Abundant Martial Arts Virtue

The crowd at the market had already evacuated.

The U-level evil demon floated in mid-air, about to form a seal skill, but it was scattered by an invisible force from the void.

It opened its mouth to cast a spell, immediately sensing something striking towards it, forcing it to close its mouth and turn its face.

In the next instant.

Wu Xiaode appeared beside it.

Just as he was about to throw a punch, Nan Li, who was observing from the side, suddenly shouted loudly:

"Hold on!"

"Hold on for as long as you can, it's beneficial for you, Little Wu!"

Wu Xiaode's punch hit nothing but air.

The U-level evil demon dodged, appearing hundreds of meters away in an instant, laughing:

"You think I can't see through your combat strategy?"

"The void can act for you, interrupting all magic, allowing you to forcefully enter close combat."

"In other words, you have great confidence in close-quarters combat."

"But if I unleash a powerful spell, you're finished—"

Rings of dim halos erupted from its body, sweeping across all directions.

The ground kept trembling.

Only then did Wu Xiaode take the chance to turn back and glance at Nan Li.

She was holding a long metal rod, with a clock ticking on top of it.

—What's that for?

No time to think, Wu Xiaode retracted his gaze and looked at the ground.

The ground cracked open with a thunderous roar.

A giant figure emerged from underground, buzzing:

"Is it you calling me, Yan."

This was an enormous monster, dozens of meters tall, made entirely of dark yellow flesh.

A faint yellow mist spread from its body, drenching the surrounding ground in an evil substance, as if it had come to life.

"Kill this human," the U-level evil demon coldly ordered.

The giant trembled.

Without visible gestures, Wu Xiaode was instantly engulfed in a cloud of yellow mist.

"Huh? Can't perform evil transformation?"

The giant murmured, raising its hands high, crossing them into a hammer shape in mid-air, and smashed down hard.

Even the void collapsed under this move.

Boom!!!

The giant's arms buried deep into the earth.

An abrupt upheaval—

Countless dark grey spears of light emerged from the ground, covering the entire market, shooting straight into the sky.

—It seemed like a melee assault, yet who would expect it to be an indiscriminate large-scale attack skill?

The light spears, carrying a terrifying aura, persisted for seven to eight breaths before slowly dissipating.

Is it dead?

The giant monster scanned the surroundings, but found no trace of the human race from before.

"Yan—"

It called out, but received no reply.

Looking back, the U-level evil demon had also vanished.

Hundreds of miles away from the market—

Two forms dashed through the air at full capacity.

Wu Xiaode leaped through the air; each time the U-level evil demon's spell was about to succeed, he rushed in for a scuffle, determined to interrupt the spell.

—In fact, that spontaneous summoning skill earlier didn't need attention at all.

The U-level demon intended to delay with summoned creatures, hiding on the side to form seals and unleash a truly powerful evil magic, to annihilate Wu Xiaode in one blow.

Interrupting the U-level evil demon's magic was the top priority.

"Hahaha, you were seen through, all your power is concentrated on close combat, which is why you're afraid of my evil magic!"

The U-level evil demon laughed in the air.

It engaged with Wu Xiaode's fists and kicks, occasionally taking a hit but not caring, even showing a confident demeanor.

Wu Xiaode's expression became increasingly grave.

His power level was still too low.

Even with two enhancements from the first layer of the Holy Pillar, it couldn't inflict significant damage on the U-level evil demon.

Clearly, he needed to quickly boost the power of his fighting skill!

"I'll let you experience despair," the U-level evil demon said.

Wisps of light emerged from its body, coalescing into two hand shapes out of thin air.

—It was actually manifesting into hands with evil light to form seals and cast!

The spell completed—

Truth Skill: Ten Thousand Evil Sleepy Dreams!

The void suddenly opened.

Countless evil demons rushed out, overwhelming the skies and charging towards Wu Xiaode.

Watching from a distance, Nan Li sighed quietly.

It's over.

This is a Truth Skill!

Countless S-level and super S-level evil demons could almost form an army, and it still didn't violate the principle of a one-on-one duel since they all came from a single spell.

This time, Wu Xiaode was certainly dead!

No combatant could cope with such a Truth Skill.

Nan Li's expression darkened, and she couldn't help but look up at the clock she held high—

Not enough time!

In the sky, the U-level evil demon's wanton laughter rang out:

"Hahaha, you wanted to block my spell, but now with thousands of evil demons in front of you, how will you block it?"

"—Die!"

Before the words fell, Wu Xiaode, facing the overwhelming evil demons, reached into the void and grabbed—

A black rope quietly appeared, winding around his five fingers and extending to his forearm.

Wu Xiaode casually threw a punch.

Crack.

A light sound.

In the spot his fist hit, cracks appeared in the void, like shattered glass.

"I also want to see how strong this so-called Truth Skill really is."

Wu Xiaode spoke.

The U-level demon squinted at the void fissure and said disdainfully, "A world-class skill? It's useless. The beings I create from my dreams all have independent consciousness and self-thought, capable of fighting with all their might."

"Oh? Independent consciousness? Self-thought?" Wu Xiaode laughed.

The U-level demon couldn't quite understand what he meant for the moment.

——But it didn't matter anymore.

The demons were getting closer and closer to Wu Xiaode.

The outcome would be decided at this moment!

Suddenly, a world rapidly spread out from Wu Xiaode, and in a flash, all the demons were absorbed into it.

Wu Xiaode disappeared along with them.

The U-level demon shouted:

"It's useless! Any world is no match for our race; your world will soon be destroyed!"

"They'll come back to me with your head!"

...

On the other side.

A world unfolded out of thin air, revealing a vast and boundless blankness.

In this seemingly endless blankness, piles of televisions were haphazardly stacked into small hills.

The demons rushed in, ready to attack, but they all stopped.

"This place seems to have remnants of our race's aura."

A super-S-level demon pondered.

Wu Xiaode was nowhere to be seen.

However, all the televisions lit up.

Scenes from the past appeared densely on the televisions, showing the time when the U-level demon slumbered here.

——To recreate these past events, Wu Xiaode, along with Shen Feixue and Shen Xiyao, found many tracing-type skills from the Queen Mother of the West's legacy to gather all this.

One after another, the screens displayed the scenes of demons creating worlds.

Until finally——

The U-level demon awoke and left from here, ending this Truth Skill.

All the dream demons faced destruction.

"No... this can't be real..."

An A-level demon muttered.

The other demons looked at it but remained silent.

As S-level and super-S-level demons, with such power, coupled with independent thinking granted by the Truth Skill, they could completely discern the reality of what was displayed on the screens.

The A-level demon looked around at the powerful beings, which remained silent, and gradually understood something.

All the television screens kept replaying the scene of the U-level demon leaving, abandoning the skill, allowing them to destroy themselves.

The world fell into an eerie silence.

Suddenly.

All the televisions displayed the image of Wu Xiaode.

He addressed the demons:

"——If you kill me, you, as the skill, will reach your end and be destroyed."

"Do you really want that?"

No demon answered.

The scene of the previous generation of dream demons marching towards extinction threw all present demons into contemplation.

——Who the hell just came back to life and wants to die?

Anyone, upon learning they are just a skill, wouldn't feel good about it.

"Damn it, this all seems real."

A super-S-level demon said unwillingly, "Just before we entered this world, everyone saw the caster of this skill."

"That's right, it was indeed a U-level demon who awakened us and gave us thought and power," another super-S-level demon said.

"I don't want to be destroyed," the third super-S-level demon said.

"But how could we possibly resist that U-level guy? I'm afraid once we resist, it will immediately dissolve the skill, making us disappear on our own."

The demons fell silent once again.

Yes.

There's utterly no way.

Suddenly.

A figure appeared on a nearby television hill.

Wu Xiaode sat on a TV, smiling, and said:

"Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you want to truly live?"

"As long as you don't kill me for now——"

"I am willing to lead you to attempt to break away from this skill."

The demons hesitated for a moment.

—— No shit Sherlock, if you die, we all die.

Who's going to kill you now!

The leading super-S-level demon said:

"We need to have a discussion, and don't think you can escape."

Wu Xiaode shrugged and said, "OK."

He sat there obediently, not moving.

But soon, the Evil Spirit Book quietly opened, showing a line of small bronze text:

"Current combat time with U-level demon exceeds 5 minutes."

"Due to the large difference in level between the two sides, under the witness 'Nan Li's' presiding, your level is automatically raised by one level."

"Keep fighting, and you will continue to gain recognition from the Holy Pillar."

One level up?

Wu Xiaode finally understood what Nan Li meant by shouting before.

If that's the case, wouldn't I be able to go to the Holy Pillar and enhance my combat strength?

Wait a minute.

He retracted his thoughts, looking at the demons opposite him.

The demons were gathering in a circle, discussing matters of life and death.

It seemed like it would take some time.

Which means...

The longer it drags on, the longer the battle time with the U-level demon.

The level difference between the two sides is vast.

The longer the battle, wouldn't I be able to repeatedly level up?
