Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 281 The Secret Technique Within the Orb of Light

"not good!"

"Watch out!"

Several screams suddenly erupted from the crowd.

To everyone's surprise, Bai Yang actually dared to blast towards the center of the crowd.

If his enemies simply parry and deflect the sword light, it could easily injure others. Isn't he afraid of accidentally hurting them?

Ye Qi was overjoyed and decided to take the opportunity to incite everyone's dissatisfaction with Bai Yang.

But all that was heard was a tearing sound.

The sword light fell towards the head of a certain figure, cleaving him in two from head to toe.

Seeing this, Ye Qikong was about to speak.

Suddenly, I realized something was wrong.

The two figures on the ground did not turn into golden light and disappear; instead, blood gradually flowed from between them!

"Master Fuhui is dead!"

"How is that possible? Wasn't it said that no one would actually die during the trials?"

"With the corpse right in front of us, what's impossible?!"

"With his strength, he was actually killed by a single sword strike from a Han Dao Sect disciple who was only at the first level of the Domain Lord realm!?"

Everyone was taken aback and turned to look at the three men in black.

Even Ye Qikong was too preoccupied to say anything more, and instead demanded an answer from the City Lord's Mansion.

Bai Yang himself was somewhat surprised; he simply retaliated casually.

Although I used a little too much force, I didn't expect that I would actually kill the other party.

Seeing over a hundred questioning gazes, the leader of the men in black slowly and deliberately spoke:

"The protective power of the trial is not absolute. If someone attacks too quickly..."

"Once your life cores are destroyed, there's no way to save you, even if you wanted to."

Therefore, this [Zou Qi] broke through the trial's protective rules by force!

Everyone had this thought in their minds: his attack power was at least at the level of a World Lord.

Otherwise, there would have been no way to destroy Master Fuhui's life core with a single sword strike!

Many people who had originally wanted to compete with Bai Yang for the circle immediately gave up.

There are still 9 other groups; there's no need to confront such a tough opponent.

The mark of law on his head now seems very likely to be real.

The Han Sword Sect has struck gold this time!

It's truly enviable that a swordsmanship sect has encountered a master swordsman and gotten along well with him.

Bai Yang glanced at the looks in everyone's eyes and knew that these people wouldn't try to challenge him.

With a thought, all of the Fu Hui abbot's belongings flew up and gently landed in his hand.

No one dared to stop them throughout the entire process.

Master Fuhui was a well-known rogue cultivator with considerable wealth, but at this moment, no one dared to pinch Baiyang's tiger whiskers anymore.

There are still over a hundred people here, and it will take some time to compete for the remaining spots.

Bai Yang sat down in the circle and simply closed his eyes to continue comprehending the laws.

The scene in front of the entire stone chamber was somewhat eerie.

Bai Yang sat alone in one corner, while the rest of the people crowded on the other side, starting various competitions and contests.

No one dared to get too close to him, fearing that he might suddenly slash at them with his sword.

Even though the Domain Lord level experts fought extremely fast, it took more than two hours for those hundred-plus people to fight down to just the last dozen or so.

Bai Yang opened his eyes and looked at them; sure enough, Ye Qikong was there.

At this moment, he was using a long sword to fight fiercely with a burly man.

When he noticed Bai Yang looking at him, he suddenly felt a pang of nervousness, and the other party seized the opportunity to attack him one after another.

Bai Yang chuckled, resolving to let him go for now and reap the rewards later when he left.

Seeing that he didn't move and turned to watch other people's battles, Ye Qikong immediately returned to normal.

He fought with increasing courage and successfully defeated his opponent, securing a spot.

"Then, the ten of you will be the participants in this trial. Come in with us."

The three men in black pressed a mechanism somewhere near the entrance to the stone chamber.

The stone chamber door slid open instantly, and Bai Yang and the others immediately went inside.

Upon arriving here, one finds the memories of his past experiences.

He knew his way around the thousands of square meters of stone chamber like the back of his hand and casually found a cushion to sit on.

Then wait and see what happens here.

The others were surprised to see how at ease and familiar he was with the subject, but they also secretly tried to learn from him.

Soon, the ten domain lords, of varying heights and builds, all took their seats.

Suddenly, the ceiling of the stone chamber emitted a deep blue light, shining on everyone.

Bai Yang's consciousness suddenly entered a bright space, where countless orbs of light appeared before him.

He knew very well that this place contained all sorts of secret techniques and treasures.

Each person can choose one item, and it's up to them to decide which level to choose.

The brighter and larger the light sphere, the better.

The type of reward is related to the color of the light sphere.

Red represents weapons, green represents medicine, white represents miscellaneous items, and blue represents secret techniques.

This is true for every prefecture-level city.

Everyone can only see their own situation and cannot see anyone else.

Bai Yang extended a finger and touched the nearest blue orb of light, and immediately some light and shadow appeared on the orb.

"This is a sword technique."

He withdrew his finger, abandoning that one, and walked towards the other blue light cluster.

The secret method he was looking for was one that could conceal one's aura and even block that mysterious devouring desire.

If you try to use light and shadow to represent it, it will inevitably become somewhat abstract, and you can only try it one by one.

Each trial participant has only eight hours, one night.

With tens of thousands of clusters of light, finding one is really not easy.

Fortunately, [Inspiration] can play a role in this situation, and his efficiency is not bad.

Furthermore, because of his memory, he can easily remember the location of each light sphere, which at least guarantees him a decent minimum.

Seven hours later, Bai Yang had read the descriptions of thousands of light spheres.

"There is no such secret technique. At most, I can only conceal my presence as much as possible. I don't even know the principle behind that devouring sensation."

Trying to isolate it is simply unrealistic.

He frowned; he was truly disappointed that he hadn't achieved his primary goal in this journey.

In the last hour, he had to receive the information from the light sphere; he couldn't delay any longer.

Based on his memory of the location, he arrived in front of a huge ball of light that was more than half the height of a person.

He placed his hand on it and began to receive the inheritance.

In his experience, this kind of secret technique for creating volume is comparable to things like "Spiritual Embryo" and "Fractal Technique".

Once he has mastered the secret technique of "Shadow Rift Calamity" to a certain level, there might be some pleasant surprises.

In another space, Ye Qikong was staring incredulously at the basketball-sized ball of light before him.

"The Myriad Hearts Controlling Soul Secret Technique! This is the direct lineage of the Great God Puti!"

Thank God! It really is God's blessing! Hahahaha!

He was practically laughing hysterically; he had actually managed to obtain such a genuine divine inheritance.

"Zou Qi! Just you wait!"

"Once I've gathered enough followers, I will surely annihilate your Han Dao Sect!"
