Abundant Martial Arts Virtue

"Come on."

Wu Xiaode said cheerfully.

No matter if he could reach the Holy Realm or not, he couldn't let a U-level Evil Demon reach the Holy Realm.

So this pilgrimage path was imperative for him!

The doll said:

"There are countless dangers on this path, but one of the most perilous moments is when the path first opens."

"—You must be ready."

"What will happen when the path opens?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Other existences walking the path will detect your presence," said the doll.

Other existences will discover?

Doesn't that mean the U-level Evil Demon would detect him walking on the pilgrimage path?

—Isn't that a death sentence?

Wu Xiaode said dejectedly, "In that case, there's no way to start at all."

The U-level Evil Demon occupied this secret place and manifested various demons through dreams, bringing countless catastrophes to all beings.

—All just to monopolize the passage.

If it discovered him, he would have no chance of surviving.

"The Great Father anticipated such a situation long ago, so there's an emergency refuge passage in the path to evade attacks from other pilgrims," the doll said.

"That's not enough," Wu Xiaode shook his head and said.

"The U-level Evil Demon also cannot know your true identity. The path itself possesses great concealment. Trying to breach such concealment means abandoning the pilgrimage path and never being able to climb towards the Holy Realm." The doll continued.

Wu Xiaode fell into contemplation.

Refuge passage + concealed identity—

With these two points, there is a slight possibility to survive from an incredibly powerful enemy.

"Are you sure that refuge passage is sufficient?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Of course, that's a refuge passage set personally by the Great Father with the power of the Holy Realm. If there's a problem with it, the entire pilgrimage path would collapse," the doll said.

"Does the U-level Evil Demon also have such a passage and concealment?" Wu Xiaode pursued.

"No, it hasn't triggered me, so it cannot receive these two benefits," the doll said.

"Impressive," Wu Xiaode said with sincere admiration.

The Great Father was quite straightforward.

—Regardless of who it is, if they want to go to the Holy Realm, they cannot let there be a problem with the refuge passage or breach the concealment of the pilgrimage path.

Once that happens, the path collapses, and nobody can go to the Holy Realm.

The doll said: "The only problem is, the refuge passage takes about 10 seconds to open, and you must hold on for 10 seconds to enter."

10 seconds!

Wu Xiaode's mouth twitched.

From hope to despair, then to hope again, and back to despair.

—It's just like a roller coaster.

What makes him think he can last for 10 seconds against a U-level Evil Demon!

Wu Xiaode sighed and said:

"Once it detects me as a new pilgrim, it will surely wipe me out as quickly as possible."

"I don't think I can last 10 seconds."

The doll said: "Think again, when you wake from the dream, you'll forever miss this chance."

Wu Xiaode was stunned.

"Yes," the doll said, "it occupied this place, and after this dream, it will immediately patch all loopholes and even the dreams will be sealed by it, preventing you from finding the pilgrimage path."

Wu Xiaode was silent for a few moments, then suddenly patted his cheeks with both hands and growled:

"Damn it, let me think—"

"Ah!"

"I've got it!"

He looked at the Evil Spirit Book, and saw the pages had automatically turned, revealing the three options:

"Currently choose how to use the Eternal Evil Spirit Power."

"1. Enhance your Evil Spirit State;"

"2. Upgrade Evil Spirit Skill;"

"3. Construct the third wall."

That's right!

He reached this place, so he obtained an Eternal Evil Spirit Power!

Right now, he had a chance to boost his strength!

But which one could deal with a U-level Evil Demon?

None of them!

However, if he changed his thinking, just to stretch for 10 seconds—

Maybe there's a way!

Wu Xiaode's gaze fell on the last option.

"The progress of constructing your third wall is 97%, if you integrate this power into the third wall, the wall will reach 200% completion and evolve in the direction you desire."

Evolve in the direction I desire—

This was the only way!

Wu Xiaode pondered for a few more moments and realized there was no other way.

"Evil Spirit Book, integrate the Eternal Evil Spirit Power into my third wall to immediately reach 200% completion!"

Wu Xiaode thought to himself.

The Evil Spirit Book immediately turned to the page of the third wall.

The entire bronze wall was suddenly enveloped by endless dark light, as if the power of the final abyss had descended out of nowhere.

A shred of enlightenment flashed through Wu Xiaode's mind.

"Come."

He placed his hand on the bronze wall, infused his thoughts into it, and firmly thought:

"Let's construct the third ability this way."

"Even if my idea is too absurd, even if this ability can only be used in this situation, even if it can never be used again—"

"I will never let the Evil Demon dominate the holy pilgrimage path!"

With his thought, the towering bronze walls scattered instantly, transforming into bricks that rapidly reconstructed.

After a few breaths.

A castle suddenly emerged on the pages.

A brand-new prompt rune appeared:

"After 'Wall of Collective Will' and 'Wall of Endless Malice', your third wall, having obtained the Eternal Evil Spirit Power, has under your guidance been constructed into your third ability:"

"Evil Spirit Castle."

Wu Xiaode breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally completed!

The doll suddenly spoke up:

"You must make a decision quickly because this dream is about to end."

"Come on, I'll take the plunge!"

Wu Xiaode's eyes focused, his whole body exuding unprecedented fighting spirit, he growled lowly:

"I accept this only chance, let me step onto the holy pilgrimage path!"

The doll said happily, "Good! Get ready—"

She emanated a radiant Holy Light, soaring into the sky, forming a huge Holy Rune,

sending out invisible waves towards the billions of Voids.

"Quick! Don't delay, the U-level Evil Demon is about to discover this place!"

The doll urged urgently.

"What should I do?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Grab it and crush it, the path will be yours!" the doll said.

With a wave of her small hand, the huge Holy Rune rapidly shrunk, landing in front of Wu Xiaode.

Without hesitation, Wu Xiaode grasped the Holy Rune and crushed it forcefully.

Small bronze characters appeared in a line:

"You have obtained the access authority to the secret holy pilgrimage path."

At the same time.

The doll rapidly chanted a long string of obscure spells.

"It's done!"

She screamed, "In a moment, the secret passage will open, you need to rush in at the first moment."

"Now it's coming—"

Before the words fell, a huge, suffocating shadow suddenly emerged in Wu Xiaode's mind.

Death is coming!

A dreamy voice echoed in the Void:

"A dream? You actually thought of such a method to avoid me, but it's meaningless, I only need one finger to destroy everything here."

The moment the voice appeared, Wu Xiaode without hesitation pointed his hand at the Evil Spirit Book.

—World Skill, Evil Spirit Castle!

In an instant.

The entire passage disappeared.

Replaced by a majestic, imposing castle.

Almost the moment the castle appeared, a huge dark shadow fell, standing before the castle.

U-level Evil Demon!

It couldn't wait to arrive here!

The huge dark shadow glanced at the castle before sneering and raising one finger.

Boom————

The entire Evil Spirit Castle instantly turned into scattered powder.

The powder drifted incessantly, but in a moment, it turned into complete nothingness.

1 second!

This was the time the U-level Evil Demon spent glancing at the castle.

It surveyed the Void, ensuring everything was destroyed before issuing its grand and low proclamation:

"Foolish beings."

"From this moment on, you have no more chance to contact the Holy Realm."

7 seconds!

3 seconds left!

The huge dark shadow turned to leave, suddenly sensing something.

Behind.

In the Void.

A cold voice echoed:

"Challenge failed!"

The U-level Evil Demon turned to look back——

Only to see the majestic bronze castle once again appeared not far away.

A graceful figure emerged on the castle's pavilion.

It was a charming snow-haired, red-eyed lady, sitting alone at the dressing table.

Due to tension and fear, she was trembling all over.

But in order to complete her master's command, she reluctantly looked out the window, revealing a stiff smile.

"Do you want to be friends with me?"

Blood Youth nervously recited her lines, forcing herself not to look at the terrifying being beyond imagination.

She took a deep breath, tilted her head playfully, blinked her eyes, and said coquettishly:

"I'm not that easy to ask out, you know!"

A background music played.

Two lines of large bronze characters swiftly appeared above the castle:

"Epic Romance Battle!"

"Strive to earn her favor, only when you win her heart can you achieve victory!"

When the U-level Evil Demon looked at these two lines of large bronze characters, the 1-second mark had already silently surpassed 10 seconds.
