After Kankan stabilized his body's balance, Gao Yuan lay awkwardly on the ground.
Even so, his body was still uncontrollable, sliding bit by bit in the direction behind him.
This feeling was very strange. He found himself shrouded in the gray light and shadow emitted by the strange giant sword opposite.
The intensity of the gravity that I normally experience has once again been increased by more than a thousand times out of thin air!
More importantly, the direction of this huge force of gravity seemed to have been interfered by an unknown ability, and was twisted into a direction directly behind his body.
And this weirdly distorted gravity was the fundamental reason why he and the 'spherical combat puppet' above his head were forcefully pushed away from where they were!
"The ability to greatly increase the intensity of gravity and at the same time forcibly distort the direction of gravity?"
"What a weird ability!"
“I just don’t know whether this distortion of the direction of gravity is purely random and uncontrollable, or whether it can be controlled freely?”
"If this ability can significantly increase the gravity on the target and at the same time change the direction of gravity at will, then it will definitely be a combat skill with incredible practical effects!"
"If this happens suddenly in an actual battle, it will definitely have an unexpected and miraculous effect!"
"Even if you are prepared in advance, unless you can interfere with this weird gravity field, the change in the direction of gravity is not something you can easily adapt to if you know the principle!"
While his mind was spinning, Gao Yuan carefully observed the subsequent movements of the puppet guard opposite, while quickly analyzing and summarizing in his mind the characteristics of the strange ability currently used by the latter.
And based on this, he calculated his specific odds of winning against him.
And whether it is necessary to temporarily avoid the edge and leave here, and then come back to challenge again when the strength becomes stronger later.
Just when he was secretly hesitating in his heart, Gao Yuan suddenly noticed that the movement of the puppet guard opposite him stagnated and stopped abruptly.
The gray light and shadow radiating from the surface of the strange giant sword in his hand also quietly converged.
And the strange gravitational field acting on him from across the air also disappeared instantly.
After listening briefly for about a second, the puppet guard suddenly turned around and drifted away along the original path.
I saw it flash several times in succession, then returned to the position where it first appeared, and became silent again.
…
At this time, Gao Yuan, after some calculations, had already retreated in his heart.
After all, during the electric confrontation between the two sides just now?
This puppet guard instantly tore apart the 'Shadow Whirlwind' with just one blow from his heavy sword, and then severely damaged the two magic weapons, the 'Shanlan Shield' and the 'Blue Sky Sword'.
Even in the end, he still had enough energy to use the protection of Gao Yuan's defense methods to forcibly injure his body.
This earth-shattering blow really shocked him.
At this time, the puppet guard, based on the amazing explosive power before, once again showed something that made Gao Yuan even more surprised -
It is suspected that the strange ability can directly control the gravity field!
Without knowing whether this puppet guard will have other more terrifying abilities in the future, it is really not a wise choice to rashly get entangled with the latter!
Just when Gao Yuan secretly mobilized the 'blood element' in his body and prepared to use the secret technique of avatar to escape, the follow-up action of the puppet guard made his movements stagnant.
There was a cry of surprise in his mouth, and then he said to himself in some surprise:
"Huh?"
"What's going on?"
After he finished speaking, he noticed that under the influence of the strange gravity erupted by the puppet guard just now.
At some point, his body retreated behind the thin circular red line.
"Does it mean that as long as you retreat behind the red thin line, these puppet guards will stop attacking?"
He subconsciously recalled that in these three levels, each time he crossed the thin circular red line, the puppet guards would be triggered to attack, and he muttered to himself in surprise.
But after thinking about it, he felt that the mechanism of directly pausing the battle was actually very reasonable.
After all, according to his and the green-clothed woman's speculation, this ancient ruins should be a secret trial realm built by an ancient force to hone their disciples.
In this case, in the trial level, set up a mechanism that can immediately suspend the trial once triggered.
It is also a matter of course to protect those disciples who are not strong enough to complete the challenge.
As soon as he thought of this, Gao Yuan became energetic instantly.
At this time, he had already realized from the thrilling blow just now that it was difficult for him to face the puppet guard head-on.
But this conclusion is based on the premise that he has almost no time to use dirty tricks to cause trouble.
If you can build on this foundation, add a mechanism that allows you to pause the trial at will.
Then he has too much room for control!
Not to mention anything else, in the storage bag on his body, there are those 'spherical battle puppets' equipped with an improved version of the ninth-level talisman that matches the late Hunyuan realm, excluding the one he temporarily scrapped for self-protection.
At this time, there are still nearly 300 of them.
In addition, there are still more than 500 old version of the 'Spherical Combat Puppet' that he has not had time to consume after refining it and has been relegated to the second line as a backup.
There are so many third-level puppets, even if they are stacked directly without any fancy, they may be able to kill many Hunyuan realm monks.
And as long as the arrangement is proper, Gao Yuan has enough confidence to kill the puppet guard opposite without harming himself!
"But before that, I still have to confirm my suspicion just now!"
While his mind was spinning, Gao Yuan was not in a hurry to take action.
While he was focusing his attention on the movements of the puppet guard opposite.
While retreating to the exit of the passage just now, holding the 'Advanced Crystallized Magic Core' in his hand, he used the large amount of 'spiritual energy' condensed by the latter regardless of consumption to rescue the 'Blue Sky Sword' and 'Shanlan' that had just been severely damaged.
Shield' two magic weapons.
Fortunately, the latter is a special treasure between reality and reality that is gradually built up from a large amount of "spiritual energy" surrounding the "True Seal Space".
Theoretically speaking, as long as the magic weapon is not directly defeated in the 'True Seal Space' when it encounters heavy damage, then as long as it can be replenished with a sufficient amount of 'spiritual energy', its repair speed will be very fast.
Although the "Shanlan Shield" resisted the attack of the giant sword just now, the "True Seal Space" inside it also suffered a certain degree of damage.
But after all, it was not defeated directly, under the double infusion of Gao Yuan's huge "spiritual energy" and pure "spiritual power".
It is certainly unrealistic to restore it to its original state in a short period of time, but if it is forced to activate regardless of the consequences, there is still no problem in allowing it to temporarily burst out with 70% to 80% of its usual power!
…
In the blink of an eye, more than four hours passed.
During this period, the puppet guard on the opposite side stayed in place and remained silent.
Gao Yuan's emergency repair of the 'Shanlan Shield' and 'Blue Sky Sword' finally came to an end after consuming twelve 'advanced crystallized magic cores'.
He returned to the circular red line again and began to try to conduct specific tests on the suspension mechanism of this secret trial realm.
It didn't take long for him to make corresponding protective preparations.
Then he stood there, took a deep breath, and instantly stepped across the thin red line on the ground in front of him.
Almost instantly, under his concentrated attention, the puppet guard opposite who had been silent for several hours suddenly started to move.
After all the light faded away, the dark blue giant sword in his hand returned to an ancient sword body. Countless strange azure lights and shadows from before suddenly appeared on the entire surface of the sword body.
At the same time, the extreme cold power that had pierced the bone marrow before enveloped Gao Yuan's body again.
Seeing this, the latter naturally did not dare to delay. In his body, countless "blood elements" and "spiritual power" burst out at the same time.
All kinds of movement skills wrapped around his body with all their strength, and he instantly retreated behind the thin red line he had just stepped over.
Almost instantly, under his intense gaze, what was originally a rapid flash had dragged out an afterimage several feet long behind him.
The puppet guard that was rushing towards him suddenly froze in place after completing a teleportation.
After a slight pause, the puppet guard turned around again, and in a few flashes returned to the area where it first appeared, and fell silent again.
"As expected!"
"There's a show!"
Gao Yuanyuan felt happy at this, and he couldn't hide the excitement on his face and let out a low drink.
But just to be on the safe side, he tried it twice again.
Especially in the last time, he was somewhat sure of the puppet guard's movement trajectory. He even deliberately waited in place for a breath or so while the puppet guard was rushing toward him.
It wasn't until the latter raised the giant sword that exploded with blue light in his hand high and struck at him that he immediately retreated and hid behind the red thin line!
…
The results of the subsequent three tests were exactly the same as the previous two.
No matter whether the puppet guard is teleporting on his way or has raised the giant sword in his hand and is preparing to attack.
As long as Gao Yuan can hide behind the red thin line in time, the puppet guard will immediately interrupt the current action without hesitation and return to the position where it originally appeared.
"It's done!"
After going through the test, the last trace of hesitation in Gao Yuan's heart disappeared.
While he continued to pay attention to the movements of the puppet guard opposite, he connected his hands in the storage bag hidden in his cuffs.
Following his movements, 'spherical combat puppets' emerged one after another in front of him.
Then, under the guidance of his spiritual consciousness, they all lined up neatly, crossed the thin red line on the ground one by one, and floated towards the puppet guard on the opposite side.
As Gao Yuan expected before, the 'spherical combat puppet', which is a dead object, cannot trigger the recognition mechanism of this level.
Not long after, the first batch of twenty 'spherical combat puppets' filled with third-level jade talismans, under the guidance of Gao Yuan, approached the puppet guard opposite.
During this period, the latter remained silent and motionless without any reaction.
Gao Yuan no longer hesitated. He directly issued the order to self-destruct to these arriving 'spherical combat puppets' through his spiritual consciousness.
Accompanied by huge roars, countless violent energy shocks were instantly intertwined.
In an instant, a huge ocean of energy was set off in this huge space.
And the puppet guard who was silent and motionless from beginning to end was naturally the center of this ocean of energy in the depths!
This violent ocean of energy raged for about a minute before it finally slowly subsided.
Gao Yuan saw this and quickly looked towards the opposite side impatiently.
However, the sight that caught his eye made his pupils suddenly shrink.
"Not...unscathed?"
"really?"
"How can this be?!"
"Although this batch of puppets are just the self-destructing versions that were eliminated before, the power of the thousands of third-level jade talismans inside twenty of them self-destructing at the same time is extremely terrifying."
"Even if that weird giant sword is somewhat special and is not afraid of the self-destruction attacks of these puppets, how could the body of this puppet guard be so strong!"
Looking at the figure on the opposite side that quietly appeared after the ocean of energy converged, Gao Yuan was so shocked that he couldn't help but scream strangely.
Then, with some disbelief, he once again deployed thirty 'self-exploding spherical combat puppets' and surrounded the puppet guards on the opposite side.
A moment later, an energy shock even more exaggerated than the previous explosion erupted again.
Swept by countless violent energy tides, even thousands of meters away, one can feel the violent aftermath caused by the latter.
When these puppets flew out, Gaoyuan's spiritual consciousness also radiated out.
And after the latter self-destructed, he carefully observed the specific reaction of the puppet guard in the process.
However, the result this time was exactly the same as before. After the energy ocean disappeared, the figure of the puppet guard was still intact and came into view.
However, at the expense of more than half of his consciousness being consumed by the erosion of the energy ocean, he finally discovered something unusual.
This is not to say that he discovered this puppet guard and displayed any extraordinary abilities.
But during the entire process, his consciousness did not perceive the existence of this puppet guard at all.
Even though the energy shock caused by the self-destruction of the 'spherical combat puppet' had completely subsided, even the puppet guard on the opposite side was clearly reflected in his eyes.
But through his own consciousness, he still could not sense the slightest existence of the latter.
"This makes no sense. When we fought for the first time just now, my consciousness could clearly sense the opponent!"
"Is it some kind of advanced virtualization ability?"
He secretly guessed in his heart, and then after a brief preparation, he went straight to verify it.
His body flashed and he once again crossed the circular red line in front of him. At the moment when the puppet guard on the opposite side quickly flashed out, he quickly hid behind the thin red line.
"Yes!"
"I see!"
Gao Yuan said to himself with a look of surprise on his face.
Under the perception of the consciousness that has been radiating outside this time, the moment he crossed the red thin line and the puppet guard on the opposite side moved with it, he immediately sensed the latter's existence.
And after he hid behind the red thin line, and before the puppet guard returned to its original position, during this period of time, he could sense the latter's existence through his spiritual consciousness!
"This way, it will be much easier to handle!"
Gao Yuan huddled behind the red thin line and quickly figured out the joints.
Then he took action quickly.
Under the guidance of his spiritual consciousness, hundreds of 'spherical combat puppets' densely filled the gap between him and the puppet guard.
There were another thirty new versions of the puppets among them. Under his guidance, each took out a third-level talisman and suspended it in mid-air to stand by.
After everything was ready, Gao Yuan mobilized all his defensive methods with all his strength and instantly crossed the thin red line on the ground.
At the same time, the puppet guard on the opposite side also moved.
I saw the latter constantly breaking through the many 'spherical battle puppets' blocking the way, and rushing towards Gaoyuan with the giant sword flashing.
Every time it teleports to the ground, an endless tide of energy set off by dozens of 'spherical combat puppets' that have been detonated in advance will sweep towards it.
Under the raging sea of violent energy, the blue light and shadow radiated by the puppet guard and the giant sword in his hand began to vibrate violently in an instant.
As the number of active detonations increased, Gao Yuan's prediction of where the puppet guard would teleport each time became more accurate.
Accompanied by energy tides that were approaching self-destruction, the puppet guard became more and more reluctant as it rushed towards Gaoyuan.
And after he finally crossed half the distance, the invisible binding force projected by the 120 third-level talismans activated by the thirty 'spherical battle puppets' suspended in mid-air.
, the cover instantly fell on the puppet guard.
Affected by this, the latter's movement speed suddenly dropped sharply. Although it was still teleporting, the distance it moved each time was only a few meters.
Gao Yuan, who was on the opposite side, naturally would not miss this opportunity. Under his guidance, the remaining "spherical battle puppets" swarmed around the puppet guard like piranhas who found food.
During this period, the sound of dense energy explosions continued for a moment, and huge waves of energy swept up one after another, causing huge impacts even thousands of meters away.
But this time he didn't take a step back, he just stood there and tried to support it, because under his perception regardless of the consumption of his spiritual consciousness, the aura of the puppet still existed!
…
After a few minutes, the endless energy wave finally slowly dissipated.
In the middle of the ocean of energy just now, the figure of the puppet guard appeared again.
The latter's body was extremely damaged and covered with cracks. From time to time, inexplicable black smoke escaped from the cracks on its body surface.
Next to his body, the surface of the strangely shaped giant sword was also covered with radial cracks, and seven or eight fist-sized gaps were exposed on its blade.
The puppet guard struggled to shake on the spot a few times, and finally fell to pieces on the ground.
"Huh~!"
"I finally killed him!"
"Is this thing really something that a Hunyuan realm monk can fight against?"
"What kind of Hunyuan Realm monk can withstand the serial self-destruction of nearly seven hundred 'spherical combat puppets'!"
Gao Yuan glanced at the remaining puppets on the opposite side from the corner of his eye, and Gao Yuan muttered a few words in shock.
Then, as if he remembered something, a smile appeared on his face and he said:
"What would be the reaction of the builder of this secret trial realm if he learned that today, who knows how many years later, the puppet guarding the last level was destroyed by me using the puppet to self-destruct?"
"When he is speechless, will he jump to scolding 'despicable future generations'?"
As his mind turned, Gao Yuan's gaze turned and looked further across.
At this time, after the puppet guard fell to the ground, a huge platform shrouded in countless blue lights and shadows gradually appeared!
