The Lord of the Mind took a step forward, intending to rush into it and then leave the Servis Super-Dimension.

'Man-made disaster, utterly destroyed.'

A sword blade suddenly pierced out from the void, and the space and time before the blade quickly froze. After the blade struck, the space and time began to rapidly disappear.

The Lord of the Mind froze in place, then suddenly retreated, staring at Gao Yang with bloodshot eyes. She had been only one step away from the spatial rift, but she could not go any further.

If she were to force her way in, the greatsword that had cleaved through space and time would surely strike her before she even got inside.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gao Yang stepped out of the void and stood between the Lord of the Mind and the spatial rift she had just created.

"We were having a nice chat just now, why are you leaving so suddenly?"

With a casual wave of his hand, Gao Yang quickly closed the spatial rift behind him.

The Lord of the Mind paused for a moment, then smiled.

This smile seemed to bring a sun to the previously dimly lit hall, making it suddenly bright and cheerful.

She looked at Gao Yang, her expression extremely alluring: "The previous place wasn't suitable for chatting, was it?"

A strong stench of blood emanated from Gao Yang's body. He seemed to be standing amidst a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. The aura of natural disaster made his presence even more fierce and violent, like a villainous big boss.

He stood before the Lord of the Mind, the two of them vastly different in size, one a full ten meters tall, the other only one and a half meters. Yet the ten-meter-tall Lord of the Mind bowed his head slightly, his face contorted with humiliation, while Gao Yang, who was only one and a half meters tall, appeared relaxed and carefree.

"This kind of low-level charm has no effect, but it is very effective in easing the atmosphere."

The Lord of the Mind moved her lips, about to say something, but then she noticed that Gao Yang had already raised his silver-white greatsword and was slashing at her furiously.

At the critical moment, her mental power erupted, and the Heart-Splitting Halberd in her hand slashed upwards towards her opponent.

clang!
A crisp metallic clang rang out as the Heart-Splitting Halberd slammed heavily onto the hall's floor, a floor a hundred times harder than steel. The terrifying recoil forced the Lord of the Mind to release it.

If she doesn't let go, her arm will be completely shattered by this blow.

'Why aren't they here yet?!'

The Lord of the Mind had a tense expression, but inside he was so anxious he was about to curse.

With a single sword strike, Gao Yang cleaved the Heart-Splitting Halberd in two, then stepped forward to stand before the Lord of the Mind. He raised his greatsword high above his head, exuding unparalleled pressure and surging killing intent, and once again slashed down at the Lord of the Mind.

'A Call from the Heart'

The Lord of the Mind suddenly looked up and pointed at Gao Yang's heart. In the next instant, pairs of eyes from Gao Yang's memories appeared in the surrounding space: the old dean, Ruan Xiaoyu, and Lisa.
They all looked at Gao Yang, their expressions vividly portrayed, whether of anger, despair, or disbelief.

This is a powerful move often used by the Mind Master. As long as her opponent hesitates even for a moment when facing these close friends and family members, she can gain a high-quality Mind Servant.

To her surprise, these figures were the most familiar and intimate figures in Gao Yang's memory, yet Gao Yang did not hesitate for a moment when he killed them.

After personally annihilating the old dean and Lisa, Gao Yang stared expressionlessly at the Lord of the Mind. The next instant, Yongyao struck down again.

'Man-made disaster - utterly devastating!'

The sun's fighting spirit suddenly dropped a notch, and the surrounding space and time once again came to a standstill. The Lord of the Mind's eyes widened abruptly, and the power of the mind transformed into two torrents that shot towards Gao Yang through his eyes.

Clang!
The sword rang out and soared into the sky. Yongyao slashed horizontally, splitting apart the torrent of mental power, which did not serve to block it in the slightest.

puff!

With a soft sound, the beautiful head of the Mind Master was instantly severed from her body, decapitated by Gao Yang's sword. (End of Chapter)
