The Seventh Base

"Passed!"

Cleo looked at the screen in front of him. After Xu Mo passed through the seventh virtual trial ground, he didn't stop and continued to pass through the eighth virtual trial field.

This means there's only one virtual trial ground left in the Imperial Realm, and this particular virtual trial ground is different from the previous ones; it can only be unlocked at the end.

The name of this virtual trial ground is: Wanxiang.

Xu Mo arrived at this virtual trial ground, and the entire world was as clean as a mirror, spotless, with light shining down.

Ahead, a figure floated in the air. This is a virtual person, modeled by the virtual world.

The entire virtual trial ground had only one person.

"This guy is going to have a hard time," Cleo said with a smile. Now Xu Mo is on par with Augustus, both have passed eight virtual trial fields.

Moreover, Xu Mo passed them in one go, which gave Cleo a big surprise.

This ninth virtual trial ground, called Wanxiang, will change according to the Transcendent's own ability.

Xu Mo cultivated the Heavenly Net Battle Technique. Facing the Wanxiang virtual trial ground, he's bound to have a tough time.

This virtual trial ground is not easy to pass.

Around Xu Mo's body, nine swords floated, spinning around his body, his expression vigilant.

When he passed the eighth virtual trial ground before, he already felt considerable pressure. Now, this ninth virtual trial ground, though there was only one person, Xu Mo knew very well that being the last to be unlocked, the difficulty would certainly be the greatest.

"Buzz."

With a thought from Xu Mo, a flying sword in front of him rang out sharply and instantly killed, as he attempted to test the opponent's abilities.

"Boom."

A loud noise erupted, and the flying sword was blocked. Xu Mo was stunned, as another flying sword blocked it.

In an instant, nine flying swords similarly hovered around the opponent's body.

"This..." Xu Mo's pupils contracted. Wanxiang Virtual Trial Ground, derived from Heavenly Net?

Could it be that this virtual trial ground is a test of the Heavenly Net Battle Technique?

Clearly, the opponent was also proficient in Heavenly Net.

Suddenly, beams of lightning erupted, and the nine flying swords around the opponent's body disappeared simultaneously. Xu Mo's body retreated rapidly, his senses pushed to the limit. In his perception, all nine flying swords shot toward him.

A powerful burst of spiritual power exploded, and the instant-kill flying swords appeared to pause for a moment. The swords around Xu Mo's body struck them, forming a ring of sword light around Xu Mo's body, spinning rapidly.

With a thought from the opponent, more flying swords appeared. Twenty-seven flying swords flew through the air simultaneously, weaving a Heavenly Net around Xu Mo's body, rotating non-stop, with trails of sword light appearing around Xu Mo's body.

The next moment, the twenty-seven swords flew together, instantly killing and targeting Xu Mo.

Thunderlight erupted from Xu Mo's body, spiritual power similarly pushed to the extreme, and the nine swords around him moved at maximum speed, trying to form a protective sword shield.

Clanging sounds were incessant, blocking many flying swords. Xu Mo was able to track all the flying swords' trajectories. He saw some swords breaking through the defense, attacking, and his body flickered with light and shadow, dodging several attacks.

However, the Heavenly Net released by the twenty-seven swords seemed like a myriad of swords flying together, interweaving sword qi crossing, creating countless sword shadows.

Xu Mo's body was amidst the sword shadows, countless flying swords penetrating his body, being pierced by thousands of swords instantly led to his death.

"Tragic!" Cleo watched this scene and silently clicked his tongue. Xu Mo chose to cultivate Heavenly Net, and now he's suffering the backlash in the Wanxiang Virtual Trial Ground.

The ninth virtual trial ground, the control over Heavenly Net, even a typical supreme expert couldn't achieve.

"Phew..."

After disconnecting, Xu Mo took a deep breath. It had been a long time since he felt the sensation of being killed. Now, once again in the virtual trial ground, he was killed, and skewered by thousands of swords like a tragic villain.

If the Heavenly Net was cultivated to its limit, it would be a great destructive weapon.

He passed the eighth virtual trial ground in one go but didn't expect to be brutally slaughtered in the Wanxiang Virtual Trial Ground, too brutal.

"Again." Xu Mo, a bit disgruntled, re-entered the ninth virtual trial ground.

But soon, the outcome was the same, killed in a similarly brutal way.

Xu Mo attempted over and over, continuously being killed.

Cleo, watching from the office, felt a bit squeamish, it was too bloody.

This guy, he's a madman.

Finally, after who knows how many deaths, Xu Mo finally disconnected and left the cultivation cabin, feeling like vomiting, as he had been killed continuously many times.

Each time, it was a real sensory experience.

"What's wrong?" Zero saw Xu Mo looking abnormal and asked.

"Nothing," Xu Mo said, feeling downcast, too embarrassed to say.

"How many have you passed?" Zero continued to ask.

"Eight," Xu Mo replied.

Zero's eyes widened a bit as he looked at Xu Mo, impressed by his strength.

"I must kill him." Xu Mo said sullenly.

Zero looked at him, and Xu Mo added, "The guy in the Ninth Virtual Trial Field."

The setup of this Ninth Virtual Trial Field makes it almost impossible to pass, with combat power that makes people feel despair.

When an ability is cultivated to the extreme, it becomes extremely terrifying.

"Do you want to use this first?" Zero pointed at the Genetic Evolution Liquid and asked.

"No need." Xu Mo shook his head, his mind racing. Having less strength than the opponent doesn't mean you can't kill them.

After all, it's the Virtual World. Just as people in the real world have weaknesses, so do people in the Virtual World, being programmed and mechanical. Xu Mo's repeated attempts were tests to see how the opponent would react to different attacks.

Xu Mo felt he had already grasped a bit of it.

After resting for a moment, Xu Mo adjusted his state to the best.

Then, he once again headed for the Cultivation Cabin, entering the Ninth Virtual World, the Wanxiang World.

Cleo originally thought Xu Mo had given up, but then he received news that Xu Mo was continuing the challenge. This surprised him. Is he so persistent?

Although Xu Mo's strength has room for improvement with more practice, the design of this Wanxiang Virtual World makes it fundamentally impossible to pass.

Ahead, in the screen, Xu Mo appeared once again, facing that invincible figure in the Ninth Virtual World.

This time, Xu Mo did not use the Flying Sword; he held a blade in his hand, a black blade.

"Buzz..."

He moved forward, but his speed didn't seem very fast, flying through the air.

The figure opposite waved a hand, causing nine swords to hover in front of him, humming and emitting a fierce screeching sound.

"Hiss."

A sword split the air, arriving for an instant kill. Xu Mo's perception was extended to its limit, able to clearly capture the trajectory of that Instant Kill Sword. As the Flying Sword came to attack, Thunder Light bathed Xu Mo's body, and with a slight move, the Flying Sword brushed past him.

Ahead, the other Flying Swords also came to slaughter.

Xu Mo moved like lightning, weaving between the Flying Swords, avoiding the nine-sword attack with a frightening movement technique.

However, all this happened in a split second, and as the nine swords missed, they instantly changed direction, attacking Xu Mo from behind.

"Boom."

At this moment, an immensely powerful Energy Aura erupted from Xu Mo, starlight shining as his body shot towards the other side like a Meteor.

The figure opposite just wanted to react when Xu Mo's spiritual power directly attacked the opponent's head, like a sharp sword piercing into their mind, even in this virtual world where Transcendents are no different from actual humans.

Hit by the Spiritual Attack, the opponent stalled for an instant, and in just that moment, Xu Mo's speed exploded to the limit, control also reaching its peak, his Flying Sword shooting backward, colliding with the pursing Flying Swords.

The War Saber in Xu Mo's hand was entangled with terrifying Energy Light, and all surrounding energy gathered onto it, spiritual power highly concentrated, striking towards the opponent at terrifying speed.

But right then, twenty-seven Flying Swords circled and spun before the opponent, forming a disc, resembling a Sword Array harboring incredibly terrifying shredding power. If one entered the Sword Array, they might be torn apart.

"Boom..."

The Dawn Blade slashed out with the Meteor Body Technique, an overwhelmingly domineering slash that directly pierced the Sword Array, rushing inside, stabbing towards the opponent's head.

The figure retreated, Xu Mo's arm plunged straight into the Sword Array, forcing the blade towards the opponent. His hand was instantly shredded by the Sword Array, filled with heart-wrenching pain, but his spiritual power was driven to the extreme at this moment. The dreadful slash on the other end of the Sword Array continued forward, shooting out explosively, as if an invisible hand was still gripping the War Saber.

"Pfft."

The blade directly pierced the opponent's head, with a boom, the head exploded instantly, the figure shattered, and the Flying Sword vanished.

The next moment, a voice sounded in his mind.

"Congratulations on passing the Wanxiang Virtual Trial Ground, you may unlock one reward." The system voice rang, and Xu Mo took a deep breath, feeling somewhat relieved.

He did it!

If measuring combat power alone, it's nearly impossible to clear the Wanxiang Virtual Trial Ground in a straightforward fight, but real combat isn't just about a simple comparison of strength, combat strategy is part of it too.

The rewards unlocked this round were plentiful, and some reward quality seemed higher too.

Xu Mo selected a reward from them and then entered a Skywalker-level Trial Ground.

In the vast Universe, on a planet seething with intense flames, Xu Mo stood there, feeling a surge of scorching airflow rushing towards him.

The next moment, a huge flaming figure appeared from that planet, like a god of fire, towering and immense.

Xu Mo raised his head to look at that majestic figure, feeling the pressure, which seemed to be from a top-level Skywalker-level power, making one feel a soul-deep chill.

The figure opened its mouth, spewing directly toward Xu Mo, flames instantly engulfing a section of space. Xu Mo let out a miserable cry, turning into nothingness in an instant, dying just as quickly.

However, feeling the pressure of a Skywalker, he could have a unique experience.

Afterward, Xu Mo exited the Virtual World.

At this moment, in the Mystic God Temple, besides Cleo and a few others, no one else knew that Xu Mo had passed all the Virtual Trial Grounds in one go.
