Chapter 351 The False Power of the Third Revolution

"Are you ready?"

Yu Zhun took a deep breath and looked at the other four people beside him.

Before them lay piles of golden-red orbs, which were the blood food of the gods, as well as countless black orbs.

The outcome of the third blood sacrifice was no surprise. They not only snatched all the blood food, but also massacred the first level of the Netherworld, turning all the ignorant demons into black orbs.

Based on the process they witnessed the birth of that third-stage demon, both types of orbs are needed to officially break through to the third stage.

"Let me remind you," Helmod said calmly, glancing at the others, "when you break through to the third rank later, you can carefully experience the complete third rank process."

"The systems of the Netherworld and the World of Divine Revelation are different, but the power of the third transformation is consistent everywhere."

"We've never experienced the third job advancement before. Although this breakthrough in the dungeon was fake, we were able to feel some things that we would inevitably feel in the future."

"This may be of great help to us in truly breaking through the third stage in the future."

Upon hearing this, the others also became serious, no longer simply viewing the upcoming breakthrough as a means to enter the next level.

"Since there are no problems, let's begin." Yu Zhun took a deep breath, reached out and grabbed a handful of divine blood food, stuffing it into his mouth.

He had absorbed hundreds of mythical fragments, but the Netherworld clearly didn't recognize them and required him to absorb them again.

As if grinding candy into powder, Yu Zhun quickly felt a surge of mythological fragments flowing into his body.

Under the activation of this aura, Yu Zhun's body expanded at a visible speed, as if it had been inflated.

Three meters... five meters... eight meters...

As his body swelled, streaks of purplish-black lines, resembling blood-red light, rapidly lit up on Yu Zhun's body surface.

These were all unusual occurrences that happened when that troll broke through to the third stage, but now, experiencing them firsthand, Yu Zhun discovered that these superficial changes were not the most important.

Because the true location where that mythical fragment's aura surged was his heart!

Or rather, the heart of his current demonic body!

With the activation of the myth fragments, the heart of the demon's body is gradually changing from pitch black to a deep purplish-black.

The blood belonging to the demon undergoes a subtle qualitative transformation with each heartbeat.

Finally, when the aura of the mythical fragments ceased to merge into his heart, Yu Zhun felt his heart had turned into a more noble and mysterious purple, with a somewhat eerie feeling that made his heart tremble.

At the same time, an unprecedentedly strong hunger surged into his heart, causing him to suddenly open his eyes and look at the black bead beside him.

food…

He needs lots and lots of food!
Yu Zhun frantically lunged at the round beads in front of him, grabbing handful after handful and stuffing them into his mouth to quench his terrible hunger.

Beside him, four other people, whose bodies had also swelled to a height of ten meters, were doing the same thing.

Devour, keep devouring!
The power of countless demons flowed into his body, into his blood, and then transformed with the throbbing of his demonic heart.

At the same time, Yu Zhun's swollen body rapidly contracted, eventually returning to the size of an ordinary demon.

When the feeling of hunger completely disappears, it is replaced by a new and powerful strength from the inside out!

That was a clear transformation beyond any second stage of life!

That's the power of a third revolution!
In Yu Zhun's perception, this power was incredibly profound. If the power of the second stage was a wisp of air, then the power of the third stage was solid ice.

There is a world of difference between the two.

At the same time, Yu Zhun's panel also quietly disappeared, replaced by a chaotic mass of special energy that mixed everything about him.

Is this the fundamental power of the third transformation?

Yu Zhun could sense that none of his abilities had disappeared; they had simply been gathered into this mass of primordial power.

He could use any means he once possessed through this primal power, if he so desired.

No, it's more than that.

It is one, and it is also infinite.

Yu Zhun can even use the power of origin to continuously evolve entirely new abilities.

This was a strange feeling I had never experienced before.

Yu Zhun focused all his attention on the newborn power of origin, completely unaware that he was quietly entering a strange state.

"Om-"

A deep hum resounded, and the teleportation power erupted instantly, sending Yu Zhun and his teammates, who had also broken through to the third level, into the next level.

After the world spun around, Helmod regained his footing and looked around. His expression suddenly changed.

A strange and peculiar fluctuation emanated from Yu Zhun's body.

That is…

The Realm of True Self!

"He actually entered the realm of true self like this." Helmod murmured in a low voice, his expression becoming solemn.

It is certainly a good thing that Yu Zhun has entered the realm of true self, but the timing is very inappropriate.

They have just entered a completely new level of the Netherworld, which is now fraught with danger. It would be extremely difficult without a key combatant.

Just as he was thinking of this, another strange fluctuation, exactly the same, suddenly appeared.

Hermod's pupils contracted slightly, and she turned her head abruptly, only to see Luwen standing motionless in place.

This guy has also entered the realm of true self!

Helmod quickly looked at the other two.

Fortunately, Yu Zhu and Udir did not have similar situations.

The latter had already entered the realm of true self once, and to enter this state that others so desperately crave again would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

As for the former, perhaps the time is not yet right.

In any case, only the three of them can move now.

“This is a bit troublesome.” Udyr also saw the current situation and said in a deep voice, “Yu Zhun and Lu Wen have entered the Realm of True Self. They cannot be disturbed or moved.”

"We can only stay here and protect them."

"If other demons attack at this time, we can only fight back, and we absolutely cannot let them be affected."

“Not only that.” Yu Zhu took a deep breath, “The two of them have entered the Realm of True Self, so it’s impossible for them to actively use [Demonic Concealment].

"This means that their blood-eating aura cannot disappear."

The three of them exchanged glances, their eyes filled with helplessness.

“Even if it’s dangerous, we can only grit our teeth and wait,” Helmod sighed. “Stay vigilant.”

Udyr nodded, gripping his longbow tightly, but his gaze couldn't help but fall on the two who had entered the Realm of True Self.

In her true self, she saw Lu Wen standing on the opposite side of them in the future. Would the future that Lu Wen saw be like that?
Does Yu Zhun foresee the same future as she does?
"This is where?"

Suddenly snapping out of his daze, Yu Zhun realized that he was now in a completely different world.

It was an extremely dark world, with faint crimson light and eerie purple glow intertwined in the sky. An ancient and desolate aura rushed over, causing Yu Zhun's mood to sink uncontrollably.

"Is this the second level of the Netherworld?"

His brow furrowed slightly, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

If so, where are the other four people?
If not, then where is this?

"Could it be that we'll be separated if we enter other levels?" Yu Zhun frowned in thought. "Is this yet another new problem for the Netherworld?"

Muttering to himself, Yu Zhun tightened his grip on the pair of daggers in his hands and slowly moved forward step by step.

He walked step by step into the darkness. The expected attack did not occur; the place was deserted, as if he were the only one there. "Tap~"

Yu Zhun suddenly stopped, a sharp glint in his eyes.

"wrong!"

"This is not the underworld!"

He suddenly looked down at his hands, at the daggers within them.

Those weren't weapons Hermod forged for him, but his original weapons: the [Netherworld Swift Blade] and the [Netherworld Mourning Blade].

Moreover, the primordial power that had been mixed together after breaking through to the third stage has now been transformed back into his original power.

However, the [Demonic Concealment] technique he learned on the first level of the Netherworld had vanished without a trace.

All signs indicate that this is definitely not the "Land of the Underworld".

Considering his previous dazed state, another answer was about to emerge in his mind.

"Have I... entered the realm of my true self?"

Realizing this, Yu Zhun felt no joy, only anxiety and worry.

This state of true self has come at the worst possible time!

Even without thinking, he knew how dangerous the situation was for his four teammates outside.

Yu Zhun was unaware that Lu Wen had also entered the Realm of True Self, otherwise he would probably be even more worried.

At the same time, Yu Zhun was well aware of how rare it was to have the opportunity to reach the realm of true self, as only a very few lucky people could experience it once.

He cannot easily give up his true self.

Since that's the case, we have no choice but to end it as soon as possible!
With this in mind, Yu Zhun quickened his pace and began searching in this dimly lit world.

Based on Udyr's previous experience of entering the Realm of the True Self, he needs to find something similar to a "lake".

Only there could he see some possibility for the future.

However, Yu Zhun had explored almost the entire Realm of True Self, but he couldn't find anything that could be related to the "lake".

There is only barren and empty land here, nothing else.

"how so…"

Yu Zhun couldn't help but mutter to himself, and then, as if he had thought of something, he looked up at the sky again, at the intertwined scarlet blood light and eerie purple light.

Previously, he mistakenly thought this was the "Netherworld," so he simply regarded it as a new scene on another level of the Netherworld.

But now that it's confirmed this isn't the Netherworld, these two beams of light seem rather strange.

The realm of the true self is a world that belongs to oneself.

Here, every blade of grass and every tree corresponds to one's own heart.

So what are these two beams of light?

Furthermore, this is not the underworld, so why is it as dark and deep as the underworld?
Yu Zhun pondered for a moment, his expression growing increasingly grim.

He had a vague idea of ​​what was going on, but this was the last thing he wanted to happen.

"The Crimson Demon Lord and the Netherworld don't want me to see the future?"
-
"Have I finally entered the realm of my true self?"

Looking at the familiar scenery around him, Lu Wen clicked his tongue.

His true self was the place he knew best, the top of the tower where he had sought guidance from the master of the Ascending God Pavilion day and night.

So as soon as he entered, Lu Wen keenly realized that he had left the Netherworld.

"No matter what, I can finally clear up my doubts." Lu Wen exhaled a breath and spoke slowly.

That day in the Forbidden Ruins, Udyr told him that he would be standing against his teammates in the future.

He didn't believe it, but a thorn remained in his heart.

Even though things eventually returned to normal on the surface, the thorn in my heart never truly disappeared.

Would he betray these partners who had shared life and death with him?
Lu Wen repeatedly asked himself these questions day and night.

But every time he asked himself this question, his answer was no.

“Then let me see for myself.” Lu Wen’s eyes flashed with a fierce light. “How exactly did I become a 'traitor'?”

With that, Lu Wen leaped off the top of the tower.

After searching for a while, Lu Wen returned to the original spot, a suspicious look on his face. "Strange...why didn't I find the lake?"

"Could it be that my true self is different from Udyr's?"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but look around.

Lu Wen suddenly froze when his gaze fell on the mirror to the side.

He approached the mirror step by step, looking at the figure in the mirror, which was also approaching him step by step, but was completely different from him.

"this is me?"
-
"The rustling—"

With a slight sound, the eyes of Helmod and the other two, who were on edge, flashed with a sharp light.

As soon as a demon with the aura of a third-level being emerged from the darkness, Udyr locked onto it and swiftly drew his bow and shot an arrow.

A blurry afterimage, barely perceptible to the naked eye, rippled through the void, creating invisible ripples, and instantly struck the opponent!
After the third job advancement, Udyr's arrows became far more powerful than imagined; the arrows that used to whistle through the wind were now completely silent.

The qualitative change is in speed!

The arrow, after three turns, already possessed the power to pierce through space.

"Snapped!"

The third-stage demon slightly raised his hand, grasped the blurry arrow in his hand, and easily snapped it in two with a slight force, then revealed a cruel smile.

"Bear--"

A golden holy fire that almost illuminated the entire world appeared out of thin air, directly engulfing the body of the third-level demon. The terrifying high temperature distorted the space and was enough to burn everything, including the spirit!
A faint wail emanated from the sacred flame.

"It works!" Helmod's face lit up with joy, excited about the powerful strength he had gained.

But the next moment, Yu Zhu let out a cry of surprise.

"careful!"

"Pfft-"

Helmod felt a sharp pain in his chest, and his joyful expression froze instantly. He stared in astonishment at the third-level demon who had appeared behind him at some unknown time, whose blade had already pierced through his body from behind.

Their eyes met, and the third-stage demon revealed a cruel smile.

Helmod suddenly realized something.

This guy is acting!
The screams were fake; the other party was not affected by the Olympic flame at all!
"Om-"

With a low hum, Helmod's health bar instantly returned to full, a flash of golden light appeared, and he quickly distanced himself from the third-tier demon.

That was the resurrection effect that Yu Zhu gave immediately.

The third-stage demon looked at Yu Zhu with a hint of surprise in his eyes, tilted his head, and looked at him.

"Heal!" Yu Zhu's heart tightened, and without hesitation, he cast a healing spell on the third-level demon in front of him.

A green glow appeared beside the third-stage demon, but the demon's hand had already gripped Yu Zhu's neck.

The hearts of all three sank simultaneously.

Weakness...ineffective?
