Lucky billion players, you've never seen one before / I can accumulate my own luck

"Once you get stuck in your mindset and hit a bottleneck, the time it takes to resolve it becomes unpredictable."

"And players who enter this world, no matter how strong they are, will disappear within two months at most, so if their mental state isn't right..."

He shook his head: "I'll never become the Ghost Emperor!"

"..."

As expected of an A-level dungeon, the completion time can be extended to two months... Fan Xiao shook his head and said, "I have my own methods, you don't need to worry about this."

How to kill the Speaker who is immortal—this is the only thing he has never worried about from beginning to end.

"..."

The ghost emperors looked at each other, unsure whether to believe it or not.

After thinking it over, they decided to take the gamble.

In any case, this time they don't need to spare any combat power to go to war with the other side, so even if they lose the gamble, it's just returning to the beginning, and it won't have any impact on the cycle of reincarnation.

"Now that we've reached an agreement, let's... begin."

After giving a word of advice, Fan Xiao teleported away from where he stood.

During the conversation, he had secretly used his luck to confirm the identities of the nine Ghost Emperors—none of them were Dr. Zhuang's counterparts.

Therefore, internal accidents are unlikely to occur.

the other side.

Upon seeing Fan Xiao leave, the Ghost Emperors immediately issued an order: "Ten Kings, listen to my command! Raise the 'Looking-Homeward Terrace,' point it toward the Cycle of Reincarnation, and we will personally oversee the ceremony!"

"Also, be prepared to shut down the cycle of reincarnation at any time..."

……

at the same time.

Southern part of the Underworld.

Deep within the realm of evil spirits.

An invisible barrier separated a paradise from the land filled with poisonous miasma.

In this idyllic paradise, there stands a magnificent palace.

This is the territory of the Twilight Council Speaker in the Netherworld.

The invisible barrier surrounding the palace area is a law-based defensive array barrier jointly constructed by a Ghost Emperor and numerous Ghost Kings. It can interfere with the conceptual level and achieve various functions such as invisibility and obstruction, which are more inclined towards hiding.

This is also why Fan Xiao was unable to use his "Demon Eye" to see through the evil spirits and find the Speaker immediately after entering the Netherworld.

This barrier was not created by the original speaker.

Given the former speaker's cowardly and bullying nature, he would never do something so shameful on his own turf.

The person who organized the great evil spirits to create the barrier was Dr. Zhuang, who later replaced the chairman.

As for what this barrier is for... it goes without saying.

It can only be said that Dr. Zhuang is indeed a wise man. He had long ago listed the possibility that "Fan Xiao's strength may be beyond imagination" as one of the possibilities and made preparations for countermeasures.

However... although he had overestimated Fan Xiao, judging from the results, he had clearly underestimated him.

Dr. Zhuang felt helpless about this, but he chose to accept it.

After all, we can't refuse to accept it.

At this very moment, inside the palace, in front of the stone table in the octagonal pavilion.

When "Speaker Dr. Zhuang" discovered that four of the evil spirits under his control were missing, he immediately deduced that Fan Xiao had come to the Netherworld.

Because of the underworld's refusal to obey, his control over the netherworld is very weak. Otherwise, if he stood on the "Looking-Homeward Terrace" and looked out over the entire netherworld, he wouldn't be in such a passive position as he is now.

He does have a reconnaissance-type psionic clone, but he doesn't dare use it on Fan Xiao—Fan Xiao's previous cross-dimensional attacks have made him extremely wary. He worries that if he uses psionic energy, the main sender and Fan Xiao will be entangled in a causal relationship... and the other party might come looking for him directly through that connection.

When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.

but……

"The safe hiding time is almost over."

Dr. Zhuang, sitting on the stone bench, glanced at the numerous ghost kings and the ghost emperor who had gathered outside the pavilion, then stood up and issued the order to prepare for battle.

With Fan Xiao's current strength, it shouldn't be long before he obtains the perfect method for completing the dungeon mission from the Underworld.

Fan Xiao was definitely thinking of eliminating his counterpart while achieving a perfect clear.

Moreover... Fan Xiao most likely won't waste time and effort going through the underworld upgrade system; he'll only deal with him after he's promoted to Ghost Emperor.

The other party will likely come looking for us today!

While the Speaker had no basis for speculation on this point, based on previous failures—namely, the failure of "underestimating Van Shaw"—he was willing to overestimate it this time.

He boldly hypothesized that even without the help of copy permissions, Fan Xiao could kill him irrationally.

Based on this assumption, he made thorough preparations.

If you guess wrong, at worst you'll just be outsmarting thin air.

If he had guessed correctly, he wouldn't have been so passive.

"I have two ways to win. The first is to avoid direct combat with Fan Xiao as much as possible, and to prolong the battle by frequently traveling between the Netherworld and the mortal realm, using pursuit tactics until the dungeon ends."

"The second one is to create a situation that forces him to voluntarily withdraw from the instance."

The speaker decided to use both methods together.

The first method would definitely be thwarted by the underworld through "sealing off the netherworld," but he also had a countermeasure—the netherworld's seal could only last for an hour at most, and he just needed to survive for an hour in the mortal realm.

Because the act of sealing off the underworld cannot be repeated by the underworld in a short period of time, as this would easily disrupt the cycle of reincarnation. Basically, it can only be used once in one cycle of reincarnation.

He only needs to hold on for one hour!

Fan Xiao couldn't do anything about him.

Even during the pursuit, he could take the opportunity to cultivate his ghostly power. As long as the battle dragged on, he might even have a chance to advance to the Ghost Emperor level. At that point, his chances of winning would be even greater.

The second method... is equivalent to posing a fatal threat to Fan Xiao, forcing him to leave the instance after completing only one instance quest... The chances are slim, but it's worth a try.

His ultimate "Longinus" will be countered by Van Shaw—a fact that his previous partner had already verified at node G06.

Nothing tangible can harm Fan Xiao.

Therefore... he will only release the "divine realm" at the conceptual level of interference later.

Combined with the army of evil spirits and the suppression of players' psionic energy by the Netherworld... they are not without the power to fight back.

With this in mind, the speaker began to take action.

After arranging the battle plan for the demon army, he separated two-thirds of his body into clones—these two-thirds clones possessed spiritual energy to create the "Creation World" and the "Active World," respectively.

The merging of the three realms can form "Longinus".

Since this breakthrough is not possible, there is no need to leave behind avatars in these two realms.

It would be better to release them and let them lie in wait in various locations in the mortal realm and the underworld—the clones are equivalent to "changing coordinates." Whenever he wants, his consciousness can be exchanged with the clones to complete the location transfer.

After doing all this, the speaker waited silently.

His wait did not last long.

About an hour later, he sensed the vibration of the barrier surrounding the palace.

The immense demonic power contained within the barrier is dissipating.

The barrier... has been destroyed!

This barrier is supposed to monitor the outside world, but it was destroyed without warning, and no intelligence information was detected... No doubt, the person who did it must be Fan Xiao!

What a treacherous fellow! With such strength, he still resorted to a surprise attack... Even the Speaker couldn't help but curse inwardly.

He quickly mobilized his spiritual power, gathering the spiritual energy of the clones remaining in his body, and launched the "Divine Realm" at the conceptual level.

If Fan Xiao dares to show up, he will deliver a thunderous blow.

at this time!

The speaker finally saw the true form of the attack that had destroyed the barrier—a red slash that swiftly swept across the entire horizon.

The barrier was as flimsy as paper in front of it.

not good!

Danger!

The speaker, realizing what was happening quickly, immediately transformed his body into a spiritual form and disappeared beneath the earth.

*Thud*—The red slash cut through the palace, as if splitting heaven and earth in two.

All the evil spirits standing on the ground were swiftly cut in two, their remains rapidly disintegrating and dissipating on the spot.

Only a small number of flying monsters escaped the disaster.

However, before they could react, the next attack arrived.

Suddenly, a blazing red lotus beam of light shot out, enveloping the sky above the palace.

Boom——! ! !

Amidst the deafening explosion, the scorching and pulverizing power emanating from the conceptual level surged forth like a tsunami, instantly wiping out all the Ghost Kings and other evil spirits except for the Ghost Emperor.

This is a one-sided massacre!

……

at the same time.

Fan Xiao's gaze fell upon the speaker who had burrowed underground.

Just now, after leaving the Underworld and arriving at the territory of evil spirits, he used the wooden stick to probe the exact location of the Speaker.

As a result... we could only roughly determine that it was deep within the Demon Realm, but we couldn't get the exact location in one go.

Dr. Zhuang's methods of concealment are quite ingenious.

Fan Xiao guessed that this was probably related to the special destiny created by Dr. Zhuang and the Speaker after their fusion—this destiny was a special product created by the S-level item "Jade Record". With the constant alternation of the two destinies, it was basically difficult to locate it out of thin air.

So to find the speaker, you'd probably have to search every inch of the land.

Or... capture it directly using your five senses.

After all, concealment at the level of fate and invisibility at the level of physics are two different concepts.

Even if the Speaker could really turn invisible, he would most likely still be fooled by his "Demon Eye of Truth".

There's only one possibility that he can't see the other person now—the Speaker has used a barrier technique similar to that of the Underworld, based on ghostly power, to conceal himself.

If that's the case, then it's simple.

No matter how well you hide, you're still in the underworld.

Thinking of this, Fan Xiao disregarded everything else and directly activated the "half-limit break" of the Killing Angel—the little angel couldn't get out, but the Blood Scythe could extend outwards.

The consumption of this "semi-extreme breakthrough" is much less than that of the true ultimate breakthrough. Although it is not enough to be used as a normal attack, there is definitely no need to worry too much about the consumption issue.

Fan Xiao directly had the little angel use the blood scythe to slash horizontally across the horizon deep within the Demon Territory.

He was testing the waters a little.

Unless the Speaker has built his hideout in the air, underground, or in some other small world, this probing attempt will reveal something.

As it turned out... they actually found something—the Blood Scythe shattered a massive barrier composed of multiple layers of enchantments.

I also cleared out a wave of minions.

After receiving the little angel's hint, Fan Xiao immediately used his "Eye of Truth" to look over.

Then he saw the scene inside the broken barrier.

The next second, he directly amplified the "Eye of Truth" with "Quantum Immortality" and shot his gaze in with all his might.

While not as effective as "Destruction Judgment," it consumes less resources.

This attack completely annihilated the Speaker's demon army in one fell swoop.

Only one great evil spirit remained.
