Chapter 207 Second-Tier Evolution Trial
Chapter 207 Second-Tier Evolution Trial
The emptiness behind the door did not last long.
The expected pulling sensation lasted less than a second.
next moment.
The blinding light and a blast of air hit him, making it hard for him to breathe.
Lu Yan found himself standing in a treasure trove.
Beneath my feet was a golden floor, covered with incomprehensible scribbles.
Looking around, there were mountains of equipment everywhere.
The glowing armor, the buzzing sword, the staff swirling with stars... the energy fluctuations emanating from each piece of equipment were far stronger than any S-rank item he knew.
These are all god-tier equipment.
The energy in the air was frighteningly concentrated; just one breath made me feel much more energetic, even a little bloated.
This place...
Lu Yan wanted to test his condition immediately.
He wanted to call out Black Lotus.
I also want to check out the storage space.
Just as he had the thought, a clear, childlike voice rang out behind him.
"Congratulations to the challenger for seeing through illusion and discovering your true self."
Lu Yan froze and turned around abruptly.
A child, about seven or eight years old, dressed in a blue shirt and with two little pigtails, was standing with his hands behind his back, smiling at him.
Like a little book boy.
He looked harmless, with fair and clean skin, like a porcelain doll.
But those eyes... were as deep as a hole, not at all like a child's, only a kind of calm that comes from having lived for a very, very long time.
Staring into those eyes, Lu Yan felt as if he had been seen through from the inside out.
A sense of pressure descended, even more unbearable than when I faced the twelve-winged angel.
Who is this kid?
Houtu Niangniang never mentioned it.
"Who are you?" Lu Yan's voice was deep, and he didn't dare to relax.
"I?"
The pageboy smiled, a smile that held a hint of teasing beyond his years.
"You may call me 'Treasury Page'."
"This is the final stage of the 'Second-Order Evolution Trial,' and also where it begins."
As he spoke, he walked over to Lu Yan with his short legs and looked up at him.
"True second-order evolution is not what you think, simply adding some attributes."
The pageboy stretched out his finger and tapped his forehead.
"It is a leap in the level of life."
"It means obtaining the qualification to 'modify a part of the world rules'."
"This trial is to see if the challenger has the ability to withstand this power."
Change the rules of the world!
Lu Yan's heart skipped a beat.
These few words had a much greater impact on him than the room full of divine equipment.
This is the truth about second-order evolution.
This is the power that the ancient gods of China were willing to destroy themselves to block.
"It seems you understand."
The page was very satisfied with Lu Yan's reaction and nodded like a little adult.
He waved his little hand.
Boom!
The ground of the treasure vault trembled, and three enormous stone platforms, each over a hundred meters high, slowly rose from the ground, surrounding Lu Yan in the center.
"This is called the Three Gates Dharma Form."
The pageboy's voice became serious.
"These three levels represent 'absolute defense,' 'ultimate speed,' and 'commanding spirit.'"
"All you have to do is blow them up."
"Only in this way can you truly utilize that power, instead of being overwhelmed by it."
He pointed to the first stone platform on his left, on which was carved a very robust demon god.
"First challenge: The Black Evil Stone Demon."
"It represents a 'guardian' that has been corrupted."
The page had just finished speaking.
hum-
The scene before my eyes changed in an instant.
The golden treasure trove has vanished, replaced by a black Gobi desert, utterly desolate.
The sky was gray; there was no sun and no clouds.
The sand beneath my feet is black.
The statue on the first stone platform began to crack in the middle of the Gobi Desert.
"Click...click..."
Large rocks fell down, and a ten-meter-tall stone demon, made entirely of obsidian and exuding an evil aura like filth, stood up from within.
It has no facial features; its face only has a large vortex that is slowly spinning.
"roar--!"
The stone golem opened its mouth and let out a silent roar.
A ring of black ripples spread out from its feet and instantly covered the entire Gobi Desert!
Lu Yan felt the air around him suddenly sink, like mud.
It's difficult for the energy in my body to circulate.
This is... suppression by the laws!
They are completely unreasonable.
Before Lu Yan could react.
The evil stone demon had already taken heavy steps, like a moving hill, and was hurtling towards him!
The speed wasn't fast, but with each step, the whole ground shook.
That pure force reminded Lu Yan of Zhao Leiguang.
No, he's a hundred times better than Zhao Leiguang in his "dump truck" state!
Faced with such overwhelming force, the stupidest thing to do is to fight back.
Lu Yan had a sudden thought.
One lotus flower with every step.
The new professions offer more than just physical strength; they also provide a conceptual shift.
His figure faded and disappeared on the spot, like a drop of ink falling into clear water.
"Thump!"
Almost simultaneously, the Black Stone Demon's fist, thicker than a water vat, slammed heavily onto the spot where he had just stood with a speed completely disproportionate to its size.
There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a muffled, extremely loud thud, as if the heart of the entire Gobi Desert had stopped beating.
Centered on the point where the fist landed, a circular area with a diameter of over twenty meters collapsed into the ground.
It wasn't blown open; it was simply slammed down by pure physical force!
The terrifying shockwave transformed into a visible white wave of air, sweeping outwards and even causing the black sand in the distance to swirl around.
Lu Yan's figure solidified again a hundred meters away, the air currents ruffling his clothes and making a rustling sound.
He stared calmly at the terrifying pit.
This thing is even more destructive and unreasonable than when Zhao Leiguang activated "Savage Charge".
However, before he could devise a next course of action...
A sudden change occurred.
The deep crater created by the stone golem, and the surrounding area swept by the shockwave, had an eerie, dark glow on the black sand.
The light was dim, yet it greedily devoured all the energy around it.
Lu Yan clearly felt that his connection with the energy in that area had been forcibly severed by a brute force.
It's like the signal has been completely blocked.
Any attack based on energy form will be instantly decomposed, assimilated, and vanished into nothingness once it enters that area.
An absolute... "forbidden law domain".
This thing...
Lu Yan raised an eyebrow.
Damn it, they came specifically for the mage.
This is no longer a simple matter of physical immunity or high magic resistance; it's a complete removal of the "magic" option from the rules themselves.
Any profession that requires the use of energy will have 99% of its skills rendered useless in the face of this monster.
The Black Stone Demon slowly raised its fist, and the black vortex on its faceless face turned towards Lu Yan.
It once again took heavy steps, approaching slowly and deliberately.
With each step, a small forbidden zone forms on the ground.
It is gradually transforming the entire battlefield into a "magic-free zone" that is absolutely advantageous to it.
interesting.
Lu Yan wasn't nervous at all; instead, he felt like laughing.
He's very familiar with this style of play.
Isn't he just a carbon copy of Zhao Leiguang?
However, Zhao Lei only used shields and charges to divide the battlefield, attract aggro, and create space for his teammates to deal damage.
The black lump in front of us has distorted the concept of "protection" to the extreme.
It wasn't protecting its teammates, but itself.
It creates not opportunities, but despair.
By rejecting and annihilating all external forces, a "safe zone" that exists only within itself and is absolutely desolate is created.
"So this is what the 'Guardian' is like when it's been contaminated."
Lu Yan murmured to himself.
He finally understood the meaning of the servant boy's words.
This trial isn't for you to fight monsters.
It's meant to help you understand the true nature of the power you wield.
So...
Since they came for the monk.
Lu Yan looked at the stone demon who raised his fist again, a strange smile on his face.
If we don't use "spells", how do we fight?
