Devouring the Stars: Withdrawing Talents

Chapter 328 You Want More Nephews

City Lord's Mansion, Chaos Ruins.

On the endless vast land, the Lord of Chaos City sat cross-legged among the corpses.

"Ok?"

"A message sent directly from the virtual universe system? Could it be some important news?"

The Lord of Chaos City opened his eyes, and a trace of consciousness quickly entered the virtual universe.

Virtual universe, temple of chaos.

In the Chaos Hall surrounded by endless air currents, the Chaos City Lord suddenly appeared. A light curtain lit up in front of him, and on the light curtain appeared a scene of a young man venturing into the sea of ​​illusion.

"This is……"

The Lord of Chaos City looked at the light curtain with a look of surprise on his face.

……

The plane of fantasy sea.

Boom~~
The black sea roared, and the waves set off huge waves of tens of meters, hitting the cliff shore again and again.

In the deepest part of the Illusionary Sea, on the edge of the twenty-first island, an old man in black scale armor and a golden robe was sitting cross-legged in meditation.

he……

He is the guardian of the entire sea of ​​illusion.

"Ok?"

The old man with black scales on his face suddenly opened his old eyes, looked at the young man who was venturing into the sea of ​​illusion in the distance, and exclaimed in a low voice.

"A cosmic-level little fellow actually broke through twenty islands in the Fantasy Sea. This is a miracle that has never happened in the entire history of the human race."

The twenty-one islands in the Sea of ​​Illusion are actually very similar to the twenty-one floors of the Tongtian Bridge. Both correspond to the level of the Universe Venerable, but one tests the comprehension of the laws, and the other tests the consciousness and will.

Conscious will
This is a very illusory and difficult to grasp concept. In terms of willpower alone, the apprentice level is not necessarily worse than the realm master level, but the strength of consciousness is definitely far inferior to the realm master level.

The sea of ​​illusions not only tests one's will, it also tests one's consciousness.

Every island in the Illusionary Sea is filled with terrifying consciousness pressure. The further you go, the more terrifying the consciousness pressure becomes. Starting from the tenth island, it is the consciousness pressure of immortal gods, and the twenty-first island is even at the level of the universe master.

A little guy who is just at the cosmic level can actually withstand the pressure of the twentieth island.

Unbelievable!

……

Illusionary Sea, the twentieth island.

A hint of white gradually emerged in the dark sea in the distance, revealing an island deeper in the ocean. Only after passing through the illusion of one island will the next island emerge in the illusion sea.

"hu~hu~"

"This illusion sea is truly formidable. The pressure of consciousness becomes increasingly terrifying as we advance. I wonder if I can make it past the twenty-first island."

On the gravel ground of the island, Hong Zheng was breathing heavily. He felt that he had been squeezed to the extreme in the sea of ​​illusion, and even his mental consciousness felt a little tired.

Every time you enter a fantasy island, the first thing you encounter is a bombardment of conscious pressure, like a mountain smashing down on your consciousness.

It is purely a contest of the strength of consciousness. If the consciousness is hit hard, you will feel dizzy and confused. In the dizziness and confusion, you will fall into an illusion and lose the game without realizing it.

"Unfortunately, I have just entered the third level of my state of mind and have not yet truly achieved perfection."

Hong thought to himself that if he could achieve perfection in the third level of his state of mind, he would not be afraid of the pressure from the consciousness of the sea of ​​illusion. His heart was infinite and tolerant of everything, and he could tolerate any pressure no matter how strong it was.

My heart is infinite.

Nature cannot be crushed by oppression.

"I also want……"

"Look at my limits!"

Hong instantly soared into the sky, turned into a stream of light, and flew towards the 21st island.

……

Call ~
The Lord of Chaos City appeared in the sky, overlooking the endless sea of ​​illusions below.

"Brother!"

A figure walked out of nowhere. He was simply wearing a black coat, and inside the black coat was a strange armor that was a combination of silver and black.

His skin was as white as jade, and he had a shiny bald head with extremely strange and complex black secret patterns on his head. Who was he looking at?

It was like a venomous snake in the dark night, spitting its core from behind someone's neck. Even the surrounding space and time were affected by it, and the entire space and time were plunged into a strange atmosphere. "Junior brother, I didn't expect you to come!"

When the Lord of Chaos City saw the person coming, he said with some surprise that the person coming was his junior brother, the Lord of Darkness, one of the hidden strengths of the human race.

The Lord of Darkness is extremely low-key. He rarely interferes in the affairs of the human race, rarely shows up, and few people even know of his existence.

"This little guy is destined to be with me!"

Above the Sea of ​​Illusions, the Lord of Darkness looked at the young man who had ventured into the Sea of ​​Illusions below, then turned to look at the Lord of Chaos City, and suddenly said with a look of ridicule.

"Brother, it seems you are going to have a new nephew. You must prepare the gift for him!"

The Lord of Darkness is an illusion warrior. Every move of his contains an illusion attack, making it hard to defend against.

"This little fellow's cultivation level is extremely high. Almost any illusion is ineffective against him. His best training path is indeed the Illusion Warrior Flow."

"However, his training journey will be long."

The Lord of Chaos City nodded. Although Hong's understanding of the laws was quite good, it was still hundreds or thousands of times worse than those peerless geniuses.

Comprehension of the laws requires extremely high levels of conformity to the laws. Some people comprehend the laws hundreds or thousands of times faster than others because the higher the degree of conformity, the clearer the understanding.

A high level of spiritual cultivation can only slightly assist in the speed of cultivation, and can only increase it by two or three times. However, the difference between one's comprehension of the laws and that of a genius will still be hundreds or thousands of times.

“Slowness isn’t a big deal, as long as there’s constant progress. What’s scary is sudden stagnation.”

The Lord of Darkness said that a truly strong person, in addition to internal and external qualities such as talent, understanding, and secret techniques, more importantly, has a strong heart.

The will remains firm!

A genius with good talent and excellent resources, if he also has a terrible will, then this genius has only two paths:

Reaching a dead end and falling!

Become a super strong one!
"Although his talent is somewhat lacking, his character and will are strong enough. If he becomes my disciple, I can at least train him to become a Universe Master in due time."

The Lord of Darkness said calmly that he had, after all, personally trained a Lord of the Universe. In the lineage of the Virtual Universe Company, he was the most qualified, besides Yuan, to teach disciples.

……

The 21st island in the Fantasy Sea.

A streak of light fell onto the island's beach, and the illusion of the twenty-first island descended with an incomparably terrifying pressure.

"Boom!"

It was as if the sky collapsed and hit Hong's consciousness directly. In almost an instant, Hong's consciousness was completely shattered.

The twenty-first island.

failure!

In the face of a consciousness as strong as that of a Universe Master, no matter how resolute and unshakable your will is, you will be blasted into pieces like an ant.

……

"Good will!"

“But the gap between consciousness is too big.”

Above the Illusion Sea, the Lord of Chaos City, who witnessed all this, shook his head.

The strength of consciousness depends on the strength of mental power, the width of the brain, etc. The higher the strength, the stronger the consciousness.

For example, a Realm Lord, even if his willpower is average, can easily kill a planetary or stellar-level being just by emitting the pressure of consciousness.

This is a gap in awareness.

"Block this news!"

The voice of the Lord of Chaos City immediately penetrated the endless fog of the Sea of ​​Illusion and reached the ears of the old man in black scale armor.

"Yes!"

The old man in black scale armor responded.

"what!"

Just after explaining all this, the Lord of Chaos City suddenly let out a light exclamation, and then looked at the Lord of Darkness beside him.

"Haha, junior brother."

"Looks like you're going to have another nephew!"
