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

Chapter 318 Heading to the Abyss of Purgatory

Bai Yang looked at the two people in front of him, whose styles were completely different, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Eldest brother, second brother. I have a question I'd like to ask you."

Hong and Thor exchanged a glance and burst into laughter.

"Third brother, there are actually problems you can't handle and need to ask us?"

How come I can actually help the third brother now?

Thor was all smiles, clearly overjoyed.

Hong's lips were also full of smiles as he asked:

"Tell us, otherwise we really can't think of any way to help you."

Bai Yang explained the situation to them, saying that the opportunity he encountered required a strong will to gain greater benefits.

Hong remained silent, head bowed in thought.

"The universe is truly amazing; it even has a way to strengthen oneself."

Thor sighed after hearing this and then asked...

"Third brother, according to what you've said, you've actually absorbed quite a bit of that so-called evil energy over the years, right?"

Bai Yang nodded in agreement, stating that he was able to fuse seven Blood Crystals, and that the baleful energy would also have a certain effect.

"Then this stuff really isn't working well for you."

Your temperament is the same as before; to me, it hasn't changed at all.

But the fourth one is different.

Upon hearing Thor mention this, Hong suddenly said:

"That's right! Luo Feng has changed a lot."

A chilling aura emanated from him; he was like a cold, blood-soaked blade that had burst forth from a sea of ​​blood, his ruthless and bloodthirsty presence astonishingly strong.

Hong paused for a moment, looked at Bai Yang seriously, and said:

"Third brother, have you been deliberately fighting against this force?"

Bai Yang thought about it carefully for a moment and said:

"It seems that's true. I know this substance can make people cold-blooded and ruthless, and it can also unconsciously affect one's mind."

Therefore, after each absorption, I adjust my mental state.

Hong nodded and said, "It seems that's where the problem lies."

By doing this, you not only eliminate the subtle changes brought about by this force, but you also naturally develop ideas that are opposed to it.

Then its effect will certainly not be satisfactory.

Bai Yang's mind raced, and he asked, "Brother, do you want me to follow the path I mentioned before: 'A heart with boundless compassion, encompassing all things'?"

Hong shook his head slowly, denying it, "That's not true."

I want you to think it through yourself: what do you need most?

In order to strengthen your willpower, are you willing to let your thinking be unconsciously influenced?

Bai Yang pondered to himself, "The answer is quite obvious."

Of course not!

As a time traveler, he had too many secrets and always harbored deep suspicions.

His situation is completely different from Luo Feng's.

Since Luo Feng possessed the Golden Horned Beast, he would inevitably be influenced by its cruel and bloodthirsty nature.

But I absolutely refuse to let anything influence my thinking.

Not to mention the innate ferocity of a beast god, even the system panel is inadequate!

Thinking of this, Bai Yang's mind immediately cleared, and even his eyes faintly shone with a light.

"I am in charge of my own will."

I will never put the cart before the horse and sacrifice my own principles in order to gain opportunities by strengthening my will!

Hong and Thor exchanged a smile, and it was clear from his expression that he had made his decision, and his will and state of mind had unknowingly deepened.

"Third brother, you can think of this on your own."

This shows that your willpower has always been quite strong.

"It's just that I haven't faced enough challenges in the past, and much of my potential hasn't been unleashed."

Thor said with delight.

Hong also chimed in, "Third brother, your mental strength is actually very strong."

Although he wasn't a mentalist, he was far stronger than me and the second brother when we were at the same level; he was hardly like a martial artist.

You still have a lot of untapped potential in your will; what you need is to hone it.

Moreover, they face challenges head-on and actively seek out such challenges.

Bai Yang pondered for a moment and realized that both of them were right.

"Thank you. I understand what to do."

Hong and Thor were happy for him, seeing that he clearly had a plan.

Hong is now frequently exposed to the white sun's [light body], and his strength is increasing very rapidly.

Thor's strength has fallen behind, and Bai Yang hasn't sparred with him in a long time.

Taking this opportunity, I shared with him in detail some of my experiences in understanding divine weapons.

After returning home, Bai Yang had already made his decision.

He's going to take on the mission from the [Purgatory Abyss]!

Legend has it that this is a place that can enhance one's willpower and understanding of the laws of light.

However, he planned to make some preparations before going to the place.

He spent four months choosing the dangerous-level mission world, [Ruins of the Ancient Temple].

Bai Yang remembered that Luo Feng had once made a small fortune here.

The outermost perimeter of this ancient ruined temple is relatively safe, making it easy to complete the mission requirements. However, the deeper parts hold secrets, making it fraught with danger.

He had no interest in exploring the true secrets of this place; his only goal was to achieve his objective.

With the help of the Spiritual Energy Technique and the Shadow Rift Technique, he has an absolute advantage when searching for things while concealing his identity.

He first found a leaf of the Purple Jade Hundred-Leaf Plant, and then found a large patch of similar plants of slightly lower quality.

This Purple Jade Hundred-Leaf Leaf is best used for the life evolution of immortal plants, and its auction price is generally around 200 million Mixed Yuan Units.

Its main function is to fundamentally change the structure of plant life, thus greatly enhancing the plant's vitality.

According to Babata, this is a valuable item that Huyanbo couldn't possibly buy even if he wanted to.

Bai Yangguang earned at least three million Mixed Yuan Units from this one trip.

If an ordinary plant breaks through to immortality and consumes the Purple Jade Hundred-Leaf, its strength will definitely skyrocket.

If one is at the peak of the Realm Lord level, there is a 10% chance of breaking through to Immortality.

Bai Yang had no intention of selling them; without hesitation, he fed the inferior Purple Jade Leaves to the Ancient Dragon Vine.

It instantly consumed materials worth tens of thousands of Mixed Yuan Units.

Although this thing is "secondary", it is far better than the Fruit of Life.

The Ancient Dragon Vine evolved into a ninth-tier Domain Lord level super plant without any obstacles.

He could even have it evolve directly to the level of a World Lord, but he gave up on that idea because he couldn't allow it to evolve too frequently in a short period of time.

In February 2216 Earth time, Bai Yang had prepared everything and finally boarded the spaceship bound for the [Purgatory Abyss].

Before that, Luo still sent him the tentacle.

Bai Yang did not refuse, but could only express his gratitude to the teacher for his concern.

He secretly resolved that if Luo reached the final 20,000-year limit and still couldn't break through to immortality...

He spent his points to redeem some real treasures in the virtual universe company's vault to help him make a final gamble.

Both located in the same pristine, secret realm, the company's spaceship traveled to its destination in a very short time.

Just four days later, Bai Yang saw his target through the spaceship's exterior simulation.

A giant black egg-like object lies across this cosmic mystery.

It also continuously releases an extremely malevolent black aura, enough to instantly kill any life form below the planetary level.

The spaceship plunged directly into the top of the black egg.
