"When will he wake up?" Wu Xiaode asked.
"I don't know, it might take some time. I suggest you place him somewhere safe," the Angel said.
Wu Xiaode reached out and flicked his hand, opening the Void.
The middle-aged uncle slid directly into a parallel world of the Primordial World.
Since the kind father thought he was worth saving, there shouldn't be any mistake.
Besides.
I used his Sand Flag to do many things, so I owe him this favor.
"Quick! Run away!"
The Angel urged.
"Run?" Wu Xiaode asked in astonishment.
"Right now, you're the target of everyone; they all want to eliminate you and have this section of the Bronze Pillar recognize a new master!"
The Angel anxiously opened a portal and dragged him towards it.
Wu Xiaode held him back, looking into the Void and said, "Wait a minute, I see a prompt saying if I run away now, I'll lose my qualification as a combatant."
The Angel immediately said, "'Time' has already been rescued by you, you can't hold onto this section of the Bronze Pillar, survival is the most important!"
"...Can't hold onto it?"
"Of course, endless Evil Demons—damn, they're here!"
Before the voice fell.
The portal was forcibly closed.
Surrounding the Void, numerous vague black shadows suddenly appeared.
"It's ours,"
a strange voice whispered.
"That's it." The Angel hopelessly hung his head.
Wu Xiaode just stood there, his expression unchanged, and he spoke:
"Clearly it was me who discovered it and was recognized as the master, when did it become yours?"
"Die," the voice said.
All the vague black shadows raised their hands, pointing at Wu Xiaode.
Wu Xiaode didn't dodge or move; he simply crossed his arms and continued cursing:
"A bunch of trash, shameless bastards."
Then terrifying half-human-size shadows appeared in the Void, circled around Wu Xiaode a few times, and quickly dissipated.
Wu Xiaode was unharmed.
The Angel was stunned.
The unknown Evil Demon was also taken aback.
"Idiots."
Wu Xiaode grinned, pulled out a chair, and sat down in front of the Bronze Pillar.
The Void displayed two lines of prompt runes:
"The current target is in a duel; any existence that interferes with the duel must immediately accept punishment:"
"Fall two worlds, restart world testing."
An invisible force pulled with full strength, instantly grabbing the vague black shadows and launching them into the clouds, their destination unknown.
Only the Angel and Wu Xiaode remained at the scene.
The Angel slowly turned his head, looking at the U-level Evil Demon sealed in the Bronze Pillar.
"You anticipated this, didn't you?"
The Angel asked.
"Isn't that obvious? Otherwise, would I dare stand here?" Wu Xiaode said.
He too looked at the Bronze Pillar, staring at the shadow inside and said:
"Death means nothing to Evil Demons, so even if this U-level Evil Demon dies, my duel with it won't end."
"What if it admits defeat?" The Angel asked.
"This section of the Bronze Pillar is called the 'Instant Death Sealing Pillar,' and it has sealing capabilities,"
Wu Xiaode smiled and continued:
"It's sealed inside, unable to do anything, and unaware of the situation outside, so it won't admit defeat."
The Angel froze.
He was in a duel—
No one should interrupt a duel; otherwise, they'll receive punishment from the rules.
Doesn't that make him invincible?
No.
Not invincible.
It's just that until the duel ends, no one can attack him.
Damn.
The previously flawless battlefield rules, turned out to have such a BUG!
No.
Not a BUG.
It's because this kid endowed the Bronze Pillar with the "sealing" ability, which caused the BUG.
—He created this BUG!
The Angel looked at Wu Xiaode again, pondering, "But if you're in a duel, how will you handle the subsequent arena upgrade?"
"I can't enter the arena if I'm in a duel?" Wu Xiaode asked.
"Exactly, you've already been through a battle, you know that once you enter, you'll face various combats—when you're in a duel, you can't enter the arena," the Angel said.
"That's easy to handle, I do need to upgrade my power now, let's get on with it." Wu Xiaode said.
"What about the duel—"
"It's fine, initiate the teleport."
"Alright, as long as you're aware of it."
The Angel slapped him on the back.
Wu Xiaode instantly disappeared, only to reappear on a broad arena.
Seven or eight combatants were already standing here.
An icy mechanical voice sounded:
"Countdown ten seconds, battle commences immediately."
"10,"
"9,"
"8,"
"..."
Wu Xiaode was in a daze for a while.
When the mechanical voice counted down to "0," he slowly spoke:
"Lift the seal on the U-level Evil Demon Yan."
Before the voice fell, a combatant rushed at Wu Xiaode.
The battle began!
Yet such a level of combat, wouldn't it be too easy for Wu Xiaode?
He didn't even need any special skills, merely using his hands to engage, block, charge, and with a single punch, he sent the opponent flying.
Unremarkable battle lasted a short time.
The end.
"Three individuals have passed!"
"They are Wu Xiaode, Cao Cheng, and Fan Desa."
"You can gain the final tier of power from the First Realm through the Holy Pillar and ascend to the Second Realm!"
The transmission begins.
Wu Xiaode's figure flickers, returning to the Bronze Holy Pillar.
As soon as he appeared, he immediately said:
"Seal the U-level Evil Demon Yan."
In midair, a shadow had just swooped down, only to be gripped by an invisible force and thrust back into the Bronze pillar, sealing it once more.
Wu Xiaode hummed a song as he placed his hand on the Bronze pillar, beginning to receive the power of the final tier of the First Realm from the Holy Pillar.
"There are many Evil Demons, why aren't you anxious at all?" the Angel asked.
Wu Xiaode replied, "After all this time interacting, I suddenly realized something."
"The entire Evil Demon horde is an unsolvable presence—even with Gu Qingshan and Liu Ping, no matter how many you kill, they'd never end. They will continue to emerge, won't they?"
The Angel sighed and nodded.
Wu Xiaode turned his head towards the Void.
The Evil Spirit Book opened.
Line upon line of bronze small letters appeared:
"Your power has increased by one tier."
"The Holy Realm's power at this tier along with the Evil Skill has been infused and merged into your abilities, yet hasn't reached the level of evolution."
"Please continue to absorb more power to achieve skill evolution."
The letters flashed and disappeared.
After reading, Wu Xiaode continued:
"Since they are unsolvable, I too must think of unsolvable methods to deal with them."
"Luckily, the direction of my skill fusion obeys my inner wishes."
"Then let's try, see who's more of a bug."
As soon as his words fell.
A black silhouette suddenly appeared in the sky.
U-level Evil Demon Yan!
"You... sealed me?" It asked, incredulous.
"That's right, but now you're free again. Do you still want a duel?" Wu Xiaode asked.
He suddenly grinned and said:
"Or perhaps you want to find a helper?"
In the sky, one figure after another appeared.
——All were Evil Demons.
All the Evil Demons looked down at Wu Xiaode, assessing his strength.
"Just at the entry-level of the Second Realm."
"Yes, if we all attack, he'll die immediately."
"It's simple, but if we all attack, it might seem like we're afraid of him."
"Actually, Yan alone can kill him."
"See what Yan says."
The Evil Demons quickly communicated.
Yan was silent for a few breaths before suddenly bursting into a sharp laugh:
"Do you think I'll duel with you again and let you seal me to avoid attacks from other Evil Demons?"
"Dream on!"
"——All attack, kill him in one strike!"
Wu Xiaode remained calm, taking a step back and leaning against the Bronze pillar, saying:
"Seal——"
"This avatar of mine."
As soon as his words fell, a massive pulling force emerged from the Bronze pillar.
His body was pulled through the Bronze pillar, becoming a corpse, sealed within the pillar.
The Evil Demons all paused in shock.
They had been through countless battles, possessing bizarre and powerful Evil Skills, fearing no enemies.
But——
The enemy took himself out, sealing himself away.
How could they fight this?
… No, there was no need to fight at all.
But why did he do this?
Was he scared?
After a long while, the U-level Evil Demon Yan finally spoke:
"Let's go down and see if we can capture this section of the Bronze pillar."
The Evil Demons descended, surrounding the Bronze pillar.
The Angel had long fled.
——The Evil Demons could have killed him, but the most important thing now was to contaminate this section of the Bronze pillar and deal with this bizarre situation.
A small Angel was simply unimportant.
"To let the Evil power penetrate this hidden Holy Pillar requires considerable effort, needing at least thirteen rounds of the sacrificial ceremony."
One Evil Demon said.
"What a pity——"
"Originally, we just needed to kill that boy, or force him to verbally declare the contract void, and this hidden Holy Pillar would become 'ownerless'."
"He rushed to die in such a simple matter."
"Yes, no way to act against him now."
An Evil Demon chanted a spell, extending a finger towards the Bronze pillar.
The Bronze pillar became transparent at once.
The Evil Demons saw the human youth sealed inside.
His eyes were open, as if still alive, corners of his mouth slightly upturned, showing a hint of mockery.
——But he truly was dead.
He was dead, who could kill him?
He was sealed, completely impossible to extract from the Bronze pillar.
So, in the end, they had to work hard.
——Hold a grand sacrificial ceremony!
"Then quickly start the ceremony, don't mind this cowardly fool, first take this section of the Holy pillar before anything else."
The U-level Evil Demon said.
The Evil Demons all nodded and began chanting eerie spells.
On the other side.
Wu Xiaode's original body in the Primordial World smiled, lifting his hand.
A black string was wrapped around his hand, clenched into a fist.
"Rather than fighting, let's see who's better bugged—"
A fist was thrown.
Immediately, a battle prompt rune appeared in the Void:
"You've activated the 'Black Fist'."
"This boxing will attack your target across worlds!"
