Chapter 87 The First Desperate Situation
The plane of fantasy sea.

The entrance to the plane is a steep cliff, and other than that the entire plane is a vast ocean.

The islands seemed isolated in the black waves, stretching into the distance.

At this time, on the ninth island of the Illusion Sea, Shen Mu, dressed in white, stood with his eyes closed, immersed in the impact of the illusion and the pressure of consciousness.

At the deepest part of the Fantasy Sea, on the edge of the 21st island.

An old man in black scale armor and a golden robe sat cross-legged. He was the manager of the entire Fantasy Sea.

"Wow, a little cosmic guy has actually withstood the pressure of the consciousness of the ninth island. I wonder if he can see through the illusion."

"Let me see his information, Shen Mu, the disciple of the Lord of Qianwu?"

"Okay, okay, it turns out that you have passed the ninth level of Tongtian Bridge during your time in Chaos City. With such a high level of attainment in the laws, no wonder you have such a high level of consciousness and will."

The old man in black scale armor had a look of surprise on his face. He looked into the distance, watching Shen Mu breaking into the sea of ​​illusion.

A moment later, Shen Mu on the ninth island suddenly opened his eyes and saw through the illusion of the ninth island.

A slight smile appeared on Shen Mu's face: "The illusion of this illusion sea is simple and crude. It clearly tells the challenger that he is in an illusion, but it contains all kinds of temptations."

In the illusion, all the desires of breaking through the levels can be realized. Those who yearn for strength can obtain the cultivation of all-powerful things, and do whatever they want.

People who love beautiful girls can have a taste of anyone's beauty. They can have a paper wife, a secret crush, a queen, etc.

The next moment, Shen Mu's figure turned into a stream of light and headed straight for the tenth island.

On the tenth island, the rocks and gravel are all white.

The trees and plants were full of green. Shen Mu was standing on a thousand-meter-high peak on the ninth island, overlooking the distance.

The next moment, infinite pressure of consciousness and illusion swept over!

"boom!"

Shen Mu just felt as if a huge mountain was smashing down on his consciousness.

This is purely a contest of consciousness intensity. The so-called consciousness intensity can be understood as the power of thinking. The higher the consciousness intensity, the easier it is to increase the consciousness amplitude, which depends on the level of the realm.

Even some realm master-level masters only need to release the pressure of consciousness to kill stellar-level beings.

Willpower is simply the mind and personality, and has nothing to do with realm. To give an extreme example, even some cosmic-level people, such as Hong, have willpower comparable to that of a peak immortal-level strongman.

The tenth island in the Illusion Sea had a consciousness pressure comparable to that of an immortal. No matter how strong Shen Mu's will was, his consciousness was defeated in an instant, and he didn't even enter the illusion.

"call!"

The old man in black scale armor breathed a sigh of relief. Shen Mu finally stopped at the tenth island. It would be amazing if he could really get through.

……

Virtual universe, Yu Xiangshan.

Shen Mu's face was still slightly pale: "Compared with Brother Hong, I am still far behind."

Whether it is willpower or state of mind, improvement will not happen overnight.

Shen Mu's willpower is comparable to that of a realm master, and he also experienced three lives and two deaths and went through great terror to achieve such an achievement.

"It will take some time for the Azure Dragon clone to evolve to the realm master level. This period of time is just enough for me to complete my training tasks."

Shen Mu's plan is to wait until the Azure Dragon clone evolves to the realm lord level, and then the Earthling will break through to the domain lord level.

According to the normal evolution speed, it would take a full ten thousand years for the Azure Dragon clone to evolve from the first level of Domain Lord to the first level of Realm Lord.

Even though Shen Mu compared and tested countless combinations of water-attribute treasure recipes, the evolution speed was only increased to 65 times.

"It seems that I still need to buy some treasures to accelerate the evolution of the world within my body."

Shen Mu directly ordered the intelligent life form Tuanzi to search and purchase all the supplies he needed in the virtual universe treasure house.

There is naturally no shortage of materials in the treasure house of the Virtual Universe Company to promote the evolution of the world within the body, but the points consumed each year are as high as about 1.3.

Combined with the water attribute evolution recipe, the final evolution speed can barely be close to a hundred times.

All in all, he would need to stay at the cosmic level for about a hundred years. This time was just enough for Shen Mu to calm down. After completing the most important mission trials, he would directly break through to the domain lord level and return to the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

Shen Mu had long planned to join forces with the teacher of the Lord of Qianwu Kingdom, using himself as bait to see if he could lure out the assassination of the alien leader.

At that time, the bulk of the harvest will definitely belong to Master Qianwu, and I will just need to get enough points to practice.

"There is also the Yanshen clan's avatar, which needs to cultivate the Yanshen clan's exclusive "Yanshen Combat Body", which is also a big consumer of points."

The Yanshen Battle Body is an exclusive secret method of body vibration inherited from the Yanshen bloodline.

The practice of almost all amplitude-related secret techniques requires absorbing and refining various treasures, strengthening and transforming oneself, in order to unleash an amplitude burst.

For example, the "Original World" in the secret method inherited from the golden-horned beast is divided into three levels. Just to cultivate the 9-fold amplitude of the second level, the points consumed exceed billion.

Even though the amplitude is only 9 times, you should know that the amplitude of the divine bodies of most of the kings who have reached the limit of power or the invincible kings is only about 10 times.

It's not that they don't want to improve, but the resources required for amplitude and cultivation secrets are too precious, easily costing tens of billions or even hundreds of billions.

This situation is actually very normal. The genetic characteristics of any creature are not static. All the strong people who create amplitude-type secret techniques create these secret techniques based on their own genetic characteristics.

Therefore, when the creator performs amplitude-type secret techniques himself, he hardly needs to modify genetic traits, or the points consumed are almost negligible.

The "Yan Shen Combat Body" is a secret technique created based on the genetic characteristics shared by the Yan Shen people.

It is divided into 10 levels. The first level can increase the amplitude by 10 times after completion, and the resources required to purchase it with points are only about one million.

"There are three goals to be accomplished in the cosmic level training mission."

"First of all, we must obtain the Blood Luo Crystal that can improve genes. However, the Blood Luo World does not need me to go there. When Luo Feng chooses the Blood Luo World, I will ask him to get more Blood Luo Crystals."

In the original novel, Luo Feng collected nearly ten thousand Blood Luo Crystals in just thirty years.

Shen Mu's demand is not large. He just needs to prepare 100 each for the Earthling clone and the Yanshen clan clone, and 1000 for the Azure Dragon clone.

As for the points, I will shamelessly owe them to Luo Feng for now, and I will definitely give them to Luo Feng later.

"I can only let Junior Brother Luo Feng suffer."

The other two goals are the soul and body amplitude secrets.

The soul-type amplitude secret method has been found, so just follow Luo Feng to explore the Demon Sound Mountain and continue to take advantage of opportunities.

The secret method of the Yanshen Clan is only suitable for the practice of the Yanshen Clan's clones. The best secret method that the Earthling clones can currently practice is the amplitude secret method created by the teacher of Qianwu Kingdom, which is at the same level as the Yanjing Nine Refining Body.

"I don't know which training mission has the opportunity to learn the secret method of body vibration."

However, Shen Mu didn't know, but the teacher of Qianwu State Lord probably knew. After all, even King Zhenyan could understand the secret of the inheritance of the God General, let alone the master of Qianwu State who was a high-level universe master.

"Tuanzi, call the teacher of Qianwu Kingdom." "Okay, Master."

A virtual light screen appeared in front of Shen Mu, and after a moment, the communication was connected.

"My dear disciple, what confusion have you encountered?"

King Qianwu was extremely satisfied with his disciple Shen Mu. Not only did he win first place in the genius battle, but he also accomplished such a feat during his time in Chaos City.

This time, the tribe rewarded himself by cultivating a genius like Shen Mu, and the contribution owed to the tribe was slightly wiped out, which was equivalent to the slow accumulation of tens of millions of epochs.

"Teacher, I have some doubts, please give me some advice."

"By chance, I learned that the core-level cosmic members of the virtual universe have their own opportunities for cultivation tasks."

"Among them, there are Blood Luo Crystals that can improve genes in the Blood Luo World, and in the Demon Mountain there is the inheritance of the Demon Sound God that is about to be opened, and there are secret books on soul amplitude among them."

"So I would like to ask the teacher, in which cultivation world can I find the opportunity to obtain the secret method of body vibration?"

As soon as Shen Mu said this, the King of Qianwu looked strange and looked Shen Mu up and down.

The Lord of Qianwu said uncertainly: "You...are not planning to take over the inheritance of the Demon Sound God General, are you?"

Theoretically speaking, the next time the Demon Sound God's inheritance will be opened will be within a hundred years. If this little disciple of his chooses the Demon Mountain mission, there is indeed a glimmer of hope for him to enter the inheritance hall.

But with cosmic-level strength, entering the inheritance hall is almost certain to fail.

Shen Mu directly revealed his cards: "Teacher, I have the secret method of clones, so I am not afraid of death."

"Secret method of clones?!"

The King of Qianwu was indeed a little shocked. You know, the powerful talent of the secret method of clone is rare even among the cosmic masters.

Not to mention the Lord of the Universe, even among the great beings at a higher level, only about half possess this kind of secret technique.

This little disciple of mine has the secret method of clones, and his ability to protect his life is almost at its maximum. Moreover, his talent, character and understanding are all top-notch.

As long as he is well trained and taught, the possibility of becoming a ruler or a respected person in the future is definitely not slim.

After pondering for a moment, King Qianwu finally spoke.

"It's not that there is no chance to learn the secret method of body vibration. It is also a kind of inheritance of the gods, and it is open all year round. That is... the Purgatory Abyss!"

Purgatory Abyss, desperate training mission, mortality rate 99%
In fact, the mortality rate of the Purgatory Abyss is infinitely close to 100%. In history, only a very few monsters have come out of the Purgatory Abyss alive.

The Purgatory Abyss is a prison, a dangerous place in the universe that gave birth to the Prison Clan, a prison!

All creatures born in the Purgatory Abyss possess special secret patterns called Prison Patterns, and are born members of the Prison Clan.

It is easy to enter the Purgatory Abyss, but the only way to leave the Purgatory Abyss is to accept the inheritance of the Purgatory God.

And one must obtain a sufficiently deep level of inheritance in order to pass through the inheritor channel and leave the purgatory abyss.

For the little cosmic-level creatures, this purgatory abyss is almost an impassable Jedi. After all, it is almost impossible for the cosmic-level creatures to obtain a deep enough inheritance.

"Ah? The God General inheritance that has been opened all year round is actually regarded as a training task for universe-level members by the Virtual Universe Company?"

Shen Mu was surprised. Even a weaker Venerable-level being would covet such an inheritance, right?
Upon hearing this, Lord Qianwu smiled and explained, "It's not that the virtual company treats it as a training mission for cosmic-level members, but if you want to start the inheritance, your physical realm cannot exceed the ninth level of the cosmic level."

Upon hearing this, Shen Mu's face suddenly became clear. No wonder it was like this.

"Teacher, I wonder what precautions are required in this purgatory abyss?"

"I don't know the specific inheritance of the Purgatory God. But there is one thing you need to pay attention to. There are immortal-level Hell Clan strongmen guarding the periphery of the inheritance..."

A moment later, King Qianwu told his little disciple all he knew about the Purgatory Abyss.

"Shen Mu, you have the ability to clone yourself. It doesn't matter if you can't get through the Purgatory Abyss the first time. You can try it many times. In the inheritance hall, practicing the amplitude secret method does not require any resources and can be directly converted into strength."

Shen Mu bowed slightly to the Lord of Qianwu on the screen: "Thank you for your guidance, teacher."

……

After hanging up the call, Shen Mu directly entered the background management interface and chose to accept the training task.

The page showed five levels of training tasks, allowing Shen Mu to choose.

Safe level (mortality rate is 0%), normal level (mortality rate is 10%), difficult level (mortality rate is 20%), dangerous level (mortality rate is 50%), desperate level (mortality rate is 90%).

Shen Mu directly chose to accept the "desperate level" training mission.

"drop!"

A red font warning appeared on the screen.

"Warning! Warning! Your Highness Shen Mu, this is your first time accepting a training mission. According to the probability calculated by my Virtual Universe Company based on many examples in history, no member who accepts a 'Desperate Level' training mission for the first time will survive!"

"Please choose carefully. If you continue to choose, please click OK. Otherwise, you will cancel this training mission."

Shen Mu directly confirmed that the list of desperate level training tasks emerged, a total of 18 desperate level tasks.

1. Purgatory Abyss (the original secret realm of Virtual Universe Company)

……

18. Blood Demon Continent (Blood-Dripping Secret Realm of the Universe’s First Bank)

Purgatory Abyss, the reward points are as high as 100 million. The only criterion for completing the task is to come out alive, there are no other restrictions.

Shen Mu clicked lightly and chose to accept the Purgatory Abyss mission.

"Please confirm to accept the Purgatory Abyss training mission."

"Accepted successfully."

"Please fill in the departure time, and Virtual Universe Company will arrange for someone to take you to the Abyss of Purgatory."

……

Half a month later, a spaceship arrived at Shen Mu's territory and slowly landed at the gate of the quiet courtyard where Shen Mu lived.

"Your Highness Shen Mu."

Ten men in black uniforms walked down from the spaceship. Their auras reached the peak of the realm master level. They saluted respectfully.

Beside Shen Mu, the immortal spirit Yu Lun said with a worried look, "Your Highness, be careful."

Shen Mu smiled and nodded: "Well, I'm leaving."

"Farewell, Your Highness!" Yu Lun and many guards bowed in greeting.

hum!
The spaceship took off, and then suddenly turned into a stream of light, heading straight for a remote corner of the Wuchen space-time, which was where the Purgatory Abyss was located.
