The great battle continued.
Chu Yun had fought continuously for three days and three nights straight, but when he looked around, he could still see dense groups of demon beasts everywhere.
Three days of fierce battles, and they were all fighting with all their might. If it were any other martial artist, they would probably be too tired to even stand up.
However, Chu Yun's vitality was like a dragon's and his aura was very long, so he did not seem to be exhausted at all.
His punches were still as powerful as before, and his battle prowess was still as strong as ever!
"Kill!"
Accompanied by a loud shout, a black light suddenly appeared and beheaded more than ten surrounding demon beasts without any warning.
The estate-world blade had finally been unleashed!
Chu Yun held onto his heavenly blade, with an excited expression on his face, his eyes brimming with endless fighting spirit. Instead of retreating, he advanced, and took the initiative to pounce towards the herd of demon beasts.
"Swish!"
Chu Yun's speed was extremely fast. After he charged into the demonic beast horde, he was like a whirlwind as he continuously harvested the life of the demonic beast.
There was no rising sun or setting moon in the Wasteland, so Chu Yun had no way of accurately judging how long he had been inside.
If he felt it was right, he had been here for seven days.
This also meant that he had been continuously killing for seven days!
Even for Chu Yun who had an inexhaustible strength, the speed at which he brandished his blade had slowed down. His entire body was drenched in blood, as though he was a blood man.
"You've already reached my limit?"
Chu Yun was a little unresigned. It had only been seven days, is this all I have?
It's not enough, this is far from enough!
Chu Yun's requirements for himself were extremely high, and a limit that ordinary people would not be able to reach, was not even considered as a goal for him.
He knew that he had too many potential points that he had yet to fully unleash.
The slaughter continued!
Following the decrease in the speed of his attacks, the injuries on Chu Yun's body increased, and all sorts of pain and suffering filled his mind.
The killing intent was initially just the size of a fingernail, but after being expanded and expanded, it had actually grown ten times bigger, firmly entrenched in his mind, and deeply rooted.
"Chi!"
The heavenly blade slashed across the demon beast's neck, killing it until it fell to the ground.
At the same time, Chu Yun felt an incredible pleasure rising from his heart.
This pleasure was not intense, but it was like a voice that kept on seducing in Chu Yun's ears: Killing a demon beast is nothing, killing a person is the true happiness! There was no need to restrict his own nature. He had to kill to his heart's content! Kill all the people you dislike, this world is yours, you have to use your blood to defend it!
Very quickly, Chu Yun felt that his mind was a blur, when he opened his eyes again, the world in front of him had turned blood-red, and other than that, there were no other colours.
"Kill!"
Chu Yun was like a wild beast, his entire body was filled with evil Qi, after he mumbled a few words, he pounced ferociously at the beasts in front of him.
"Chi!" "Chi!" "Swish!"
He hacked a demonic beast to death with a single saber strike. His movements were coordinated without the slightest hesitation.
It was as if his strength had been restored to its peak!
The more beasts he killed, the redder Chu Yun's eyes became, and the heavier his breathing became.
It was like a cycle.
Boundless baleful aura was released, and it shot up into the sky. Chu Yun seemed to have really turned into a ferocious beast who only knew how to kill, as his consciousness was being slowly worn down by the desire to kill.
When the last trace of clarity was also swallowed by the killing intent, Chu Yun then completely lost consciousness, and became a beast that relied on killing to survive.
When the killing intent expanded to an astonishing degree, it started to rush towards the depths of Chu Yun's soul. It wanted to completely control Chu Yun's body, and swallow him up along with his consciousness and soul.
However, the moment the killing intent touched Chu Yun's soul, an ice-cold Qi suddenly surged, and with an inconceivable speed, it spread throughout Chu Yun's body.
The coldness was bone-chilling, and every hair on his body stood on end.
Chu Yun's entire body was quickly frozen, the fresh blood solidified, in a few seconds, he had lost all ability to move, and became a crystal clear ice sculpture.
The deep blue light washed over Chu Yun's body again and again, expelling all the killing intent in his mind.
In those scarlet eyes, there was a flash of clarity, following that, Chu Yun trembled from head to toe, greatly shocked.
"Just now …. What's going on? "
Chu Yun did not dare to reflect on the feeling he had before, he only knew that he had completely lost control of himself. If not for the Frigid Marrow Soul Suppressing Grass stopping his killing intent from invading his soul, he might really have turned into a zombie!
"Is this the feeling of being dominated by killing intent?"
Chu Yun took a deep breath, and shattered the ice crystals on the surface of his skin.
After so many days of killing, he was full of hostility and restlessness, which resulted in killing intent growing in the bottom of his heart.
The more he killed, the more his killing intent rose until it reached a point where it affected his mind.
Chapter 165 - Fighting against yourself
In that instant, Chu Yun's mind thought of many things.
Why were there so many people in this world who relied on killing to survive? It was because they could not overcome the killing intent in their hearts and were completely dominated.
For the sake of pleasure, they killed people everywhere. They wished that they could become enemies with the world.
Those kinds of people could no longer be called human. The word 'monster' suited them more.
He had nearly become such a monster earlier.
Fortunately, the Frigid Marrow Soul Calming Grass had shown its effects in time!
Combining with Ye Xuan's words, the Dragon Seizing Sect could not only train the body, it could also temper the mind. It had a total of three tests.
Could it be that this continuous slaughter waest to him? The first stage?
Looking around, there were a lot of demonic beasts and there was an unending number of them.
He had been fighting continuously for seven days and killed thousands of demon beasts, but the number of demon beasts around him had not decreased at all. This was definitely not a normal phenomenon.
Very quickly, a bold idea appeared in his mind.
It was very possible that these demon beasts were all illusions. The purpose of their existence was to train one's mental state.
In other words, this killing intent was the devil in his heart. Previously, he had almost been possessed by the devil in his heart, but now he had successfully stepped out of it. Was this considered having passed the test?
Once his thoughts became clear, it became uncontrollable. Chu Yun only felt his mood was extremely good, as if he was drinking nectar comfortably.
After experiencing the fear of being dominated by killing intent, as long as he paid more attention, such a situation would never happen again. Wasn't this an improvement for him?
"Hahahaha, if this is the content of the first trial, then I have already passed!"
Chu Yun laughed towards the sky.
As Chu Yun's words fell, the bodies of all the beasts turned illusory, and finally disappeared.
The huge wasteland had suddenly changed into a spacious room that waundred meters in radi
us.
At the far end of the room stood a humanoid puppet. It had no face, no appearance, and no grandeur. It was as quiet as a clay sculpture.
"This is the second stage?"
Chu Yun had a smile on his face, although he was lucky to have passed the first round, but he had finally passed.
Now, he had to use all of his strength to face the second stage of the trial!
"It seems that you are my opponent now. What is the content of the second test? Will I defeat you?"
Chu Yun looked at the puppet 100 meters away and smiled.
However, the puppet did not react at all. It remained indifferent to Chu Yun's words.
"No matter what it is, I'm definitely going to pass this stage!"
Chu Yun gave a long roar as he rose into the air. The aura in his palm surged as it transformed into a supreme palm image. With a might that could shake the heavens and earth, it pressed down from the sky.
"Hand of the Flipping Cloud!"
The puppet suddenly moved, facing Chu Yun's ferocious palm, it did not dodge, but similarly, unleashed an endless amount of force with its palm, clashing into Chu Yun.
"Why do I feel a little familiar …."
Chu Yun looked at the palm the puppet was slapping towards him, and muttered in his heart, the movements of the puppet, its moves, they were all exactly the same as himself.
But then, he was amused by his own thoughts. What a joke, could it be that this puppet knew Hand of the Flipping Cloud s?
"Boom!"
Endless power was emitted from the two palms, and after they collided, a world-shaking explosion was produced.
Chu Yun felt his arm go numb, as if it was going to break. He took a few steps back consecutively.
The puppet in front of it was the same, but surprisingly, the speed and frequency of its retreat was exactly the same as Chu Yun's.
Chu Yun's expression changed drastically as shock flashed past his eyes. "This puppet, why does it also know Hand of the Flipping Cloud?"
Hand of the Flipping Cloud was not a very strong martial skill, and even the creator Xu Tianyun had only raised it trecious treasure.
If other people were proficient in Hand of the Flipping Cloud, Chu Yun would not find it strange at all.
But what was strange was that the puppet did not use the original version of the Hand of the Flipping Cloud, but rather a Hand of the Flipping Cloud that he had personally comprehended and mainly used its power!
His Hand of the Flipping Cloud had never been taught to anyone, and even the wise Great Sage couldn't learn it. How could a mere puppet learn it?
In the next second, something that made Chu Yun even more dumbstruck happened.
The expressionless puppet's face actually underwent a slight change. After a few seconds, it had completely transformed intuman.
The most important thing was, this puppet actually became exactly like him, as if it was carved out of the same mold.
Whether it was height, appearance, or aura, they were all the same. The only difference was that its expression was a bit sluggish, and its pupils didn't have the slightest trace of spirit energy.
"Damn, I can't even tell myself."
Chu Yun was somewhat emotional. He looked at the puppet in front of him, like he was looking at himself in a mirror. It was hard to imagine that there would actually be such a method.
If this puppet were to leave the Dragon Gate and travel through the outside world, perhaps even the people closest to it might not be able to tell which one was real and which was fake.
At this time, Chu Yun suddenly thought of an advertisement on Earth in his previous life — "Someone is imitating my face"?
"But it doesn't matter. So what if you become my appearance?"
Chu Yun sneered. He had already guessed that the second stage of the trial would not be easy. Puppets with the same appearance as him were really interesting.
If that's the case, then let's have a good fight!
Chu Yun took a step forward, and fiercely clashed against it. The puppet used the same move, and fiercely clashed against it.
"Boom!"
The two of them bumped into each other as both of their hands grabbed each other. Veins popped out on their foreheads as the muscles on their bodies bulged. They were competing against each other's strength.
A few seconds later, Chu Yun realized in shock that the powerful strength that he was so proud of did not take advantage of anything. The power of the puppet seemed to be exactly the same as his.
What would be the consequences if two perfectly equal forces collided?
There was no need to think at all. This was definitely going to be a lose-lose situation for both of them!
"Can you keep up with my speed?"
Chu Yun roared, he raised his elbow and struck the puppet's chest, but before he could react, the puppet's fist had also landed on Chu Yun's body with the same amount of force.
"Boom boom boom!"
Chu Yun clenched his teeth, the energy in his body exploding continuously, his fists striking out crazily, continuously exploding and surrounding the puppet.
"This series of explosive outbursts, even if you have the ability, why don't you imitate it for me!"
Chu Yun laughed coldly, but very quickly he stopped laughing. The puppet also released a series of explosions, and when the two explosions collided, it produced deafening booms.
"You can even do that?"
Chu Yun's pupils contracted, as he became somewhat at a loss for a moment.
When he stopped moving, the puppet stopped too.
"Secret Faction Great Palm, can you learn this?"
Both of Chu Yun's hands quickly formed a seal in front of his chest, and the surging power erupted out likorrential river without end, continuously swatting at the air.
In its hands, the Inverted Ocean Seal was not weak in the slightest, as it actually clashed with the force released by Chu Yun, striking against each other.
"Damn you!"
Chu Yun punched out witunch that seemed to have an ordinary trajectory, but contained a monstrous strength that caused the air to sizzle with shock.
The fist landed on the puppet's face, but the puppet's fist also hit Chu Yun's face.
Having received suceavy blow, intense pain struck him. Chu Yun was still unwilling to give up, he gritted his teeth and kicked his knee, but right at that moment, the knee of the puppet collided with his own.
It was the result of both of them being injured again.
"Damn it, what should we do?"
Chu Yun was anxious, facing such a situation, even though he had a lot of battle experience, he still found it difficult.
This kind of training was clearly making things difficult for him!
No matter what move you used or how powerful your opponent was, they would all respond with the same move, the same power, no more, no less.
No matter how profound your control was, how powerful your martial arts were, or how swift your movement techniques were, they were all useless!
Your strength will become the opponent's strength. Your weakness, will also become the opponent's weakness.
"Buzz!"
The void trembled as the heavenly blade condensed in his hand. Chu Yun's eyes became ice-cold as he enunciated word by word: "You can imitate my martial arts, can you imitate my strength and speed?
On the other side, the golem was wielding a treasured blade that looked similar tstate-world's blade.
"Heaven and Earth Destiny True Dragon Strike!"
Chu Yun growled, his gaze suddenly becoming wild, the heavenly blade in his hand turned intrue dragon, rushing towards the puppet in a grandiose manner!
This was another move from the Berserk Dragon Blade Art.
The Puppet used the same move and rushed towards Chu Yun. In terms of power, it did not lose out in the slightest.
He could even imitate the Berserk Dragon Blade Art!
"He's just a fake. Let's see who will have the last laugh!
"
Chu Yun did not dodge, with determination in his eyes, he accurately controlled the True Dragon to pierce through the puppet's abdomen.
The True Dragon controlled by the puppet also pierced through Chu Yun's lower abdomen at an incredible speed. With two hits in place at the same time, it simply did not have the space to dodge.
As the pain came, Chu Yun's expression changed greatly. Sweat trickled down his forehead, and his body became stiff.
The power of this Heaven and Earth Destiny True Dragon Strike of the golem was exactly the same as his!
In other words, the more damage the puppet suffered, the more damage he would suffer.
"Pfft!"
Chu Yun spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning pale white.
Very few people could injure him so badly!
The last time he was seriously injured was when he was almost strangled to death by Senior Qi.
Chu Yun consecutively took a few steps back. The hand that was holding onto the heavenly blade slightly trembled, and he continuously pondered in his heart.
Since this warial, it meant that there was definitely a way to pass. No one would take a difficult problem without an answer and let others do it.
Since there was an answer, then what was the answer?
Suddenly, Chu Yun's mind shivered, if the puppet could imitate the Berserk Dragon Blade Art, then what about the blade intent?
No matter how strong this puppet was, it was impossible for it to comprehend Saber Intent like him, right?
Chapter 166 - Breaking through the Self
"Swish!"
Chu Yun fiercely threw the heavenly blade out, the sharp blade edge splitting the space and releasing an intense Qi.
Sure enough, the puppet opposite of him also started to imitate him, and threw the black dagger in his hand over. He used a lot of strength, it was exactly the same as Chu Yun.
Chu Yun sneered, and then very nimbly dodged to the side, allowing the black treasured blade to whizze past beside his ear.
Without question, the golem also dodged.
But at this time, a change suddenly occurred. Chu Yun's eyes flashed with a bright light, and he whispered: "This move, can you do it?"
