Bai Luo left the Crystal Valley with his "repaired" sword. Although he was still upset about losing the magic shield, the repaired "blood river" finally gave him some compensation and psychological comfort. Of course, due to the undercover
Yes, someone's sinister intentions will not be exposed yet, so it will take some time for "Blood River" to return to its glory and die.
Bai Luo's appearance confirmed Chen Rui's suspicion. Whether it was a magic shield or a river of blood, these tricks were just trivial. What we really needed to think about was how to weaken the power of the Crystal Valley or even create and expand internal cracks.
, when the internal and external forces work together, they will naturally be able to succeed in one fell swoop. Not only that, Chen Rui will also try to rescue Jia's mother and remove the spiritual shackles of their mother and daughter.
Jiya's mother is called Freya. She was originally in the stronghold of Bloodthorn City. A few years ago, she was brought to the Devouring Hall of Crystal Valley by Sapulina and suffered a lot of torture. This time, she was accidentally killed by Sapulina's nemesis.
, that is, Azgalo’s other wife, Izola, was taken away and has not returned yet.
The performance of "repairing" Blood River and upgrading it to a level close to legendary equipment allowed Manu to see Chen Rui's "strength", and he valued it more. However, there were many important things outside that required Manu, so he did not
How long did he stay in Crystal Valley? He left the next day after Bai Luo left.
During this period, except for going to the Crystal Dragon's magic circles from time to time, Chen Rui spent most of his time behind closed doors. This was also a "common problem" among many tool-making masters.
However, Chen Rui was not immersed in the "enlightenment" artifact magic shield all day long as outsiders imagined, and he devoted all his thoughts to the cultivation of the Dharma realm.
In fact, during the days when he was in the Custer family, Chen Rui often tried to practice the Dharma realm. However, although that kind of "world" is really incomparable and right around him, it is actually illusory. I don't know where to start practicing, and the experience value is still
is zero.
The promotion of the super system is very strange. It does not calculate the experience based entirely on the strength level, but based on the current training elements. Even if the strength of a single system reaches the level of the Demon King, it still cannot break through to the next level. The previous body training, training
There are still traces of strength and so on, but it is a bit mysterious when it comes to refining the mind. Now this "method" of refining gives him the feeling of being unable to bite a hedgehog.
Using Kaio fruits seems to be the only possible shortcut. Anyway, the longest shelf life of Kaio fruits is only three months. It has been more than a month now, and it will automatically wither and disappear if you don't try it.
The Kaio Fruit is not a real fruit, but the essence born from the Aurora Black Ice. After taking it, it can produce hallucination-like induction that corresponds to the soul. It can derive a special spiritual imprint according to the consciousness of the person who takes it. The person who takes it can
absorbed.
This kind of spiritual imprint is the feeling of "domain". Of course, this type of domain is only a primary level domain, that is, a pseudo domain controlled by the Demon King level. However, the pseudo domain is the basis of the real domain, and it is also the basis for the strong and powerful Demon King.
The biggest watershed for the Demon King.
The power gap between the Great Demon King level is actually very large. Although some people have reached the Demon King level in terms of strength, but they have not mastered the power of the domain, they will always be just the Great Demon King and cannot be called Demon King.
There is a huge difference in strength between the "pseudo demon emperor" who has not mastered the power of the domain and the real demon emperor. This is a qualitative gap.
In the same way, if you understand the power of the Dharma Realm, you should be unmatched by the Demon Emperor. If you fully master the power of the Dharma Realm, you may be able to compete with the Demon Emperor in the first stage.
It's just that the power of the Kaio Fruit is too powerful, and you need to be at the Demon King level or above to withstand it. I don't know if the two modes of "Star Devouring" and "Star Transformation" can be used.
Chen Rui took out the Kaio Fruit. The fruit's appearance was exquisite, like a flawless crystal work of art, and it also exuded a faint fragrance. It shouldn't be like eating glass... He raised his head and swallowed the fruit.
Go down.
The Kaio Fruit is a rare treasure produced in an extremely cold environment like the Aurora Black Ice. It feels cold when touched in the hand, but when it enters the stomach, it starts to spread rapidly throughout the body like a fire.
Chen Rui felt an unbearable severe pain as the fire began to attack various parts of his body. The muscles all over his body began to swell and twist. He could no longer maintain the cross-sitting posture and fell to the ground, trembling all over.
He tried his best to resist this uncomfortable feeling. Fortunately, he had set up a corresponding magic circle near the laboratory, and strictly ordered anyone to enter and disturb, and no sound or movement would be spread.
That fiery feeling was dozens of times stronger than the blazing volcano in the training ground. Chen Rui felt that his bones and flesh were about to be vaporized, and his brain began to swell, and it had increased several times in size in an instant.
It seemed as if it was about to burst. The pain was real, but this expansion was actually an illusion. Since the Kaio Fruit could only be taken at the Demon King level, Chen Rui's real strength was only at the level of the Great Demon King, so he could not bear this.
The trouble is, the originally expected prompts of eating stars and transforming stars did not appear, and there was no prompt to convert into spiritual energy.
At this moment, an inexplicable force surged up in his body, gradually weakening the feeling of swelling to the point of bursting. This force came from the strengthening power of Manu's spiritual shackles, even though it was only a thousandth of the Demon Emperor level.
One, but they are extremely pure power, both in quality and quantity, far superior to Chen Rui's current level. It cannot be fully digested for a while, but it comes in handy at this time.
Under the dissolution and buffering of this power, Chen Rui's body gradually returned to normal, Manu's power was also quickly broken down and integrated into his body, and most importantly, the effect of the Kaio Fruit began to play out.
Chen Rui's vision and consciousness gradually blurred. When he tried his best to regain consciousness, he found that the scenery in front of him had completely changed, and it was a familiar scene that he had not seen for a long time.
The road is covered with dust, there are noisy car horns, there are cars parked everywhere, and there are people going back and forth. There are two girls in front of them eating sugar cane while walking, and behind them there is the residue of sugar cane. It is a very familiar small town, backward,
It's messy, but it's his hometown after all.
Did he travel back in time again?
What about Athena and the others? What about Pagliu and the others? That world has become his real bond, and this originally familiar world feels strange.
Chen Rui looked at the mobile phone in his hand. It was an unbranded knockoff with a camera. It looked familiar to him. Isn't this the same phone that had the super system back in the day?
Although there is no constant threat to life here, nor is there a precarious settlement like Darkmoon City or a dangerous and terrifying enemy lair like Crystal Valley, he must go back.
Chen Rui immediately pressed and held the power switch of the copycat phone, but a picture of a celebrity's face appeared, and a voice that he thought was very magnetic came from, "Welcome to use xxx brand mobile phone!"
What's going on? It's not a super system?
Chen Rui vaguely remembered that he had taken Kaio Fruit and then came here. Could it be that this was an illusion? But everything was so realistic. He couldn't help but walk all the way towards the old neighborhood where his grandfather lived, but it had become a demolition site.
area.
Chen Rui walked aimlessly on the street, stood and sat down. Originally this was the most familiar world, but now he seemed to be an outsider, isolated in the constant flow of people around him.
Once upon a time, when he was young, he also felt like this.
We feel that time stands still and what passes by is ourselves. Facing every passerby with a pale smile, we are actually the real passersby.
Just lonely.
It's like a passerby on horseback, trudging alone in the desert destined to have no end. Maybe one day, if he falls, it will be the end.
It's just loneliness, that's all.
Like a kite with its string broken, it seems to be soaring carefree in the sky, but how long can this kind of free life last?
Just loneliness, that's all.
Chen Rui suddenly felt that someone was watching him. He turned around and saw a man sitting at the bus stop behind him with a strange smile.
Chen Rui was shocked. The appearance of this man... was that of himself. No, the evil eyes and smile... were exactly the inner demon that had been slain in Lian Xin, or it could be called - Shura!
"Surprised to see me?" Shura's voice rang in his ears, and the surrounding noise was suppressed. "I said, as long as the darkness in your heart still exists, I will never disappear."
Chen Rui had calmed down. After successfully passing the heart-refining test, he had complete confidence and certainty to deal with Shura. He looked at the once most dangerous enemy calmly: "Did you create this illusion?"
Shura shook his head: "This is not an illusion, but the world in your memory. Look there..."
When Chen Rui turned his head, he heard calls for help. A woman shouted "robbery", and a man in front of him grabbed a bag and ran away. People along the way gave way, and no one helped.
Chen Rui and the man were face to face, approaching, and punched him like lightning. Unexpectedly, they passed each other at the moment of contact. The man continued to run forward unaffected, and the woman behind him was out of breath.
After catching his breath, he saw the robber running further and further away.
Chen Rui was startled and tried to touch the pillar on the side. Sure enough, he passed through it again. Is the world all an illusion, or... is he the only one who is an illusion?
Not far away, an old man in his 60s accidentally fell to the ground. He couldn't get up for a long time, and passers-by turned a blind eye. A child wanted to help him, but his mother grabbed him and scolded him loudly:
"I can't afford to pay" or something like that, Chen Rui ran over to help him, but they also passed each other.
The surrounding characters and events are constantly changing. A second-generation official hits someone with a luxury car. Countless people watch as a young man falls into the water and no one comes to rescue him. Officials squander the relief funds of poor students in the name of training. The principal gets a female teacher drunk to help the officials and humiliates them.
, all kinds of poisonous food and drugs manufactured for profit are harmful to others and themselves... These are just the beginning, and then scenes of increasingly darker scenes appear in front of him. Chen Rui is extremely angry when he sees it, but he can only be a bystander at the moment.
, watching these injustices and crimes happen.
"Although this world is not the demon world, it is more interesting than the demon world," Chen Rui's emotional fluctuations fell into Shura's eyes, and his smile became even weirder: "Dark, cold, selfish, ruthless... In the end, only naked desire is left."
This was indeed not a fantasy, but the real world in his memory. Chen Rui was speechless for a moment.
Shura said desperately: "Perhaps there are still some stupid people who burn themselves to warm and illuminate others, but what's the use? After burning out, they will only become a puddle of cold ashes, and will be burned by those indifferent people.
Trampled to pieces."
Chen Rui remained silent. At this time, the surrounding environment, including the sun in the sky, lost its color, like a black and white movie, and everything became dim.
Shura stood up, approached him step by step, and stretched out his hand: "Obey the desire in your heart and accept my fusion. It is not occupation, but fusion. You will gain extremely powerful power, whether it is this world or another world.
, will be above everyone else, like a superior god, able to possess, distort, play with or destroy everything at will."
