Chapter 835: Chapter 835
Ultimately, the Emperor of Wu Country could only compromise. "Very well, come with me, all of you are pillars of our nation. If possible, let others go instead." The Emperor felt as though he had aged decades at that moment.
A group of people arrived at the last artificial hill in the Imperial Palace, a place no one would suspect housed the greatest secret of Wu Country.
Legend has it that the first Martial God of this world had achieved his Divine Power right here, and the spring left behind was named the Sacred Spring of Martial God, possessing incredibly unbelievable power.
"Think it over, this is your last chance."
"Your Majesty, whether the state endures, our lives are inconsequential. As long as our deaths can exchange for the prosperity of Wu Country and the peace and happiness of the people, we will have died with purpose." At this, even those who were originally uncertain firmed their resolve.
The Emperor of Wu Country turned around and bowed to everyone: "On behalf of everyone, I thank you." This respect, they could accept. This wasn’t for themselves, all of them were heroes.
"Those who use the Sacred Spring of Martial God must reach the level of Great Martial Master, otherwise, they cannot withstand it. Those who don’t have this strength, leave now." Some people felt unwilling, but there was nothing they could do.
A Great Martial Master refers to someone of at least third tier strength. Without this level of strength, using the Sacred Spring would only lead to instant death.
"Alright, come up now and drink, one gulp is enough. I will tell you about the taboos of the Sacred Spring."
"After using the Sacred Spring, you must not fight, because you only have one chance to do so. Once you fight, you will be able to exert the combat strength of a seasoned Tian Gang Martial Artist, but you will die after this one time. Moreover, even if you do not fight, after drinking from the Sacred Spring of Martial God, you can only live for a month at most, unless you can break through to the Martial God level within this one month."
To breakthrough to Martial God, the entire empire has only one Martial God, and the whole world has only four. It’s not easy to achieve that in a month. Besides, they came here prepared to die.
These people, one by one, drank the Sacred Spring, then their expressions started to distort.
"Endure it. Willpower is the key to whether you can survive. Of those who use the Sacred Spring of Martial God, generally only one or two out of ten survive." Finally, the Emperor couldn’t bear to watch anymore.
These loyal warriors of his own empire were about to die in large numbers.
What they didn’t notice was that, not far from them, in a shadow, a person was hiding in invisibility. Indeed, before arriving, Du You had sent Lin Yucha ahead to scout.
Lin Yucha, hidden within view, observed everything they did. Lin Yucha’s ’Space Arrow’ was in Du You’s hands, ready to bring him back instantaneously. Thus, Du You wasn’t worried about safety at all.
Elsewhere, Du You looked towards the distant Imperial Capital of Wu Country, feeling a powerful force rolling in the skies above the capital. As an outsider, Du You could clearly sense the fluctuations of this power. Being an intruder, Du You knew what this force represented—it was the power of the World Origin.
The will of the world started to condense. This world had a too low level, the world will couldn’t attack directly, so it had to use indirect methods to confront him. This condensation of power meant that his plan was nearly complete.
"Forcing the world will to manifest and resist, that’s a treatment only top-tier destroyers receive. I didn’t expect to become the major villain myself," Du You remarked, overwhelmed by the greatness of that force.
In terms of both the level and the magnitude of power, it was far above him. If this force wasn’t spread out controlling the entire world, unable to completely concentrate, he would have no chance to confront it.
At that moment, a message from Lin Yucha arrived. "What? Sacred Spring of Martial God, it has such a foundation. Could it be that this condensation of power is intended to use the Sacred Spring of Martial God to counter me?" Du You muttered to himself.
A few minutes later, another message from Lin Yucha arrived: "Are you saying, a total of one hundred twenty-six people, all succeeded, not one died, all became one-time Martial Gods?"
Du You’s eyes widened; he knew what the final resistance of the world will was now—it was the combat power of these 127 Martial Gods, among which 126 were created, and one was Wu Country’s own Martial God.
Du You wasn’t too surprised, in fact, the Emperor of Wu Country was actually the one truly shocked. How could this be different from what he remembered? The records clearly stated only a ten to twenty percent success rate.
He was prepared for the majority to die, expecting at most ten or twenty to succeed. Who could have imagined they would all succeed.
Du You understood that this was due to the enhancement by the world will, turning a low-probability event into a certain success. When the world power launched a counterattack, anything could happen.
However, Du You also breathed a sigh of relief. At least he knew what means the other side was using to counter. If it had been some other method, keeping Du You in the dark, he would have been more cautious. There had been instances where one could be killed by a counterattack from the world will. It was rare for one person to control an entire world.
Others looking to control a Derived World would usually try to bring dozens or even thousands along, not just go it alone like he did.
"This is the last counterattack from this world’s power. Once we break it, we can achieve the final victory."
"But what should we do, just go and attack?" Faced with over a hundred Tian Gang Martial Artists, Lin Yushi felt immense pressure. If it had been another profession, even if there were several times more of fourth tier, they wouldn’t be afraid.
They could always run away if they couldn’t defeat them, trying over and over again. But the combat strength of Tian Gang Martial Artist was terrifying. The instantaneous burst of strength meant that even with only a dozen, it would be difficult for them to escape, not to mention so many. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝓷𝓮𝓽
The counterattack from the world will, indeed, started exceptionally sharp.
Yet Du You smiled: "Don’t forget, I still haven’t used my most powerful tactic in warfare. The people of this world and the world will don’t know about it, otherwise they wouldn’t have used this method to intercept me. Tian Gang Martial Artist ultimately has too many weaknesses. Short duration of explosion, and especially vulnerable to powerful magic, particularly control type and quantity type magic."
Lin Yushi’s eyes narrowed, a realization flashing through. Lin Yushi wasn’t stupid, she just usually didn’t like to think about problems. Usually, her master and sister would figure things out, but when crucial, she could also understand some things.
