I'm not just human!

But that wasn't enough. Countless smaller eyeballs around the giant eyeball also emitted transparent, high-energy destructive beams of light, which coalesced into extremely sharp spikes that descended along with the giant beam of light.

This was almost a fatal blow. The enormous eyeball resembled a terrifying unknown being wandering in the Protoss Realm. Even a transcendent monarch could not withstand such an attack!

However, Xia Fa remained calm, letting the dark blood in his eyes flow down, and slowly raised his hands, pointing them towards the sky.

With a "whoosh," a wall of air, hundreds of kilometers in diameter, opened up.

boom--!!!

The transparent beam of light, accompanied by countless smaller beams of light, crashed down against the air wall, but failed to penetrate it even slightly!

Xia Fa simply raised his hands and blocked this world-destroying blow!

Perhaps because such a huge air wall was used, faint ancient patterns finally appeared on it.

The patterns seemed to originate from the beginning of the universe and the birth of all things, or they seemed to point directly to the moment when the universe ended and all living beings were annihilated. They appeared grand, sacred, sublime, and majestic, like an epic mural personally painted by a true god.

Snap! Snap! Snap!

The next moment, the pitch-black space shattered, along with the giant eyeball.

A sudden flash of silvery light struck, and Xia Fa, whose vision had been restored, was still a little disoriented, raising her hand to shield her eyes.

He suddenly realized something.

"Was everything just now...an illusion?"

Whether it was the sharp claws, the gun-wielding demon and the sword-wielding knight, or even the enormous eyeball and the pitch-black space itself... they all seemed to be illusions.

Not only that, the explosion of his own eyeballs was also an illusion.

However, although it was all an illusion, there was only one thing that was true.

Xia Fa raised his hands, a thought forming in his mind.

With a "buzz", the transparent air wall appeared.

At this moment, with his eyes "grown" back, Xia Fa could see clearly that the patterns on the transparent air wall were extremely gorgeous and intricate, as well as extremely ancient and solemn.

Moreover, subtly, when this transparent wall of air appeared, the flow rate of the mystical living silver within his body seemed to accelerate.

Xia Fa, still in a state of enlightenment, had already figured out what this was all about.

One of the three divine battle tactics of absolute defense, the Sighing Barrier.

Although I had a vague idea before that if I could successfully advance my physical training and reach sixty pull-ups after one hundred push-ups, I would be able to master another divine combat technique.

But Xia Fa never expected that the divine battle technique he had just mastered would be the [Absolute Defense], one of the three strongest divine battle techniques of the righteous god, the [Sighing Barrier]!

The Wailing Barrier, just as he had realized and understood in that illusion, would grant him complete defensive capabilities, blocking any attack!

Of course, this only applies to attacks launched by enemies of similar strength.

If it were an unknown entity like that giant eyeball, I could only block one attack after using the Wailing Barrier.

The reason the illusion ended just now was not because he had completely mastered the Wailing Barrier, but because the person in the illusion had exhausted his strength after using the Wailing Barrier to block an attack that should have been absolutely impossible to block!

In reality, he would lose his fighting ability, or even fall into a coma.

In the context of hallucinations, the hallucinations naturally end.

Because they were no longer able to deal with other attacks.

"In other words, if I am facing an opponent of similar strength, I can block most of their attacks as long as I use them properly and in a timely manner."

"If it is someone whose strength far surpasses mine, such as a transcendent monarch, a mysterious emperor, a god, an outer god, or an unknown being of similar strength... I can only use [Wailing Barrier] to block just one of their attacks."

"After that, you can only use it again once your strength has recovered..."

After Xia Fa finished his deduction, he felt extremely happy.

Putting everything else aside, the [Wailing Barrier] is definitely a great way to save your life!

Although it can only block one attack from those powerful beings, it's probably not very useful, especially when being chased.

However, it might just be able to save your life at some crucial moment!

For example, the moment when he tried to snatch that "certificate of eternity" from Dionysius...

Of course, as analyzed earlier, you must use the [Wailing Barrier] to block and then run away, and you must not be chased down by Dionysius, otherwise there is not much you can do, because you can only block once.

"So, compared to these truly powerful beings, I'm still too weak..."

Xia Fa shook his head and sighed, his desire to become stronger rising once again.

"I wonder what the other two divine battle techniques of Lord [Absolute Defense] are? Maybe we can ask that young miner next time we sign a hegemon-level secret contract?"

Xia Fa suddenly had a brilliant idea and thought it was very feasible.

Anyway, that young miner claimed to have "absolute defense" without power, so if you ask him, he should probably know, right?

Especially after witnessing the power of the [Wailing Barrier], Xia Fa became even more curious about the other two divine combat techniques created by the righteous god [Absolute Defense].

"Fortunately, I thought that after this physical training, I would obtain one of the two divine battle techniques, [Non-Existence of the Original Body] or [Tree Realm]. If that were the case, it wouldn't really suit me."

"Of course, the [non-existent body] is still useful, especially in terms of survival..."

Xia Fa chuckled self-deprecatingly, then suddenly remembered something and reached out to touch his eyes.

He had a feeling that his eyes had completed their transformation.

However, apart from gaining another divine battle technique, it seems... nothing else has changed.

However, he also had a vague intuition that because the transformation of his eyeballs was complete, he had indeed undergone a very significant change, but it was not usually apparent.

Recalling the ability to "randomly freeload meals" that he gained during his second workout in the attic of Rum City, Xia Fa suddenly had some guesses.

"Does that mean we have to randomly freeload meals and enter a state of complete blurring in order to find out what changes have occurred in our eyes?"

Just then, having finished exercising, I realized that the extraordinary meal I had eaten was completely gone, and I was feeling quite hungry.

Moreover, upon closer reflection, the entity he had been impersonating, the "Glutton," seemed to have been absent from the scene for quite some time...

"Hmm... I'll take a break, and then go find a random place to eat!"

I just finished exercising, so I'm still a bit tired, especially since I've only recovered a little bit of my strength.

With a casual wave of his hand, Xia Fa shattered the red and silver star shell along with the solid ice bar.

Looking around and seeing that nothing else had happened in the bedroom, Xia Fa nodded in satisfaction and went straight to the bathroom.

The Emperor Suite at the Lushry Hotel costs 10,000 gold pounds per night, and the bathroom is naturally extremely luxurious, even extravagant.

The semi-circular bathtub is made of pine wood, with two stone statues of beautiful women above it, each holding a narrow-necked bottle from which boiling hot spring water gurgles.

That was spring water from a fairy spring deep underground in the Worm Islands. After being heated by underground magma through layers of stone, it was transported directly up through pipes and continuously poured into this pine bathtub.

The aroma of pine wood fills the gold-tiled bathroom as it is heated by the hot water, and just a whiff is enough to soothe the soul.

Xia Fa stepped into the pine bathtub and slowly lay down, spreading his arms and resting his head on the edge of the tub. His slender and agile body was on full display, his muscles bulging like rocks, exuding a strong masculine aura.

"Aha--"

He let out a long, comfortable breath. He had just finished exercising and was feeling exhausted. Immersing himself in the hot spring allowed him to relax completely. The scent of pine wood wafted past his nose and smelled quite pleasant.

The bathroom was filled with a hazy, dreamlike atmosphere, with a tranquil night sky and a bright moon outside the window. Stars twinkled, and cicadas chirped from outside.

It was absolutely enjoyable.

As Xia Fa lay there, he felt his strength slowly returning.

Feeling a bit thirsty, I lowered my head and took a sip of the spring water in the bathtub, only to find it slightly salty.

"Huh? Why is it salty? I remember the fairy spring water was supposed to be a little sweet..."

He rubbed it a couple of times, still feeling a slight smell of sweat, but Xia Fa didn't care. Suddenly, he thought of something, made a clenching motion in the air with one hand, and the copper-cased notebook appeared.

Several more days have passed, and it's been almost half a month since I last saw Benedictine. Shafa really misses this silly but lively and cheerful doll girl.

Moreover, now that he has signed the [Mysterious Singularity] hegemon-level contract, his rank has finally risen to the Wolf level, and he has already broken away from the category of low-level superhumans like the Fungus, Insect, and Eagle. So, he should be able to see the contents of his training notes that he couldn't see before, right?

Xia Fa remembered that he had seen in his training notes that the former Doll Queen Heatherpolia had taken Benedictine to special training in order to help Benedictine become a demigod and to allow Benedictine to regrow the ball joints of the Doll God.

However, although the content of the special training appeared in Benedict's training notes, he couldn't access it.

It's probably because his rank was too low or his strength was insufficient at the time.

But now that I've risked using the critical point of losing control once, I can face off against the extraordinary monarch head-on. I should be able to check it now, right?

With that thought in mind, Xia Fa took a deep breath and nervously opened Benedict's training notebook, turning to the latest page.

Then, his eyes lit up.

It works now!

Looking at the new training record that was almost full of writing, and smelling the long-lost faint scent of ink, Xia Fa immediately began to flip through it with great interest.

Perfect, since we're already soaking in the hot springs, let's relax and unwind, just like reading a novel.

Moreover, it's obvious that one page isn't enough to finish writing it all; there's probably another page to go.

Oh no, this isn't fiction. This is a true story that happened in the Endless Realm, something Beneath experienced firsthand!

Just as this world is real, and I am real, everything is real, not fiction.

【call--】

【call--】

The wind howled through the air, and the leaves of all kinds of trees in the forest swayed and rose and fell with the wind, as if forming a huge sea of ​​trees, with waves rolling.

In the heart of the forest, a giant, oval-shaped egg lies quietly on the damp earth.

The giant egg had a surface as smooth as a ceramic tile, covered with spots of various sizes and colors, as if it were laid by some unknown prehistoric creature.

[Hatherpuria's translucent soul, accompanied by the doll-like girl Beneath, stood beneath the giant egg.]

Seeing this, Xia Fa suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

It seems that as Benedict's strength increased, her training notebook became much more detailed and specific in recording her adventures.

Instead of simply summarizing Bennett's general experiences as it did initially, this approach...

"This bronze-bound notebook, in a sense, is the embodiment of Benedict's extraordinary talent as a humanoid supernatural being..."

"In other words, as Beneath's strength increases, her soul and spirit also strengthen, and the recording ability and effectiveness of the training notes also greatly improve?"

Xia Fa speculated, nodded slightly, and continued reading without giving it much thought.
