Chapter 4029 Song of the Purple Moon (80) Oh, do you want this gold one or the silver one?

Chapter 4029 The Song of Purple Moon (80) — Middle-aged woman, do you want this gold one or the silver one?

Blood...thick, undried blood that had even begun to stink, but it was too dark around her, and the witch, in her mortal form, couldn't see anything clearly.

Fortunately, there was an old oil lamp hanging on the wall next to it, and even some tools for lighting a fire.

illuminate.

The basement was not large, but it was unusually empty—there was only a box-like object covered with a black cloth.

Besides that, there were bloodstains splattered on the floor and walls—most of which had dried and turned brown.

Most of the bloodstains were concentrated around the object covered by the black cloth.

Without power, there is no confidence. The witch swallowed involuntarily... Her radar, as a master of the art of survival, seemed to be going off like crazy.

However, her beating heart made her exceptionally brave—in the end, greed triumphed over reason, and she told herself to just take one look, just one look!

"Let me see what secret this old man is hiding!"

Taking a deep breath, the witch gritted her teeth and resolutely lifted the black cloth that covered the secret!

Hoho—!

……

While watching over Yuga, [Xiangfeihu] was not idle either, but used long-range attacks to clear away the remnants of the labyrinth roots.

What Lady Xinone said bothered her, besides the matter of the maze, it was about her progress.

I hadn't really felt it before, but now that I've calmed down and cleaned the roots, I can feel the changes within myself.

The [Proof of the Conqueror] ability has become smoother, and the consumption has also decreased. Although the power has not increased, it can produce a stronger effect - or rather, each strike can reach the theoretical maximum value?

She was thrilled to experience this wonderful change...or rather, this state of being.

As for the reason behind this progress, she could only speculate that it was because she had entered the "Sea of ​​Flowers," but she couldn't explain the specific reason.

She didn't do much in the [Sea of ​​Flowers]. Apart from trying some plants from the ordinary area at the beginning to replenish supplies, she mainly farmed in Yuga's area and ate some food provided by him.

"Flow, the Bronze Will."

"Senior, you're awake?"

Li Huamei stopped what she was doing immediately and quickly moved closer to Yu Jia—the old man looked much better at this moment.

However, the "dragon aura" that Ah Xi Ruo left to protect it has also disappeared.

Yu Jia glanced at Li Huamei indifferently, thought for a moment and said, "Your aptitude is indeed not that bad, you're just a bit stubborn, but the early stages will be easy."

[Xiang Feihu] frowned. "Senior, what do you mean by Flow Mind - Bronze Will?"

Yuga said calmly, "You're already quite familiar with the divine techniques of the rules, aren't you? Judging from your golden gauntlets, you're probably close to developing them to their current limit."

Li Huamei nodded and said, "Yes, but I still have no clue about the more advanced divine arts."

Yuga casually said, "Don't always look forward. Even a simple divine technique based on rules can be very powerful... What do you think of those sword strikes I used to slay the Seventh Asura?"

Li Huamei instinctively said, "This junior has never seen such a powerful sword strike before!"

“That is my rule-based divine skill,” Yuga said expressionlessly. “Furthermore, I have never used divine magic.”

"What?!" Li Huamei was immediately shocked. "Just a divine skill?!"

“This is the power of [Will].” Yuga opened his palm. “The power of [Will] is a kind of enhancement. The more astonishing the power of [Will], the more possibilities it can give to divine skills, and it may even surpass divine magic.”

“Senior…” Li Huamei opened her mouth.

"Want to learn?" Yuga smiled calmly.

Li Huamei nodded directly without any pretense.

“If I told you that continuously learning to use the power of [Willpower] would make it much harder for you to comprehend divine magic…” Yuga suddenly narrowed his eyes, “and that when you reach [Golden Willpower], you might even lose the opportunity to create divine magic forever, would you still be willing?”

Li Huamei was immediately startled, her expression changing slightly as she said, "But Senior, you said I already possess the [Bronze Will]..."

“It can be washed away,” Yuga said calmly. “It’s just the most basic [Bronze Will], which I can easily wash away for you. However, once it’s washed away, you will also lose the chance to comprehend the Flow Will again. So, do you want me to help you?”

"I..." Li Huamei was immediately caught in a dilemma.

“You can consider it,” Yuga said calmly, “but it’s best to do it before you comprehend the Silver Will, because once you reach the level of the Silver Will, it will be completely solidified and cannot be washed away.”

“Well… I’ll think about it some more.” [Xiang Feihu] immediately made a compromise.

One shouldn't have everything, but if given the chance... I'd still try to get it—Senior Yuga only said that there's a high chance of losing the opportunity to create divine magic, not that it's absolute.

Upon hearing this, Yuga didn't pay any attention.

Who isn't like that?

Wasn't it like that back then... until the power of [will] became an insurmountable wall for it?

“You can certainly consider it.” Yuga smiled slightly. “Whether it is [Willpower] or [Eternal Divine Art], in the final analysis, it is the power of [Mind]. There is no question of which is stronger or weaker; it’s just that not many people learn [Willpower].

"Why?" [Xiang Feihu] couldn't help but ask curiously.

“Easy to learn but difficult to master is one aspect,” Yuga answered seriously this time, “but more importantly, it will shorten one’s lifespan.”

"Senior, you?"

Yuga said in a Versailles-like manner, "It's just because I performed meritorious service when I was young, and the king bestowed upon me a bottle of the [Breath of Immortality]. After drinking it... no matter how much my lifespan is shortened, I will always have a breath left."

What is this "Baccano!"?

In Xiang Feihu's experience, he had never even heard of this thing—but in terms of immortality, "eternal life" must be some incredible treasure, right?

Alright, so learning this kind of "willpower" of emotion will not only cut off the path to comprehending divine magic, but will also make you die faster the more you learn it?

"Such power, who could have created it..." [Xiang Feihu] couldn't help but smile bitterly.

“A reckless watermelon head.” Yuga said calmly, “You wouldn’t recognize him even if I told you… Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. I can’t leave the courtyard for too long, I should go back.”

[Xiang Feihu] hesitated. This time, entering the [Sea of ​​Flowers], she didn't know how long she would be separated from Xi Ruo again—but she couldn't ignore her boss.

As if seeing through Li Huamei's dilemma, Youjia reached out and handed her two items.

One of them was a uniquely shaped badge, and the other was the lightsaber that the old man had used to cut down the Seventh Asura!

"Senior, what's going on?!"

"The badge is the credential for trainee gardeners in the ordinary area of ​​the courtyard. With it, you can freely enter and leave the courtyard... of course, only within the ordinary area under my supervision." Yuga said expressionlessly, "As for this sword, it's called [Skywalker]. You can use it for now; it has a certain amplifying effect on [Willpower]."

“This is your weapon, senior. Hua Mei dares not take it.” [Xiang Fei Hu] shook his head and handed [Skywalker] back without hesitation.

Yuga gave [Xiangfeihu] a deep look—if it were that [Black Cat] lady, she would probably say something similar right now, but she would probably drool all over the place too.

“It’s just a sword; I have plenty more.” Yuga immediately lifted his tattered robe. “This one I’m giving you is old and almost beyond repair. I also have a golden Skywalker and a silver Skywalker here. Which one do you want?”

[Xiang Feihu] was immediately shocked—what did she see?

Wholesale?

There was a belt wrapped around Yuga's waist, with at least a dozen sword hilts similar to those of the Skywalker swords stuck in it—like a bag full of throwing knives!

“Then… I’ll accept it without hesitation. Please keep the gold and silver ones, I’ll just keep this old one.” Li Huamei accepted it without further ado. “I will definitely come back after I’ve finished dealing with this matter.”

Since Senior Yuga gave her a pass to enter and leave freely, it means he tacitly allowed her to leave—could it be that the captain also obtained a similar pass?

"What you say is indeed believable."

Yuga chuckled, his figure suddenly becoming slightly hunched, and slowly walked into the light sphere of the [Sea of ​​Flowers].

……

……

Inside the Golden Nightmare Labyrinth.

"Young Master, please don't hit me anymore, I won't do it again... I really won't dare to peek at Miss Bobo anymore... Young Master, Young Master?"

Shaq, who was curled up on the ground with his hands covering his head, looked up in panic, only to find no one in front of him.

Shak quickly looked around, thinking that Young Master Miki had come up with some cruel way to torture him again—such as locking him in a dark room, filling it with a large number of snakes, insects, and rats, and making him live for a month before releasing him.

A sharp, stinging pain shot through him... Shaq's clear, foolish gaze gradually turned sinister.

He let out a long sigh, "I never thought I'd actually..."

When haunted by nightmares, he completely forgot that he was the fearsome "Golden" Shaq... However, when the nightmares faded, everything from those nightmares remained vivid in his mind.

"Young Master Mi Qi, you should be glad you were killed by me long ago!"

He slammed his fist into the floor to vent all the resentment in his heart—then, [Golden] Shaq instantly covered his fist, his cheeks twitching violently a few times.

This floor is so damn hard!

No, he has become much weaker!

The continuous absorption of nightmare energy caused not only Shaq's physical strength to decline, but even his immortal power to an unprecedentedly dangerous state!

He even felt that he could fall below the Morning Star at any moment!

"No, I have to get out of this awful place right now!"

But... how do I leave?

At this moment, he was all alone. Not only were his "brothers" gone, but even the "King of Pirates" was nowhere to be seen—and that rabbit, Barnikola, was also nowhere to be found.

A chilling feeling gradually crept into his heart. The fear of this horrible place made [Gold] Shaq's scalp tingle—he never wanted to experience being tortured by [Mitch] again!

What's more, there's the constant danger of losing the [Morning Star]!

Without the slightest hesitation, [Gold] Shaq once again took out the magic item card given to him by [Brother].

"Now is the time I need it most!" [Gold] Shaq sneered, "Show me what you can conjure up to help me get out of this hellhole!"

Treasures are valuable, but life is more precious. A treasure is only a treasure if it is used; hoarding it and waiting for someone else to steal it is pointless.

The card flew out, spun, responded, and instantly transformed into a ball of light, landing in Shaq's palm.

This time he was more careful and didn't specifically ask for anything—like the girly pink earmuffs from before.

What he asked for was to "leave here"!

"……key?"

A very old, brass-colored key... but where's the door?

Just as Shaq was wondering what use it was to give him only one key, the space in front of him suddenly surged, and a boundless gray door appeared in an instant!

There wasn't even a doorknob, but there was a keyhole that you could easily insert your key into!

Insert, click, twist... and the door opens!

Instantly, a breath of fresh air, unlike the stifling air in the maze, rushed in through the crack in the door—the moment the door was fully opened, [Gold] Shaq was completely astonished!

Because what he saw was a [Purple Moon] completely entangled and covered by black tentacle roots!

Damn it!

Shaq instantly realized that this was a portal that ignored the maze and granted his request to leave the maze!

But at the time, he was only thinking about leaving the maze and didn't specify a particular location... so it was assumed that he was simply leaving the maze.

"Damn it, we lost out this time!"

[Golden] Shaq, who quickly walked out of the gray door, was cursing, but then a thought struck him and he hurriedly tried to take the key from the door.

Unexpectedly, the door suddenly vanished—along with the key!

"One-time use?" [Gold] Shaq immediately cursed, "Brother, that's too stingy!"

If he could take this door with him, how convenient that would be!

No, I have to find my brother quickly and get more gold coins from him—if I can leave safely, my brother should be safe too, right?

A gust of cold wind blew by, and [Gold] Shaq suddenly sensed a deadly danger—the sixth sense of an immortal being!

He instinctively opened the sand cage!

The next moment, a terrifying radiance appeared, piercing through the ground of [Purple Moon] and rushing into the void—this radiance was so enormous that [Golden] Shaq couldn't even effectively dodge it!

"ah--!!!!!!"

The Sand Cage shattered instantly under this terrifying radiance, and [Golden] Shaq was knocked to the ground—what heinous crime had he committed to deserve such misfortune?!

This is what happened the moment when [Purple Moon] was pierced for the third time.

……

Inside the Golden Nightmare Labyrinth.

The roots surged, and Raizo once again condensed his body from within them, his face showing an expression of exasperation.

As a projection, Lady Shinone naturally appeared beside Raizo.

"She'll catch up soon," Lady Xinone warned.

“I know! You don’t need to remind me!” Raizo glared fiercely.

—Oh, so you call yourself a teacher when you have nothing else to do?

—Oh, a male…student?

Lady Xinonie said calmly, "The maze projection [Seventh Asura] has consumed too much energy, and its own mechanisms are almost paralyzed. The people inside have begun to wake up."

“I won’t spit out the food that’s been put in!” Raizo sneered. “It’ll be ready soon…wait, one of them actually escaped?”

Lady Xinonne couldn't help but show a look of surprise. Being able to wake up and even leave during a nightmare, even though it was due to the temporary suspension of the maze's functions, was still quite remarkable—especially the fact that she actually escaped.

"Who is it? The guy who projected the Demon King [Wendam]?" Lady [Shinone] subconsciously thought of Claude, a guy with considerable strength.

Raizo frowned. "Shak, that useless, worthless pirate, I don't know why... never mind, he's probably carrying some kind of escape artifact. Let's ignore him!"

Just then, a strong tremor came.

Raizo's face darkened immediately, and he waved his hand.

A gray light screen was projected before them—within the light screen was the Divine Dragon of China, wielding the [Xuanyuan·Zhutian] and bursting forth directly from the core of the [Purple Moon]!

"Wow, so fast..."

Raizo's expression changed slightly, his gaze turning terrifyingly gloomy.
