Is there any hope for me, who proposed to the world-destroying empress at the very beginning?

Although the journey was not short, Su Liang was fast enough to reach his destination by nightfall.

(I really didn't expect the attendance to be lower on Saturday than before.)

Chapter Twelve: A Thought Between God and Demon

According to reports.

Yunmeng Great Marsh is one of the seven most dangerous places. Its outer perimeter is a perilous area, with lush jungles and swampy beaches coexisting, creating a harsh environment that is difficult to defend against.

The most dangerous areas within are so dangerous that few dare to venture in alone, as they are the dwelling places of various strange and ferocious beasts.

The legendary forbidden area, given its name, is impossible to enter.

Even powerful cultivators at the Divine Travel Realm, who are known as terrestrial immortals, dare not enter rashly.

Fortunately, all Su Liang had to do was survive on the margins for seven days.

Lighting the torch he carried with him, Su Liang stepped into the forest, officially entering the Yunmeng Great Swamp.

[Enter the Yunmeng Marsh, mission begins!]

Looking at the prompts on the panel, Su Liang took a deep breath and continued walking inside.

The entire forest was very quiet. As Su Liang walked in with his torch, he could hear the sound of the torch burning.

Clap!

Suddenly, Su Liang heard the sound of a tree branch breaking. He only saw a black shadow flash by, its four hooves stomping as it ran. It must have been a ferocious beast living in the Yunmeng Marsh.

Since it was only appearing on the outskirts, it probably wouldn't amount to much, so Su Liang didn't care much and continued on his way.

Finally, they found a tree with huge branches, as thick as three people could hug. It seemed to have been struck by lightning, forming a hollow in the tree, just big enough to accommodate one person.

Su Liang immediately chose to camp here. Compared to being surrounded by enemies on all sides, being deep in a tree hole meant he only needed to worry about the safety of one side.

After a day of trekking, even with his considerable stamina, Su Liang was somewhat exhausted and closed his eyes to rest.

Suddenly, the firelight flickered violently before his eyes. Su Liang abruptly opened his eyes and saw a dark figure slowly emerging from the shadows, illuminated by the firelight.

It resembles a mountain tiger, with a horn on its forehead and four hooves like an ox. Its appearance is extremely strange, and its eyes emit a terrifying red light.

The danger could strike in an instant!

Seeing Su Liang wake up and look over, the ferocious beast lowered its head, assumed an attack posture, and let out a deep roar from its throat.

Even the Soviet Union could smell a strong, fishy stench emanating from the beast's mouth.

With the ability to intimidate thousands of troops in one step, Su Liang would naturally not be frightened away by a ferocious beast at this moment.

Moreover, he came here not just to complete the system task!

Su Liang was well aware of his shortcomings and weaknesses.

Insufficient combat experience and weak cultivation.

Now is the perfect opportunity to hone one's skills!

"war!"

Su Liang took out his Broken Army Spear, ready to fight at any moment.

The ferocious beast seemed to have gone without food for a long time. Without much hesitation, it pounced on Su Liang with all four hooves.

Su Liang's cultivation level is currently at the Foundation Establishment stage. He is not afraid and is also eager to test his skills, so he immediately flew to meet him.

Without any unnecessary movements, Su Liang stretched out his left arm to block the beast's claws as it pounced. With a sudden jerk, he used the momentum to lift the beast's body significantly higher, instantly exposing its chest, abdomen, and throat.

Taking advantage of the situation, Su Liang raised his right hand, circulated his spiritual energy, and without hesitation, plunged the Po Jun sword into the beast's throat.

A gunshot pierced through, and foul-smelling blood gushed out, staining Su Liang's right hand red.

The ferocious beast only whimpered twice in Su Liang's hands, its head drooping to one side before becoming still.

Su Liang then drew his Po Jun sword and tossed the ferocious beast aside.

Visible to the naked eye, wisps of scarlet energy split in two, entering the Broken Army Spear, while another portion entered his body.

"Heavenly Rank Divine Demon Battle Technique, Chapter One: A Thought Between God and Demon!"

As this blood energy flowed in, the divine and demonic thought he had previously acquired began to operate on its own.

Instantly, Su Liang felt a massive influx of information rushing into his mind, like a vast ocean, yet elusive and unpredictable.

When I opened my eyes again, it was bright daylight, and sunlight filtered through the branches and leaves, dappling the ground.

Su Liang's eyes suddenly flashed with intense killing intent.

The thought of becoming a god or demon is to enter the state of a god or demon with one's mind, to mobilize one's potential to the maximum extent, and to become a ruthless killing machine.

It just so happens to match what Su Liang himself has learned.

However, to fully master it, you still need corresponding practice, which means...

Just then, Su Liang

Suddenly, a bird's cry, like that of a dead mandarin duck, rang out.

Looking in the direction of the sound, there was nothing on the water, not even a floating leaf, let alone mandarin ducks.

But the sound didn't diminish; instead, it gradually became clearer.

puff!

A sound of water breaking rang out. Before Su Liang could even see what it was, the divine demons, with a thought of self-protection, immediately drew out the Po Jun sword and swept it horizontally.

boom!

Po Jun slammed the thing hard onto the ground.

Su Liang reacted quickly, using at least 60% of his strength in that strike, and the thing lay on the ground without making a sound.

Only then did he step forward to see clearly.

The creature that leaped out of the water, with a fish's body and bird's wings, was none other than the 驘鱼 (a type of fish).

The strange-looking fish is gentle by nature and there are no rumors that it attacks people. The fact that it suddenly leaps out and comes towards me must be strange.

Yo-yo!

But by then it was clearly too late.

A deer's cry rang out, and Su Liang gripped the Po Jun sword tightly, looking around warily.

But after looking around, he didn't see anything. Suddenly, a whooshing sound came from the air. Su Liang instinctively looked up and saw a bird that looked like a pheasant and was all red flying towards him.

This thing only looks like a pheasant; it's much larger than a pheasant, with a wingspan as long as Su Liang's height.

Although somewhat surprised, Su Liang remained calm and took the initiative to meet the attack, brandishing his Po Jun sword.

From its high vantage point, Sheng Yu aimed a pair of sharp, hook-like claws straight at Su Liang's face.

Without a second thought, Su Liang blocked the way with Po Jun, and then pressed down hard.

Caught off guard, Sheng Yu was pulled down quite a bit. Su Liang flipped over and landed directly on Sheng Yu's back, and Po Jun made a fierce move.

Before the victory could land, Po Jun had already passed through its body and firmly planted itself on the ground.

Su Liang's movements were fluid and seamless, with no unnecessary actions; every move was made with the intention of winning.

If it were before, Su Liang might not have had such reaction speed and awareness, and his decisiveness today was beyond his expectations.

dong dong dong ......

Before Su Liang could figure out why this was happening, a sound like beating drums came from behind him.

Su Liang looked up and saw a beast slowly approaching. It resembled a horse, with a white body and a black tail, a single horn on its head, and tiger teeth and claws. It was Bo.

Bo feeds on tigers and leopards, making him far more powerful than the creatures mentioned before.

Su Liang was nervous but not afraid. He raised his spear and charged forward, cutting down the enemy with a few quick maneuvers without even hurting a hair on his head.

"Not bad, kid! I didn't expect you to be so talented. Your combat awareness has improved so much!"

The system was generous with its praise for Su Liang's growth.

Su Liang didn't say anything, but raised an eyebrow and looked a little pale.

For the next week, Su Liang, just like today, used the ferocious beasts in this place to frantically hone his divine and demonic will.

Finally, on the sixth night, Su Liang, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

In an instant, a red light flashed in his eyes, and his murderous aura was so tangible that it almost burst forth.

Su Liang looked at his palm and chuckled.

"The power of gods and demons has finally been achieved!"

Chapter Thirteen: The Body of the Post-Heavenly God Emperor

After a moment's thought, the seven-day period had already passed.

As the sun rose in the east and set in the west, Su Liang's traces appeared everywhere in the perilous Yunmeng Marsh.

The evening glow shone on the tall tree canopies, casting shadows that reflected brilliant colors across the treacherous landscape of Yunmeng Marsh.

Su Liang slowly opened his eyes in the tree hollow. He looked at his reflection not far in front of him, and his anticipation was impossible to hide.

"Seven days have passed, you damn system, come out and redeem your reward!"

Although he spoke lightly, the weariness in Su Liang's tone was impossible to hide.

He has been staying in the tree hollow since he returned yesterday afternoon, waiting for today to arrive.

"hiss!"

Because he accidentally aggravated his injuries while speaking, Su Liang couldn't help but gasp.

The scene from yesterday flashed through his mind again.

After achieving the state of being a god or demon in a single thought, Su Liang, now extremely arrogant, began to venture deeper into the dangerous area.

During that period, he mastered the application of the first chapter, "The Divine and Demonic Thoughts," to perfection.

Yesterday afternoon, after much preparation, Su Liang stepped into the dangerous area for the first time.

But unexpectedly, this resulted in the way it is today.

"You little brat, you were really lucky yesterday. If you hadn't run away so fast, I would have been done for with you."
