Yue Zhong sensed the will capable of covering the entire world, and his eyes lit up in a pleasant surprise, "What a powerful will!!"
Currently, after Yue Zhong had experienced that battle, he had already comprehended the usage of will. He was hoping to temper his own will as well since it would benefit him when he was stepping into the half-Type 9 realm.
Feeling the powerful will, Yue Zhong steeled himself and walked steadily into the inner mountain, and with each step, the pressure increased.
Not too long after, Xiangma Hui also flew into the chasm, resisting the effects of the will as she walked further into temper her own will.
In the Great G.o.d World, it was a constant battle to reach the top. That was the cruel reality of the world. Even a female cultivator would constantly train herself given the chance, to become a true expert.
Yue Zhong"s evolved G.o.d-Devil Body was the most perfect physique and strongest of the G.o.d-level physiques. It represented the peak of the 800 worlds and empowered the owner to have high comprehension talent. Not only could Yue Zhong sense the will, but he was also able to feel a hidden, unyielding aura, as well as other strange powers.
As he sensed it and absorbed the will in order to temper his understanding towards the laws and principles, Yue Zhong"s speed became even slower.
Not long after, Maruf also chased up, and he did not say anything, before charging right into the narrow tunnel containing the terrifying will.
Resisting the will, Maruf continued to soar forward, surpa.s.sing Yue Zhong"s speed.
When he pa.s.sed by Yue Zhong, he shot him a look, revealing a self-confident smile, "Seems like your will isn"t strong. Although your combat power is strong, a person with a weak will would never be able to become a Type 9 powerhouse. I will surpa.s.s you in the future."
Following the pa.s.sage of time, the 3 of them traversed further and further down the path.
When Xiangma Hui reached the 200m-mark, her face turned pale, and she crumpled to the floor, gasping for air while her eyes were filled with shock.
Maruf also started turning pale the moment he crossed the 200m mark. It was no longer as easy to continue, each step as heavy as though a mountain was pressing down on him. He struggled for another 30m before his body buckled and he stuck to the floor, with no way to move.
While gasping for air, he braved a throbbing headache and retreated step by step, "So terrifying, this is a will of a True G.o.d expert. And to think that this is a relatively calm and stable one. If it had been filled with any killing intent, it would have done me in the first instance. A True G.o.d expert is too terrifying."
As he was crawling back, the sounds of steady footsteps sounded from behind.
Maruf turned to look and noticed Yue Zhong progressing slowly but steadily over.
He continued to walk casually, soon pa.s.sing Xiangma Hui and did not look like he was going to stop. Under Maruf"s envious gaze, he continued forward, surpa.s.sing Maruf in a relaxed manner.
Maruf saw how easily Yue Zhong went pa.s.s him and was filled with jealousy. At the same time, what he hated more was that Yue Zhong did not even look at him from the start till the end, as though he had never placed him in his eyes, not treating him as compet.i.tion, "d.a.m.n it!! How is his will so strong as well?"
Annie, who had been hiding all this while, eyed Yue Zhong"s back with shock in her eyes, "Strong! His will is really terrifying as well. Truly a talent that is capable of triggering the tiger and dragon image."
Annie could only walk up to a location about 170m in and had no choice but to stay back. She could sense that her strength was enough to get her to the 180m-mark, but still far from comparable to Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong maintained his rhythm, and when he pa.s.sed the 300m mark, he finally felt some form of pressure. When he reached the 360m, an overbearing pressure weighed down on him, slamming into his will like a storm.
Under the torrential a.s.sault, Yue Zhong"s face turned pale, his back breaking out in sweat, and it looked as though he had just come out from the sea.
Yue Zhong shut his eyes and focused on his avatar within his sea of consciousness.
The attacking will appeared within Yue Zhong"s sea of consciousness, forming into a humanoid character decked in golden armor, his features sharp and saintly, emitting the aura of a ruler of life and death.
He stared at Yue Zhong in disdain, declaring contemptuously, "Despicable ant!! Kneel, and submit, and I shall grant you eternal life and endless glory!!"
With those words, there was a feeling that rose up in Yue Zhong"s mind, as though he was an ordinary beggar, looking up at a majestic emperor, and he was filled with fear and awe. It was as though that the True G.o.d expert was a natural ruler, and he did not need to consider further about expressing his fealty.
"NO! I CANNOT KNEEL!"
Just as he was about to get to his knees, his inner-self roared out in fury and shook him back to clarity.
Before the apocalypse, he had been an ordinary person, his biggest dream was to open a medium-sized enterprise with his close buddies, living a comfortable and secure life. Even if he had to bow to authority or bigger powers, he could only accept it helplessly.
However, throughout the apocalypse, he had been through so many battles, and slowly reached this stage. He had already transformed, from a n.o.body, into a ruler and an expert. He could sense that the moment he bowed to this True G.o.d expert, then from this moment on, even if he reached the True G.o.d stage with his G.o.d-Devil Body, he would be doomed never to advance further in his cultivation.
"You"re already a dead man, the dead should go back to their graves. Let me send you back there!!"
Inside Yue Zhong"s sea of consciousness, the small avatar of Yue Zhong suddenly grew larger, and let out a powerful roar, filled with strength and he emitted a powerful combat intent while charging at the True G.o.d expert.
The True G.o.d expert saw Yue Zhong charging over, and his face fell while roaring out, "Audacious! You dare to antagonize the might of a True G.o.d?! Break for me!!"
Under that ordinary finger, all things in the universe seemed to be sucked into him and began to press down upon Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong"s body was immediately crushed and destroyed by that pressure.
However, just as that avatar disintegrated, another one of him appeared within the sea of consciousness. As it appeared, he charged towards the True G.o.d expert once more, utilizing his strongest technique in his a.r.s.enal, the Yin-Yang palm, "This is my consciousness, as long as my will is not eradicated, I will keep reviving in here! Whereas you"re just a lingering will!! Your strength will diminish over time, and you will be ground away by me!! Just accept your death obediently and be a part of me!"
"Wishful thinking! Lowly existence, even if I"m just a will, I"m enough to wipe you out. You might be undying in here, but each time your avatar gets crushed, the pain should be intense and wrecks you!! When you aren"t able to hold out, it will be when your will is crushed and you will die!!"
The True G.o.d expert laughed coldly, and fired another finger, causing the pressure of the universe to weigh down and meet Yue Zhong"s Yin-Yang Palm, destroying it as well as the avatar in the process.
The Yin-Yang Palm might be extremely powerful, it was still a technique derived by a Type 7 powerhouse. While it was useful against others, it was definitely not as effective against a True G.o.d expert. It felt like the entire universe was suppressing him.
Inside the sea of consciousness, Yue Zhong"s avatar appeared, again and again, charging at the True G.o.d expert with his Yin-Yang Palm once more.
The expert just continued to point out with his Cosmic Finger, crus.h.i.+ng Yue Zhong each time.
The fight in Yue Zhong"s sea of consciousness affected his true body, as he laid crumpled on the ground, rolling around in agony, while his face was contorted with pain.
Each time he gets annihilated, it felt like he had just been through a car crash. If it was not for his resolute will, and the intense desire to live, he would have died long ago.
However, at the same time, while his avatar kept being crushed, in the process of reforming, his will became stronger.
At the same time, the lingering will became weaker as time pa.s.sed, after all, he was not a True G.o.d expert, but just a residual intent.
"Break for me!"
As Yue Zhong was destroyed for the hundredth time, he directly condensed a Cosmic Finger, pointing it at the True G.o.d expert as the power of the universe surged into this attack of his.
