In a simulated life scenario, how do you defy fate and change your destiny every time?

Government Office Headquarters.

Hundreds of meters underground.

Lu Yuan was walking through a dark and deep passage.

However, he had just stepped into this place.

The once calm and still void was suddenly stirred by a ripple.

Followed by.

Several fifth-tier Zerg predators lurking in the void suddenly appeared out of thin air, raising their sharp forelimbs and slashing down at Lu Yuan.

Zerg predators can hide in the void and kill without a trace.

If it were any other fifth-tier professional caught off guard, they would likely be killed instantly.

But Lu Yuan easily located the other party's position with a single scan of his divine sense.

"laugh!"

These insectoid predators clearly possessed far superior stealth abilities.

The entire process was silent until the blade struck, at which point a cold glint flashed.

But Lu Yuan didn't even look at it; he merely stirred his thoughts slightly.

The powerful divine sense transformed into a sharp sword that was as solid as a physical object, but it merely swept across the void.

All the Zerg predators paused in their movements, then their souls and bodies were annihilated, turning them into corpses!

Then he waved his hand, and all the forelimbs of those insectoid predators were broken off and stored in his spatial bracers.

The forelimbs of the Tier 5 Zerg Predator are not only incredibly sharp, but also as hard as D5 grade Aether alloy.

If you list it on the Star Alliance Mall, it will definitely sell for a good price.

at the same time.

Lu Yuan's divine sense followed the deep passage and extended forward, intending to explore the situation of the entire underground base.

But it didn't take long.

He then sensed a powerful spiritual fluctuation emanating from the underground base ahead.

Furthermore, there seemed to be an invisible barrier enveloping the underground base, its defenses so strong that even Lu Yuan would find it difficult to break through in a short time!

"As expected of the Zerg Queen, even before hatching, her mental strength is already comparable to a fifth-level Nascent Soul cultivator."

Lu Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately guessed the other party's identity.

"boom!"

Almost at the same moment.

The other party seemed to have discovered Lu Yuan's presence and sensed a strong threat from him.

The blood-red insect egg in the base was wriggling more and more violently, as if something inside was struggling fiercely, trying to hatch prematurely.

Not only that.

There was also a sharp and powerful spiritual force that suddenly pierced into Lu Yuan's mind like a sharp sword, attempting to obliterate him!

"court death!"

Lu Yuan snorted coldly and immediately activated the Great Sun Golden Cicada Technique.

next moment.

Divine thoughts gathered, and a sudden burst of light appeared!
In the dimly lit underground passage, it was as if a blazing sun had risen, illuminating the entire passage as if it were daytime!

Under the illumination of this dazzling light.

That sharp mental force melted away as quickly as ice and snow, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Squeak!"

The Zerg Queen was also severely injured and immediately let out a piercing, terrifying scream.

Kill it while it's sick!
Lu Yuan showed no mercy. Dressed in the Black God Armor, he resembled a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex and forcefully broke through multiple defenses, unleashing a massacre in the underground base!
Although this place is guarded by a large number of insectoid predators, to Lu Yuan they are no different from a bunch of chickens and dogs, and are utterly vulnerable.

Just a few minutes.

The underground base was awash in blood, with countless Zerg corpses and severed limbs floating on top of the thick, foul-smelling green blood, a truly horrifying sight.

The blood-red insect egg began to wriggle more and more frantically, like a dying person making its final struggle.

However, as a sharp, sword-like dragon bone spike suddenly pierced into the blood-red insect egg, all struggles and resistance came to an abrupt halt.

While the Zerg Queen is powerful, her most threatening aspect lies in her ability to spawn an endless stream of Zerg warriors.

In contrast.

Its own combat strength is not particularly outstanding.

Moreover, this Zerg queen had not yet fully hatched, and her strength was less than one percent of her peak strength, which is why Lu Yuan was able to kill her so easily.

"Wow!"

Lu Yuan manipulated the spikes extending from the Black God Armor to cut open the blood-red insect eggs, and a large amount of green juice poured out, flowing all over the ground.

When he looked up again.

Inside the insect egg, they discovered a 'Zerg Queen' that was about three meters tall and had a dark purple body.

She was only half-hatched; her upper body was human-shaped, while her lower body was buried in flesh and blood.

Besides.

Countless large, tentacle-like blood vessels connect her body to the insect eggs, continuously providing them with nutrients and energy.

Its heart had been pierced, but it could still see Lu Yuan.

It, which was on the verge of death, suddenly raised its head and let out a mournful roar.

"Are you still alive?"

Lu Yuan was not angry, but pleased.

The stronger the vitality of the other party, the more powerful the spiritual energy and essence of flesh and blood contained within them.

What he found slightly regrettable was...

This Zerg queen was only half-hatched and had not yet transformed into a pure spiritual energy body.

However, once it completes its transformation, even someone as powerful as Lu Yuan might not be its match.

"The immense energy contained within this Zerg Queen is comparable to a powerful medicinal herb, enough for me to reach the Nascent Soul realm."

Lu Yuan strode forward, ignoring the sticky blood, and directly reached out to grab the face of the Zerg Queen.

Then he suddenly activated the Purple Cloud Divine Technique, frantically plundering the energy and essence of flesh and blood from the opponent's body!
Almost instantly.

The entire blood-red insect egg, along with the insect queen, transformed into pure, surging life force, all of which poured into Lu Yuan's body and were absorbed by him.

The Zerg Queen is a seventh-tier being, and even though she has not yet successfully hatched, the surging energy within her body is already unimaginably powerful.

Driven by this immense energy.

Lu Yuan's cultivation progress skyrocketed, improving significantly with every breath!
10%!
30%!
70%!
The experience gained from the three techniques—the Purple Cloud Divine Technique, the Holy Sun Burning Heaven Technique, and the Great Sun Golden Cicada Skill—was increasing at an astonishing rate, reaching perfection in the blink of an eye.

However, it was at this moment that...

A will, transcending multiple dimensions, suddenly descended from the sky and rushed into Lu Yuan's mind, attempting to control his soul and body.

This will is ancient and weathered; even a mere ripple can crush the void and instantly kill a powerful being in the Incarnation stage.

Under the suppression of this will.

Lu Yuan froze, standing there like a statue, unable to even blink.

The will of the hive!

This is a high-dimensional life form standing at the very top of the universe!

He is the supreme ruler of all the Dark Zerg, dwelling in the shadows where reality and darkness meet, and every move He makes can put the Covenant on high alert.

The insect hive's will that descended at this moment was only a tiny, insignificant wisp of consciousness, not even a fraction of the power of its original body.

But even so.

When it breaks through the world's barriers and successfully arrives here.

All the surviving Dark Insect warriors on Tiger Prison Star roared and howled to the sky, as if welcoming a supreme ruler!

Their morale and fighting strength, which had been at rock bottom, instantly soared to their peak, making it easy for them to take on ten opponents at once!
All of this was beyond everyone's expectations, and many professionals were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses.

Followed by.

To everyone's disbelief, a colossal phantom suddenly appeared in the dark night sky.

This phantom image obscured the sky, and seemed more like a projection from some ancient being.

Supremely divine and holy, supremely great and powerful.

Even just the tip of the iceberg was enough to make everyone utterly despair, leaving them with no will to resist!

"Is this the will of the hive?"

"Lu Yuan was right after all; Peng Bao had long been colluding with the Zerg!"

Guanghua City.

Xia Qing was surrounded by six death tornadoes, desperately trying to slow Peng Bao down.

But when this projection appeared...

The death tornado beside her seemed to be suppressed by some force, collapsing and disintegrating, and then disappeared.

After a moment of astonishment, Peng Bao was overjoyed.

Although he didn't know exactly what had happened.

But he knew it.

Once the will of the Zerg descends upon this place, it means that the overall situation is settled, and no one can stir up any more trouble!
"Give up struggling, Xia Qing. You should know very well how powerful the will of the insect hive is."

"Before such an existence, you and I are nothing but ants."

Peng Bao sneered.

"You've colluded with the Dark Zerg, aren't you afraid of being held accountable by the Covenant?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Qing's expression grew even more unpleasant.

Although she was a defector, she still had her own beliefs and principles.

It's absolutely impossible for someone as heartless and insane as Peng Bao to sacrifice hundreds of billions of ordinary residents for his own selfish gain.

"The fate of Tiger Prison Star is sealed. All of you will become food and breeding tools for the Dark Insects!"

"When that time comes, I will fly far away to other star systems, and who will know about all this?"

Peng Bao said dismissively.

But it was at this time.

Looking at the grand projection, a strange light flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes.

"The will of the hive, huh? I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Although he had lost all mobility, his expression remained calm, as if he had expected this all along.

Just as a wisp of insect hive will invaded his mind, attempting to possess him...

With a slight thought, Lu Yuan released all his cultivation suppression and successfully triggered the Golden Core Tribulation!
"Crack!"

next moment.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared.

The sky, which was originally occupied by that grand projection, is now filled with thunderclouds, forming a sea of ​​thunder that covers an area of ​​thousands of miles.

Deep within the sea of ​​thunder, lightning surged and divine light emerged, as if brewing some kind of world-destroying calamity.

The mere ripple of energy sent chills down one's spine, making it feel like the end of the world!
And under the influence of the heaven and earth lightning tribulation.

Even the grand projection seemed to be affected, its figure swaying and distorting, becoming much more illusory.

at the same time.

The overwhelming sense of oppression vanished instantly, and Lu Yuan regained his freedom of movement.

"No matter how strong the insect hive's will is, it's just a projection. How can it compare to my Golden Core Tribulation?"

Even before heading to the underground base, Lu Yuan had already guessed that he would most likely encounter the will of the insect hive.

So he decided to play along and use the Golden Core Tribulation as his trump card!

And vice versa.

He can also use the power of the insect hive's will to greatly increase the power of the lightning tribulation.

"Ordinary Core Formation cultivators would love for their tribulation lightning to be as weak as possible."

"But risks and opportunities coexist; the stronger the lightning tribulation, the more power of laws it contains."

Lu Yuan was radiant and had great ambitions.

He wanted to use the power of the lightning tribulation to hone himself and thus condense a flawless nascent soul in one fell swoop!
Just as he had predicted.

Due to the presence of the insect hive's projected will, the towering sea of ​​lightning seemed to have been angered.

The area of ​​the Thunder Sea suddenly expanded rapidly from a radius of a thousand miles to a radius of ten thousand miles!

Furthermore, the fluctuations emanating from within the Thunder Sea became increasingly terrifying, as if asserting its sovereignty.

to the end.

The projection of the insect hive's will could no longer hold on and shattered with a crash, turning into a rain of light and disappearing into the air.

"Is this a cultivator's tribulation lightning?"

Everyone stared blankly at the sky, trembling with fear.

As for Peng Bao, who was originally overjoyed, he was now ashen-faced and no longer had his previous arrogance.

Even the projection of the insect hive's will was forced to retreat, so just how terrifying was the power of this heavenly tribulation?
"Boom!"

Amidst the horrified gazes of everyone present.

A world-destroying thunder dragon, thousands of feet long, burst out of the sea of ​​thunder and descended from the sky, heading straight for Lu Yuan.

This thunder dragon is terrifying beyond compare, its power comparable to a high-yield nuclear weapon.

Once it descends, it will be enough to raze a city to the ground!
Seeing this, Lu Yuan was also inwardly groaning.

Under normal circumstances.

A cultivator who has undergone a tribulation with lightning covering an area of ​​a hundred miles is hailed as an unparalleled genius.

However, Lu Yuan had condensed a Celestial-grade Golden Core, and his foundation was too profound. In addition, the will of the insect hive interfered, causing the area of ​​the lightning tribulation to expand to a radius of tens of thousands of miles.

Such a terrifying Golden Core Tribulation would probably kill even a Nascent Soul cultivator!
"kill!"

With things having come to this point, Lu Yuan had no way out.

He could only raise his fist, leap into the air, and pounce straight at the thunder dragon.

The immortal-grade golden core within his body also trembled slightly.

It exuded an aura of eternal immortality and eternal destruction, causing Lu Yuan's combat power to surge once again.

For a while.

Thunder roared across the sky, and lightning flashed everywhere.

All anyone saw was a golden light soaring into the sky, plunging alone into the depths of the sea of ​​thunder, with earth-shattering collision sounds echoing from time to time.

Upon seeing this, Peng Bao was terrified and planned to take the opportunity to escape.

But he hadn't gone far when a bolt of lightning shot into the sky, pierced his heart, and pinned him to the ground.

After doing all this, Lu Yuan cleared his mind of all distractions and began to concentrate on undergoing the tribulation.

This tribulation of lightning was unprecedented in scale and lasted for seven days and seven nights.

He suffered repeated severe injuries, narrowly escaped death, and was almost killed by lightning.

But as time goes by.

His aura grew stronger, and his understanding of the laws of this world deepened.

Not only that.

After absorbing a large amount of lightning tribulation power, the black divine armor on the surface of his body seemed to have undergone some kind of transformation, becoming more powerful and extraordinary.

On the morning of the eighth day.

As dawn breaks and the sun rises in the east, the first rays of sunlight break through the darkness.

The vast, world-destroying sea of ​​lightning, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, finally dissipated and vanished into thin air.

Lu Yuan, enveloped in divine light, stood majestically in the heavens, like a god-king descending to earth, his radiance dazzling beyond direct eye-catching! (End of Chapter)
